Sekai Romantica

Hell All Over Again

Onoderas POV

The next day, I walked into Marukawa Publishing, and I saw Usami and Takano kissing. Whats more, Takano was not struggling. Nope. He was closing his eyes with his arms around Usami's neck. Fuck. How many times does he have to do this to me?! Then I saw a ruler on Takanos desk. The ruler. The one that he always throws at me. I smirked because I just had a genius idea. I picked up the ruler, and putting all of my anger into my throw, I threw the ruler at them. They looked up at me in shock. Then, I screamed, "GET BACK TO WORK!!" Realizing how ironic this is, I started laughing, and eventually I started crying from laughing so hard. Then I wiped my tears and looked up at everyone. I walked over to my seat, and practically fell on it. Then, I said, "haha, that was hilarious. Why didn't I think of it before?" I clearly knew that I was laughing because I was trying to cover up my sadness. I know that everyone knows it because they were looking at me with sympathy. I just looked at them, and started laughing even more. I heard somebody say, "Onodera, are you okay?" But, I just laughed even harder.  When I finally calmed down, my throat was dry. So, I got up and announced that I am going to get a drink. I started to walk out, when I felt a hand on me. I knew that it was Takanos, even before he said my name.  "Onodera..." He said calmly.

"What?" I said, a little bit too harsh.  "Can I not get a drink of water?" Then he lifted his hand. "No,... its ok,... but..."

"But, what?!" I snapped back at him. He looked hurt, but then I turned away from him, and walked away from him. I felt a little guilty, but I will just deal with him later. Right now, I am thirsty.

Takanos POV

When I walked into Marukawa Publishing,  my mouth immediately got covered by a hand.  I knew exactly who it was. I turned around and yep. I saw him. Akihiko Usami.  "Hey, baby.~" said Usami, seductively. I tensed up immediately. 

"Come with me~" said Usami. Its not like I had a choice because he was already dragging me. Crap, I am scared. I already have fragile trust with Ritsu as it is. Usami has been doing stuff like this for the past 2 days. Even though Usami was just talking to me yesterday, Ritsu still got extremely jealous. Any other time, I would love the fact that he was jealous.  But... this time it is different. Anyways, once we were in a place where nobody can see us, I decided to ask Usami a little question.

"Just how long are you going to keep this up?"

"Do you want Onodera to confess?" Of course, I do, but that doesn't answer my question. He is just avoiding my question, isn't he?

"Yes, but..." I began, but then he interrupted me.

"So I will do stuff to you until he confesses."

"Just one problem. What if he doesn't confess?" I was scared to hear the answer.

"If he doesn't confess, then you are mine. Forever." He took a step towards me. "And I bet I know how to get him confess sooner than later. .." he continued, putting his hand on the side of my face.

I cleared my throat. "H-how??"

He leaned towards my ear. "By pretending you enjoy it." He whispered. I winced when he said that. Then I thought about it. NO! NO. No.  I cannot do that to him. But..

Apparently when I was deep in thought,  he brought me back to the editorial department.

"How about we practice?" Said Usami, already leaning in for a kiss. I guess I can try. I just imagined his lips as Ritsu's lips.  It worked. We were just standing there for a few minutes, just kissing, when I felt something hard hit my head. Then I broke out of my trance, realizing that Usami was indeed not Ritsu, and the person who through the hard thing (a ruler, I found out) was the real Ritsu. I was shocked to see him there. When I looked up at him, I thought he was going to cry, but he screamed at me to get back to work. Then,  he simply walked back to his seat, and started laughing. Eventually laughing so hard, he started to cry. Or maybe they were his tears showing his true feelings. Then he said, "haha, that was hilarious.  Why didn't I think of it before?"

He then continued on laughing. I knew that he was simply just swallowing his sadness. I was concerned for him. I heard somebody say, "Onodera, are you okay?"

But he just laughed even harder. When he finally calmed down, he said that he was going to get water. I knew that that was just an excuse to go crying on his own so I stopped him, and said his name calmly. "Onodera..." He just shrugged me off.

Then he said a little too harshly,  "What? Can I not get a drink of water?" I got the point. He didn't want me to talk to him. "No... it's ok."

I really need to talk to him,  so I began with "But-" Then, he rudely cut me off, and responded with "But what?!" When he said that, it hurt my feelings. I guess he truely doesn't trust me anymore. I love him. So I let him go. I let him go away from me.
