After they got inside the house, Mio went straight to the stairs. But before she could climb up, she stopped and glance at a worried brunette.
"I'll just stay in the room, Ritsu." she mentally deapanned since this is also what she said before. 'This is really ridiculous.'
"Are you okay, Mio?"
The latter put up a small smile before nodding, "Yes, I'm fine. I'll be in our room."
Ritsu watched her retreat to their room before she exclaimed, "Call me if you need me!" she then heard the door shut before sighing. 'She's not herself...'
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
When she got in the room, she then sat on the window sill. Knowing same thing will happen again if she'll lay on the bed, she then sighed while looking at the raindrops sliding down from the glass window.
'Eventhough I had all the chance to confess earlier but...'
"Lycopene..."
Her eyes went wide after hearing someone whispered on her left ear, "Kyaaah!" directly covering her ears as her eyes went shut, "I didn't hear it! I didn't hear it! I didn't he-"
Mio stopped along the way after she heard a familiar laughter beside her, she then slowly took a peek and finds her idiot bestfriend clutching her stomach while laughing. This made her brow twitched and a vein popped out of her temple.
"Oh man! I can't believe it! Haha- Ow!" Ritsu yelp while aiding her aching head.
"Idiot!" she then turned her head away with a huff making the latter flinched.
"Aww... I'm sorry, Mio!" the brunette pout while poking the raven beauty's arm playfully. "I was just trying to cheer you up since you seemed to have a problem."
Mio sighed, "No, n-nothing..."
The brunette raised an eyebrow while eyeing her stubborn bestfriend, "Uh-huh?"
"I'm... I'm just tired..." she sighed again, 'Yeah, literally tired of the day kept repeating.'
"Okay then."
Hearing the brunette's reply made Mio shot a confused look at her. Then there she finds Ritsu drawing closer.
"Wh-What are you trying to do?" her face turned even more redder as the latter comes closer. She then felt an arm under the back of her knees and shoulders, she was then lifted slowly.
"R-Ritsu?! Wha-! Put me down!" she squirmed on the latter's arm, "I'm heavy! Mou..."
On the contrary, Ritsu gripped her tight more the more Mio squirmed. She then slowly walked towards the bed.
"No! It's not good to stress yourself out Mio." Ritsu looked at her with a lazy look before laying Mio down slowly on the bed.
Mio right now is blushing like mad, she can't help but feeling all giddy and tingly. Her bestfriend sure made her crazy. As she looked up, her heart stopped beating after seeing Ritsu.
"You must rest okay?" the brunette commanded but, she then notice the latter's sudden silence. "Mio?"
Mio almost took an eternity just to form words from her jagged brain. But glad she caught back her train of thoughts that were supposed to escape again. She then slowly lift a finger and point at Ritsu's hair.
As Ritsu looked up, she then noticed her bangs were already falling freely over her forehead while some went over halfway on her eyes.
"Oh, it must have fallen off while I'm putting you down." she bend forward while glancing around to look for it, "Now where was it?" she then felt yer shirt being tugged making her look at the source and raised an eyebrow. "What is it, Mio?"
"J-Just leave your hair like th-that, Ritsu..." Mio whispered. 'What am I saying?!'
"Why?"
Mio really didn't want to answer but her mouth seems to have a brain on it's own. "It suits you, a-and I-I like it when your bangs are down." a small genuine smile escaped her lips. 'Did I just say that?! And wait, did I say that with a smile?!' Oh God...
Looking at the two bestfriends seems like they are having a blushing and staring contest. They are utterly silent as they gaze into each others eyes. But eventhough it was just for a few seconds, Ritsu snapped and tries to break their awkward moment.
"I-I'm not used to it." Ritsu whispered while looking away.
A sudden surge of confidence suddenly washed over Mio, she pulled Ritsu closer making the surprised latter slump on the bed beside her. Ritsu, on the other hand, automatically supported herself with her arms trapping the raven beauty below. This puts them again in a staring contest.
Inside Mio's mind has already went upside-down and her brain is already exhausted from overthinking. But she's much more bewildered when her body moved on it's own. 'What am I doing?!' she then draped her arms over the brunette's shoulder and carressed her nape gently. Ritsu felt like she was electricuted after the sudden contact, her blushes are already exaggerating. It's really rare oppurtunity seeing the drummer blush.
