Journey To His Heart
Chapter Four: To Live For You
Gojyo groaned as he sat down on his bed and rubbed the bruise that was starting to form on his left cheek. "Chi~ Just when I thought I'd be injure free from the battle with that disgusting monster, Sanzo just had to box me! Loser!"
Hakkai laughed at that as he sat down in front of Gojyo and started applying ointment on the bruise. "It couldn't be helped. You didn't want to leave him and Goku alone when he ordered you to leave 3 times."
Gojyo chuckled but winced when his actions moved his bruise. He momentarily dazed out as he remembered what had taken place not more than an hour ago. After Goku's rather daring confession, which happened in front of the entire village, plus the fact that he kissed Sanzo on the lips, people started getting jumpy. Whispers started zooming here and there, most of the girls had smiles on their faces while some guys looked rather queasy, but all in all, they were grateful that their village was safe. The girl, who was the only surviving hostage, was brought to the hospital for a check-up while the 2 that died were taken care of with an air of sadness. Noting that Sanzo looked rather pale, Goku had asked Gojyo and Hakkai to help him carry the blonde up to their room. And so...Here Gojyo was now, thrown out of the monk's room and into his own with a bruise. He fingered his cheek thoughtfully, then, he grinned at Hakkai. "Ne, Hakkai..."
"Hmmm?" Hakkai place a band-aid over the bruise, not noticing Gojyo's gaze.
"Did I tell you how much I love you?"
Halting abruptly, Hakkai lifted his gaze up to meet Gojyo's. Then, with a smile, he said, "I'm sure you tend to remind me almost every night."
Gojyo knelt down in front of his lover and teasingly kissed the green-eyed youkai on the cheek. "Yeah, well, after Goku and Sanzo's little performance, I think I want to remind you now."
Hakkai laughed and tried to push Gojyo away. "You're insane!"
Gojyo closed his eyes and kissed Hakkai on the lips as he murmured, "Only for you..." Then, he continued his ministrations in a possessive manner, loving the sounds Hakkai produced as he pushed them both to the ground, Hakkai under, of course. He grinned seductively down at his lover and whispered, "I'd say that now's a good time to tell those two of our relationship, right? That way, we won't have to try so hard to cover it."
Hakkai stretched underneath Gojyo's body, making the redhead gasp at the movement as the green-eyed man gave his lover a taste of his own medicine. Hakkai sighed and murmured, "Hmmm...I guess your suggestion is pretty good."
"Isn't it?" Gojyo licked a sinful trail down from Hakkai's lips to his jaw, sucking on the vein he found underneath.
Hakkai bucked as he continued to talk, his smile never leaving his face. "Of course, I only said that since you're too strong to fight off whenever your erotic self takes over."
Gojyo unbuttoned Hakkai's shift, peeled the material away from his lover's body, and commented in his lazy tone, "Yeah, well, I think that my erotic self wants to be released right now." With that, he kissed Hakkai passionately as he held the youkai's head in place, tasting his lover with fervor. Hakkai smiled against Gojyo's lips and kissed him back with everything he had. He knew that he was making this too easy for Gojyo, but this what was attracted him to the redhead from the moment their eyes met.
With that, he chuckled and unleashed his own erotic self.
* * * * * *
The cool, evening wind blew softly through the open window, making the curtains flap gently against the folds that were created. The wind traveled slowly downwards, going through some discarded clothes on the floor, and finally landed on the two forms on the bed. It tickled the nape of the blonde, and left when it noticed that the person was waking up.
Sanzo blinked slowly and carefully, his eyes trained on the wall in front of him as he listened to the sound of the clock ticking steadily behind him. His neck felt sore, but strangely, he didn't pay attention to it too much. His entire body...felt great.
Looking down, his eyes landed on the form curled up next to his naked body and felt a smile graze his lips. Goku...
