Prompt 4. A story about three siblings (Sort of)
A/N: I'm kind of rusty with writing, but this sort of wanted to get out, so I figured why not?
Also, the week thing is hella off because it's been ages since I started this LOL... (it's me being silly tho so ignore me pls)
There'll be a bigger AN at the bottom... so I'll shush now. :)
Out of the five of them (herself obviously not included), Ritsu considered two of the girls her siblings. Why? Well, Mio was kind of- okay, not kind of, but actually her fiancé who she was gonna marry in less than an hour and Azusa was sort of her sibling, but she was dating one of her compadres so she sorta didn't count either.
That just left Mugi and Yui.
Her fellow musketeers, the bread and jelly to her peanut butter, the two missing amigos, the- Okay, she was taking it a bit far, but the point was made. The heiress and the airhead, the airhead and the heiress... Ritsu loved the two of them to death and she knew she'd support them in whatever they did.
They were a lot more like than the each of them thought. It showed in the late nights when they'd be up playing video games in their shared apartment while Azusa and Mio sat in the other room reading or drafting up new song ideas.
On a scale of 'usefulness', it'd have to be 'Moogs, Ricchan, and then Yui'. Though on a scale of most likely to get one of them injured via some ridiculous adventure, it'd be 'Ritsu, Yui, Mugi'. Even Mugi was prone to making silly choices when she was influenced by the two of them.
Maybe the three were brought together because they shared two vowels in their name or maybe it was that they'd met in a past life. No matter the reason, the two nerds were her absolute closest friends and though they would never replace her actual family, she spent so much more time with them than the Tainakas that they basically could be if they weren't already.
It was no wonder Yui had confided in them when she had been nervous about asking Azusa out. Though Ritsu and Mugi had been watchful enough of their situation to know that their kouhai harbored feelings for her too.
When it'd come to Mio, It'd been trickier. Mugi hadn't been sure, but Yui had known. She'd laughed Ritsu's concerns away and that had been the end of that.
Sometimes Ritsu felt bad that Mugi didn't have a 'companion' of her own, but the blonde had confided to her that their camaraderie was enough.
That wouldn't stop Ritsu though, but if all the heiress wished for was for their family to stay close well, Ritsu would do anything to ensure that.
Though the three of them met in an unconventional manner, Mugi and Yui were family and as she fiddled with the sleeves of her wedding dress, she knew that Mio and Azusa would be fully tied into that soon. Soon being approximately less than a minute...
"Ready Ritsu?"
A nod from her and Satoshi smiled at her as her mother fiddled with her hair.
"Oh dear, we are running late," her mother mumbled.
"Stop fussing with my hair, you're gonna mess it up and then Mio will kill me," Ritsu groaned and batted her mother's hand away.
"Alright, ready to head out then?" her father asked.
Ritsu took a deep breath in and smiled.
"It's now or never," she said confidently.
She'd be lying if she said she wasn't nervous as hell.
Her father held his arm out to her. When she took it, they walked over to the door. Her brother and mother pushed out in front of them and opened the doors. Once they parted, Ritsu caught sight of everyone.
Sawako sat with her husband and some of the members of Death Devil. Yui and Mugi (aka her bridesmaids') stood beside each other with matching outfits. Yui had a wide grin on her face and couldn't stop from waving at her; meanwhile Mugi smiled politely, but had that familiar gleam in her eyes that made Ritsu hope she had a napkin somewhere on her person in case of an impending nosebleed.
As members of Mio's 'best men', Azusa stood with Nodoka. They looked at her brightly, yet at the same time, Ritsu didn't miss Azusa's eyes flickering over to her bridesmaid. At that Ritsu had to suppress a snicker.
Her eyes then landed on her RoMio. Surprisingly her girly childhood friend had stated that she would take the role of the 'man' on their wedding and while everyone had laughed, Ritsu had known it was her fiance's way of assuaging her fears of her diminished femininity.
The look her best friend was giving her made her throat run dry. Those beautiful grey eyes were so wide in shock and brimming with unshed tears that it made her heart leap to her throat.
If she could capture an image and hold it in her heart forever, it'd have to be the current look on Mio's face. It was so cute; it was so…vulnerable.
Ritsu suppressed her smirk.
Her father stepped to the front of the altar and gave her a light pat on the shoulder. Her smiled sadly but nudged her on. Ritsu turned to face Mio, shyly smiled at her (she had to keep from fighting the itchiness), and took a step toward her bride to be.
To say that it all went picture perfect would be a lie. Right after they'd done their 'you may kiss the bride' spiel, Mio tripped and gave the entire audience a show reminiscent of their freshman year of high school.
Yui and Mugi had laughed for her as Ritsu joining in would have led to a funeral as opposed to a blissful wedding.
When she and Mio took their car out to their reception venue, she looked back at her two compadres. Yui was being nagged at by Azusa and Mugi was chatting with Nodoka and their other kouhais.
Ritsu smiled to herself and refocused her attention on her wife.
This was her family now and she wouldn't have it any other way.
A/N: Blegh, this was so corny that even I got itchy from it. Anyways, uh...sorry I've been a ghost. Real life has been kicking me in the tushie and it's been...hectic to say the least. Didn't mean for this one-shot to be so...odd? I don't know. I'm tryna speak to the girls as they have disconnected from me, but at the same time maybe it's time for a K-ON! rewatch...
Anyways...have a good weekend! I've always been bad at spiels, but I suppose it comes with age?
Anywho, toodles~
