[ All that explanation gets is a slow blink or two in return. Why sorry? Okay then. ]
Yeah, they're my favourites.
[ So he's taking that, and then makes for the kitchen with slow, heavy steps that almost drag across the floor. Since Aikuro's apparently essentially claiming this place as his, he'll just grab a spoon and sit right down without telling Aikuro anything. ]
[ Aikuro follows after him, already beginning to talk. ]
I'm not sure of all of the details, but I heard something happened between you and Milly. And it probably isn't much of my business but I assure you-- [ firmly: ] That woman is completely my business.
[ he goes on. ] I like you, Sakata-san. I do. But I don't like you when you upset somebody who is important to me. Does.. that all make sense?
[ At the second repeated phrase, Gintoki pauses with a spoonful halfway to his mouth and stares. And then, he slowly lowers the spoon, with a level gaze. ]
That's twice you've said the exact same thing the gorilla did, you know.
..Oh. You mean Kondo. [ usually Aikuro will also call him a gorilla, but he's going to be nice this time. Kondo already said paid him a visit, it sounds like, and it makes sense because both he and Aikuro have already told each other how much they both care for Milly.
Wait.. if Kondo paid him a visit.. does that mean--? His brows lift. ]
... Is Kondo also the reason why your face is swollen?
[ That's... wow. That's attractive. Kondo is attractive. But at the same time he feels bad for Gintoki. Aikuro releases an exasperated sigh then shakes his head, smiling lightly. ]
Ah, I see. I'll.. pass that on, definitely. It sounds like.. you'll be hearing from both of us. [ Then, he grins again, this time at Gintoki. ]
We sort of come in a unit-- so don't do anything to hurt our girl again, got it?
Of course you haven't. You probably haven't heard anything about Kondo being mine either. [ back it up, hoe. Who is whose anymore? The Real Question. Aikuro places his hands on his knees and stands to his feet, brushing some hair behind his ear. ]
But it seems he got the message across-- I think you're smart enough to listen once without having somebody repeat things.

So you can tell him he should bring parfaits instead of punching people too.
[ Spoonful of parfait, go. ]

And this keeps getting weirder. Unit? Our girl?
Gintoki lowers the spoon slowly, chewing at just about the same pace. What is this? ]
I never heard anything about her being "yours."

... That's it? You're done?
[ Bringing a parfait, talking for a minute and then just leaving? Not that he's complaining. ]
no subject
I think you understand we both are serious about her-- don't you?
no subject
[ This frown ... kind of wants to know. Enough to really push? Probably not. But. ]
no subject
[ right. Gintoki is pretty inept when it comes to relationships. Aikuro got that vibe from him.
????? ]
How isn't any of your business. To be fair, how is a mystery even to me, and only time will tell exactly how.
Why should be obvious. [ a beat. ]
She's an amazing woman, and we both know that.
Anybody with eyes can see that.
no subject
[ He huffs, shakes his head and turns his focus back to the parfait. ]
Well, whatever.
I'm not ditching her completely, just so you know. Kondo seemed to think I was doing that.
[ A couple of years earlier he would have. But he's a different man now. ]
no subject
[ Kondo really covered all of the bases, didn't he? ]
Aah..
[ awkward. ]
How's the parfait?
[ REALLY. ]
no subject
It's a parfait. It's good.
[ If there is a parfait that isn't ... He won't believe it. ]
