New chapter! :D I feel like the story is going a little bit too slow so I will try to speed things up!

There is an OC in this chapter.

Also, half a lemon... Sorta... Because I don't want to get banned... orzz


It wasn't too long until Onodera woke up. Takano was walking to his car with the younger man in his arms, princess style, not even caring who was staring – he just needed to get Onodera to the hospital. He walked maniacally fast when Onodera's eyes opened up.

"T-Takano-san?!" he yelled out as he saw what position he was in, "Oi, Takano-san! I-I'm fine. Put me down please"

Takano looked at his lover, shocked at first and then put him down onto his feet while still holding onto his shoulders.

"We should go to the hospital." Takano suggested.

Onodera felt dizzy as he just woke up.

"No… I'm fine… Just a little bit tired! I-I pass out all the time when it's the end of the cycle" he had a point but Takano was still concerned, "But-" he started.

"I want to go home" Onodera interrupted. He was acting strange - well he was always rather strange but it was… different. Takano noticed but decided not to interrogate him for now.

As Onodera buckled his seatbelt onto the receiver he suddenly was reminded of why he had passed out just now. The man Takano was talking to… was… his attacker that night, wasn't it? He couldn't exactly remember very clearly what his attacker's face looked like because of the lack of light at the time of his rape so he was hesitant. But how could Takano be friends with a person like that?

"Ah… Takano-sa-" Onodera was about to bring the man up but was interrupted.

"That reminds me" Takano started but then realized Onodera was talking, "Oh, what is it?"

"Eh? Ah… N-no, you go first" Onodera awkwardly looked down.

"What is it? Spit it out" Takano demanded.

"No, no it's fine"

Takano looked at the stubborn young man and sighed loudly.

"It's bugging me. It's bugging me. It's bugging me. It's bugging me. It's bugging meeeeeeee" he whined like a child. (yes I totally stole that from the manga)

"Geez, shut up!" Onodera finally snapped, "I was just wondering who that man was you were talking to earlier… Before I sort of… um…"

"Rudely interrupted our conversation and passed out?" Takano said in a joking manner, "You don't recognise him?"

"… Eh?"

Onodera suddenly sat up, eyes wide as he looked at Takano shocked. What did he mean 'recognise him'? Wait, no, Takano didn't know about the rape though?

"What do you mean?" Onodera started to panic internally.

"Miura Kouichi…" Takano said, "He went to the same high school as us and went to college with me and Yokozawa – well that part you wouldn't know because…"

It suddenly became silent and even more awkward than it was already.

"Ahh, is that so?" Onodera laughed nervously, "High school was so long ago and I sorta blurred most of my memory of it out…"

Oh no, it became even more awkward.

"Well anyway! Miura's starting his editing career with Marukawa Shoten, in the literature department" Takano explained.

"Oh…"

Onodera didn't really know what to think of this situation, a man who could have possibly been his attacker is a new editor that they will be seeing regularly, huh? He could have been his attacker but Onodera couldn't remember clearly… But what if he wasn't? Then Onodera didn't have to worry at all… But what if he was?!

The young man's head was spinning as he started to think too much. He noticed the car had stopped and they were finally home.

"You okay?" Takano peered over, looking intently at Onodera.

"I'm fine"

As they reached their floor and both started walking towards their own apartments Onodera bowed his head slightly, "Oyasuminasai (very polite good night~)" he said. His arm was then suddenly grabbed and Takano pulled him into his apartment.

"EH? Takano-san!" Onodera protested, "Wait—what are you-"

Takano pushed Onodera against the wall as the door shut behind them and placed a deep kiss onto his lips, then slid his tongue in exploring the inside of his mouth.

'Ahhhhhhh what the hell is this?!'

Onodera's eyes shut his eyes tight as the kiss became more intense and arousing. Finally, Takano let go. He started to kiss his neck and gradually starting sucking and kissing his lover lower and lower.

"Nnn… Takano sa-ahh- W-what are you doing?!" Onodera pushed him off.

"What do you mean…" Takano said bluntly, "I'm trying to make love to you"

Onodera's whole face lit up red in embarrassment, "I-I'm really tired, yknow…" This never stopped Takano before and he went straight back to what he was doing before. He started to unbuckle Onodera's belt.

"Ah…Nnn… Takano-san…why now?!" Onodera managed to ask.

"We're lovers aren't we? Isn't this natural?" Takano said as he paused what he was doing, "We haven't done it in ages as well… Heh" He unbuttoned Onodera's pants and started to stroke his member up and down.

"Ahhhh nnng" Onodera cried out. He was right, it had been a while but he wasn't ready for this! After what he just went through, he didn't want this… Not yet…

Onodera moaned as he slid down to the ground with Takano. Takano's mouth went lower and soon was sucking him off.

"W-wait!" Onodera protested. It felt so good that he started to feel dizzy, or maybe it was just from him being so tired… or maybe both, "N-not here…"

"That's your only complaint?" Takano smirked.

"No I mean-"

Takano picked the younger man up and they moved to his bed.

[Ending lemon here because I'm not sure if it's actually allowed on fanfiction. I'm such a noob writer here.. D": Gomen-ne~]


Onodera quickly wriggled out of Takano's arms as he searched the dark room for his clothes with his eyes.

'Ah-hah! There they are… wait how did they end up so far away…'

He made his way out of bed but was stopped by Takano who pushed him back down towards him.

"Where are you going?" he sleepily asked.

"What do you think?" Onodera said angrily, "Let go please" He attempted to get back up again.

"Stay. Stay until morning." Takano ordered him.

'What arrogance!' Onodera thought.

Takano pushed him down again and moved his body on top of his, "Wow, I just want to do you again" he said slyly.

"E-EXCUSE ME?!"

"You were kind of cute when you were jealous," Takano smirked, "Asking who Miura was…"

"I wasn't jealous! I just thought that he was-" Onodera stopped himself.

But it was true, he didn't ask because he was jealous, he asked because he was concerned.

"Hmm?" Takano was curious to know what Onodera was about to say.

"N-never mind" he pulled the blanket over his body and closed his eyes. Takano moved closer and hugged him tight.


The next day, Onodera tapped away at his keyboard at work. The office looked like a dumpster. Papers were everywhere, editors lying lifeless on the floor and a black aura surrounded the Emerald office. Onodera groaned as he got up and headed to the vending machine for an iced coffee.

"Ah, Onodera-kun" someone had called him. Like a zombie, he turned around, "Yes?" he said robotically but then suddenly snapped back into reality when he saw Miura Kouichi standing there in front of him.

'What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?!' he panicked.

He decided to play it cool (or as cool as he could get) and pretend he had nothing to do with the attack that night.

"Oh, you're Takano-san's friend, aren't you? I heard you worked in Literature here… Hajimemashite (it's nice to meet you, said only when it's the first time meeting someone)" Onodera bowed.

"Hmmm? What's with that?" Miura laughed, "We've met before. You don't remember me?"

Onodera's heart started to beat furiously.

Ah no, he was probably talking about when they were in high school.

"U-Um…" Onodera hesitated, "Did we go to the same high school… maybe?" he pretended he remembered.

Miura moved his hand towards Onodera's neck and lightly stroked over the bruises that were left. He felt prickles up and down his spine.

"I guess that's right" Miura said, "We did go to the same high school…"

Then, he chuckled, "Heh heh heh"

Onodera suddenly backed away, "A-ah... hah…" He looked panicked.

'No way… NO…' he couldn't accept it.

"Looks like you remember now. Do you have time? I'd loved to have a nice chat with you," Miura suggested,

...

"Ritsu…"
