This fic takes place in episode 8, after Gintoki's and Kondo's duel about Otae-san.

"Iteee!" Gin cried.
"Gin-san"
Gin looked up, still crying. "O-Otae-san"
"Baka..." she shighed, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. She sat down beside him. "You really are an idiot"
"That's not nice said, Otae-san"
"Hmm... So, why should I care? You're never nice to Shinpachi, are you"
"That's something completley different..." Gin muttered.
"Really...? Otae gave him a warm smile. Gin quikcly looked away. Geez, why am I blushing?

They were quiet for a while. Then, Gin broke the silence. "Could you tell me why you said that I was your fiancee"
"Oh, that..." Otae sat quiet for a while, as if she was thinking of how to tell what she was going to tell him. "I guess that it was partly to get rid of that annoying, pestering stalker, but"

"So!" she suddenly said.
"Huh"
"It's one of these years when a girl is able to propose, didn't you know"
"W-hy- why- why... would y-you... ask m-me s- something like t-that...?" Gin stuttered.
"Isn't it obvious?" Otae sighed.
"N-no... I don't t-think so..." Gin sweated fiercley now. He was hoping that he had only misunderstood her.
"I mean exactly what I said. So, what is your answer"
"I... Say... I say... why not..." Gin stuttered out.
"That's great!" Otae said, leaning over him and giving him a kiss.
