Chapter 10: In My Arms Again

-)Sanzo POV(-

I quietly ushered the sniffling Goku into the room. I mentally yelled at myself for jumping to conclusions so quickly. I would so kick the shit out of the person who gave me the information. After making the mental death note which took about two seconds, I reached over to try to embrace Goku.

I was somewhat shocked when he pushed me away, although I didn't show it too much. He looked up at me, eyes still slightly watery but burning with rage.

"How could you even THINK that I would cheat on you?!" he yelled. It seemed to echo through the apartment.

"I wasn't thinking," I stated, my voice slightly quivery.

"So you thought you KNEW I was cheating on you? Which, by the way, wasn't true at all?!" I had never seen Goku so angry before in my life. I had doubted that he wasn't capable of such anger, and then I realized it wasn't only a single feeling. It was frustration, sorrow-all kinds of negative feelings that had been pent-up in his body. I seized his shoulders and gave him a slight shake.

"Look! I wasn't trying to assume anything when I saw you two! I called you an hour ago and some weird person answered your cell! What do you expect if he fucking TELLS you that you were someone else's boyfriend?! Do you still think that would be assumption?!" I asked, glaring into his eyes. I softened my glare a bit as I saw the tears running down his face.

Sighing inwardly I pulled him close to me, allowing him to bury his face in my chest. I listened to his muffled sobs as I rubbed his back with one hand. I put my hair on top of his head, amid his fluffy chocolate-brown hair. After what seemed like 10 minutes his sobbing subsided.

"Are you okay now?" I asked a bit softly as I felt him lift his face from my chest. I grimaced at my partially soaked jacket, although my face didn't show it too much. Goku nodded, sniffling and rubbing the last of his tears from his eyes.

"I'm sorry...I didn't know..." he said. I ruffled his hair slightly.

"It's all in human nature to make mistakes, you just have to make sure not to dwell on them too much," I said looking into those deep golden eyes of his. He nodded before smiling and clinging to my arm.

"I missed you Sanzo..." he said in a welcoming way, although I detected a slight bit of sorrow.

"Don't think I didn't catch that, bakasaru," I said, although not in an unkindly tone. "I'm here right now and that's what matters, right?"

"Yeah! But...that wasn't what I was sad about..." he paused slightly. "I was just thinking that...you have so many good things to say, but I never really do." I got out my pack of cigarettes and stuck one of them into my mouth before looking at him.

"Stop being an idiot. Words are stupid. The meaning behind the words are what's important, and you show me enough of that through your emotions." With that said, we went over to the couch and lay there. It felt wonderful to have the one I love in my arms again.

-)Hakkai POV(-

Things were certainly busy around the school, but in my spare moments before I went to sleep, I always wondered about Gojyo. I couldn't help but think about what he was doing without me, if he had regained his bad habits back, such as doing drugs again. After a couple of weeks without calling him, I couldn't take the tension anymore and dialed the number to our apartment.

At first there was nothing, just the ringing of the phone. However, by the third ring he picked up.

"Hello?" I heard him mumble, signaling to me that he had actually been asleep.

"Oh, Gojyo, did I wake you up?" I asked with I slight chuckle, comforted to hear his voice.

"I thought it was you," I heard him reply in groggy voice. There was a bit of shuffling, signaling that he was getting into a more convenient position. "So, any particular reason you decided to call me at four in the morning?"

"Do I have to have I reason?"

"Loving me and missing me is still a reason, but knowing you, you were worrying again weren't you?" he asked. I smiled to myself.

"That and...do you know what next week is?" Silence reigned between us before I heard him sigh. "It's family and friends weekend. We'll get to see each other again!" I said happily. In my mind I pictured him with his hair slightly scruffy and the smirk I had come to know so well.

"Guess that means I'll have to go buy some plane tickets. It'll be wonderful to see you again...and to make you feel pleasured..." The last part was said with a more alluring voice. I could feel the blood creeping to my cheeks and I quickly put my hand over the phone. I had been sitting outside on the side of the stairs and people were now looking at me a bit strangely.

"Gojyo!" I heard him laughing and that helped me relax. "I'll see you soon then. Can you try and bring Sanzo and Goku along?"

"The damn blonde has college, but the bakasaru's available."

"Ah well...I guess it can't be helped. If Goku doesn't want to come, you don't have to force him to though. I'd understand if he'd want to stay closer to Sanzo."

"I'll drag that monk along if I have to."

"Just don't get killed Gojyo," I said in a rather cheerful tone.

"I'd like to see him try. Well, bye love." He made a small kissing noise, causing me to blush slightly again.

"Bye." I clicked the end button and slipped my cell phone in my pocket before smiling to myself again. It'd be wonderful to see my friends again.
