Fighting For Us (Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi)

Prologue -Ritsu & Masamune 🖤

3rd Person (P.O.V)

Ritsu Onodera looked at his reflection in the mirror, his green eyes were red from crying as it had been a few hours since he arrived home after running away from his lover Masamune Saga. His mind was a chaotic mess of emotions as he continues to ignore his lover constant phone calls and messages.

He contemplated accepting his mother's proposal of him going to study in England, like she has been bothering him the last year but he stopped himself when he arrived home. Even what happened tonight he knew he needed to think with a clear mind before making any rash decision.

He couldn't run away as it wasn't only about him or Masamune but about the baby growing within him. He honestly didn't know what to do at the moment as it had only been a few days he had gone to a doctor alone to be told although he was physically a boy he had the internal organs of a girl.

His world had been turned upside down when the doctor spoke how his parents must've known as all babies are required to have genetic testing. As cases like his were rare but not uncommon. Ritsu figured if his parents knew that's why they were so strict with him and also had set up an arrange marriage with An-chan.

Ritsu was afraid he was only 15 years old and didn't know if he would be able to do it on his own. He needed his boyfriend but with his fear as well as the new medication he was currently on for his pregnancy his hormones were out of whack. In his mind, he was making plans as he knew his parents wouldn't receive his news well, and he feared what they would make him do.

In just a few days, he has grown attached to their child. It was conceived from the love he had for Masamune. When he is around his lover, his brain doesn't function the way it should. he can barely form a sentence without stuttering. His face goes completely red, and he could barely make eye contact.

He had planned on telling Masamune about his pregnancy, but was scared as he knows his lover has always had problems with his own family and he probably never thought he would want one. Just needed time to sort his thoughts and decide what he wanted to do but one thing he knew what he was going to keep their child.

Even if he had to raise their child on his own he would, he was now glad he was blessed into a wealthy family at a young age he always saves whatever money he had gotten and he would need it if he had to run. He grabbed his phone resisting the urge to call Masamune but he still wasn't clearheaded, so he walked out of the bathroom and into his huge bedroom to his desk.

Ritsu sighed as he took a seat, he put his shaking hand on his stomach smiling slightly even if everything didn't work out, he would still have a piece of his lover to love. A part of him knew he acted irrationally not allowing Masamune more than a couple of seconds to answer his question, but it hurt him deeply to see him laughing even if it was slightly.

He honestly never imagined he would get the chance to be with a boy he has loved since he was 12 years old. In Japan same-sex couples are looked down upon and aren't treated right, it would be even worse for him who is just a teenager and pregnant. He sat with his journal open as he ran different plans through his mind, he knew there would be no other way but to leave his family, because although he loves his mother she wouldn't tolerate him having a child or being with Masamune even if there was a slightest hope that his lover would want to continue to be with him.

Ritsu was only nine weeks along as that was the exact time he had lost his virginity to Masamune. He felt himself getting a bit warm, he knew his face was probably red at that point anytime he thought of that day where they gave themselves to each other.

Ritsu decided to call it a tonight and got into bed to sleep for a few hours as he would be waking up early to ensure he would catch the first train of the morning as he needed to see Masamune and find out where they stood depending on his answer would determine the course of their life.

Masamune Saga sat in his room with an ice pack over his head as he looked at his phone. He had been texting and calling his lover ever since he roundhouse kicked him over the head and ran out of his house. He was beyond confused as to what had happened with his Ritsu.

They had made love that night, and for his lover to ask him a silly question, and he hadn't been able to answer before his head became dizzy and unable to reach his boyfriend as he ran away. He's so badly wanted to fix what had happened between them but as he didn't know where Ritsu live he was unable to go to him, and he knew he would have to wait until he saw him at school.

He sighted dejectedly as he tossed his phone next to him. He laid against the wall, his head still pounding. The house was completely quiet as he was home alone with his cat Sorata for company as his lover was supposed to have stood over.

Masamune was a guy of few words he preferred to be alone all of his life. He was a loner surrounded in darkness. Ritsu Oda was the boy who watched him from afar, even with his attitude he wasn't scared away and slowly made his way into his heart becoming the light of his life. He might be only 17 years old but what he had with Ritsu he hopes to have forever he couldn't imagine life without him.

He sighed as Sorata made his way into his room and jumped on top of the bed. Grabbing his phone Masamune got up from his bed as he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight with the headache he had he decided to go downstairs to refill his ice pack.

Masamune jumped when his cell phone rang in his hand as he had just entered his kitchen. Looking down at his phone, his heart pounding in his chest, as Ritsu's name appeared on the screen. Which caused him to get a bit anxious as his lover normally wouldn't call him. Taking a deep breath he accepted the call his heart beating rapidly.

"Ritsu, what happened?? are you alright??". Masamune asked worriedly despite his headache and still wanting to strangle his lover a bit. He was still worried for him.

"I-I'm f-f-ine sen-npai....". Ritsu stuttered out before straighten his spine, he need to be strong for himself and their unborn baby. "Listen Masamune I'm on my way to your house. We have a lot to talk about that will determine the course of our relationship". Ritsu said without stuttering which stunned his lover.

"Ritsu, what's going on?? I have never heard you call me anything but Senpai". Masamune whispered nervously, his grip tightened on his phone. He could hear his heart beating loudly as his mind started racing thinking Ritsu was going to break up with him. "I don't want to lose you Ritsu". He whispered shakily at the thought of going back to the darkness that was his life before he knew what happiness was.

"I don't want that either Masamune but we do have to talk....". Ritsu was cut off by the train arriving. "The train is here. I'll see you soon, I love you Masamune even if you don't". He whispered leaving his lover speechless as he hung up the phone.

"Ritsu....". Masamune whispered snapping out of it. His hazel eyes glanced down at the phone in his hand. His heart beating radically as his boyfriend's words ran through his head. It saddened him to know that Ritsu didn't think he loved him. He knew he he had a difficult time showing emotions, but he realized he was in love with his other half when he bumped into a wall, making him smile for the first time since he could remember.

After that day his heart started beating differently, he couldn't understand what it was but just talking to Ritsu after that was different. He smiled absently, remembering how his lover has difficulties holding a conversation with him or how his face turns bright red just when he's near, how his body reacts when he's tracing touches across his skin. That day he knew what love felt like something that had been absent in his life ever since he could remember.

Whatever happened when Ritsu arrived he would fix it. Masamune refused to lose the boy who brought him happiness, who lit up his once dark world the person that didn't make him feel alone anymore.
