Canon
Both Watari and Kaori met when Tsubaki told him a certain girl wanted to meet him. Watari started flirting with Kaori in the moment she saw her since he found her really beautiful, much to Kaori’s delight replying that he’s a wonderful and funny guy. She told the trio she was a violinist much to Tsubaki and Watari’s surprise, but they happily told her Kousei is a pianist so they both could play together someday. Kaori invited the three of them to a competition she had, so they went and wished her luck. They took their seats but immediately Watari fell asleep since he was very bored, but at the moment it was Kaori’s turn Tsubaki woke him up and both of them started to cheer up for her. After she finished and the other violinists finished, they caught up with her and Watari congratulated her for her wonderful presentation. Days later Kaori and Kousei were going to present too, but both were going late to their presentation, so Tsubaki and Watari took them in bike so they could arrive in time. Watari was taking Kaori in his bike and Tsubaki was taking Kousei in hers, sharing some laughs and having a great time.

TIme later they revealed us Kaori has an illness and was taken to the hospital so Watari frequently visited her and bought her some sweets and desserts. One day Tsubaki, Watari and Kousei went to visit her to see how she was going, but on the moment they arrived at the room she was staying and opened the door, a nurse was washing her body and the three of them saw her almost naked. Tsubaki rapidly kicked Kousei and Watari on their faces so they won’t see anything else. On the next day they visited her again and she angrilly reproaches them for watching her while she was being washed, which she angrilly told Kousei and Watari they probably got excited. Kousei bashfully says he didn’t while Watari happily says he did.

Kaori was discharged from the hospital for a while and she accompanied her friends for the new year’s event. The four of them lit up some sparklers and they were seen having a great time. Kaori’s After they arrive When it was Kousei’s time to play, Watari calls Kaori, and the she put her phone on the table so she can listen. Kaori’s illness was getting worse, so she had to go back to the hospital and Watari kept visiting her. One day Watari and Kousei went together to visit her and while they were reaching her hospital room, Kousei admitted he loves Kaori, in which he happily tells mphim he knows and he will support him, for later teasing him that if they hurry and visit her they might see her fully naked. Unfortunately, they arrived and saw Kaori at the verge of dead, shocking both friends as they got paralyzed watching Kaori in that terrible state.

After Kaori dies, she sent a letter to Kousei confessing everything she couldn’t do when she was alive and she wrote that she never loved Watari, but he considered him a great friend she would like to soend time with. Later there’s a scene where a girl is reproaching him for “thinking in other girls” while he’s with her, to then to proceed to hit him in his face. After that girl leaves, Watari unlocked his phone and watced a photo he took with Kaori eating a crepe, as he was sadly remembering her.

Fanon
This ship is quite popular in the fandom, but it’s mostly not well-accepted since they both didn’t took seriosly their relationship, giving us since the beginning none of them wanted to be with each other. This was showed more in Kaori’s side as she only hanged out with Watari to get closer to Kousei, and this was finally revealed in the end when she admitted it in the letter she sent to Kousei but she wrote that she thinks as Watari as great friend. Also Watari didn’t take the relationship seriosly since he stoop Kaori up twice: first time when they were supposed to go for a walk in the park, and second time when Kaori wanted to surprise him after he was going out of his soccer training, but he left immediately with another girl without telling Kaori anything.

Even though the fans saw how terrible they were as a couple, many of them got relieved watching how they could have fun as friends alongside Kousei and Tsubaki like when they were going late to Kaori and Kousei’s presentation so Watari and Tsubaki rode them to the auditorium, or several times when Watari bought her some sweets and desserts. At the end there’s a scene where a girl is reproaching him for “thinking in other girls” while he’s with her. After that girl leaves, Watari sadly watches a photo he took with Kaori, implying he did love Kaori and she was the girl she was thinking in that moment.
