"Saaaaanzooooou" =hearts=

"…What AGAIN…?" Sanzou sighed in defeat, using one hand to support his heavy head.

"I'm picking you up. Let's go home together."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want it."

"Why you don't want it?"

"Because you're annoying."

"Which part of me is annoying?"

"Ask yourself!"

"You said it. So I should ask you, right?"

"Y—You—" Sanzou clenched his jaw impatiently. "Do whatever you want!!"

"Yay!" Goku smiled in victory.

Sanzou roughly threw his bag to the grinning brunette. "Make yourself useful."

"Roger, Sir." Goku held the bag as if it's the most valuable treasure before running behind Sanzou who walked faster and faster. He was actually glad because it was the third day since he had started to pick Sanzou up in his classroom to get home together. And each time, Sanzou had seemed to get easier and easier on him. Well, at least he no longer struggled to get him off.

"Just keep going."

He memorized Hakkai's advice.

"I'm sure that your determination will make improvement. And little by little… he'll fall for you."

Yosh. I understand. Goku smiled happily. I'll fight for the little improvement!

"Ne, Sanzou, Sanzou!"

"Stop yelling in my ears, saru! I'm not bloody deaf!" The blonde growled without decreasing his speed.

"Why are you walking so fast? Let's enjoy this! Don't rush!" Goku managed to catch him up. "It's not like you have an urgent business after this."

"I just want this to be over soon and get you off me." Sanzou hissed cruelly.

Goku just pouted. "Meanie."

"Troublemaker."

"Heartless."

"Annoying."

"Stingy."

"Bothersome."

"Why do you hate me so much?! I didn't do anything wrong, did I?!"

"DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG?!" Sanzou stopped and turned to the blinking boy. "YOU have ruined my LIFE--"

"Geez, you're exaggerating, Sanzou." Goku remarked.

"By forcing me to eat a coffin-sized lunchbox in every lunchtime!"

"You're too skinny! I'm just concerning about your health!"

"By following me around like a dog! You even won't leave me alone to have some private time in the restroom!"

"Geez, I wanna protect you from those perverts, Sanzou!"

=Some offended guys sweat-dropped=

"By filling my locker up with love-letters and chocolates everyday!"

"I just wanna express my love to you, Sanzooou" Goku threw his arms around the slightly taller boy's waist. "You smell so good. Let me hug you like this forever?"

Sanzou flushed, as he elbowed the boy off. "NO!"

"Whoaaa—" Goku lost his balance and nearly hit the floor—

"Oops…" --As a strong arm suddenly caught him and steadied him. "Are you OK?"

Goku blinked at his savior. "H—Homura?"

Homura just smiled. "Be careful."

"Yes! Thanks a lot! What would I do without you!" Goku gave the guy a friendly hug before turning his eyes back to the temporary stoned Sanzou. "Ne, Sanzou. Let me introduce him to you. He's—"

"I'm not interested to know." The blonde remarked, as he turned away and walked even faster than before.

"H—hey--! Wait! Uh… Sorry, Homura. He has been a little bit cranky lately." Goku threw him a wide grin before running to catch Sanzou up.

Homura just folded his arms and smiled knowingly. What a cute couple.

"Hey, hey, hey… wait a minute" Goku finally managed to reach Sanzou. "What's happened to you? Why are you walking so fast?"

Sanzou remained silent and increased his pace.

"Hey, Sanzou!" Goku caught him up and got in his way. "Wait a minute. Something seems wrong. If I did something wrong, you can tell me."

"…Why would I care about what you did?" Sanzou turned his face away and tried to walk again.

"Yes, you care. If you don't, then you wouldn't act like this." Goku stubbornly held the taller guy's shoulders to keep him in his place. "Sanzou, please tell me what's in your mind. I—I wanna understand. I wanna understand about you. I wanna know what you want. I wanna know how you think."

Sanzou couldn't hide his infatuation at the rare serious expression that was painted in the boyish brunette's face.

"I'm not Hakkai. I can't easily read people's mind. And yes, I'm stupid." Golden eyes softened. "But at least, I have my strong determination. And I'm determined to dedicate myself to you."

Sanzou remained silent, before bowing his head down and passing Goku to grab the bag and walk away.

Goku just stood there, biting down his disappointment at the blonde's response.

