GUESS WHO IT IS! *A* HI again everyone! ^^ I'm glad to be back with the first Omake for Smitten, and hopefully I'll get to writing the next (and final) piece for this story. I honestly didn't really think that I'd reach over 50 reviews for only one story (I IS SO HAPPY u.u) I'm sorry you've had to wait for so long for this chapter and I'm even more happy that new readers are beginning to get drawn into Smitten.
I love all you amazing people! :D
OMAKE 1: 'Onodera's predicament'
Onodera let out a loud "Argh!" as he dropped his bag and workload from the day's stressful events as he slammed the front door to his single bed roomed apartment. After the hellish week that Onodera experienced as half a neko, he still couldn't believe that Takano-san didn't have the decency NOT grope him during work hours.
Earlier –as Onodera was leaving to gather the new manuscripts from his mangaka – Takano had literally ambushed him on his way to the elevator and trapped him in one of the currently unoccupied meeting rooms. Luckily for Onodera (or maybe rather unluckily) Isaka happened to have been passing by and popped into the room right after Takano had slammed it closed.
Onodera breathed out a sigh of relief as he recalled the memory, but he couldn't help but feel karma (or rather Takano) was about to come knocking on his doorstep.
Cautiously Ritsu stepped out of his shoes as he quietly made his way into his chaotic apartment. It had been quite an experience getting back home; not only had he NOT successfully avoided Takano when he left the building, but on the way to the train station was followed… by a gathering of stray cats. Fearing to be infected again, Onodera had run like a man on fire to the station.
But even then, the feline friends hadn't left him alone. On one of the stops, and old woman had hobbled on the train, carrying a pet holder which contained- you guessed it- ANOTHER CAT! Onodera swore the thing was glaring at him from within its confinement. When the train slowed to the next stop, Onodera braced himself to run again.
When the doors opened, Onodera leapt off the train, only to run into the person he had been trying to evade all day: Takano.
Worn out from the exhausted run to the station from the stalker-ish stray cats, Onodera was too tired to push away the taller man, and let himself be carried like a sack of potatoes back to their apartment complex, but not before mumbling "Don't expect any tonight"
Onodera face-palmed himself as he thought over that single sentence that he had uttered out. It was like he had implied that he was had expected Takano…to…sleep with him… again. Onodera felt his face turn red –whether from anger or embarrassment he wasn't sure- and he reached up to pull his hair in frustration. 'WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?' he thought desperately as he dumped his manuscripts on the small coffee table and travelled back to his work bag to get out his editing pens.
Just as Onodera was about to settle onto the floor, the sound of someone knocking his door echoed through the silent apartment and Ritsu leapt to his feet in an instant. Already knowing who awaited him on the other side, Onodera had grabbed a weapon of defence- his umbrella- as he cautiously made his way to his front door, and glanced through the peek hole.
Sure enough, Takano had already gotten changed, done his work, went grocery shopping with expert speed (he wasn't the head of the emerald department for nothing). On normal –SOMEWHAT NORMAL- circumstances, Ritsu would have already ushered the taller man inside his suite, however Takano wasn't alone; in his arms was a very comfortable looking Sorata.
"Oi! Let me in" Takano hollered, knocking impatiently on the door.
"Hell no! Not with your cat in your hands!" Onodera snapped, double checking to make sure the locks on his door were all locked and secured, "I KNOW WHATS GOING THROUGH THAT FUCKING PERVERTED MIND OF YOURS TAKANO-SAN!"
"Eh? What are you talking about?" Takano said airily, acting as innocently as he could; which didn't fool Ritsu.
"I KNEW THOSE CATS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING WERENT REALLY STRAYS!" Onodera growled as he 'pieced' the pieces of 'Takano's plan' together. No way in hell was he going to get infected with Smitten again. 'NO WAAAAAY!' he thought determinedly.
"HUH? What are you talking about?" Takano snapped as his –ungodly strong- foot kicked the door –locks and all- wide open, "Sorata is the gentlest, sweetest, most good tempered cat I've ever adopted!"
Onodera glared at the intruder "Yeah, He's the ONLY cat you've ever adopted!"
"And unlike Yokozawa –who is the cat whisperer-" Takano continued, choosing to ignore Onodera comment and allowed himself to enter the apartment, "cats TREMBLE IN FEAR WHEN I APPROACH THEM"
Sorata mewled happily as if in agreement with his owner's statement and rubbed his head affectionately in the crook of Takano's arm.
Onodera dumped his now useless shield to the ground and looked at his –once again- broken door in annoyance.
'I knew I needed more locks' he thought bitterly as he braced himself to tonight's events as he slowly turned on his heels to scowl at the man and his happy cat who were currently taking up residence on his couch.
"Hehe and you haven't even begun working on your manuscripts yet. Are you a moron?" Takano cackled haughtily from his comfortable position on Onodera's small lounge.
"I'M NOT A MORON" Onodera screeched, and the never ending arguments between the two started once more.
WOOOOOWHOOOOO~ This chapter was actually supposed to be waay shorter than this, but I found myself having so much fun writing about Onodera that my hands couldn't stop typing XD (ARENT YOU GLAD I LOVE YOU AL? jks jks)
I want to thank everyone who had been patiently waiting for me to start writing again and I reward you all with this chapter… and the very –briefly and undetailed- lemons that I will include in the next chapter! THAT'S RIGHT YOU HEARD ME! LEEEEEEMOOONS ARE COMING... Though not as awesome and detailed and juicy as i would haver liked them to be... T^T
But please be a little more patient (as I have school assignments building up and work =_=)
