Summary: Hakkai offered a prize to get Sanzo to laugh. Who is Gojyo to turn down a challenge like that?
[Red = Gojyo, Purple = Sanzo, Gold = Goku]
Gojyo glared at the mirror. He hated the Best in the World costume, but if he was going to have any chance, he had to use it. With a sigh, he walked to the living room and eyed Sanzo. This really had better work...
Sanzo was sitting on the couch, reading his magically appearing news paper, an unlit cigarette between his lips and the ever famous glasses on his face.
Goku had been laying on the floor, scanning over the comic section of the newspaper. He had ganked it from Sanzo's paper earlier, hopefully before the monk had noticed. At footsteps, he glanced up, did a double take and nearly laughed out loud, but covered his mouth with his hand before he could. This had to be part of Hakkai's challenge...so he wasn't gonna laugh. Or, try not to, anyway.
Gojyo glared at the monkey even harder than he'd glared at the mirror, shook his head, and bolted through the living room. Or... attempted to bolt through it. Three-fourths of the way through he hit the corner of the carpet and slipped, running head-on into the wall. That had not been part of the plan.
Sanzo had watched the entire scene play out. At Gojyo stepping into the room, he'd set down his paper, at the running, he'd removed the cigarette, a small smile forming on his lips. And as soon as Gojyo went barelling into the wall head first... The grumpy monk began to laugh. Not the irritated snicker he got sometimes, but full out laughter.
Goku's eyes went wide, jaw dropping just slightly. The kappa had actually done it. Though, he had to admit, it probably wasn't very hard to get a laugh out of anyone when you're dressed like that, and falling on your face didn't help matters much. The laugh was infectious, though, and soon a grin crept across his face. Sanzo laughing wasn't something you got to hear but maybe once in a lifetime, and it didn't take long for him to start laughing himself.
"Fuck." Gojyo reached up to rub his head, knowing that at the very least he had a bright red spot on there. He focused his eyes on the wall, finding a rather large dent in it. But there was one reward. He could hear Sanzo laughing behind him. And he'd actually gotten that laugh fair and square, too. "Damn it. That prize better be worth it..."
The priest continued to laugh, holding his sides as he did.
Gojyo pushed himself up off the ground. "Hell, maybe that's the wall we should knock down anyways to add to the apartment. I'm going to find some beer. I need to take care of this headache. And I need to change." Shaking his head, he headed out of the room.
He sat back, a smug smirk on his face.
