Spoilers for the latest happenings in the manga, more specifically the latest two chapters that have come out in Japan, 186 & 187. Contains opium smoking, boys kissing, and something that can probably count as light crosdressing now that I think about it... but is not intended to be humorous.
I just wanted to write a little something for the new arc and I happen to rather like it.


The witchboy in the woman's kimono with the butterfly pattern (except almost all the butterflies have flown away) is smoking the opium pipe on the threshold of the shop, looking up at the crescent moon. Doumeki sits down next to him, quietly, and this is only one more of the thousand nights they have spent like this in the past four years, in still and silent companionship.

Watanuki glances down at him. His eyes, heavy-lidded and hazy, pierce through his soul (they always do) and the boy's fine lips curl into a lazy smirk around the mouthpiece. Then he pulls the pipe out and his lips purse around the puff of smoke, before forming a perfect "o" shape and calmly, slowly blowing out the fumes right into Doumeki's face. Doumeki doesn't flinch.

Watanuki smirks again as Doumeki leans in close to him. One more huff of opium, puff of smoke - over Doumeki's lips, and Watanuki's remain open, as if waiting or even - gods forbid - inviting ; so Doumeki kisses him.

Watanuki lets him.

When Doumeki pulls away, Watanuki opens his mismatched eyes and hasn't ever stopped smirking.

"Still ?" he only whispers.

Doumeki swallows hard, and nods.

Watanuki laughs, then, although not at him.
