[fic] Saiyuki, Nice Boys

So, I just got around to watching the first half of Saiyuki DVD 4, and this bit of dumb drabblecrack popped into my head. XD; I've always liked stories from perspectives outside the main characters, and well. XD

[coughs]

Nice Boys
Saiyuki
Gojyo/Hakkai... of a sort?
As long as you know vague details of Hakkai's backstory (ie, what he did to become a youkai), no actual spoilers, I don't think. Worksafe!
Set during the three years the two of 'em lived at Gojyo's place.
Fluff. XD;


Jia leaned heavily on Qing's shoulder. "Neeeee, Qing," she whined. "Have you seen Gojyo? He's not been in to gamble for a bit, and even when he does, he doesn't hang out anywhere."

"I hear he's got a girlfriend," Qing sighed, as Jia's weight slowly pushed her towards the table. "An actual serious one this time, not the sort he'd toy around with. Can you believe it?"

Hearing the sound of gossip, Huan moved over from where she'd been watching a bulky young man gamble at another table. "Oh, I can tell you something even more unbelievable," she said, cheerful. "It's not a girl at all, but a guy!"

The two girls stared at her. "You LIE!" Jia squeaked. "Gojyo, with a man? I can't even imagine that!"

Qing chortled, low-voiced, her eyes closing dreamily. "I can."

"It's true, though," Huan protested virtuously. "You know that new guy, the green-eyed beauty? He bumped into you at the market yesterday, Jia, I know you've met him."

Jia sputtered. "HIM? But he was so, so... nice! He kept apologizing even after I told him it was all right! And he... and GOJYO? And dammit! I had my eye on him! He's... why is it always the nice boys who turn out to be taken?!"

"Not Gojyo's type at all," Qing added, thoughtfully. "I mean, assuming Gojyo had a type among guys. Which, fantasies aside, he really doesn't..."

"He does!" Huan insisted. "You know, the two of them are living together off in Gojyo's little place. And you've been there, you know it's a one-room place, basically, there wouldn't even be room for two beds."

Qing hmmed. "You have a point," she admitted. "I mean, they could just be roommates, but... roommates sharing one bed? If nothing else, it'd seriously cramp Gojyo's style."

"Oh, it just doesn't work for me. Gojyo CAN'T like men!" Jia whined. "He likes women!"

Huan and Qing looked at her for a long moment, disbelievingly, then turned back to each other. "Besides," Huan said, smugly, "doesn't it nicely explain why Gojyo isn't doing more than hitting on the girls any more? Trying to maintain his reputation or keep his boy-thing a secret. Really, I think it's cute. That Hakkai, I think his name is, he takes care of the house for Gojyo and does most of the cooking and from what I saw when I snuck up there, he even separates the burnables from the rest of the garbage..."

At the name 'Hakkai', one of the men had turned from gambling -- Chin Bai, who was more than a bit known for the love of the malefolk himself. "Ahhhh, if it's Hakkai you're talking about, you'll be best to stay away from him," Bai advised. "You know, a few months ago this priest came by and was looking for him -- it was a bit personal after he shoved a gun at my face so I followed 'em up to the hill, and apparently that Hakkai-guy is wanted for mass murder or something."

They stared at him.

"...Oh, you're just jealous," Qing finally sniffed. "I mean, have you met Hakkai? He's such a sweetheart! Just like a girl!"

"Acts more like Gojyo's mother than his lover," Jia agreed, her tone still a bit hopeful. "So maybe--"

"Honestly, they're so cute together," Huan sighed as Bai shook his head, returning to his game. "Really, a match made in heaven."

Ahhh, you too? XD One of my favourite fics recently was just a little thing about an ex-supervillain's boyfriend trying to phone home to mom to explain who he's bringing back for dinner... it's those little 'outside views' that just make me squee. XD And I'm so terribly glad you liked it, thanks for commenting!

This was wonderful. The fangirls were just brilliant. XD My favorite line: "The two girls stared at her. "You LIE!" Jia squeaked. "Gojyo, with a man? I can't even imagine that!"

Qing chortled, low-voiced, her eyes closing dreamily. "I can.""

Perfect. Perfectly in character, too, with what we've seen of Gojyo's groupies.

And the last line--such a brilliantly subtle pun. ^_^ Kudos.

[info]harukami

January 30 2005, 14:44:12 UTC 7 years ago

[grins] Thank you. XD I love fics about the people AROUND the main characters, mainly because all the stuff that makes perfect sense from inside the character dynamic often must look SO strange and interesting to outsiders.

Hee, thank you. :)

[info]lisa_bee

January 27 2005, 15:06:30 UTC 7 years ago

So much fun!

"Oh, it just doesn't work for me. Gojyo CAN'T like men!" Jia whined. "He likes women!"

And the last line? So funny. Groan-no-she-didn't-make-that-pun funny, but it got me laughing. :D

I love gossip-fic.

[info]harukami

January 30 2005, 14:45:14 UTC 7 years ago

[grins] Glad you liked -- and hee, yeah, the pun was just so there. I took it. I'm bad. <3

Thank you -- and so do I! It's great fun, seeing what the people outside of all the character dynamics think of 'em. :)

Hi! I'm so glad you enjoyed it -- it was fun to write fic about people outside of the main cast, looking in. XD

If you don't mind my asking, wheredjya find this? :) A few people have posted comments to it within one day and it's been long enough since I've written it that I'm surprised. XD

"..he even separates the burnables from the rest of the garbage..."

If that doesn't define a relationship I just don't know what would.

This was just too cute.

As much as the WHOLE FIC is commendable, I think it's actually the basic, core, central title/lasting impression the women have of the boys that I find funniest, that they are in some way "nice, decent boys."

Along with the lines others have quoted, I also got a major kick out of

Huan and Qing looked at her for a long moment, disbelievingly, then turned back to each other.

*tsk* Non-fangirls just will never get it, poor things. XD
