The girls entered Mugi's house. It was already six o' clock when they had arrived, the night was young.
"We can all sleep in my bedroom tonight." The pianist motioned the other girls to follow after her.
Azusa and Yui ascended the stairs together followed by Mio and Ritsu.
"You promise you're going to study and do your work when we get back home?" The bassist told the girl.
"Yeah, yeah..." She shrugged, which meant she agreed to it.
"Ritsu i'm serious." She held her hand as they stopped walking.
"I said yeah, didn't I?" She turned to look at the girl.
"Promise. Say you promise." Mio told her.
The brunette sighed. "Yes Mio, I promise." She crossed her heart with her free hand.
"Ok. Good. Now keep it." She released her hand.
Ritsu shook her head as she continued walking. "Yes mom.." She said quietly before making her way to Mugi's room.
The blondie's room was certainly spacious. All the girls could sleep on the ground without hitting each other.
Azusa and and Yui entered as Mugi held the door. Mio caught up with the other girls shortly after. Ritsu didn't join the group, she wanted to talk to Mugi about Rin's clothes first.
"Can I talk to you?" She whispered to the pianist.
"Oh" she looked as the drummer gestured to her bag. "Ok, let me tell the other girls."
"You guys we'll be right back. Ritsu and I have to take care of something first." The drummer waved from the back.
"Ok" Yui spoke for the group.
Mio looked between Mugi and Ritsu as they left the door and headed out.
'What are you doing Ritsu...' She thought to herself before setting her bag down.
Once they were at a safe distance Mugi took Ritsu's hand and led her into a random guest room.
The brunette looked around before she closed the door. Mugi lit a little lamp as the brunette set her bag on the bed and pulled out a black sack filled with Rin's clothes.
"Sorry, I didn't have time to laundry them.." She scratched her head in embarassment.
"It's fine Ritsu, really." She accepted the bag.
They stood in silence as the room remained dimly lit.
"So, uhh. How are things with that guy?" Ritsu asked curiously.
"It's...complicated." She finished slowly.
"Complicated?" She moved closer to the blondie. "How so?"
Mugi felt her heart race as she looked at the girl. She didn't respond.
"I thought we already went through this." She moved even closer to the girl. Ritsu took her hand. "No more secrets between us..." She reminded her.
"I...know" She could feel the familiar hands that held hers. They were Ritsu's, the girl who she had grown to like as more than a friend. "But..."
"Is it really that embarassing?" She smirked at the girl.
Her cerulean eyes shifted to observe the brunette's face. The lighting made her look twice as playful with her expression. She stood speechless.
Ritsu ran her left hand along Mugi's smooth, blonde hair. She had never done it before. The texture was different from Mio's. "You can tell me anything, you know that right."
"I know" her head dropped as Ritsu stopped stroking her hair. Her face felt hot.
"Then tell me." She told her softly. Her hand touched the bottom of Mugi's face slowly lifting it up. The girl wore an expression she'd never seen before. Her eyes glistened at Ritsu. 'Is she scared?' She thought to herself.
It felt difficult for Mugi to breathe. 'Is this what confessing feels like?' She asked herself as her chest tightened.
"It's-"
"Ritsu? Mugi?" Someone yelled from outside.
The brunette knew whose voice it belonged to - Mio's.
"Quick, here." Mugi took the black bag and Ritsu's hand as she led her into a closet.
"Mugi? Ritsu?" The sound grew louder as Mio walked along the hall.
The brunette noticed that the closet was the smallest she'd ever been in. Mugi and her body were pressed closely together. Their faces were only inches apart and their heartbeats raced against each other's. The pianist didn't realize that she was still holding Ritsu's hand. She squeezed it tightly as the girl looked at her. 'This is certainly quite the predicament.' She thought to herself.
The doorknob opened as footsteps could be heard from just outside. "Ritsu?" Mio looked around.
'Oh no, what if she catches what Mugi's holding? I'll be dead for sure!' The drummer thought. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness as Mugi mouthed a word - relax.
Mio stopped to check the closet when someone else spoke from outside.
"Mio, I think they're here!" Yui yelled.
"Ok" she took several steps back before leaving the room.
When they both thought it was safe they exited the closet. Mugi did her best to recollect herself. She waved the heat off of her face with her hand. Ritsu swallowed hard and took a deep breath.
"That was too close." They said in unison. Mugi and Ritsu looked at each other before breaking into a grin and smile.
"Let's go" the pianist motioned to the door. Ritsu shook her head as she followed the girl out.
"Where could they have gone?" Mio thought as Yui led them to another empty guest room.
"I guess they're not here..." The guitarist said with disappointment.
"We should probably go back." Azusa suggested. "They should be there by now."
"Maybe you're right." Mio gave it some thought. "Let's head back."
The three girls walked back to Mugi's room.
