The guy's strength may have resided primarily on his upper body, but he still managed to lock his legs around Watanuki's waist with a grip a clamp would have been proud of... HAHAHA I SEE WHAT U DID THAR. OH CLAMP, SEE WHAT YOUR BOYS ARE DOING? Sheer poetry, I say.
And then these two paragraphs:
Doumeki grunted in what could have been agreement or a "shut up and let me read." Watanuki was getting better at understanding Doumeki Speech (a local dialect of the more universally known Moron language), but he hadn't been able to get all the nuances yet.
...
Another grunt, which Watanuki didn't bother trying to translate this time around. It was encouraging the efforts Doumeki seemed to be putting into communication since they started being just-friends-damnit!, but sometimes Watanuki got tired of trying to decipher what he actually meant by what he said. Learning a foreign language was always hard. AWWWW WATANUKI. You're both trying so hard. I love that you've got Doumeki trying to talk and Watanuki trying to listen. IT'S SO DOMESTIC. ♥
AND THEN THERE WERE THESE LINES:
Watanuki rested his chin on Doumeki's shoulder and tried to follow the plot.
...
With a firm push, Watanuki relocated the lazy lump of Doumeki so that he was lying down fully instead of leaning on his elbow, and plopped down himself, using Doumeki's chest as a pillow.
...
Watanuki actually chuckled at that, and felt Doumeki begin to play absent-mindedly with his hair. He allowed himself to enjoy it for almost a minute before talking again, in a lazy voice. A;SKLDFJL;ASKJDF YOU. YOUYOUYOU. AND THIS. THIIIIS. Oh what I wouldn't give, I don't even. And WATANUKI WHY SO ADORABLE. YOU BIG KITTEN YOU. With the chin-on-shoulder and the Doumeki-pillow and the petting playing-with-hair. ARGH MY SENSES ARE OVERLOADED WITH THE INDESCRIBABLE CUTENESS.
and then the conversation about girlfriends without curves and girlfriends who aren't girls, and then PREGNANCY SCARES, ahahaha. did i say domestic earlier? IT DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DO JUSTICE TO THIS SCENE. the warmth and the love and the happiness...and the wrestling. XD;; a time-honored teenage pastime, i believe, one not even our boys can pass up. i'll end this comment by quoting one more paragraph, possibly one of my favorites ever:
Truth be told, there wasn't much room to wrestle properly, and a few thing were knocked over in the guys' mock fight, some of them acquiring irreparable damage in the process. But at the moment, neither of them could care less, since amusement eventually won over righteous anger, and soon they were laughing as hard as they could and intent on pinning the other to the floor for more than three seconds at a time, sometimes resorting to quite dirty tactics to achieve that.
A while later, though, their movements slowed, their laughter subsided and they stopped to regain their breath, clothes dishevelled, faces red because of the effort, stomachs hurting from laughing so hard and feeling completely at peace with the world.
OH MY DARLINGS. TRUE LOVE AND A HAPPY ENDING AT LAST. 8DDD
...okay i lied. one last quote.
Doumeki seemed a bit distracted staring down the open collar of his shirt.
BAHAHAHA OGLING YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S CHEST. ALSO A TIME-HONORED TEENAGE PASTIME, AMIRITE? oh doumeki, you shameless hound dog. >D and watanuki, you know you like it.
absolutely wonderful follow-up, love. i rate this fic ♥ x 1000, for copious amounts of giggles and glee.

Honestly, "Domestic" is what I was aiming for. These boys spend too much of their time chasing (or being chased by) supernatural things; I figure they'd go for a bit of normality in their free time.
I must admit, I really had to struggle to show them as a normal couple, doing normal couple things... just hanging around together, exchanging playful banter, and why not, wrestling (ok, that was more me offering a bit of fanservice, but who is complaining? XD). They are teenagers, after all (at least at this point in time, which is firmly AU now, but who cares), and every teenager has the right to be lazy and stupid and happy with their girlfriend significant other from time to time.
And yeah, I totally used the "clamp" word deliberately in that sentence. They would be proud of Doumeki making such clever use of his legs, wouldn't they? XD
