Sekaiichi Junjou Confessions
===Chapter 1===
==Nostalgia 1a==
Onodera Ritsu, 27 years old, a Shoujo Manga editor in Marukawa Shoten's Shoujo Manga Editorial Department in Emerald team, is now gathering his things.
"So…I'll go on ahead…" he said, biding his goodbye.
"Yeah! See you tomorrow, Ricchan!" Kisa Shouta, 31 years old, One of Ritsu co-worker in Emerald team, said waving at the brunette. Hatori Yoshiyuki, 29 years old, the Managing Editor in Emerald team, nodded. Mino Kanade, one of Ritsu's co-wrokers, smile as usual. Takano Masamune, 28 years old, the legendary Editor-in-chief of the Emerald team, stole a glance at his leaving –secret- lover, only giving him half of his attention. Onodera turned around and was about to make a sprint towards the elevator, when he felt his phone vibrate, he took it out, looking at the caller ID, before answering.
"Hello? This is Onodera speaking, may I ask to—" Onodera answered, but a stopped mid-way in his question as if the person on the other end had cut in his greeting. Onodera's eyes widened as his shoulders visibly tensed, making the others confused, giving their attention to him.
"Ricchan?" Kisa softly called wondering why his friend had frozen up, concern and curiosity clearly etched in his voice. With the silence, Takano gave his lover his full attention, and set his work asidr. Actually everyone in the department stopped what they were doing and looked at him, intently listening. No one could make out Onodera's expression with his back facing them. Well some were able to, but not fully understand as his eyes were shadowed by his chestnut hair.
"I'll be there…" after what seemed like forever, he finally answered, but his voice had a certain tone. Depression, despite the fact that it was really hushed and whispered to the receiver. And with that he put his phone back in his pocket. Takano not liking the way his lover was acting wanted to call out to him and ask him who was it and what did they say, but shut his mouth when Onodera had already sprinted out of the office. All of them stared.
"What just happened?" Kisa asked no one in particular.
"Saa…" Hatori answered reverting his attention to his work. "Ah! Could it be his girlfriend?" Kisa blurted in a teasing tone. Takano's brow twitched in annoyance.
"But, Kisa-san, that was too serious and tense to be his girlfriend…" Mino said, smiling as usual. Takano then mentally thanked him for his usual come backs. Kisa pouted.
"Geh, you're no fun…" Kisa muttered like a child. Mino smiled. Takano not wanting to slack any further or hear anymore sayings from his co-worker that could and would annoy-make him jealous- him.
"Get back to work!" he scolded. The others then did as told, even the others from the other team departments. After a while everyone left. Takano being the last to leave as his work had piled up from his so-called 'sickness'(A.N:=_=" he was just love sick, and wanted Onodera to be there. Who 'begged' him to go) Takano then went out of Marukawa scowling, not only he left his car in the apartment, he missed the last train, and what made him feel worse was the way Ondoera had acted earlier. It looked like something bad had happened and the he couldn't and can't get it out of his mind. He could take a taxi or just walk his way home, but he was really concerned about the brunette earlier. He sighed, then his eyes landed on a café that he never thought had stood, there by the window, he saw one of his co-workers, Kisa with a light colored and tall brunette, the brunette(Yukina) was smiling with his brows furrowed at Kisa who looked like to be spying on someone, if not, definitely suspicious, plain curious Takano wanted to see what was up, so he entered the café. He was about to call out to his co-worker, when his eyes landed to a table two diagonal tables away from the shorty raven's own. There Onodera was sitting across a girl with waist length raven hair tied into braided twin tail, also her bangs were in a shape like Onodera's back in high school. She had a pinkish yet pale complexion, wearing a white blouse, with a red ribbon bow on its collar, underneath a V-neck beige knitted sweater, a blue-black sailor skirt that ended just above her knees and had a single white line stripe by the edge, a pair of matching thigh length socks, and a pair of b own leather boots. Honestly speaking she looked somewhat familiar, to Takano but he just can't seem to pin it down, and cute. Takano's eyes widened, the two looked happy together. He couldn't tell what her eye color was from afar.
"You're weird!" she exclaimed laughing. Onodera too forced a laugh, the laugh he usually do when annoyed by a comment. Right now in the café there were only two other group of costumers, aside from Kisa and Onodera's group.
"Thank you for that…" Onodera said sarcastically. The girl then stretched out her hand and stroked Onodera's hair. Takano felt a twinge in him.
"Wah! It's so silky and soft!" She exclaimed as Onodera closed his eyes relaxing to her touch, he chuckled.
"She really is his girlfriend!" Kisa whispered to his friend. That saying alone made Takano angry and jealous.
"Kisa-san, I think it's too early to decide that." Kisa's friend whispered. "Besides, I think she's too young!" he continued, Kisa looked at him with a 'Are you serious?' look.
"Yukina, I thought you'd know better…" Kisa muttered, his friend, Yukian seemed confused, Kisa then point at himself. "How old am I?" he asked.
"31…" Yukina answered.
"And how old do I look?"
"Uh…18…"
"See?" with that said, Takano knew what Kisa meant. You can't always judge their age by their looks, the girl could be a lot older than she looks! But what Kisa said made Takano twitch. So he did what he usually would, he stomped towards them going past Kisa. Kisa visibly flinched in his seat when his boss when past him, emitting this dark possessing aura as if something just got stolen from him. 'Why in the hell is Takano-san here?!'
"Onodera!" Takano yelled getting everyone's attention. Onodera jolted in his seat as the girl's head shot up to look at Takano with her eyes wide. Takano then took a good look at her. She really looked familiar. Especially with that uncanny emerald green eyes that is eerily similar to Onodera's. Onodera then turned around to look at Takano twitching in the process, his brow twitched.
"T-Takano-san!" Onodera exclaimed. The other guests, but Kisa and Yukina, then reverted their attention to whatever they were doing while the ashier and waitress went back to their jobs. The two didn't seem to be aware of Kisa and his friend's presence or just merely ignored them. "W-what are you doing here?" Onodera asked annoyance clearly etched in his voice.
"If you have time dilly-dallying finish you work!" Takano scolded, though it was actually a cover up for his jealousy that overcome him.
"I already did!" Onodera fought back.
"Then finish your next task!"
"I know and I will! So get off my back! You're not my mom!" the two glared and growled at each other. Before the girl broke the tense atmosphere.
"Who is he?" she asked, "Someone you know, Papa?"
