[that's definitely a different way of looking at things. and definitely not in the way that souji himself subscribes to at all. it's weird, without a doubt, to hear someone sharing his name speaking hijikata so affectionately, so warm—it really sets the two of them apart right off the bat and proves well enough that there are plenty of differences that will eventually come to light.
his relationship with hijikata is brotherly without a doubt, but it's the sort of thing that he never admits verbally. souji prefers to instigate, to bicker, to get under hijikata's skin always, and maybe it's because he's jealous and bitter and possessive; maybe it's just because he feels like he always has something to prove. whatever it is specifically, the notion of expressing how important their relationship is just isn't something he can do so easily.]
If it ever came to that, I'd have to wonder if something possessed Hijikata-san. What a scary thought. [he plays along a bit though. he won't say it would make him sad, but acknowledging the fact that it would be weird as hell? he can do that much.]
