TakanoxRitsu

"Ritsu, come live with me."Takano Masamune asks the green-eyed man across from him, Onodera Ritsu his first love.

'What are you saying Takano-san? We've only been dating for 3 months' Ritsu says picking up his wine looking flustered at the sudden proposal from his boss/boyfriend and first love.

"It's not like we've known each other for only 3 months, Ritsu." It's one of those times that Takano-san uses his first name meaning he was serious at his proposal.

'He has a point.' Onodera poured another wine and took it in one gulp 'ugggh, but I just can't say yes!' He looks at the Man across from him, He really love the man, it took him a year to finally admit it to himself and months to finally confessed

"But Takano-san, we're neighbours I don't think it will make a difference after all we practically sleep over in each other's apartment." He stated

"The very reason we should live together right? To save money, time, and besides you'll benefit from it. You'll have no problem about the food, I'll cook. I can wash our clothes; you'll have no problem cleaning since it'll be clean, all the time." At this Onodera Ritsu stared wide eyed at his boyfriend. 'He did have a point and his right'

Takano Masamune smirked inwardly. 'I can win this one' thought while he took a sip at his wine looking intently at his flustered boyfriend.

"uhm." He couldn't think of an excuse to counter Takano's so called advantages 'cause his right and the thought is really tempting.

"Tempting isn't it?" he look at his boyfriend's smirking face, knowing full well that he's losing this battle, Onodera Ritsu just wouldn't admit defeat easily. Oh no. He wouldn't.

"Then who's apartment?" He asks

Takano leaned forward as close as he could from across the table smiling widely now.

"In my apartment." He stated as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"Why?!" Onodera Ritsu glared at him

"I'm a man" Takano says

"But I'm also a man!" Ritsu says 'that's it I can use this' he smiled inwardly.

"I can see that" Takano flashes a smile at him, his beating heart wouldn't just calm down at the sight.

"I have no problems moving in your apartment if that is the issue, Ritsu." Takano stated a matter of fact.

"After all, I'll do anything to be with my beloved Ritsu." He added.

Ritsu looks at him, he can see the love Takano has for him, and the feeling always overwhelmed him but it is a great feeling. He wouldn't deny it, but why is he making a fuss about this 'living together' issue but maybe this is for the better right? Living together. He looks away thinking deeply.

Takano looks at his lover, He can wait if Ritsu really doesn't want to live together yet, but if he could persuade him now, the better, just when he was about to tell him that he could wait. His lover looks at him all serious and determined, he drank his remaining wine

"But what about my furniture? Or your Furniture? It not like I could just move in with just my clothes, what will happen then?" Ritsu says

He sputters his drink, 'At least his giving much thought into it. But really? Furniture?'

"What the hell Takano-san, that's gross. But are you alright?" Onodera ask ready to stand up and pat his back. He raises his hand to stop him.

"Then we could just move out of the apartment and buy a house, right?" He says smiling to his lover

"Easier said than done, With our schedule there's no way we could have a time to look for one." Ritsu says going back to his seat crossing his arms and looking away from him.

'He's cute' He thought.

'We have no problem regarding the address, since our co-workers knew about our relationship, much to Ritsu's dismay, but it really makes things easier. Good thing Isaka-san is approving it as long as we do our work and keep our personal lives out of the office. All is Good.' Takano thought.

"So?" Ritsu asks.

"We could look for it this coming weekend right?" At this Ritsu really glared at him holding the knife ready to throw it at him any minute.

"I haven't approved of it yet. I'm still thinking you know." Ritsu says

"Hmmm, then at least think about it okay?" He says calming his lover's nerves. "We can look this weekend since it's the end of the cycle and our workload isn't much to heavy this week."

"Okay. But I have to tell this to my parents."

"Okay." With one long swig of his wine he stood up.

"So? Shall we head home?"

The drive to their apartment was a silent one maybe because they were both tired and Ritsu dozes off every now and then.

"Hey, Ritsu we're here." Takano gently shakes him but he shrug it off saying about 'leave me here for a while I'll be right behind you'.

"If you don't get up now I'll carry you all the way to my apartment, Ritsu" This made the Brunette sit up rather quickly making him dizzy.

"Be careful." They walk off towards the elevator and made their way to the apartment.

Ritsu Onodera had a problem.

He cannot sleep.

"Is this what I get for always sleeping with Takano that I can't sleep alone now?" Ritsu rolled around his bed not that the bed has much space in it left. He glanced at his clock, '1 am' he thought burying his face in his pillow when his phone vibrates, he flip it open. One message from takano-san, it says 'can't sleep?' shocked at the message he received he sits up and look around his bedroom. 'how the hell did he know?' he asks still looking around his room. Then his phone vibrates again and he checks it.

