Chapter Text
“What is happiness?”
Watanuki blinked, glancing at the young girl walking beside him—yet another of Yūko’s customers—and wondered where to start.
“Happiness…” he replied, voice hesitant and soft. “Happiness is having someone to share your meals with, and someone to keep you company when you’re lonely. Happiness is knowing there will always be someone at your side, no matter the danger. Happiness is having someone you can trust with your life.”
“That sounds like love.”
Watanuki smiled wistfully, thoughts drifting toward the boy he had come to rely on so much. “Yes, it does.”
“Are you happy?”
“Maybe.”
