Hitsugaya-taicho had very pretty lips.

Renji couldn't help but notice this little fact when he and his captain, Byakuya, were on their way back to the sixth division when they crossed paths with the smallest captain. The red head stood a bit behind his superior, waiting patiently as Hitsugaya and Byakuya exchanged some polite dialogue.

Abarai Renji did not speak of his attraction to the tenth division captain, namely because said person had the face and body of a twelve-year old. While the small captain was not even close to a child, and acted with impressive maturity (not to mention he was one of the strongest Shinigami in the Seireitei), Renji knew it would look strange if he voiced his thoughts of Toushiro.

It was pointless, anyway. Hitsugaya Toushiro had no sex drive. This is what Renji believed, at least. The fukutaicho knew that the snow-haired captain had strong feelings for Hinamori Momo, though he had never heard of the stoic Shinigami being physically attracted to the girl. Hitsugaya had never shown any physical interest in men, either, for that matter.

Renji really had no intention of having a relationship with Toushiro, as his interest was only physical. Not that he didn't like the little guy, he just didn't want or need a long term relationship with him. However, he did want something from the captain. His lips twitched upward as a certain recurring fantasy came to mind...

"Abarai," Byakuya suddenly hissed, glancing over his shoulder at the surprised red head. "Pay attention when your superiors are addressing you."

"S-Sorry, Kuchiki-taichou!" The other sputtered, a blush rising on his face. Being scolded was not fun for him. Byakuya turned back to Hitsugaya.

"Forgive me and my impudent fukutaicho, Hitsugaya-taichou. Please repeat the question to Abarai."

Body tense, Renji looked over his captain's shoulder to meet Toushiro's slightly annoyed gaze. The red head could only smile guiltily.

"Matsumoto was supposed to arrive at your quarters this morning to receive the report that you, Abarai, completed on Human Trafficking. However, she has not returned to our baracks and I'll need that report before tonight."

"Abarai will give you the report himself before night falls, if that is alright with you, Hitsugaya-taichou," Byakuya replied before Renji could. The lieutenent, of course, only nodded. He silently wondered if he had completed that report yet or not.

Toushiro said that would be fine, and the three parted ways.

Renji stood in front of Hitsugaya's door, his report gripped in his hand. Luckily, he had scribbled down enough to say that the report was completed, and it wasn't even dark yet. Grinning, he called out, "May I come in, Hitsugaya-taichou?"

"Yes, yes," He heard from the other side. Toushiro sounded tired, but he paid no mind to it. Sliding open the door, he quickly stepped through into the captain's office, breathing in the fresh scent. Renji briefly wondered if the same fragrance coated Hitsugaya's skin, but tucked away the thought before others made themselves known.

He looked to north-western corner and found the small captain sitting at his desk, his cheek resting on his propped-up hand. Blue eyes glanced at him sluggishly before they looked back to the stack of papers on his desk.

"You do all that paperwork yourself?" Renji inquired as he walked forward to the desk. Byakuya made Renji do most of the paperwork, after all.

"My lieutenant isn't dependable," was all the other said, scribbling his signature on another page. Renji had to agree, and he wondered why Hitsugaya kept Rangiku as second-in-command of the 10th division. Sure, the red-head liked Rangiku, but he knew how irresponsible she could be. "You can just set the report on my desk, Abarai."

Renji nodded and did so, placing the paper neatly on the side. He then stood there silently, waiting for something.

At this point, Hitsugaya stopped his scribbling and turned his gaze to the lieutenant.

"Do you have something else to discuss with me?" He asked, his eyebrows slightly drawn together. He was tired and still had much work to do.

"Ah, well," The red-head started, suddenly blushing in embarrassment. He hadn't meant to stare at the other, but he had and now he had to answer him. "Rangiku told me... that the other day, a man came onto you..."

Hitsugaya's expression did not change.

"And?"

Renji looked down at his feet and scratched the back of his head.

"And... uh, well, what did you think of it?" Oh god, he felt so stupid. The captain full-out glared at him this time, and the lieutenant bit his tongue.

"I don't think that is any of your business, Abarai. Why are you asking?"

Renji couldn't remember where he was going with this, so he ended up rambling.

