How many drinks have gone through his throat this night?

Gintoki promised himself that he would only go down for a few drinks tonight, just to blow off some steam. As to what threshhold "a few" means, he didn't know himself. But, as soon as Tama's green hair started to mix with the colors of the wall, he knew he had one too many already.

"Gin-sama," the robot calls. "I believe you've had too much alcohol intake already." Gin didn't seem to notice how ironic it was that Tama was pouring him another drink as she was saying this.

"It doesn't matter." He mutters. "It's free, so just keep 'em coming." Tama obliges by giving him a nod, ignoring the protests of Otose.

"May I know what's the reason for you drinking this evening?" Tama asks. Gin could feel his cheeks going numb and his body becoming heavier by the second. Nothing he hasn't experienced before whenever he drank. "You seemed oddly distraught when you entered."

What was the reason again? All of those drinks seemed to have impaired his senses as well as his memory.

Otose was quick to respond before he could even remember why.

"It's because of that policeman that's been visiting, isn't it?" The old lady doesn't look away from the glass that she was wiping. "What did you do this time, Gintoki?" She accused.

With the word "policeman" Gin instantly remembers the horror he had witnessed earlier this afternoon.

He had just come home from a client, who, unsurprisingly, doesn't have money to pay him for the job. At this point he just accepts the fact that what they're actually doing is starting to become charity work. Something the government should be funding them for.

The government.

Ah, yes. The government. As far as Gin was concerned, these are the people who are supposed go protect citizens and make their lives better, not making out with his ward inside a sliding cabinet in his own home. So when he heard some giggling inside Kagura's cabinet, he was curious what she was laughing about.

Gin was actually expecting to see Kagura laughing at some jokes on a magazine, like most teenagers these days.

What he wasn't expecting was the 1st Division captain of the Shinsengumi unapollogetically making out with his eighteen-year-old ward.

"I'll leave you to it." Was all Gin could say before running out of the house.

Otose's incessant questioning brought him back to reality. "Well, Gintoki?"

"I wish I did do something illegal." He knew he looked grave at this point. "That would be better than telling the Baldie that Kagura calls somebody else 'daddy' now."

Something sharp and loud echoed throughout the bar. A screaming man.

"She calls Sougo what?" The voice emerged from under Gin's table, with shock evident in its face. "Am I hearing things?"

Kondou kneeled on the bar table, about to grab Gin, surely to ask more questions. He kicked him square in the chest, with the intruder falling on the floor.

"Good God!" Gin shouted, shocked out of his drunken stupor, "The Gorilla woman isn't even here, yet here you are." Annoyance coated every word he spoke.

Kondou stands up and fixes his clothes. "I go here sometimes just in case Otae-san comes here. You know, since all of you are really close." He looked pathetic, Gin thought, with his face all crunched up, ready to cry. But Kondou snaps out of it. "But, Sougo." His voice cracks. "I never knew."

Gin pays no attention to him nor his monologue. "Kagura's personal life is becoming such a real pain in the ass." He says as he gulps down another round. "First, it was that giant alien, now it's a government dog?"

"I see," Tama comments. "So this police officer is actually Kagura-sama's lover and you had no idea." She narrates it innocently but Gin had half a mind to shout at her not to remind him. "Then what is the problem?"

"The problem?" Gin asks back. What was the problem, exactly?

"The only problem I see," Tama continues, "is that you had no idea."

He looks from the green-haired robot to his copper hued drink. Maybe Tama was right. He wasn't necessarily the person who liked to mingle in other people's personal lives (it just happens by coincidence, really), but maybe actually checking up on people once in a while will do him no harm. After all, he does treat Kagura like a daughter. Shouldn't a good father at least be updated?

"Hey," Otose calls from behind the bar. "It's near closing time. Get out." Tama heeds the order of Otose and ushers Gina and Kondou outside.

The Shinsengumi chief bids them farewell and Gin heads for the stairs. His vision was still a bit blury and he felt something rising from his stomach. Maybe he should stay outside tonight, he doesn't really know how to approach Kagura now. Things would be a hell more awkward not just with Kagura but with Okita as well.

He just couldn't wrap his head around the idea that two kids who hated each other's guts before are now lovers. The idea still makes his head hurt.

Even though he planned to stay outside, out of habit, he slides open the door, expecting to see the floor he would always sleep on when he was drunk.

But, he see's Kagura leaning on the wall, fast asleep. She was holding the blanket that she would always cover him up with during nights like these, to keep him warm.

He doesn't smile, but inside he feels lighter.

Gin takes the blanket and wraps it around Kagura instead.

"Time to get some sleep." He thought to himself.
