Hello there fanficition world! I know Lovely Complex had been over ofr ages but I wanted to add my little contribution to this amazing anime by creating this fanfiction. This is really a fun and short story about how Otani and Risa suddenly, well, get inverted in their heights. Hence the title. Hope you like it and have as much fun as I had writting this.
Disclaimer: If i had ever owned this manga I would have as far as getting them married.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Im home!" I yelled stepping into the apartment, man I was so tired being in a photo-shoot all day long. It went good, not amazing but it was a good day at work. We had been working for a whole week almost nonstop since autumn was over and winter was coming so new shoots for that season needed to be done urgently. The models I worked with Ioved the clothes I had chosen. The magazine would be out next month so in the mean time I had just minor things to do around the agency. I couldn't be happier. However I was incredibly tired and I sighed as I closed the door and looked around. The apartment looked empty.
"Otani?"
No response.
I sighed again. That meant Otani was in school, or doing some project, or giving extra classes to some kids. I hated those kids, they took away a lot of time from my own little kid.
I laughed as I made my way to the kitchen and then changed my mind. I was too tired to do dinner. I almost rolled to the sofa and laid there. Almost.
Reluctantly I went to the bedroom. Fine. I would take a shower and get dressed but first… I NEEDED TO SLEEP. AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES.
However when I entered all thoughts of sleeping were forgotten. There was a huge bouquet of flowers in the bed, and I mean it. HUGE. A Box of chocolates and a letter on top of it. I ran to it and tore the envelop open.
Happy anniversary Amazon! (And happy birthday too I guess)
I should be mad. I know I should be but I couldn't find it in me to do so. I kept reading.
I hope everything in the photoshoot went great. I wanted to wait for you but I had to go and run some errands before dinner but don't worry I'll see you on the rooftop at eight. Dont bother changing if you came too late.
PD: I you fall asleep on me I swear there will be no "fun night"
P.S.D: I SWEAR.
I laughed hard at the last part for a few minutes before I could control myself. I turned to see the clock. Damn it! Only twenty minutes to eight. Well a girl had to do what a girl had to do.
I ran to the bathroom to get cleaned up and dress, yes he said to not bother but how could I not bother? He was my almost six year old boyfriend. We had survived high school, got together and survived college after that we got an apartment and now we had been living under the same roof for more than one year now.
I wanted to look presentable.
I ran around the bathroom as I tried to get into a dress, put some makeup and get my hair done all at the same time. It ended on getting my dark blue dress a huge stain of red lipstick in the collar.
I made a face and looked to the clock. The clock ticked eight with ten minutes.
"Gawww im so late!" I screamed to no one as I quickly ended my makeup, made a bun over my head with pins and ran to the closet to get the next dress. It was green and I looked damn good in it. I went down to my knees and it was sleeveless. I nodded as I put on some flats (Cause lets face it, Otani hates to look small around me even if he had stopped complaining about it) and ran to the elevator, down the street to catch a taxi.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
She is always late. Always.
I don't even know why I bother planning and planning and doing massive notes around the house when she's basically the worst person in the history of being punctual. I sigh as I look around the rooftop where he had kissed and officially gotten together.
Six years ever since… I smiled who would have thought that we would last that much? I walk around the rooftop. The table was set, flowers and fancy dinner with all the things she likes, candles and I thanked god because it wasn't raining and it wasn't so cold. It was perfect. I sigh as I fingered a little box in my pocket.
I took it out and admired the ring before I defiantly shut it down with my cheeks red of embarrassment.
"Its been six years, you idiot!" I said to no one but me. Yes, six years and I still get red in the face because of the things she makes me do.
Finally I saved the box in my pocket. It had took me a lot of time to think about it but even if this was the perfect occasion to propose I wouldn't. I didn't want another related date. It was enough that her birthday came with our anniversary, now I didn't want another date to interfere. I wanted Risa's birthday to be hers. I know it didn't bother her or anything but it bothered me. She should be able to go out and celebrate her birthday without having to worry about presents for us.
So I shook my head. I had the date saved anyway, I would propose one month and two weeks for now. I had waited long enough isn't it? I could wait a little longer.
I smiled to the sky and that's when I heard the door open—or rather crashing down—when she appeared, I looked in her direction.
"You are late." I said casually and I was about to say something else when I just smiled at her, she was red in the face because she had ran all the way to the entrance and up the stairs to meet me. I was sure. And she was everything but an athlete, like me.
"Im… sorry." She said still holding the door for dear life as she regained her breath, I chuckled.
"Such long legs and you cant get here in time?" I said as I walked over her, she had her head a little bit low and her left hand on her heart trying to get life to her.
"Oh shut up." She said giving me a face.
"I have been waiting for ages!"
"I already said Im sorry!"
"Sorry cant solve everything!"
"I just came half an hour later!"
"Its almost nine you, idiot!"
"Excuse me then, If I wanted to look presentable!" She said crossing her arms already recuperated and turned her face away, I grinned. I was just messing around, I wasn't mad at all, so I took her hand and dragged her to the table, I heard her gasp.
"Oh-Otani…" She said and I dared to look at her face, she was flushing and a kind smile adorned her face. I couldn't help it.
"See? Even you can look pretty when you do normal faces."
Six years together and we couldn't just end teasing each other, even if we had grown up matured and had moved in together.
Koizumi instead of replying just smiled wider.
"Well, sometimes you can make me just that happy."
I grinned at her and then I sat her down before she could utter a word I bent down and kissed her, we kissed for a while before we departed, we both red in the face but smiling nonetheless.
"Happy birthday Risa."
She nodded happily as her hands clutched my t-shirt. "Happy anniversary."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I sat in front of her with a huge smile as she admired the table, the food, the flowers and then me.
"You did all of this?" I raised a brow with the sudden voice that she mentioned it.
I nodded firmly. "Yep."
"You are lying." She said looking around and then back at me. "You definitely got help!"
"Hey" I acted offended. "I happen to be a man full of resources!"
"Nobu? Nobu-chan? Nakao-chi?" She yelled around and I face palmed.
"What are you doing, you idiot?!"
"Calling for your helpers! You can have done this on your won. Lies!" She said and suddenly she looked under the table, at this I just had to laugh out loud.
She was just too fun.
"Lies! There's no one, how can that be?!" She said as she regained her composure and finally looked at me with a face. "So…"
"Of course there's no one here!" I said as my laughter stopped and then I got a bit angry. "I did this all by myself, thank you very much!"
I looked to the side with my arms crossed, after all the planning and all the errands I had to do to make this work she thinks I got help? Man, I didn't know I was so unreliable. After a second Koizumi kicked me under the table and I snapped.
"Oi! You get late and everything and you kick me?!"
However she was smiling at me and I stared at her.
"Thank you, Otani. I love you the most."
I looked down red faced and nodded. "So… blunt."
She laughed and finally I looked up.
"And Sorry about being late, I just wanted to look pretty."
I was red on the face but I just nodded to her.
"Its all right, its your birthday after all too." I said as I opened the bottle of wine. "Besides you do look pretty, worth the wait."
Koizumi smiled and gestured to me as I filled her glass. See? This is what I meant with maturity. In another times Koizumi would have fumbled with her clothes and looked down red in the face and shriek something, now we were perfectly comfortable with one another even if we get to embarrass each other from time to time.
"Well Otani-sensei looks not so bad himself."
I grinned and made a pose with my index finger under my shin. "I know."
"So cocky."
I laughed and we made a toast.
"For you, Risa."
"For us." She corrected and I nodded.
"For us."

Well this is kind of the prologue before the actions kicks in! Review if you like!
