Title: Hope pays off
Rating: I think this could be a K+. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anime/Manga: Bleach
Main Characters: Ichimaru Gin, Matsumoto Rangiku
Setting: Somewhere before the huge fight the manga is in right now?
Full description: Gin's betrayal was never focused on. It was all Aizen. Aizen's fuku-taichou was so sad. Aizen had us all fooled. Aizen, Aizen, AIZEN. Hitsugaya-taichou was always worried about Hinamori. I always had to comfort him. Has he never realized Gin's betrayal hurt me? Never realized I needed comforting? But… He's back. Gin's back. He… he came back for me. For us. For… For soul society. I've never had a religion, but thank you God. Thank you for bringing him back to me.
Disclaimer: Do I even NEED to do this? I don't own bleach or its characters, and they are Kubo Tite's awesome creations.
My mouth dropped open at the sight before me. Was… He was really back!
I felt myself getting dizzier, and I fell forward, my legs paralyzed. I waited for the blow I'd get from the cold, hard ground… But instead I was caught in a fluffy, warm and soft chest. Gin had caught me.
I lay my head in the crook of his neck, inhaling his scent. "You're back…" I whispered, not holding back the tears anymore. "You're really back!" I put my arms around his neck in a tight embrace, clinging on to him like it was for my dear life. "I could never leave you, Rangiku…" came the reply of my white-haired prince.
I felt him hug my tighter before I wiggled free, tears overflowing over my cheeks. I was happy, for the first time since… Forever.
I didn't care this was a taichou's meeting.
I didn't care all the taichou's were looking.
I didn't care Hitsugaya-taichou looked shocked, finally realizing I was Gin's Hinamori, and that he was my Hitsugaya.
All I cared for was the man in front of me.
"I-I… I thought you…"
"Rangiku…" he cooed my name softly, the usual grin on his face gone. "I could never leave you, Rangiku… Never."
I hugged him again, I couldn't help it.
"I hoped… I hoped… I never stopped…" I was sobbing. It was embarrassing, but I couldn't help it.
"Shh… Shh… Hope pays off, Rangiku… " he stroked my cheek as he said this, a smile gracing my lips.
He leaned forward to kiss away the tears on the cheeks, and a slight blush covered my cheeks. I felt like a little school girl.
"I love you, Rangiku."
With that, he leaned forward and kissed me. It was soft, sweet, and even a bit shy. Which was so unlike him… He didn't force anything. It wasn't lustful… it was the exact opposite of what you'd expect from just looking at him.
I didn't know what came over me. I was waiting for him to tell me that, to kiss me like that, yet… I stood up and walked away, knowing I made Gin frown. Why I did that… I don't know. Maybe it was all too much for me. Or maybe I was unsure of what to do.
Im in a writer's block. I was actually writing this before Nocturnal chapter 2, but stopped to finish Nocturnal chapters. I was originally going to make this longer, but I cant stand having a writer's block. So Im posting it now, as a sort of drabble, I suppose. Gin/Matsumoto. Ah, how I love that pairing. She walks away at the end... Yeah. Dont ask. Read the above and you'll figure it out. Anyway, don't expect another Nocturnal chapter until the block is cleared up. Oh, and I may be late, BUT HAPPY NEW YEARS.
