[ For a moment he just stares down at her. It's probably hard to read from his expression which way he's taking all of this - and when it comes down to Shinpachi, there's always a 50/50 chance that he'll either get a little embarassed as well or that he'll just completely let it go over his head.. okay, it tends to be the latter one a little more often than the former.
And this is definitely a case of the latter, since after that moment of staring, he just seems to shrug off the suggestion like water off a duck's back. ]
Why would I mind? [ Even if Shinpachi sucks when it comes to feelings until they hit him straight on the head, there's no doubt in his mind that Chizuru is important to him, at least. Otherwise he wouldn't have made those promises with her and done his best to live up to them at all times, even throwing away his humanity - the last thing he thought he'd ever do - for her without much hesitation at that moment.
And if she really wants to stay with him, then.. well, who would he be to deny her that? It's not like he realises just yet that it's probably more safe for her to be with him, anyway, but even just for her emotional comfort he wouldn't turn down a request like that. ]
If you wanna stay with me, then you're gonna stay with me, it's as simple as that. If Hijikata-san or anyone else protests, then they can just stick it up their ass.
[ SHINPACHI, NOT IN FRONT OF A GIRL.. at least he does seem to realise that after a moment, coughing a little awkwardly. ]
