In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes

Sanzo glanced in the review mirror and quickly looked away as golden eyes connected with his, angry that a small blush had managed to make its way onto his cheeks. It had been like this for several weeks now; the blonde couldn’t quite recall when he’d started getting butterflies in his stomach when he looked at Goku. All he knew was that it was fucking annoying. With a low growl the priest slouched down in his seat and lit up a cigarette, ignoring the mild glance from Hakkai.

“You damn kappa! You’re taking up the whole of the backseat. Move over, you long-legged freak!” Goku’s voice rang out clearly, making Sanzo’s eyebrow twitch.

“I’m taking up the whole seat? I’m not the one sprawled all over the place. Maybe if you could sit still like a normal human being it wouldn’t be a problem. Can’t monkeys be still, or something?” At Gojyo’s retort Sanzo crushed out his cigarette and shifted slightly in his seat.

“I’m not a mon --”

WHACK!

WHACK!

“Shut the hell up, you morons, before I kill you!” The blonde glared at the pair cowering in the backseat, hand clenched on his harisen. Once again as lavender clashed with gold he felt his stomach clench; with a snarl Sanzo turned and sank down into his seat. “Now shut your mouths, damn it!”

Thankfully, both of the idiots in the back seat kept quiet for the rest of the afternoon and after several hours of peace Hakkai spoke.

“According to the map there should be a fair sized town just half an hour from here. It’s big enough to have a decent sized inn with a restaurant.”

The jeep rocked as Goku jumped up. “Food! I’m starving. Please say we can go there Sanzo! I need food, I’m like dying here.”

The priest sat silently for a moment, just long enough to make the others worried and then said, “Very well. There’d better be four rooms because I’m not sleeping in the same room as you lot tonight.”

Luckily, it turned out that the inn did have four rooms, and as soon as possible Sanzo made his way up to the room; slamming the door once he’d crossed over the threshold. Moving across to the window he lit up a cigarette and stared tiredly out of the dirty glass. Taking a long drag and then exhaling Sanzo let himself get lost in his thoughts. How had Goku gained the ability to fluster him in such a way? He was still the irritating monkey who whined for food constantly but somehow Sanzo could suddenly see the man underneath that immediate layer. This sudden appreciation probably also had something to do with the fact that Goku had taken to sleeping in just his shorts, so every night Sanzo’s eyes were able to feast on the wealth of golden skin and muscle that the teen possessed.

**He’s been hanging out with the kappa too much**. Sanzo thought sourly. **Got into the same habit of not having any fucking modesty.**

At the soft knock on his door Sanzo automatically raised his gun to point steadily at the wood. “What the hell do you want?”

“Sanzo?” Goku’s voice came muffled through the door. “Are you coming down to dinner? Hakkai says that we can’t start without you an’ I’m starving!!”

The priest rolled his eyes and crushed out the end of his cigarette before striding over to the door. Opening it, he glared down at Goku. “All right I’m coming, you bottomless pit.”

As he moved down the hallway Sanzo pretended not to hear Goku’s muttered, “What bug crawled up his ass?” but instead reasoned once more that his charge had been spending far too much time in Gojyo’s company.


Dinner was the usual affair with Gojyo and Goku arguing loudly over who got to eat what and Sanzo eating as little as possible while under Hakkai’s watchful gaze.

“I need to gather some supplies at some point Sanzo,” said the green-eyed man politely whilst feeding Hakuryuu a piece of meat. “We’re running low on medical supplies and several other things.”

Wordlessly Sanzo held out the gold card but frowned when it wasn’t taken. “What, surely you don’t expect me to go?”

Hakkai coughed his it-wouldn’t-hurt-you-to-do-it cough, but replied mildly. “Of course not Sanzo. It’s just that the shops will all be shut by now. It shall have to be done tomorrow.”

“Well, then do it tomorrow morning, before we leave.” Sanzo said slowly as though he was explaining to a child, it was unlike Hakkai to be bothering him about something like this.

“I need a fair few things. I’m not sure how long it will take me to find everything. A few of the medical items in particular could take me a while to track down.”

