I don't own K-ON!

Here it is chapter 4 :)

I hope you enjoy :)

It's been a week since that night and everything settled down for now. Every day has been very hard, we have meals together as a family but none of us are really talking with each other. We want to discuss to our parents about the issue but...it doesn't feel like it's the right time and they don't seem to have anything to say yet.

As for onee-chan…well…as expected, she's like the time she thought Tsumugi-san and Nodoka-san are dating…only worse. She never stopped blaming herself since then, '…if only I hadn't asked her to kiss me…', '…if only I hadn't planned the whole surprise…' – she kept telling me. I really would like to blame someone for this too…but I don't know who, no one saw it coming. And it's not like that's going to help anyway.

Nodoka-san's probably in a crueler situation considering how uncle Satoru reacted after discovering her daughter's dating a girl but thankfully, she's not abused physically or anything like that…just full of restrictions. I'm really glad that our friends never ceased to show their support for us…especially for onee-chan and Nodoka-san.

It's a lethargic Saturday afternoon for the light music club because of Yui and Nodoka's state. No one has touched her tea – busy thinking of what to do and they've been like that for a week. They never stopped trying their best to cheer both of them up ever since they got the news from Azusa. Ui even asked Azusa if they could spend less time with each other because she didn't want to make her sister feel even worse if she sees them together. They never had this kind of problem before so they're not quite sure of what to do and asking their advisor didn't help at all because she too never experienced such thing – everyone is at loss. And it's usually at this time that they would turn to their president for ideas.

"Ritsu what now?" Mio asked her best friend, who had a serious look on her face with her hands clasped in front of her and eyes closed. Ritsu has been thinking of a plan for this issue and she has come up with one. It's a bit risky but what other options do we have? Talking is already out of the question. As president of this club and Yui's friend I have to do something, this isn't right anymore, they both need to talk about this. Damn it if only Nodoka isn't part of the student council then…*sigh* that won't help. Anyway, I don't know what might happen and it would probably not end well but…that's better than not doing anything at all. Right! I'll do tha –

"Um…," Mugi interrupted Ritsu's thoughts, "…actually, I've been meaning to give this to you." Mugi showed five pieces of paper to them, "I got these from my friend last night, she own that newly opened café near the station."

"Gift certificates? From that new pancake café?" Mio said and took one.

"Yeah, I was thinking that maybe this could help."

"It says here that it's only valid for this September and free pancake meal for two," Azusa read.

"That's right. Maybe we could all go, you know? Since Nodoka-chan and Yui-chan can't be seen alone together we could have a group date. I figured that their 2nd monthsary is next Friday anyway so this could be a good chance to celebrate it somehow," Mugi suggested.

"That's a good idea senpai!" Azusa said feeling excited to ask Ui already.

"Yeah it is," Ritsu said feeling excited as well to ask Mika but still didn't forget about the main problem, "…so how will this help Yui?"

"Thank you Mugi-chan. I don't mind being with you guys as along as Nodoka-chan is there…I really want to go with Nodoka-chan…," Yui said in a depressing tone. "But…"

"Yeah Mugi how will we do it? Remember, Nodoka is heavily guarded by her dad, she's busy with her work, they can't talk in school and she doesn't have her phone," Mio reminded.

"I'll ask her myself. We'll go on a day that's more convenient for her," Mugi said.

"And the dad?" Ritsu asked.

"Well I could…," Mugi started.

"We are not going to have your guards kidnap him," said Ritsu reading her friend's mind.

"I see…," Mug crossed her arms and put her chin between her thumb and index finger.

"You were really thinking of doing that?!" Mio said surprised at what Mugi's idea.

"Then let's use Nodoka's busy schedule instead," Mugi said smiling.

"Eh?" everyone said in unison.