"Well I was jus' thinkin' that, well, I've never heard anything about you, uh, getting together with someone so I thought that, y'know, it's really stressful to be a captain, or at least I think it must be, and I was just wanting to tell ya that if you need anyone to help you relax a bit-"

"Abarai. Leave."

Renji was gone within a second.

Four days later, Renji was pretty much over the whole ordeal. So he screwed up. It isn't like he wanted anything from Hitsugaya other than a fuck. Still, it was embarrassing. He assumed that the small Shinigami had said nothing of the matter to anyone, as Renji had heard nothing from anyone else about his offer.

The red-head hadn't even caught a glimpse of Hitsugaya in those few days, but this was not uncommon. Even as a leiutenant, Renji could go weeks without coming into contact with certain captains. He was previously only grateful of this little fact because of Kurotsuchi (god that creep freaked him out), but now he was glad that he wouldn't have to face Hitsugaya for a while. Hopefully.

Then again, fate didn't like Renji very much.

"Oi, Renji!"

Oh no, that voice-

"H-Hey, Rangiku!" He said cheerily as he turned around to face the busty woman. With her hand in the air, she grinned at him and glided closer, an annoyed captain following her. The nervous lieutenant kept his eyes to Matusmoto, not even daring a peak at Hitsugaya as the two stood before him.

"Matsumoto, we don't have time for this," The snowy-haired man grumbled, looking at the woman with disapproval. Renji did not notice when blue eyes slid over to him.

"Lighten up, taichou!" She giggled. "Anyway, Renji! Have you heard about Shuhei and Kira?"

Renji thought for a minute and then realized that no, he hadn't heard anything recently about Shuhei and Kira. "Did they finally, um, get together?" The red-head had to be wary of what words he used around the captains. Rangiku pouted a little.

"How did you know?" Renji only chuckled and shot a quick glance to Hitsugaya. Finding that the small captain was looking at him, his brown eyes darted back to Rangiku.

"It's kinda obvious that Kira has a thing for Shuhei..." He replied, his face feeling hot. Rangiku shrugged and said a quick, "Okay, well see ya around!" before her captain could scold her for wasting time again. She and Hitsugaya walked passed Renji, but of course the Zabimaru-wielding lieutenant had to open his mouth.

"Uh, Hitsugaya-taichou?" He called and turned around to look at the other male. Said captain stopped and turned his face towards the other, saying nothing but waiting for him to go on. Renji licked his lips nervously and looked at his feet. "Ah, well... I'm sorry for... what I said the other day..." He finished quietly, sneaking a peak up at the stoic captain.

Hitsugaya only nodded at him and continued on his way.

A week later, while both Renji and his captain were in their conjoined offices, Hitsugaya arrived before Byakuya.

"Kuchiki-taichou, I have a favor to ask of you and your lieutenant."

Twenty feet away, Renji looked up from his paperwork and listened intently. Byakuya nodded at the smaller captain, signaling for him to continue.

"Earlier today, the Shinigami Research Institution returned the Human Trafficking report to me, claiming that more information was needed on the subject. I have already questioned my lieutenant about this, but it seems that Abarai knows more about the subject than she does. I was hoping that I would be able to speak with Abarai soon, so that I can modify the report. Is this alright, Kuchiki-taichou?"

A short silence followed.

"It is rare that reports are sent back," Byakuya replied.

"Yes," Hitsugaya said.

Renji raised a dark eyebrow, still watching the exchange.

After a moment, Byakuya said, "Once he finishes today's paperwork, I will send Abarai to your quarters."

"Thank you, Kuchiki-taichou."

Brown eyes followed the small Shinigami as he left, and didn't miss the glance thrown his way.

Standing, once again, in front of Hitsugaya's office doors, Renji swallowed nervously. Spending any time alone with the small captain, despite the reason being to rewrite a report, would be nerve-racking for him. Before he announce his arrival, the paper door was slid open suddenly.

"You may come in, Abarai," Hitsugaya announced, barely sparing the other a glance before he turned and walked further into his office. The red-head followed him without hesitation.

"Sorry about the report, Hitsugaya-taichou..." Renji began quietly after a moment of silence. His acquaintance said nothing to this and instead walked to a wooden door that stood a few feet from his desk. Renji knew that the room that the door led to was for captains to use as they pleased, and wondered what the captain was going to retrieve. As the boyish Shinigami aproached it, however, he beckoned for the lieutenant to follow.

