I'll be honest here that the stranger that is with Haitani isn't an OC character. It is a minor side character that will be revealed in a future chapter.

His hand went delicately over the cover as a smile fell over his face. His fingertips tingled in his excitement unaware of the audience he was attracting around him. As he rose up, Ritsu was smiling as he left the department to get something to drink after using the facilities. Of course he didn't expect Kisa to be standing behind him as he was washing his hands.

"Hey Kisa. How are you?" Ritsu asked as he went to dry his hands.

Standing there with a knowing smile, Kisa raised his eyebrow up. "I'm fine. You look utterly in love lately." Coming closer he whispered. "If I would of known I could of turned you a little gay, I would of a long time ago for my sake." Winking at him, he stepped away from him.

Eyes wide, Ritsu went into denial mode. "I'm a man here. I like women. Seriously, Kisa don't talk like that."

Still smiling, Kisa placed his hand on his shoulder. "For one, I'm just teasing about me hitting on you. I like you and all, but as a friend. For two, I saw you plenty of times with that hot ravenette you met at the coffee shop. I saw the way you both react to one another. I'm not stupid. Also if you need to talk to anyone about this, you can with me. I have experience and you can trust me."

Considering his words, but considering the echo chamber they were in, Ritsu had him follow him towards the outside stairway. From there he began to discuss his relationship with Kisa. There was none of him teasing Ritsu in anyway. He asked questions and interjected when needed. Still he did want to say one thing.

"You know he does remind me of my boyfriend though. He was straight when I first met him, but man he went over to the gay side pretty quick." At Ritsu's blush, Kisa quickly spoke. "What I'm saying here is that your boyfriend fell for you as quickly Kou fell for me. They also are these romantics. Of course the only difference here is that I believe your boyfriend is a sexual being by what I seen of him, and you are still shy. My boyfriend and I were pretty gung-ho about the sex part."

Ritsu's eyes went wide. "Well I was never much confident in it anyhow."

Kisa examined him. "I don't see why you aren't."

"What do you mean?"

Giving off a friendly lighthearted laugh, Kisa sighed then. "Oh you uke's." Clapping his hand down on his shoulder, Kisa grinned. "That seme of yours is completely one satisfied looking beast. So trust me when I say that you are good in the sack."

He could fry an egg on his cheeks, he knew he could. "Um."

Turning serious, Kisa said seriously. "Just remember you can talk to me in case you have any questions about this. When I was first going through this, I didn't really have anyone. I had to figure all this out on my own. So just come to me if you have any questions. I'm neutral here."

In the time that he knew Kisa, Ritsu knew that the man meant what he said. "Thank you. I actually appreciate it.

"Also get a cock ring if you want to prolong the sensation of not coming for a lot longer. It is worth it." Winking at his friend, he privately wanted to take a picture of Ritsu's flaming red face.

"Anymore information that you could pull up at all?" Kirishima wondered towards Yokozawa as his daughter busied herself in the kitchen.

"No and with us doing that private recon, this Onodera is extremely squeaky. He is a model citizen." He answered as a deep sigh escaped him. "His parents aren't gumdrops and rainbows though."

Raising his eyebrow up, Zen felt curious as he wondered what that Auditor pulled up when they had them drop by that publishing company. "Meaning?"

Yokozawa honestly didn't want to say it with his daughter present. "They honestly want to force a legal matter in to bring Onodera into the company. With that, they want him to marry a girl they want him to marry." Taking a sip of his tea, he continued. "I haven't told this to, Takano yet."

"We have to though. You know that it just might be them that hired this person."

"Yeah please kill someone who gets in your way." Yokozawa said as he skipped how many paces in front of him. "This is what happened to Jun."

"True. Still we need to find out who they are. For all we know, they want to take out Takano. Onodera-san is probably just the weakness to expose him." Zen pointed out. "He is our top member."

"I know and that does make him a target."

Kisa noticed the tall composed male before Ritsu did. He smiled knowingly wishing to tease his friend, but decided to pull his friend from his reverie. "Ricchan. Look at the marvelous scenery."

Lifting his head up, Ritsu spotted Masamune as he lifted his hand up to wave at him. Kisa was correct in it being marvelous. "Would you like to meet him?"

"Perhaps next time. I have my own hunk of a man to meet up with so I'll see you tomorrow." Waving bye to him, Kisa went off in the opposite direction.

Takano knew that to be the man from that one apartment he shot that prick weeks back. By the way he was speaking to, Ritsu he had nothing to worry about. Though when he spotted how Haitani came out of the building looking down at Ritsu, Takano saw a predator. A sexual one at that.

Coming up to him happily, Ritsu appeared very pleased. "Hi Masamune. How was your day?"

It was getting harder for him to lie. "Slow. Boring. How was yours?" Takano figured in telling a mundane something.

"Pretty decent. Just always busy." At that moment they were moving to where he parked. "Can't wait to get home. Mostly can't wait for this weekend."

