A/N: Yo! This is my first fanfic for Gintama! I've got this idea stuck in my head for a long time now and guess what, I realized that I love GinHiji pair after watching episode 166! Well, I'm not good in grammar so expect some errors. I hope you'll still read it and enjoy it even if the story is a bit (no, really) confusing, crappy and long!
Warning/s: Bad words, shounen-ai, unreasonable scenes, and sudden violence.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama and other shows, but I want to!
Summary: Gin proposed a marriage proposal to Hijikata abruptly because of a picture he found in the war that saved his life. Hating the sugar freak, Hijikata searched for the contract (that Sougo forced him to sign) to cancel their wedding. With Sougo complicating their situation, will Hijikata still succeed and what is Gin's true motive about his proposal?
At the Shinsengumi headquarters, the demon vice-commander, Hijikata Toshirou, enjoyed his free time in smoking while looking at the clear blue sky from his room. It's been awhile since he finished his paper works early. Even if he's workaholic, having a break once for awhile was still essential.
It was really peaceful . . . not until a cannon ball headed straight to his face.
"BOOM~!"
"Eh? Why are there fireworks in the morning, Hijikata-san?" the sadistic first squad captain, Okita Sougo, said with a dead-toned voice while walking towards the victim, leaving his cannon behind the bushes.
Hijikata, all burnt up, exclaimed, "Those are not freakin' fireworks! It's obviously a cannon ball! Right beside me! Are you still trying to kill me?"
"I'm just trying to cheer you up. You looked like you want to die early when I saw you staring at the sky like that," he reasoned out, earning him a retort from the raven-haired guy.
"You're not trying to cheer me up! You're just attempting to kill me!"
After a few seconds of silence, Sougo showed a serious look. Hijikata noticed it so he waited the brown-haired lad to speak.
"Say, Hijikata . . ."
"What is it?"
"How long are you gonna stay as a 'virgin'?"
Hijikata growled madly, "Wha-What are you saying? Brats like you mustn't say 'virgin' to unmarried people like me! It's inappropriate for our readers, too!"
"Then, when are you gonna find the person you wanted to spend your whole life with . . . in 'hell'?" he asked with deadly eyes while unsheathing his blade slowly.
"Just stop asking threatening questions and go to hell, you sadist! You just want a new victim of your sadism!"
"Vice-commander!" a bald guy in black uniform suddenly interrupted their supposed serious conversation.
"What's the problem?" he turned to hear out the bald guy's news.
"A silver-haired samurai is looking for you."
"Eh? Why is he here?"
"Umm . . . It's better if I keep my mouth shut about this kind of business, sir."
Hijikata displayed a puzzled look on his face when he saw the guy sweating nervously while walking away stiffly.
"Maybe Danna wants to kill you this time, too. Your face is too annoying after all, Hijikata-san," guessed Sougo innocently.
"Why are you so desperate to get me killed, you bastard?" he questioned with a sweat drop while they walked towards the main hall of their base. Every step he took, he felt a bad omen, warning him to back off right now but for some reason, he wanted to see his greatest rival. He liked the silver-perm's fighting spirit. Ever since Gin defeated him in their first battle, his life became more interesting . . . though their lives were always on the line. If he was asked to describe Gin, he would probably say that the silver-haired samurai is harder to tame than any beasts and he's also one hell of a sugar freak.
Once he slid open the door of the designated place, his sharp cobalt eyes caught sight of the bouquet of roses abruptly which was held by a familiar guy in black suit. Sougo went inside first, leaving the frozen vice commander beside the door. For sure, he knew there was something not right in here . . .
"Oh! Sougo! Toshi! Perfect timing! 'Man in black' is about to tell me his business here," said Kondo Isao, the gorilla-looking commander of Shinsengumi while sitting on a mat beside the silver-haired guy, Sakata Gintoki.
"What do you mean gorilla-looking? I'm prince-looking!"
Gin protested, "Oi! I'm not 'man in black'! I'm Will Smithen!"
Hijikata both smacked them in the head, "Be serious in this fanfiction, you jerks!"
The two guys, who've just arrived in the room, sat on the mats across Kondo and Gin. Hijikata felt more anxious as he faced the bringer of misfortune. Like he expected, it was . . . true.
Gin gave Hijikata the bouquet and opened a certain small velvet box in front of him. When he saw the oh-so-familiar thing inside it, the silver-haired samurai grinned sheepishly, saying, "Will you marry me, Hijikata-kun?"
