"Watanuki-kun, what's wrong?" Haruka was an astute and perceptive man, and none of Watanuki's moods had ever slipped by him. He also realized that most of the time, when he was bemused or nearly breaking down in tears, that it was his grandsons fault that the boy was feeling whatever it was that he was feeling. Kimihiro sighed, trudging over and falling down beside Haruka, slouching over to press his face against the deceased mans shoulder and curling into him. Haruka chuckled, vaguely wondering what Shizuka would have to say about the situation.
Nothing probably; he'd just glare and cross his arms pouting. (Of course, other people wouldn't dare perceive it as pouting but Haruka had known the boy his entire life and he knew those expressions better than anyone.)
"You look gloomy," he stated, gently running his hand over the soft but unruly black hair. Kimihiro huffed and pulled away, bi-coloured eyes glaring and red rimmed.
"Not of my own accord, let me assure you," he growled, angrily swiping at his eyes. "Besides, it's more frustrated than gloomy." Haruka smiled, opening his arms again and allowing Kimihiro to fall back down into his arms, finding a source of safety and security in his confidants embrace. "Doumeki is being stupid again, but what the hell is new with that?"
Haruka tightened his arms around the slender shoulders, pulling his own body back against his chest. He waited until Kimihiro calmed down enough to continue.
"That bastard kissed me then ran away," he grumbled sourly, turning so he could rest his head once more on Haruka's shoulder. "Then he avoided me for the rest of the day."
"I'm sure he'll come around and realize what he has in his grasp," Haruka assured him, petting him again. Kimihiro sighed, relaxing enough to wake up from his dream world and begin his day.
"I hope you're right Haruka-san..."

In the end Doumeki had been giving Watanuki space and time to think about the course of actions he'd taken. It wasn't that he'd been running away because we all know that Shizuka doesn't really run away. Enjoy~!
