[Osomatsu pauses. he didn't realize that Gintoki wanted him to come in. he thought he was just retreating back to his room. but... the door was left open. so Osomatsu turns around and pokes his head back inside.

he finally smiles again, cheeks lightly flushed]

Yeah, things are gettin' better. The three of us are gonna be moving to a bigger place.

[naturallywavy]

Good to know it's finally gonna be quiet around here.
_{[ What he meant to say is 'it's good you all are getting along' but he's not sure why this sentence came out instead. ]}

[relieable]

Yeah, yeah! It probably will be! [he laughs, not at all offended] But, don't worry. If ya miss us, we won't be that far away. We even have a guestroom... [well, technically it's going to be the wank room, but Gintoki doesn't need to know that]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Gintoki will probably use it for wanking too, no worries. ]}
I've got this feeling it's gonna be the other way around and you're gonna be missin' me.

[relieable]

[ah............................... . . .]

Well, you're a good neighbor. [also you're cool. too cool! it's not fair!]

[naturallywavy]

Dunno what makes a 'good neighbor.' I didn't have neighbors back home, but I guess it means keeping quiet and sharing fruit cake.
_{[ He doesn't have neighbors. Just a pain in the ass grandma that he owes his life to.
That he already misses. His promise he made with her could be broken at this rate, but he has a feeling she's still okay— even with Edo in shambles right now. ]}

Which if that's the case... I don't think I'm a very good neighbor. All the cake is mine— don't even think about eating any, you bastard.
_{[ Said in a more lighthearted tone than usual. ]}

[relieable]

[a snort]

I ain't sharing my cake with you, either. [so Gintoki likes cake, huh? and he seemed to like the cookie Osomatsu gave him] I guess that makes us both bad neighbors.

[Gintoki's still cool, though, even if he won't share his sweets]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Gintoki just watches him with a half-opened gaze. Osomatsu was really trying to get on his level with anything, wasn't he? Even his trashy level? How desperate is this guy? ]}

Cake is my love language. Are you sure about that?

[relieable]

[too desperate]

Y-your love language? You love it that much, huh? [hmmm. he looks up, thinking. next time, he'll bring a cake? no, that would seem too...] I like sweets all right, but I think I like salty things better.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ You don't understand, Osomatsu. He became especially addicted to sweets after the war, though he was always a big fan of strawberries. ]}

Everyone's different, y'anno. I suppose I just like the things that make me happy.
_{[ He finds contentment in the little things because otherwise he's just sad. ]}

Makes you feel good when somebody gives you something salty, right? It's that kind of feeling.

[relieable]

Oh, like a gift? [when was the last time someone gave him a gift? a snack gift? usually, when mom brings home snacks, it's not a gift. it was food that they all shared] Yeah, that'd make me happy, too! ...Man, now I want some chips.

[naturallywavy]

So you get what I mean. It's a love language that us moochers can only understand.
_{[ Look at him, He put you on equal level with him! Isn't that cute. ]}

Rich people don't get it. They've been too busy bathing in yen that so much money is up their asses they can't appreciate little things.

[relieable]

[heh. this guy really was knowledgeable. it was like everything he said was some nugget of wisdom. he was like a walking-talking shounencyclopedia!

...damn, Osomatsu wished that he could make that joke out loud]

Yeah, yeah, I get it. You like cake. [he grins] You can just tell me that you like it, don't need to give me a whole speech about it.

[naturallywavy]

Hey, of course I do! I bet you'd wanna give me a whole speech about salty things! You don't get it with cake since you're not a sweets person! Don't insult the cake! The cake-god will curse you!
_{[ ??? ]}

[relieable]

[???]

Are you the cake-god?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ ?????????? ]}
I could be.

[relieable]

Well, then...

[he sucks in a breath, then points at Gintoki]

The cake is a lie!

[and then he runs away!]
