hijikata is supremely cool and uncool at the same time

More a teaser scene than a ficlet, here's a bit of high school AU ginhiji and hijimitsu. The final version will be ginhiji. I'll get back to you when it's finished.

The sun caught in her hair as she walked by. It lit her eyes into a pretty shade of brown. As she turned her face to the side, Toushirou slightly raised his hand, the gesture jerky with hesitation, hoping to—

A girl rushed to Okita and wrapped her arm around the taller girl’s. “Mitsuba-san!” the girl said, her voice loud enough to echo off the walls of the buildings surrounding the school’s main courtyard. “Good morning!”

“Good morning, Inoue-senpai,” Okita said, her voice soft as her upperclassmate blocked Toushirou’s view.

Toushirou took a small step to the side to get one more glimpse and accidentally bumped against someone. Unbalanced, Toushirou started to stumble, before big, warm hands caught him by the waist and pulled him back against a hard chest.

“Easy, there, mayora,” a deep, deeply annoying voice rumbled against his back. “I might start thinking you’ve fallen for me.”

“Who the hell’s falling for you, sugar freak!” Toushirou yelled, shoving the other boy away.

Sakata’s grin was all teeth and derision. “Hey, Gin-san is extremely popular. You’re not the first to be ensnared by my charms.”

“What charms?! Did you dig out some brain matter the last time you picked your nose?” Toushirou fixed his clothes and looked over where Okita had been, part of him afraid that she had seen.

She was gone.

He didn’t even get the chance to even catch her eye.

He gritted his teeth and turned his fury towards the culprit. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Sakata put his hands up. “Come on, now,” he said if he was the reasonable one, even as his eyes narrowed with ill-disguised mockery. “It wasn’t me creepily staring at Okita Mitsuba.” He nodded and sagely placed a hand on his chin. “So that’s your type? It makes sense, though.”

Toushirou could practically see Sakata winding up to hit him with his “witty” rejoinder, waiting for Toushirou to take the bait. And, god help him, he couldn’t stop himself from rising to take it. “What makes sense?”

“She’s a sweet, gentle lady,” Sakata said. “And she’s probably polite enough to look past all the… everything about you, and let you take her out of a pity date.” He shrugged and walked away.

Toushirou wanted to punch him right in his nose. “The hell do you mean, all my everything!?” he screamed at Sakata’s back.

As some of you know I have this sickness: every Hijikata I see, I cosplay. Sometimes I don't even know why... and these two bastards are my favs. I think I have every cosplay version of them. It's sick, but I have a great time every time I bring them to a Convention. Best part is I have met so many wonderful people from these fandoms thanks to my freaking cosplays lol

I hope Hakuouki and Gintama's fandoms never die so I can cosplay them forever and carry on meeting more nice people to fangirl/boy with. Well I would cosplay them even if the fandom died but... DON'T LET THEM DIE OR SEPPUKU OKAY.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERY HIJIKATA IN THE WORLD. AND THANKS. We should make a big Ochimizu Mayora Party sometime.

Instant joy 🧡🧡🧡

Had an extraordinarily happy Thursday with the family today! Should I say thanks to our mayor, Abby Binay? Oh, wondering why? Well, read on. 😂

It has been weeks when Mama and Papa took care of our documents needed for this so-called Makatizen card, issued by our local government. I did not know the logic why they pushed this thing so much at first. Zero knowledge about it, I even asked what the hell is this card for. I then knew that this useful Makatizen card is an ATM plus privelege card specifically given to Makati City citizens. Amazing cos we are the first digitized city in the Philippines for having this! Aside from being an honored government ID, people in the neighborhood can be cashless when paying when you own this. This is good for my grandparents too because they do not need to go in line whenever they will get their allowances. I then thought, ah, that is why. However, if I would be asked, I really would not like to go because I do not want to risk my salary even if it is just for a day. The real reason why I got persuaded to apply because I know it would be a good time to rest myself from work and spend some happy time with my fam. Good thing the company allowed me to. Thank you po! I finished all my tasks for the week anyway even if it is just Wednesday and I got no pending works left to be honest so, that. Yup, yay yay yay!

