chapter 7:
Like he is trying to figure out something. Watanuki snorts if the archer wants him to teach him to cook he just have to say so, instead of creepily staring him like a murderous stalker.
Doumeki watch silently as watanuki cooks curry. He just watches without helping.
Contrary to what Watanuki would say about him. He is not lazy or a jerk. He thinks. He isn't sure. Doumeki finds himself contemplating, he shakes his head to snaps himself out of it. He'll ask an outsider sometimes in future, like Fuji or someone.
Now that he is not pondering on his existential crisis. He turns his attention to something more pressing like observing Watanuki cooks. Doumeki watches how the boy moves confidently in the kitchen stirring curry in the pot and flipping the tempura prawn on the fying pan at the same time.
Right. This is the reason he is not helping. It is not like Watanuki need his help anyway and also he have no idea whatsoever about cooking.
Doumeki lets his eyes trails Watanuki from his head to his rounded perfect..uh. Doumeki eyes snaps right to safe place like his back of head. Yeah. See safe. His neck. See safe. No temptation here.
Oh wow. He has never notice how fair Watanuki is. The contrast of his soft black hair against his skin. Watanuki probably bruise easily.
NOPE. Doumeki stops his thoughts from wandering into unsafe teritory. ABORT. ABORT. Seriously, he doesn't need a repeat trip to the bathroom.
Watanuki turns around and their eyes meet. Watanuki looks at him judgingly like he can read what going on in Doumeki's mind.
He hopes that not true. He can't imagine worst thing than that. Although, he wouldn't mind if it were the opposite. He wants to know what goes through Watanuki's mind whether the boy really dislike him as he claims.
Doumeki couldn't help his face from heating up. He stares down at the plate in front of him.
Seriously what with this newly wed vibe and what with his brain. Why all of sudden he is having dirty thoughts about Watanuki all the times. When does that even started? Doumeki face palm mentally, is he turning into a pervert or is he having a late sexual awakening? Maybe the enthusiastic yaoi fangirl at school has finally got to him. He have no idea.
His brain, of course reminds him that Watanuki's bathroom is 'suspiciously clean'. The traitor.
Watanuki frowns when he sees Doumeki is sitting at the low table and staring at his empy plate.
Of course not only that he didn't help in the kitchen. He just sits there as Watanuki carries the tray of the food. Watanuki grinds his teeth. Really.Who does he thinks, he is, the king?
"Thanks for the food." Doumeki comments as he shovel the rice and curry into his mouth. Exactly like the boorish cave man he is. Watanuki stares at him dissappovingly. He wonders if Doumeki had a black hole for stomach.
"Dessert." Doumeki ask monotonously.
What does the archer means by dessert? They had a bunch of them at the fancy little cafe like 3 hours ago. They are not going to have anymore dessert tonight. It is unhealthy.
Watanuki stares at the other boy pointedly as a response.
"I help shell out chestnuts. You didn't make them." Watanuki is shock by the tone of betrayal. Please like he is a bad person here.
"I made them. I made kuri kinton (a type of Dessert). " The archer looks at him in full anticipation. He almost feels guilty that they were not having them tonight.
We already ate a lot of dessert at the cafe today. We'll have them for lunch tomorrow at school. Doumeki glares at him.
"What I am only looking out for you. Okay? You are the top archer in the archery club. You have got to watch your diet or something to makesure you are always in top form."
Watanuki added. He hopes that it will put this whole issue to rest.
"I don't need to watch my diet." Watanuki stares at the archer surprised because wow a full sentence. He must have really wanted to eat them.
"I sure you have to watch what you eat. You can't just scuff down anything." Watanuki laughs. "You are an athlete." Doumeki roll his eyes and pull on Watanuki wrist and press the palm of Watanuki's hand to his abdomen.
Watanuki was staring into the archer eyes mouth open in surprise. He is almost in the other boy lap. He had one hand balancing his weight on the archer thigh and another pressed to the boy perfectly muscled abs. He feel the weight on Doumeki's callous strong hand on top of his hands.
The archer drags Watanuki's hand to his chest and his abdomen so the boy could feel it himself that Doumeki definitely doesn't not need to watch his weight.
He scans Watanuki face for reaction he hopes for.
Watanuki was just sitting still and staring at their join hands and Doumeki swallowed. He finally realise what he is doing. His face suddenly feels hot.
He stares at watanuki who was staring at him mouth open in surprise. He can't takes his eyes off the boy mouth. He feel compels to do something. Something indecent.
Just a little closer. Doumeki think as he bend down so that their lips could met.
"Sheesh." The boy pull his hands from doumeki hold and slapped him on chest. His face is red with anger. Doumeki pull back and straighten his body at lighning speed.
"I...'
His tongue feel numb and he can't think anything. Oh god. Oh god. He has never thought about what would he do if Watanuki rejects him.
"You.. "Watanuki balled his fist as he flail them in front of him. "How dare you?"
He has to explain. He has to tell the boy that he is in love with him. Why is Watanuki is so angry? Do Watanuki really hates him?
Life is so unfair. Watanuki wails. He has to agree life is unfair because the universe dangle the boy in front of him and make him think that he could have him but in reality he cannot because Watanuki does not want him. Watanuki wants Himawari and he know this but still his stupid heart had to fall head over heels in love with the boy.
"You. You...how can a 17 years highschool boys has abs. This is unfair."
Huh? Doumeki blinks confusedly and stares at the boy. Is that what all this is about?
"I don't care if you have abs. The dessert is for tomorrow and it is final." Watanuki says sternly. Doumeki just nodded dumbly in the end.
Next thing he knows he is lying on his futon at the temple staring at the celling. He was in so much shock that he didn't remember what happens after Watanuki said, "I don't care if you have abs. The dessert is for tomorrow and it is final."
All he knows that somehow he had manage to get himself home, change his clothes and lie on the futon. God, what is he going to do about his feelings for Watanuki. He don't think he will ever stop feeling like this towards Watanuki. He has a feeling that it will only get stronger. He is in trouble. Isn't he? Doumeki sighs and close his eyes. No point in dwelling. He still need to get to school tomorrow. His precious chestnut dessert is waiting for him after all. Oh. There is Watanuki too. He added afterthought.
A man got to have his priorities sorted out. Food come first then love. Everyone knows that. You can't survive on love. You need food to live.
