[ HE HIT HIM BECAUSE HE CAN! hit him back, he dares you. with all of his do-m intentions.
but being called innocent and simple... it's almost like an insult! it's only because hijikata is so filthy that it ends up making him look innocent in comparison?
anyway, his hands fly up to his cheeks, covering them while coming up with an excuse on the spot. ]
That's... because I was working so hard, okay? It's not my fault you don't know how to sit up while you're working! Your back's all stiff, too.
[ AAAA WHY IS HIJIKATA LIKE THIS... so he's just going to slowly bury his face in his hands and make this tiny, whining noise until hijikata's done being mean!!!!
but he uncovers his face soon enough — if only to continue with the task at hand, working towards the middle of his back as he speaks. ]
Then, I'll stay with you whenever you're doing paperwork. And if you start slouching, I'll...
[ . . . ]
— push your tea over onto your papers without warning.
[ well, he certainly didn't waste any time in saying no, did he!! but tsuru won't be stopped so easily... if anything, hijikata's refusal only makes him even more obnoxious and stubborn, so he gets up —
and promptly sits down on the center of hijikata's back. ah, did he hear something crack? ]
Will you allow it now?
[ LUCKILY FOR HIJI, he isn't wearing his jacket that weighs twenty pounds on its own... and without it, he's actually kind of light? ]
[ Hijikata definitely makes a weird noise because he LITERALLY DID NOT EXPECT TSURU TO SIT ON HIM???
although, it kind of felt... relieving afterwards! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'LL FORGIVE TSURU FOR DOING THIS. Hijikata definitely has a grumpy glare on his face (but he can't really glare at Tsurumaru right now). ]
No, I won't.
[ if Hijikata tries to get up will Tsurumaru fall over? well, he's going to try. ]
[ HE'S A CHILD... what did you expect, for him to deal with this in a logical and mature way? that crack to hijikata's back also should be pretty refreshing for him! but tsuru doesn't have time to mention his kind intentions before he's ever-so-gratefully toppled from his comfortable seat.
he lands to the side in a heap, but quickly collects himself back to a sitting position, with a petulant frown on his face.
since sitting on him didn't work (he totally expected it to work, tbh?), he decides to explain himself in a more... direct way. ]
I'm just worried, you know — you spend all day working, and then you come home and still work. If you can't take care of yourself while you overwork yourself, then...
[ he goes silent, but it's a thoughtful silence, meant for hijikata to fill in. ]
[ ugh, Hijikata was enjoying being massaged and sort of pampered... and yet, Tsuru had to sit on him! but once again, Hijikata's weak to being massaged? it feels so good? this is why he misses his Harada.
he'll just lift his arms to stretch quickly, but then he runs a hand through his bang after Tsurumaru falls silent. ]
Then what?
[ ??? ]
This is no different than the schedule I worked with at home.
[ he worked... maybe trained some soldiers... practiced himself... sometimes go on a patrol... keep an eye on his soldiers... come home after a long day to his room... more paperwork...
... you get the point. ]
It's nothing to me, you know.
he's already old and tired... with his little dog cane
[ but you didn't live for very long is what he wants to say, but no.... there won't be any spoiling of history today!
instead, tsuru makes an expression that seems disappointed and sad all at once, still unpleased with hijikata's answer. sure, all that working might've been fine for him back then, but this place is different — and therefore, does he really need to stick to that same, rigorous work routine? ]
That's why I wanted you to go somewhere with me today. I mean... it's not like I can do your work with you, right?
[ since directly admitting something like, "i want to spend more time with you" is really cheesy, right?? there's no way he's doing that??? ]
he hasn't planned to go outside except only to work. with more people in the house he has to make sure everything is in tip top shape? also, it's noisy, so he'd rather stay in his room.
yet -- ]
We haven't gone anywhere in awhile... So, you're probably right...
We can leave her here. [ well, if you insist on leaving it up to him... his answer is going to be immediate. imagine if hijikata spent more time patting her than him? just imagine!!
but he pauses, since at first, he doesn't seem to know what hijikata means; the flow of time is different for a sword than it is for a person, and it's not that he hasn't enjoyed the time he's spent so far; it's just never really occurred to him to... notice something like that. after all, what feels like months to humans are years for swords.
yet, the fact that tsuru also manages to figure it out quickly is pretty impressive — and when he does, there's this embarrassed smile, because just what the heck. ]
It has. [ and then he glances up at hijikata, a little fondly. ] You know what they say: time goes by when you're happier — or something like that.
We can celebrate in two days, right? But there's no fun in celebrating for one day, so let's celebrate today, tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow. Is that okay with you?
[ considering how he won't take no for an answer, well! ]
I'm not even that heavy. [ he's really all just skin and bones and spirit stuff! but maybe hijikata's old man back is just too weak.
but... go outside? why would he need to go outside? he doesn't understand! what is there to hide! and when he continues, there's a curious smirk on his expression. ]
There's nothing that I haven't seen before, you know.
[ a beat. ]
But, if you insist.
[ with a laugh, he'll head outside, gently shutting the room door behind him. as for him, he's already dressed for the day with the intention of dragging hijikata out whether he likes it or not; so once hijikata's finished changing, they can go. ]
[ Hijikata just shoots him a glare that just kind of reads 'don't give me sass'. ]
Just go already.
[ JUST!!! LOOK!!! Tsurumaru will understand later...
because ugh, he doesn't know how to feel about the clothes Kashuu got him still. they're nice. . . but. . . well, he'll hesitantly put on a clean, cut button down shirt and (gasp) pants.
BUT OKAY... he'll finally exit his room to rejoin Tsurumaru. ]
[ naturally, he's going to spend the first few seconds staring. just staring at him, but mostly at his legs? then at his arms? then back at his legs? in a really impressed, noticeable way that may or may not indirectly feed hijikata's ego.
except it takes him a while to realize that he is staring so obviously in the first place; and oh... OH.... OH NO... THAT'S EMBARRASSING... so he quickly moves his hand across the lower half of his face, because he's sure that all of his embarrassment is showing. ]
That's — [ so nice to look at... still, he wants to look again? so he looks again, and AAAH MISTAKE.JPG WHY DOES HIJI LOOK SO NICE his heart can't take it??
anyway! he takes a deep, breath, trying to look more coherent. he'll also start heading towards the door, as if that's his way of saying that he's ready to leave! ]
If this was your way of surprising me, then you've succeeded. I didn't know you could look so... nice, wearing something like that.
[ it's because Kashuu has taught him the way of "suffer for fashion" honestly.
it's not too bad now, he's gotten a bit use to it. western fashion is more... how do you explain it? everything is more form fitting, for some reason, but it's not like the clothes constrain any of his movements. ]
Well, I needed new clothes anyway.
[ yeah, boost his ego Tsuru... boost it!!!
time to get out of the apartment though. he'll open the door -- ]
Are you ready to go? [ wAIT A MINUTE... ] Were you staring?
[ he's onto u ]
grubby little hands full of dreams and aspirations
Maybe. [ listen, tsuru's already boosted his ego enough!! but he also has another task in mind, so he wastes no time in getting to it. ]
And now, I'm going to help myself.
[ before hijikata has time to ask him what he means, he's going to demonstrate — by coming up behind him, gently placing his hands on the fine assets in pants that he sees before him... and then gives them a light squeeze.
. . . . . .
immediately, he's running through the door and taking off in the direction of the park, because he values his final seconds of life and hijikata's probably going to go after him, anyway.
he doesn't regret it, though. ugh, what nice, firm assets. ]

