After the party...

[worldly_monk]

The present had been sitting on his pillow when Sanzo had stumbled back to his room after his birthday party. Too drunk and tired to care, he had dropped it on the desk, unopened, and fallen asleep.

It was the first thing he saw when he woke up the next morning. Betsy the toy cow was sitting next to it, which brought back vague memories of the birthday party. (Oh fuck. Had he really sung karaoke last night?) Sanzo buried his head under his pillow with a groan. A few minutes later, he reluctantly tossed the pillow aside and got up. He thought about opening the gift, but decided coffee and something to get rid of his hangover headache were a higher priority. It wasn't until later that afternoon that he finally got around to unwrapping it. He rolled his eyes when he saw the book's title. From Gojyo, of course. He was tempted to just toss it in the trash, but curiosity got the better of him.

A little while later, he closed the book and set it on the desk. It was certainly...enlightening. He smoked in silence for a while, trying to figure out the possible meaning of the gift. It was obviously a joke, but it could also be seen as a suggestion. Sanzo rubbed his forehead with one hand. Trying to figure out Gojyo always gave him a headache. Maybe it was just Gojyo's idea of entertaining reading material (judging by the bookmarks he'd found). He wasn't sure if he wanted to thank Gojyo, or hit him over the head with the book. Thinking about 'Things To Do To Gojyo' brought a few other suggestions to mind (with corresponding page numbers), and he crushed out his cigarette with more force than necessary.

He and Gojyo had been dancing around this...flirtation for months, ever since Gojyo had arrived at Hogwarts. Maybe it was time for them to settle it, one way or another. If Gojyo was just joking, Sanzo would hit him with the book, and that would be the end of it. If Gojyo wasn't joking... And that was the problem. He didn't know what he wanted to happen. Or he did know, but didn't want to admit it, even to himself. Annoyed with his own indecision, he shoved the book into a drawer. He'd worry about it later.
