I'm finally posting something after so long! Well in any case this story is dedicated to cupcake-chan13 (Sorry if it's not spelt correctly). On with the story! The pic is hilarious by the way XD
Reader's POV
It was but a peaceful day at Yorozuya, the faint chirping of birds calm and lilting. I lay comfortably on a couch, an issue of Jump held in my hands as my eyes scanned the pages. A groan from the main bedroom alerted me of the sick individual I was taking care of.
Sighing in irritation yet just a little bit worried, I slid open the bedroom door and gazed in annoyance at the silver headed samurai. He was burled up in his blankets, a wet towel atop his feverish forehead and a mask across the bottom half of his face. "What now Gintoki? This better not be another request for sweets 'cause you're not getting any." I lectured half heartedly. Even if I said no I still would have gotten them for hi. Why? 'Cause I loved that curly head idiot. Did he know? Of course not, he's too oblivious to know. Did I try to confess? Well yes I did but little 'ol Sa-chan decided to be a party pooper and rain on my parade. She made sure that my confession was never properly voiced, so this current situation was more than welcomed.
Sighing I kneeled by his futon and removed the towel from his forehead. I soaked the fabric in the bucket of cold water beside the futon, wringing most of the liquid from it and placing it back on his overheating forehead. "Come on (Y/n) just one more parfait?" he questioned sadly, his voice a bit nasally because of his blocked nose. I smacked him lightly on the arm, which in turn made him groan in pain as his body was sore. "No, eating a parfait will not make you better, you're already suffering from a cold so eating ice cream ain't gonna help. Get that through your curly hair and head!" I scolded, honestly though, what the hell?! Eating anything cold will make him all the more sick, he knows that, yet he is so stubborn.
I stared down at Gintoki who smiled cheekily at me, his mask now laying of to the side, those dead fish eyes glinting with mischief. I was a second to late to realise what he was up too and before I knew it, I was lying under him bundled up with the blankets. "Gin-!" I started but stopped when I saw the determined look in his usual dead fish eyes. That look had me suffocating, but I didn't mind it. That was until he decided to speak. "Please get me a parfait?" he questioned again in a low voice. I felt an irk mark form at my temple but my rage right now had me shaking. "Are you cold? Here come closer." Gintoki murmured whilst pulling me closer. My resolve to hit him suddenly died down when I felt him press himself against me.
The hard ridges of his chest and abdomen had my inner fangirl gushing in absolute joy but my face remained passive. Not knowing what else I could possibly do, so I just put my arms around him and cuddled closer. Gintoki's arms tightened around me as we lay peacefully in his futon. It surprised me that he had such strength when his immunity was so low. Though the silence was peaceful I still felt the need to say something, something that I hoped Gintoki would not ignore.
"Hey Gin, can I tell you something?" I whispered, my confidence dwindling. Those wine red eyes stared blankly at me but the hint of curiosity glinting in them had me continuing. "Look, it ain't easy to say this but I love you Gintoki, I really do. Even if you are a lazy, sweet obsessed and sarcastic samurai. And not to be a nag but... do you feel the same?" I finished, I could barely look at him, my face felt like it was on fire. I felt his hand grip my chin and face me to look at him. The look in his eyes made me feel weak and scared. I didn't know what to expect, but when he leaned forward and kissed me I was more than surprised though I kissed back.
He pulled his lips away but hugged me closer, my face buried in his chest, his chin resting atop my head.
"Yeah I love you too."
I smiled knowing now just how shy he could be but I was more than happy to finally say that I was his.
...Extra...
"ACHOO!!!"
"You know, you should have stopped me from kissing you. You knew that I was sick so in retrospect you got yourself sick."
"Gintoki.... shut up...."
