Well, I got two drabbles done tonight, woo! I also went on my date. It went okay. They guy did everything basically perfectly. He was nice, thoughtful, sweet, talkative the entire time. But there was no spark whatsoever for me. I feel really bad about it, because he's so obviously really into me. I'm not sure what to tell the guy, because I know he's going to ask for a second date *sigh*

39. Fork in the Road
Gin was not sure when it had happened, but at some point he had begun spending more and more time with his captain. Aizen often invited him to share meals, on special projects, even for calligraphy lessons. Gin was not exactly fond of calligraphy, but he had wanted to please his captain; he knew it would help him reach his goals.
At the same time, Gin was amazed by Aizen, and he trusted the captain implicitly. There was a kinship between them that he had thought he could never have. There was a darkness to Aizen that the man hid with his kindness like Gin hid his with a smiling mask.
"Gin, I wish you were my third seat," Aizen said. "You would become my lieutenant so much more quickly then."
"Ya wan' me ta be your lieutenant?"
"Yes, Gin. You are truly an amazing individual," Aizen said, setting a calligraphy brush down. "We will do great things together. One day, we will become gods, immortal."
"Immortal? Not dying, ever?"
"Indeed, with power greater than all the other captains," Aizen told him. Then he told him some of his plans for the future.
Gin was fascinated. He knew he could easily achieve the goals he had set out—making it to the top of what he had thought possible. Aizen was offering him a new world of possibilities.
He already knew he would follow Aizen. Gin knew he might have to turn away from the gotei thirteen, but he also knew he was not able to turn away from Aizen's offer, those wild dreams that tore at his soul.
"I want you to become my third seat immediately."
"But ya can only have one thir' seat, righ?"
"That's right, Gin. But he's a bad man, and a terrible third seat. We cannot let your gifts go to waste so that such a fool can claim status that does not truly belong to him," Aizen said. "We will have to dispose of him. We will set it up so that it appears a hollow has killed him."
"Ya wan' me ta kill a shinigami?"
"Yes, Gin," Aizen said. "It is necessary."
"'Kay."
Ah Gin... you make me so sad =(
