After all the long, torturous months he had spent working as Yuuko's kitchen slave and house boy, Watanuki shouldn't have been surprised by anything that the wish granting shop could throw at him. But still, he still found himself astonished by the amount of alcohol the mistress could handle. He was still weirder out by the creepy innocence of the two soulless children. On occasion even, the black creature was able to pop out of random crevices around the house and nearly give him a heart attack.

But still, he had not expected being gang tackled when he first entered the house and tickled until he almost ruined his pants. He had been in good spirits up until that moment. Instead of spending the usual afternoon cleaning and cooking, they were planning on spending the day drinking in the park with Himawari and Doumeki.

"Really, Yuuko-san! What the hell was the meaning of that? Why did the four of you attack me?" Watanuki gripped loudly as he packed the cold leftovers and multiple cans of beer that would make up their picnic. Yuuko waited impatiently at the front door of the shop.

Looking over at the black creature on her shoulder, she smirked widely, "Maru, Moro, Mokona, and I think it's just so much fun to tickle you, Watanuki! You should have heard yourself. You were squealing like a little girl!" The cute duo of Maru and Moro giggled at their mistress's response and the dead fish face that the shop's servant was making.

"Don't take so long, Watanuki. Himawari-chan and Doumeki are probably already at the park. Do you really want to leave them alone together for so long?" Realization dawned in the boy's soft blue eyes and he quickly gathered his things. Before he could exit the fence surrounding the shop, he was grabbed by twin sets of hands and yanked down to a child's level. The two soulless children planted sweet kisses on both of his cheeks and pushed the surprised boy out of the gate.

The boy who can see spirits looked after the two giggling figures as they retreated back into the shop and then shifted his inquisitive gaze to his boss. The tall woman smirked broadly and shrugged her shoulders. "Beats me," she offered as she winked at the black Mokona perched on her shoulder. Said Mokona jumped from his perch on her and onto the empty shoulder of the bespectacled boy.

The walk to the park was an odd one. The black thing chirped and cooed and placed light kisses on his transporters cheeks. Yuuko chuckled to her self and offered strange glances as her only communication. The strange atmosphere wasn't made any more normal thanks to the random school girls that would giggle as they passed the group. Some even had the gall to blow kisses at the baffled boy.

At least they made it to the park. "Yuuko-san, Watanuki-kun! It's not usual for you two to be late," Himawari beamed at the two as they approached the usual spot they always met at. Before Watanuki could greet his Himawari back, he found her face dangerously close to his own. Her wide eyes looked up into his and her curious expression turned to a brighter one. She smiled brightly and chirper, "Alright," as she placed a chaste peck on his cheek.

It took a few moments for him to register what had just transpired between the two of them. Watanuki turned bright red and was about to unleash all his expressions of love when he felt Doumeki's face near his own. "Oi," Doumeki extended his index finger and poked the shorter boy's forehead, "What's that?"

Watanuki cursed under his breath as he wet his handkerchief under the cool water. He looked angrily into the mirror of the park's bathroom and scrubbed aggressively at what was on his forehead. Written in black marker was 'Kiss Me.' "So, how did that get there," Doumeki asked as he leaned against the wall by the mirror.

"Those creepy children must have written it on me when they attacked earlier. Damn it. I thought that kiss from Himawari-chan was real." He peered into the mirror and saw the marker had washed away all evidence of his embarrassment.

"It's all off?" the shorter boy nodded to answer the archer's question, "Good." One moment, Watanuki found himself glaring at his reflection and the next he was crushed against the taller boy's probing mouth. He was released reluctantly. His mouth burned and he fought to conceal the arousal from the waist down.

"W-Why?" He sputtered as his hand flew to his kiss-crushed lips.

"If I had done that while you were still labeled, you might have thought it was fake. The way I feel for you is very real."
