Gintama x Reader One Shots

Sakata Gintoki x Reader: Love Confession Arc

All was quiet at the Yorozuya. Gin sat in his chair, feet propped up on the desk, reading the morning paper. Kagura sat on the couch, reading the toy ads in a magazine with a serious look on her face. Meanwhile, Shinpachi picked up all the pieces of discarded clothing on the floor, noting which person each belonged to so he could scold them later. All was calm, all was quiet, and they knew it couldn't last.

"Hey!" (F/N) said, bursting in the front door. "The mail just came in! We have a message from the author!"

"Hmm?" Gin looked up from the paper, finger up his nose. "Did that idiot finally get your letter?"

"Yup." (F/N) sighed, waving the note in the air. "Still no love confession arc. It's the third rejection this month."

"Really?" Gin leaned forward. "You explained how important it is to us, right?"

"Of course I did!" (F/N) exclaimed. "That's the whole reason we're bothering with this in the first place."

"And you remembered to be polite and respectful, right?"

"Obviously! My exact letter was 'Dear Dumbass Author, I'm writing to inform you that Gin and I want to finally be able to make out on screen, and maybe a bit more because we know how much you care about the censors. I know this may not seem like a very important addition to the series, but I don't know how much longer I can go without running my fingers down those sweet abs, and I know Gin has similar feelings about me. Sincerely, (F/N). PS, we characters are the only reason anyone knows you exist, so you might want to start treating us better.'"

Gin nodded methodically. "That seems polite and respectful."

"I know, right? I have no idea what I could've done wrong."

At the back of the room, Shinpachi grimaced. "I'm not sure I want to know if you two are being serious or not."

"They're serious," Kagura said, mouth full of pickled seaweed. "I helped (F/N)-nee write the letter."

Ignoring them, (F/N) sighed, and slumped over Gin's desk.

"Regardless," she muttered, "it doesn't sound like we're gonna be getting a confession arc..."

"And I've been practicing my tearful confession, too," Gin sighed. "I almost managed to make it sound genuine."

"What tearful confession?" (F/N) asked. "This is Gintama. There would probably be at least two inappropriate jokes and five bleeped-out words worked in there."

"Hey, don't underestimate dirty jokes!" Gin warned. "This anime has lasted for years on dirty jokes alone!"

"That and lots of thirsty fangirls." (F/N) sighed. "Honestly, at this rate, we're never going to get together."

Gin shook his head, and (F/N) put a finger to her chin, deep in thought. Slowly, an evil grin spread across her face, and she turned to Gin, fire lighting up her eyes.

"Hey, you know what we should do?"

Gin looked up at her. "What? Try to escape the anime again?"

(F/N) smacked his shoulder. "Of course not! That was a stupid idea in the first place!"

"Hey! You said you thought it was a good idea!"

"I—I was just saying that to make you feel better! So you know what we're gonna do instead?"

She grinned, and stabbed a finger in his chest.

"We're gonna write our own love confession arc!"