That part perked him up. He'll take both, Ritsu and Tama off to his home to spend the weekend there. It'll be like them acting like a little family. "I can't wait either."

Watching the couple drive off, Haitani frowned in displeasure even as another person joined his side. Their knowing expression before they whispered in his ear had, Haitani following him down the stairs towards his own waiting vehicle.

Walking Yokozawa to the door to bid him a good night, Zen was always at this need to have him as pulled to him as, Zen was to him. There was always something about, Takafumi that he loved to decipher while the man went through the motions. He also loved that while he acted like he was a tough shit, he was a mild mannered baby kitten.

Placing his hand on the doorknob, Zen just couldn't watch him leave just yet. "Not yet." He whispered almost achingly.

Yokozawa turned his face to him in a moment of confusion. He spotted a vision of hurt in the other that he couldn't comprehend even before Zen's lips were on his. While his eyes were large, Zen's were closed in a mask of solitude. Zen's hands were cupping his face in comfort and while Yokozawa knew he could get away from him, he was too stunned to do anything about it.

Pulling away, Zen took in the fact that he really caught him off guard. "I deeply care for you." He wanted to say more, but he said that as he opened the door. "Have a good evening."

"Have a good evening." Bowing to him, Yokozawa slipped outside only to find himself more confused. There was no disgust written on his mind, just confusion as he made his way out of there.

It was still a strange sensation to simply have ones ass up in the air while another pumped into you from behind. It also felt like a much larger scope for Ritsu at the feel of, Masamune's hand as he wrapped his arm around his waist to pump his erect member. How he managed to do all this with such control of his own body, when Ritsu could barely control his movements right now, was beyond him.

Still it was an increasingly erotic feeling as his breathing started to become more stuttered as he drew nearer to release. Ritsu spoke out his name. He pleaded to have this slowed down, but he felt he didn't say the words as his body was slowly adjusted to his back once more.

"I need to see your face." Takano came down to kiss him as he placed himself inside him once more. "I need your eyes on mines as we make love."

Ritsu arched his back as he clawed the bed. To hear those words from Masamune had him releasing much too fast now. "I'm sorry." He choked out.

Takano smiled pleasantly. "No need for that. I love seeing your satisfaction, and I'm going to keep giving it to you."

Glad to have him finishing up for himself, Ritsu felt himself slowly begin to harden again. "Shit."

"I see you already have your second wind." One hand reaching down, Takano held his penis as he bent forward to lick, Ritsu's nipples. The sounds of Ritsu's moans accompanied by the friction between them was driving him to the edge that he felt himself release.

"Masa-Ah-uh-mune."

"And I'm not even done with you." He pulled out of him to lower himself. Takano just loved how shy he was even as he took that delightful member in his mouth to begin pumping it.

His head tilted back while Ritsu gasped louder. He clawed the bed more as his head tilted forward to meet the gaze of Masamune's smoldering one. "Fuck!"

Takano's mouth was filled with him and while he continued to keep himself hard, he raised himself back up to put himself back inside. Those wide eyes of Ritsu's informed him that he couldn't believe he still wasn't finished, and Takano didn't bother to deny it as he thrust himself back inside.

Ritsu jerked at the invasion once more before, Masamune came down to catch him with a kiss. Arms around the taller man's body. Tongues tangling. Ritsu felt the warmth spread once more into his body in a satisfaction that had them both panting hard.

Parting just a bit, Takano kissed his cheeks tenderly before he disengaged down there to roll himself over to place Ritsu on top of him. Feeling him move a bit more towards his side, but rest his head on his chest with one arm across him, and one leg over his leg, Takano was in absolute bliss.

There was silence between them. Comfortable silence as they held one another. Their feelings confirmed, but unconfirmed at the same time since neither spoke out loud at time. Takano wanted to say it, but knew that Ritsu was still getting comfortable in this new role in his life. So he thought it was best to just say as much as possible without scaring him to death.

Still, Takano wanted to practically say to him passionately that he loves him.

Meanwhile in another place, Yokozawa had drinks with Jordan before he brought him back to his secret warehouse. He was flattered by how much Jordan felt for him, but it all was too soon as he laid there on a blanket in a car that was worth more than himself.

His pants were gone and his lover was busy licking his shaft very lovingly. They were slow methodical licks. Expressive actually to the point that even he almost blanked out, and he hardly did that before. The way that Jordan's eyes met his, Yokozawa moaned out. The guy was good at giving head, this he had to admit.

He watched him move up to kiss him, his taste intermingling with Jordan's. Yokozawa opened his eyes briefly to see the saddened look of Zen briefly before it materialized back to his lover. Thankfully, Jordan didn't notice anything as he went back down to remove the remaining bits of his clothing.

Feeling himself being prepared, Yokozawa kept seeing Zen's face once in a while making him wonder if he should stop this now.

'Why am I thinking of that bastard now?' Yokozawa thought almost helplessly.
