My sister gave me the first part of this idea! I'd like to thank her, so thanks Fairlygirl34, because even though you're right next to me as I write this-I wont say it to your face because it's too much effort… XD Anyways….Happy Valentines day! Also, the song in here is Teenage dream (remix/cover) it's by a guy. I found it on an amv for these two. If you wanna see that amv, just look up "Takano and Ritsu Teenage dream" It should pop up. (It has a pink background!) I had to change the beginning of the lyrics though cuz it would be awkward if Takano said something about makeup. Anyways, hope you like it!
Perfect Valentines day
The work day was finally coming to an end, and the beautiful day off tomorrow was a plus. Ritsu had it all planned out. Everything had to be perfect. He and Takano had been official for a year now, and Ritsu was determined to give Takano the best day ever. Ritsu requested to leave early, and thank god, he was allowed that privilege by none other than his lover. Today was only Valentine's day, in which he had been planning for a week now.
Ritsu packed his things, and waved goodbye to the other editors. "See you guys. Good work today." Hatori gave a nod, Kisa waved away to his heart's content, and Mino-well-was being Mino. Ritsu took a small peek at the demon-editor-and-chief, and tried not to give himself away. Things HAD to be perfect, after all…it was the least he could do for rejecting his lover time after time-not to mention that roundhouse kick in the face when they were kids…..Any who…Ritsu had it all planned, and as long as he followed the plan, things should go smoothly.
After arriving home, Ritsu quickly searched the internet for a decent recipe to cook. After looking through probably hundreds of them, he decided on a simple recipe-Flank steak and cucumber salad.
"What could go wrong?" Ritsu mumbled to himself, beginning his task at hand. "I promise to make the best meal for him!"
THREE HOURS LATER:
Ritsu sat on his living room floor in tears. Huddling his knees to his chest, and burying his face behind them, he sobbed lightly.
"I can't do it. I keep messing up. How am I supposed to have it perfect by the time he comes home?" He cried to himself pitting the thought of his failure. The meal wasn't a complete disaster, but the steak was a little TOO well done…..and the outside seemed to burn all too quickly. Ritsu stood, and looked at the plate for the hundredth time in a row. Takano would be home any minute now-which meant he'd see it….
And just like that, the front door opened by a raven-haired man. "Ritsu, I'm home. Why does it smell like you burned something?" Takano headed to the sitting area, and let out a long yawn. Ritsu panicked, and rushed out of the kitchen.
"Oh Masamune. You're back. Hahahahahhaha….ha…, ha…." Ritsu stood sheepishly, and bit his lip in distress. Nothing was working out for him right now.
"Ritsu, why does it smell like burned popcorn. I could smell it down the hall." Takano sniffed the air, and shrugged to himself. He held out his arms to his beloved, waiting for his embrace. Ritsu blushed at the action, but allowed himself to be swept away into his arms.
"I-I…Masamune…?" Ritsu stuttered lightly, burying his face into Takano's chest.
"Hmm?"
"I…i…um…uh…h-have som-something for you!" Ritsu pulled away in a hurry, his face burning from nerves. Takano lifted an eyebrow, and took off his jacket.
"Okay. What is it?" Takano waited for an answer, but received none. "Ritsu?"
Ritsu shuffled his way to the kitchen, bringing back a plate of partially burned steak over a cucumber salad. Takano's eyes widened, and Ritsu set the plate on the table. His lips made a thin line, and spoke sadly,
"S-Sorry….I'm sorry. I….i..tried my best….You don't have to eat it. I don't mind if you throw it away." Ritsu's voice trailed off, and he held his forearm close to his body. Ritsu didn't look up from the floor, and tried to make his way to the bedroom sulking. Takano pulled his arm, which caused Ritsu to fall down next to his partner. He placed a gently kiss upon Ritsu's forehead,
"Ritsu, I'm so happy. Really, I didn't expect this. And that's also what makes me happy." Ritsu looked up from the ground, eyes desperate for acceptance.
