A/N: Hiya, everyone! This is part II of my Gintama fanfic! I was so excited to finish it so the story became crappier (in my opinion). Oh, before we begin the next part, I liked to thank the readers who read the first part of my fanfic and wrote nice comments that motivated me to continue!
To Reader84, thanks for appreciating my fanfic! You can call me Hikari-san! And like you wanted, Hijikata is the uke and Gin is the seme, so you'll be happy in this pair!
Like before, read the warnings from the last chapter to ensure your safety (and to save myself from any scandals *coughs*). Plus, you must watch episode 185 to see what Mayorin Wonderland looked like in Hijikata's imagination and expect some umm . . . shocking shounen-ai scenes here so if you don't like it, don't read it, please! I hope you will enjoy reading it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gintama and other shows but I'm dying to own it!
Gin: Thank God that you don't own the anime! Will you stop using us, writer-san? I'm sick of this . . .
Me: Now, now . . . Bear with it, Gin-san. *shows a stock of sweets and a tray of parfaits*
Gin: Yes, boss! *salutes*
Shinpachi: Why do you get yourself used by that twisted writer, Gin-san? You must be against this!
Me: Oh, Shinpachi-kun! I bought this limited DVD edition of Otsu's 3D Concert in Muddyson Square Garden for you! I hope you won't mind me using you in my story.
Shinpachi: Yes, boss! *salutes*
Hijikata: Idiots . . . *eating the mayonnaise I gave him*
As he opened his heavy eyelids, the beaten vice-commander of Shinsengumi found himself in a dark, cold room.
"Where am I . . . ?"
His sight was still blurry so he's having a hard time figuring out where he was exactly right now. He couldn't move his body because he was tied up and was inflicted with severe injuries. He recalled that he was abducted back then in a quiet alley before he could reach the headquarters of Shinsengumi. More importantly, the one who abducted him was . . .
Suddenly, the door across him opened, letting in the bright sunset rays from outside. So his cobalt eyes were squinting with ache but he still tried to focus his gaze on a familiar figure of a man, walking inside the small room. The man had long black hair and a beard, and he's wearing a worn-out pirate costume and hat. When he halted in front of Hijikata, his shadow prevented the sunset rays to sting his cobalt eyes, enabling him to see the face of one of the deadliest criminals in Edo.
"Welcome to my wonderful hideout, vice-commander of Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toshirou."
"It's rare to see you here, captain of Bald Jerk, Captain Jackie Sparrow."
He retorted madly, "It's Black Pearl, mate!"
-"Marriage is a Lifetime Commitment, so be Faithful!"-
(Part II)
At the Shinsengumi headquarters . . .
"Commander, the Black Pearl contacted us a minute ago! They have the vice-commander as captive in their hideout! What should we do?" panicked Yamazaki as he informed Kondo about the threatening call he received a minute ago. It's almost dusk since Hijikata has gone missing and they didn't know where the first squad captain was after knowing the problem. Kondo, despite of his calm posture, was panicking quietly but he must remain composed so his comrades wouldn't lose their minds about their missing vice-commander of Shinsengumi. He was the commander, after all.
"Yamazaki, calm down. Panicking will lead us to nothing. We must think of a plan to find first the enemy's hideout before saving Toshi," suggested Kondo while patting Yamazaki on the shoulder.
"But . . . Black Pearl is one of the strongest space pirate ships in the universe. The vice-commander couldn't beat them all by himself . . . He might be killed if we don't find him quickly-"
"It'll be fine, Yamazaki."
The badminton addict and the gorilla-looking commander faced a familiar lad who interrupted his statement.
"Sougo!"
"Okita-san!"
He entered the room with no sign of panic on his face. Kondo got curious, "What do you mean it's fine?"
He smirked confidently, "Danna will save him."
Yamazaki guessed, "The Yorozuya?"
"No. Only Danna will save his soon-to-be husband," he stated clearly with a hint of mockery.
Kondo chuckled, "Man, Toshi is so lucky! But, does Gin-san know where he is?"
