From: Small Encounters series
Lunch…the Bento! II
A series of small encounter where Watanuki and Doumeki have lunch together. The beginning of Watanuki making lunch for Doumeki. There will be flashes of what else was happening in the chapter, since this is also when Doumeki first shows how much he notices about Watanuki.
“I heard about it too.” Doumeki said, finally contributing to the conversation between Watanuki and Kunogi. “The plug was on…but, the water from the pool is all gone!”
Watanuki glared at him, pointing his chopsticks in Doumeki’s direction in an angry fashion. “The plug was on, then how could the water flow away? And our swimming pool is so big! Don’t pretend to know everything when you don’t!”
Doumeki sighed inwardly and took a bite. “I don’t know!”
“But, it was raining yesterday!” Kunogi added.
Watanuki’s face fell and a worried look replaced his normally energetic one. “Yeah…” He said softly, pausing as he brought up a bite to his mouth.
Doumeki didn’t like to see Watanuki like this. Watanuki wasn’t himself unless he was energetically flaying about and screeching in his ear. “Maybe the ‘Monkey Hand’ will do something bad after you make those wishes?” Doumeki pondered aloud.
Watanuki’s face brightened. “You can tell?” He asked excitedly.
“No I can’t. Like I said before, I can’t see those weird things.” Doumeki took a bite of his octopus sausage. Watanuki’s face fell a bit and he looked away. However, Doumeki wasn’t finished speaking yet. He turned his head towards Watanuki and spoke again. “Because you didn’t want the trial teacher to open that thing, and said a lot of stuff! So I figured that thing was not good.”
Watanuki’s face had turned back towards his and was angled up at his. Doumeki had to fight the urge to put down his chopsticks and caress that innocent face, just to see what it felt like. His wide, honest eyes staring at him like that always seemed to do something to Doumeki.(1) However, before he could act on this strange feeling, Kunogi stepped in.
“Doumeki-kun knows so much about Watanuki-kun!” She exclaimed in a laughing voice.
Watanuki granted Doumeki the sight of his face heating up in a light blush as he shook his head vigorously. “No he doesn’t!” Watanuki denied.
Feeling like his normal self again, with no weird impulses towards Watanuki,(2) Doumeki decided to play with Watanuki some more. Pointing his fork at Watanuki he said, “Don’t forget to bring the eel eggs tomorrow.”
Watanuki bristled and reacted like normal. “DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!”
Doumeki smirked as he took his next bite. As much as Watanuki had complained about his request last time, he had still brought the fried chicken. He was sure to bring the eel eggs tomorrow.

Note: I had some free time, actually a lot of free time, so I decided to write this for you. I worked diligently for about an hour on this, so I hope it’s too your liking. Don’t know when the next one will be up, I need to go catch up on homework right now!
(1) If you don’t understand this, go back and read the First Glimpse series. I believe it is chapter IV. Yes, I just looked it up. It’s chapter First Glimpse IV and Doumeki has all these random thoughts about Watanuki… It was perfect, really.
(2) Again, go back and read First Glimpse IV if you don’t understand. Doumeki also had a couple of interesting impulses towards Watanuki. I believe one had to do with a nurse’s outfit?
