Smile

I was suspicious.

Gin's grin was abnormally large.

I disliked that man.

"Ulquiorra, I have a simple test for you," Lord Aizen stated.

"Yes, my Lord?"

"I want you to smile."

Gin snickered.

"The facial formation?"

"That is correct."

I could not question this.

The corner of my mouth twitched and rose. The left side did not.

Showing a large amount of teeth, I worked on the other half.

The lifted side sank as the other side rose, leaving my composed face a mess.

Gin dropped to the floor in laughter as Tosen tossed him money.

I hated that man.


Gin promised to leave and tell the Soul Society everything if he didn't do this. Or maybe, Aizen wanted to see it himself? Who knows. This was tricky to come up with. I mean, Ulquiorra doesn't quite equal a happy and smiling guy.
