Author's Note:
When I went to visit my friend last weak for Fall Break, she, her residents, and I got in an argument over who's better: Usher or Nelly. I am listening to old school Usher and I still hold to my argument that Usher is the best and Nelly can't even compare. (She's the minority who thinks Nelly's better; she's wrong, bless her little heart.)
Thank you for the reviews, again! Guest, ByakuyasMistress, and kittenkyd, you are all wonderful and I love you so much! :)

Opening Song: "Truth Hurts" - Usher
Before all of this, when they were still in the planning stages, when Gin was still seen as a child, he remembers some of the first words that Tousen ever said to him: "You love her." It had shocked him to the core, how conclusive and confidently Tousen had said it, as though it were a mere observation of something obvious. Tousen hadn't said anything more than that, had just walked away, leaving Gin to dwell on his apparently weak disguise.
Now when he thinks about it, though, he decides that Tousen was wrong. He doesn't love Rangiku. What she is to him cannot be so simply defined or encompassed by one word. He does not feel love for Rangiku — he feels something that tears him down and builds him down all at once, something that wounds and heals him, something that ruins and elates him. There's no way that a feeling of such conflict and peace and paradox can be confined to a word.
So when Aizen mentions it to him in passing, asking him about "the girl he loves," Gin doesn't falter or stutter because he doesn't love Rangiku.
It could never be so simple.
Closing Song: "Whispers in the Dark" - Skillet
I love listening to music I listened to in, like, mid school. It's the best and, geez, I had great taste then, too. *shot*
so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu!
