I do not own Bleach.
Me: *sighs mumbling about this being the start of a turn around*
Random fan: What the hell did you think you were doing? Really? Renji being taken by Ukitake?
Me: *looks up tiredly* yeah whats your point?
Random fan: My point is why? Why on earth would you do something like that?
Me: Why not? I mean seriously, how many countless fics have you read that seemed to play out like some fairy tale? Things aren't always like that. Don't worry ByaRen get together and all will be right in the world.
Random fan: *glares* but then what do they have to offer one another after all this mess?
Me: Experience. Love is not always an easy road to go down. Things don't always go as planned. People aren't always able to get what they want when and how they want it. However as much as this sounds rather cliche...true love conquers all...though I doubt that is this story. lol.
Random fan: *grumbles* fine it isn't like most stories...and what the hell was that last sentence and laugh for? What the hell are you planning?
Me: *smiles* it is already planned silly. If its too much for your mind to handle then stop reading it. I am at least happy with myself for thinking somewhat out of the box. Now onwards to the fic. sorry for the shorter chapter, but its a shift chapter.
Time: 6AM
Place: Ukitake's House
The sunlight shone through the windows of the place as Byakuya woke up groaning softly. It wasn't that he wasn't a morning person, it was just that he was rather tired. The day and night before would have been taxing on even the most talented and powerful shinigami that ever existed. He was sure that not even Ichigo Kurosaki could have handled so much in one day without feeling the effects the next, though the youth did have to deal with his pregnant younger sister. He had to get ready for work and he knew it. He had yet to open his eyes before a smell hit his nose. What was that? It actually smelled pretty good.
"If you don't wake up Byakuya. It will get cold and you will have nothing to eat before you have to go to work.", a highly familiar voice said to him.
Byakuya allowed a smile to grace his features before his eyes slid open. His gaze fell on his partner in crime. The man was smiling and seemed to have already gotten ready for the day. In the man's hands was a tray with different assortments of food on it. Byakuya sat up slowly taking the tray from Ukitake and placing it on the bedside table for a moment. They leaned in as one giving each other a sweet good morning kiss. They pulled away from one another staring into the other's eyes. Had this been any other situation, Byakuya was sure they would both be perfect for each other, but their hearts did not belong to the other. It was always best to be with who you wanted and loved.
But who is it that you want Byakuya?, the thought flashed past his mind. He quickly dismissed the thought. There was no reason for it. Logically, Ukitake would be a better pick however the man was in love with Hitsugaya and he, Byakuya, was in love with Renji. Still it was simple things like this that tended to start a good day.
Ukitake gave him another light kiss before pulling back enough to set the tray on Byakuya's lap and moving closer to him on the bed. He had made enough for them to share and he knew Byakuya knew that. He grabbed his eating utensils and picked a piece of fruit off the tray. "You look positively exhausted Byakuya.", he said offering the fruit to the younger male.
Byakuya took the fruit both enjoying and surprised at the fact that it was not as sweet as he expected. He savored the delicious piece of fruit noticing how Ukitake was watching his mouth as he did, granted he didn't mind. "How could I not?", Byakuya asked with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. "I'll be surprised if I can walk properly today after everything you did to me last night. One might think you were jealous or something."
Ukitake smiled. "One would think that wouldn't they? However your actions mirrored mine almost. Seriously, could you be anymore submissive Byakuya? I am surprised you can still talk normally today.", he said teasing back.
A light blush appeared on Byakuya's face, but he also smiled having a bit of fun as well. "Would you like to see how much more submissive I can be?", he said teasing even more.
"Thats possible?", Ukitake said with mock shock to his voice still smiling.
"Why don't you find out, Jushiro?", Byakuya said in a low sexy tone moving the tray to the bedside table again and using one finger to beckon Ukitake closer.
"Gladly.", Ukitake said before kissing Byakuya and pushing him back on the bed.
Time: 8AM
Place: 1st division office
Toshiro couldn't be any less on edge that day. He had not yet seen Renji and he wasn't sure what to say when he did see him. He loved Renji, he truly did, but nothing that he could think of would excuse either of their actions yesterday. Toshiro knew his lover and his previous lover. Both men were charmers in their own right, and he could believe that Renji would sleep with Ukitake to strike back at Byakuya. It was just as he knew it'd be believable that he'd use Byakuya to strike back at Ukitake. Even for a child genius such as Hitsugaya, he could not see through the web of intricate lies that not even Aizen or Gin would have been able to see through when everything happened like this. It could seem and did seem normal to most people after all.
