And here we have the conclusion. I know it's a bit short, but it was only meant to wrap up his hospital stay and a pinch of character building on both Gin and Izuru's part.


The morning had finally arrived, and Unohana finished her observation, Izuru was cleared. With the bandage now off of his eye, he was glad to know that it still functioned. He had also been given his uniform back, which he had instantly changed back into.

Still playing the role of observer, Gin was still present. His smile had returned and he decided to wait outside as Izuru completed the discharging progress. It didn't take long before he did see the teen again.

"Come on," Gin rushed, pulling the teen, "we've got to get you back to your friends and stuff."

"I know," Izuru replied, carefully trying to keep up, "but you're kind of pulling my good arm out of the socket."

Gin stopped, his expression shifting ever so slightly. A light amount of concern present.

"Sorry."

"It's okay." Izuru chuckled. "You don't have to look so worried."

"Whatcha talking about?"

"You just look a bit worried. It may not be as perplexed a sit was last night, but still."

Gin's grin made a comeback at his statement, growing even more than the last one. The idea that Izuru was making an observation amused him.

"Consider yourself lucky."

He grabbed Izuru's good arm once more and began to drag Izuru in another direction.

"Where are you taking me?" Izuru questioned, puzzled by the shift in direction.

"Forget about getting back to the academy." Gin replied. "I'm gonna show you around. Plus, I'd like to keep an eye on you, just to make sure you're okay."

Still puzzled, Izuru could only wonder what he had gotten himself into.


Feel free to interpret Izuru's emotin guess however you want. I originally wrote it as Gin giving small signs of emotion to Izuru in what I originally wrote for the previous chapter (which I omitted for the sake of keeping Gin as In character as possible for the chapter). Just enough for Izuru to notice it this one time. However, if you want to say interpret it as Gin messing with Izuru (as he's not one that a lot of people, if any, can read) that's fine too.

I'd also like to thank everyone who's read the story and anyone who's faved and/or followed it. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