'Me too, you wanna come over? I miss you' it says. He smile, his cheeks reddening quickly. He got up and makes his way towards his lover's apartment.

He's at the entrance waiting for Takano to open the door, as each moment pass his getting more flustered.

'Why the hell am I embarrass? It's my lo…lover for fuck sake.' He blushes at the thought.

'What am I blushing for? Am I a girl?' he looked down.

'Damn why is he taking so long?' as he grew impatient planning to ring the doorbell again the door opened revealing his lover.

He went it and headed straight to bed with Takano right behind him.

As they lay down, Takano slid one arm around Ritsu's waist the other in his head.

"I'm excited for this weekend" Takano muttered, kissing his head

"mmm.." he muttered facing Takano snuggling closer to the older man kissing his chin and with that they drifted off to sleep.

Emerald division

"What's wrong with it Takano-san? I've been revising this proposal for about three hours now" Onodera Ritsu asks his superior heatedly, they've been exchanging nothing but spiteful words in the 2 hours since they went to work and he submitted his proposal for motou-sensei's new book.

"Why would I tell you, that's your job." Takano Masamune stated looking at the very pissed off Ritsu.

'This is going nowhere' the brunette sigh and walk away, leaving his boss.

"I'm going to take a break" Ritsu announced and headed out of the office

Heading for the lounge, he bought himself a coffee from the vending machine and makes his way to the couch making himself comfortable. 'uugh my stomach hurts' he thought to himself clutching his sides. 'Damn, the stress, I'm gonna develop an ulcer at this rate.'

"Are you okay?" He heard him, not intending to look at him he shuts his eyes and pretended he's asleep.

"Onodera." His boss called out to him his breath fanned to his face, how did he manage to get to close is a mystery to Ritsu

"I'm fine, just a little tired" He muttered still not looking to his lover/boss

"You can go home after you finish your work" and with that his boss left him alone in the lounge.

After 30 minutes or so, He makes his way to the Emerald Division office and to his desk lay in his written proposal a letter made by his boss; it was a series of questions that needs to be address in the proposal.

He looks towards his boss's direction and says "Thank you, Takano-san" he smiled and continue to revise his proposal.

Weekend

Ring…. Ring…

Onodera Ritsu still half asleep grab his alarm clock from his bedside table, upon glancing at it he saw it was still 6:00 am. 'I still have time to sleep.' In hopes of getting back to sleep, he noticed the ringing of his doorbell.

'uhh.. so fuckin' annoying, it's still early.' He get up and made his way towards his door, he got a pretty good idea who it was on the other side of the door.

Upon opening his door just barely enough to see who it was he mumbled "What do you want?"

"For you to move your ass and get ready, Now! Stat." Takano Masamune said

"wai… wait!" Ritsu said following Takano into his living room.

"What? You want me to help you get ready" Takano said facing Ritsu with a smirk on his face.

"no… No thank you!" He said looking flustered, he made his way towards his bedroom slamming the door behind him.

A few hours later

"Well?" The realtor asks, the house was simple and yet very much liked by the two men. The house is a two storey house, neither big nor small for the two of them, just enough. White walls and arch type entrances. Dining room and kitchen on the left, Living room and what appears to be a bathroom with it. It also has a bathroom on second floor and two bedrooms. There is also a yard and a garage. And the catch, the price is okay.

"Well? Ritsu?" Takano looks at his lover who's clearly debating on himself whether to agree with him or not. He can also see that his cute lover very much likes this place already.

Onodera Ritsu is very much pressured and torn with two options. It's either he agrees or not.

'I like this place, I love Takano-san.' At this he could feel himself blushing. 'I want to live with him for as long as I live.' He looked up to the said man, noticing the hope and the love in his eyes.

"I love it." He said, just when he utter those words he saw full blown smile in the face of his first love and he couldn't help but be happy and smile too.

"We'll take it" Takano said to the realtor.

"Okay, please follow me." The realtor told Takano and they headed of towards the kitchen counter. Ritsu just stood at the entrance and admired the place.

'Living together with Takano-san, huh' he can't suppress the happy feeling he got now, he's so looking forward to it that he could swear he can dance right now if Takano-san or anyone else are around.

After Dinner is done in Takano's place, Ritsu volunteered to wash the dishes, while busying himself with the task, a strong pair of arms were suddenly encircling his waist making him lean to a strong chest.

"Takano-san, I'm still washing the dishes."

"I know" Takano said while burying his face at the crook of his lover's neck.

"Thank you for accepting the living arrangement. I'm really happy about that. I love you. Ritsu" He said, he kissed him on the cheek and let go making his way towards the living room.

Leaving a very red Ritsu rooted in his place.
