Graduation

Shinji sat at the desk in his room trying to write is speech for graduation, as class president he had to give one and so did Ichigo, with him being valedictorian, and Shinji knew he was having just as hard a time. Shinji huffed and deleted all he had written on his computer for his speech he decided he'd just call Ichigo.

"Are you having as hard a time as me?" he asked when Ichigo answered

"Yeah, I'm trying not to have my speech be like Shiro's"

"Oh yeah. 'Fuck everybody here. Except you, I don't know you but you cute.' then he grabbed his diploma and walked off stage."

"So I'm trying to make mine nice cuz I actually like my class. Stop." Ichigo said to someone else.

"Where you at?" Shinji asked suspiciously

"Home. Grimm came over to keep me company but he's being distracting." Ichigo giggled "Yeah, you are."

"Starrky asked to come over but he can't keep his hands off me so I've been ignoring him all day, he keeps calling and texting me."

"Grimmy said Starrk's pretty upset about it he was bitching when Grimm left the house."

Shinji rolled his eyes "I'll invite him over later but I'm not open to fucking in the house with my brothers home, the first time they weren't home."

"You know we should go on a double date." Ichgio suggested

"Oh yeah, cuz we can do that now."

"Shut up, Shin."

"I'm just saying."

"You are always just saying. Hey you think Renji started his speech yet?"

"Aha" Shinji laughed sarcastically "I don't know has Hell frozen over yet?"

"He's probably going to wing it."

"Or not you know he sucks at public speaking."

"Which is weird because he plays football and does end zone dances, he dances in the hallway, he sings badly, loudly but as soon as you put him in front of a bunch of people to talk he calms up."

"I know right, like that one time we had that diorama project in Chem and he stuttered through the whole thing."

"I think we should help him out."

"Me too. But how?"

"We'll figure it out."

"Come on, Renji" Byakuya said "Lets practice your speech." he was sitting on the couch in the living room trying to help Renji get over his fear of public speaking, but he was failing.

"No." Renji said sitting next to him flipping channels on the tv.

"Why not? Did you write it yet?"

"No."

"You want me to write it?"

"No."

"Are you going to give a speech?"

"No."

"You want some head?"

"N...That's not funny?"

"I'm just making sure you're listening" he laughed "Now Renji you have to practice your speech."

"No, I don't even know why they picked me to give the speech. And don't they have enough people talking? You, Ichi, Shinji, the principal they don't need me to speak too. And why couldn't my fellow classmates pick Starrk or Grimm or -fuck- Ran? Like me? Why me? Everyone knows I'm not good at public speaking. That's very selfish of them to pick me. I didn't even sign up to be a public speaker. Like what the fuck."

Byakuya tried not to laugh at Renji's rants, he's never known Renji to be afraid of anything but as his English teacher he knows Renji is terrible at public speaking. "Renji your classmates love you and you are like the school mascot. And you're practically everyone's friend. You're sweet and smart and funny, you've fucked most of your classmates anyway so about half of them have seen you naked so what's the problem with you speaking to them as a whole."

Renji pushed Byakuya playfully and then pulled him to his chest laughing. "You're not funny and I'm still not giving a speech."

"Ugh." Byakuya growled "Renji, you're killing me here. You have to give this speech."

"Why."

"Cuz I promised you would."

"And who'd you promise this to?"

"Everyone wants you to speak. Teachers, students, even the principal wants you to do it."

"Well that's too bad cuz I'm still not doing it."

"Why?"

"Because I am not a public speaker. I'm a public dancer. A public bad singer. A public football player. A public band instructor. I am NOT a public speaker. I am not good at it I have never been good at it. We have been giving presentations in school since like the fucking third grade and I have always been terrible at it. You can ask anybody and they'll tell you."

"Can't we just practice?"

"Nope."

"Renji you are graduating in 1...2..3...4...5 days" he counted on his fingers "And you know what happens when you graduate."

"I get to fuck you in public."

"That, but you will be going to college and in college there will be tons of presentations that will be a big fucking chunk of your grade. So what are you going to do? Just not do it?"

"Exactly."

"And then what?"

"Mooch off my rich boyfriend, use his money to buy a ring to propose with, use his money to pay for the wedding, use his money to go on a month long honeymoon, then come back here where we will live until I find a grey hair amongst all this red and then I divorce my rich boyfriend and take half his money so that I can continue to live in the manner at which I have come accustom to."

