It wasn’t that you didn’t like Renji’s idea of going public.
It was just more fun this way.
You liked keeping him on edge. Watching him try to keep his composure in formal functions, squad meetings, sparring drills—jaw tight, brow furrowed like some stoic lieutenant, while you sat there across from him like temptation incarnate.
He’d begged before. More than once.
“I want people to know you’re mine,” he’d muttered into your hair once, after a long night together. “I wanna hold your hand in public. Take you out. Show you off.”
And maybe, one day, you’d let him.
But not today.
Because today, you were sitting across from him in a dull, two-hour strategy meeting, and he was doing that thing he did when he was bored—tapping his fingers against the table. Restless. Distracted.
You watched his hands for a while—long, rough, scarred. Hands that had held you against the wall with your legs wrapped around his waist. Hands that had unwrapped you like a present and worshipped every inch. Hands that could break a man’s nose—or make you cum with just two fingers and a well-timed kiss.
You swallowed.
Then your gaze drifted to his mouth.
Pink. Plush. Slightly parted in thought. He hadn’t shaved this morning—there was a hint of stubble along his jaw, the kind that burned deliciously when he kissed down your thighs. You wondered if he’d scratch you up a little next time. You hoped he would.
You shifted in your seat and caught his eye.
You smiled.
Renji blinked. Tensed. Looked away.
Oh yeah, you were going to ruin him.
You liked pushing his buttons. Liked testing his restraint. Maybe it was the way he tried to act so serious all the time, tried to walk the line between lieutenant and lover—but you knew how easy it was to unravel him.
All you had to do was look.
And maybe tilt your head a certain way.
You crossed your legs. Let the fabric of your uniform shift open just a little. Then, under the guise of scribbling a note, you leaned forward—deliberately—just enough to flash the swell of your breasts.
Renji’s eyes flicked down—and then snapped right back up, face flushing crimson.
You twirled your pen between your fingers, dragged it lightly across your collarbone, and pulled your neckline open just a little more. The faintest peek of your bra. A teasing shimmer of skin.
Renji’s eyes dropped immediately.
His throat bobbed.
He was trying so hard not to react.
Which, frankly, made it all the more satisfying.
You reached for your notepad again, this time leaning in further, pretending to jot something down while giving him a full view straight down your shirt. His eyes dropped before he could stop them. His jaw tightened.
And then, like clockwork, his brow furrowed into that ‘stop it’ look that never really stopped you.
You smiled sweetly.
He blinked hard, lips parting. Then, as if he remembered where he was, he furrowed his brow and turned away, his jaw clenched.
You bit the inside of your cheek, suppressing a grin.
Oh, he was going to kill you later.
–-
Renji shifted in his seat, jaw tight, eyes fixed straight ahead like he was hanging onto his dignity by a thread.
You were doing it again.
Leaning forward like that. That little tilt of your head, the way your uniform slipped just enough to make him forget what day it was. He could see the top of your bra. White. Lace. Probably the same one you wore the last time you begged for his mouth between your thighs.
He bit the inside of his cheek.
Focus. Fucking focus.
Someone was speaking—Yamamoto maybe. Numbers, assignments, protocol. Renji barely registered any of it. Not with your only goal was to ruin him completely. And gods, it was working. You were watching him now, too—eyes wide and innocent, like you didn’t know exactly what you were doing to him.
His cock twitched in his pants.
He forced his hands to stay flat on the table. Forced his face neutral.
Don’t react. Don’t fucking react. You’re a lieutenant, for fuck’s sake—not some lovesick idiot with a hard-on and no self-control.
--
The meeting dragged on. Your foot slipped from its sandal and slowly crept under the table.
Renji didn’t notice at first. Not until your toes brushed the side of his calf.
He flinched. Sat up straighter.
You kept going. Teasing up his leg, inch by inch. Slow. Featherlight.
His thigh tensed under your foot, and you swore you saw his hand twitch toward his lap before he stopped himself. His whole leg tensed.
You felt it then—the heat, the weight of his arousal pressing beneath his hakama.
A thrill shot through you.
You pressed your toes against it, slow and deliberate, rubbing just enough to make his breath hitch.
You didn’t break eye contact.
You held it. Daring him.
His nostrils flared. His hand clenched the table. You could almost hear the internal screaming behind his eyes.
Then—
“…Renji?”
Yamamoto’s voice sliced through the room.
He jolted upright, clearing his throat. “I—I’m sorry, Captain. Could you repeat the question?”
There was a beat of silence. Then Yamamoto moved on.
You withdrew your foot, biting back a giggle into your hand. Across the table, Renji shot you a look so sharp it could’ve split steel.
You’d pay for that later. You hoped.
