"How do I get myself into these situations?"
That was the only thought running through the mind of Onodera. The two had shared a very nice evening together and the Ferris Wheel only seemed it was the high light of the night for Onodera. But now he was walking side by side with Takano heading back towards their apartment complex. He could reply everything that had been said on the Ferris Wheel every thought, every look Takano had in his eyes, every slight touch whether it had been his hand lightly brushing against Onoderas or his leg slightly gliding across the side of his.
As they were walking down the less crowded sidewalk, Onodera was replaying everything that the two had said to one another on that ride. It seemed almost like a dream but no matter how hard Onodera pinched his own arms he couldn't bring himself to wake up from the seemingly perfect fantasy. Onodera silently closed his eyes thinking back to that magical moment the two shared inside that Ferris Wheel.
"Are your sure this thing is safe right?" Onodera couldn't help but question the real safety of this thing just looking at the front of the seat it looked like it was something straight out of the Nineteen-seventies. It really looked unstable and almost like the sucker would tip over before Onodera and Takano had the chance to sit down.
"Its fine Onodera. Just climb in."
Oh that was so much easier said then done. Onodera shot this glare towards Takano over his shoulder as he inched closer towards it pressing his left foot against the bottom and watching as it begun to sway back and forth. Oh hell no, that was just his foot! Is Takano out of his mind? There was no way Onodera was going to step foot on this sucker. That was when he felt a hand press against his shoulder and glanced over his shoulder to see Takano with a soft look across his face.
"Do you really think I'd let something happen to you Onodera?"
The look inside Takanos eyes said it all. Onodera knew that he could trust Takano and if he said this thing was safe then - it was safe. Onodera summoned all the courage he had in his body drawling in a deep breath and stepped onto the little floor of the seat that actually meant for two. Onodera easily sat down clenching his eyes closed and holding on the side with his free hand as if his life depended on it. Well - it kind of did but not at this very moment at least.
Takano chuckled as he looked at the reaction on Onoderas face and handed the man a few tickets that would equal the amount of the ride before stepping easily into the right place and sat down across from Ritsu. The man controlling the ride would place the bar over the front of the two locking them into place and then walked over pressing the green button to move the next cart forward so he would be able to fill it full of people.
"Onodera did you have fun?"
The question really caught the chestnut haired man off guard. He stumbled a few steps after being caught off guard but was able to catch his own footing. At least he wouldn't make that kind of mistake in front of Takano for now. He brushed back the strands of his hair trying to play the thing off cooly. Takano could only smirk resisting the urge to chuckle at the expression on Onoderas face.
"A-Actually Takano-san - I did. Its gonna sound completely stupid but." Now that seemed to catch Takanos attention. He turned glancing over towards Onoderas face which had become a light red shade. The two continued to weave in and out of small groups of people avoiding street vendors and the common person asking for change on the street. It was no longer day time when they were finally able to leave the little shopping center instead night had fallen and the streets were lit up with street lamps and people were busy moving about to get out of the cold weather much like Takano and Onodera.
"What I mean is - I used to day-dream about spending time alone like this with you. I used to imagine the two of us going out on dates and doing various things. Kind of stupid isn't it?"
Takano listened closely as the two of them continued to walk heading towards the train station. He knew that what Ritsu had said wasn't stupid and it certainly wasn't ridiculous. Takano turned glancing over his shoulder towards the smaller male and allowed that smile to shine across his face. As the two continued to walk they passed by an alleyway and Takano wasn't able to resist. He reached his hand out snatching Ritsu's wrist and pulled him into the opening. The people passing by didn't seem to notice and Takano preferred it to stay that way.
"T-Takano-san?"
Onodera didn't have time to react as Takano had pressed his figure right up against the wall and mushed his own right against his. Takanos lips reached down claiming Onoderas own in what certainly wasn't some innocent little kiss. After a confession like that there was no way he was going to just let Onodera walk away without getting some sort of response. Onodera was to shocked to really respond. This was just like in the Ferris Wheel.
"The night sky is so breath-taking from this angle isn't it?" Onodera was like a child his hands gripping tightly onto the bar keeping them from falling towards the ground. Those big eyes of his scanning every inch of the city he possibly could from this angle. It was truly a moment he was never going to forget as long as he lived and all Takano could do was watch each reaction that would come across Onoderas face.
"Nothing compares to you Ritsu." That comment alone once again brought a blush to Onoderas face. He really wasn't used to all the compliments he kept giving him. Usually Takano wasn't so personal but they usually were busy spending a great amount of their day inside the office on manuscripts and dealing with manga artists. This was much more personal setting.
"No it doesn't" Ritsu tried to argu but he really should have known better by now. To sort of prove his point Takano reached his closest hand near Onodera out and lightly traced his fingertips along the pretty jaw line of Onoderas face tracing it down towards his chin. The sheer touch of his hand brought back all those old butterflies into his stomach and threatened to make his heart hammer out of his chest.
"Your wrong this time. You really are much more breath-taking than anything I have ever seen before."
