When; Aug. 16 afternoon
Rating; R Sands has a mouth on him and it's nekkid day
Characters; Sands blind_shot and Ran 10thdiv_haineko
Summary; Sands volunteered Ran for a mission so he's using that as an excuse to come to her place.
Log;

Now he can't see them. It's one more thing he's missing out on. Sands wishes he saw more sunsets, more landscapes, more lesbian porn.
He makes his way to Ran's apartment with a blank look that signifies nervousness. They seem to be getting along today when usually he's just annoying the crap out of her. Punching Norrington and threatening Jack was a mistake. Though both satisfying. He's become possessive. It's never been that way before and prefers not to dive too deeply into the reasons.
Especially when he has a headache. It started shortly before he left his building and now it's strong enough to cause him to sway in front of her door. He didn't shoot up before coming, not wanting to be too out of it. With one hand he knocks. The other leans his cane against the wall to pop open a bottle of Advil which he's been chewing like tic tacs the whole way there.

"I came here because I like hanging out with you." He's hanging on to that with a bulldog tenacity.
"And I felt one of my migraines coming. Thought I should get out and be normal before taking up the fetal position again."

His hand slides from her shoulder down to her back as his head tilts in an automatic movement to cover his face with his hair.
From this up close it's far too much. Even if it's not for her- to him it's like having his worst feature under a microscope and studied by the one person he wants to have sex with. By time she's facing him is hair is a curtain between their faces and his head is pointed to the side and down. The sunglasses come back out now.
"Glad to hear it. You didn't tell me much but I like the guy's style. And any man named after hard liquor is okay with me."
Now he's just talking out of his ass.

She knows better, honestly. She knows he's here for many reasons, some he won't tell her, but she doesn't have a smart remark for him. She doesn't get angry and demand to know what's going on. Instead, she slides her hands into his hair again and murmurs, "he was a liar and a traitor. He hurt a good many people on his way out of Seireitei. He was the one man that broke me."

Sands leans his forehead against hers.
"It's debatable if I can be a traitor without first being loyal to something, isn't it?
I may be a liar and a murderer. But I have no desire to break you. What do I get for one out of three?"

"We're all liars and murderers if you think about it... it's the last one that matters most... "

Since I'm still broken.

Long fingers rake through his hair and slip down against this cheeks as she brushes a light kiss across the tip of his nose.

"You get my gratitude. Is there anything else you want?"

This is too much. He's mentally kicking the shit out of himself for not moving. For being a coward. He traveled across a rioting town with his eyes seeping down his face but a naked Rangiku in his arms stops him completely.
"I want plenty. I just...I..." His mind switches over like changing a channel. Reality too much for you? Love life a confusing disappointment? Have some Paula Abdul.
For no reason at all Straight Up starts to play in his head. This is the benefit of being fucking insane.

"Straight up, now tell me
Do you really wanna love me forever
Oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?"
He gives a short laugh and kisses her cheek.

"Be gentle with me, Hot Lips, I'm a torn man." Both arms pulls her toward him and he holds her there in an effort to think.
"I can't. I want to but it doesn't work." He's not just talking about his penis.
"I don't know how to be with a woman without fucking it up. If we got an outside line I would have you call all my ex's. Some have restraining orders. All of them hate my black, scheming, little guts. With me- this is as good as it gets."

For a moment longer, she's content to rest against him before she pulls away and stands up, still stroking his cheek as she moves.

"Well. Seems like we have a few things in common, too. If that's as good as it gets, then that's alright. Neither of us is really whole."

Her hand drops away from his face after they trace over his lips one more time. "Such a shame... I wanted to know what those lips felt like on my skin... ah well."

She moves away and starts to step towards her bedroom, then pauses.

"You're welcome to stay if you like. The couch is comfortable, or you can take the bed if you want. I can sleep anywhere." She can't help but chuckle at the last comment.

"...Thanks."
As soon as she leaves he shoves his hand down his pants just to check. Sands hasn't been this turned on in since getting here. Nothing.
Falling face first into the cushions he curses for a long time. If that didn't do it for him it's final He's a limp noodle for the rest of his life. A beautiful woman that wants him despite the injuries and he still can't have her. It's enough to man a man weep.

Pushing himself off the sofa he goes to her room (hitting his shin on something half way there. If she couldn't hear him coming she now knows from the cursing and hopping up and down).
He comes to a door he hopes is the right one and not a closet or this will just make him look like a fool.

"Ranguki?" Sands comes in slowly, kicking his shoes off as he explains himself. "I just- I want to stay with you. Just let me sleep here. I can't sleep anymore."
It takes drugs to knock him out. Sands doesn't so much sleep as pass the fuck out. But he thinks that for once he could if she's there. Just one night so he doesn't go insane.
Leaving his shirt in a pile and climbing into bed with his pants still on he wraps himself around Ran and slips into what can be described as a pleasant coma for the next six hours.
