Time: 12 pm
Place: Kuchiki Manor Training grounds
Both Byakuya and Renji left the captain commander's office as soon as they had finished their tea. The conversation seemed to come about somewhat easily considering everything that had happened recently. Most normal people would have continued to fight each other, but everyone had their games they were playing. The problem being who the pawns were and who currently had control. Neither side could admit to the games they were playing, but then to admit the games would be to admit defeat. Those thoughts were echoing through their minds as they walked and talked. Of course, neither of them knew the other was playing a game with the ultimate prized for both of them being one another. No, it wouldn't have worked if they knew that.
Their conversation was not the most riveting conversation the two had ever had though for now it was perfect. Byakuya had originally suggested that they spar at the first division training grounds, but Renji had refused saying that the sixth division ones would be better suited. After a discussion about it, they agreed to do it at training grounds located on Byakuya's property to have less of a chance of being interrupted or distracted during their spar. The walk wasn't particularly long and once they arrived, Byakuya informed the few staff he had to make sure no one disrupted the match unless it was a dire emergency or Rukia went into labor.
Renji followed Byakuya with determination in his mind's eye. He hoped Toshiro was able to get to have lunch with Captain Ukitake as they had planned. If everything went well, then they would be well on their way getting the two that had somehow managed to capture their hearts again. The whole thing was strange really considering that both he and Toshiro had given up on Byakuya and Jushiro, only to realize that they hadn't fully given up. Just like those plants that die in the winter only to come back in spring in full force, they had found themselves unable to stop their feelings for the two older captains from forming again.
Toshiro...
Renji found himself thinking a bit more about his former fiancé. The short white haired shinigami had made him so happy and even if they managed to get Byakuya and Jushiro, he would still love him. He stopped when Byakuya did and looked around the training ground. Ah, memories. He missed the days when he didn't have a care in the world and had snuck out here to see his best friend and now lieutenant Rukia. He was so busy remembering that he did not hear Byakuya speak to him until the other had lightly touched his shoulder.
"Forgive me Byakuya. I was merely having a trip down memory lane." he said with a smile.
Byakuya nodded. "Yes. I can remember when you used to sneak here to visit Rukia when you thought I wouldn't notice." he said fondly as if getting lost in the memory himself. "I always wondered why you thought you could hide your reiatsu at that point. I am sure you are better at it now hopefully." he said to him.
Renji laughed. "I doubt I am that good at it. I haven't been practicing it that much." he said with a smile. 'You have no idea how much I've improved on things like that.', he thought silently to himself considering it might affect his and Toshiro's plans for later.
"Well I hope at least since you've become proficient in kido that you wont lose your nerve and have it explode in your face. It would end our match a little too quickly." he said before flash stepping away from Renji.
Renji blinked a few times. Did he just-? Did Byakuya just say he paid some attention to Renji and joked about the times back then? Of course the captain commander did not say it in half as many words, but still it was there. Renji had been his lieutenant for a long time and it was rare, but he knew Byakuya liked to joke around a bit when he felt at ease. The knowledge of the fact Byakuya had noticed all of Renji's failed kido attempts made him slightly happy only because it meant that maybe he hadn't been as invisible as he felt sometimes. He looked at Byakuya with another smile. "Well then shall we get started Captain Kuchiki?" he asked with a slight smirk at seeing Byakuya's reaction to the slight bit of nostalgia.
"Yes, I am ready lieutenant." he said to Renji, who thankfully didn't allow a blush to appear on his face. Both of them unsheathed their zanpakutos and released them into their first release only... for now. Renji was the first to attack giving a sense of familiarity when he purposefully did a move in which he was known to do in his earlier years.
Byakuya raised an eyebrow and blocked the attack easily. "Still making rookie mistakes, captain?" he asked him slightly teasing.
Renji laughed. "Am I?" he asked when the blade of his shikai turned in mid-air. Byakuya immediately went to defend higher knowing that was how Renji usually fought and was barely able to stop the blade from hitting his blind side.
"Impressive. This will be a decent match." Byakuya said just as his counter attack missed Renji by mere inches. He knew, but was surprised his former lieutenant was able to move out of the way of senbonzakura's petals that fast.
Time: 12: 45pm
Place: Ukitake's house
Toshiro had arrived just a few minutes ago after making a stop on his way over. He remembered that Ukitake's favorite food was ohagi and therefore went to get him some before he went to his house. This conversation needed to have a breaking point. Unfortunately it could not have a normal breaking point though regardless of how he would want it to be. No the breaking point he needed had much to do with what he spiked the ohagi with. He approached the door and knocked giving a small smile when he saw his former and hopefully soon to be lover again. Jushiro smiled at Toshiro and invited him inside leading him to the kitchen.
