xxxHolic: AU Collection
1. Autograph
The boy walks out of the stall and does an almost comical double-take. He walks up to the sink and turns the faucet on, then turns it off and faces Doumeki.
"So," he says, grimacing. "You must be Shizuka Doumeki, international rock god and ladies man extraordinaire."
Doumeki says nothing. The boy looks annoyed.
"Hey, stop washing your hands and pay attention to me. I came to your stupid concert, you know," he whines. The rock god turns the water off and faces him.
"Did you?" he says in a monotone. The boy flushes.
"It wasn't my idea! My friend Himawari-chan wanted to come. She thinks you're great, for whatever reason," he grumbles. Somewhat jealously, Doumeki notes. He glances towards the door, beyond which is an arena where twenty thousand fan girls are shrieking themselves senseless. The boy frowns.
"She-she'd probably want your autograph. If she knew I'd run into you… Stop smirking, bastard!" he snaps, producing a notepad and pen from his pocket. "And yes, I do carry these everywhere I go! For word games!"
"What should I write?" Doumeki asks. The boy turns his blue eyes towards the ground and mumbles something incomprehensible.
"…What?"
"To my darling Kimihiro, I am forever yours. With all my love, Shizuka,"
Doumeki signs it and hands the pen and paper back. The boy seizes them and storms out of the bathroom, muttering something about egotistical fops and tiny-pupiled bastards. Doumeki stares after him.
"…Kimihiro, huh?"
