Hello readers! The last chapter finally, hooray! This chapter is set five years later. *Sigh* yes I know, I like to time jump a lot in this story. X3
Well, I had a negative reaction to my medication O_O So I have to miss even more school and I just feel like crap ;_; WAHH! I'm a nerd; I actually LIKE school! I hate the doctor and hospital! I'm falling behind in all my classes *Cries and rocks in the corner* Okay, enough self-pitying, I'm being selfish. xD
Aww, my reviewers are so sweet! Thank you for the "Get Well Soons" and laughs of the previous chapter.
Enjoy~!
-Chapter 4-
'They should be here soon,' Onodera thought as he looked at the clock. He made sure everything was in order and the guest bedroom was ready for his niece's yearly visit.
Onodera chuckled when he remembered the promise he made to his sister. When Rika was born, his sister Riko basically cried and whined until he gave into her. Now every year during June, his niece Rika came for a visit for an entire week. Riko came to Japan for two weeks for business and left Rika with Ritsu and Masamune the first week. She then took Rika to the twins' parents' house for the second week.
Both Onodera and Takano were hesitant on the idea at first, but Rika grew on them the very first week she visited when she was three. She was very attached to Onodera (who she called Uncle Richan) and so Onodera always took the week off and did his work at home. Takano concluded it was because Rika was just like her mother, so she was automatically attached to Onodera.
Onodera was shaken from his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door. He trotted to the door and opened it. He immediately was hugged by two figures. Rika hugged his legs and Riko hugged his torso.
"Uncle Richan!"
"Nii-chan!"
"Okay, okay. You can let go now."
Both girls giggled as they let go. Onodera rolled his eyes but smiled as they walked in.
"Uncle Richan! Uncle Richan! Guess how old I am now!" Rika bounced on the balls of her feet, her emerald eyes shining. She hugged her cream-colored stuffed rabbit tight. Onodera had given her "Usagi-chan" when she first visited.
"How old Rika?" Onodera squatted down to her level and smiled.
"I'm six!" Rika clapped her hands and Onodera laughed.
"You're so big! Wait until you're old like me," He chuckled and Rika cocked her head quizzically.
"How old are you Uncle Richan? Ten?"
Both the twins burst into laughter and Onodera ruffled her dark locks, "No Rika. I'm thirty-four."
Rika gasped and squealed, "You're so old! Mama, are you that old?"
"I am Uncle Richan's twin. I'm thirty-four too," Rika pouted and the twins laughed again.
"Don't worry. Uncle Taka is even older," Onodera whispered in her ear like a secret, "He's thirty-six!"
Rika burst into laughter. She buried her face in her rabbit and her shoulders continued to shake from laughter. Her cheeks were flushed bright red after her fit of giggles.
"Okay Rika, now be a good girl or Uncle Richan won't love you anymore," Riko teased as her daughter gasped again.
"Riko! Don't tell a child that," Onodera whispered angrily at her and Riko feigned innocence. Rika looked at him with sad eyes and sniffled, "U-Uncle Richan, is that t-true?"
"No Rika, your mother is just being a bully. I will always love you," Rika's face lit up and she hugged Ritsu.
"Uncle Richan loves me more!" Rika stuck her tongue out at Riko and she pouted.
"I'm his sister! I've been with him since the beginning!" Riko looked proud until Rika said, "But I'm younger so I'll live longer!"
"You little brat!" Riko and Rika glared at each other and Onodera could see the lightning flashing between them.
Onodera sweat dropped as he thought, 'Good thing Masamune isn't here. He'd probably be in this fight too.'
"I love both of you. No need to fight," Onodera chuckled as both gave a short 'humph' and looked away.
"I better get going or the board members will be pissed at me," Riko checked her watch and hugged her daughter.
"Listen to your uncles and be good. I love you," Rika hugged her back and said, "Love you too Mama."
"Go put your stuff in the bedroom," Onodera said and Rika nodded. She skipped to her room with her backpack and rabbit. Onodera walked with his sister to the door and she hugged him again.
"Thank you as usual Nii-chan. Tamo-chan says hi," Riko smiled and Ritsu returned it. Before he closed the door, Riko said, "Wait, Nii-chan!"
"Eh?"
"Well, um….you know what, nevermind. I'll tell you later," Riko waved her hand dismissively and left. He shrugged and closed the door.
"Where's Uncle Taka?" He heard Rika's little voice pipe up.
"He's working. I'll make you lunch," He walked into the kitchen as Rika followed.
.
.
.
"Tadaima!" Takano called as he closed the door behind him.
"Okaeri Uncle Taka!" Rika ran up and hugged his legs. He smiled and ruffled her hair, "Hey Rika. How was your trip?"
"Good! Uncle Richan is making dinner. I'm going to go wash up," Rika skipped to the bathroom and Takano walked to the kitchen. Onodera didn't see him, so Takano stealthily walked behind him and wrapped his arms around his lover's waist.
