[August 24th] [Saiyuki] from one house to another
Title: from one house to another
Date/Theme: August 24th / I am waylaid by Beauty
Series: Saiyuki
Character/Pairing: Hakkai
Rating: PG-13
Now that the rain has stopped, the frogs are croaking, hiccupping loudly and happily in the long grass by the pond.
Hakkai hears them as he throws open the kitchen window to catch the fresh air, and hates them. It is a hate full of bloody edges, honed by recent memory.
First, that anyone could delight so much in the rain.
Second, that they can sing so well about it.
Third, that they do it while he is still in pain.
By the time that Gojou comes staggering home that evening, the pond has faded from scarlet to dull brown.
