Notes/Warnings/Disclaimer: The only Bleach related things that belong to me are the 8' Kisuke and Byakuya plushies beautifully adorning my room. Prompt is Hope, which led me to a quote, and also the song used "To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain..." The song mentioned can be heard here. As usual, comments/reviews/critiques greatly appreciated.
Prompt 2/20 "Hope"
It was a routine of theirs. He would enter the 10th division headquarters unspoken, pretending that he just happened to be passing by. She would be silently waiting for his arrival pretending that somehow she was finally into doing paperwork. Such had been their way for the past three weeks.
Most often few words were shared between the spiky haired eighth squad fukutaicho and the buxom tenth squad fukutaicho. Instead it was just the simple presence of another soul that was going through similar things. He helped her keep her mind off the silver haired fox that had broken her in two. She helped him forget the unanswered questions about how someone who preached justice could commit an act that just screamed of illegality.
Sometimes he would bring his guitar, quietly strumming and singing along as he practiced songs that were solely meant for her. The songs he picked always stood for something. She couldn't remember when she finally took notice or the first night she softly sang along. All she remembered were the lyrics that pierced her soul every night.
"Making the best of it, playing the hand you get, you're not alone in this....there's hope for the hopeless"