"And while my husband continues to mooch off me I will quit being a teacher and travel the world with the man next door and let him fuck me sideways like my husband used to do but can't cuz all he does is reminisce about his high school days and sit on my couch and even though I still love my husband I can't sit and watch him waste away on the couch and waste all my money so I blow his brains out and tell the police he killed himself because he was so depressed and cry on my next door neighbor's shoulder and let him continue to fuck the shit outta me over and over again but never marry him because my heart still belongs to my husband."

"Well that doesn't work cuz I already divorced you."

"Well it was a long divorce and you had to speak in front of people in court but you're still afraid of public speaking so you just decided to stay married to me."

"You're a clever son of bitch." Renji laughed

"That's why you married me." Byakuya laughed too

"You'd really kill me?"

"Well if all you do is throw money at stuff and don't work my Grandfather will take it away so yeah I'd kill you. I'd cry when I do it though."

"Thanks for shedding tears for me, that's how I know its real."

"True. I'm yo ride or die"

"No more rap for you." Renji kissed Byakuya's nose "Five more days and I get to do this at movie theaters and stuff."

"Not if you don't do that speech."

"Here we are, round circle. I'm still not doing it."

Starrk, Shinji, Grimmjow, and Ichigo were sitting at the kitchen table getting beat by Ichigo in uno when they all heard a knock at the front door, Starrk decided to go answer it. Starrk walked over to the door and opened it without looking through the window so he was surprised when he opened the door. Starrk looked at the two men at the door with wide eyes and then yelled.

"Griiiiimmmmm!"

Grimmjow stood up from the table and walked into the living room be stopped short. "Dad? Uncle Robert? What are you guys doing here?"

"Graduation is tomorrow right?" Grimmjow's dad, Jackson, said

"Um yeah." Starrk said

Then everyone heard glass break in the kitchen and then cursing. "What the fuck, Ichi, be careful."

"Bitch, that was you."

"How bout we talk about this outside." Starrk said walking forward "Come on, Grimm."

Grimmjow began walking out the door to talk to his father and uncle. "I'm coming."

Starrk closed the door when Grimmjow stepped outside. "So what's up?" Starrk asked

"Well first of all." Starrk's father, Robert, said "why do I have to stand outside the house I own?"

"I thought I'd be asking the questions." Starrk said

"I guess you do deserve answers." Robert said "Well Jackson and I have decided that we have been acting like real assholes and our dad was never there for us and we realized we've been acting like him."

"Excuse my french" Grimmjow said with his arms crossed "But where in the whole fuck have you been. You left Starrk here we he was like 14." he said to Robert "And you kicked me out two years ago." he said to Jackson. "Why are you manning up now?"

"Didn't he just say that, boy." Jackson said "We feel bad for being assholes to our only sons. I am sorry for saying all those things to you and kicking out and sending you away and all that other shit. I know its not enough but I'm apologizing."

"He sounds like Grimm when he apologizes." they heard Ichigo say through the open window the boys were watching out of.

"Shut up they can hear you." Shinji said

"You shut up. Ouch. Bitch, don't push me."

"Don't push me."

Starrk face palmed "Hold on." Starrk opened the door and poked his head in "Hey!" he said to Ichigo and Shinji "Hey, shut up."

"Who in the whole fuck do you think you're talking to." they said at the same time.

"You watch who the fuck you talking to." Shinji said "I will lay you out in front of your dad."

"Can you please just not, be yourself for like five seconds."

Shinji glared at him "Fine."

"Thank you." Starrk closed the door. "Father, would you like to apologize?"

"Yes, I am sorry for leaving you alone and telling all that stuff about you being gay..." Robert said

"I'm bi but go on."

"It is not my place to judge you for who you want to be with I have done a lot of fucked up shit in my day and I'm sorry."

"Thanks father."

"Can we come in now?"

"Well...the thing is..." Grimmjow said "..our...friends..."

"Friends?" Ichigo said through the window. "You can go back to being single."

"Our boyfriends are in there." Grimmjow said

"Good, we wanna meet em." Jackson said with a grin

Starrk and Grimmjow's eyebrows shot straight up "Really?" they said

"Let yo dad's meet the fabulousness that is us." Shinji said

"Are you sure? They're a lot." Grimmjow said "Its better if you meet one at a time."

