Very fun and funny fic!
My only issue would be that Gojyo's vocabulary is too good. He is by no means stupid, but he didn't have much formal education, so I don't think he would know words like "pedantic", if that makes sense. And he may sometimes need an explanation when Hakkai uses words that are very advanced.
Hope that is a little helpful!

I have a degree in sociolinguistics so the speech styles for the characters are important to me. While I was writing I thought about how much street edge I wanted to give Gojyo's speech and whether he'd be confused when Hakkai used academic jargon. In the end, I went with a style that was less elaborate than Hakkai's but also not very rough in order to speed up the flow of the dialogue back and forth, since this is a very talky fic and my skills with slangy speech are a little shaky--it's an area I could definitely improve on.