"Ah!" Onodera jumped ten feet in the air and almost dropped the knife he was holding. Takano chuckled as he pecked him on the cheek.
"Masamune! I could have dropped the knife on your foot or something," Onodera scolded as Takano just continued to hug him.
"Be more careful next time! Are you listening?"
"Yes Mom," Takano smirked as Onodera rolled his eyes and continued cooking, "By the way, love the apron."
"S-Shut up! And let go of me, Rika might see us!" Onodera's cheeks lit up red and Takano kissed his lips this time. Onodera grumbled as Takano set up the table.
.
.
.
"Goodnight Uncle Taka," Rika clambered onto the couch and kissed him on the cheek. He hugged her and ruffled her long black hair. She giggled and jumped off the couch, following Onodera into her bedroom.
She snuggled into her rabbit as Onodera pulled the covers over her. He tucked her in and she said, "Usagi-chan says goodnight."
"Goodnight Usagi-chan," Onodera smiled as he patted the stuffed rabbit's head and kissed Rika's cheek.
"Uncle Richan, do you love Uncle Taka?" Rika asked innocently.
"W-Well y-yes, I suppose," Onodera blushed. Rika giggled and said, "Are you married?"
"Um, well…yeah, we are. You actually were at our wedding, but you were too young to remember it," Onodera showed her the ring on his finger as emphasis. (A/N: Yes, they got married within the five year span XD SURPRISE! I love surprises, don't you?)
"That's not fair," Rika crossed her arms, pouting.
"I have an extra picture of the wedding. Before you leave, just remember to ask for it," Onodera chuckled and Rika smiled.
"Okay! Goodnight Uncle Richan," Rika settled back down into the covers and Onodera stood up.
"Goodnight Rika," Onodera flipped the light switch and closed the door. He walked into the living room and sat on the floor at the coffee table. He pulled out his storyboards and a red pen, ready to edit. Takano sat on the couch, reading a book.
Half an hour passed before Onodera stretched and his joints popped. He groaned and said, "I'm getting old."
He placed the newly edited storyboards next to Takano and said, "You can check them, boss." Takano grunted and shuffled through them.
"You're good at this now. No mistakes and you finished it quickly," Takano lightly hit him on the head with the papers.
"Haha! Now I can finally pull you off that high-horse," Onodera confidently smiled. Takano rolled his eyes and plopped down next to him. He slung his arms around Onodera's shoulders and said, "Good luck with that."
"I can do it! It's my life-long goal!" Onodera smirked a little.
"It was also your goal to not admit your love for me, and look where that got you. You're now my little wife," Takano smirked as Onodera blushed beet red.
"I'm your husband. And don't look down on me!" Onodera growled.
"Oh, so you're actually acknowledging that we're married? That's rare."
"S-Shut up! It's still weird to me to call you my h-husband," Onodera averted his eyes and the blush went to the tip of his ears.
"It's been four years!"
"I know that! It's just still so weird! I just now told Rika because she asked me."
"Rika asked you if we were married? What did you say?"
"Well, I'm not going to lie. I told her the truth!"
"Did she ask you if you loved me?" Takano smirked as he saw Onodera's cheeks go crimson and he stuttered, "I-I don't k-know….m-maybe."
"You're still so cute," Takano chuckled as he kissed his husband's lips. Onodera wrapped his arms around his neck and returned the kiss whole-heartedly.
"Shut up," Onodera pouted when they broke apart.
"Damn, why can't we have sex for an entire week?" Takano pouted this time and Onodera scolded, "Because Rika's here, you pervert! Do you want her to hear us and be traumatized?"
"Well, if my husband wasn't so loud when he moaned, we'd be perfectly fine."
"Ah! Y-You pervert! I've tried to be quieter before but you always encouraged me to be loud! So it's your fault," Onodera tried to push him off, but Takano still clung to him. He smirked and said, "I love our little conversations, don't you honey?"
"D-Don't mock me you jerk. Let's stop talking about this," Onodera went to stand up but Takano pulled him back down to him. He wrapped his arms around Onodera's waist from behind and put his head on his shoulder.
"Let's take a shower together."
"No Masamune," Onodera sighed. His husband asked this question almost every night, so he had grown used to his perverted tactics.
"Other couples probably shower together every night," Takano whined.
"No they don't. Stop being such a baby! Now that we're married, you love to whine and pout don't you?"
"Yes, because my husband is so mean to me."
"Ugh, I don't want to fight. If I shower with you tonight, you have to leave me alone about it all week, understand?"
"Hmm….How about tonight and tomorrow night?"
"….Fine."
"Mmm, my husband is so nice. I love you," Takano kissed him on the lips and smiled.
"I love you too, baka. And stop calling me your husband at every chance you get!"
"Why? I love calling you that because you're mine. Admit it, you like it too."
"….B-Baka," Onodera blushed because he knew Takano was right. He loved it when Takano called him his husband; he felt loved.
"Let's go take a shower husband Ritsu," Takano smirked at the effect he could have on Onodera. He led Onodera to the bathroom and had fun the next two nights.

