hey everyone, this chapter just has a bunch of random fluffiness, but as always, enjoy~
"I'll try my very best today. I'll try to work very hard to get my work done, I can't expect Takano to always do It for me. I also have to try my best, to not let Takano that close like he was yesterday." Thought Ritsu, standing in front of his front door bag in hand. After that thought, he had a trance of what happened the day before.
Flashback..
Ritsu was still continuously laying in bed. Takano was still taking care of him, being because he got sick in the rain 3 days before. Takano was sitting next to Ritsu, laying his big hand on Ritsu's warm forehead.
"Takano san, you can stop taking care of me. I'm fine. I'll should be better in a day or two." Spoke Ritsu, his cheeks a little flushed. "I don't mind taking care of you. Plus, I have the time. And in any case, you have no medicine here. It would take forever for you to get better. You know I can't constantly do your work everyday." Replied Takano, moving his hand away from Ritsu's forehead. After this movement, He leaned his face closer to Ritsu's. Ritsu's eyes widened as of how close Takano was. They were just inches away when Ritsu can feel Takano's warm, sweet breath on his lips. "Besides.." Takano replied again. "..You look so cute with your face flushed red. Something tells me that your blushing cause of me and not because of your sickness." Takano then planted a quick small kiss a pone Ritsu's lips. Ritsu quickly flinched and turned away.
"D-don't do that! You'll get sick, and I don't like you, so s-stop!" Ritsu studdered and protested, His heart pounding fast from Takano's action.
"You know you can learn to love me again.. I'll teach you.." Takano smirked, as he walked out of the room.
FlashBack End...
Ritsu then felt a ache of pain in his heart, Making him flinch and place his hand on his heart. "I won't fall in love with him so easily this time. I don't need to get hurt again." Sighed Ritsu, while he was opening his front door. He immediately freaked out, as a certain someone was standing on the other side of this door.
"ack! T-takano san!" Yelled Ritsu. "Come on Onodera, we're going to be late for work. " Smiled and smirked Takano who grabbed onto the arm of a protesting Ritsu. And so, They headed off to work.
Once Ritsu and Takano walked into the office, everyone was already half dead. Kisa was laying his head down, and Hatori was on the phone with.. im guessing Chiaki.
"Everyone, This Is the new editor, Ritsu Onodera." Takano, the boss, Introduced as everyone in the office greeted him.
"Hi Rittie-kun, Im Kisa." Greeted Kisa, smiling. "I'm Hatori" Starred Hatori, as he just got off the phone with Chiaki. "H-hello. It will be nice working with you guys!" Ritsu smiled kindly the best he could. He wasn't very fond of meeting new people. He was always very shy, including when him and Takano would... "How did Takano just get in my head?" Questioned Ritsu as he sat down in his desk, starring at Takano. Suddenly, Takano looked from his papers to Ritsu, and smiled. This made Ritsu blush and look away quickly. "Just having Takano stare at me, is driving me nuts!"
Ritsu wanted all of this to stop. He didn't want to fall into his trap anymore. But for the time being, He began to push away this thought about Takano and such, then started working.
"Onodera!" Yelled Takano.
"H-hai?!" Answered Ritsu quickly. "Give mrs. Moutou a call. Tell her to cut out some of these panels." Replied Takano in a loud enough tone.
"Yes sir!" Ritsu quickly grabbed the phone and dialed a number.
"Moshi Moshi?" Mrs. Moutou answered on the other line. "Oh moshi moshi. This is Onodera, Ritsu your editor. I'm calling about the Love Star manga panels." Replied Ritsu.
"Oh yes. If Theres something wrong about the scripts, please tell me."
"Yes. There are too many joke panels in the emotional love scene. Do you think you can cut them back?" Asked Ritsu.
"Hai. I'll get right on that. Arigato Ritsu Kun!" Thanked mrs. Moutou. Then both lines of the phone were hung up.
About an hour later...
Ritsu was working when he felt a large hand on his shoulder. "Onodera, Can you run these papers to the printer right away?" Asked Takano, holding a hand on Ritsu's shoulder. His breath on Ritsu's Ear, made him flinch. Ritsu then pushed Takano away, his cheeks a slight blush. "S-sure." Ritsu studdered as he grabbed papers from Takano, and walked out of the office. Takano starred at him, a smile appearing on his face.
