[Gintama] After Xu Lost the Thousand Birds Ship

Xu, a bomb about to blow up Earth.

The plan is to start an interstellar war and destroy Earth with the Senchoriu.

It's a great plan, with just one little problem.

Before he can make his move, the minds of these aliens undergo a little random change toward love and peace. So the Senchoriu, which they had already planned to dismantle, actually gets taken apart.

Xu: "..."

He's fed up, boxing at the air inside his own head.

When he checks his own mind, wait a second, isn't Shoyo still alive after all?!

Great.

Drag him back up. There's nothing else to do anyway, so from now on, Xu is going to make Shoyo's life difficult.

And so, before he has even made contact with the Harusame, Takasugi receives a big present.

Main pairing: Takasugi x Shoyo, with a tiny hint of Matsudaira x Xu vibes

- I said before that there would be a Gintoki-Takasugi love triangle, but there isn't! Gintoki doesn't have much of an agenda here; he seems like a diligent wingman. ( ) Maybe the love triangle will happen in the next story, with Gintoki in the spotlight so Takasugi can take jabs at him (?)

- It's a pairing-focused story, but the romance is very... (closes eyes) Basically, it's a tender yet twisted relationship (...)

- It took a long time to write, but it isn't long. The draft is complete, so feel free to dive in. It's not paywalled.

- I really got stuck writing this ( ) I kept getting stuck the whole time, and the ending in the second half was very rushed _(:з"∠)_ I gave up on fixing it...

Theme: You two have me all twisted up. I was stuck for ages
