Written for Toni in my request a drabble post.
This is technically supposed to be called "Out of the Frying Pan", but I did tie it with "Kinkinator". Both can stand alone.
This is my first time writing these two characters, and I know there's something off with them (Gojyo and Hakkai in the first chapter, too), so if anyone could help me with characterization, I would be very pleased.
I don't own Saiyuki.
Goku's stomach growled angrily as he poked at the fire with a long, thin stick.
Sanzo turned to him. "Hungry?" he asked, already knowing the answer.
"I'm not hungry. I'm starving," Goku complained, falling forward so his face was mere inches from the fire.
"Get away from the fire," Sanzo snapped. "You're going to catch on fire."
"I don't have the energy to move!" he whined. "Stupid Gojyo, eating my food. Where is that bastard, anyway?"
Sanzo shrugged, pulling the meat-on-a-stick he had been cooking from the fire and eating the end piece. "Don't know. He said he had business with Hakkai to attend to."
Goku's nose twitched. Once. Twice. Then he jumped up to Sanzo's side.
"Sanzo!" Goku cried, his face a centimeter from Sanzo's.
"No," Sanzu said sharply, and went to take another bite.
He stopped, his mouth open and the food oh-so-close to making it to it's destination. He turned to Goku.
"I can't eat with you so close to me," he growled.
Goku didn't move, but his mouth watered.
Sanzo turned away again, this time his back from Goku.
Goku leaned on Sanzo's back, his cheek against Sanzo's. Sanzo glared at him from the corner of his eye, then he handed the stick to Goku, muttering something about him being a brat.
"Thank you!" Goku cried, glomping Sanzo before eating it all in one bite. He then curled up beside Sanzo, his head on Sanzo's lap.
"Hey! Get off of –" Sanzo started, before realizing that Goku had already fallen asleep.
He absent-mindedly pat Goku's head. "Goyjo..." he growled quietly. "I'm blaming you for my lack of supper tonight."
Con Crit more than welcome. Flames will be mocked.
