lisa_bee, who suggested: Goku finds a food he doesn't like. Bonus squee if it's something Sanzo thinks is delicious.
An Amazing Event
'Eurrgh!'
Goku spat a mouthful of half-chewed something-- Sanzo had been trying not to pay attention-- back onto his plate.
'Damn animal. That's disgusting,' said Sanzo. 'I'm going to ban you from the table unless you eat with some manners.'
'Go mommy,' Gojyo said into his beer, grinning.
'Don't you like it, Goku?' said Hakkai.
'No,' he said, slowly, clearly wrestling with the concept of not wanting to put food in his mouth. 'It's food. But I don't like it.'
They all turned to stare at him.
'Wow. I never thought I'd see the day you found something you didn't like to eat,' said Gojyo.
Goku blinked, shocked. 'It's never happened to me before. I feel bad. Is there something wrong with me? What do I do? Sanzo?'
'Idiot,' Sanzo said. He sighed deeply. 'What was it?'
'These. They're bitter. Nasty-tasting.'
He pushed a bowl of small, black glistening things at Sanzo.
Sanzo stared. 'Hmm? Olives?' he said, slowly.
Gojyo's fingers hovered over them but before he could reach over to try one, Sanzo snatched the bowl away and put it down firmly next to his elbow.
'They're mine,' he intoned.
'You like them?' said Goku, looking on aghast.
'Yes. They're very good. Your tongue is too foolish to appreciate them. And so is yours,' he snapped as Gojyo stretched a long arm over the table.
'Hey, greedy. Share them,' said Gojyo. 'Oww. You got my eye!'
'Good. You don't deserve any.' Sanzo put his fan away.
'It's true they're for more sophisticated palates, Sanzo,' Hakkai said, rather pointedly looking at the olives.
'You're not having any either,' Sanzo said.
Hakkai smiled widely and Sanzo realised he'd just forfeited getting his laundry done for the next week. But it was worth it. Olives were rare and expensive and delicious. And now, even better, Goku-proof.
'I'm going to bed,' he said. 'Anyone comes near me, they get shot.'
He picked up his cigarettes, newspaper and beer, then balanced the bowl of olives in his other hand.
Goku was staring at him, looking like he might cry.
Sanzo turned back round, sighing deeply. 'Stop worrying, stupid. You don't have to like everything. You eat enough for the two of us as it is.'
Something about that made Goku smile. Sanzo had no idea what, but if it stopped him looking like the world was about to end, then that was fine by him.

Date: 2005-07-25 11:22 pm (UTC)So adorable. And Sanzo is so defensive about his olives, but still manages to say the right thing to make Goku calm down a little bit.
*bwee* So. Darn. Awesome.
