[This is my first time writing a story about a ship that isn't explicitly cannon in the show (although Mitsu is absolutely implied cannon) so please be nice, however if you have anything to say about the story, please do leave a review, and if you like what I've written here, I'm just about to post a new chapter of "Nobody is Safe", an Orange fanfiction about mental health and how it distorts reality horrifically for those who suffer. Anyways without further ado, the first chapter of my Mitsu fanfiction.]

Mio's Perspective

'If only I could have that.' Thats all Mio could think while sat on her couch with her best friend of 10 years, watching the romantic comedy film that she'd insisted on instead of the horror gore film Ritsu had picked, clearly to tease her. The film was about two friends who grew closer and eventually start dating at the end of the film.

It was no accident that they ended up watching this specific film, infact Mio had intended for them to watch this film no matter what. She'd watched it countless times, each time more and more painful as she knew, no matter what she did, her love for Ritsu would never be returned.

"Mi~o!" The brunette stared Mio in the eyes. "The film's over! You've just been staring at the credits for about 10 minutes."

She looked at the girl, shining before her. 'I guess I can only dream. There's no way anything more will happen between us.' Embarrased after drifting from reality, she shyly responded, "Sorry. I zoned out."

Ritsu's Perspective

"It's getting pretty late and we have school tomorrow anyways, so we should get to bed soon." Mio blushed as she turned to walk upstairs. Ritsu couldn'd help but notice her friend's long, black hair sway as she turned. Ritsu could feel her face turn bright red. She shook her head quickly to calm herself.

'That was bad. I clearly didn't notice but that movie was a lot like how I feel' she thought to herself, 'For a second I thought I was in the movie.' Recently Ritsu's feelings for Mio had grown stronger, and over the last few times she'd been to Mio's house, it had became harder and harder to restrain herself.

Ritsu sighed as her head hit the pillow, "Today was exhausting for some reason. Sawako-sensei seemed to be really happy today. Maybe she finally found a boyfriend" Mio chuckled at her remark.

Looking over at the black haired beauty on the other side of the bed. 'I love you... so much... could this be my chance to ask?' she took a deep breath and asked, "Hey, Mio? Do you have a crush on anyone?"

Mio's Perspective

'Huh? Why's she asking that now?!' Embarassed and afraid she'd find out her secret, Mio could only muster a simple

"Mhm" in response.

"Do they go to our school?" the drummer continued. 'She's probably just trying to tease me... it seems like something she'd do'

"Y-Yeah..."

"Really?! You like girls?!" Ritsu laughed nervously.

"W-what about you?"

"Ehh?!" She was clearly startled by the sudden question, "Ehh... Y-Yeah... And s-she goes to our school."

'Did Ritsu just stutter? Also Ritsu likes a girl?!' Concerned about her usually confident friend sounding shaken, she decided to ask about it, "Ritsu... Is something bothering you?"

"Eh?!" Ritsu turned to face Mio lightning fast. Clearly

"I-I-I mean-! I-It's just because you were stuttering and you sounded nervous... when you're usually so confident and careless... I-It's fine if you dont want to say."

"N-no its fine I'll tell you..." Ritsu took a breath, sat up, faced Mio and seemed like she was about to make an important speech.
