Summary: Everyone knows Doumeki hides his emotions, everyone also knows that Watanuki hates his guts, but that's just what they want the school to believe. If it wasn't for Watanuki, Doumeki would've lost it before they graduated high school. A look into their lives up to their five year reunion with their class using little drabbles.

Chapter 1 ~ Season 1

~~Hydrangea~~

Ten hours in the cold rain at night, hoping, praying, wishing, that Watanuki would come back alive and unharmed. It was too quiet without her yelling at him or talking about nonsense, he gripped the white bookmark tighter in his hand as he saw her body appear again but she was holding onto a skeleton's hand that seemed like it belonged to a little girl. He couldn't but stare, the hand was skeleton bones and the clothing was dirty, Watanuki didn't let go of the hand but smiled gently at the hand and spoke softy to it where Doumeki couldn't hear it. It was at that instant, Watanuki had reminded Doumeki of a kind and caring mother and he knew that he had fallen in love with the spirit seeing girl.

~~Contract~~

Doumeki didn't like how the lady who had the monkey paw kept staring at Watanuki or the way that she ignored their warnings. Doumeki did as much as he could to try and protect Watanuki from her and he succeeded by accident. The monkey paw lady found out that Watanuki kept making him food and since she was student teaching, she couldn't join in especially since she was student – teaching, but the monkey paw was starting to give her bigger problems.

~~Lamplight~~

He's now able to protect Watanuki better than just being there. Doumeki looked at his bow as he laid on his bed, everyone have gone home after an eventful night. He almost lost Watanuki tonight and he couldn't hand that. He looked at his door as a familiar and almost welcome presence entered, he got up and ran to the main door but didn't open it until he heard a knock and familiar grumbling. When he opened the door and stared at his late night visitor, Watanuki looked tired, the bruising around her body where the spirits grabbed her were forming but she was holding onto a pan of chocolates and held them out to him. "Thank you," she said quietly, but he could hear all the emotions in her voice, see it in her eyes, and taste them in chocolates.

~~Seal~~

Doumeki waited for Watanuki inside of the classroom impatiently knowing that she's talking to their mutual friend Wari. He didn't mean too but two fellow classmates were talking about ways they wanted HIS girlfriend and he could tell that the twins were starting to get to her too, especially the younger with the way she practically clung to him without actually clinging. Doumeki still couldn't believe that they started dating since they went to the vacation house. When Watanuki entered the classroom, he slid the door shut, picked her up and placed her on one of the desks before he started kissing her. Doumeki loved taking her by surprise because she could never speak afterward. He slid his hands up her shirt and placed them on her waist pulling her close to his body before he pulled back from the kiss with a slight smirk. He just needed a slight reminder that he was the only to kiss Watanuki like this, and that she was the only one who has the same thing.

~~Nail Clipper~~

Doumeki visited Watanuki for another reason and she found that out when she was lifted onto her kitchen counter, his hands traveling up her skirt that she wears around her apartment only while he was busy kissing her, her hands seeking out to hold onto his hair as he fucked her on her kitchen counter, which seems to be his favorite spot and honestly, she doesn't mind. She did mind however that he cooked the beef in her cooking pot western style instead of eastern style. She looked down at the sleeping Doumeki who was resting his head on her lap, her fingers combing through his hair, she'll find another way to tell him the news.

~~Choices~~

She didn't mean to make him worry like she did but how could Watanuki know that the sweet old woman who she saw as a mother was the reason why she was getting so sick. Yuko wasn't there to confirm if it was that old lady or symptoms of Watanuki carrying a child. Speaking of which, she still hasn't told Doumeki and that look he sent her when she yelled at him, she knew she couldn't tell him.

~~Surprise~~

Doumeki knew he acted out on her with that old lady, the archery tournament and the couch wearing him down and he couldn't spend time with her, couldn't hold her, and there was something bothering her but her couldn't figure out what it was. She didn't show up for school one day and he was beyond terrified. Doumeki couldn't run as fast as he wanted to towards Yuko's house which he can see when he read the note in his locker that read, 'Congratulations, you have a beautiful baby girl.'

~~Precious Moments~~

Yuko opened her front door before Doumeki could even knock and led him inside, Yuko knew Watanuki would need him but she made a choice and so didn't Doumeki by coming here. When she led him to a room that had a baby crib in it, Yuko was surprised to see Doumeki run straight towards Watanuki who was currently resting to make sure she was alright. Once he was content, he went to the crib and looked at his newborn baby girl not realizing that Yuko left the room. These were the precious moments Yuko loved and with the agreement she has with Watanuki, she'll see a lot more.

~~Choice~~

When Watanuki woke up, she wasn't expecting Doumeki to be there, she wasn't expecting him to be holding their baby girl. He looked over at her and she tried to glare at him but the scene was to cute for her to actually glare. She knew the question that was hanging in the air that he wanted to ask but he surprised her by sitting on the bed and waited for her to sit up before handing her the child, "I wanted to tell you but didn't know how," she said looking at their baby girl, "When you made a choice to kill that old woman, I made a choice not to tell you. That look you was giving e was the factor but," she looked up at him, "I'm glad you're here." He leaned over and kissed her forehead and that small little action, she knew that he didn't mean to hurt her.

~~Summer~~

Doumeki walked towards Yuko's house where he knew Watanuki would be staying to take care of their daughter Momoka. When he entered the house, he stared at seeing that kind smile he saw back at the Hydrangea as she was watching Momoka play with Mokona. He walks over to her and sits down next to Watanuki on the floor, her head soon leaning against his shoulder and even through summer break wasn't for another couple of weeks, he knew that this would be a wonderful summer with his new family even through society would look down on them, he was happy.
