After arriving at their house. Kagura and Hijikata went to brush their teeth.
They were both not tired and hungry so they just decided to watch some television before bed.
"What do you want to watch?" Kagura glances at Hijikata with a clear, white as snow face.
Hijikata avoids contact with Kagura as soon as she asks him, after looking at her face and outfit.
"Eh. I don't know, what is there to watch?" Hijikata replies looking at the TV remote.
"Hmm... Want to watch Gintaman? It's really funny!"
"Alright. Here's the remote." Hijikata passes the remote to her as she finds the channel.
And they watch together as they laugh sinisterly at unfortunate scenes.
Meanwhile...
After the longest period of time taken, Okita finally makes a decision.
He realizes too many things that make him overthink, and somehow it destroys his self-control without him even knowing why.
His decision was to immediately find the handcuffs key.
Okita visits the Shinsengumi workplace and searches earnestly at every spot.
He even made a list of places and checked them off ass he passed by looking for the key.
Although searching almost everywhere in the Shinsengumi, Okita could not find the key.
He did have a phone, which was a chance to call Yamazaki, and he did.
But no matter what he did, Yamazaki would never answer.
It was late outside anyways, so he understood only a little, although after 16 missed calls from one person, the receiver would probably realize it could be an important call or message. But whatever, thinking too much was not necessary at all.
It took about 30 more minutes to find the key, and Okita realized that he didn't check the boxes near the doorway.
It was as simple as that, and the key was found. All the effort Okita made was basically unnecessary, as long as he checked the boxes.
Okita ran out as fast as he could to find where Hijikata and Kagura were, but he didn't know where they were staying.
He tried looking for a Shinsengumi member and asking them info about where Hijikata lived.
Okita found Yamazaki walking around.
"HEY. Yamazaki, you bastard."
"Huh?!" Yamazaki replied with a sweat dripping from his forehead.
"I called you 16 times but you never answered!"
"Oh. I left my phone at home, but if you called me that much times, what could be the big occasion?!" Yamazaki had urgency in his voice, concerned.
"Where does Hijikata live?!"
"What? Uhm... Where he lives? Well, he lives in that house, white and blue. It's the big one at the end." Yamazaki answered confused, pointing at the house.
"I'm gonna give so much to you later but I have no time! WAIT FOR TOMORROW!" Okita replies with a wide grin and a sadistically deep voice that could kill if voices could kill.
Okita ran to the directed house as fast as lightning, while Yamazaki just stood there confused and scared of the thing that Okita just said, which gave him the chills, while a part of him wondered why he was asking where Hijikata's house was...
As soon as Okita got to the house, he knocked on the door so hard, but no one answered. He was suspicious, he tried opening the door, and somehow, it worked.
As the door started to creak open, the lights were still on, which made it more suspicious.
Okita checked a few rooms, but he saw a room full of pink and colourful things.
Did Kagura already make herself comfortable? He thought.
Then he saw Hijikata on the bed. He opened the door to the room and saw something unforgettable.
Okita opened his mouth, about to speak, but due to shock, he didn't speak.
Kagura and Hijikata were sleeping beside each other. It was too much to handle.
Are you serious? It can't be possible, right?!
Out of reflexes, Okita threw a pillow on the ground onto Hijikata.
Hijikata woke up quickly as he became wide awake.
The pillow also hit Kagura, and she woke up too.
"What the heck, Sadist." Kagura angrily spoke, yet as soft as possible as she was still too exhausted and tired after waking up.
"Hey, Okita, did you find the key yet?" Hijikata spoke without any shame.
HEY HEY HEY. Aren't we showing too many shameless actions? Thought Okita.
"Ha. Thank goodness I did. Or else this man would've done something to you." Okita broke out in a sweat, but no one noticed.
"Oh yeah, did you already get comfortable in this house, China? I just saw a room full of colourful things, if that's supposed to be yours. L-O-L."
"Are you guys living together or something? You seem TOO comfortable, haha." Okita said all these sentences with no stop at all, panicking.
