Oh ooh I will promise you
Yes, I promise to
Love you for all my life
Love you every day and
night
And I will always be
there for you
I'll
be in your arms and you'll be
In my heart
*^^*
"Sanzo…" Hakkai whispered
softly in their bed at night. Once again, a moment of silence passed between
them before Sanzo stirred and turned to face him, the bed springs groaning
under the weight. It was like a routine they went through every night. That is
if they were lucky enough to get a room for the night anyway.
"What is it?"
"I love you, Sanzo…" Came
Hakkai's husky whisper.
Sanzo didn't reply, but
something flashed in his eyes, pain or sadness or something else Hakkai
couldn't tell. Instead, he turned his back on him and moved to his side of the
bed, away from him.
Hakkai let him be, turned
on his back and wrapped the blanket around his body. He wasn't expecting Sanzo
to reply the same way, that's the way it goes everytime. Without another word,
he closed his eyes.
When Sanzo was sure that
Hakkai had fallen asleep; he closed his eyes, hugging the pillow to his chest
tightly. He had hurt Hakkai again. Why did he always cause pain to the people
that mattered most to him? Why couldn't he just say it to him? He knew that it
would make the only good thing in his life happy.
He ignored the tear that
slid down his cheek and whispered. "I love you too, Hakkai…"
*^^*
I'll love you forever, I
promise you
We'll be together our
whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I
wouldn't do
With
all of my heart I promise you
*^^*
"What's the matter with you?"
Hakkai looked up from the
map he was studying when Gojyo entered the room. He folded it neatly and laid
it upon the table. "Nothing much. I'm just trying to find a shortcut for our
trip tomorrow. Maybe we can get to the next village in four hours if we get a-"
"That's not what I'm
talking about." Gojyo interrupted. He pulled up the chair across from Hakkai
sat down on it, crossing his legs lazily. "I'm talking about you and the
corrupt monk." He spat out the nickname as if it were poison.
"Oh, we're fine. You have
nothing to worry about, Gojyo." Hakkai replied innocently.
Gojyo slammed his palm on
the table. "Dammit Hakkai! Stop it with the mind games!" He exclaimed angrily.
"Mind games? When have I
done those?" Though he was smiling, it was obvious that this conversation
deeply bothered Hakkai.
Frustrated, Gojyo grabbed
the collar of Hakkai's shirt and hauled him up until they were almost
nose-to-nose. "I know something is bothering you, Hakkai. And I swear if I
found out that Sanzo…I just don't want you to get hurt…" He trailed off and
released the youkai.
"You don't know Sanzo.
And I know for a fact that I can take care of myself." Hakkai straightened
himself and started to walk towards the door, but stopped in the doorway. "I
love him, Gojyo. That's all." And then he stepped out.
*^^*
Oh yea I will take your
hand
And I'll understand
Share all your hopes and
dreams
Show
you what love can mean
And whenever life just
gets too much for you
I'll be by your side, to
dry the tears you cry
*^^*
Sanzo got out of bed
while the sun was rising, and was just putting on his robes when Hakkai entered
the room. He was then offered a smile and a quick hug.
"Slept well?" Hakkai
asked. He wasn't expecting an answer so he began to make the bed. But a wrist
pulled him against a strong chest forcefully. "Sanzo…" He tried to squirm out
of his grasp but gave up. Sanzo was too strong for him anyway. He sighed and
leaned into the embrace fully.
"To what do I owe this
very special display of emotion?" Hakkai teased the monk.
"Baka." Sanzo muttered,
burying his face into Hakkai's brown hair. "Just shut up." Gently rocking them
back and forth, greatly surprising Hakkai.
They ignored the sounds
of the village people outside and continued to hold each other gently, exchanging
soft kisses at times. When the knocks on the door got too noisy and unbearable,
they untangled themselves. Sanzo sat on the windowsill while Hakkai went to
open the door, only to find a very agitated Goku.
Goku ran straight towards
Sanzo. "C'mon, Sanzo! Let's get some breakfast already! I'm so hungry!" He
wailed. Hakkai watched in amusement as the exchange of words turned into
argument. But his mouth turned down into a frown when the erstwhile argument
turned into more wails and the sounds of a paper fan being smacked onto a
stubborn head could be heard.
"Itai!" Goku cried and
sat down on the floor, rubbing his head and staring at Sanzo sadly.
Hakkai decided that it
was time to step in and gently laid a hand on top of Goku's head, rubbing the
already-forming bump gently. "Maa, maa Goku. We'll go and have breakfast in
while ne?" He gave the boy an apologetic smile and turned to the blonde monk.
"Ne, Sanzo?" As much as he loved Sanzo, he always reprimanded his lover of his
hostility towards the boy. Goku easily got depressed.
Sanzo locked eyes with
him briefly and nodded. A mute understanding – or a mute scolding - was
exchanged between them. "Aa." He finally answered and glanced down at Goku.
"Oi, Goku. Go get the other idiot and we'll go out." He said. Hakkai gave him a
nod, a sign that he was doing the right thing. "Now."
