Author's Note:
So I'm typing this up on my new Mac which is super cool yet super confusing lawl. Buuuut I got a free iTouch AAAAND a free printer with this baby, so all is well and I'm willing to deal with a little confusion.
In other news, I went to watch Inception for the second time in a week the other day and it totally MIND FUCKED ME. Again. God, seriously, if you have not seen that movie, you absolutely must. Arthur is such a cutie, Eames is a boss, Saito is a samurai, Ariadne is a ba, and no one cares about Leo and the chemist. (LOL JK, LEO.)
IN MORE IMPORTANT NEWS, a wonderfully large thank you goes out to victorcharlie, imjuzakyd, Dragen Eyes, rockbabyval, Cappy-Chan, Aosugiru Sora, Charmane, Soomin, xwannaflyx,and Air.K.i.a.r.a. for reviewing~ You guys are total bosses. Aaaaand I'll admit to you guys that I haven't read any Bleach chapters in… probably a year. I PROMISE I'LL GET TO IT, THOUGH. D:

Opening Song: "Cold Shoulder" - Adele
It had been days since Gin had left the compound, weeks since anyone had really spoken to him, and months since he'd confided in the company of others. Sure, he talked to people, but not enough to call their exchange a conversation.
He could tell the others didn't trust him - the other captains, that is. Ichimaru Gin was nothing more than an enigma, and that frightened them. It made them want to keep their distance, made them want to distrust him. The same could hardly be said for Aizen and Tousen; the others loved them, befriended them, venerated them even. It was funny, he thought, how easily they bought Aizen's gentile nature and Tousen's "justice."
Still, he took their ostracizing all in good stride, offering a grin even when they looked at him dubiously. After all, he couldn't help if they didn't like him, so what point would there be in worrying about it?
Besides, it was better to isolate himself. Attachments were troublesome, and in the end they would just make everything more difficult.
"Oh come on, Kira, just say 'hi' to her."
"But she's probably busy and…"
"You need to grow a pair if you plan on getting anywhere with her!"
"Rangiku-san!"
Gin looked up from his paperwork to glance through his slightly open shoji. At that very moment, Rangiku peered in as she walked by, with Kira on her other side. They caught each other's gazes for the briefest moment before she continued on.
He sighed inwardly as he stamped another sheet of paper and moved it to another stack.
He couldn't afford any attachments.
Closing Song: "Veni Vidi Vici" - Black Lips
I went to buy my textbooks today, and disregarding the fact that I am now even more pumped for school to start (I am such an uber nerd), my textbook for German cost me ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY BUCKS. That's literally as much as all my other books combined. C'mon, Germany, I rooted for you during the World Cup - is it necessary to pain me even more?
