Chapter 1

Tae Shimura wondered in silence as she walked towards the man waiting for her at the booth. It was a rare sight for Hijikata Toushirou to be at Snack Smile. She had to admit that although he was relatively her favorite Shinsengumi officer, he would never purposefully show up around her unless it was under his captain's orders. The thought brought a frown to her face.

As he watch her approach, Hijikata raised his eyebrow. Otae didn't look too happy to see him, which was odd because even if she didn't, she was always smilin anyways.

"Aren't you supposed to smile?"

"Smiles are reserved for customers," she retorted.

"I am a customer."

"You're only here under the gorilla's orders and aren't planning to order anything, so that makes you not a customer."

Shrugging, Hijikata called a waitress over and ordered a bottle of Dom Peri with two chilled glasses. "Happy now?"

"You truly understand a woman's heart, Hijikata-san," Tae grinned mischievously. "So? What's the deal this time?"

Taking a puff from his cigarette, the Shinsengumi Vice-Captain pulled out a white enveloped embossed with gold lettering from his uniform pocket. He slid it over to Tae, who picked it up and opened it. It was an invitation to Kondou Isao's wedding.

Tae sighed, exasperated, "I'm not helping you destroy another wedding."

To her surprise, Hijikata shook his head, "It's for real this time."

"Oh?"

"What? Disappointed?" he teased.

The ponytailed woman shot him a look and he laughed. The waitress finally came back with their drinks and some complementary snacks. Otae picked up the bottle and poured drinks for the both of them.

"Things are changing," she shrugged. It had been three years after the war. They had lost and they had rebuilt. People had disappeared and some had come back, including the man currently sitting before her. Selfishly, she expected things to go back to the way they were, but change is inevitable. "Guess it's about time."

"Yeah."

They fell into silence and Otae watched the dark-haired man took sips of his drink. Unconsciously, she started comparing the man to a certain white-haired someone. In a way they were very much alike. Not in looks or personality in particular, but they both gave off a similar vibe. She would be lying to say that she'd never been attracted to the man in front of her, and if she can tell herself to choose who to fall in love with, she would've chosen the Vice-Captain over the lazy perm-head any day. But alas the heart had chosen and in that choice she had no say.

Hijikata sipped his drink slowly. He wasn't sure why he decided to hang around after delivering the invitation, which was all he was here for. All around them men laughed and girls giggled. Drinks were pouring non-stop and strange music played in the background. It wasn't his scene, but somehow he felt comfortable sitting next to the girl in the pink kimono. Otae reminded him of someone. Maybe it was just him feeling nostalgic because as Otae had previously said, things are changing. But every time he found himself in her company, Hijikata was reminded of Mitsuba. A stern but loving older sister who always smiled while hiding their pain. A lean figure in a kimono. Small, gentle hands...

He looked over to his side and caught her looking at him.

"You're staring."

Otae didn't look away, instead a small smile formed at her lips, "You remind me of someone."

A little taken aback that she just voiced exactly what he was thinking, Hijikata snorted.

"What's so funny?"

Lifting his eyes, he looked straight into her eyes and held her gaze.

"You remind me of someone too."

Short first chapter, but I promise I'll finish this somehow. Quarantine is depressing me and i'll be writing about fictional characters flirting and having sex to lift my moods. lol.

Hope ya'll like :3
