Here we go…

Sanzo narrows his eyes to the thermometer in front of his nose. 38.5 Celsius degree. Sighing, he puts the thermometer on the table as he closes his amethyst orbs tiredly. His fever doesn't seem to get better yet. It has been his 3rd day of lying helplessly on his bed. The almighty 22 years old Genjo Sanzo, the best student in the almighty KANZEON UNIVERSITY, is catching an almighty cold in a peaceful summer.

Cho Hakkai, his best friend, has visited him for a few times. He's a lot of helps. Hakkai has helped him to do any house works needed. Sanzo couldn't thank him enough for that--except for the lectures Hakkai gives him every time he comes. Hakkai could be such a troublesome bastard sometimes.

Hakkai is now in love with a red-eyed guy in JIROUSHIN UNIVERSITY. Every time he pays a visit, Hakkai will grumble about the guy—who the hell is his name…? Sanzo just remembers that his name contains 'jyo'—or 'joe' or 'ju'? Hell. Like he cares. He's sick with the name and he just wants to sleep in peace. No Hakkai here, so he guesses finally he can have his long-lost peacefulness.

PING PONG!

And who the hell is it?!

Furiously, Sanzo stands up from his bed. Hakkai has just left a few minutes ago. No one supposes to knock at his door now. Until this time, Sanzo only permits Hakkai to get inside his room. Other person? Step on his dead-body before touching his furniture.

Sanzo opens his door-scope tiredly as he narrows one lavender eye onto the scope.

He's stunned to the rare image in front of him. He blinks for a few moments. There stand a beautiful golden-eyed boy in front of his room. Sanzo examines the beautiful chocolate-haired boy in front of him. He has a perfect-shaped body; with tanned smooth skin. He is about 18 or 17… or may be younger. And those kissable lips are very arousing. He wonders if he can pin him right on his bed now and—WAIT A MINUTE! Genjo Sanzo isn't supposed to be a perverted bastard!!!! Sanzo shakes his aching head for several times. DAMN IT! Where the hell is his famous self-control?! That boy is a stranger. He just has to ask what's his business and that's ALL!

"Who the hell you are?", Sanzo asks through the microphone.

"I'm Goku! Hurry up open the door, Gojyo!", the boys yells, "I'm very hungry!!! You told me that you'd pick me up in the station! I had been waiting for 3 hours and you didn't appear!!! You must be having fun with your girlfriend again, right?! Open the door right now or I'm going to smash it down!!!!!"

Sanzo holds his head tiredly. So, this boy is lost. And the name 'Gojyo' seems familiar…

"You're lost, boy. Just away before I blow your brain!", Sanzo yells.

"Gojyo, stop the silly joke!!!! I'm really starving here!!!! I haven't been eating for 3 hours!!!!", the boy falls on his butt. He throws his bags on the floor, "I won't disturb you!!! Just let me in and eat!!!"

"DIDN'T I TOLD YOU THAT YOU'RE LOST?!! DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT YOU IDIOT BOY!!!", Sanzo starts to lose his temper.

"I'M NOT AN IDIOT!!! DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT I WAS REALLY HUNGRY?!!!", the boy stands up and folds his sleeves, "FINE! You're asking for it!!!!", he steps backward, and prepares to kick down the door, "YOU'D BETTER STEP AWAY FROM THE DOOR NOW!!! 3… 2…"

"W—wait!!!"

"1!!!!!!!!!!!"

*BUMP* *BOOM*

And that's the end of Sanzo's precious apartment door. Let's pray for its soul. Amen.

Goku blinks innocently as an unfamiliar guy picks him up by collar. He opens his golden eyes as wide as he can. He can feel the dark aura from the beautiful blonde haired guy and it surely freaks him up.

"Err… hello… my name is Son Goku… are you Gojyo's boyfriend…???", Goku asks confusedly, "I didn't know that Gojyo is a gay now…".

