It was almost ten at night, in a moderately sized town somewhere
between Japan and India. Most people would assume that there is nothing
going on that late at night.
But most people weren't Sha Gojyo, who rarely ever wandered out
earlier. Heck, he usually didn't actually make it into a bar until
almost midnight.
But then again, usually, he roomed with Hakkai.
"I can't take you anymore!"
"Why? I'm not even complaining about being hungry! Which I really am, by the way."
"Arrgh…"
Goku bounced up and down on the hotel's bed as he watched Gojyo make a
face that was usually reserved for Sanzo, right before he shot at
somebody.
"I'm leaving."
"Can I come?"
"No!"
"Where are you gonna go?"
"Somewhere where there's drunk gamblers and hopefully some hot chicks."
Gojyo was halfway to the door when he felt a tug on his clothes. Goku looked up at him without letting go of his jacket.
"When are you coming back?" he asked almost hopefully.
"In the morning. Tell that shitty preist he's welcome to leave without me. Any other stupid questions, or can I go?"
The teenager was quiet, but he still didn't let go of Gojyo, nor did he meet the kappa's eyes.
"What?"
"Why do you always have to go find some lady?" Goku asked in one
breath, making Gojyo have to pause to separate the words before
answering.
"Because chicks are nice to have around, but only at night. You'll understand once you get laid once or twice. Mini- monkey."
"I'm not mini! I'm almost as tall as you!"
"You are not. You're still a little kid. I bet you've never even been kissed, right?"
"I have too!"
"Oh yeah? Prove it."
What Gojyo was expecting then was an angry 'shut up, lechy kappa,' or
maybe just a sullen silence. What he wasn't expecting was for the
teenager to lean up and kiss him. Which is exactly what Goku did.
"Wh- what the hell was that?"
"See, that's proof!"
"I didn't mean kiss me!"
"Well, you're such a lech you probably liked it anyway, right?"
Damn… the stupid monkey was right… how to get out of this one…
"It's only because you kiss like a chick!"
"I do not!"
"You do too. See, guys kiss like this."
He kissed Goku back, a bit more forcefully, even slipping his tongue
into the boy's mouth at one point. When they drew back, Goku had a
thoughtful look on his face.
"I think I can remember that," he mused. "like this?"
He mimicked Gojyo almost exactly, using his grip on the kappa's shirt
to pull him in. His tongue pushed at Gojyo's mouth, and met resistance
in the man's own. There was a breif struggle, which Gojyo won.
He won the third time too.
And the fourth.
After that, they stopped keeping score.
