This is the censored story. It's missing a chapter before this one. To read it, look me up on Fanfiction.net. Both I and this story are under the same names there as we are here.
Byakuya rolled out of bed, walking to the garden, still in his sleeping yukata. It was early morning, still dark outside. He wanted to watch the sun rise over his garden. However, as he drew near to his koi pond, he saw something out of the ordinary.
Renji was sitting on the ground next to the pond, with a fishing rod in his hand. Byakuya couldn't believe his eyes. The Noble's impudent lover was sitting there, catching his precious koi as though nothing were wrong.
Byakuya cleared his throat, with no reaction. Repeating the action again, louder however, also yielded no reaction. The Noble sighed, before repeating the action a third time, nearly rupturing his vocal cords in the process. This time, the red-head looked up. He took one hand off his fishing rod, to wave at the Shinigami.
"Mornin' Bya. Fish aren't biting this morning." Renji said, pouting at the end. Byakuya cleared his throat a fourth time, not as loud as the past two, however. "What's wrong? Sick? Cause the Fourth'll gladly heal ya up!" Renji continued on, uncaring of the fact that he was caught trying to fish in the Kuchiki manor's private koi pond.
Byakuya sighed, and mentally face-palmed. Renji was so oblivious to the most obvious of things that it was laughable. Walking to the edge of the pond, he sat next to his lover before saying, "Renji, this is my private koi pond."
The irate red-head shrugged, and said, "So?" Another sigh came out of the mouth of the owner of the pond. "So you are fishing in it."
Renji grinned in a shit-eating manner, before saying, "What does it look like I'm doing? Pissing in the pond? Of course I'm fishing in it!" Byakuya muttered something quickly below his breath, before responding, "You are not supposed to be fishing in this pond."
The red-head Shinigami pouted adorably, before saying, "But it's fun!" The Noble fought back the urge to roll his eyes, opting to close them instead in thought. After a moment of tense silence, with Renji on the edge of his seat in anticipation, he opened them again. "I have something in mind that will probably be much more entertaining to you than to be fishing in my koi pond."
Renji looked up at Byakuya with slight confusion in his maroon eyes. He set down the rod on the grass in front of them. Seeing this, Byakuya smiled slightly. This was going to work perfectly.
Byakuya stood, and took several steps back from the edge of the pond. "It will not do if either of us were to fall into the water." He said by way of explanation as he sat down again in his new position. Renji nodded, before copying his actions. Almost the moment that he sat down, Byakuya pulled Renji into his lap.
The Shinigami froze at being in the other man's lap. Softly chuckling, Byakuya leaned forward slightly, nibbling on the shell of Renji's ear, before saying, "Don't worry, I won't let you fall." A slight shudder was his only reply.
"Why are you up this early, Bya?" Renji asked, leaning back into the embrace. "I wanted to watch the sunrise. And since I found you out here, we might as well share the view." Byakuya replied, running his hand up and down his lover's back. "Sounds good to me." the other Shinigami commented, before turning, and catching the other's lips in a chaste kiss. He pulled back a moment later.
The darkness was starting to lighten, turning to a light purplish blue. Everything was bathed in this tone, making it all the more ethereal. Byakuya's skin seemed to glow, and Renji's hair took on a spectral tone. The slight fog on the ground had seemed to lighten up a bit, adding beauty to the scenery. The cherry blossom trees around the garden seemed to enjoy the mood as well. Their branches swayed in the wind, making slight whispery noises.
"I hope that this fog lifts before dawn." Byakuya mused, toying with Renji's braid. He had never understood why his pet insisted on braiding his hair every night before he went to sleep. More confusing still was why he was still wearing a braid, even though he seemed to have been up and about for several hours. Renji didn't comment. While he didn't care that much about such things as sunrises, the full moon (unless it brought an increased workload), and flowers, his lover did, and he didn't want to spoil the moment between them with an ill-placed remark.
"Either way, the fog does have it's own beauty." Renji said, hoping that it would be convincing enough. "That's true." Byakuya said, gently kissing the other man on the lips. Renji parted his lips slightly, snaking his tongue out to prod at the pale lips against his. They opened, granting the red-head access. Their tongues danced, fighting each other, before retreating into Renji's mouth.
Once there, the tongues swirled around, exchanging their unique flavors, eliciting moans from both men. Renji's hands found their way up, tangling in Byakuya's midnight locks. A moment later, they broke apart, panting for air. "You certainly are eager this morning." the Noble remarked in between breaths of air. Everything about him had a degree of grace that was unparalleled by any other, except maybe the angels.
The other Shinigami nodded, nuzzling into his lover's shoulder. His hands remained tangled in the dark hair. The duet resumed their companionable silence as the fog melted away slowly. The morning lightened some more. Dawn was soon to break. "I'm glad that the fog has gone." Byakuya said, tugging on Renji's braid gently, causing his head to tilt back, exposing his neck.
Renji nodded slightly, entranced as Byakuya leaned down, tasting him with the tip of his tongue. A shudder ran through the Shinigami at the light, wet touches. The light licks quickly turned into open-mouthed kisses and hickeys. Renji moaned and shuddered in his seme's grasp, until the ministrations suddenly stopped.
He looked up, confusion etched on his face, as he was pulled flush against Byakuya's chest. He let out a content sigh. "The sun is coming up." Byakuya murmured by way of explanation. And yes, there it was. At the edge of the horizon, there began to be an orangey glow.
Nearly half an hour later, the sun had finally rose. As they headed back into the manor to prepare for the day, Renji having collected his fishing rod, Byakuya stopped him. "Don't fish in my koi pond ever again." Renji only nodded, smirking to himself. If this was what he got for just sitting by the koi pond with a rod in his hand, no lure, hook, or even fishing line, then what would happen if he actually caught one of the Noble's beloved koi?
