Love For A Samurai [Gintama: Gintoki x Reader]

Beautiful Disguises

The guard stood firmly at the large double doors of the Laughing Ladies Lounge, succeeding in having the true
courtezans and patrons walk in two by two. He took so much pride in his job, hoping that maybe, just maybe, his hard work and perfection would pay off, resulting in a pay increase. He dreamed to get out of this dark city and find a girl, live a life of his own, have a family. All he wanted was something simple, something quaint, and it was only slightly out of his reach. If he worked hard for just a little bit longer, he knew he could take the next step into starting his goal. But, as he let the next courtezan and patron through, laying his eyes on the next four people in line, he did not predict that letting that bunch in would cost him it all.

You, still in Shinpachi's clothes— hiding your femininity— were arm in arm with Gintoki, who was in drag, and he was gorgeous! Gorgeous for an emergency costume, anyway. He had your pink yukata on that fit him just enough, and he tied his wavy, white hair into two scraggly pigtails. Following behind you was Kagura in a suit she "found", arm in arm with Shinpachi, who also was done up to look feminine.

"I don't get why we had to switch genders," Shinpachi whispered, cheeks becoming flush.

Kagura gave him a swift elbow to the side, making him lurch.

"Shut up, whore!" Kagura blurted "I own you tonight, got it?"

"Kagura, why-" Shinpachi struggled to hold back tears.

You cleared your throat as you and Gin approached the guard.

His eyes darted down to you and then to Gin, then back to you, but up to Gin again. He kept repeating this movement until he thought it was best to say "I don't recall one of our girls being this ugly".

You gasp, faking offense by his words "How dare you, are you kink shaming me? Who are you to judge my taste in girls? What is your name? I'll be sure to mention it when I give this establishment a Y*lp review later".

The guard visibly began to sweat "N-no! I'm very sorry, sir! Go right on in," he waves you and Gin on through, none the wiser.

You and Gin crack a smirk, both stepped further into the building.

It's then Kagura and Shinpachi's turn as the bouncer lays his eyes on them. Still shaken by what occurred moments before, he notices a similar problem, but is hesitant to say anything.

Before he could speak, Kagura made sure to have the first word. She sassily put out one finger, motioning him to stay quiet "Before you question me or say anything you might regret, yes, I am a little person. Call me anything else and I will sue your ass".

"Y-yessir!" the guard had lost his confidence as he quickly let Kagura and Shinpachi through without a second thought, fearing of insulting another customer.

Step one was complete, and now what the time to begin the second phase. The four of you, sticking as close together as you could without looking suspicious, made your way through the halls, pretending like you were heading to your private rooms. The main floor was busy, it was full of patrons and their girls drinking together at shady, public tables. You figured it was best to get out of the commotion, which all in all made it easier for you all to sneak away.

You find the elevator, where the four of you are finally able to discuss in private.

"This place is pretty big," you exhale, hiding the anxiety that was building up in you.

"It's alright," Gintoki looked focused "there's only three floors, right? The first one is all public, so that just leaves the top two".

"I'm a top," Kagura raised her hand.

"No!" Shinpachi's face turned red "Say that you'll 'Go to the top', Kagura-chan!"

"I know what I said," Kagura's expression stayed unchanged as she crossed her arms.

"I think the chances of the Boss' office being at the top are pretty likely," you say seriously "I want to head up there".

"I'll come with you," Gin followed up "Shinpachi, Kagura, you search the second floor".

"B-but top!" Kagura whined.

The doors of the elevator opened, revealing the landing of the second floor. Gintoki threw Kagura out of the lift by force, making her land on her face. Shinpachi calmly stepped out too, after her.

"Stay undetected," Gin reminded.

Shinpachi gave the thumbs up to you and Gin before the elevator doors shut. The both of you in the lift then feel yourselves begin to rise after a slight jiggle of the suspension, making your way to the third, final floor.
