Finally got the inspiration to write and update this story. Sorry for those who had to wait for me to get this story rolling. ^_^

Part two might be on a bit faster this time around. Cross your fingers. Not sure if any one cares about this story anymore. XD

Enjoy. ^_^

When and where?: part one

"Oh, just look at you. A stunning young thing~!"

"…."

"Well it's about time that you go on a date with that Doumeki fella. I think you and him will make a lovely couple~!"

"…."

"Now, don't be afraid to make a move. If you feel that things are moving too slow then you take charge. However, if things are moving too fast for your liking, a bash to the head will get him back on track."

"…."

"…You know…you're awfully quiet Watanuki." Yuuko calmly said. "I know that you'd rather drive your head into a wall then go on a date with Doumeki but you haven't uttered a word since I was helping you getting dressed. Do you not want to go?"

Watanuki sighed. "It's not that…I mean yeah; it's kinda like that." He then adjusted his glasses. "I knew that it was pointless to argue about me going on a date with that jerk since there's no going back now." He then adjusted his glasses. "And that even if I have the courage to call this off, I will never hear the end of it from you and Syaoran. So, I might as well go and save myself the trouble, if I don't kill myself first, that is."

"Well that's very mature of you." Yuuko said in approval. "I know that you never got along with Doumeki but I can see that there's something about him that you admire and this date might show you what it is." She then crossed her arms. "Despite what you have said, nothing has ever stopped you from being near him or being friends-"

"We're not friends—"

"But either way, it's nice to see that you'll accept that piece of fate." Yuuko concluded. "Besides, it's not every day, that I see you going out. Normally, you'll be at home all alone in your room. It's sad, really."

"Maybe that's because like normal students, I have homework." Watanuki rolled his eyes. "And what the hell are you talking about, fate? That's stupid; as if this date with Doumeki is a match-made in freaking heaven." He scowled. "And on that topic, I got one thing to ask."

"And what is that?" Yuuko smiled.

"Why, in all that is holy, are you making me wear a dress?" Watanuki growled out.

Yuuko laughed. "Well, you are going on a date."

"Not as a cross-dressing freak!" Watanuki shouted. "And last time I checked, I'm not a girl!" He glared at his happy-on-crack aunt. "Yuuko!"

"Fine, fine." Yuuko calmed down a bit. "I think there's a nice suit you can use….somewhere." She then started walking out of the room. "Hopefully it hasn't been eaten by the moths or ripped apart by the raccoons that live in the attic."

"Somebody kill me." Watanuki sulked.

-Some time later-

"I don't see why I have to call you, Syaoran." Watanuki grumbled as he was fixing up his tie. "You're my friend, not my mom."

"Sorry, I just wanted to make sure you're not going to chicken out on me." Syaoran's apologetic voice said through the phone. "Besides, it's a date and the two of you agreed on it. You don't want to stand Doumeki up, would you?"

"Actually I want nothing more than for that fat face of a jerk to fall on his behind and humiliated in front of millions." Watanuki said in a deadpan voice. "And if there were anyone videotaping it then I'll pay a ton of money to have a copy."

"Watanuki….."

"Fine!" Watanuki shouted; finally getting his tie up. "Fine. I'll go and the two of us will have a wonderful time together, just a couple of guys in suits hanging out! Yeah, that will look totally normal. It'd be fantastic!" He sarcastically said as he waved his arm around. "There. Happy?"

"….um….somewhat….I guess."

"Good." Watanuki huffed. "While we're on the topic of what I'm doing tonight, what are you going to do?" He then cursed as he accidentally knotted the shoelaces.

"Oh, well I invited Sakura to watch some movies with some take-out dinners and ice cream." Syaoran's voice perked through the phone; not surprising Watanuki in the least. "Since her brother's out of town, she's looked over by her cousin Kobato who allowed her to come over as long as she comes back by midnight."

