Standard disclaimer goes here.

Another GinTae fic. I'm beginning to have this plan of decorating this GinTae fandom with flowers. :)

If she's going to leave with a man she truly loves, whether that man is a perennially broke and lazy or a gorilla-like stalker or a crazy mayo lover or a sadist or a madao or a guy with hemorrhoids, as long as big sister is happy, that's okay. I'm prepared to cook sekihan for the rest of my life.

Vein ticked. There was something wrong with this picture, Shinpachi thought while he together with Gintoki, Kagura and his sister ate Bargain Dash.

Every time Gintoki was around her, Tae just seemed to bloom like a flower in springtime. She smiled cutely. She laughed more daintily. She even moved with more grace. Her actions were infuriating him. He wanted to stop this idiocy of hers regardless of the painful consequences but the problem was she wasn't even conscious of what she was doing.

His ticking vein grew larger and more prominent when his gaze landed on his boss. Those stolen or surreptitious glances, That stupid look he got when Tae was around and that even more stupid boyish laughter. God! He was torn between nosehooking the guy or repeatedly slamming his head into the wall.

Another flourish hand movement on her part and an indulgent smile from him and Shinpachi had enough. He none-too-gently slammed his palms against the table and stood up, causing three pairs of eyes to looked at him questioningly.

He adjusted his eyeglass before walking away.

"Shin-chan?!" a concerned Tae called after him.

"Grocery store."

"But we just went there this morning."

"Sekihan. I'll go buy ingredients for sekihan," he said in a clipped tone before he disappeared.

The three were confused.

Tae sighed. "I never know what's going on in that head of his."

"Really," Gintoki agreed. "Sekihan? What for? Who's getting married here?"

"Eh? Shinpachi is getting married?"

When no answer came, Kagura shrugged her shoulders and grabbed Shinpachi's barely consumed Bargain dash before Gintoki would.. "Whatever as long there is food, yes?

Because Shinpachi's imagination always go overdrive when it comes to his sister and her love life. :)