What did I do wrong, Sanzou? He rested his head on to the wall, closing his eyes tiredly. Why can't I reach your heart?

As usual, Sanzou didn't have his lunch. There's no particular reason why he didn't like to have lunch at school. He was just too deeply in love with privacy, and having people watching him eating didn't sound good to him. He'd just eat when he's alone--

--Before the wind-whirl boy came in to his life and ruined his every routine.

Damn you, Goku… Sanzou inhaled deeply, that his sanity was growing thin. How could you make me feel so miserable like this…

"I wanna understand. I wanna understand about you. I wanna know what you want. I wanna know how you think."

"I'm not Hakkai. I can't easily read people's mind. And yes, I'm stupid."

"But at least, I have my strong determination. And I'm determined to dedicate myself to you."

Damn… damn… damn… Sanzou rested his back on to his seat, closing his eyes tightly. How could he say something like that so easily? Didn't he know what it could cause to me?

Sanzou opened his eyes slowly, taking another deep breath before straightening his back. …Maybe Hakkai was right… maybe I have made a mistake… He glanced at Goku's schoolbag he had accidentally taken with him.

…Does he mean his every word? Sanzou opened the bag and pulled out a small wallet. There's no money inside the wallet. There're only his photos that had been taken secretly with a minimum photography talent.

Hmph… Sanzou's lips slowly formed a slight smile at the photos, imagining what the boy could have gotten through to take the pictures.

Picture one: Taken when Sanzou was sitting under the tree, shot from up.

SANZOU: …I can't even see my face here. =sweat drop= Does he really adore my hair that much?

…Yes, he DID climb the tree…

Picture two: Taken in the classroom, Sanzou with half-lidded eyes, staring at blackboard sleepily. Shot from outside the window.

SANZOU: …My class is in the 4th floor…

………He just LOVED elevation.

Picture three: Blurred basketball filled the three quarters of the image, and in the upper corner of the picture, there's a very small Sanzou who was walking back to the building.

SANZOU: …He sacrificed his head just for this small piece of me?

…Anything for love.

Picture four: Taken when Sanzou was having his gym subject in the football field. Taken from a very high place [Highly suspected from his classroom in the 5th floor, judging from the blurred sight of his desk in the corner of the picture]

SANZOU: …Wait. Isn't it an exam sheet?

…NEVER fall in love during the exams…

Picture five: Taken in the school field. Very small Goku in one corner, and very small Sanzou in another corner, they're about 20 feet separated. Taken from a very far place.

SANZOU: …………………………… =speechless=

…It seems that Gojyo was really a great friend.

Sanzou sighed as he put the pictures back inside the wallet.

God… He put the wallet back inside the bag. I can't help being sure… but…

"Are you OK?"

"H—Homura?"

"Be careful."

"Yes! Thanks a lot! What would I do without you!"

Sanzou closed his eyes tightly to drive the image away. The image of HIS precious Goku in the other guy's arms…

=THUD=

He blinked as a doll was accidentally dropped from inside the bag.

This is…

Sanzou held the doll carefully, examining it gently.

"What is it? You're bleeding?!"

…Maybe it's time. He couldn't help smiling at the disheveled teruterubouzu. His hesitancy just dissolved, and his chest felt warm with the sweet emotions that flowed inside his nerves. …For a confession…

"Waiting for Goku, Sanzou?"

Sanzou snorted at the familiar voice, quickly hiding the teruterubouzu inside his pocket. "None of your business."

"Well, but it's my business to tell you…" Hakkai got in to his desk, pulling out his books out of the drawer. "He's absent today. I went to his class just now. And one of his classmates told me that he caught a cold."

Sanzou remained silent. …He is sick?

"...Worrying him? Shall we go to visit him after school?" =grins=

"…Shut up." =flushes=

=SNEEZE!=

"Oops, spreading your virus again, little sick monkey?" Gojyo entered the room with a tray of glass, teapot and a pack of medicine.

"Shut-- =SNEEZE= up!" Goku frantically grabbed a pack of tissue. "If you came just for mocking me, you can just leave!"

"Ow, that's harsh. Especially that you have yelled at your savior who has kindly spared some time to visit you." Gojyo put the tray on the table. "Here, have the medicine."

