Takano gave a quiet chuckle, "A distraction from what?" He asked almost without thinking. Without any idea if he was asking about anything too sensitive the words slipped past his lips.

Distraction... was Takano distracted right now? What was he distracted from? What...? Oh!

Takano elicited a little gasp when he remembered and he then had to stifle a yawn, "Hey, Audrey, you wanna do me a huge favor?" He began, leaning forward on the couch. It was odd, but for some reason Takano's seemingly hardly beating heart leapt up to his throat as he began the question. He didn't normally ask people on legitimate dates. Well okay it's not like it'd be a date-date but--

His breath got caught as he started prepping himself to handle such a forward request.

Strange and stranger.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Takano felt a bit embarrassed. The way Audrey talked... he kind of sounded like he cared? Takano hadn't even gotten that growing up from his mom, how was he supposed to reply to that now?

"I...." he hesitated a moment, trying to collect even a stray thought in his blurry mind, "Yeah. Author was late with her manuscripts. I haven't slept in a while," he admitted, a yawn forcing passed his chapped lips without his concent.

He let his head fall on his hand as he kept talking, "I hope I didn't keep you waiting very long to see if I'd message," Takano mumbled, subtly showing the vulnerability of guilt. Normally, he definitely wasn't the kind to apologize, but sleep fogged his mind enough to take down a few of his walls.

Strange and stranger.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Fuck! It's ringing! Why is it ringing? Takano nearly dropped his phone when it started playing the marimba chime. He fumbled to keep it in his hands and lightly tapped the answer symbol on his screen.

The voice that played made his heart warm-- as well as pound faster than the speed of light.

"Hah... I'm not that scatter brained," he chuckled. His voice was heavy, drowned in exhaustion. It broke and cracked because he'd been barking all week and the toll was upon him now.

It suddenly became very clear to Takano that he hadn't really asked anyone on a formal date in almost ten years. He gulped. What does one do? Should he just get right to it? He closed his eyes trying to think before finally croaking, "Uh... how've you been?"

Strange and stranger.

Fanfic: So they’re at their new office jobs

Fanfic: But get this

Fanfic: They haven’t seen each other in FIVE YEARS

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Hell week hit and it hit hard. Takano was surviving completely off of caffeine and he was basically barely awake. Once a month this was his suffering. Barking orders and pulling all nighters in an office full of men who he knew for a fact just wanted to go home. This was the part of his job he hated.

As a result over the next few days, not a word came from him over the phone, infact, it was most likely left at home.

On top of it, he knew his boss was coming. Dammit Ikawa what the hell could he possibly want? He knew the offices were busy right now, could he just bug off until this week was over?!

"Remember guys! This Saturday is the company party! You can't forget!" Sang his boss before he left. The whole office became filled with groans. Kisa even hit his head to the desk. Great, so they didn't even get to relax this weekend they had to put their game faces on and pretend to be charming.

And Takano needed to find a date for it.

Dammit he was really pissed.

This did provide an opportunity, though...

When he got back home, with bags under his eyes and his heart in his throat, he pulled out a napkin with numbers scribbled on it. Tapping it into his phone, he sent one text.

[TEXT: AUDREY 10:30PM]

"Hey. It's Takano. Do you remember me?"

Strange and stranger.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

A certain amount of guilt pinched at Takano's side, mainly because oh, so many times was he the angry editor that was kept waiting by his author. At the same time, he wished the author's editor would bug off so he could steal just a few more moments with this quiet, strange man.

Handsome?! Did-- what did he say?! Takano felt his throat cramp completely and no words could leave him. What-- what was that? So Audrey was flirting with him? Why did Takano even care? That man... oh that man!

Takano swallowed the lump in his throat and mustered together the most calm grin he could under his heart's circumstances and waved his hand dismissively, "I wouldn't want to be on your end if your editor is anything like me," he lightly joked, pretending his blush was much more subtle than it really was. "Good luck."

Still, he couldn't stop his eyes from following Audrey as the enchanting man walked away. He allowed them to memorize his frame, the way he walked the way he carried himself, right down to his fingertips. Takano knew he wouldn't forget him, after all his memory was immaculent. Even still, he didn't want to risk it.

A jolt pulsed through his entire body when their eyes met, though. He cleared his throat and abruptly stood up, leaving the waitress a tip and bolting home as if he actually had somewhere to be.

Strange and stranger.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

"Who would I.. want it to be?.." Takano repeated. If one looked closely enough, they'd see his bottom lip slip beneath his teeth. Just the imagery of who it'd be. Yes, he could see him. A decade ago, a young man, bright green eyes and auburn hair. The innocent look and the hidden rage beneath it. He'd wave at Takano and Takano would finally apologize to him and before the editor could stop himself he was speechless. He was shaking, even.

