It's sort of a sequel to my SyaoSaku fic 'Simplicity' and yes, it's DouWata.
I'm not sure how many parts this fic will have so brace yourself. ^_^
Enjoy~!
Let's meet up; shall we?
Watanuki tapped his foot impatiently as he was waiting outside of a building. He gritted his teeth as he can hear cheers and yelling coming from the inside. He swore to himself that he would never set foot into that place. In fact if he had his way, he wouldn't be here at all.
Unfortunately, fate and a certain friend was not that kind.
"I have to do what?"
"You heard me." Syaoran smiled. "Since I confessed to Sakura thanks to you, I thought it be great if I return the lovely favor."
Watanuki stuttered. "B-B-but I was trying to be a good friend and to help you!"
"I know. And so am I." Syaoran chuckled. "And I think this charade with you two has gone long enough and I think your aunt will agree."
"My aunt? No…you didn't."
"I did." Syaoran grinned.
"Damn it Yuuko!" Watanuki cursed loudly. He then looked at Syaoran with pleading eyes. "No please! Don't make me this! I'm begging you! I'll do anything; anything but that! Please!"
It took a lot of Syaoran's will not to burst out laughing at his friend. "I'm sorry but you can't back out now. Might as well face it, head on."
Moaning in discontent, Watanuki crossed his arms and looked away. "Fine. I'll see the jerk." Then he pointed at Syaoran with a frown. "But I'll tell you right now; it's not going to happen! Not in million years, Syaoran! Never! Got that?"
Syaoran nodded with a straight face. "Sure….I see. Yeah, I got it." He then grinned. "Good luck though."
"Oh shut up."
With his back on wall, Watanuki took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Shortly after the conversation, he tried to make a run for it back to his house but he didn't make it to the front door before his aunt Yuuko was there with a sly smirk and a basket.
A basket filled with cookies and heart-shaped lollipops.
After some screaming and laughter, Watanuki accepted his crude fate and went down to the archer club where a certain person was there…wooing the crowd.
Damn him.
Hearing some footsteps getting closer, Watanuki re-adjusted his glasses and stepped out and into the entry area. Bit by bit, archers and fans walked out of the building. As more came out, his heart started beating harder and faster. He gripped the handle of the basket as tightly as humanly possible. Now that he thought about it, he didn't think his own face would get any hotter.
Damn him!
After several minutes, the area soon became empty. Something felt wrong. Out of all of the people who left, he didn't come out. Just what the hell was he doing? Sighing, Watanuki gritted his teeth and went inside. He stepped into the archery arena. It was just as empty as outside. He looked around the place. A target board, a place for the audience and a plank for the archer to stand before shooting.
"What the hell?" Watanuki finally voiced out as he grunted. "Where is that damn jerk? I know he had a competition today. I should have seen him by now!" Suddenly he screamed as he felt a tap to his shoulder. He turned around.
"Yo."
And glared at the person before him.
"Doumeki." Watanuki seethed. "What the hell are you doing sneaking up on me like that? I could've had a heart attack!"
"I wasn't sneaking up on you." Doumeki calmly replied. "I heard from one of my teammates that you were waiting outside and stuff."
"And it never occurred to you that maybe you should have come and see me?" Watanuki frowned.
Doumeki shrugged. "Maybe." He covered his ears as Watanuki started yelling at him about being a lazy oaf who is insensitive. As quick as it came, it grew silent. Uncovering his ears, Doumeki glanced at Watanuki who was looking away. "What?"
"I….." Watanuki muttered out.
"Huh?" Then Doumeki has his arms full of treats and goodies in a basket. "What the-"
"There! I gave it to you!" Watanuki suddenly shouted out. "It's…leftovers from that time…yeah! It's nothing special or anything! And since you like eating I figured….." He then looked away again as he felt his face heat up again. "So just…take it and be damn grateful!"
"….." Looking at the cookies and lollipops, Doumeki as slightly see the redness in Watanuki's face. Then it clicked. He slightly smirked. "If you wanted me to go out with you; just say so."
Turning his head, Watanuki stared wide-eyed at the archer. "W-What…Just what the hell are you on? That's not what I'm doing! It's not that. And even if it was (which it isn't!), there's no way that I'd go out with you! We're both guys and it'd look weird and…stuff." He covered his eyes as he tried his best to regain some composure.
