Gintoki has liked you for a while. And so did you.
You both didn’t really remember how you met, most likely a job but he had developed feelings for you a few months after he met you.
Gintoki didn’t want to lose anyone he cared about, his past plaguing him, but with you…he felt like he could let you in his heart. After all, you practically forced yourself in his heart.
You also liked Gintoki back but you both were rather nervous to confess so you stayed at the flirting stage and practically most of Edo knew about how you two flirted.
However, there was another reason as to why you guys haven’t got together yet. Gintoki, unfortunately, had a stalker that really like him. Her name was Sarutobi Ayame, commonly known as Sacchan, and she was very down bad for Gintoki and the fact she was a masochist didn’t help either.
Once she caught rumor about you guys apparently flirting, she decided to find a way to get you out of the way, after all she thought she was the one that Gintoki loved and would stay faithful to. (Wrong.)
You had supported Gintoki to his place, Yorozuya Gin-chan, while he was drunk. You kept lecturing about him drinking too much but he would brush it off or just tease you.
You gently set him on the couch and gently told him to rest, putting your hand over his as you looked at him at slightly concern.
And then a blade struck your hand, making you step back in surprise and hiss in pain. Sacchan soon came out of the ceiling, saying some things about Gin-san being hers or whatever.
You raised your brow, who the heck was this creepo?
