Yesterday's drabble never made it. Forty-nine words in I realized I was never going to make a point here and put aside my Matsumoto/Orihime for the moment. Once I actually read the Arrancar stuff in the actual cannon manga/anime (rather than net spoilers) then maybe I'll be able to write their very there, cannon, shojo-ai interaction (according to some people).
Now for today's, trying to be serious:
Title: “Differences”
Fandom: Bleach
Characters: Tatsuki, Tousen
Rating: PG
Word Count: 135
Time: 24 minutes
Spoilers: Spoilers for Soul Society arc and some little bits for Arrancar arc
Disclaimer: Bleach not mine.
Both of them were practical. Both were quiet and principled.
Tousen did his best to follow the path of least bloodshed, like Kawane Chini, his friend.
Tatsuki hit people who threatened her friends.
Tousen joined Aizen to bring true justice to the world.
Tatsuki taught Orihime karate and never said a word about anyone’s leaving in the middle of class or their “summer trip.”
Tousen cut off Grimmjow’s arm because it was the righteous thing to do and Aizen wouldn’t let him do worse.
Tatsuki beat up bullies who made Orihime cry, but didn’t do any permanent damage because it wouldn’t be honorable to so.
Tatsuki protects her friends and Tousen protects his friend’s memory.
Maybe one of them was a bit more honest. Maybe there’s none so blind as those who will not see.
