Hello! Here's the update! By the way, I was asked how many chapters this story is going to be. I estimate about...20, but I'm not sure it might be even more. Because I have soo many ideas. ;D Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 3
Birds sang, the sun shined, it was one of those really rare pretty mornings. However it wasn't even morning, it was 2 in the afternoon. That's when Ritsu finally woke up from his bear sleep. His headache was gone, replaced with a fresh mind. He was stretching in the bed when he noticed the smell of omelet. And his stomach immediately gave in and started to make growling noises. It smelled so good nothing like the food he was eating recently, only sandwiches and burgers, basically bread. He got out of bed, led by the spell-casting aroma. When he got to the kitchen he saw Takano cooking omelet. Ritsu didn't even wait for an invitation, he just sat on the table because everything inside of him screamed "I WANT THAT OMELET, AND I WANT IT NOW!".
"Good morning Takano-san."
"It's 2 pm, you should say good afternoon. " Teased the cooking man. "Anyways I'm almost done with this, so prepare your stomach for something other than bread!" Cheered the man.
"I'M NOT EATING ONLY BREAD!" Yelled the brunette.
"Yes yes you put some vegetables or meat and you call it a sandwich or a burger. I'll introduce you to something different." The man smiled.
"Oh my gosh, I have eaten omelet. You don't need to show me anything new. It's just, it has been forever since I've last had it." Replied the irritated Ritsu.
"OK ok, here you go." He placed the plate in front of Onodera. The man started to eat so fast, like he was rescued from a jungle and he finally saw normal food.
"Do you like it, what do you think, am I a good cook?"
The brunette nodded. Once he finished eating he asked for seconds. Thankfully Takano was considerate and made extras.
"Aren't you gonna eat too?" Asked Ritsu.
"Nah, I woke up at 11 and made myself something." Replied the raven haired man.
"Oh I see. Well I'm done" he pointed at his empty plate.
"There's no more extras sorry. Maybe you should learn how to cook it yourself. It's really easy." He giggled.
"Well I don't have time with so much work piling up"
"It's the beginning of the cycle, nobody even has that much work. And who knows maybe you have some cooking talent" Takano even laughed at his own comment.
"HEY! Don't laugh! Maybe I do! I'll make it, and it's gonna be better than yours!"
"That's the spirit!"
Ritsu suddenly felt heat rush through his body. He was again laughed at by Takano.
"A-anyways I-I actually wanted to talk with you about what happened yesterday. It has bothered me since. I don't want a-any misunderstandings." Onodera paused, waiting to see if Masamune will react in any odd way. But he was calm and waiting for the brunette to go to go on. "The reason I said that was not you. It was because of my parents."
Takano raised an eyebrow.
"Since my parents aren't exactly thrilled with the way things are with An-chan, they keep nagging me. How I can't find anyone better than her and when I say that I'm not interested in her, they keep asking me if I have someone and I keep replying no I'm not with anyone at the moment. And when Kisa mentioned that topic, and the way you were staring at me, I guess the words just slipped. It has become a habit of mine to say that to everyone who asks if I'm with someone...well because I'm technically not, right?
Ritsu knew that he was just adding fuel to the fire, but Takano's expression, so calm and unreadable, just makes the brunette talk more and more.
"T-takano-san I'm aware of the way you feel towards me, but that doesn't make it easier to give you an answer. Just like I told you, all that fuss with my parents, and then again I want to become a really good editor as soon as possible, everything just stresses me out. So maybe when things calm down a little but, then maybe I'll be able to respond." Ritsu was all flames at that moment.
Takano was actually really surprised. Ritsu wasn't a complaining person, but maybe everything was just so much he had to talk with someone about it. He felt special in that aspect, that the brunette has finally opened up to him, but it made him upset that he still didn't have an answer for him.
"It's OK, take your time. I told you, I'll wait for you as much as it takes. But that doesn't mean I'll stop trying, you know."
Ritsu nodded. He was finally having a decent conversation with the man, and if he could get any important point across, now was the time.
"And there is another thing that's bothering me. E-even if we start dating, we're both men and I just don't know what we can do more than going out. We can't get married or have kids. What if someday you get tired of me and leave, I-I don't think I'll be able to get over it for the again. I don't know..."
Masamune's eyes went wide. This was the closest thing to confession that Ritsu had said to him. And he could see his face, burning up like it's a dynamite about to explode. The raven haired man wanted to say so many things, but no words came from his mouth. He wanted him to feel save, he waned to tell him to stop worrying, that he would never do that, but no sound came.
"I-I need to go now, sorry for the intrusion." Ritsu, still his his pajamas, rushed to the door.
"RITSU!" Takano yelled at him
The brunette froze. Oh crap, now I've done it. There's no way I can escape this time. Why didn't I keep my mouth shut.
"You forgot your mug." Said Takano, walking towards the man with the cup in his hand.
"O-oh thank you." He took the mug and flew out of the apartment.
And of course Masamune did nothing to stop him. Because he needed to think about things as well. Now when he knew what was bothering him, he needed to think of a way to ensure that he would NEVER leave him, like Ritsu feared he'll do again. And maybe his plan with the trip will help him.
Thanks for reading! If you could please leave a review, it would mean so much, just to let me know your opinion so far. I know this chapter isn't anything really special, but I've got a lot of ideas for the next one. :3 And the tenses might be messed up in some places, I'll try to lessen those errors in the following chapters (I'm bad with Perfect, and past perfect and etc. D: )
