Moments of Forever
To Live Forever
Sometimes, Okita felt he could live forever.
At times like when through the thin rice paper walls of the compounds he could hear a heckled Hijikata hollering at Tetsu-kun again, snippets of the conversation filtering in about spilt tea and wet bedding, Okita would laugh quietly into his hands, Saizou watching him with puzzled little eyes.
When Shinpachi had just ran by him reading on the porch at a neck-breaking speed, Heisuke close on his heels and both were screaming in a not so imaginary fear of the chasing Sanosuke who had purple and green strips drawn all over his face, a deed most likely earned by getting roaring drunk at last night's banquet no doubt, Okita would giggle and smile at the trio's daily antics.
When Ayu-nee popped her pretty handkerchiefed head into the door way of Hijikata's room as Okita sat chattering and Hijikata sat listening, a plateful of sweet little red bean mochi as well as some hot green tea on a wooden platter in her hands, Okita's eyes would grow big and round with happiness, clapping his hands like a little boy and grinning as he helped Ayu-nee with her plate of treats.
And when the night was still and cold, Toshi would pull a blanket around his small shoulders and scolded him with eyes that did not reflect the harshness of his words to not stay up so late in the cold. Souji would lean against the older man who would then say nothing as they sat there, the two of them not needing words as they just sat there, warmed by the other's presence and wishing that the dawn would not come.
At these times, Okita wished he could live forever.