Goku nodded silently and
left the room, closing the door softly behind him.
Hakkai shook his head.
"You should be easy on Goku, he does look up to you, you know." He sat down
beside Sanzo and took his hand. He expected them intently; his fingers tracing
the lines on Sanzo's palm, and placing a kiss on the wrist were the pulse was
located.
Sanzo sighed. "I really
don't know why I picked him up. His voice was getting so irritating that I
wanted to give him a punch or two when I saw him." A small smile crossed his
lips. "But when I saw him looking at me so stupidly, I lost the impulse."
Hakkai smiled and kissed him softly.
"I know underneath all
that rudeness and scrolls, there's a really nice person just waiting to come
out." He poked Sanzo's chest and was answered with a glare.
"Hakkai?"
"Hai?"
"Why?"
"Why what?" Hakkai asked
and leaned his forehead against Sanzo's, looking straight into his lover's
beautiful amethyst eyes.
Sanzo willed himself to
tear his eyes away from his companion's, there was too much trust in them. They
stared at each other for a few moments before Sanzo found the courage to speak
again.
"Why…are you here…with
me?"
Hakkai chuckled a bit.
"You're serious?" Sanzo nodded. He sighed. "I really don't know what I saw in
you. You're rude and short-tempered and-" His words were stopped by the hand
clamping over his mouth.
Sanzo glared at him. "I
asked you why, not tell me how bad a person I am." He retorted and turned away
from him. Hakkai chuckled again and pulled the man closer to him.
"I'm sorry. Okay, I'll
tell you." He paused to take in a deep breath. "You know, I wouldn't have
really noticed it if you hadn't slammed me against a tree and kissed me like
there's no tomorrow." He grinned sheepishly. "I always thought that it was just
lust, you know? But while you were kissing me, I knew I didn't want just sex,
no, that didn't matter to me." He looked deeply into Sanzo's eyes and
whispered. "I just knew that I loved you."
*^^*
I'll love you forever, I
promise you
We'll
be together our whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I
wouldn't do
With all of my heart I
promise you
*^^*
They were approaching a
cold district, and it was snowing all around. Surprisingly, Hakkai loved the
snow and was humming a distant tune while he drove.
Sanzo was amused by the
look on Hakkai's face. He was almost glowing. And when some snowflakes fell, he
would stick out his tongue, hoping to catch one of them. He couldn't even hide
the small smile that was playing around his mouth as he watched his child-like
lover.
Night already arrived
when they arrived in a village; they had dinner and settled into an inn. Sanzo
made sure that Gojyo and Goku were safely in their rooms and opened the door to
Hakkai's room.
Hakkai was just shrugging
into his nightshirt when Sanzo came in and greeted the monk with a smile.
"Konban wa, Sanzo." He was expecting Sanzo
to push him down on the bed, like he normally did. But that didn't happen;
instead, Sanzo was tugging him towards the door. "What are you doing, Sanzo?"
"Let's go take a walk."
"What? But it's freezing
out there!" He protested, but Sanzo had gotten him through the door and they
were now making their way down the stairs. "Yare, yare desu ne…" He sighed and
let the monk lead him. But once they were out the door and into the snow,
Hakkai couldn't keep a smile and held onto Sanzo's hand tightly.
They circled the village,
all of the shops were closed for the night, and only the glow from the windows
lighted their way. Snow was falling down peacefully and covered the trees and
the roofs of houses; it looked like it was taken out of a dream.
"Ne, Sanzo…where are we
going?" They had arrived in a small lake; the cold temperature already turned the
surface into ice. The trees and the lights reflected on the thin ice. "It's so
beautiful…" Hakkai murmured dreamily. Sanzo wrapped his arms around him, and
Hakkai was glad for the warmth.
"I love you…" Sanzo
whispered into his hair.
Hakkai's heart skipped a
beat and clung closer to Sanzo, blinking back the sudden rush of tears. "Thank
you…" He replied quietly. They could have stayed there for all eternity and it
still wouldn't be enough.
"Well, if you love me,
then you'll stay with me forever, ne?" Hakkai pulled away from Sanzo's arms
with a slightly mischievous smile on his face.
"Of course." Sanzo
answered casually and cupped Hakkai's face in his hands.
"You promise?" Hakkai
could almost feel Sanzo's breath on his lips.
"I promise you." Then their
lips met, opening the door to new beginnings.
*^^*
Oh, I will always be in
your arms
And you will always be
the flame
Within my heart
I'll love you forever, I
promise you
We'll be together our
whole life through
There's nothin' that I, I
rather do
With all of my heart, I
promise you
There's nothin' in this
world I wouldn't do
I promise you
*^^*

I only stumbled upon this
song when I read a Gundam wing fic of the same title *waves her HeeroxDuo flag*
the song was so beautiful that I began to search for it, but found a song with
the same title with different lyrics, which is by Michael Bolton. It was just
too sweet that I immediately thought of this. I guess all the people who read
this are now being crawled on by ants. Gomen! I can't help but write sap!
Please review!!
