Our Peaceful Days
Summary: Thirty-nine prompts for the 39 pairing. Six years before the Journey started, Sanzo does his begrudging best at keeping his newfound pet properly fed and taken care of, and little Goku tries his eager best at making his newfound owner happy.

IX. Sleep
Sanzo has come to get used to the notion that the little monkey child will always sneak inside his room just to sleep by his side. He shrugs it off. That seems fine, as long as Goku knows his side of the bed.
By the way Goku hogs up all the space on the bed, even going as far as to take some of the sheets every time he turns over, Sanzo gets closer to throwing the little demon out every night—
Sanzo clicks his tongue in the dark, craning his neck as he tries to look at where Goku struggles on trying to get under the tangled sheets. He growls, his voice still laden with sleep, "Goku, goddamn it, get back to your room—"
"But I'm cold."
"Then go to the kitchen's fireplace," Sanzo mutters with a tut. His following words of further reprimand are cut when he feels Goku's arm and leg drape over him like Sanzo's a human pillow. Sanzo curses him off, but Goku refuses to budge, and further buries his face on the monk's neck.
Sanzo's nose twitches at each prod of Goku's hair tickling his nostrils, and he tries snorting them away, only for Goku to giggle and rub his face on the man.
Sanzo gives up trying to shove Goku off when he feels a familiar pair of lips brush against his. The man clicks his tongue out of irritation—not embarrassment, he denies to himself—
Sanzo soon falls asleep—and when morning comes, he wakes up to find his lips a hair's breadth away from Goku's brow.