The door opened and Shinji and Ichigo were standing in the doorway grinning like the little devils that they were. Shinji stuck his hand out "Hi, I'm Shinji Hirako, Starrk's boyfriend, class president, and salutatorian of my class." he shook the two father's hands.

Ichigo stuck his hand out "Hello, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, Grimmjow's boyfriend, and I am valedictorian of my class." he too shook the hands of both father's.

"Why'd you have to say your class rank?" Grimmjow said specifically to Shinji.

"Cuz I'm proud of it, number 37."

"Shut up, forehead."

"Wait, no." Ichigo and Starrk yelled jumping in between Shinji and Grimmjow.

"Can we at least go in the house." Starrk said

"I mean, in the house, outside. I'd lay him out anywhere." Shinji said letting Starrk push him in the house.

"You can try, I ain't Starrk or Renji I'll fuck you up." Grimmjow said back following then into the house

"You wanna go, cuz we can go I been waiting to fuck you up for a minute now."

"I been wanting to go somebody need to put you in your place."

"What's my place!?" Shinji yelled louder.

"Please stop." Ichigo and Starrk groaned

"Pam, Martin" Ichigo said "Please stop fighting. There are grown-ups here."

"Good, they can give a story when they call the ambulance." Grimmjow said. "Come on president lets go."

"Part of me just wants to let them go at it." Starrk said

Ichigo laughed a little at the thought "Yeah, but I'm not fighting Grimm after him and Shin fight and I'm not stopping Shiro from putting his hands on him either, so no they can't fight."

"But Shinji is heavy." Starrk whined, he had picked the boy up so he couldn't run out of his grasp.

"I know but..." Ichigo could hear music outside. "Does anybody hear that?"

Starrk tried to listen to the music. "Oh fuck its, Red."

"Probably ditching his speech." Ichigo said

"Like a certain somebody's." Starrk said looking between Ichigo and Shinji

"This ain't about me."

"Hey, guys." Renji said walking in the front door looking a bit dazed "Oh, shit, you got dad's over."

"Renji, what's wrong with you?" Shinji said, Starrk putting him down slowly.

"Nothing, just really nervous and I'm running away tonight. I'm just here to say bye." Renji said and then turned around to walk out of the door but was tackled by everyone. "Ouch my hair."

"Renji, no." Shinji said "You can't run away from your fears."

"Well I am so get off me."

"No" they all said

"Why did you pick me to do the speech? You know I'm not good at public speaking and you want me to public speak. I don't want somebody to fuck a girl and then ask Shinji to do it. Does that make sense? No, it don't. Do it?"

"Just so you know, I've kissed a girl before, so bam." Shinji said sitting up.

"Threesome?" Starrk asked hopeful

"No, you lost that privilege about seven months ago."

"Renji, we picked you cuz we knew you'd give the best speech. We love you and you have a little of all of us in you." Ichigo said

"Or most of you have some him in you." Grimmjow muttered

"Some more than others." Ichigo muttered and then they high fived each other.

Starrk and Shinji glared at them "You know I don't like hearing about that." Starrk said

"Why cuz Red used to fuck Shinji's brains out?" Ichigo asked holding his chin in mock thought

"Or cuz he fucked his brains out before you." Grimmjow said doing the same.

Ichigo turned to Grimmjow "Questions."

Grimmjow turned to Ichigo "Answers."

"You two really do belong together." Renji said rolling over on his back now that everyone was off of him. "But this is about me."

"Sorry." Ichigo giggled "How bout we change the subject and do something that calms you, like cooking I could eat."

"You could eat anytime." Shinji said

"That sounds good, I can do that." Renji said sitting up "What do you want?"

"Cook everything in the kitchen." Starrk said

"Sounds good." Renji said blindly walking into the kitchen.

"You got all the stuff ready for tomorrow?" Starrk asked Shinji when they were sure Renji was gone.

"Yeah, you know me I put prom together." Shinji patted himself on the shoulder.

Today is the day. Today is graduation. The day we wait for. The day we pray for. The day we count down to. This is the High School Graduation.

The soon to be high school graduates lined up in alphabetical order behind the stage where they would accept their diplomas and become official adults. There was so much commotion between not only the students but the teachers as well. Lives were going to be changed today and that made everyone nervous whether they were giving a speech today or not. The principal whistled making the almost adults dressed in blue robes turn their heads in his direction, he nodded his head alerting them it was time so walk into the main room of the hall they were using for their graduation. The used to be students walked in two lines to their seats, one line for the boys one line for the girls, smiling when they heard their families clapping for them and cheering on this special accomplishment. When all the students were seated Principal Yamamoto took the podium.

