Summary: When you're the only one forced to live forever it can become a lonely existence fast.|
I
Being immortal wasn't all it was chalked up to be. In fact, it was a fairly lonely profession to take part in. You saw countless years and centuries fly by and multitudes of people you loved grow old and die while you remain the same, eternally trapped in times loving embrace. Watanuki didn't know how much more he could take before he threw caution and Hitsuzen into the wind and killed himself, even if it meant going to the after life sooner than planned. As things stood he wouldn't be making it to the after life so it really didn't matter. At least he'd be able to see Yuuko and the other's he'd met and befriended, hopefully.
However, he didn't expect to become so completely enamored with the priest he went to see to inquire about the fine print that came with the permanent contract he was about to sign with death. He decided perhaps it was worth it to wait until the man died to follow him, feeling uneasy about the prospect of falling back into the grasping hands of the very beings he had wanted to escape when he accepted the bid for immortality and getting his soul torn to pieces.
Doumeki didn't seem to mind spending an eternity with him to keep him company and give him protection.

Yeah, Yuuko unfortunately moved on with Mokona's and them. A sad day, but alas necessary. Also, before I forget like I almost just did, I'm going to a place with zero internet access for a couple days, maybe more, so I'll see you all when I get back, 'kay? I hope none of you mind the wait terribly...? Love you all!!