The young boy looked beautiful. His slender arms were wrapped around Sanzo's waist in a possessive way, his shoulders peeking out from under the blanket. Sanzo knew that the body underneath the sheets were as naked as he was, but he was too tired to see if his assumption was correct. Instead, he settled for snuggling deeper into the bed and holding his beloved close. He smiled. Goku had such a peaceful look on his face. His breathing was even, his eyelashes were so long and fairy-like as they stretched out over his cheek, his skin so smooth and satin-like, both to the sight and touch, and his lips... Sanzo bent down and captured those beautiful lips with his own in a chaste kiss. When he released them, he watched with amused eyes as Goku twitched his nose in a cute way. Sanzo chuckled. The saru actually resembled a rabbit for a moment.
Sighing, Sanzo continued to watch his lover sleep as his own mind went back in time, his smile never leaving his face.
*FLASHBACK*
Sanzo glared at Goku. "Stop that."
Goku jumped again from his seat. "Huh?! Ah...What do you mean, Sanzo?"
"I mean your being jumpy. Stop looking at me like I'm gonna murder you or something."
"Ha-Hai..." Goku bent his head and bit his lip as he stared at the door. Ever since Sanzo threw Gojyo and Hakkai out of the room, his old fear started to creep in. Sure, he was kissing and hugging Sanzo a while back without a care in the world, but now... He couldn't face Sanzo. What if he assumed that the blonde responded, but in truth, he was trying to push Goku away, or maybe when he thought he heard Sanzo say 'I love you', it was all just a part of his imagination? His anxieties were increasing by the second. He had never experienced this much fear. Sanzo was someone close to perfect, someone that was desired and respected by all... Was it possible that all his wishes and dreams about Sanzo being his actually came true in a snap? That was impossible-
"Goku."
Goku's head snapped up as he watched Sanzo sit up from the bed, his neck covered with bandages. Swallowing the lump that had formed in his throat, he croaked out, "Ha-Hai?"
Sanzo's eyes narrowed dangerously as he grounded out, "Come here."
Goku nodded, stood up, made his way towards Sanzo-
-And found himself being dragged across the bed and into Sanzo's arms. He gasped in surprise, and he was about to demand why Sanzo just did that when he saw the monk's face just above his. Losing the ability to talk, he turned his face away, waiting for the anger Sanzo was about to unleash. He was sure of it now. Sanzo was angry at what he had just done. He didn't feel the same way Goku did.
Saddened at this thought, he closed his eyes and waited for Sanzo to hit him, yell at him...anything. Sanzo didn't move at first, choosing to remain silent and still just as Goku was, only Goku was the one who was shaking with fear while Sanzo had nothing written whatsoever on his face. Goku's eyebrow twitched. What are you waiting for? I know you hate me for kissing you in public... Then, he felt Sanzo move and knew that his death would have to be swift and silent.
As Sanzo leaned in closer, Goku shut his eyes tight. Sanzo saw this, lifted his hand up...and place it on Goku's cheek as his lips, as cool as droplets of water, fell lightly on Goku's half-open one's. Goku gave a squeak mingled with a surprised gasp, but he couldn't say anything as Sanzo extracted himself from Goku, his breath dancing over the saru's as they stared at each other. Sanzo held Goku down as he said in a strained voice, "I know you too well, Goku." Goku blinked at that, but Sanzo went on. "I know what was in your mind, and I'm telling you right now, I'm yours as much as you are mine."
Goku was stunned. "San...zo..."
Sensing that his tone was too harsh, Sanzo cupped the saru's face in his hands and said softly, "Stop being so pessimistic, okay? Try to be optimistic like the saru that you are." Sanzo leaned in and gave a small peck on Goku's nose. "That's why I fell for you in the first place."
With a choked sob, Goku wrapped his arms around Sanzo's neck and cried on the monk's chest, his body shaking. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..."
Sanzo knew what he was referring to, and stroked Goku's head. "It's okay. It's all in the past now. Besides, you saved the hostage."
