I sooo love the manga…nyahaha! XD So then...
WARNING: This will be based on Chapter 10 of Volume 3. XD You wouldn't get it if you haven't read that part. OwO
Also, I'll have to apologize about the random title naming. XD Nothing comes to mind at the moment. =)) I'm probably still a little bitter about Mio losing in the first round of Saimoe… I hope Yui avenges…Azu-nyan too! …actually, with teh awesome Hiiragi Kagamin…I'm scared for Azusa. O_O But Kagamin winning again is fine too! 8D
…ahem. XD Sorry for babbling.
So then, notes…hnn…italicized words are usually for thoughts in my works…the ones inside quotation marks are for flashbacks of something though. XD And the ones in between normal sentences are probably just for emphasis. XD I use italic a lot, huh? =))
Disclaimer: Ritsu doesn't belong to me, she's owned by Mio—I mean K-ON! is owned by KyoAni and Kakifly. =))
Nothing beats Ice Cream when it's hot!
She can still feel the swell bump on her head until she reached her home, the maids and servants fussed over it, and her father, who was in Finland at the time, got out of his way just to call and check if his daughter was fine. Despite having such atrocity inflicted upon her, Tsumugi was smiling; she looked as if she wanted it to happen, even. This left the whole Kotobuki household wonder where in the world their beloved ojou-sama go to, and coming back like that, still grinning in delight.
Inside her room, she immediately jumped on bed, behaving in a manner a girl taken out on a wonderful romantic date with her crush would as she kept on giggling to herself, her face happily flushed.
"No one has ever hit me like that…" She hugged her pillow carefully with her left hand, while the other went over to her slightly painful bump from earlier. "Ricchan is so great!" Her eyes sparkled brilliantly.
I can't wait for summer break to end…
---
As the hot season went on without incident, so did their vacation. For Ritsu, going back to school never made her feel so happy…so why was she? Aside from the new A/C in their clubroom, and Mugi's cake, was there anything that made her particularly giddy about going to Sakurakou every day? In this case, it must be that her summer vacation was finally over. She didn't exactly have a blast all throughout, but she'd be lying if she said that it wasn't fun. Cause it was, in certain ways.
"My wallet feels so light…I wonder if I should shut my mouth for all eternity from now on…" The brunette told herself, smiling lazily at remembering the stuff she did.
"Good morning, Ricchan." A gentle voice broke her moment of self-indulgence.
"Yo, Mugi!" She decided to greet back with great vigor. The classroom was still a bit empty, but her presence lightened the place up.
"How are you?"
Perhaps she was imagining things, but why does Mugi appear so radiant all of a sudden? Her smile added to the impression as she smiled so happily, so peculiarly tender that it was…well, weird. "O-oh, I'm doing good! How about you?!"
Asking this when we just talked to each other yesterday too…
"I feel very fine today, thank you for asking." The blonde expressed as she went towards the other girl, grasping her hand vigilantly. "I'm looking forward to be with you today, please take care of me." A smile of pure seriousness reflected in her eyes as she smiled at the other girl.
She's talking about the club right? RIGHT?!
"Y-yeah! You bet!" Ritsu had to try her best to not lose face at this point.
For some reason or another, Mugi has been a little too in touch with Ritsu ever since that day she took her to that Dagashi store and the Arcade. She would call a lot and they would talk about things they never do when in the club. All in all, it was a nice and enlightening experience for the both of them. One would even say that they have upped their friendship in some way. The fruits of their bond were now put into action, the way the fair-haired lady treats her now is proof enough.
"Um…eto…?" Ritsu almost squeaked.
Realizing that they've been holding each other's hands for quite a while now, Tsumugi blushed cutely and bashfully let go. She giggled a bit as she went over to her seat.
Why is she blushing?!
"Good morning everyone~!" Yui chimed in as she greeted both girls.
"Yoo~!" She greeted in attempts of putting her confusion aside by bringing back her liveliness.
…
It was not like she anticipated it, but the recent oddity of events occurring around her had made her want school hours to be over. Contrary to her claim of being relieved to be back at school previously, a sudden urge of wanting to have a vacation overwhelmed her mind. But of course, her time at school hasn't ended just yet. She still had a club to attend to. At this, Ritsu couldn't help but make a face. She opened the door to her clubroom, only to be greeted by a smiling face of her childhood friend, Akiyama Mio.
"You're here early." She observed, stating the obvious.
"Well, I came up with an idea for our new song." The ebony haired lass announced, looking rather proud.
