Me: Yea Takano, what the fuck is your problem!?
Takano: What the fuck!? How come you can cuss and I'm the one who gets bitched at?
Ritsu: Takano-san! One more word I swear this story will take a turn for the worse!
Me: Well, apparently I don't make the decisions anymore…..0_0
Takano: Alright everyone! She doesn't own shit! Okay?! Damn All of you are idiots!
Me: 'tsk' whatever Takano. Come back into your poke' ball.
Ritsu: Uh…I think you have the wrong show…this is yaoi….not pokemon.
ME: oh…true….Well, hope you like this chapter!
Chapter 9: A risky choice
Haitani sat at his desk, typing away at his computer. He acted normal, talked normal. Seemed overall, well, normal….But people knew he wasn't entirely normal…for there are definitely different definitions for word. Men knew he was bisexual, women were blind to it, yes, the man was in a way mysterious. He was kind, generous, friendly, the ideal co-worker-but there were those who knew his secret about Onodera Ritsu.
"Haitani-san. We need to talk." A man stood in the doorway, lean, brown hair, brown eyes watched Haitani as he looked up from his laptop, closing it in front of him.
"What is it?" Haitani stood from his seat, shoving his hands in his pant pockets. The man stood still, and crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Come with me. We can't talk here." The man left out the doorway, Haitani following closely behind.
The tall man led Haitani into a secluded room, closing and locking the door behind them. Haitani leaned against the wall, sighing deeply as the man unfolded his arms.
"This better be good." Haitani looked around the room, listening for a reply.
"Haitani-san, I know you want revenge, and I know that you hate Takano Masamune. But we're back together now, I don't see why this is still going on. I know I agreed to help you with this, but I don't want to be arrested." Haitani stood quietly, nibbling on his lower lip.
"But you see, I don't want you anymore…" The man looked puzzled, heart almost shattering at the comment.
"What the hell does that mean Haitani?!" The man furiously grabbed Haitani's shirt, heart racing profoundly. Haitani smirked, pushing his lover off of him.
"Look, I don't mean to be a dick Ikuto, but…I am serious about someone else right now…just like how you are about Takano-san. In case it's slipped your mind," Haitani headed towards the door, hands still relaxing in his pockets, "You were the one who said Takano Masamune was the only one for you. And guess what, he rejected you. Why? Because he doesn't like man whores. He wants what I want. And that…..
Is Onodera Ritsu."
Takano held Ritsu's hand through the park, slowly strolling through it. Ritsu, confused, turned to Takano,
"Takano-san…"
"Call me Masamune. We're not at work. And you're my lover, Ritsu." Takano smiled to himself, feeling the warmth of Ritsu's small hand warped in his. It was nice to call Ritsu his lover at last. It was well worth the wait.
Ritsu blushed, and averted his eyes from his official lover. "M-Masamune….W-why are we here?" Takano stopped walking, and pointed at a nearby tree. Ritsu looked in that direction, trying to find something of importance. "What about it?"
Takano didn't answer, only tugged Ritsu to the area. "Sit down." Ritsu sat himself in front of the tree, hugging his knees comfortably.
"Well, what is it?" Ritsu waited for an explanation, hoping it wasn't something dumb. Takano stood, watching the area for people.
"I want you to listen very carefully. Do you have your phone?" Ritsu nodded and pulled out his cell from his pocket. "Good. Now, when was the last time you heard from Haitani?"
"huh, uh…Earlier today. Why?"
"Was it a call or message? And what was said?" Takano took a seat next to the brunette, watching as he opened messages.
"Messages. He said he'd be coming by later…but he doesn't know im staying with you for this month." Ritsu bit his lip inside, fidgeting his fingers against the phone. Takano took hold of the phone, taking a moment to read through the messages exchanged.
"Okay. Now, I want you to message Haitani, and ask him what time he'll be here." Ritsu looked up in disbelief, gazing fearfully into Takano's eyes.
"You want me to do what?!" Ritsu stood abruptly, shouting at the order from Takano. People looked their way, whispering and watching as Ritsu snatched his phone. "No way! What the hell is wrong with you!?" Takano stood, taking the phone back.
"Damn it Onodera, just do it. You have to trust me." Takano stared into Ritsu's eyes, trying to get a reaction out of him. But all he could see was anger and hurt.
"What are you trying to do…..I don't…I don't understand why you want to put me in that situation again…" Ritsu clenched his fists tightly, and turned his head away from his lover. Takano took Ritsu into a light hug, petting his hair.
"Ritsu, please. Trust me. I have a plan." Ritsu sighed, and took his phone to message Haitani.
"I hate you." Ritsu mumbled and blushed lightly as he typed. Takano chuckled and watched Ritsu's choice of words on the message closely.
I just hope I'm right…
Haitani saw his phone light up on his desk. He raised an eyebrow, and opened the message.
From: Onodera Ritsu
To: Haitani-san
What time will you be coming?