It was now that Toshiro for a moment thought about Renji. He would strangely enough have to ask the other how Jushiro was in bed since he saw that his former lover had been on top. Other than that, he wanted to find a way to thank Renji sincerely. Renji hadn't reverted back to the shell Toshiro had desperately wanted to break. No, the other understood perfectly. It could be the fact that Renji still had feelings for Byakuya or it could be the fact that they both realize that while they were very much in love and compatible, they did not feel as complete. He would continue to love Renji even if he got back with Jushiro. Feelings like that aren't easy to break.
He walked into the kitchen giving Jushiro a playful glare when the other offered him a lollipop before he sat down across from the other male. They were both sipping cups of water while Jushiro ate the food that Toshiro brought over. He seemed to be staring intently at the table, before finally speaking up.
"You look like you are doing well. How is your relationship after what... happened?" Toshiro asked him still not meeting Jushiro's eyes just yet. "I... am sorry about what I did following that. I really am. I guess I was just in shock."
Jushiro finished eating what was in his mouth. "I am sorry, Toshiro. I am not sure what happened to be honest. I had an attack and then... I am very sorry for my actions Toshiro." he told him looking at the younger male he has been scheming to get back for sometime now.
Toshiro said nothing for a few moment making it seem as though he was trying to take in the information rather than what he was actually thinking. He was trying to figure out how to spin the conversation or catch the older captain off guard. "Did you enjoy it?" he asked the other finally looking at Jushiro.
The elder white haired captain was in fact taken aback by the question and it showed on his features. He looked at Toshiro confused as if he had misheard the question, but the look in the other's eyes assured him that he didn't. Clearing his throat Jushiro answered the question as best as he could. "I don't know how it happened and I am apologetic that it did in fact happen. However, I can admit to thinking Renji is a decent partner." he said not sure where this was going. This hadn't been one of the things he and Byakuya discussed in his plot.
A small smile flitted across Toshiro's face. "Well I will admit to being hurt when I saw you two together." he said to him still with the small smile. "However, I guess it is only fair that you took Renji's 'virginity' away from me as he took mine and I had once promised it to you."
Jushiro wasn't sure how to respond to that to be honest. He thought Toshiro may have forgotten that promise or something after he left him. Instead he sipped some of his water. "Then I suppose it was in fact fair." he said and Toshiro looked down.
"Did you wish it was me?" he asked once again catching the thirteenth division captain off guard.
Jushiro blinked a few times before answering. "I am in a relationship with Byakuya currently and it would be rude to imagine someone else while with your lover."
"Just as it would be rude to have intimate relations with someone else's lover. We are both guilty of that. If you really want to know, his hair reminded me of you when Byakuya and I 'comforted' one another." he said to Jushiro. Hopefully, that would have the reaction he was looking for.
"I understand." Jushiro said to him resisting the urge to frown at the memory. "I will admit to imagining you a bit when I was with Renji, mainly the scent, since you two are in such close company.", he said to Toshiro.
Great, Toshiro thought. He got up from his chair and moved over to Jushiro and gave him a hug making sure to press closer to him. "It's alright. Besides I am sure the scent comes better from me.", he said not too much shorter than the other since he was sitting down still. "I'm sorry..." he said to him and then kissed Jushiro on the lips.
Jushiro was shocked and for a moment and then started to push Toshiro away, but the other broke the kiss giving Jushiro a look that effectively shut up any fight that he was going to put up. Something about this felt wrong and yet he wanted to kiss Toshiro again. A flash of long dark hair came into his mind, but by this time he was already kissing Toshiro. The smaller shinigami started to dominate the kiss and as previously Jushiro let him dominate it. He wasn't sure when the kisses left his lips and travel down to his neck. He could feel soft nips closer to his collarbone and was unsure when his top slid down a bit. Jushiro moaned slightly feeling the soft bites to his collar bone and top of his chest before suddenly Toshiro stopped. The other looked partially wide eyed and a little upset and something Ukitake could not name.
"I apologize Jushiro. I should not have disrespected our relationships yet again. I realize I am a terrible person please forgive me.", he said to him. "I need to run as well to meet Renji and I am very sorry." he said again and then left.
Time: 4 pm
Place: Kuchiki Manor
They had just finished their last spar having stopped in the middle in order to eat and replenish some of their energy. Renji smiled at Byakuya, while the latter was trying to very discreetly look at Renji's body. Their fight had torn up the top half of Renji's uniform so that his bare chest had been exposed. The way the tattoos seem to be damn near shining with sweat in the sunlight was not helping the sexy image that the other presented. However, judging by the lateness and the slightly cooler air, he realized he was late to going to Ukitake's house. Of course, he would explain that he had been having a practice spar with Renji and then they could work on more of their plan.
