Prompt fic - Kenren/Gojyo

For jamjar: Kenren/Gojyo, "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
Rating: worksafe



Kanzeon Bosatsu was a shocking creature. She had a hard tone and look that Hakkai found curiously offensive. Gojyo had minded too, that was clear. The whole thing was very very odd, and why had she come down to help them in the first place? Possibly it was to do with Sanzo. She'd put all that blood in him. It was suspicious.

Hakkai closed his eyes. It seemed to be taking a long time for sleep to come. Beside him on the floor, Gojyo slept, curled up on his side like a child. He'd been pale and weak a bedtime, even though Hakkai had made him eat second helpings of liver and greens. Across the room Goku whiffled in his sleep like a dog.

It had looked oddly familiar, seeing Gojyo and her together. There was no reason why it should, unless he'd seen them do it before, and he was certain he hadn't. Fairly certain. He tugged the blankets to his chin and slowed his breathing so that it was in time with Gojyo's.

Heaven was bright with cherry blossom, but it had no human scents.

"It's unexpectedly dull," he said.

"That's what you said last time," someone said.

Not Gojyo, someone else. His smile was more carefree and his gaze softer.

"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

Not-Gojyo smiled and fiddled with the sake bottle hanging from his belt. "Somewhere, I think."

In the distance he could see the Bosatsu approaching.

"Where' are the others?" he said.

"Gojyo's here," the man said, and in his arms was Gojyo, wrapped tight around him. Hakkai was sure he was speaking, but he couldn’t hear him. All Hakkai could see was the glossy fall of red as they kissed, and Gojyo's bare back and arms, clinging tight to this man.

"Are you his brother?" Hakkai said, finally.

The tall figure in a diaphanous top was moving still closer, walking slowly.

"No," Not-Gojyo said, and he laughed.

"Hakkai, we have to go," Gojyo said.

"Not yet."

"Hakkai. Hakkai. Damn it. Wake up."

Sunlight was pouring in and Gojyo was leaning over him.

"What?"

Gojyo pursed his lips. "You were makin' noises."

"I was having a dream."

"Was it good?"

"Not as good as waking up."

Mmmm, identifying and Freudian! Hooray!

This was very cool. I loved the first line, and how well you did the dream-state. Also?

the glossy fall of red as they kissed, and Gojyo's bare back and arms,

That's just so damn erotic. Whew.

Ooh, thank you very much. It's so good and helpful to hear which bits are erotic. Gojyo's bare back and arms are automatically erotic anyway, I feel. :D
