"Gin," Rangiku called while biting into a persimmon. The silver-haired boy turned his head to her direction while munching on the fruit himself. "Gin, what color are your eyes?"

He seemed surprised at the question. He didn't answer right away, but put a finger to his pointy chin, thinking.

"Ya wanna see it?" he asked and Rangiku gasped.

"I'm allowed to see it?" she said excitedly. His grin became wider.

"Maaaaaaybe~" he drawled. "If – " Rangiku winced at the eagerness in his voice. "If you do all the chores for a whole week!" Rangiku gaped.

"No," she refused stubbornly.

"Then I ain't opening my eyes for ya," he said, taking another bite of the persimmon.

"Pleeease~ Gin?" she begged with all the sweetness she could muster. But he didn't even turn around to look at her. Fine, she thought, I'll just do it the hard way.

Without warning, the strawberry-blonde leaped towards him and successfully knocked him to the ground.

"What're ya doin' Ran-chan?" he wheezed from under her. She didn't answer, but put her index finger and thumb to his eyelids, trying to open them by force. "H-Hey, get off me!" he tried to swat her hands away, but she refused to budge. They rolled around in the grass, both struggling.

Unfortunately for Rangiku, Gin was stronger. He easily flipped her over then jumped to his feet while she lay breathless on the ground.

"Ya needn't do that," he said, grinning.

"You made me do it!" she defended herself.

"Come 'ere," he took her hand and helped her up to a sitting position, facing each other. Slowly, he opened his eyelids, revealing ruby-red irises. Rangiku gasped, but before she could take a closer look, he had closed them again.

"They're red," she whispered in wonder.

"I know they are."

"They're so beautiful," she continued.

"Ya… ya don't think they're strange?" he asked uneasily.

"Of course not! You have got to be the owner of the most beautiful eyes in the whole world!" she cried.

Gin's grin softened into a real smile. He tackled her to the ground, laughing at her surprised 'oof!', and felt very glad that he had Rangiku beside him as he wrapped his arms around her body.

Aww, I like fluff. :) I like The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition.
