Saiyuki snippet: Gojyo's toe socks

[louiselux]

This is for avenger_pudding and everyone else who wanted to read about Gojyo in those socks that have individual spaces for each toe. *eyes friends list warily*





"What the hell are they?"

Gojyo held them up. They were stripey and tubular and at the end were five flappy things. The flappy things were each a different colour.

"Well, you see, they began as gloves… but the fingers came out too short."

"Too short?"

"I don't why. But they'll be warm."

Sometimes there was no telling the things Hakkai would get wrong, like knitting in a third leg for the-- thing-- he'd made for Hakuryuu last winter, which Hakuryuu had since buried in the garden. Hakkai had stopped his dog biscuit ration for days afterwards.

Hakkai was smiling now, looking hopeful, gazing at the socks. Crap. He was probably going to have to wear these.

"They're… unusual."

"Try them on," Hakkai said, then dropped to his knees and began unlacing Gojyo's boots. "There's a space for each toe!" he added.

"No! I mean, it's okay. I can do it."

"I wan to see you in them." It wasn't really a request. "Sit down

Gojyo was backed up to the sofa.

"You're so weird, you know that?" he said, after a few moments of watching Hakkai deftly pulling off his boots.

"Mmm."

Hakkai tugged the socks over his bare feet, smoothing them up over his calves. Gojyo let him. It was too late to stop him and, besides, seeing Hakkai on his knees in front of him wasn't so bad. He wiggled his separated toes and stretched his legs out to look at them. They felt strange, and came right up to his knees, but the wool was soft. He wiggled his toes again. Really, they felt kind of nice.

"A perfect fit," Hakkai murmured, his hand stroking over the arch of Gojyo's foot.

He stood up and walked about in them, tugging his trousers up to look down at his feet. Hakkai stayed where he was, watching.

"Yeah, you could say that," he said, catching Hakkai's hand and tugging gently. "Come here."

*Trying not to giggle helplessly* Ah, Gojyo. Whipped and knows it, heh. Also love the part about Hakuryuu's... thing, lol. A third leg? Heh, must have been thinking about Hakuryuu's tail or something, lol.

But you tease. What happened when Gojyo pulled Hakkai to him, you evil mistress?!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, there is sock sucking, of course.

Hakuryuu's tail...yeah I am sure that was it

[scribblemoose]

*meltymeltmelt*

Giggly and warm as always. :)

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks!

[emungere.livejournal.com]

Crap. He was probably going to have to wear these.

Heee. Gojyo catches on quickly. *g* Yay, toe socks!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

And there should be more sock fic, btw.

Just sayin. ♥

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Ahah. When I saw this requested, I giggled. And you just made me choke. This is beautiful. I love you.

_{And you spelled "murmured" as "murmered," just so you know.}

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Sorry for long delay in reply, but thanks also for catching the typo.

[trensaddiction.livejournal.com]

Ah Gojyo: such a martyr to the whims of his roommate. *laughs* This was charming.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

He really is! Oh, socks. Thank you :D

[crystal-lilly.livejournal.com]

*squeeee*

*giggling madly*

Soooo warm and fluffy!

Hakkai was smiling now, looking hopeful, gazing at the socks. Crap. He was probably going to have to wear these.

*snicker* Gojyo didn't stand a chance. He lost the battle before it began.

And we all want to hear what happened next!! *smirk*

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Next... the full body sock. Hakkai is such a pervert.

Thank you!

[mainekosama.livejournal.com]

Awww, that was sweet! And Hakkai is the boss of everything. Of course :p.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Mmmm, he is.

[avenger-pudding.livejournal.com]

*can't stop giggling*

Poor Gojyo! He can't even choose his own socks.

This was very funny and sweet =)

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Gojyo regrets not standing up more to Hakkai in the early days of sock knitting, I am sure. Thanks, glad you liked it!

My favourite part. I love Gojyo, I do I do I do.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks :) They are a strange little family, really. *g*

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, so whipped. Awesome.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Thank youuu!

[cicer.livejournal.com]

Toe socks! TOE SOCKS. ♥ And Gojyo. So whipped. So very, very whipped. *dies* I loved the bit about Hakruyuu. Hell hath no fury like a Hakkai scorned, hm?

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Ha! He is so whipped! Hakkai - he's a dangerous guy all right.

Thank you!

[sedens.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, I have to say I'm entirely on Hakkai's side here. It's a bit tricky (not to mention boring) to knit socks, and socks with toes? PITA. Hakkai is not wrong to apply some, er, affectionate pressure, just to make sure the socks are fully appreciated.

And of course Hakuryuu's tail needs to stay warm. Ungrateful beast.

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Heee! Oh, Hakuryuu is so ungrateful. Every dragon needs a knitted dragon-suit.

[travellyr.livejournal.com]

Yeee! Random surfer in here to giggle, and congratulate you on a job very well done. This is charming, adorable, and sweet. ^___^

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks so much! I'm glad to hear you like it.

[darkfire-blade.livejournal.com]

Ah, Hakkai and his knitting.

From uber-long scarves, to mittens on a string. That's just with the ikkou. Poor Hakuryuu and Gojyo, but you know angering the Hakkai won't be a good idea. Toe-socks don't sound too bad neh? ^-^

You wonderful wonderful person!

I wonder if Tenpou knows how to knit? Seeing how many books he has, he must have a knitting one somewhere...

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Hee - Tenpou knitting... maybe he'd fall asleep over it?

I'm glad you liked this - thanks!