"M-Mio?"
The seductress then pulled her down making her lay beside her. Mio instantly curled inside Ritsu's protective arms as she lays her head on it. She then heard Mio whispered.
"Can you please stay by my side 'til I fall asleep?" she then drape an arm over the captured brunette's waist. This made the drummer froze as to her heart beating like crazy.
'Mio is driving me nuts!' she mentally cried, "A-Alright, how 'bout dinner?"
"I'm still full, we ate cake earlier." she mumbles while closing her eyes, she then buried her face onto Ritsu's neck. 'What the hell am I doing?! I'm really sorry Ritsu! It seems like my body won't listen!'
"Okay..." Ritsu whispered back. After a quick few debate to herself, she pulled the latter closer and rested her chin on top of her head. 'You don't know how much I love you. And right now, you're really driving me to the edge...' she then sighed.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
As usual, same morning. But this time, Mio is not surprised anymore. She slowly pulled away, she then sits and sighed.
"Hnn~" Ritsu groan while slowly sitting, "Sighing so early?" she pout while rubbing her eyes.
Mio, for a moment, held her breath after seeing Ritsu so undeniebly cute. Directly biting her lower lip to avoid herself from squealing. "I-I'll take a bath first." she hurriedly ran towards the bathroom so that Ritsu won't have a chance of teasing her again.
The brunette blinked as she watched the door shut closed. "Uhh, did she have a stomach problems?"
.

After dinner, Mio slumps herself on the sofa. This time, she didn't want to go out to the gardens knowing same thing will happen again. Crossing her arms over her fruitful chest, she sighed while closing her eyes while thinking what she shall do.
"Are you okay, Mio?" the brunette asked while standing in front of her.
The bassist opened her eyes and finds a concerned brunette, she then rolled her eyes. 'I'm honestly tired of hearing your question over and over again, Ritsu...' she pursed her lips together, "Yes, I'm okay."
Suddenly, Ritsu swept her off the sofa in a blink of an eye. This made her jumped and grabbed onto the brunette's neck on reflex.
"R-Ritsu! Put me down!" she squirmed but felt the latter's grip tighter.
"Time for bed my princess!" Ritsu grinned while walking towards the stairs.
Yui and Azusa looked at them in awe while Mugi grab a box of tissue, she knows what's coming.
"Mugi, Yui, Azusa! We're heading to bed now! Oyasumi!" the drummer exclaimed while climbing the stairs.
"Oyasuminasai, Ritsu-senpai! Mio-senpai!" Azusa answered back.
"Haaaiii~ Oyasumi, Ricchan! Mio-chan!" Yui waved at them joyfully eventhough they didn't look back. "You too, Azu-nyan!" she directly jumped and hugged her making the kouhai squirm.
"Yui-senpai!"
As to the only ojou-sama, "My, my..." she sniffed while smiling blissfully, "Oyasuminasai, minna!"
After hearing the two bestfriend's door shut, blood trickle from Mugi's nose.
"Mugi-senpai!/Mugi-chan!" the two exclaimed in unison.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
While carrying the raven beauty towards the bed, she spoke. "Mio, if I did something wrong then I'm sorry."
The bassist was taken aback and looked up, "What are you sorry for? You didn't do anything wrong."
The latter stopped by the bed, "Are you sure?"
"Y-Yes..."
Ritsu then slowly settled her in the bed, "Whoops!"
"Th-Thanks..." ...I want to tell her... "R-Ritsu..."
"What is it?" the brunette ask while sitting beside her.
Mio suddenly fell silent making Ritsu looked at her in concern, "Mio?" she lightly shook the frozen latter by the shoulder. "Mio?!"
Ritsu suddenly became frantic after seeing tears in Mio's eyes. "Why are you crying?"
Mio dived in for a hug as she buried her face onto the drummer's neck, "I'm sorry!" she choked, "I'm really sorry, Ritsu!"
"Huh?" Ritsu raised an eyebrow while rubbing the bassist back to calm her down.
