Chapter Genre: Angst/Romance
Summary: Everyone needs to feel for themselves every once in a while.
I
There are a myriad of ways to express sadness, both physically and verbally. The ways Watanuki showed his, by conscious degree or otherwise, was usually through tears, downcast stares, guilt, and agony released for others. But that's what it always was with him; everyone else was permitted to grieve for themselves, but he could never spare a second thought for his own sentiments and emotions. It made Doumeki think about how truly lucky he was to have the life that he had led thus far, but damn he wished that Watanuki would break down and just feel for himself instead of making himself into a casket that other people's feelings were channeled through.
So when he was finally pushed to the brink Doumeki was there to hold and protect him in his state of vulnerability. After all, after sadness comes happiness and Doumeki was all too willing to share it with him.
