Sneeze
"Sanzo!"
Sanzo took a deep breath.
"Sanzo!"
He dropped the newspaper on the desk and tried desperately to suppress the sneeze that he felt coming. He had been sneezing all morning and it had to stop. There was no way a little cold was getting the best of Genjo Sanzo.
"Sanzo!" Goku entered the room looking as cheerful and energetic as ever. "Guess what Sanzo?"
That noisy monkey was breaking his concentration. He needed to focus if he was to repress that sneeze!
"Guess what! Guess what!"
He couldn't hold it in anymore! He turned his face away from the noisy monkey and prepared to let it but oh no! The monkey moved now standing to his right instead of in front of the desk like a second ago. Stupid monkey! Sanzo pushed the boy away with one hand and covered his mouth with the other. "Achoo!"
"How come you pushed me?" Goku whined.
With a deadly glare Sanzo replied "don't get in the way when I'm trying not to sneeze on you baka saru!"
Goku blinked. "Sneeze?"
"Yes, sneeze, I don't need a monkey with a cold around here, /sniff/" Sanzo said. Colds put him in a bad mood, a lot of things did.
"You're cold?" Goku asked with curiosity and confusion reflected in his adorable big golden eyes. It seemed that for the moment being he had forgotten about whatever he was gong to tell Sanzo before. "Want me to bring you a blanket?"
"No, baka saru, I'm not cold I have a cold. Stay away from me or you'll catch it." Colds put him in a very, very bad mood.
Goku still looked confused.
"I'm sick with a cold" Sanzo tried to explain.
At that Goku looked frightened. "Oh no you're sick! What's the cure? Where is it? There is a cure right? Sanzo!" And he clung to Sanzo for dear life.
"Let go baka saru it's not that serious!" Sanzo yelled but the chibi wouldn't let go not with harsh words and not even with the harisen. "Hey, Goku" Goku looked at him at least he was listening now that Sanzo spoke in a softer tone. "A cold is not a serious illness. It'll go away by itself in a few days so you can let go now."
Looking relived Goku finally let him go and the second he did Sanzo hit him with the harisen several times. "Ouch! Stop!"
All that exercise with his paper fan must have gotten to him because Sanzo started feeling dizzy but refused to admit it until the world turned to darkness...
"Serves you right chibi taiyou! That chibi saru was only trying to help. Looks like you're really getting into character now. The color of the sun and the temperature too."
When Sanzo woke up the first thing he felt was an unbearable heat. As soon as his other senses started working he realized that he was in his room buried under who knows how many blankets.
"Are you still cold?" Goku asked when he realized Sanzo had woken up.
"You did this? Are these all the blankets in the temple?" Sanzo asked with a hint of sarcasm and plenty of annoyance as he struggled to escape from the mountain of blankets that threatened to cook him alive.
Goku nodded. "Yup, I brought you all the blankets I could find so you won't feel cold anymore. Are you feeling better now?"
"Achoo!"
"Oh no you're still sick! You should stay in bed until you're all better!" Just what he needed a monkey bossing him around.
Sanzo wanted to give the harisen another workout but Goku was trying so hard to be helpful and looked like he was truly worried about him, he just couldn't. "I'll be fine, go out and play. I told you I don't want to catch this cold."
"I don't mind. If it'll make you feel better I'll take it from you" Goku said. He had no idea how immune to colds he really was.
"It's not that simple."
"Why not?"
Sanzo shook his head. Explaining this to Goku wasn't a task he was up to doing when he could hardly stay focused on his train of thought. "I don't need this many blankets, just one is enough. Return the others to where you got them."
"Are you sure?" Goku asked.
"Yes, I'm sure" Sanzo tried to keep his temper in check. He was in a worse mood today because of the cold so that proved a little more challenging then usual.
"Ok, I'll put the blankets back but first you need to eat your soup!" Goku said. Sitting on a nearby table there was a bowl with a spoon beside it. Goku retrieved said bowl and handed it to Sanzo along with the spoon. "Remember when we were visiting Hakkai and Gojyo and it started raining and Hakkai made soup and he said that soup made people feel better when they're not feeling well and we ate it together and it was really good?"
Sanzo was in a trance staring at the bowl's contents but he still faintly nodded.
"I couldn't get into the kitchen, the monks wouldn't let me use it so instead I got some peaches from the peach tree and made peach soup!" Goku was certainly proud of his accomplishment. He made soup and didn't eat it, he was taking good care of Sanzo.
"Peach soup..." It looked like Goku had torn the peaches apart and squished him with his own hands. The liquid part was apparently water mixed with the peaches' juice and he called that strange substance 'peach soup'.
The Merciful Goddess was practically falling off her chair laughing. "I'd love to see you eat that chibi taiyou! I'm sure you'll get well soon with such a good boy taking care of you!"
"Goku, what were you going to tell me before?" If only he could distract the chibi long enough to get rid of the 'peach soup'. He simply couldn't get himself to throw it away with Goku watching and he didn't know what was stopping him.
Goku blinked. "I guess I forgot, it probably wasn't anything too important." That didn't work.
In his extra sour mood an unanswered curiosity was not what he needed. Furthermore the chibi kept staring at him but Genjo Sanzo was not afraid of some strange soup. With all the courage he could muster, Sanzo took a spoonful of the substance carrying a small piece of peach and some watered down peach juice to his mouth. Goku smiled brightly because Sanzo was eating the soup he made, he would have been disappointed otherwise. That's when he realized that he was inevitably going to end up eating all his soup. Because Genjo Sanzo would not be defeated by a bowl of peach soup and most of all because Genjo Sanzo was a bigger softie than he would ever admit.