"Good evening students and parents. Today is a very special day, not only to you" he looked down at his students "but to me as well. This class is very close to my heart. The football team went all the way this year winning the championship for the first time in a long time. Yes, you may cheer." The football players stood cheering and clapping for themselves giving the works hooting an hollering for themselves along with some fathers. "Along with that win the cheerleaders also went national and won the championship." then the cheer leaders stood and cheered for themselves, not as much as the football team but they cheered. "The band also won their national championship." the band members stood up and cheered "And our soccer team won their championship." and the soccer team cheered. "This year we had a president that put in more effort than any other president ever, our vice president did as well." Shinji and Nel stood up and waved at their fellow classmates while they were cheered at.

"Thank you for not making do tons of planning and work this year. Now although this class is very special to me and you have brought me a lot of championships you are not perfect. Your tardiness, attendance rate, and suspension rate are not acceptable. A whole class coming in after lunch is not acceptable for a school or you standing outside the whole day because I wouldn't let you go out for senior ditch day is not acceptable either. But for as much trouble and headaches you have caused you're still a good class and I hope each and everyone is successful in everything you do. Thank you." Principal Yamamoto smiled slightly and walked away from the podium.

Byakuya waited for everyone to stop clapping and then walked up to the podium. "Hello, everyone. Apparently you voted me favorite teacher even though I've only been here for three years but I have taught I think all of you. I'm not going to give some super long boring speech because truth is I fell asleep at my graduation because the speeches were too long. I'm going to start by saying I am proud of you. I have watched a few of you nearly fail but pick it all back up because you were determined to finish what you started. I have tutored some of you with subjects other than English and I was just as happy when you passed your test as you were. There is no feeling to describe how I feel seeing you sitting in front of me on your way to being high school graduates except pride and like Principal Yamamoto I wish nothing but success for each and everyone one of you." Byakuya waited again for everyone to stop clapping before he spoke again. "Now give another round of applause for our first student speaker, the fourth Valedictorian of his family, Ichigo Kurosaki."

The crowd clapped and cheered for Ichigo while he walked up the stage stairs and up to the podium, he smiled to himself feeling a little nervous but happy his classmates accepted him but then rolled his eyes when he heard Shiro screaming louder than anyone. Ichigo stood in front of the podium waiting for his classmates who were still cheering to stop. "Okay, guys, I got it you love me." he laughed and then the room got quiet. "Good evening." he said and then pulled the paper he wrote his speech down on out of his pocket. "I wanted to memorize this but I can't so I'm just going to speak from the paper. As a class we have been through a lot together. We have partied together, fought together, won together, and lost together. After this we won't be together anymore for the first time in a long time. There have been times where we have not gotten along as a class for weeks but when we fight against that rival team of whatever sport we have each other's back no matter what." Ichigo fanned his face he could feel the tears on his face. "I'm crying already I didn't even say anything. Okay...um...I just want you guys to know that each and everyone is special and if we can do all these great things together imagine what we can do apart . We are awesome and I love you guys." Ichigo did a small bow and backed away from the podium. And then remembered he had to introduce Shinji he walked back up to the podium. "Oh yeah, Since you're already clapping clap for Shinji Hirako our class president."

Shinji rolled his eyes and walked up the stage stairs and to the podium. "Alright, alright lets get this over with." He smiled "As you know I am the class president and I have done a lot for our class: auctions, prom, the songs on valentines day and a bunch of other crap and it is all because when I look back on my high school years when I'm old and grey and Starrky has long since died I wanna remember that I had fun and I did all this stuff that other schools never had the chance to do. We've taken trips as a class and have followed the football team to the ends of the earth, we even went to the cheerleading competitions and debate competitions. We as a class have created memories that will follow us for years and I am happy I have them with you. I love you and we will go so far in life. Thank you."

"Its is not my turn." Renji said out loud by accident.

"Actually, Red" Shinji said

"We have a surprise for you." Ichigo said and then a huge projector screen came down from the ceiling. "We know you're super nervous so we made a video just so you know how much we love you."

