Lately, Masamune would see Ritsu with a small frown on his usually cute and bright face. He guessed it was due to a bad day or maybe because he's been having lots of headaches lately. But today was the day Masamune would get rid of those pain-in-the-ass headaches and make Ritsu bright and smiling again. Nothing is a better idea than writing a tooth-decaying-sweet poem or note for the one you love when they're in a bad mood or when they're sad, right?
"Onodera," Masamune called out.
"Hm?", came the almost-emotionless response from the brunet.
"What's your favorite color?"
"Um...mint green...probably? I don't know...", he answered, wow that was a really truthful response, Masamune thought.
"Alright.", Masamune was unsure of what to do about the information he just got, since he just used the "what's your favorite color" line from clichéd scenes as an excuse. What he did think of, was to use mint green paper and write something sweet on it and design it and then give it to his beloved. That way, he can save more time and save Ritsu from the stress of being depressed.
He grabbed the mint green construction paper from his folder and immediately took a dark blue pen from his pen holder.
"Yosh. Let's do this.", he told himself silently, very very silently.
.
.
.
"Uwah?!", a box from the top shelf fell on Ritsu, which caused him to stumble down to the floor, his pale forehead tinged with red directly on the spot which vertex of the box hit.
"Woah, are you okay Ricchan?", asked Kisa, using that extremely worried tone he uses whenever his seat mate gets hurt or is depressed/upset/sad.
"I-I think I'm fine, it doesn't hurt all that much...", Ritsu answered, a slightly nervous laugh coming out as well. "Should I get you an ice pack?", Masamune appeared and held out a hand. "Ah, i-is that alright with you, Takano-san?", he asked, at the same time taking the hand that was held out to him and stood up slowly. "Of course it is, what do you take me for?", he chuckled only slightly.
"Ah, yeah..sorry...thank you for your concern- ah, I need to finish my proposal!", he said, frantic and panicking, and also blushing really deeply. Again, Masamune chuckled slightly, but still worried that his Ritsu might still be pushing himself to his own limit without patience. 'Why did I have to fall in love with this idiot again?', he thought as he walked away, going to the direction of wherever he was about to go to.

What the hell was he doing embarrassing himself in front of Masamune like that? His goal for the day was to act like he wasn't in a bad mood, well he sorta pulled that off but the fact that he got his forehead swollen and red due to a mere falling box (which in fact only had a few papers inside) accident just made him want to take back time.
'Get a grip, Onodera! Now's not the time to be blushiiiiing! Nnggahh! Stop blushing!', he practically slapped himself internally and slapped his cheeks to "stop himself from blushing."
Once he saw Masamune walking back to the office, ice pack in hand, he clasped his hands against his cheeks once more till his face was officially tinged with red.
"Here's your ice pack.", the blue-colored ice pack was handed to him as he felt his heart skip a beat once his fingers brushed against Masamune's own.
'Ah, his fingers are smooth...-wait, what the hell am I thinking here?!', once again, he internally yelled at himself.
His cheeks were painted red as he placed the ice pack on his forehead and let his head rest on his desk for a while, good thing he was done with that proposal.
In no less than a minute, he fell soundly asleep.
"Thank youuu- Takano-sa...n...", he said loudly, before he fell asleep completely.
Masamune wanted to wake him up and tell him not to doze off, but he knew his love needed rest, so he let it be.
And then he remembered he needed to do something with that note he was going to give to Ritsu, but his mind paid no thought to it.
He was out of ideas. What should he do? Should he ask for help-oh no no no, Takano Masamune does not ask for help unless it's really necessary.
Finally, the heavens above blessed him with an idea on what to write.

Hours passed and once Ritsu had woken up, his ice pack was lump and the ice in it melted already. His forehead was still swollen and red but not all that much anymore, he felt better than he did this morning. Realizing it was about time he went home, he grabbed all his things and walked to the door.
Although his mind told him he was missing something, or someone he was supposed to be with right now.
...
"Ah, Takano-san!", he yelled, and no one was there in the office but him, luckily.
He quickly went to the elevator and pressed down, as the door opened, he went in and swiftly pressed GF (ground floor).
He got out of the elevator and made his way outside the building, only to find a person leaning against the wall for support and was waiting patiently for someone.
That was then he realized that person was actually Masamune.
"Takano-san...um..", he appeared before the taller male and it surprised him, eventually.
"Oh, you're finally awake, I was waiting here for you. I didn't want to disturb your deserved rest, you see."
"Oh..um..t-thank you-"
"Wait a second, I have something for you.", he said, taking what seemed to be a sheet of mint green paper out of his pocket and handed it to the other male.
"What is it?"
"Read it."
Ritsu made a questioning look before he opened the folded paper and read the contents.
Onodera Ritsu,
I may not be the sweetest at all times, but just let me say this; it's when you're smiling that you are the cutest. You make my heart pound out of my chest whenever you smile, laugh, or even just stay as you are. You're my everything, if you're sad, I'm sad, if you're upset, I'm upset. So always remember you have me on your side, always. Don't frown anymore, ok?
Love, Takano ︎
As each and every letter in that note were imprinted in Ritsu's mind, he felt so happy he could die, call it cliché but he didn't care, all he could feel was happiness overflowing in him.
He loved reading these kinds of letters and this time, it was all directed towards him.
He somehow felt more and mire blessed and loved. He was so blessed to have such a sweet and caring friend-ah, correction, it's boyfriend-to-be!
'Ah, after all this time, Takano was right...'
He thought, as flashbacks of every single moment he shared with Masamune in which he acted kind and sweet to him, and some of those moments were when he felt a tinge of jealousy.
Takano then saw bits of tears appearing on his beloved's beautiful green orbs and he started to panic uncharacteristically.
"Are you alright-"
"Yeah, I'm fine...it's just that...this makes me so...so happy..", and then he began to sob, and muffled sounds were heard.
Seeing as no one was there, Takano held the brunet tightly in his arms, his nose tickled by the soft, brown locks he loved so much.
"I love you, so much.", he said, before more and more muffled sobs were heard from Ritsu.
Hmhm, it was funny, how Masamune planned the whole "daily basis of plans to make Ritsu confess" thing, he set it as a goal for the whole week, but as luck would have it, Ritsu might have already realized his own feelings.
He took a peek at the sleeping guy beside him and kissed his cheek softly.
The problem now was...how are things going to work out for them?
Would Ritsu take his hand, or would he refuse and lie to himself because he's afraid of getting hurt again? Even though he was unsure of it, he was absolutely sure enough that he would tell Ritsu over and over, as many times as necessary, that he would never hurt him again, and he would love him a lot more than now.
He smiled to himself as he got ready for tomorrow's events, he would definitely ask Ritsu out and he will make sure that he'll get a positive response.
