So I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm going to be casually dating two guys at the same time. I dunno how I really feel about it yet. Then again, I've never dated much--I was always kind of focused on school and caught up in a thousand silly little things. I'm getting a life at long last, it's kind of odd. Now I need some more girl friends. Ah well, we'll see how that one goes too. I DO work with a million girls. Does anyone read these blurbs?

Thanks to: Blueberry Absinth, Beautiful Nightmare07, Renji's Girll, zero434, Curry Kitty, MissTeak, CrossroadsofLife. Wow, I had a lot of reviewers for last time's bummer of a chapter. Thanks so much! *hands out roses*

This drabble is something off a companion to the last drabble.

"Get out!" She screamed.

"Ah, but Ran-cha, didn' ya miss me?"

"Out!" A moment later, Gin was on his ass in the hall, hair going every which way. Upon reflection, Gin realized he probably should have knocked first. Then again, he was a healthy young man. Even if Rangiku beat him within an inch of his life, he thought it would be worth it to see her in her lingerie.

When Rangiku opened the door a moment later, Gin still could not wipe the grin from his face.

"I should kill you."

"But ya won'."

"I haven't heard from you in… since I saw you last."

Gin held up the letters. "Got 'em yesterday. Ya sent them letters ta the wrong address."

"Still!"

"Didn' have yours."

"Oh."

"Let's go to our spot." Gin said and took Rangiku's hand, leading her towards the door.

"But I have plans today already."

Gin halted. "How often do ya see yer friends? How often do ya see me?"

She had gone out with them a week earlier. It had been months since she had seen Gin. Rangiku was still angry though. It was easier to track her down than it was for her to figure out where in the seireitei Gin was.

"Fine, I'll cancel."

"You know," Gin said as they climbed up onto their roof an hour later. "It won' always be like this."

"Like what?"

"Havin' ta wait so long ta see each other. All this worry an' such."

"You think so?"

"I know so. Jus' wait til yer a shinigami," he said. Gin sat down, dangling his legs over the edge of the roof, watching the people who walked by below him.

"I wonder if I'll ever become a seated officer."

"Yup," Gin said. "We're gonna do great things. I'll be a cap'n and you'll be one too. We'll jus' about rule seireitei."

"Nah, I don't want to be a captain. They have too much work to do. But maybe I'll be a lieutenant."

"So cap'n and lieutenant. Y'know what? I wan' a whole grove of them persimmon trees. Then I'll have the best dried persimmons 'round."

"And I'll eat them all!"

"Nah, I wan' some too."

"Okay, fine. I guess I can share."

"Ain't I the one tha's making 'em?"

"So?"

Gin laughed and pulled her to him, keeping an arm around her shoulders. "Love ya ta pieces, Ran-chan."

"Same to you." Rangiku wrapped her arms around him. Gin did not mind at all.

Seemed like a happier chapter was due =)
