Spoiling for a Fight

[A/N: Thought I'd try something different. There just isn't enough written about Gojyo and Goku! :D

Edit: Oh god...appalling spelling errors corrected (and that one where I got Gojyo and Hakkai mixed up - thanks for pointing that out! :D). That'll teach me to be over-enthusiastic and post whilst drunk.]

Something was brewing. He didn't know what, but Gojyo knew something was wrong. Goku had been trying to pick fights with him all day, using every possible tactic to be irritating, argumentative and downright annoying. It wasn't unusual for the two of them to squabble, but this felt different. It was usually boredom that led to their fights, but not that day. Gojyo couldn't quite put his finger on it, it almost seemed that Goku was serious. Goading Gojyo into fights deliberately. But why?

It had started at breakfast that morning. Hakkai and Sanzo carefully examined the map, deciding the route they would be taking, Hakuryu nibbled at the remains of Hakkai's breakfast, Gojyo flirted with the serving girl on breakfast duty and Goku sat eating quietly. Until Gojyo stood to escort the serving girl out of the breakfast room at the end of her shift. Then Goku kicked Gojyo's shin. Hard.

"What the fuck was that for you little bastard?" angrily rubbing his leg, Gojyo glared at Goku. Gojyo lunged for Goku, who in turn jumped to his feet and ran from the breakfast room. The serving girl forgotten in his ire, Gojyo gave chase. Luckily his long legs gave him an advantage and he caught Goku just outside the inn.

“I’m gonna pound you into the ground for that, monkey!” Gojyo raised his fist to strike Goku, but Goku managed to wriggle out of his grasp, scampered down the main street and disappeared behind a building.

“Get back here, you little shit!”

Shortly after that, Sanzo dictated that they were leaving and yelled for Goku to “get in the damned Jeep or be left behind”. Goku emerged from his hiding place and jumped into the back of the vehicle, grinning at Gojyo. Gojyo gave him a filthy look and made himself as comfortable as he could.

After the incident at breakfast, Goku took every opportunity to niggle at and provoke Gojyo into a fight. Sanzo allowed them the first couple of times before losing his temper and banning the both of them from talking.

“He started it!” Gojyo whined, pointing at Goku.

“Shut up! I don’t care who started it, but if I hear another sound from either of you, I’ll be the one to end it. Permanently.”

And so the fighting stopped. For a short time. The group stopped to have some lunch at the side of the road and once they had all eaten their fill they took the chance for a small rest. At least, Sanzo and Hakkai rested and Gojyo tried, however Goku it seemed, had other ideas.

“Hey pervert,” Goku dropped down on the grass beside Gojyo and poked him in the ribs. “Whatcha up to?”

“Oi! Quit poking me. Are you bored or something?”

Goku continued to poke Gojyo, trying to get a rise out of the man but to his credit, Gojyo remained as calm as he was able to and swatted Goku’s finger away from his side. Goku sighed in frustration and jabbed his elbow into Gojyo’s stomach.

“That’s it!” Gojyo swivelled around, grabbed Goku’s arms and pinned him down so he sprawled flat on his back. He frowned down at Goku’s prone form.

“You’re beginning to really piss me off. Quit it.” certain his message got across, Gojyo let go of the boy, stood and stomped off in the direction of Jeep.

Once on the road again, Goku appeared to calm down for a while – enough even to take a nap. In repose, it was hard to believe how annoying Goku could be. Not that he was annoying all of the time. In fact some of the time the monkey could almost be called cute with his wide-eyed innocence, so different from Gojyo’s jaded and cynical outlook on the world. Gojyo snorted to himself. Had he really just thought of Goku as cute?

"Why are you leering at me like that, pervert?" Goku had opened one eye and was looking at Gojyo.

"Dream on, I wasn't leering at you. Why would I want to even look at your ugly mug when I can admire the beautiful scenery?"

Goku punched Gojyo in the arm, initiating another scuffle in the back of Jeep. The pair slapped and batted at each other until they found their ears ringing from the blows from Sanzo's fan. Goku gave Gojyo a sour look, folded his arms and hunched down in his seat to sulk.

"What's with you today?" Gojyo asked. Unable to reach a town by nightfall, the group were forced to set up camp. After dinner had been prepared and eaten, Goku had taken himself off into the forrest, telling the others he wanted to take a walk. Gojyo gave him a few minutes head start, then followed, intending to question Goku about his behaviour. He found his target sitting on a fallen log.

"Nothing's with me today. What's with you?" Goku's eyes twinkled mischievously.

Gojyo sighed. Whatever caused Goku's current mood, he hoped it would sort itself out.

"Are you deliberately trying to piss me off?"

Goku said nothing, just stared at Gojyo. It made Gojyo feel self-conscious and awkward. Goku was looking at him as though he were food.

"What? What? Stop staring!" Gojyo pushed Goku's shoulder, trying to divert the boy's attention away from him but instead, it appeared to give Goku the idea that Gojyo wanted to play.

"I'm not staring - you are!" and with that, Goku launched himself at Gojyo and the pair toppled to the ground.

Gojyo was too surprised to react at first, and that allowed Goku to land a few hard punches before he came to his senses. He grappled with Goku's hands, trying to pin them behind his back, but Goku was a slippery customer and evaded Gojyo's grabs, instead making a few of his own. The two of them rolled around the forest floor, dead leaves and twigs getting tangled in their hair. Goku managed to get the upper hand and sat on Gojyo's stomach, knees on either side of his ribcage and hands planted on the ground just above Gojyo's shoulders, effectively trapping the man.