"Y-You mean that?" Ritsu held his hands to his chest, trying to fight the pounding in his heart. Takano let out a smile, loving how easy and simple it was to please Ritsu. He wasn't stupid-no. He was very smart, hardworking, and independent. But if there was one thing that both Onodera Ritsu and Oda Ritsu shared, was the fact that they were both so easy to please. Maybe it seemed that Ritsu and Oda were two different people, but in a matter-of-factly, they were still the same. The same smile, same laugh, same stubbornness, and same core.
"Yes. I do. Now let's eat. I'm starving."
The two of them ate the dinner, and talked about several different things. Whether it be work-related, or just small talk, there was no awkwardness in the air.
"That was delicious, But now, I have something for you." Takano pulled out a velvet bag from his briefcase, and held it out to Ritsu.
"Wh-what is it?" Ritsu looked over it carefully, and noticed nothing but papers inside. Takano chuckled, and put it in Ritsu's small hands.
"You're gift." Takano saw the look of what-the-actual-fuck written all over his lover's face. Ritsu laughed. Not a happy laugh. Nor a OMG I LOVE IT laugh. Just a wow-really laugh. Takano expected this, but the present would be very fun...
Ritsu opened the bag, which was full of small pieces of papers. Before reaching his hand inside, Takano took the bag again.
"It's a little game. You don't get your real gift until the end." Takano closed the bag, shaking it so that the papers would mix around inside.
"How do we play?" Ritsu focused on the bag, half eager to play, half wanting to throw it across the room. Takano took notice, and stopped swirling the bag around.
"We'll take turns pulling out a piece of paper. And whatever that paper says to do, we have to do it to the other player." Takano smirked, for this was truly intriguing. He wanted to skip the damn game, but knowing Ritsu, he'd have a fit.
Ritsu's eye twitched, managing a forced smile through his teeth. "You pervert. Every chance you get.." Takano laughed a little, and pecked Ritsu's cheek,
"It's not all dirty, geez. You think I'm some kind of pervert to forces you into the bedroom and shower just to have sex?" Takano, in all seriousness, awaited an answer. Ritsu stared blankly, for Takano answered his own question indirectly. "Ouch. I'm offended…"
"Yea, whatever. So let's play then since I want my gift." Ritsu pulled out a paper from the velvet bag, and read it in his head. Takano waited eagerly for the action-for Ritsu's face turned bright pink.
"Well? Are you gonna do it or not!?" Takano spoke irritably, and crossed his arms. Ritsu crumbled the paper, shoving it into his pocket. He sighed deeply and scooted closer to Takano.
Takano watched Ritsu scoot closer in a bundle of nerves. Ritsu sighed again, and put his hands on Takano's cheeks lightly. Leaning in, he gave a gentle kiss.
Takano smiled inside, and tried to keep his cool. But inside, he felt all giddy and fluffy. Of course, he'd never say it aloud…..
Ritsu sat quietly, but blushed immensely. Takano pulled out his piece of paper, and read it aloud.
"it says, 'seduce your partner.'" Takano smirked, this was quicker and easier than he though it would be. Ritsu immediately snatched the paper reading it over.
"It doesn't say that! It says give a peck on the cheek!" Ritsu looked up from the paper, ready to continue his shouting, but was cut off by Takano's lips on his cheek.
"I know it does. I was only joking. But we can skip to that part if you'd like." Takano winked, and lick his lips for seduction. Ritsu took the bag away from his partner, pulling out another paper. (Completely rejecting the idea Takano suggested.)
"Nibble at your partner's lip….." Ritsu's voice trailed off, leaving Takano to yet another smirk.
"Well, go on then. Get to it." Takano pulled Ritsu close, picking him up and setting him on his lap. Ritsu turned red again, and shyly made his way to Takano's lips. Instead of allowing Ritsu to perform his task, Takano kissed him passionately, tightly wrapping his arms around his lover's petite body. Though it wasn't what was supposed to happen, Ritsu complied without complaint.
Takano slipped his tongue into the brunette's mouth, hardly taking any breaths of air in between. Ritsu held onto the older man's shirt, allowing the fabric to sink between his fingers.