“Hakkai, are you trying to imply we should rest here for a day?” When the brunette looked steadily back at him, giving off a sense of shock that Sanzo would even suggest such a thing, the priest sighed. “Fine, we’ll stay here tomorrow. Just don’t forget to pick me up another pack of cigarettes.”

“Of course not,” Hakkai replied before turning his attention back to his soup. A small smile of triumph may have come on to his face but it was gone before Sanzo could tell for sure.

Sanzo stared suspiciously at the healer for a moment longer before shrugging off the feeling that he’d just been had. His gaze then flickered to the pair across the table that were still bickering. Gojyo was holding a spring roll just out of Goku’s immediate reach and, as the younger man stretched to reach it, protesting loudly, his t-shirt rode up bearing his flat stomach to the world. Odd feelings swam in Sanzo’s stomach and before he registered what was happening the priest’s chopsticks had clattered to the floor, hand moving to grip his gun, and then he was firing off a round of bullets.

“Would the two of you pack it in?” he snapped. “Would it kill you for once to eat just one meal in peace so that I don’t have to listen to your incessant bickering? Change the fucking record already because you’re pissing me off.”

“Wow, someone obviously hasn’t got laid recently. Get that pole outta your ass, priest. The monkey and I were just blowing off some steam.” Gojyo drawled.

Sanzo raised his gun to point steadily at the redhead, his gaze deadly serious. “Not one more word, you moron, or else.”

Apparently Gojyo didn’t know when to quit because he got a dark gleam in his eyes and clearly said, “Or else, what? Asshole.”

Sanzo squeezed the trigger and, at the kappa’s yell of pain, he stood and stormed out of the restaurant. Once he was back in the safety of his room, the priest shrugged off his robe and moodily threw it in the corner. The material was too thick to crease so no one would see any evidence of his temper tantrum the next morning. The blonde flopped down on the bed with a loud groan and squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn’t go on like this for much longer, and he hated losing control of his emotions.

Sanzo jerked into an upright position as the door of his room crashed open and Goku strode in, the tension in his muscles showing how angry the teen was.

**This is not the time** thought Sanzo as his belly clenched once more **it’s ridiculous to get turned on just because the monkey looks kind of hot when he’s angry.**

“What the hell just happened, Sanzo?” Goku asked waving an arm at the door. “You actually hit Gojyo y’know. He’s an annoying idiot but he didn’t deserve to be shot.”

“I’m sure I didn’t do anything that Hakkai can’t fix,” Sanzo sneered as he began to dig in his pocket for his cigarettes.

The short brunette’s jaw clenched for a moment before saying, “You caught him across his collarbone. ‘Kai’s already healed it but that isn’t the point, Sanzo. What is your problem recently? You’ve been in a shitty mood for weeks now. I’ve kept my mouth shut until tonight but now I can’t. The other two aren’t going to do anything, but I’ve had enough.”

Sanzo raised an eyebrow, his lip curling. “You really have been spending too much time with the kappa, you’re starting to sound like him, Goku. You’ve never questioned my actions before.”

“That’s because you’ve never acted so stupid before,” Goku howled. “You know I’d follow you anywhere and do anything for you, Sanzo, but I ain’t gonna stand by and say nothing when you actually start shooting people. And would you rather it was Hakkai here having this conversation with you?”

Sanzo pondered that suggestion for a minute and just barely managed to suppress himself from visibly shuddering. The supposedly placid brunette was by far and away the most terrifying being he’d ever encountered.

“I don’t have to explain myself to you. And if you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave this room right now.” When the younger man didn’t move lavender eyes narrowed dangerously. “I’ve already shot one person tonight don’t push me or you will be the second.”

The brunette turned and pushed the door shut, locking it. The lock clicked in the now deathly silent room.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Sanzo growled lowly.

“Do you know what I think?” Goku ignored the blonde’s question and didn’t bother to wait for the answer to his own. “I think you’re shit scared because you’ve realised that you’re attracted to me and don’t know what to do about it.”

Sanzo’s head jerked back and he let out a low pained moan as his head connected with the wall behind him. “You have no idea what you’re talking about. I suggest that you leave this second.”

