AN: I acknowledge I am a liar and did not in fact write this quickly. I'm sorry... -
The gust subsided and Ritsu looked up into Mio's eyes and sneezed. "My legs are cold..."
Ritsu rubbed her nose. Before she could process what was happening Mio had pulled her into her house, up the stairs and on to Mio's bed. Ritsu closed her eyes, only to feel Mio's presences surround her. "Mio, no. I don't want it to be like this. I always-" she started to protest but her lips were covered by something soft, at first she was sure they were Mio's lips, but that felt wrong. Mio always tasted like pudding due to the lip gloss she used, but this kiss didn't, it tasted like dryer sheets. She opened her eyes to find Mio desperately covering her in blankets, scarves and towels.
"Are you warmed up yet, Ritsu? We can't have you catching a cold!" Mio said as she shoved a beanie over Ritsu's head.
"Mio, stop! You're gonna mess up my hair." She tugged the beanie off and pulled Mio by the hand and into her chest before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "You're the biggest tease in the universe Mwo-cwan."
"Eh? What did I do?"
"When most people shove someone else on to their bed it's usually for-" she leaned down and whispered into Mio's ear, "-sex." Ritsu watched as Mio's cheeks turned bright red. "What! No! I mean I don't mind it but that's not what I meant." Mio stammered, helping Ritsu peel off the cloth cocoon. "IT'S JUST THAT YOU LOOK REALLY CUTE! Like so cute I want to make sure everyone knows you're mine."
"Ah, so even Mio-chan is capable of saying things like that." Ritsu teased, poking her cheek.
"Only because you look so adorable right now! What made you dress like this?"
"Hmm, just felt like it. My aunt always sends over clothes like this for me and I never wear them so I decided to try them on. When my mom saw me leaving the house like this she pulled me into the bathroom and did my hair and makeup." Ritsu stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, twirling like a ballerina, causing her skirt to ruffle.
"Ooo! That was good! Do it again!" Mio squealed in delight, clapping her hands together. Ritsu spun around again which sent Mio into another set of cheers. "How about striking a pose?!"
"No way in hell! Come on, if we don't hurry up we'll be late for the movie."
"Ah! You're right, let's go." - Mio walked hand in hand with Ritsu down the Main Street of the shopping complex.
"Mio, wasn't that movie great?"
"Yeah it was." Mio's eyes whipped around, there were a fair amount boys whose eyes were trailing after Ritsu, and their gaze annoyed her.
"Mio!" Her attention snapped back to Ritsu. "Are you listening to me?"
"No, sorry, I spaced out."
"Really? That's like the fourth time today." Ritsu tiptoed up and pressed her forehead against Mio's. "You don't have a fever, do you have a headache?"
Mio's faced flushed. "No I'm fine." She lowered Ritsu back to her feet. "Just a little distracted." She took Ritsu by her hand and started walking again.
"By what?"
"Nothing, for worry about it."
"Fine." Ritsu pouted slightly before regaining her usual vibe. "Look Mio!" She happily pointed at a small store with a banner newly hanging on the door, the windows were lined with musical instruments, and hanging on strings were old school record. "They opened a new music store, wanna check it out? Didn't you say that you needed new strings for Elizabeth?"
"Don't call it that! It's a Fender Reissue!"
"Well, you were the one who named it. Just come in for a little bit. Let's just browse around." Ritsu pulled her into the store before separating and running into depths of the store. Mio sighed and walked down the stores isle, running her hand through the strings, searching for the 62' strings that would fit her own bass. Her hands came around the package that contained the strings that she needed, put quickly put them back after noticing they were more expensive than the ones at the shop that Mugi's family ran. She quickly looked around the store and found Ritsu who was looking at drumming pads. "Ritsu," Mio said, grabbing the drummer's attention. "The strings are more expensive here, I'll just go pick up some new ones after school on Monday, Yui and Azusa probably needs theirs changed too."
"Roger. I'm still looking around, if you want you can go get some juice at the concision stand across the street. I'll be there in a bit."
"Okay, do want anything?"
