Sorry for taking so long, my computer caught a virus, stupid virus, I had to get it cleaned and it took a while, sorry, hope you enjoy.
After the fireworks were over, Onodera, Takano, Nana and Amandus began to walk around the festival some more and Nana and Amandus continued to hold hands. They both talked to each other, but Onodera and Takano stayed quiet, they didn't talk to each other, not really knowing what to say right now. Onodera looked around the festival, there were many lanterns lit and a koto was playing, it's been a while since Onodera has been to a festival, it made him feel better than he did the last couple of weeks. Just then, Onodera felt a large, warm hand brush in his hair, he turned his head and saw Takano's hand in his hair.
"W-what?" Onodera questioned, pushing Takano's hand off of his head.
"There were some petals in your hair, just like on your birthday" Takano said, blowing the petals off his fingers.
Onodera blushed at the memory of his birthday, it was real embarrassing, and he still didn't remember what happened when Takano picked him up at the party and when he woke up in his bedroom. When Onodera looked forward, he didn't see Nana or Amandus.
"Hey, where did Nana and Amandus go?" Onodera asked, looking around for the two teens.
"I don't know, maybe they wondered off somewhere" Takano answered.
"Do you think they'll be ok?" Onodera asked, looking around just in case he saw them.
"Would you stop worrying, they're going to be fine" Takano said, sticking his hands in his pockets. Onodera just sighed in annoyance.
"Well sorry for worry-" Onodera was interrupted by his stomach growling. His blushed a bit in embarrassment.
"Hungry much" Takano teased, smirking at the blushing brunet.
"Shut up" Onodera said, looking to the side.
"Ok, let's get some food then" Takano said, wrapping his arm around Onodera's waist and pulled him closer.
Onodera blushed by how close he was and tried to pull away, but Takano kept a firm hand on his waist, basically forcing him to stand so close. After they walked for a few minutes, Takano let go of Onodera and walked off to a stand. Onodera was a bit annoyed by Takano's actions, he always forced him into some things that he didn't want, but in a deep part of Onodera's mind and heart, he couldn't help but love everything that they did together.
"Here" Takano said, startling Onodera out of his thoughts. Onodera turned and saw Takano handing him a Yakitori.
"Yakitori?" Onodera questioned, but took the food.
"Yeah, it's my favorite" Takano said and took a bite.
Onodera looked at Takano for a bit, then took a bite of his Yakitori and they started to walk again. They didn't talk, but the atmosphere wasn't as tense as the last time Onodera and Takano were alone together, it was comfortable. While Onodera was looking up at the stars, he felt a warm hand wrap around his small hand and he was slightly tugged forward by Takano.
"W-what are you doing?" Onodera asked, trying to pry his hand away but Takano kept a firm hold on his hand.
"You were spacing out and slowing down, I don't want to lose you in this crowd" Takano said.
Onodera sighed in annoyance, Takano was always doing this and it irritated him. They walked for a little bit before a beep went off, Onodera turned and saw Takano take his phone out and flipped it open and read a message.
"Nana texted me and said that she wants to go home, so we're meeting her at the Shinto Shrine" Takano informed.
"Oh, ok" Onodera said and they headed back to the Shinto Shrine.
But when they half way there, there was a light rumble and a slightly light up in the sky; then it started to downpour out of nowhere.
"Ah! Where did this downpour come from?" Onodera shouted as he and Takano started to run to the shrine that was near them.
As they were near the shrine, Onodera heard Takano yell a little and when he turned around, he saw that Takano was holding onto a tree and he was half way of doing a split. Onodera couldn't help but laugh as he thought of Takano slipping and falling; Takano was a bit annoyed and dragged Onodera under the shrine for shelter. When they were under the shrine, Onodera was still laughing, he knew it was wrong to laugh at him, but he decide to laugh and enjoy it.
"Will you shut up?" Takano shouted.
"W-well I wasn't the o-one who slipped and almost did a split" Onodera managed to say between laughing.
"We were running and the rain made the ground slippery" Takano said, trying not to hit Onodera.
"And you call me a clumsy fool" Onodera said, his laughter dying down to giggles.
Onodera looked around and saw that there wasn't anyone there, and then looked up at the sky.
"Do you think Nana and Amandus are going to be ok?" Onodera asked, leaning against the wall.
"Let's hope so, this just came out of nowhere so I doubt one of them have an umbrella, but this place has a few shrines so they can find shelter" Takano said, standing beside of Onodera.
Onodera just sighed and stared at the sky, both of them in complete silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable, it was actually nice. After a few minutes of silence, Onodera heard Takano chuckle a little and he turned to look at him.
"This reminds me of the time when we were stuck in the rain" Takano said.
Onodera blushed a bit when he said that, that was the day he said 'I love you' to Takano, but the rain drowned him out.
"Oh yeah, that also reminds me of what you said then, it still bothers me; what did you say anyway" Takano asked and looked at Onodera.
"N-nothing, I said nothing that day!" Onodera said and looked away.
"If you say it like that, then it must have been important" Takano said and got closer.
"It wasn't really that important" Onodera said and stepped away, but Takano placed his hands on each side of his shoulders and pushed him to the wall, trapping him.
"Why are you always trying to run away from me?" Takano asked, looking Onodera in the eyes.
Onodera looked at him with wide eyes, he tried to look away, but Takano moved his hands from his shoulders to his face and made him look at him in the eyes.
"Why are you so scared?" Takano asked.
Onodera's heart started to race faster and faster, he was scared to give almost everything to one person, he's done that ten years ago and he got his heart ripped out and he didn't want to feel that again; it surprised him that Takano figured that out.
"Do you think that I would spend ten years looking for you and all this time telling you how much I love you just to break your heart again?" Takano said.
Onodera could barely say anything; he felt his throat grow tighter and tried hard not to let his tears fill his eyes.
"You should know me better than that, Ritsu" Takano said.
Onodera's eyes widen a bit, and then he shut his eyes tightly and looked down.
"How can I know anything about you?" Onodera asked, his voice in a low whisper, fearing that if he spoke louder his would start to choke on his own words.
"You can if you just ask me" Takano said, resting his forehead on Onodera's.
Onodera wants to ask Takano about him, but he's scared that if he knows too much, they might separate again, leaving him heartbroken all over again.
"I want to know everything about you too. What you love and what you hate, what you find interesting and what you find annoying, everything" Takano said.
Onodera stood there in silence, not knowing what to say, so much emotion was swelling up inside of him that if he didn't let them out, he felt like he was going to break. Onodera felt his head being lifted and before he could meet Takano's eyes, he felt his lips pressed against his very gently. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds, then Takano pulled away and looked at Onodera with a passionate stare, causing Onodera to blush and look away.
But Takano still had a hold of Onodera and pulled him into another kiss, but this one was more deep and full of love that tears just started to leak out of Onodera's closed eyes and down his cheeks. The emotions that Onodera was filling only minutes ago were starting to pour out in this one kiss that they were sharing. As the kiss went on, Onodera could feel his posture starting to slip as he started to forget about everything except for Takano and himself.
