Hello guys! I'm back with a new story. After 2 years (or more) I'm finally back. Wait! Why do I make a new story? How about the rests of my uncompleted stories? Ok, don't worry about that. I just want to make a something new. It doesn't mean that I left them behind. I wrote this story because it suddenly flew on my mind. I don't want to let it flow and forget it. So I wrote it down on my blinder. Yeah! It successfully made me sleep so late at night. Well, better did it that night than later. Because it will hard for me to get a 'feel' to write. I hope this story will satisfy all of Mitsu's fans. Since Kyoto Animation and Kakifly are like to tease us, Mitsu fans, at their official pictures, anime, and manga. Happy reading guys! ^w^

Pairings: Mio and Ritsu (Mitsu)

Warnings: Yuri, AU

Rate: T

The members of Houkago Tea Time's life have changed since they'd graduated from high school. Once they were introduced by Sawako-sensei to a music director. They had a jamming session in front of the director. Just one song, it was Fuwa Fuwa Time. But it successfully made the director agreed to make a deal and sign a contract between them. The producer said that their selling points are "cuteness" which the other bands don't have any. Or it could be said that a band like Houkago Tea Time is very unique and totally different with the others. No wonder their first major debut has reached more than 10.000 copies of Fuwa Fuwa Time. Now they are still under Maesawa Hiroyuki Management and Sawako-sensei in charge to be their costume maker.

Yui, Mio, Ritsu, and Mugi are now in the 2nd year of college. They went to the same university as they'd planned at their high school back then. And so does Azusa. Azusa didn't force to attend a same high school as the rests of her senpais. It was her decision. And now, she is in the 1st year of college.

Five of them are live in the same apartment. It's fancy enough in front of ordinary people. There's a private studio music provided only for Houkago Tea Time's members. So they don't have to rent any, Their Apartment only a few blocks away from their university.

Talk about their college, Yui chose Faculty of Education, Science for Mio, Business for Ritsu, History for Mugi, and Art for Azusa. Although they chose a different faculty, it didn't mean that they don't need to meet up or gathering at their university. They have their own so-called 'base camp' at the cafeteria. The cafeteria staffs allow Mugi to serve their 'Tea Time' there. The reason why they only drink Mugi's tea is because they can't leave their routines and trademark of their band since high school.

"Oh, crap!" Mio looks at her watch as she fastens he steps. "It's late already. I bet everyone is waiting for me at the studio." She mumbled to herself.

It's true that it's almost 10.00 PM. She has just finished her last class. And now the atmosphere of the university is rather quiet and… scary. Mio just realized that she is the only one who walks in the corridors. She gulped nervously and fastens her steps again. But now she feels like someone is following her. She gets paranoid and sometimes takes a glance behind her.

Before she decided to run, someone pulls her hand and takes her into an empty room. Now the person holds Mio's mouth by hand and wrapping her body then closes the door.

Mio is trying to scream and let go of that person's sudden attack. But the person still calms and then shushes her.

"Ssshh… He probably hears us…"

Mio doesn't have any idea what is the person talking and doing about. Wait… I know who this person is! Mio talking to herself.

Mio could hear her own heartbeat and footsteps outside the room. And she could hear someone grumbling. "Tsk! Where did she go? Dammit!"

As the footsteps fading away, the person who was hugging Mio now loosen the wrap from her waist. "Just what the hell are you do… -ing?" She frowned after she looked at the person. "W-Who a-are y-y-you?" Now she is stuttering all of the sudden.

"It's meh…" The person brushes up her bangs. Mio can see her forehead shining in the dark. Mio stunned.

I can't realize it was Ritsu. I mean, I know it was her voice. But I can't recognize her with her bangs down. And… is it me, or now she has a same height with me? Mio thinks too much while she stunned.

"Oi, Mio!" Ritsu moves her hand ups and downs in front of Mio. "Don't tell me you're shocked because of my appearance tonight?" Ritsu grinned and started to tease Mio.

Mio got blushed in her face and then landed her fist in Ritsu's head. "Cut it out!" She yelled.

"Ow… Ow… Ow…" Ritsu groaned. "What was that for?"

"First of all, you've freaking me out by done a sudden such things. Secondly…" Mio stops her sentence and looked away "… d-don't act like you're a c-cool guy in front of me!" Mio hides her blush.

Ritsu smirked. "But I didn't act like one." Then another whack landed on her head.

"Keep teasing me or you'll receive any of this!" Mio clenched her fist.

"Ouch… At least you should thank me." Ritsu said with a little pout as she rubs her poor head.

Mio feels guilty to Ritsu. "I… I'm sorry…"

"Hey, I said you should thank me. Not to say sorry to me. Nah, whatever. I'm just glad I made it in time."

"What do you mean?" Mio gives Ritsu a frowned look.

Ritsu sighed and smiles to Mio. "I know you'll have an extra class today. So I decided to pick you up. But when I was going to approach you, I saw a strange guy stared at you since you were out from your class room. I have a bad feeling about that and it ended up like this. And I guess he is one of your fan club members." Ritsu explained the whole thing.

"B-but still… You don't have to do that." Mio pouted her mouth.

"Gosh, Mio… Don't be stubborn like that! Even if I don't want to do that, my instinct always moves by itself. Come on, do you think how long we've known each other?" Ritsu runs her right hand in front of Mio asking to grab hers. "Come on, everyone is waiting for us. Or do you want to stay here all night long?"

Once again, Mio gives Ritsu a frowned look. "Why do we have to holding hands?"

"Because I don't want you lose my track out of this campus and then taken by a strange- OW, OW, OW!" Ritsu didn't finish her last sentence because suddenly Mio grabs her hand tightly.

