Gintoki scratched his head. This was bad, he thought while having Tae sit so close to him. Really bad. Somebody should just rip out his heart that was beating so fast just because of her nearness. Her closeness and sweet scent were testing his self-control. Shouyo would probably either laugh or br disappointed how one of his students was reduce to this state by a mere girl.
Trying to get a hold of himself, Gintoki repeatedly hit his head against Otose's counter. "Somebody," he moaned over and over again.
"Gin-san, will you please stop that?" a clearly annoyed Tae asked him. "If not, you'll hurt yourself," she added. But behind her, there was the warning of 'I'll kill you' in bloody letters, scrolling back and forth. He immediately scurried away from her. He was a sadist, not a masochist so why did he ended up falling for her?
::xxXXxx::
Tae pushed another empty Bargain Dash cup from her and looked at the blue sky from her living room. She sighed. What was she doing anyway? Right, she was doing nothing. She was not doing anything because she knew it was futile. Gintoki showed no interest on having a relationship. Worse, Gintoki showed no interest in her. Then there was Shinpachi who would smack her good if she knew of her feelings towards his boss. Not to mention, their persistent stalkers.
There were so many reasons for her not to seek him out and she wished her heart would understand these reasons too so it would stop beating for that stupid man.
::xxXXxx::
Shinpachi was not stupid. Since he was a small boy, he was perceptive more than the people around him thought. With his eyeglasses, he became even more perceptive. It was obvious. No matter how much his big sister tried to hide it, he could clearly see she was in love with Gintoki.
He rolled his eyes. Why did it have to be that guy? His boss was perennially broke. He was a good-for-nothing ass who preferred to read his JUMP comics rather than work. Technically, useless. And during the times that he wasn't useless, he showed tendency of risking his life to protect important things to the people around him. That recklessness of his would lead him to his death one day and then what would happen to his sister? Gintoki would probably just make her cry more than make her smile and laugh. No, he could not approve of his sister's choice for a boyfriend.
However, to see her with her most beautiful smile on her face when that man was around… Shinpachi sighed. He was not stupid.
::xxXXxx::
Gintoki really did try to be patient. He really did but he also had his limits so without any hesitation, he grabbed Kagura's head, willing it to explode in his tight grip.
"What the hell is your problem?" he demanded, annoyance clearly tangible in his loud voice. "You've been staring at me for awhile now. If you have a problem, spit it out."
Not to be outdone, Kagura gave him an uppercut.
"You brat, what is your problem?" He became wary when Kagura hunkered in front of him. Before he could say anything to placate this little monster, Kagura patted his right shoulder. "Mami is so proud of you. You're a big boy now." She wiped her non-existent tears of joy. "If your papi didn't die, he would have-"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Gintoki looked even more irritated.
"Love makes any person look all grown up," Kagura said wisely. "Now bring that lady and introduce her to mami."
Gintoki sighed in resignation at the girl's idiocy. "You've been watching too much drama."
"If you and boss lady get married, are we going to move in to their dojo?" Kagura asked. In reply, Gintoki hit her head. Hard. "Stop talking ridiculous things."
Kagura smiled and looked at him with her innocent but knowing eyes. Gintoki clucked his tongue. Why am I surrounded with stupid people?
