"When people say things are more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth."---Granny Weatherwax in Carpe Jugulum.
Whenever someone inquired about their relationship Watanuki would pause for a moment and then hesitantly say "It's complicated."
And it was. Watanuki always felt this was true. He didn't know what they had. They weren't friends. And certainly their relationship was not, as Himawari had once commented it was, like that of brothers. And Watanuki couldn't really say he hated Doumeki. At least not honestly and with venom--not anymore.
So when people asked he always said "It's complicated."
But in all honesty, maybe he was just a little afraid of how simple it actualy was.
"Oy. Dinner done?" Doumeki asked, having snuck up behind him in the kitchen and enveloped Watanuki in his arms, brushing his lips against the smaller teen's cheek.
"Dinner will be done when it's done!" Watanuki replied, waving the spoon at Doumeki. Though with less vigor than he used to as he turned his head to press his own lips to Doumeki's chin to show he wasn't really angry at him.
Yeah. Maybe things were a whole lot simpler than he liked to think.
Told you I'd give you happier stuff next time.
