Argh, another short one. Anyway, this should have been up earlier *sigh* Dumb internet connection.
Written for the Bleach Romances Contest. Pairing: Rangiku Matsumoto x Momo Hinamori
The italics are Matsumoto's thoughs, if you're curious.
"Come on Hinamori, just one sip!" It was all she'd need really, Momo was terrible with alcohol.
"I'm fine, maybe another time, eh Matsumoto-san?" Momo answered softy, her sleep-deprived eyes downcast and dull. It broke Rangiku's heart sometimes to see this young flower so depressed, the people she most cared about refusing to help her.
You're not fine Momo, but neither am I.
"Alright, fine have you're spoil-sport way," Rangiku said with an exadurated sigh and huff.
Momo smiled apologetically, she didn't mean to disappoint Rangiku, but she had to stay strong for Captain Aizen, drowning her sorrows wouldn't be right, besides, this was part of some elaborate plan to save Soul Society, Momo was sure. Aizen would never turn his back on this world for the pitiful Hollows, nor would he willingly create these horrible Arrancar.
So delusional. Momo, I'm sorry, but you need this.
Waiting until Momo's eyelids slid for that single moment where sleep would begin to overtake her, Rangiku slid across the table, tipping the contents of her own drink into Momo's, it was just dregs anyway, but it would be enough. She was back in her place idly refilling her cup by the time Momo opened her eyes.
"Oh, sorry, I must have nodded off for a second," Momo said, her smile strained as she scratched the back of her head embarrassedly.
"It's fine~ Tell you what, why don't we finish our drinks, then I'll walk you home," Rangiku offered with a brilliant smile to which Momo's became less strained as she nodded, downing the rest of her 'water' and Rangiku her sake.
"Let's go."
Momo wasn't sure how it happened, only that it was and she loved it. Her arms were wrapped around Matsumoto's neck, her lips exploring the sake-lined inside of Rangiku's mouth.
Rangiku felt guilty for spiking the drink, but it was for the best she told herself, one arm around Hinamori's waist, the other travelling up and down the smaller girls side, unsure how far she could go, even if she had gotten the girl drunk, she wouldn't take complete advantage. They just needed a little release, that was all this was she told her thumping heart as Momo untangled their lips and began nipping and sucking at Rangiku's collar-bone eliciting a moan from the other female.
Just an escape from the pain of a man's world.
