--------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Watanuki went to school like he normally did. He acted like he normally did with is words of praises to Himawari as well as bringing Doumeki's bento. When he had gotten home the other day, he had went straight to cleaning and finishing his homework. Once he had nothing left to distract himself, he had tried to sleep, but thoughts of Doumeki were popping into his head kept him from sleeping.
He felt terrible. Yuuko would no doubt know of the events that had taken place, so she'll just rub it in even more the next afternoon. But...
'Maybe now,' Watanuki had thought, 'he wont come along on these stupid missions Yuuko sends me on. Maybe now he wont get hurt.' He hoped he was right in his assumptions. Though, somehow he knew that it wasn't going to be that easy to avoid Doumeki Shizuka.
Now though, Doumeki hadn't shown up for lunch.
"After all the hard work I go through to make his damn bento and he doesn't show up!" Watanuki growled, clenching the cloth that was wrapped around the bento he had made for Doumeki in his hand. He had used one of his father's smaller recipes for Doumeki's lunch. One, he remembered, his father had used to make as a small apology to Watanuki's mother after an argument. He only remembered his father using that recipe once in his life as a child, but his mother had shared a little with him when he asked.
"Doumeki-kun said he was going to practice his archery today." Himawari's sweet voice had interrupted Watanuki mid-rant. He blinked in mild surprise before he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Why does he never tell me these things? I'm the one making his damn bento." He muttered, glaring slightly at the ground in front of him.
"You could always give it to him after his practice or you could drop it off for him now if it bothers you." Himawari replied, smiling.
"I wouldn't want to leave you alone, Himawari-chan! That would be so rude of me!" He sat down on the ground across from her and started to open his own bento, determined to forget about Doumeki for now. He didn't even get to remove the top before he paused. He really didn't want to see Doumeki right now anyways. But then the other bento would go to waste... 'NO!' He thought. 'Doumeki can just starve.' He got as far as placing his hands on the lid of his bento box to remove it when he paused again. Sighing, he stood. "I'll be right back, Himawari-chan. I'll just drop this off and then be right back. I'll make him eat it, even if he doesn't want it."
He left his own bento and grabbed Doumeki's before turning to leave. He really didn't want to see Doumeki, but how could he try to act normal if Doumeki wasn't even there?
It didn't take him long to find Doumeki, he paused to watch as Doumeki's aim hit the second ring from the center before walking over. He was wearing his archery clothes and seemed to be the only one there for the moment.
"Oi, Doumeki." Doumeki turned, surprise flashing in his eyes before the look of indifference he usually wore returned. "If you plan on skipping lunch, tell me ahead of time, you bastard." Once he reached to where Doumeki stood, he held out the bento. "Here. And you better eat it all! I came all the way here just to give it to you."
Doumeki stared at him before taking the offered bento. "What? No 'Thank you, Watanuki-sama?'" He glared slightly before waving it off and turning away to head back to Himawari and his own bento. He was only a few feet away before Doumeki's voice reached his ears.
"Oi."
Watanuki stopped on instinct. 'I should have kept walking.' He chided himself.
Sighing, he put his hands on his hips before looking over his shoulder. "What is it?"
Doumeki was silent for a moment before replying. "Do you like Himawari?" Watanuki was silent before turning his head away.
"Of course I like Himawari-chan! She's nice, sweet, and absolutely nothing like you. Plus, I wouldn't eat lunch with someone I hate." Watanuki continued muttering to himself as he walked away, leaving Doumeki standing with the uneaten bento still in his hands.
