So you do like it? Hmm... What's that? I couldn't hear you.

[ but naturally, he does notice how evident the embarrassment is. Tsurumaru's cheek turning a darker shade is very obvious, and Hijikata only responds by placing his hand on his cheek - swiping a thumb against it. ]

Is it because of my voice - do you like it when I talk to you like this?

[ he only responds to that wry smile with a smirk. ]

So you are expecting something? You're so tense, it makes me want to tease you. [ he pulls Tsurumaru closer to give him a kiss on the cheek. Tsurumaru can probably feel Hijikata's breath when he follows that kiss with a small chuckle. ]

You get embarrassed too easily.

[ you can try to hide it with sarcasm, Tsuru... but it's all over your face. ]
