Mio was spending the night studying for a test at her desk. She had been at it for more than three hours, so she had decided to take a small break. She got up and walked to her bed side table to grab her iPod, and went back to her desk to write a song. She put her ear buds in her ears and pushed the play button without looking at the song.

I'm… in… trouble

I'm an addict,

I'm addicted to this girl

She's got my heart tied in a knot

And my stomach in a whirl

Mio nodded her head with the beat. She had recently heard this song, and had taken a liking to it. She didn't usually listen to music like it, but something about it made her like it.

I wonder what Ritsu's doing… Mio thought, putting her pen in her mouth in concentration. Maybe I should call her…

But even worse,

I can't stop calling her

She's all I want and more

I mean d*mn

What's not to adore?

Mio had been reaching for her cell phone, but stopped. She looked at it for a second, deciding whether or not to call her.

I've been playing too much guitar
I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she's going mad
And that cellular will be the death of us
I swear, I swear

"Maybe I shouldn't call her… I'd probably be bothering her." Mio said, a frustrated look on her face. "Why am I thinking so much about this? Friends call each other all the time."

Mio turned off her iPod rather forcefully. A second later, her phone rang.

"Mio Akiyama here." Mio said, not even checking to see who was calling.

"Don't be so formal! We've only known each other since… forever!" Ritsu said, on the other end, chuckling.

"What do you want, Ritsu?" Mio said, trying to sound annoyed.

"Nothing, I just felt like calling you." Ritsu said.

"Well, don't, I'm studying," Mio said.

"Oh, don't pretend like you weren't going to call me," Ritsu said, slyly.

"I was not!" Mio said, hastily, denying it a little to much.

"Oh, so you were?" Ritsu said, a little surprised.

"I just said no!" Mio shouted.

"Ok, ok, whatever you say. You know, the first step is denial." Ritsu said, with a snicker as Mio grunted.

"Anyways, I was just listening to my iPod, and a song reminded me of you." Ritsu said.

"What song?" Mio asked, curious.

"Uh, that doesn't matter." Ritsu said, turning red on the other side of the line. (In truth Ritsu had been listening to "Everything I do", by Bryan Adams, she wasn't sure why.)

"Why not? I want to know now?" Mio said.

"Anyways! Since tomorrow's Sunday, let's hangout!" Ritsu said, changing the subject.

"Alright, tell me what you were listening to, and we'll do anything you want." Mio said.

"Fine, I'll hang out with Mugi or Yui or Azusa!" Ritsu shouted, trying to sound angry.

"Ok, well bye then." Mio said, smirking on the other end of the line.

"Wait! How about, we do what you want to do tomorrow!" Ritsu suggested.

"Really? What if I want to go to the museum? Or the bookstore?"

"Fine, fine, I just don't want to be stuck in the house all day." Ritsu said.

"Are you sure?" Mio said, surprised Ritsu would agree to this.

"Yep!"

"Al…right…" Mio said, a bit suspicious.

"Why so suspicious?" Ritsu snickered.

"I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"How can you tell?"

"Because, you look like you don't trust me."

"How do I look… wait, how can you see me?" Mio looked around her room and saw Ritsu standing in her door way. Ritsu flipped her phone shut with a small grin.

"You forgot didn't you?"

"Forgot what?"

"That I was sleeping over today." Ritsu said, raising an eyebrow, grinning. Mio couldn't help but stare for a second. For some reason, Ritsu looked really cute when she looked like she was up to something.

Wait… what? Mio thought, and shook her head.

"You did, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I did, I'm sorry."

"Whatever… I've just been watching the news with your dad for the past four hours." Ritsu said, flopping herself on Mio's bed.

"You and my dad were watching the news? For four hours?" Mio said.

"I can be a very patient person you know." Ritsu said, smiling at her. "But, you're dad should be a politician. He seems to know more about all that stuff then everyone else."

"That's what I tell him sometimes… but he thinks he wouldn't have enough time to spend with his family, but all he really does is watch the news." Mio said, with a sigh. "Wait you said, you were listening to your iPod."

"Oh, well after like the third hour and a half, I stopped paying attention and pretended to be asleep and put my iPod on." Ritsu said.

"That's not nice. My dad likes to have people to talk to."

"Well, I talked to him for three and a half hours. Give me a break." Ritsu said, rolling her eyes at the motherly figure of Mio Akiyama. "Anyways, come over here! Let's go to sleep! It's almost 12, and we have to go somewhere tomorrow!"

"Yeah, fine, whatever, let me just finish something really quickly." Mio said, writing some stuff down in her notebook quickly. Mio looked back to see Ritsu already half asleep on her bed. She smiled, and walked over. She kneeled down by the side of her bed and looked at Ritsu. She took off her headband and swiped her hair away from her forehead. It always amazed Mio how much she looked like a guy without her headband, but she was still adorable for some reason. Mio shook her head.

