he’s human. yes. inuyasha cannot stop reminding him of this fact. over the years miroku’s put up with it. he’s pushed past such comments and taken them with a grain of salt. however, miroku the pacifist, woke up today with a little more backbone in him than he usually carried, save for visits from the hell spider himself.
inuyasha was yet again going on about how miroku in comparison to himself as a half-demon needed more rest, and more than anything else: sleep. the one thing miroku was practically incapable of doing. while he indeed may need sleep, it still didn’t change the fact that whenever these simple matters were brought up, they.. hurt. especially coming from someone that he respected and cared about so much.
he’d worked hard to become the man he is today. training day in and day out. spiritually and physically. strengthening not only body but mind. miroku pushes himself to no end and it’s only moments like these where he pressures himself to become even better. just to get someone off his back. as inuyasha continues to ramble on, going so far as to stick his nose into miroku’s personal space. miroku turns his head dismissing him with a wave of his hand.
when inuyahsa pushes more, well. miroku finally looks at him, and the look he gives isn’t a normal one for him. this time inuyasha pushed too far. in one fluid motion as the two walked side by side, miroku tilts his staff and pushes it hard across and against inuyasha’s chest. with a quick sprint it’s only in moments before miroku has inuyasha pinned beneath his staff and against a tree. he holds him there with both hands on his staff and narrows midnight eyes. their faces are close, mere inches apart-- reminding miroku of just how beautiful inuyasha is inside and out, despite how simple minded and careless he was with his words.
“that is enough, inuyasha! i have had it with you and all these comments about my humanity! you’re part human too in case you have forgotten!” his voice is louder than he’d like it to be and before he gets too angry he drops his gaze and his fists tighten on his staff. “i’ve worked every day of my life to get to where i am now. to become the man that you see before you,” hesitantly miroku lifts his gaze again. “this is me, inuyasha. you don’t have to like me. you do not have to like humans for that matter, but if i ever you speak in this manner around sango or lady kagome, i’ll be sure to remind you’re just like us!” there’s an almost sadness in angry eyes as his grip loosens on the staff and he gazes back into those amber eyes.
a moment comes over him. maybe it was the sudden adrenaline rush of anger, or maybe it was just sheer passion of the moment; but miroku can’t help his impulses and surprisingly enough, gives into them. pushing back against the staff, only allowing enough pressure to prove his own point miroku thrusts his lips on inuyasha’s. the kiss is something that has never happened before and miroku is sure to make it memorable. he’s too angry and wound up to care about the complexity of the moment and only loses himself in the kiss as he pushes further. lips and tongue explore inuyasha almost aggressively. he didn’t know he’d ever wanted something, someone this much until this very moment and he can hardly stop himself. nor where his mind wants to wander. maybe he cannot accept miroku’s humanity, but maybe.. he can accept him?
it’s only when his staff falls from clumsy distracted fingers as they reach for inuyahsa’s red robes does the staff jingle and clatter to the ground. when it does, miroku pulls himself back to reality, removes his lips from the hanyou’s and glances down at it.
with a flush of embarrassment the monk clears his throat as he bends to pick it up. “well.. that at least got you to shut up.” he mutters stepping back away from him, glancing at him over a coy shoulder. “we should.. go. we’re late as it is, the others are waiting on our return.”
