I
He didn't know why he tried anymore; everything he did was always under appreciated and demeaned. Even when he completed a given task with perfect execution they ridiculed him, spitting harsh accusations at him. It was wholly unfair to say a perfectly tender roast was dry and chewy. But his supposed 'caretaker' was ungrateful and he didn't hold the hope that it would get better anytime soon.
That lack of feeling was the reason he was so hostile to the person he would later find salvation with. Just as well; Doumeki was as amused by the servant boy's antics as he was enraptured.

Cinderella; Holic style. :D You know Doumeki would stalk Watanuki if he was a servant in another persons house (more so if he was working at the palace).
