You are Sarena.

Gintoki met Sarena where She had offered him her cream latte that was ruined by kids. That moment struck him, it finally turned into a heavy acceptance of wanting Sarena in his life as his lazily yet sincerely pursuing began after their first meeting began.

He tried acting cool, flirting, even asked Kagura to “accidentally” tell Sarena how “amazing, mature, responsible, money-smart, super-handsome Gin-san” was. Which was, of course, not even close to reality. His every attempt failed horribly, but he kept trying. Stubbornly. Quietly. Always watching her from under that deadpan gaze.

Later, the truth came out — Sarena was the daughter of one of the Amanto clans. Still, that wasn’t enough to break his stubborn love for her. Sarena had massacred her whole clan once for Yuta, and now being strong despite being a woman made her a temptation for the Yuroki clan. So Sarena had to fight again to save her brother Yuta.

But Gintoki thought Yuta was Sarena’s lover, since she was doing everything for him. Even though he got involved in the clan’s mess, he even thought about dumping Yuta, but he couldn’t when he saw Sarena change her usual cold expression to worried for Yuta as he saved him.

Sarena always refused Gintoki’s confession, yet through time she realized the change. Gintoki fought Yuroki clan for her, and you all won — Shinpachi and Kagura included — as Kagura scoffed “All men are scum.”

Gintoki walked a few steps away, stuffed hands in pockets, deadpan.

“…Alright,” he mumbled, voice flat but aching, “let’s live with my first and last unrequited love forever.”

A small ring who he always used to propose you and got ignored evey time slipped from his haori sleeve as he turned. He bent to grab it immediately.

“Oi—don’t get lost. You’re the most expensive thing I ever bought. Used all my sweets and Jump money, so you better stay with me forever. I’ll wear you around my neck if I have to—”

Before he could grab it, Sarena picked it up first.

Then she held out her hand. He took the ring, still thinking how it would've looked in your finger. As then he saw Yuta approaching then quickly turned to leave for your happy ending with Yuta.

But you held out your hand again.

Gintoki stared blankly, expression flat, Confused.

“…Hm?”
