My very first Bleach fic I have in completion and posted. *dances* Took a break on writing belated smut and came up with this little diddy. I'm pretty sure the dream topic came about from the whacked dreams I've been having 2 weeks straight.
Title: Wide Awake in Dreamland
Author: Beck
Pairing/characters used: Renji/Rukia
Notes: Takes place after the SS arc. No spoilers. Inspiration also comes from eps. 55 & 61. Many thanx to the roomate *squishes* and dedicated to the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
renji_rukia peeps cause you guys rock so hard!
Warning(s): The ending got kinda sappy so it may rot your teeth just from reading. *laughs*
Disclaimer: Me no own. *weeps* Bleach belongs to the awesomeness that is Kubo Tite.
Enjoy!
Rukia didn’t have to open her eyes to know that the sunrise was just along the horizon. She could feel the heat of the light through her closed lids but it wasn’t so much of the brightness that kept her from opening her eyes.
Slow, steady puffs of air blew through the back of her hair and down her neck, sending a tickling sensation through her body. The emitted heat ensured her that he, indeed, was still there; undoubtedly in a deep sleep. Between the states of sleep and consciousness, she wasn’t quite sure if she was dreaming or not.
“Mmmrr. . . what?” The question came out more of a half slumbered mumble but it startled her none the less. “What did you say Rukia?”
Did I just say that out loud? The shock that she might have actually spoken her thought made her eyes open, though slightly squinting at the light creeping through the window.
“Am I dreaming?”
The body next to her shifted a bit and felt his presence against her back though, not near touching. “Dreaming about what?”
“About this; about you, about me being here.” She was almost afraid to move so she kept as still as possible, not even turning around to face him directly.
Some more sleepy mutterings came as a retort but soon cleared itself so she could understand what he was saying. “I don’t know. If you’re dreaming, then I'm dreaming too.”
He could feel her body tense up and knew that his answer wouldn’t satisfy her. “Go back to sleep Rukia, you’ll find out when you wake up.”
She didn’t respond to that right away, it was as if she was grasping for words that wouldn’t make her feel weak for saying such things. “I'm. . . I’m afraid to go back to sleep. I'm afraid that this really is all just a dream and you won’t be here,” she finally admitted—to him but maybe more to herself.
An arm crossed over to the front of her body, wrapping around her waist and pulling her against the solid wall of his chest. His wandering hand then found hers as he interlaced their fingers together, bringing them to her chest, hugging her securely to him. He curled his body around her as if forming a human shield and felt her relax at his touch.
“It’s going to take more than waking from a dream for me to let you go,” he whispered into the back of her hair.
Letting her held breath escape from her lips, Rukia settled into him, feeling the grip close in more around her. He was not one to say things out of no where and when he said it, he meant it. Even if she did wake up to find him gone from her, she knew that he was now hers as much as she was his. It was an empowering sensation to know that from this moment on, she would be his girl and even more so to know that he wanted it that way.
“Then let me wake from a thousand dreams Renji, just so I can wake in your arms,” she breathed and trickled back into a surrendered state of comfort.
END!

*sniff* Damn, that was really so fluffy!
I was a bit skeptical about the reactions or even posting it cause I was afraid it was too sweet for them. But I liked the outcome of it since I'm so sick and tired of angst, angst, angst that is always portrayed with this pair. There is more to live than angst ppl!
Makes me really believe it will happen (I'm not a Bleach shipper of any couple, but I don't like some pairings...and I acknowledge some pairings, like Rukia with Renji rather than Ichigo, so the story you wrote really made me feel that Renji and Rukia will end up together), but since it is a shounen manga, the romance is left in the air...somewhat.
I feel the same way. With Bleach, the only pairing I focus on is Renji/Rukia. There are a few other het pairings on the side that I like from time to time but I don't dwell on them as much.
Anyway, great job!!! I wouldn't mind reading more of this pairing, especially of this kind.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting on it. I do have a few more fics started with this pair, its just the idea of getting my brain in gear and get back to finishing them up.