Mio is crying since she was torn between confessing or keeping their more than a decade of friendship intact. She just can't picture out herself without the brunette, eventhough the drummer is an idiot, a pain in the head and sometimes she can't understand. But those are the qualities that made her fall for her, because on the contrary; her bestfriend is reliable, some she can ran to and most of all, she knows how to make her 's why she fell in love with her. Deeply in love with her.
"Ritsu!" she cried more while clutching tighter onto the baffled brunette's almost soaked shirt, "I'm really sorry! Please don't hate me!"
"Why would I be? Come on, Mio..." she tried calming the bassist down, she really don't understand why. "Please stop crying..."
After a minute, Mio's sobs died down but still with a few sniffs because of her running nose. Ritsu pulled away and wiped some tears that still managed to escape the raven beauty's eyes. It pained Ritsu lookig at her crying, tears almost weld up inside her eyes as well but manage to break it off.
"Do you want to tell me something?"
This is it. This is the time that she needs to tell her how she feels, she can no longer take it anymore. Her heart is so heavy that she can't even carry it any longer. It's now or never.
"R-Ritsu..." Mio whispered while her eyes were glued down on her hands, she can't face the girl she loves right now. It'll really break her apart if she'll see a disgusted look on the drummer's face after her now-or-never confession.
"What is it, Mio?"
She can literally feel the drummer's amber eyes burning over her head, this made her swallow hard.
"I... I... I..." ...can't...
"You...?"
"I..." her words hang over her tongue again, she then gave a tight squeeze on her hands before exclaiming. "I LOVE YOU RITSU!" her eyes squinted as to her clenched fists. "And I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" her tears automatically slides down her redden cheeks.
Mio felt really down, like the whole world crashed on top of her. Much worse is that the girl she confessed to did not spoke a word. It made her even more frantic, 'She's disgusted of me right now. She's really disgusted if me right now!'
Mio turned away from the silent drummer, she then hugged her knees closer. But suddenly, she was engulf by a strong pair of arms and hug her in a protective manner. A chin was rested on top of her right shoulder, a small chuckle came. She became baffled in an instant, did she just heard the brunette laughed?
"Stop crying already, please Mio..." she whispered while hugging her closer, "I don't want to see my first love cry, okay?"
Mio's eyes went wide, 'What?' she hurriedly turned around and finds a smiling drummer, "What did you just say?"
Ritsu grinned, "I said, stop crying coz..." she then leaned closer making their noses touch, "I LOVE YOU TOO."
Mio's eyes went wide, she can't believe what she was hearing. Did she really hear Ritsu say she loves her? Her brain took a lot of time to process the words that came out from the brunette's mouth. Their just staring at each other for who know how long, the brunette kept smiling at her while she was what? Gaping with wide eyes. She certainly felt stupid for not doing anything.
Seconds later, Ritsu pulled away and waved a hand in front of the stunned beauty.
"Earth to Mio. Earth to Mio." she then scratched her head since the latter is like a statue, so she leaned closer and whispered in her right ear. "Lycopene..."
"Kyaaaah!"
Ritsu smirked when Mio jumped on her and hugged her with all her might. 'That still works huh?' she then gave a light chuckle. "Ow!"
"Baka!" Mio exclaimed while retrieving her fist as she pout.
"That hurts! I just said I love you too!" Ritsu pout as well while aiding her head.
"Shut up!" the raven beauty shot back while looking away, she didn't want to let the brunette see her red face.
'Hmm...' Ritsu eyed the latter for a moment before pulling her closer through waist, she then felt Mio tensed while looking back at her. She then slowly leaned closer leaving their lips two inches apart before whispering. "I have loved you for so long Mio. Eversince when we were still in grade school but, I can't tell you how I feel 'cause I don't want you to stay away from me. You are my bestfriend and if that means staying with me as like that will keep you by my side, then that thought itself already is okay with me." she then smiled.
Mio just stared at her in awe. The brunette then continued.
"But, I also thought about that someday you'll find a guy that'll make you happy. Yes, it hurts but if your happy with him then I'm also happy for you. But I'll be much more happy if you're with me. Yeah, I'm selfish I know." she then pout, "But I won't let a guy get ya without passing through me. He won't be able to get away with you without getting a beating from me!"
