The Whisper Passing Through My Lips

by Risa Hijikata

A teen's unrequited love is not something unusual. Moreover if the subject is a childhood friend. 'It's a part of life, nothing special,' they said. But all that my heart could utter was, 'Help,' and no sound would escape from my lips. (Shounen-Ai; GinHijiGin; short instalments)

Chapter 10 - Forgiveness Doesn't Come Cheap

The register attendant looked at them with curiosity. 'Thank you for your purchase,' she politely smiled.

Gintoki sobbed as his wallet became empty and Hijikata whistled happily as he carried the two plastic bags full of mayonnaise.

They came onto a fork in the road and Gintoki was about to depressingly headed off home when Hijikata stopped him.

'Come on over for dinner. I think brother said that we're having sukiyaki and we need more people to finish up the meat.'

Gintoki's eyes alighted and he nodded furiously.

'Ok, I'll tell brother that you can make it. Manami-san will be coming over too.' Hijikata subtly mentioned that his brother's girlfriend would also be visiting over for dinner, thus it would be awkward for him if Gintoki couldn't make it.

You should've gotten used to third-wheeling them by now. Gintoki smirked.

Hijikata protested. 'You don't know how awful it can be when they forgot that they're not alone. It was damn awkward! So you better come!'

Gintoki chuckled silently before they went off their separate ways.
