Sanzo listened as Goku made his bed and laid down, falling asleep almost immediately. But now Sanzo found that he was the one unable to sleep. He didn’t like how warm Goku felt and how his hands seemed to be shaking when he had him by the wrist.

Sanzo groaned and buried his head under the pillow. This was going to be a long night.

Golden eyes were fixated on the sky above, hands absently petting the (now full ^.^) sleeping dragon curled up in his lap.
Goku blinked slowly, forcing his mind to fade back to reality.
“What the point of even being around them anymore if they don't want me in the first place?” he muttered softly, tracing Hakryu's wings with is fingers.
The tiny dragon chirped happily at all the attention he was receiving and snuggled into Goku's palm, falling back asleep.
Goku smiled softly and sighed, closing his eyes as well. It was nothing new, the constant teasing from Gojyo, the scolds from Hakkai and even the death threats from Sanzo were all normal and expected. But even the little side comments were starting to hurt.
“Damn monkey's nothing but a walking stomach.”
“Goku, I really wish you would think next time before doing something so reckless. That was extremely inconsiderate.”
“Get off or I'll shoot.”
Goku took a slow breath. The night suddenly felt colder even though he knew it was just as hot as it had been. He shivered in spit of himself and stood slowly, gently setting Hakryu down on the ground.
“There ya go, little guy.” Goku said quietly, smiling as the little dragon looked up. “Get some sleep, okay? Tommorow's going to be a long-..” Goku gasped as razor-sharp pain shot through his stomach.
“Ngh…” He grasped his stomach and fell to his knees. “What…the hell…?”
Pain coursed through his abdomen in white hot flashes and he squeezed his eyes shut tightly, falling over to the side and laying in the dirt.
“Hah…dammit…” Goku pulled his knees to his chest and took small, shallow breaths. Slowly, the pain began to subside and gradually fade into a dull ache that radiated through his body.
After several minutes, Goku managed to pull himself back into a sitting position and carefully crawled to his feet.
His hands were shaking and his legs felt ready to collapse at any minute as the ground swayed beneath him.
Hakryu watched him worriedly and made a soft “kyu” sound, his eyes locked on Goku's shaky form.
“Ngh…it's okay, Hakryu…I'm alright.” Goku smiled weakly at the little dragon and opened the door slowly. “Go to sleep little guy…”
The dragon watched as he stepped inside, his eyes still clouded with worry. “Kyuuu…”
 
Goku entered the bedroom silently and found Sanzo already asleep on the bed, his back to him. Keeping one arm wrapped around his stomach, he made his way over to the edge of the bed quietly to retrieve the linens for his cot.
Sanzo kept his back to him, seemingly undisturbed by Goku's presence.
The boy reached for the sheets slowly only to have his wrist suddenly captured by the “sleeping” monk.
“Goku…” The word was soft, almost inaudible.
The boy in question struggled to return his heart rate to a normal pace and answered quietly. “Y-yeah Sanzo…?
The room was silent for several seconds and Goku began to wonder if Sanzo had fallen asleep again. The tight grip on his wrist, however, made him doubt that possibility.
“Get to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow morning and if you don't wake up when I tell you so help me God I'll leave you here.”
Goku's blinked slowly and sighed a little. “Okay Sanzo. G'night…”
Sanzo listened as Goku made his bed and laid down, falling asleep almost immediately. But now Sanzo found that he was the one unable to sleep. He didn't like how warm Goku felt and how his hands seemed to be shaking when he had him by the wrist.
He made himself take a deep breath and close his eyes. Beside him, Goku whimpered a little in his sleep.
Off in the distance, thunder rumbled gently, dark grey clouds forming a blanket over the clear sky. Small droplets of rain began to fall quietly at first, gradually turning into silver sheets that swept across the town.
Sanzo groaned and buried his head under the pillow. This was going to be a long night.