Upon entering the small room, Renji quickly noted two things. One, the room only consisted of a bed. Two, Hitsugaya was shrugging off his haori.

"Uhm, Hitsugaya-taichou?" The red-head nearly squeaked, his mind jumping to dirty conclusions.

"Close the door, Abarai," The captain commanded, his voice soft. Renji nodded, even though Hitsugaya's back was turned towards him, and did as told. His palms began to feel sweaty. After throwing his haori to the side, the short captain turned to look Renji dead in the eye. Both of their cheeks were flaming. "You offered me something a couple of weeks ago. You remember, Abarai?"

This couldn't be happening. The red-head couldn't help but notice, once again, how pretty Hitsugaya's lips looked. "Yes, sir," He finally murmured, watching the others expression carefully. The captain continued to look embarrassed, yet somehow determined.

"Yes, well, I've been having thoughts about it... and I'm sure you know what I'm leading up to," The snowy-haired captain said with a sigh, now removing the top half of his kimino. Brown eyes followed the material as it fell off of thin shoulders. His torso now completely bare, Hitsugaya warned, "You may not speak of this to anyone."

Renji didn't think twice about nodding his head. He'd carry this to his grave if only he could indulge just once in this act. The red-head could feel his heart pounding. Was Hitsugaya really going to give himself to the lieutenant?

It seemed very possible, since the teal-eyed Shinigami was now stepping out of his hakama. Renji ached. He had never seen this much of the boyish captain who now only stood in his fundoshi. In the dim room, where only a single cieling light shined, Hitsugaya's ivory skin called out to Renji. So the red-head finally acted.

Only two inches shy of being two feet taller than the young captain, Renji towered over him as he lightly gripped his shoulders. Hitsugaya's own heart started to quicken as he breathed in the red-head's scent which reminded him of cinnamon. The lieutenant watched the captain's face as he lightly ran his large hands over thin but strong arms, loving the feel of the others skin. While Renji was no virgin, but it had been a while since he had shared intimate contact with another person, and he was determined to enjoy every minute of time with Hitsugaya.

The captain licked his lips, enjoying Renji's rough hands on his skin. Those hands moved to caress his back and Hitsugaya arched toward the lieutenant slightly, letting out a sharp breath. The red-head bit his lip at this, feeling his temperature rise from Hitsugaya's bare chest brushing against him. Wanting more of the captain's warmth, Renji moved himself closer, his arms encircling the small body in front of him. Startled, Hitsugaya stilled, his head pressed against the others chest. The red-head felt this and drew away from the young captain, fearing that the other was having second thoughts.

But Hitsugaya missed his touch instantly, and smirked lightly up at the lieutenant, moving his hands to the fold in Renji's kimino.

"I thought you would set a faster pace, Abarai," The teal-eyed captain teased, sliding the top half of Renji's uniform off of his body.

"I'm full of surprises," The red-head joked, feeling a bit prideful when the smaller Shinigami stared unabashedly at his newly-revealed chest. Hitsugaya used his eyes to trace the intricate tattoos that adorned Renji's torso. They seemed to travel below his hakama and the boyish Shinigami felt something stir inside him. Renji was watching those bright eyes and so he started to pull down the lower half of his kimino.

Hitsugaya looked away, embarrassed as he heard the dark clothing hit the floor. But then Renji's fingers were under his chin and his head was turned back toward the lieutenant.

"Look at me, taichou," The red-head whispered and Hitsugaya did so, his member giving a throb when he noticed that the other had also taken off his fundoshi. The tall Shinigami was completely naked before him, and Hitsugaya was burning up.

The tan body was adorned with lean muscles and dark ink. The tattoos traveled all over his arms, legs, and torso, stopping just above Renji's dark pubic hair. Swallowing thickly, Hitsugaya looked at the notable size of Renji's member and once again he felt his own cock throb. And then big hands were on his hips, yanking down the remainder of his clothing and Hitsugaya shivered. The small captain watched the brown eyes as they took in everything before them, and he had to force himself to stand tall and not to cover his private regions. Suddenly, a large hand was wrapped around his member and Hitsugaya gasped.

"Heh, sorry. You don't mind if I touch you here, do ya?" The baritone of Renji's voice caused the captain to shake his head, his whole body feeling hot. The lieutenant's hand was warm and satisfying, slowly dragging up and down until Hitsugaya was gyrating his hips into the welcomed touch. The red-head felt his mouth water as he watched Hitsugaya's eyes close in pleasure.