Rather than doing what the priest suggested Goku started to move closer his hips swaying noticeably with each step. “Do you really think I’m that much of an idiot, Sanzo? That I wouldn’t notice the little signs? That I wouldn’t smell your arousal? And do you really think - now that I know you want me - I’m going to hold back from going after what I’ve wanted for years?”

Lavender eyes flickered to the corner where his robe lay containing his gun. **I knew I was going to regret giving into my temper like that** Sanzo thought wearily as he looked back at Goku who was almost at the bed.

“I don’t give a damn about what you think you know, monkey. Even if you were right there is no way it would work between us. You’re too young, for starters.”

Gold clashed with purple as Goku’s expression stayed unusually serious. Sanzo froze as a slight hand curled round the back of his neck.

“You’re losing your touch if that’s the best reason you can come up with, Sanzo. I’m no longer a child in any sense of the word and I know what I want. You.”

The blonde’s head swam as he spluttered. “I… I don’t know what you want from me Goku but I can’t…” Before he could finish the hand on the back of his neck tugged and Sanzo’s lips softly met Goku’s.

For a minute he sat frozen unable to believe what his charge had done. Once he regained his senses, Sanzo tried to move back but Goku’s hold tightened minutely, telling the priest that he wasn’t going to be let go until the brunette was satisfied. He parted his lips to protest at the treatment but was silenced as a slick tongue made its way into his mouth. Sanzo let out a muffled noise of surprise and lost himself in the sensation of the kiss, his head swirling.

Finally, just as Sanzo thought he couldn’t take anymore, Goku drew back with a smug look on his face. The brunette licked his lips in a manner that he only did when he’d just eaten something extra tasty.

“There, that wasn’t so bad now was it ?” Goku husked, his eyes shining brightly with lust.

“You moron – “ Sanzo started to yell but was cut off by another kiss.

The shorter man leant back, rocking slightly on his heels as he contemplated the bemused blonde. “Every time you even think about protesting I’m gonna kiss you to shut you up.”

Sanzo wasn’t entirely sure whether this was a threat or a promise but before he could even think of retorting soft lips caressed his once more. This time the priest parted his lips immediately, but before Goku could take control, he slid his tongue into the brunette’s mouth, dominating the kiss.

“Damn it, monkey, if you’re going to insist on doing this I’m the one in charge.” Sanzo snapped as he drew back.

Goku blinked at the sudden change in attitude but quickly grinned. “That’s the way I like it.”

The blonde almost snapped out a retort automatically but changed his mind and dragged Goku to the bed crushing his lips to the younger man’s yet again. It was going to be a long night.

***

The next morning at breakfast was an awkward affair. Goku was constantly shifting in his seat trying to get comfortable and Sanzo was aware at the other two shooting deadly looks at him from across the table. Finally, he stood and offered the gold credit card to Hakkai who silently took it.

“Get all the supplies you need. I don’t want to stop in once place again anytime soon.” Sanzo turned to go and then looked back at the table. “And Gojyo, get yourself several packs of cigarettes. I don’t need to hear your whining, either.”

Red eyes widened as Gojyo realised that was as close to apologising as Sanzo was ever going to get. “Yeah man, I’ll make sure to do that.”

“Goku, are you going to come up?” Sanzo asked, making his voice deliberately nonchalant.

“But Sano I haven’t – “ Goku shot him a look and then bit back a grin, “I mean yeah I’m done here.”

The blonde allowed himself a small smile as the monkey raced up the stairs past him. Okay maybe allowing someone close wasn’t so bad after all.

***

The next month passed fairly smoothly for the group. Outwardly, it didn’t seem like much had changed, and if Sanzo was less quick to anger, no one dared to point it out.

Currently they were travelling through the forest and the priest kept a close watch on the trees around him feeling uneasy, knowing from the tense way that Hakkai was sitting that the healer felt it too.

“Sanzo, I’m hungry!” Goku called from the back.

“Honestly, monkey do you ever think about anything but your stomach?” Gojyo retorted.

Goku hesitated for a moment. “Of course I do! But right now I’m starving. I need food.”

The bickering continued for several more minutes and Sanzo tried to block it out, preferring to concentrate on their surroundings.

