A/N: In my opinion, this song is completely perfect for this pairing.
Pairing: Rangiku Matsumoto and Gin Ichimaru
Song: You'll be in my Heart by Phil Collins
Lyrics:
Come stop your crying it'll be alright
just take my hand hold it tight
I will protect you from
all around you
I will be hear don't you cry
For one so small
you seemed so strong
my arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
this bond between us can't be broken
I will be hear don't you cry
Cause you'll be in my heart
yes you'll be in my
from this day on
now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
no matter what they say
you'll be here in my heart
always
Why don't they understand the way we feel?
they just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but
deep inside us
we're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
yes you'll be in my heart
from this day on
now and forever more
Don't listen to them
cause what do they know? (what do they know)
we need each other
to have to hold
they'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
you must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
but you gotta hold on
they'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together cause
you'll be in my heart
believe me you'll be in heart
I'll be there from this day on
now and forever more
Ooo you'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
no matter what they say
I'll be with you
you'll be here in my heart
I'll be there
always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there
always
Rangiku's POV, Soul Society (September 29th, sometime after Aizen's betrayal)
Rangiku sighed. Today was September 29th, her "birthday."However, it was no longer a day for celebration. Years ago, it had been her favorite day of the year. She would hang out with Gin all day, and they would reminisce about their past in Rukon. Rangiku's birthday wasn't her real birthday- she had no idea when that was. No, September 29th was the day she had first met Gin, the day he saved her life, the day they became best friends.
But now he's gone. He ran off with Aizen and Tousen, betrayed everyone, and lied to her. That jerk. She should be over him.
Then why did this day bring her so much sadness?
Gin's POV, Hueco Mundo (September 29th, sometime after Aizen's betrayal)
Gin Ichimaru sighed, a frown on his face. He couldn't help thinking about Rangiku today. More than ever, he wished he was back in the Soul Society.
"Gin, are you alright?"
Gin looked up from staring out the window. "Completely fine, Aizen-sama."
"Gin, you were just frowning. I don't think I have ever seen you frown before."
"It's nothing, really. I was just lost in thought." Gin said, a grin back on his face like always.
"Wait… were you thinking about that girl again? Rangiku?"
"Today's her birthday…." he replied meekly.
"Gin, you'd do better if you just forgot about her. We left Soul Society for a reason, so just forget everything that had to do with the place. You've started a new life, a better life."
"Right, of course, I know that."
"Alright, bye, and trust me, forget all about that life and that girl." With that, Aizen walked away.
As soon as he did, Gin's frown returned. How could he forget his best friend? He thought back to the day he found her, lying on the street, about to pass out from hunger. She was so small then, so weak and helpless. He remembered the time, about a year later, when he had come home to find her crying.
Flashback
"I'm home!" Gin called out cheerfully. Rangiku ran up and nearly tackled him with a massive bear hug. Her shoulders were shaking with sobs as she buried her head into his kimono.
"Ran-chan, what's the matter?" He asked her.
She looked up at him with a tear-streaked face. "Y-you left without telling me where you were going. I thought you were gonna be gone, gone forever!" She whimpered.
"Now why would I do a silly thing like that and leave you all alone? Don't worry, we'll always be together!"
"P-promise?" She sniffed.
"Yes."
"Pinky promise?" Rangiku asked, holding up her pinky. He locked his pinky with hers and responded, "pinky promise."
There is nothing he wanted more right now than to have kept that promise.
