Ambushed!

58/T

"I really can't believe you." Hakkai sighed exasperated and more than a tad embarrassed.

"What?!" Gojyo exclaimed while trying to keep up with his best friend. Hakkai wasn't exactly running, but it was damn close. "I thought you'd like it!"

Hakkai stopped dead, Gojyo sprinted past him a few feet and then managed to get his legs to stop moving long enough to turn and look at the man. Hakkai's green eyes were flashing and he could feel the mounting fury like a storm climbing the horizon.

"You thought I'd like it!?" Hakkai squeaked incredulously.

Gojyo snickered, his face slipping into a casual leer as he stalked back towards his friend. He vaguely noticed the stares they were getting, but being on display had never bothered him like it did Hakkai, so he ignored it, used it even. Slipping in close, his face mere inches from the pale skin and smooth neck he whispered as sultrily as he could.

"Yeah, 'Kai…I thought you'd like it. Was I wrong? Because I'm pretty damn sure you didn't feel like I was." His warm breath puffed out across Hakkai's throat as he got just that much closer before flicking his tongue over the thumping vein.

Hakkai cried out and jerked back, a guilty flush diffusing across his cheeks. Slapping his hands over his mouth he froze as more than one pair of shocked eyes turned to them. Grabbing Gojyo by the collar he hauled him behind the nearest building and slammed him against the wall.

"You are so dead."

Gojyo's eye brows shot up into his hair line, though the leer never left his face.

"I wanna see you try it, 'Kai."

"Home…now." He ground out, and push/prodded the unrepentant kappa back towards their little cottage in the woods.

Gojyo grinned broadly, wondering how often he could use that tactic to get Hakkai away from the girls at the bar and then chuckled. When had it turned into 'get Hakkai away from the bar' versus 'get some girl from the bar'? As the door to the house was kicked opened and Gojyo found himself unceremoniously tossed to the floor, Hakkai looming above him, he smiled. It didn't really matter anymore.

Not in the least.

Fin.
