Author's Note:
So school has started and classes have begun, and I've mostly just been busy with unpacking and running around with friends. I'm really excited for all of my classes, but I'm a little worried about the workload (I'm taking 18 hours this semester). Hopefully all will be well, though, and I'll finally get close to actually finishing this thing, ha ha.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last drabble: Dragen Eyez, TigressfromFiore, Amber Angelina Lilac, ByakuyasMistress. You are the best! :)

Opening Song: "We Are Young" - Fun.
Sometimes it's just the smallest things: a rustle of the curtain, a whisper in the crowd, a slight graze across the back of her neck. Even if she doesn't see him or hear him, she knows he's there.
It's irritating and terrible, she thinks, the way she's known him for almost her entire life and she's still in the dark. She sees the way people look at her, imploringly, questioningly, and above all (and most infuriatingly) - pityingly. They look at her like she's lost a part of herself but Rangiku is strong, and she doesn't need anyone - least of all someone as flighty as Ichimaru Gin, to keep her together.
She's fine on her own, she tells herself.
She doesn't care.
He doesn't matter.
He doesn't matter, because in the end he leaves anyway. Even when he comes back, it's never to stay. Rangiku has long since learned that she can keep a hand around him, and she certainly can't pin him down. Now it's just a matter of letting go, of allowing herself to watch him fly off.
He doesn't matter anymore, she tells herself over and over again, but a part of her hopes that he'll finally come home.
Closing Song: "Somebody That I Used to Know" - Gotye
I have so much free time in between classes but I'm soooOoo lazy.
so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu!
