I need to start sleeping at night. But I still have to write a drabble tonight. Ah well, I guess. Hopefully I won't like... fall asleep in the middle of my date tomorrow. I'm nervous now! And excited, haha.

46. Umbrella

Rangiku looked out the window. Rain streamed down the glass, blurred the building in a haze. She was twenty minutes of walking from where she needed to be. Normally, Rangiku loved the rain. She even had a pair of galoshes with pink polka dot hearts from the human world just so she could splash around in the puddles.

The problem was, this morning the skies were a pure, brilliant blue, and only a tiny wisp of a cloud had dotted the sky. Rangiku's galoshes were far off in her barracks, along with her raincoat, and her umbrella.

Rangiku sighed and opened the door, and walked outside. She stood under the ledge and looked up towards the sky. "I wish it'd let up," she said, but she could not wait for more than a minute or two, otherwise, she would be late.

The rain seemed to pour down harder in response. After a sigh or two, Rangiku stepped out into the rain. Within three steps, the rain had stopped. She blinked.

"Ya were about ta get soaked."

"Gin!"

"Couldn' let a pretty girl get soaked, 'specially when she's gotta get ta a meetin'."

"You're so sweet."

"Yer jus' lucky I had an umbrella, an' I wander aroun' a lot."

But Gin was smiling in such a way Rangiku could not help but wonder if Gin had gone out of his way.


Been a looot of fluffy lately. Oooh boy.
