There is a quote that's author is unknown and for as it goes "What was has nothing to do with us". Now for whatever reason you chose to live this way I warn you it isn't wise. Yes people do change and yes it's the past but have you not realized that the past you made the present you?
If you were to simply forget the past then what stops you from forgetting who you are now? And the ones you care for, what of them? If they simply left the past in it's lonesome will they forget? So I say let the past be reviewed and studied no matter how filthy it may be. If we didn't learn from the past we wouldn't have history books.

"Ritsu." Takano attempted to wake the boy up but his stubbornness shows even as he sleeps.

"Your manuscript is late." he griped falsely through his teeth. Naturally that got Onodera Ritsu up and bright eyed. Jumping up out of Takano's bed Ritsu nearly knocked Takano down.

"I'm sorry, I'll call Mutou sensei right away!" he gasped as he dived for his cell phone. Watching in amusement Takano said nothing of the joke to him. Listening quietly as he talked on the phone. Wandering out of the bedroom Takano followed waiting to hear what he wanted to hear.

"Oh I see, I apologize for disturbing you on your day off and yes I promise to get well rested." Ritsu hung up the phone and turned around very slowly. Heat rolled off of him in waves, his face was red and he shook with rage. Takano almost imagined steam rising from his head with a high pitched squealing noise like those tea pots did. Grabbing the nearest object which unfortunately happened to be his heavy bag he chucked it at Takano who caught it with a small grunt.

"You bastard! What the hell kind of joke is that, that's my work damn you!" He screamed and looked for yet another object to throw as a projectile. Takano walked up to him and held him for a few moments and for some reason Ritsu didn't pull away. The longer he stayed in those arms the more secure he felt. He was damn sure that his relationship with Takano was anything but secure even after a year of being reunited. As a matter of fact hardly anything was secure at the moment. His relationships, his job and his family all seemed as if they can swerve in the other direction at any given moment. And being completely honest it scared him knowing that Takano was the securest thing in his life right now and even he too could be stripped away from him. Even so he still was able to find comfort in his arms.

Takano released Ritsu with a knowing smile. Takano seemed very satisfied that his act of love was not avoided but instead accepted endearingly.

"Come on, it's our day off let's go have some fun today." Takano kissed Ritsu's forehead resulting in a breath taking blush on the latter's face. Before a protest could be heard Takano walked off into his bedroom to dress himself properly.

"If it involves any of your nonsense then no!" Ritsu replayed the events of last night while holding his hips. The throbbing was less dull than it was a few moments ago, gritting his teeth he walked out of Takano's apartment to his own. Unlocking his door and entering his apartment he cringed. It looked like absolute shit compared to Takano's apartment, Ritsu's work material was scattered everywhere almost to the point of it being dangerous.

Traveling as slowly as possible to his closet Ritsu's unlocked door opened and Takano invited himself inside the death trap that was Onodera Ritsu's apartment. Sighing he started to organize the chaos while Ritsu showered. Something stood out among the clutter though, Takano bent to pick it up in which he identified the object as a simple photograph. A photograph of Ritsu and the Onodera family plus An. "What's it doing randomly sitting out in the open?" Takano thought with a finger to his mouth. Feeling a tad bit guilty for prying he almost was about to tuck the photo away. Key words being A TAD BIT and ALMOST. A shirtless Ritsu walked into the room at that moment and he appeared to be looking for something.

"You really shouldn't leave stuff like this out in the open, it must be very valuable to you." Takano flipped the photo between two fingers. Ritsu jumped in shock which quickly turned into horror and anger. Nearly sprinting toward him he snatched the picture out of Takano's hands.

"Stop poking around and get out of here, I have to go back home today so I implore you to stop bugging me." Ritsu spoke as calmly as he could and it was then that Takano saw the overnight bag in his hands. Takano watched earnestly as Ritsu slipped on a shirt and laced up his shoes. "A picture of his family and now he's visiting?" Takano eyed Ritsu suspiciously. Ritsu gestured towards the door with his key in hand ready to leave the apartment. Takano took a few deliberate steps toward the door and weighed his options as the door shut behind them. He could A:force Ritsu to speak or B:wait the situation out a little bit or perhaps maybe he could go with C:go with him to his family's home.

"Hmmm better go with C" Takano smirked at his own thought.

"Have a nice day Takano-san." Ritsu bowed his head uncharacteristically and walked into the elevator. Takano followed him into the elevator and without realizing Ritsu let out a sigh. He seemed tired or maybe stressed. The entire time Ritsu kept his eyes close until the elevator dinged onto the first floor. Realizing there was a figure beside him he looked to his left side.

Though he wasn't surprised and just simply walked out of the elevator without a word, Takano in close pursuit. Several times he tried to lose Takano in large crowds but to no avail.

"Stop following me damn it! I am just visiting my family what the hell do you want?" Ritsu stopped at the start of the cross walk and pushed the button. Takano had enough of this behavior.

"Tell me what is wrong with you, you've been an ass all morning, what happened?" he shook Ritsu and grit his teeth angrily. Ritsu was glad to be arguing with him for some odd reason. Maybe it was a good enough distraction to his problems either way he accepted the distraction.

"None of your business nor concern!" he walked off onto the crosswalk, perhaps the worst mistake he ever made. A car sped down the road paying no attention to the red light nor the pedestrian walking in the street. Shock hit Ritsu as he realized his mistake too late. Fear pierced his heart and the car made contact.

"RITSU!" Takano ran over to where Ritsu's body lay. The driver who now noticed he had hit someone exited his car. He simply frowned at the limp boy and walked into his car once again speeding away from the scene. Takano lifted Ritsu into his arms murmuring Ritsu's name hoping he'd wake up. He slid his phone out and called 119.

"What's your emergency?" the operator spoke.

Sorry guys, I know that you must probably hate me for that. I can only warn you now that it gets much worse as I am sure you already know. Anyway please review, I will update as soon as humanly possible. Keep smiling! -Lonescript
