Beep Beep Beep. Renji pried open his eyes at the sound of his alarm clock going off. He let out a slight groan before sitting up and stretching his sore back. He looked around the room and was surprised to see that Ichigo wasn't in bed next to him. Normally Ichigo didn't get up before 10 so it was weird that he got up before Renji's seven 'o'clock alarm went off. He climbed out of bed when he heard noises coming from down the hall.

"Hey Ichigo, where are you?" he called out, as he walked towards the bathroom that they shared. He opened the door and saw his lover bent over the toilet, puking his guts up. "Are you okay, babe?" he asked, going over to Ichigo and kneeling down beside him.

"Do I look okay to you?" he snapped before throwing up again.

"Do you want me to stay home today?" he asked, trying to comfort him by rubbing his back.

"No, that's okay. I'll be fine," Ichigo assured, leaning against Renji for support and closing his eyes. "Besides, you haven't been to Soul Society in a couple days and you're the lieutenant of the sixth division. They need you more than I do." Renji held Ichigo in his arms and kissed the top of his head but a couple seconds later Ichigo was back to leaning over the toilet.

"I'll be right back," he said, getting up and walking to the kitchen. He got out a cup and filled it with water before going back to the bathroom and giving the glass to the boy who was now leaning against the wall. "I should really stay home with you today," Renji stated, feeling Ichigo's forehead for a fever.

"Byakuya will be really mad if you don't go. I'll be fine, I promise."

"Okay," he said, unsure if he should trust the teenagers promise but going and getting dressed anyway.

"I'll be home as soon as I can. If you need anything you know how to reach me," Renji said, before kissing Ichigo, who was now feeling better and was standing at the front door with him.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be perfectly fine," Ichigo muttered, wrapping his arms around the older man's neck and pulling him in for one last kiss before he left for Soul Society.

Once Renji had left Ichigo made his way into the kitchen to find something to eat for breakfast and all but set the kitchen on fire before he found something that he actually wanted to eat. 'I really need to go to the store' he thought, taking a bite of his pickle and peanut butter sandwich. 'Mm, this is pretty good' he thought taking another bite. But once he finished his sandwich he just ran to the bathroom and puked again.

When Renji got home it was about 2 in the morning and he tried to be as quiet as possible, thinking that Ichigo would be sound asleep by now, but when he opened the door he noticed that all the lights were on. He went into the kitchen and saw Ichigo throwing ingredients into the blender. He smirked as he watched the orange haired teen trying to figure out how to turn on the blender.

He snuck over to where the boy was holding the blender cup and whispered in his ear, "You might want to put the lid on before you turn it on." Surprised by the intrusion Ichigo freaked out and threw the blender at Renji, all of its contents spilling all over him.

"I'm so sorry Renji, I thought you were a robber or something," Ichigo exclaimed, grabbing some paper towels and trying to wipe some of the gunk off of his face.

"What the fuck is this!" Renji yelled, taking the paper towels and scrubbing at the nauseating concoction.

"Mustard, ice cream, horse radish, peppers, chocolate sauce, and orange juice!" Ichigo grinned, obviously proud of his creation.

"Why would you eat that?" he questioned.

"I thought it sounded pretty good…" Ichigo frowned at his infuriated lover he was now stomping to the bathroom to take a shower. He bent down, picked up the blender and began to fill it with the same odd components.
