[ what's a better distraction than paperwork! desk work! work work work! but seriously, that's what Hijikata's been doing.
and... he might have fallen asleep halfway into his work on his desk and hearing Tsurumaru BARGE IN totally jolted him awake! Thanks, Tsurumaru Alarm clock.
but nonetheless, he'll get up and walk outside of his room (before Tsurumaru might BARGE INTO his room as well). you can probably tell he just woke up? maybe. he looks kind of groggy, maybe a bit grumpy (but when does he Not look grumpy). ]
What is it...
[ it takes him a moment to think about Tsurumaru's question... ... What's today... Friday? (I'm going by the 2k16 calendar OKAY!!!!!!) He usually tries to stop by the dojo today to train. Yeah, that sounds about right. ]
Depends. Do you want something? [ because he knows by this time, every time Tsurumaru BARGES! INTO! his apartment he wants to drag Hijikata somewhere. ]
wtf... u can call me adorable but u don't have to beat me up :/
[ in hindsight, maybe tsurumaru should have considered entering his apartment far more quietly... but it's too late now!! he bumps into hijikata on the way to his room, which is super convenient and saves him the effort of going to his room, except he looks as if he'd just... woken up.
(which is weird, because he doesn't sleep after working three jobs, apparently.) hijikata should also have learned by now that the more grumpy he looks, the most cheerful that tsuru will also look? it's an indirect relation! old habits die hard, though, and in the end, maybe hijikata will never learn that.
so tsurumaru's expression is practically sparkling as he pipes up to respond, looking hijikata directly in the eye. ]
I want your time — your entire afternoon. It's not as if you have anything important to do, other than write bad poetry, so it's definitely a 'yes', right?
[ and he's not giving hijikata any room to argue!!! he can sure try, though... but kashuu gave him good receipts on hijikata's poetry and he's willing to pull all of those out if he has to. ]
I JUST DID i thought u liked that or s/t smfh i take back my punch then
[ what the heck! look, he didn't come... here... (he lives here, wait) to have his poetry insulted! he just gives Tsurumaru this icy glare from the coldest, most threatening demon you can ever possibly imagine! what murder intent!
except it's not like he's going to actually kill Tsurumaru. so he just lets out an exasperated sigh. ]
What I do in my home doesn't concern you. [ Leave his poetry alone!!!
another sigh, and Hijikata runs his hands through his bangs. looks up... then to the side. really... the entire afternoon? not just an hour, or two? he doesn't know about this.
... although, it has been a bit lonely today... so, Tsurumaru will get the tiniest agreement, under Hijikata's breath: ]
Well, I guess... [ BUT then louder: ] Is it really that important you need my entire afternoon?
I DO but every time i say that i like it... you take it back and look at me weird :(
[ tsurumaru is immune to cold, demonic glares that are full of murderous intent! mostly because gosh, it's not truly a death glare if there are no deaths being caused, and that's super disappointing... but it does concern him! it concerns him when he peeks through hijikata's windows at 3 in the morning and hijikata is still working, either on actual paperwork or on his latest bundle of lascivious poetry.
to be honest, tsurumaru had been expecting some kind of resistance, but hijikata's lonely soul is truly shining through. this makes matters easier for him, though, as he gives him a firm nod, because this definitely requires his entire afternoon... ]
Absolutely.
[ it probably really will only take an hour or two, but leaving him alone after that is just too sad. he'll try to convince him that it's worth going out for, but he can't divulge too many details!! that ruins the essence of a surprise, after all. ]
There's something that I want you to try. It's sweet, and delicious, and I'm sure you'll like it a lot — oh, and I'll pay for it, too, so don't worry! Just come with me, okay?
[ look, he's really lonely okay! but it's not as if he actually dislikes Tsurumaru. if he did, he would say no right away! look, improvement!!! the thing is that Hijikata likes to maintain relationships with friends despite being grumpy and antisocial... so he's actually trying his best here- it's kind of weird making friends with people outside of the Shinsengumi. ]
Seriously...
[ well, he doesn't dislike sweets either! he eats them... ... ... sometimes. so he's not going to say no to something sweet? besides, Tsurumaru is treating him, it'd be pretty rude to decline, right? ]
Just get me a moment to wash up so wait in the main room. [ because he accidentally fell asleep and probably some of his hair is a mess which could use a quick combing ('quick'... his hair is long!), and he could at least wash his face or something? he can't look half dead when he goes outside! ]
[ technically, he's putting all of his purchases on mikazuki's tab, but mikazuki also makes enough money to cover all of tsurumaru's impulse purchases (and then some), so it's never really a problem....
but yes.... the first half of his plan has succeeded. although naturally, even tsurumaru's pretty appearance-conscious, so he'll wait as hijikata asks, sprawling out on the couch in the living room (because 1. what are manners and 2. he knows that hijikata will take a while, anyway), waving at him with a lifted arm. ]
That's fine with me — don't take too long!