Sougo shrugged his shoulders, ""I dunno. He said that he will definitely save his lucky one."
Yamaki was dumbfounded, "Lucky one? The demonic vice-commander? You know, I find it weird when Danna proposed to the vice-commander on a whim back then. Both of them always argue, right? So, why Danna made a risky move like that?"
Sougo hesitated to answer after hearing his words but when he's about to answer, Kondo replied first, "It's because of love, Yamazaki."
"Love? But they hate each other for a long time."
Kondo agreed, "That's correct. When you hate someone, you start to care about him/her. I bet Gin-san realizes that he deeply cares about Toshi and it's all thanks to Sougo's sister for she made the request."
Yamazaki was surprised to hear it and looked at Sougo, "Mitsuba-dono did?"
Sougo nodded sadly, "Yeah. She made a last request to Danna before she reached her critical condition."
"Mitsuba-dono really cared about our vice-commander's happiness, eh?" their spy stated with a glad yet gloomy look. He knew that Mitsuba and Hijikata loved each other but Hijikata chose to reject her so she could have a normal life. Because of her deep concern for him, she still wished for his happiness even in her deathbed. However, Hijikata didn't want someone to be involved in his life. He wanted to fight alone. That's what Yamazaki observed about him. Hijikata was too soft-hearted.
"By the way, Sougo . . . Do Shinpachi-kun and Kagura-chan know about this?" questioned Kondo with worry.
"Danna told me that he didn't say my dear sister's request to both of them. So, I left a message in Danna's name to avoid them knowing his important business this night," he smirked mischievously.
Meanwhile at the Yorozuya's place . . .
"Gin-san! Gin-san! Where are you, Gin-san?" shouted Shinpachi as he looked at every room of their place to find their so-called leader. But to no avail, he didn't find him.
"Where is he?" he scratched his head.
"Shinpachi, Gin-chan left a message on his table!" informed Kagura as she pointed it out.
"Really? Can you read it out loud, Kagura-chan?"
She picked up the letter excitedly, "Okie dokie! I'll read it now, Shinpachi. To four-eyes and China girl . . . "
Shinpachi protested, "Why four-eyes?"
Kagura continued reading it, "I'll be out the whole night chasing the Fairy Godmother to get a Strawberry carriage!"
"Is he a Cinderella maniac? Did he watch the cartoon movie too much the other night?"
"After that, I'll ask her also for those yellowish glass shoes before going to my enemy's headquarters."
He exclaimed, "Gin-san! Did you fall asleep while watching the movie? Are the glass shoes of Cinderella yellowish? And, do you have a death wish? Why are you going to your enemy's headquarters?"
She put a big tape on Shinpachi's mouth before reading the continuation, "If I finally arrive in my enemy's headquarters, I'll find my prince Charming there and put those glass shoes to his stinky feet until I die. From your leader."
There was silence after she read the letter. Shinpachi couldn't budge because he just had a mental breakdown.
She wondered as she spat on the floor, "What the hell is this letter?"
-~- GINTAMA -~-
Back in the abandoned docks of Edo . . .
"So this creepy warehouse is your hideout, Captain Jack-ass Parrot," mocked Hijikata barely as he was carried by two pirates cruelly inside a huge warehouse full of skulls, bones and rusty chains hanging above them. The Black Pearl captain followed them with a scowl after hearing the vice-commander's insult.
"I'm Captain Jackie Sparrow, mate! Hey, you two! Put him in the middle, my favorite place!"
They saluted, "Aye, captain!"
Then they chained the injured Hijikata in the middle of the dungeon-looking warehouse as if he's like a criminal that needed to be tortured. With his whole body being weak, he couldn't escape now. He could only escape . . . if he's dead. He counted his enemies after the captain, with a nose like Jackie Chan's, freed him from the small room and brought him here. However, it's no use. He would really get killed by these space pirates because of their large population. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of death. He's mentally ready since he was a police officer. It's natural to die unexpectedly or tragically. It was his ill fate. He knew that all along.
"Hmm . . . Why are you quiet all of a sudden, mate? Too scared to be tortured?" he taunted Hijikata who had a blank expression on his face.