A picture of Renji from kindergarten popped up on the screen and Renji's eyes went wide he lost is front tooth that day. Then they showed every picture he took for every year he was in school and as time when on Renji's grin got bigger until his senior picture was a picture with a giant grin on his face and a peace sign.

"Tell us how you feel about Renji Abari." Shinij could be heard in the video asking Toshiro

"Okay well, I think he's really loud and obnoxious but one time he fixed my car for like free and I thought that was really cool."

Then the video switched to the football team. "Sit still, Jesus." Ichigo was heard "Is everybody here?"

"Red's not here." Ikkaku said "Ouch." he said when Yumi hit him upside the head.

"Thank you. Now everyone tell Red why you wanted him to speak. One at a time just in case you didn't know."

"I'll say it." Starrk said, as captain of the team. "We picked Red to speak because he's the back bone of this school. I mean to be honest if I hadn't wanted to bone Shinji so bad I woulda voted Renji to be class president."

"Thanks for the support, honey." they heard Shinij said sarcastically.

"Well this is for graduation and parents will be watching so thanks for letting them know we're not saints." Ichigo said then his face came into view "Hear that Red if Starrk didn't have such pull around here you'd be class president and then you'd have to speak but we woulda had a crappy prom. Truth is I voted for you to be class president so there you go."

"Thanks for the support, honey." Shinji said again.

The video then flipped to the senior cheerleading squad "Okay ladies." Grimmjow said "Shinji, you're a lady you get over there too."

"Come in front of the camera so everyone can watch me rag tag that a..." Shinji said

"This is for Renji." Ichigo yelled behind the camera.

"Oh yeah," Grimmjow said "Hi ladies."

"Hi Grimm." Some of the cheerleaders said a little too friendly and Ichigo cleared his throat.

"Sorry I can't help it. Moving on. Ladies, why did you vote Renji to speak at graduation."

"I'll go since I don't wanna hit that." Rangiku said, being the captain of her team "We picked Red cuz he is really nice and has had a chance to speak to almost all of us -some closer than to others- but Red is sweet and is good at speaking all of our minds in his own way plus if Starrk didn't have so much power around here Renji would be class president."

"Are you kidding me? Is my presidency just a fluke?" Shinji huffed

"I mean sure prom would have been terrible and we'd probably be broke so I guess it worked out for the best." Rangiku shrugged her shoulders "I know you suck at speeches but good luck couz-o."

The band popped up next. "Hello everyone." Starrk said

"Hi Starrk." some of senior band members said a little too friendly.

"Y'all better change he tone of your voices." Shinij growled

"Whatever." Starrk said "Now tell us why oyu voted him to speak."

"We picked Red because" Shuhei said "he's one of us. He's a panther. He's the panther. He is the voice of our class so isn't it right he speaks to us one last time?"

Starrk walked in front of the camera "I don't know, Red, what do you think?" then the video shut up.

"Renji. Renji. Renji." The students cheered.

Renij smiled and covered his face "Now I gotta do it." he said standing up walking to the stage and up to the podium. Shinji smiled at him and moved out of his way, Renji held his hands out for Ichigo and Shinji to hold them while he gave his speech. He sighed real loud before finally speaking. "I didn't write anything down but I guess you knew that. When I was 6 years old my mom died, she was really sick, and when she passed I was angry and I began taking my anger out on those around me. My crew -I guess- would go around picking on the kids I felt were happier than me, especially these two." he pulled on their hands a little. "One day when I was 8 they didn't show up to school for a whole week and I was upset because I thought they were out being happier than me but in truth they had lost the same thing I had." he blew a breath out because telling this part of his life always made him sad. "I hadn't known this at first. Their first day back I waited for school to be over and I approached them. They always sat on the school steps waiting for their cousin to come get them. My friends and I approached them and we fought it was bad Ichigo tried to kill me..."

"You and Shu were trying to jump me." he laughed through his tears.

Renij laughed "We got suspended for like a month but after the fight my teacher told me they lost their mom earlier that week and that hurt me because they were now in my place but they weren't doing what I was doing. And from then on I decided that I wouldn't judge anyone by the smile on their face because that smile is usually just there to keep everything in. I decided that I would get to know everyone I see because everyone has a story that should he heard by at least one person who cares. I never wanted to be popular or whatever but I'm happy I am cuz I touch more people this way and I think my mom would be really proud of me for not being nice but being genuine. Thanks guys for voting me student speaker."

