Aloha! My fourth SIH fic already? Wow! Thank you guys for your continued support and kind words! I love you! 3
I decided to make this story pick up where it left off in the last fic, in a sense. This story can be read as a stand-alone (if you haven't read my previous fics), but please note: 1. It is years in the future; Onodera is now thirty-four and Takano is thirty-six.
2. Onodera has a twin sister named Riko and a niece named Rika. Riko took over Onodera Publishing House instead.
3. Onodera's family accepts his relationship. In fact, his mother and sister are fan girls. (LOL)
4. Onodera and Takano are married! :3 (Four years) Yeah, they probably couldn't be, but that's why it's fanfiction! Let me live my dream! D: Lol
If you don't like the above, sorry. Don't read it then! But to my previous readers: Welcome back! An almost-tragedy story for our characters! What will happen? Please let me know what you think. R&R please!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi. Just my OCs Riko, Rika, Tamo-chan, etc.
Enjoy~!
-Chapter 1-
"Geez, why did it rain so much?" Onodera complained as he stepped over yet another puddle. The rain had been so heavy lately, oceans of puddles were left behind. So much stood on the sidewalks, you could play hopscotch.
"We hardly got any rain during the fall; It was due to storm like this," Takano yawned, ready to go home. He and Onodera were walking home from Marukawa Publishing, only halfway to their apartment.
"Thank god for this week long vacation. I totally need it," Takano stretched, groaning. The Emerald Department had finished their work so early, Isaka granted them an entire week off for Christmas. And since Christmas was on a Saturday this year, they had Sunday to relax too before they went back to work.
"I get to spend an entire week off with my Ritsu," Takano smiled and Onodera rolled his eyes.
"You spend 24/7 with me anyways. We work together, we're married, and we live together. Don't you ever get tired of me?"
"Nope," Takano stated, "Do you get tired of me?"
"…No," Onodera blushed. Takano smirked and reached for his husband's hand, but Onodera swatted it away.
"No Masamune, we're in public," Onodera slapped his hand away again and Takano huffed in disappointment. He walked ahead, pouting slightly.
'What a baby!' Onodera chuckled to himself. Suddenly, his phone rang and he stumbled to retrieve it. He dug through his bag, finally finding it and flipping it open.
"Hello?"
"Ritsu, my baby! How are you?"
"Mother! Why are you calling me?" Onodera stood with Masamune at the street corner, waiting for the cross light to change. Hardly any cars were on the road today and it was only them at the corner.
"I can't call my son and ask how he's doing?" His mother whined.
"Fine. I'm good Mom. How about you?"
"I'm great! How's Masamune?"
"He's good too," Onodera lowered his phone and whispered to Takano, "My mom said hi."
He waved in response and Onodera said into the phone, "Masamune says 'hi'."
"Aw, what a gentleman! Ritsu, you have such a good husband! Bring him home for Christmas to see the family!"
"Mom, do I really have to go home to see the family?" Onodera groaned. He hated the family reunions on the holidays; they were always so crowded and pointless. At least people didn't badger him about taking the company now. He wasn't paying attention as the light changed, and Takano started to cross, not noticing Onodera wasn't following him.
In a slightly heated discussion with his mom, Onodera was yanked back to reality when he heard the screeching of tires. He looked up quickly to see a SUV speeding down the road, slipping in the rain-soaked streets. The driver stomped on the brake, the tires squealing in protest as the black vehicle continued to slide down the road way too fast. And it was headed right towards Takano.
"MASAMUNE!"
Onodera dropped his phone and bag, the phone clattering on the wet concrete. Onodera made a mad dash towards his lover, leaving his phone behind and his mom's voice calling desperately, "Ritsu? Ritsu!"
Takano turned when his name was called, finally seeing the SUV barreling towards him. He didn't even have time to think before everything happened in the blink of an eye. Onodera reached him first, pushing him to the ground. He landed on the opposite side, unharmed.
Takano heard a prodigious screech and the screams of people who watched on the sidewalk. The sickly sweet scent of blood suddenly cut through the air, making Takano gag. His heart hammering in his chest, he looked up only to gasp in horror.
"RITSU!"
O_O What happened?! Ritsu saved Masamune, but he made a terrible sacrifice! And his mother heard it all on the phone! Will he be okay? I love asking you guys these questions so you'll guess. Let's see who's right!
Please don't kill me because I hurt Ritsu! I love him too; I just wanted to write a sad story! I feel my stories have been over-the-top dandy and happy ;_;
See you next chapter! :) *Evil grin*
