[✅] Bleach: 7 Minutes in Heaven & One-Shots

(Part 2) Uncertainty {Renji Abarai}

A few seconds later and you start from your deep slumber. With your heart racing you set a pale elegant hand on your chest. The feeling of your racing heart makes a scowl form on your face.

"What the hell am I doing!?" These are neither thoughts or dreams that the head of the (Last Name) house should be having! You sigh into the darkness of the night. Your heart is racing because you're all wound up. You feel like an animal that had been locked away for too long. You lay back down as your hand slowly drifts under the blanket. You graze yourself before you allow yourself to escape into your own little world of bliss for a little bit. With your face flushed, your breathing is heavy afterwards. You begin feeling a little ashamed that you had stooped so slow but you're also feeling more alive than have since your husbands death! You lay in the dark with your arm over your face as you try to expel your dreams, and also your actions, from you mind. The light was barely breaking over the horizon of the soul society when you stand and get dressed. You check your face in the bathroom mirror and turn on your heel. Opening the sliding door of you room you quietly shut it behind you. You head out of your manor, (Last Name) manor while fixing your Zanpuktos into their homes on your hips. You slowly walk to the squad three offices while enjoying the light of the moon that is still out. You stare straight ahead of you though, lost deep in your thoughts. The expression on your face however was as blank as usual. It was Friday so your lieutenant had the day off, which he was glad about because you aren't entirely sure you could control your emotions or thoughts in front of Kira about Renji. As you enter the offices a few of the lower ranked shinijami say their good mornings and continue with their duties. As you take your seat at your desk you find your eyes lingering to on the picture of you, Renji, Ichigo, and Rukia that you have sitting on your desk. You shake you head.

"Get a hold of yourself (Name)! It was just a dream. Yeah, but it was a great dream! I haven't slept that good in years!" You feel very refreshed as you sip the tea an office boy had brought in upon your request. The tea was just normal green tea but somehow you seemed more aware of the flavor today than he ever had. It was past noon when a knock erupted in the room. You start from your work for an instance before regaining your poise.

"Enter." Your voice is bright and bubbly as usual when Renji suddenly enters the room accompanied by Ichigo Kurosaki. You had to admit to yourself that you're surprised to see Renji here on his day off. Renji bows slightly to you.

"Captain-(Name), Kira asked me to finish his paper work this morning. I hope you don't mind but I brought Ichigo along as well." Renji takes his seat without saying anything else and pulls out a file that looks half finished. Ichigo glances at Renji then at you.

"Good morning (Name)!" Ichigo gives you a gentle wave accompanied by a bright smile. You smile before waving at him with a quiet good morning. Ichigo walks over and peers down at you. You continue to write in your report while Ichigo stares at you.

"I feel really uncomfortable for some reason." You look up and raise an eyebrow at Ichigo.

"Is there something wrong with my face Ichigo?" A faint hint of a smile appears at the corner of Ichigo's mouth but it's gone in almost an instant. Ichigo laughs as he shakes his head.

"No, it's not that. You look troubled." At this Renji glances up from his work. Your heart starts to flutter at the worried expression on Renji's face.

"Are you not feeling well Tachiou?" You send a cold look in Ichigo's direction but it doesn't affect him at all.

"(Name) do you really think that glare bothers me anymore?" This comment is followed by a smirk from Ichigo and a burst of laughter from Renji. You continue to glare at Ichigo, who just smiles. Renji writes one last thing on his paper and puts it back inside of Kira's desk. He pushes his chair back and puts it back in place again.

"If you'll excuse me, I have more business to attend to." He bows his head respectfully and leaves the room, leaving silence after the soft sliding of the door being closed. Ichigo takes a seat in one of the guest chairs. He stares at you with intent eyes.

"Did you need something?" You keep your voice calm and collected but on the inside you're freaking out! Renji came in without even saying good morning and then just did Kira's work without complaint, then suddenly he leaves?! What the hell? You continue to stare down at your report, u for a moment, dab the brush in ink and begin to write again. When after a few minutes no answer comes with your question you look up. Ichigo has his brow knitted. He flashes a smile at you once more.

"Sorry, I suddenly got lost in thought." He scratches the back of his head. You sigh a little.

"I noticed." You continue to write.

"Anyway!" He practically shouts.

"I came here to see if you wanted to go out for a drink with Shunsei, Hisagi, Izuru, Ikkaku, and myself." You raise an eyebrow as if to ask how this came about. You give Ichigo a it pointed look.

"Don't give me that look. They said if I got you to come they would buy me my first round of drinks." You nod your head at Ichigo's words.

"Of course they did. I suppose I will have to join so I can watch them squirm at the fact that they have to buy you drinks." Ichigo smirks and stands up. He claps his hands together and laughs.

"Oh! Thanks, (Name). You can have some of my free drinks!" Ichigo laughs as you mentally roll your eyes.

"Oh, wait, you're too good for free drinks aren't you?" Ichigo jabs at you teasingly so you put a serious look on your face.

"You are correct Ichigo. By the way, did something seem off with Renji?" You stare at Kira's desk.

"I think I know what's up but I can't tell you." You stop the memento of the swishes of your pen. Gradually, you continue writing again.

"Alright. I understand." You look up from your work to smile at Ichigo. He has his arms crossed and his mouth is in a frown.

"What?" Ichigo shakes his head, opens his mouth then closes it again.

"What?" You ask curiously.

"Nothing. Nothing." You frown at this but know that the comment he made has no use of asking him to tell you.

"Ichigo, I have things on my mind and a lot of work to get done before I can hang out with you all tonight. So I must really get back to it." Ichigo nods as you set your current paper to the finished papers side. You sip at your now cold tea.

"Oh. Right. I'll see you later." Ichigo sits on Kira's desk top and you don't know why but you wish Ichigo wasn't sitting there. Brief images of Renji kneeling over you with you sprawled across the top of the desk with the top of his uniform off and pulled down so low that you could see the lines of where his muscles met his.... You mentally shake your head.

"(Name)? Are you even listening to me?" You start at his sudden voice.

"Hmm? Were you saying something?" Ichigo rolls his eyes at you.

"I was just saying that Renji will talk when the time comes so don't pressure it out of him." You chuckle slightly.

"I'm not that bossy." Ichigo rolls his eyes once more with a 'uh-huh, sure' expression.
