Title: Snapdragon
Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: Gin x Rangiku
Summary: Rangiku looks at flowers; ones that reminds her of him and his deceit. The same ones that reminds her of what they used to be.
A/N: I was looking at flower meaning the other day and I thought I would make a series of Bleach drabbles based on flower meanings. Snapdragon means deceit. I guess this one can be seen as a side story to my "Winter Sonata". Credits to http / www . flowersociety . com / flower-meanings . html

Perhaps he never meant to betray me; yet by betraying me, he betrayed us. The term 'us' that once existed so many years ago was sketched into my memories, my heart.
I remembered the times when we'd circle around the fields, hand in hand. I remembered the times when we would smile for no reason, laugh for no reason, and hold hands for no reason. We never needed any reason to be with each other.
But here I am; desperate to once again find you. Perhaps you're still there; going in circles, lost beneath the tall grasses of the fields. Beneath the flowers and the stars; and deep within these memories.
You've given me a chance; you've given me hope. But I never gave anything. I was just there; with you and beside you. You once said that was enough for you.
Was it really?
You gave me a flower; I gave you a kiss. Was it enough?
We grew, and soon those tall grasses became nothing but hindrances to our steps, those flowers became crushed. They became forgotten. And yet now I walk into this field of snapdragons; to find you.
Someone once said it meant betrayal; the folds of every step; the hiding hindrances. Was I such a hindrance?
The flowers grew smaller in our eyes; 'we' faded along with the height of our careers. And perhaps you've forgotten; that I still remember that I still wait if you'll someday come again to hold my hand. For no reason.
Return to me; and I will wait, beneath these stars and the snapdragons; who continues to shrink and fade, I will wait. Return to me; return and turn your betrayal away.
One once said that these flowers symbolized betrayal; I wonder if you knew.
I wonder if you tried to tell me. But you walked away; from me, leaving me with your deceit. But here I stay with your lies; here I lie with your thoughts, here I wonder within memories.
That once upon a time, there were two children playing between the snapdragon fields.
You left me. But I am waiting.
They would ask me what I was doing here, but I'd refuse to tell. They know I am waiting, but they too know that you'll never come. I know that too.
Is it wrong to hope?
You've once gave me hope. You've given me faith, and a hand to hold on to. That hand had drifted away; and I am caged. Caged between my heart and my duty.
I fear for you. Yet I fear you as well.
If the snapdragons never grew; and we never grew, perhaps we'd still be children, playing among the fields of deceit. Together.
Perhaps we will one day regret. I regret.
Until you return; once upon this day, there was one; who was once a child who played in these fields, who waited, alone for the boy to return.
A/N: Not bad for a 10 minutes work. Hee hee. It's still bad though, and I know it's OOC, I mean the way Rangiku was angsty. But perhaps even the happiest people should let it all out.
