Characters: Okita Sougo & Hijikata Toshirou
Content: Well, someone's making up for forgetting someone's birthday
Setting: At the Victoria II's deck.
Time: At the appointed hour that Hijikata said
here/
Warnings: Sougo's butthurt. Beware Hijikata-san.
Cheeky. He thought. Suddenly coming out of his silence only to tap him on meeting him on the deck an hour later with a damn promise of getting him a gift. Did Hijikata honestly think that he was a kid that needed to be brought around shopping for his toy? Obviously, the man still thought less of him. The boy who never seemed to grow.
It was irritating, if Sougo could be honest about it. But even he had promises to keep with Kondou. And it involved getting along, as the gorilla said.
Another year, Sougo thought. And like every other year, the man forgot to keep track of things. Always late when it came to the party. Always living in his own world rather than in the world.
Hence, Sougo arrived at the deck ten minutes before the said appointed time, leaning back on one of the walls near the exit of the ship. He would not be late for this, if only because he would never miss out on abusing this obligatory kindness. Funny, he respected Hijikata before. But it seemed the man had little knack for his own family of sorts.
