41Making It Official

 

I was seriously thinking about tracking Shuuhei down and punching his fucking lights out. Not that it would help my current problem, but it'd make me feel a hell of a lot better. Nova had been avoiding me since Shuuhei opened his big mouth about Mod souls being on the Soul Society hit list. I was just about ready to pull my hair out over that stupid ability of Nova's to teleport away. How the fuck was I supposed to corner the guy to talk to him if he freaking disappeared whenever I got within ten feet of him?

 

I swore under my breath and whipped my pillow across the room in frustration just as a soft knock sounded on my door.

 

“What?” I snarled.

 

There was a pause and then a murmured apology in a voice I'd been dying to hear for nearly three days. I damn near did a face plant scrambling from my bed to answer the door. Nova was already turned to walk away by the time I yanked the door open. He was closer to me now than he'd been in the days since Shuuhei torpedoed my love life, so I grabbed Nova's arm and pulled him into my room. The door banged shut behind us, but didn't let go of Nova's arm. There was no way in hell I was letting go either. He couldn't teleport away from me if I was touching him.

 

Nova's head was down and he refused to look up at me. I tilted my head to the side and frowned a little when I saw he had the zipper closed on his hood. Come to think about it, he'd had the zipper closed on his hood since Shuuhei, the tattle-tale, had opened his big fucking trap. I was seriously going to have to find him and pound the crap out of him for making Nova feel so uncomfortable, he wouldn't even go around the shop with his hood open. Not really sure what to do, I moved on instinct and pulled Nova into a hug.

 

Nova was stiff in my arms and I was positive the second I let him go, he'd teleport away. Damn Shuuhei for opening his big mouth. It wasn't like he had a lot of room to be pointing fingers. He wanted in Ishida's pants so bad; it was almost painful to watch. I smirked a little at the thought that Ishida didn't seem like the easy conquest Shuuhei typically went after when he wanted a little fun. Ishida was gonna make him work to get anywhere. Speaking of work, I had my own work to do with Nova.

 

“I'm not letting you go until I'm sure you're not going to teleport away on me. Did you have something to tell me? Is that why you came to my room?”

 

Nova nodded his head but didn't say anything. I pursed my lips and tried not to sigh. Nova had been getting better at talking before Shuuhei spilled the beans, but it looked like we were back to square one. I was a lot better at reading him, but it was almost impossible when I couldn't even see his eyes and the clues I got from them.

 

“I'm lousy at guessing games, Nova. You're gonna have to tell me what you came to say or we're gonna stand here all night. Not that I mind that. I like hugging you, but at some point, one of us is gonna want to use the bathroom or something.”

 

I heard a muffled snort of laughter and relaxed a tiny bit. Laughter was good. Some of the tension left Nova and I felt the feather light touch of his hands on my hips before they slid to rest lightly on the small of my back. Okay. This was even better. He was sorta hugging me back. I pressed my lips together and waited. Patience was something I was learning with Nova. You just couldn't rush the guy. I'm not sure how long we stood there hugging each other before Nova finally spoke in that husky bedroom voice of his that never failed to make my cock perk up and take notice.

 

“Are you in trouble because of me?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Hisagi said…” Nova sighed softly, “am I making things rough for you with your Captain or with the other Shinigami in Soul Society? Do you want me to not bother you anymore?”

 

I ground my teeth together. Shuuhei was so dead the next time I saw him.

 

“Nova, what I do in my private time is nobody's fucking business but my own. If I wanna dance around in a pink tutu and belt out show tunes while swinging Zabimaru around my head, that's my choice and nobody can say different. If I wanna hang with a totally hot guy who happens to be a Mod soul, it's still nobody's business but mine and the totally hot guy I'm seeing.”

 

“But….”

 

“But nothing. You heard Urahara, right? He got permission for you guys to be here,” I said even as I thought that Urahara would've created the gigai for the Mod souls whether or not he had permission. Urahara was just that kind of person. “I'm glad you're here and that you like to spend time with me. Everybody else can go fuck themselves.”