The vice-commander didn't respond. He just stared below. Captain Jackie unsheathed his rusty knife and used it's flat surface to lift up Hijikata's chin. He observed the raven-haired guy's face for a minute before saying with lust, "However, you're too good-looking, mate. It's such a waste to torture you. If you'd liked, I'm offering you a gentle torture. . ."
Hijikata gave him a smug smirk, "No, thanks. I don't want that kind of torture you're doing to the men you abducted. You're conducting human-trafficking, you perverted captain. In addition, you also raped young men in this disgusting place. You should be dead by now after accumulating too much bacteria from others. Don't you think so?"
The captain laughed maliciously, "Interesting . . . I'd never tasted handsome police officers before, so . . . do you like me to play with you, vice-commander?"
Then he tattered Hijikata's top clothes with his knife swiftly while laughing evilly. When his masculine chest was exposed, the long-haired captain ran his hand on Hijikata's smooth chest. Since it's ticklish, he tried to muffle his moan. Captain Jackie grinned as he tried to remove Hijikata's pants.
He couldn't tolerate this pervert's actions anymore, so he yelled, "Stop doing your dirty work on me, you hideous freak!"
The captain's grin grew wider as he halted and looked at the raven-haired guy. "Don't worry, mate. I'm also known as the gentle rapist among other rapists in the universe. You won't be disappointed."
Abruptly, his hand unzipped Hijikata's pants and pulled it down. The vice-commander continued to protest but he was ignored completely. Then the captain ordered his slaves to place him on a long table with chains and cuffs. His slaves did what they're told to. So, Hijikata was placed on the table, and put chains and cuffs on his wrists and ankles.
"This is bad! I want to die, but I don't want to be raped by this perverted captain!" he thought while panicking as he noticed the captain undressing himself.
"Help . . . I need help . . . Anyone . . . , please! Somebody . . . , help me!" he screamed in his head, until he saw an image of a silver-haired samurai popping on his mind, smiling and saying to him, "I don't care about how you feel towards me. I only care about you."
With those caring words that engulfed him with hope, he cried out desperately the name of the guy he hated the most when the naked captain went beneath him, "Sakata Gintoki! Save me if you really do care about me, you curly-haired bastard!"
"Who's that, mate? Your lover? It's impossible for people to infiltrate our hideout! So, don't expect someone to save you-!"
"Eh? Really? But, I infiltrated your hideout just by walking pass through the entrance," a familiar voice interrupted, followed by screams of dying people in the entrance of the warehouse. The captain quickly faced the intruder. Hijikata didn't even move from his position. He knew who's the intruder. He just smiled silently.
"You came," he thought with relief.
Captain Jackie growled loudly, "Who are you, you silver-haired intruder? How dare you mess up with my crew!"
"Umm . . . I'm just your ordinary freelancer. And, sorry about that, captain. You're the one who messes up with my soon-to-be husband first so it's only fair, right?"
He was shocked to hear it, "What? This captive of mine is your . . ."
Hijikata just blushed quietly when he heard it.
Gin smirked with deadly eyes, "Yeah. I'm glad you understand that fact, captain of perverts."
"Don't call me that! I'm Captain Jackie Sparrow!"
"Huh? Captain Junky Burrow? What kind of name is that?"
"It's Captain Jackie Sparrow, you deaf!" he corrected again.
He rolled his dead fish eyes, "Whatever. Release him or I'll get you eaten by a Kraken!"
"Your threats won't work on me, mate! Do you forget that we're inside my territory?"
"Yeah. I totally forgot it," he admitted while pricking his nose casually.
"You do?" the captain's mouth dropped.
"Will you two stop babbling now? It's almost time for the fighting scene of this fanfiction, so don't waste your time talking, you jerks!" exclaimed Hijikata angrily.
"Oh yeah. We forgot about that!" they replied in unison.
"You forgot it, too?" he retorted.
