Our secret

Ritsu woke up with one arm wrapped around his waist. And the sensation felt very comfortable. He opened his emerald eyes and he saw a beautiful sleeping man with unepectedly long eyelashes next to him. It was Masamune, of course.

Ritsu´s POV

I can´t believe that I finally admitted my feelings. My parents won´t like it one bit, but I don´t care. It´s my damn life and the one shaping it the way I feel it should be. My heart is 100% set on my relationship with Taka - Masamune ( damn, it´s still hard to call him by his first name), but my rational part of mind is a bit doubtful. I mean, he´s my boss at work, I´m his subordinate. We were going out ten years ago and yesterday we resumed our relationship. We cleared up all the past misunderstandings - fortunately. I fell like a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Takano - I mean Masamune moved a little. He slowly opened his eyes and met my gaze. He gave me such a sweet smile, my doubts suddenly got away somehow. It´ll all work out. I have to believe.

I took his chin and tilted it upwards. My hands were shaking as I pressed my lips to meet his. Masamune´s eyes widened as I deepened the kiss. In the past, I would have never done this. But right now, my body moved on its own and I felt embarrassed. I looked at him and then my heart must have skipped at least four beats. Masamune was blushing like a ripe tomatoe.

Who´d ever think that the mighty and nasty editor in chief could make a face like this? Masamune pulled me in a tight embrace. He was holding me as if I was the most treasured person in his life. " Ritsu. Why are you doing this to me? I won´t be able to hold back all the time. " I kissed him suddenly and caught him off guard, again. When I separated my lips from his lips, a small trail od saliva was making its way down Masamune´s face. I licked it away. His eyes widened and he froze, staring at me. I looked at him, my heart beating crazy. " What if I don´t want you to hold back anymore? " I was acting very unlikely and let´s be honest - shamelessly. But I wanted him to know that I needed him - just as much as he needed me. Masamune kissed my fingers. " Ritsu, I love you." There he goes again making me all flushed and fluffy inside. " I l-lo-love you, too Takano, er ... Masamune."

Masamune glanced at the clock hanging from the wall on the opposite site. He got up, looking concerned. " Dammit! We are gonna be late for work! " I threw the blanket away and started to dress up. " It´s all because you had to have sex with me until I fainted from exhaustion." I said in a defensive tone. Masamune chuckled. He took my wrists and pinned me against the bed. " And I thought you liked every second of it. How I made you squirm, writhe in anticipation, caused you euphoric pleasure. Didn´t you like it at all? "

I looked away. He´s always so damn much pushy. I can´t even deny anything, because he sees right through me. " Let´s get going, Masamune. Or everyone at work will get suspicious." He let go of me. " Oh, don´t tell me you want to PRETEND nothing has happened? " I nodded. " Yes. I want to maintain our relationship at work as it was before - boss and subordinate relationship. " Masamune had a pained expression on his beautiful face. " I´m afraid I can´t do that. We are not doing anything bad. Kisa has a boyfriend and Hatori is going out with his author. Why must we hide it ?! " After his emotional outburst, he fell to his knees. I kneeled down, took his big hand and put it on my face. " Please, swear you won´t expose our relationship to anyone. " Masamune looked at me, hanging his head down in defeat. " Alright. I won´t expose it." I raised back up, holding his hand. " Great, let´s go. " Masamune sighed as I got ahead of him. " One of these days, he´s gonna be my death. " I smirked. " At least I´ll die happily."

23 minutes later...

Masamune´s POV

We arrived at our office pretty late. Ritsu was flustered all the way to his ears. He was adorable. Thanks to my promise, I can´t even fucking touch him at work. I tsked angrily as we got into elevator. Much to my annoyance, someone halted it. It was Yokozawa. " Good morning. "

" Good morning. " Me and Ritsu said in unison. Yokozawa´s stoic poker face almost made me laugh. I couldn´t take it anymore and laughed out loud. Both of them turned to me. Ritsu was surprised and Yokozawa being Yokozawa. " What is it, Takano? Something funny? " Ritsu asked me.

Takano.

I guess at work we go back to Takano and Onodera. " Yeah, this guy. With his trademark poker face makes me laugh. " Yokozawa hmphed. " And you with your lovey dovey eyes are acting as a idiot. " He turned to Ritsu. " Onodera. If you hurt him by any chance, I will not forgive you. " Ritsu looked his straight in eyes. " Don´t worry, Yokozawa -san. However, please refrain from similiar topic in the future. At work, me and Takano are no more than a boss and subordinate. "

He changed his gaze from me to Ritsu a few times. Yokozawa´s floor was next. " Well good luck to you both, you lovestruck idiots. " He waved as he walked out and the door shut up again. " You heard him. Let´s go, baka. " Ritsu blushed as we got out and went to our desks. Kisa greeted us as always. So did Hatori and Umino. Thank God they don´t suspect anything.

For now.

It´ll be hard for me to pretend that I don´t feel more for Ritsu than a mere friendship. My eyes focused on the papers on my desk. I´ll finish my work sooner and go back home sooner as well. And I´ll finally have some private time with Ritsu.

My fantasies kinda took over and I have grinned at the papers. Hatori interrupted me. " Hey, Takano. " I looked over at him. " What are you grinning about? It´s creeping me out. "

Everyone stared at me. I brushed my hair slightly. " Sorry. " They settled back to work after my awkward apology. I noticed Ritsu glaring at me and he wasn´t happy. Damn it. Have to get out here for a moment. I stood up and went to toilet. I knew that Ritsu was watching me.

