Hello this will be my first fanfiction. And since this is one of my favorite anime I decided to base it on Ritsu and Takano.
You may noticed that I call Onodera by his first name throughout the first chapter and just Takano instead of Masamune. That's mostly because it makes it shorter to write (sorry if I sound lazy, I'm not trying to be.) Anyways this may be like many years late since there's many fanfictions out there of these two. I might include dialogue for the future chapters, not entirely sure yet.
Sorry if there are any errors. Rated T though may be M because of the words used.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sekai ichi Hastsukoi or any of it's characters(I own Haru though)

Enough of that enjoy the story~

Falling all over again

Chapter 1

Hell week, the worst possible week where you literally see hell. In between running around getting manuscripts and threatening authors to get their manuscripts done you lose sleep and feel like I'm feeling right now. Which is like crap, I have bangs underneath my eyes from lack of sleep, my hair's a mess, and I haven't taken a shower for at least two days.

When you thought everything couldn't get any worst our boss starts yelling.

"Oi everyone stop drowsing off and get back to work, the sooner we get through this the better!" Yells Takano from his desk.

"Takano-saaaan stop yelling I feel like my head will explode and I already have a headache" says Kisa tiredly at his boss.

At least I'm not the only one that feels like crap. I sigh and lay back in my chair. I hear my phone buzz and I make an effort to pick it up. Not looking at the caller ID, I raise the phone to my ear.

"Hello" I managed to say, which only sounded like someone dying.

"Wow looks like someone's in a bad mood!" Says a cheerful voice on the other end.

"Who are you again?" I ask bluntly.

"Ritsu! What the hell is wrong with you? It's Haru duh. Who the hell do you think I would be!" Haru screams at me and I held the phone away from my ear suddenly.

"Stop screaming I already have a bad enough headache for you to make it worse. So what do you want?" I say and suddenly feel pain on my head.

"Takano-san what the hell?! That hurt!" I say through gritted teeth, rubbing my head in pain from the book he threw at me.

"How many times do I have to tell you to limit your personal calls! Also if you have time to slack off you should do your work.

"I already finished!" I snapped back at him which only made him ignore me and went back to yelling at another person in the phone.
Jerk. I pay no attention to him as I continue to talk to Haru, who was really silent throughout the whole thing.

"So what is it Haru? Hurry up before I get another book thrown at my head or worse I end up killing my boss."

"Well that just happened. Anyways Ricchan can I stay over at your place for a few weeks?"

I sigh and think about it for a few seconds before I answer.

"NO"

"Your so mean why not?"

"Because I have a feeling that your just going to goof off the entire time if I let you stay." There was silence for a few seconds.

"I promise I won't. I'll be your helpful little maid even."

I snort and say "More reasons to not let you stay, you just proved my point. Also don't say disgusting things your a guy,
just because you look like a girl doesn't mean you are one."

"You do realize I look a little like you right? Meaning you just called yourself a girl."

"Tch" I click my tongue, knowing I have no comeback to that.

"Looks like I won, so can I stay?"

I sigh in defeat and say "Fine but your sleeping on the floor."

"Seriously you couldn't even say the couch?"

I smirk and say "Your not worth the couch." As i said this I feel people staring at me.

"Wahhhh Ricchan is so mean. I hope your boss hits you harder with a dictionary this time."

"Keep arguing and I won't even give you a blanket so you could freeze to death."

"Oh well look at it I'm going through a tunnel. I'll be at your house tomorrow by 10 am. Bye-bye Ricchan!"

Then there's silence on the other end. I sigh and close my phone to put it in my pocket.

"So why are you guys staring at me?" I ask glancing towards my co-workers who are staring at me with a scared look.

"Wow I knew you were mean during hell week but I didn't know it was this bad" says Kisa, in which Hatori and Mino agree by nodding.
I shrug and look at the pile of work, that seemed to increase as I was on the phone. Damn it Takano!

"This is going to take a while" I muttered under my breath.

"So who was that you were talking to?" Asks Takano narrowing his hazel eyes at me. I glare back crossing my arms at my chest and say "Non of your business." And with that I continued my hellish day. Takano didn't bring the matter up though because moments later Yokozowa came in yelling at him.

I glance at the clock and continue editing the manuscript. Only an hour left, that's all I have to suffer through and then I can can get home and sleep on my bed. I wonder when was the last time I slept on my bed. I probably won't sleep either way with Haru staying over. He's like a ball of cheerfulness and happiness combined with pink and fluffiness. The exact opposite of me. He's my cousin from my mom's side of the family. I haven't seen him in years. I better let him stay away from chocolate, since he gets even more hyper with it.

It seems I was deep in thought because both Yokozowa and Takano yelled at me "GET BACK TO WORK!" I snap back to reality and quickly get my red pen to edit the manuscript in front of me. Looks like hell week is true to its name once again.

~An hour later~

"Good work you two, I'm leaving for today." Says Kisa struggling to get to the door. Everyone has left now leaving Takano and Ritsu the only ones left.

Ritsu who finally wakes up from his long nap from passing out twenty minutes ago. And Takano who looked dead just staring off into space. I sigh and wipe a bit of drool off the corner of my mouth with my sleeve.

"I'll be taking my leave as well." I say to Takano, standing from my chair and start gathering my things. Which mostly consists of papers, and more papers, and manuscripts, and more papers. I wonder how many trees we have killed so far...

"I'll go with you. Come to my apartment. I'll make you dinner" Takano says standing up as well.

"There's no need for you to do that-" As I say that my stomach starts growling. I feel heat rush up to my face and Takano lets out a small chuckle.

"You were saying?" He says with a smirk on his face. I sigh and nod in defeat.

I start walking towards the elevator with Takano by my side. I take a quick glance at his face. He sure has changed over the years.

"You know you have changed over the years." Says Takano glancing back at me.

"A-are you some kind of mind reader or something" I stuttered out.

"something like that."

The elevator arrives and we step inside it. As the doors closes I feel Takano's fingers intertwined with mine. I try to pull away but he grips my hand tightly.

"Can you let go of my hand" I say to him.

"I'm never letting you go again." He say staring into my eyes and suddenly I'm out of breath. When those eyes stare at me with such seriousness in them is as if I can't utter another word.

Without thinking I say "Why after all these years do you still love me? Why me?"

I let out the breath I was holding, waiting for a response. And then it seems as if time stopped, trapping us in place.
Only us and no one else. Is as if no one needs to know the secrets that only we share. Is as if life wanted to give us a second chance together.

And that concludes chapter 1. I wonder what Takano is about to say... (I know cliffhanger, but you need those from time to time.)
Hope you enjoyed the story. Please review it will be helpful for me to hear your thoughts and ideas on this story, since I'm new at this.
I don't know when I'll put the next chapter up(well I should write it first hehehe...) but hopefully before school starts because then it will become impossible to update, but I will try at least. ^.^