"Anyway, you'll see how dreadful the Black Pearl crew is! Attack, you fools!" the captain commanded. Immediately, the hidden pirates showed up from nowhere and surrounded the silver-haired samurai before attacking him at once.
"You'll not kill me, even less touch, with that kind of puny attack, you weaklings!" shouted Gin as he grabbed and swang his wooden sword around him with full force, causing the pirates to fly away to heaven or to hell. Witnessing how strong and fearless he was, Captain Jackie trembled in fear and Hijikata gulped in astonishment.
"He . . . He wiped almost all of the Black Pearl's crew . . . , one of the strongest space pirate crews in the universe. When did he become stronger?" wondered Hijikata as he watched Gin slashing the enemies easily as if he's only dancing in a sea of blood.
When Gin finally cut down the last pirate he saw, he pointed his wooden sword, which was covered in blood, at the frozen captain and snickered, "Is this only what your Black Pearl crew is made of, captain? How disappointing . . ."
Captain Jackie Sparrow gritted his teeth in agitation upon hearing Gin's insult. To make his enemy vulnerable, he took advantage of Hijikata who's underneath him. He unsheathed his rusty knife and put it beside the raven-haired guy's neck to frighten Gin.
"Hijikata-kun!" yelled Gin with worry.
"You're playing dirty," mumbled Hijikata madly while glaring at the captain.
"That's what being a pirate means, mate," he stated before looking at Gin again.
With a dirty grin, he commanded him, "Put down your weapon on the ground and raise up your hands or else, I'll kill your lover!"
"I'm not his lover!" protested Hijikata.
"Eh? Then, who are you to him, mate?" the captain faced him with a puzzled look as he asked it.
The vice-commander's eyes widened as he also asked himself, "Who . . . Who am I to that bastard?"
Within a split of second, a wooden sword struck the captain down. It hit right through his chest so he fell down from the table without a sign of life. Hijikata was shocked to know that one of the most feared space pirate captain was already killed by the sugar freak. Gin walked towards the table lazily with a bright smile on his face because he finally killed the freak who almost rape his soon-to-be husband. As he got there, he noticed how beaten up Hijikata was, so he felt guilty for not staying by his side that time. If he only didn't leave him, Hijikata would never suffer like this . . . He's too ashamed now to know how idiotic he was. While thinking that, he destroyed sadly the chains and cuffs to free the weak vice-commander.
Hijikata sat up on the table when Gin finally removed all of the chains and cuffs. Thinking deeply, he realized that he's helpless without someone. He didn't know how terrifying it was to be alone . . . In fact, he's so weak and stubborn . . . To cover it up, he kept on practicing to become strong, and sought for people who would recognize him as an equal, so he joined Shinsengumi. Not only that. He didn't want also others to think of him as a burden and a weakling, so he kept on pushing forward, not worrying if he would get killed. Everyone will die after all, so why he should fear death? However, his perspective changed a bit when Gin saved him just now because he realized that someone still cares about him. He thought it's only a lie . . . , but he's wrong. He was so thankful to him, but his thoughts were all messed up so he couldn't explain it in words. He could only express it in actions.
The silver-haired samurai was surprised as Hijikata hugged him and cried like a helpless child on his chest. Gin couldn't believe that the demon vice-commander, who always hated him and had a strong personality, had shown his adorable, vulnerable side. He chuckled, not because it's funny to watch, but because Hijikata was finally ready to be honest and it relieved him. In response, Gin didn't say anything at all, too, but he wrapped his arms around Hijikata quietly and sympathized with him while crying out also all of his frustrations and reliefs silently. Loving someone was hard, but it was the most wonderful thing that he'd ever done in his life. He probably understood now what Kondo feels when he's stalking Otae over and over again.
"I'm glad, Hijikata-kun . . . I'm glad that I've fallen in love with you," thought Gin warmly as he carried the sleeping vice-commander on his arms while watching him snuggling on his chest.
-~- GINTAMA -~-
After an hour . . .