Hijikata blinked.
Sougo smirked evilly.
Kondo committed seppuku . . . right now.
"Commander~!" all the members of Shinsengumi cried out behind the sliding doors, revealing themselves as eavesdroppers.
"Umm . . . What did you say again? I think my ears are malfunctioning . . ."
"Hijikata-kun! Will you m-a-r-r-y me?" shouted Gin at the top of his lungs, making Hijikata as pale as a corpse.
"EHHHHH?"
-"Marriage is a Lifetime Commitment, so be Faithful!"-
(Part I)
"As a matter of fact, the idea of marrying you came across my mind when I was in the battlefield . . .," the silver-haired guy started to explain while the eavesdroppers were already inside the meeting place, listening to his explanation.
"Why are you in flashback mode? Will you stop it, you bastard? And, why all of the squads of Shinsengumi are here? Do you wanna commit seppuku?" exclaimed Hijikata.
"Hijikata-san, shut up, or your mouth will explode," replied Sougo, putting a big bomb in the raven-haired guy's mouth and showing a lighter near it. The sadist was willing to hear out Gin's story so he could blackmail Hijikata whenever he liked to slack off.
"The war was too cold . . . As a soldier, I knew that there's no way I can live longer. Day by day in the battlefield, I was mentally ready to die . . . However!"
"Oi! When did you go to a war?" wondered Hijikata with a bitter expression on his face.
All of them were tense to know what would happen next so they're sweating and gulping.
"A ray of hope shone in front of me as I found a picture of a raven-haired guy, wearing a Shinsengumi uniform as he ate a big bowl of ramen with mayonnaise. I also looked its back and saw a short message, saying, "Burn it up if found." After picking it up, a big bomb exploded right in front of me! I just realized that the picture actually saved my life! If I didn't stop in my tracks, I must be dead by now!"
"Oooohhhh~!" all of them were awed except for one person.
"Wait a minute! Isn't that a part of the 'The Lucky One's plot'? And, how did you find that picture? I know that I kept it in my locked drawer!" yelled Hijikata after throwing away the bomb from his mouth.
Sougo whistled innocently while twirling a picklock around his finger.
Gin continued, "When that miracle happened to me upon picking up that picture, I promised to myself that I will search for this person who saved my life no matter where he is."
Then he gazed at Hijikata's cobalt eyes warmly as he added, "And, that person who saved my life is the person I already know and hated the most. I believe that fate lead me to him."
"Awwwww~! How sweet~!" they sighed in delight. Who could have ever thought that somebody likes their demonic vice-commander?
"Sougo, will you kill me now with your bazooka?" asked Hijikata weakly while his spirit was about to leave his body after hearing Gin's out-of-character words.
"No way. You'll be able to live the happiest life from now on, Hijikata-san," the brown-haired lad responded with an evil smile plastered on his face.
-~- GINTAMA -~-
The next morning . . .
"Everyone! Please come to the upcoming wedding of the infamous Shiroyasha and the demon vice-commander of Shinsengumi! We're looking forward in seeing you there!" shouted Yamazaki as he threw small posters in their cafeteria. Everyone were squealing in joy when they heard it. Truth be told, they're overjoyed to know that there's a chance their vice-commander would be absent for a few days to get ready for his wedding.
They cheered loudly, "Long live the demon vice-commander and Shiroyasha!"
"SHUT UP!" screamed Hijikata as he kicked Yamazaki to the nearest wall. All of them became silent when they saw a dying Yamazaki. But, a certain lad spoke up while eating a bowl of rice.
"Don't be like that, Hijikata-san. You're getting married soon, right? We are just glad to know that you're leaving Shinsengumi for good, you know," said Sougo, making munching sounds as he ate his rice.
"Me? Getting married to that sugar freak? Don't play dumb, Sougo! You forced me to sign that damn contract! I'll never forgive you, you bastard!" he grabbed Sougo's collar and glared at him intently like he was ready to kill.
"Eh? But, you insisted me to be your best man in the wedding," he countered calmly.
"In your freakin' dreams!"
"Stop fighting, you two!" warned Kondo as he walked towards them (and ignored Yamazaki's plea for help).
Hijikata let go of the sadist's collar and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Tch!"