Then, I saw something very unbelievable. It was Yokozawa and a man I often saw around him. They were...being too much intimate. I hid behind the wall. Yokozawa had his wrists pinned against the wall and he lost his poker face. " Oi, Kirishima! Stop this bullshit! What if someone sees us ?! " Said Kirishima leaned in and took Yokozawa´s face. " That´s the point. I want to see you embarrassed, like I did at home this morning. "

Hmmm. Interesting. He´s calling me a lovestruck idiot and he is one, too. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching the scene. Soon I saw a pair of emerald eyes. Ritsu. He saw me hiding and got closer to me. Ristu opened his mouth to ask me, but I put my hands on his mouth and made him hide with me. He stared at me, intrigued by my suspicious behavior.

Meanwhile, said Kirishima kissed Yokozawa abruptly. Ritsu´s eyes widened double their size when he saw them. I felt a strong urge to laugh, but I supressed it. I mean, we are hiding and watching Yokozawa with another man doing what we promised NOT to do at work. How can I not find it funny ? However, Ritsu was simply amazed and shocked. I guess he never thought he´ll see Yokozawa this... laid back and succumbing. I looked at Ritsu and he was getting redder by each passing second. We saw how that Kirishima got rid of Yokozawa´s tie and it fell to the floor. By now, Yokozawa was blushing. Yep, he was. I changed my mind and decided to tease Ritsu a little. Teasing won´t hurt anybody, will it?

I leaned in, my breath tickling his ear. " Ritsu, I want to kiss you." I whispered, so that only he heard me. His reaction was so earnest, that I kissed him roughly on his lips and sucked on them. He whimpered and tried to hold his voice down. I pulled his shirt up and caressed his stomach. He tensed in my touch and threw his head in desperation. I heard similiar sounds behind the wall we were hiding. They haven´t heard us yet? They must be immersed in themselves pretty much. And I was determined to make Ritsu forget about anything else. If only for a moment. He was so hot, so frigging hot... We fell to the floor and I unzipped my jeans. I guided his sweating hand towards my member. " Touch me. " He was stroking my lenght. Oh, God...

I moaned out loud and closed my eyes, savouring this moment. If only Ritsu was this bold more often.

" Oh my. What do we have here ? Do you see what I see, Asahina? "

CRAP. I know that voice. I turned and saw Isaka, together with his secretary Asahina. Ritsu was blushing like mad and quickly let go of my now throbbing member. Sexually stressed, I zipped up my jeans and glared at Isaka, very IRRITATED. " Isaka, you have the most fucking timing." Isaka grinned at us while Ritsu was fixing his clothes. " Yokozawa, Kirishima. Please don´t hide. We do know about you being there."

" See? They know about us, as well. " Kirishima said it nonchalantly. Yokozawa grunted, annoyed. They appeared before us. Trademark poker face returned and that Kirishima guy was smiling so much that it was creeping me out. Now I know what Hatori meant by that. " So, we were in the open, but they were in a blind spot. How did you know about them? "

Isaka´s secretary pointed at the ceiling. I saw a small camera. " It was installed yesterday. And a decent group of people saw you four doing ... physical activities. "

Ritsu blushed deep red and even Yokozawa had a feint blush adoring his cheeks. Kirishima wasn´t happy and I wasn´t too much happy about it, either. Ritsu lowered his head and I didn´t see his expression. " Will we be ... fired? "

Isaka leaned against the wall. " Then, they´ll have to fire me and Asahina, too. " Without warning, he slammed his secretary against the wall and attacked his lips furiously. He kissed Isaka back and reversed their positions. After a while, they pulled back. Wow. I never thought Isaka and his secretary were going out. They let go of each other and looked at us. " Are you trying to expose our relationship to the whole company, Isaka- san? " His secretary asked quietly. " Yeah. That way, we won´t have to hide and neither will they. " He nodded at us.

To tell the truth, I liked how this situation turned out. I won´t have to hide my love. " But, what if the president of company won´t approve of that? " Yokozawa was back to his usual stoic self.

" Oh, you didn´t hear? As of today, I´m taking over this company. I can´t fire myself and my secretary now, can I? And I definitely cannot fire Kirishima and you - san. Nor Takano or Onodera - san. "

" Why ? Why are you doing all this? "Ritsu asked him. Isaka gave us all thumbs up. " It´s not easy when everyone is always accusing us of riding on coat - tails, right? Guys like us need to stick together !" There was silence and then...

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA!" I laughed . Ritsu looked at me. " H- hey! "

Yokozawa and Kirishima walked over us. " Whatever. Let´s go back to work, Kirishima. " When they were leaving, Kirishima took his hand. " Hey, you idiot!"

" You heard the president, it´s okay. " Yokozawa muttered something under his breath. " What was that, Takafumi? " Kirishima asked him, adding sweetness to his voice. " Nothing, you big idiot. Let´s go." They walked away, holding hands.

I took Ritsu´s hand in mine. He blushed. " Hey, you moron! " I leaned in and grinned. " Is that how you talk to your lover? " Ritsu smacked me lightly on my head. " You are so cheesy sometimes!" And he took my hands,he had a neutral look n his face. " Let´s go back as well, Takano. " We left the president with his secretary alone.

This day turned out to be very interesting...

Isaka´s POV

When all four men left us alone, I teased Asahina. " Shall we go and find an unused room for ourselves or... would you prefer it here ? " He reacted as I expected. He smacked me. Hard. " We have work to do, president."

I pouted. " And after work? " Asahina grinned at me. He almost never did that. " You are a huge blockhead. " I grabbed his tie and kissed him. " Yeah, I am. That´s why you love me so much. " Asahina blushed bright red. I loved to make him lose his cool. Like now. He grabbed my willing hand and we walked off to my office room, ignoring other people.

AN - AAaahh! I did it! Man, that took like F-O-R-E-V-E-R !
