[ of course this is what he wants, why would you even ask? hijikata has so many buttons that can be pressed, that before he dies, tsurumaru wants to try to press them all, to make him scowl in as many different ways as he can.
as if he'd been told something pleasant, tsurumaru's expression brightens — because to him, it is pleasant, even if he's taking some liberties in interpretation, and his interpretation is probably not what hijikata meant at all. ]
Really? So you'll hold on until you die?
[ even if it's for such a simple, tiny reason, he likes hearing that he won't be let go of. but tsurumaru's staring at him vibrantly, expectantly, despite how he knows that hijikata will probably say no. ]
[ why is... this guy so difficult. Hijikata asks this everyday? he can only dream having the upper hand.
of course, at the defeat of Tsurumaru not agreeing, he lets go. except, a quick flick is delivered to Tsurumaru's forehead. Hijikata only huffs in response. ]
I don't think I want to die like that.
[ dying while holding someone's hands... sounds like something Harada would say, honestly. ] I'll reiterate though. Don't do that ever again - or I'll just tie your hands together instead.
[ which means he won't have to do the holding! perfect... ]
[ he winces, reaching up to shield himself, and it stings!!! it stings a lot!!!! so he sits there for a while, emitting a tiny whining noise, like he's going to cry but he doesn't cry.
why won't hijikata do the holding, why is he like this?? either way, he bounces back quickly enough to back another retort, sticking his tongue out first. ]
Then I'll just do it again, but with my feet. I mean, I wouldn't want my face held like that, so is tying my hands together really the best option you can come up with?
leans across desk seductively kick my ass with that leg
