No WiFi for how many days was hell! Heck no! Guess what, I already saw the new artwork of Junjou Romantica 3. It looked like the artwork of Hybrid Child, but who the heck cares? xD

For the past few chapters, I noticed that Nika got herself a boy -smirks- and some things are getting emotional that also made me burst into tears.

So without further ado, Chapter seven of MOL.

-/-/-

The brothers noticed something odd about their young brother for the past two weeks. At first they just shrug it off for they thought that it will past. But it turns out, it didn't. They noticed that their brother is a bit...jumpy? He may keep his calm and normal self; it turns out that there was something that also adds his demeanor to another level. They once caught him; eyes open and was looking up at the ceiling. They were dumbfounded that their 'Lil bro is opening his eyes (when he's with his brothers or with Masamune) and he did it without any shame. He was starting to hum happy songs, starting to smile even more, and sometimes, muttering 'Takano-san' in his sleep or asking how the raven haired man is doing. The two brothers were astounded that both Nika and Sumika's plan worked. The two of them are now cool and they get googly eyes at each other.

Sadly the three brothers have work today and it was hell. Chiaki was busy at his work for he was in a tight schedule and a near deadline, Shouta has a shooting today and their due is a month, and Ritsu was also busy for the upcoming songs for a year. Ritsu was told that a rival/enemy recording company is challenging them to a battle. Sumika found a bash letter from that company; saying that their work is a bunch of crap and they are all planning to put them down.

The company posted/bashed about Emerald Recording Company. It pissed every staff and singer (except Ritsu) and it made them want to shove the company's asses to the ground. Since Ritsu is their best singer of the company, he had to also work hard and help Masamune with the song writing. The challenger is still unknown to them, but Misaki and Nika are working hard to research their rival. The other singers of the company are also one of their friends; who are also working hard to outrun their rival. But it is still unknown when it shall all start.

Ritsu was at the music room playing the piano as he hummed and sang some lyrics. He was even pumped singing even more and playing instruments. But of course, he couldn't even forget what Masamune did two weeks ago. The raven haired man confessed his love once more to the present Onodera Ritsu. He was so overwhelmed with the emotion that he already left in the past. But it seems that the confession of love already made a mark in both his mind and heart. He continued to play the piano once more.

"I'll make you fall in love with me again."

Ritsu then hit the wrong key after he remembered what Masamune just said. He tried to focus on the piano's tune once more, but he just ended up pressing the wrong keys again. He rubbed his head and sighed in frustration as he slumped in his wheel chair.

'I can't forget what he just said to me. I never hated him or so, but my feelings are still mushed up. He knows how to start things up. But me...I don't know how.'

"How do I begin this melody?" He asked himself. "Do I sing it by the rules?"

Just then, his phone began to ring in his pocket. He grabbed his flip phone and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Ritsu."

"Takano-san? Why are you calling me? Not that I hate it. Besides, we see each other all the time."

"I just wanna call you and check you out. I'm still busy and all but it shall never stop me from calling you."

Ritsu blushed, "Um, are you sure that I'm not bothering you?"

"You're not a burden, Ritsu. Don't worry, I'm working hard. I just need some inspiration, which is you."

Ritsu chuckled, "You're too cheesy for your own good, goof."

"But one day, I'll be your goof."

"...we should hang up now. We still have work to do and Hana-san shall expect that piece by two weeks top."

"-sigh- Alright. Our work is disturbing our time together. Darn it all."

"Work hard, idiot. No slacking off."

"Hai, Hai. I'll see you later."

The call ended as Ritsu kept his phone in his pocket.

But then, he heard the creak of the door being opened. He quickly covered his face with the hood in his jacket.

"So you're Onodera Ritsu?" a man asked.

"Yes. I am that man. Who are you?" Ritsu also asked without turning his wheel chair.

-/-/-

Masamune heard the bang of the door outside his work area. He sighed in frustration as he stood up and walk into the door.

"I'll be there! Sheesh, be patient!" he exclaimed.

