Goku is enamored with Sanzo's hands.
To anyone else they probably wouldn't be anything too special, but Goku adores them. From a distance they may seem soft and fragile, but have the potential to be devastating up close. Calloused and gun-worn, those hands are well-used and world weary. They carry the scars and marks that weave a tale of tragedy and pain, claiming to hold nothing even as they clutch tightly to what they hold dear. They can be rough and unforgiving, even while offering comfort and solace in the only way they know how. Such beautiful hands are capable of causing death and spilling blood on a whim, but Goku cannot forget the times he has shivered and writhed with pleasure beneath the carefully crafted touch those dexterous fingers offer. Whether exacting punishment well-deserved or offering gentle guidance in disguise, those hands are still enthralling. Goku loves them tousled in his hair, ghosting across his skin, or even buried deep inside to fan flames of passion to express what cannot be said in words.
Though, he loves them best when they lay together in the quiet aftermath deep in the night, when their fingers are looped together under Sanzo's dropped guard. Soothed by the litany of Sanzo's even breaths, Goku admires the sharp contrast they present. Marble-white meets sun-polished bronze to create a beautiful contradiction, much like the lovers themselvs.
Goku knows what those hands are capable of, and yet he trusts them implicitly. He lives for them, loves them, and would die for them if the need arose.
Just as he would the man they belong to.
