Summary: The night is no longer blind to them, nor they to each other
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairing: Byakuya/Yoruichi (or is that Yoruichi/Byakuya?)
A/N: No particular timeline. This was originally much shorter, but I felt it important to add a setting.
Please keep in mind that I don't particularly care if you don't like this pairing - so you may as well leave your personal preferences out of the review =P
*******
The blindfold is red.
Yoruichi likes the color it brings to his face, the way it deepens the already dark color of his hair. She likes the way it falls softly through her fingers as she slides it over his eyes, her breath on his cheek, her lips grazing his ear. His hands on her hips are a promise softer and deadlier than the blade of Senbonzakura.
His Zanpakuto rests beside them on the bed, their clothes discarded on the floor. The Captain's haori is spread inelegantly beneath his naked back, and she takes a small satisfaction in it. The shoji to her chambers is left open; the night is no longer blind to them, nor they to each other, if only temporarily. Once the blindfold comes off, they will be as they always were, but she does not think of that now, only of his skin on hers and the smirk on his mouth.
Byakuya’s lips are soft as she kisses them.
Together, they become blind.
