Author's Note: Hi, me again. This is the 3rd of the 100 words stories that I will be doing. 97 stories left to go! Fun... lol, I'll try my best to write the stories as fast as I possibly can and get them on here asap, but it depends how quickly my beta gets back to me. She actually forgot to beta my story when I sent it to her, I had to badger her about it to get her to actually beta my story, so that's why this one is a little later than the others. Expect longer gaps between them now as I've got to write 97 stories in addition to geography coursework and whatever else I get piled on me. I'll do my best though.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, Tite Kubo does.
Matsumoto sighed. There were never enough hours in the day anymore. She remembered a time when she was carefree and never had to worry about paperwork. Now, she had stacks of paperwork in front of her and she could never get enough sleep. She couldn't really complain though, her Taichou always did most of the work, and even now as she snuck a glance at him from behind the stacks of paperwork, he was working hard, oblivious to her presence.
"Matsumoto?" Toshiro's voice broke the concentrated silence in the room.
"Hai, Taichou?" She looked over at him, a little concerned.
"Do you think you'd be able to finish up here?" He asked, stifling a yawn. She nodded.
"You go home and get some rest, Taichou. There's not that much left to do" She smiled and he nodded.
"See you tomorrow" he gathered up his things and left.
On her way home, Matsumoto spotted the white-haired Taichou, staggering a little from exhaustion and she rushed to him to help him. She scooped him into her arms and was surprised at how light he was. He looked up at her, his eyes half open.
"Matsumoto..." He said sleepily.
"Shh, Taichou. You rest, okay?" She smiled and he nodded, closing his eyes, giving in to sleep.
The next morning, Toshiro slowly opened his emerald eyes and saw the sleeping face of his vice captain. His eyes widened in shock as she tightened her grip on him in her sleep and pulled him closer. She mumbled something inaudible and rested her head on his.
She's actually quite cute when she's asleep Toshiro couldn't help thinking, before mentally slapping himself. What am I thinking?! She's my drunken vice captain! She's not cute.
She slowly opened her eyes, and pale blue met emerald green. She blushed and immediately pulled back to see Toshiro watching her.
"T-taichou! Um... good morning" She said nervously, wondering what was going on in Toshiro's mind.
"It's okay, Matsumoto, I'm not angry at you so don't worry" He stated matter-of-factly. She breathed an audible sigh of relief.
"Sorry about this, Taichou. Ordinarily, I would've escorted you back to your house, but my one was closer and you kinda fell asleep in my arms and I only have one bedroom..." Rangiku explained.
"It's okay." He got up, still dressed in the previous day's clothes. "See you at work" He flash stepped off.
