During the journey, Ritsu couldn't help but replay the earlier moment in his head. The more he thought about what had happened, the more his face flushed, the more his heartbeat grew erratic. Takano, noticing his sudden change, turned to look at him with worry in his eyes asking him, ' Hey, are you okay?'

Ritsu, surprised, hurriedly turned to him, covering his shock with a fake laugh, ' Ehehe, why wouldn't I be okay? I mean, what's there for me to worry about? Ehehe,' Ritsu noticing Takano's suspicious look, ended off awkwardly, ' ehehe.'

Just as Ritsu finished, Takano slammed on the brakes. Turning over to Ritsu, Takano said, ' Look, I get that there are still certain stuff that you won't share with me, but if this is how it's going to be with the both of us in the future, this uncomfortable and unnatural, I need you to tell me what the hell is going on here.'

Ritsu, about to protest, took one look in Takano's brown eyes and felt his resolve crumble. However, he knew that he couldn't bring himself to tell Takano what was really going on, instead he simply brought out the first topic in his mind.

' I-It's about the camp,' Ritsu hurriedly blustered out, his eyes widened at his own lie, however he kept continuing, 'I'm worried that I may not have a suitable partner.'

At this, Takano raised both of his eyebrows,' Hm? Whatever do you mean?'

Ritsu responded, ' Well… I mean, I don't really think that anyone would be willing to go with me. I'll probably cause trouble for everyone.'

Upon finishing, Takano looked over to him and smacked him over his head, ' Ritsu, you may be one of the most slowest, dumbest and insecure person I ever knew, however for you, a little trouble is necessary, besides it's what makes you.. you. Plus, you have an ability like no other, you made the great Takano Masamune fall for you, that doesn't come easily, you know?'

After finishing, Takano blushed and turned over his head before engulfing Ritsu in a warm hug. Feeling moisture on his shirt, Takano quickly withdrew from the hug and lifted Ritsu's face up to his eyes level. Seeing his suspicions were correct, Takano hurriedly used the hem of his shirt to wipe away his tears and asked him gently, ' Why are you crying?'

Ritsu, didn't bother replying and instead buried his face in Takano's chest and resumed his crying fest. At that moment, all they had in their mind was each other. Takano Masamune's mind was full of Ritsu Onodera, and Ritsu Onodera's mind was full of Takano Masamune. They didn't care about the traffic or angry drivers honking at them, nor the fact that there was a police officer knocking on their window rather angrily, all they thought of is each other.