Kagura and Hijikata look to each other at the same time.
They make a quick decision.
"Hey, Sadist, we're too tired of hiding it so let's just tell you now."
"Hmm?" Said, Okita.
"Sougo, Kagura and I are living together, it has been about a few years, I think three," Hijikata speaks with a serious glare.
A HUGE SILENCE BREAKS OUT.
Okita didn't know what to do. He could just be sadistic and comedic about it, but he couldn't stand acting like that after he heard it.
Seriously? This girl and this old man? Hijikata obviously wasn't that old, but Okita just couldn't understand why his heart almost dropped, he knew it was love, but even without the girl saying anything, he was still hurt and confused.
For goodness sake, Okita almost stopped his heart from beating alone itself.
Okita thought of something, and it almost made his burst of laughter.
"Hey, use that key already," Kagura was too exhausted to even speak.
"How about we try something new?" Okita said that as he was opening the handcuffs obediently.
The obedience of Okita scared the two as they were being released from the handcuffs.
"Well, thank y-" Kagura was about to say her thanks but something else stopped her.
Okita grabbed Kagura's waist as they both closed distance on each other.
"Hey, wai-" Hijikata was not understanding the situation as well.
Time literally froze.
Okita gave a smooth kiss to Kagura. Even though it was forced, it was gentle and kind, it made her blush too! Kagura didn't know how to stop the awkward moment as the kiss broke and how Hijikata just watched that scene.
Okita smirked and felt a feeling of victory and happiness.
"How about you call me S-O-U-G-O. It sounds better."
"W-WHAT?! NO WAY YOU DAMN SADIST!" Kagura was flustered and looked as red as a tomato.
"Hijikata, I suppose that you need to "up" your game a bit. I'm first place winning now. HEHhh." Okita speaks in an annoying way.
"Sougo... You damn bastard!"
Sougo jumps through the window as his quickest escape route, it was not expected, but Hijikata ran after him too, out the window.
Oh, shoot, I probably stole her first kiss, it's so amusing! Thought Okita as he was filled with happiness even though he thought it was for another reason and that Hijikata was sprinting with his face having an intent of killing Okita.
While those two were "playing tag," Kagura was left alone in the room.
I kissed him?! I don't believe it! Wasn't that my first kiss?! Don't worry, Gin-chan always told me the first kiss is usually an accident or forced, and he said it doesn't count! It SHOULD BE FINE! But why is my heart beating so fast? My lips still feel the warmth... NO NO NO HELL NAH. I guess I'll just wait 'till Toshi comes back. Actually, I'll just sleep here...
Kagura sleeps on Hijikata's bed.
Hijikata decides to go back after getting tired of chasing Okita. Okita follows him without knowing that he's being followed. Hijikata enters the house through the door, and Okita decides to quickly cover himself with the darkness which made him less visible. Hijikata enters his room and sees Kagura sleeping on his bed.
Do I sleep on her bed? WAIT. That would be totally wrong. Even worse than this situation. He decided to sleep on the chair beside Kagura as she was sleeping. Okita was outside the room, he waited 'till he heard complete silence, then it was safe to enter. Kagura opened her eyes slowly, in the middle of the night. She sees Hijikata leaning on her while sitting on a chair. She was a strong Yato and decided to pick up Hijikata onto his bed. Kagura crawled on him and slept beside him on the same bed. She didn't seem to notice that Okita was there. Luckily, the darkness covered him as he was sleeping on the ground in the corner of the room with his sleeping eye mask. It was fortunate that none of them realized their situation.
If Okita was caught, Kagura would have half-killed him, making a ruckus, and making Hijikata annoyed.
If Hijikata woke up or was awake, he would not ever sleep due to nervousness sleeping beside Kagura. He could notice Okita too...
If Okita was awake, he would've killed Hijikata, and "DO SOMETHING" to Kagura, not that anyone would imagine it. -.-
Lots of problematic situations would happen, and everyone would be affected.
It was good that everyone slept properly, but it was time to wake up.
"Good mor-?!" NING?!"
