"Oi." Doumeki stated from the window of Watanuki's apartment. Doumeki thoroughly enjoyed the look that appeared on the seer's face when he scared the wits out of him. The best part was when he fumbled for a plate he had been cleaning. Ah, life was good.
"D-Doumeki! I have a fricking DOOR you know!" he screamed at him while trying to slow down his accelerated heart rate. "What are you doing here anyways?! Don't you have a life?!" He flailed at him when he finally decided to climb all the way in.
Doumeki merely looked at him and held up a bag. It had some unreadable name on it in blue. "Rented some movies," he said with a complete blank look on his face.
Watanuki spluttered something incoherent then finally started making sense. "Why did you do that? Why did you bring them here?" He asked firmly as Doumeki remained standing there.
"No one is home." The archer stated blandly.
"What else is new?" He rolled his eyes. "You still didn't answer my question."
"Aren't movies best watched with other people?" He said and moved into the living room then eloquently plopped himself on the tiny couch. There was a pause before Doumeki turned himself on the couch and said, "Make popcorn."
Watanuki made some unreadable sound, "Why would I do that?!" He crossed his arms and looked at a spot just above Doumeki's head. Doumeki blinked.
"Because that's what people do." There was a pause as he looked at Watanuki. "You do have popcorn, don't you?" Doumeki smirked a little.
Watanuki growled, "Maybe! I don't really entertain guests much, you know!" He stomped off into the kitchen to look for popcorn for that possible member of the Seven Deadly Sins. "Stupid glutton…" He muttered to himself.
Later, Watanuki came back with a decent sized bowl of fresh popcorn. He set it on the small table next to the couch and sat down next to Doumeki, trying to keep as much space between them as possible. He huffed, "So what are we watching anyway?" He rolled his eyes over to Doumeki.
He stood up and put the movie in. "You'll see." Watanuki huffed and crossed his arms and legs, seemingly not enjoying the company. Doumeki smirked a little to himself.
He liked making Watanuki irritated, and he thought he knew him well enough to know what set him off. Earlier in the week, he asked Kunogi the title of the cheesiest romantic movie she'd ever heard of. She had smiled and gave him the title, with what Doumeki thought was a small twinkle in her eye. He passed it off as a trick of the light.
Now, putting that same movie in, he thought he'd get a pretty good rise out of the seer. He was looking forward to it.
After the director and producer's names flashed on the screen, the movie's title slid onto the screen. Watanuki read it aloud, "Progressive Summer?" He glanced at Doumeki and raised an eyebrow. "What is this about?" He asked cautiously.
Doumeki shrugged, "Kunogi recommended it," He half lied. Watanuki immediately brightened.
"Oohh~! If Himawari recommended it, it must be good!" He swooned to himself, sparkles dancing around him. Watanuki was so gullible.
The movie continued and pretty soon it was obvious what kind of movie it was, but Watanuki didn't make a sound. Instead, he had grabbed the popcorn bowl (from Doumeki's hands, of course) and started picking one kernel at a time and slipping it into his mouth. Doumeki wasn't really watching the movie anymore and instead watched Watanuki.
The climax of the movie started:
"Hideki…" Ayame stepped up to him, her hands clasped to her chest. She looked into his surprised eyes, her face flushed. "We've been friends since we were young and… we've been through a lot together… Our parents dying, the hurricane…" she trailed off and looked away.
Hideki took her shoulders and pulled her into a warm hug. "I know Ayame… we lost… a lot…" Ayame sniffled against his broad chest and looked up into his tender eyes. He smiled softly, "But we also gained something wonderful," He pulled her back into the hug and whispered in her ear, "I love you, Ayame."
Doumeki heard Watanuki gasp and glanced over. The seer had his hand over his mouth and his eyes looked watery. Doumeki was baffled, but of course his face didn't show it. Watanuki was close to crying from this cheesy movie! He reluctantly looked back to the screen.
Ayame tensed in his arms and started crying harder. "Hideki… Hideki…" She chanted his name like a mantra. "I love you too, Hideki. I love you so much I can't even stand it!" She cried and cried into his chest and Hideki held her close. Finally, he had found his one true love.
"Let's stay together forever, Ayame. Together forever." She pulled away and looked into his eyes.
"Together forever."
The screen went black and Doumeki looked over at Watanuki and was only half surprised to find tears rolling down his pale cheeks. He was surprised, a little touched and a little heartbroken for him. He had been alone for so long… He decided to lighten the situation.
"Are you crying?" He asked softly. Watanuki visibly tensed and hid his face in his hands.
"N-no! I'm not crying!" He shook his head while his voice broke. He pressed his hands tighter to his face.
"I saw you crying."
"I'm NOT crying!"
"It's okay if you are." Doumeki said and Watanuki's hands separated from his face slightly.
"Why would it be okay?" Watanuki asked softly, his face still in his hands.
Doumeki shrugged. "I don't know, I just think it is."
Watanuki let out a breath and got up quickly. He walked around a corner and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Doumeki got up and walked to stand next to the door. Watanuki heard him walk up and said, "Go away."
Doumeki ignored him and stood there, listening. He heard cloth rustling and small sniffles. Even if he wasn't good with words, he decided to ask the question plaguing his mind. "Did it make you feel lonely?" The movement inside the bathroom stopped. There was no answer, and Doumeki didn't really expect one. "You're not, you know."
A soft, "I know," floated through the door. "But I am that kind of alone."
"That kind of alone," Doumeki echoed. He understood, "You're not that alone either."
"I think you're stupider than you look, because it's obvious I don't have a girlfriend or anything." He huffed from the other side of the door.
"You have me." Doumeki said slowly.
There was a long pause from the other side of the door. Then a slow sentence, "You don't feel that way about me." The tone seemed sad.
"You don't know that."
There was an even longer pause from the other side of the door. Then, the door opened and Watanuki stepped out slowly. He walked over to Doumeki and leaned his forehead to Doumeki's chest.
"We, too, have been through a lot together, haven't we?" Watanuki asked, his voice muffled by the direction he was facing. He was relating to the movie they watched before.
Doumeki lifted his hand and set it on top of Watanuki's head, petting his hair just a little. "Yeah, we have." His voice was smooth, clear and honest.
"And... you gave me a lot, too. And I haven't given you anything other than food..." He trailed off, his shoulders sagging.
"That's not true." He put his hand under his chin and pulled his head up. He traced just under Watanuki's right eye with his thumb. He smiled, "You gave me someone to love."
Watanuki tensed and pressed his head to Doumeki's chest once again. He weaved his arms around Doumeki and held him tight.
"I'm not alone anymore." He said shakily.
Doumeki wrapped his arms around the thin boys shoulders. "You never were in the first place."
Phew. Done. This one is pretty long, and I'm conflicted. I don't know if I like it that much or not. I think they're OOC, but I'm not sure. I'm a sap for movies, too. I cry when other people cry and I cry when a saddish song plays. Oh man. Reviews please! Edit: Added some stuff because I thought it needed more and a reviewer backed me up on that.
