Chapter 8: Dangerously Close
(Ah, this one has been percolating for so long! Thanks to Henka-chan for nudging me to finish this luscious chapter!)
"Tessai-san," Renji called softly, holding his yukata closed and peeking down the hallway.
"Ah, Moocher-san, what can I bring you?" the big shinigami asked, a slight mocking edge to his voice.
Renji scowled.
"Would you please stop calling me that?" he pleaded in an exasperated tone, "I'm not a moocher! You and I both know Urahara-san works my ass off in exchange for everything, so I don't know why you have to..."
"What was it you wanted, Moocher-san?" Tessai interrupted, arching a thick eyebrow.
Renji stiffened, but ignored the jab.
"Nothing big, just a protection charm, okay?"
"Ah, I see," Tessai replied, tilting his head slightly and looking at Renji over the top of his glasses, "Of course. I will be happy to provide you with a protection charm so that you can properly defile Byakuya-san's cousin, practically under his nose, then."
"Hey! No one's being defiled. We're having sex. And we're not going to be loud or bother anyone. We'll be quiet and clean up after ourselves. Shit, I don't know why you're complaining. It's better than that damned Yoruichi, screeching all night every time Soi Fon taichou comes to visit! They practically shatter the windows."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Tessai said blithely, fishing a protection charm out of his shirt pocket, "I never hear a thing through their privacy shield. I wonder why you do. Maybe you are overly sensitive."
"Huh," Renji huffed, shaking his head as he turned back into the bedroom, "and maybe the people in this hideout are all freaking perverts!"
"Did you say something, Renji-san?" Tetsuya asked, his wide blue eyes and small, enigmatic smile sending a heady jolt through the redhead's already throbbing loins.
"Ah, no!" Renji said quickly, "I was just...eh, thanking Tessai-san for the protection charm."
"Oh," Tetsuya replied, blushing, "He wasn't angry, was he?"
"Oh no, he was just his usual helpful self," Renji lied.
"Erm, Renji-san, are you sure we should do this here?" Tetsuya asked, looking guilty at the thought, "With Byakuya-sama here and being on someone else's property, I..."
"Wh-what?" Renji stammered, giving him a distraught look, "But we have to be here because we're helping to guard Ren-san! And we'll be quiet, I promise! I mean, I will. And we can use a privacy shield. Tetsuya-san...!"
He read the penitent look on Tetsuya's comely face and swiftly deflated.
"Okay," Renji said, more softly and in a completely serious tone, brushing his fingers lightly along Tetsuya's soft cheek, "If you want to wait, I'll wait. I love you, Tetsuya. I'm not going to do anything to hurt or embarrass you."
He caught his breath in surprise at the slow smile that crept across Tetsuya's cute features.
"What?" he mused, blinking in confusion, "What's so funny?"
"You know, Renji, being Byakuya-sama's personal bodyguard, I know he and Ichigo-san make love at Urahara-san's shop and on his other properties quite often. I'm sure it's fine."
"B-but you said...?" Renji said in a flustered tone.
"I was teasing you!" Tetsuya laughed, yanking the tall redhead down onto the bed with him and meeting him for a flurry of hard, hungry kisses, "I can't wait for you to make love to me!"
"Really?" Renji said breathlessly, "but you were so reluctant before."
"I know. I'm sorry. I was just a little bit afraid before, especially as I hadn't told you about what happened in the prison. I thought maybe you wouldn't want the bother of having to..."
"Are you kidding?" Renji chuckled, pulling him close and sinking into his mouth indulgently, "If I was worried about stupid little things, I wouldn't have dared approach Taichou's own cousin in the first place. And you being able to have babies is really kinda cool. We took care of little ones in our gang in the Rukongai sometimes and I always thought they were really cute. Kinda stinky and messy and loud sometimes, but cute. When we're ready, it'll be great to be able to have our own little rugrats!"
"I'm so glad you feel that way, Renji!" Tetsuya sighed, relaxing in the redhead's arms and smiling as he watched Renji's hands slowly bare him.
"Hold on a sec. Something's not quite right," Renji said, slipping the protection charm around Tetsuya's neck, then moving to the window, where he moved the curtain to let in a shaft of pretty blue moonlight that fell down across the bed and lit Tetsuya's naked body with it's lovely hue, "That's more like it!"
"Renji!"
Tetsuya was lost for words as Renji turned and stripped away his yukata, baring the bold array of his tattoos to the moonlight, then laying down on top of him. He reeled under the power of the touch of that hot body rubbing against his, the redhead's attractive scent and the swell of his hungry arousal where it pressed against Tetsuya's naked thigh. His words left him all over again as Renji's wetted fingers found his nether region and slowly prepared him for their joining. Renji entered the blushing noble in measured thrusts, watching Tetsuya's blue eyes for any sign of discomfort, then pausing when he was fully entrenched.