"Can we go now?" Mio gives a glare to Ritsu.

"Y-yes, 'Maam!" Ritsu saluted jokingly to Mio.

None of them start to talk while they're walking through all of their campus' corridors. Ritsu seems enjoying the moment. But in the other side Mio is blushing so badly beside her.

"T… Thanks…" Mio breaks the silence between them.

"Huh? For what?" Ritsu raised one of her eyebrow.

"For what you did to save me. I can't imagine what will happen if you weren't there to save me."

"Let's just say that you owe me one." Ritsu grinned.

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to do a favor…"

"W-what is it?"

"I'll tell you later after practice tonight at the roof."

"I'm just hoping that I won't hear a silly request from you there."

"Hmm… I guess…" Ritsu puts her hand under her chin. "It's a serious one."

What? A serious one? I've never seen her being serious after all this time. She always fooling, joking, and teasing around me. Should I believe her? Mio's mind talking.

Not taking too long, Ritsu and Mio arrived at their band's private music studio. As usual, Ritsu barging inside the studio. It's her behavior since she was in high school or even middle school.

"We're back!" Ritsu shouted after barging inside the studio.

"Sorry for taking so long." Mio apologize and closes the door.

"Welcome back Mio-chan, Ric-… chan?" Yui doubted that the person who came along with Mio isn't Ritsu. "Who is this guy? Don't tell me you already have a boyfriend, Mio-chan!"

"What the heck are you talking about, Yui? It's me!" Once again Ritsu brushes up her bangs and shows her shiny forehead. Mio face-palmed.

"Oh, it's you after all, Ricchan." Yui stared at Ritsu's forehead.

"What do you mean by 'after all'? Anyway, where are Mugi and Azusa?"

"Mugi-chan wants to make a tea and Azunyan said she'll help her. Oh, there they are!"

Mugi and Azusa just got inside the studio from another door which connected to a small kitchen. Both of Mugi and Azusa stunned for a while after seeing Mio came with a stranger.

"Mio-senpai…" Azusa's mouth gaping.

"Mio-chan… Who is he? Is he your boyfriend?" Mugi asked the same question which Azusa wanted to.

"Do I really have to rephrase my words and showing them my 'shiny forehead'?" Ritsu sweat-dropped then explained anything what had happened between her and Mio.

After one hour practicing and had a few cups of tea, they are started to excuse going to their own room. Their eyes and faces are look tired. Become a current shining star and a college student is sure gives them a hard time to manage.

"Hey, Mio! Let's…" When Ritsu is about to ask Mio, the black-haired girl suddenly lays her head on Ritsu's shoulder. Ritsu sighed in defeat. "I guess I'll tell her later." Ritsu smiled and lifted Mio up and takes to her own room. She chuckled and mumbled about Mio's weight.

"There 'ya go." Ritsu lays Mio down on her bedroom. "Phew… Finally." Ritsu puts a blanket on Mio. "Have a nice dream, Ms. Scardy Cat." Ritsu smiled and gives a light kiss on Mio's forehead then leaving Mio's room with a slight blush on her face.

It's 7.00 AM and the sun is shining outside. Slowly Mio opens her eyes and rubs them. After yawning, she realized that she is on her own bed. "How I ended up here?" Suddenly Mio got paranoid again and looks beside her. Nobody. Then she got up from bed and went to the living room. No one. She sighed in relief. "Maybe Ritsu and the others asked my bodyguard to bring me here last night." Then Mio went to the bathroom.

After preparing to go to their college, the Houkago Tea Time members decided to go together. It's been a long time they didn't go together to their campus. When they are arrived at the campus, they've got a strange looks from other student. Usually, when they arrive, the other students greet them warmly.

"Ri-Ritsu… What's going on here?" Mio said with a worried tone.

Ritsu gulped "No idea…"

Mio could hear some of male students saying "I wish I was that guy…" or "Dammit! She has a boyfriend already! I don't have any chances to be her boyfriend anymore!" Now it's Mio's turn to gulp. I have a bad feeling about this.

"Uh… senpais. Why are so many people over there?" Azusa pointed to a bulletin board which crowded by so many people.

Without anymore thought, five of them are approaching the crowd and try to see what the 'magnet' is. They're shocked when they read the tagline: "Hot News" and saw some pictures posted on the article. The pictures are about two persons, a black-long-haired girl and a brunette guy walking together with holding hands in the night.

"Oh, God… Now what's gonna happen?" Ritsu said as she slaps her own forehead.

Mio could only stunned when she read the title of the 'hot news'; "Houkago Tea Time's Beautiful Singer is already TAKEN"

-TBC (To Be Continued)-

How was the story? Bad? Sorry about that… And I think this story is a bit plain without any… ahem, you know, lemony part. But since the rate is T, I think I'll skip the part XD

And I was a bit confused about the title. I ended up with Hikasa Youko's (Mio's voice actress) song title.

All of the reviews are welcome. I know my English is sucks. Well, it's not my native language after all. But please bear with it.

Shall I give you a spoiler of the next chapter? X3

Okay, here I go.

Spoiler: Mio confused how to deal with all of her fans. Most of HTT fans are about to hate them because they thought that Mio has a boyfriend. But Ritsu has an idea to settle those things down.

Hahahaha. Not so good nor enough to be a spoiler. And I apologize in advance if the next chapter will be delayed due to my first semester of my college mid-term.

The reason why I pick a story about how Mio deal with her fans is because I was inpired by K-ON Japanese fans (especially males) who always doing such a stupid things when they know that one of K-ON's voice actress has a boyfriend.

And one thing, I've been hibernated in FFn. So I don't really know the newest rules here. If you don't mind, can you explain it?

Once again, I need your reviews. Thank you very much *bows*