“You stupid kappa, you had a chocolate bar all along but you didn-” Sanzo turned around abruptly as Goku’s sentence cut off with a choked gargle and Gojyo let out a surprised cry. Lavender eyes widened as they took in the fact that the young brunette was bleeding profusely from a large hole in his neck.

“Hakkai stop the jeep now!” Sanzo screamed, and instantly Hakkai brought the vehicle to a screeching halt.

“What the fuck happened?” Gojyo asked hoarsely.

Sanzo turned on the redhead bearing his teeth. “That’s what I want to know. You’re the one who was back here. You must have seen!”

Suddenly Hakkai pushed through the middle of them. “If you could stop bickering for a moment, gentlemen, there is a more pressing issue to deal with.” The healer put his hands on Goku’s neck and a pale green light suddenly appeared. The brunette let out a low hiss. “Damn it the bullet is still in there, and it appears to have scattered.”

“What the fuck does that mean?” Sanzo hissed but drew back as Hakkai shot him a dangerous look.

“I believe I told you there was a more pressing issue to deal with.” As the other tilted his head the priest turned and saw that several youkai had appeared behind them.

“Priest Sanzo, hand over the sutra and maybe we won’t kill you too,” the leader of the group called out, a huge grin plastered on his face.

Before Sanzo could respond Gojyo had shot past him, weapon in hand. “No one but me is allowed to abuse the monkey!” he roared. Then, with a flick of his wrist the redhead wiped out five of their attackers.

With a vicious snarl the priest shot six times, each bang followed by the thump of a body. “You fools.”

Minutes later only one of the assassins was left cowering against a tree, looking fearfully up at Sanzo. “What did you do to Goku?”

The youkai licked his lips and then began to babble. “It was a bullet that shatters when it enters a person’s body. It releases a liquid that means the wound can’t start to heal until every single fragment of it has been removed.”

“Moron.” Sanzo rolled his eyes and shot the demon before turning back to Hakkai. “Did you hear that? Every single shard of the bullet has to be removed.”

“Yes Sanzo, I heard.” Hakkai replied sweat rolling off his forehead as he worked. “It’s my eye that’s damaged, not my hearing.”

“Is there anything that I can do to help?” Gojyo asked, his mouth a grim slash and looking pale.

Hakkai swallowed and didn’t take his eyes of his patient. “Just get us to a inn and quickly!”

“I’ll drive.” Sanzo instantly said, his head roaring for him to get Goku to safety.

“No!!” Both Hakkai and Gojyo yelled in tandem, both remembering the last time that the priest drove.

Sanzo didn’t argue the point. All he wanted was to get Goku to safety. Jeep sped off and the priest spent the journey swallowing down a sick feeling that wasn’t entirely due to Gojyo’s reckless driving.

Once they reached a village that had an inn in Gojyo abruptly stopped Jeep and ran into the building. Seconds later he dashed back out.

“They’ve got three rooms! Quick Sanzo you go pay while we get Goku up into one of them.”

The blonde clenched his teeth at he watched the other two gently lift the young brunette and carry him away. With a low growl Sanzo stalked in and thrust the gold card at the scared young woman standing behind the counter.

The priest moved up the stairs and claimed one of the rooms to himself, slamming the door behind him. Moving across to the window, his fingers clenched at the windowsill and his eyes squeezed shut. “I just knew it was too good to be true. This always fucking happens.”

Hours later Sanzo was almost in exactly the same position, one hand now lifting a cigarette to his lips, when the door opened and Gojyo walked in.

“He’s out of danger,” the redhead said, his voice low and strained. “I’ve made Hakkai go have a nap in the other room. But I thought you’d want to know that he’s gonna be okay.”

The blonde let out a shuddery breath and muttered, “Great.”

“Great? That’s all you’ve got to say?” Gojyo asked stepping closer. “I thought you’d be more relieved about it. After all I know you and the monkey are-” he cut off quickly.

“You knew the monkey and I are what?” Sanzo questioned turning to face the hanyou.

Gojyo paused at the look in Sanzo’s eyes and swallowed. “Nothing. I know nothing.”

