So this is my very first fanfic story. I decided to write one with my favorite pairing. These guys are so cute together! I would appreciate comments and criticisms.

Disclaimer: The story is mine; however, the characters and setting belong to Kubo Tite, the creator of Bleach.

It was an abnormal day in the office. It was very quiet. Renji was doing his work, while Byakuya was the one slacking. Byakuya had a lot on his mind. Recently, he has been finding himself more distracted with his lieutenant. Renji had become the center of Byakuya's thoughts.

What is it that I find so interesting about my lieutenant? Could it be his fiery personality and his inability to get his work done? Or could it be his loyalty, compassion, and his natural ability to lead. Whatever it is, I need to figure out what Renji's preferences are. I wonder if he is single, or if he would even be interested in males.

Byakuya looked at the clock. It is almost lunch time. I will send Renji to pick up lunch.

"Abarai, would you mind getting lunch for us today?"

"Sure captain. Do ya have any suggestions?"

"Just pick something up that you feel I would enjoy" Hopefully now I will be able to get some work done. Renji is becoming a huge distraction.

"Okay sir, I'll be back soon.

Byakuya didn't reply back to his lieutenant. Byakuya tried to formulate a plan. How can I find out what Renji's preferences are? I will need to think of a clever way so Renji does not discover my plan. I do not want him to discover my feelings right away.

" I am back, Captain"

"Thank you, Abarai. Now continue working"

"Yes captain". Renji continued to work. He liked pleasing his captain.

Maybe I can figure out Renji's preferences after work. I could invite him to the manor.

"Renji, do you by chance happen to have any plans after work this evening?"

"No, Captain, I don't think so."

"Would you like to join me at the manor this evening?"

"Yeah, Captain. But why?"

"I would like to improve our relationship outside of work. Believe that if we have a good relationship outside of our work, it will strengthen our bond at work and on the battlefield."

"Alright, Captain. That sounds good. Would it be okay if I went home after work to change, then went to your place?"

"That will be fine, Abarai. Now let us continue to work."

As the work day began to come to an end, Byakuya found himself becoming nervous. He was not sure if his plan was going to work. He knew he had to give it a try.

When Byakuya arrived home, he changed his clothes and began to prepare for Renji's visit. Once everything was in place, he sensed that Renji had arrived. Byakuya went to greet Renji at the door. When he opened the door, he almost lost his composure. Renji looked very attractive to the man. Seeing Renji in casual clothes and having his long, red hair down really pleased Byakuya.

Renji noticed that Byakuya was staring at him. He began to feel uneasy. Renji cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Thanks for inviting me over Captain. I am glad that we get the opportunity to build a friendship."

Byakuya snapped out of his trance and allowed Renji to enter his home. "You are welcome, Abarai. I am pleased that you agreed to come."

Byakuya lead Renji to the sitting room where he had glasses and sake prepared for them.

"Would you some sake, Abarai?"

"Of course I would, Captain! I didn't know that you drank."

"I don't drink very often, but I usually have drinks for guests. I figured I would have a couple of drinks tonight."

"Great! Now I'm excited!"

"I am pleased to hear that."

After a few drinks, Renji had noticed that he and Byakuya were drinking from two different bottles. "Hey Captain? Why are you drinking from that bottle, and not this bottle?"

"This is my preferred drink. If you would like, I will pour you some of it."

"No, that's okay. I was just wondering".

Byakuya felt as though his whole plan almost came apart. The bottle that he was drinking out of was non-alcoholic. He did not want to be drunk once he put his plan into place.

After a few drinks and light conversation, Byakuya began to put his plan in motion.

"Abarai, are you currently in a relationship?"

"No captain."

"Why not? You seem like the type of person women would throw themselves at."

"Haha, they do Captain. But I'm just not interested in those girls. Between you and me, I actually haven't been interested in girls in quite some time."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it's kind of embarrassing. I haven't told anyone this. I trust you though Captain. I don't think you'd tell others what I gonna tell you. Truth is, I find myself leaning towards males." Byakuya stared at Renji in shock. Renji began to feel that he had said too much. He and Byakuya had been having a good time, and now he probably freaked out his captain.

Byakuya could feel that Renji was starting to worry. He decided to ask his lieutenant more questions. "Have you ever been with someone who was male?"

"No, I haven't. I have always wanted too, though. You just don't hear a lot of men being bi or gay in the soul society."

"Do you find any men in the soul society attractive?"

"Of course I do. There are a lot of hot guys here, especial—"

Just then, the two sensed a disturbance somewhere in the soul society. They grabbed their zanpakuto's and headed toward the action.

As they left, Byakuya began to feel thrilled at his discovery. Now that he knew Renji was interested in men, he now had to figure out his type. Then it was time to make a plan to get Renji Soon enough, Byakuya would make Renji his.

A/N: Well it is done! This is supposed to be a one shot, but I could change my mind and add to it. I hope you guys liked it. Please give me some feedback with suggestions/things you enjoyed.
