Summery:Nothing ever remains spotless.
I
Nothing ever remains spotless. The moment after it is taken from the package, dust and the fingerprints of others stain and sully the object, infecting it with the filth of the world. Doumeki had witnessed the tainting of many things, had tarnished many himself, but never before had he seen a soul so pure so late in life. He could see thin black streaks marring the white aura surrounding him where people usually had a dank gray completely overtaking their souls, the strain from the world almost immediately pressuring it into the change.
Doumeki could see that this boy was special and needed to be protected, cherished, and loved in order to retain his glowing innocence. Watanuki was not spotless, he had, in fact, been through much more than the average person. However, it was the way that he reacted to the abuse doled out to him that created such a drastic difference between Watanuki and the other people populating the world and Doumeki planned to stay by his side for as long as he could.

… Yeah... Doumeki can see aura's and feels not only compelled to protect the rare condition of Watanuki's soul, but also attracted to the innocent boy. :D You all know it's true (if you didn't think so then I'm willing to bet you wouldn't be here right now). ;)