“Yeah. Remember that, moron,” Sanzo growled and looked back out of the window.

***

The next day the priest sat at the table in his room reading the newspaper when Hakkai walked in, carrying a tray of food.

“I didn’t think that you’d have gone down to eat yourself, and you didn’t join Gojyo and I for breakfast.” The tray was sent down with a gentle thump and Hakkai started to pour the tea. “I also thought you would like to know that Goku has woken up.”

Sanzo shot a look at the healer over the top of his glasses. “Okay then.”

Hakkai blinked and the offered a cup to Sanzo. “He’s been asking for you.”

“Really?” Sanzo asked mildly as he took a sip. “And what am I meant to do?”

The corners of the brunette’s smile tightened minutely. “Going and seeing him may be a good plan.”

“I don’t see how it’ll help his recovery.” Purple eyes flicked back to the paper.

“Oh really Sanzo?” Hakkai inquired his voice overly polite.

The blonde sighed. “Fine, I’ll go see him when I’ve finished my paper if you really think it’s a good idea.”

Hakkai left without another word.

Half an hour later Sanzo could resist no longer and went to Goku’s room. Slowly he pushed the door open, half hoping that the teen was asleep. Then he could look at him for a moment before leaving again.

“Sanzo!!” Goku cried as soon as the priest stepped into the room.

**Well there goes that plan** Sanzo thought wearily as he made his way to the bed, noting that the other two were also present.

“You’re alive, then,” he said coldly while his eyes roved over the young body, taking in every mark.

“Yep!” Goku chirped, a wide smile on his face. “’Kai says I should be okay to move in five days.”

“Make it two. I don’t want to stay in this shit hole any longer than I have to.” Sanzo lifted a cigarette to his lips and was about to light it when a slender hand gripped his wrist halting the movement.

“Really Sanzo. A sick room is no place to smoke.” Hakkai had his usual smile in place but his green eyes were blank. “And if I say a patient needs five days to rest, he needs five days. Not two, not three but five. Okay?” The healer let out a little laugh even as he took Sanzo’s cigarette and crushed it in one hand.

The blonde stared at the other man for a minute before growling lowly. “Five days it is.”

Goku looked at the two men worriedly. “I’m sure that I’ll be good to go in three days, Hakkai. I mean I’m just sitting in the back of the jeep.”

Hakkai turned to look at the younger brunette, his smile transforming into a genuine one. “And what happens if we get attacked, Goku? No, it has to be five days.”

With a snarl Sanzo walked out of the room and made his way out of the inn to walk his frustration off.

**I’m not got to let it happen again. No one is going to die again because I love them.**

***

Five days later the group were once again back out on the road. Goku had made a steady recovery and Hakkai had okayed him to be travelling again.

Over the past few days Sanzo had gone to see Goku briefly each day, getting colder with every visit. The monkey was clearly confused and hurt by his attitude and the other two were showing their displeasure at him in their individual ways. Hakkai being overly polite and scary while Gojyo was more abusive than normal. Still the blonde figured it was worth it as long as it meant Goku stayed alive.

Today they had made good pace, not one single group of assassins had tried their luck, and now it was time that they stopped and set up camp.

The priest sat on the edge of the campsite smoking idly as he watched the other three organise dinner. A small frown made its way onto his face as he noted how they were interacting. While they’d always been close things seemed different tonight. The looks that Hakkai was shooting Goku seemed softer and friendlier than normal. The way that Gojyo was touching the monkey seemed awfully intimate and Goku was accepting the touch where he’d normally be yelling about not wanting ‘kappa cooties’ on him.

Sanzo gritted his teeth together and deliberately looked away. If the monkey had already moved on, then good for him, it made the blonde’s job that much easier. He ignored the little voice inside his head that said he was lying to himself.

***

Sano managed to keep up the act of not caring for a few days longer despite the fact his blood boiled every time he saw one of the others touch Goku. However, things came to a head a week later. It was the first night they’d found an inn since they’d left the last one, and the group was sitting around a table eating their fill. Hakkai and Gojyo were still being hostile to the priest while Goku seemed to act the same as ever, apart from the fact that it was the other two he went to when he needed something.