[ and, because he thinks that this is absolutely necessary: ]
I'm not going to be seen outside with someone who doesn't have their hair looking anything less than perfect, you know.
[ Hijikata just gives Tsurumaru the most disapproving glare ever as he watches him sprawl out on the couch... that glare doesn't disappear just yet because of that final ABSOLUTELY (UN)NECESSARY comment Tsurumaru decides to add... (well, until he disappears into the bathroom.)
but first he'll add his own ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY comment: ] Behave like a good dog for once and just stay put.
[ so into the bathroom he goes (also no, he's not going to get caught in the toilet mind you)! first he spends a good amount of time washing his face in the sink because that doesn't take as long- and it'll make him look less dead, of course. now... the hard part, combing all his hair.
this might take quite awhile so, choose your route Tsurumaru!!! we're otome now I guess:
→a: Tsurumaru do you want to do anything while Hijikata is behind the bathroom doors?
or
→b: Tsurumaru can behave for once and Hijikata will eventually come out of the bathroom, looking much more awake than before! but first he disappears into his room to put on a different kimono. and he'll announce as he walks out of his room: ] Okay. Done. We can go now.
ok i'll fight you as long as you kill me in the process
For once? You act as if I make a habit of not behaving. [ which is certainly true, but he can be in denial for as long as he wants. but we're going to go for Option a here, choosing heart points over dog points, despite their concurrent abandonment issues that partly fuel this seemingly laughable dog kink?
anyway, five minutes seems to be tsurumaru's boredom threshold, so once that passes, he's going to pick himself up off of the couch, languidly re-righting his limbs before he ambles over towards what he assumes is the bathroom door.
an ear pressed stealthily against the doorway tells him that hijikata is still busy within, picking up various hairclip noises and faucet noises and brushing noises and brush-setting-down noises.
but eventually, the light that tsurumaru sees from the bottom of the doorframe clicks off. and when he hears the doorknob being turned, he takes a deep breath, readying himself, and his timing is absolutely perfect, as he yells — ]
[ yeah, Tsurumaru. don't try to act innocent here!!!
usually, when Hijikata barks(haha) an order, whoever he's ordering actually LISTENS very well because they know disobeying Hijikata is one of the biggest sins on earth... but alas, Tsurumaru isn't like that and Hijikata should've known this by now, but he has too much faith, and maybe even too much ego too. oh well.
since he was preeetty occupied with cleaning up, he didn't hear Tsurumaur make his way to the door... he opens it and- boo!
yep, Hijikata jolts, and takes a step back- his eyes wide for a split second as he stares at Tsurumaru. geez! he felt his heart jump there!
it takes a few seconds for him to recompose himself... and he shoots Tsurumaru another glare (how many glares has Tsurumaru even received so far what the heck). ]
Was that really necessary? [ a VERY exasperated sigh! ] Didn't I tell you to stay?
[ GOD... that was truly priceless?? tsurumaru's already holding his sides and laughing, semi-gasping for air with every breath he exhales, and his stomach hurts so much, that he thinks he's going to die—
but he knows better than to think he'd be granted the blessing of dying... so once he manages to breathe without bursting into a pile of laughter, he wipes at his eye, looking back at hijikata; there's still this smug, shit-eating grin on his face, though, and it's not going anywhere. ]
Of course — you have to be ready for surprises at any given time. It won't do if you're caught unprepared. [ hijikata's passed his test for today, though, so maaaaaaybe he can have a break from surprises for the rest of the day... ]
Ah, about that...
[ a pause, to make it look as if he's thinking REALLY DEEPLY, but no — ]
[ when will Hijikata get a break! he almost had a heart attack! he's losing his touch... usually he's way better at defending himself against surprise attacks! he let his guard down... BUT NEXT TIME!!! HE WON'T!!! ]
Don't even think about laughing if you know what's good for you.
[ bored? seriously?
he can only stare at Tsurumaru with much disbelief... ... ... seriously... all he can do is let out another sigh with a small complaint: ]
You're such a handful. This is why dogs need training... ... [ a pause. ] Well. Wait just one more minute and don't think the same trick will work again.
[ he'll disappear into his room so he can FINALLY change into a clean kimono. gosh, Tsurumaru, he's trying his very best to spiffy up to go outside. let him live? ]
DAM....... climbs on ur table and shoves over ur tea and paperwork instead
But I'm a wonderfully pleasant handful, and pleasant things don't need training.
