Chapter 2
A very peaceful day for the two love birds to move in to their home…
"Takano-san!" Onodera Ritsu yelled from their bedroom.
"What is it Ritsu?" Takano made his way towards their bedroom holding a broom in his hand with a little red scarf wrap around his head.
He saw Ritsu in a middle of their once cleaned and ironed clothes.
"What the hell happen?" He asks
"Well…" his boyfriend looked at him flustered and very much embarrass
"Well?" he pushes
"I 'attempted' to get our clothes in our cabinet but I happened to pile it up and it just… fall" He finishes
"Well, aren't you a little prince" he smirked
"I am not! I can fix this!" He huffed
"Okay. If you say so." He said and makes his way again towards the living room.
At last the two manage to finish moving in and unpacking their stuffs and is currently snuggled in front of the TV, with Ritsu sitting on the floor leaning to Takano's chest.
"Are you still sulking?" Takano asks his lover amuse to his lover's 'not talking to you' attitude.
"Just so you know, I already know you can't do much, and I still love you for that" He stated
"Still not talking to you" Ritsu says crossing his arms in his chest.
"Hey." Takano turn his lover's head and lean in for the kiss it didn't took much time for his lover to respond making him happy knowing that he could still manage to make him forgive him.

"Hey ricchan!" Kisa greeted him as he makes his way towards his desk
"Good morning Kisa-san" He said, opening his laptop.
"I'll attend your house warming party! This weekend!" at this he looks at his colleague dumbfounded
"What housewarming party?" He asks still not believing what the older man says
"Takano-san invited us over this Friday night and since it's our boss and you know. Haha" Kisa-san said enthusiastically
"I don't know about that" he muttered
"You don't want us to go?" Kisa-san asks pouting and looks away
"Ah! No, I'd love for all of you to go! Haha, Just surprise, that''s all"
"Really? Kisa asks his younger colleague
"Yes! Really." Ritsu just force a smile 'Takano-san, I swear. Sometimes' he thought.
"Oh! Good then!" Kisa clapped his hand and turn his chair towards their Editor in chief's desk.
"Takano-san! Ricchan said we could go ahead!" he laughed
Upon hearing this Takano who's fake reading the storyboard looks up
"That's good" He says
"wai…wait! What!" Ritsu says a blush creeping up his face
"There's no turning back now, Ricchan!" Kisa says facing again Ritsu and widely smiling
"We also invited Yokozawa-san, Isaka-san and Kirishima-san"
Ritsu could only stare dumbfounded that he's just been trick.
At lunch
"I can't believe that you didn't discuss this with me" He says glaring at his boss and boyfriend.
"I did, Kisa-san asks you for me, and besides you'll going to accept either way right?" Takano Masamune asks his lover grabbing his hand across the table.
"Right?" He says while kissing his lover's hand which was withdrawn quickly.
"We're at work, Masamune" his lover reprimanded him.
"Okay, geez. Sorry" He says.
Their drive back home was a silent one, Onodera immediately makes his way towards the door
"Please, don't be mad. I just wanted to share this with them." He follows his lover closely when his lover turns around to face him.
"I am not mad. Just surprise" sighing, his cute lover made his way towards him and lightly peck him on the cheeks.
"Let's make the preparations once our schedule's okay. I am tired, we should sleep." His lover said making his way upstairs with him following behind.
At the last the day of the housewarming party, Takano headed home much earlier than the others, So he could prepare ordering the snacks and buying the booze as he drives his way towards their house, with the arrangement that Ritsu would come with their guest earlier this evening he set to work.
When the preparations are done and he's just waiting for the others, He was interrupted by a phone call….
Ritsu's
"So? Shall we go now?" Ritsu called everyone and made their way toward the car. Hatori, Mino, Kisa and Onodera on Hatori's Car, while Isaka-san, Yokozawa, Kirishima on Isaka-san's car.
"Will An-chan attend?" Kisa-san asks Onodera from his seat at the back
"Yes! She'll come with my Mom" He said when his phone rings
"It's Takano-san" He says and picks up the phone
"Takano-san, we're on our way now"
"Ritsu, I am going out. Ichinose-san's acting really weird saying she's going to redo the storyboard, you can start without me."
"Oh, Okay. Be careful then" He says feeling slightly uneasy
"Ritsu"
"Yes, Takano-san?"
"I love you" he blush at the sudden confession, he heard it practically a thousand times but still it makes him extremely happy, but he can't feeling uneasy and nervous.
"Yea, me too." He says and hangs up.
"He says there's some urgent meeting with Ichinose-san, we can start without him" he looks back to his colleague
"You're blushing. Takano-san said something sweet isn't he?" Kisa teases him and laughs when he turns a deeper shade of red.
"He did not!" He said
"You're a terrible liar, ricchan! Must be along the lines of 'I love you'" He laughed when he saw a very wide eyed Ritsu, looking away.
At last hey arrived at the front gates and he welcomed everyone into the house.
"Takano-san really did prepare the foods and the booze!" Kisa-san said while sitting down on the floor of the living room.
And not long after they were all drinking with the exception of Asahina and Hatori who's driving but instead drinks iced tea and eat.
It's getting late and still Takano-san isn't showing up this gets ritsu really worried and tried to call him many times but he isn't answering.
'Maybe, he's really busy.' He thought, he look outside in hopes of seeing takano's car.
"Takano-san is really taking a long time, isn't he?" An-chan said sitting at the edge of the couch near Ritsu
"Yea, it's late." He muttered not looking at An.
"Did you call him?" Kisa approach them making the others do the same.
"Yes, I couple of times." He's getting agitated and nervous now. Where's takano?
"Did you call Ichinose-san?" Hatori interjected seeing as his younger colleague's worried face
"No, I don't have her number"
"I do have. Do you want me to call her?" Hatori asks flipping his phone open
"Yes, please. If you don't mind" Ritsu asks worried laced in his voice
"Good evening Ichinose-san. It's me Hatori, from Marukawa. I just wanted to ask if Takano-san is there, he's not picking up his phone." Hatori asks the star author.
"…."
"Okay, Thank you very much Ichinose-san" He shuts his phone and a worried look sporting his face which made Onodera's already erratic beating heart picks up its phase.
"She said, Takano-san left hours ago." He said making Ritsu slumped back in his chair, hands in his face.
"I'm sure, Takano-san just stuck in the traffic, Onodera" Isaka said trying to lighten up the mood.
When the house phone suddenly ring.
"Son, the phone." It seems that Ritsu just snap out of his trance and makes his way towards the phone. His heart it's gonna explode soon, the feeling is nauseating. He's nervous, very much nervous. He dreaded to pick up the phone. He's terrified. 'why?' he asks himself.
"Good evening" He greets.
"Is this Onodera Ritsu?" A man on the other line inquired
"Yes, I am." He said
"You are listed as emergency contact of Takano Masamune, Do you know him?"
"Ye.. Yes." He barely manages to croak out the words.
"I need you to go to the hospital now. He's car was hit by a truck and we think that he doesn't have much time left…"
