"You're late" She announced to the figure standing before her.
"I apologize. I went to pick someone up in her office but she wasn't there."
"Your lover?" she asked. "You know, one of these days you'll have to tell me who she is so I can kill her."
"Is that necessary Rangiku? After all, I always come back to you." He replied teasingly.
"But she steals all my fun! By the time you're here the little you is too tired to play." She said, pouting at the man.
"Is that so? I'd say you have plenty of fun with the little me every night."
"Well… the nights I don't fake it I do."
"What!?"
"I'm just kidding" She said, giggling at the quirk in his face. "Come lay with me."
"What the…?" She thought to herself.
"Good morning Rangiku."
"What's all of this?"
"It's food. Breakfast, more specifically."
"You made breakfast?" She asked confused.
"Yes, in honor of your birthday. Would you like some tea?" He offered, laying a kiss on her mouth.
"What's with the pampering?"
"You're complaining? I should have expected this. It is usually around this hour when you ask why I'm still here and throw me out to go and do paperwork."
"Are you high?" she answered mockingly at his remark.
"No… Did you sleep well? You'll need the rest…" he queried, brushing the hair from her face.
"Hmm… As well as someone can sleep when they're in bed with you."
"Am I such a mediocre partner?"
"No… it's just that with you in bed there's not much sleeping involved."