Oh, the things that he would do if he could just have a fleeting millisecond with that person once again.

He looked down and then offered Hikaru a half hearted grin, "You, duh," he answered, turning his head so that the red head couldn't see the pain of regret in Takano's hazel eyes.

"Your turn."

“Am I crazy for wanting you? Maybe, if you’re crazy, you could want me too.” Takano had literally met this person- to the point that they didn’t even know the names of one another. He wasn’t sure why the words had fallen past his lips, honestly. They had just spontaneously been said, and now the editor couldn’t take them back because they were already out there. Even so, Takano maintained eye contacts, waiting for some sort of reaction from the other.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

There was something in Takano's hazel eyes. A kind a flame that flickered and burned with lust, "As you wish," he growled. He got up and he took hold of both of Soubi's wrists and pinned them to the bed. Subtly, but very clearly, he licked his lips and positioned his manhood right up against the other's ass.

The editor must have been so drunk. He must have been so drunk. If he was thinking clearly, he wouldn't be about to do this. He wouldn't have even thought about it-- and yet here he was, ready to pound this man into next week.

This was going to be really fun or really regrettable.

Without a moment's hesitation, he pushed in. Raw. He wanted this man to be screaming in pleasure by the end of this.

The New Guy

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Was the author... flirting with him? Takano's hazel eyes instantly widened. So subtle yet so clear. Even the man's flirting tactics were gentle. Part of the Editor-In-Chief wanted to look away-- but he couldn't bring his eyes to part with the fox like eyes of his new friend.

Clearing his throat he responded, "Well," He began, taking a deep breath to ensure that his voice didn't crack, "I certainly wouldn't be against the notion of meeting with you more." Admitting that made his heart pound and he grit his teeth. How was this even possible? Takano knew for a fact that he had his heart locked up in the tightest cage imaginable! So, why? Why now was it bound and determined to burst?

Finally he broke gaze, looking down and ignoring the blood rush that burned his pale cheeks. This man, just what kind of sourceror was he? Coming up so easily and knocking down Takano's defenses so effortlessly. Almost as if Takano had none to begin with.

Almost as if Takano wanted Audrey to break them down.

It pissed him off. Not at Audrey but at himself. How could he be this vulnerable? Absolutely ridiculous.

Strange and stranger.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Takano let out a steamy breath through those lips of his that were curved up in a smirk. As if by complete instinct, Takano was pulling off Soubi’s clothes, having to restrain himself greatly to not rip them off of his body. In an instant the two of them were completely bare, and Takano made his move. He placed a short kiss upon Soubi’s lips, barely slipping his tongue into the other’s mouth before pulling back and grinning. 

Soon, he peppered kisses all along the other’s chest and abdomen, sucking on him every so often until dark hickies polka-dotted Soubi. In that moment, Takano wanted to claim him. He wanted this man to know that he was Takano’s territory tonight. And he had every intention of making that, very, very clear. 

Takano licked his lips as he made his way further down until he found his way at the hot, erect dick of the man who he had just barely met. Of the man he now worked with. Oh how Takano would regret this in the morning. Ah, but he was just drunk enough to not give a single shit. He smirked and glanced up at the other, “Mm~ Oh my, someone’s quite excited isn’t he?~” He purred, his voice like that of a buttery growl. 

The New Guy

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Takano wanted to give a soft bit of laughter at the idea of this person being female.Oh, if only. It would be a bit more normal, Takano couldn’t help but think to himself. He gave a scoff, “Calling me attractive now? And you think I’m the only one doing all the flirting.” While Takano’s words were charming and sarcastic as all of them had been within the time of meeting Hikaru to now, There was something off. As though there was a shadow drifting over him, covering his eyes and making his smile see through. The thing about smiles is, a person needs to be damn good at it to be able to feign one well. Takano, well, he was not really one of those kinds of people. 

Hazel eyes jolted up when fingers sewed themselves with his own. He felt his legs moving when he was pulled along but he didn’t really register it at first. In that moment, Takano was senseless. It had been ten years since someone had caught him by surprise like that. Something bubbled up within his chest, though he wasn’t sure what it was. And he felt his cheeks heat up almost to the point that the heat was burning his ears off. In this cold air, it was a damn shock it didn’t cause steam. A sort of clogged feeling that rose from his lungs to his throat and that made him want to avert his eyes. A feeling he refused to feel so often that it was amplifying the feeling. A white-hot wave of embarrassment most likely. He had lost thought as he felt his body following the other’s and all he could do was stammer a quiet, “H-Huh?”

