[ Then it's... probably fine? It's Gintoki's comfort he had been worried about, and if he is okay with this, then it would in fact be selfish to deprive him of much needed touch energy. So it's fine. ]
[ Look at that, maybe he isn't going to banish himself out of Gintoki's room! Retcon that comment from the Yule gifts thread. He might end up not initiating spooning again until Gintoki does or he starts really missing it, though. (That probably won't take longer than a couple weeks--) ]
[ But now he has a new problem. Gintoki is clearly growing suspicious, and uh. How does one act normal? Or... not normal that is his normal??? ]
[ The right thing to do here, as a friend, would probably be to ask more. Something is clearly up with Zura, something he for some reason doesn't feel like sharing with Gintoki but doesn't seem like some kind of scheme or plan that would be worth worrying about.
Which makes it worrying in a wholly different way.
So the right thing would be to ask. But Gintoki is so damn tired, and he groans with frustration as he pinches the bridge of his nose. And then he closes his eyes while he thinks about what to do. ]
[ Katsura takes it as a sign that Gintoki is done with the conversation. He finally wiggles closer, until he's near the edge of his futon, but doesn't cross over into Gintoki's territory as usual. Still, the unnatural chasm between them from earlier has shrunken significantly. Maybe things are okay after all?.. ]
[ He also seems to have succumbed to his need for beauty sleep, because his breaths slow down in just a few moments. ]
[ ...his eyes, however, are still staring into Gintoki's soul, of course. ]
Gintoki's not turning around to see those eyes staring at him (not like he needs to to know they're probably there). He's also going the fuck to sleep. ]

He looks over his shoulder again, as though looking at Zura's face in this darkness could hope to clear anything up. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't.
And he grunts with annoyance and rolls onto his back. ]
No, obviously. Why are you being weird?

[ Right.
Never mind, then.
