K-On!: Truth or Dare
Disclaimer:

Hello, and welcome to another K-ON fic, and here an idea popped into my head as I decided to do an experimental story which I felt is something new, and intriguing, which began a few weeks following New Year's Day, when I was re-watching the K-On anime that I stored in my tablet, and after watching the episodes where the light music club were having summer vacation and training camp, it inspired me to do a fanfic that has a summer theme.
Another source of inspiration is the so-called truth or dare, where it involves a group of teens doing a game, where the person who gets the mark (such as a spinning bottle whose tip marked the target) would either tell the truth or do a consequence. I felt that this might work with the light music club members. However, since I prefer the boy-girl pairing, I included Satoshi Tainaka here being that he is the only boy in the series.
And lastly, the main heroine in this story would be Tsumugi, as I find her cute and compatible, as well as complimenting the stark contrast with Satoshi.
Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Prologue
Sakuragaoka High. It was a typical day as classes is currently ongoing and things went well without problems, as the students are inside their classrooms, taking notes, some are listening to lectures, and others are at the field, attending PE classes. It was indeed a typical day and so far everything went smoothly for hours till late afternoon arrived.
There you can see that classes are over some of the students are leaving the school while others head for their respective clubs to attend club activities, which is a staple of extra-curricular activities that is part of Sakuragaoka High ever since the school started its operations.
The various clubs are now undergoing activities where its members are participating in various activities that is in line to that respective club. The clubs in question are identified as:
- Light Music Club
- Occult Club
- Tennis Club
- Judo Club
- Volleyball Club
- Mio Akiyama Fan Club
The scene shifts at the music room located at the 3rd floor of the school, where it houses the Light Music Club, and there you can see that Yui Hirasawa, 2nd year student, and Azusa Nakano, 1st year student, are currently the only club members to arrive, and there Azusa is giving Yui some lessons on maintaining the guitar and teaching her how to increase the guitar's performance.
After having her guitar worked on, Yui began to test-tune it, where it got a PERFECT PITCH, surprising Azusa, and she asked her senpai if she really know how to tune her guitar despite not having a tuner, in which Azusa wants to know if Yui is amazing or the opposite.
"P-perfect pitch?"
"Huh?"
"Yui-senpai…"
"What is it, Azu-nyan?"
"Do you really know how to pitch your guitar?"
"Well…"
"Are you..?"
"…"
By then, Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama, both 2nd year students, arrived, where you can see Mio feeling restless as she felt that she is being stalked, which Ritsu tells her to stop acting like a nervous wreck, reasoning that there are no suspicious persons inside the school, which Mio debunked, saying that she feels that someone is watching her every move.
Ritsu giggled and suggested that perhaps members of the Akiyama Fan Club are just watching her, which Mio begged Ritsu to do something about it, much to the drummer's exasperation, telling her to accept and accommodate her ADMIRERS, which Mio appeared hesitant to do so.
"Come on, Mio."
"Huh?"
"Accept it."
"About…?"
"Your admirers want to get close to you…"
"I rather not!"
"That's reality…"
"You're not helping, Ritsu!"
By then Tsumugi Kotobuki came in, and thus the Hokago Tea Time is completed, and the five members appeared to be ready for today's practice, yet problem persists as Mio begged Ritsu to do something about the perceived stalkers, which Ritsu reiterated that it could be the fan club members wanting to get a glimpse of Mio, which the bassist said that she does not want to entertain them as it would only bring more unwanted attention.
"Come on, Mio."
"Huh?"
"Accept it."
"Eh…?"
"Your admirers really admired you and want you to entertain them…"
"I rather not!"
"That's reality…"
"You're not helping, Ritsu!"
Azusa sweat-dropped at seeing her two senpai bicker, and asked Yui if they should try to stop the bickering, but Yui grinned as she finds entertainment in watching Mio begging for Ritsu to do something about the perceived stalkers and tells Azusa to let the scene play out.
Azusa was against it as it not only waste time, but also might cause conflict within the club, and now she and Yui began to bicker, as she wants to pacify Mio and Ritsu, but Yui wants to keep watching her two friends bicker for more.
"Yiu-senpai!"
"What?"
"We should pacify them!"
"Let's watch them bicker a little longer…"
"Are you really that…?"
"Nope…but it's fun to watch…"
"Yui-senpai!"
"…"
By then Tsumugi steps in and quelled off the situation before things worsen, and after that the band members began their practice, which went well and lasted for 30 minutes, and after that, Tsumugi said it's time to take a break.
As the others relaxed, Azusa was relieved as she gets to do some music practice, while Mio is glad things went well without incident, while Yui affectionately asks Tsumugi if she brought any snacks today, which the pianist said it will be ready in a while.
"Mugi-chan…"
"Yes…?"
"Did you brought some sweets today…?"
"Yup. They'll be ready in a while…"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Yummy!"
