[tsukky]

I've bought a house in Amegahara and I guess you'd call it a bit of a fixer-upper.

I'm doing what I can with it but there's still a lot of work to do. [ And she's kind of winging the shit out of it because what is asking for help...

BUT, HOLD THE PHONE: ]

It has a big garden which is... kind of overgrown.

Anyway, I'm no gardener so I'd appreciate help from someone who knows what they're doing with this stuff. Happy to pay.

Also, anyone who knows anything about taking care of koi.

[ She huffs a little at that - obviously. ]

No meal's gonna make me act like some desperate needy woman.

[ If she knew that he felt in any way nervous about it then she would make it pretty clear to him that she hasn't got much of a high threshold when it comes to food. Tsukuyo might be good at quite a few things but cooking generally isn't one of them - as she's told Hinowa about a thousand times and Hinowa in return likes to tease her about it.

Basically, yeah, as long as it's not burnt to a crisp, or worse; slathered in mayo like some people are wont to do around here - it'll be fine. ]

D'ya need any help?

...I'm offerin' because I should but, for yer own sake, ya should really say no.

[naturallywavy]

Yeah? I didn't say it would. Just might weaken your knees a little. That's all.

_{[ He knows Tsukuyo a lot better than that, but he does want to impress her with this.
He starts getting out the ingredients out once he has the cookware he needs and raises his eyebrows at her. ]}

... You know how to cook?
_{[ GINTOKI. ]}

[tsukky]

[ Wow, Gintoki. You don't have to look and sound quite so dubious when you ask her that okay.

...Although she did already just give him a disclaimer that she most definitely isn't going to be any help in the kitchen. What did Hinowa say about him not liking her if he finds out she's crappy at cooking? It's obviously bullshit but still... ]

Don't look at me like that! Of course I know how to cook.

I'm just

givin' ya the chance to show off so ya can try and get in my pants later or whatever the hell yer doin'. [ THAT'S THE ONLY REASON THAT BOYFRIENDS REALLY COOK RIGHT? ]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Hmmm. ]}

How did you know that's what I was trying to do?

_{[ why is he so dumb and shameless... ]}

I won't say no if you wanna help, though.

_{[ Cause this is domesticated and soft. He hands Tsukki the ingredients and tools to mix the batter and he'll get started on the rest of it. ]}

[tsukky]

[ Gintoki. She raises one hand to rub her temples a little, as though she's getting a headache. ]

Ya could at least pretend that's not what yer doin' or somethin'.

[ But yeah, okay, batter. Batter. She can do this.

...Not because she's had a few cooking lessons since she got here so she doesn't suck at this quite so much anymore or anything. If he's already got the right quantities of ingredients ready then it can't go too horribly wrong at least. Hopefully.

Anyway, she's sort of... subtly keeping one eye on him while she does this, because trying to do something relatively normal when you're Cordis'd and the other person you're in a Relationship Thing with is also that way is... kind of challenging. Especially with that strawberry scent of his.

And tails. So many tails. At some stage during the whole thing, if he's standing next to her one of her blonde tails will not so subtly brush against his. And maybe curl around it a little. Like in some Disney movie that's going to go off the rails and become completely unwholesome later. ]
