Anger With No Management

Hey everyone!
First of all, I'm a non-native English speaker, so I'm sorry if there's any mistake.

I just wanted to write something where Hijikata stood up for Gintoki, and then I just couldn't not write the equivalent.

I hope you'll enjoy it, see you at the end!

There hadn't been many instances in which Hijikata Toshirou had lost his temper in public over someone that was not one of his men. If you asked Gintoki about it, he would probably tell you that, even though the Vice-Commander often screamed at people for no reason – those were the Yorozuya's words, once again, one is not to take his every word as pure truth – the man was an example of calmness, compared to the rest of his men and the Yorozuya family.

Even if he was a seemingly aloof man, a strong fighter, and a demonic Vice-Commander, Hijikata was also a shy man. A shy and silent man who preferred discretion most of the time when he was not in service.

That was part of the reason why he and Gintoki could take a stroll into town together without being noticed by Hijikata's usual fangirls whenever they wanted. His uniform was part of the charm, which was why people tended to not recognise him when he didn't wear it.

It didn't mean that people stopped gawking at him in the streets, but the plain yukata helped.He was still hot like this, though. As much as it pained him to admit it, Gintoki could attest. He loved the uniform on him, but seeing him in traditional attire definitely was a treat he appreciated.

Basically, Hijikata was a discreet man once he dropped the uniform. But it didn't mean that he laid low for all that, as Gintoki realised one evening.

It was the end of the day, a calm one. It was one of Hijikata's rare days off, and one of the many where Gintoki didn't get any call. Or that was what he claimed. Weirdly enough, no one ever seemed to call the Yorozuya Agency when Hijikata had a free day.

Anyway, Gintoki had realised, quite late in the day, that they didn't have any rice anymore in the house, and that they'd have to go to the store quickly if they wanted to avoid one of Kagura's famous food tantrums. These crisis, though rare because Gintoki was a good dad able enough to take care of his kid, turned her into a mini – but still awfully terrifying – Big Mom.

Thankfully, mini Big Mom wasn't home and had not realised yet that they were out of rice. Which gave enough room for manoeuvre to Gintoki to actually go buy some before she got back.

Gintoki sighed as he closed his cupboard, straightening up with a grunt. 'I have to go to the store, you're coming?'

Hijikata wanted to retort that he was on his day off, that he had better things to do than go to the store with Gintoki like an old-married couple to buy some rice, so he answered 'Okay, but quickly then'.

Gintoki raised an eyebrow. 'As if you had anything better to do'.
