A/N: I luff luff this fluffy one. XD
Lanterns
Gin + Rangiku
They used to steal lanterns. Back then in Rukongai, they pass and run through alleyways, quiet as mice, hand-in-hand. They run and sneak off to a nearby beerhouse, or house, or store.
They were just small kids, and Gin grabs one lantern, lit up in a yellow-orange hue, hands it to Rangiku, and gets one for himself.
It was just afternoon. The sunset still setting a golden hue across the city, and so two stolen lanterns weren't as eyecatching.
Nobody notices them sneak out, as they run across fields and dirt roads back to their shack. They both carry lanterns that dangled from sticks on their hands, as they walk hand-in-hand with new (stolen) sources of light to make it through their dark, dangerous night.
They play and make shadow shows, using their fingers to create images in the tattered walls of their home. Then they simply chat over the light of their new merchandise, lying side by side and staring as their shadows danced in sync with the lanterns' lights.
They fall asleep, still gripping the others' hand, and when they wake up, the lanterns were dead, and they have to steal another one for the night coming.