"Does this feel okay?" He asked softly, just to hear the others voice.

"Yes," Hitsugaya breathed. Renji's large experienced hand was much more satisfying than his own could ever be. He gasped when the lieutenant closed the remaining distance between and nuzzled his snowy hair. The big hand had stilled on his cock as there was no room to move it, Hitsugaya's dick touching Renji's thigh now. The small Shinigami could feel the other's own arousal against his abdomen and he opened his eyes to gaze at the man who was being so intimate with him.

"C'mon, I want you against the wall, taichou," The red-head whispered, pulling away from the captain's heat. Big blue eyes locked on his and Renji nearly purred at the lust swimming in the oceanic color. Hitsugaya could not resist the man who ignited such an intense feeling within him. The small Shinigami couldn't believe that they were only just beginning.

"Abarai... ngh!" Hitsugaya groaned lowly, placing his head on his forearms that rested against the wall. With his legs spread and his back facing the lieutenant, the captain felt incredibly vulnerable. But it didn't really matter because the red-head was sucking at his shoulder and caressing his hip and, oh fuck yes, fisting his cock. Renji's scorching mouth traveled down his back, each suck and kiss and bite causing the captain to gasp and moan and shout out.

Renji thought for sure he could come without even being touched, those noises and reactions and the way Hitsugaya's skin felt against his own... The captain even tasted sinful and the red-head couldn't tear his lips away from that ivory skin.

The lieutenant bent down on his knees and he felt his balls tighten just at the sight he was met with. Renji had fucked a couple of guys in his lifetime, but none with an ass like Hitsugaya's. Swallowing thickly, he continued to jerk the captain off, slowing his pace so that the other wouldn't climax too soon. Dragging his hand away from a warm hip, he used it instead to descend somewhat harshly onto the soft skin of the captain's rear, a light smack sounding through the room.

The small Shinigami gasped and quickly whirled his head around, looking over his shoulder and down at the lieutenant who dared to spank him, but couldn't quite glare at him because Renji's hand was still on his dick, making him feel so euphoric that he nearly went cross-eyed.

"A-Abarai," He tried to scold the other, but his name came out as a whimper and the captain realized just how close to the edge he was feeling. "Fuck!" He gasped, feeling his orgasm quickly approaching. Biting his tongue, Hitsugaya quickly placed a hand on Renji's wrist, bringing the friction to a halt. Breathing heavily, the captain tried to gather himself, but then the devilish lieutenant nipped at one of his cheeks and Hitsugaya groaned.

"You like to torture yourself or something, Hitsugaya-taichou? You were about to come but you stopped me," Renji stated, admiring the red mark he had just placed on the others ass. The captain felt a bit embarrassed, not wanting to admit that he'd rather wait to orgasm during a more, ahem, exciting part of their... whatever this was. So Hitsugaya said nothing and took his hand off of Renji's arm, silently telling him that he could continue. But the red-head removed his hand from the Shinigami's member and instead placed it on a firm cheek, and the small captain exhaled sharply because the larger male was spreading him apart and he felt so exposed. "Spread your legs a little more, please, taichou."

Hitsugaya had an idea of what was about to happen, and he wasn't sure how he would react to it, but his foot slid over a bit anyways, giving the red-head an even more splendid view of the captain's puckered entrance.

"Ah!" The younger man shouted when Renji pressed his face against his skin and tongued his hole lightly. The pressure wasn't enough to let the lieutenant inside, but he wasn't aiming for that just yet. The red-head swirled his wet tongue all around Hitsugaya's sensitive entrance, pleasuring his nerve endings and causing the small Shinigami to groan obscenely. Renji was aching to fuck the captain, but couldn't get enough of the sensual music that Hitsugaya created from his very own swollen lips. The snowy-haired Shinigami was losing his mind, not able to keep his hips from rocking into that pleasurable mouth and Renji gripped his hips to steady him as his tongue prodded his hole.

"Fuck..." It came out as a whine and Hitsugaya squeezed his eyes shut because Renji was fucking him with his tongue and it felt amazing.

Minutes later, the small captain's back was pressed against the soft sheets of his bed and the lieutenant was towering over him.

