Hello everyone, and welcome to my first K-ON! (and Yuri) Fanfiction. I'm begging to think my older brother likes Yuri because he watches a bunch of anime with groups of girls. xD
Disclaimer: I do not own K-ON!, or Ritsu, or Mio.
Be aware that this story's mood will change. For instance, it can be angst-y and then change into humor in the next chapter. It will all make sense, but I am warning you.
Enjoy!
"Look, Mio, I'm sorry!" I apologized a few moments after I realized what I'd said.
My words had been overly harsh; I shouldn't have called her a wimp. Now look what I've done! She's a sobbing mess, and it's all my fault...
"J-J-Just leave me a-a-alone!" Mio hiccuped, clutching her stomach and doubling over as she sobbed relentlessly.
I bowed my head in shame and guilty feelings washed over me as I exited the room. I could still hear Mio's loud and forlorn sobs through the wooden frame.
"And we're best friends..." I muttered to myself, cringing when I heard Mio cry out in anguish and hurt.
I'd really done it this time. Why did I have to say something so stupid?! So idiotic?! I just had to open my big old mouth and say something hurtful, didn't I!
"You've really done it now, Ritsu!" I snapped at myself, tears springing to my eyes.
I quickly wiped them away, not wanting to give myself any sympathy. After all, I'd just been so cruel to Mio, why did I deserve to let any emotion other than self-hatred show?
"Ritsu?" I heard Yui's familiar squeaky voice ask from behind me, and I had to hold myself back in order to not snap at her.
"Not now, Yui." I sighed, imagining the face of confusion and slight hurt that must've crossed Yui's face.
She'd understand the moment she set foot in the music room, so there was no need for me to tell her.
I heard her shoes begin clacking on the wooden floor once again and I quickly rushed down the stairs.
-Ritsu and Mio -
"You're home, Ritsu!" My mother exclaimed cheerily. I rolled my eyes and threw myself onto the couch unceremoniously.
"What's wrong?" She asked, her voice full of concern. She began to approach me, but I quickly sat up.
"Nothing, mom." I drawled back in reply. A sudden feeling of sickness overcame me and I ran upstairs, throwing myself on the floor as I hurled into the toliet.
Wiping my mouth with a towel and flushing the disgusting mess down the toliet, I exited the room and headed to my own room.
It was covered in pictures of drums, singers, and everything else I'd ever loved.
Including Mio.
There were pictures of her and me hugging from our elementary school days to middle school days, and even a few recent pictures from last month.
I smiled slightly at them and plucked one off of the wall.
It was from when we'd first met. I was grinning as Mio huddled in the corner, afraid of the movie we were watching.
The feeling in my stomach returned and I rushed back into the bathroom, but all I could do was heave dryly.
My stomach had emptied all of its contents previously, so I patiently waited for my dry heaving to come to a stop.
Finally, I stood up and went back downstairs, only to see both my parents looking at me with very worried expressions.
But before I could reassure them, they spoke before I could.
"Ritsu...I heard you throwing up, honey." My mom spoke first, and she sounded near tears, like I had some sort of disease or something.
"I just ate something bad at lunch, that's all." I explained, smiling offhandedly. "No need to worry."
My parents looked relieved at this, though my mother still had a glint of disbelief in her eyes. I couldn't blame her; she was a mother and had the right to be worried.
But I was fine.
Wasn't I?
"If you need anything..."
I rolled my eyes and laughed, "Yeah yeah, just say something. I know."
They both smiled sadly and I saw them watch me enter the kitchen in order to grab a snack. It was then I heard them beginning to talk about me.
I paused in slicing my apple and listening attentively.
"Do you think she's...?" My mother sounded worried again. Why?
"Anoroxic? Possibly..." My father sounded troubled as well. Once again, I couldn't understand-
Wait, what?!
Why on earth would they think that I'd be anoroxic?! I'd never been bullied enough to do that to myself! Heck, if anything it was me being the bully!
My heart sank at the thought.
Mio's heart wrenching sobs rung in my ears once more, and I found myself slowly feeling sickened and hot.
The last thing I heard was "Ritsu!" before darkness overtook me.
"Wake up, sweetie." I heard a kind, but unfamiliar voice say sweetly.
I opened my eyes, granting the mysterious voice's wish, only to find myself starring up into the face of a doctor.
She looked pleased at my awakening and immediately called in my parents, who looked joyously in my direction.
"What was wrong?" My dad asked, smiling as he watched my mom hug me.
"I think she's stressed, or feels a great deal of remorse." The woman explained, and she smiled when I widened my eyes in surprise.
"Is that true, Ritsu?" My mom asked worriedly, looking my straight in the eyes and cupping my face lovingly.
"Yeah..." I muttered, finding no reason to not tell them so.
"What's wrong?" All three adults in the room asked in unison.
I shook my head. "Me and Mio...got into some kind of a fight...and, I called her something I shouldn't have."
I let my head fall onto my chest in shame, unable to meet anyone in the room's eyes.
To my surprise, my mother spoke first.
"Well, you can't change the past, but you can change the future, right?" She said soothingly, petting my brown hair.
I nodded and smiled, hugging her back.
"How about we get Mio an I'm-Sorry bracelet, mmm?"
I laughed, "Mom, I'm not in elementary school anymore!"
My mother gasped in mock surprise. "Oh my goodness! She's all grown up!"
We all laughed together as the doctor handed my parents a perscription for some pills -should the attacks happen again- and soon, we were on our way home.
Little did I know, this was going to be one of the biggest adventures I'd ever had. Not just for me, but for Mio as well.
The ending is horrible, I know. But please bear with me because the story will get better within the next chapter when stuff starts happening!
Oh, and please don't feel offended if you and/or someone you know is anoroxic. I am sorry to hear that if you are, and I'm sorry if you're bullied.
I go through the same thing Ritsu does (at least in this fic) and aside from the throwing up and pills, I have stomach aches and/or head aches do to stressing myself out for various reasons.
Hence where I got it from.
Please comment, it brightens my stomach-cramp filled day!