Sanzo looks at the acting-like-innocent boy furiously. His gaze can seriously make you blind if you don't have strong eyes. If you look closer, you can see a thin smoke comes out from his ears and uncountable veins appear on his head. Fortunately, our little Goku is just too stupid to even know the meaning of 'death is closer'. He just blinks and gets stunned by the beautiful guy in front of him. He has never seen someone so beautiful before. Unconsciously, his hand moves by itself on Sanzo's reddening cheek. He's startled to the heat on it. So, this pretty guy is having a fever…

"Are you catching a cold??", he asks innocently, "Then you should take a rest—"

"I WAS TAKING A PEACEFUL REST JUST NOW UNTIL SOMEONE KNOCKED AT MY DOOR AND FORCED ME TO LET HIM IN!!!!!!", Sanzo yells to the puppy-eyed boy in front of him angrily, "I TOLD HIM THAT HE'S LOST BUT HE WOULDN'T HEAR ME!!!!!"

"Fine! Fine! You don't have to yell!", Goku closes his ears, "I thought you're very beautiful… but you're also very harsh, dude…"

One more vein throbs inside Sanzo's head. He really hates to be called beautiful. Can't this guy become more aware?!

Sanzo narrows his eyes as his headache returns. He lets go the boy and tries to support himself with the wall behind him. "Fine. Now go. I won't expect anything from you."

"Uh… but…", Goku looks at the door nervously. He feels guilty and there're enough reasons for it.

First, he destroyed someone else's door. Second, he insisted to come in even the guy has told him that he's wrong. Third, it will be dangerous to stay in a room without a door. Moreover again, he is sick now. A sick people suppose to lie on the bed the whole day; and with a room without door, there's no way he can have a proper rest. What a sinner he is! There's no way he can leave in this kind of condition! He is a man and a man won't run away from responsibility! It's his pride.

"I won't go.", Goku taps on his jacket to wipe away the dust on it, "I won't go until you have got this door repaired."

"What do you mean by that?!!! Just leave me alone, idiot monkey boy!!!!", Sanzo yells. Now he really misses his aloneness and the peacefulness.

"You're sick, dude!!! How you suppose to take a rest in a room without door?!", Goku yells back, "I am staying here!! You can just call the police to get rid of me!!!"

Sanzo looks at the innocent golden eyes in front of him. Eyes are the windows of your heart. And through the windows, Sanzo can't see any bad thoughts inside. He purely just wants to pay for his mistake; that's all Sanzo can see inside the golden-eyed boy.

"Fine.", Sanzo puts a hand on his temple, hoping that it can bring a little relieve on his throbbing head, "I'll sleep for a few hours, then I'll call someone to fix this door. In the few hours, you may stay here, but make no mess. Or you're dead meat."

Goku's sad face turns happy as he hears the magical words.

"OK! I promise I won't cause any mess!", he says quickly before the blonde changes his mind.

"Fine. Now drag that bags inside and just sit in the living room. You may watch the TV there.", Sanzo turns back to his room; while wondering why the hell he believes in the stranger. He is not a type of someone who will carelessly let a stranger enter his flat; moreover sleep with a stranger inside his room? That'll be a miracle once in 500 years. Like hell. May be this is the day. He is dizzy now and he desperately needs rest.

He has to hide his smile as the boy drags his bags inside. Somehow he feels that he's going to deal with this boy for a long time starting now…

Well… It isn't that he doesn't like it.

***

Sanzo wakes up in a better mood. He looks at the clock; he has slept for 6 hours. It's almost midnight now. He was planning to sleep for only 2 hours. It's rare to find him out of control.

Sanzo sits on his bed for a few minutes until Goku shows up from the living room.

"You're awake?", Goku smiles as he walks to Sanzo's bed, "Gojyo came an hour ago and he helped me to buy some medicine for you. I asked him to repair the door but he couldn't. So I asked him to come back tomorrow morning with a fixer."

"What did you do that for?", Sanzo asks sarcastically.