Because here’s the truth of it:
You and Renji had been all over each other for weeks—months, really. Every stolen moment, every locked door, every early morning training session that turned into an excuse to pin you to the mats. It was more than just sex. More than sneaking around.
You got along too well. Laughed too much. Held on too long after the fucking ended.
You knew he was all in.
And if you were honest with yourself—you were too.
But where was the fun in letting him know that just yet?
The moment the meeting ended, you barely made it two steps down the hallway before a strong hand wrapped around your wrist.
“Hey.”
You barely had time to react before Renji tugged you into an empty side corridor, ducking behind a paper screen. His grip was firm but careful, like he was trying not to grab you. His eyes were wild. Wide and dark and pissed.
“You can’t do that,” he hissed, voice low, strained. “You’re gonna get me in trouble—or worse! Do you want me to die from a damn aneurysm?!”
You tilted your head, playing innocent. “From what?”
He gave you a look. “You know what.”
You leaned in—just close enough for your breath to brush his neck, for him to feel your smile. “Are you mad at me?”
“I—!” His mouth opened. Then closed. He swallowed hard. His voice came out rough. “I’m trying to be.”
“Mmm.” You trailed your fingers up the center of his chest, dragging slow over the edge of his uniform. “Guess I’ll have to try harder next time.”
“Don’t tempt me, babe.” he muttered. “You’re always torturing me.”
You hummed. “I’m sorry, Renji,” you whispered, lips brushing the shell of his ear. “I can’t help it. I’m just so… needy.”
His breath hitched.
Your hand slid lower. Lower. Dragging over muscle, down the ridges of his abs, to the waistband of his hakama. You looked up at him through your lashes.
“I think about you all the time,” you murmured. “Every time I walk past you in the barracks. Every time I watch you spar. I get so wet just looking at you.”
He let out a sound—deep, broken. “Shit.”
You lifted one leg and wrapped it around his thigh, grinding your hips forward. He caught you instantly, hands flying to your waist. You could feel the strength in his arms—the restraint it took to just hold you instead of pinning you to the wall.
“Baby—” he warned.
You started to grind against his thigh.
Soft fabric, hard muscle. Just the right amount of friction. You let out a low whine and buried your face in his neck, rolling your hips again, slower this time.
Just to feel it more. Just to tease him with it.
“Don’t stop me,” you whispered.
His hands tightened.
“God, the things you do to me,” he choked out.
Your slickness soaked into the fabric of his hakama. You didn’t care.
“Tell me,” he groaned, voice shaking. “Tell me more.”
“You’re so strong,” you whimpered. “So sweet. I love your stupid hair, the way you talk in your sleep and the way you always hold me like you’re scared I’ll disappear.”
He swore under his breath, forehead pressed to yours, eyes squeezed shut like he couldn’t stand how much he wanted you.
You ground down harder. His thigh flexed beneath you, angled just so—just the way he knew you liked it.
“Cum for me,” he whispered, forehead pressed to yours. “Right here, baby. I’ve got you.”
And you did.
Your body went tight, your breath caught—and then you shattered.
Head tipping back, mouth parting on a gasp, clinging to him like a lifeline as your orgasm pulsed through you—wet and shaking and hot. Your thighs trembled around his, hips twitching, your slick soaking into the front of his hakama.
But Renji was already there.
He kissed you.
Hard. Urgent. Devastating.
A deep, open-mouthed kiss that muffled the sound you couldn’t stop—the whimper that tore out of your throat, the soft cry he knew you couldn’t hold back.
You whimpered into his mouth, body jerking, arms wrapping tight around his neck as your release wracked through you.
He groaned softly against your lips, kissing you through it, swallowing every breath, every noise. Like he needed it. Like he lived for the way you came undone in his arms.
When your body finally stilled—trembling, raw, still pressed tight to his thigh—Renji didn’t let go.
He kissed your cheek. Your jaw. The tip of your nose. The curve of your temple.
Then, he didn’t say a word. Just lifted you like you weighed nothing—your thighs pressed to his sides, your arms looped around his neck—and carried you out of the hallway. His grip was strong, urgent, like he was barely keeping himself together. You could feel his heart hammering through his chest, the way his jaw clenched when your hips shifted against his abs.
By the time he kicked the door shut behind you and set you down on his futon, your breath was already coming fast.
He hovered over you, eyes dark. “Clothes. Off. Now.”
You stripped under his gaze, heat flushing every inch of your skin.
Renji stood still, eyes raking over your body like he couldn’t decide where to start. His chest rose and fell, the black tattoos that curled across his torso stretching with every breath. You could see the restraint in his hands—the way he balled them into fists at his sides, like if he touched you too soon, he might break.