Sougo stuck out his tongue for a moment to tease him. Trying to control his temper, Hijikata just ignored him and faced their commander who looked very happy yet worried at the same time.
He thought nervously, "Shit! Kondo-san is probably thinking that I want to get married with that bastard! I must tell him the truth before it's too late!"
Before he could speak, Kondo interrupted, "Toshi, I . . . I don't know what to say but I'm really proud of you . . . I'm amazed that you're finally getting married with the person you love. I'm no match with you since Otae-chan wouldn't still accept my feelings . . .When you're having problems with Gin-san, don't hesitate to ask for some advice, okay?"
"Damn it," he cursed under his breath.
Kondo added with a pat, "Oh! I also told the Edo citizens to come to your wedding! I hope you two will enjoy it!"
"I want to die . . .," he mumbled with a gloomy face, hoping Sougo would attempt to kill him.
At the Yorozuya's place . . .
"Gin-san, is it true that you proposed to Hijikata-san yesterday?" asked Shimura Shinpachi, the black-haired lad with a pair of geeky eyeglasses, while wiping the table.
"My eyeglasses are not geeky!"
Gin looked at him lazily while pricking his nose on his seat and resting his feet on his desk, "Huh? To Hijikata-kun? Yeah, we're getting married."
"Eh . . . You two are getting married . . . "
Silence.
Then, realization hit Shinpachi hard. "What? Marry? Are you crazy? You two are guys, right? You even don't have a stable relationship with him before! It's only a joke of yours, right? It will never happen in million years!"
"Joke? Are you thinking that my love for Hijikata-kun is a joke? Don't make me laugh, Shinpachi. If you want proof, I have this contract that shows Hijikata's agreement to marry me!" he showed the said contract to Shinpachi that sent a lightning bolt towards the boy with eyeglasses because of too much shock.
"It cannot be true!"
"It's true! He's my soulmate! Plus, he has a lot of money! I can buy anything I want when I'm finally with him!" he bragged with folded arms.
Shinpachi speculated with a sweat drop, "You're just after his money, aren't you?"
Suddenly, a Chinese orange-haired girl with big blue eyes entered the room while carrying a big box. She's humming happily as she sat on the sofa.
The black-haired lad greeted her, "Good morning, Kagura-chan. You seem happy today. What are you carrying?"
"Oh, this? This is my . . ."
Then she pulled out a pretty white dress from the box as she continued, ". . . bridesmaid dress!"
Shinpachi's mouth hanged open.
"Wow! That's a pretty dress, Kagura! It suits you well! I'm glad I chose you as our bridesmaid," complimented Gin while clapping his hands.
She jumped in joy, "Really? Yipee! I can eat lots of food at your wedding, Gin-chan! Can I also eat your wedding cake?"
"No way in hell! That's not one of our agreements, so no way! That's my grand dessert!"
"Tch! Stingy!" she pouted.
Shinpachi sweated, "You've already made an agreement? And, it's all about food? Why are you both so concerned about that?"
Gin faced him, "Oh, before I forget . . . Shinpachi, you are the ring bearer! So, find yourself a decent suit now and practice daily! I don't want a lousy ring bearer on my wedding! Do you understand?"
"I think there's something wrong here . . .This isn't right," murmured Shinpachi to himself as he observed Gin getting too excited on his upcoming wedding with Hijikata, whom he didn't get along with from the very beginning. Was he having a nightmare? To find out, he went to Sadaharu and let his head get chomped by the cute beast. When blood started dripping from his head, he concluded, "This is a nightmare . . . really."
Meanwhile at the Kabuki district streets, Hijikata was walking there, deep in thought, with his hands inside his pockets. He didn't even bother checking his cigarette, which was already short, between his lips. He still couldn't recover from the shock he felt when Sougo forcefully made him put his finger print and signature on the contract Gin brought yesterday. Because of the sadist's dirty work, his fate was already sealed . . . He was Gin's soon-to-be husband . . . He imagined himself wearing a white suit and waiting at the altar as he watched Gin, wearing a white gown and holding a small bouquet of white roses, walking on the red carpet. When he's already beside him, they held hands and faced the priest. As the priest said, "You may kiss the bride.", he slowly lifted up Gin's veil and they kiss~ What the heck? Why was he giving up and accepting the fact that he's getting married to that bastard? He's Hijikata Toshirou, damn it! He would never let it happen!
