Hitsumatsu #4: The big Event
Hearing this, 10th squad captain Toshiro Hitsugaya moved to his subordinate’s room in a flash, alert and ready to act quickly, a hand on his zanpakuto.
Rangiku Matsumoto turned around to look at him.
“Which one should i weaaaar?” she asked, pointing out her bed.
“Won’t you help me to choose one of those? As my captain, you should support and guide me through hard times!” shouted Rangiku
“Well I don’t care, so long as you hurry up.” answered Toshiro, sitting at her desk, while having a sorrowful look at the small paperwork pile on it. The only thing that changed about it, compared to when he gave it to her a few days ago, was that the upper paper now had a nice big tea stain on it.
“Okay then...i’ll choose the white one!” Rangiku said, with a big smile.
“Ehh?!! Why not?! You said you didn’t care!” she replied, an outraged look on her face.
“Because you’re not the one about to marry Abarai, are you?!” Toshiro desperately said back. “Come on...”
While saying this, he got up and went to the bed, where about half a dozen dresses were lying. He looked at it for a bit and eventually told her:
“I like the purple one.”
“No, the purple one. How is this purple?”
“HOW IN THE WORLD CAN YOU CALL THIS HOT PINK ‘PURPLE’??” Toshiro burst out.
“Well, i admit it’s a bit flashy but...”
“The dark purple one, right there. We’re rather out of time, you know...”
“Uhh...Ok, but please turn around then!” Rangiku said, preparing herself.
“Yup, I’ll be waiting you outside.” stated Toshiro, about to leave the room.
“No! You...gotta wait...a bit!” Rangiku told him, wearing the dress.
“Eh? Why would you want me to turn around but not leav...”
“I need you to zip up this!” she stated, showing her back.
“Uwah?” made a speechless Toshiro, turning back to look what Rangiku was showing. And it was what he feared, a zipper on the back of her dress.
“You chose the purple one, you gotta take on your responsabilities now!” she said, amused.
“Come on, captain! We’re going to be late because of y...”
Rangiku didn’t finish her sentence though, as she could almost read “BANKAI.” into her captain’s eyes.
“...because of me, so could you please help me to catch up with the time i lost already?”
Toshiro felt helpless once again, helplessness being an ordinary feeling when living together with Rangiku every day, he thought.
He then took a few steps forward, up to his lieutenant’s back, then started to zip up the dress quite slowly, utterly cautious not to pinch his lieutenant’s back or to stuck in some hair. Good thing they couldn’t see each other, he thought, since he’d definitely better not have Rangiku see his blushing face. It required tremendous efforts not to just gaze at Rangiku’s soft skin, so he focused as much as possible on the zipper itself.
“What’s the matter captain, why so slow? You really are going to make us la...”
“I swear, say it, just try to say it and i’ll instantly freeze any alcohol you’ll try to swallow during the party.”
It was Rangiku’s turn to be happy about her captain not seeing her face, since she had a horrified look on it, which was quite uncute. She could totally see him making fun of it for the next months or so.
“You wouldn’t dare...right...?”
“We’re done.” simply said Toshiro. “Are you ready yet?”
“Yup!” answered Rangiku. “Shall we go?”
At that, Toshiro nodded. Then Rangiku took his arm.
“What on earth are you doing?” he asked, skeptical.
“Come on, i’m not going to a wedding unaccompanied, am I?” Rangiku replied. “I hope you’ve done everything you wanted to do with this arm, because I’m not letting it go for a while.” she added, a teasing smile on her mouth.
“Alright, let’s go.” simply agreed Toshiro, without any other contestation.
And then, they went on their way.
“...you won’t freeze the booze, right?”
