just one swift movement, and takemichi's eyes widened as he was pulled roughly, towards a broad chest. the grasp that ran had on his wrist didn't falter. takeomi could only raise a brow at the male's behavior, it was almost hysterical for him." someone's possessive. " he muttered under his breath, yet loud enough so ran could hear. 

The purple head's irritated smile remained. his eyes rolling in the process, " I'll be taking him. " he stated, his gaze now flickering towards the raven in his embrace.
takemichi blinked multiple times in response , what's with this tension??

" glad to see you find this place admiring. " hanagaki snapped out of his trance at the male's remark. they were walking down the hallways, making way to a room that seemed like a office. " yeah, it's amazing actually. " the ravenette replied softly, while following him inside.

the tall male abruptly stopped walking, making him take a pause as well. As ran turned around to face him, the short male could still see a few veins present on the side of his neck. " apologies for earlier. I was in a bad mood. " the latter explained, a sly smile on his lips. with ran looming over him, takemichi felt like the room had gotten more smaller than before.

" oh, no worries it's alright. "
he assures. although, takemichi could still sense tension within the male. focus, let's get this over with. digging through the pocket of his jacket, he takes ahold of the card. " here. "

Tilting his head to the side slightly, ran opens his mouth. " what do you want me to do with this? " he questions. " I'm giving this back to you, I appreciate it. but, it's too much. "

what a surprise, he didn't expect this.
he had to resist chuckling, hanagaki was just being so adorable right now. the tall male felt his tense shoulders relaxing instantly. with a now amused gaze, he leans down, the distance between them lessening. " this is my gift for you bunny. I have no intentions of retrieving it. " he retorts.

" I-Im really not worthy of keeping this. " takemichi stammers.

" it's a gift. doesn't matter whether you are worthy of it. " taking notice of his persistence, ran sighs softly. nevertheless, he's quite disappointed of the situation. " you're being stubborn bunny. " he comments, his tone laced with playfulness.

" you're being stubborn too. . " takemichi fought back, scratching the side of his cheek in the process. as they both hold onto each other's gazes, quick silence pass between them. until the tall male soon bursted into laughter, the ravenette could only raise his eyebrow. " w-what's so funny? " he asks, a hint of confusion in his tone.

" your lucky you're damn adorable." In the midst of the moment, ran sneakily placed both of his muscular arms around hanagaki, leaning against him. in result, catching a grunt from takemichi. " ang bigat mo kaya!. . " he complains, yet the male only continued to coddle him.

" uno! I win. " sanzu whisper yells, not hesitating to smack the card pile onto the ground. " ha?, mandadaya ka lang. " kakucho accuses, crossing his arms against his chest. the pink haired only shot him a glare, " nah, kanina ka pa kasi di nanalo. kaya ganyan ka. "

taking it a bit too seriously. atushi snorts at the sight, soon glancing at the male beside him. " it's been a long time since I've seen ya visit here. " he mentions. he watches as the suppose male pushes up his glasses just right onto his temple. " been busy. figured I'd come for a while. " rindou mumbled.

takeomi nods in understanding, averting his gaze back towards the two arguing. " your brother's been quite busy as well. " he chuckles lightly. rindou scoffed, " as usual. " hands in his sweatpants pockets. as he rose up from the couch, heading towards the penthouse's kitchen.

he couldn't obviously careless about his brother's affairs. yet, he sometimes manages to get tugged right into them. " wonder what type it is. " he exhales quietly as he patiently ties his hair into a small bun. rindou soon takes notice of the sound of water dripping. must be the faucet, he concludes. he soon stops at the doorway,

surprised as his eyes land on a male with raven hair. they were on their bare tip toes, trying to reach whatever was in the cupboards. as whoever this is they kept mumbling, " come on. . " his eyes narrowed, not hesitating to clear his throat in order to get this person's attention. " who are you? "

he questions, sternly and bluntly. as expected, the raven stopped at their tracks, finally making eye contact with him. " oh. hi, I'm takemichi. " rindou brows furrowed at their awkward greeting. takemichi?