Student Council

Unlike in the light music club the student council is as busy as ever; documents everywhere and very stressed council members working. The busy environment isn't new for the members; it happens most of the time after all every time there's an occasion, what they're not used to is the amount of stress they feel while working, which make work harder to do. Ever since the semester started, everything started to become more tiring and it's all because of the very tensed mood Nodoka has been letting out. Not like before when things were so calm and relaxing even though there was tons of work to do. They do understand the reason why, after seeing how she and Yui have been acting towards each other they assumed that they were forced to break up because their relationship was against the rules. And despite having such situation Nodoka still did her job and they were very thankful because they can finish the work faster with her present. She's a very good president to them, she always treated them well not once did she get mad or yell at them if they made a mistake, and they wish they could do something to help her. And it wasn't long before their wish could come true when they heard a knock on the door.

"Yes come in," Nodoka said.

"Excuse me," Mugi said and slowly peeked inside the room.

"Mugi? Come in. What is it?" Nodoka asked.

"Um, I'm sorry Nodoka-chan I know you guys are busy but…there's something I'd like to talk to you about…in private."

Nodoka saw Mugi's worried look so she granted the blonde's request. As they walked along the hallway the president assumed that Mugi would give her a report regarding how Yui is doing, which is what their friends have been doing ever since their relationship had been found out. But they already talked to me about that earlier and they usually don't do it privately…so what's going on? Nodoka then realized they were heading for the rooftop that made her even more worried. If we're talking on the roof then that means…she's taking precautionary measure?

Rooftop

"So what's this all about Mugi?" Nodoka immediately asked as soon as they got to the roof.

Mugi smiled and gave a faint chuckle before saying, "It's like an intense déjà vu, don't you think Nodoka-chan?"

Instantly Nodoka realized what Mugi meant, "Yeah you're right."

"But that time we were in a classroom and you were still confused about your feelings for Yui-chan, you guys were so cute," Mugi's smile then gradually faded, "And that time I wouldn't have to bring you to a place where nobody can hear us."

"…yeah."

"The truth is I'm just going to deliver a message from Yui-chan," Mugi smiled as she handed out an envelope to Nodoka.

Nodoka opened it and saw the gift certificate with a note:

Will you go out with me and celebrate our 2nd monthsary?

–Yui

With that, Nodoka blushed and smiled but that quickly turned to a frown when she's reminded of her circumstances with the school and her father. "The 18th? That's next Friday…I really would love to, you know that…she knows that. But how? Dad picks me up everyday and I can't be seen with Yui alone to avoid the impression that we're together."

"That's why I brought you here…to tell you the plan that we've come up with."

"Plan?"

"Yup. But first I need to know when it's convenient for you to go on a date with Yui-chan since you're busy with student council work and stuff. So when is it Nodoka-chan if you can freely leave your work and go out with Yui-chan without worrying about your dad or anybody else?"

"Eh…? Friday is still no good for me we still have a lot of work to do on that day…"

"When will you have less work then?"

"Saturday…I guess, but I don't think I can lea – "

"Nodoka-chan said on the 19th that's Saturday," Mugi suddenly said to someone on the phone before hanging up.

"Hey…wait! Who was that?! I didn't say anything yet! I can't leave all the work to the other members."

"Don't worry Nodoka-chan, that was Mio-chan. Right now, she and Ricchan are with the vice president. They're going to tell her that you'll leave early on Saturday to hang out with us and ask her to handle things for you on that day."

"Eh but – "

"It's just for one day. Don't you want to be with Yui-chan?"

"I do…I really do but…," Nodoka felt anxious about it but she took another look at Yui's note and took a moment to think. Afterwards, she let out a deep breath and smiled, "Okay. So what are we going to do?"

A big smile ran across Mugi's face feeling very happy and she immediately told her what the plan is. "Right! So since you cannot be seen with Yui-chan alone we'll make it a group date so you guys aren't the only ones with a free pancake meal for two. Will that be alright?"

"Of course, definitely," Nodoka replied eagerly.

