Well hey there! This is my first try at a K-On! fanfic and I hope you enjoy!

Not sure if these two have feelings for each other or if they just have a close friendship. Either way I decided to write something that never says they have a romantic interest but at the same time doesn't deny it. It's pretty much up to you to decide which is which.

I do not own K-On! which is sort of good because if I did Yui would eat everything in my house and beg for more.

Mio does not like to be the center of attention.

When Mio was young she had been content with being called the quiet bookworm. Once they saw her nose in a book, smiling all the while, they left her alone. Nobody like her was special.

But the sudden probing of Ritsu changed that. Because of Ritsu, she was no longer smiling at books but at her. She was actually using her mouth to speak, and suddenly not only books but music had become a very important factor in her life. As Ritsu lovingly put it "she got a life".

And when Mio Akiyama "got a life" she no longer looked so bland anymore. In fact, with her finely shaped eyes, sweet smile, and appealing figure, well, she was looking quite attractive.

She should put the blame all on Ritsu really. It was her who coaxed the late bloomer to finally blossom. She thinks, no she's positive she'd be less interesting to her classmates, get less flustered, and keep her pretty voice and bass playing skills to herself, if it had not been for the hyper girl. She wouldn't have all these admirers who (maybe it was her imagination because she did go overbroad, she had to admit that) undressed her when they looked at her, longing to her a word or two from the ever wonderful Mio Akiyama.

But Mio Akiyama wasn't all that! She didn't understand how come they didn't remember the shy book loving weirdo from elementary school. She was still Mio, still her. No one could change that.

No one except…

There came Ritsu jogging down the hallway, a loopy grin on her face. She waved a piece of paper in her hand and skidded into a messy halt. "Guess what?" she announced with a sense of pride. "I forgot to fill out the forms again!"

Suddenly all of Mio's sulking about unwanted attention seemed to slowly float away. Ritsu was loud, brash, teased the heck out of her, and was plain ridiculous. But she was also her friend, her dearest friend in the world no matter how much she denied it. She had understood her and made her smile, open up. Ritsu knew despite the directness and "coolness" Mio had gained over the years, Mio was still Mio, and if no one else remembered that, she always would. With a highly not amused expression on her face, Mio hit the girl on the head despite the happy feeling this revelation had given her. Inside she's smiling.

Besides sometimes change was good.