"For you. Who else?", Goku blinks as if it's just a normal statement.

Sanzo smirks to the naïve reply. He wonders if the boy has lost some brain cells or what. He never found someone so stupid before.

"Anyway, Sanzo…", Goku smiles sheepishly, "I'm really hungry… but I didn't dare to eat without your permission… err… can I eat now?"

*GROWL*

The sound from his stomach gives more reasons for Sanzo to feed the boy. Sanzo sighs as he descends from his bed. "We'll eat outside. I have not enough food in my refrigerator."

"But your fever—"

"I'm fine now. So you just out from this room. I'm going to change.", Sanzo says as he starts to unbutton his shirt.

Goku blushes to the scene. He is stunned with the beautiful blonde who starts to undress in front of him.

Sanzo rolls his eyes confusedly to the boy, "What the hell you're waiting for?! I told you to go outside! Are you going to stay and watch me get dressed?!"

"Y—Yes!!!", Goku blushes deeply. Quickly, he rushes outside. Sanzo can hear the sound of something bumping the wall and later he can also hear a soft moan of 'itte~'.

//Idiot.//

Sanzo lets out a soft giggle. May be it'll be really fun to stay with this boy. At least he'll keep him smiling more often. ………………… isn't it a bit un-Sanzo-ism…? Like old quote says: fuck the bloody rule.

Sanzo puts on his jacket and walks outside. He has to hide his smile when he sees the boy is holding his bumped head. What a cute picture.

"Iku-zo, saru."

"I'm not a saru!!!! And how about the door??"

"I have asked the apartment owner to take care of it. May be it will be ready when we're home."

***

Sanzo tries to keep concentrating to the road in front of him; while the boy he put on the seat beside him keeps talking. He tells Sanzo that he comes from Hokkaido. He was accepted in one of the university in Tokyo, so he moved here. He tries to regain the name of the university but he just can't remember it, so he skips the part and starts to talk about Gojyo. Gojyo is his cousin. Gojyo only returns to Hokkaido in Christmas and New Year holiday. He also tells Sanzo that Gojyo is a super playboy. Even in Hokkaido he will use girls like clothes. He changes it once a day. Except if he really likes the girl, he will use her for a week; but that's the limit. He never dates the same girl for more than a week. Sanzo's ears start to be sore. He starts wondering why this boy never outs of stories. He has asked him to keep silent for 5 times and after 5 minutes; this boy will start to talk again. He just wants to reach the nearest restaurant as soon as possible.

"Na, Sanzo…"

"How could you know my name?", Sanzo becomes aware that he didn't tell his name to the boy yet.

"I saw your name on your books on the table.", Goku says sheepishly, "B—But—I didn't read it! Really! I didn't do anything to your things!"

"I didn't say that you did something to my personal things, saru.", Sanzo tries to hide his soft smile.

"I have a name! I told you that my name was Goku! Don't call me saru!", Goku yells.

"Fine! Goku! Please sit tight or we're going to collide something!!", Sanzo uses his left hand to push Goku back on his seat.

"Kechi.", Goku grumbles as he returns to his good-kid sitting position.

Sanzo smirks to the boy beside him. Somehow he feels familiar with his 'kechi'. Oh well, scratch it. He must be imagining things. It's the 1st time he met such an energetic idiotic stupid naïve boy. He turns his car to the parking park of a restaurant.

"Fine, saru. We're here."

"I'm not a saru!! Sanzo~!!!!!!"

"Urusai!" #

"… mou! Kechi!"

***

Sanzo didn't expect to meet Hakkai in the restaurant. He just recognizes his presence when Hakkai waves his hand to him.

"Sanzo! Right here!", he yells.

Sanzo walks casually to Hakkai. It seems that he is having his dinner there.

"I thought you're still on your bed--", Hakkai blinks as he notices Goku behind Sanzo, "Ara? A boy? So… Sanzo… you're having a da—"

"Urusai!!!", Sanzo pulls Hakkai's collar angrily, "I'm not dating anyone!"