Toshiro slammed his head on his desk not even able to concentrate on his paperwork. He looked over to Byakuya's desk which was still empty partially wondering where his captain was, but also thankful that he wasn't there. He could only imagine the awkwardness that would befall the atmosphere of the room when his captain did come in. Resigning himself to paperwork to hopefully clear his head if only for a moment, he started reviewing all the reports that had come in this morning. The morning seem to drag by slowly as he thought about his lover. What was Renji doing right now?
Time: 9AM
Place: 6th division office
Renji was pacing back and forth. He had been for a while now trying to figure out what the hell happened to him yesterday. His paperwork was sitting finished neatly on his desk as he had come in four hours earlier trying to clear his head. It worked, but only until both his and Rukia's paperwork was finished. His lieutenant was still on maternity leave and he was sure if she were here she would have smacked him and told him he was an idiot. The ring on his finger seemed to be a haunting reminder of the fact he betrayed someone he loved with the person his love was once the lover of. There was no way Toshiro would be able to forgive for this. He could tell that his lover still had some feelings for the older white haired captain. He both hated it and didn't mind it, because he knew while he was giving his all to Toshiro, he harbored some feelings for the captain commander.
Renji closed his eyes. There was nothing that could possibly make this day worse. He would have to tell Toshiro he slept with Ukitake and hope the younger shinigami would forgive him. He really did love Toshiro after all, however since when does life ever go the way someone wants it. Renji had just sat down contemplating how exactly he would tell Toshiro what happened with him and Ukitake, when he felt a highly familiar and somewhat distressed reiatsu. The person stopped outside of the door knocking in a show of respect before Renji told them to enter his office. He looked up into the eyes of one of the people he didn't want to see at the moment.
"Hello. What can I assist you Captain Commander Kuchiki? Please have a seat.", Renji asked sitting up a bit straighter and motioning for Byakuya to have a seat in front of the desk. It felt a little weird, but it was what was expected none the less.
Byakuya looked up at Renji seemingly troubled by something. "I need to tell you something Renji and I am not sure how to do as such. It is strange for me to not have the words needed to say something.", he said to him.
Renji raised an eyebrow at this. He could tell something was wrong. Since when did his cap- his former captain not really know what to say. Well, besides that incident where Rukia brought home Ichigo and said they got married. He took a deep breath and looked the man in the eye. "Well I find that the best way to approach something like that is to just say what is on your mind commander. If it is important, then it is best to get it done and over with.", Renji said with the bits of wisdom he had gained being a captain over the years.
Byakuya nodded. "Well spoken Renji. I must admit I am impressed.", Byakuya said to him seemingly nervous about what he needed to say.
A small sliver of pride made its way into Renji's heart when Byakuya said he was impressed that froze completely as he heard Byakuya's next words.
Last night, I was seduced by and had sex with Toshiro Hitsugaya.
Time: 10AM
Place: 13th division office
Ukitake sat behind his desk doing paperwork after sending his third seats to do some task he could not remember to get some peace and quiet. He heard a knock at the door and looked up smiling and telling the person to enter. The flowery clothing just made him shake his head as he waited for his friend to be seated. Shunsui came in with the normal twinkle in his eye as he sat down in front of his long time friend.
"You seem well today my friend.", he said to Jushiro. "I see Captain Urahara's medicine is working nicely for you."
"Indeed it is.", Jushiro said to him with a smile. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit my dear friend? I thought you'd be rather preoccupied with a certain newly instated twelfth division captain."
Shunsui laughed lightly. "Kisuke is visiting with Yoruichi and Nanao today.", he said to him.
"Oh? First name basis. How sweet.", Jushiro said to him moving his paperwork to the side for the moment. "Are things going well?"
"They are going pretty well. We just talk most of the time, though there are times in which a little fun ensues.", Shunsui said to him chuckling a bit before really looking at his friend. "You are wearing your hair in a ponytail today? You haven't done that for years."
"Hmmm, oh? I just thought it would be a nice change of pace you know. Something a little different." Jushiro said giving his famous smile.
"A little different you say?", Shunsui asked surveying his friend. "You haven't looked so happy since you fell in love with former captain now lieutenant Hitsugaya. Which could only mean-", he said getting cut off.
"Don't say it!", Jushiro said suddenly somewhat on edge. He noticed the shocked looked on his friend's face at his outburst before calming down considerably. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you like that."
Shunsui shook his head. "Why are you doing this to yourself Jushiro?", he asked and watched his friend try to object before he held a hand up to stop him. "You can say that you aren't doing anything bad, but look at it fully. Toshiro left you. Whether you want to face it or not, he did. You are in a relationship with Byakuya, and no matter what you two meant it to be when this all started, I can tell it is now very real to the both of you. That much is plainly obvious. However I can tell you have feelings for both of them. That's right. Both of them."
Jushiro looked away not wanting to hear what his friend was going to say, but knew he was going to hear it anyway.
"You can't have them both Jushiro and you will have to choose soon with your plan working the way it is.", Shunsui said to him.