Noisy sirens of police cars were parked outside the hideout of the Black Pearl in the middle of the night. The Shinsengumi took a long time to find it, but when they arrived, they only found corpses of pirates lying around the abandoned docks. The others also found the dead captain inside the creepy warehouse. They're all curious who made a killing spree there. However, only few people knew about it and they smiled in relief when they read a carved message on the long table, stating, "He's safe."
"Kondo-san, there's a reward for killing Captain Jackie Sparrow, right? Should we give it to the happy couple?" asked Sougo while watching his comrades collecting the dead bodies of pirates.
"Yeah. I think they need it for their upcoming wedding," replied Kondo with a chuckle as he patted Sougo's head.
"This is a miracle among miracles," thought Yamazaki, witnessing the result of Gin's love for their vice-commander. He realized that this would happen if anyone wanted to abduct Hijikata again.
Meanwhile at a certain hotel room . . .
"Where am I again . . . ? Why do I keep on finding myself in a strange place . . . ?" murmured Hijikata with an annoyed look as he opened his eyes lazily and found himself lying on a big-sized bed . He's too tired and had many bandages on his body so he couldn't sit up. So, he only turned his head to view the room he's staying in. The room was clean, small and simple. It calmed him down to know that he's in a safe place. He thought Gin was planning something nasty again so he's worried. Recalling again the last event, he couldn't believe that he hugged and cried to that sugar freak. He felt a bit embarrassed when he did that, but he felt at ease now as if the burden and shell he's carrying and wearing all the time were gone. Maybe it's a good thing, after all, to cry when he couldn't take the pain anymore or if he's grateful about something. He was contented now for he felt a sense of accomplishment when he learned that. While resting on the bed, he heard someone entering the room so he looked at his right side and saw Gin wearing casual clothes and carrying a grocery bag. When Gin noticed that he's awake, he greeted him with a warm smile, "Good evening, Hijikata-kun. How are you feeling?"
"He's acting weird . . . ," thought Hijikata as he replied, "I'm feeling fine but a little bit tired. By the way, where are we?"
"We're in a hotel. The hideout of the Black Pearl was too far away from our places. This hotel is near from the hideout so I went here while carrying you. Since I'm tired from the fight and you're injured, it's better to stay here tonight to replenish our energy and to heal your injuries," he explained as he sat on a chair near the bed.
"You got a point there. We'll just go home tomorrow morning then," the raven-haired guy agreed.
Gin got quiet when he heard it and began to fidget his fingers nervously. Hijikata noticed it. He's right that the curly-haired punk was planning something. He hated to notice it so he said, "Spill it out, you bastard. You wanna say something, right?"
Gin was shocked, "Eh? Am I too obvious?"
He snapped, "Yeah! You're too obvious! You're acting nervous! It's getting on my nerves, you sugar freak!"
The silver-haired samurai was getting more nervous when Hijikata noticed that he had other motive. He's sweating right now and got scared, but he must say it before it's too late. He gulped his fear and asked, "Hijikata-kun, do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?"
Hijikata had a dark expression on his face after hearing it.
"This is bad . . . ! He looks like he's about to kill me! I shouldn't have said that!" he thought with a panicking look.
"Where are we dating?" questioned Hijikata with an ominous aura around him.
Gin was shivering in fear so he's stuttering, "We-We're going to-to Mayorin Amusement Pa-Park! I heard it's newly-made so-"
"What?" he sat up straight immediatedly and stared at him.
Gin repeated with a sweat drop, "Like I said, we're going to Mayorin Amusement Park."
Then he suddenly noticed Hijikata drooling with a creepy smile on his face. He got more scared when the raven-haired guy started to chant "Mayorin" happily like he's singing. For Gin, he's like chanting a demon spell or summoning an unknown being on earth. However, seeing this other side of Hijikata, he chuckled again. He found it cute, actually.
When Hijikata came back to reality and saw Gin gazing at him intently with the same smile he received earlier, he blushed hard and growled, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's creeping me out . . ."
"You're so cute just now, Hijikata-kun," he confessed without hesitation, making the vice-commander's heart skip a beat.
"Wha-What are you trying to-to-?"