"I would rather commit seppuku rather than marrying that bastard!" he shouted desperately as he ran off towards the direction of the Yorozuya's place.
"My, my! Young people these days aren't faithful in marriage," an elder woman said after hearing the raven-haired guy's shout.
Back at the Shinsengumi headquarters, Sougo was sitting on the corner outside his room while looking at his deceased sister's photo. Kondo, who passed by and noticed him reminiscing, halted and joined him there.
"Sougo, do you already miss your dear sister?" he asked with a sympathetic look.
Sougo just nodded his head in response.
"I see . . ."
Then they remained quiet for a couple of minutes until the first squad captain spoke up.
"Kondo-san, the truth is, Danna told me something last week about my dear sister . . . before she reached her critical condition back then . . ."
-~- GINTAMA -~-
Outside Yorozuya's place, Hijikata watched Gin's movements with his binocular. It seemed like he's a stalker, obviously, but he didn't mind it because he's too focused in finding the contract. If he tore the contract into pieces and burnt them, their supposed wedding will cease for there's no more proof that he agreed to marry that sugar freak! He chuckled evilly as he thought of his brilliant plan. To activate his plan, he needed to wait for the Yorozuya to go outside so he could infiltrate their place. While he continued to watch Gin going inside a certain room, the raven-haired guy blushed when the silver-haired samurai was removing all of his clothes. Still determined to find the contract, he didn't blink so he saw Gin's naked body and more importantly, his ****.
Without even noticing, Hijikata had a nosebleed. "Oh . . . That's big . . . Hey! Why did I say a dirty remark?"
The people who saw him there thought that he was a pervert so they avoided him. Then he observed Gin taking a quick shower for ten minutes. He bit his lower lip when he felt something tingling inside him. Maybe he would be considered as a pervert if he still continue this. . . No! He mustn't think about his reputation this time! He must think about his future! After a few more minutes, he was relieved that Gin was done in taking a shower and clothing himself.
"Phew . . . Finally! I thought I will faint back then . . .," mumbled Hijikata, with a red face, as he wiped off the blood from his nose with his handkerchief. Then he waited another ten minutes before he saw the trio leaving their place. A big grin played on his lips when he caught no sight of them so he silently went upstairs and opened the window to break into the Yorozuya's place. Upon entering, he swiftly went to the silver-haired samurai's room first and looked for the contract there carefully.
"Where did he hide that damn contract?" he hissed as he opened a cabinet which was full of sweets.
"That sugar freak! He doesn't fear diabetes, huh? I better teach him a lesson."
He grabbed an empty garbage bag he saw in the living room and put all the sweets inside. With perfect timing, he threw the garbage bag outside the window and it went straight to a waiting garbage-collecting truck on the road.
"That will do," he smirked and left a bottle of mayonnaise inside the cabinet.
Meanwhile . . .
"Oh! I suddenly remember that I need to finish some business, guys! Will you two go to the market without me?" the silver-haired guy requested.
"Eh? You need to finish some business? I thought you've already finished them earlier, Gin-san," replied Shinpachi with a puzzled look.
"Yeah! Don't slack off in shopping, Gin-chan! That's unfair!" complained Kagura while carrying her usual parasol.
"I'm not slacking off, Kagura! Shinpachi, I need to go! There's something I need to finish first, so go on without me, okay? I'll catch up with you two later if I still can make it," he excused himself as he ran back to their apartment as fast as he could. He forgot to put his favorite strawberry milk in the refrigerator after all. How could he tell his lame business to those two?
When he entered to their place in a jiffy, he noticed someone rummaging inside his room.
"Someone is here . . . Who is this trespasser?" he wondered as he put his back against the wall to conceal himself. With the sun facing his room, he observed the shadow of a man kneeling and opening the drawers as if it was searching for something. When he found the shadow turning its back, Gin took it as a chance to tackle the trespasser. Thus he ran inside and tackled the man whose hair was familiar to him. With a loud thump, both of them groaned in pain, considering how heavy and powerful Gin was.
"Ouch, ouch . . .!"
"It hurts! Get off, you bastard!" a familiar voice protested.
"Ah! That voice . . ."
Gin focused his eyesight in front of him, only finding out that he tackled Hijikata who's currently underneath him.
"Hijikata-kun! Fancy meeting you here!" he greeted sheepishly.
"I said get off!"
Hijikata tried to push him away but he gripped his wrist quickly.
