Gintama: It Is Love!

Like You (Okita Sougo)

"...Ah."  Sougo smirked when he saw (Y/N) crouching down on the ground in the courtyard. He came to Kondo's dojo for another lesson as usual but Kondo wasn't there yet.

—In addition, while he was bored he found something interesting to mess with.

(Y/N).

Silently, and without making any noise Sougo crept up behind her. "—Boo!" He yelled in her ear startling the poor girl.

"KYAA—....! Hey! Sou-kun, you again!!" (Y/N) frowned, when she saw the amused expression on Sougo's face as he laughed at her.

"Well...On the way to Kondo-san's dojo room, I ran into an idiot. Like it was practically telling me to mess with them." Sougo shrugged, while (Y/N) tilted her head.

"You did? Where?" She asked.

"Standing right in front of me."

"HEY!! YOU'RE CALLING ME AN IDIOT AREN'T YOU?! You're so mean!!"

Sougo smiled lowly at (Y/N), while (Y/N) was glaring at him with all her might.

But this...small exchange— meant more to Sougo than it did to (Y/N).

It was the day he fell in love~~~~~

"Toshi!!!"

Hijikata sighed, there she was again at his door.

A huge pout on her lips and her teary eyes.

"What is it now?...." he groans, placing his brush down as (Y/N) rushed towards Hijikata.

"Sou-kun's the devil's spawn! I know he is!! He definitely is!!" She angrily rants as she held back the tears in her eyes. Deny it as she might, she was a crybaby who easily cried whenever she was angry— it was also one of the many reasons Sougo picks on her.

"What?" Hijikata grumbled, scratching his head. "You realized that just now? I knew it from day one."

"I can't believe him— seriously!!"

"So? What did he do to you now?" Hijikata asked lazily, while (Y/N) puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

"He kept coming by the infirmary, he just stands at the doorway and stares at me silently before he goes— 'Wow, I don't know how you could make yourself even more ugly today' and then he smirks and walks off like nothing happened!" (Y/N) yells in disbelief as she threw her hands up.

"He's done that 7 times this morning alone!!" She ran her hands through her (H/C) hair with a frustrated look in her eyes.

"So....you hate him?" Hijikata asks while casually lighting up a cigarette. (Y/N) paused and stared at him with her mouth open.

"No....I don't?"

"Then, what's your problem?"

"I just— want him to say some nice things! Like, oh your hair is pretty today! Or you look cute today! Not— pushing my buttons like that every single morning!"

"(Y/N), get a grip on reality. This is Sougo."

"...You're right, that was too much to ask for." She nodded and looked down dejectedly while Hijikata sighed and glanced at her.

"Well....Why do want him to compliment you?" Hijikata raised an eyebrow—  (Y/N) had been doing this for years. Complaining and ranting out her feelings for Sougo to him, so in light of all the years that she'd been doing that Hijikata reached a conclusion.