The student body stood and cheered and clapped for Renji and he hugged Ichigo and Shinji tightly before bowing and going back to his seat.

After everyone calmed down they began calling names and Renji was first.

"Renji Abari." Principal Yamamoto said "You did it boy." he said with a smile handing him his diploma.

"So this means I'm a high school graduate?" Renji said

"Yes."

"And like if I had a crush on a teacher I could be with them, right.?"

"Technically...yes."

Renji grinned and walked over to Byakuya who was not paying attention, Renji grabbed his robe and pulled him in for a kiss. Byakuya, being in work mode, pushed Renji away but then Renji held up his diploma. "I'm a graduate now." Byakuya then smiled and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Congratulations." Byakuya smiled

"Cheers, to being high school graduates, bitches." Shinji said hold up his glass

"Cheers." Grimmjow, Starrk, Ichigo, and Renji said holding up their glasses as well. After graduation they all went home with their families to celebrate their accomplishment. Most of them went to dinner with their families received gifts of all kinds.

"So Blondie what we get for graduation?" Starrk asked putting his arm around him.

"Blondie? Been a minute since you've called me that. Well Ichi and I got twin Range Rovers he got white it got black. Cheers to being top of the class." he held his glass up again.

"Cheers to having rich dads." Renji said "I haven't spoken to my dad in a week you know what he got me? A boat and not just any old sail boat, no sir, a yacht for partying. He said it was for making it through and it was an apology for not being there the last two years."

"That's awesome." Starrk said "My dad got me an apartment."

"Where?" Shinji asked

"Anywhere. He said he'll pay for my first apartment where ever it is."

"That's so nice of your dad to pay for our first home." Shinji said hitting Starrk's shoulder playfully.

"Or my bachelor pad for my bitches." Starrk said sitting back in his chair then he smiled at Shinji "I love you."

"Whatever, so Grimmy what you get? Intelligence?" Shinji asked

"No, I got a small forehead unlike you." Grimmjow glared at Shinji.

"Can we please have one day when you're not going at each other's throats." Ichigo said rolling his eyes "Now Grimm what did you get?"

"I got an audition at a record company, now I really don't know if I wanna sing forreal but I'm gonna do it any way. Seems my dad has the hook up."

"That's great, babe." Ichigo said with a smile. "Congratulations."

"Actually, I wanna take you with me its next month and its in Cali." Grimmjow told Ichigo.

"Of course I'll go with you." Ichigo said leaning in to kiss him but his phone rang. "Sorry, its Shiro I gotta answer." he took his phone out of his pocket. "Where are you? We over here trying to meet this mystery man you been fucking for like three years and you have yet to show up. Ima put you on speaker."

"Well actually you're at his restaurant right now so shut up. I called to tell you I'm on my fucking way." Shiro yelled "Got damn. Yeah bae they rushing me." he said to his boyfriend who was in the car. "See he in the car right now. I know you don't like it when I talk on the phone but this is what I do." Shiro sighed loudly "I be there in a minute, bye." he hung up.

"Shiro so irritating." Shinji said rolling his eyes. "I'm changing the subject Renji where's Byakuya."

"I don't know he's on his way, he says he has a surprise for me." Renji grinned

"I hope its nothing nasty." Shinji said sticking his tongue out.

"Hello." Byakuya said walking over to their table kissing Renji and sitting next to him. "I am late because my grandfather called he wants to meet you."

"How does he know we're together?"

"I don't know, he has his fingers in everything and I...oh no Principal Yamamoto of course he knows my grandfather their both really old."

"What's the problem with your grandfather wanting to me Red?" Starrk asked

"Because my grandfather is very terrifying when he meets his grandchildren's significant others its like you're interviewing for a life changing job." Byakuya shivered "He told my last boyfriend he'd have him killed if he broke my heart, of course he didn't listen but whatever."

"Is he dead?" Ichigo whispered.

"No, I beat him up though so its all good."

"Why?" Shinji said "I mean, I understand, but why?"

"I walked in on him fucking my cousin." everyone gasped "I was coming home from my second year of college I walk in my mothers house and there they are, my cousin was riding my boyfriend on the couch. So I march over and hit my cousin with a lamp and I proceed to beat my boyfriend's ass. He ended up calling the cops on me so now I have a mug shot."

"I told you he was crazy." Renji said

"That is not crazy." Ichigo said "I mean, I would have massacred both of them. You bold as fuck cheating on a couch."