"I can't do that. The trespasser must tell first what is his business here," countered Gin with a playful grin while pressing his body against Hijikata so he couldn't escape.
The vice-commander felt his heart racing because of their close contact. He snarled, "It's none of your business!"
"Don't be like that, Hijikata-kun. We're getting married soon, right? You mustn't be secretive to your soon-to-be husband."
Hijikata interrupted angrily while throwing his fists on Gin's hard chest, "Shut up that mouth of yours! You make me sick, you bastard! With you proposing a marriage proposal to me for your own satisfaction, you make me like a shit! I couldn't even decline your damn proposal! I'm sick of you! You're ruining my life, Sakata Gintoki! I know you're only playing games on me!"
"Hijikata-kun, why are you crying . . . ?"
He denied, "I'm not crying!"
"No. You are."
Like Gin said, tears were falling from the corners of his eyes. This was the second time Gin saw him crying. The silver-haired samurai felt guilty as he observed the vulnerable vice-commander of Shinsengumi punching him weakly.
Gin told him seriously, "I'm not playing games on you, Hijikata-kun and I didn't propose to you to ruin your life . . ."
"Then, what? Answer me or I'll kill you!" he threatened, waiting for a convincing answer.
"I . . . ," he hesitated to answer as he recalled a certain woman's request, telling him, "Please, don't tell him my request, Gin-san. This is my last wish . . ."
Avoiding to answer him, Gin just cupped his cheeks and kissed him passionately but Hijikata didn't respond to it. He tried to refuse.
"Mmppff!" the vice-commander's retorts were muffled and Gin's heaviness prevented him to flee. Feeling weak to defend himself and to refuse Gin's intimacy, Hijikata couldn't protest anymore. His mouth parted and let Gin make their kiss deeper accidentally.
"Shit! I'm getting caught up to his flow . . .," he thought as he felt Gin's hands caressing his body. The silver-haired samurai eventually lost his self-control. He slid his tongue inside Hijikata's mouth and explored it sweetly. The vice-commander moaned when Gin's lips kissed his neck gently until Gin tried to remove his clothes.
"Stop it, you bastard . . . !"
"Toshirou . . . , marry me," whispered Gin to his left ear. Hijikata's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the curly-haired guy saying his first name and commanding him to marry him. That's absurd, he thought. They weren't close to each other and they even didn't go out on a date yet. But, why did he yearn for it?
"I . . . don't want to marry to the likes of you . . . and don't dare call my first name, you asshole!" he retorted as he kicked Gin's manhood in the middle, causing Gin to flip back and agonize in pain. Hijikata took this chance to stand up and flee from the Yorozuya's place . . . without trying to look back even once.
"That hurts, Hijikata-kun . . . It hurts," murmured Gin with tears flowing from his eyes because of the pain and rejection he felt when Hijikata left the room . . . and him alone.
"But still, I like you . . ."
The next following day . . .
"Hijikata-san, why do you have bags under your eyes?" asked the first squad captain of Shinsengumi while eating his yakisoba bread.
Hijikata grumbled sleepily, not touching his food yet, "Mind your own damn business, Sougo . . ."
"Did something happen between you and Danna? I heard from Yamazaki that he saw you peeking at Danna."
He unsheathed his sword with dreadful eyes abruptly, "Where is Yamazaki? I'll slash him a million times!"
The witness trembled in fear outside the room. He's breaking into tears.
"So, you did peek at him, Hijikata-san," countered Sougo with a dirty grin on his face.
"I-I didn't!" he denied furiously with a blush.
"No need to hide it from me, Hijikata-san. It's obvious that you're attracted to him. You're always fighting when you two meet and not to mention, you both get along when you need each other. You are a perfect pair, if you'd asked me."
"No . . . , we aren't," he mumbled as he stood up. When he's about to leave, Sougo added abruptly, "You didn't sleep at all because of Danna, right?"
"Not because of him, you brat," he growled and he showed his empty mayonnaise bottle. "It's because of this."
Then he left the room. Sougo took another bite of his food and snorted while hearing Yamazaki's scream for help, "What an idiot. I know you got a box of mayonnaise bottles in your room, Hijikata."
-~- GINTAMA -~-
"Gin-san, thank you for visiting me, bringing my favorite spicy senbei and telling me funny stories," said Okita Mitsuba, Sougo's pretty sister. They're in the hospital and rain continued to pour that day, making the setting gloomier. However, Gin made sure that it would never affect her illness so he's visiting her as many times as he could.
