Pairing(s): Cho Hakkai/ Sha Gojyo
Notes: For the Battle #3 challenge prompt: Courage
(Inspired by an old prompt by Indelicate Ink from Valentine’s Day Flash Challenge: Gojyo/Hakkai - confessing your love for your roommate right before you throw yourself into mortal peril... and then not dying after all. (I AM SO SORRY I DIDN’T FINISH IT BACK THEN. But I hope you enjoy it.)
Points for Gojyo
If Gojyo had ever wondered what Kougaiji would look like as a zombie-he hadn’t, but it was kind of funny to think about while he peeked out from behind the carved stone column where he and Hakkai had ducked-his curiosity was officially appeased. The giant undead monster was a dead ringer-haha see what I did there, he thought wildly-for the youkai prince.
If Kougaiji were dead, that was, which he might be. Gojyo had last seen him trying to evacuate his people from the lab area, but there had been a lot of screaming and blood and body parts flying around while people tried to get away from the rampaging Gyuumaoh-thing, so it was hard to say with any certainty. There was still a lot of screaming, and people pressing tight against the walls trying to escape being thrashed or crushed by the monster. One fucking exit to the room, really great emergency planning there.
