"It's a nice view ain't it?"
The night wind gently blew away some of the smoke surrounding them as Tsukuyo emptied the burnt tobacco from her kiseru into a nearby tobacco-don. Some of the smoke entered Gintoki lungs and he began to cough violently due coming in contact with the black smoke.
"You really should stop smoking that shit." Gintoki covered his mouth with his hand and gave out a final small cough before settling down again. His back was against the wooden doors of the balcony of her room in Yoshiwara. Tsukuyo put the kiseru back into her sleeve after deciding she had smoked enough for a day and slightly moved her head to the side before responding.
"Can't. I've gotten used ta it."
"Well, don't blame me if you die of lung cancer or any other lung disease."
"Right back at ya, if you die of diabetes."
Gintoki just frowned this time and went back to gazing at the night sky. It looked pretty from where they were sitting. Yoshiwara faded in comparison to the brilliant dazzling of the stars. They stayed quiet for some time and Gintoki moved his hand to the back of his head to rest for a while.
"Gintoki, could you sum life in one word." She wasn't really a philosophical person but there was just something about the sky that made her ask the question.
"You."
Gintoki realized it as soon as it came out of his mouth. He had said something really cheesy and he was sure of it as soon he looked over at her and found her blushing atleast a hundred different shades of red.
"Y-wha...-I mean...damn it!" Gintoki couldn't exactly form a sentence at this point and the burning up of Tsukuyo's face wasn't helping either so Gintoki thought he should just heck it. He leaned in for a kiss to overcome the awkwardness as they weren't exactly the kind of couple who said or did lovey-dovey things with each other. Tsukuyo was taken back a bit by the kiss but calmed down after awhile much to Gintoki's satisfaction. He broke apart after awhile and she just looked away, the starlight illuminating her face.
Man, this woman is really gonna be my death oneday...
