Author's Note:
( Written in Vietnam.
Everyone here is a frickin' scary ass driver. For the most part there are only two lanes, a different one for cars going in the opposite direction. Well, I guess it's legal (and if it's not no one stops it) to cross into the other lane if the person in front of you is going too slow so that you can cut in front of them. And I don't care if you're in a car or a motorcycle ― a million vehicles headed in your direction is fucking scary.
... Well, at least I know my driving skills aren't just hereditary; it's something buried deep within the motherland. )
I'm sorry for being a dick and not posting anything for a month. I have, like, five more drabbles on my new!USB from when I was in Vietnam, but I'm too lazy to plug it in. School isn't too bad, but I've started work, and I'm going to karate again. ... And I'm lazy, like I said. XD

drunk
Opening Song: "Say It Loud" - Skillet
"Gin, let's get drunk."
The silver-haired lieutenant in question looked up at Rangiku from his desk with exasperation. Typically, he would have responded with another one of his grins and a couple of chuckles, but he had been so bombarded with work lately that everything was getting tiring. Aside from the typical paperwork and hands-on missions, he and Aizen were working on his promotion to the 3rd Division captain, now that it had... conveniently opened up.
"I got work ta do, Rangiku," he replied, though with a bit of genuine disappointment.
She instantly scowled. "Come on, when was the last time you had any fun?" Before he could reply (though in all honesty he couldn't think of a reply), she adamantly said, "I'm not leaving here until I get you off your butt and out of this office!"
He sighed as he rubbed the back of his head. "I can't, Rangiku. Why don' ya ask one o' yer other friends. That Shuuhei seems ta have takin' a likin' to ya."
She tapped her chin thoughtfully. "True, and his alcohol tolerance is rather impressive..." She quickly shook her head, cursing him for throwing her off track. "No! That's not the point! The point is that you need to have and that you need to hang out with me. I'll persist all day if I have to!"
Five minutes later, a very irate Rangiku emerged from the 5th Division compound without Gin. Five minutes after that, she ran into Shuuhei, who was more than happy to accompany her to her favorite bar. Five minutes after that, the duo met with one Kira Izuru, who was also more than happy to drink a little sake with some friends. A half hour and ten flasks of sake later, the three lay unconscious on the ground, with empty cups surrounding them. Five minutes after that, Ichimaru Gin walked into the bar, and he showed absolutely no sign of shock at what he saw.
Stepping over the body of the blonde young man ("He's the one from the Hollow attack," Gin noted), he pulled Rangiku onto his back and, careful not to step on any cups, headed out of the bar.
"Really," he said with a sigh, "ya could'a at least waited."
"Giiiin," she moaned, her breath laced with alcohol. Good God, how much did she drink? She definitely didn't pick up these drinking habits from him.
"Yes?"
"I dun' feel good..."
"I got yer hangover kit already set up in yer room," he replied reassuringly.
She smiled against the back of his neck. "I looooove yooooou, Gin."
Gin chuckled. "I know."