Mio blushed harder as her heart tries to jumped out from her ribcage. She can even hear it resounding through her red ears.
"I'm your knight remember? I won't let some stinky prince get my princess without a one on one battle with me!" she then grinned while slowly pulling Mio closer, "But I don't have to think about some stinky prince anymore, neh? Because the princess already fell in love with her knight."
Mio snapped out from her own little world before smiling back, she then snaked her arms around the latter's neck. "Yes, I don't think the knight should worry about some stinky prince anymore."
Ritsu then leaned in closer and captured her princess' lips. Mio responded back while pulling the latter closer as they kissed passionately. A kiss that was full of love.
As their tongues battled out, Ritsu pushed the raven beauty forward making her on top. Mio massages the brunette's head which driving her crazy. Both became to hot for their little session, Ritsu slowly broke the kiss since she doesn't want to get the situation out of hand. Not while the other members are around. Both tried to catch their breath while looking at each other's eyes.
"I love you Ritsu/Mio..." both said in unison making them flinched. Seconds later, they then bursted in a fitting cute laughter.
Ritsu kissed Mio's forehead making the latter blush even more, she then lay beside her princess who instantly curled beside her making her arm her pillow.
"What a baby..." Ritsu snorted earning her a light slap on her stomach.
"Well, you have to get used to it." Mio smiled victoriously before snuggling closer.
Ritsu could only smile, she then hug Mio closer.
-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-
Morning came, and a certain raven beauty woke up first. Her eyes directly went wide.
'The day repeated again?!' she instantly went frantic, she can't believe it's happening again. She was sure of herself that she needs to confess just to get out of the stupid time spirit's curse. The tension was building up inside her as her heartbeat went faster, "Aaaahhh!"
Her screamed alarmed the brunette making her fall off the bed in response, she directly stand up and looked at the girl who just woke her up.
"Wh-What happened? Are you okay, Mio?"
She flinched, 'It's still the same... Oh no...'
"Mio?"
"Huh? Ah, yeah... S-Sorry for waking you up..." she looked down, still confused.
The baffled latter looked at the confused raven haired girl in concern, "Why did you scream?"
"Th-..." she paused for a bit, thinking she should say the same lines again. "There's a s-spider near the bed."
Ritsu pulled back, "Oh man, I thought it was something else."
'This is so frustrating!' Mio mentally exclaimed as her lips tyrned into a pout.
"Neh. Mio..." Ritsu called making the pouting princess glance at her, "Did you know that your exploding with cuteness with that pout right now?"
'What?' Mio's eyes went wide, she can't believe that she heard a different line even without her initiating a topic. "What did-!"
Her words were cut off the moment Ritsu's lips made contact with her pouting ones. But seconds later the initiator pulled back, it was short but sweet in a surprising way. Mio couldn't help but blink out of confusion while all 'what's and how's' are swirling inside her head.
"D-D-Did you just k-k-k-iss m-me?" she stutteredly asked while her face turned into a bright red light.
Ritsu tilted her head while cocking an eyebrow, "Yeah, why are you so shock? It's not like this is our first kiss."
"F-F-First k-k-kiss?!"
The brunette chuckled seeing Mio's cute and priceless reaction, "If you think you're deaming last night then you're not, okay?" but later on, she heard a sob. She directly shot her head to look at the latter. "Eehh? Wh-Why are you crying Mio? Did I say something wrong?" frantically rubbing the sobbing girl's back, Mio's tears kept flowing. "I'm sorry for whatever it is that I said."
The bassist jumped on her drummer and hugged her with all her might. She can't believe that it's not the day she feared anymore. It's all done, she was release by the time spirit. Her tears weren't for sadness, yep, it's definitely happiness.
"Baka..." she whispered while hugging the confused drummer.
"Eh? Did I say something wrong?"
Mio pulled away and quickly wiped her tears away before interlocking a gaze with some amber orbs. She then smiled, "No, you didn't." snaking her arms behind the brunette's neck and whispered, "I love you so much Ritsu."
With that, Ritsu was taken aback but then smiled in return. She then slides her hands around the bassist while pushing her down making her on top. "I love you so much more Mio."
Their lips sealed the deal.
