(Ryoto's POV)


It all started as a mere dare. Ryoto was out at a pub with his colleagues, one of them asked him how the hell was he able to read hardcore porn in public and still get all the chicks flocking at his direction. The nurses also seemed to think that he was some sex deity that can get into anyone's pants. "It's because they secretly want to be &*&%^ and get !%& %," he informed them with a grin that rose goosebumps.

A tipsy young professor then pointed out that Ryoto seemed to flirt with one particular vet more than the others, that was Tessho Iwashiro. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat at the name but he ignored it in favour of saying some shameless innuendo about it. The man then stood up and slammed the table, mildly surprising Ryoto. "AH-HA! BET YOU CAN'T GET INTO THAT GUY'S PANTS!" he pointed at the genius vet.

Ryoto, also with the help of booze in his system, took that as a challenge and told them that he could make Tessho bend for him, literally and figuratively. That resulted in a bet. Money was of course not an issue, losing was. The genius was not going to lose. He was going to get into Tessho's pants before the month ends.


The next day was a regular day at R.E.D section 2. It was late in the afternoon; Ryoto was in his office busy with his manga when Tessho barged in. The blond vet just received a patient that he had never dealt with before, and had to ask Ryoto for tips and suggestions. The older man happily provided him with them, not forgetting to put some extra twists of his own. Right after Tessho heard it all, Ryoto watched as the young vet ran out of his office.

Sighing, the man placed his book down and began to think about the bet he made yesterday. He wasn't thinking clearly and he sure didn't want to scare the blond away. But at the same time it was not his character to back down from a bet. He would need Tessho to think it's all him, not Ryoto.

Sure, many won't believe it but Ryoto swinged both ways. He actually preferred men over women. It wasn't that he was very gay, it was just because men proved to be more of a challenge. Ryoto could have women do whatever he wanted in a blink of an eye, it was so easy it got boring. Men however, would need him to get into their heads before letting him onto their beds. The bet would certainly be interesting.

He then wondered which one Tesshou preferred. Male or female? Driven by curiosity, he went out to ask the man in question.


"So," Ryoto said as he plopped down on a chair beside Tessho, who was engrossed with his lunch, "are you straight?" Seno and Inu simultaneously choked on their food, Ryoto waited for an answer with a smile. The blond vet stopped eating and stared at the man.

Silence.

Everyone on the table was staring at Tessho.

More silence.

"Wait- what?" was his only reply after like, a whole minute.


Seno explained what the question meant, only then did Tessho spit out his drink. Man, the boy was so adorably oblivious, it made Ryoto want to tie him up and- "Why do you want to know about my sexuality?" Tessho's question pulled him away from his thought. Damn.

"Just curious~" said the older doctor casually. This got him a very suspicious look from all three listeners. He turned towards the nurse and asked, "Nurse Seno, wouldn't you want to know too?" The blush only needed a second to conquer her face. "See? We all want to know," he smiled innocently and faced the pouting Tessho.

The young blond took a few moments to think before he sighed, "I don't know." Huh?

"What do you mean?" Ryoto asked.

"I- uh, haven't actually been together with anyone, nor have I done 'the thing' if you get what I mean. I'm not sure which one I'll prefer."

Silence.

Seno piped up, "Doctor.. you've never dated anyone?"

"Nope."

More silence.

Holy hell was he serious? Ryoto looked at Tessho's face. Oh, he was. Crap. Before he could hold himself, he imagined Tessho in positions that were not safe for children's view. Or anyone's view, in that matter. The images all went south to a certain spot between his legs. In haste, he made an excuse to part with them and take care of the growing little Ryoto in the privacy of his office.


Damn, that was a surprise. Tessho never dated anyone? He's a virgin? Wasn't he like, 25 years old? Ryoto sighed. Tessho was a brilliant and passionate man, and with a great body to top it up. Lots of people from either gender would jump him in a second, given the chance.

To Ryoto's surprise, his chest clenched at the thought of Tessho being with someone. That's weird. He should be okay with that. Maybe it's him wanting to win the bet?

Anyways, that meant Tessho wasn't 100% straight either, which would make things much easier. Now.. how would he make Tessho fall for him?
