Shuuhei left her room on shaky legs, a sour taste in his mouth. When he slid her door shut, he forced himself to swallow, to breathe the air. Anything to push the night’s events far away. He leaned against the veranda railing and dropped his head into his hands, hands clammy not only for physical reasons.

He wanted to purge himself of everything he had just done.

Rangiku.

If he stopped breathing for long enough, Shuuhei thought he could hear her shift on her futon, hear her softly moan as she sank into the depths of sleep.

Gin always wanted me to do all the work. I never got to relax with him.

They were drunk again and had stumbled upon that unfortunate turn in conversation.

I just want to be touched again.

Shuuhei turned his back on Rangiku’s room, hands gripping the railing. That confession from earlier continued to ring in his head. He knew she could hold her sake. He knew she’d remember everything in the morning. He knew she was serious.

The still-fresh images assaulted Shuuhei’s memory. The railing groaned underneath his hands as he strengthened his grip. He tried to focus on the courtyard, anything to block out those memories, but the moonlight cast dark shadows and Shuuhei could do nothing.

The sake bottles increased. Shuuhei’s vision danced, but he still noticed the delicate way her thick curls bounced. And when she laughed at some joke, he couldn’t help but notice how her breasts threatened to fall out of her robe, more than usual.

Those same breasts, pressed against him. Her lips, sloppily on his. Her hair, spilled over her futon.

His body above hers, taking pleasure where his mind dared not.


“Gin,” she murmured from inside.

Shuuhei shoved himself away from the railing and fled.

*Agrees.*

Not my favorite pairing ever, but I really enjoy the style and pace of it. Plus, I really feel for Shuuhei.

Also, I love your icon.

Thank you! I was hoping the pace and style would work, especially since I only had 300 words with which to work. I'm also glad you feel for Shuuhei. I really wanted the whole situation to sort of eat away at him, not too quickly, but not too gradually either. I like to bring out the humanity in characters, so I saw this as one way to do it, albeit in a very strange and possibly roundabout way.

I love this icon too. It's made by [livejournal.com profile] draiol if you're interested.

Thanks again for reading!

Oh, thanks. I love her icons, too. I believe that my Shunsui/Ukitake mood themes are by her.

If I ain't in love with this; I'm a damn fool.

You craft freak to your own meanings. The sad, sick feeling of being used. And Rangiku does use the hell out of him.The bitter taste does it for me. Her kiss is not sweet, not enjoyed. Its flavored by liquor and lust.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! It means a lot to me!

I wanted to use "freak" in a more abstract way, so I'm glad you think my version works. But poor, poor Shuuhei. He's got a crush on the woman, and this is the respect he gets? Rough stuff, man. I feel like I need to send him away with the guys to a nice vacation spot with no Rangiku. For a while.

And to add another "L" to your list, her kiss is flavored by liquor, lust, and loneliness. So I feel bad for her, too. Sheesh, it seems no one in this fandom can catch a break.

*sticks fingers in your mouth to make you smile?*

...I should write happy Shuuhei at some point.

Hell, I should write any fic at this point. *has been slacking for far too long*

I should. Write something too.

But. I'm a lazy ass.

[identity profile] dancing-in-time.livejournal.com 2010-06-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I just don't have inspiration anymore. Sigh.