The two walked to the kitchen. Mugi took a bag and placed some snacks and drinks into it. After disappearing for a moderately long time she thought it best for them to bring peace offerings. It would be bad if they got suspicious.
Ritsu decided to stay quiet as she leaned onto the counter. She watched Mugi collect the goodies as she turned and her blonde hair flew around. 'She's kind of cute...' She silently thought to herself. Her eyes blinked twice. 'Wait, what am I thinking?' She turned to the side to look at something else. 'You can't check her out like that, it just seems...wrong.'
Mugi finished and made her way to Ritsu. "All finished." She looked at her.
"R-Right." She walked ahead of the girl. Mugi smiled and followed after the drummer.
"Where did you guys go?" Yui asked the two as they all sat on the ground.
The two exchanged looks. "We had to get some food." Mugi replied calmly as she held out the bag of goodies.
"Yay!" Yui clapped her hands in excitement.
Ritsu took a cookie and sat next to Mio. The bassist shot an eye between the drummer and Mugi. Was that all they did? She couldn't help but wonder.
"So what should we do first?" Azusa asked.
"Why don't we play a game?" Ritsu suggested.
"Like truth or dare?" Yui replied.
'Not that again...' Mio thought to herself.
The guitarist looked for any objections. The bassist didn't say a word.
"So we'll go in this order - Yui, Azusa, Me, Ritsu and Mio." Mugi stated and pulled out the bottle.
"Me first!" The guitarist exclaimed. She spun it, which eventually landed on the pianist.
"Truth" she replied.
"Hmm" she thought hard before asking. "If we were all boys, who would you go out with?"
Mugi giggled lightly. "To be honest..." She looked at the girls. "I think Ritsu would be the best looking boy in the room. So I would go with her."
The drummer dropped her head as her cheeks flushed. The question was somewhat true. She was flattered by Mugi's response.
"Aww, Haha." Yui laughed before Azusa spun it. The victim was Ritsu.
"Dare" she decided to be a little bold today.
"I dare you to kiss the person on the cheek for whoever this lands on."
She spun it, which landed on Mio.
"Too easy" She said with a grin and pressed her lips to the girl's cheek beside her.
Mio turned a little pink as Ritsu leaned back with her arms supporting her.
It was now Mugi's turn. She spun the bottle as it landed on the drummer once more.
"Uh...truth?"
"If you were the only boy here, who would you date?"
"M-" she stopped herself from saying the truth. Wouldn't it be obvious if she said Mio? "Umm, you Mugi." She quickly saved herself.
The pianist smiled and touched her face which felt slightly hot. "Final answer?" She didn't seem content with the girl's response.
"Y-Yeah.." Ritsu averted her gaze. Would she really date Mugi? She slowly looked at the girl. The pianist was pretty and nice, it wasn't a complete lie. "Yes, I would..." She turned to scratch her head.
Mio looked at Ritsu. She was sure that her best friend would choose her. She felt a little jealous since the drummer picked Mugi.
Yui an Azusa obsered the three carefully. This was just like what happened during the camping trip. The only difference was that Ritsu replaced Rin.
The brunette was next. She spun the bottle as it landed on Mio.
"Truth"
"Of course..." Mio wouldn't be bold enough to do a dare. "Uhh, what's the most important part to you if you were in a relationship?"
The bassist gave it some thought. "Trust" she said quietly. "He has to be truthful and I have to trust him."
Ristu's heart sank. Rin's identity was a lie, all of it was. She looked down at her hands with a sad expression in her amber eyes.
Mio was next as she spun the bottle. It landed on Ritsu.
"Aww, no fair!" Yui pouted. "It's not landing on us..." She motioned to Azusa and her.
"Truth" she said quietly.
"What happened to your hand?" Mio asked quickly.
'Oh snap, I hadn't really thought of a really great lie...' She thought to herself.
Azusa and Yui leaned in to see Ritsu's mildly swollen hand. They were eager to hear the answer.
"Oh, uhh" she tried to hide it from Mio. "I..." She was so sure the bassist had dropped the subject from earlier. "I fell down and got injured." She lied.
"Where?"
"I fell down...a really long slope when we went to this one place." She looked up. "I forgot where..." Her hand scratched the top of her head.
Mio stared intently at the girl. "I never thought you'd be that clumsy." She leaned back and stopped interrogating her.
"Yeah, me either." She masked her face with a smile.
"One more round?" Yui asked the girls since they hadn't been chosen at all. The girls nodded in agreement.
The girls lay down on the ground. They had grown tired of spin the bottle.
"We should play something else." Azusa suggested.
"Like..." Yui looked around. "Seven minutes in heaven!"
The girls looked at her.
"You guys know how to play right?" She glanced at each of the girls.
"Yes" they agreed.
"Ok, then we'll do it like this." Mugi explained to the girls how they would play.
