Gintama: It Is Love!

I'll Tell You How (Okita Sougo)

"Toshi-chan, Kon-chan!!~"

Okita's red eyes snapped up the moment he heard that lovely voice ring in the air. A second later, she appeared— with a little bounce in her steps and her hair swaying with every step she took.

'How can this girl look so beautiful in everything she does?....' Okita thought in his mind, his hand unknowingly clenching when (Y/N) walked into the room. Luckily for him, he was able to keep his emotions in check— he wasn't one to wear his heart on his sleeve.

He was in love with her very much but—

"Oh, Sou-chan—!" (Y/N)'s (E/C) eyes spotted Okita sitting on the porch, red eyes directed to the sky and a cup of tea in his hands.

Sougo shortly turned to her when she called out to him. "I-I, uh— Have you seen Toshi-chan and Kon-chan? I have something to ask them...." She gulped nervously.

Okita's eyes bore into hers, as if he was waiting for her to speak. But, he wasn't uttering a single word and that monotone expression on his face void of emotion wasn't helping at all.

"No, I haven't— But, if you're looking for them they must be in Kondo-san's office." He shortly spoke, making the girl sigh in relief— she thought he had no plans in even replying to her.

"I-I see!! Thank you!!" She bellows out softly and quickly ran away without another word.

"Sou-chan looks so handsome...but he's kind of scary sometimes....But, it doesn't really change the way I feel about him...." (Y/N) murmured lowly to herself, with a face red.

"I....still love Sou-chan!"

"Huh? You love who?"

"K-KYAAA!! Toshi-chan, you scared me!!!"

"Scared you? You were the one walking into the room looking absent-minded!!"

"Oh, right. T-The paperworks...." (Y/N) trails off her eyes falling unto the bunch of papers she held in her hands.

(Y/N) was more or less Kondo's adopted daughter, though she was a year older than Okita— She was just a child wandering all alone in Bushu until Kondo stumbled upon her and took her in. (Y/N) grew up with them, and she also grew to love a certain sandy haired sadist.

--

"Where the hell is she?......" Okita lowly sighs, scratching the back of his head irritatedly, and with one hand shoved into the pocket of his pants he wandered into (Y/N)'s office.

He had been searching for the woman for hours now, no particular reason but he just wanted to see her— He couldn't live a day without seeing her just once.

When he arrived at her office, there she was working on her desk— her hair tied in a high bun exposing her long slender neck, making Okita gulp and take a deep breathe unconsciously.

His heart started beating faster, and he felt nervous— unable to tear his gaze away. This woman was able to make him feel things, without doing anything. She also challenged his inner sdistic demon with the way she looked so casually unaware and clueless of everything which just made him want to take advatage of her.

Okita stepped forward to move closer to her, his eyes locked on that exposed part of her neck— he slowly reached his hand out towards the still-oblivious woman who was unaware of Okita's presence behind her.

Then, when Okita's fingertips finally reached the hair tie (Y/N), he pulled it and then her hair came falling down gracefully over her shoulders.

"Wha—??" She turned around and met Okita's face directly in front of her. The distance between them was even less than a centimeter. He bent down slightly to loom at her and (Y/N) blushed.
