Wish 36
We love you
"I will not let you go until you stop thinking that nobody loves you. I'm fine with you thinking that everything here is a dream, but I am not fine with you thinking that nobody loves you. We all love you, Toshiro. Can't you see that?" Rangiku asked, looking over to Gin. She beckoned the man over to where she was sitting with their son. Isshin got the hint that it was time for him to leave and made his way towards the door.
"No. I can't see that." Toshiro replied, shadows covering his eyes.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to stay here until you do." Rangiku responded as Gin sat down next to her.
"Ugh... Fine. I agree with you, Now may I be released?" he groaned.
"We all know that you aren't truly agreeing, Shiro-chan." Gin said. Toshiro sighed and jerked in Rangiku's lap.
"Why do you even care? I can understand Matsumoto caring about me, since care is only a short term commitment, but you? I don't even know what to think of you anymore. No one loves me except for Granny. Please, let go." Toshiro said.
"No." Rangiku replied.
"Let. Go!" he shouted, jerking a few more times in her lap. Rangiku buried her nose onto her struggling son's white hair.
"I am never letting go. I love you, Toshiro. You're my son, my angel." Rangiku said quietly.
"I love you too, Toshiro. You're my son and angel also." Gin said, scooting over to be in front of him.
'What is this feeling in my chest? It hurts. It really hurts.' Toshiro thought, biting his lip.
"Go away, Ichimaru. You took him. I don't want to see you." Toshiro whispered.
"Toshiro...This is for your own good. You're just a child, you don't need to have the responsibility of all the power that comes with a zanpakto." Gin told him.
"Without him though, I'm just a child. A useless child. I may be useless, but I am not a child. When will you two get that I'm not a child?" Toshiro asked, suddenly feeling a little sleepy.
'It's not even past lunch yet...' he thought. 'Oh, the reiatsu. I used too much trying to prove a stupid idiot that I wasn't afraid of a stupid machine. Hmm... I guess I was the stupid one.' His eyelids fluttered, trying to stay awake.
"Children are not useless, Shiro. Children are gifts. They're innocent and joyful, kindhearted and lovable, and are open minded and precious. Hey. Are ya tired, Shiro?" Gin asked. He let out a little chuckle at seeing the boy starting to nod off.
"It's not even noon yet." Rangiku commented, looking at her husband.
"He basically let out all of his reiatsu earlier when we went to measure it. It's probably reiatsu exhaustion." Gin replied, standing up.
"Where do you think you're going?" Rangiku called after him.
"I'll be right back. Don't worry." he said, going into the hallway. Gin entered his and Rangiku's room and grabbed a blanket off the end of the bed. He brought it back out and found Toshiro asleep in his wife's arms.
"Do you want to stay there with him, or should I move him to the couch?" Gin asked when he stopped in front of Rangiku.
"I'll stay here with him for now. You haven't been into work today, so you should go ahead and do that." Rangiku said.
"Alright." Gin replied, laying the blanket on the two. "I'll be back at one to make lunch, okay? You think over what you want to do with Toshiro's limiter." With that, Gin left the house.
"Hmm... Such a precious little boy..." Rangiku said contently, running a hand through her son's hair. He unconsciously snuggled closer to her for a source of heat. She gave a small smile before drifting off to sleep too.
