Chapter 48
That night their bodies passionately became one over and over again. They finally decided to give it a rest after going at it for a couple of hours straight. They were both looking at the ceiling and he moved his body closer to hers for a cuddle.
He lightly kissed the top of her head. "Was I too rough? Does it hurt anywhere?"
"Ah'm not fragile ya know."
"I know that too damn well. Especially because you're the drunk terminat-" *Thwip* "I meant I was just making sure you were okay because it was your first time and we kept on going at it."
"Ah'm fine. Just feelin' a little bit sore down there."
"Want me to make it feel better?"
"In yer dreams Gintoki. Yer not comin' near there fer a long time."
"Speaking of dreams I've only ever dreamed about seeing you like this, you know."
"What are ya sayin'?!"
"Tsukki any man with working pair of eyes can see how attractive you are. You got a beautiful face and body."
"Gintoki!"
He gently put her head against his chest. "Ah I got this woman all to myself. Oi, this isn't a one time thing right? You'll be doing this with Gin-san again right?!"
She lightly smacked his chest. "Is that somethin' ta ask right after?!"
"Ow. It's just that I don't want this to be the first and final time we make love you know!"
She turned away from Gintoki. "It won't be tha final time so calm down."
He smiled at her reply. He slid his arm around her waist and pulled her closer so that her back was on his chest. "Hey Tsukuyo I have something I want to ask you."
"Hm what is it?"
He put his chin on her shoulder. "Will you die by my side?"
"G-Gintoki. Ya don't mean…"
"Tsukuyo, I want you to die by my side. I want to die by your side."
She turned her body towards him. Her beautiful violet eyes were staring into his crimson red eyes. "Gintoki, ah've been ready ta die by yer side a long time ago."
He was astonished how she was already determined to die by his side long ago. His face broke out into the goofiest smile ever. "You really are strong. Our bodies may not last forever but my love for you is eternal Tsukuyo." He plucked a strand of his hair. He took her left hand and tied his hair around her ring finger. He took a good look at his hair wrapped around her ring finger. "Silver sure fits the moon best. I don't have enough money for a ring yet, sorry."
"I don't need a ring. This is much better than a ring. I love it."
I love how she's so simple. "Oh by the way do we have to break it to everyone?"
"What do ya mean do we have ta? 'Course we do!"
"Ah that's such a pain in the ass! Can't we just get married in secret then announce that we got married?!"
"Gintoki they're our friends. It wouldn't be right ta go behind their backs."
"Fine, fine. I'm only doing this because you want to."
She smiled, "Thank ya." She mustered up all her courage and give him a kiss on his cheek. "Mah way of sayin' thanks."
Gintoki slightly blushed at the secret attack. "Oi that was sneaky!" He pulled the covers over them as he went on top of her.
"Gintoki!" she yelled.

The sun was shining into the room. Tsukuyo was the first to get up and immediately sat up. She let out a yawn. She had a slight bed head from the wild night she had the previous night. She made sure Gintoki was fast asleep. She carefully slipped out of the futon to pick up her undergarments and kimono.
"Oi are you trying to seduce me from the morning? If you are, it's working."
She slightly jumped at his voice and turned around. He was laying down on his side while leaning his head on his hand. She covered herself with her kimono that was in her hand. "I thought ya were sleepin'!"
"I was until you got out of the futon, that's when I woke up. You don't have to cover yourself Tsukki. I already saw and discovered every milli centimeter of your body last night."
She blushed at the mention of last night. "Sorry fer wakin' ya up."
"Where were you running off to? That's mean of you. To leave first before I wake up."
"I was gonna wake ya up after I put on some clothin'!"
"I prefer to be woken up by you naked though."
She scowled and passed his clothing to him. "Hurry up an' get up."
"Ah Gin-san's in pain. Only if someone could help me change."
He's such a kid. Tsukuyo walked over to him to play along with his shenanigans.