“God, you’re perfect,” he muttered, finally moving. “You drive me fuckin’ insane.”
His mouth crashed into yours.
All tongue and teeth, lips bruising, breath hot. You clung to his shoulders, fingers dragging over muscle. He groaned into your mouth when your nails scraped down his back.
He lowered you onto the futon, palms roaming your curves like he was trying to memorize them. He kissed down your throat, over your chest, sucking one nipple into his mouth and biting gently. Your breath hitched. Your thighs shifted restlessly.
“You’re already wet, huh?” he murmured, lips ghosting over your stomach. “Always such a needy little brat for me.”
You whimpered as his fingers brushed through your folds—slick and hot—and then sank inside without resistance.
“Fuck,” he breathed. “You’re soaked.”
Two fingers, thick and unrelenting, curled up exactly where you needed them. He knew your body like a map now. You spread your legs wider, lifting your hips up for more.
“Renji—!”
Your voice broke as his mouth found your clit. He licked slow, deep, lazy circles, matching the rhythm of his fingers. When you clenched around him, he groaned into your cunt like he loved it—like he wanted to live between your thighs.
Your orgasm hit suddenly, knocking the breath out of you.
You sobbed, clutching the sheets, back arching off the futon as pleasure tore through you. Your vision blurred. Your body shook.
He didn’t stop.
“Gimme another,” he rasped, voice raw against your thigh. “C’mon, sweetheart. I know you got more for me.”
He kept going—fingers never slowing, tongue relentless. It was too much, too intense, and exactly what you needed. The second orgasm hit harder. You choked on his name as your body locked up, cunt pulsing around his fingers, thighs squeezing around his head.
Only then did he ease up, mouth slick, cheeks flushed.
“You good?” he murmured, pressing a kiss to your hip. “Still with me?”
You nodded, breathless.
“Good girl.”
You were panting, trembling, barely recovered when he flipped you over.
One big hand spread between your shoulder blades, gently easing you down. The other ran down your spine to cup your ass. Then you felt the head of his cock nudging at your entrance.
“Ready?” he asked, voice rough.
You nodded, breathless.
And he pushed in.
Slow. Deep. Stretching you open in the best way.
You moaned into the futon, clutching the sheets.
“Fuck,” he hissed, bottoming out. “So tight. Feels like you were made for me.”
He moved slowly at first—deep, controlled thrusts, dragging himself almost all the way out before sliding back in. Each stroke sent a jolt through your body, heat curling in your belly. The sound of skin slapping skin, soft and rhythmic, filled the small room. You rocked back against him, greedy for more.
When his hand slipped beneath you to rub your clit, you whimpered.
“You gonna give me one more?” he whispered in your ear, voice full of heat and praise. “C’mon, baby. Let me feel you fall apart again.”
You did.
Hard.
Your orgasm hit fast and hard—your body locking, eyes fluttering shut, walls clenching around him so tight he cursed. You buried your face into the futon to muffle the cry, fists twisted in the sheets.
He groaned behind you, thrusts growing erratic, desperate.
“Shit—fuck—baby—”
You felt him twitch, heard his breath catch—and then he groaned your name and spilled inside, hips pressed tight against yours as he filled you with warmth.
He stayed there—chest pressed to your back, breath heavy on your shoulder, hands gentle on your waist like he couldn’t let go just yet.
He kissed your shoulder. Then your neck. Then your cheek.
“You’re gonna be the death of me,” he mumbled against your skin, smiling faintly. “But fuck, what a way to go.”
Later, you were curled up in his bed, warm and bare beneath the sheets, your body molded against his side like you’d always belonged there. The room smelled like sweat and sex and faint sandalwood, and the air had that thick, golden quiet that only came after something intense.
Your fingers traced slow, lazy circles across his chest—over the ridges of muscle, the dark ink that stretched and flexed with every breath. You followed one of the lines from his collarbone down toward his ribs, watching it ripple slightly under your touch.
His hair was loose. A mess of red silk across his pillow, half-draped over his cheek, the rest tangled across your shoulder. You tucked a piece behind his ear, gentle.
“Still mad at me?” you asked, your voice soft and sleepy, lips brushing his skin.
He made a low sound in his throat—something between a grunt and a sigh. “No,” he murmured. “How can I ever be?”
You smiled and pressed a kiss to his shoulder. “Promise?”
He chuckled, the sound a low rumble against your cheek. “Promise.”
The quiet settled in again, soft and heavy. You could feel his heartbeat under your palm. Strong. Steady. A little fast.
Then—
“…Will you?”
You blinked. Lifted your head slightly. “Will I what?”
