Katsura knows, has known for a long time; That's maybe why he's the only one who's truly convinced Gintoki can't change.
It won't stop him for trying to stay by his side anyway. He's never been much logical.
2
Kagura knows, and she's glad her love for the perm-head is just a platonic father-daugther kind of love. Maybe if she was older, yeah.
Maybe if he wasn't such an idiot, yeah.
It didn't stop her from getting jealous when the silver haired samurai paid attention to her brother though.

Shinpachi has come to know, or maybe he always knew and that's what he found so special about the other man.
But he can't help craving his attention, his touches and his support. Even if he knows he's probably as nothing to the silver haired man as he is to most of the world.
He'll keep on pleasing him though, hoping someday his dead-looking eyes would look at him and actually see him.

Hijikata doesn't want to admit it. He's a disciplined man: the shinsengumi needs him that way, but the Yorozuya is like a magnet to his person. Be it fighting or fucking, he'll always find himself getting involved with the other man before he even notices.
He says he hates him; Maybe he does; mostly because after the adrenaline from fighting goes away, or the sex finishes, the other will escape from his grasp easily like water between the fingers.
Hijikata is a possesive man. He hates what he can't really have. But he's also a persistent guy: so he'll keep on trying.

Okita has known from the first time he saw the silver haired man. It's in his sadistic personality always wanting to have control over the situations and persons; but he's never even thought about controlling this man. Things just didn't work that way.
He can't help but feel sorry for the ones who don't get it. Hijikata's an exception of course. It delights him to see him try and fail. His expression is delicious.
6
Otae has known it for a long time and that's when her hopes were crushed.
She wasn't the type of pathetic woman what would pursuit a man like a stalker. She was the queen, and others would have to pursuit her like she deserved.
It didn't stop her from feeling a little happy on the inside when those lazy crimson eyes looked at her.
7
Takasugi knows; but he'll destroy the world if that's what it takes to change it.
And he'll break him; and break him again, as many times as it is necessary, just to change him. It sickens him, how Gintoki makes him the butterfly wanting to be burned by the lazy samurai's light. There isn't anything he would like more than having the perm-headed samurai for himself to use. Only to feel power over him.
That's why he'll kill him. But not before breaking him first...
To steal his light.
If he can reach him

Sakamoto was innocent enought to believe it secure once. He extended his hand towards the silver haired man only to be laughed at. How naive of him. But he didn't feel rejected. He was an optimist.
That's why he left for space anyway; for going to grasp something that seems just as impossible to reach like the sky makes him feel a little hope; that someday, the silver haired samurai would take his hand and be by his side. If he could reach the sky, he was sure he could reach the yorozuya then.
9
Tsukuyo desperately wanted to stop feeling it wasn't impossible, but everytime the samurai got closer, her heart would beat faster and her cheeks color and she hated it. How vulnerable and womanly he did make her feel,
But what she did hate most was the fact that she wished he would make her feel more like a woman than he already does.
But he won't.
10
Even Madao knows. Gintoki was as unreachable as money for him. The guy would disappear like money without you even noticing. That's what probably made him so precious, while still being a fucking bastard.
11
Sacchan likes to think it's not like that. For she, Sarutobi Ayame, has no other purpose in her life than wanting him. It does not matter if he rejects her, or if he says he hates her, or if he hits her while pushing her away. She says she loves it, maybe she does. For her masochistic act is just a part of the attention she craves from him. And she keeps on trying thinking maybe she can change him.
12
Kondo laughs and tries to explain it in words, his crushing sincerity making it sound like he's failing at being poetic. Gin-san's just too much of everyone's to be claimed as someone's. Maybe it is in his light,and as a leader, he can't help being a little jealous from how captivating the silver haired samurai is.
13
Yamazaki has probably not even thought about it. He was way too much of a jimi to even have a chance at being looked at by the yorozuya. But if he's asked about it, he would not doubt a second to follow him.
14
Kyuubei blushes and evades it. She's only interested in Tae-chan , she says. But deep inside, there's a part of her that has accepted the silver haired samurai like she's never done to other man. She could never even think about being with him, the merely thought seeming ridiculous. But she can't help the blush that comes to her face when the other compliments her girlyness.
15
Kamui loves it. In his twisted mind it makes the samurai even more tempting. Maybe part of his strenght resides in it, he guesses. Even if he is posessive and it makes him angry that his prey would never be his alone, he delights in the thought of finally being able to claim him and break him, being the only one to defeat and make that free silver soul his. It feeds his obsession like no other thing. And he licks his lips thinking about it, Abuto by his side sighing at the leader's antics.