"I'm always at your service, Okita-kun's sister!" he saluted, causing her to giggle.
"Just call me Mitsuba, Gin-san."
He scratched his head, "Eh? But it's a little embarrassing for me to call you that."
"It's okay . . . or else~"
Then she started to cough like she's about to die because of it.
Gin panicked, "Okay, I get it! I'll just call you Mitsuba, right? Fine! I'll call you Mitsuba from now on!"
"Really? I'm glad," she stopped coughing and smiled.
He sighed in relief. Sougo's sister knew how to be a drama queen for her own benefit . . .
"Umm . . . You already heard that I'm getting married, right?"
He nodded lazily, "Yeah."
"Since I'll be happy when I get married, Gin-san . . . , can I make another request . . . for the sake of another person?"
"Sure! A professional freelancer like me will do anything for money-err . . . , I mean, for your happiness!"
She giggled, "Then, will you also make him happy?"
"Who?" he asked curiously.
"Will you also make Toshirou-san happy? I saw you two getting along well with each other."
"Eh? That mayo-monster? How? We're always fighting! And, how should I make him happy? By giving him his damn mayonnaise?"
She shook her head, "No, by-"
Kagura interrupted, "Gin-chan, give me my freakin' food!"
"What kind of request is that?" he cried out, waking up from his dream when he heard Kagura's scream for food.
"Gin-chan! Where is my FOOD?"
"Will you stop shouting for food? A lady shouldn't do that! Only bitches do that!" he nagged while yawning.
Putting his nagging aside, he dreamt of her again . . . Her request for Hijikata's happiness kept on replaying inside his mind. It's making him nuts. He did hate that bastard for sure but he couldn't even deny that he's starting to like that demon vice-commander of Shinsengumi. It's like the "the more you hate, the more you love" saying. In fact, he's beginning to worry when he proposed to Hijikata. He's sure that Hijikata didn't favor it because - one, they're both guys; two, they always fight; three, they have different food preferences; and last, Hijikata hates him. Period. However, he didn't like the main reason why he proposed to Hijikata. If the raven-haired guy heard about Mitsuba's last wish a.k.a. her request to Yorozuya, he would probably, no, definitely kill him by making him commit seppuku fifty times for tricking him. He was digging his own grave right now. As a matter of fact, he planned to forget her request many times but after four years of her death, he could still remember it so he tried to be brave and finally proposed to Hijikata without even undergoing as his boyfriend . . . Wait! Boyfriend? Of course! They must date like boyfriends do to gain his trust! Many couples got married because they dated many times. If they did this, he would have another reason why he proposed to him. It's not yet late! He must hurry! While he got up from his bed, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, drank his strawberry milk, fed Kagura, mocked Shinpachi, watched Ketsuno Ana on T.V., played with Sadaharu until his head almost got eaten, put Sa-chan in the garbage can, left the apartment silently to avoid Otose's demand for the payment of rent, got beaten by Otae and walked inside the headquarters of Shinsengumi, he realized something serious . . .
"How do boyfriends date, by the way?" he wondered with a dumbfounded face.
"Oh, Danna! What are you doing here in the morning?" asked Sougo, walking towards him.
"Okita-kun, good timing!" he replied with a thumbs up.
"Huh?" the sadist blinked.
After thirty minutes . . .
Hijikata was inside his room, doing his paper works quietly but the kiss he experienced with the sugar freak yesterday kept on distracting him, even in his sleep. So, he always made mistakes in his written reports and didn't sleep well last night. One by one, he crumpled the paper with errors and threw it behind him until it became a mountain of crumpled papers.
"This is bad . . . That bastard won't go out in my head! I can't make my work done here quickly!" he hissed while scratching his head with an irritated face. But the more he tried to push away Gin from his mind, the more he remembered clearly what Gin whispered to his left ear softly.
"Toshirou . . . , marry me."
He snapped as he scratched his head wildly before banging his fists on his table, "AAAHHH! Like I will! I hate you, you wavy-haired punk!"
He couldn't calm down now when his mind just kept on replaying the helpless moment he had with the silver-haired samurai and what's more, they're almost doing it inside Gin's room and he also let that bastard do what he pleased. To calm himself down, he tried to occupy his mind with his new investigations and to grab a new cigarette from his pocket. When he pulled his pack of Mayoboro out, he opened it and only found out that it's already empty.