He wanted to stay and perhaps ask Renji if he would like to stay for dinner, but he still had to play the 'in love with Jushiro' card until he was sure that he had Renji for good. Byakuya ignored the voice in the back of his mind that said it wasn't an act and smiled at Renji. "I do need to get going soon. I do apologize for the abruptness of my departure while you are visiting." Byakuya said to him.
"It is not a problem. I have a prior engagement as well. So do you believe I have improved since we were once on the same squad?" he asked Byakuya stretching a bit.
Byakuya's eyes followed the stretching before he spoke. "I would say you have improved greatly. I truly felt challenged in this spar and I am truly impressed with how much you've seem to grow all these years." he said to him. He was trying to show some sort of emotion on his face, though he had to school his features as he felt guilt for not noticing these things about Renji before all of this. Maybe he should just let go and let Renji be happy with Toshiro. Apologize and hopefully forgive and forget with time.
Renji noticed Byakuya lost in thought and decided to do something that would work for his and Toshiro's plans anyway. He went over to Byakuya and by the way Byakuya didn't move Renji knew the other was still deep in thought. Kneeling down on one knee, Renji took one of Byakuya's hands and kissed the back of it making Byakuya snap out of his thoughts and look down at Renji.
"Renji..." he asked confused on why the other was on his knees and kissing the back of his hand.
"A kiss on the back of your hand to symbolize respect. A kiss..." Renji said kissing the tips of Byakuya's fingers making the other captain fail in resisting the urge to blush. "To your fingertips to acknowledge that while we are friends and colleagues that I am still not your equal and I accept that.", he said and then placed a kiss on Byakuya's palm and got up moving away leaving the training grounds.
"And that kiss Renji?" Byakuya asked him wanting to know.
"That kiss... is for you to figure out yourself Byakuya." Renji said and then flash stepped away before Byakuya could say anything more.
Time: 5 pm
Place: In a hidden area not far from Ukitake's house
Toshiro was patiently waiting for Renji with his reiatsu hidden so well that not even captain Soi-fon would be able to find him. It was getting dark in Seireitei which meant most shinigami were going to hang out with friends, lovers, or just going home to sleep. He was starting to wonder if Renji had succeeding in messing with Byakuya's head a little, and breathed a sigh of relief when the other appeared next to him.
"How did it go?" Toshiro whispered. "My mission went just fine."
"Mine went fine as well. Byakuya should be here shortly." he said as both were effectively hiding their reiatsu signatures so the other two wouldn't notice. Once Byakuya arrived and went inside Toshiro and Renji slowly moved positions to be able to hear better and both with their favorite foods sitting on their lap eating them like popcorn as they heard the scene unfold.
Time: 5:30 pm
Place: Inside Ukitake's House
Byakuya gave a small smile as he greeted his lover though his mind was on the strange after sparring incident with Renji. The white haired captain was just sitting in the kitchen making another cup of tea to take his medicine with. He must say he loved the fact that Urahara was able to find something to better control his illness with. He hated feeling like a vegetable most of the time.
Jushiro took one look at Byakuya and noticed the other was lost in his thoughts. Then he remembered that Byakuya had been sparring with Renji earlier. Frowning, he set his cup of tea down after taking the medicine and looked at his lover. "So what were you doing today?" he said with a bit more edge to his voice than he meant to start out with.
Byakuya's eyes narrowed at Ukitake when he looked at his lover and noticed love bites on him. "The better question Jushiro is what were you doing and why the hell do you have love bites on your neck?", he asked.
"What I do is none of your business Byakuya." he said to him feeling bad at the hurt angry look on Byakuya's face.
"I would think it was my business considering WE ARE DATING!" Byakuya near yelled barely able to keep his anger under his control.
Jushiro glared at him as well. "How the hell could I forget? You practically live here now and we spend every day together just about." he snapped back at the other.
"Well I'm sorry. I wanted to spend more time with you before you just dropped dead considering your age." Byakuya said seething.
Jushiro looked like he would break the damn table in half with his zanpakuto in a minute. "Don't you dare say anything about my age. My age has nothing to do with it and I am not just going to drop dead. No what might kill me is having to put up with a little brat like you."
Byakuya advanced on Ukitake. "I am NOT a brat, Jushiro." he said to him menacingly before the other got up and slammed him up on to the counter. They were still arguing and fighting even as carnal need took over and they started to have sex.
~Outside with Toshiro and Renji~
The younger shinigamis managed to hide the reiatsu even through fits of jealousy and silent laughter. The plan worked and though the other two were not broken up and were having angry whatever the hell that was sex, this was definitely a good start.