Ritsu finally made it to the printers. He started copying the papers when he suddenly heard Takano talking to a girl. They were in the other room, a door or so away from where the printer, ritsu was at. He listened onto the conversation.
"Umm.. Takano, will you be able to go with me this saterday?" asked the unknown girl.
"Sure. We'll definitely go." answered Takano.
"Takano, going on a date, with a girl from work? but.. Oh what am I thinking?! It's not like I love him that way anyway. It's probably nothing." Ritsu ignored that conversation as he finished copying the papers, and headed back up stairs to finish the last of his work. He was kind of jealous back then to, even if he didn't realize it.
"Hey Rittie kun, why the long face?" Asked Kisa once Ritsu walked through he door. "Oh it's nothing!" answered Ritsu, faking a smile. "If I keep thinking about this, Takano will probably find out. He's as sharp as a knife, when it comes to my emotions.. or anything." thought Risu, sitting down at his desk.
After another 6 full hours of work, He was done. Ritsu was half dead like Kisa and Hatori were this morning. Ritsu, laying on his desk for a bit, Looked at his calendar. It was a Saterday the next day. Most of everyone in the office had a day off every Saterday.
"Finally." Thought Ritsu. But then, the conversation of Takano and a unknown girl from work came up in his mind. "Why do I care so much?" Sighed Ritsu as he grabbed his bags and other materials, to head home for the week. Ritsu was soon down in the lobby when Takano called his name.
"Onodera!" Said Takano, walking towards him with Yokazawa following behind.
"Good evening, Onodera. Glad to see your not causing trouble for your boss here." Replied Yokazawa, who was smiling at Takano, but just starring blankly at Ritsu.
"oh ah, yes." Ritsu said.
"Well, see you Monday" Takano and Yokazawa said their goodbyes and That's when Takano and Ritsu were leaving the lobby. They began walking home to their apartments. The subway wasn't working because of an construction error, making them having to walk home.
The whole walk home, Takano just starred down at Ritsu. There was extreme silence, and neither one said a single word. Takano, for some unknown reason. But Ritsu, he kept thinking about why does he care so much about what's Takano doing the next day with that girl.
"Onodera?" Whispered Takano, leaning down a bit for Ritsu to hear.
"Hm?" Answered Ritsu, who didn't look up at Takano. Takano then grabbed Ritsu's arm which made him stop in his tracks. "Wh-!" Ritsu was about to scream and yell at Takano for pulling him back. But Takano just kissed him instead of that happening. Takano quickly tried to slip his tongue inside, which worked. Ritsu continued on protesting. He couldn't be seen doing these things, with a guy in public! Takano then gratefully let Ritsu push himself away.
"What the hell Takano san! Why the hell would you do that?" Yelled Ritsu, his cheeks so red, they looked like bright red roses.
"Well, it was quiet and you had on a worried look, so I tried to make you feel better!" Smiled Takano, but then he turned serious. "Whats wrong with you?" He then asked.
"N-nothing. Nothings wrong, Just leave me alone, we're here." Avoided Ritsu, as they began walking from the streets to their apartment.
"Well.. Oyasumi Takano san." Ritsu said night, and closed his front door, watching the image of Takano disappear. Takano just smiled at Ristu, before he closed his door. "Enough stalking for today." smirked Takano, walking into his own apartment next door. They both went to bed at different times. Ritsu, a worried mixed up feeling on his face. Takano, had on a normal face.
The next morning, Ritsu woke up. "Let's see. I just moved in, but when did I go grocery shopping?" Thought Ritsu, Thinking of shopping for his day off.
At 5:00 p.m, In the shopping center..
"Let's see. I think I got enough food for while." smiled Ritsu.
"Oh I can't wait Takano san!" Yelled out a excited girl. Ritsu immediately searched for Takano. Success. He found him. "where are they going? theres no dating spot or movie theater here." Ritsu thought, before following them like a stalker. They were walking past the markets and shops. They then turned right into a alley like-type place. Once Ritsu turned that same corner, his eyes opened wide. They were heading for the Hotel district... mainly, lover hotels.
