I come bearing a shojo-ai K-ON fanfic.
During one afternoon rehearsal at the light music room, the five girls played their instruments with practiced ease. Ritsu hit the drumheads with her innate rhythm while watching Mio pluck the thick bass strings, sweat dripping down her forehead. Every member of the light music club was swept away by their own music, except for Ritsu.
She watched her childhood friend's butt sway with the melody of the song. Ritsu heard the loud reverb of the bass and that was her cue to start the complicated roll that she developed especially for that song.
Ritsu struck the drums with precision that she practiced since middle school. It came so naturally for her that she did not need to concentrate; all she thought about was Mio and her bass. She was on the verge of beating the cymbals. She did, quite loudly, and it shocked her, sending her to the floor.
"Oof!" She yelped, her head colliding with the floor.
"Ricchan!" Yui exclaimed, turning towards the fallen drummer. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine~!" Ritsu replied, sitting up while rubbing the back of her head. She glanced up at Mio who was looking at her with eyes brimming with worry.
"I'm fine Mio, so get that look off your face, okay?" She said with a flashy grin. Mio nodded in affirmation and they resumed practice. Thankfully, Ritsu did not zone out anymore.
After eating the cakes that Mugi brought, they all packed up their belongings to go home. Ritsu hummed Light and Fluffy Time as she waited for Mio to finish gathering her things.
Midterms were fast approaching as it was paired up with winter break as the fruits of their endeavours. Mio, with her bag filled with notebooks and textbooks, her winter coat as well as her bass guitar made it difficult to move. Not to mention the slippery sidewalk.
"Here," Ritsu said while offering her hand out. "Give me your bag."
Mio sighed in relief. "Thanks Ritsu."
She grinned and rubbed her nose. "No problem."
Mio and Ritsu bade goodbye to Yui and Azusa who remained in the clubroom for more practice. They fell into pace with one another as they walked into the cold winter wind.
"Ritsu," Mio hummed with her musical voice that Ritsu cannot get enough of. "What were you thinking about when you fell over during practice today?"
I can't say 'your cute butt' now, can I? "I… was just thinking how hard I have to study for midterms! Yeah, that's it, midterms!" Ritsu exclaimed, flinching at the way her voice seemed so fake. Mio scrunched her nose at the obvious lie that she just said but allowed the topic to rest.
They stopped before the house that had the nameplate 'Akiyama'. Mio waved at Ritsu before entering. The brown-haired girl had her hand up midway as she watched the long-haired girl's retreating back. She felt a tug at her chest but chose to ignore it as she thought of the possible changes that her innate emotions will bring across her way.
