[oh.

it's like Gintoki has enlightened him]

Y-You're right! She is fancy! She totally drinks tea with her pinkie up!

_{[ Gintoki clasps his hands together. ]}

Ah-hahaa! That's just it, man, we just gotta make you fancier than she is then you'll be memorable.

_{[ It's kind of cute how desperate Gintoki wants to hook Osomatsu up with someone, honestly. ]}

[Osomatsu looks excited for a moment, then realizes that becoming fancy goes against everything that he stands for, against every fiber of his being.

he reaches for more alcohol, but there is none. he drank both of his cups!]

But... I don't wanna be fancy! I love Marie, but I'm already puttin' on dresses for her. I don't wanna have to change everything.

Oh, right... being garbage is kind of your trope. Hmmm.

_{[ Gintoki strokes his chin. ]}

What about just for.. I 'unno.. a date? Reel her in that way. Like the way shitty infomercials do.

[talking about this was a mistake. he always seems to spout more information than he wants to at Gintoki. it's weird]

Maybe... I do like infomercials.

[??????]

I dunno, man. It's all too complicated an' it shouldn't be. [he slips out of the chair, landing wobbly on his feet, but he manages to stay up] I'll think about it.

Anything with a girl is complicated, buddy.

_{[ oh what, he's leaving.. ]}

Where ya going? Somewhere else to wallow?
Probably not the best to do that alone.

[girls need to stop being complicated, it's true]

I was thinkin' a-about heading back to the villa.

And being fancy?

_{[ Oh. Look at that crooked grin. He looks hopeful! ]}

Just for one night?

[Gin, look at him. he's drunk. he can barely stand up on his own two feet, and he's wiping his nose off with his sleeve]

No? I was thinkin' of going to sleep and hoping I'll have forgotten about this by morning.

_{[ Oh.. oh damn. Yeah, that is certainly a drunk muppet right there. Though, Gintoki is pretty wasted himself. ]}

Wanna come back to my place instead?

[a blink. Osomatsu wonders why. his slow brain is moving even slower than usual because of the alcohol.

at the same time, spending time with Gintoki might be better than going back to the villa and... you know. wallowing in self-pity because he's not part of Marie's most special clique. Gintoki's fun. he says ridiculous stuff but Osomatsu relates to him]

...You got food?

I have enough food.

_{[ Not a lot, but enough. ]}

It's a lot quieter at the place I'm staying at.

_{[ And he.. hates it. You could say he wants company too. ]}

Sounds perfect! Let's go!

[oh, look at that. Osomatsu is grinning. at least he's not moping anymore]

_{[ Well, mission accomplished as far as that goes. Something about seeing Osomatsu young and upset really strikes something with Gintoki despite the fact he isn't sober at all. The tread back to his place seems like it takes forever, but when they're finally at his place, Gintoki lets out a long sigh and shakes his shoulders out. ]}

Aaaaa! Yes, this is the absolute best...! Nobody here..! And no girls! Just how I like it!

_{[ Ginchan, are you okay. ]}

[no girls...]

I thought you liked girls.

[hic]

_{[ It's sarcasm, Osomatsu..!! He's obviously pretty mad about living on his own. But now that we're on the subject... ]}

Yeah, yeah, yeah.. girls are great.. with their knockers.. and unpredictable temperament..

But guys.. guys aren't bad either.

_{[ HIC. ]}

[oh, he missed the sarcasm.

but he lights up a little at what Gintoki says, swaying slightly before leaning against a wall. Osomatsu hasn’t talked to too many people about his sexuality yet, because he doesn’t have people he feels comfortable talking to about it.

but Gintoki’s different! he’s like that quirky old uncle that you bicker with but also get along with? who seems so wise while simultaneously is a jackass? who knows]

Yeah... yeah! What’s wr-wrong with liking both?!

_{[ Gintoki's time period had put him at a weird cross roads on the subject. They were just entering a new era where this kind of thing was growing less and less tolerated thanks to other influences, but really.. it was more common among his peers (especially when he was a soldier) than he might have put off. ]}

Gwahh, well, there ain't really anything wrong with it. Especially if you're bein' true to yourself. That sort of thing is kinda looked down where I come from, but..

_{[ Hmm. ]}

Doesn't mean it's wrong just 'cause other people might think it.

[being true to himself, huh? Osomatsu thinks about it]

What's your place like?

My place? My place.. aaah. It's busy. It's a big city. There's a lot-- a lot of stuff going on.. buildings.. they just keep getting bigger.. things keep on changing. Though.. those hearts of the people, they're still the same. They're still the people I want to protect. They're still my purpose. They're all idiots, but they're my purpose.

_{[ you can't ask a shounen hero what his place is like when he's drunk.. sentimental stuff like this happens. ]}

_{[ Then, out of nowhere, and very nonchalantly: ]}

Oi. Wanna kiss?

_{[ I'm sorry. ]}

[mostly he wanted to know whether or not Gintoki was a product of his enviroh wait a minute.

wait,

wait................]

[WHAT WAS THAT QUESTION JUST NOW.

WHY WOULD OSOMATSU WANT TO KISS THIS STINKY DRUNK DUDE.

HE'S YOUNG AND COOL AND]

[so incredibly lonely.

and drunk.

but mostly lonely.

and maybe a bit horny]

Why th'hell would you wanna kiss me?

[that's what he's worried about, not whether or not he should, but wondering why anyone would want to]

Edited 2020-02-06 05:42 (UTC)

Dunno. 'Cause it's fun.. and we're friends.

_{[ HIC. ]}

It doesn't have'ta mean anything. It's just I'm..

_{[ so incredibly lonely.
and drunk.
but mostly lonely.
and maybe a bit horny. ]}

You can say no, I don't really care. Just thought it could make us feel better.