"I did say daxx. Not date.", Hakkai smiles innocently.

"Fine.", Sanzo lets him go as he sits on the seat across of Hakkai, "Goku, this is my friend, Hakkai. And Hakkai, this is a monkey I found in front of my room."

"I'm not a monkey, Sanzo~~!!!!!!", Goku protests as he sits beside Sanzo.

"He's right, Sanzo. He is very cute. How could you call him monkey?", Hakkai smiles warmly to Goku, "I'm Cho Hakkai. It's nice to meet you."

"Ah! You're such a nice guy, Hakkai! I'm Son Goku! Sanzo is such a meanie, but you're very kind!", Goku smiles happily to the friendly guy, "How come you can become friends with such a mean—".

*TWACK*

"You're talking too much, saru."

"Itte~!"

"Maa maa… this is a public-place, so let's keep calm, ne?", Hakkai chuckles as he gives Goku the menu list, "Just write down the food you'd like to eat. This time it's my treat, what do you think?"

"Wow! You're the best, Hakkai!", Goku happily starts to write on the list.

"Are you feeling better, Sanzo?", Hakkai asks.

"Hn.", Sanzo puts a cigarette between his lips.

"And that kid is really energetic, ne?", Hakkai smiles understandingly. Sanzo picks a magazine and uses it to cover his reddening face. The thing he hates from Hakkai is that Hakkai can easily read his mind. It's hard to hide something from the glasses-guy.

"I'm not a kid! I'm 18 years old this year!", Goku protests as he keeps writing on the list.

"Ooh, I'm really sorry.", Hakkai chuckles.

"No need to apologize, Hakkai. I thought he's 12.", Sanzo calmly says.

"Sanzoooo~!!!!!!!"

"Urusai, saru! You have been writing for a long time! Actually what the hell you're ordering?!", Sanzo snatches the list away from Goku. He sweats drop as he sees the long list. The kid ordered at least 20 kind of food. "Isn't it too much, rubber-stomach boy?!"

"I'm not a rubber-stomach boy!!! And I ordered them because I'm really hungry!!! I haven't been eating for 9 hours!!!", Goku protests.

"Let him, Sanzo. He is still growing. I brought enough money here.", Hakkai smiles to the loveable boy.

"I really want a brother like you, Hakkai!", Goku smiles happily to Hakkai, "Too bad, Gojyo is such a stupid bastard."

Hakkai widens his emerald eyes as he hears the familiar name.

"G—Gojyo?", Hakkai gasps, "You know him?"

"You know about my cousin?", Goku blinks innocently to him.

Hakkai blushes. How lucky he is! Goku is the best way to penetrate to Gojyo; his red-haired sweet heart!

Sanzo sweats drop to the scene. Now he remembers. Gojyo is the name Hakkai always tells him. The handsome Gojyo, the charming Gojyo, the brave Gojyo, the super Gojyo who saved Hakkai from some scoundrels a few weeks ago… that's probably the reason why Hakkai adores Gojyo so much.

"C—Can you tell me more about him?", Hakkai takes out his notebook; ready to write down any necessary information.

"About my cousin…??? You like him????", Goku widens his golden eyes, "I didn't know that he has so many fans… but because you're a kind guy, I want to have a brother like you. I'll be your matchmaker, what do you think?"

"Really??? You'll do that for me?", Hakkai looks at Goku gratefully.

Goku nods, "Don't worry! I'll make him fall for you! I'll tell him anything good about you!"

"Thanks a lot, Goku!", Hakkai hugs the boy happily, "And thanks Sanzo for bringing this kind boy to me."

"Ch. You're just too lucky for your own good.", Sanzo inhales his cigarette.

"The food it coming."

"Yahoo!! Itadakimasu!!!!"

*TWACK*

"Bakazaru!!! Didn't your parents teach you about manners?!"

"Itte~!!! I'm hungry, Sanzo~!!!!!"

"Maa maa…"