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Takano blinked his eyes open and found empty bus seats in front of him. Slowly, he turned his head to find Kisa, a small hint of guilt plastered onto the face of someone who had been asleep and clearly needed more. He shook his head, “Don’t apologize, I should have probably stayed awake myself. We can split the bill.” He stood up, straightening out his clothes before turning and, in a playful-- but still sleepily clumsy way-- buttoned Kisa’s coat all the way up, “Don’t get a cold, he mumbled before leading the way to stumble out of the bus. 

The night air of an unfamiliar town struck Takano immediately and he had to shake his head a moment to clear it of the shock that fogged it. Where were they even? He had never, ever seen this town before. He reached over and took hold of Kisa’s hand, “So, I guess the first thing we need is a town map to find a hotel?”

"Beg for it"

Kisa squirmed a little, giving a giggle. Being on his knees with his arms tied behind his back was nothing out of the ordinary for him. Perhaps he and Takano would really be making a habit of this soon enough, although this time Kisa had shown Takano the box under his bed. He wouldn’t always want people to know about the kinky stuff he liked.

He tried his best to reach his tongue up to his cock whilst Takano kept teasingly pulling it away from his mouth. Upon being told to beg for it he gave an amused smile and looked up to him. “Please” He groaned, licking his lips. Although he knew that wasn’t nearly enough to be called ‘begging’, but he figured he’d push his luck.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Relief washed over Takano’s body when it was more of an icebreaker. To personal and the ever honest editor would end up killing the flirtatious mood he was in. Takano offered a teasing grin, “Why, you, of course.” He replied before scoffing. The night twinkled above them and the noiseless noisiness filled the air for several moments before Takano glanced over at the other from the side, “Don’t get too flustered over that one kid,” He teased, a wide smirk spread so far across his lips that he could be confused for the Cheshire Cat.

Then he sighed, “I guess... someone I miss a lot, then.” Without realizing it, the smile had faded from his lips and his hazel eyes gazed at the cement below as though he could see through it. Now so many thoughts were buzzing through his mind. What would he do if he saw that person again? What would he even say? And now, he stood still, looking at the ground, as if he’d forgotten he was even holding a conversation.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Takano gave the softest of chuckles, the kind the grumbled low in his chest. He moved his head down to pepper kisses along the other’s neck. He was cautious with his kisses though. The damage done to the other had been to great there. So, even though lust felt like it was burning through his body and making his movements rough, he still didn’t wish to hurt him. 

He moved his hands from the other’s wrists to tug the other’s hair. He whispered in his ear, close enough that his hot breath that could be felt, “You must be burning alive in all of these clothes,” He assumed, starting to lift Soubi’s shirt off. 

The New Guy

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

“Ichimasu-san,” Takano repeated the name. Then he nodded, “The name’s Takano Masamune.” He answered in return for politeness’s sake. 

At the question, Takano felt his eyes widen a little bit before giving a sigh through lips curved up in a cocky smirk, “Ah? What a softy.” Then he brushed his umber hair from his eyes, “I am sure they will be alright,” He grinned, “I’m pretty sure that whatever attacked them got it’s satisfaction from ripping you apart.” 

Stray Cat.

[edxtor-in-chxef-takano]

Takano shook his head, “I’m not going anywhere! I just don’t understand!” Then he took a hold of Kira’s wrist. He had always known Kira was little, but just then, as Takano’s fingers met with themselves even though they were wrapped around the other’s wist, the editor-in-chief really noticed how small the other was. Fragile. Like the slightest movement could snap the poor thing in two. 

“You’re stupid, and confusing, and the most hot and cold person I could ever have met,” He began, not really meeting those teary, amethyst eyes. “But, you’re right, I am still here. Because... Yes, you are all those things. But, you are also the kind of person that despite all reason, I can’t... stop loving you.” A pained scoff escaped those pale lips of Takano’s. “So, I am here. I am not leaving.” 

He looked down again, biting the inside of his cheek before mumbling, “Is... that alright?” 

". Are you an orphanage? Cause I wanna give you kids." (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

Takano hadn’t thought Kira was one for cheesy pick up lines. Takano grinned in amusement, chuckling quite a bit, “Well I could certainly be like an orphanage if it was for kids coming from you,” He replied through his laughter and a wink. If there was one thing that Takano was talented at, it was being cheesy. With all the girl’s manga he saw, he ought to be. Regardless of that though, this was all quite amusing.((Oh my gosh I’m giggling XD))

Sorry for that sudden hiatus!

I know I have been gone like forever! My life has been insanely busy and my phone broke which was my usual mode of replying! I am back though! I know I am patchy and stuff but I am doing my very best! For anyone who wishes to continue our stories, I am so sorry for the wait!