When he opened the door, he bore a shocked expression. Because standing there is none other that his college friend, Yokozawa Takafumi with a pissed off look. Masamune cleared his throat and looked directly at Yokozawa.

"So, what brings the director of Sapphire Publishing in my work station or in my own house?" Masamune said with sarcasm in his tone.

"Oh nothing. I was wondering if you already found your love interest?" Yokozawa asked.

Masamune was a bit dumbfounded, "Hah? What the heck are you saying? Is this some kind of a joke? Well, I'm not buying it."

"Oh come on. The great Takano Masamune doesn't have a love interest; is the world ending?" Yokozawa said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Shut up."

He chuckled as he soon took his leave, but...

"I know who Onodera Ritsu really is. I know him more than you know him."

-Crack-

A sound of a broken glass was the thing he only heard after Yokozawa left.

'Crap, crap, crap, crap!'

After that, Masamune fixed himself and dashed out to catch up with Yokozawa. He ran even faster when he saw Yokozawa turning right and heading towards the company.

"Please he's not there when Yokozawa gets there." he silently prayed as he ran even he saw the building of the recording studio, it even rose his panic even more.

When Yokozawa was about to close the elevator door, Masamune put a hand and was able to get in. Masamune was panting after that but he quickly composed himself and sighed.

"What are you doing here?" Yokozawa asked.

"Um...I forgot something." Masamune simply answered.

Yokozawa just shrugged as pressed the button and the elevator door closed. But his eyes were at Masamune who was at a trance. He narrowed his eyes as he noticed Masamune's discomfort. The elevator door opened as the two got out.

Yokozawa then went towards Misaki, who was typing something on his laptop while drinking coffee, and asked him.

"Um excuse me, may I know if Onodera Ritsu is here?"

Misaki stopped his typing as he faced Yokozawa, "What's your business in knowing about him, sir? And another thing, who are you?"

"Oh, where are my manners? I'm Yokozawa Takafumi. I'm the director of Sapphire Publishing." he said showing his card, "And I was wondering if I could do a story about Onodera Ritsu? He's been everyone's favorite topic of the world. I did every research and it said that many people want to know his story."

Misaki was not comfortable hearing this. They knew that this should all be kept a secret and not be told by any human ears.

He cleared his throat, "I'm sorry Yokozawa-san. But Onodera-san is not available. He already went home an hour ago, and we are also not allowed to say such information about him without his consent."

"But..."

"Rules are rules, Yokozawa-san. I'm Onodera-san's agent and I have every right to say these for his sake. I'm sorry, but you must now take your leave."

Yokozawa simply nodded and was about to take his leave, when he grabbed Masamune's arm. He went towards his ear and whispered,

"Be careful with who you all trust, because they might stab you at the back."

It was a warning and Masamune didn't like the sound of that.

Yokozawa now took his leave leaving Misaki and Masamune alone. The two of them sighed in relief and wiped their sweat off their face.

Masamune noticed that Misaki isn't feeling well. He's a bit disturbed and at the same time, scared. Misaki then cleared his throat.

"What... was...that? Explain?" Misaki demanded for answers.

Masamune sighed, "You just met my college buddy, Takahashi. And h-he's out for answers."

Misaki face palmed, "Can you call Ritsu-san? I didn't check his phone for his number."

He touched his pocket which it was empty. He checked every pocket of his jacket and pants...and they were all empty.

"Holy Crap! Yokozawa took my phone!"

Misaki pushed Masamune, "Then there is not time to waste! Go get him and get your phone before it's too late! Run!"

Masamune sprinted towards the elevator and pressed the button. When it opened he immediately entered and pressed the ground floor.

In the Penthouse of the Onodera Siblings, at their outside scenery filled with cherry blossoms, there under the tree was the chestnut brunette. The winds were gentle and soft and the petals were all swaying or falling right at the brunette. Ritsu then fluttered his eyes slowly, revealing his dull green orbs.

'Darkness...is it all that I will ever see?'

He then raise his hand as he imagined the scene of the Sakura trees and it's swaying petals from the wind. He imagined the petals going at every direction and landing on the ground or on his own palms.

