Summary: Sometimes you found love in the least expected place or in this case person.
Doumeki wonders when did it all starts. Maybe, it starts when Kunogi has come to him with a request to help solves the mystery of what's been happening at school which is how he has become entwine with the whole occult thing or is it hitsuzen at work? He doesn't know.
Doumeki lips quirks upturn at the corner as he watches the ghost seeing boy rants. His rants are followed by his spastic hands movement. Doumeki has never ever in a million years thought he would fall for someone like Watanuki. He has always thought that he would marry a woman chosen by his parents. The woman would be from a good family background and good with housework. He 'll inherit the shrine, raised a couple kids and live a quiet domestic life.
Never would he imagine himself to be running around with a bow in his hand and exorcising evil spirits with spiritual arrow. Thus becoming somewhat of a hero and saving a NOT quite damsel in distress that is apparently an indenture servant slash apprentice to a wish-granting witch or dimensional witch, he isn't very sure of Yuuko's actual profession. She is a powerful witch. He learns not to question her.
At least, Watanuki is interesting. He could ended up with worst. The boy can also cook. That is a big plus because food is important. Doumeki give a quick glance at the boy walking besides him. Actually, he cooks better than all the girls from the school that is taking home economics. He would know because they would come by to his class bearing food when it turns out well but they got nothing on Watanuki. That boy level of cooking is-, well not even a five star hotel chefs can compete with in Doumeki's opinion.
"What? Are you patronizing me?" Came an angry growl from the ghost seeing boy and followed by a finger thrust in front of his face accusingly.
Well, the boy cooking is so good that Doumeki can overlook his anger issue and his terrible manners. Honestly, the boy could be quiet rude sometimes like right now but he didn't say a thing. He guessed the boy did notice him stealing glances after all. Doumeki sighs, the boy is oblivious to every single time he was stealing glances when it matters but notices this one insignificant glance. He is quite not sure how to feel about that. Sad or perhaps be happy. Wait? Does this mean the boy is starting to become aware of him?
Watanuki scoffs when the archer ignores him. "That bastard".The boy scoffs loudly.
Doumeki settle to rolling his eyes at the sky above instead. Like he said the ghost- seeing boy is rude.
Doumeki didn't deem that he need to give him a response instead he smirks.
Watanuki broke a cold sweat as he eyes the archer nervously. The archer has be acting strange today after all.
"Why are you smirking?" He ask squinting mistrustfully. At least, that is what Doumeki assumes Watanuki was trying to do because the boy looks ridiculous and attracting passerby attentions, people starts to stare at them. People who recognize them and go to their school. Doumeki glares daggers at all of them.
That's right, look away. There's nothing interesting to see here. He then realize that Watanuki is staring up at him with a confuse look on his face that were so adorable. It made Doumeki wants to crushed him into a hug and kissed his lips. He should tell him that. He should tell Watanuki that he thinks the boy is adorable. Here goes nothing Doumeki thinks as he open his mouth and the word that came out was-
"Idiot." Doumeki eyes widen in surprise and he wants to hit his head on the nearest wall so bad. That is Not what he was going to say.
"YOU." Watanuki glance around consciously. They are getting close to the school and the street is full with students who go to same school as them. He does not want to be the center of gossips for today. He had enough of people talking behind his back for all of those time when he has to outrun the spirits or when he flails around when the spirits clings to him and refuses to let go.
"I'm not an idiot." Watanuki hissed.
"You are planning something diabolically evil in that mind of yours." " I'm on to you", the boy eyes narrows on him judging.
Doumeki stares back unfazed and resume his walk.
"Haha..I'm right. Aren't I? That is why you are avoiding the issues."
"Oi..you're going to be late." Doumeki says as he look back at the boy within the safety of school gate. Watanuki has a horrified looks on his face before he races to the school gate before the bell rings.
"You planned this," the boy accuse. He' glares from his half bend over position and heaving heavily. He just made it in time. Narrowly.
Doumeki resist the urge to sighs because that would make the boy angry and then it will make both of them late to class.
"Hn." The archer snorts and walks towards his class. Watanuki stares blankly before realizing though he made just in time for school if he did not rush, he is definitely going to be late for the first lesson. Damn.
Doumeki smile to himself as he walks to his class. Watanuki accusation wasn't entirely wrong because Doumeki has a plan but this right here was not it. He plans to make Watanuki falls for him and he knows just the right people to ask for help but of course with some he has to be ready to pay for it. Like he said, it could be worst.
