This drabble is connected with the last two. They just kind of fit together a bit, oddly enough.

37. Mist
It was late when Gin walked Rangiku back to her room, munching on dried persimmons as they went. It made Rangiku wonder what Gin's persimmons would taste like some day. Perfect, she was sure.
Gin walked her to her dorm as she finished her last persimmon. "Was a good night, was'n it?"
"I wish it lasted forever!"
"Maybe not quite tha' long. Never get ta be a cap'n then, would I?"
Rangiku laughed and threw her arms around Gin's shoulders, pulling him down to kiss his cheek. "You're weird."
"Nothin' weird about havin' goals," he said and bent to kiss the top of her head. "I gotta get back, stuff ta do fer Cap'n Aizen."
Rangiku sighed. "But I always miss you!"
"Me too. C'mon, it'll be okay. Ya got a lotta friends n' stuff ta do. An' them friends of yours like ta go out a whole lot, don' they?"
"They're not you."
"Course not. Ain't no one like me."
"Exactly," Rangiku said, holding tight to Gin.
"C'mon now, I gotta go," Gin said, prying her arms off of him.
Rangiku relinquished her hold. "Come back soon!"
Gin was already walking away as Rangiku spoke. He lifted a hand and waved. Without turning back he said, "Bye-bye."
He faded into the night mist, vanishing like a ghost. It was as if the mist had claimed one its own, calling it back home. As Rangiku watched the mist rise, swirl, and fall, she wondered what secrets it was hiding, what secrets Gin was hiding behind that smile of his. It made her worry.
3:33am! Haha, make a wish everyone! =)
