First Captain’s Club
Ukitake patiently watched the younger captain in silence as he took several more shots of the sakè. Jyushiro had already wiped the tears from his face and blown his nose, but Byakuya hadn’t said another word since placing his hand upon the white-haired man’s shoulder. Jyushiro knew not to pry; the Kuchiki were known for their pride and it would have been insulting for the older captain to push the other further. Instead, he held his emotions back again, this time overwhelmed with curiosity with what the sixth division captain had to say.
After five or six cups, Byakuya sighed heavily, his cheeks flushing slightly as his light blue eyes reflected hints of sadness as they stared at his cup. “Remember the times before Aizen,” he finally whispered voice heavy with emotion. “Things… were better then. I never realized it at the time… but I enjoyed his company, the few times we weren’t arguing. There were even a few occasions when we…,” his eyes darted around the bar slowly, checking for eavesdroppers before finishing his sentence in a very, very quiet tone, “we had sex, but don’t you dare tell anybody that, Ukitake-san.”
“Don’t worry, Byakuya-kun,” the thirteenth captain reassured, an amused smile on his lips despite himself. “Your secret’s safe with me.”
The dark haired man nodded, downing another cup of rice wine before continuing. “It’s true that you don’t know what you cherish until it’s gone. What a fool I was not to see it….”
“Byakuya-kun?” Jyushiro asked softly as his comrade filled his cup again.
“It’s all Kurosaki Ichigo’s fault!” Kuchiki snapped, blue eyes sharpening into cold daggers.
A dark eyebrow upon the older captain’s forehead rose in question. “Ichigo-kun? What did he do?”
Byakuya’s free hand clenched into a fierce fist and a dark scowl made his face look even more agitated than he usually was. “Ever since… ever since that bastard Aizen betrayed Soul Society….” A soft growl rumbled low in his throat, making Jyushiro think that maybe the younger man hadn’t yet gotten over this heartbreak. “All… all Kenpachi does is chase after Kurosaki and challenge him to fight! It used to be me that he’d insist on fighting, but he hardly even looks at me now. He left me… for that damn orange-haired punk!”
Ukitake was speechless, truly speechless. Kuchiki Byakuya, the noblest person in the whole of Soul Society, had been involved with Zaraki Kenpachi, the man from the 80th District of Rukon? It was almost too hard for him to comprehend, especially since Jyushiro hadn’t even noticed nor suspected a thing, which was probably what they had wanted anyway.
“So you see, Ukitake-san,” the clan leader said at the other’s stunned silence, “I know exactly where you’re coming from. I was dumped for a younger, stronger and more attractive man myself.” His eyes closed when he took another drink from his cup, but he seemed to slow down a little. ‘Maybe he needed the alcohol to loosen himself up enough to tell me,’ Jyushiro thought as he placed his hand upon the younger man’s shoulder.
He smiled sadly as Byakuya turned to him. “I see that you do understand, Byakuya-kun. Thank you for sharing that with me.”
“I shared it with you so you’d know that you’re not alone with your pain.”
“And I really appreciate it.” The small grin remained on his face as they fell silent, the sixth captain finishing off the sakè while Jyushiro simply stared at the bar. For some reason, the pain seemed easier to deal with, now that he knew he wasn’t the only one hurting. It was obvious to him that the younger man beside him was the one who was feeling lonely with the burden of having somebody leave him.
It was several minutes before Byakuya spoke again. “It’s getting late,” he said gently, standing and paying for the rice wine. “I think it’s time we depart.”
“Sounds like a good idea,” the thirteenth captain agreed around a sigh, also getting up from the stool he had been perched in. The second his feet hit the ground, Jyushiro’s vision spun wildly and his mind felt as if it was tossing and turning within his skull. He knew he should have hit the floor and was a little curious for a moment as to why he wasn’t gazing up at the ceiling when he could feel warm arms wrapped around him.