He swallowed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling for a second like he needed to rehearse it—but then he turned, meeting your eyes.
“Be my girlfriend,” he said quietly. “Be mine. For real this time. No more sneaking around.”
There was no teasing in his voice. No cocky smirk. Just… honesty. The kind that made your chest ache.
“I want people to know,” he added, almost shyly. “I want them to see us. I want them to see you with me.”
You stared at him.
Really stared.
The way his brow creased slightly. The way his mouth twitched, trying not to fidget. The faint flush coloring his cheekbones, like he wasn’t sure if he’d just ruined the mood. Like maybe you’d laugh.
But you didn’t.
You laid your hand flat over his heart, feeling the thump beneath your skin, and let yourself look at him the way you always wanted to. With nothing held back.
Renji Abarai—messy hair, loud voice, rough hands, and the gentlest fucking heart.
He’d been yours for a while now. Even when you were teasing him. Even when you weren’t ready to name it. You’d never doubted him.
Not for a second.
You loved him.
Even when he was a mess. Especially when he was.
“…I’ll think about it,” you said, just to mess with him one last time.
He groaned like you’d stabbed him in the chest and flopped dramatically back onto the pillow, arm over his face. “You’re gonna be the death of me, I swear.”
You giggled. Couldn’t help it.
Then you crawled over him, bare legs straddling his hips, your hair falling around his face like a curtain as you leaned down and kissed the corner of his mouth.
“I’m yours, Renji,” you whispered. “It’s always been just you.”
He stilled under you.
The quiet stretched, full of something thick and unspeakable.
“Yeah?” he said, barely audible.
You nodded, suddenly shy. Looked down at your hand resting over his heart again.
Then, softer, with a breathless honesty that surprised even you: “I love you.”
He didn’t move.
Didn’t blink.
His eyes searched yours—wide, stunned, full of something raw.
Your chest fluttered. Panic spiked. “What…what about you?” you asked, voice small. “Do you…do you like me too?”
That was all it took.
He sat up so fast it made you gasp, arms wrapping around your waist as he pulled you into his lap like it was instinct, like it was the only thing his body knew how to do.
His hands were warm and big on your back. His forehead pressed to yours.
“Like you?” he rasped, voice hoarse and thick. “I fucking love you. Of course I do. I’ve been dreaming of this—of you—since the first goddamn time I saw you.”
You felt your throat close up.
You kissed him.
And this time, it wasn’t soft. It was hungry.
You pulled him down with you, tangled fingers in his hair, lips crashing against his like you could pour every ounce of love and lust you’d ever held back straight into his mouth. He groaned, low and reverent, hands dragging down your sides to grip your hips like he couldn’t believe you were real.
When you broke apart, panting, his mouth was swollen. His pupils blown wide. His chest rose hard and fast beneath yours.
“Say it again,” he whispered, voice raw. “Please, baby. Say it again.”
You smiled, breathless and dazed. “I love you.”
And the sound he made—deep, wrecked, possessive—went straight to your core.
“I’ve got you,” he growled, pressing you into the futon with his body. “You’re mine now.”
You nodded, moaning as his hips rutted lazily against yours, the heat between you sparking back to life.
“Yeah,” you gasped. “I’m yours.”
He kissed you again, slower now—like he finally had permission to take his time. His tongue curled against yours, teeth grazing your lip, hands never still. He slid one palm beneath your thigh, lifting it higher as his hips rolled against yours, lazy but thick with intent.
“You say that,” he murmured against your mouth, “but you don’t even know what that means yet.”
You whimpered. “Then show me.”
He groaned—broken, filthy—and shifted to thrust back inside you in one slow, claiming stroke. Your breath caught; your nails dug into his tattooed shoulders.
This time, he didn’t fuck you like he was proving a point.
He fucked you like he was in love with you.
Deep and slow. Possessive. Worshipful. Like he wanted to make sure you felt it in your cervix and your soul. Like every thrust said mine, and every kiss said stay.
You came again with your face buried in his throat, breath hitching, arms wrapped tight around his neck. And he followed, moaning your name like a promise, like a prayer, like he’d never say anything else again.
Afterward, he held you close—sweaty, shaking, grinning into your neck.
“You’ve got me,” he breathed, kissing your collarbone. “Wrapped around your fuckin’ finger.”
You laughed, light and tired, threading your fingers through his hair. “Good.”
He shifted enough to see your face, brushing sweat-damp strands from your cheek. His eyes were soft, lips kiss-bruised and parted.
“I mean it,” he said. “You’re not gettin’ rid of me now.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it.”
And when he pulled you into his chest and whispered it again—I love you—you whispered it back without hesitation.
Because you meant it.
Fiercely. Fully. Finally.
— End
