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."
