Untitled DouWata for the CLAMP Secret Santa.
Hey @sakurazuka-subaru this is my gift for you! I sorry it took me so long and that it was a late submission, I had problems with my tumblr app but is really no excuse.
As for the fic, I went for your second prompt but instead of a fake married AU I wrote this fic which is equally fluffy. I hope you enjoy it! *hands it happily*
I
Watanuki is overwhelmed by his friendsā willingness to give up so much for him.Ā
He is also suddenly very painfully aware of his mistreatment of Doumeki.Ā
āHe was badly hurt, all because of meā, he thinks, the unpleasant revelation hurting him. Himawari was also hurt, her sad eyes would hunt him for a long time, and still he felt he owed Doumeki big, in a way he was always in debt with the guy.
And yet Himawari had insisted he ought to have been more thoughtful of others and that he must think harder about what Doumeki really means to him.
He isnāt sure of what she means by that, what he is sure of is that he ought to apologize to him somehow.
He remembers Doumeki loves his cooking and he thinks maybe the best way to return the favor to him, the many favors at that, is to cook him lunch so he settles for a big one.
He is nervous, not even a few minutes have passed and he couldnāt decide which box to put it on, which form the eggs would takeā¦He was nervous.
The only shape available was a heart shape, he tells himself as he gives the eggs said form.
He is never hearing the end of this from Doumeki.Ā
And yet the idea of seeing him makes him strangely giddy and not annoyed.Ā
He passes his feelings for gratitude, after all he owes him too much.Ā
He settles everything on the kitchen, tomorrow he would face Doumeki without any idea of how it will turn out. He couldnāt explain what made him feel this way but he is eager to see him, he feels somehow that something has shifted between them.
He goes to bed thinking of Doumekiās reaction to seeing the lunch box. Will he be happy? He wonders.
Watanuki was never sure of what emotions Doumeki felt at any given moment, he felt he usually didnāt read him right. That he hides behind cold gestures.
He probably likes that of him too, he thinks out of the blue. He thinks as he picks up the food container and puts it on the fridge. Tomorrow would be a different day.
He goes to sleep easily, mind calm and feeling relaxed.
II
He wakes up and picks things up, the cellphone screen of his cheap prepaid phone shows Doumekiās phone number that he has just typed. He sighs and decides to call him, he canāt wait to give him the lunch box and thenā¦he has no idea what heāll do.
Doumeki finally picks up and he very quickly tells him meet up at the closest park and that he has something for him.
He doesnāt even gives him a chance to replicate anything and so he hangs up.
His palms are sweating and his heartbeat is accelerated.Ā
He thinks he now knows what he feels about Doumeki-san and why he is so nervous around him ever since the incident.
He is not feeling prepared for this. And yet he walks up to their meeting place, a nice park with children-themed attractions, feeling happy.
He picks his lunch box and goes to the place feeling determined.
III
Doumeki is there already. He wonders if he took an alternate way to the park, he has decided he should come clean to him about his feelings.
He doesnāt knows anymore if his life as replacement will last. No matter what others sacrificed, it still felt to him that it landed on hitsuzen.
And it was very often that he wondered if hitsuzen was simply playing with them all. Himself, Himawari, Yuko and Doumeki; destiny had them all dancing around each other as if they were puppets dancing on invisible things.Ā
He couldnāt leave things of his life up to destiny any more. He felt out of time.
He still wonders how he could be so blind when he looks at Doumeki, his face might be more subtle but the expressions are all there. The way his facial expressions look overall more relaxed, he thinks he can also spot it in the way his eyes look different, his gaze less distant and also slightly softer.
He takes the lead and grabs him briefly by the hand to drag him to some near spot underneath a tree, and Doumekiās expression is downright bewildered. His own hands are sweating and he is worrying about this gesture being too forward and being downright rude when he glances up at Doumeki and he is smiling softer than he has ever seen.
That makes him smile too, he decides that maybe letting his actions speak for himself would be the best way to act.Ā
He would tell him how he feels later, as he is too happy of seeing Doumeki eat something he prepared for him in such a happy way. .
Pairing: Doumeki/Watanuki.
Word count: 809.
Summary: Watanuki feels bad for never thanking Doumeki for risking his life for himself.
Written for which asked for a fake married AU and all I could think of was these two eating something Watanuki prepared. As is obviously not a fake married AU I apologize but I wanted to do something darker with your first option (which was Seisub) and just felt a secret santa needed to be more cheerful. Also I am sorry I am posting this so late, I have a very slow internet.
So here it is your gift *hands it happily*