Sure, she's cute, but it's a friendly kind of cute, not anything more. I can't be like… that. Mio thought. Mio looked at Ritsu's face, and smiled.

Suddenly Ritsu's eyes opened, with a grin.

"Boo!"

"Gaaaaah!" Mio shouted, flinging herself backwards. "Why the hell would you do that?"

"It seemed like it would be funny." Ritsu said. "Come here!"

Ritsu lifted Mio's blanket to invite her in. Mio glared at her, but she was tired so she crawled into her bed. Ritsu put the blanket on her, and hugged her.

"You smell good. Did you take a shower?"

"Yeah, a while ago." Mio reached over to her light and turned it off.

"I like it… smells like fruity…"

"A lot of shampoo's do." Mio sighed.

"Mmmm, but I like it on you." Ritsu said, sleepy.

"Whatever, just go to sleep." Mio said.

"…kay…" Ritsu's grip on Mio's waist tightened. Mio felt the steady rise and fall of Ritsu's breathing against her back and her breath against the back of her neck. For some reason, Mio's heart was pounding. She was aware of every body part that was touching, and she breathed ragged.

"Mio… relax…" Ritsu mumbled.

"Are you awake, Ritsu?" Mio whispered. Ritsu made a small grunting noise, but nothing else. "Guess not…"

Finally, Mio was so exhausted that she felt herself drift off. Then she suddenly felt awake at a thought.

We're… spooning? Friends don't do that… but we're just friends… right? Mio thought. Crap, I was almost asleep… why do I keep thinking these things? It's not like a I like Ritsu is it? Is it?

Of course not…

But why do I catch myself looking at her all the time?

God… maybe I do… that's not it is it?

Maybe it is…

Oh good god, she would hate me if she knew I was thinking this… no she would hate me if she knew I was like that

Maybe she wouldn't… she is my best friend

No, this goes past the point of friendship…

What does?

That… I … love… Ritsu?

Oh god, I'm in love with Ritsu… how did that even happen?

Mio's heart beat had picked up. She listened to Ritsu's sound breathing, relaxing with every breath. She let herself calm down, holding Ritsu's hand. Finally, she was able to fall asleep. She couldn't really make out much of her dream, she just knew she was happy, and there was Ritsu's voice. She didn't really put two and two together, so she didn't understand it at all.

Soon enough, it was morning. Ritsu was still asleep, with an iron grip on Mio. Mio tried to move, and go to the bathroom, but she failed miserably.

"Ritsu!" She hissed. "Ritsu! Wake up!"

"Hmph? Wha?" Ritsu said, sleepily.

"Move! I have to go the bathroom!"

"Oh? Sorry…" Ritsu said, turning around, releasing Mio. Mio got up and went to the bathroom. When she came back, Ritsu was on the ground, reading a manga.

"Good morning." Mio said, sitting at her desk.

"G' Morning." Ritsu mumbled, without looking up from her manga.

"So, what're we doing today?"

"It's your choice, remember."

"Oh yeah… so, uh… lets… uhm…" Mio thought for a second.

"Lets…?" Ritsu pushed.

"Let's go to the music store. I've been wanted to get a new CD recently."

"Which one?"

"I don't know. I feel like being spontaneous." Mio said, completely serious. Ritsu burst into laughter, throwing herself onto the floor. She grabbed her stomach as tears formed from the large amount of laughter.

"Why is that funny?" Mio asked, pouting a little.

"You… spontaneous?" Ritsu said, going into a fit of laughter again. She then grabbed her phone and dialed a number. "Yui? Oh my god, you're going to love this… Mio decided that she wanted to be spontaneous!"

Ritsu then put her phone on speaker, so she and Yui could laugh together. Mio just glared at Ritsu.

"Fine! You know what! I don't feel like doing anything! Go home!" Mio shouted.

"Oh, c'mon. Don't be sour, I was just kidding with you." Ritsu said, sitting back up, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Kay, bye Yui." Ritsu hung up.

"C'mon Mio don't be mad!" Ritsu said, as Mio felt her room. Ritsu scrambled up and tried to follow her, but Mio went into the bathroom and locked the door.

"Oh, you're acting childish!" Ritsu shouted, slamming her fist on the door.

"I am not!" Mio shouted. She turned on the shower. "Ritsu go get me a towel!"

"Why do I have to? Go get it yourself!"

"Because I'm in the shower."

"Fine, fine, whatever…" Ritsu went and got her a towel. When she walked back, she pulled out a bobby pin from her pocket. She then proceeded to pick the lock on the door and walked into the bathroom very quietly. She went over to the sink and sat on the counter. Ritsu sat there, and was considering pranking Mio, but then Mio started singing.