"Melon soda please!" Mio nodded at her before walking out of the store and towards the small concision across the road, where she bought Ritsu melon soda, lemonade for herself and a plate of French fries. She took a seat at one of the small tables near the stand, nibbling the fries idly biding her time until Ritsu came, which she did with an unusual hop in her step.
"Thank you Mio." She said as she swung into the seat next to her shoving a fry into her mouth and taking a long, boorish sip from her soda.
"You may look like a proper girl today but you're far from it." Mio said as she brushed the crumbs off the side of Ritsu face.
"That is no way to talk to the bestest girlfriend in the whole world."
"That's no way to talk."
"Don't be smug with me young lady."
"You're only a couple months older than me."
"And that's what matters! But that's all beside the point! Guess what I got?"
"New drum stick?"
"Wrong!" Ritsu held her arm straight out from her arm, she opened her hand slowly, streaming from a thin chain was small guitar pick with two small drum sticks forming an X across its surface.
"It's pretty but what is it? A key chain?"
"No silly! Just press both tips of the stick and it pops off with a small click," the charm splits into two, as if the pick was layered and was peeled off each other with a drum stick on it and the thinned out pick. Each fell loose from each other, dangling on there on two separate chains were the two separated halves of the pick. "Tada! It's one of those clique couple things!" She stood up and draped the chain around Mio's neck and hooking it on before doing the same to herself with the other piece.
"Clique, but still sweet." Mio reached up and placed a small kiss on Ritsu's cheek.
"Does that mean I get a reward?" Mio reached up and patted her on her head. "Consider yourself rewarded."
"What did I expect?" Ritsu said sadly as she took another fry from the plate.
"How about a date?" A boy said, who had appeared by the table. He was on the tall side, having to lean on the table to make eye contact with them, his long dark hair falling into his eyes. Standing next to him was a boy with dyed blonde hair, his eyes were covered in cheap sunglasses.
"No thanks, I already have one." Ritsu said smiling, taking Mio's hand in her own and lifting it up.
"Great, we can take you both out." Said the one in the sunglasses.
"Listen, we're on a date already, thanks for trying, but no thank you."
"Let's be honest, two girls going on a date together is complete bull." Said the tall one. "Exactly, you're just hanging out here." The blonde one leaned in close, getting in Ritsu's face. "So why not just come out with us and have a real good time, there's a great hotel just around the-" His sentence was cut short, his glasses clattered across the table, a large red spot was visible on his check, corresponding to it, Mio's own hand was red and stung with a dull numbness. Ritsu took her by her hand and pulled her away, dragging Mio along in her frantic run. The boy's vicious screams could be heard in the distance.
- After a running a fair distance, Ritsu had finally slowed to a stop and started a slow walk back in the direction of Mio's house. Although she never let go of her hand she felt so distant, the usually warm and excitable drummer was so quiet it was scary. Ritsu's silence didn't end even as they entered Mio's home, she quietly took off her shoes and walked upstairs to Mio's room, following close behind her, Mio watch as she fell into her bed before she started to sob quietly.
"Ritsu..."
"You're and idiot.. Do you know that Mio..."
"But...he didn't believe we were..."
"He isn't the first and he won't be the last!" She raised her face out of the pillow, her face streaming with tears. "Face it Mio! There be thousands of people that don't think we should be dating! Are you gonna slap every single one of them!"
"But-"
"There is no buts Mio! Fact of the matter is that we're girls! If those guys followed us and pushed us into an alley there would be little we could do, why? Cause we are girls!"
"But I don't care if we're girls, I still love you!"
"And you think I don't!? The reason this hurts me so much is because I do love you! It hurts because even though I love you I can't protect you!" Her crying continued, her words turning to sobs. "It hurt because I have to see the one I love suffer. It hurts because if I was born a boy none of this would have to happen. If I was born a boy we could go out on dates and no one would think twice about it, we could hold hands and kiss and hug all we wanted and no one would judge us. But I wasn't born a boy, I was born a skinny, short, frail little girl that can't even protect the one she loves." Ritsu buried her face in the pillow, her cries causing her whole body to shake violently. Mio went to her and wrapped her arms around Ritsu. It was true Ritsu was small, her thin frame was tangible beneath what little fat and muscle she had, her legs and arms where covered in small bruises where she had collided with things doing daily things. The girl that usually felt so unstoppable suddenly felt so small and meek trembling in her arms.