"Great! Let's see them!" The brown haired girl ran up to the taller lady in enthusiasm.
Up until now, she was never the one to advertise her own work, so even Mio surprised herself at how confident she's become. Watching her friend run through her incomplete lyrics reminded her of the days when Ritsu came to her and ended up helping to have her gain the confidence to be able to read her essay out loud in front of an audience despite how strongly embarrassed she was to do so. No matter how much of a prankster she can be, she was fun to be with. She would learn things she never imagined she'll appreciate and more. It was also thanks to her that she was able to enjoy summer vacation thoroughly this time around too. Although she knew it was on impulse that she did, she was thankful that the girl offered to take her out to have fun on the remaining days of summer break.
"Fine, fine! I'll take you out on your free days and pick you up after Summer School!" Ritsu declared firmly on the other line.
A smile can be seen plastered on the blue eyed girl's face as she held on the phone tighter. "Really?" She managed to say.
"Sure! The plan was to originally hang out with you anyway."
The way she does things might be extreme at times, and most often, it annoyed her senseless…but that's how Ritsu is, and Mio loved her for that. After all, when it's necessary, the person she first runs to is the genki girl…and somehow, dire things turn out right in the end.
"Be sure to help me with my summer homework though!"
…of course there was a catch. It was Tainaka Ritsu she was dealing with.
She never did ask me anything about it after that though…
"Mio? Mio!!!"
"Wh-what?" Was her answer after being snapped out of her thoughts.
"Geez, I've been calling you for the last two minutes. …you're not sick, are you?"
"No…"
"Anyway, I've read it…"
The look on the black haired girl's face was expectant, her gesture ushered the short haired lass to go on.
"I'll never understand your taste…" Ritsu finished lamely.
"Ehhh???"
"It was good though! I can really feel the emotion to it!" She added encouragingly.
"You really think so?" Mio's eyes shined as she clasped her fingers together.
"Um…yeah! The way you made it looked like you're in love or something!" She couldn't lie, that's what she really thought when she read the girl's lyrics…it made her back itch too.
"Huh?" Majority of what I've written are based on you… Mio would have said, but it suddenly felt very redundant to, and not to mention embarrassing.
"Don't worry, it'll do!" Ritsu grinned and patted her back in gesture of appreciation.
"Yeah…thanks…" Was the bass player's weak reply as she moved several feet away from the tan haired girl, avoiding her continuous patting. Hints of red were faintly shown on her cheeks as she did.
Just then, the rest of the Keion club members started coming in, they seemed to be enjoying a conversation as they entered in gleeful chatter.
"Ah, Ricchan, Mio-chan, you're here already!" Yui happily exclaimed, pointing the two girls.
"Well they are practically the husband and wife when you look at the club in a familial sense…" Azusa commented. "It's to be expected, don't you think?"
"That's right!" The look on the airhead's face was that of a person who has reached the highest point of understanding in her lifetime. "Ricchan is the husband, and Mio-chan is the wife!"
"It certainly looks that way…" The twin tailed girl agreed as she looked at the older girl's sparkling face, distracted by the fact that she too had the tendency to get sidetracked to the littlest of things. "…actually, I thought Mugi-sempai would make a good wife too." And yet she continued…Yui was contagious.
"Hey now…why are you even talking about this? And why am I a husband?" Ritsu interjected, her face looking a bit disgruntled.
"I…I wouldn't mind to be wife—
"I wouldn't mind being Ricchan's wife." Tsumugi confessed.
"Oh…EHHH???" The three questioned in unison.
Is Mugi serious?
She didn't actually say hers' that outwardly like Mugi did… So it might just be coincidence that her and the pianist happen to have the same opinion about the matter. It might even be just a joke on her part, who knows. But what was this gut feeling that it wasn't like that? Mio looked at the Kotobuki ojou-sama, not really paying attention at how her eyes glistened when she looked at the caramel haired girl who was still a bit dumbfounded about the things that happened…Yui and Azusa with her on the whole thing.
...wait, does that mean I really want to be Ritsu's wife?!
Putting in a shameless plug, I love Saki's exaggerated mahjong! Rinshan Kaihou~! 8D Hahaha. :3
Now then…done! OwO I finished quite early for something I was planning to work on all night. XD I can't sleep, but I'm not excited for school…and I still think of ways on how I can make a MioxRitsu doujinshi. Pretty diligent, eh? Blame K-ON. =))
This idea came out on a whim, to be quite honest…but there might be a continuation…maybe. What do you guys think? =)
