Disclaimer: I don't own Sekaiichi Hatsukoi because of hair ties.
Masamune had to stifle a laugh when Ritsu came to work the next day because tying the younger editor's hair back was a pink hair tie. Ritsu didn't seem bothered by it at all; he just calmly went to work with…whatever he was doing, eyes scanning the storyboard in front of him attentively, red pen scratching away at any corrections that needed to be done.
Ah…he can be so cute sometimes…
Standing up with a long sigh, he passed by Ritsu's desk with a ruffling of those brown locks. Ritsu flushed pink, glaring down at the storyboards.
"Can I help you, Takano-san?"
Masamune flicked the small ponytail resting against the back of Ritsu's neck with a quiet snort of amusement. "I didn't know you liked the color pink, Onodera."
"I don't," Ritsu retorted, waving Masamune's hand away, to no avail. "My bangs were getting into my eyes and into my work—wait, why do I even have to explain this to you? If you don't need anything, please get back to work."
"Ah…" Masamune sighed, loudly enough so that the others could hear him. Ritsu only looked sourer. "Is that any way to treat your superior?"
Ritsu smiled tersely as he made a rather dark red mark on one of the character's speech bubbles in the shoujo manga he was editing. "A superior would be more responsible. We're at work, Takano-san. Maybe you should get to it."
Ouch. Masamune thought to himself, smiling crookedly. I never knew my little kouhai had such a sharp tongue.
Deciding that the younger editor had had enough teasing for the moment—and also because the others had started staring oddly at them—Masamune reluctantly yielded. "Yeah, yeah…" He made to head back to his own desk, but couldn't help but make one last comment over his shoulder at Ritsu, just to rile him up a bit more.
"It's nice to see you're finally getting into the shoujo manga spirit, Onodera."
He smirked when he heard the sound of a pen snapping behind him.
A/N: I don't even know, to be perfectly honest. This is just some random crap I pulled out of my head because I couldn't think of anything else to write.