"That's what I said." Byakuya said "Then my boyfriend had the nerve to break up with me cuz I broke his nose."

"Oh who breaking noses." Shiro said walking in holding his boyfriend's hand. "Congratulations, boys." Shiro said giving Shinji, Ichigo, Starrk, Grimmjow, and Renji kisses on their cheeks.

"Why do you give wet kisses?" Shinji said wiping his cheek "Like that's nasty."

"Shut up. Okay, here he is." Shiro said waving his arms in his boyfriend's direction. "my boyfriend, Zangestu."

"Hey." Everyone said.

"Okay, babe let me introduce you. These are my cousins and my calmer halves Ichigo and Shinji." Shiro said waving his arms in their directions. "This is Renji I've known him for like six years he's the one who knows all the party people. This is Grimmy he's Ichi's bae and when I'm famous Ima sign him. This is Starrky I've known him since his freshmen year when he first started following Shinji. And that's Red's boyfriend I like him already I can see the crazy in his eyes."

"I told you crazy knows crazy." Starrk said

"Shut up." Shiro said finally sitting down "So what about breaking noses."

"By boyfriend cheated on me with my cousin so I broke his nose and he broke up with me." Byakuya said

"You're kidding." Shiro said "I mean I would have cut his dick off so."

"We are sitting at a table full of crazies." Grimmjow said.

"Then you should know not to fuck up." Ichigo said with a grin.

"Renji, you never told us how you two met." Shinji said

"Oh okay well." Renji started "I was picking my dad up from the bar he had went back to drinking as you guys know and I saw Byakuya at the bar passed out so after I dropped my dad off I came back and took Byakuya home. He was super fucked up so I had to basically carry him and when I put him on the couch he kissed me and drunkly seduced me and you know how good I am at saying no so we did it. After that it was a little awkward not for me but I needed tutoring and he's a good tutor then we kinda became friends and then we fucked again and again and again -that day- and we talked and I suggested that we start dating and now we're here."

"That's cute, Red." Shiro said "How long you been together?"

"A year." Renji answered

"That's so cute, why were you drunk?" Shiro asked Byakuya

"I fucked my ex boyfriend who was engaged at the time and it was upsetting because we were engaged 6 months before hand." Byakuya said

"That's awful, was it good?" Shinji asked.

"It was nice but I enjoy sleeping with Renji." Byakuya smiled

"What is you surprise?" Ichigo asked

"Oh yes, you no longer have to worry about leaving me in Miami when you go to culinary school because I got a job being an student professor at a university in Atlanta."

"That's great."

"Red, you're going to Atlanta?" Shinji said "You're leaving me?"

"Dammit I forgot to tell you. Yeah, I have some family in Atlanta I've been meaning to catch up with so I'm going there." Renji said

"Oh no he's about to start crying." Ichigo said

"Why?" Grimmjow asked

"I don't know he's been crying all week."

"You guys are leaving." Shinji cried "Ichigo got an internship in New York for art and photography, Starrk's going to Orlando, even Grimmy is leaving ."

"Blondie I'm not going far." Starrk said pulling Shinji close to him.

"But like I can't just come visit you whenever I want. When Shiro graduated we didn't see him the whole summer and then 6 months after that he finally came home."

"Shinji we talked about that." Shiro said trying to calm him.

"I just need to go." Shinji said standing up and going to the bathroom to cry.

"I'll go" Shiro said following Shinji.

"Shinji's dad has a business where he basically makes small businesses big businesses Shinji's staying here to learn the craft but he didn't know no one else was staying here either. So he basically has a breakdown every time he hears something about going away." Ichigo explained.

"He seemed pretty okay when I told him I wasn't staying in Miami." Starrk said

"Yeah, I know but then my internship came and Shiro is going away again. This is like the first time three of us are in different places and his boyfriend isn't even here nor his other bestie."

"I'm back now." Shinji said walking in with red puffy eyes. "There's nothing that can be done about you guys leaving so its fine."

"Look how about this" Renji said "we will pick a day out of the year and wherever we are we meet up some place. Deal?"

"Deal." everyone said with a smile

*10 years later*

"Ten years ago today I graduated high school and now I'm opening my own restaurant." Renij said to Byakuya as he got dressed in their bedroom. They now live in a house in Miami and they are adopting a son soon. "I am so happy with what is happening today I can't breathe."

