"Well, Sougo," Kondo begins. "I'm very happy for you. But, I hope this change won't affect your performance in carrying out your duty as a captain."

Okita Sougo sat in front of his superior in silence.

Earlier this morning, Kondo had overheard some of Okita's subordinates interrogating him about his personal life.

"Ah, Captain!" One said. "You're finally with that girl from the Yorozuya. 'Bout time!"

"Which one? The one with the green hair or the one with ears? What? Its's that Yato girl?"

"Well that's nice." Said another.

Okita didn't even confirm nor deny their allegations. He just stood there, not really caring if they knew or not. His personal life wasn't really a topic he liked to discuss. But he wasn't the type of person who got worked up over people talking about him either.

So when Kondo found out, he just had to take him aside to give him a pep-talk. Okita was actually entertained by the fact that the chief, who had less experience than him in being in a relationship, was trying to lecture him.

The only thing that didn't sit well with him was that Kondo thought it was some sort of "family news thing" that he also had to drag Hijikita into this small discussion.

In his musings, he could hear Kondo saying how Okita was a "grown man now" amongst other things. They didn't actually know that he and Kagura have been a "thing" long before the chief overheard his squad. So technically he's been a grown man even before.

"And, um," Kondo coughs and then blushes. "I know you kids today are very liberated when it comes to relationshps. So, I guess I should remind you that you're not allowed to bring her here after dark."

"Oh, okay." Okita finally replies. "Won't happen again."

Kondo's adult and proud demeanor turned into shock.

"What?" He panicked. "Did you… Sougo… Already..?" He lowered his head and whispered, panick not leaving his voice. "In the compound?"

Okita just looked at Kondo and then turned his gaze to Hijikata.

"Seriously?" The vice chief finally chimed in as he reaches for his lighter. "That's disgusting." When Okita still didn't reply, Hijikata squinted his eyes and pressed further. "Where?"

The blond captain didn't speak.

"Where, Sougo?" Hijikata demands once more.

Still he wouldn't budge.

Hijikata's eyes pleaded as his voice broke. "Where, Sougo?"

Okita smirked. "I think you know where, Hijikata-san."

Hijikata's lighter dropped.