Jushiro nodded. "I already know this and I have already chosen. I...I care for Byakuya, but I am in love with Toshiro.", he said though his voice wavered slightly as if he didn't believe his own words. It's only cause of this false relationship with Byakuya. Once I have Toshiro in my arms again. I wont feel things like this anymore.
"Then I hope its everything you've been dreaming of.", Shunsui said bowing his head a moment before looking up. "I shall take my leave now. If you need me, you know where to find me.", Shunsui said with a smile.
Ukitake looked at his friend and nodded. "Of course.", he said and watched the man leave. He tried to go back to work but best friend's words stuck in his mind.
Time: 11:45 AM
Place: 6th division training grounds
The training dummy in the yard was barely recognizable by the time Renji decided to stop what he was doing. Out of all the things that could have happened, why this? He really wasn't meant to be happy was he? He was just as worthless as he once believed. In his mind, he knew he could not lay the full blame on his short white haired lover. The earlier conversation played over and over in his mind.
***Flashback***
"Last night, I was seduced by and had sex with Toshiro Hitsugaya.", Byakuya had said to him. The same sentence playing over and over before he answered.
"He couldn't...he wouldn't do that to me. What the hell are you playing at Byakuya?", Renji asked forgetting to be formal in the office, but he was too shocked to care.
Byakuya looked at him and if he was upset about not being called captain commander or commander it did not show. "Have I ever lied to you by making such a serious allegation, Renji? I seem to remember when you lost your head and kissed me on Saturday that it was I who needed to remind you that you were marrying Lieutenant Hitsugaya.", he said to him in the same monotone he usually used.
Renji was silent as he remembered that day, before his speech found him again. "Why?", he asked softly. "Why did you do it?"
"To be honest Renji I don't know. I wasn't thinking clearly. I was on the way back to Jushiro's place when I ran into my very distressed lieutenant. I had asked if he wanted to come back with me, when he told me he didn't want to go back there. He was upset and he kept talking about how he couldn't believe something. When I inquired as to what it was, he told me. Needless to say I was more than shocked and he said I could sit at his place for a bit.", Byakuya said. "It was quite odd in a way as both of us ended up eating candy which I know neither of us really likes. After just sitting there for a little while...he asked me to make him forget if only for a little while. At first I resisted, but honestly all the hurt feelings came through and one thing lead to another.", the man finished looking down with a slightly bitter hint to his usually emotionless voice.
Renji looked at the man across the desk. "Exactly what did he tell you?", he asked nervously.
Byakuya sent an icy cold glare at Renji. This was all working so well. "How could you Renji?", he asked allowing what sounded to be hurt and betrayal through his voice. "How could you sleep with Jushiro? Did you do it just to hurt me? Do you really hate me that much? Does your own fiance Toshiro mean nothing to you? I never thought you were capable of...", Byakuya made it sound as if his voice broke and he looked truly miserable. The older male sighed and got up walking towards the door mentally celebrating his victory when it happened. His hand was on door handle to leave when he felt two arms wrap around him. This action surprised him. It was not one of the planned actions or scenarios that he and Ukitake had worked out as possibilities.
Renji wrapped his arms around the slightly shorter male tighter. "I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt Toshiro and I never meant to hurt you ever.", he said softly.
Byakuya was mentally panicking a little. He had not prepared anything for this sort of situation and well he had no idea what to do. He had to keep up appearances and at the same time he had to not make it seemed like this was not part of some elaborate plan. He was completely at a loss for the moment and he just stayed quiet to make it seem like he was still angry and that he was in shock...which he was.
"I don't know why I did what I did. I should have stopped, but I couldn't and because of that I hurt two people I care about.", he said to the older male.
Byakuya stiffened. It was different to hear Renji actually say it. He felt his own chest tighten and warm at the same time. "Renji..this is hardly approp-", he started to say when he was suddenly spun around and kissed. He couldn't help his reaction as kissing Renji felt like he had gained a piece of heaven. His body started to press closer before he realized what he was doing and pushed Renji away with a pained expression. He shook his head a little bit as if to clear it. "Why? You are still with Toshiro."
Renji closed his eyes. "I apologize and I know.", he said to him.
"I have to go Renji. This is just too much at once.", Byakuya said going to leave again.
"Your relationship with Ukitake. Is it...is it able to be fixed?", Renji asked him before he left.
Byakuya looked at him with uncertainty in his eyes. "I don't know.", he said before leaving.
***End of Flashback***
Renji struck the training dummy again. How could he screw things up this bad? He continued to hit the thing until he looked up at they sky realizing it was noon. Toshiro would be here soon. He sheathed his zanpakuto and tried to mentally prepare himself for what he knew was most likely going to happen next.
