Operation Seduction

Phase One: Creamy

Goku was bored. Both Sanzo and Hakkai had retired for the night leaving him in the "care" of Gojyo. Gojyo's care involved telling Goku to stay where he was and to keep quiet while Gojyo enjoyed his usual pastimes of drinking, womanising and gambling. A few moments previously, one of the inn’s waitresses had taken pity on Goku and delivered a large, creamy dessert to the young man. Goku thanked her, but his usual enthusiasm lacked something. He glanced up to see Gojyo with a giggling woman on each arm and sighed. He dipped a finger into the cream and absently licked it clean.

"Hmm, look at that." the woman on Gojyo's left arm gasped.

"Cute, but a bit too young." said the woman on Gojyo's right arm. Gojyo had no idea what they were talking about but clearly, something was diverting their attentions away from him and that just wouldn't do. He followed the gazes of his companions - just to see what could be more important than him - and saw Goku licking up and down his finger. Not only could he understand the allure that had attracted the ladies but Goku was doing a pretty good job of holding his attention too.

Goku seemed to be unaware of various eyes on him as he plucked a cherry from the top of dessert and dipped it into the cream. He used the stalk to dangle the cherry over his mouth and flicked out his tongue to taste a little of the cream, then dropped the cherry into his mouth and detached the stalk with a soft pop. Gasps and faint groans rippled around the room, but Goku remained oblivious to them.

Gojyo definitely was not oblivious to Goku’s affects, particularly when his two female companions slipped out of his arms to cling to each other and giggle over Goku's treatment of the cherry. Gojyo looked around the bar. It seemed that more and more people were becoming captivated by Goku's display and the more attention on Goku meant less attention on him. Gojyo watched Goku close his eyes lick a blob from his bottom lip. At the sight of the little pink tongue catching the cream, Gojyo joined in with the soft moans from the crowd around him. Something snapped in Gojyo's brain and he wasn't quite sure whether it was his jealousy of having someone other than him receiving lustful looks from the ladies - and some of the better-looking men - or the fact that he decided that no-one else had the right to look at his monkey like that, but whatever it was, it spurred him into action. He hurriedly pushed his seat back, rose to his feet and stalked over to where Goku sat, idly dipping the tip of his pinkie finger into the cream then into his mouth.

"Stop this shameless display and come with me." Gojyo hissed into Goku's ear and grabbed his arm to pull him into a standing position.

"What? Hey!" Goku gave an indignant cry when Gojyo tried to drag him away from his dessert. "My food." Gojyo loosened his grasp to allow Goku to grab his bowl, and then hauled the boy out of the bar. He didn't say a word to Goku as the made their way to the room they shared - Gojyo pulling and Goku putting up a struggle and complaining every step of the way.

"Gojyo, quit yanking my arm. You're going to pull it out of its socket. Gojyo!" but Gojyo paid no heed to the boy’s whining. When they reached their room, Gojyo opened the door and shoved Goku inside. Goku stumbled into the room, clutching the bowl containing his precious dessert so as not to drop it.

"What the hell was that about?" Goku turned to Gojyo, puzzled at the question.

"What do you mean?"

"All that...licking and sucking cream off your fingers. The show you were putting on for everyone's benefit." Goku was looked confused. As far as he was concerned, he'd just been eating. He shook his head at Gojyo, telling the man he didn't understand. Gojyo sighed, rubbed his brow and flopped down onto the nearest bed.

"I was bored. You weren't paying attention to me." Goku spoke quietly. "I was just trying to amuse myself." Gojyo looked up at Goku's statement.

"What you have to understand is that sort of thing has an affect on people." Gojyo winced, suddenly realising that he was probably digging himself into a huge hole. Gojyo had no wish to explain the facts of life to Goku - that was the monk's job, not his.

"What kinda affect?" Goku had dipped his finger into the cream again and after he asked his question, slid the digit into his mouth. Gojyo could see the movement of his cheeks, suggesting that deep within Goku's mouth, his tongue worked furiously to remove all trace of cream. Gojyo stifled a whimper and drew his gaze away from the stupidly tempting creature that perched on the end of his bed.

"A bad affect. The kind that leads to you getting into trouble and if you get into trouble while I'm supposedly looking after you, that in turn leads to trouble for me. What are you doing now?" Gojyo made the mistake of glancing back at Goku just in time to see the boy hold out a cream covered strawberry.

"Want it?" Goku offered. When Gojyo snorted and batted his hand away, Goku raised the fruit to his lips to lick and nibble at the end.

'He's doing this on purpose. He knows exactly what he's doing to me!" Gojyo pondered. The realisation hit him so suddenly that for a moment, he couldn't believe it, until he saw the mischievous sparkle in Goku's eyes. A sparkle that confirmed Gojyo's suspicion that every move that Goku made was carefully calculated. Well, if the monkey wanted to play...he'd soon learn to stay within his own league after all, Gojyo had been playing this game for a long time and considered himself to be something of a pro.

"Hey Goku, I can think of something fun to do with that cream." Gojyo winked and inwardly smirked at Goku's blush. Ah, so his theory was indeed correct.

"What sort of game?" Goku hesitantly asked, briefly considering bolting from the room.

Gojyo saw a flash of doubt pass over Goku's face. 'Too late to back out now, monkey,' he thought to himself then sat up and leaned forward so his mouth was level with Goku's ear.

