Elevators, I had never really had a problem with them, in fact I liked that weird feeling they gave you when you got to your floor. I liked being nice and asking, "What floor?", when someone else got on.

Sure I sound weird, but elevators are just there, I ride them at work, I ride them in my apartment complex, so there's nothing I'm more acquainted with than an elevator. Despite all this love I have for elevators, the one thing I will always hate more than any other elevator experience is an awkward elevator ride.

Whether the person causing the awkwardness is just a stranger that breathes too hard or a creep that's standing too close for comfort when the elevator's completely empty, awkward silences are the object of all evil.

With this being said you can imagine how I felt having to ride the elevator, with Takano. Not just at any random moment though. No, it was the day after the company New Years party. Therefore meaning any silence I would have with him would be beyond awkward.

That morning I got to work a whole 4 hours early. I was the first person in the building other than the caretaker so I strolled into the elevator, relaxed because I wouldn't have to deal with Takano till at least 4 hours later.

Everything went swimmingly, I pressed number 8 on the elevator that took me to Emerald but my time there was short-lived, seeing as I wanted coffee but that was on the sixth floor and I needed to print some things and the printer was on the ninth floor. So I took my bag with me and left my jacket behind, I was casually stifling a yawn as I waited for the elevator to arrive and as the doors dinged open I was greeted by Takano who was four hours early to work.

I instantly turned around and walked in the opposite direction which was also short lived since he grabbed me by my collar and pulled me in the elevator. I sighed and pressed 6 and the old elevator began its rickety course down the elevator shaft. "Oi, Onodera-." Takano's speech was cut off by the elevator crashing and creaking to a stop right before we arrived at the seventh floor. "The hell just happened?"

I threw my bag on the floor and started freaking out instantly. I had heard stories of it before but never in my life had I been in a broken elevator that was stuck between floors. I joined my bag on the floor and started hyperventilating while Takano casually pressed the emergency button behind me. After pressing it multiple times he joined me on the floor. I turned to look at him, "Well?!"

He looked at me blankly, "Well what?"

I slapped my forehead, "Is anyone coming to get us?" He stared at me for a few seconds then shrugged his shoulders. "What do you mean *shrug*," I shrugged my shoulders just as he had to end my question and he sighed.

"The button isn't working, we'd better sit tight till someone comes to get us," I opened my mouth to yell again and he shot me a glare, "That means shut up." I closed my mouth and looked at my hands in deep thought.

"Why the hell isn't the button working?" I whispered the words to myself and it seemed like some divine being heard me because my question was instantly answered when the lights in the elevator flickered and turned off.

The power was out. The fucking stupid power was out and there was no one in the building but the old-ass cleaner, me and Takano. The lights were all off in the building anyway and the old fart was sleeping, he most definitely did not know we were in there, and wouldn't know till the building actually opened. I'm pretty sure the old-ass cleaner could not hear us anyway, so it was pretty much just us. Oh the stress.

So, I was sitting in darkness, enduring an awkward silence, while desperately tired and craving coffee. I was having an amazing morning.

"Onodera," I almost screamed when Takano decided to talk. His voice was friggin' deep, hearing that come from behind you in complete darkness wasn't exactly rainbows and puppy dogs. "Why are you avoiding me?"

"Who said I'm avoiding you?" My eyes were slowly getting accustomed to the dark and I saw him raise an eyebrow in the shadows. He pressed a button on his cellphone, looked at it for a split second then shined it on my face. I sighed, "Like I said I'm not avoiding you... I'm just avoiding the awkward silences that come with you." I sounded uncomfortable and I knew it, I was never any good at hiding my actual feelings.

I was most definitely avoiding him. Why? ...Well, it was the day after the company New Years party and An-chan just happened to show up and turn things into a giant mess at the hand of my mother.

"Bullshit. If you think they're awkward then talk to me, moron." I pushed the phone away from my face and stared off into the darkness next to me.

"Yeah, 'cause there's no better way to tell someone you love them other than calling them a moron." Then as per usual I felt the heat of Takano's body slowly inch closer.

