Waiting
Matsumoto sighed as she tiredly stretched her arms. She had been doing paperwork all day. She looked up solemnly towards her captain's desk. Any trace of work was gone, and the table was left organized and neat. As she expected, the young taichou had already left. The vice-captain looked dejectedly at her own desk; she had taken over most of the work for the past few days. Although this meant that she had work longer than usual, at least now her captain didn't have as much to do.
She supposed that he knew what she was trying to do as she gradually took over the paperwork. The harder she worked, the more time he could afford to spend with Hinamori. Matsumoto knew that he was grateful for this. She smiled slightly to herself, her captain was a brat, but Hitsugaya was also very kind when he wanted to be. As he left the workplace the other day, the captain of the tenth division brought her a cup filled with tea, muttering a thank you when he stepped out of the door.
Matsumoto's eyes softened, Hitsugaya was being very quiet lately. Even though others didn't notice it, she did. Nowadays whenever he talked to her, his voice was no longer as cocky and that stupid smirk on face was no longer as smug.
The vice-captain slumped in her chair and she looked out of the window, staring at the sky. She watched as the clouds floated away, being slowly moved by the wind. Her expression suddenly became sad. Somewhere, in that vast valley of blue, Ichimaru Gin was there.
In some ways, she and Hitsugaya were very alike.
They were both waiting.
Her captain was waiting for Hinamori. And she was waiting for Gin.
