Hello
Hello! This is the second Chapter of Cursed Love. I forgot to put this in the first chapter, but I read volume 10 of XXXHolic and when Watanuki told Himawari that he loved her and he'd never make her cry, and she cried, I wanted to expand that. Please enjoy!

The bell rang. Watanuki jumped out of his seat with a huge grin on his face. "LUNCHTIME!!" He shouted and took out his homemade lunches. That jerk Doumeki has club so today I get to eat alone with Himawari-chan!! Watanuki was practically jumping off the walls with excitement. The thought of him alone with Himawari-chan was almost too good to be true; little did he know it was.
"Ah, Himawari-chan!!" He had just spotted Himawari-chan standing in the hallway. He glided over to her. "Himawari-chan!! Let's eat lunch together!!" He showed her the lunches. Himawari-chan looked at the lunches and hesitated.
"I'm sorry, Watanuki-kun, but the girls and I wanted to go watch the archery club practice, Doumeki-kun's going to be in it, isn't that wonderful!!" She clapped her hands in delight, smiling her brightest smile ever.
"Himawari-chan…ano…do you-do you like Doumeki-" He was cut off.
"HIMAWARI!! Hurry, they're starting!!" One of Himawari-chan's friends waved to her from the opposite side of the hall.
"Ah! Coming!!" She turned to Watanuki. "Watanuki, I'm sorry, I'll eat with you tomorrow, k'?" She winked at him, causing him to come out of his depression. "And Doumeki-kun can come too!!" That caused Watanuki to sink lower into the depths of despair.
I love you, but you don't seem to love me. I want to be loved by you. Watanuki was in Yuuko's shop, sweeping the floor, thinking thoughts about his never-ending depression.
"Shot down again?" a smooth voice from behind him.
"Shot down!"
"Shot down!" Maru and Moro choired, laughing.
Watanuki stormed off in a huff, going to take out the trash, or buy more sake, anything to get away from the taunting and teasing.
Lunch next day was silent and full of tension, well, according to Watanuki. Doumeki was eating with them, He and Himawari-chan seemed to not feel the tension, but Watanuki felt it, twice over. There was a dark cloud of stink from some bad spirit from behind the bushes. Although he hated him, he was glad that Doumeki was there, the spirits seemed to affect him less with him there.
"Watanuki-kun, why do you keep eyeing the bushes?" Himawari-chan looked up from her bento and looked at Watanuki.
Himawari-chan's looking at me!! Even just a look sent him into a love-induced stupor.
"Watanuki-kun, you're turning red again, are you alright?" She made a move to see if he had a fever. The thought of her being that close to her made him blush all the more. "You're really red, are you sick?"
"Don't worry, they say idiot's don't catch colds." Doumeki's monotone voice, always there to spoil the moment. Himawari withdrew her hand and went back to eating. The rest of lunch passed without incident.
There should be more, I hope someone reads this!! Please review!
