AN: I do not own Bleach. Nor do I completely own the idea for this story. It is a collaboration between me and charliechick. enjoy ^_^
The halls of the shinigami academy were poorly lit for this time of the day. Or night as it were. Gin and Tousen, unbeknown to all of those around them, had been high school sweethearts. At this particular time they happened to be returning from one of the best nights of their lives so far. Little did they know that one small thing would change their lives from that night on.
You may be thinking that perhaps they went 'all the way'. But no, that was not the case.
Earlier that night a malevolent spirit had snuck into their dormitory to spy out the things that they did when they returned from their dates. Currently, he was holed up in the communal closet. He found it very comfortable, thankyou very much. When they arrived in their room they noticed that something was very out of place. There was an unusual spiritual presence lingering in the room.
"Hey Tousen, have you had any guests that I don't know about?"
"Of course not my beloved Gin! You know my heart only belongs to you!"
"Yeah, I know… You say it all the time…"
QWERTY
Meanwhile, deep within the realms of the high school closet, Aizen was feeling a little put out.
"I come all the way in here, and hide myself in their stinky closet, and all they can do is to spout mush at each other."
He grinned evilly.
"I'll show them mush!" (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
QWERTY
Sitting innocently on their bed, Tousen and Gin had no warning of the ill that was about to befall them. Slowly the closet door creaked open, and from within stepped their upperclassman: AIZEN SOUSKE!!! He was dressed in what looked like nothing more than a bathrobe.
"Um Aizen? What are you doing?" Tousen asked.
Aizen stood in a very suggestive stance.
"This is my-" He paused dramatically. "BANKAI!!"
With that last word, he flung his bathrobe open, revealing…the wonder of his garmentless body.
"OM MY GOSH!" Cried Tousen. "IT BURNS, MY PRECIOUS EYEBALLS!!! THEY BURN!!"
Thinking of nothing but his lover's well being, Tousen covered Gin's eyes with his hands.
QWERTY
Hours later Tousen and Gin came to in fourth division. Captain Unohana stood in front of them looking very concerned.
"I'm afraid that I have terrible news for you both. Tousen, your eyesight has been irreversibly taken from you."
Tousen cried out in despair.
"NO!!! My sight! I can no longer gaze upon the face of my beloved!"
Unohana was slightly disturbed by this proclamation, but continued nonetheless.
"Gin, I'm afraid that your news is not much better. From now on, you will never be able to properly open your eyes again for fear that you will relive your traumatic experience and lose your sight all together."
Gin smiled and the wind changed, forever freezing his face in his characteristic grin.
And that my friends, is the tragic story of how Gin and Tousen became the men that they are today.
