Uhm... hello? *pokes dead PMK fandom* Seems pretty quiet here lately, so I thought I could contribute something every once in a while to revive this wonderful fandom?

Hm... All right^___^ This will be a series of oneshots with mainly HijikataSouji pairings. I will pick up where I left my last story 'spring fever', but it´s no direct sequel and can be read without knowing the other story. It´s just so we can deal with (more or less) established HijiSou. Also I got a wonderful plotbunny, namely from wyrdsister jr, who offered me the idea of '5 ways to seduce Hijikata Toshizou'. I´ll see if I can come up with 5 ways (I have 4 already^^), but it won´t be a straight plotted story. I´ll post here whatever sillyness comes to mind, and I hope you enjoy it!

Pillow Talk

„Hijikata-san," Okita Souji, first unit captain of the famous Shinsengumi whispered into the darkness of his room, crawling over the futon towards the man beside him. Apart from a deep, soft snore there was no answer whatsoever.

Frowning, the lavender haired young man leaned over, his belly almost touching the sleeping demon vice commander´s back. His lips brushed over Hijikata´s earlobe as he chirped "Hi-ji-ka-ta-san."

"Grmhn." A hand was testily lifted to wave the annoying, buzzing noise away, and the demon went back to sleep without even waking up.

Pouting, Okita pushed himself into a sitting position, looking thoughtful for a moment before a mean little smile crept over his fair features and he held his hands before his mouth, shouting cheerfully "Hijikata-san, the dojo´s on fire!"

"What!" Faster than the eye could follow, the man stood on the futon with his sword ready in hands, sleeping gown hanging loosely around his shoulders, his bloodshot eyes frantically searching the room.

Souji collapsed on the tatami, holding his belly and pointing at the man´s disheveled hair that stood up to all sides, while laughter shook his delicate figure. "Hahahaha, Hichikata-san, you´re so funny, hahaha."

"What the…" growling, the vice commander let his sword sink down, and rubbed over his tired face, groaning in exasperation "Souji…"

"Awww, don´t be so crouchy Hijikata-san," the young man drawled happily and pulled the man back down to sit with him on the futon. "You must have had a bad dream or something."

The demon vice commander didn´t look very convinced, but since he was tired and discussions with his first unit captain tended to be the opposite of satisfying –at least for Hijikata. As soon as the smaller man gave him the puppy eyes it was all over and the evil demon vice commander retreated with his tail between his legs- he just let it slide and grumpily propped his head on his hand. "What do you want."

"Why, I don´t want anything at all, Hijikata-san." Souji sported his best innocent look, head tilted, eyes big and shining. Then he abandoned the act for an eager smile and clasped his hands together, exclaiming "But since you and I are awake anyway we can talk a bit and have candies!"

The vice commander stared blankly at his chipper, exuberant first unit captain who had the nerve to wake him in the middle of the night for one of his utterly meaningless chats. Then his brows knitted together and he unceremoniously plopped down on the futon with his back to the genious swordsman, morosely pulling the blanket over his shoulder. "I´m going back to sleep."

"Mou- Hijikata-san!" The other indignantly –and not very gently- shook his friends shoulder to deter him from sleeping. "You´re no fun!"

"And here I thought my little stunt just now was sooo amusing," was the sarcastic, muffled reply as the vice commander closed his eyes and concentrated on falling asleep again. Over the years he had developed a mechanism that allowed him to simply tune out his friend´s constant excited blabbering, which came very much in handy, especially now.

"But only because you looked so incredibly retarde– adoringly sleepy I mean," Souji snickered behind his hand, but this time Hijikata didn´t even deign to answer. Seeing that the man had lost interest and was on his way to blissful oblivion again, Souji bit his lip, fidgeting on his knees, and then announced graciously "We can do something else too, if you want."

"Great. I want to sleep," growled one iffy demon vice commander and demonstratively pulled the cushion over his ear. The anticipated protest or the uncalled for explanation what Souji had had in mind for them, remained absent however, and now it was the complete silence that irritated Hijikata. He could almost see the wobbling lower lip and sad, accusing look that pierced his poor back…

"What the hell," he finally grunted and sat up again, unwillingly grabbing for his pipe and stuffing it. "What do you want, Souji?"

The demon professionally avoided to look at Souji´s guilt inflicting, 'miserable' expression –that had been trained for years, simply for the purpose of annoying Hijikata who still hadn´t managed to grow immune to it, even though he knew it was just one of Souji´s manipulations. He wasn´t miserable at all… But he looked rather convincing if he really tried, and it never failed to stab right through Hijikata´s shriveled, nonexistent heart.

This time however, Souji simply watched the man stuff his pipe and light it, till small clouds of smoke escaped his mouth. He seemed to be uncharacteristically nervous, constantly fidgeting on the futon and not so insuspiciously glancing at the vice commander every now and then. Which in return, put poor Hijikata on edge, so he took the pipe out of his mouth, asking with a sourly lifted brow, "Now what? And just for the record: I won´t play 'I spy with my little eye… something that is black' in a dark room with you ever again, you hear me?!"

"Weeell," the young man stretched, nibbling at his lips before he took a dreep breath and blurrted out. "We´re together for three months nolw and I thought maybe we could have se-"

Before he could end the sentence, a hand was clasped over his mouth, shutting off his last word and the stunned young man found himself face to face with his sorely shocked demon vice commander. The man´s eyes were round like saucers and the pipe was dangling from his open mouth as he kept staring at Souji as if the man had just announced he was pregnant or something.

"Hifikata-fan, A canf´t breaf- " Souji tried to push his friend´s hand away from his mouth, but the man hastely moved it back as if he was utterly afraid of what would come out of it. The lavender haired man just rose his brows and frowned at the other man, unable to understand what he had done wrong to make Hijikata so agitated. Finally the vice commander seemed to become aware of his surroundings again and he reluctantly let go of Souji, giving a little, uncomfortable cough into his fist.

"Hijikata-san… are you all right?" The first unit captain leaned forward with narrowed eyes to have a good look at his boyfriend´s waxy face, but the man shirked on all four, almost panicked, announcing "I´m fine, I´m fine!"

"You don´t look like it… Are you sure? Maybe I shouldn´t have asked you to have se-"

"You know what?" the vice commander suddenly shrieked rather unmanly , making Souji jump a little. "You´re right, I´m not feeling so well! I think I´ll go get some fresh air, why don´t you go back to sleep?"

"But-"

Before Souji could protest the spot where Hijikata had just been sitting was vacant and the paper door was closed with too much force. Confused, the first unit captain blinked into the darkness, but then he had no other option as to lay down and stare at the ceiling all by himself.

Sorry, if it isn´t perfect, I have no beta yet and I need to get back into the PMK fandom. But as you can see the two of them have some issues where their -nonexistent- sex life is concerned^^

I´d be happy to get some reviews; show me that this fandom isn´t dead yet!
