Random bit of Saiyuki-something that isn't quite ready to be a fic yet, but that I have to write before i lose it.
Saiyuki, why don't you give me omething to actually work for?
Spoilers for Hakkai's backstory, if you don't know it.
Kanan wanted a baby, with his eyes, she used to say. Their eyes, Gonou never said out loud, caressing her cheekbone with his thumb. It was a small, silly dream that they couldn't have just yet. They didn't have enough money, and everyone knew that they were brother and sister. It wouldn't do to have a baby in such a place.
A little girl, Gonou used to answer when Kanan would speak about children, his hands splayed on her flat belly. They'd save money and they'd move away, move far away to a place where no-one knew them and they'd have a little girl, a little girl with his eyes and with her smile.