ugh shinpachi? sano? same difference?
AAAAAAA WHY DID HE HAVE TO HIT HIM THIS ISN'T FAIR! ]
Hey now, what was that for? You're far too innocent and simple if you react to such things like that.
[ gosh... he was enjoying his massage too... he tilts his head to the side to get a better look. ]
Your cheeks are red too.
10 bux shinpachi and sano are just the same entity

[ he's not lying about that last part, though. ]
ah yes...nagarada sanopachi...
[ A TEASING SMIRK... HE'S ONTO YOU TSURU...
but he's going to turn his head back to its normal position because looking up at someone while lying down is uncomfortable. ]
Sometimes I just forget about posture when I'm too focused, it happens a lot... ... [ ugh, excuses. ]
i was about to say "who the heck" but then i REALIZED
but he uncovers his face soon enough — if only to continue with the task at hand, working towards the middle of his back as he speaks. ]

— push your tea over onto your papers without warning.
[ AH YES, BRILLIANT. ]
UGH IM ALUGHING SO HARD
The Threat.
. . . . . .
then, suddenly - while turning his head even more away from Tsuru -... ]
No. I won't allow it.
HECK OFF NERD!!!
and promptly sits down on the center of hijikata's back. ah, did he hear something crack? ]
Will you allow it now?

No, I won't.
[ if Hijikata tries to get up will Tsurumaru fall over? well, he's going to try. ]
BECAUSE now you have to give your gumis nametags

We haven't gone anywhere in awhile... So, you're probably right...
[ THAT'S A YES. ]
um hakodate is banned
but it's also true that they haven't gone anywhere in a while — especially with how crowded their apartment's become.
anyway, tsuru's quick to take that as a yes, brightening up immediately; it's not everyday that hijikata agrees with what he wants, after all. ]
Is there anywhere you want to go?
YOU CNAT BAN HISTORY
Let's see...
[ he's definitely never been a person that went on casual dates. so picking out a place to go... is a tough thing to choose for him.
but! he'll try his best. ]
The... Park?
(P VOICE) YES I CAN
The park's fine with me.
[ he likes that suggestion! in fact, it's kind of cute — it's not what would come to his mind first, if chosen to pick a date spot, but he likes it!!
also — ] Are we taking Ume along, or will it be just us?
AAAA YOU CAN IGNORE HISTORY IF IT HURTS UR FEELINGS
Hm...
Depends, I guess.
[ a shrug. ] Do you want it to be just us?
[ a pause. . . ]
Now that I think about it, it's almost been a month - hasn't it...
KEEP IGNORING THAT HISTORY FOR THE FEELINGS okita's blade was fixed and perfectly functional

I WANT THIS TO STOP
he's still incredibly homesick when he thinks about his own happiness. after a few moments of silence he just nods though, with a thin smile. ]
I suppose you're right.
Well, if I say no you'll probably sit on me again so...
[ HE DOESN'T WANT THAT! ]
Go wait outside then I need to change my clothes. Then we can go.
(post voice) are you kidding me? hijikata died in 1869
but... go outside? why would he need to go outside? he doesn't understand! what is there to hide! and when he continues, there's a curious smirk on his expression. ]