Doumeki shrugged. "I don't think it's weird. " He then took a cookie and bit into it. "Besides…" Chew, chew, chew. "When someone does something for another, it'd be nice to do something in return."
"I don't need your charity!" Watanuki yelled out. "I just…it's still weird though." He then sighed loudly. "You know what forget it! I don't even know why I'm doing this anymore. I'm out of here!" He was about to leave as he passed Doumeki when he felt a hand gripping his. He looked back with wide eyes. "…What?"
The archer gently pulled back Watanuki. "I mean it. Do you want a date or what?"
For a few moments, Watanuki couldn't speak. He couldn't even look away. Those golden-brown eyes seemed to draw him in and there was no escape. Finally, he sighed. "I…I guess dinner…would be okay. I mean…I'm not desperate or anything."
"Sure you're not." Doumeki let go of the teen's hand. "How about this; I'll pay for dinner and everything. In exchange I get some of those Mokona jamies you always bake. An even trade."
"So in the end, I'll be doing the work." Watanuki mumbled. "Fine, you got a freaking date. Yay for you." He then stared at his hand being held. "Can you….let go now?"
"Why?"
"Why? What do you mean 'why'? You still have your hand on mine!" Watanuki said loudly.
"And?"
"And….and…." 'It feels…kinda nice.' Watanuki fell silent after that thought. Then he yanked his hand away. "Okay. So let's do this right. Friday night, meet me at my house at 8pm and dress nicely. I don't want to be seen with a slob."
"Alright." Doumeki nodded.
"Since you're paying for everything, be warned: I'll drain you of every penny you got!" Watanuki victoriously smirked. "So don't think I'll go easy on you!"
"Fine."
"Good. Since we are now on the same page…." Watanuki started walking away. "Friday at eight! Don't you damn forget it!" He pointed at the man.
Doumeki gave him a thumbs up as he was chewing another cookie.
As soon as the archer was out of sight, Watanuki got out of the building and just ran. Ran and ran until his legs started to hurt. He reached his house in record time. Out of breath, Watanuki leaned on the front door and covered his face. "Oh my god. I have a date with Doumeki." He then stood up and walked back and forth.
I have a date with Doumeki.
I have a date with Doumeki.
I have a FREAKING date with Doumeki.
This can't be happening.
This cannot be happening!
"Someone pinch me." Watanuki whispered. Then he yelped as he held his injured arm. Right next to him was Syaoran who had a cheeky grin on his face. "What's so funny?"
"S-Sorry." Syaoran held his hands up in surrender. "You seem to be in a daze and you did ask for a pinch." He then smirked. "So….how it go?"
"How what go?" Watanuki grumbled.
"With Doumeki, of course." Syaoran laughed. "Did he do anything?"
"Um….well…..we do have a date this Friday…." Watanuki looked away. "And he's paying…though I have to make him sweets…the fat pig."
Ignoring the last part, Syaoran nodded. "See? I told you it wouldn't be so bad. Now you get Doumeki all by yourself. And who knows…." He shrugged. "You might enjoy yourself."
Nodding and rolling his eyes, Watanuki grinned. "Yeah..maybe. I just don't want to make a big deal out of this and please for the love of god don't tell Aunt Yuuko about this."
"Too late."
The boys looked at the door to see Yuuko leaning on the doorway with a smirk.
"Did I hear that right? My lovely nephew has a date with that Doumeki fella." She then pinched Watanuki's cheeks. "Oh how cute~! My dear Watanuki's growing up~!"
"I'm not cute!" Watanuki swatted Yuuko's hand away. "And it's nothing special. Just hanging out like any other two people."
"Two people who are in love~!" Yuuko beamed. "Ah~! It's like some romantic novel about two young ones meeting and falling in love for the first time and soon they make sweet and wondrous love with the man hovering over his other and whispering sweet nothings into the ear as he plunged in and-"
"Okay!" Watanuki said with a bright blush as he started pushing Yuuko inside. "So I'll see you later Syaoran, okay? Okay. Bye!" He slammed the door.
Syaoran stood there as he heard from muffled shouting and laughter coming from the other side. Shaking his head, he started walking down the steps and into the neighborhood. He then took out his cell phone and dialed a number. He waited.