[ ugh.... he lies. anyway, this time, hijikata will be left pleasantly free from any tricks up tsurumaru's sleeve, because repeating a surprise too often makes it far less effective, and tsurumaru refuses to serve up anything that isn't of the highest quality.
when the door opens again, he looks on curiously— and this time, it's he who finds himself surprised, seeing hijikata in a kimono that doesn't look half-bad. (in fact, it's far from looking half-bad and a lot closer to pretty darn good, but he's not going to admit that...) ]
Oh? So you do know how to dress, after all.
[ maybe his gaze lingers for longer than necessary, but he quickly clears his throat! while he's sure that they're ready to go, he'll check. ]
[ if you haven't noticed, Hijikata has a cerrrtain taste to his clothes! either really bright colours, or really dark ones... no in between, from reds to blacks. the only thing that's similar across these fabrics are probably very elegant floral patterns because those happen to be his favourite. though, he decided to go with black today...
anyway. ] What makes you think I don't? [ well... he isn't surprised if people thought that way? considering how he use to be a peasant but does Tsurumaru even know that... or is he just being a lil ass? the real Qs.
but ah yes, finally time to figure out what ~surprise~ Tsurumaru has in store for him. ]
Yeah. Let's go. Where are we going anyway?
because you're tsun and there's a moe center to reach
[ well, that's the truth... he's just being an asshole, but his real reasoning is something along the lines of how hijikata is all work and no fun and no play (except pet play), and tsurumaru had categorized knowing how to dress fashionably underneath 'fun', but that's kind of a mouthful... ]
Didn't take you for the kind of guy that knows his way around fashion, that's all.
[ —so that's how it comes out, nice and condensed. regardless, he's impressed! good job, hijikata... you pass the fashion test.
about where they're going, though; it's something that tsurumaru's seen and experienced here, not back home, and maybe it isn't too much of a stretch to assume the same for hijikata, as well? (either way, it's delicious and wonderful on hotter days, and lately, he thinks that hijikata can use things that can make him smile, even for a little bit.)
so he clasps his hands behind his back, looking back at hijikata in curiosity. ]
Well, I guess when you have to talk to important people you learn a thing or two.
[ he does take some pride in how he looks! so he makes sure he keeps it up. not like he puts all his effort into looking great, but he at least makes sure he doesn't look gross, you know.
but anyway... he only looks at Tsurumaru for a bit, and blinks a few times. ]
Huh... [ a pause. has he? it seems vaguely familiar but there's no way he's had it. so he shakes his head. ] I don't think so...
Most people do, and I like to think that you're a part of that group, 'most people'.
[ but hijikata is not a talkative bean, tsurumaru understands. the store isn't too far, so there probably won't be any awkward silences! probably. so anyway, they're outside! the weather is great, actually — not too hot, and not too cold. but that's a strange question... ]
The ice cream store, where else? [ duh!
but he really can't help adding— ] I know you want to stop by the lingerie store, or the collar store, but not today, okay?
[ ugh... because he loves to die? but wow, he's gotten pretty used to those dog comments.
enough so, to the point where he can refute them with some ease; he gives hijikata a bright grin, before responding: ]
Ooh, it's a promise! Get me a gold-plated one, okay? It has to be authentic and super expensive, like the rest of my adornments.
[ have you seen the gold chains on his mounting... apparently, they were really expensive???? but gosh, when you're the ruling family, nothing is too expensive! ]
Gee, I don't know... poor masters can't afford a sword like me. I have to be treated properly, you know?
[ and even if they try, he'll be found and stolen away and sold to some rich people, so he doesn't know what it's like to receive something that's not The Best?
but the ice cream shop wasn't too far away, so here they are! it's a quaint place, with lots of fun flavors to choose from. it's a bit cold, though, because it is an ice cream store. he'll open the door first, but he doesn't know anything like chivalry, so he'll step through the door first, pushing it open again with his hand for hijikata.
and, once they're inside— ]
Ta-daaaa — look, this is ice cream! If you look through those glassy window things, you'll see a bunch of flavors in big tubs. They each have a little description on the window, too! But if you're still not sure, you can ask for samples.
[ look, Tsuru. a master always treats their dog properly! unless they need to be punished. Hijikata is the best dog owner here, okay. okay?
but ANYWAY! they're here! time to finally get a glimpse of the wonderful world of ice cream. so when he follows Tsurumaru inside, you can definitely see how his eyes widen in surprise at all the flavours. let's get a closer look at it! ]
There's more... Than I thought...