Abruptly, Gin closed the distance between them as he stood up and caught his lips with his gently. Hijikata got surprised as he found himself losing to Gin's kiss. It felt like . . . he missed it. Without the urge to push him back, he deepened the kiss they're sharing while his heart was beating faster. Gin was glad that he's finally responsing to the kiss. Slowly, Gin went to the bed and laid Hijikata down as their tongues played sweetly. It felt weird for the vice-commander to remove the sugar freak's clothes quickly while letting the other to lick his neck until to his nipple. He moaned in delight as Gin continued to lick and to caress his topless body. While they enjoyed their intimacy, Gin asked softly, "Do you start to like me, Hijikata-kun?"
Hijikata froze as confusing feelings surfaced in his head. He didn't know anymore if he hated Gin. He's feeling weak around him. Every touch and every word Gin used, he felt his heart was going to burst. He knew that he's really going insane. But the feelings he felt for the silver-haired was unexplainable yet warm. He noticed that he had a new viewpoint about Gin and felt safe in his arms. He wanted to express it in words so it would be convincing . . . However, he couldn't think of a word.
He replied helplessly, "I don't know if I hate you or like you anymore, you bastard . . ."
Gin smirked, "Then, will you put your feelings for me into actions?"
"Just like last time . . . eh?" he thought as he closed his eyes, remembering how grateful he was when Gin came. While blushing, Hijikata gave the curly-haired guy a passionate French kiss. Gin was astonished when he did that, but he accepted it while closing his eyes and enjoying their long kiss. It lasted for five minutes. When they parted to breathe some air, Gin chuckled while panting, "I know what you feel now, Hijikata-kun . . . I'm glad to receive it. Plus, I didn't know that you already mastered the French kiss."
"Shut up . . . ," mumbled Hijikata with slight embarrassment, but deep inside him, he's also happy to hear it.
Then they made themselves comfortable on the bed as Gin laid down beside Hijikata. Gin couldn't continue it because he's worried about Hijikata's injuries so he would just wait for them to be healed. Feeling loved, Gin embraced the vice-commander and planted a soft kiss on his forehead that made his face as red as a tomato.
"Will you stop doing it for awhile, you sugar freak?" he replied with an embarrassed look as he turned to the other side of the bed.
"Sure, if that is my lucky one's wish," answered Gin warmly as he wrapped his left arm around Hijikata's waist while the other hand was running through Hijikata's smooth black hair.
"I'm not lucky, you idiot," he whispered sadly as he recalled all of the bad things that happened to his life. But when he met the Shinsengumi and the most annoying yet caring samurai, his life became brighter. "You made me lucky . . ."
With a genuine smile, he held Gin's left hand and slept peacefully in his embrace.
Without Hijikata knowing, Gin listened to him until he fell asleep. He chuckled as he wrapped his other arm to Hijikata's waist and snuggled closer to him, "You're so dense, Toshirou . . . You don't like or hate me . . . You love me."
-~- GINTAMA -~-
The next morning . . .
"Umm . . . Can I ask something?" requested Hijikata while he and Gin were walking in the street after checking out from the hotel.
Gin asked with dead fish eyes, "What is it, Hijikata-kun?"
"Why are we wearing the same t-shirt, you bastard?" he complained while pointing out their white t-shirts with pictures of strawberries and mayonnaise bottles, and a big "I Love You" sign in the front.
"Well, it's a popular trend for lovey-dovey couples, right?" he reasoned out normally.
"Lovey-dovey, my ass! It's too humiliating! And, we're not even a couple yet . . . ," he suddenly trailed off when he said the last statement.
Gin noticed it and showed a knowing smirk. So, he held Hijikata's right hand and dragged him towards the near amusement park.
The raven-haired guy protested while being dragged by the white-haired samurai, "Oi! What are you doing? Let me go, you sugar freak!"
"Hijikata-kun."
Hijikata closed his mouth when Gin was about to say something.
"Couple or not, I'll always stay by your side, so don't worry about anything."
The vice-commander blushed after listening to his words. He remained silent as he let himself be guided by the curly-haired guy while holding his hand tightly.
