Especially for Clow Angel, who has written a bunch of wonderful GinOki one-shots, I finally got around to writing it! So especially for her and all other GinOki fans, I proudly present you my rambling.

Pairing: Gintoki x Okita

Rating: T for sadism

Warnings: Okita's sneakiness

Enjoy!


You have the right to get wary when someone knows the location of you bedroom

"Happy birthday!" The words flew out of their mouth's with such fluency that he just knew they had rehearsed this. Their smiling faces beamed at him, trying to infect him as well with their overly-happiness and smiley-faces. The pure happiness and faked innocence radiated from the two teenagers. The man looked up from his latest Jump issue and turned at them with the bored face he usually wore, his eyes as dull as ever before.

"It's not my birthday."

The smiling faces still beamed at him.

"But it might as well be!"

Silence followed while he stared at them for a full two seconds.

"You're just trying to get me happy so I'd take you to the festival out of pure gratitude." He turned back to his Jump, stuck a pinky up his nose and continued to read the magazine. He could just feel the happy-faces behind him disappearing and waited for Plan-B to be brought in action. The redhead and the four-eyes disappeared behind his couch and he could hear them whispering, plotting their next move in this gruesome battle of dominance. He was the one with money, or at least a bit of it, they were the ones wanting to go to the festival in town, with even less money than the first. That being said, general Sakata firmly held his own, whilst generals Shimura and Yato where discussing their plan of action.

They both looked at him, sad-faces on.

"No."

"Okay," Kagura grabbed his collar and held back her fist, "I beat him out cold and you steal his wallet, Shinapchi!" She shook her boss a bit, hard, and Shinpachi tried to restrain her, telling her that they didn't need such dramatic measures. When Yato had finally let go, general Sakata tried to catch his breath and proposed a truce.

"All you had to do was ask instead of using dirty tricks." He straightened his shirt a bit to look at least a bit decent and recovered his Jump from where it had landed on the ground. 'Page 55.' He took note of the page he was reading at and closed the magazine with a sound.

He scratched his silver perm out of habit and muttered a 'fine'. They both almost glomped him and, after picking his wallet out of his yukata while they were hugging him, they raced out the door.

'Damn kids.' He couldn't help but smile, slightly disturbed how exactly they had learned to pick-pocket.


"Don't spend too much!" He screamed at them but alas, they were already out of earshot. He sighed and followed without a word, looking around the festival. It was already dark but whole of Edo was gathered here. A festival in honour of the Shogun, no less. He hoped there would be 90% less explosions and Shinsengumi.

"Ah, Danna, what brings you here?"

Okay, 80% less Shinsengumi.

The sadist was sitting on a bench, dressed in uniform. Without a doubt the whole Shinsengumi was crawling around to look out for terrorists and the like.

"Aren't you supposed to be protected the leader off this fallen-apart country?"

Okita looked at him with a strange look but nodded anyway.

"Then what are you doing here? You're not giving off that usual skipping-out-of-work vibe you usually do." A slight wind blew his hair around and he had trouble seeing through the silver curls falling over his eyes.

"Guess not."

He wasn't even denying it, making it seem even stranger. The young man looked strange, almost in conflict with himself. The usual bored-looking face had been replaced by something Gintoki couldn't quite describe. The younger man didn't look at him when he sat down on his right.

"You?"

He rolled his eyes. "Kids."

"China and Four-eyes."

"Who else?"

"The little baby with the silver perm?" Normal Okita was back and wasn't missing a beat. He sighed and let his head hang. The young man had come to become one of his dear friends, even if neither of them would admit it. It was as if they just knew, without anyone having to tell them. They didn't need anyone to tell them, because they already knew. Okita had grown to admire the man from the minute he had beaten Hijikata and to the last second where he had helped them with the betrayal of Itou. Sakata Gintoki was a strange man indeed, he never explained any of his actions and his skills surpassed all those in the Shinsengumi.