"No! It's bitter!" Goku shook his head stubbornly.

"Sick people have no right to complain! Or you'll never get cured!" Gojyo forced the medicine in to Goku's mouth. "There! Get back to sleep now!"

"Argh! It tastes horrible!" The brunette stuck his tongue out, trying to somehow reduce the bitterness in his mouth. "Damn you, Gojyo—"

"Geez, how old are you? 18 years old boy doesn't complain about the taste of medicine…" Gojyo muttered as he offered him a glass of water, which he gulped all at once.

"I am healthy almost all the time." Goku returned the glass back to Gojyo. "…And for not tasting this thing again, I'll do my best to be healthy for the rest of my life."

"…Ridiculous reason for a ridiculous thing."

"Mooooou! Take back your—"

=CRACK=

"Excuse us…"

"……………………"

"S----S----Ss---Ssss----San-----" Goku gasped at the familiar figure in front of him, who still remained silent.

"Ah, it's nice to see that you're OK, Goku. You know, WE were so worried about you." Hakkai glanced at the flushed Sanzou with a sly smirk. "By the way, I need some private time with Gojyo… so excuse us."

"Eeek?! With me?!" Gojyo turned bright red as the beautiful guy grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the room. "Please excuse us and take your time."

=SLAM=

"………………………"

"…………………………"

I know I should say something. But what? We're still tense after what happened yesterday… Goku gulped nervously, looking at the silent blonde curiously. But why did he come here? Did Hakkai force him to? Well, it's not like he's a person who can get easily intimidated after all…

"…Here."

Goku blinked as Sanzou tossed a bag to him. "This is…"

"Your bag. I mistook it." He replied calmly.

Goku just smiled. "Thanks. Your bag is over there." So, it's the only reason…

"No problem." Sanzou dragged a stool to the side of Goku's bed before seating himself on it, much to Goku's surprise.

"S—Sanzou?"

"I didn't come just for returning the bag." Sanzou said seriously. "…I… I think we need to… talk."

"Talk?" Goku widened his eyes. "…About what?"

"About--"

"Hiya, Goku. How are you? I heard that you fell sick, so I came to visit you—"

Both pairs of eyes turned to the new visitor.

"Homura!" Goku smiled at the new presence, naively didn't notice the frown in Sanzou's face.

"Eh? So, you're also here, Sanzou? How rare to see you visiting someone." Homura folded his arms with a smirk. "Did I interrupt something?"

"Nothing." Sanzou stood up and walked to the door.

"Aa--! Sanzou! Where are you going?! We haven't talked a bit!" Goku yelped.

"…To the restroom." He replied before slamming the door shut.

And Goku sighed.

"See? It's a bad idea to let him enter and ruin the atmosphere!" Gojyo whispered to the still smiling brunette beside him, without letting his eyes off the screen in front of him.

"It's OK." Hakkai replied, still smiling. "They'll be doing just fine."

Gojyo shrugged. "…If you're so sure about it, I guess I don't have any reasons to complain." He turned his eyes to the slightly taller guy he had been secretly adoring for 2 years. "…By the way… when did you put this video camera inside Goku's room? I didn't notice it at all…"

And Hakkai remained smiling.

"Wow! Nikuman! Thanks!" Goku's eyes brightened at Homura's gift. "How could you know that it's my favorite food?"

"Well, I just happened to see you eating it during the lunchtime. You looked so happy at the time, so I thought that you liked it very much." The mismatched-eyed guy replied with a smile. "…By the way, I'm sorry if I interrupted you and Sanzou. I seriously didn't mean it."

"No. It's OK. Don't worry." Goku smiled. "I'll try to convince him to talk again later."

"Oh no…" Homura groaned. "So I DID interrupt something…" [A/N: Poor Homu-chan! XD XD]

"Ne, I told you that it's OK!" Goku grinned.

"No, no, no. I must seriously get out of this and leave you two alone." He picked up his bag and walked to the door. "And… Goku."

"Yes?"

"…Gambatte."

"…Thanks."

And Homura finally left the room.

"…Wow… what a BIG heart…" Gojyo muttered, still glaring at the unbelievable scene in the screen. "I thought he was interested in Goku. But now he has just given him up to Sanzou…"

"Eh? Really?" Hakkai blinked.

