Prompts from
hydr0phobia again; go bug her to post her half because they are better.
AizenMomo//New
"It's a bit odd at first," he tells her, adjusting her hands on the hilt of her new sword, "But it will teach you."
Gin and Momo//Kira; begin
"He's a vice-captain now too," Gin reminds her, smiling, smiling. "I'm sure he knows."
"...Yes," she says, and bows because she should. "Please take care of him."
Kira, Kenpachi//Phobia
"I-it's not - no, no, you don't - it looks lovely," Kira said, both hands raised in front of him - whether defensive or merely placating, he wasn't sure himself.
"Yeah?" Kenpachi glowered at him, bells jangling in warning.
"Yes. Yes!" Kira backed out of the room, fervently damning Renji for playing on his fear of clowns.
"Good. Cuz," and here Kenpachi hiked his thumb at his vice-captain, "she did it."
Yachiru held up the pots of face paint proudly. "Ken-chan looks so cool!"
"Of-of course," Kira said, and fled.
Renji, Byakuya//Bureaucracy
"Are you sure," Byakuya said cooly, "that this is the correct form?"
"Uh, yuh." Renji scratched his head. "Aquarium something, right?"
"...Acquisitions. Acquisitions and inventory."
"Oh, right." Renji nodded enthusiastically.
"This. Is not the correct form."
"What is it then?"
"...A betting pool. On how long it will take you to -"
"OH SHIT."
RenRuki//Modern
"...Are you sure it's meant to be worn like this?"
"Yes," Rukia says, completely serious, and readjusts the underwear on Renji's head.
Gin//Curiosity
Gin peered around the boulder, eyes focusing on the lone figure in the spring. "You know," Aizen said behind him, "There are easier ways to spy." Gin, for the record, did not jump.
"Hi captain," he said. "...This is more fun?"
"How did you convince him to bathe outdoors anyway?"
"...I told him it was good for the skin."
Gin//Depreciation
The value of gold fluctuates, Gin reflects as he closes the sliding screen. One can never be sure if the value of one's investment will go up... or down.
He blows out the candle, shadows washing the glow from the blonde head waiting for him in his bed.
Mizuiro+Keigo//Understand
"No, no," Mizuiro said, shaking his head. "Laundry gets folded and then - Keigo. Stop playing with the drawers, please. Yes, they open, they close - Keigo. Keigo."
Gin, Aizen//Reservations
Gin occasionally asks himself why he never questions captain Aizen; never says "why," or even "what." But, watching their chosen set of unknowing disciples - cadets yet, eyes bright with youthful enthusiam and so, so painfully eager to please - he remembers.
ShuuRan//Modesty
"Uh, no, I think that's -" a swallow, "fine. More than fine, really, I think you look great. Great like, uh. Like. Great." Shuuhei nods; Rangiku shrugs and does not pull her robe back up over her shoulders.
Karin//Obvious
"Look old man, she's not -"
"Ohhhhhh, you'll make such beautiful grandbabies for daddy!!" Isshin cried, clutching Rukia to his half-bared chest.
Karin shook her head. "Listen, you idiot, she's not -"
"I can see it now," Isshin continued, undeterred. "Babies, so many babies, and they'll bounce, bounce like -"
Karin gave up and kicked him neatly in the face, foot impacting just three inches above Rukia's head.
Gin, Kira//Remorse
Gin does not apologize, but his hands are gentle, his face is gentle and Kira does not touch his sword where the hilt rises from his belt.
"I don't understand," he says, soft, and Gin kisses his temple before answering:
"I don't either."
Gin, Renji//Incomprehensible
"I don't get you at all, man," Renji says, slinging a drunken arm over Kira's shoulders. Kira gives his captain an apologetic look as he attempts to steer his fellow vice-captain out of the room.
"I mean, you have such weird taste in m-"
"Renji," Kira says, desperate to keep his former classmate from saying too much.
"S'true," Renji protests, "I mean he's so -" Kira makes a distressed sound and redoubles his efforts; behind them, Gin smiles.
GinIzu//Superfluous
"So you never really needed..." His voice broke and he stopped, hands flapping like broken birds.
"Oh, no," Gin said affably, "Who else would have done the paper work?"
Renji, Kira//Solace
He didn't say anything because he didn't have to; just a touch to the shoulder and Kira broke. Renji held his hand and let him cry.
GinIzu//Procrastination
There was paperwork left, wasn't there? There was, there had to be, he couldn't have finished it all already, and. Or he could recheck it all, make sure he hadn't left any boxes unfilled, Ts uncrossed, Is undotted, Ps or Qs reversed, that kind of thing. Or maybe he could get started on tomorrow's, or even the day after's, because, really, one could never be too prepared, and there was that one saying about idle hands and Kira tried very hard never to have idle hands or an idle mind or really allow the word "idle" to describe him at all and -
"Izuru," Gin drawled from the door way, "don't you think it's time for bed?"
Unohana//Adamant
"No," Unohana said serenely, "I do not believe there is anyone undeserving of medical treatment. Now, Captain Kuchiki, please collect your officers. I am sure they are anxious to get back to their posts."
369//Immature
"Hey, did you just say -"
"He did, he totally did, and about -"
"I did not! I - I did not, I said -"
"Did too! Oh, man, that's embarassing."
"You actually - and about that guy too."
"No, I didn't mean - I never said - that is, I -"
"Aw, give it up Kira -"
"It's not like it's a surprise, I mean, you aren't the best at keeping secrets."
"But - But I... I."
"Hey, it's okay, it's not like we'll treat you any different."
"...Man, I can't believe you said that."
"...D:"
