I don't own K-On or any of the characters!
Trust me, if I did, there would be tons more yuri fanservise! ;D
"…Listen!"
I put down my drums sticks as soon as I heard the last words of our latest song escape the lips of my dearest friend. She let out a light sigh and then proceeded to turn around and congratulate the band for a job well done. I have to say we played fairly well today, though I was the best by far, as usual!
Yui put down her guitar, Gitah, and jumped up with her arms in the air and yelled "Yay, now it's time for cake!". I joined her in the celebration, since all this practicing was making me a bit hungry. Mio and Azusa groaned, but we all knew that this would come, the time of the day when we all laze around eating sweets and drinking tea.
We sat around the table after Mugi passed everything out. I took a few bites of my strawberry cake. After every bite, I looked up from my plate, gazing at Mio when I knew she wasn't looking my way. She stuck a fork in her cake, raised it to her mouth and swallowed. I never knew I could be so fascinated by watching some girl eat…wait…she wasn't just any girl, she meant more to me than that, a lot more. Should I even be thinking this, I thought. My thoughts came to a halt when I saw something white and fluffy place itself by Mio's lips.
"Mio!" I called out, then making a gesture to the side of my mouth.
"What, Ritsu?" She gave me a confused look. I grabbed a napkin and reached over the table and wiped off the icing, till her face was clean again. "Hehe, looks like you made a little mess, it's a good thing I was here to come to the rescue."
She backed away from me, snapped, and buried her face in her hands, "Don't call it a mess, it's embarrassing"! It's so- it's so cute when she's angry. I couldn't help but smile.
"It's not my fault, you're still like a little kid, Mio!" I let out a slight chuckle, it's just so fun to tease her.
"Hmph, you're one to talk!", she mumbled. After a moment of only hearing the sounds of the members chewing and sipping, Mio spoke. "What time is it?" she asked, without actually wanting us to answer her. She takes out her cell phone and checks the time, then quickly stands up. "Sorry you guys, but I have to go!" I had a heavy feeling in my heart, I didn't want to see her leave.
"Why so soon?", Mugi asked sounding a bit concerned.
"Yea, what's wrong Mio?", Azusa said seeming just as concerned as Mugi.
"Nothing's wrong, I just promised my parent's that I would help them pack. They're going to be out for a couple of days, so I'm helping them get ready before they go". I let out a sigh of relief, I was glad she was staying home and not leaving with her parents. Wait a second, Mio will be home alone? This gives me an idea! My heart started to race. Maybe, just maybe I can think of a way to get Mio and I alone, just her and I, at her house.
"Well, you better get going!" I started to push her over to the door. She shoved me off of her and waved goodbye to everyone and left. I knew that I had to think of something, something that could get me alone with Mio. A trick perhaps? But, what exactly?
"Ugh…!", I groaned aloud to myself. I saw a can laying around and kicked it, since I had nothing better to put my anger out on. "…I can't think of anything to do to Mio!", I complained, as I slowly walked by myself to school. I couldn't think of a single trick that I hadn't pulled already; specifically one I could use to get Mio to want me to stay over. I gave the can a few more kicks till I looked down and spotted a small creature roaming by my feet. I kneeled down and gave it a closer look. It was a lizard, small and green with a small black stripe on its back, that went down to the tip of it's tail. He was a cute little guy; I decided I didn't want to leave him there, so I picked him up.
"Hmm, what to do with you", I thought. "Oh, I know! I have a little box I can keep you in.", I put the little lizard down next to me, luckily for me he didn't budge or make any effort to escape, and opened up my backpack. I took out a small little box that was just big enough for him to fit in, at least until I could find him a better place to hang out.
The more I walked, the closer and closer I got to Mio's house. I still hadn't the faintest idea of what I would do, and it was almost time for her parents to leave. As of now, I figured Mio had left without me, seeing as how I woke up a bit late and she surely wasn't going to wait for me, so it would have been pointless to stop at her house. Well, at least I had the lizard to keep me company. I opened up the box and he gazed up at me, I looked back at him and sighed, not because of him, but because I knew that I still hadn't thought of what to do about Mio. I closed the box. Right when I was about to but it away an idea rushed to my brain. I opened it back up again and laughed. "I think I just thought of an idea.", I said to the clueless reptile.
I now was just a block away from her home. My heart started to beat faster, which was silly since I wouldn't even see Mio till I got to school. I reached her home and stood in front of the door and raised my hand to get ready to knock. However, before my fist reached the door it opened.
"Ritsu? What are you doing here?" , asked the women standing at the door. It was Mio's mother. Without waiting for me to answer, she said, "You're too late, Mio has already lef-". I cut her off, "Oh, that's okay, I just wanted to drop off a gift…a surprise actually." She gave me a quizzical look and then asked, "Why would you bring it here? Can't you just give it to her when you see her at school?". I like Mio's mother, don't get me wrong, but she was starting to bug me with all the questioning. "Well, it would be a much better surprise if she found it here, at home." She stared at me for a moment, before she could say anything a shout came from the living room from Mio's father, he stated that he was ready to go, so Mio's mother gave in so she could get rid of me faster and let me go up to Mio's room to drop off her so called gift. To not anger her parents anymore then they might already have been, I did my best to do what I came here for, as speedy as possible. Within a few moments, I got the job done and left. I was positive that after this, Mio would be begging me to stay with her tonight.
So, how was it? I really hope that Ritsu isn't too out of character, I feel like I should have made her less calm and more eccentric... Please forgive me, I'm not the best writer in the world, but I tried my best. Reviews too help me in the future are very appreciated, comments on the story will inspire me to write quicker too. ;3
Expect 1 or 2 more chapters. I was actually planning on just making this a one-shot, but I thought maybe I should put more time into the story, since I came up with this within a few minutes by collecting my ideas onto a page full of little notes for me to follow as I wrote.
About the story: Hehe, I know the trick is a bit obvious, but like I said, I'm not good at this stuff. ^_^' I was tempted to title this story "It's a Trap", but I refrained. xD
