BL FANFICS AND THE SOUL REAPER WOMAN'S ASSOCIATION - Renruki
Pairings: Mainly Renruki; mentions of Ichihime
Notes: Proof read(but there might be mistakes anyway)
Summary: Imagine the soul reaper women's association getting a hold of a boy love manga from the world of the living and being absolutely fascinated by it. So much so that they can't help but envision some of the guys they know in these scenarios, and Rangiku, being the one to find the manga in the first place, took it upon herself to right some of her own.

*Some weeks after discovering the manga*
" I'm sorry Rangiku-san but I'm just not interested." Rukia stated for what seemed like the one hundredth time that afternoon. Both of the women were currently sharing tea at the Kuchki mansion, and Rangiku had brought one of her new volumes for Rukia to read. Now it wasn't that Rukia didn't want to read another one of Rangiku's latest works of fiction, nor was it that she didn't like this new concept of "boy love". Rangiku was surprisingly talented, and something about seeing good looking men in vulnerable situations really intrigued Rukia. It was just this one in particular that she was conflicted about reading. Why? Because this one included her husband. Renji Abarai.
"Oh come on Rukia! Renji is a bottom here! Don't you want to see your hubby being submissive and cute??" Rangiku pressed on, purposely using one of Rukia's favorite words. Rukia shuffles around in her seat a little because that was, in fact, something she wanted to see. Still though, she shook her head.
"Still, Renji would hate it. He's already been complaining about all the boy love I already read. Now one with him in it?" Rukia says with a sigh, resting her chin on the back of her hands. Despite what you'd think, judging based off Rukia and Renji's banter full, best friends to lovers relationship, they don't like to go out of they're way to upset or make the other uneasy. And although Renji only mildly dislikes the new manga trend that's so popular right now, one with him in it would probably be a different story. Rangiku just laughs.
"Yeah he probably would." She says with a knowing smile, before continuing." But he doesn't have to see it y'know." Rukia frowns a little, confused. Rangiku explains further, stirring her tea, that one of the maids had just refilled.
"Just don't let him see it. Us ladies can have things that we indulge in privately for our own pleasure and enjoyment. It won't hurt him if he doesn't know it exist, especially something as harmless as a book." Rangiku says with a shrug. "Besides I'm sure there's things that Renji likes that you don't agree with." Rukia thinks back to the time where figurines of characters in the world of the living had been introduced to the soul society. Renji had been against it at first, thinking it was silly, but had taken a liking to a certain character before long, and now has a few figurines of her in his office. Rukia hadn't liked it because the character was rather busty in comparison to herself, but nonetheless let Renji keep them because he genuinely liked them. Similar to how he let Rukia keep her manga because she's so interested in them.
Rukia thought it over. Keeping a secret stash of boy love manga that her spouse didn't know about. It's true that it's harmless if Renji doesn't catch her reading them.
"Alright. Let me see it." She finally says with a sigh, holding her hand out across the table. Rangiku excitedly hands Rukia her latest volume. Rukia takes it and opens it up to see who her husband was paired with. Her eyes widen.
" He's paired with Ichigo!!?" Rukia almost shouts, but silences herself, not wanting to disturb her brother somewhere. Rangiku just sips her tea.
"Yup I figured after you finish you can lend it to Orihime-chan!" She says with a smile. Rukia just sighs, not surprised at Rangiku's antics.

Renji whistles a light tune as he walks back to his home that he shares with his beloved wife, Rukia. He'd just finished sparing with Ikaku and Shuhei a little sooner than he'd expected and decided to come home early. He's still whistling when he crosses they're garden, opens they're door, and sees Rukia sitting on a pillow in the middle of they're living room, reading one of her manga. Rukia jumps at sound of the screen door opening so abruptly. She had been so absorbed in Rangiku's latest volume that she hadn't sensed Renji's approaching spiritual pressure. She immediately hides the book behind her back. Renji laughs at her reaction.
" You don't have to be so embarrassed Rukia. I've seen how invested you get in your books before y'know." He says easily, walking further into the room. Rukia panics a little in the middle of they're spacious living room, where there weren't many places to hide the manga.