"You make me happy, whether you know it or not, We should be happy, that's what I said from the start, I am so happy, knowing you are the one that I want for the rest of my days, For the rest of my days, You're all of my days." Mio's voice rang throughout the bathroom. Ritsu then got a bright idea, and ran out of Mio's house.

"Ritsu? Are you in here?" Mio screamed, jumping up. She looked past the shower curtain, but there was no Ritsu.

Three minutes later Ritsu came back, with a ukulele in hand. Mio was still in the shower, so Ritsu hung out in Mio's room, remembering how to play. She had learned to play the ukulele when she was a bit younger, unbeknownst to Mio. Mio would have to come back anyways, since she didn't bring clothes with her into the bathroom. Ritsu waited in there for another fifteen minutes before she heard the shower turn off and the wet foot steps.

"God, she really scrubs herself clean, doesn't she? Didn't she just take a shower last night?" Ritsu said, chuckling to herself a little.

Mio's door opened to reveal a very wet Mio, in a towel that was a little to small for her. Ritsu stared at her for a second, then looked away. Mio turned a bit red. Then Ritsu smirked.

"You know, Mio, you're actually pretty hot. I bet out of the two of us, you wouldn't have a hard time looking for a boyfriend." Ritsu said. "You know, unless you got like an abusive boyfriend, who beat you all the time until you were bloody, and you couldn't move."

"I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it." Mio chanted, in the corner of her room.

"You'd look like a zombie!"

"I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it!" Mio said, crying.

"Ok, ok I was kidding, that won't actually happen." Ritsu said, feeling a bit guilty. Mio still whimpered in the corner. Ritsu got up and hesitantly walked over to Mio. She looked down at her for a second and got on her knees. She wrapped her arms around Mio, and pat her on the head.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Calm down. I wouldn't let anyone do that to you, alright. Besides, I feel like you would be the abusive one in a relationship." Ritsu said with a snicker.

Mio was silent, but not for the reason Ritsu thought she was. Mio's heart was pounding from Ritsu hugging her when she was practically naked.

"And here I was going to be sweet and play ukulele for you, so you could sing with an instrument." Ritsu said with a sigh.

"Why?" Mio sniffled.

"I dunno… I just felt like it." Ritsu said, unaware of how her breath breezed by Mio's shoulder. "I'm not ever allowed to be sweet?"

"Yeah, just like I'm not allowed to be spontaneous." Mio said, laughing.

"Alright, fine you're allowed to be spontaneous from now on." Ritsu said, laughing too. "Hey Mio… I… love you."

"I love you too." Mio said, relaxing into Ritsu's hug. Then she tensed up. "Wait what?"

"I love you… like as in… this is kind of turning me on." Ritsu said. Mio turned bright red.

"Wh…at?" Mio asked again, in a sort of daze.

"Mio! Just reject me or don't! It's not that hard." Ritsu said.

"Huh?" Mio said, still a bit confused. She turned around to look at Ritsu. Ritsu was a bit red, looking away from her, embarrassed. She looked so adorable…

Before Mio could stop herself, she launched herself at Ritsu. She locked her lips with Ritsu's. Ritsu's eyes widened for a second before she closed them, enjoying Mio odd moment of affection. Mio's towel was now lying on Ritsu's stomach, but Mio pressed her body against Ritsu. Ritsu tangled her finger in Mio's hair, pulling her down to her face. She opened her mouth, hoping Mio would get the message. She didn't at first, and began to pull away, but Ritsu put a hand on her back and pressed her back down. She used her tongue to try and pry open Mio's mouth. Mio finally got the idea and opened her mouth. Ritsu stuck her tongue in hesitantly, but Mio regained dominance. Ritsu wasn't getting enough air from her nose, but she didn't want to stop. Ritsu decided to let her hands explore Mio's body.

"Mmmmmn, Ritsu~" Mio half moaned, half purred into the kiss.

"You might want to take another shower," Ritsu said with a smirk.

"Oh my god, I can't believe I just did that!" Mio shouted, remembering her parents were in the house.

"What? Are you regretting it?" Ritsu said.

"Well, mostly the fact that my parents are still home…" Mio said, taking notice of the hint of disappointment in Ritsu's voice.

"Oh?" Ritsu said, grinning. "Maybe you shouldn't have been so loud then."

"It's not my fault! It just… uhm…"

"Felt good?"

"Shut up!" Mio turned red.

"I'm going to be insulted if you don't say it." Ritsu said, with puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah… it felt good… really good…" Mio mumbled under her breath.

"God you're so cute!" Ritsu said, throwing herself at her. "I love you!"

"Gaaaah!" Mio shouted, as she fell on the ground. "I… love you too."

"I know! Or else you would've killed me by now." Ritsu said, smiling.