"That won't stop me. Thanks to music, my world is still bright and colored. But Takano-san made it even more beautiful that what it was before. Oh yeah, what was his eye color? What's the color of his hair? Black as night? Fierce amber eyes?" A vague and blurry image, but he was able to clear it out for he felt it.

He then remembered something. A memory of a distant past that he thought he already throw away. Because of grief, pain, sadness, and the pain of heartbreak. He once was scared of the dark. But now, he is now scared to see again. He's scared of reality's own image. That fear started after he completely lost his sight forever.

"I'm so sorry, Shouta, Chiaki. But your brother can't see anymore again." their doctor/ aunt said as she hung her head down.

"B-but...can you do something about it?" Chiaki asked as he also clutched his shirt.

"There is, we find a donor for his eyes. But sadly, it is now hard to find a healthy cornea donor in Japan. But you can go to America to be able to find a suitable donor, I know a doctor there and he is also Japanese. You know that it damaged his corneas at the accident. But the first time I asked, your father declined. Also, his eyesight was still blurry and vague. But after that, from what I heard from Ritsu-kun, all he can see is total darkness. Since you two are now at legal age, it's all up to you."

The two older brothers looked at each other. But before they could speak, Ritsu answers the doctor.

"I don't want it."

"Eh! Why Ri-chan?!" Shouta asked as he was also baffled by his answer.

"I'll tell you later. Thank you for the offer aunt Tsuki, but I simply will decline the offer." Ritsu said.

"But you know that you'll be able to see again, Ritsu-kun." Tsuki said, which she is also worried and shocked for the young brunette.

"C-can you just give me time to think about it? I'm sorry but seeing again is too much for me."

Tsuki sighed as she scribbled something in her paper. She gave it to the older brother and said,

"Here's my number. If you decide to continue this, call me. Ritsu-kun, you are too young for this, a child age of fifteen. By that age, you still sought for more. But you seem hopeless. Tell me what's going on so we may try to fix it."

"..." Ritsu paused. But then he sighed and told his story. He told them the time when he escaped from their father's clutches and went to find his beloved. But sadly, it was all a failure when he can't find his love.

"I was strucked after that. I fear that if I will see again, I may be hit by the harshness of reality. The first time was...mother's death; the second is father; then...Saga-kun leaving me alone. Being blind and crippled didn't hurt me. What hurts me most is being left alone. Being neglected and forgotten...to be shunned by your own family member... and to cause trouble. I don't know what my happen if I may see all of it with my own sight. I gave up the last ounce of my sight for him...and the strength of my legs..."

"I'm...so sorry if we couldn't do anything, Rittie." Chiaki weeped after what he just heard.

"It's all our fault." Shouta continued. His bangs shadowed his eyes.

"It's all my fault. I did this and I chose this path. You know, I could just stay in England with our other relatives."

Tsuki was calm and composed by the outside. But on the inside, she was crying and weeping. "Do you still love him?"

"My heart still yearns and beats for him."

"But...what will happen if he will return?" Shouta asked.

"And want to return the love you wanted?" Chiaki also asked.

"...Let's just wait and see...I guess."

...

Ritsu then noticed the liquid in his face. As he touched it, he noticed that they were tears coming from his eyes. He then released a choking sob as he covered his eyes. He kept on sobbing without a care in the world. The breeze was weak and a bit strong as the petals all fell at the chestnut brunette like they were giving comfort.

"I hate seeing the world again...I hate seeing the crying faces of my love ones...I hate myself for being weak...I hate Saga-kun...I hate Takano Masamune...but why does my heart keep beating for him?"

He then looked up the blue, scattered cloud, sky with his dull green eyes. "Why? Help me, mother...help me from this."

He then felt that someone is near him. He covered his head with a hood as his eyes were shadowed by his bangs or by the hood.

"Who's there?" he shouted as he kept his phone hidden by his hand. He is also ready to press the button just in case.

"Ritsu?"

His eyes widen by the familiar voice. He removed his hood as he let his hand roam freely. He then felt the same warmth and the shape of his face, and texture of his skin and hair.