Sanzou couldn't help frowning as Homura appeared from the stairs, but also feel relieved that the 'obstacle' had decided to leave.

"…Oh, Sanzou--" Homura stopped to greet him, but Sanzou turned his face away and increased his pace.

Homura just sighed as Sanzou disappeared inside Goku's room.

"…Still… they're the cutest couple I have ever seen in the whole of my life…" He grinned silently. "…Thanks to Hakkai for letting me to watch the whole scene and have fun. He he he…"

Goku felt back tense as Sanzou entered the room. Trying to smile, he looked at Sanzou and encouraged him to sit back on the stool. But it seemed that Sanzou's darkened mood had taken over his brain, as he decided to stand.

I'd rather die to sit on the place where Homura sat.

Goku, realizing the change of the mood, sat up and tapped the side of his bed. "…Here. Sit here."

Sanzou narrowed his eyes. "…You're still sick. Lay back."

"Uhn. No. I'm fine. Just sit here, so we can talk more comfortably." Goku insisted with a grin.

Sanzou took a few times to examine the boy's face before agreeing the suggestion.

"Well…" Goku looked at the still-cranky blonde, feeling a little bit relieved that Sanzou's mood seemed to get better. "What were we?"

"………………………" Sanzou remained silent for a few seconds, trying to build back the mood. "………I'm sorry." He finally spoke, much to Goku's surprise. "…I have treated you horribly. I regretted it."

"Oh my GODDESS! He SAID IT!" Gojyo clutched his fists happily.

Hakkai just smiled.

Goku flushed, didn't know how to react at the most unexpected statement. So he bowed his head down and brought a finger on to his nose, the thing he always did when he's in confusion. "Aa---I—It's OK, Sanzou! Really!" He managed to speak. "I—I—never thought of getting mad to you—I don't even think about it."

"…I know." Sanzou couldn't help forming a slight smile. Well, he was hoping to smile wider, but he knew that the sly Hakkai must have put something to record this moment and was watching them in a separate room. Hmph. Bless his dignity.

=SNEEZE=

"Huh? What's up? Are you OK?" Gojyo looked at Hakkai with a concerned face. "Did you catch the saru's virus?"

Hakkai remained smiling. "No. Don't worry." …It seems that Sanzou knows about this video…

"…And I also want to let you know… that I don't hate you." Sanzou managed to continue, still avoiding Goku's eyes to reduce a little bit of his nervousness, to say the words he had never said before. "…I was just… hesitant."

"Hesitant?" Goku widened his eyes. "…About my love?"

Sanzou nodded, trying to remain pale. "It's all your fault, saru! You're always so cheerful… and always so friendly to everyone…"

Goku could only gape.

"…Curse the hell. I said it." Sanzou brought one hand to his mouth, now blushing furiously. "…I was jealous."

"J—Jealous?!" Gojyo clutched his stomach and laughed his head off. "He's JEALOUS! Our Almighty Genjo Sanzou-sama is JEALOUS!"

Hakkai rolled his eyes. To think about it…

"I love you, Hakkai! What would I do without you?!" =glomp=

He's really easy in saying love… Now I understand why Sanzou was hesitant… =sweat-drop=

"J—jea---jealous—" Goku's face soon turned in to a deep shade of red. Sanzou's jealous! Sanzou's jealous Sanzou's jealous Sanzou's jealous to me! OMG don't let me wake up if it's just a dream! SANZOU WAS JEALOUS TO ME!!!!!!

Sanzou took a deep breath, trying to recover after the great shock. "…I have said it. I'm going home now."

"W—waaaaait! Wait, Sanzou!" Goku held his wrist. "You have said what you wanted to say. But I haven't."

Sanzou sat back. "…What is it?"

"…You know, Sanzou… I've been loving you for 2 years… since the first time we met…" Goku started, holding Sanzou's eyes gently. "You, under the rain, looked so ethereal that I couldn't take my eyes off you…"

Sanzou just remained silent, couldn't help being infatuated to the sweet words.

"…And since the time on… I have been determined to be with you, for the rest of my life. I'll never EVER leave you. Not even for a mountain of nikuman…"

"…What a choose of word…"

"………=chuckles="

"Sanzou… will you…"

"Be my boyfriend! Be my boyfriend!" Gojyo cheered up.