Oh my god, Onodera was wondering if Takano was able to feel his heart racing so fast against his chest. He had never been woo'ed to this extreme before. With the back drop of the city and the way Takano was so carelessly touching his face - it was no wonder that he had a hard time keeping his cool. He tried to turn away glancing down towards the ground that was so very far away.
"Your just saying that."
Oh Takano knew how to handle that one. His hand that was so softly touching his ex. Lovers face turned using his index finger and thumb to hook his chin and, using a little force, turned Onoderas head so that his eyes were looking into Takano's own. He really didn't give the younger male much of a choice. As soon as their eyes met Takano made sure that Onodera would completely understand what he was about to tell him.
"I would not lie about something on you. You mean far too much to me, Ritsu."
Oh that did it, Onodera felt his heart literally burst suddenly out of his chest and begin to fling itself around the little box car they were sitting in. Takano noticed the surprised look across his face and took this as his opportunity. He leaned in and captured Onoderas lip in a very light and smooth kiss nothing compared to the dominate ones he usually planted against his former lovers lips.
At first Ritsu seemed surprised but the warmth mixed with the taste of Takano against his lips he seemed to become over whelmed and found himself wrapping his arms around Takanos neck welcoming the advances he was receiving. It was only when Takano made a move to actually shift their bodies in the old rocking car did the two finally come to their senses. Obviously, with the movements it threatened to knock the two of them over board and Takano was not up for risking Onoderas life.
Once the two had parted Takano sighed with frustration and leaned back slightly against the little make-shift chair. His hand moved reaching outwards and grasping onto Onoderas own giving his hand a small gentle squeeze.
"Soon."
It was the last words Takano had spoken to Onodera on the ride. Within a few minutes the ride had came to a complete stop allowing the passengers the chance to remove themselves from the seat. Onodera could barely feel the wind on his face since his cheeks were burning so bad with a blush. He almost completely lost himself there for a few minutes.
"Takano-san - we shouldn't."
Takano wasn't listening, not even the slightest amounts, his lips were too busy gliding across the smooth surface of Onoderas neck. He had held this in for far too long. His hands were busy brushing down against Onoderas soft chest beginning to work the buttons on his clothes. Takano knew he needed to answer Onodera, he wasn't the type to just leave him hanging when he said something.
"I don't think I can wait Onodera."
And to prove his point Takano reached his hand over grasping Onoderas and brought his palm down to cup his ever-growing manhood that was beginning to stiffen at the simple thoughts of getting at Onodera underneath his clothing. He wanted to show Onodera that he could no longer wait. Once the younger man felt Takano warm and hard against his palm a flushed look easily crossed along his face.
"But we-we're in public. We can't"
There was little much Onodera could do. He leaned against the wall releasing a low moan as Takano had pushed up the fabric of his shirt revealing a bit of his smooth chest and stomach allowing his hand to glide across the gentle skin in a smoothing touch. God, he felt just like Takano remembered he did. His lips bit slightly against his neck wishing to leave a mark that showed not only Onodera but everyone that came around the guy that he belonged to someone else.
"We need to g-go back to my place. O-Or yours. P-Please Takano-san."
The last thing Takano and Onodera needed as a "Public indecency" mark on either of their records. Takano growled low in his throat knowing that neither of them where going to get very comfortable at this current place. There was no way Onodera was going to let his guard down so he knew he had to be the one to give in. He would once again give off a low growl before pushing off after summoning all the strength he possibly could.
"Lets go."
Takano fixed Onoderas shirt putting everything back to where it was supposed to be before drawling in a deep breath knowing he needed a minute to calm down before they could walk back out in public. Onodera himself turned around pressing his back against the wall and pressed one hand over his beating heart. He was hoping he'd catch the sucker before it flew all wild like out of his chest.
After what seemed like hours Takano and Onodera were both headed back towards the apartment complex. They were seated on the train side-by-side and once again Takano made no attempt to hide their public display of affection even if it made Onodera squirm in his seat. They were both holding hands as the metal structure continued to zoom on past the stops. Time seemed to fly by way to fast when they were like this.
Finally the car had reached their stop and both doors mechanically opened allowing Takano and Onodera to slip through them and climb the small set of steps leading up to the main street above. Once again not a lot of people were out prowling the streets this late at night but for when Onodera instinctively found himself huddling closer to Takano. He just didn't like being out late at night and somehow, Takano made him feel more at ease. Onodera was certain that this was going to be the perfect ending to their perfect evening. He no longer cared if Mr. Yokozawa found out or if anyone living at their building found out. He wanted just to spend this time with Takano and complete the most wonderful date he had ever been on.
"Come on. The doors still open Onodera."
Takanos hand squeezing his own brought Onodera back out of his own world and sent him crashing back down into reality. They were finally standing at the front of their apartment building and Onodera knew there was going to be no going back after this. He gave a small nod of the head as he responded.
"Y-Yes."
