AN: Ritsu and Yui's friendship in K-On! is one of the constant things you see throughout the show. They're always the pair that initiates most of the club's shenanigans or the ones that act as the background noise for the club because they're the most lively characters. And I enjoy their shenanigans, friendship, and chemistry together. I think that they just fit other so well because of their similar and energetic personalities. So I decided to make this fic for them because there's plenty of Ritsu/Mio and Yui/Azusa fics to go around but I barely see Ritsu/Yui. Just gonna be fun little drabbles and whatever I think up of.


Ritsu and Yui were currently the only 2 inhabitants inside the club room of the Light Music club.

Mio and Mugi had been left behind in their classroom because they had been assigned. after school cleaning duty. Azusa was so far nowhere to be found, presumably also stuck with cleaning duty too for her class.

As it was just the two of them when they arrived in the club room, instead of practicing their instruments like diligent members of the light music club should, the two notorious blockheads of the light music club decided to hang and play around while waiting for the rest of their friends to arrive.

At the moment, Yui was playing around with Giita. She wasn't actually playing with him in the sense a normal musician would with a guitar. She was literally playing with it as if her guitar an actual person. She was currently dressing up Giita with outfits she had brought along and was rotating through them trying to figure out what fit her guitar the best.

Ritsu meanwhile was just sitting on the bench watching her with an amused expression as it never failed to amaze her how much affection Yui showed her guitar in a weird manner.

"Yui, I get that you love your guitar, but is it really appropriate to do that to it?"

Yui turned around from her happy dress-up session to Ritsu. "What do you mean? I do this all the time at home."

Ritsu sweatdropped. "That doesn't really help your point." She said.

"But Giita likes it! This is how I show my love and affection for him!"

"People usually show their care and affection for their instruments by keeping them maintained instead of dressing them up."

"But I already took Giita to the shop last month. So now I'm just trying to make him cuter!" Yui said as she held out a pair of clothes.

Ritsu could only wonder what went through Yui's mind with things like this. "I'm just saying that it's pretty weird to dress them up like that, but it's not like I really care about what you do with your guitar."

The look on Yui's face began to turn into a smug expression. "Ara, Ricchan? Are you jealous too?" Yui said as she put up her hand up to her mouth.

"What?" Ritsu said surprised. "What would I be jealous of?"

"You're just like Azunyan. You're jealous I'm spending more time with Giita than I am with you." She said in a sing-song tone.

"Yes I am. I'm soooooo jealous." Ritsu rolled her eyes. "I'm going to be so sad and lonely not being able to be with you." She said sarcastically.

Yui stood up. "Awww, Ricchan!" Yui said as she leapt over to Ritsu and tackled her in a surprise hug.

"Gah!" Ritsu gasped at the sudden mass and force that came at her.

Yui had wrapped herself around Ritsu with a happy look on her face. "Don't worry Ricchan! You'll always be my buchou!"

"Is that all I am to you?" Ritsu said accusingly as she broke off a little from Yui's hug to wrap her arms around Yui's neck and put her in a chokehold.

Yui was laughing as Ritsu put her in a chokehold. "Of course not. You're my classmate too!"

"Mou, Yui!"

Yui continued laughing as Ritsu continued to choke her out. But through the choking, Yui could somehow feel that Ritsu was just also displaying her own way of affection towards the girl. Albeit in a more painful way. Kind of like how Mio always hit Ritsu.

Eventually, Ritsu joined in and started laughing from Yui's laughter as the two girls knew they were joking with each other.

After Ritsu released her chokehold the two calmed down from their little physical altercation, Yui suddenly had an idea pop into her head.

"Ricchan!" Yui energetically spoke up right next to her friend.

"What Yui?" Ritsu said facing Yui.

"I was just thinking..."

"You were thinking? That's a first for you."

"Mou! Ricchan!" Yui flailed her hands into fists into Ritsu's face.

"Sorry, sorry." Ritsu chuckled as she raised up her heads in defense of her head from Yui's attacks. "I didn't mean that. So what were you going to say?"

Yui backed down form hitting her after Ritsu apologized. "Well, I was just thinking about Giita."

