The rustling of cloth against cloth managed to pull Hakkai out of his light rest. He opened his eyes halfway, trying to determine what was moving. The sound came from next to him, Sanzo was sitting up. Hakkai smiled, "Sanzo, you're awake? That's good. We can move out tomorrow. It's too late to leave now." The blonde seemed not to have heard him. Hakkai furrowed his brows, "Sanzo?"

Vacant blue eyes captured his, startling him awake. Hakkai bolted upright, leveling his face with Sanzo's, "Sanzo? Are you… awake?"

"H-Hakkai…?" the words were spoken softly, "Where are we…?"

"We're still in the forest. You passed out while we were driving." Hakkai cocked his head at Sanzo. This behavior was remarkably similar to sleeptalking. "Perhaps you should lie down and rest some more. You look tired…"

Sanzo turned to him, looking at him but not really seeing him. "Hakkai…?"

Hakkai glanced behind him, wondering what the other was looking at, "Yes. I'm Hakkai." He looked back at Sanzo, to find the other pulling off his shirt. "Are you hot?" Hakkai tugged one of the arms, helping Sanzo get comfortable. The effort of losing the shirt seemed to have drained Sanzo. He sat still for a moment, staring at the cloth in his hands.

Then he looked at Hakkai again, and leaned forward. Surprised, Hakkai moved backwards slightly, keeping distance between himself and Sanzo. Sanzo leaned on his arm, once again bringing himself closer to Hakkai. Hakkai leaned backwards, holding himself up on an elbow. Sanzo crept forward again, kneeling like an animal over Hakkai, who ended up flat on his back.

"Sanzo?" Hakkai murmured, "What are you doing?"

The blonde made no response; merely staring quite intently at the other.

"Do you need something?" Hakkai asked softly, trying to act normal. What was going on? Why was Sanzo straddling his waist? Did he realize what he was doing? Was he even awake?

Sanzo continued to stare blankly. And then, in one rush of air, he said, "I need you."
