Heaven for climate, Hell for company

You wear them so well, those razor blade smiles.

Gin’s parents were one of those couples that were high school sweethearts, went to the same college, got married after graduation and then, after a couple years of living together, realized they hated each other. Gin was born to save their marriage but his birth turned out to be rather anti-climactic and, instead, he only provided a new category for arguments. Shortly after his fifth birthday, Mom found a pair of earrings in Dad’s car that she was sure didn’t belong to her. The divorce went over quickly and, conveniently, Mom was offered a better job with the same company in Maryland a month later. She abandoned the suburban town they’d lived in for five years, taking Gin with her.

This shuffling of location became a trend in Gin’s life seeing as his mother worked for a big time accounting firm and developed a habit of accepting every transfer to a new office, even if the new position was only a half-step up from her current one. From Maryland they went to Tampa, shifted over to Orlando, then moved to Cleveland, then to the Lysgar area where they stayed for around three years, then to San Diego. Every other holiday Gin took a plane to Seattle, where his father worked on the fifty-billionth floor of some tower in the city, and spent whatever time he had off of school with him.

Gin’s mother was always focused on work, so most days Gin was left to his own devices in an empty apartment. After he turned thirteen his mother thought he was responsible enough to be home alone after school and stopped searching for babysitters. After he hit fifteen, his mother would leave on short business trips, asking the neighbors to check in on Gin while she was gone. Over the years, what developed was an enigmatic personality that would set Gin apart from others and a cheerful, carefree smile that gradually became less and less sincere.

One New Years’ evening brought Gin to an unconscious girl with golden-orange hair waiting for death as the soft, white snow piled up around her. As one would with a stray animal, he took her from the streets (or, park, rather), cleaned up her life and inadvertently became more attached to her then he’d originally meant to. Because of his own uncertainty, Matsumoto Rangiku was left to decipher his feelings for her on her own while he contradicted himself at every turn. Fate took Gin away from the problem in the form of another move and he settled with the idea of abandoning her without any sense of closure.

Grades had never been a problem for Ichimaru Gin, seeing as he could hear something once and remembered it for years afterward. It was no surprise when he was accepted to the UCLA School of Architecture and garnered enough scholarship money to pay for seventy percent of the tuition. His father covered what ever the scholarships didn’t, thinking of it as making up for all the remedial years he missed.

During his time at UCLA, Gin was introduced to Aizen Sousuke, a student one year ahead of him, and became sort of attached to him – joining in on his study groups, associating with him outside of school, and, in his senior year, rooming with him and one other boy in an apartment.

Through an internship he’d started his senior year at UCLA, Gin was set up with a comfy job right out of college and worked in the general LA area until the company announced a new project up north they needed a few more team members for. After checking where exactly ‘up north’ was, Gin accepted the job. Whether it was because of the spark of familiarity he’d gotten when he read the location or because he’d simple wanted a change in scenery, Gin wasn’t sure, but either way, he felt drawn to the city.

Trusting the city to arrange for a living space, Gin transferred, though the apartment that was provided wasn’t quite what he expected – Lysgar. Planning to find a new apartment complex in a better side of town once he had the time, Gin decided it would have to work until he was provided a better option.
