Chapter 2
"So, do you mind, Captain?" Rangiku stood in front of Toshiro's desk, as he looked up at her from his paperwork.
"So you're telling me you want me to come with you to Ichimaru's house tonight for a party??" Toshiro looked at his lieutenant suspiciously.
"Mm-hm." She nodded quickly. "I want you to get to know Gin better, so I thought this would be a great oppurtunity to do so!"
He looked down at his paperwork, as if doing so would make the whole party situation go away. "I...I suppose we could go for awhile."
"YAY! Thank you, captain! This is going to be SO much fun!" She ran over and gave her captain a big, lovable hug.
"Yeah, yeah." He then looked at Rangiku a bit timidly but looked away.
"Huh? What is it? Were you about to say something?"
"Well...it's kind of embarassing, but...what kind of thing do you wear to something like that?"
Rangiku smiled, "Hehe, you're so CUTE, captain! Don't worry! I'll help you pick out something nice!"
"Fair enough." He cleared his throat and shuffled through papers on his desk. He handed her a pile of papers. "Here. Do this paperwork, and only then will I follow through with going to this party."
"EH?! Captaaaain. You're such a buzzkill! Way to ruin a good mood!"
"Go along. Get it done with."
She grumbled sadly to herself as she walked to the other room. Toshiro scratched the back of his neck, a bit nervous about the party he was to go to that night.
About three hours later, Rangiku happily walked back into Toshiro's office and proudly placed the paperwork she completed on his desk. "There you go, Captain! Done!"
For a moment, he got a bit wide-eyed, due to the fact that Rangiku rarely finishes her paperwork. "Really now?" He looked over what she did. "Hm, I'm impressed. It's amazing how much that party tonight was motivation for you to finish this work."
Rangiku smiled widely, "Motivation is key! Now then..." She reached over her captain's desk and grabbed hold of his wrist. "Let's go grab you something to wear!" Without getting the chance to say anything, Rangiku pulled Toshiro upstairs to his room and brought him over to his closet. "Let's see what you have in here, captain!" She opened his closet and looked at the clothes he had inside. Toshiro quietly waited while she looked in his closet. He jumped when Rangiku yelled, "CAPTAIN!"
"Huh?! What? What is it?!"
She placed her hands on her hips and disappointedly looked at her captain. "All you have in here is, like...FORMAL stuff!"
He didn't know what to say to that, since he found having an abundance of formal clothing completely normal. "Well...uh...what do I do then??"
She sighed and looked back into his closet. "I guess I can help you spruce up some of these clothes then."
He gave her a confused look. "Er...spruce up?"
"You know. Like...fixing them up so they'll look cooler."
"Oh...ok. I guess that's alright."
Rangiku took out some articles of clothing he had hanging up in his closet. Toshiro found it amazing how Rangiku put an outfit together in no time at all, and it still looked pretty good. After she finished putting it together, he went to put it on.
"Okay, captain, come on out! Let's see how it looks!" Toshiro hesitantly opened the door and stepped out. Rangiku covered her mouth with her hands in order to hold in her gleeful shriek! "It's...It's PERFECT! Awwwww! Captain, you look so handsome!!!" She hugged him tightly, which caused his face to grow heated and red, which Rangiku was not aware of.
He looked at Rangiku, and replied, "So what are you going to wear then?"
"Oh, well I was hoping you'd help me with that!"
"Me??? But...I'm a guy. What do I know about clothes and crap like that?
"FASHION is not CRAP, captain. Now c'mon! Let's go to my room, and you can help me!"
"Ugh, fine fine. I'll do as much as I possibly can, which is probably just standing there."
"Good enough!" And once again, she pulled him with her towards her room. They reached her room, and she walked over to her bureau as Toshiro looked around her room, since he had never been inside it before. He looked at one of her small tables and noticed a picture of Gin and Rangiku together. Before he could say anything, Rangiku cut into his thoughts, "Captain, I really can't decide what to wear."
Toshiro turned around, about to suggest something, when he realized he was facing Rangiku merely in a bra and underwear. "M-M-Matsumoto?!" He jumped back, completely shocked. "Wh-What are you doing?! Get some clothes on, for god's sake!!!!"
Rangiku tilted her head, "What's the big deal?
"You're...You're indecent!" He covered his eyes with his hand. "You're practically naked!"
Rangiku laughed, "Hahahaha! Sorry! I didn't think you'd have a heart attack over it! If it makes you happy, I'll cover up with a bathrobe. Sheesh." She grabbed a bath robe and covered herself with it. "There. Better now?"
He uncovered his eyes and gave a relieved sigh. "Yeah. Much. Geez, Matsumoto, would you think before doing things like that?" Seeing his voluptuous lieutenant in her regular attire was showy enough, but seeing her in merely her under garments made Toshiro almost jump out of his skin. He couldn't believe how calm she was about showing herself like that to him. For most of the time, Toshiro just sat on her bed, facing the other direction while she decided what to wear. She finally chose what to wear, and it was a very nice outfit.
"So...Captain? What do you think?" He looked over at her and gulped.
"Y-Yeah. I guess that's nice."
Rangiku's eyes saddened. "You guess?! Captaaaain, what's wrong with it??" She whimpered and looked at herself in the mirror to see what was wrong with it.
Toshiro got annoyed with her reaction and loudly said, "NOTHING. Nothing's wrong with it. It...It looks really nice."
She smiled happily, "Hehe, why didn't you just say so, silly??"
"Whatever. It doesn't matter. Let's just get going to that party and get it over with."
"Okay!" After locking up, they headed towards Gin's house for the party. As they walked alongside, Toshiro couldn't help but think about Rangiku and Gin's relationship. It seemed silly, but Toshiro thought over how serious they were getting. If Rangiku was so easy going with showing Toshiro her body like that, what was stopping her from doing that with Gin? Toshiro found Gin to be a very sly, 'perverted' kind of guy. The thought of them getting physical made Toshiro really paranoid. That was all he could think about as they walked to the party.
TO BE CONTINUED...
A/N: Hahaha! That was a REALLY fun chapter to write. Toshiro's little freak out after seeing Rangiku half naked! XDDD I love their relationship. It's soooo funny! Keep reeeeeading! 3
