Title: Five "Senses"

Notes: First of a short drabble prompt series I gave to myself based on the LJ community 5(underscore)sense's second table.
1. Thought
There were times when stopping to really think would be the worst possible course of action.
Take the current situation as Exhibit A: a swirling mass of smoky anger with too many tentacles to count that Doumeki could only really see through his right eye and that seemed intent on eating Watanuki, who was rather vocally averse to that idea. When given the choice between thinking of some elaborate plan to get Watanuki safely out of the way before firing off a shot or just doing what came instinctively, the only real option was to just act.
Of course, that meant he would be (loudly) berated by Watanuki once the danger had passed, but Doumeki would much rather be lectured than to spend the rest of his life wondering if he would have been able to save his friend had he been just a few seconds faster.
