The love lives of the Ukes

Announcement Aftermath: Ritsu

'The emperor is very pro-homosexuality. So she has asked me, as a condition for her letting us publish her book, for every and any, gay or straight, male with a woman's shoulder width or waistline must attend the party in dresses.' A clip from the conference ended as the news anchor began to talking again.

"That was a clip from a press conference that was two hours. Apparently the new CEO of Marukawa Publishing announced that in order to guarantee the privilege of publishing the emperor's autobiography, the male employees of the company are to dress in women if they have a woman's waistline or shoulder width." She said. "I'm being told that at least have of the male employees have to follow the directions or their services to the company will be terminated."

BACK TO MARUKAWA'S FAMOUS DEPARTMENT

Ritsu was having a mini panic attack in the bathroom as Kisa pat his back while Misaki, Mino and Hatori watched.

"Ricchan, relax! You'll be fine. I mean, do you see me freaking out? It's not bothering me." Kisa said with a amused expression on his face and Ritsu sat up straight as he looked at Kisa with the biggest frown on his face.

"Shouta, I am the only son of my family's company. I'm an only child of my family and this party will be shown on live TV! HOW EXACTLY IS THIS NOT SUPPOSE TO BOTHER ME?!" Ritsu yelled and Kisa gulped before backing away while Ritsu started screaming in panic again, Misaki groaned in discomfort of situation.

"Should we get Takano-san?" Misaki suggested to the group and they jumped as Ritsu started crying while rocking back and forth on the floor, Kisa nodded vigorously along with Mino and Hatori.

"That would be wise, should one of us stay here?" Hatori asked and they looked back at their mental breakdowning friend before running out of the bathroom, leaving a 'OUT OF ORDER' sign on the door even though people were avoiding it anyway from hearing the spring green eyed editor's screams.

MEANWHILE AT THE CONFERENCE ROOM

While everyone else, especially those that were male, were rioting around Isaka-san, Chiaki was mentally exhausted as everything had sinked in. As an author of the company, he had no choice but to go to this party. But the thought of being in a dress really shook Chiaki's manhood. He was already barely comfortable being the bottom of his relationship with Hatori and now this?! It's like killing his pride. Plus these parties are usually telegraphed, how was he suppose to go and not be on TV as well?

"Yoshino." Chiaki gasped as he saw Hatori walk up to him with other people behind him: Misaki, Kisa, and Mino. "Have you seen Takano-san?" He asked and Chiaki shook his head.

"No I haven't." Chiaki said and they sighed before they saw Takano walking out with Akihiko as they talked to Ichinose.

"Oh Hatori-san." She said as she walked pass Chiaki and he glared at her little, he was really didn't like this woman. "I was just talking about you with Takano, I still don't see why I can't have as my editor." She commented and Hatori chuckled softly.

"Well Ichinose-sensei, someone has to keep Miss Yoshikawa in line and I am the only one to do so." Hatori said with a small smile and Ichinose laughed as Chiaki internally groaned while he rolled his eyes.

"She is so lucky to have editor like you, especially since I hear you she can't keep her deadlines." Chiaki clenched his fist while the two laugh and Misaki and Kisa noticed but didn't say anything, they could tell that he and Hatori were involved with each other somehow.

"I will not say that I'm not lucky to have her as an author too. As much as she is late with her manuscripts, she does keep me grounded." Hatori said and Ichinose shrugged.
