'sadaharu speaking'
From Death Comes Love Chap. 2!
Hidden Feeling.
the next morning no one knew exactly what to do. shinpachi made breakfast but no one felt like eating. They all sat there looking at the food. shinpachi with his head low looking at his plate. Gintoki with his eyes on shinpachi more then his plate. Otae starring at gintoki then over to shinpachi then back to her food. finally shinpachi started eating saying nothing and making eye contact with no one. Gintoki started eating as well saying nothing and keeping his eyes on shinpachi. he felt that if he took them off of him for just a second the boy would disappear. otae started eating and kept her eyes on Gintoki wondering what he was thinking. Soon everyone was finished and otae stood up from the table, "well i have to go to work. have fun today you two." with that she waited for a reply but when none came her way she just sighed and left the room. she looked up at the sky. it was dark and clowdy, "better take my umbrella." she said this to no one in particular. she put on her shoes grabbed her umbrella and left the sadness of her house to enter the sadness of the day.
shinpachi stood up and collected the dishes. he walked out of the living room leaving gintoki to sit alone. as shinpachi washed the dishes gintoki sat there just leaning against the door. his eyes were closed and he listened to everything. To the birds outside and the water running inside. he listened for anything odd. then out of nowhere a smashing noise came from the kitchen followed by a yelp. gintoki got up and walked into the kitchen. "everything ok shinpachi?" shinpachi was down on the floor picking up a shattered glass. "yeah. it just slipped out of my hands." gintoki stared down at the glass. "want some help?" "nah i got it. ow." as soon as shinpachi said that he cut himself with the glass. gintoki bent down and took shinpachi's hand to look at it. he cleared away some of the glass and got a better look at the cut.
"Well it ain't to bad. you'll live." shinpachi gave gintoki a look that said 'no really?' Gintoki chuckled at it. he stood up shinpachi's hand still in his. he pulled shinpachi up and ran the boys hand under water. shinapchi winced in pain as the cool water hit the palm of his hand. gintoki stopped the water and looked down at the hand to make sure all the glass was out. the blodd didn't stop flowing but at least nothing that could make the cut worse was in it. "go bandage it up now. i'll pick up the glass." shinpachi nodded and left the kitchen to go find something to bandage his wound. gintoki carefully picked up the remaining pieces of glass and threw them out. as the last piece went into the trash a low rumble sounded from above and rain fell down hitting the roof.
Shinpachi heard the rain fall. he closed his eyes and listened for a moment or two. then went back to bandaging his cut. "hmm i should go over and get sadaharu. he's bound to be hungry by now." shinpachi said this out loud unknowingly. Gintoki over heard him. "i'll come with you." gintoki yelled over to his friend. shinpachi figured he said something outloud. "alright."
shinpachi re-entered the kitchen to see all of the glass was picked up and the dishes had been put away. "thanks for the help." Gintoki just nodded. "shall we go now?" the sooner they left the sooner they could get back. that all gintoki wanted to do. he knew shinpachi would be safe here. so this is where he wanted to be. shinpachi grabbed his umbrella and put on his coat. then walked out the door holding the umbrella up for gintoki. gintoki took the umbrella and looked at shinpachi with a worried face. "You look really pale. are you ok?" shinpachi kept his eyes on the ground, " yeah i'm fine. just didn't sleep well last night. " gintoki didn't by that excuss but decided not to press it any further.
They walked down the vacant streets, not really taking their time to enjoy the view. they were getting soaked by the now heavy falling rain. they soon made it to the apartment and all but ran up the stairs. they opend the door to see a very lonely sadaharu waiting for them. shinapchi patted him on the head and went to sit down on the couch. "ah we should stay here till the storm lets up." shinpachi went from pale to white as a ghost. Gintoki said nothing but walked over and put his hand on shinpachi's forehead. "You have a fever. we wont be leaving here for a while." shinpachi looked down. "We should've never left the house. why didn't you say you were sick?" shinpachi kept his eyes on the floor. "I don't feel sick. also why do you care all of a sudden?" gintoki turned away from the boy ignoring his question. he went to the closet. he pulled out some blankets and walked back to shinpachi.he put the blankets down beside him. then he felt shinpachi's head again. this time shinpachi grabbed his hand, "Answer my question gin-san."
Gintoki didn't want to answer it. "i care because your my friend." he hit shipachi on the head jokingly. "you should kno that by now." shinpachi gave him a 'your lying' look. "you never seem to care this much before." gintoki pulled his hand away from shinpachi. he turned away from the boy and walked over to the other couch and took a seat. he turned on the t.v. and could feel shinpachi's eyes burning into him. he looked over to they boy. "what?" shinpachi just shook his head, "nothing." he then looked at the t.v. saying nothing.
time passed along with many t.v. channels. they guys ended up watching a crappy romance movie. shinpachi stood up halfway through th movie to get something to eat but as soon as he took one step he had a coughing fit that seemed like it would never end. he fell to the ground and gintoki fled to his side. "shinpachi-kun..." he didn't know what to say to comfort the boy who had a look of panic on his face. so gintoki held the boy close to him. not wanting to let him go. he cradled shinpachi in his arms. soon the coughing died down. shinpachi's fever had spiked. gintoki could feel it as he held the boy. He picked shinpachi up and laid him down on the couch. he covered the boy with a blanket and then left to get a cloth to place on shinpachi's head. he grabbed a bowl and a couple clothes.
"shinpachi-kun i'll be right back i have to go get some water." shinpachi gave him a frightend look. "don't worry sadaharu will be here with you." at the sound of his name sadaharu looked up from his resting place. "stay close to shinpachi you hear me sadaharu." sadaharu just barked and got up. he walked over to shinpachi and took a seat. "good now i'll be right back." with those last words gintoki left the apartment and headed down stairs to otse's shop. he walks right by otse and cathrine and goes stright to the bathroom and fills the bowl up with cold water. he then leaves the shop not saying anything to the workers there.
he runs back up the stairs trying not to spill any of the water and takes it in. He sets the bowl of water down on the table near the couch and dips a cloth in it. he looks at shinpachi, who is now fast asleep, and places the cloth gently on his head. he takes another and wipes shinpachi's neck and face with it. he does this softly as to not wake the boy. "Why the heck do you keep making me worry." he let out a sigh. sadaharu looked at him puzzled 'why don't you just tell him you love him. is it really that hard. if it is your an idiot.' gintoki looked at sadaharu. "Did you just call me an idiot?" "bark." 'if you can hear my mind say i love you shinpachi.' sadaharu tried to make it work. gintoki just looked at the dog oddly, "i'm hearing things great."
taking his attention off sadaharu he put it back on shinpachi. he stroked shinpachi's hair gently, he leaned forward and planted a kiss on shinpachi's forehead. shinpachi stirred just a bit and gintoki pulled back. he let out a long sigh and went back to watching the movie though he never left shinpachi's side not even when he fell asleep.
