Gintama - Love First, Lose First! (Doujinshi) Manhua

As the cherry blossoms swirled around them in a dance of pink and white, Okita Sougo and Kagura stood facing each other in the middle of the deserted park. The air crackled with tension, their eyes locked in a silent battle of wills. "Why did we always end up like this, Sougo?" Kagura's voice was barely audible, carrying a weight of years of unspoken emotions. Okita's usual smirk was nowhere to be found as he took a step closer to Kagura, his gaze intense. "We were both too stubborn to admit the truth, Kagura. We were scared of what it meant to let each other in." Kagura looked down, her fists clenched at her sides. "I didn't want to lose you, Sougo. I pushed you away because I was afraid of what could happen if I let myself care for you." Okita reached out, his hand gently lifting Kagura's chin to meet his gaze. "I was scared too, Kagura. Scared of the vulnerability that comes with loving someone so deeply." In that moment, the barriers they had built around their hearts crumbled, and the unspoken words hung heavy in the air. "I love you, Kagura," Okita confessed, his voice raw with emotion. Tears welled up in Kagura's eyes as she threw herself into Okita's arms, the cherry blossoms swirling around them like a symbol of their newfound connection. In that moment, they both knew that their journey together was just beginning, filled with laughter, tears, and the promise of a love that would stand the test of time.
