„Huh, Stark! There you are. How was the meeting?" "You know I can´t tell you that Lilinette." Grumbling she turned away from her other half and continued to mumble. Then suddenly she looked up. "Who is that? Is that this human girl Aizen recruited?" "Yes, she is." "And why is she here?" "Ask her yourself I´m going to sleep." Again, Lilinette was cursing in a mumbling tone.
"Well, ok! Why are you here, huh?" Lilinette looked at her with a curious look on her face. "Uhm well…Aizen told me to choose one Espada who I like to work under as a Fraccion and…" "You wanna be Starks?" "Yes I thought he is quite interesting."
"Interesting? That's not a fitting word, he is a lazy ass!" "LILINETTE!" "Its like that isn't it? Baka!" "She just stood there and watched as they continued to argue. First she was smiling, head down so that none of them will notice it but after some time where they still fought she couldn't hold it anymore and began to laugh out loud. Both of them stopped, looking up at her. She didn't even notice that their questioning looks and just bursted out laughing in tears. Stark and Lilinette looked at each other, trying to understand what was going on but they didn't. So both of them just sat there looking how the human girl laughed so full-heartly that a little smile appeared on Starks face.
He didn't realize that until Lilinette turned around looking at him in shock. Eyes and mouth wide open. Lilinette began to look at both of them and then finally she started to laugh too. It was a first. Laughing from their heart, what was impossible for Hollows…but they did. She made it possible and for a second all their pain and their past was forgotten. As she stopped laughing slowly and washed away her tears from laughing that hard, she looked as if her heart was rebuild. Her eyes were again full of joy and happiness, the way Stark saw them the first time they met. It really was hard for her to fight against the heartless beings around her that always had sad looks on their faces and no matter how hard she tried, she began to match them. But only almost. Maybe the happiness she had for the last days wasn't as filled with heart as they used to but they were at that moment!
And there was always the sparkle of hope in her eyes that Stark confused so much. He thought she would break, he really thought the life in her eyes would vanish but it didn't. And even if it did, it only took her those few minutes to rebuild and shine again.
Shine brighter than she did before.
