Highlights of this story: Chaps 4, 6 & 7.

Disclaimer: I wish Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is mine. :3

One thing that Onodera Ritsu didn't have is the balls to admit his love for Takano-San. Why? It will be better to question Onodera himself. Perhaps he was just shy by nature and was afraid to be hurt again, like how it was 10 years ago (despite the fact that it was a misunderstanding all along). While Onodera didn't admit his love for Takano, he was unable to accept the love from others, anyone else to be exact. Obviously, Onodera was dense enough to not realise that 99% of his heart was already taken up by Takano. There was no way, absolutely no way, of giving the 1% leftover to another, because he needed that petty little 1% to love himself. Nonetheless, we could always cling onto the faith that Onodera will change one day, soon, to admit his love for Takano and make up for the last 10 years that had been lost.

"Nani, why is Takano-san banging on his wall so violently now? It's almost 3am!" Onodera was disturbed by the sudden sounds coming from his neighbour's house that could not be deflected away by the thin walls that were separating their homes, or rather, separating them.

He rubbed his eyes and looked around, finding the clock's hour hand was pointing at 3. He thought that Takano-san was just venting his frustrations while editing the boring manuscripts. Onodera always knew that Takano-San was really hardworking and it was not surprising that he would still be working at the present time, way past sleeping hours.

What Onodera didn't quite get it right was that firstly, Takano was not as hardworking as he appeared to be. So, at 3 am, he was definitely not working on the manuscripts. Secondly, Takano-san was drunk. It was rare because he had a really good tolerance for alcohol since he had been drinking himself to sleep almost every night after Onodera left him. So, why was he drunk?

**ONODERA WILL BRING YOU TO FIND OUT WHY WAS TAKANO DRUNK IN THE NEXT CHAPTER**

A/N: I'm so excited. Can't wait for the reviews.
