Title: Blanket
Author: Mako-clb
Pairings: Hakkai/Gojyo
Rating: PG (just to be safe)
Disclaimer: Hakkai and Gojyo belong to
Minekura-sensei. I am borrowing them
without permission for a bit of harmless fluff from which I gain nothing but
the joy of writing for my two favorite Saiyuki boys.
This was written for the Minus Wave Fluffy Flash
Fiction challenge. I don't write a lot
of fluff, so this was actually more difficult to write than some of my longer
fics.
Summary: When Hakkai tries to extricate himself
from an innocent situation, he finds it might not be so bad after all. Total
fluff.
Blanket
The sun had just slipped above the horizon when
Hakkai awoke. It was habit, he
supposed, but one he couldn't break.
And, even if he wanted to sleep in, he had far too much to do laze
around in bed. The problem was Hakkai
was currently being held prisoner in bed.
Gojyo was lying on top of him, head pillowed on Hakkai's chest, arms
wrapped around him, and long legs entwined with Hakkai's own.
Normally, Hakkai would gently nudge Gojyo off, and
if that woke him up, all the better.
But, the day before had been rather exhausting, both mentally and
physically, especially for Gojyo. Hakkai
was determined to make sure he slept peacefully for as long as possible. Of course, if Hakkai didn't get up early
enough to make sure coffee and
breakfast were on the table before his traveling companions rose, the resulting
noise would wake Gojyo anyway.
Hakkai gently shifted his left leg toward the edge
of the small bed, but Gojyo's own leg followed his. Next, Hakkai tried to slide his upper body toward the bed's edge,
but again Gojyo followed, his arms tightening around Hakkai. With a little mental sigh, because a real
one might wake Gojyo, Hakkai reconsidered his strategy.
Slowly, Hakkai wrapped his arms around Gojyo and
gently turned towards the sleeping man.
As Hakkai hoped, Gojyo rolled with him so that their positions were
reversed, with Gojyo on his back and Hakkai on top, or at least above. Hakkai had miscalculated again. Although Gojyo was not lying on top of him,
Hakkai was still trapped. Gojyo's arms
were no longer wrapped around him, but the redhead was using Hakkai's arm as a
pillow. Worse yet, Hakkai was forced to
leverage his upper body above Gojyo because otherwise he might smother the
man. It took a few moments for Hakkai
to shift his weight and his body enough to settle himself beside Gojyo. But, as soon as he did, Gojyo rolled onto
his side, wrapping tan arms around Hakkai's much paler chest.
Hakkai was thankful that Goku and Sanzo had their
own room and Hakuryu was still asleep in the next bed or he might die of
humiliation at being outmaneuvered by a sleeping Gojyo. No matter what he did, Gojyo continued to
cling to him like a child clings to a security blanket.
The thought made Hakkai smile, and he snuggled in
closer to Gojyo. He would just have to
stay in bed until Gojyo woke because if Gojyo needed him to feel safe, Hakkai
wouldn't dare leave.
The End
