Heh. Shounen ai. Must write! One- shot, cuz I'm bored. Ph34r the bored!
Oh, by the way, I own no characters or anything.
Sometimes I start to feel bad about dragging the stupid monkey along.
Usually, this sort of sentiment starts after a fight where I actually
worried about our chances of winning. It ends about five seconds later,
when said monkey completely forgets about the bloodshed and asks when
we're stopping to get food.
It starts at night, when I hold him in my arms and watch him sleep. I
run my fingers through his hair and over the coronet. He looks so
innocent, its hard to believe the creature he would become if the ring
of metal were to slip off. It ends a minute later when Hakkai knocks on
the door and wants to know if he can sleep in our room. Gojyo's got
company again, they're keeping him awake.
It starts every time he wraps a bandage around a cut on his arm,
watching the material turn a deep rich red and swearing he'll be fine.
It ends a minute later when I realize I couldn't leave him behind if I tried.
… see, this is why we shouldn't drive for three days straight, running
on coffee and cigarettes. I start thinking weird stuff. Particularly
when there's nothing to look at.
Freaking sand.
