I don't play the characters, but it was a funny scene, and I /had/ to draw it. From GateMUSH.

There's a familiar glimpse of a certain raven-haired shinigami's head before it vanishes in the crowd, bobbing this way and that as she starts heading up to where Renji and Byakuya are seated. She sneaks up behind them, and while Byakuya could probably sense her, she could still sneak up on Renji. Especially when he's distracted with food. God knows he never gets enough at Urahara's place.

She places her lips close to Renji's ear: "Honestly, you get in SO MUCH TROUBLE even when you're doing absolutely NOTHING."

She straightens up, crossing her arms over her chest as she watches the fashion show. It's about to wind down now, she knows it - she knew what the lineup was, but her face was glowing. Did she enjoy it? Well, just a little bit. She had always tried to teach others that it was okay to take a breather once in a while. This was hers. Still WORK, though, but this was at the very least more relaxing than running off and get stabbed through the stomach.

Has Rukia ever seen Byakuya in average human attire before? Likely not. Before the vague change in their relationship, Byakuya would never have had cause to come to the human world to attend any of Rukia's affairs: unless, of course, she had gotten herself into trouble. But now she'll be privy to the strange sight of him not in those flowing hakama or draping formal robes, but in a tailored black suit and tie, looking for all the world like some sharply-dressed young executive. Or at least, he'd look like a sharply-dressed executive if his hair weren't loose and down about his shoulders, and if he weren't sporting shades that push him more towards the yakuza look.

He senses Rukia's approach once she draws close, but offers no greeting to her beyond a slight turn of the head to suggest that-- behind those shades-- Rukia (and Renji, by virtue of their proximity) is getting one hell of a -look-.

Yes, she can still sneak up on Renji. Mostly because his sensing ability was only slightly better than Kenpachi's. However he had just finished off his snack and sets it down on the chair next to him, carefully closing the lid. He sighs, leans back against the chair and in general seems to relax. Yes. There was a bit of excitement, and his Captain did not seem happy, but he can deal with that. After all he really didn't do anything besides look shocked. No drool or nothing.

Then he hears a familiar voice in his ears. He is schooled enough not to leap out of his seat, but he does twitch. "...unlike you! Who has to go looking..." And as he speaks his head whips around towards her. Of course he dosn't quite know just how close she is.

The contact of his lips against hears was just a momentary brush. However, it was enough to realise it, enough to feel the heat of skin on skin, and the breath that he was taking in to finish his statement. Its not a kiss not a proper one, but the contact, the feel is there.

"...for it." Renji finishes his statement looking into those big lavender eyes that he knows so well. His own widening in suprise. She was this close? He didn't know! It was an accident! He didn't mean to? OH GOD DON'T KILL ME BOSS!

He's never been so glad for dim lighting and the spotlights on the stage in his life...or unlife as the case may be.
