      "Argghh!!! Why da ya always hafta argue with me? Why da ya always hafta disagree with me? That's it. I ain't tanking no more o this shit." Renji stormed off, throwing the umbrella onto the concrete sidewalk.

     Ichigo watched as Renji took off. He wanted to chase after him and explain everything, but his feet wouldn't move. He wanted to yell back at him, but all he could do was close and open his mouth. He wanted to reach out and grab Renji, hug him. But his whole body was paralyzed, with shock, with regret and frustration.

     So he just stood there. Letting the rain soak his body cold. He didn't know how long he just stood there, cold, wet and confused. He felt burning tears sting the edges of his eyes. He didn't try to stop them. He just let them roll down his face.

     The scene where Renji left him replayed in his head over and over again, like a CD that couldn’t skip over a part. But the world kept on moving. Not stopping for anyone. His world may have stopped, but everyone else's was moving on.

     He wondered, if one day he could move on like that.

     He felt weak. His legs wobbled and collapsed from under him. He buried his face into his hands. What did I do wrong? He wondered.

     Suddenly, the rain stopped. It didn't slowly diminish, like it normally should. It just went away. Surprised he looked up, only to be greeted with a kiss. Renji... He sighed. Guess he changed his mind. Ichigo was so relieved. He felt himself smile into the kiss.

     When they finally pulled apart, Renji grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard. "Ow! What was that for?" "A lot of things," Renji replied simply. "One, for letting me run off like that. Two, for letting yourself get soaked in the rain like this. Three, for crying." Renji hugged him close, keeping him warm. He brushed the tears away from Ichigo's eyes.

     Ichigo felt his world finally move on from that scene. Everything was normal again. Maybe, in the future, he would leave Renji. But for now, while his world was still intertwined with Renji's, he would live his life up to his fullest potential. Ichigo thought that over while tipping his head up at Renji. Kissing him again with a happier sigh.

First Story!!!!

A short story on Ichigo and Renji's first kiss

Title: Gingerbread Kisses
Characters: IchigoxRenji
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Ichigo likes the scent of gingerbread...a lot 

                                                                                          <.><.><.><.><.><.><.><.><.>

     Ichigo looked at Renji, who was busy munching on gingerbread left over from Christmas. He was surprised that it wasn't stale yet. 

     Ichigo watched as the red head ate. He leaned over and asked "Whatcha doing?" the chewing abruptly stopped as he looked Ichigo over with great curiosity. "A'n when didja start becom'n concerned for wat I ate?" He raised an eyebrow. Ichigo widened his eyes and shook his head. "I... uh...I was just asking if you tasted anything stale in those cookies, I mean they were left there for a long ti...." 

     Ichigo was cut short when Renji stuffed a brown cookie in his mouth and clamped it shut. "If ya wanted a cookie ya could've just asked." Renji grinned. The strong sent of cinnamon wafted to his nose. It was mixed with Renji's unique scent of peppermint and chocolate mixed together. 

     He closed his eyes and leaned his head forward for another sniff as he swallowed the gingerbread. This time, the scent was extremely close. He felt strands of hair touch his cheek. He felt warmth on his lips that made him gasp. A strong hand grabbed his upper arm, and another one tugged at his shirt, pulling him towards the tattooed boy. 

     Ichigo admitted that in his whole entire life, with the exception of his family and relatives, he had never been kissed before. Anyways, this kiss was different. He felt a wet tongue slide across his bottom lip. Ichigo sighed, and using that opportunity, Renji slid his tongue into the orange haired shinigami's mouth. 

     They stayed like that for a while, tongues in different mouths. When they finally pulled apart, Ichigo was grinning like a maniac. Renji took another cookie from the platter they pushed aside and offered it to Ichigo. And they spent the whole evening sharing almost-stale-gingerbread cookies with each other.