 

Nova was quiet for even longer this time, but I still wasn't about to let him go. I'd missed having him around the last couple of days and until I was sure he wasn't gonna run and hide again, I wasn't about to step away from him. I don't know how he did it but he calmed me right the fuck down just by being near me when I was stressed or wound up from a patrol. As stupid and sappy as it sounded, it was like this peace flowed out of him and into me. Didn't hurt anything either that he was drop dead gorgeous and I completely lusted after his tight little ass.

 

“I heard Rukia talking to Orihime. Am I… am I your boyfriend or just convenient?”

 

I squeezed my eyes closed and mentally added Rukia to my list of people who needed to die. She was such a freaking busybody and needed to keep her damn nose out of my business. If anybody was going to call me on what my… intentions were, it should be Urahara, but he'd more or less given me the thumbs up to start something with Nova.

 

“You're not just convenient. I really like you and you're a cool guy to hang with. Urahara said you didn't have much experience and you said you'd never been with anybody before. I didn't want to push you and ask for more than you were ready for, Nova. I'm not seeing anybody else, so, yeah, I guess you are my boyfriend. If you want to be, that is.”

 

I was surprised at the feeling of warmth that settled in my gut from calling Nova my boyfriend. Surprised, but I liked it. Nova relaxed a little more into my arms and reached up to unzip his hood. Uncertainty was in his pretty aqua eyes when he looked at me and I didn't like that, but at least I could see his eyes now. We stared at each other in silence for several minutes before he seemed to reach some kind of decision and nodded as if to himself. He pushed against my hold and sighed softly when I didn't loosen my arms. He bent his head down, pulled his hood off and shook his hair. He bit his lip and looked up at me through his eyelashes and I had to resist the urge to yank him close and kiss him senseless. Damn he was pretty.

 

“I think I'd like to be your boyfriend, Renji. Now, what if I think I'm ready for more?” Nova asked softly, a blush burning across his cheeks.

 

My mouth went dry and I swear to god, I was amazed I didn't pass out from the sudden rush of blood to my groin. Nova's eyes never left mine as he waited for me to answer. The tiniest of smiles passed over his lips when he felt my cock pressing into his belly. I let out a slow, shaky breath when he leaned into me and I felt his cock start to firm up. Nerves suddenly made my belly flutter when I realized that I probably wouldn't be at my best for Nova's first time. I was raring to go right now and my control would be non-existent. There was no fucking way in hell I was going to be a one-pump-chump for Nova's first time or move so fast that I'd hurt him. I groaned softly and leaned my forehead against Nova's.

 

“I've been dreaming about you saying that, but I don't think I can do anything about it right now,” I said with a regretful sigh.

 

“Why?” Nova asked as he subtly pressed against me and made me seriously question my good intentions.

 

“I'm too excited about the idea of doing more with you. I don't think you'd have as much fun as you're supposed to. I know you wouldn't have as much as fun as me and that's not fair.”

 

Nova was quiet for a few moments. I tried to will away my erection but having Nova all warm and willing in my arms shot that idea to shit pretty damn quick. He pulled his head back and gave me a very direct look.

 

“Later then?”

 

“Shit yeah. I just need to,” jerk off like a demented monkey before having your ass, “get a little control back.”

 

“Can we still cuddle? Would that be okay?” Nova asked with a hint of uncertainty.

 

I smiled and gave him a hard squeeze. “Sure can. I'd like that. I missed you, ya know. Nobody else will watch movies with me.”

 

Nova snorted and hugged me back. “You yell at the screen.”

 

I shrugged and walked Nova backwards towards my bed until we sorta fell onto it. I twisted at the last minute so Nova landed on top of me and wriggled around until we were comfortable, while still hugging him to me. I was sure he wouldn't teleport away now, but I didn't want to let him go. He felt good in my arms. I suppose it was official now. I had me a boyfriend and I liked the way that made me feel.

 

Nova sighed softly and his fingers began tracing over the lines of my tattoos on my face and neck. I rubbed my hand over his back and slowly relaxed. Nova's breathing eventually slowed along with the calming touch of his fingers on my skin. Before long, he was asleep on my chest. I smiled, kissed the top of his head and closed my eyes more content than I could remember being in a long while.
