Okay um..

...

You..all have every right to hit me right now like seriously guys.

i am sO sorry, yes yes I know I had a sched. set for this fic (in my mind; daily), but nOOO school arrived and turned out to be a torturing piece of ass— literally torture I tell you — but it's still fun in some ways.

Sorry if this has an OOC!Ritsu, but well, you'll find out why.

Disclaimer: All characters go to their rightful owners and creators ^^ the only thing I basically own here is the story :'3

Enjoy!~ i guess-

Takano slid his phone out and checked the time, a crease appearing in between his eyebrows.

Time was running and it wasn't going well for Takano—worse yet, they may or may not hand in the manuscripts of Mutou-sensei's latest manga update to the printers in time.

He stood next to his little subordinate's desk as he patiently watched him do his work. Which was, of course, a few minutes late on the deadline.

If the idiot didn't finish the last page he was currently working on right now in less than 3 minutes, so help him he will stab the guy with his pen. (If that's possible ; if he's willing to do it)

"Hurry up, if you don't finish that in less than 2 minutes I'm giving you more work."

"What the hell would I earn from that?! I'll only get more and more slower you know!"

"I don't care, just hurry up!"

"Ah, finally done!", Onodera fist-pumped in the air as he immediately handed the neatly organized manuscripts to the printing department personnel who witnessed the whole thing. "I-I'm really sorry for the short delay!", the brunet apologized as he bowed to the person in front of him.

"A-ah, don't worry about it, it was just a few minutes anyway. Thank you for your hard work!", he said before swiftly dashing away back to his division.

"I-I'm really sorry, Takano-san!", this time, Onodera bowed in front of Takano, apologizing more sincerely than he had done earlier. "It's alright, just as that guy said, don't worry about it. I'm just glad I don't have to give you extra work. Be grateful."

"Ehh? You're a jerk!"

"Ricchan, in Takano-san's language, that means he was relieved that you actually finished!", Kisa cheerfully chimed in. "Shut up, Kisa! Get back to work!", the boss yelled, throwing a sharp, unknown object at Kisa's direction.

A loud "ow!" was heard.

Onodera blushed at what Kisa had told him, that couldn't be true? But it was possible.

Noticing the blushing, spaced out Onodera—who looked utterly adorable for words—he quickly made his way to him. Once he reached the brunet, he whispered, "Kisa was right, you know~", before making his way outside.

As time went by, Takano and Onodera walked back home, together. Which the latter agreed to because he was grateful to the raven-haired man.

The night was bright—full of chatter, laughter, no work-related talk, just a long walk/ride back home.

Once they had gotten back to their apartments, the younger male agreed, for once, to be abducted into the older male's comfy, welcoming house. Unlike his, dirty—it was filled of clothes and empty energy jelly packets scattered on the floor for goodness' sake—, and had a deeply dark aura to come along with it.

"Ah, Sorata is here?", owner of the said unwelcoming house spoke first, pointing at the black and white fur ball curling up on his foot. It seemed to like him a bit. That was the first animal that had gotten so clingy to him, like, really.

"Yeah, Yokozawa brought him back home as he and his roommates have a problem so he can't take care of him for a while. Don't worry, he looks like he's gotten really fond of you, look.", Takano chuckled as he watched his grown cat curl up into a ball on top of Onodera's right foot.

Onodera chuckled along as well.

The night really was bright, as well as nice if Onodera could say so himself. At least it was just a night full of romantic, fluffy and feather-light kisses planted on his forehead, cheeks, nose, and lips, Takano really could come out gentle from time to time.

As the raven sent his last good night kiss, he quickly fell asleep— guess he was really tired.

'Good night...', thought Ritsu.

Taking a small peek at the other's face, he smiled softly, seeing the gentle look on Takano's sleeping face.

Then he drifted off to sleep as well.

It was all good.

wow ok, I think I made it srsly cheesy, (my best friend bought me some cheese-flavored ice cream from the store earlier. He said he didn't know what flavor I would like so he just picked that. He was lucky I rlly like cheese ice cream. Depending on the brand.)

Tbh I was supposed to post this last night- 10 PM. I just didn't get to because, well, one: I was sO sleepy and two: I accidentally pressed delete because I was reading the story to check for mistakes and I didn't notice I pressed the trash can button instead of the "copy" button. Dammit, I apologize for being so stupidly ignorant sometimes. XD

Anyway, another thing I want to apologize for is the length of this chapter. I am sO sorry this is so short, but, really, I just, I just felt like doing a short extra chapter relating to the last chapter. And this was mainly written because my mind kept telling me to make Ritsu notice his feelings for once. And yeah I think I overdid it with the whole "get ritsu to notice his own feelings" part, considering he barely even got embarrassed by Takano's actions in here.

So yeahh, anyways, to those who will/have press/ed the "fav" and "follow" buttons on this, and to those who will/have review/ed, I love you all. I just hope the next chapter will be uploaded in probably 2 weeks from now or so. (Oh yeah, if there are any grammar/spelling mistakes, please remind me, thank you in advance)