"Shit! I run out of cigarettes . . . ," groaned Hijikata when he looked at his empty pack of cigarettes. Since smoking was almost a part of his lifestyle, he left immediately to buy some. He walked leisurely on the streets while observing the people walking and chatting happily. He noticed how Edo became more peaceful slowly as days went by. He also saw some Amanto respecting humans now, too. He felt a bit glad to witness it. He started to see what Gin had always wanted. A country without any war . . . Wait a minute! Did Gin really want that? Did he mention it? Damn it! Why was he thinking about that bastard again? He didn't care about him! When he's about to reach the vending machine of cigarettes, he saw a silver-haired guy kicking it. Being a police officer, he ran there and yelled at him, "Oi! Stop kicking the vending machine, you bastard! Or else, I'll arrest you for-"
Hijikata stopped talking when he gazed at the familiar pair of red eyes. It was him.
"Oh! Hijikata-kun! What a coincidence! I'm about to buy a pack of cigarettes but this junk just ate my money! Can you help me get this machine working?" requested Gin normally.
"In a time like this . . . When I don't want to see his irritating face . . . , he just keeps on showing up," he thought with an annoyed look. However, he didn't have a choice. He's a police officer so it's still his duty to help this bastard.
"Really? Then I'll help you out."
The vice-commander went closer to the vending machine and knelt down to check whether the pack of cigarettes was stuck in the tunnel of the machine or the money was properly put inside it. While he's checking it thoroughly, he questioned Gin critically, "When did you start smoking, you wavy-haired punk?"
Gin sweated, "Ahh . . . I'm not smoking! Someone just gave me a job to buy it."
"Eh? That person must be lazy to buy his own pack of cigarettes, don't you think?"
"No! He's not lazy! And, I want to clarify that that someone isn't the one who gave me the job . . . The truth is, I'm buying this for him."
He snarled, "You're so complicated, you idiot! Be clear at what you are saying!"
With too much annoyance, he also kicked the vending machine and then a pack of cigarettes successfully fell down.
"Oh, it fell down."
Gin mocked him, "Hijikata-kun, you said that I should stop kicking that junk, right? So, why, a police officer like you, kick it also?"
Hijikata blushed in embarrassment. He made an excuse, "Sometimes, things need to be treated badly to knock some sense to them, you know."
"Really? Does it work, too, to people?"
"Maybe . . ."
Gin smiled and bent down to pick up a pack of Mayoboro from the machine, "Thanks for helping me out and giving me a nice excuse, Hijikata-kun."
Hijikata blushed more when Gin noticed his lame excuse. Then the silver-haired samurai gave the Mayoboro to the raven-haired guy before adding, "This is for you, by the way. I hope you like it."
"Oi . . . What is this? You . . . That means I'm the one you-"
Gin cut off his sentence, "This is how someone treats his special someone, right?"
He felt his heart beating faster when he listened to Gin. He thought helplessly, "This bastard does know how to make my feelings stir like this. To be blunt, I hate it."
"I don't like you, you jerk," he stated with a serious glare.
"I don't care about how you feel towards me. I only care about you," answered Gin as he turned his back and left him there with a farewell gesture. "See you later!"
Hijikata's face turned red literally when he absorbed every word Gin has said. "Shit! I'm getting caught up again to his flow . . . ," he cursed under his breath while walking back to the Shinsengumi headquarters. But, before he could reach the headquarters, someone went behind him quickly and put a handkerchief on his mouth. Instinctively, he tried to resist it by elbowing the person behind him but his gaze became hazier as seconds passed by.
"Damn it . . . I need some help . . .," he thought hopelessly, trying to reach for his sword. Much to his dismay, he forgot to bring it. He left it inside his room.
"Shit! I didn't bring my sword!" he growled silently while trying to free himself from the person behind him desperately. However, he became weaker with lack of breath. Before he passed out, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Good night and sweet dreams, vice-commander."
"You are-"
Then he fainted when he ran out of oxygen.
At the other street . . .
While Gin was walking back home and watching other couples passed by, he started to regret that he left Hijikata early. His words and timing were so flawless back then! He swore that he noticed the raven-haired guy blushing so hard! Maybe he could have a big chance in inviting him on a date . . . Speaking of date, he already consulted Sougo about it. He recalled what they've discussed thirty minutes ago.