"Is that a new one? Who's it about this time? Hanataro again? Or that one newbie you girls have been fawning over lately?" Renji inquires with another laugh, bending down to kiss her. Rukia leans back, not wanting him to accidentally see the cover, now that he was much closer. Renji scrunches his eyebrows up in confusion.
"Uh Rukia, is it that bad? You know I don't actually hate them or anything right? I mean it is a little weird to me but if you like it, it's fine. It's not as if it's about me or something." Renji tries to reassure her, but also not understanding why she's trying to hide it so hard when he's seen alot of her manga before. Rukia jumps a little in her spot. Renji observes her for a moment before repeating himself.
"Its not about me right?" He asks again, now skeptical because of her lack of response. __________________________________________________
So, after a lot of yelling and bickering, Rukia finds herself at small bakery in the world of the living. A bakery where a young, human friend of hers was employed. She was now sitting at one of the tables by the window, waiting for said young woman to go on break.
"Rukia!" A voice from behind her called out cheerfully. Rukia turned with a smile, ready to greet her close friend.
After catching up for a little while and enjoying a few snacks, Rukia finally tells Orihime about what's been popular in the soul society lately and the mishap with her husband.
" I mean I understand it's a little embarrassing, but did he have to get so angry about it!? Even went as far as to make me get rid of it!" Rukia shouts with a deep blush dusting her cheeks, before slamming down her teacup as if it were a sake glass. Orihime, slightly concerned about her friends reaction to the tea, gently pulls the cup away from Rukia as she continues to rant.
"Well you said Renji has been pretty accepting about this hobby despite it making him kind of uncomfortable right?" Orihime asks when it's her turn to speak. Rukia pauses, before nodding sheepishly, already knowing what Orihime was about to tell her.
"Uh-huh! Then maybe just this time you can take his feelings into consideration? I mean if he feels so strongly about it! And if he usually compromises and let's you do what you want, what's the harm in letting him have his way this time?" Orihime continues with her finger on her lip, obviously thinking about a solution that's fair to both her friends, before continuing to ramble.
" I mean that's what Ichigo and I do anyway! He pretty much lets me cook what I want, so the times where he doesn't want to eat some of my recipes(although I don't know why!) I compromise and make something he wants to eat! And it's not just that! We compromise with other things too like-" Orihime stops when Rukia rests her hand on her own.
" I think I understand what you're saying Orihime." Rukia says with a soft smile, one that Orihime returns happily. Rukia didn't have to be told that Renji compromises a lot for her. In truth, although he'd probably deny it, Renji spoils Rukia, because he loves it when she's happy. Just like the time the Soul society pop-up shop had released a variety of Chappy merchandise, and Rukia had wanted pretty much every item that came out. Of course Renji complained about how the house was filled with things they didn't need and how much money she was spending on it all, but everyone saw how he looked at her when she was joyfully caring her bags home. He was even happy to carry some himself, as long she was smiling. And Rukia knew that. That's why she decided to get rid of the book, because despite how her giant husband reacted he probably would've let her keep it if she had expressed that she wanted it bad enough. Rukia hadn't realized she was zoning out until Orihime had called her name.
"Oh it's nothing! You're right!" Rukia replies quickly, not wanting to admit that she was basically gushing about how thoughtful her husband is. The blush shading her cheeks though, pretty much let Orihime know though. Rukia suddenly gets a soft look in her eyes, glancing down at her cup.
"Besides, I don't want to hide things from Renji anyway." She says lovingly, while stirring her tea gently. Orihime just smiles warmly, glad that she was able to help lay her friend's worry to rest, before continuing the conversation.
"Well it's not all bad to hide things in marriage! I mean we're not married or anything, but Ichigo doesn't know about my secret stash of mint-pepper jelly! Or there was a time in highschool when I kept a hoodie that he loaned me (although it was a accident) and there was another time when-!" Rukia just listens as her little friend goes on, with a small smile on her face.
" So what was it that got Renji so flustered in the first place Rukia?" Orihime asks curiously after finishing up what she was saying before. Rukia blushes, before looking around cautiously, and leaning in over the table, making Orihime do the same.
