No...

[ nothing's wrong... it's just... weird!? hey, Hijikata's a pretty truthful guy, and he's pretty true to himself. usually when he's "forward" with whatever it is, he's pretty aware of it - and he does it on his own free will too.

it's not that he's embarrassed he's has just been caught off guard, for sure! that's it...

so now that Tsurumaru is kind of teasing him, it's kind of... he doesn't even know how to put it. if anything, it just makes him extremely huffy because he doesn't have control of the situation.

now he realizes; he's caught off guard, rendering himself speechless. he's just here, holding his hand and just saying nothing? Tsurumaru is teasing him too. it's not really anything cool or suave at all!?

Hijikata's losing his cool points. that's what matters. and he's going to fix it? ]

It's not that... [ he only reaches up with his other hand to grab Tsurumaru's chin to bring his face closer. closer, and closer... enough so that only Tsurumaru can hear Hijikata's faiiint whisper (not that there's... anyone else to hear it, unless you count the dog): ]

Do you dislike it? It can be something else entirely if that's what you want... You just have to say it.