When they arrived at the Mayorin Amusement Park, Hijikata's eyes sparkled with joy and excitement since his dream was to visit his favorite Mayorin Wonderland that looked like a child's dream place with lots of mayonnaise and egg-like dwarfs with red underwears. Just like he expected, the amusement park looked exactly the same with his imagination. The rides were all based upon mayonnaise bottles and the water in the fountains, drinks and water-themed rides were all mayonnaise-colored. Instead of being dragged by Gin, Hijikata dragged him quickly to all sorts of available rides in the amusement park like a kid. They rode the Mayo Roller Coaster, the Mayo Bump Cars, the Mayo Merry-Go-Round, the Mayo Horror House and other Mayo-related rides.
"Why all of the names of the rides are starting with Mayo and is the horror house considered as a ride, as well?" exclaimed Gin on his mind while shouting and running away from Mayo-ghosts and Mayo-zombies in the Mayo Horror House.
After riding, they ate in a restaurant that, obviously, serves delicious food and drinks with mayonnaise. Hijikata ordered almost all of the dishes and beverages in the menu, ignoring a penniless and puking freelancer on the corner of the restaurant.
The last ride they chose was the Mayo Ferris Wheel. Hijikata gazed outside the translucent glass mayonnaise bottle-looking cage with seats as it turned around from bottom to top with other cages. He admired the sunset view from the top while humming the Mayorin chant with a creepy smile. He enjoyed all the rides and foods in the amusement park very much, so he considered this day as his luckiest day in his life. More importantly, there's one more reason why he considered it as his luckiest day. With a faint chuckle, he looked at the snoring silver-haired guy beside him, and their clasped hands warmly. He started to understand his growing feelings for Gin slowly as he recalled all the good and bad times he had with this bastard. They were neither enemies nor lovers, but the unexplainable bond they had with each other was unbreakable. Although he's still afraid to admit how much he needed the sugar freak, he's trying to believe that someday and somehow . . . , he could finally say what he wanted to tell him without any hesitation and frustration.
"I love you, Hijikata-kun . . . ," mumbled Gin in his sleep, snuggling to his right shoulder.
Hijikata got surprised a bit and blushed with an irritated look when he heard it. He growled under his breath while lighting up his new cigarette between his lips, "Don't say such needless things when you're asleep, you idiot . . ."
While gazing again at the sun which almost settled down over the sea, and revealed a black night sky full of stars after a couple of minutes, he released a cloud of smoke from his mouth when he removed his lit cigarette from his mouth and added, "You should only say those words when you're facing me with open eyes . . ."
When their ride on the ferris wheel was over, he smacked Gin's head to wake him up. "Oi! Wake up, you bastard! It's time for us to go home now!"
"Ouch . . . ! Don't smack me like that, Hijikata-kun! I will have Encephalitis in no time!" grumbled Gin while soothing his aching head after waking up abruptly.
"Huh? Elephanlitis? What is that? Are you trying to fool me?"
After exiting the amusement park and arguing a little, Hijikata held Gin's left hand slowly with a flustered face, making the silver-haired samurai surprised and glad.
"Do you enjoy our first date, Hijikata-kun?" he questioned with a smile.
"Yeah . . . ," the raven-haired guy answered shyly while looking away from him. He added with a counter, "But, don't think that I love it and say that it's the most wonderful thing that happened in my life!"
Gin laughed, "Hijikata-kun, I never ask you what you think of our date. I bet you're the one who really think of it as your number one date in your whole life! Am I right?"
Realizing his cover was blown, Hijikata blushed more and shouted, "Shut up and die, you bastard!"
As they reached the parking area, Gin moved his scooter out from the parking slot and sat on it while turning it on. He threw an extra helmet to Hijikata and wore his own helmet and goggles. After putting it on, Hijikata sat behind Gin on the scooter.
Gin told him, "Oi. Put your arms around my waist so you won't fall, Hijikata-kun."
Hijikata hissed, "I know that, you idiot! Even monkeys know that!"
