I
After Watanuki had steadfastly refused to say what had happened in his dream, though Yuuko had a scarily knowing smile on her lips when they had left with the newly discharged archer, Doumeki had practically stalked him back to the shop, making himself comfortably in a long routine of following him around like a lost puppy dog. Watanuki, after hours of annoyance due to the taller boy, had grabbed Doumeki's hand and dragged him around to the back of the store, glaring at him with crossed arms and a severe posture.
"What do you want already?!" he demanded, gritting his teeth in a half-assed attempt at reigning in his temper for the other boys sake. Doumeki stared back at him with narrowed eyes, lips pressing together as his arms came up to mimic the smaller boy. Watanuki rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Fine, so I know what you want, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to tell you. Besides, why do you care so much what Haruka-san says or does in my dreams, hm?"
Doumeki didn't answer, merely maintaining his gaze. Watanuki's shoulders slumped and the fire in his glower lessened.
"All right, fine, so he's your grandfather, but so what? It's my dream and our interaction and it's private! P.R.I.V.A.T.E, get me?"
Doumeki shook his head and once more followed Watanuki's example, stepping down to Watanuki's level. Dark eyebrows pulled down over duel coloured eyes, confusion easily read.
"So... you're not looking to find out what Haruka-san said?" His tone was timid, testing the grounds of his fellow students wishes. Doumeki shook his head and continued to stare, barely blinking. The bandages covering the stitched wrist became visible when the taller boy moved, making the guilt slam into him harder than ever. "So what do you want to know?"
Doumeki completely lost any semblance of his glare and smoothed his face over with a blank expression. He took one step closer to close the space between them and dipped his head down, pressing a soft, slow kiss to Watanuki's lips. When they moved apart Doumeki remained where he was, their noses nearly touching in their proximity.
"I want you to know that I'm here, no matter what."

And there's the latest one. God, I had the perfect idea for this and then I left it and my train of thought completely derailed. It's annoying.
