Author's Note:
So I went sledding yesterday night (we had a snow day because of the storm) and ate so much snow that I now have a cold. Play wisely, people.

Prepared
Opening Song: "Savior" — Rise Against
Gin knows it's the end. He's never been an optimist (because what good is optimism in this sick world?), so he knows that this is it, that it isn't going to get any better and that he's going to die. He knows this, but part of him doesn't want to accept it. It's not because he's afraid of death, but because of the look in her eyes — the look of absolute desperation. It's like he's single-handedly tearing her apart.
He was prepared for this. He knew this was going to happen.
"Gin, please…"
Her voice breaks down, her hands shake, his cheek feels wet; she's crying. This was going to happen and he knew it from the very beginning. He trained himself, prepared himself, did everything he could for this moment, but it's all so wrong. He's not ready, he thinks Rangiku's body hovers over his and her tears wet his face. He's not ready, this isn't right, this shouldn't end like this.
Gin looks up into her eyes, makes sure that she knows he's looking right at her. There's recognition in both of their gazes, though neither one is quite ready to accept what they know. "I'm sorry," he mumbles. He wishes he could reach up and wipe away her tears one last time.
Rangiku shakes her head and leans forward so that her forehead rests against his. They both close their eyes and share his final breath.
Closing Song: "Architects" — Rise Against