Easier said than done, the vice-commander was hesitating to wrap his arms around Gin's waist. He's starting to get nervous and crazy just by touching him. When a minute passed by, Gin gave out a heavy sigh and held both Hijikata's arms to put them around his waist. "Don't be shy. Just relax and hold me like what you did to my hand a few minutes ago."
Feeling at ease after hearing his encouraging words, he tightened his hug around Gin's waist. "Okay . . ."
"Good," he smirked and then he started to drive the scooter on the road towards Kabuki District.
As they rode Gin's scooter, Hijikata felt the gush of cold wind on his skin and it really felt nice. This kind of feeling was like he felt when he's with the curly-haired guy - the feeling of contentment, protection, encouragement and trust. Truth be told, he has already fallen in love with him. As seconds passed by while they're close together, it became more crystal clear to him what he felt for him. Without containing any more of his overflowing feelings, he started to speak loudly, "Yorozuya!"
"Huh? What is it?" asked Gin while yawning.
"Listen to what I'll say to you, okay?"
Gin got curious why he became serious, so he agreed, "Sure, I'll listen."
Every minute he took a deep breath, he tried to be brave to finally say the word that he couldn't just say to anyone anytime. With determination, he shouted with tears falling out from his eyes, "I-I love you, you son of a bitch!"
Hearing it, Gin was speechless. His eyes were wide open. He almost got to the wrong road and got them killed. On the other hand, Hijikata was breathing heavily after shouting it out loud. He also couldn't believe that he said those three precious words. With too much relief, he cried on Gin's back and continued to say it until he's satisfied.
Gin, hearing the raven-haired guy's confession many times behind him, replied sincerely, "I've been waiting for those words all this time, Toshirou . . ."
When they finally arrived at Gin's place, the silver-haired samurai carried the vice-commander after they took off their helmets and goggles. They kissed passionately without any pause as they went to Gin's room without anyone finding out. Quickly, they took off their clothes and fell down on the tatami floor while kissing. Their intimacy was too strong that Gin already held Hijikata's manhood and squeezed it gently while licking his neck and nipples. Hijikata moaned sweetly as he craved for more. When his manhood became hard, Gin moved downwards and put it inside his mouth. He sucked it up and licked it playfully while enjoying the vice-commander's soft moans of delight. After releasing it, Gin kissed Hijikata again and explored his body with his hands while their tongues played in harmony. Their bodies moved in rhythm as Gin parted Hijikata's legs apart and went to the middle. Being ready to be with the curly-haired samurai, Hijikata permitted Gin to penetrate him. With gentleness, he penetrated the raven-haired guy slowly, causing him to moan louder than usual and to cry in pain and ecstasy. Hijikata wrapped his arms around Gin's neck as the silver-haired guy did it as many times as they like. To lessen the noise they're making, Gin gave the vice-commander a long kiss, which made Hijikata more breathless. After doing their first intense sex, Hijikata slept with contentment in Gin's arms. The silver-haired samurai kissed him good night as he covered themselves with his blanket. Before sleeping, he was thinking deeply. He never thought that they finally made love with each other. It was a big surprise, really. He thought Hijikata was too conservative, but he's one damn hot partner when they did it. Luck was on his side this time, but he's still haunted by the fact that it started because of Mitsuba's request. What if Hijikata heard it? Would he leave and hate him forever? This was too complicated . . . While thinking too much and being tired, he didn't notice that he slept silently as his heavy eyelids closed down.
The next day . . .
Gin's eyes fluttered open as the sunlight from his window stung his eyes so he tried to cover his squinting eyes with his left hand, but someone blocked the sunlight suddenly before he could do it. Focusing his blurry sight on a standing man wearing a dark green hakama, his vision became clearer as seconds passed by. When he did, he saw the vice-commander tearing up a piece of paper. Realizing that the piece of paper was actually the contract of agreement of their wedding, Gin stood up immediately and cried out, "What the hell are you doing, Hijikata-kun?"
Hijikata faced him with a serious look as he dropped the torn pieces of the contract. "I don't want this, you bastard."
To be continued . . .