"But you almost died because of that! Because of me, you were nearly killed."
Sanzo smiled softly, lifted Goku's head, and whispered in the tenderest voice Goku's ever heard, "But I didn't."
Goku stared.
Sanzo brought their faces close to each other and continued. "You saved me. You saved me with the answer that shitty Goddess was looking for, and that's all that matters. You saved me, and now I'm alive because of you."
Tears started falling again from Goku's eyes as he closed his eyes and place his forehead against Sanzo's. They stayed like that for a while; Sanzo's arms wrapped loosely around Goku's waist while Goku's arms were around Sanzo's shoulders. Time went by slowly from that point on, Goku's cries subsiding slowly, Sanzo's eyes on Goku, and their foreheads never leaving each other's. When Goku's tears finally stopped, he whispered tiredly to Sanzo, "You saved me too..."
Sanzo moved slightly. "What?"
Goku looked into Sanzo's eyes and whispered, "You saved me too...You're my life, Sanzo. Loosing you would have resembled my death...that's why..." He paused, gave Sanzo a long, sweet kiss, backed up, and whispered, "You saved me by staying alive."
Sanzo felt as if the air left his system. He stared back at Goku in wonder, his heart rate speeding up to an unnaturally fast rate. But he didn't care. What Goku said...Sounded so perfect. I sounded so true, as if it came from the bottom of his heart and soul. Sanzo felt his heart go out all the more towards the young boy in front of him, and knew that he would never regret his decision for falling in love with Goku.
Quietly, he lifted cupped Goku's face in his hands and gave the saru a mind-blowing kiss. His lips traced the outer-lip of Goku before plunging into the wet cavern, his slow and skilled strokes making Goku whimper and moan. Sanzo played with Goku's tongue, seducing it to follow him back into his mouth.
Goku didn't need a lot of seduction. Grasping Sanzo's head, he lifted his body up, sat on Sanzo's lap, and kissed the blonde as passionately as he can, angling his head to one side as his mouth devoured the monk's. He tore Sanzo's vest open, threw it on the floor, and started unbuttoning the shirt. When that too was gone, he released Sanzo's mouth and sucked on the joint where Sanzo's neck and shoulder connected.
Sanzo gave a loud moan. Who would have thought that this innocent boy who was locked up in a cave for 500 years was so skillful? Sanzo didn't plan on staying idle either. He dragged Goku's head up, hearing the saru's groans of protests, but those groans quickly turned into moans when Sanzo kissed him hard. Goku wrapped his arms around Sanzo's shoulder, trying to gain leverage in his position. By doing that, his hips brushed up against Sanzo's growing erection. Sanzo couldn't wait. He tore Goku's shirt in half, threw the cloak on the floor, and attacked Goku's chest.
Goku buckled at that action and threw his head back, his cry ringing in Sanzo's ear...and that was all Sanzo could remember before his lustful nature took over.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
Sanzo shook his head and stared down at Goku. I was his first...as he was mine. At this thought, Sanzo could tell that his smile was widening and becoming tenderer. He knew that Gojyo was going to make fun of his being too 'smiley', but he didn't care at the moment. Nothing could make him worry about anything. He finally had Goku in his arms, and he wasn't going to let go anytime soon.
He looked at the clock, noted that it was almost dinnertime, and decided to get a few more minutes of sleep before he and Goku met Hakkai and Gojyo. He buried his nose in Goku's hair, kissed the top, and murmured as sleep took over, "I love you..." Then, he fell asleep with his arms wrapped possessively around Goku's warm chest, his own chest pressed up against the curve of the saru's back.
What he didn't see was that Goku smiled lovingly in his sleep and murmured back just as softly, "I love you too..." And with that, he moved slightly and wrapped his fingers around Sanzo's hand, making Sanzo smile in his sleep and squeeze Goku's fingers back.
Everything was perfect.
