In A Nutshell: Watanuki realizes something that, while important, also makes him miserable.
Disclaimer: It's not mine. It never has been, never will be.
Watanuki was hiding behind a freakish curtain and scared for his life. Idly gripping the fabric, it struck him that only Yuuko could ever get him into a situation like this. A situation like this had Watanuki in a garish orange suit, hiding behind a curtain with Doumeki while they waited for something inevitably nefarious to appear. He personally thought that both the orange suit and the curtain were entirely unnecessary. Oh, and Doumeki's entire existence would be, too, if the idiot didn't have to act as some sort of spiritual bodyguard or whatever.
"JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUCHING?"
"It's sort of dark behind this thing. I can't really see."
"THAT'S NOT AN APOLOGY. OR AN EXCUSE."
"It shouldn't be."
Watanuki was seriously contemplating strangling him with one of the ropes tying back the curtain, but they had tassels attached and he was sort of wary of anything in a house Yuuko sent them to, anyway. Especially one where the curtains' ropes had tassels attached to them. Then he conveniently remembered that Doumeki was pretty much the only exorcist readily available within… actually, he didn't want to know how sparse exorcists were these days, just in case he really did end up committing homicide and found himself in need of another one. Watanuki thought that maybe he could bring Kohane-chan around, but… no, that wouldn't work.
Sighing, he came to the conclusion that he was just stuck with Doumeki.
And when that wandering hand made another appearance, Watanuki elbowed the archer in what he hoped was a really vital organ. Just because he was stuck with him didn't mean he couldn't retaliate.
I'm sorry this took so long!
Tassel was a really difficult one. Because I have a mental roadblock when it comes to tassels that directs me automatically towards curtains. It's not something I can control.
Sorry it's so... weird.
I've pretty much already got the third one finished, so I'll have that up soon for everyone!
