Like We Used To (Bazz B - Bleach Fanfiction)

Chapter 15 : Found Out

Bazz B took note of her appearance once more. Her brown hair was a bit of a mess, but kept in a low bun, wearing one of his oversized shirts that largely covered her ass. He'd neglected to put a shirt on, his scar ridden torso exposed. Rin had sheltered a healthy curiosity when it came to asking about their origin – the large one, two or three shades darker than his skin, a darker, horizontal one at the top of the largest one, and the two more faints ones on his wrists – but she felt it rude, and kept quiet.

Though it was difficult not to ask if only to start a conversation with her boyfriend, especially about the necklace on his neck which he had changed from a ring and to a weird looking star. She turned to leave the kitchen, but Bazz B took hold of the bottom of her shirt, gently puling her back to his front, to stare her down, apparently.

Rin scratched her head, and thought to say something, but nothing immediately came to mind. He reached up and held her chin with his thumb and index finger, and pressed his lips to hers once more. Truly, she wanted him to do all of it to her again. And again, and again, and again, until she could barely move. But she couldn't ask. It wasn't even supposed to happen.

"Do you want me to leave?" Rin asked, voice soft

"I don't want you to. Not for a while" Bazz B returned, leaning back and releasing her. He swung his feet a bit and continued "Unless if you want to, tell me and I'll let you go" He teased, the corner of his mouth upturned.

Rin smiled a little at him as she slipped away from him. Bazz B kept his amused expression, one that faded slowly once she was out of sight. Rin was quick to get herself ready for work, having dressed herself in her spare clothing that she had brought together with her from home, she walked out to the living room, looking at her boyfriend who was still seated at the stool next to the kitchen aisle "Is that what you do every morning? It kinda explains why you're late if you're just going to sit there and day dream"

Bazz B smirked at her as he inched himself off the stool "Only when you're here" He walked into the hallway, the door to his room shutting lightly behind of him as Rin checked her phone. Karl had left twenty three voice messages for her because she hadn't been home for the entire night. She hadn't told him where she was going to spend the night at because she couldn't think of a lie to tell him, and figured that maybe she'll just tell him when she get home tonight.

She turned her phone off again, slipping it back inside of her sling bag as Bazz B came out from his room, dressed in his usual clothing, but today , instead of a long sleeved white shirt, he wore a black tee shirt with his white jacket draped over his shoulder. The star necklace hung at the side of the chains which he kept clipped to his pants.

She grinned at him "I remembered you saying you'll be shy if I keep calling you sexy"

He bit the inside of his cheeks out of habit, tilting his head to the side "It's better than you calling me a rooster" He fixed his Mohawk before they left the apartment, hand in hand.

They had made a stop at starbucks to grab themselves a cup of coffee and muffins, despite Bazz B saying that he doesn't eat muffins because they taste sweet, it didn't help when Rin kissed him, the sweet taste from the muffins stuck to her mouth as they kissed. It ended with Rin sharing her muffins together with him, their hands entwined together as they walked to the auto repair shop.

"No! I like it more when you – " She broke off, her eyes landing on the black convertible in front of the auto repair shop and the man who stood next to it, dressed smartly in a black suit as his eyes narrowed at the sight of the both of them holding hands.

Rin's mouth opened, wanting to say something but she quickly released Bazz B's hand, letting her hand drop free as she looked at her brother "Karl – it's nothing between the both of us" But there was no lying or denying it anymore as Karl calmly told Rin to get into the auto repair shop and leave both men. She looked at Bazz B who had his gaze diverted somewhere else "O – okay" The tension between of the both of them were undeniable as she entered the auto repair shop

Karl spared no time as he approached Bazz B, grabbing him by the collar and demanding to know why he was messing together with Rin "I don't know what game you are playing at, Black but stay the fuck away from her"

Bazz B didn't need the cop to tell him that the both of them weren't meant to be. But he was willing to steer himself out of trouble for her, opting to lead a normal life so that he could love her despite what anyone said "How can I stay away when she willingly fucks me every night"

Karl lost it as he slammed Bazz B onto the wall behind, his blue eyes flaring "I'm warning you, Bazzard Black. Stay the fuck away from my sister. She doesn't belong in your world and you don't belong in her world"

The man with the Mohawk snorted, hands still placed casually in his pockets "I'm sorry, detective. But I think you're not listening to what I'm saying. She's the one who throws herself at me, what's so wrong about me giving her what she so badly wants?"

"I'm not playing with you" He released his hold on him only to turn back and punch him right in the jaw. Bazz B stumbled a little as he swallowed, he was trying to keep himself from pummeling the cop, it wasn't because he was afraid of his status but he didn't want to because he knew if he was to raise his fists at him, Rin wouldn't like it as much as he would.

Bazz B didn't say anything but Karl could see that he was just as angry "Come on, aren't you high and mighty? Isn't that how you killed your own men? Come punch me, show me, show Rin, who you really are"

He was trying to intimidate him, to steer him on but he bit his inner cheek as he turned on his heels, hands buried deep in his pockets as he walked away from the auto repair shop. Rin could feel the tears stinging her eyes as she took a quick step back from the gates. She ran back into the auto repair shop, hiding herself inside of her office.

Karl knocked softly on her office door, turning the door knob when he realized that it was unlocked. Rin's eyes slowly met his, she blinked back the tears, "What happened?" She tried to act like it was nothing, like she hadn't been eavesdropping on their conversation, like she doesn't know a single thing that had happened between of the both of them

Karl hesitated for a moment as he closed his eyes "I don't know how to get this out to you, Rin, without sounding like a total jerk but – stay away from him. He's not the person that you think he is, he'll hurt y – "

Rin was quick to cut him off "You don't have to say that, Karl. I – I understand. I'll keep my distance from him"

It was quite shocking to Karl as she agreed on it without even protesting about it. She didn't have a reason too. Bazz B had walked out from her without fighting over Karl and there was no reason for her to fight for someone who just simply decides to walk away without even trying.