"I was thinking about a kissing game." Gojyo whispered and flicked out his tongue to trace the edge of Goku's earlobe.

Goku’s blush deepened. It wasn’t entirely down to embarrassment that he blushed; rather a part of it was the excitement of knowing his plan had succeeded. Ah yes, for it had all been a plan. Goku was, after all a normal teenaged boy and teenaged boys had urges and curiosities. Goku knew that Sanzo would never let him indulge his curious nature nor would Hakkai, but Gojyo…Gojyo was an anything-goes kind of guy. At first, Goku had considered asking Gojyo to set him up with a girl, but realized that only thing he would be set up for would be even more mockery and ridicule from the older man. So naturally, he went with his other option – seduce Gojyo into giving him a more hands-on demonstration. While it was true that Goku was the youngest, most naïve and with the possible exception of Sanzo the most inexperienced member of the group, he had been around Gojyo long enough to understand seduction and the methods one could employ to win the object of one’s desire.

Thus it was that Goku waited for the ideal moment to put his plan into action. That night, the perfect opportunity presented itself. Sanzo and Hakkai were both tired and went to bed early, Gojyo appeared to be in a particularly receptive mood – if the women around him were anything to go by – and the waitress managed to add to that perfection by bringing him a creamy dessert. From there, all he had to do was wear a bored expression and occasionally dipping his finger into the cream and licking it off. It had the desired result. Gojyo had dragged him from the bar to “preserve his innocence” when really, Goku had wanted Gojyo to drag him from the bar to corrupt his innocence. But now, when Goku had Gojyo almost exactly where he wanted him, his nerve was all set to flee.

“A kissing game?” Goku clutched the bowl to his chest as if it were the only barrier that could save him from Gojyo’s advances.

“Yeah, a kissing game. Since you’re so keen on that cream I thought we could put it to good use.” Gojyo paused and dipped two fingers into the cream. “Like, I put this cream somewhere on my body and you lick it off then kiss where the cream was. Got it?” As if to demonstrate, Gojyo touched his cream covered fingers to his cheek then leaned towards Goku.

“You want me to lick it off then kiss you?”

“Uh-huh.” Gojyo nodded.

Goku swallowed. It was now or never. He tentatively leaned forward and licked the cream from Gojyo’s cheek, then placed a quick kiss on the damp skin.

“Aww, you can do better than that, can’t you?” Gojyo wiped the remaining cream on his other cheek and Goku repeated his action, extending the kiss slightly.

“Hmm, better but not quite.” Gojyo scooped some more cream and smeared it onto his lips. He watched Goku hesitate then suddenly lurch forward, swipe his tongue across Gojyo’s lips then press down with his own lips.

Goku remained motionless, his lips mashed against Gojyo’s. His first proper kiss and he had no idea what to do next, so he whimpered. Just a small sound in the back of his throat but he hoped it was enough to alert Gojyo to his panic. If Gojyo took over, everything would be fine. If Gojyo didn’t take over, it was probably because Gojyo was too busy laughing at him to do anything else and future teasing would be merciless. Goku screwed his eyes shut, fearing the outcome. The last thing he expected was to feel a hand gently cup the back of his head and another hand rub his shoulder reassuringly, but that was exactly what he did feel. In his surprise, he gasped and felt something else new and unexpected – Gojyo’s tongue lightly tapping against his. Goku opened his eyes a fraction the closed them again when he saw that Gojyo’s eyes were shut. The hand massaging his shoulder relaxed him and he felt as though he were melting into the kiss.

Gojyo was surprised at just how nice it felt to be kissing Goku. He had noticed that the boy had grown into a fine young man, but only from the viewpoint of admiring a finely sculpted body. Actual physical attraction hadn’t really entered his mind before tonight although now that it had, he found himself to be very aroused by the idea of taking this good looking young man to his bed. Of course he knew that if Sanzo had any inkling that Gojyo was thinking this way, he’d find himself staring at the end of the monk’s gun, with a bullet rapidly heading towards his forehead. But Sanzo didn’t need to know about this, did he? Goku would surely see the sense in not running to blab to his keeper if they did take this further, wouldn’t he? An unpleasant image flashed in his mind of Goku cheerfully announcing at breakfast the next morning that he was no longer a virgin and pointing at Gojyo. No, that absolutely could not be allowed to happen. It was with a great deal of regret that Gojyo ended the kiss and stroked Goku’s cheek.

“Do you want more cream?” Goku asked eagerly, holding the bowl out to Gojyo.

“No, I don’t want more cream. I think we should go to bed now.” Gojyo spotted the startled look in Goku’s eyes and hastened to clarify. “To sleep. In our own beds. Not touching each other.”

“But…” Goku attempted to argue but was stopped by Gojyo giving him a quick peck on the lips.

“I’m sorry, Goku. You’re not ready to play with the big boys yet. Maybe sometime in the future.” Gojyo gave Goku an apologetic look then rose from the bed and walked through to the bathroom.

Goku sighed. On the one hand, he was disappointed but on the other hand, relieved. He was still bursting with curiosity, particularly after that kiss but perhaps Gojyo was too much for him. He needed someone a little more reserved, someone more like Hakkai. He looked down at his dessert and shrugged his shoulders.

“Waste not want not!” and he shovelled the rest of the food hungrily into his mouth, already coming up with a plan to seduce Hakkai.
