7 July: Bleach (Byakuya/Renji)

Title: Uncomfortable
Author: Asiel
Rating: Pleasantly sugary
Prompt: 7 July: 3. Bleach, Byakuya/Renji: Aristocracy, "No one here can say a word"
Warnings: Probably a little sappy...

Renji had always felt awkward when the others started taking about ranks and titles. He was reminded of where he had come from, of how most of the captains were of aristocratic families, and most other seated officers as well. The only place he really felt comfortable was back with the Elventh.

He felt it even more when Rukia would come back from Kuchiki family affairs, her hair and face done up, formal kimono worth more than two months worth of pay. She'd talk about the party and how beautiful all the nobles looked, and Renji would look at his own clothes, his bright red hair and tatoos...and he'd feel like yesterday's leftovers.

He felt it the worst, however, when his lover finally gave in to his family's demands and insisted he come to the next event. After days of indecision over what to wear, Rukia gave him a box with the perfect clothes inside. When he asked how much, she just shook her head, saying it was a gift.

Sitting next to Byakuya, listening to the small talk, full of double and hidden meanings, Renji felt as if they were laughing at him. He could hear the whispers of 'another commoner' and 'bad breeding'.

A hand on his knee made him look up, surprised. With a small smile, Byakuya leaned over, voice not traveling farther than his ear.

"When you're here with me, no one can say a word. You're mine here and here, I make the rules."

Renji couldn't stop smirking the rest of the night.

Eee, I remember reading this when it was still on paper. -giggles- So cute. Nervous Renji, doesn't like the nobles, the snooty bastards. D:

Renji thinks nobles are srz bizness.

squee!! I love nervous Renji. I don't know why, but I do. Really I do..

Sticks Renji into more awkward situations, with lots of snobby people

Nervous Renji makes me smile. Like Gin. And I'm sad that there is no text emote that is good enough to describe Gin's smile. D:

Bwahaha. Socially torturing Renji just seems like a fun thing to do. Monkeyboy that he is.

Dude, that'd be awesome. I think you need to invent one. Now. Yusplz.

Yes. Watch him squirm. Then watch Byakuya bend him over the banquet table... mmmm...

It's kind of like. ^_^ But not really. xD It's like. If you could mix >) with ^_^ but keep it... sinister? I may have to go ascii on this one. D:

Oooh, yeah... have him over the table, only a half an hour before the banquet starts and then stop -- make Renji wait through the event, squirming and hiding his raging boner...

...-evil-

You love nervous Renji because he is adorkable. ;p/♥ I can't remember if this is one you read to us or one I read myself when I poked through your notebook - but either way, it is lovely to read again. I love the confidence that ownership gives the owned in the last two lines, yis.

I don't remember either. But it makes me all warm and fuzzy to have you say that.

And y'know, I didn't look at it that way, really, but I think that it's an easier concept for Renji and Byakuya both to understand. I think that if someone tried to stick the two of them in a conventional relationship, it wouldn't work.

Nervous Renji is hot because he's got all tension building up... which he'll relieve as sexual tension with beautiful Bya later. YUM,

[asieluniversity.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And yes. Nervous Renji does have a lot of tension. Let's just hope that Byakuya's up for all of it..

I love this insight into Renji's POV. Plus, what Byakuya said was very hot ^___^

*grin* thank you. These two are just too much fun to write.
