Title: Heat Wave (Part Five) - Unfair
Series: Bleach
Pairing/Characters: Akon, Nemu, Rin, Mayuri  (Characters by Kubo Tite)
Warnings: -
Notes: I haven't written fic in awhile. I thought writing some Akon would help me ease back into it.  Heat Wave (Part Four)- Tired - Kensei/Shuuhei
Summary/Excerpt:


The rest of the Seireitei may have been suffocating under the oppressive heat, but Akon shivered a little as he read through the stack of reports at his side.

The lab was normally kept quite cool, but even they were beginning to feel the effects of the heat wave. Besides the extra power it would have required to keep it as cool as it was supposed to be, their cold air kept escaping every time the door opened.

Shinigami from every division were finding excuses to visit, just to get out of the heat for a precious few minutes. Akon had never seen the other Captains as many times in his entire service as he had in the last week or so. It was irritating. It was disruptive and warming, and Akon quickly decided he did not have to put up with it.

This was how he’d come to be seated in the walk-in freezer, extra lab coats over his shoulders and several folded beneath him for a seat. He’d been reading in there quite happily for awhile, leaving only to warm up a little or to get a new pen when his froze.

When the door opened, he was prepared to tell whoever it was to get what they needed, leave, and keep his whereabouts to themselves. After looking up, however, and finding it was Nemu who had found him, he sighed. “Vice-Captain.”

“This is not the intended use for this room.”

“Nemu…if everything was used only as it was intended, we would not be as innovative as we are, no?”

Even his most winning smile wasn’t enough. Nemu didn’t reply. She stood and looked at him until he got up and swept his things up into his arms. Until he found out how the Captain felt about his temporary acquisition of the freezer as his private office, it was probably best to go along with Nemu. Though if the Captain objected, it would be rather unfair - considering how he was dealing with the heat.

Akon walked out beside Nemu, trying to keep a firm hold on everything in his arms. They reached the door to the kitchen area at the same time, and immediately Akon dropped his armful as Nemu disappeared from his side.

The look on Rin’s face was one of absolute shock as his Vice-Captain held his arms back in a vice-like grip and Akon stood before him pale and angry-looking.

“Wh-what did I do?”

Akon stared at him a moment, the exasperated look on his face one that Rin had seen many times before. Akon raised the glass jug Rin had just been about to drink from to eye level. “Don’t you read before putting anything in your mouth?!”

“I-” Rin looked at the label stuck onto the jug, and felt an immediate sense of terror steal over him. “N-no…” he whispered.

“Yes. You almost drank Captain Kurotsuchi. While it would have been unpleasant for him, I’m sure it would have been far, far worse for you.” Akon sighed and carried the jug back to the fridge, shaking his head slightly. Nemu released Rin and followed Akon, leaving Rin to gape in nervous silence for an instant before he turned tail and ran out of the room.

Akon had just set the jug down when Akon heard the Captain’s voice. “Was I moved? What happened?”

“Nothing happened. It just wasn’t made clear enough that you should not be moved. I’ll take care of it.”

“See that you do.”

Only after he had informed everyone of the Captain’s condition at least twice and made ample signs to dissuade them further did Akon remember he hadn’t asked about the freezer. He almost opened the fridge door to mention it when he felt Nemu’s eyes on him.

Akon sighed and went back to work. It really was unfair.