"Don't die on me, baby." Byakuya said kissing his cheek "I need you to make this money so I can be a househusband and shop all day."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, my life goal is to do nothing all my life." Byakuya smiled and kissed Renji again.

"Stop or we'll be late because we were fucking."

"That doesn't sound too bad to me."

"David Hirako-Coyote!" Shinji screamed "I swear if you don't get your ass over here. Starrk!"

"What!" Starrk said buttoning his shirt walking down the stairs.

"Your son is running around not listening, again."

"We made this kid together." Starrk walked over to their son and picked him up. "Why are you making daddy scream?"

"You make daddy scream." David said

"And that is why you are going over Uncle Isshin's house today."

"I'm going to get dressed." Shinji said running up stairs.

"We have to leave in 30 minutes, babe." Starrk yelled

"I already set my clothes out and did my hair so shut up." Shinji yelled back

"Daddy needs a time out." David said

"I know he does." Starrk said laughing.

"Grimm!" Ichigo yelled fixing his hair in the mirror "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, hold on."

"We have to be there in ten minutes and we're thirty minutes away. We're going to be late."

"We're always late."

"That's cuz you schedule your spa days wrong."

"Oh whatever I look great and you know it." Grimmjow said walking out with a smirk.

"Your face is all glowy come on we have to go." Ichigo said grabbing Grimmjow's hand and pulling him towards the door.

"Did you make sure the dogs were put up, I don't want them running around the house again."

"They'll be fine."

"You spoil them."

"I would have a human to spoil if you weren't so busy touring."

"You're just as busy as I am but were adopting next week so shut up."

"Whatever, Shinji."

"Stop that."

Ichigo laughed and kissed Grimmjow. "I'm so excited I haven't seen Shinji in like four months."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"OH MY GOD." Shinji squealed when he saw Ichigo and they ran up and hugged each other. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you, too. How are you? How is David?" Ichigo said pulling away but not letting go.

"I'm fine, David just turned six he's a handful, don't get a son, I don't know how Uncle Isshin did it with the three of us."

"That is so cute, Grimm and I will be adopting soon I really want a girl I'm super excited."

"I'm super excited for you. Hows photography coming?"

"Its going great I just opened up a school in Miami so I'm closer to you now and everything is just really coming along. How many clubs do you and Starrk have open?"

"A fucking lot we just opened up our tenth one in New York City who would of thought throwing parties could be turned into a career. Starrk buys the buildings and I decorate em and although it stresses me out I love it."

"Where is Renji so we can get this show on the road? I'm starving."

"Somethings never change."

...

"So Starrk how you been?" Grimmjow asked his cousin

"I'm great man get a son they love you but on to other words. Where have you been?" Starrk crossed his arms over his chest.

"I've been on tour selling record after record Shiro keeps me busy but I'm settling down and Ichi and I are adopting."

"Get a son."

"Ichi wants a daughter."

"I couldn't have a daughter if the shit I did to girls happened to my baby girl I'd kill someone."

"That's why you only date men."

"Shut up, homo, I hate you."

"Speaking of girls, how's forehead."

"That's a ten year old joke."

"And its still hilarious."

"Blondie's fine, we fight but that's what we do he still threatens to 'lay me out' he's crazy but I knew that."

"When you gonna marry him?"

"Aren't we basically married? We have a son, he has both our last names. We should just elope."

"I said that to Ichi when we was getting married and he punched me. So you can elope but you'll be marrying yourself."

"Whatever."

"Good evening Everyone." they heard Renji said, they turned to where they heard the voice. Renji was standing in the front of the restaurant holding Byakuya's hand. "Welcome to Zabimaru, my restaurant. Thank you for coming and enjoy the food." the people who were standing around waiting for Renji to arrive sat down at table's except for Starrk, Grimmjow, Ichigo, and Shinji they followed Renji and Byakuya to a room in the back of the restaurant.

"Hey guys." Renji said hugging Shinji and Ichigo and high fiving Starrk and Grimmjow. "I'm so happy to see you guys."

"We're happy to see you, too." Shinji said "And your never-aging husband, nice upgrade."

"Its my genes, Shinji." Byakuya smiled taking a seat next to Renji.

"Guys we made it." Ichigo said holding up his glass when every one sat down. "We're rich with our own money."

"Cheers." they all said laughing and smiling and remembering how good it was to be with one another again.
