Sekai Romantica: After Story

Masamune x Ritsu story Pt. 2

Onoderas POV
After me and Takano stopped kissing, I looked at my coworkers confused.
The entire department was looking at us with puppy dog eyes.
"What?" I said.

"Awwwww." Said the entire department.

"Anyways, where was I at in the story?" I asked, confused. This made the entire department laugh. Takano squeezed me. I cant breathe.

"I-I can't breathe." I told him. He immediately let go of me. I started coughing.

"You were at the part where you just confessed." Said Yokozawa.

"Thanks. Anyways, so we started dating. And then later on, we broke up do to a misunderstanding."

"And it was all Onoderas fault." Said Takano. He was still directly next to me.

"That's not-" I was going to defend myself, saying that it was actually his fault, but then I remembered that it was indeed my fault.

"I guess. But you are still the one who laughed." I said, folding my arms.

"The laugh that you misunderstood." Said Takano, leaning his arms on my shoulder.

"Anyways, so ten years later, I met him here." I said, feeling heat rise to my cheeks.

"So, then you got back together right away?" Asked Mino.

"Noo... not exactly..." I said, hesitating.

"Yeah. Because he is too slow to own up to his fate." Said Yokozawa.

"In my defense...!!" I began, pushing Takano off my shoulder. All eyes were on me.
"I didn't want to believe that he could so easily knock down the walls that I spent 10 years working on." I stomped my foot down. I squeezed my eyes shut, and brought my shoulders up.

"But I did knock that wall down." Said Takano, putting his hand on my shoulder. I simply just nodded.

"If you don't me asking, when did you realize you still loved Masamune? I'm sure Masamune wants to know, too." Asked Yokozawa. That made Takano perk up.

"I-I don't know... but if I had to pinpoint it, it would have to be the day when Takano bandaged me up. The exact moment is when I got on the phone with Ms. Mutou, and I quickly wrote a note to Takano saying to hurry up and get out. Takano gave me one last kiss before he left, and that kiss, my friends, knocked down the last remaining pieces of my wall." I was face to face with Takano by the end.

"That long ago?? And yet, you still wouldn't admit it." Said Takano.

"Well, I wanted to make sure I really wanted this to happen." I replied.

"You didn't say anything to me, even when you realized how you felt? Even when I asked you out before? Even when you told it to your ex fiancee before you told me? Even when Haitini confessed to you?" Asked Takano.

"WILL YOU STOP INTERROGATING ME?!" I said, pushing Takano away.

"Geez. Like I said before, I didn't know what I truely wanted. So, yes, yes, and yes. For your information, she is not my fiancee anymore so you can forget about her. And when you asked me out, you did not give enough time to process what you just said. All you did was answer for me, which pissed me off, so I rejected it. And, YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT? WHEN HAITINI CONFESSED TO ME, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOU BEFORE YOU CRAWLED IN." I said. I looked up at Takano. He was shocked.

".. then why didn't you tell me sooner? You knew that I have been waiting for forever." Asked Takano, softly. I sighed.

"At least I said it." I said, crossing my arms.
"And frankly, I probably wouldn't of even done that if it weren't for Yokozawa and Usami." I said. I felt eyes from the whole department piercing into me, obviously wanting to explain.

"Well, the whole Usami situation made me realize just how much I truely love him. And Yokozawa was the one who stopped me into beating myself up inside. I probably would have continued to stay and watch, feeling my heart getting ripped out of my chest. And luckily I ran into him before I ran into them.... *clear throat*.... um, well, doing it." I looked away from Takano. "I am thankful to him because he pushed Takano off, when I was frozen in place from the shock." I started to cry because the memory is coming back to me. Takano wrapped his hands around me, waiting for my tears to stop. I finally stopped after a few minutes. Yokozawa placed his hands on my back, rubbing it.

"Don't worry. I felt equally as horrified. After all, I...." Realizing what he was about to say, Yokozawa turned around and blushed, back facing us.

"At least you have a lover yourself now." I said, putting my hands on his back. He whipped around looking absolutely horrified.

"You-" he said, hands reaching to grab me. Just then, Kirishima walked in.

"Hey, Yokozawa. I heard you were down here, so I came to see you." Said Kirishima. Yokozawa blushed.

"Wow. I haven't seen you blush like that ever. Not at all. Even though you loved me for all this time." Said Takano. Mine, Yokozawas, and Kirishimas eyes looked at Takano.

"What?! It's true?" Said Takano, raising his arms defensively.

"What?! Yokozawa, you liked Takano, too?" Said Kisa.

"Here we go...." I said, rolling my eyes.