"Well that's good news." Watanuki casually said. "I'm glad that Touya won't be around to hunt you down and kill you." He then smirked a bit. "Remember that one time when Sakura tripped over and fell on top of you? Man, the look on Touya's face then he found you two in that position. Priceless."

"Ugh, don't remind me." Syaoran muttered. "If it wasn't for Yukito and the whole soccer team, I'd be dead by now. I'm glad I made more friends that year." He sighed. "But enough of that, back to your date with Doumeki. Now what time should he be coming over?"

"I said 8pm, on the dot." Watanuki glared at the clock. "He has about five minutes to get his butt down here or I'll call it off."

"Knowing him, he'll be there on time. Besides, he's never late for anything. Guy's got a knack for punctuality."

"Yeah, well…." Watanuki closed his eyes. "I don't have anything to retort since it's true as hell!" He then groaned as he sat on an armchair. "Oh, why can't this date just done and over with? Why me?"

"Because Doumeki likes you and it's a good chance to know more about each other?" Syaoran helpfully said.

"No!" Watanuki whined. "I keep telling people, I hate Doumeki! I hate his blank face, I hate that he's popular with all those girls for nothing and I hate that he's around me all the time like some sort of tumor!" He then sighed as he placed a hand on his forehead. "How we even become something like friends is beyond me, I never got a say on it either. It just happened."

"Well sometimes people but themselves first in order to help others." Syaoran calmly said. "I know that Doumeki isn't very helpful most of the time, and he's not the type of person to go to for advice or the kind of person to have a conversation with (learned that the hard way) but I know that he's….Doumeki's…well he's Doumeki. There's no other way of explaining it. But it's not a bad thing…."

"No….I guess not." Watanuki grumbled. "I mean, he's the first friend I had since elementary school, he's always by my side when no one else can….and he's there to piss me off when I'm feeling down; thus bringing myself back up again." Glancing to his right, there was a picture frame with a photo of him and Doumeki when they were just five.

There was Watanuki yelling at Doumeki about something and Doumeki holding his ears and looking away. It was later known that it was Aunt Yuuko who took the picture, when neither one wasn't looking. Though looking upon it now brought a warm feeling inside of the blue-eyed teen. Sighing, he glanced at the ceiling. "Do you think….that he and I….will be together after this?"

"I can't answer that one, Watanuki." Syaoran said with a slightly odd tone. "If you want to be with him that's fine and he feels the same way then great. If not then at least you both tried and I hope the two of you will still be friends."

Watanuki smiled. "Yeah, yeah. I guess having the jerk around isn't as bad as I thought."

*Ding Dong*

"I'll get it~!" Yuuko's voice rang out as a series of footsteps were heard.

"Then again…." Watanuki muttered. "It might be hell on earth. Remind me to throw myself into a river when it's over."

Syaoran chuckled on the other end.

"Watanuki~!"

The teen lazily looked over at to see Yuuko leaning on the doorway with that knowing smirk of hers.

"What?" Watanuki asked.

"My, my. Have you forgotten?" Yuuko asked. " It's your date silly. Doumeki's here, and punctual as always."

Sighing, Watanuki nodded. "Fine I'll be there in a sec." With his aunt out of sight, the teen went back on the phone. "Sorry Syaoran I got to go. Fate's calling…luck? Heh. I'll need more than that to survive tonight….yeah….okay….see ya." And hung up.

"Okay, it's now or never." Watanuki said to himself. 'Though I did hope it'd be never.'

Walking to out of the room and to the front door, Watanuki got more nervous than he was just a few seconds ago. 'What the hell am I getting worked up over? It's just Doumeki. Me and Doumeki just hanging out, dressing nicely and having…fun….yeah. Fun. It's not like we're going to take this seriously….right?' He reached the front door and took a deep breath.

"Okay, showtime." Watanuki opened the door. Then blushed as what he saw. "….Doumeki…."

"Yo."

"Don't 'Yo' me." Watanuki glared as he snapped into his usual habit. "If you're going to greet me, say hello like a normal person." He then looked down. "And while we're on that….tell me; what…the hell….is that?"
