Author’s Note - Written for Saiyuki_time’s 50th prompt (wow, 50!), ‘gold’. Time allowed 15 minutes. Time taken 8 minutes and another two to edit over. Wow I haven’t written anything in forever and suddenly Goku had something to say.

As he padded after Sanzo down the mountain, Goku has only three things in mind: his hunger felt big enough to eat him whole, the world was way bigger than he thought and lastly, that Sanzo’s hair reminded him of golden sun. He wanted to touch it to see if it would feel like sunlight, not that the sun had a feel. It had warmth and that’s what Goku wanted, something warm and comforting.
But there wasn’t anything warm or comforting about Sanzo. The man was rude. He had hit Goku right in the head. No one had ever done that before but, of course, Sanzo was the first person he had ever seen. Maybe more people would hit him when they met him, too. Sanzo wouldn’t even stop and let Goku eat. He was a big meanie but Goku couldn’t let him out of his sight. Anyone who could make his cage seem to melt away had to be special, magic, and Goku instinctively knew he needed to be with Sanzo.
Goku decided that when they stopped for a rest he would touch Sanzo’s hair. He had to. A strong image of long, golden, silky strands passing through his fingers teased the edge of Goku’s memory. It had to be a dream, he realized but it was a soothing one. He would take a chance. Maybe another touch of sun would burn out the lingering fear in him, convince him that this freedom wasn’t some sweet dream that he would soon awaken from.
