HEYY, ANKO HERE~! So, I said "by the end of this week, Takano will have Ritsu confess" right? Turns out, this chapter will be set on a Sunday (because why not), so this is the third part of the Takano's "plan", and this will probably spike up some emotions in Ritsu, so it won'texactly be by the end of the week.

Oh, and this chapter will be on Takano's POV ))

Also, Ritsu is a bit OOC here, but, well, he already opened up to Takano a little, so why not make him nice for once? uwu

I do not own Sekaiichi Hatsukoi~

-Takano's POV-

Today's the third day, the other day was a success, I just hope today will be, too.

It's a day off, fortunately, so I can ask Ritsu out on a date, if he will accept.

The third tip said:

"3. Take them out for lunch or dinner.

- court them, and have fun with them, take them out to a park, and give them a day of relaxing."

.

Finished up in the shower and dressed in casual clothes, I head over to the kitchen to have some coffee. Grabbing my phone, I texted Ritsu and asked if he could to go out with me today.

To: Onodera Ritsu

Fr.: Takano Masamune

Sub.: date?

Are you free today?

With the last word, I sent it immediately. I waited patiently for a reply as I took a sip from my coffee-filled mug. Finally, the ringtone went off, 'that was fast.'

I read the contents of the message till the last word, Ritsu was so honest when it comes to texting, it's so cute.

Onodera Ritsu, re*: Yes, I am free today. Thank you again for the books! ( ´▽｀)

I smiled widely at the message, that was so cute, oh my god. I'm glad Ritsu had opened up to me now, but he's still a bit...stubborn, and shy. At least now I know my work paid off.

Takano Masamune, re: you're welcome. Now, get ready, I'm heading over to your apartment. With that sent, I turned off my phone and went over to the the genkan, slipping on my shoes, I opened the door and walked outside, directly going to Ritsu's apartment. I rang the doorbell two, three times before small sounds of footsteps running towards the door.

"I-I'm sorry!", Ritsu panted slightly, slipping on his almost-falling shoes. He looks cute in these clothes, a salmon-colored cardigan, which wasn't closed, over a cream colored shirt that had a cute blue baby bird design, and he wore jeans that fitted him perfectly.

"So cute..."

"Eh?"

"Ah, sorry, I spaced out. Anyway, ready to go?"

"Hai!", he answered, smiling almost sweetly.

We arrived at a restaurant I wanted to try out when I got the chance to go out with my Ritsu.

We walked inside and the waiter at front directed us to a table near the window, there were flower pots hung from the ceiling, I guess the waiter figured it out.

"This place is nice...", Ritsu smiled shyly, taking off his cardigan and hanging it on his chair.

"I've always wanted to go here with you, Ritsu."

I gave the waiter the menu, saying that we'll just have a meal for two.

"E-etto...Takano-san?"

"Hm?"

"I've noticed you've been...acting unusually the past two days, is there something troubling you?", he asked, innocently looking worried, so cute. "Hm? Me? Acting unusual? Oh please, it's nothing, I just wanted to get closer is all.", I answered, trying to hide the suspicion.

"Oh, I see...uh...I...I wanted to get...closer to..Takano-san...as well..", Ritsu blurted out, he was so innocently honest with his words.

"You want to get closer to me? What ever happened to stubborn little Ritsu?", I asked jokingly, chuckling.

"I...uh...um...I think I...", he stuttered, blushing madly.

"Hm? What's wrong?"

"I—"

"Excuse me, here's your order.", the waiter came and placed two empty plates and a large plate with the food I ordered.

"Ahem, what were you saying, Ritsu?"

"Ah...n-nothing! I meant I think I'm..f-feeling hungry, ahaha! Let's eat.", he said, grabbing his knife and fork as he started eating, his face still red.

.

-time skip, 5:30 PM-

"Thank you for today, I really appreciated it.", Ritsu smiled brightly, waving and saying "good night."

I waved back, walking towards my own apartment.

I don't know if today was a success yet, but tomorrow, I will definitely know.

ahahahaha *awkwardly laughs* The waiter was quite a mood-ruiner, eh? XD sorry sorry this is so lame and cheesy because I wrote this on a whim suddenly, and I still haven't finished my art requests, so see you later~!

Wow, what a great turn of events though~! At least Ricchan's feelings are noticed now.

Oh don't worry, next chapter is a bit more lovey-dovey than this one~! (Note: Takano's plan will be demolished on the next chapter, you'll know why soon)

Anyways, till next time, sweeties
