Summary: Everyday was the same for the Light Music Club till one faithful day. Mio had been confessed to by a guy of the same grade but she rejected him right away. But then more and more guys started to confess to her. The black-haired bass player had a reason to reject them, all due to the past. She looks for her best friend, Ritsu, as well as the Light Music Club for advice.

P.S.: This story's plot might not be as well-made as 'A Drummer & A Bassist' 'cuz it came into my mind out of thin air. But still, I seriously hope you enjoy it. There'll be OCs, but the story mainly emphasizes on Mio and well, Ritsu. This story, once again, may or may not be a Mio x Ritsu story.

K-On!: Eien no Nakamatachi

#1: Confession & Rejection

"I'm sorry…!"

"Oh… it's alright. I understand, Akiyama-san…"

A familiar black-haired bassist bowed after apologizing to a guy who was around her age. She was holding a letter at that time and obviously, it was a love letter from the guy in front of her. They were at the school's park at that time.

He then left, after being rejected by Mio, leaving her alone at the park. She sighed and decided to go but before she could, a group of boys was running towards her. Some of them had a 'Mio Akiyama Banzai!' bandanna tied around their heads.

Shocked, Mio started to run away, "Y-You've got to be kidding me!!!" she exclaimed as she ran into the classroom building and through the hallways.

Nodoka saw her running and wanted to stop her but the group of boys ran past her, blocking her road. All she could do was sigh and let it slide for now.

As Mio was running, she saw Ritsu walking towards her class while whistling a melody. She immediately grabbed her and continued running.

"WAAH!" exclaimed the shocked Ritsu, "M-MIO?!"

"Please…! You've gotta help!" said Mio while running in full speed. She was getting tired.

Ritsu then looked behind the both of them and saw the group of boys chasing after Mio, "Whoa! Are they from your fanclub? 'Cuz it sure seems like it!" and she grinned.

Mio wanted to hit Ritsu hard on the head but decided to let it slide, "Ritsu! There's no time for stuff like that! We're skipping class and heading right away to the clubroom!"

"EH?! Mio, the perfectionist and professional, Akiyama's gonna skip classes?! Yahoo!" exclaimed Ritsu sarcastically with a smirk.

"Oh just shut up! You're wasting my breath talking to you!!!" yelled Mio.

After a while, they successfully arrived at the clubroom. Ritsu locked the door from the inside and the group of boys was unable to continue their pursuit. All they could do was knock the clubroom door till recess ends.

Ritsu and Mio immediately leaned onto the door and slide onto the floor. Mio then placed her head onto Ritsu's right shoulder and tried to catch her breath, but was way too tired from all that running.

"W-We're safe… right, Ritsu…?" asked Mio, still trying to catch her breath.

Ritsu nodded and finally was able to breathe normally, "Yeah… but man, what's up with them? Did they decide that this is one of those club activities?"

Mio then sat up straight, "N-No… it's because someone confessed to me…" said Mio blushing, finally breathing properly.

Ritsu was shocked yet again, "EH??!! SERIOUSLY?!"

Mio nodded and took the letter out from her pocket. She then opened it and gave it to Ritsu.

Ritsu read everything and began laughing like mad all of a sudden after reading the whole thing.

"W-What's so funny, Ritsu?!" exclaimed Mio while blushing.

"I-It's funny 'cuz of the way he wrote about you! "My heart pounds whenever I see you, your black hair sways in the wind, you're an ultimate beauty, go out with me"? HAHA!!!" Ritsu ended up laughing even more after finishing.

RING~……

The school bell finally rang and the noise and vibration of the door died down. Ritsu and Mio stood up and went to the club's meeting table. Mio ended up being the one making the tea since Tsumugi wasn't around. She was the so-called 'backup' for the tea server princess.

"Here's your tea, Ritsu," she said as she placed the tea cup onto a saucer on the table and sat opposite of Ritsu.

"Oh thanks, Mio," she then took her cup of tea and took a sip. After that, she placed her tea cup back on its saucer and looked at Mio, "It's your first time skipping with me huh?"

"Yeah, I guess…" Mio cackled, "Putting classes aside, what should I do, Ritsu…? I can't say "I reject" to everyone, can I?" said the worried 'victim'.

"Then just accept one of them or something and go out with that someone!"

"But… I can't. Ever since THAT incident… I can't and WILL NOT fall in love with anyone," said Mio with a sad tone of voice.

"Oh? You won't even fall in love with me?" asked Ritsu with a teasing voice while posing as a cool girl.

Mio then hit her hand that was placed on the table HARD and Ritsu yelled in pain.

"HEY! It hurts! I can't play the drums now!"

"… Then please be serious, stupid Ritsu…" Mio then sighed after feeling annoyed.

"OK OK. Then why can't you just forget about THAT incident? I mean, well… you should've grown outta it by now right?" asked Ritsu, rubbing her injured hand.

"Yeah but… I can't forget about it for some reasons… I just… don't know why."

What's this 'incident' they're talking about? This takes them back to the past. Find out next!

Author's notes:

I LOL-ed at the title of my story 'cuz to me, it was random. This story mainly talks about Mio's 'unknown' past, not known from the anime and her character might be way~ off, so please don't mind. Also, please don't mind me using my OCs! They aren't vital in the storyline anyway. Please R & R too!