"Try and relax, Hitsugaya-taichou," Renji advised as his lubed finger circled the Shinigami's already abused hole. The teal-eyed captain nodded, his cheeks red and lips wet and Renji had the urge to splatter that arousing face with his cum. His finger inched in slowly and Hitsugaya took a shuddering breath, willing himself not to tense up. The slow friction was nice against his sensitive walls, but the stretching was uncomfortable. The red-head knew this and placed his free hand around the other's neglected swollen cock, and Hitsugaya let out a half-hearted moan, encouraging his partner to continue.

Within a few tense moments, Renji had three large fingers spreading open the aroused captain and his fist continued to pump his pulsing dick. Snowy hair was matted to Hitsugaya's forehead and his mouth was parted to allow his groans to escape as he eagerly moved against those fingers. They were rubbing his prostate and the two Shinigami were nearly drooling; The captain from the pleasure and the leiutenant from the sight of his fingers being sucked into the tight hole.

"O-Okay, I think you're ready," Renji breathed, his voice shaking because even he was started to feel light-headed. The dizzying heat and the smell of sex and the sounds of delicious moans were slowly driving him insane. Hitsugaya was barely coherent but his cock was still aching and so he swallowed and nodded.

The red-head lubed his dick with his spit and he fisted himself for a moment, just staring at his soon-to-be lover before he took hold of the captain's legs, swinging them up and resting against his large body so that the Hitsugaya's ankles were crossed behind the lieutenant's neck. Renji exhaled slowly and guided his member to the small Shinigami's entrance, groaning as the head pressed against the puckered hole. Hitsugaya fisted the sheets and bit his lip, watching Renji as the other slowly pushed inside.

"Wait! S-Stop!" The teal-eyed captain suddenly cried out, stopping the red-head dead in his thrusting. Renji's blunt head felt so much larger than his fingers, and before even an inch was inside of him, Hitsugaya felt as if he were tearing. The lieutenant pulled out, biting his tongue because his hips were screaming at him to fuck the captain despite his pain. Hitsugaya panted softly, trying to calm himself and wondering if he should just tell the red-head to leave. Renji seemed to know where his thoughts were heading and so he lowered himself down until his chest was nearly touching the captain's and those small legs had to settle around his hips.

Then their lips touched almost shyly, just a simple brush before the red-head pulled away. Their first kiss. Hitsugaya's stomach tightened and he wrapped his thin arms around Renji's neck, gripping some of his long hair and he pushed the lieutenant down. Their lips met again but this time they were pressed tightly to each other and the captain opened his mouth for the other and Renji's tongue touched his own. The red-head groaned, pulling away and tilting his head for a better angle before kissing his lover again, their tongues sliding against each other roughly. When they pulled away their lips were swollen and red and wet, and Hitsugaya licked his abused lips as Renji's hot breath fanned against his face.

"Let's try this again, please, Hitsugaya-taichou, but now you'll be the one in control."

"Comfortable?"

Hitsugaya nodded, his hands braced against his parted thighs and his back molded against Renji's chest. The captain wanted to face the other as he rode him, but knew that this position would be the easiest for him. Renji gripped his hips, keeping the other steady above his erect member and he blew cool hair on Hitsugaya's nape, causing the other to gasp. Both of them were frustrated at being hard for so long, but the red-head waited patiently for the captain to move.

The small Shinigami exhaled slowly and then lowered himself slowly, gritting his teeth when his entrance met Renji's head once more.

"Keep going, taichou, it will get easier," Renji said reassuringly, his fingertips caressing the smooth hips on his grip. Hitsugaya nodded again, forcing himself down a bit more, clamping his eyes shut and taking in Renji's thick cock. The red-head groaned wantonly at the feeling of his dick being squeezed so tightly by the captain's smooth walls, and the heat was becoming unbearable for both of them.

"Ngh," Hitsugaya moaned once his skin finally met Renji's thighs, fully seated on the others cock. He felt so entirely full, the feeling new and nearly overbearing. But the red-head kept still and whispered dirty things in his ear, causing his weeping dick to harden more.

"So fucking good, Hitsugaya-taichou. You feel amazing, so hot and soft and tight. Mmm, I love your ass and can't wait to fill you up with cum," Renji whispered, grinning and sweating from the vice around the most sensitive part of his body and he wanted nothing more to fuck the captain stupid.