~Flashback~
"Okita-kun, do you know how two guys date?" he asked.
Sougo tilted his head to the right with a puzzled look, "Eh? How two gays date?"
"It's 'guys'! Not 'gays' but you also got a point that it's like we're gays, too!"
"I don't know about that, Danna . . . I only know how to make people suffer, that's all," he replied innocently.
"You can't be considered as the greatest sadist for nothing!" thought Gin while trembling in fear.
"But I know a way to make things more interesting between you and our demon vice-commander," he smirked evilly.
~End of Flashback~
Gin started to tremble again in fright when he remembered it. He felt that maybe it's a bad idea to ask some help from that sadist. Although he's a sadist, Gin knew that Sougo could be reliable sometimes. He just wished that the first squad captain could have told him already about his plan. Well, he would just stick out to the saying, "Expect the unexpected."
Then, like he speculated, an unexpected letter was found in front of his apartment's door when he arrived at his place. Maybe it's written with blood or something frightening . . . When he picked it up and opened it, he shivered.
"I'm right!" he screamed in fear when he saw the letter was written with blood.
Putting his fear aside, he read the letter immediately with shaking hands.
"To Shiroyasha,
I have the infamous demon vice-commander of Shinsengumi in my possession. If you want him back, come alone to the amusement park and don't dare tell anyone about this, or else your soon-to-be husband will be killed quickly.
From the abductor who wanted to make your love life improve,
Mr. Luffy III
P.S.
Bring your contract to show your proof that you two are getting married.
"Who the hell is this abductor? Isn't his motive obvious? Plus, I hate the fact that I know what will happen next!" he exclaimed madly.
"Really? Then tell me what will happen next, Danna," requested Sougo, who just showed up from nowhere, behind him.
"OH! The world-known sadist is here!" he faced the sadist with a surprised face.
"Well?" he waited for Gin's answer while tapping his right foot.
"Umm . . . This fanfiction will be boring to read if I'll tell you the details, Okita-kun."
"Tch! When I can finally snatch some spoilers from you, Danna . . . Maybe spoiler fans are disappointed right now," he folded his arms. He added, "Well, I don't care about it. I just wanted to make Hijikata-san's life miserable, that's all."
"Oi! Will you stop being a sadist for a moment? And, isn't it really obvious who the abductor is?"
Sougo cleared his throat, "I'm sorry to burst your bubble but frankly speaking, I'm not the abductor, Danna."
Gin's mouth dropped, "Eh? Then why are you here?"
"The truth is, we also can't find Hijikata-san anywhere," he admitted seriously.
Gin showed an unexplainable shock on his face. His red eyes were wavering. It felt like . . . he was going crazy.
"Okita-kun, you're not joking right now, eh?" he bent his head down to hide his worried, panicking look.
Sougo nodded, "Yeah . . . Sorry, that letter you're holding is part of my plan to get you two on a date in the amusement park . . ."
"So, there's no clue where Hijikata-kun is, right?"
"There's no doubt about it, Danna . . ."
Gin muttered, "What a pain in the ass . . ."
Then he started walking away. Sougo asked him before he went downstairs, "Where are you going, Danna?"
He halted for a second and answered, "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to find my lucky one, of course. And I'll hit him real hard this night."
The sadist laughed, "How dirty of you to do that to your soon-to-be husband . . . Be patient, Danna. You two are getting married very soon, after all."
"Be patient, eh? Sorry but I don't have that word in my vocabulary, my fellow sadist," he said as he went downstairs and got on his white scooter while putting his helmet and his goggles on.
"Wait for me, Toshirou. Your ass-kicking prince in shining armor will come for you," he thought bravely as he drove the scooter, only following his instinct in finding the raven-haired guy.
To be continued . . .

Sougo: Oi, writer-san. This story sucks. Why couldn't I kill Hijikata-san, huh?
Hijikata: I agree with him, writer-san! I want to die in embarrassment right now! I'm better off dead rather than pairing up with that sugar freak!
Me: Now, now . . . Just calm down, you two.
Kagura: Hey, you bitch! Why don't I show up too much in this shitty fanfiction!

Gin: Oi! You're going too far, Shinpachi! That's unbecoming of a straight man like you! Come on, guys! Be nice to the writer who's willing to write a good fanfiction about us.
All of them: We don't want to hear that from a certain natural perm like you!