[ Why are there so many... there's so many??? he doesn't even know where to start so... let's ask this: ] Which one is your favourite?
that's like asking me to stop breathing :/ + this image is blurry...but the most colorful im sorry
[ listen... the best masters can keep their swords from thieving hands... can hijikata do that?
but he sees how awed hijikata is, and that, in turn, fluffs up his ego ever so greatly, until he's feeling pretty proud of himself. ] Amazing, right?
[ and at the mention of his favorite flavor, he immediately zips over to a certain part of the glass window, gesturing for hijikata to come over and look, too.
his finger is pointing towards the namecard of the flavor, and while that means that hijikata has to match namecard to tub, a flavor named 'rainbow sherbert' is... pretty self-explanatory. ]
[ he's looking at all the flavours, reading them all and taking it all in. so many!! and he finally comes to a conclusion. so, Tsurumaru has taken him to a sweets shop and is trying to get him to eat more sweets just like last time? seriously, Tsurumaru... ]
Why does everyone like sweet things... ...
[ it's not really a complaint though. but he'll look over at the rainbow sherbert tub. colourful stuff. ]
Looks kind of fancy, doesn't it? [ so many colours! how do they get it like that? he is not sure about the Art of ice cream making. what mysterious it holds... ]
... ... ... [ thinking... ... ] I guess... It's worth a shot.
*Beats u up* adorable
and... he might have fallen asleep halfway into his work on his desk and hearing Tsurumaru BARGE IN totally jolted him awake! Thanks, Tsurumaru Alarm clock.
but nonetheless, he'll get up and walk outside of his room (before Tsurumaru might BARGE INTO his room as well). you can probably tell he just woke up? maybe. he looks kind of groggy, maybe a bit grumpy (but when does he Not look grumpy). ]
What is it...
[ it takes him a moment to think about Tsurumaru's question... ... What's today... Friday? (I'm going by the 2k16 calendar OKAY!!!!!!) He usually tries to stop by the dojo today to train. Yeah, that sounds about right. ]
Depends. Do you want something? [ because he knows by this time, every time Tsurumaru BARGES! INTO! his apartment he wants to drag Hijikata somewhere. ]
wtf... u can call me adorable but u don't have to beat me up :/
(which is weird, because he doesn't sleep after working three jobs, apparently.) hijikata should also have learned by now that the more grumpy he looks, the most cheerful that tsuru will also look? it's an indirect relation! old habits die hard, though, and in the end, maybe hijikata will never learn that.
so tsurumaru's expression is practically sparkling as he pipes up to respond, looking hijikata directly in the eye. ]
I want your time — your entire afternoon. It's not as if you have anything important to do, other than write bad poetry, so it's definitely a 'yes', right?

never.... latches onto it :3c
but oh, then this'll definitely turn out to be an extra-surprising surprise! he clasps his hands together in excitement, eyes sparkling. ]
You'll definitely like it. And they even sell tubs of the stuff, so if there's a flavor that you really like, we can bring it back with us!
[ a confident nod! and he'll even help himself to the front door first, turning the knob and propping it open, then setting foot outside. ]
ugh LEAVE IT OLONE
And you think I'll like it that much?
[ well... ... they'll see. he'll follow Tsurumaru, mostly in silence because how do you small talk? what is small talk? that's not his forte.
but once they're outside. ]
Well, you can lead the way I guess. Where are we going?
ugh NO!!! i will never leave it olone

No. Unless you want to be put on a leash, we can find you a fitting one later.
[ ugh why are you doing this... ]
climbs on ur back no
enough so, to the point where he can refute them with some ease; he gives hijikata a bright grin, before responding: ]

imma fall

No. A dog should be fine with whatever present they receive from their master. Right?

[ Why are there so many... there's so many??? he doesn't even know where to start so... let's ask this: ] Which one is your favourite?
that's like asking me to stop breathing :/ + this image is blurry...but the most colorful im sorry
but he sees how awed hijikata is, and that, in turn, fluffs up his ego ever so greatly, until he's feeling pretty proud of himself. ] Amazing, right?
[ and at the mention of his favorite flavor, he immediately zips over to a certain part of the glass window, gesturing for hijikata to come over and look, too.
his finger is pointing towards the namecard of the flavor, and while that means that hijikata has to match namecard to tub, a flavor named 'rainbow sherbert' is... pretty self-explanatory. ]
This one. Wanna try it?
ugh true... well stop breathing??? :/
Why does everyone like sweet things... ...
[ it's not really a complaint though. but he'll look over at the rainbow sherbert tub. colourful stuff. ]
Looks kind of fancy, doesn't it? [ so many colours! how do they get it like that? he is not sure about the Art of ice cream making. what mysterious it holds... ]
... ... ... [ thinking... ... ] I guess... It's worth a shot.
