[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Well most get really drunk I do it to forget my past thats all. And I'm glad I have you Captain."

She smiles

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— At least that isn't a headache for me—or for you either, I suppose. Sometimes I envy the fact that you have such control over your drinking; other Soul Reapers likely envy your control, too. —

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"No not anymore."

She smiles.

"Don't worry Captain. "

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— So you're not like that anymore? I'm only asking this because it's not about testing, but just to confirm. —

If Rangiku really does have a higher alcohol tolerance, Hitsugaya could relax a bit more about it. Or at least try...

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Im used to it Captain."
She gave him a soft smile as she looked at him as she felt the breeze.

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— And you don't end up feeling sick from drinking so much? Or are you already used to it and don't develop any problems with alcohol? —

Even Soul Reapers can get drunk like humans, but if Matsumoto's Reiatsu is really high, then it's not a problem.

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Well I'm sure you had a horrible past as well Shiro."

She looked at him.

"I drink to forget."

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— You're saying that as if it's an advantage to forget what happened yesterday... Which I don't exactly see as an advantage... —

At least that's how Hitsugaya understood what Rangiku said.

— Good thing I don't drink something like that. —

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"I know Captain but it makes me forget about everything that has happened and my past."

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— Sometimes I think you should drink in moderation, so you can avoid a terrible hangover in the morning. —

This might help her stay focused on her work, but Hitsugaya fears that won't happen, knowing his lieutenant very well.

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"I hope it always stays this way and I'm usually drunk when I fall asleep at work."

She laughs again

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— And I hope it stays that way. Just as I know you appreciate the way I make you happy, even though sometimes I need to be a little strict when you fall asleep at work. —

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Well I'm glad I make you feel that way captain."

She laughs

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— I appreciate you saying that, truly... Because if there's one person who can leave me speechless, it's precisely you. Sometimes I don't even know how to respond to you... —

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"You said all the right things Shiro."

She smiled

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— Did I say something I shouldn't have? —

The captain himself seemed surprised by what he said, a slight red blush also visible.

— I was just trying to be honest, because you're unique to me. —

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

Her face went red hearing what the Captain said and hid her face behind her hands not knowing what to say

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— You really did it... Although I figured that at some point I'd end up liking you this way. —

What he was saying wasn't that he foresaw he would like Rangiku.

— You were determined to win me over, and I like that about you, Rangiku. —

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

with @@LieutenantMatsu

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

Smiling as she spotted the captain blushing.

"Oh so you love Himamori too as you do me. Well I'm glad I claimed you first before she did."

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

A blush spread across Hitsugaya's face when Rangiku said that, making him look slightly away.

— W-W-Well... Of course I care about Hinamori, truly. But you managed to win me over in a way that made me feel the same way you do, and quickly too. —

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Yeah you're right since Issin was our captain before i guess fate brought us together don't ya think."

She smiles at the thought.

"And here I thought you loved Momo."

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— Even more so if I hadn't excelled throughout my training and had the chance to join Squad 10. Maybe it wasn't luck, but simply an opportunity I couldn't refuse. —

He let out a laugh, seeming genuinely pleased to have Rangiku as his lieutenant.

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"I know Captain." She smiled.

"And you know i wanna spend the rest of my life with you. "

She watched the cold breath from his mouth.

"Well i wouldnt be your lieutenant if we werent suppose to be together as a team to protect the Soul Society."

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— Just as I will be by your side as well, as a promise I will keep alive within me. —

A cold sigh escaped the captain, showing that he was truly pleased to have Rangiku's trust above all else.

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Yeah i mean lots of our comrades died during the war with Aizen and Yhwach." She smiled looking at Shiro.

"Yeah ill always support you Shiro no matter what."

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— What you're saying makes it seem like we're immortal, even knowing we could die in dangers like Aizen or Yhwach. —

Still, what Rangiku said was true. They wouldn't age as quickly as in the human world.

Cont.

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Yes we still have our responsibilities as Captain and lieutenant but we will always have each other even if we don't age like humans do."

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

She rolled her eyes. "Yes paperwork is a drag but also dealing with other captains especially Kenpachi he always wants ro fight Ichigo or someone stronger. We lost a lot of Soul Reapers in that last war."

She reached and held his hand.

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— That's just because I'm always having to sign papers, train every Soul Reaper in Squad 10, and sometimes having to deal with another captain. And all of that overwhelms me. —

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"You sure about that?'

She tried to move but her leg got stuck

"Cough... just a scratch!"

* The Cyborg would have spun all 3 blades, proceeding with a combo of side attacks against The Shinigami. She was skilled than he thought *

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Im glad to be by your side Shiro."

She smiled seeing that smile of his as they walked through the gate to the world of the living.

Leaving the gate feeling the light breeze through her long hair as she held his hand.

"Well those bad moods you get in isn't really good Shiro."

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— I appreciate you telling me that. Because I can't always believe I have a lieutenant like you by my side. —

Again, a small smile appeared on Hitsugaya's face as they continued walking, opening the gate to the world of the living.

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

She smirked and saw the damage she had done to him

[𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕪𝕓𝕠𝕣𝕘 𝔾𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝 @ArmoredMenace]

* Being slowed down by her strikes on his back, losing one of the lightsabers. Despite the loss of a limb, he still had three blades to unleash on The Lieutenant *

[ᴍᴀᴛꜱᴜᴍᴏᴛᴏ @LieutenantMatsu]

"Well Captain I'm glad to be your lieutenant and lover plus friend. And you made me proud the way you took over Isshin after he left to be with his family."

She smiled.

[❄️𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙮ō𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙪❄️ @Dragonic_Ice]

— Just as I'm content to be your captain. Only you can make me feel like the happiest captain in the Soul Society. —

A small laugh could be heard from Hitsugaya's cold breath, but he appreciated how full of life Rangiku was to him.
