Greed: scavenging and hoarding, a strong desire to gain

"There you are," Goku said. Sanzo just raised one eyebrow at him; Goku could hear the idiot.
Sanzo was leaning against the wall inside the mouth of an alley, not hiding from the festival still going on, but out of its reach. The setting sun made the shadows around him long and dark already, but out in the street the light was still orange and red like the tip of his cigarette.
Goku grinned and slumped down next to Sanzo, who rolled his eyes but didn't really mind, because he let Goku into his space without moving away. Goku watched him sideways, not turning his head.
"Well?" Sanzo said after a while, blowing out a mouthful of smoke. "Is there some reason you were looking for me? Don't tell me you ate everything in town already."
"No. None of it tasted right, anyway." Goku kicked at an empty can near his feet. The food had been good, but it wasn't what he wanted. Festivals were always fun, crowds and noise and new things to try, but this time he felt like something was missing, and none of the food he tried filled him up. "I just wanted more. It's like- it's like nothing is enough."
Sanzo glanced at him, eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?"
"I don't know," Goku muttered.
"Ch." Sanzo flicked away his cigarette in annoyance and turned to leave. "So shut up until you start making sense. Figure out what you want, monkey."
Everything, Goku wanted to say, though Sanzo would probably hit him. But he did. He'd had nothing for so long and now he had so much, but he was afraid of losing it, and that just made him want it all more, he wanted to grab everything and hold it tight so he'd never be alone or hungry or cold again.
"Please, Sanzo, please, Sanzo, Sanzo," Goku said instead, which wasn't really what he meant, but close enough. He wrapped his hands in Sanzo's robe, rumpling the sutra in his hurry, then let go again, sliding his hands up to touch the bit of Sanzo's neck above his black undershirt, the soft spot just below his jaw. Sanzo took in a quick breath, and Goku felt him swallow against his fingertips.
Goku kissed him, so hungrily they stumbled back against the wall, and Sanzo wasn't overwhelmed or startled, just kissed him back. Goku dropped his hands to Sanzo's waist and pulled him closer, growled low against his mouth; he wanted more, wanted to touch Sanzo everywhere, wanted to kiss him and smell and, best of all, taste.
Sanzo yanked Goku back by the hair. Just a little, though, just enough to see. So close, Goku stared right into Sanzo's eyes, and all that attention on him, he wouldn't look away for anything. "Stupid chimp," Sanzo said. "Stupid, greedy-" And even though Goku usually listened to Sanzo, he didn't wait for the end of the sentence before needing to interrupt him with another kiss.