"Great! Now for your dad, what time does he usually arrive in school to pick you up?"

"15 minutes before the final bell rings then he'll wait in the bakery just across the road."

"He's really watching you huh? Then let's use the back gate then just come back after one or two hours. Since he knows you're very busy with student council he won't be suspicious if you'll come out the front gate late. What do you think?"

"Will it really work?" Nodoka asked still feeling a bit uneasy.

"I'm confident that it will," Mugi said putting a hand on Nodoka's shoulder to comfort her. "On Saturday next week, Mio-chan and I will leave with you through the back gate, Yui-chan will go out with Ui-chan at the front gate followed by Ricchan, Azusa-chan and Mika-chan then we'll just meet up at the café. Starting Monday, we'll practice leaving the school like that when we go home so you're dad, who's watching from the bakery, will get used to seeing us like that. A sudden change would probably make him suspicious instantly."

Nodoka looked at her friend with astonishment, "Amazing Mugi. With your planning skills you should be in the student council."

With a giggle Mugi said, "Thanks but I really like music."

Clubroom

Even though they already know when to go for their group date based on Nodoka's schedule, Yui and the others still waited for Mugi anxiously. They still need to know the rest of the plan and what they will do. Half an hour passed before Mugi returned to the clubroom and she came back with a serious expression on her face while carrying an envelope that looked very familiar to everyone.

"Mugi…what's wrong?" Mio asked feeling very worried. "Hold on…is that…?" asked Mio referring to the envelope in Mugi's hand.

"But I thought you said she can go out on Saturday...," Ritsu reminded.

Mugi ignored them and gave the envelope to Yui, who's very hesitant to take it but in the end took it.

"Mugi-chan…she said no…didn't she?" Yui asked with a little tear in her eyes.

"Why don't you open it and find out…," Mugi said and sat down on her seat.

Still confused, Yui did what she was told. Everyone else went over to Yui's side to see as well. She opened the envelope and the gift certificate was there and a note.

I can't wait to be with you again. See you next Saturday Yui.

– Nodoka

"What the…so everything went well with Nodoka-senpai. What's with the serious look then Mugi-senpai?" Azusa asked.

"Nothing I was just messing with you," Mugi said with smile. "And to make sure her dad wouldn't see this GC I decided I'll be the one keep it."

"Jeez, Mugi don't make us all nervous like that," Ritsu said and sighed with relief. "Well isn't that great Yui?"

Yui looked at her friends and couldn't help but cry.

"What?! What is it?!" Ritsu said in panic.

"I'm just…I'm just very happy," Yui answered with a smile, the smile that they all miss seeing. "Also I'm happy that I have you guys. Thank you."

"No problem Yui, that's what friends are for," Ritsu said putting an arm around her friend's shoulder.

"Um…I'll just go out for a bit," Azusa shyly said.

"Where are you going Azu-nyan?" Yui asked.

"Um…I'm just…going to ask Ui if she's free next Saturday," Azusa blushed as she answered.

"Oh yeah me too. Come on Azusa, let's go together," Ritsu said looking red as well.

Student Council

Nodoka came back and the other members immediately saw the change in the president's mood. She's smiling, they said. For the first time in a long time they saw Nodoka smile and have that calm expression on her face once again.

"Kaichou," the vice president said as she approached the president.

"Yes, what is it?"

"You don't have to worry about anything next Saturday. We'll take care of everything on that day so you go and enjoy your time with Hirasawa-senpai. I've already talked with the others and they're fine with it."

Nodoka looked at the council members smiling at her, showing their support and approval for the idea. "Thank you everyone," Nodoka said with sincerity.

With the plan passed on to Nodoka and made clear all that's left now is to wait. It's just a one-day date but for Yui and Nodoka it's so important. It's their 2nd monthsary after all and they don't know when they'll get the chance to be with each other again. That's why this is like a once in a lifetime opportunity for them.

To be continued...

I hope you enjoyed that :)