"Just kidding." He pulled her down on top of him and pulled the covers over them again.
"GINTOKIIIII!"
After an hour they finally made it out of the room and onto the streets of Yoshiwara. They were walking to Hinowa's shop. Tsukuyo had to drop by to take a quick shower. Hinowa was out in the shop and noticed Tsukuyo and Gintoki together.
"Ara, Tsukuyo! Where were you last night and why is Gin-san with you?"
"I was busy doin' somethin' last night sorry Hinowa. Gintoki an' I happened ta meet up. Ah'm gonna go head in an' take a shower." Tsukuyo turned to Gintoki, "See ya around Gintoki."
"Later Tsukuyo."
Tsukuyo headed to the back and was gone from their sight.
There were hickeys around her neck for sure. These two were together last night weren't they? She decided to have a talk with Gintoki. "Gin-san."
"Hinowa."
They both called out to each other at the same time.
"Ah, go on first Gin-san."
"No, no you go first."
"Would you care for some tea and dango?"
"That would be nice."
Hinowa brought out some dango and tea and set it down next to Gintoki. She had a huge smile on her face. "What did you want to talk about Gin-san? You looked like you had something to say."
"Ah well I don't think Tsukuyo told you yet but we've been together for four years."
Hinowa giggled. "I could already tell something happened between you two. Honestly, I'm glad you two decided to act on your feelings. I was concerned you two would be too stubborn to the end. I'm happy for the two of you."
"That's not all. There's another thing I need to tell you."
Hinowa looked at him with curious eyes, "What is it Gin-san?"
"I asked her to marry me."
Hinowa's eyes widened in shock. "Oh my! This is certainly wonderful news. Congratulations! Please take good care of our Tsukuyo, Gin-san."
"I promise to take good care of her." Gintoki got up. "I should get going now, I told her I was going to leave after I dropped her off. I'm going to invite everyone to make an announcement so can you bring her along? It'll take place around 8 PM at Otose's snack bar. Seita knows where it is so just ask him for the directions."
"Most certainly I can. Leave it up to me!"
"Thanks, I'll see you later tonight."
"Well then bye for now Gin-san. See you soon!" Hinowa said.
Gintoki waved and disappeared into the busy street of Yoshiwara. Hinowa went into the back to wait for Tsukuyo. Ten minutes later Tsukuyo came out of the shower. Hinowa noticed her and had a huge smile on her face.
"Tsukuyo do you have some time to talk?"
"Yeah, I got some time."
The two women went into Tsukuyo's room. Hinowa wanted to be on the ground and Tsukuyo helped her sit on the ground. Tsukuyo sat across her afterwards.
Hinowa giggled. "Gin-san told me everything you know."
Tsukuyo blushed. "A-Ah'm sorry Hinowa! I was actually gonna tell ya today."
"It's not an issue Tsukuyo. I already knew long ago. I knew you wouldn't tell me so easily." She gave Tsukuyo a hug. "You've changed a lot ever since you met them. I'm so happy for you. It'll be a bit lonely for me and Seita once you get married and live with Gin-san but I was prepared a long time ago. I knew that one day a good man would come by and take you away."
"Hinowa…"
"I'm really glad you gave a chance for your love to blossom Tsukuyo. It's now time for the moon to shine bright with a silver glint."
She hugged Hinowa back, "Thank ya fer everythin' Hinowa."
"I can't wait for you two to have kids. Yoshiwara would have more kids besides Seita now."
Tsukuyo broke off the hug. "H-Hinowa! It's too early ta be talkin' 'bout havin' kids!"
Hinowa closed her eyes with a smile on her face. "I know you two were together last night. I can see the hickeys around your neck. Seems to me you two were busy making kids."
Tsukuyo's face was bright red and she quickly covered her neck with her hands. "T-That idiot! I told him not ta put it where people could see it!"
Hinowa giggled. "Well then we should start planning for the wedding!"