Hakkai still smiled, glancing at Gojyo cheerfully. Hurry up, Goku…

"…Marry me?"

=Sanzou fainted=

=THUD=

=HUGE sweat drop=

"What does it meaaaan?!!!! Saru, you're out of your mind!!!!!" Gojyo shook the TV furiously.

"…How sweet." Hakkai swooned.

"Aa—aa—Sorry! I meant—" Goku blushed, realizing his mistake. "—Will you be with me? J—just being with me. I am not asking for a huge love… or a promise to be together forever… I just… need you beside me. And I'll do my best to make you happy—and—whatever you need—I'll--"

And Sanzou sealed the rest of the words with a kiss.

GOJYO: =gapes unbelievingly=

HAKKAI: =swoons his head out=

"S—Sanzou?" Goku lifted his head up, looking at the blonde hopefully.

"…Maybe with a bit more determination of yours…" Sanzou stood up, picked up his bag and walked out of the room. "…I will."

"HORRAAAAAAAAY SARU YOU DID IT! YOU'VE GOT HIM!!!!!!!!" Gojyo blew the trumpet and threw confetti. "YOSH! NOW IT'S TIME FOR CELE—" Gojyo gasped as a strong arm pushed him down on to the floor.

"Now… now… it's time for us." Hakkai was suddenly on the top of him, smirking wickedly.

"H—Hakkai!" Gojyo widened his eyes, blushing furiously. "What are you doing?!"

"Claiming my prize." He replied shortly. "…It's not only Goku who had an unrequited love… and so… we made a deal to help each other…"

"So you made a deal with Hakkai?"

"He just asked me if I was really serious with my feelings. And he asked me to make Sanzou happy."

Damn you saru you LIED TO MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Now… now… let's start, shall we?" =smirks=

=groans=

The rest of the scene's censored cause it doesn't suit PG-13. He he he…

By the way…

When Sanzou got home, he found his parents making out in the living room.

OWARI

OMAKE – Sunday Morning

Sanzou and Goku

PIN PON

"Err… Excuse me…"

"…Welcome." Sanzou opened the door. "Come on in. My parents have been waiting."

"W—wait, Sanzou—lemme take a deep breath…" Goku sighed deeply, bringing one hand on to his chest to feel his pounding heart. "Huff… are you sure they're in a good mood? They won't—won't—get angry to me, right?"

"Why would they get angry to you?" Sanzou muttered impatiently as he grabbed the shorter boy by wrist. "Hurry up!"

"Aaaaang Sanzou you meaaaaan I'm not ready I'm not ready I'm seriously NOT ready" Goku yelped as his lover dragged him inside the living room.

"Dad, Mom, here's—"

"Oh honey, you look beautiful today."

"Oh, darling… stop flattering me…"

"=kisses= =kisses= Our son has grown so fast…"

"=kisses= Yes… how about making one more son?"

"Oh dear… I'd love to—"

And Sanzou turned as pale as paper as he slammed the door back shut. They're doing it AGAIN!

"Eh? Sanzou? We won't meet your parents?? Eh??? Sanzou why are you dragging me to your room??? San—"

=SLAM=

Gojyo and Hakkai

"Hmm… this one looks great." Hakkai turned his lover around for a better view. "…OK. I'll buy this one."

"Thank you, Mister." The shopkeeper bowed her head politely. "I'll get it ready for you in a few minutes."

"No. You don't have to. I'll just buy it. Let him wear it." Hakkai threw her a smile.

"Yes. Thank you very much. Please visit us again when you have the time."

"Yes, sure. Just make sure that you're always well-stocked." Hakkai spoke as he held Gojyo's wrist and pulled him out of the boutique.

"Err… Hakkai…" Gojyo looked at his new shirt sheepishly. "I think you should stop buying me things. It looks so expensive…"

"Why not, Gojyo? You look good in it and I've got money to spare." Hakkai held his lover's shoulders gently. "So stop making that troubled face, OK?"

"Y—yes. Sure." Gojyo blushed furiously at the swooning people around them.

"Now, let's go to the cinema, shall we?" Hakkai smiled cheerfully.

And Gojyo nodded happily. So… white lie does exist…

OWARI

He he he… done! : ) Thanks for waiting patiently.
