Duck eggs

"Sigh…"
Doumeki turned to the shorter boy. Lately he had been walking the other boy over to Yuuko-san's shop after school. The protests had stopped so to hear this forlorn and annoyed sign made the taller boy curious. "What's wrong with you?" Watanuki gave the other a lazy look and sighed again.
"Himawari-chan won't be able to have lunch with me tomorrow." Doumeki looked thoughtfully and concluded, "That's right, she has duty tomorrow." He felt the other boy fuming by his side, "That means I'll be stuck alone with you. Ugh!" "That's right…" Doumeki trailed off.
He turned towards Watanuki, "Oi, tomorrow I want duck eggs and hot sauce." "Excuse me," the bespectacled boy screamed, "I don't take requests from you! Plus, why duck eggs all of the sudden?" "It would be good to have some tomorrow for lunch."
The two of them stopped in front of the wish granting shop. The shorter boy began to enter the gate but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder, "Oi, don't forget, alright."
Inside of the shop, Watanuki found the proprietor of the store spread lazily and appearing half dead on a long couch as her adorable little minions looked on with worried faces. "Watanukiiiii…! I'm starving to death! There's nothing to eat. We'll just have to go to the store." The boy huffed annoyed, "I'm sure we have plenty of food. You probably just drank all your liquor and want me to go fetch some more." Yuuko-san starred back innocently, "And what's wrong with that."
"Augh, never mind it. I have to go get something extra for lunch tomorrow anyways." "What's that," the witch asked, suddenly revived and ready for her alcoholic threats. "Doumeki wants duck eggs and hot sauce for tomorrow's lunch." As Watanuki told this to her, he saw a flash go off behind Yuuko-san's eyes and an unsettling grin spread across her features.
"What?" the boy asked with nervousness he didn't like showing. "I had suggested it to him." "Oh really, is it any good, Yuuko-san?" Watanuki asked as he prepared to go to the market.
"I think you'll find it delicious." That grin of hers was way too creepy for Watanuki's taste. He couldn't help but shiver.
The next day the two met under a large tree for lunch. "Did you remember the duck eggs and hot sauce?" the still-faced boy asked calmly. Defeated, Watanuki brought out the bento with the eggs. "Yeah, I brought them."
Doumeki reached into the box and took out an egg. He peeled it slowly and applied a bit of hot sauce to it. Carefully, he tasted the concoction and gave a satisfied moan as he ate the rest. Satisfied that the lunch seemed appetizing, Watanuki followed suit. After he had eaten an egg, he turned to the taller boy with a grin on his face, "These are great. Yuuko-san was right to recommend them to you."
Doumeki nodded his agreement as he reached into the bento for another duck egg, "Yeah, she said they would be good for us to eat together." "Oh yeah," The other commented nonchalantly, "Why's that?" "Because she says they are an aphrodisiac."
At that time, Watanuki began to choke on the mouth-full of egg he had been chewing.
Luckily, Doumeki knew mouth to mouth.