Haitani felt his heart clench, something was off. This wasn't right. Ritsu was in a huge denial and rejection earlier…this didn't make sense. He struggled to find an answer for the sudden message. This must be a trick…could it be Takano Masamune's doing? Well, he couldn't see Ritsu just asking out of the blue for a time. Or could he? No-it had to be a trick. No doubt about it. Ritsu was smart, but he would never put himself in unreasonable danger. He rejected him so many times, so why did this one feel different?
To: Onodera Ritsu
From: Haitani-san
Why the sudden change in attitude? (-.-)
Haitani set down his phone, and opened his laptop once again. He rested his hand on his chin, thinking about the situation.
From: Onodera Ritsu
To: Haitani-san
I want to be with you. I've changed my mind. I've been thinking a lot, and I think that I could give us a chance. Please meet me. Let's make it a date, yes? 3
Haitani felt his heart about to burst. Both of happiness and anxiety. Though this is what he wanted, it felt wrong. Maybe his hunch was wrong, maybe he really didn't want to be with Takano anymore….Whatever the case, he'd have to be ready. It could easily be a trap.
To: Onodera Ritsu
From: Haitani-san
Okay. Where do you want to meet at? XD 3
Haitani bit his finger, anxiously waiting for the reply.
BEEP. BEEP.
From: Onodera Ritsu
To: Haitani-san
The bar by my apartment. It's close to your house, yes? O/O
To: Onodera Ritsu
From: Haitani-san
You want to come home with me? :D ;* 3
Haitani tapped his foot underneath his desk, impatiently awaiting a the reply he was hoping for.
please say yes…than everything will fall into my favor…
Haitani stared at his phone, it had only been about thirty seconds since he sent the last message…he wouldn't be replying right away.
BEEP. BEEP.
From: Onodera Ritsu
To: Haitani-san
…yes…\(*/o/*)/ unless it's too much of a hassle….we could always do it a different time…:/
Haitani felt his heart skip a beat. Everything was working out in his favor. Maybe he didn't love Ritsu, but he did find himself absolutely infatuated by him. He did feel bad about stabbing him, but he deserved it. Ritsu didn't know what he was putting him through. He wanted him for his selfish desires, and he would have it.
Haitani quickly found himself sending a response.
From: Haitani-san
To: Onodera Ritsu
^.^ I'd be more than happy to show you what a good time is. Besides…..I'm glad that you've finally realized that im much more suited for you than Takano-san. In case you didn't know, he's been sleeping with my ex lover for the past two months…
Haitani stood from his desk in victory. The last part of course wasn't true at all. Takano hated Haitani's ex lover after all the times he was rejected and never stopped pursuing. But it was all the more reason from Ritsu to come running into his arms.
Takano Masamune, you should've thought you're plan all the way through. When Ikuto shows up at your door tonight, Ritsu will definitely come running back to yours truly…
Takano snatched the phone away from Ritsu, who only stared at the message he just received. Ritsu stared at Takano, who was now extremely pissed at the comment.
"Ritsu, you already know that I haven't been sleeping around. You're in my apartment almost every night, and we leave work together. Don't believe a word he says. This is all just part of the game." Takano reassured Ritsu with a peck on the forehead. Ritsu's hands continued to fidget, and he pulled out a medication bottle.
Takano watched in confusion, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Taking my pain medication, geez. Calm down. I know it's a lie. After what he did to me, I don't see me running-or crawling to him even if I was dead. Plus, after all that waiting and annoying pursuing you did, I'm pretty sure I was the only one in your bedroom for the past year." Ritsu popped to pills into his mouth, swallowing them dry. He gave a light smile, and rested his hand on Masamune's. "Don't worry, I believe you."
Takano felt a smile of relief come across his face. He was at ease hearing those words…but…it was odd that Ritsu suddenly took medication after THAT particular message…Oh well, maybe it was just time to take the first batch…
"Ritsu, I love you." Takano kissed Ritsu's relaxed hand gently, and watched Ritsu's face turn from pale to pink in a split second.
"I-i…uh….*cough*ove you *cough*oo." Takano chuckled, and looked at the message again.
"You better reply, or he'll suspect something." Takano looked at it sadly, handing him the phone. Ritsu pushed the reply button, and typed quickly.
"Okay, it's sent." Takano smiled as Ritsu slid the phone into his pocket. "Now what?" Takano shrugged, and looked around at the almost vacant park.
"You wanna make-out?" Ritsu turned a bright red, shushing Takano.
"!We're in publ-Mmpphh" Takano kissed Ritsu, eventually deepening the kiss. Ritsu, reluctantly, slid his arms around Takano's neck, giving in to the sensation. "Takano-san…just kissing…no more than that, okay?" Takano nodded, giving a small smile once again.
"Yes my little prince."
YAY! Chapter 9 is done! Whew! Tell me what you guys think! Hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! XD
