Paring(s): Gintoki x Sougo [A little more than friendship today?]
Okita Sougo was sitting on the couch across from Gintoki's, which was closer to his television. Gintoki harbored an uninterested expression, almost like Sougo's straight face. Gintoki sighed, "So why does Gin-san have to do this?"
"Because today's my birthday."
Gintoki didn't get it. He's 18, why would he celebrate his birthday? Especially with me. Sure they've had connections in the past, he even helped him save Hijikata, but he still didn't get it. "Why can't you get Hijikata-kun or the Gorilla to do it? Aren't they your friends, why must I listen to you, anyway?"
"Because today I'm the prince." Sougo remarked lazily.
Gintoki scoffed and burst out laughing. "..Gin-san's stomach hurts!" Gintoki managed as he clutched his stomach and laid down on his back. Gintoki couldn't believe Sougo actually said that. Sougo stood up and walked over to Gintoki, placed his hand down next to Gintoki's head on the open [left] side. "Today I'm the prince." Sougo repeated himself.
Gintoki's expression quickly changed into a lazy frown then grabbed Sougo's wrist, "Sorry, I couldn't get any presents." Gintoki gave a dismissive wave. He wasn't particularly interested in Sougo's personal life, so he wanted to avoid celebrating his birthday with him at all costs. "Can't you celebrate, with the woman you like, or something? Gin-san doesn't have the time to play."
"Danna, it's true that I have someone on my mind, but I can't ask them again, because I alrea-" Sougo was cut off by the door suddenly sliding open. Shinpachi had his CD Player in his hands giving a satisfied blush while he sang the lyrics to one of Otsuu-chan's songs. When Shinpachi finally looked towards the living room [?], he gasped. Shinpachi dropped his CD Player, the ear-buds fell out of his ears along with it. He pointed at Gintoki and Sougo, while his entire body shook. "H-how..! Why! Gin-san! Don't tell me.. You did, didn't you? GIN-SAN!"
"Shut up, Shinpachi. Being this loud in the morning.." Gintoki released Sougo's arm and scratched the back of his silver hair. Well, we were in a terribly questionable position..
"Okita-kun arrived just a few minutes ago, jeez." His pinkie finger was up his nose, so it muffled his voice a little. "What were you thinking, anyway, Patsuan? Gin-san wouldn't do anything like that with a brat."
Gintoki closed his eyes as the whole situation was explained to Shinpachi by Sougo. Shinpachi calmed down a bit but he was still eager to know why Sougo would ask Gintoki to celebrate with him. - "It's not like Danna actually has any jobs today, right?" Sougo continued. Shinpachi thought for a minute and showed about a quarter of a small white piece of paper that he was almost done pulling out from his keikogi. "Actually.." Shinpachi started, but when he noticed Sougo remove his sword from the sheath he freaked and became silent. Gintoki slightly opened one of his eyes, but the sword was already out of sight. "N..No. Today, no one requested an odd job from Gin-san." Shinpachi stated in a shaky voice.
Shinpachi's actions left Gintoki wondering, but it's not like he has ever heard Shinpachi sincerely lie before. Sougo looked over to Gintoki. "There you have it, Danna." Shinpachi smiled awkwardly. "Well then.." He stood up and decided to leave the two alone, and exited the house.
When Sougo got up to switch couches again, he accidentally tripped over his sheath, and lost balance, his head almost hit Gintoki's, but he stopped himself a second before that happened. They were even closer than before. It was silent until Kagura furiously slid open her room door [closet?] and yawned. "Kagu-!" Gintoki started, but was stopped, he didn't know why. He forgot about the position he was in, and when he lifted his head he accidentally kissed Sougo. Gintoki wasn't blushing. Gintoki wasn't happy. He was stunned, it took him about 15 seconds until he realized he should release Sougo's lips. Sougo bent over to pick up his sheath and sword, then walked over to the quarter-open door. Gintoki opened his mouth to say something, but Sougo started first. "Thank you for the birthday present. But Danna, today wasn't my birthday." He exited and closed the door behind him. On the other side, Sougo stood there for a good 3 minutes, with his right hand covering his mouth, it took a while until he realized he was blushing furiously.
Gintoki was speechless, he had nothing to say.
[A/N: Well, that's it.. This was kinda like a birthday present I gave myself /yesterday was my birthday/.]
