Recovery
AN: I'm seriously writers blocked on this, so I'm wrapping it up. I don't want them together yet, since Gin's death is still so fresh. I might write a sequel when I feel up to it, and have them as more of a couple. I might just concentrate on my crazy ass life for a month or so. It's been a blast y'all.
The Fourth Division had found a cure to the disease that Mayuri had introduced. Kira had gotten over his illness, and life kept going forward. It was fun living together, and the arrangement was working out pretty nicely. They did their own laundry and pitched in with making dinner. They had settled into a calm cohabitation.
Sleeping in Hisagi's bed wasn't awkward at all. It was actually nice, especially since he was so snuggly. Kira slept comfortably on the couch. They all took comfort in their Soul Reaper duties, because working provided a needed outlet for their tensions.
It was midmorning, and Rangiku was the only one up so far. She'd have to wake the others up soon if they all wanted to clock in on time. Hisagi's reitsu was starting to stir, and she supposed that he was starting to wake up. Fixing herself tea, she sat down with it.
She knew that she and Hisagi had always been close, but he was so kind to her, so patient while she recovered from her loss. He continually showed her a patient kindness, one that wouldn't fade away when she was finally feeling put together again. He had always given her that steady understanding, and it was sad that she hadn't noticed it that much until she really needed it.
They were clearly growing closer, and he was already her best friend. What was closer than that? All that had changed was that they slept next to each other, and that she found him very attractive. She rolled her eyes, and snorted. She was an idiot if she didn't admit that she felt a little something for him. It seemed like they were going in that direction, and the idea was definitely interesting to her. It was just too soon. He might not see it the way she did. For now she wanted to think it over. She didn't want to rush into anything.
"Good morning." The object of her musings wandered into the living room, his spiky, black hair messy from sleep.
"Good morning Shu!" She didn't bother asking if he had slept well. He had been flopped against her, softly snoring for about ten hours. And damn it, she had enjoyed every second of it.
He was currently rubbing his eyes. He looked almost childlike when he was tired. But, he certainly wasn't a child. Not half dressed in a wife beater and low slung sweat pants, the ones he liked to sleep in. Why couldn't he just wear regular clothes, and not the sexy ones from the Human world?
She ducked her head down and sipped her tea so that she wouldn't be seen blushing. That would be embarrassing to say the least.
"Wish we'd get a mission soon."
"Getting antsy?" She teased. Hisagi rolled his eyes and went to wake Kira up. The blonde man always slept through the morning. He was not a morning person.
It was strange how the body healed faster than the mind. It had taken her a month to fully heal after Allon had torn her up while fighting the three Fraccion. It would take her a lot longer than that to stop mourning Gin's death, and the relationship that had never quite worked out between them.
But with her job, her quest for Bankai, and her friends, she had more than enough ways to cope. Kira and Hisagi would be there for her, through thick and thin. They were practically her family.
Hisagi and Kira were bickering, no doubt because Kira was grumpy to have been woken up. She walked to the kitchen and washed out her tea mug. It was nearly time to head out for work.
Smiling softly to herself, she walked out the door, knowing that they'd all get through this. They'd all recover.
AN: Expect a sequel. R/R if you dare:p