Sanzo was just about to take a bite of his meal when he heard Goku ask.

“Gojyo, do you mind if I take the last spring roll?”

There was a moments pause before the redhead stuttered out, “N- no, it’s all yours, monkey.”

“Cheers!” Goku leaned forward to pick up the roll not seeming to notice lavender eyes watching him in disbelief.

The silence lasted a moment longer before Sanzo stood with a snort. “Moron.” He hissed before striding away.

Trying to ignore the feeling of déjà vu as he stormed into his room Sanzo flopped onto his bed. If this was anything like last time the monkey would come into his room right about –

“Sanzo!” – now.

“What is it Goku?” he asked without sitting up.

“I just…” Goku hesitated, “I just want to know what’s wrong.”

“Nothing is wrong Goku,” Sanzo said with a sigh. “I’m tired is all.”

“I don’t get it Sanzo,” Goku cried, frustration obvious in his voice, running a hand through his hair. “All week I’ve been trying to… but I guess that don’t matter really. It hasn’t worked.”

The teen went to leave the room but Sanzo moved quickly grabbing Goku’s arm. “What have you been trying to do?” he asked hoarsely.

The brunette turned his head so that Sanzo couldn’t look him in the eyes. “I’ve been trying to smarten myself up a little and get stronger. So that you’d want me again, y’know? I know me getting hurt like that before really pissed you off. I’m so freakin’ weak. That’s why I’ve been hanging with Hakkai and Gojyo, I wanna be better for you!”

The passionate speech was cut off as the priest tugged Goku back into his arms. “You little fool.”

“Sanzo? What…?”

“I’ve been drawing back because I didn’t want you to get hurt because of me. Everyone I’ve ever loved has died. I didn’t want you to be next,” Sanzo whispered into Goku’s ear not wanting the other two to hear because they were most likely listening at the door. “I’ve been going mad watching you with those two and thinking you’d moved on.”

“Moved on?” Goku twisted around his jaw dropping. “With those two? Hell ! Sanzo. I… I’ve been getting them to educate me about shit. Like I’ve been sparring with Gojyo in the evenings and Hakkai’s been teaching me about stuff. Especially about one dude called Shakespeare. Thought maybe if I wrote you something clever like one of his sonnets you’d forgive me for being a moron.”

The blonde bit back a grin at the idea of Goku trying to decipher Shakespearian English and drew the younger man back to the bed and onto his lap. “So did you write me one?”

“Well yeah.” Goku shifted slightly, obviously embarrassed. “But it ain’t very good.”

“Tell it to me anyway.”

The brunette took a deep breath and then began to speak.

“The sun does shine brightly on your golden hair,
When I see you my heart it beats so loudly:
When your lavender eyes catch mine with a glare,
I’m not fazed for I know you look at me proudly:
The journey we are taking may be long,
Through these days we may lose sight of one another,
But if anything was ever truly wrong,
I’d be by your side faster than any other:
So what I mean to say with these clumsy lines,
Is I am with you through the bad and good times.”

Sanzo was silent for a moment, taking in the sonnet and Goku quickly blurted out. “I mean, I know you ain’t always proud of me an stuff but I’m really hoping we can get to a stage where you are and… well, yeah.”

Gently, the blonde tugged the younger man’s head round and kissed him softly. “Goku, I am always proud of you. I don’t find it easy to show it but I am. I love you.”

The brunette gaped at him momentarily. “But then why did you?”

“Because the thought of losing you scared me. I didn’t think I could cope with losing someone else I loved, so drawing away seemed like the best idea.” He paused. “If you tell either of the other two that I said any of this you will die – painfully.”

“I wouldn’t tell. I like the idea I’m the only one who gets to see ya this way.” Goku flushed brightly and Sanzo was unable to resist drawing him down for another deep kiss.

Goku moaned and turned in the older man’s lap so that they were facing each other, making it easier to deepen the kiss further. Sanzo groaned as a slick tongue made its way into his mouth.

