A/N: Another annoyingly short one. It started as a Sanzo Gojyo buddy fic, but this seemed like a better idea. If you've read me and are reading me again, thank you.

Lying Down in the Gutter

Every guy needs a drinking buddy. Not the kind who watches while you drink yourself brainless and drags you home and puts you to bed and reminds you gently in the morning that you're stupid, but the kind who kindly drinks himself to shit right next to you, does not react (because he's too wasted to) when that chick with that face and that rack calls you a drunk, and passes out in the street right next to you so that mom has two delinquents to drag home instead of one and Goku has to help him. It's just as well that none of you can go anywhere in the morning because the car has a hangover.