-Six Days Later (Sunday)-
"I don't want to leave!" Rika sulked as she put on her backpack. Her big sad emerald eyes broke Onodera's heart. He had a major soft spot for his niece.
"Don't worry Rika; I'll see you next year. Maybe if your mom is nice, she'll bring you for Christmas," Onodera helped her pack and Rika's face lit up.
"Hooray, Christmas! But next year, I'll have a brother or sister and I don't know if I'll come," Rika went back to pouting but Onodera was taken aback.
"Brother or sister? What do you mean?"
"Mama is having another baby," Rika hugged Usagi-chan close.
"Riko's pregnant?!" Onodera wailed. Rika nodded her head almost mournfully. They walked out of the room, Onodera grumbling.
"Why are you pouting?" Takano raised his eyebrow.
"Riko's pregnant and she didn't tell me!"
Takano stifled a laugh and mumbled, "She told me."
"WHAT?!"
A knock on the door brought him out of his fit. He opened it to a smiling Riko, but looked at her like a criminal.
"Nii-chan, why so angry?" Riko laughed nervously.
"You're pregnant."
"Oh."
"And you didn't tell me."
"Yeah," Riko sweat dropped and laughed again, "I was going to surprise you…later."
Onodera sighed and mumbled, "You're hopeless."
"Uncle Richan gave me a picture Mama," Rika dug through her bag and pulled out a picture. The photo was of Ritsu and Masamune, holding hands and wearing tuxedos, showing off their rings at their wedding.
"Not fair! I've been asking for this photo forever and you give it to Rika?" Riko wailed.
"See, Uncle Richan loves me more!" Rika stuck her tongue out at Riko. Riko stomped her foot and stuck her tongue out back.
"Riko, are you five?" Ritsu chuckled. Riko pursed her lips and said, "Takano-san, your husband is so mean! How do you deal with him?"
"Easy, I just-," Takano started but Onodera yelled over him, "Okay, well I guess it's time for Rika to leave," He nudged Takano in the ribs with his elbow.
"Bye Uncle Taka! I love you!" Rika hugged him when he bent down to her level. He hugged her back and replied, "I love you too Rika."
"Uncle Richan, come visit us in England! Bring Uncle Taka too," She pulled at his sleeve and he laughed.
"Someday Rika. Bye," they hugged each other and Rika waved sadly.
"I love you Uncle Richan!" Rika called before she left with her mother.
Ritsu was sad when she left. She was so full of energy and always made her visit fun, it was like being a kid with Riko again.
"She's a good kid," Takano said.
"Yeah, she is," Onodera turned towards the kitchen but Takano quickly grabbed him and pinned him to the wall. He devoured his lips in a hungry kiss and Ritsu immediately moaned. He ran his slender fingers through Takano's dark hair and pulled him closer. Takano had his hands on Onodera's waist, squeezing slightly.
They broke apart for air and Takano mused, "My little wife is sad."
"Stop calling me that!" Onodera barked and Takano smirked.
"Are you jealous?"
"J-Jealous? Of what?"
"Because I love somebody else besides you. I think you're jealous of your own niece," Takano teased.
"What?! Baka, what a stupid fantasy! You love her in a different way and I'm your husband," Onodera mumbled the last word with his cheeks painted crimson. Takano couldn't resist taking his lips captive again after he said that. He ran his hands up Ritsu's sides, causing the younger male to shudder under his sensual touch. After being together for so long, how could they still have the same effect on each other? It was like they were still young, utterly and desperately in love with each other, nothing to vex their total bliss.
Takano laced his fingers with his husband's, pulling back to nip at his neck before he noticed something.
"Are your fingernails….painted red?"
"Wha-Oh!" Onodera blushed and quickly pulled his hands away.
"Rika was bored….so I let her paint my nails the other day. Girls like that kind of stuff and I couldn't think of anything else to entertain her with," Onodera was crimson red (like his nails) all the way to the tip of his ears. Takano burst into laughter, burying his face in the crook of Onodera's neck. His shoulders still shaking, Onodera grumbled, "W-What's so funny? I'd like to see you entertain a little girl for an entire week!"
"Nothing," Takano pulled up, still laughing, "It's just….now I know you'll be a great mother to our kids."
"EH?! When are we having k-kids?!"
"Mmm, now," Takano continued to ravish him.
The end! For those who are wondering what Rika looks like, she looks like Riko with green eyes but with black hair. She could be Onodera and Takano's child XD
I decided it was time for our characters to get married! I would DIE if in the manga or something they actually got married! *Squeal* Cute right? Sorry I used the word 'husband' a lot, I just love that word. X3
I feel if they were married, they'd be more relaxed/silly with each other, as in my story. But that's my point of view; don't like it, write your own!
Riko and Rika's relationship is like Kotoko and her daughter from Itazura Na Kiss, except they are fighting for Ritsu's affection and not the dad's. I love that show XD
See you next story! The next one will be more dramatic and sad D: *hint hint*