Goku and Gojyo, both panting from exertion glared at each other. Gojyo lifted his hips to try to dislodge Goku. Goku reacted with a low growl and moved both hands to grip Gojyo's hair. He pulled the man's head back, leaned down and sank his teeth into Gojyo's neck, earning a startled yelp. Gojyo raised his arms to push Goku off, but stopped when he felt...

Goku circled his hips, grinding himself against Gojyo's stomach. Although not applying his teeth hard enough to pierce skin and draw blood, Goku's mouth was still attached to Gojyo's neck although the biting had turned into a sort of suckling.

Gojyo almost panicked. Almost but not quite. His surprise increased when he felt Goku's arousal, jabbing him in the stomach. So the monkey was horny? Did he get off on fighting or something? Either way, Gojyo felt he was on safer ground. This was something he hnew how to deal with. Okay, so he'd never really considered getting intimate with Goku but he certainly wasn't opposed to it. The youngster had grown into a handsome young man, he quite clearly had some sort of crush on Gojyo and most importantly, Gojyo couldn't resist an innocent.

Moving slowly and carefully, Gojyo brought his hands up and cradled the back of Goku's head, burying his fingers in soft hair. He pressed his lips to Goku's cheek and gently kissed him. He felt the boy stiffen in his arms the wriggle out of Gojyo's grasp, no longer sucking his neck.

"What are you doing? You...you," Goku wiped his face in disgust. "You pervert!"

Goku scrambled to his feet, adopting a fighting stance. Gojyo remained where he was, confused and speechless. He was certain he hadn't misread the situation. Goku had been coming onto him. Hadn't he? Gojyo combed his fingers through his hair, unsure of what to say or do.

"Shit Goku, I thought that-" he struggled to his feet and dusted himself off. "Thought you were coming onto me or something."

"Ew! As if." despite his denial, Goku blushed.

"Can you blame me? I mean, there you were rubbing yourself all over me and sucking on my neck. You were either trying to seduce me or you're some kind of vampire."

Goku flushed even deeper and dropped his arms to his side. Gojyo took a step towards him and Goku took a step backwards, shaking his head.

"I-I'm sorry," he stuttered. "I don't know what came over me."

Gojyo reached out towards Goku, but the boy flinched away from him.

"Hey listen, don't worry about it. I misunderstood what was happening. No harm done." he attempted a reassuring smile. "Uh, so you wanna head back to camp? There are probably some leftovers."

Gojyo moved to walk around Goku to make his way back to camp.

"Wait..."

Gojyo looked down at the hand clamped around his wrist then up at the blushing owner.

"I want..I was trying to, but I chickened out."

Gojyo wanted to laugh at the doleful look on Goku's face but he didn't, instead he hooked his hand around the boy's neck and pulled him close.

"What do you want?" he felt Goku shrug. Okay, he probably wouldn't get an answer for that kind of question, time to try a different approach. He moved his hand to cup Goku's chin and tilted his head upwards. Bright, wide eyes gazed up at Gojyo, full of innocence and wonder. Gojyo brushed his thumb over Goku's lips and leaned in close.

"Trust me, Goku." and Gojyo kissed him.

The kiss started softly with Gojyo giving fleeting nips to Goku's lips. Gojyo wrapped his arms around Goku and licked along the seam of his lips, then waggled his tongue between and into Goku's mouth to flick the tip of his tongue against Goku's.

Goku was nothing if not a quick study and soon learned how to reciprocate, kissing Gojyo back with enthusiasm. When Gojyo's hand grasped Goku's backside, Goku mirrored the action. Likewise, when Gojyo started to grind against Goku, Goku ground back, when Gojyo deepened the kiss, Goku allowed him to and when Gojyo groaned, Goku did the same.

They sank to the forest floor without breaking their kiss. Gojyo kneeled on the dry ground and pulled Goku to straddle his lap. He brushed his knuckles over the front of Goku's trousers, lightly stroking the hardness he found there.

"Ohh!" Goku moaned and shuddered into Gojyo's mouth. Gojyo smirked into the kiss whilst licking the length of Goku's tongue and wrapping his hand around Goku's arousal, eliciting a longer, deeper moan.

"Gojyo..." Gojyo's hand had found its way beneath Goku's clothing and was now directly massaging hot, hard flesh. To his delight, it appeared as though Goku was enjoying himself, judging by the harsh breaths and sharp gasps coming from the boy. In fact, Goku appeared to be quite unable to concentrate on the kiss, instead he threw his head back and bucked into Gojyo's grasp.

Ignoring his own growing arousal, Gojyo focussed his attention entirely upon his partner. While one hand pumped at Goku's erection, the other squeezed and massaged his buttocks; his lips travelled over Goku's neck, licking, kissing, sucking. All too soon, Gojyo heard a muffled sob and felt the tell-tale pulsing of Goku's cock and the wetness of his orgasm.

Now spent, Goku flopped in Gojyo's arms, rubbing his face against the man's chest. Gojyo used his clean hand to stroke and pet Goku's hair.

"Hey," Gojyo nudged the boy in his arms when he heard a stifled yawn. "You okay?"

"Sleepy."

"Why don't we head back to camp then and you can have a rest?" he felt Goku's nodding response and helped the boy to his feet, cleaned him up then led him back to camp. Before they passed out of the forest, Gojyo paused then leaned down to give Goku one last kiss.

"Next time, just ask instead of trying to pick a fight with me all day."

Goku chuckled in response and playfully pinched Gojyo's arm.

The end