"Ah, I didn't even want to come here." Okita stopped his train of thought at the remark before it could go on further. Gintoki folded his arms behind his head and looked at the dark night sky. "Well, I could always stay for the fireworks, I guess…"

Okita watched the man and a strange smile appeared on his face, a smile which indicated amusement.

"What?" Gintoki had noticed the unusual look on the younger man's face and raised one of his eyebrows, lazily lying his head at the left to look at the Shinsengumi captain.

"You should stay, Danna, you might get to see something interesting." He stood up, his brown hair swaying around at the movement, and walked away.

"What are you…" The man was already gone and Gintoki scowled.

'Why doesn't anyone listen to what I have to say?'

"Gin-chan! Look!" Kagura looked up at the fireworks and pointed every now and then, yelling at him to look. It rained colours and the whole sky was filled with flowers. Both kids had seen fireworks before, but still, as every little one spat apart, they couldn't help but gasp and point at it. They moved around in the crowd to get a better view. Gintoki watched them but didn't follow. They were going to sleep over at Tae's tonight, giving him the chance to have a relaxing night once. Shinpachi probably wouldn't sleep with all the girls' talking but he knew the boy didn't mind spending time with those two.

The crowd gasped again as a flower exploded in the black night sky, before falling down to earth again in small drops. The fireworks continued and Gintoki felt a slight tap on his shoulder. He turned around, expecting either Kagura, Shinpachi or Tae, but got the previous encountered Shinsengumi captain.

It was hard to see his face but one of the fireworks made it possible to see the same look of amusement on his face.

"What?"

The crowd gasped again when another one of the fireworks was shot in the sky.

"Happy birthday." Without waiting for a reply, Okita pulled 'Danna' down and kissed him fully on the lips. Gintoki couldn't quite comprehend what was going on and the world seemed to stop for a few seconds. The fireworks were still going on, and he was casually kissing someone along the way. Okita left his lips and took a breath, slightly smiling that evil smile of his. Gintoki had overcome his initial shock and a small smile spread on his face as well.

The grand finale was coming up and the whole festival was temporarily led, making it able for both to see the other's face. They didn't need to tell each other, they already knew. No one had to tell them, because even without words, they already knew.

Okita left and Gintoki turned back to the fireworks, just in time to see the last one explode.

'That sure was interesting.' He touched his lips, the same feeling from a few seconds overcoming him again.

The kids had found Tae and had come to say goodbye to him. Kagura was still as energetic as ever and was chatting with 'Anego'.

"Are you alright, Gin-san?" Tae asked afet seeing his troubled look.

He smiled.

"Couldn't have been better."


When he arrived at the Yorozuya, no longer accompanied by his noisy subordinates, he wasn't too surprised to find his former 'assaulter' waiting for him inside. He dropped his boots at the entrance, ignoring the other pair, and stepped inside.

The young man got up from the couch, walked over and pulled Gintoki down in the same manner as he had done previously. Gintoki responded fiercely, trying to keep himself from moaning at the intense contact. He felt Okita's hands wander his shirt before starting to unbutton it and then he already started to unbuckle his belt.

"Bedroom's this way, right?" Okita asked between kisses, leading them in the direction of the main bedroom. Gintoki's shirt had already been discarded, the belt had already hit the floor and the Shinsengumi captain lost his coat along the way.

"Correct, although I doubt I want to know how you found that one out." He broke the string of kisses to open the door. Okita rolled his eyes, they'd have plenty of time, but he doubted it would be enough to tell the whole story.

"Well…"


I know it's been ages since I updated! I've had it extremely busy and as said before, I am writing a longer HijiGin fic. I was going to finish my other one-shot first, but this I couldn't get off my mind. It's rather short in comparison to my other fics but I might change this into a collection of one-shots, since I'm really hooked on GinOki right now. Why are there so little fanfics about these two, they're hilarious! Well, this was not really humour-ish but yeah, I needed to get it out.

I hope you enjoyed and please review!