The small Shinigami wanted this, too, and he rose himself up and let gravity do the work, his rear slapping against strong thighs and they both cried out at the impact.

"Shit," Renji said, his balls tight and he stilled the other before Hitsugaya could move again. "Give me a minute," He whispered, not yet wanting to blow his load. He nipped the small Shinigami's shoulder and laved it wet with his tongue, causing the other to shudder in pleasure. After a moment, Renji lifted Hitsugaya off of his dick, making the captain gasp, and he slammed him back down.

"Fuck!" Hitsugaya cried out, the friction against his sensitive nerve endings making his temperature rise even more. Renji moaned lowly before repeated the act but thrusting up to meet the other head-on, cursing as he was sucked back into that delicious heat.

The captain rested his head against the lieutenant's shoulders and let his body go limp, giving control to the red-head and Renji took it, bouncing him on his dick again and again. Hitsugaya could feel drool slipping down his chin but couldn't care since his prostate was being hit with nearly each powerful thrust, and incoherent noises escape his parted mouth. Renji was whispering in his ear again, breathless and filthy words falling from his lips and Hitsugaya was sure that he would go insane.

All of a sudden Renji stopped his thrusting, though, and the captain lifted his head, confused, but then he was being shoved face-first into the bed. He turned his head and glanced back at the red-head, his hands now on either side of his head and he tried to lift himself up, but Renji kept a firm hand on his back.

"No, this position is better," The other said, his voice hoarse and an almost sadistic gleam in his eye. He took hold of the others hips once again and rose the other onto his knees while his upper body continued to lay against the bed. With just his ass in the air, Hitsugaya felt embarrassed and overly-exposed, but then Renji was rubbing his dick between his cheeks and the captain groaned.

The red-head licked his lips, thrusting lightly and letting his cock glide over the captain's abused, twitching entrance. Once he felt that he had made the Shinigami suffer enough, he aligned his cock and pushed in all the way in one single thrust. He moaned in utter pleasure and Hitsugaya cried out, biting his lip. Renji pulled out just as quickly and said,

"You want it?" At this, Hitsugaya nearly growled and said nothing, dignity gone but still he was too prideful to ask for this. The red-head smirked and kept his hips still, removing a hand from the others hip so that he could press his finger against the captain's puckered entrance. He slowly slid it in, rubbing minutely at the others prostate, knowing that it would be enough. Hitsugaya groaned, rocking back against that large finger that was nothing compared to the cock he had been bouncing on, but then Renji chuckled and pulled away his digit.

"Damnit Abarai, fuck me!"

Renji had wanted a 'please', but he was more than ready to cum and so he gripped both hips once more and smacked his hips into the captains, causing the other to shout in ecstasy. The pace was fast from the get-go and he fucked the captain as hard as he could without breaking the other in half and obscenities were falling from both of their lips. Their sweat-slickened bodies moved against each other with surprising force and the bed was creaking below them.

"Touch yourself, Hitsugaya," Renji breathed and said captain could barely think but he managed to wrap a small hand around his aching shaft. He jerked himself as the lieutenant slammed into his prostate mercilessly, and with a shout the Hitsugaya was coming, his body shuddering and cum spurting from his dick.

"Fuck yes..." The red-head breathed and he forced his shaft back into that suddenly too-tight body and he was coming too, his hips rocking back and forth as he kept his word and filled the other with his seed. Hitsugaya quivered at the odd feeling but was way to spent to care. He was in euphoria.

The next day, when Renji walked into his shared office, Byakuya asked the red-head,

"Was there any problems with modifying the report?"

"Huh? Oh! Um, no, everything went great," Renji replied, a wide grin spreading across his face. His captain immediately noticed how relaxed and happy he seemed, but Byakuya only nodded and said nothing else on the matter.

A/N: Sorry about the ending. I wasn't sure what to do with it. Oh, and I am bad at transitioning between scenes, so that is why there are a billion line breaks. Weak writer is weak. x-x

And sorry about the set-up. This is really just intended to be a PWP smut one-shot, but I felt like I needed to write a bit of back story to it. I know it's very out of character for Hitsugaya to just jump into bed with a near-stranger, but well, maybe we can just pretend that he would in the right circumstances.

Anyway, hope you at least somewhat enjoyed this!
