Chapter 3:
"Uh, Good evening Takano-san well ha ha ha I am just gonna go" stuttered Ritsu awkwardly not really sure if Takano had heard his discussion or not. "I never knew you were so direct about your feeling, why aren't you that way towards me" said Takano his eyes never leaving Ritsu for a second. "I don't have any feelings for you" said Ritsu while looking at the floor, afraid his eyes would betray him as they always did.
Ritsu was about to escape the awkward conversation when out of nowhere Saga(the puppy, if you haven't been paying attention) and Yuki came barreling out of the apartment. "I got you, ya rascal" said Yuki when he grabbed a hold of the soapy puppy. "Yuki what are you doing?" asked Ritsu confused why his puppy was covered in bubbles and Yuki looked like he took a swim in the ocean. "Sorry Ritsu but Saga got away from me while I was giving him a bath" said Yuki. At this Takano perked up finally tuning into the conversation.
"I don't even wanna know what kind of mess there is in my house, Come Saga" Ritsu said forgetting about Takano's presence as he and the pup wandered in the house. Yuki was left drenched in the hallway with a smirking Takano. "Yuki-san is that puppy yours?" asked Takano helping up the man. "What? No, Saga belongs to Ritsu" said Yuki cheerfully. "Saga?" said Takano with a raised eyebrow. "Yea, a bit funny huh? I didn't get why Ritsu would name his dog after his ex-lover but it suited the dog plus I know Ritsu doesn't like to talk about it" stated Yuki as he wrung out his shirt.
"You know about that" asked Takano a little taken aback. "Wait you do to?" asked Yuki a bit surprised. "Yes I do" said Takano hesitantly. Technically he was telling the truth just not the whole truth, he knew about it cause he was part of it but he saw no reason to bring that up. "I tell you that surprises me, Ritsu only ever told me and back then all I could be there for him I was in America so I couldn't help out when I'm so far away" said Yuki slowly only continuing when Takano nodded. "Ritsu was so devastated, and I felt like such an ass" said Yuki with a sour tone.
"Why is that?" asked Takano not sure were Yuki fit into this. "Because I am the one, who not only pointed out Ritsu's feelings but also the fact he was gay, had I kept my mouth shut he never would've experienced a heartbreak that still haunts him 10 years later" sighed Yuki looking wistfully at the floor. Takano on the other hand wanted to hug Yuki, he was the reason he got to meet Onodera so many years ago. "But what is done is done so no use wallowing about it but if I ever come across that bastard, I will rip him a new one" said Yuki darkly.
"What if he wanted to be with Ritsu again?" asked Takano shifting nervously realizing Yuki didn't know what happened like Ritsu thought at one point. "Are you kidding? I wouldn't let him anywhere near my cousin plus he had 10 years too many to make up with poor Ritsu as far as I'm concerned his time has run out" stated Yuki plainly unaware of Takano's shocked impression.
"Speaking of that I should get Ritsu back on the dating scene since he finally accepted he is gay" said Yuki excitedly. "He what?" said Takano more than a little shocked. "Yea, He told his parents this afternoon" said Yuki already plotting. "I can't believe he would do that" said Takano still shell-shocked. "Well believe it, I intend to exploit in every way I can" said Yuki deviously. Before the conversation could continue they were interrupted by Ritsu's appearance.
"Yuki are you coming in or not?" asked Ritsu gesturing to the open door behind him. "Sorry, see ya later Takano!" said Yuki as he headed inside. Before heading in Ritsu looked at Takano skeptically only looking away when he caught Takano's gaze. "What were you two talking about?" asked Ritsu well aware of how flushed he was. "Why? Are you curious?" asked Takano taking a step towards his lover. "So what if I am?" asked Ritsu confidently looking Takano in the eyes.
"So you're curious about me then?" asked Takano with a confident smirk as he closed the gap between them never breaking eye contact. "I never said that" muttered whispered Onodera as he tried to look away. "Ritsu look at me" Takano said breathily. Ritsu turned his head to face Takano only for his breath to hitch at the intense gaze Takano was giving him. Before either uttered a word they were immersed in a passionate kiss neither quite sure who started it but not caring all the same.
After such a long day Ritsu couldn't be bothered to keep up his resistance he had waited way to long and the tension between had finally got to him. Just for once he would let himself go, he would get lost in the moment without overthinking it. So far he was enjoying getting swept away and to put it simply he and Takano were playing a very enjoyable game of tongue hockey if you catch my drift. However it was cut short when someone cleared their throat only a foot or two a way this snapped Ritsu out of his daze as he gently pushed Takano off of him.
They both turned to see Yuki who had a huge grin on as he stood in Ritsu's doorway. "I originally came to tell you dinner's ready but if I knew you were busy I wouldn't have interrupted" he said cheekily. "Then why did you" said Takano which earned a smack in the arm from Ritsu. "It's okay Yuki I was just coming in anyways" said Ritsu awkwardly as he shifted slightly. Yuki smirked well aware of Ritsu's shyness, "Takano won't you join us?" he asked innocently. "Sure why not" said Takano a smug look on his face as he passed a blushing Ritsu as he entered his lover's apartment followed by Yuki. Ritsu groaned as he closed the door behind him as he thought to himself he thought 'It's going to be a long night'.