"Did you finally realize how ridiculous you were being."

"Nope!" Yui replied non-hesitantly with confidence.

"Okay, then what is it?"

"I was just thinking, you know how my guitar's name is Giita? Or how Azunyan's guitar is named Muttan? And Mio's Bass is named Elizabeth?"

"Yes, I do recall the, uh, very interesting names that you came up with for your instruments." Ritsu said with a wry expression.

"So I was wondering, what about your drums?"

"What do you mean what about my drums?"

"Do your drums have a name?"

"Hah?"

Yui jumped up from her seat on the bench and jollying strolled over to the Drum set in front of them.

"Your drums Ricchan!"

"Uhh, I don't think they have a name." Ritsu said scratching her cheek. "Don't think I ever gave them one."

"That's no good Ricchan!" Yui exclaimed with vigorous energy as she popped up fast into Ritsu's face.

"Why isn't it good?" Ritsu said nervously at the sudden proximity Yui was in front of her.

"It needs to have a name!"

"Why does it 'need to'?" Ritsu said questioningly.

"Your instrument needs to have an identity. When it has an identity, you can give it all the affection you want!"

"Err, but I already treat my drums pretty well Yui."

"Now, what should we call it." Yui said hopping excitedly.

It had seemed that Yui ignored Ritsu's last statement and was now crowding around her drums, looking very closely at it. Ritsu could only sigh as Yui had ignored her but put on a slight smile. She decided she might as well oblige her. There was never a boring moment for her around Yui.

Ritsu got up from the bench and walked over to her drums an stood right behind Yui who was examining her drums with perusal.

"Hmm." Yui had a scrutinizing look.

Suddenly, Yui's face began to light. "Ah, Ricchan, I think I found the name for your drums!" Yui exclaimed.

"Oh? And what might it be"

"It's got a name already!" Yui suddenly exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Ritsu said confused.

"Yamaha-san!" Yui extended her arm and pointed down towards the Bass drum.

Ritsu didn't seem all that surprised that Yui came to this conclusion. "Yui, that's not it's real name." Ritsu said.

"Hmm?" Yui turned to Ritsu. "But it's right there. That must be it's name!"

"Ah, your cymbals have a name on it too! Zildjian!"

"Uhh, how do I explain this to you Yui." Ritsu sweatdropped. "That's just the brand name of the company that made the drums." She explained.

Yui tilted her head as she still looked like she didn't understand.

"That's the company that makes the instrument. It's not the instrument's name." Ritsu explained.

"But why would they put their name on it then? They wouldn't put a name on it if it wasn't what they're going to name it."

"That's...not how it works Yui." Ritsu said. "Think of it like this, let's use your guitar as an example." Ritsu gestured towards Yui's guitar that was leaned up against the wall.

"If the brand name was it's real name, then your guitar's actual name would Gibson instead of Giita." Ritsu said. "Here, look at your guitar it says right there on the headstock." Ritsu pointed out as she walked over to Yui's Gibson Les Paul.

"You mean Giita isn't Giita?!" Yui said in a panicked matter as she followed behind her friend and went up to her guitar.

She looked at the headstock of her guitar and gasped. "You're right Ricchan!"

Yui fell to her knees and started stroking her guitar with her palm. "I'm so sorry I've been calling you the wrong name wrong this whole time Gibson-san." Yui said with a sad tone.

"Yui, as I said, it's just the brand name." Ritsu said trying to placate her worried friend. "Giita is still Giita."

"Really?" Yui turned to Ritsu with teary eyes.

"Yes, Giita is still the same perso-, uh instrument, that you've always known him as." She said soothingly. "It's your name that you gave him, so he's still Giita."

Yui's expression started changing to one of relief as she listened to Ritsu's words. She turned back towards her guitar and picked it up and gave it a strong hug. She began saying loving words to her guitar as she was relieved over the slight worry about her guitar's name.

Ritsu could could only crack a smile at Yui's actions. It may have been weird, but Ritsu could only wish she could give her instrument as much love as Yui did hers.

"Alright, Yui, I guess I'll try giving my drums a name then." Ritsu said.
