A
minor incident and some major flirtation stir up trouble for the boys.
Sanzo/Goku. Gojyo/Hakkai. Slight Gojyo/Goku.
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
“Well,
I guess we’re camping out tonight,” Hakkai announced, much too cheerfully for
Sanzo’s taste. The monk gritted his teeth and forced his frayed nerves back
into some semblance of control.
“Fine,”
he growled, getting up and moving away. “I’m taking a walk.” He didn’t look
back, knowing Hakkai would take care of all those annoying details like
pitching a tent.
He
wasn’t wrong.
“Come
on, Gojyo. Help me set up the tent, will you?”
Gojyo
groaned but helped anyway. He didn’t mind sleeping in the open, but dark clouds
threatened overhead, and he didn’t really feel like getting soaked to the bone if
it rained. He hoped it didn’t rain, though. Sanzo was already in a bad enough
mood as it was.
“Goku,
could you get us some more water?”
“Sure!”
Goku grabbed their canteens and went in search of fresh water.
Hakkai
watched him go, and then turned to Gojyo, who was hauling out the canvas and
setting up.
“What
are you doing?” Hakkai asked, voice entirely serious now. Gojyo looked up,
surprised by his friend’s tone.
“What
do you mean?” he asked.
“I
mean with Goku. What are you doing?”
Gojyo
sighed and fiddled with the edge of the canvas tent, avoiding Hakkai’s eyes.
“I’m
just having a little fun, is all,” he said.
“I
know that… but why Goku? What could you possibly gain from this?”
“Why
are you so upset about it?” Gojyo asked, finally meeting Hakkai’s gaze.
“I’m
not upset.”
“Really?
You sound upset.”
“Do
I? Yes, I suppose I do, at that. I’m sorry.” He paused for a moment, looking
away. “It’s just… it’s upsetting Sanzo.”
“Yeah,
well, the monk can get over it. Goku’s not a kid anymore.”
“That’s
true,” Hakkai said softly, covering his bitterness with a faintly rueful smile.
“Please, forget I said anything.”
“It’s
okay,” Gojyo said, grinning again. “You’re just worried about me.” He
winked at Hakkai, the familiar sparkle present in his eyes, and Hakkai hid the
regret and pain that brought him.
“Well,
let’s not waste any time, shall we?” Hakkai said, moving to help Gojyo with the
tent.
“Wasn’t
planning on it,” Gojyo replied, looking briefly in the direction Goku had gone,
and Hakkai’s heart sank further.
And
he smiled.
………………………….
Goku
had found a small stream and was filling the canteens, humming softly to
himself while he did so.
“You’re
an idiot.”
Goku
jumped, startled, and nearly dropped the water.
“Sanzo!”
“Why
are you wasting your time on Gojyo?” Sanzo asked, arms folded across his chest
and face blank. He stood only a few feet behind where Goku stood, and Goku
wondered how Sanzo had so thoroughly managed to surprise him.
“What
do you mean, Sanzo?”
“You’re
encouraging him. Can you be that stupid?” The monk was beginning to
sound more irritated, and Goku took that as a good sign.
“Why
shouldn’t I?” he asked, trying to sound as if the answer meant nothing to him.
“Because,
you stupid monkey, he’s only interested in one thing.” Sanzo was openly
upset now, his face a mask of clouds. Goku phrased his next comment carefully.
“Maybe
I’m interested in it too.”
Sanzo’s
eyes widened slightly as he absorbed the meaning behind Goku’s words. Then the
moment passed and he exploded in rage.
“Do
you even know what you’re saying, you stupid ape?” he yelled, slamming Goku
over the head with his fan. “You’re too stupid to get involved with someone
like that! Idiots like you get attached! And don’t think you can come
crying to me when you get hurt because of it!”
Goku
returned Sanzo’s glare, refusing to back down anymore.
“I’m
not a stupid kid, Sanzo. I know what I’m doing! If I want to get laid, I
will! Don’t treat me like a child anymore!”
“Maybe
I would if you’d stop acting like one!” Sanzo yelled back.
“I’m
not the one acting like a kid here! If you don’t want me to sleep with
Gojyo, you’d better give me a reason why, instead of calling me stupid
and treating me like this! I know that anything I could have with Gojyo would
be just sex, and I don’t care! I’m not looking for more from him! If you
have a problem with that, tell me why!” Goku stared at Sanzo, daring him
to speak, but the monk was quiet for a long time. When he finally spoke, his
voice was once again carefully controlled, betraying no hint of his emotions.
Only his eyes held any passion, and they gleamed with a dangerous intensity.
“Fine.
Do what you want,” he said, and walked away.
And
all Goku could do was watch him go.
……………………….
Damn
it! What the hell is Hakkai’s problem? Did I do something to piss him
off too? He hasn’t talked to me since this afternoon. I wonder what’s going on
with him.
And
that damn monk’s been giving me his death glare all night. It’s starting to
creep me out. Ugh. Maybe Hakkai was right about Sanzo being really pissed off
about this. But why should he be? It’s not like he and Goku are a hot
item or something. I mean, for crying out loud, the monk wouldn’t be caught dead
being human or anything weak like that.
So
what the hell am I supposed to do now? Should I still go through with
this? When did this get so damn complicated?
……………………..
Maybe
I went too far. Sanzo seemed pretty pissed off. But I’m not a kid and he
needs to realize that! I’m doing this for him! He and I are meant to be
together!
And
Gojyo’s acting kind of funny now too. I wonder what his problem is. I
mean, he hasn’t come on to me once this evening. If this is his idea of
seduction, I’m amazed he ever gets laid.
God,
I’m so turned on! Does that make me some kind of weirdo? But I can’t
help it! Fighting with Sanzo is what did it! He was all flushed in the face and
stuff….
…………………….
Why
am I so upset about this? Why is it so hard for me to see Gojyo touch
the monkey like that? Why did watching Goku suck on the kappa’s fingers make me
want to kill something? Why?
And
why the hell was I so turned on by it?
What the hell is wrong with me?
………………………
I
have to do something. I can’t let things go on like this. I love Gojyo.
I can’t see him throw that away over something like this. Because I’m not sure
I can take it. I don’t know how to handle seeing him with Goku. Strangers are
one thing. They pass in and out of our lives like wind. But Goku is different.
He’s one of us. He’s just like me. He’s… competition.
I
can’t do this. I have to let Gojyo know how I feel. Maybe he’ll understand. I need
him, more than anyone else possibly could. He saved me. He made me
realize I wanted to live. I don’t want to be without that anymore.
But
he may not feel the same way about me. I know that. But I have to
try. What else is there for me?
Yet,
I’m afraid to say anything. I’m afraid of what his response will be. I don’t
think Gojyo is the ‘settling down’ type, and I can’t ask him to be.
So
where does that leave me?
