Day 35: Twin Pines Restaurant

[byname-bynature.livejournal.com]

(From here!)

Artemis walked into the restaurant and glanced around at the decor. He wasn't impressed, but he wasn't disdainful either. He simply smiled. It was nice... for a town with a population of barely three hundred.

The boy smiled up at the person up front. "Two, if you please."

The monkey'd fallen silent, probably trying to fill in the gaps that Sanzo wasn't willing to. He'd known the kid for so long that it was like reading an open book.

Although considering Goku, it wasn't like he could keep a poker-face anyway.

At least that was one thing he could count on. Goku was too naive to land on the other possibilities, and there wasn't any Gojyo around to give him any ideas.

Sanzo leaned back in his seat. "Don't think too hard on it. You'll hurt yourself."

Finally. Where was she when he'd really needed a distraction earlier?

"I'll have a side of rice," he told her. He wasn't that hungry. Not with the prospect of having to watch the chimp dive into his food like that, and not with the way the conversation was turning.

He looked at Goku. Now the kid was getting weird again, an uncomfortable look on his face.

"And I'll take a steak as well." he added. Not that he was going to eat it.

Sanzo set the water he'd about to drink down, and gave Goku a steady stare.

"No. I'm not." he said, the warning heavy in his voice. That was it, as far as he was concerned.

For once, Sanzo wasn't entirely sure what Goku was thinking. He'd have thought that since he couldn't come up with a good possible reason, then that would've been it.

Done and over with.

Why wouldn't the dumbass just drop it? It wasn't like he was as easy as the roach: he wasn't going to crack if prodded enough. It just proved that even Goku could be almost as stubborn as Hakkai when it came down to something. Just stubborn in a different way.