"Ritsu, I don't care about any of that. I love you because you're a girl. A weak girl that I love and even if you can't protect me I'll protect you!" Ritsu raised her head slightly.
"But what if-"
"We'll think of that when we get there."
"That's the first time I've heard you say something stupid."
"It probably won't be the last time either." Ritsu giggled before reaching up and kissing her.
"I love you Mio. Promise me you won't ever do anything like that again."
"I promise." She brought her lips on to Ritsu's, seeking to comfort the still trembling drummer. Ritsu melted in to her, her still trembling hands went around her neck pulling herself closer to her mouth. Slowly Mio found herself being pushed down by Ritsu, her weight pressing her down forcefully but gently. Ritsu hands lowered her hands, trailing along the length of her torso until they got to her legs where they diligently began to run the length of her legs. Mio shuddered, even though the denim, Ritsu's heat was able to bring out an unknown sensitivity in her that trilled her to the core. Ritsu drew her mouth away from her own and brought her lips to the nape of her neck, nipping and suckling on the tender skin, earning several yelps and moans. Ritsu lifted herself and looked into her Mio's eyes. "Mio." Her eyes where glazed over, not the kind that obscured vision but the one that heightened every sense. "I don't think I could stop myself if we continue. Can we?" Mio nodded.
"If it's with you I don't mind." She brought her arms around Ritsu's neck and brought her head down, locking her in a passionate kiss, their tongues darted around one another's mouths, savoring ever single sensation that occurred between the two. Ritsu's breathes where beginning to grow ragged and drawn out, combined with the small excited yips that left her own lips, the whole room was basked in the erotic sounds of the two. Slowly Mio felt Ritsu fingers at her waistband, wrestling with the button and zipper of her jeans, her success brought a pleasure filled shiver upon her, her most sensitive place was slowly being toyed with by Ritsu callused fingers. Clothes became scarce in a quick blur, first her pants and underwear, followed by Ritsu's top, with her own following close after, the pattern continued until the only article of clothing left between them was Ritsu skirt which was only spared due to the fact that it posed no real disturbance. Ritsu, who was still firmly on top of her, was blushing as red as a tomato. She lifted her arms up and across her torso. "I guess I lost this match." Her eyes lock firmly on her breast.
"Don't stare!" She shot her hands out, shoving past Ritsu cover and softly grabbed hold of her breast, kneading them in her hands. Ritsu winced in pleasure, sharp moans escaping her lips. She giggled to herself. "Who would have thought you had such an obvious weakness." "They're just sensitive!" She said through the series of small gasp she was currently caught in. Mio moved her fingers to the tip of the small mound, pressing the jutting flesh into its self before stretching it out and rolling the bud in between her fingers. Ritsu's back arced suddenly, the leg she was straddling suddenly grew moister than it was previously. "Really? Just from you're breast?"
"Sh-shut up." Her words where slurred by her desperate attempt to breathe, her eyes where half lidded in fatigue.
"It's your turn." Ritsu slid her hand down her waist and toward her womanhood. Gently, with a rhythm that only grew in speed, she slide her fingers along her lower lips. Softly she entered her, earning a gasping moan from the raven-haired girl. She began moving the inserted finger in and out, every motion brought on waves of ecstasy, causing her to tense up and strength out every inch of her body due to pleasure. Ritsu added a second finger, using the two like feelers, stretching out, wiggling around and probing farther within her walls. It was during this time that Ritsu began rubbing herself against her leg, leaving a long wet and sluggish trail of kisses delivered by her drenched lips. As the pressure built and exceeded what she could hold, Mio felt her body snapped back to its original position, trapping Ritsu's finger as she rid out her orgasm. The two fell limp on each other, breathing in deeply in a futile attempt to return to normal. "Mio- I love you."
"I love you too, Ritsu." She carefully took her into her arms and placed a gentle kiss upon her forehead. "I'll love you even if you don't love me." Ritsu giggled.
"Baka, when is that ever gonna happen."