"Be a little patient, YUui-chan…"
At this point, an unexpected visitor came, which turns out to be Satoshi Tainaka, Ritsu's younger brother, aged 13, and he came here as Ritsu requested that he bring an item to her which he obliges, and there Ritsu thanked her younger brother while Mio greeted him and asked if he came here all the way from middle school, which he nodded.
"Satoshi…"
"Yes, Mio-san?"
"Did you came all the way here from your school…?"
"Yes."
"Thank you for your effort."
"It's nothing."
"Why not have tea with us?"
"Really…?"
Due to Ritsu and Mio being childhood friends since primary school, Mio knew Satoshi ever since he was born, so he is friends with her, but when Ritsu introduced Satoshi to the rest of the light music club, specifically Yui, Tsumugi and Azusa, he became somewhat shy, but bowed to them as courtesy, and there Tsumugi said that the tea and snacks are ready.
As everyone dig in, Satoshi stayed at the couch as he does not want to bother his elder sister and her friends having a club moment. However, Tsumugi sat beside him, offering him a cup of tea and some snacks, which Satoshi was a bit surprised, but at the same time he was drawn by her gentle demeanor and charm.
"Satoshi-kun."
"Huh?"
"Here…have a cup of tea and some snacks."
"Um…thanks."
"There's no need to be shy."
"W-well…"
"Let's get along. We're your sister's friends…and that makes you our friend."
"O-okay…"
Tsumugi then began a conversation with the younger boy, and with the way she spoke and how she handle the topic, Satoshi slowly loses some of his shyness and started to open up a little bit. She began to enjoy talking to Satoshi, mainly due to her being an only child while not having any male relative at her house other than her dad.
Likewise, Satoshi started to get drawn to her charm due to her gentle demeanor, which is a stark contrast to Ritsu's attitude, and mentally wondered what Ritsu is like if she has Tsumugi's personality. The rest of the light music club members secretly watched the scene, but Ritsu began teasing Satoshi of having a crush on Tsumugi, causing Satoshi to blush deeply and rebutted at his elder sister.
"Oh, Satoshi…"
"Huh?"
"So you like Mugi, huh?"
"Eh?"
"You got a crush on her…"
"Th-that's not…!"
"You like Mugi…so you have a thing for older girls…"
"Sh-shut up!"
Laughter echoed the music room until Mio interrupted to ease off the tension and announced that she is proposing a training camp, which Ritsu and Yui are all-ears, knowing that the venue would be at another of the Kotobuki villas, and they began airing suggestions about what to bring at the training camp and what to shop.
Mio rebutted and reminded the two that they are training and practicing, not goof around, which Azusa joined in and sided with Mio, urging her senpais not to goof around, but Yui and Ritsu began making lists of what to buy, prompting the four light music club members to bicker among themselves, seemingly forgetting that Tsumugi and Satoshi are there, listening.
"I say we're going to practice!"
"Mio-senpai is correct! Practice first!"
"We want to play!"
"We want to play!"
"Practice first!"
"Practice first!"
"We want to play!"
"We want to play!"
Satoshi sweat-dropped at seeing the scene, and sighed at seeing how silly Ritsu is acting, but then Tsumugi clapped her hands as she urged the others to simmer down and said that the training camp at her villa will push through, and tells Yui and Ritsu that there will be time of playing, but the time of practice is more important.
By then Tsumugi glanced at Satoshi and asked if he would like to come with the light music club, which the 13-year old boy stared in surprise, as this was the first time he is being invited to come to a summer camp from someone who is classmates with Ritsu.
He said he is unsure, yet Tsumugi said it is okay.
"Er…I don't know…"
"Why?"
"Well…it's just…"
"Don't mind it. I'm sure you'll like the villa…you get to swim…there's a video game console there…"
"R-really…?"
"Yes."
"Um…are you sure…?"
"Uh-huh."
Tsumugi asked Ritsu if it is okay, which the drummer thought about it till she said it is okay, stating that their parents will be out for at least four days and she doesn't want to leave Satoshi alone in the house, reasoning that she is considering his safety and well-being.
While Satoshi said he does not mind being alone at the house for four days, Ritsu retorted saying that all he is going to is play video games and that he will play at dusk till dawn, which he rebutted, saying he is not going to do that, but his elder sister said that it would be good for him to come along at the villa near the beach as it would make him appreciate nature.
Satoshi is unsure but Ritsu teases him saying that it would be good to see sexy girls in bikini, causing the 13-year old boy to blush and started to bicker with his elder sister.
"Oh, Satoshi…"
"Huh?"
"Tag along with us."
"Eh?"
"You'll appreciate it…you'll get to see sexy girls in bikini…"
"Th-that's not…!"
"I'm betting you like to see Mugi in a bikini…which means you have a thing for older girls…"
"Sh-shut up!"
