The Land of the Samurai ; 侍の国 (Gintama x Reader)

Sleep Helps A Child Grow

Short, sharp and simple! That's all you need to convince Gintoki for anything, really. Either way, it's not like he would refuse you... right? As you crept towards him, you kept an eye on his body language. He didn't seem to be in a bad mood - his eyes weren't smaller than usual. Looks like he was in his usual moods... that is, a lazy one. After you let out a sigh, the said man then angrily got up.

"You've been sneaking around like that for the past two hours! What do you want?! You're acting like that stalker!" Oops, guess you were wrong.

"I'm gonna stay over for the night!" If you made it sound like you were declaring it, he would have a harder time to decline it.

"Hey! Don't make it sound like a demand. You have your own home," he threw his JUMP magazine at you, which you easily caught it.

"Yeah, well, after Otae-chan came over yesterday, she kind of broke my stove. So now there's a gas leak. You wouldn't want me to die, would you?" You put your hands into a prayer position and tried to convince him even further.

"You are a manipulative monster, you hear me?" Gintoki pointed. "Stay for one night, then leave."

"...I thought you'd be more happy that I'm staying over. Usually you never leave my house when you're over... you don't want me in yours?" The man rolled his eyes and jumped onto one of the blue couches, ignoring what you had said. "...Gintoki, what are you hiding from me?"

"Shut up!"

。。。

Basically, you made yourself comfortable in his home - setting up a futon in his room, placing your necessities in the bathroom; you know, the usual. But for some reason, Gintoki seemed to be a bit more on edge than he usually is.

He had been yelling at you to move all of your things out of his way, yet they weren't doing anything to bother him! He was seriously trying to hide something. Unbeknownst to you, he was feeling a bit nervous having you stay overnight.

Sure, he might've been hiding some porno magazines under his desk, but that's not what he was nervous about. He was just scared about having you sleep beside him. Honestly, he might just go crazy.

You snuck into his closet and grabbed one of his kimonos to wear to bed; surprisingly it was very comfortable. No wonder he wore it all the time and had no other clothes. "...Why are you wearing that?" he walked in just as you had placed your arms through the sleeves. "And don't go on a scavenger hunt in here."

"I don't know, it looked comfortable so I put it on. You don't mind, do you? Even if you did, I'm wearing it anyways."

"...Annoying ass woman," Gintoki scratched his hair and shook his head at your antics. "Thinking she owns the place... who does she think she is?!" He then took one last glance at you before leaving the room. "Maybe I should let her keep one."

。。。

Soon enough, nighttime had come and the two of you (yourself and Gintoki) were laying on your futons. They had been placed beside one another, since there wasn't much room elsewhere. It wasn't a cold night per se, but you had goosebumps all over your body.

"Gintoki."

"What?" he replied immediately, as if he knew you were going to call him out.

"Stop staring at me."

He didn't reply straight away, opting to twist his body to face the other way instead. "...I'm not." Oh, case closed. "Now be quiet and go to sleep." You weren't sure how long you had slept, but you were woken up by loud shouts coming from Gintoki. When you opened your eyes, you noticed that Kagura had appeared-she was rolling around and over Gintoki's futon.
