Kaleidoscope

"Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects." — GinRan, 100 themes. Traces of other pairings.

Opening Song: "Drink With Me" — Les Misérables

The silver blade is cold against the skin of her neck, but the breath brushing against her cheek is warm.

"Why are ya here?"

The question is simple, but she doesn't know how to answer it.

"Why're ya here, Rangiku? Your body's shakin'."

"Isn't it obvious?" His body stiffens. "You're here."

His hand is on her necklace and the blade is in her face. It's intimate and dangerous all at once, and the swell of emotions from finally seeing him again weakens her already wracked body. His presence breaks her down, but it also sustains her.

For some reason, he's still grinning.

"Why're ya really here?" His voice is soft, under his breath, more to himself than to her. Then he raises his head, brushes his fingers against the curve of her face, and murmurs, "You're in the way."

She can't help but think of how sad he looks before she falls unconscious.
