~~ Hitsugaya's Confession ~~
About 10 Years after the Winter War was over, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto grew closer, because of both of their loses, Hitsugaya had lost Hinamori and Matsumoto lost Gin, because of this they had became Best Friends, when they were both in the office they would silently transmit messages to each other.
They would also know what the other wanted done without having to say a thing. Hitsugaya had also started to notice little changes about his Lieutenant, like her appearance, and those not-so-awkward silences between them, but most importantly that special smile that she reserved just for him...
Hitsugaya didn't know what he felt every time he saw her smile, until it finally clicked.... He Loved her....
On a Warm sunny day, Hitsugaya was sat at his desk working on a large stack of paperwork; he'd just about got through about 3/4 worth of it by starting at about 5am. He sat back in his chair and glanced at Rangiku who was idly flicking through a magazine that she got from the World of the Living on their last visit.
It was known all through the Serieitei that Hitsugaya and Matsumoto called each other by their first names, that's how close they were, they were the Best of Friends ... or even an undiscovered couple in the making ...
"Rangiku do you think that you can tear yourself away from that damn thing and actually help with the Paperwork?"he grumbled, he had done all of his paperwork for the next 3 days, but Rangiku's was still sat on the coffee table waiting to be completed.
Rangiku looked up at him, and smiled knowingly, the only reason why he would actually ask her to do the paperwork is if he was really annoyed at her, and that was her punishment, or he grew tired of his own and hers.
~Come on Mistress, Hyourimaru's just told me that he's been here all morning, at least do a bit of it ....~ Haineko purred in her head, Matsumoto signed and get up from her desk, and strode over the Hitsugaya's desk, with her hands on her hips. She had a look of sympathy on her face, which masked her small smile that crept along her features.
"Exactly how much have you done to ....
A. Make you actually ask me - Because as far as I know ... I haven't done anything wrong Or... B. To give me that tired look ... as if your about to fall asleep any second?"
Hitsugaya sighed, looking up at her he gave her that rare, small, yet noticeable smile, which he only reserved for her, as he shook his hand to rid himself of cramp.
"Enough to last me a couple of days .... But I haven't done any of yours - which by the way you're actually meant to do yourself ... that's why I'm asking for you help.... and yes I am tired I've been here since 5am ..."
~See ... DO I EVER LIE TO YOU! ~ Haineko hissed in her head
'OK ... OK Haineko Chill ... I'll help him on one condition ....'
~And this would be? ~
'You stop bugging me about it ... and go see Hyourimaru ....'
The Hellcat sighed and stalked off, with her words echoing through Rangiku's head ~Fine.... but you owe me for this ....~
"Rangiku!" Hitsugaya waved a hand in her face
"Huh? ... oh Sorry Toushiro ... did you say something??" She smiled nervously
"Yes I did say something ... I think about 3 times .... I said are you going to help me with the paperwork or not?" He sighed in desperation; he knew that Haineko was as bad as Hyourimaru, randomly popping up for a chat when they felt like it.
"Um Yes I'll help, seeing as it's just mine that need to be done ...."
Hitsugaya shook his hand again, all of the writing that he'd done had really taken a toll on his hand, he scrunched it up into a fist, clenching and unclenching it every-so-often, Rangiku noticed it, but thought nothing of it, she went over to the door that lead to the kitchen to get a drink. As she got to the door she paused and looked back
"Would you like a drink or anything while I'm here?"
"Ah no thanks Rangiku, I've only just finished my last ...." came his reply, he walked over the door and lent on the frame. "You know ... I would help, it's just my hand hurts at the moment ...."
Hitsugaya stretched out his back as he watched Rangiku make her drink.
"It's OK honest ..." She glanced over her shoulder and smiled it him. Hitsugaya returned her smile then left her to finish making her drink. He stopped by the window to look out at the suns rays which were dancing over the rooftop of the neighboring Squad 9.
Rangiku picked up her cup and left the kitchen area. Rangiku made her way over the sofa and coffee table in the center of the office, where her paperwork sat. She placed her cup down on the table then, she sat down with her back to Hitsugaya. She reached over to take the first piece of paper from the top of the pile and started work on it. After a few moments she put her pen down and glanced over at Hitsugaya - who was still staring out of the window - and smiled again. "You know Toushiro ..." She said as she looked back at the work in her hand, "there isn't really that much work here, so I think I'll be ok doing by myself, you can go have a break if you want ....."
A small laugh then escaped him as he lent against the windows frame. He watched her look over the work and write on the paper, he had gotten used to watching her from a far so that his feelings towards her weren't shown and perhaps rejected by her - that was his biggest fear. As he watched her a small yet simple thought crossed his mind, Rangiku NEVER did Paperwork.
"Who are you and what have you done with Rangiku?"
Rangiku stared at him, before bursting out laughing. "Toushiro ... it's still me ... I just actually feel like doing some work today ....", 'And not because Haineko was nagging me to help you'She added silently in her head. Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes at her then sighed. "Well you certainly wouldn't say that if your drinking buddies came round with an offer of free Sake, or you just so happen to "bump" into Yumichika or Kira for a chat ...."
"Toushiro!! ... You're Mean.... I don't do that all the time~.... and the one day I actually don't argue about doing the paperwork... you say all of those reasons not too .... I can do paperwork when ever I want ... I just choose not too.... unlike today" She whined, then folded her arms and turned away from him with her eyes closed. Hitsugaya pushed off from the wall and silently walked over to her, until he blocked the sun's rays from her view; he was almost tempted to poke her, just to get her to look at him. Instead he rested his arms on the back of the sofa, holding his chin up with his knuckles.
"Well that'll be the first then Rangiku ... but then again stranger things have happened ..."
Hitsugaya could help but noticed the exposed part of her neck. He stood up straight, poked her lightly in on the neck, even so slightly tickling it. He grinned as he watched her squirm under the touch. He had found out a couple of years earlier that this was the only spot on her neck that was ticklish.
"Hm ...... it does get boring within this room all day doesn't it?"
She sighed, 'Finally you've noticed how boring it is in the office! .... Even if I'm shearing the office with the man I lov-.... Hold On ... Did I just say that!!! ......... HAINEKO!'
The Hellcat stalked into her sub-conscious ~Yes Mistress? ~
~'Help! .... I nearly just said that I loved Toushiro!'~
Haineko just stared at her ~You just shouted to tell me that!?!?~
~'Well .... Yeah.... what do I do? I know I have feelings for him, but not in that way do I?'~
~WELL I DON'T KNOW!, it's you heart not mine, I may be apart of you but I don't know how some of your heart works.....~
Rangiku Mentally sighed ~'I'm sorry Haineko, I don't mean to dump this on you ... I just don't know if what I'm feeling is similar to when I loved G-'~, She couldn't bring herself to say the name of her former best friend and traitor to the Serieitei.
~Well Ran-Chan.... only you can answer that question, Not me, not Hyourimaru, You! ~
~"Thanks Haineko ....."~
~Your Welcome ...~ at that the Hellcat vanished from her mind.
Soooo .... What's did you think???
