He flicks his last cigarette in the air and watches it dwarfing away as he stood on the balcony surrounded by cold, frigid nights and shifting silhouettes. His long fingers brush the fine fabric of his suit, tasting the smoothness, the lines and then snorted softly... It cost a lot of figures to wear this kind of shit. He unbuttoned it, so he can lean over; not minding his tattoo to peak out from his chest, and watch the dancing lights down below, lining inside the curved and snaky roads. The busy streets are not that demanding before, he thought. Even billboards and street signs are not lucrative as he remembered. Changes. Changes. He used to live in this neighborhood, but now he felt like an alien from the place he begged for shelter and food to survive, and retract a snobbish reply. Though his childhood was a nightmare, he never dreamed of leaving the city that made a mark for him. However, he must, and since then the world he left behind moved on. And so thus Renji Abarai. His black-tinted hair swirled as the wind hit the back of his neck, that every now and then he raked it with his hand. His amber eyes under the blue contact lens soothe to focus on one far corner of the city, to his right, where a place someone waits for his return. It pained him to remember, but then again, he promised to be there... He will come. Surely, he will come... Not tonight, though. If his plan accomplished its goals, without a doubt, he would come. He must do something first, and he needs all his guts to do it so. Renji Abarai must be ready himself for the change. Even so, the change has to wait, as his attention was descended when a sundry laugh sounded behind the glass doors. Though the night is still young, galas and those aristocratic faces sweeping across the fancy hall made him feel duller even more. Pompous ass'... He turned his attention to his glass and sighed, no more wine. But then again... forget it. There's no way he's going back inside to snatch another one. The world of infamous personality, politicians and the likes was not his style. Not that he has a bad behavior to begin with, he just... hates it. He shook his head and smiled to himself. No. He laughed at himself. Renji Abarai can leave any time he chooses; he doesn't have to endure all this hypocrisy. If not for a reason, he could drop it all and marched away through that door. But it took him forever to be here, no way to ruin it now. Another cigarette would do. Fuck if he had one. "I can see boredom is depleting you." Renji cocked his brow haughtily, but kept his eyes plastered somewhere out there without moving much of a budged. Human behaviors are weird to begin with, and so does the ampler surprise. A voice of a man behind him started him yet he shows no response to it. Either deliberately or otherwise, Renji just stood still. "Forgive the intrusion," said the man who's now starting to walk towards the lamppost of the veranda. The sound of his voice was like a hymn from those of fairy tale books. "I hope I didn't disturb you?" Renji snorted softly and glance over his right. He saw a figure of a man with shoulder-length hair stood under the light, and Renji controlled himself not to laugh, for the man has a pink mane—a color too ridiculous for an adult male. "Can I help yah?" "No." The man with a weird taste of color shook's his head. "But I want to ask you the same thing." Renji smiled, but as soon the man stood in front of him, arm's length, the smile faded. The eyes under the silver-framed glasses of the other man shivered Renji Abarai. He saw amber. No. Gold, and felt his jaw tightened seeing the like of it again, anger creasing as though burning his nostrils. The stranger's face appeared to be young and treacherously beautiful. The black suit he wears contrasts the frame that attached to his neck. Anyone who believed attraction at first sight was a myth; the stranger has an exception for it. His smile alone can weaken the toughest predator, drag anyone to its knees and beg for more. However, for Renji, none of these came. In fact, his hands want to move voluntarily and strangle the man with everything he owns. But the eyes... Renji looked away, hating to see his reflection from those golden orbs. "Did I frighten you?" "No." "Did I say something to—" "No." Renji closed his eyes, shut it tighten, and then the stranger heard a murmur coming from his lips. When he was about to withdraw from the somewhat crude gesture, Renji spoke and this time it sounded like a purr. "No. I'm sorry if I acted... rude." The stranger smiled. "Your glass is empty. Here—" he offered Renji champagne. Renji nodded sheepishly and took the glass from the alabaster hand. He acted as if he was apologizing, but beneath the hooded eyes, Renji was smiling—a triumphant, so to speak. He already knew he's been watched by those prying gaze of the pink-headed man since he came out to the balcony. Or better yet, since he stepped inside the premises of this building. Renji's goal is to be the bait, yields to the man's inner request and hopes to stay that way... ...Till morning at least. He drank his wine. The stranger looked around the balcony. "Alone, I see?" "The date runs off." Renji shrugged. "It happens." "How sad." "In a while. People inside might think I'm insane talking to the wind out here, but since you came..." he stopped. It's too early. They both gazed at the horizon. "Do you like what you see?" Renji said suddenly, almost a whisper, a tease. "I'd seen it a thousand times." "I wasn't talking about the stars..." The man laughed softly. Renji inched up a little, lifting the glass to his mouth. "So how about you, someone runs off from you too...?" "Granz," the man answered his new companion's silent query. "Dr. Szayel Granz. You can call me by name, though. No sir or doctor, please. I wouldn't allow that kind of formality when I'm outside my profession. It ruins everything. And no. No dates for tonight. No dates for a long time, in fact." He sipped from his glass. "And you are?" Renji had to lie. Forgive me... "Kurosaki." Renji held up a hand. "Ichigo Kurosaki. No preambles, no titles..." "I see."Granz probe for a moment. "Never have I remembered putting you on the guest list." "Oh." Renji then laughed. "Saw you're the host of this boring party?" A raise brow from the direct candor. "Touché, Kurosaki-san. I like that. However... look over there." Granz motioned to his right where one giant man stood near the threshold of the door, dressed so formal like a pissed-off federal agent, and Renji wondered right away where the hell the large man came from and how he got there without making a noise. "You know I have the capability of... what's that word... throw anyone out for crashing my party? Nevertheless, I do sometimes have an exception, Kurosaki-san." He laughs a little. "Save for Medazeppi, of course. He doesn't like gatecrashers. Well, he doesn't like anyone, in particular, in fact. He despised everything that moves." Granz smiled at this, having the presence of his bodyguard really do affect someone with raw nature. Renji lowered his glass and set it on the table near him. "My apologies, I guess I'm busted then. Do you want to kick me out now?" The doctor studied him for a moment, scanning him from head to toe. Renji tried to relax with those eyes of which he noticed there's a hint of mischief in it. "Well?" he followed. "Are you begging for your punishment, Mr. Kurosaki?" "Am I entitled?" "That is up to you. Do you know who I am?" "A doctor?" "I am more than that." "Can you be my host, then?" "Like I said it's up to you." Renji pushed himself from the veranda and closed their distance, and stop until their noses were a few inches apart. Between them, a hand was raised. "From what I witness tonight," Renji purred, "you need my help in that department." "Then you better show me how." Bingo. "And the gorilla?" Granz glance towards Medazeppi. The giant man nodded back and opened the glass door. "Do not worry about him," Granz said, leading Renji towards the door. "He's harmless." "And your party?" The pinkhead man smiled and walk ahead of him. "What party?"