"Masamune…masamu-ah!" Ritsu panted as Takano bit eagerly into his neck, sucking and licking all over the brunette's collar bone. "masamune…st-top. This isn't part of the game." Ritsu found himself half-heartedly rejecting his lover's desires, though he was completely aroused. Takano kissed his cheek, then his eyes, his nose , and slowly but surely made his way to Ritsu's soft, raw lips.
"I know, so I'll give you you're present now, because I can't wait." Ritsu, not really knowing what he meant, assumed he meant the bedroom. But Takano stood, and helped Ritsu up from the ground. "Put your shoes and jacket on."
"Wh-where are we going?"
"To your present."
Ritsu was surprised when Takano drove them to the Tieto Hotel. Kisa did say something about the Company having a party here, with authors and all. though that didn't explain why they were there.
"Masamune, why are we here?" Ritsu asked, buttoning up his jacket. Takano pointed to the hotel,
"That's where your present is."
They went inside to where the party was being held, and were greeted by many people- Authors, and some of their co-workers. Ritsu looked around the crowd, confused on how his present could be here, at work…of all places….
Takano took his hand, dragging him to a seat near a piano. Kisa, Mino, Hatori and many others stood around for the event they had been waiting for. This was it. Ritsu looked around, suddenly feeling clostaphobic between the crowd surrounding them.
"um…Takano-san…..what are we doing?" Takano said nothing, only sat in front of the piano.
"Ritsu," He spoke loud enough for the crowd to hear, "You have stolen my heart. So I've taken time and effort to learn to do something I've always wanted to do for you." He looked at the crowd filled with different men and women awaiting the event. "I want to play you a song."
Ritsu's eyes widened, and he blushed from the comment. Almost immediately, Takano began to play and sing.
I think you're pretty,
With or without your flaws,
I think you're funny, when you tell the punch line wrong.
I knew you got me, when you let your walls come down, down.
Before you met me, I was alright but things were kind of heavy,
You brought me to life, now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine.
Let's just talk, all through the night, there's no need
To rush
We can dance, until we die, you and I,
Will be young forever
You make me feel like im living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep. Lets run away and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe this is real
So take a chance and don't ever look back, don't ever look back
When you're around me, life's like a movie scene,
I wasn't happy, until you became my queen
I finally found you,
My missing puzzle piece, im complete.
Let's just talk all through the night
There's no need to rush, we can dance, until we die you and I will be young forever.
You make me feel like im living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I cant sleep, let's run away and don't ever look back don't ever look back
And my heart stops, when you look at me, just one touch,
Now baby I believe, this is real. So take a chance and don't ever look back, don't ever look back.
I will get your heart racing if that's what you need, in this teenage dream tonight.
Let you rest your head on me if that's what you need in this teenage dream tonight, tonight, tonight…
Ritsu felt tears crawling out of the sides of his eyes. Takano stood from the piano, and kneeled on one knee in front of him. Ritsu's heart pounded, as Takano pulled out a tiny blue box from his pocket. He opened it, revealing a gold ring, with one emerald diamond in the middle.
"Ritsu," Takano spoke softly, but loud enough for everyone around to hear. "You entered my world when it was only darkness. But you disappeared in the flash of lightning. After that, I never thought I'd see you again. But then, Fate gave me a second chance to make it up to you, and I want to take that chance to make you mine for good. I know I messed up when we were kids, but I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you. So please, take a chance, and I promise, you won't regret it. I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I guess what im trying to say it…Ritsu Onodera, will you marry me?"
Takano watched Ritsu's face light up, and everyone clapped when Ritsu jumped onto Takano. He wrapped his arms around Takano's neck, and kissed him several times.
"Yes! A thousand times yes!" Ritsu cried happy tears, and Takano didn't bother to wipe them. He could only hold the one thing dear to him in his arms, in front of everyone, and kiss him like he had never kissed him in his life.
"Do you want to go home and finish our game?" Takano whispered into his lover's ear, letting Ritsu's hair nuzzle through his fingers. Ritsu blushed, and nodded.
Just this once….He thought to himself…Just this once, I'll allow myself to be swept away in front of everyone….Takano picked him up bridal style, and headed to the exit.
Maybe…just maybe…..a treacherous slope isn't as bad as I thought it would be….