"I love you." He kissed me lightly on the cheek then went for my lips, "Even if you are a moron." The insult to my intelligence snapped me out of the romantic haze that came with Takano's heat. I obviously was not thinking straight since I grabbed him by the hair and pushed his head away from my face.

Sensing what I had done was well... stupid, I got up and started banging on the walls of the elevator only to have my mouth covered by one of his huge hands. My screams for helps came out as muffled squeals as he pushed me onto the elevator floor.

I never really noticed but that elevator was huge. If there was enough space for me to panic and run around in circles, it was definitely significant in size.

Well, back to Takano pushing me onto the floor. Obviously with him pushing me onto the floor his ulterior motives were shining through, at least to me they were. So, the calm side of me decided to give him a lecture, but the calm side of me was obviously not very mature. I pushed my way out of his iron grip and stood up. "NO, NO, NO! We are not having sex in an elevator, you'll probably slam my head against the wall so hard I'll pass out, and then I'll wake up plunging to my doom!" I paused and pointed at him, then started to imitate a man masturbating as angrily as I could without laughing, "With you wildly jerking off next to me because you're some sort of crazy adrenaline junkie with a fetish for passed out people!"

He stared flatly at me before letting out a breath of a laugh, "What kind of crazy sleaze do you take me for?" He said, then he proceeded to actually laugh. For some reason he sounded content as he leaned back against the wall of the elevator. "What's up with you today, you're really out of sorts."

I really was and I had no idea why. It was just one of those days, where you wake up with that on coming feeling of doom and are on edge for the rest of the day. Only, I had to be awkward while I was at it.

I sat down awkwardly across him and fidgeted with the zipper on my bag. "You know Onodera, we never get to just talk." That's you and your stupid libido's fault dickwad, I thought flatly to myself. I felt him glare at me from across the elevator and noticed that I had been openly voicing my thoughts, it had been happening much too often for my likings.

He continued to stare at me from across the elevator, pressing at me with his gaze. I turned and looked in the direction of his cellphone's light, squinting awkwardly and sighing. "You know I really do love you Ritsu, I don't know what I have to do to make you understand that." I heard the ruffling of his clothes as the light shifted and I felt his usual heat radiating as he slid into the spot next to me. "Just say it already Onodera!"

The heat rose to my face as I looked in the direction of the floor, "Say what?" I gulped.

I felt his heat lean in closer and his slight stubble rub across my neck as he kissed the side of my neck. "...Come on."

I sighed as a felt his arm loop itself around my waist and pull me closer to his hard chest.

"I.."

What the hell was I about to say?

I gasped in surprise when I felt his warm tongue on my neck. Only he would be handing out hickies at a time like this.

"I really do l-l-o-o-v," I DID NOT REALLY L-L-O-O-V ANYONE, ESPECIALLY NOT TAKANO!

"You really do what?" He pulled me closer slightly squeezing my thigh with his free hand.

"I really do lov-" Right as I was about to finish my sentence the elevator wailed awkwardly and went tearing down the elevator shaft.

That was not how I saw my life ending, tired and hungry while stuck in an elevator with Takano. Ugh.

We both grabbed on to the railing on the inside of the elevator and nervous tears rose in my eyes. There was so much I hadn't done, I hadn't managed to throw off the engagement so I was going to die an engaged man, An-chan would be devastated and my mother would probably think I saw death as the easy way out. Plus, I had fresh hickies on my neck and was about to die with maker of said hickies. That situation spoke for itself.

All of a sudden the elevator stopped and sent us both flying back to the ground. "Are you okay?" Takano was pulling himself up from the corner of the elevator and looked at me.

I nodded in response and blinked into the darkness, too shocked to speak.

"You know I feel like you were saying something really important there, I completely missed it. What were you saying?" He sat in front of me on his knees, a slight curious look in his eyes.

He could stay curious for all I cared.

What I was about to say would never EVER, EVER, be told to him under any circumstances.

ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