The brunette pushed on Sanzo’s shoulders and he fell smoothly back onto the bed, feeling Goku rearrange his weight so that he was on all fours above him. Sanzo groaned breaking the kiss as his head arched back at the feel of Goku’s hips rolling into his. Not missing a beat, a hot wet mouth started to suckle on the pale exposed neck, causing Sanzo’s breath to hitch. Before tonight he’d always been the one on top and leading things. Encountering Goku’s dominant side was more thrilling than he’d believed it could be.

Nimble hands started to work on the sash that was tied at his waist and within seconds the thick material was being pushed to the side. Goku nibbled up Sanzo’s jaw line and then meshed their lips together once more.

“Ah, Goku!” the priest hissed and bucked as one of the brunette’s slender hands cupped his erection through the material of his jeans.

Goku just grinned down at him and then slid his way down the slender body beneath him. Sanzo bit his lip hard as he felt the zipper of his jeans being drawn down slowly and then the material was being tugged down off his body.

“I love seeing the evidence of how much you want me.” Goku licked his lips and traced a finger up the thick vein on the underside of Sanzo’s cock scooping up a droplet of precome that was oozing out. “You look so decadent laying there like that. Legs spread and still half-dressed.”

The blonde panted with lust as Goku suckled at his finger. “Decadent? You really must have been studying hard with Hakkai.”

Apparently, his lover decided that actions counted more than words and Sanzo let out a hoarse cry as a hot mouth sucked him all the way down. A hand gently cupped and squeezed his balls making the priest thrash his head.

“Goku, I’m going to come if you keep doing that,” he warned.

The younger man pulled away, licking at his lips in such a manner that Sanzo couldn’t help another moan that escaped him.

Reaching into his pocket, the brunette pulled out a tube of lubricant and popped the cap open before looking at the flushed man lying on the bed questioningly. “Are you sure you’re okay with me doing this?”

“If I wasn’t, I’d have said something,” Sanzo snapped out and then thrust his hips up. “Now fuck me damn it!”

“Ah-ah! Patience,” Goku purred with a smug grin, coating his finger thoroughly with lube. A slender finger circled at Sanzo’s entrance causing the blonde to hiss at the sudden cold feeling. The finger pushed in and thrust a couple of times, twisting slightly. Quickly a second finger joined it and both fingers crooked inside the priest’s body, causing Sanzo to yell as they pressed firmly against his prostate.

“Monkey! You in me now!!”

Goku grinned and quickly unzipped his jeans, drawing his erection out. Sanzo could see a grimace of pleasure come onto the brunette’s face as he covered his erection in lube. Suddenly, Sanzo felt the blunt head of Goku’s cock pressing against his entrance and momentarily fear welled up within him, but then his lover was pressing forward.

The brunette thrust his hips forwards until he was firmly seated in Sanzo and the blonde could feel the rough zipper of Goku’s jeans pressing against him. The pair lay still, panting hard for a few breaths until Sanzo bucked upwards and the younger man took the signal to start thrusting.

It took them a few thrusts to find a rhythm but once they did, no coherent thought entered Sanzo’s head. His world started and ended with Goku. He felt a hand curl around his erection and start to pump him in time with the thrusts and the blonde could stand it no longer. His vision went white and, with a howl, his body started to tremble. Seconds later he felt his insides heat up as Goku came.

“Wow,” Goku panted a few minutes later. “I’m topping again sometime. That was freakin’ amazing.”

“I suppose I could go for that,” Sanzo muttered, trying to sound like he didn’t mind one way or another when really his body was crying out for them to go another round.

Both men moaned at the loss of contact as Goku drew away and padded to get a cloth to clean them up. Quickly they undressed properly and cuddled together in the bed, Sanzo forgoing his traditional cigarette in favour for having his arms around his monkey once more.

“So did ya like the sonnet?” Goku asked his eyes shining brightly with hope. “Was imitating Shakespeare a good choice?”

The blonde considered his answer for a minute and then said, “’In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes, for they in thee a thousand errors note, but ‘tis my heart that loves what they despise, who in despite of view is pleased to dote’.”

Goku blinked. “Huh?”

“It means yes, monkey. I liked it.” Sanzo snorted softly. “Now let me get some sleep.”

Soon after, the room was filled with the soft snores of both the men, each of who slept with a smile on their face.
