A small piece of Truth...

aquabeanA quote, which, I fear describes me perfectly...
Also, a drabble. (For![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sariyuki, because she wrote me one. And karose, because headaches are terrible.)
Title: Drive

Summary: Sometimes it’s almost worth it.
His head hurt, and the slowly darkening bruise on his cheek throbbed. It had been stupid to start a fight in the first place, but those guys -- even now it made his stomach churn, anger becoming a physical sensation as the acid in his stomach burned.
“You could have let it go.” Sanzo’s voice was quiet beside him. One hand on the steering wheel, he reached out with the other, sliding his fingers along the bruise, the gesture surprisingly gentle.
Hakkai’s shoulders slumped, feet rising to rest on the dash, “You never do.”
“You usually don’t let me drive either.”
"I tell myself stories all day long. I have managed to weave a fairy-tale of infinite complexity around the inanimate objects in my house... No one in my family is surprised to find me putting the waffle iron away on a different shelf because...it has quarreled with the toaster... It looks kind of crazy, of course. But it does take the edge off cold reality."
--Shirley Jackson

Date: 2004-12-16 09:28 am (UTC)Hee. Oh. I hope I didn't hurt your head... you feelin' better kiddo? Good. *glomps again*
"Evar"? Heh. As long as it isn't "irregardless" (Not. A. Word. Damnit!), which I heard both my boss and a newscaster use the other day. But yeah...I could get into using "evar." ;D
[*Edit with smoke coming out of ears* The LJ spell check didn't catch irregardless. I have no words for how dumb that is. IRREGARDLESS ISN'T A WORD PEOPLE! IT'S TOTALLY REDUNDANT! REGARDLESS IS THE WORD YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AND IT WORKS JUST FINE! *takes a deep breath, and looks around suddenly embarrassed* I am so sorry. I'm going to go back to work now. Just ignore the crazy girl in the cubicle.]

*shake fist* Shut up Ben and you're inspiring music!

He would carry around weird, experimental poetry from the Village in that messenger bag. You know it. Something like Sparrow. ^^
He might go to NYU, or not at all. And Sanzo would be his scoffing, Gap-wearing boyfriend, dragged to concerts and readings and plays, and so out-of-place. He'd stand there, arms crossed, and refuse to participate (and secretly enjoy ^^, even if only because 'Kai does). *coos*
And he wears everything with a great deal of irony. The man was Tenpou. *sighs*
(Is it wrong of me to be in love with an animated character? Yes? My sig-other thinks I'm crazy ^^;;.)

Date: 2004-12-16 10:41 am (UTC)A whole big world of, Hee! Because it's true! Heh.
But not NY, no, I think they'd end up in Berkley, because NY gives Sanzo a headache and Hakkai likes all how easy it is to get out of the city.
Hakkai also always carries a notebook with him, because he's a writer, and it's always one of these (http://www.moleskineus.com/). But he never buys them himself, a new one will just 'apear' right as he's almost filled up the last one. He's asked Sanzo about it, but the man always just says, "You've got a new journal, what do you care where it came from?" And Hakkai just smiles because it's Sanzo's way of showing that he pays attention, even if he doesn't want anyone else to know about it.
He reads Thomas Merton and Michael Palmer, and Sanzo listens to him read the language poets out loud at dinner and never complains. Hakkai for his part ignores all the religious studies books and news papers piling up around the apartment and hides his grin whenever Sanzo bitches about all the people who need to move the fuck out of California so that he can have some piece and quiet.
(Umm.... Actually, I don't think I'm in any position to say anything about loving fictional characters. Heh. We may be crazy, but it's a warm fuzzy kind of crazy!)

Date: 2004-12-16 10:17 pm (UTC)I tried to get this finished and up *before* work. But then Tenpou flipped me off when I tried to color him (oddly enough, Sanzo cooperated, but getting the bird from Hakkai hurt my feelings and I had to start over) and then the scanner blew me several raspberries, and the end result is BAH.
But anyway, here. (http://www.site-bg.com/nightfall/pics/feelfree.html)

Nightfall, darlin', you are AMAZING! *would gush more but she is busy staring at The Pretty and debating making it her desktop background*
Umm...also? Is that Sanzo doing a *facepalm* behind Hakkai? 'Cause if it is.... *just. dies* Hee! I want my writing, to hang out with your fan art, and have beautiful fannish babies together!

Date: 2004-12-17 10:19 am (UTC)I mean, really, I'm not asking for too much, am I? Just a little adherence to the language. Just a little time taken to bother to learn what REAL words are. *sighs* Read too many books, too young to be able to suffer these kinds of fools gladly.

"The hot new band XD-OTP is topping the charts with 'Facepalm' off of the album, Lotus Blossom. When asked what they thought about their incredible rise to stardom, their drummer, and usually most reserved of the group, said, "Listen to song and leave me the fuck alone. Idiot.'"

HEE!