"Takafumi?"

-/-/-/-

A/N: should I end it? Nah, I'm just kidding xD!

3...2...1...ACTION!

-/-/-/-/-

Ritsu was beyond shocked after realizing the one that helped them. He launched himself towards him as he hugged him. Tears were falling from his eyes since he cried a few minutes ago.

"Um, can you let go?"

Ritsu then rubbed his head sheepishly, "Sorry."

Takafumi then cleared his throat and composed himself. "About you and Takano? Explain?"

"Um, he...confessed his love again towards me. At first, he shouted/got angry at me...but he was able to reconcile and may try to make me fall in love with him. He's working with me and well..."

"Does he know the reason for all of this?"

"No...not yet. I'll wait for the right time, I guess."

Takafumi sighed and rubbed his temple, "Sheesh. That damn man is stubborn."

Ritsu chuckled, "He's as stubborn as you."

"Anyway, I traveled the whole world and did my research. All of the world wants to know about you. 90% of the population wants to know more and they are very loyal fans to you, while 10% were a bit harsh and they don't like you being this secret and mysterious. So that's why I want to write a book about you and your life."

Ritsu played with the necklace in his neck and said, "I don't know. You know that I don't want them to know that I'm a blind singer. But..."

"But?"

"But...prepare something for that book of yours. Spend a few months observing me, my surroundings, my friends, my enemies, my love, my family...and then when I made my decision by then, that's where you'll know if I'll give you my story or not."

Takafumi felt a bit of hope after that, "Because, maybe it's time for them to know your story. You've been hiding all of it for the past years. Many may want to read and know it. Maybe many will sympathize, empathize, etc. Me and Usami-sensei will colab with that story of yours."

"Send my regards to him. Tell him to wait for the next year for my decision."

"Sure." he then put something on Ritsu's lap. "It's Takano's phone. I took it from his pocket since he may call you and the surprise might be spoiled."

"You sly man." Ritsu chuckled.

"YOKOZAWA!"

"Speak of the devil." Takafumi said as Ritsu held his mouth to stifle a laugh.

Masamune ran towards him. He was panting and sweating hard and he bore a pissed expression.

"Where is my f-cking phone, Yokozawa!?" Masamune asked.

He pointed towards Ritsu.

"Takano-San." he waved his hand as he opened his eyes.

"Ritsu? Yokozawa? Can someone tell me what's going on? I'm confused."

(One Long Explanation Later...xD)

"Planning to write a biography? Good luck with that." Masamune said.

Takafumi sighed, "He still has a few months to decide. But we'll prepare."

"Also, he's your friend too?!"

Both Ritsu and Takafumi nodded.

"I didn't tell you when we were in college since I didn't know that you were his first love. When I heard and finally that your love is him, I took everything I just said."

Masamune snorted, "Yeah. Let me name a few-"

"Don't even think about it. Besides, he planned all of it." he pointed towards Ritsu.

"So you may lower your guard if you blabber my name towards him. Since by that time and today, I'm still not comfortable seeing you." Ritsu said.

Since Ritsu is blind, Yokozawa sent a message by gesture. 'Be thankful he forgave you or I would have killed you.'

"Yeah...I'm so sorry, Ritsu."

Ritsu chuckled, "Don't worry. I never bore a grudge against you."

But in the heads of Masamune and Takafumi: 'I wish you did. I'm an ungrateful bastard/he's an ungrateful bastard.'

But then they noticed that his hands clenched into a tight fist. They were worried about the sudden silence. Only the winds and the rufflig of the trees were heard. They were about to ask but Ritsu decided to talk.

"Someone talked to me at the music room. I don't know who he is but he knew who I am. "

They both said, "Did he knew you are blind?"

Ritsu shook his head. "I covered my eyes with my bangs and the hood."

"Do you know his name?" They both ask him in unison.

Ritsu nodded.

"Who is he?" Masamune asked.

There was a pregnant pause. But Ritsu sighed and said the name that cause Masamune to widen his eyes and clutched his phone angrily.

"Haitani...Shin..."
