Hi! This is my first Sekaiichi Hatsukoi fanfic so be gentle with me!
I do not own any of these beautiful characters (though golly I wish I did)
Please leave a comment if you want me to continue with this!
Takano sighed as he watched Onodera put his head against his desk for the upteenth time that day. It had been a long cycle, but it was over now, with him and Onodera doing some much needed "recuperating" a week prior. Not that his "lover" would admit to it if you asked him. He glanced over at Onodera again, watching his head slowly rise as he continued to type on his computer, trying to stay focused on the task at hand. In truth, Takano desperately wanted to get closer to him to make sure he wasn't coming down with something. However, the cycle was already nearing its peak again and he would be lucky if he even got to move from his desk till 11PM at the earliest. Sighing again, he looked back to his half finished manuscript If only these authors would turn in their work on time for once! Yet, Takano knew better then to squabble over late manuscripts. He was lucky if they got it in two days past the preset deadline, which they made early so their negotiations with the printers wouldn't be as hectic, though that didn't help much considering the printers seemed to be in a perpetual state of anger.
He stole himself another peak at Onodera, noticing now the dark circles under his eyes. Takano made a note to not let Onodera walk home alone. Then again, maybe his soon-to-be-lover would start being mindful of his health and go home early. God he hoped so.
Ugh, somehow my head found it's way back down to the cool surface of my desk. It's smooth texture seeming to numb the senses in my brain hammering against my temples. I felt bad, but it wasn't the worst I'd been through. Just a little headache, and I even checked my temperature earlier. It was surprisingly just a few tenths of a degree higher at 87 F (31 degrees celsius). I was fine, maybe it was the lack of sleep. Yesterday, however, I did get over 4 hours. Meaning I should be way more energized then I usually am. Why does it have to be today? Just as I was about to put my head down for the 18th time that day, I hear the booming voice of the person I really didn't want to deal with right now.
"Onodera! Do you have the project proposal done yet? We have a meeting in an hour so I suggest you start working on it!" Yokozawa barks, causing me to straighten up.
"I'm working on it right now. It should be done in the next 20 minutes in time for the meeting," I state, as loud and steady as I could, but the words sounded more like a low mumble then a real statement. My eyes stay glued to my computer screen, not wanting face Yokozawa at the moment, especially not after his confrontation a while back… I don't even want Takano to like me! Why can't he just leave me alone? But more importantly, why am I so bothered by Yokozawa and Takano hanging out…
As I'm spacing out, I barely hear an agitated voice say "Fine." Honestly I was expecting a lot more backlash considering the fact that my proposal isn't even completed yet. Most likely he was too busy to bother and simply left. My head pounded the moment I started typing again, and I quickly stood up to get my bearings. The dizziness left quickly enough, only leaving a slight fuzziness in my head.. That was weird, it almost felt like I was about to-
"ONODERA!," Takano yells suddenly, breaking the working silence in the office. I immediately jumped, spooked by the loud sound, and quickly turned to look at Takano. His eyes were squinting, in a way that made me feel like I was being looked up and down. I wanted to shout at him "What" but didn't. I had a sneaking suspicion it would make my head start to hurt again.
"Do you have your manuscript edited yet? We seriously need that today," Takano's voice was rough, but his eyes were a contradiction, showing nothing but caring, worry, and what looked almost like concern. It shocked me, and I quickly realized I had to act more natural so I could at least make it through the work day without Takano insisting I go home. I honestly didn't feel that bad.
End of chapter 1!
I'm so excited to continue with this! I love Ritsu centered fics with a caring Takano.
Let me know how you guys want me to continue :)
