midnight textings

[cherrytrees]

The Midnight Texting Meme It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out! Rules: ● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed ● Tag others ● Have fun!

*waves a tentacle* hello

[coldscales]

hey u up? just remembered we forgot to go over the budget due tomorrow hahaha

[Sent at a time when Gin knew Kira would be sleeping, naturally.]

sobs in third division

[decapitating]

[ Nothing good ever comes from a text that wakes a person up, but Kira has too much responsibility to sleep through that good ol' ding.

"You said you'd taken care of it" is absolutely off the table. It's probably Kira's own fault for not reminding him.

Maybe. ]

Captain...
What time tomorrow? I'll be right over.

Reeeeee

[coldscales]

[Well, it’s not like Gin’s gonna own up for forgetting the paperwork. That’s what lieutenants are for! Pushing his jobs and/or responsibilities off onto!]

you can’t come over now? :( we’re both awake and everything! i’d even make tea!

plus there’s a pretty big stack with your name on it…you wouldn’t push it off until tomorrow, would you? procrastination isn’t very becoming in a lieutenant

[decapitating]

[ oh no! he'd absolutely sleepily been misunderstood. ]

I meant the deadline for submission. The time slipped my mind.

No matter; I'll work hard to have it completed before sunrise. Are you sure you don't want me to make the tea? If I'm imposing on your company in the first place.

[coldscales]

[In all fairness, it’s not like Gin reads texts very thoroughly. And if he misunderstands, well, it’s not like anyone’s gonna walk up to him and say ‘Captain Ichimaru! You missed my meaning, you dunce!’. He has terror-induced immunity.]

well…if you insist…i wouldn’t be opposed to some of my lovely kira’s tea!

it’ll have to be done before the captain’s meeting, which means, oh, eight? nine? something like that

[decapitating]

Then I'm sure there's enough time for me to finish and for you to get some good rest before the meeting.

[ for Kira to work while Gin gets some good rest?

he'd never dream of insinuating such a thing. ]

I'll see you at the Third Divison HQ in just a moment.

[coldscales]

[Gin could rest. Or he could sit behind Kira and pester him. Decisions, decisions…]

how lovely!

[Humming to himself, Gin pockets his phone - aah, what a wonderful idea, adopting this bit of human technology - and rises, pulling his haori off of the ground where he’d dropped it in a crumpled mess and tugging it over his shoulders.

His Kira-chan will be here soon; he has to be presentable!]

[decapitating]

[ And he's off, too.

If only the HQ by moonlight were a less familiar sight. Kira was used to late nights and early mornings, and it really was nothing short of a miracle that he hadn't fallen asleep in the office to begin with. ​]

What would you like to drink, Captain?

[ the pile of paperwork on the table is tremendous and he needs some strength to attempt it... ]

[coldscales]

[It really is an impressive amount of paperwork. Gin probably should have done some himself, but it’s just more fun to push it off onto Kira!]

Hm…I have some matcha around here somewhere. [Gin waves vaguely at the shelves behind Kira.]

I hope you’re nice ‘n awake, Kira! Wouldn’ want you to fall asleep on me!

[He punctuates the words by giving his eyebrows a good wiggle in Kira’s direction. It’s easier said than done, since he keeps his eyes all but closed the whole time.]

[decapitating]

[ If he'd been sleepy at all, that had changed the moment he'd seen the Captain Ichimaru pop up on his phone. There was something about talking to Gin that was like getting splashed in the face with cold water. ]

Of course!

[ He tries to ignore the wiggling eyebrows - but that, too, is easier said than done. He'll just boil some water, grab the first paper off stack-- ​]

Captain, do we really need to requisition all of these paperclips?

[coldscales]

[Gin looks almost offended at the question, reaching under his desk and pulling out a paperclip chain of impressive proportions.]

Of course we need those! Captain Kurotsuchi and I have a bit of a competition, see? He recently said that his chain is over sixty meters long, ‘n I won’t let him beat me!

[Deliberately, watching Kira the whole time, Gin adds another paperclip to the chain and drops the whole amalgamation back under his desk.]

Next thing I know you’ll be asking me ‘bout the ducks!