Finally able to focus his eyes, the older man looked up at the Kuchiki, whose expression was full of worry as he adjusted their position and looped one of Ukitake’s arms around his neck and wrapped one of his own arms around the white-haired captain’s waist. “I think you drank too much,” Byakuya commented softly, slowly leaving the bar.
Jyushiro leaned most of his weight against the warm, welcome body pressed along his own while trying to make his feet move in the appropriate order. “You may be right, Byakuya-kun,” he agreed again, a smile curling his lips, although he wasn’t really sure what he was smiling about.
A light scowl touched the sixth captain’s face; what was he supposed to do now? The older man lived a ways away from their current position and a small part of him worried about leaving him alone when in this condition. The only option his keen mind came to was to take his sempai to the Kuchiki Manor, which was much closer, and have him stay there for the night.
With the decision made, the younger man changed directions, going down an alley to connect with the main road that would take them straight to the large estate. The trip, for the most part, was uneventful… thankfully. They did not encounter any other shinigami they knew or other captains, to which the Kuchiki was very grateful. He really did not want to have to explain why the sickly Ukitake-taicho was drunk and the reasoning behind them going to the Kuchiki Manor. The sixth captain wasn’t completely sober himself, and he feared any confrontation with anybody might end up being a little more truthful than he wanted.
They were just a turn away from the main gates when the older man tripped, almost falling flat on his nose had the dark-haired captain not grabbed the other’s waist. Byakuya pressed Ukitake’s body flush against his own, making sure he could regain his balance, but his eyes widened slightly as they were engulfed by a pair of deep auburn orbs.
He swallowed thickly at the way the older man stared into him, as if he could read everything by merely gazing into his light blue eyes. Kuchiki felt a little bit uncomfortable at the intrusion but tried to hold his ground by placing a soft glare upon his face; his eyes icing over to try and deter the other captain.
Byakuya was a bit surprised when a smile touched Ukitake’s lips.
“Byakuya-kun,” Jyushiro whispered gently, an unsuspected tremor rippling down the younger man’s spine as warm breath tickled his skin. He hadn’t realized just how close their faces were….
The sixth captain could feel heat fill his cheeks as the older man placed both of his warm hands upon Byakuya’s broad shoulders, taking another half step toward him and pressing their bodies even harder together. Hot pockets of air, smelling heavily of sakè, were breathed along his cheek as the white-haired captain continued to look into his pale blue eyes.
“Byakuya-kun,” Jyushiro repeated a little louder, brown orbs looking for a response.
Kuchiki had to swallow a couple times before he could get his voice to work properly… and even then it betrayed him. “Y-yes, Ukitake-san?” He mentally berated himself for the stuttering and was embarrassed that his tone almost sounded like a hopeful fan girl who had been asked something by the man she’d been fallowing around for months.
Ukitake’s smile widened just a fraction as he tilted his head a bit to the side. “Aren’t you going to kiss me, Byakuya-kun?”
A/N: Thank you so much for reading! I’m really glad you’re enjoying this! Sorry the chapters are kind of short, but I’m in college so any free time I do have usually deals with homework, so when I write, the increments are much shorter than I’d like. -_- BUT if I don’t post the shorter stuff, it might take forever for another update (as what is happening with my other stories). I’d really appreciate a review and/or a rating to let me know how I’m doing!! Luvs luvs! -Prpl Grl
Review Responses:
FieldsofHeather: Was this fast enough for you? :P
Yakumo: Here’s s’more with more on the way!
Anise: I’m glad you like the idea of Ukitake/Byakuya because in all honesty I wasn’t even sure in the beginning if I was going to have them get together, just have each other for support. As for the Histuguya/Shunsui… eh, I thought it was funny. Everyone’s always making fun of Toshiro because of his age, so I figured, “What would happen when he turns eighteen?” and this is what came of it. I hope I’ve kept your interest with this chapter!
Midnight Essence: I must say thank you for seeing the humor in the Toshiro/Shunsui pairing; I was trying to get a laugh out of people. And I hope this chapter answers your question. ^.^
Thank you to all who reviewed; I luv you!!