Expectations for this day were ruined. Began first thing, the very first thing in the morning. I thought I will have a good sleep but no, mum woke me up earlier than expected because she said we have to come first since they have a quota for every batch. Of course that is not true but unluckily, some believed on it and one of them was my mother. Huehue. We are four in the family so it took a little time to prepare. Lolo, lolas (bc they are two), and tito did not wait for us anymore and rode a cab instead. I wanted us to go together but we saw each other in the venue anyway. Hihihi. I think it was already past 8 in the morning when we left home. What the, traffic! Weird because Thursday. As if all Makatizens are going to the city hall. Haha? But actually, the staff released a schedule for every barangay when they could file the application. All dates are on weekdays but they should have thought of collecting papers on weekends too. How about the people who cannot leave their work or classes? They said they are hoping this event will be done in an organized matter yet their system was messed up. For that day, it was Comembo and Pembo. Have they did not realize Pembo has a massive population? Our barangay is already that big so combining with another one got so much hassle! Lines everywhere. As in! First line will be for the checking of documents just to be sure. This is beneficial for those who lack the requirements because they can catch up after if ever. But for the complete ones, they will proceed to the second looooong line. This is for the final verification of papers and biometrics. Senior Makatizens have their own, an express lane separated from us so theirs were faster. After all, they deserve it. But you know, the government should have just went to the grassroots because some of these oldies really had a hard time going on and off the public transpo. If only we could spend some little effort to them, 'no? Oh, facepalm for the ones who thought of this procedure!!! While about the regulars (like what most say) on the other hand, must be dealt accordingly. Ours was such a hell, eh?!? Singit and pasingit pa more! They just thought of a band-aid solution when it was almost three in the afternoon already. And, it did not make sense at all. They just stamped us for the reason of cut-off. Too selfish man, what about us? There were still singit people around. Even the door officers were favoring people as well Aba, mababagal na nga, naninigaw at nangsasagot pa, eh may kinikilingan pa. Imagine me bursting with my face so red because it was almost a whole day shift after we filed ours. Not kidding. 9AM to 6PM, ugh. I thought I would be able to rest today but I did not. I even got more tired actually. Wassup, physical and emotional strength?! There were many factors, tbh. But I just thank God, the family still made it through -- that is what matters. 💖

Of course, many things happened in between. Duh, freaking nine hours? Spent almost a day processing this shizz. Haha, huhu! Albeit what happened, I would love to remember this as an instant family day. Yup, there were a lot of moments shared to one another. I do not want to think of this day as a wasted one just because of the long waiting line, annoying neighbors, and such. So now, I will be focusing on the good part. Heehee. So... I missed this, really did, these kind of days. I love this because I got my eyes, heart, and soul opened to our family values once again. And to tell you, we have shown these traits not just to the four of us but also to the ones we interacted that day. Realized I got my righteous and friendly attitude from Papa while my making-things-happen-so-never-give-up mindset from Mama. Supposedly, sissy and I planned not to come but we did! Enjoyed so much during our in between photoshoots and random food trips. The fam's spontaneous talks have also went the long way, all straight to the heart! The hours were not actually that long having these people beside me. It was hot, yes. There are so many nakakagigil stuff (or staff hehe) around, super. Also the unfairness I kept on fighting. But... I still can say I am happy. Simple joys and little things are not so ordinary or small when created with the people you love. With Mama, Papa, and Ate? G! I love you! Thank you! This is one of the memorable moments of my life with the fam. 🙏🎉💖

Just some additional good vibes! There were free bottled water, coffee, and fans given by mayora. Also haircut, blood typing, and massage! It was so funny and good at the same time because bayanihan. Second to the nth commotion everytime a precise statement was uttered, also a yes-yes. Got to talk to people whom you really do not know because that is just it, how it goes. You cannot blame anyone because it was really insanely boring. Hahaha. And uhm, let us add the little known-unknown appreciation in the last stage of the process. I was submitting my papers and proceeding for the biometrics when suddenly, the staff made noises. I knew it was something but I did not mind it. When I sat in the designated place, some made parinig that they hope their next applicant is also a beauty. So of course, felt nice because I felt I am still pretty even if some are making me down. Hehehe. Then! The guy asked for my age. He got shocked because I do not look my age daw. They even thought I am still studying. So when they asked my job and what do I do, I just looked at him because duh, common sense that if one is a researcher, he/she researches? Hahaha! Then he asked what kind of stuff and all so I answered naman. Before leaving, he also asked if I am single. I said yes. But then he asked if I have a boyfriend, I also said yes. He then pulled the statement and said it was a joke. I know, I know. Kanina pa nanttrip. I was the first one out of us four but I was left as last. Little did I know, it just needs your fingerprints and you are done. Kalerks! Funny cos mom and sissy were so proud that their daughter and sister is a chix. Hiyawan pa hanggang palabas eh. Kakaloka! Hahahahaha! Felt a little flattered because people inside the room thinks I am qt, pretty, attractive, idk tbh but, that. It feels nice that they appreciate you but you know, I realized how much I love Dada too. All these boys might be handsome, nice, and all but I will never leave my man. No one can made me feel, think, and act better than he does. So! Ily, bb! Hihihi. Another GV was the dinner. What a good way to end the day with a good food with a good company. Heart heart, Banapple! Seems Mama is happy cos she treated us. Woohoo, sml!!!!! Since our tummies were happy, did not mind the traffic in staff house. Sissy and I just sang our lungs out. Fun, so much fun! 😂🎉
