My Twisted Sense of Reality

xxxHolic fanfic Watanuki/Doumeki

"Because everybody but Watanuki knows"

Ch 2

Watanuki sagged against his locker, too tired to bother with opening it. His eyes bore huge bags courtesy of the sleepless night before. After he woke up from the first dream, more of the same variety came crashing down upon him. And it wasn't just kissing, but touching and smexing. A light blush crept onto Watanuki's face as he thought of those dreams.

"What the hell is wrong with me!?" He cried, shaking his head vigorously. "I'm not going to fall for that stupid Doumeki."

"What about falling for me?" Came a familiar sounded, causing the smaller boy's heart to leap into his throat.

"Dammit Doumeki! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Watanuki snarled, clutching his chest.

"You're extra jumpy today." The taller boy said, looking the other boy over. A concerned look crossed his face when he noticed the bag's under Watanuki's eyes. "You didn't sleep very well?"

"No, I kept having these weird dreams. I couldn't fall asleep for more than a few minutes." The paler boy admitted, turning away from Doumeki. Concerned, Doumeki reached out and brushed his fingers against the other's cheek. Surprised, Watanuki jumped back against the lockers. "What the hell are you doing!?" Hurt marred Doumeki's features as he turned and walked away. "Dammit…you always screw everything up, don't you Watanuki?" He grumbled, putting a hand to his face.

"Did you mess up lunch?" Himawari asked, leaning over the boy.

"Huh? Oh no. I guess I must've said something wrong to Doumeki, and I made him upset. I'll apologize to him later. Want to eat lunch together, Himawari?"

"Wow Watanuki! This looks really good." Himawari raved as she ate lunch with him later that day.

"Thanks. I'm anxious as to how this tastes." He said, picking up a sausage octopus with his chopsticks. Another pair of chopsticks came out of nowhere and plucked the octopus out from under Watanuki's nose.

"It's a little overcooked." Doumeki mumbled between chews.

"Hey! Who said you could have that one!? You big jerk!" Watanuki growled, only pretending to be angry. He was mostly relieved that Doumeki had shown up. He really hadn't wanted to have to corner the other boy to apologize, especially not after all his dreams, and the thing this morning at the lockers. His cheek still tingled where Doumeki had touched it. It was odd. He never felt that way when Himawari touched him. Did this mean something?

"Hey, I'll be right back! I need to go tell Akane something." Himawari stated, running over to a friend on the other side of the courtyard. Watanuki froze, glancing over at Doumeki. The taller boy didn't show any emotion, per usual. Sighing, Watanuki opened his mouth to apologize.

"I'm sorry." Doumeki said, cutting off Watanuki before he could speak. "I shouldn't have done that this morning. It's just…I've had this crush on you for the longest time, and when I thought there was a chance you felt the same way… I'm sorry." For once, Watanuki was speechless. Doumeki was always so guarded, never letting any emotion show through his stoic exterior. Yet here he was, pouring out his heart to Watanuki. The pale boy could swear he was emotion swimming in Doumeki's brown eyes.

"It's my fault really. I lead you on. It's just a stupid rumor anyway. I'm not gay." Watanuki tried to reassure his friend.

"You know you're a horrible liar."

"What!? I'm not lying!" Watanuki cried, a little too loudly. "Why would I like a big jerk like you!?" Immediately he regretted his choice of words when he saw the hurt apparent on Doumeki's face. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I'm just not sure if I even like boys in general. I've never been in a serious relationship." Watanuki explained, praying Himawari would return before he spilled even more of his heart to this big dumb jerk.

"So, try. Go out with me." Doumeki stated simply, turning to face the smaller boy.

"What!?"

"Go out with me." Doumeki repeated, looking Watanuki straight in the eyes.

"Fine. But no kissy stuff!" The black haired boy agreed, looking away, blushing.

"Fine by me." Doumeki replied, a smile hinting at his lips. "Fine by me."

Thank you to all my lovely reviewers and readers! I love reading all your reactions to my story. I find that yaoi fangirls have the most interesting things to say. Good news! This fic was supposed to be two parts, but the inspiration bug (aka lots of reviews) bit me and now I wanna make it a full fledged story. It'll be my first one written without an OC. I'm kind of excited! I won't promise a set schedule cause my class schedule has me running around like a mad woman.

Anyway! Review to get more chapters!
