Author's Note: From now on I think I'll be updating every other day. I don't know; I guess it just depends on how I'm feeling. XD But anyways, thanks you guys for the reviews. You are, as always, the most amazing people ever.
Theme #18
Her Whisper
Rangiku quietly crept into his room, walking on the very tips of her toes. She settled herself comfortably in a seat by his bed, folded her hands on her laps, and watched him sleep; a small smile lingered on her lips as she did.
Nowadays she was lucky if she ever caught a glimpse of Gin during the day. Whenever he came home at night, it would either be while she was asleep, or he would be too tired to eat and went straight to bed. For a while now she had been making these late night visits. Even if he was asleep, it was always nice to be in his presence. And as he slumbered, she would speak to him.
She would tell him about her day, about how scorching the sun was or about her trip into town. She would tell about the beautiful kimonos she saw in the market, or about the new products being sold at a cheap price. She told him everything -- except for one thing. She would never tell him how she missed him.
Tonight, as she sat by his side, her fingers fiddled with each other uncomfortably. Tonight she wouldn't tell him about the man that had tried to touch her during her shopping, or about how she had swung him over her shoulder like it was nothing. She wouldn't tell him about the lovely jewelry that was put on display, or the eggplants she bought for dinner.
Tonight, she reached out and took his hand in hers, and smiled. "I miss you." Her voice had lowered to a whisper, a whisper so quiet that she could hardly hear it.
That whisper was the only thing Gin heard.
