Kagura skips into Odd Jobs Gin. "Gin-chan! I'm here!"

Shinpachi follows after her, carrying groceries in. "Kagura, you could at least help me carry one of these in," he mumbles. "Huh? Where's Gin-san?"

Shinpachi walks into the seemingly empty room.

"Hmmm. Maybe he's still asleep. Should I go get him?" Kagura asks.

"Of course he is. Yeah, wake him up. I'll just unpack these groceries, even though I'm the one who carried them all the way here," Shinpachi mutters bitterly as Kagura skips off towards Gintoki's room.

She throws the door open, "Gin-san! It's time to- Huh?!"

Shinpachi, hearing Kagura's cry and assuming the worst, runs to the room. "Kagura?! What's-"

He looks into the room at what Kagura's staring open-mouthed at and his own mouth gapes open. He watches (Name) rub her eyes tiredly, sitting up with a sleeping Gintoki's arm still wrapped around her waist.

"Ah. Shinpachi, Kagura, what are you doing here? Is it time to get up?" She asks groggily.

"Shin-chan! Shin-chan! It's finally happened!" Kagura cries excitedly. Shinpachi still stares in shock.

"He actually did it?!" He watches Gintoki groan tiredly, opening his eyes.

"What's all the noise?" The Samurai looks at the two in the doorway with a frown falling on his lips.

"What are you looking at?" He sits up, pulling (Name) closer to him. "Get out or I'll kick you out."

Without waiting for their response, he grabs a nearby item and throws it at the door, causing the two to scurry away.

Gintoki sighs and lies back, pulling (Name) down with him. "It's too early to get up." (Name) laughs softly.

"For you, maybe. If they're up then I guess I need to be too," she yawns.

"No way. I'm not letting you go."

"Gintoki, I need to," she's cut off buy his wrapping both of his arms around her, pulling her close towards him.

"...Fine. I'll stay for a little longer," she mumbles, allowing her eyes to close again and her body to fall asleep in the man's strong arms.

Down in the first floor, Shinpachi slides the door to the bar open, calling out in a rushed tone, "Otose-san! Otose-san! He did it! He really did it!" Otose's eyebrows raise slightly, her lips parting before she huffs.

"Well, took him long enough."