"Are you all right?" he whispered, kissing a pleasantly flushed cheek, "Do you want to hold still for a bit?"
"N-no, please, Renji!" Tetsuya moaned sensuously, "I w-want...I want you to m-move!"
"Like this?" the redhead asked, moving his hips experimentally, then smiling at the heady, erotic sound that escaped Tetsuya's blushing lips.
"Oh! Oh kami, yes!" panted the noble, thrashing impatiently beneath him, "Yes! Yes! YES!"
Renji barely had the presence of mind to remember to set a privacy shield in place, and neither man was aware at all of the presence of the tall, bespectacled man outside their door, listening and smiling wickedly.
"So...the final test is underway," Tessai whispered in a voice that sounded nothing like his own, "First the two of you...then..."
He heard a door handle turning somewhere down the hall and melted quickly into the shadows.
"Tessai," said Kisuke as the two exited the lab and started down the hallway, "I'm gonna go and get some sleep now. If you could let me know when the results of that testing come through..."
"Sure thing, boss," Tessai answered, nodding.
Kisuke slipped into one of the bedrooms while his friend turned back into the laboratory. When the hall was empty again, Tessai's false double reappeared at Tetsuya and Renji's door.
"Hmmm," the fake mused softly, starting down the hallway.
He invoked his hypnotic power and slid noiselessly into the laboratory, sneaking up behind Tessai and swiftly incapacitating him. He watched as the computer worked at the samples, his brown eyes intense as he read the results.
"Oh," he whispered, smirking, "Interesting!"
XXXXXXXXXX
"I'm real sorry to be such a bother," Ren said penitently, moving to the dressing area and positioning himself so that the other two men in the room couldn't help but glimpse him as he changed.
"Don't worry about it," Ichigo assured him, blushing as he saw Ren's yukata fall away out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help being distracted by the younger man's attractive mingling of tattoos and complex piercings.
Byakuya, too, seemed likewise flustered by him.
"I just mean that I know you guys are seeing each other and I feel like I'm getting in the way."
"There are more important things for Ichigo and me to be thinking about now," Byakuya stated firmly, "You must be kept safe while we attempt to learn more about your powers. This is not asking too much."
"Well, I really appreciate it," Ren said, ruffling his thick hair, then stumbling to the bed and collapsing onto it.
He wriggled under the covers letting his top open provocatively, then smiled at the two as they took up protective positions in the room.
"Good night, then," he said amiably.
"Good night, Ren," Byakuya responded.
"Good night," Ichigo intoned.
The room went quiet as Ren drifted slowly off to sleep and the two guarding shinigamis met by the window.
"It seems like we've been successful in hiding his presence from Soi Fon taichou's bunch," Ichigo sighed.
"So far, yes," Byakuya agreed, glancing back over his shoulder at Ren for a moment, then looking back out into the moonlit night, "but we must be cautious. Not only do we have to watch out for the Gotei forces..."
"We also don't know where Aizen is," Ichigo concluded.
"Exactly," Byakuya replied, "but we do know that he is both crafty and very much interested in this young man."
"There are still a lot of mysteries to figure out too," Ichigo said, shaking his head, "Like, how he's Aizen and Kisuke's son, but Kisuke didn't know anything about him."
"There is also the fact that he was in the Rukongai and under a seal for so long," Byakuya added.
"It seems like we're a long way from the answers," sighed Ichigo, "And every minute it takes to find them is a minute that we could be found or Ren could encounter something that could set his powers off again. It's weird that power that activated even under a limiter."
"Yes," Byakuya agreed, "but it is a suggestion that what was being used was an innate ability, rather than a reiatsu based one. All shinigamis have natural abilities. It is from these that the zanpakutou eventually draws their power. But, even if the zanpakutou is destroyed, the smaller natural ability will remain. This is why Central 46 had to be so cautious in keeping Aizen bound and closely guarded."
"And even with all of that, he managed to escape."
"I think his natural abilities played a lot into that," Byakuya concluded.
"You're probably right," Ichigo said, yawning.
He let his head fall onto Byakuya's warm shoulder and breathed in the noble's soft, pleasant scent.
"Man, it's such a pretty night," he continued sleepily, "Makes me just want to curl up in your arms and drift off right here."
"You can sleep a bit if you are tired," Byakuya invited him, "I will watch things for a while."
"Naw, I like just being with you like this, when it's quiet and nothing's happening. It doesn't seem like we get that much down time."
"No," the noble agreed, "but I think we make the most of the quiet moments that we have."
"Yeah," Ichigo sighed, slipping a hand into his and squeezing it gently, then kissing Byakuya on the cheek.
The two ceased talking, focusing on the lovely moon and pretty array of stars, then glancing at each other and exchanging knowing smiles as a flicker of heady, riled reiatsu played across their senses.