The two went straight up the elevator to their floor and walked towards their doors. Now remained only the big question - which place where they going to go too? Onodera leaned back a bit looking towards his face and biting down nervously on his lip. He knew his place was a mess but the last time he had been inside Takano's apartment it was really rough for him. Takano had Onodera down on the floor and he had ended up rushing out of the apartment in tears only to run straight into Yokozawa. It was the first time he had realized how "personal" their relationship had really been.
"Takanao-san who's place are we going too? Speaking of places what's with that smirk?"
Takano had this smug smile across his lips and Onodera could pin-point that sucker out of no where. Onodera followed along Takano's side as they went straight towards their doors still waiting with anticipation to see which door Takano would lead them too.
"I'm smiling because I can't wait. You have no idea how much I've wanted to do this with you for."
Onoderas heart skipped a beat he could feel it in his chest that was when he noticed Takano had directed the duo towards his place. Now Onoderas pulse was beginning to pick up, could he really go through with this? Could he really spend the night with Takano? With each step that brought them closer towards Takanos door Onodera could feel his heart beating right along with it.
Finally Takano's hand reached out grasping the front door and removed his hand from Ritsus long enough to remove his house key and slip it inside only to find the object - unlocked? Now that was unusual. Takano knew for a fact that he had locked it before he left which only meant one thing.
"Ritsu - stay here."
Hold on, wait a second - Onodera turned his eyes towards Takano's face. He certainly wasn't expecting that. But now he was curious on WHY Takano had told him to stay there. Weren't they going inside? Onodera turned those curious eyes up towards Takano unable to hold himself back from asking. Even if while asking a blush crossed over his face.
"Why? Arent we going inside?" He tried to sound as brave and sure of himself as possible but it really wasn't working out to well.
Takano had slowly pushed the door open listening as it creaked and begun to make his way inside. He had almost completely tuned out Onoderas question. Right now his main focus was on checking and making sure the apartment was even safe. He stepped inside and begun to look around not seeing a single soul in sight but his entire place was a wreck.
"W-Who would do such a thing?"
The sudden voice was enough to force Takano to turn around and see a stunned Onodera standing there bewildered. Takanos entire apartment was a mess. Papers were scattered everywhere, the couch and book case were both turned over. Every single photo that happened to be set in a frame was tossed over onto the floor and shards of broken glass lay everywhere. Takano heard Onoderas voice and turned looking over his shoulder.
"Ritsu I told you to stay in the hallway!"
There was absolutely no way he was going to allow Takano to walk through this place alone. Ritsu, of course, wasn't going to listen to him anyways. He pushed further inside and turned to see all the contents of Takanos fridge spilled out onto the floor everywhere. Nothing seemed to be left un touched.
"Man, they really made a mess."
Takano spoke softly as he moved towards a few of the dresser drawls searching for his lap top and surprise surprise it was gone. He sighed slamming the bottom of his fist against the couch that was over turned. The sound was loud enough to startled Onodera.
"T-Takano-san?"
The younger male instantly moved trying his best to comfort his friend. Onodera lifted his hand and pressed it against Takanos shoulder trying to offer whatever help he could. Takano felt the touch and almost instantly began to force himself to calm down. Everything - Everything was smashed, ruined or taken. But who? Who dared to do something like this and to him of all people?
"Onodera let's check your place and make sure they havent attacked your place!"
Takano didn't waste any time he forced Onodera to give up the key he ran immediately out of his place and to Onoderas only to return a few minutes later. Onodera had begun to pick up a few things at least enough to where they could stand without smashing anything or messing up anything any further. Takano walked further inwards and dropped the key down into Onoderas awaiting palm.
"Nope, your place is still as messy as ever - without the added touch of a bugler."
After getting his key back, Onodera stuffed the sucker deep inside of his pocket and then would turn his focus back towards Takano who had begun looking through all the rooms surveying the damage that had taken place. Even his bedroom was torn apart. Including the bathroom - not a single room in his little apartment had been left untouched.
"I can't believe - someone would actually do this."
Takano knew what he had to do next. With a heavy sigh he knew that the second half of their date was going to have to take a rain check. Right now, he had to call the police. Takano reached down into his pants pocket and removed his cell phone before dialing the police station. Onodera turned watching Takano and realized exactly what he was doing.
"Well, I guess that kind of ending wasn't meant to happen." He muttered the words softly before releasing a slow breath when Takano's sudden voice had caught his attention. Onodera turned his head and watched Takano who had gotten closer towards him.
"You should get out of here. Your exhausted right? The police are on the way so it'll probably take me a few hours to get the report wrote out and -"
Takano wasn't able to finish his sentence before Onodera had chimed in with his reply a little early. Honestly? Onoderas response kind of shocked Takano. Even if Onodera was trying to act so tough while saying it he could still note the blush on his face making him unbearably cute.
"That's okay. I'll stay here - for you. You know to make sure that you're okay and everything."
This time Takano wasn't going to fight Onodera. Takano sighed and simply gave up and faintly nodded his head before Onodera stood upwards and dusted off the top of his hands allowing the dirt to fall down towards the ground. Takano smirked a little across his lips seeing the reaction Onodera had - now all he had to do was get past the police. Oh this was going to be one long - long - LONG night.
