Minutes later Gojyo’s hand was back. With a light touch, a calloused finger began to trace the perimeter of the scar. The puckered, rubberized edge. The fingers danced till the waistband of his sweatpants, ran along it and found the scar’s other edge and traced it back to the origin. The fingers did several circuits, and then the palm flattened against his stomach. The touch was infused with warmth. Realisation dawned about the same time. Hakkai didn't know how, but Gojyo had realized that he was awake.
That he had been awake for sometime now. If not for all of it.
He could sense Gojyo’s uncertainty. His friend’s breathing had softened now, as if afraid to break the silence. Gojyo started to pull his hand away. Then for some reason, Hakkai didn’t want him to break the contact. He wasn’t sure why. It was as if Hakkai had some great need, and this was a last chance at it. For sometime anyway.
"So, oh no you don’t," Hakkai thought and closed his hand round Gojyo’s. Held it fast and tight. Neither was giving in. Hakkai hung on. He could be quite stubborn when he wanted to be and this was one of those times. They fought in this manner. Silent except for their laboured breathing.
Gojyo stopped fighting. Stopped resisting.
Hee! There you go! I teaseth you! Hope it helps! ^__^
