Ritsu's POV

"Can you stop that, Ritsu?" She let out a groan escaped her mouth softly. "You said you'll be studying for exams!"

"I am studying, I'm just got bored so I stopped reading for a moment now~"

"You're only checked its cover and then put it aside on the floor." I kept silent, until she turned her head to me. "At least you can stop staring at me, because it really distracted me."

To be honest, you're the one who distracted my eyes from the very start. "I guess I'll be home now... T-thanks for helping me, Mio. Bye!~" I shut Mio's door quite hardly, my heart thumping so fast that I almost thought it might blow inside me.

I've been feeling weird whenever Mio got near me. I felt less harmful at her and not to mention I'm acting quite nicely at her.

Everything's started after that lyric Mio sent to me that I mistook it as a love-letter. I can't help but keep observing the letter even more, to ever thought that Mio swing that way was quite...

...impossible.

Mio's POV

Staring, keep silent and doing nothing.

Yeah, this is Friday-Night and if this rain didn't gone mad, I believe right now I supposed to be at the theater watching whatever movie there. Right, I could only stare at the rain outside my window pouring down, as I let my lap being my companion's pillow.

"Great, bad timing, Rain" I muttered under my breath, it's low enough that I can make sure my companion can't hear it so clearly.

My so-called companion shrugged a bit, "It's always for the better..."

I sighed, "Yeah..." Looking down at my companion, then back to staring at the rain. "...Better" I repeated. Soon, the sound of the rain drifting me off to my deepest thoughts.

This is me, a very shy girl, a scaredy-cat and also naive if people haven't notice it yet. Why did I called myself naive? It's because I'm so tired of denying the fact that I'm not a perfect daughter for my family. I'm a straight-A student, believe it or not, right now I have my own fanclub and it's because of a certain incident that happened on my band's first performance at the school's festival.

Okay, I absolutely don't want to talk about that. Back to the thing, back to the reason why I'm being so naive. The main reason is because I am not normal, why? Because I fall for my own best-friend. Oh yeah right, falling in love with your best-friend is not an abnormal thing or at least a bad thing, but it's as long as it's a Boy-to-girl relationship.

Good guess, my best-friend is a girl. Named, Tainaka Ritsu.

I keep telling myself, 'I'm normal, I'm normal, I'm normal' but then everytime she's near me, I started to act like those girls in my Shoujo manga whenever they saw their so-called lovers, correction, Boys. My face started to heating up, I keep talking so stuttering and more spacing out when I fall into her trap. Yeah, her eyes, her amber-eyes were a trap for me.

Weirdly, these days, I feel like Ritsu's being softer than usual. My friends keeps worrying me, since I don't act as myself this week and whenever I start off something out of the blue, she's always cover me up. Or maybe I'm the one who being softer because I usually hit her on the head whenever she's slacking off, but now, these days, she's less stupid than usual.

I wonder what is it... No, that's not what I'm wondering about.

It's this feeling, what would it be if I tell her? Or if she finds out about it?

"Mio," She called me out, snapping me back to reality.

Ritsu's POV

I shrugged and stared at my best-friend. It's kinda odd seeing Mio doesn't even bothered when I stare at her for more than five-seconds. I decided to call her out, "Mio,"

She jumped a bit, "H-huh? Did I woke you up?" She asked curiously, more like worriedly. Gee, this is what I'm worried about this week. She's been acting so awkwardly nice to me.

"Nah," I shook my head a bit. "Stop worrying about me, because right now, I'm kinda worried about you," I got up from her lap, then laid myself beside her on the couch.

Mio looks nervous, and I'm just really curious why did she act like this. Especially around me. I mean, it's not like I was gonna hurt her or anything. "W-what?" She said, stuttering.

"Tell me, did something bothering your mind?" I asked, hoping she'll answer me straight forward now. Two days ago, I asked the same thing, but she said, she just tired of studying.

"No," She shook her head in denial. "There's nothing bother my mind, I'm just-"

"Tired?" I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes. "You gave me that answer two times already, Mio. Don't lie to me," I begged at her. I really don't like being lied, well, no one does! Especially, she's my best-friend and we had a deal to be open to each other. Now look what she's done, I knew she's not telling me the truth. Could it be so bad that she can't even tell me?

Mio sighed, "I'm not lying, and this week is just so tiring until it made me..."

"Until it made you spaced out too much?" I finished her sentence. Just FYI, that I am Tainaka Ritsu, obviously, Akiyama Mio's best-friend and I know almost all the things going on in her mind. Except for now.

Mio doesn't give any more response after me, she laid her head on my shoulder. "Can we just let it go? I'm-"

"Stop saying 'Tired', because right now, I'm also tired seeing you like this" I cut her off again, and one more odd thing, that she didn't hit me for cutting her words twice.

Or is it because I tell the truth and she felt a bit guilty about it? Hope that one was right. "Okay," She nodded slowly.

Now, I'm just gotta ask her something. "Ne Mio," She shrugged, a sign for me to keep going. "I need some love-advice, can you give me some?" I could feel she flinched when I said that.

"L-Love-advice? Does this means that y-you're..." She stopped a bit, "...in love with s-someone?"

"Uh-huh," I nodded eagerly, "...Uh... Maybe you think it's a guy, but no. It's a girl, I'm in love with a girl" There, I just told her that I'm a lesbian indirectly.

She seemed hesitant, then opened her mouth to say something but then decides not to. Mio took a deep breath, "I'm... Happy for you, Ritsu" What? Happy for me? It's not a joke, right?

I feel like punching myself, but not yet. "Well, thanks! So uh, about the advice...?"

"Yeah," Mio forced a smile on her face, which making me aching inside. "Just ask then" She said, looking away from me.

"Well, I'm planning to confess, this Sat-Night at the Amusement Park. When we're riding the carousel. Does that sounds good?"

She went silent for a moment, making me frowned at her. Not long, she looked up to me and again... giving me that forced smile. "It's perfect"

A/N: I bet y'all thinks about my other un-finished stories. Well, don't worry, cause I'm not gonna abandoned those stories. It's just that, I kept this story long enough and I guess it's a good time to release it! XD