"Tetsuya and Renji?" Ichigo mused, "finally! He's been panting after Tetsuya for months now, but..."
"He's been intimidated by me, I think," Byakuya admitted.
"Yeah, he's aware of what you'd do to him if he screws things up with your cousin."
"Strangely, I never had a doubt, either about Renji's intentions or his ability to make my cousin happy."
"They do seem to be meant for each other."
"Yes."
The two quieted again, just stroking each other's fingertips and looking up into the sky as time passed. Sometime after midnight, a gentle mist began to rise outside. Their eyes blinked slowly as the mist blanketed the area and gradually blocked out their view of the sky. Then, oddly, mist seemed to seep into the room. It curled around their bodies and that of the young man sleeping in the bed, making Ren's body begin to glow softly with power, then sending the other two men drifting off. Before any of them realized what was happening, all three were asleep.
Ren felt something rubbing against the bare skin of his front and back, and opened his eyes to an unexpected, but definitely not unwelcome sight. Ichigo knelt in front of him, deliciously bared and pressed up against him, their swollen arousals rubbing against each other, while an equally naked Kuchiki Byakuya rubbed sweetly against his backside. Each of the other two men nibbled gently on opposite sides of his throat, then paused to meet for a scorching kiss over his shoulder. Caught in between the two and teased by their obvious arousal, Ren moaned and thrashed erotically, letting his hands first explore Ichigo's soft, muscular breasts, erect nipples and tight, round bottom, before moving on and reaching behind him to stroke Byakuya's hungry length. The noble bit down on the back of Ren's shoulder and began to prepare him, then breathed words into his ear that made a shiver go through him.
"Be prepared," the noble warned him, "You have teased us all you are going to. Now, we are both going to take you at once."
"Oh!"
"But don't worry," Ichigo panted in his other ear, "We won't hurt you...probably."
Ichigo laid back, pulling Ren down on top of him and laughing as Byakuya continued to prepare the younger man, then guided Ichigo slowly into joining with him. Ren groaned at the size of the one alone, then panted harshly, shutting his eyes tightly as Byakuya's fingers continued the preparation and ever so slowly, he added himself to their joining.
"Are you okay?" Ichigo asked breathlessly.
"I feel like I'm going to break!" Ren managed feverishly, "but yeah...I'm fine."
But he wondered if he would continue to be as his two lovers began to move, settling into a steady, alternating rhythm and continuing to trace the dark lines on his body with their tongues, pausing to exchange hard, melting kisses with each other and with him. The three men moved together, their hearts racing with every deep, heavy thrust. And Ren felt a sensation approaching that dwarfed anything he had ever felt before.
"Oh!" he moaned loudly, "Oh god...oh god...OH GODS!"
The three climaxed together, the blazing heat of his two lovers filling Ren until he thought he would burst and making his own release spill out on their still undulating bodies as they slowed in their motions and finally stopped, leaving the three panting and undone, their moonlit forms in a sweet tangle on the bed.
In moments, all three were asleep.
XXXXXXXXXX
Ren felt life coming back into his body and groaned very softly at finding himself sandwiched between two other naked, male forms. He sucked in a surprised breath at opening his eyes to find himself splayed out across Ichigo's chest, with Byakuya's lovely, naked and, as had been in the dream he had been having, wonderfully aroused body pressed up against his backside.
How in the heck did this happen? the young man wondered, not daring to move lest he should wake the other two men and shatter the beauty of their entanglement, I thought it was a dream, but did we really all have sex?
He shifted slightly and felt sticky dampness in several telling places.
Damn! We did have sex!
Really, really good sex!
But what are they going to do when they wake up?
Ren bit at his lips gently, thinking it over carefully, then he closed his eyes and relaxed as he felt the other two begin to wake. He waited, keeping his eyes mostly closed until he saw Ichigo's open and felt the other two men stiffen reflexively.
"Oh!" Ichigo gasped, "Whoa!"
"Wh-what happened here?" Byakuya mused, staring at their entwined bodies.
"I don't know," Ren answered honestly, sucking in a piqued breath as the other two men pulled free of him and sat up.
"Do you remember anything?" Byakuya asked Ichigo.
"Ah...just falling asleep on your shoulder, then I had a dream about the three of us."
"I did also," Byakuya said in a stunned tone.
"Me too," added Ren.
"But why?" Ichigo mused.
The three looked at each other with mystified eyes, unable to find any further words. But they were spared the trouble as the door opened and Kisuke stepped into the room, then skidded to a stop and blinked in surprise.
"Oh," he said sheepishly, "Looks like I got here a little late."
"What do you mean?" Byakuya asked stridently, "Do you know why this happened?"
"Ah...yeah, actually," Kisuke chuckled, "It looks like the three of you are true resonants!"
