Katsura sat up quickly, wide eyed. His head was reeling with pain, and it was dark. It was most DEFINATLY not his house. He looked around mechanically and slowly, surveying the house. He confirmed this was Gin's house. He looked down, seeing that his Haori was opened more than usual and he was covered with a soft green blanket. He hurriedly fixed his Haori, and swung his legs over the side of the couch and froze. He was staring at a sleeping Gintoki.
'….why… why is he asleep out here?' Katsura asked in his head. He watched Gin for a second, it was as if the man was dead, and it could have fooled anyone who saw him if it wasn't for him breathing. He bit the inside of his lip, contemplating. He remembered He felt pretty bad yesterday, that's why he went out and got drunk, but why did he end up at Gintoki's house?
"..Gin-San!" Katsura hissed lightly. When he didn't get a reaction he sighed. "Gin-San!" He said a little bit louder. He still didn't get a reaction so he threw the man's Shonen-Jump at him and screamed his name. "GIN-SAN!" Katsura cried, jerking the silver head from sleep. Katsura held his head in pain.
"oh.. Zura… Are you feeling any better?" Gin asked slowly.
"What? And it's Ka-Katsura! Not Zura!" Katsura growled painfully. "G-Get it right." He hissed. "Why am I here?"
"I should be asking you that. You just showed up here dead drunk." Gintoki sighed, picking up his manga. "I came out here to check on you and I just passed out here after you told me you felt sick again." Gin shrugged.
They traded glances before they both stood up.
"Uh… I'll be going." Katsura nodded.
"Oh no you won't. What made you drink last night?" Gin asked, cutting Katsura off.
"Nothing." Katsura growled.
"Zura, we can do this one of two ways, you choose." Gin dared, staring blankly at Katsura.
"Move Gin-San!" Katsura snapped.
"Tell me what's wrong Katsura!" Gin barked back, making the Bakudan ma freeze in his place. Gin grabbed Katsura's shoulders roughly. "I can't help you with money issues, but if someone's bothering you just blow them up!" Gin said quickly.
"It's not money or something bothering me Gin-San." Katsura sighed.
"Then what is it? Elizabeth?" Gin asked.
"No, it's not her." Katsura shook his head.
"But it is a person, right?"
"Not quite, but it can relate to a person in a certain way." Katsura nodded. He sighed when he saw the blank face on Gin. "Yes gin-San, it's a person." He sighed.
"Who is it? Kagura? Shinpachi? Me?" Gin Asked quickly.
"Ask slower!" Katsura sighed.
"Kagura?" Gin asked slowly.
"No." Was this really right? For Katsura to really have to keep answering Gintoki like a child?
"Shinpachi?" Gin asked in a lazy tone.
"No!" Katsura sighed, getting impatient.
"Me?"
Silence.
Katsura tried to walk around Gin, but the man just grabbed Katsura's arms.
"What did I do wrong? You just showed up at my house! I never yelled at you or stole from you!" Gin exclaimed.
"Yeah, and I'm so very proud of you." Katsura hissed.
"please tell me what I did wrong Katsura." Gin whispered.
Katsura bit his lip, bowing his head.
"Nothing at all." Katsura whispered. Gin remained quiet but still kept a tight hold on Katsura's arms. "You've been my friend since we were little, you did nothing wrong." Katsura shook his head.
"….I know I did something wrong to you." Gin said in a deep voice. Katsura glanced at the silver head from below his bangs. "So you better just come out and tell me what it is I did."
"…Gin-San, you wouldn't understand it even if I did tell you." Katsura shook his head.
"just tell me." Gin debated.
"You've been toying with my emotions, now can I please go home?" Katsura asked quickly.
"Uh…" Gin let go of his friend in confusion. "Sure?" Gin asked.
" Toying with emotions? Huh, that usually means that person likes you and you either know it and are doing on purpose, or you're completely clueless and doing it on accident." Otae shrugged. Gin stared at her with a blank face. "In other words that person, who told you that, likes you." She sighed. "And you've been neglecting them by accident." She said and gin stood up. She could have sworn he looked mad.
"Thank you for your help Otae-Chan, but I have to go somewhere." Gin said and ran from her house, leaving her confused.
Gin ran down the side of the road, running as quick as he could.
'Does Zura like me or something? I mean… I have nothing against same sex relationships, but He could of at least told me out front and not of ran away! moron!' gin cried, skidding to a stop as he nearly tackled the normal looking Katsura. Gin pointed to Katsura who looked up. Elizabeth was beside him.
"Zura! Why didn't you tell me?" Gin cried.
"Tell you what exactly?" Katsura sighed.
"That you Like me!" Gin accused and Katsura's eyes widened. Gin smiled lightly as Elizabeth ran away. Gin walked towards the frozen Katsura and took off the hat Katsura always wore. "Things would have been better if you told me out front in my house and not run away." Gin whispered and brought their faces close together. "So was I correct?"
"…Yes. I like you." Katsura admitted shyly. "But I didn't plan on telling you." He sighed.
"Why not?" Gin asked, wrapping one arm around Katsura's neck lightly.
"Because! How often does a man, let alone a Jouishishi, confess to another man?" Katsura hissed.
"Dunno, it's becoming quite common in Japan though." Gin smiled, pulling lightly at Katsura's Hair. The Bakudan ma just realized how close the two of them were and tensed. "So, was I making you depressed or something Zura?" gin smiled.
"it's Katsura, not Zura." Katsura sighed. "And you could say that, it's more of a neglect thing." Katsura mumbled, trying to stay calm. He saw the blank expression and sighed. "Say Shinpachi was mentioning sweets, but you didn't want to be rude and ask for some, you'd just hope they'd offer you some."
"Oh!...Wait. I'm like sweets to you?" Gin asked.
"God your hopeless." Katsura sighed. "Yeah okay. You're like sweets to me." He nodded. "Now can you please give me my personal space?"
"Huh uh." Gin smirked, wrapping his other arm around Katsura's waist. "I think this is better than personal space." Gin smiled lightly. "Don't you think Zura?" Gin smiled.
Katsura opened his mouth to correct Gin, but Gin just pressed their lips together roughly, feeling as if he bruised their lips. Katsura tried to fight it back, but the Yorozuya was stronger than he was in this position. He closed his eyes, opening his mouth for Gin, who seized the opportunity. Katsura slowly grabbed at Gintoki's kimono, clenching it tightly. Gin broke the lavish kiss and smiled at the blushing Katsura.
"We can't really do much in the street, you know." Gin chuckled and let Katsura look around. A few females were smiling at them, and a few guys were gawking at them. "Plus, I don't like crowds like these. Let's go back to my place, it's still early I the morning and Kagura is over at Shinpachi's house." Gin smiled, stepping away from the blushing man.
"….Okay." Katsura nodded, looking over his shoulder. "Where did Elizabeth run off too?" He muttered, letting the silver head lace their hands together.
