Its been a long time : )
Since I've been gone for two years, I'm going to fast forward a bit to the future. Past events will occur as recollections or reflections of current day characters. Read the bottom comments for more information. Special thanks to Truner for reminding me about formatting and such.
Mio sighed as she leaned back in her chair, her exam finished.
Man it feels good to be done, she thought.
The beautiful raven haired girl glanced around the classroom and noticed that she was probably the first one finished.
She pushed her legs against the ground and stood up, grabbing her test and started to head towards the front of the room. "Here sensei, I'll see you tomorrow," she said politely, bowing slightly.
Keisuke sensei grinned, "Wow that was fast Mio, on top of your studies as usual I see. Yep, see you tomorrow Kiddo." Mio smiled politely and made her exit from the classroom and started to walk down the hallway lost in thought. Yui…I can't wait to see you...
Her heartbeat quickened and her pace started to pick up, it took all her self control to not sprint down the hallway, leap down the stairs, tumble and back handspring her way out the door wa-okay Mio, now your imagination is getting the better of you,She thought, giggling slightly to herself at the ridiculous thought.
As soon as she reached the exit of the Pharmaceutical Sciences building she reached into her school jacket pocket to call Yui.
"Moshi Moshhh," came Yui's delighted voice from the other end.
"Yui…I miss you so much," Mio said, smiling happily from hearing her love's voice on the other end.
"I miss you too baby, are we still meeting tomorrow?"
"Of course we are," responded Mio, pulling her jacket closer as she started to make her way towards her apartment. "I've been looking forward to it for what seems like…forever!" she exclaimed.
"Don't be silly cutie, It's only been a month you know," responded Yui nonchalantly.
"But a month is a long time isn't it?" responded Mio, feeling slightly irritated. "I sometimes feel like you don't miss me at all!"
It was true, Yui was absentminded and easily distracted.
Whatever was in front of the brown haired guitarist usually occupied most of her attention and it turned out Yui easily got bored of long conversations on the phone. Long distance relationships were definitely not her strong suit.
It wasn't as if Yui was purposely trying to sabotage the relationship but sometimes her carelessness and forgetfulness really hurt Mio.
"Don't be ridiculous Mio, I've been thinking about you every day you know!" Yui said in her self proclaimed 'strong and sincere' voice. "Besides, we have to celebrate your 3rd year at Tokyo U! I'll bring my guitar and we can totally jam out!"
Mio smiled, tomorrow she would see her lover and they had the apartment all to themselves for the entire weekend. It would be like living as a married couple. Mio's face flushed as she thought about Yui's slender calloused fingers, her warm tongue…her…
Mio blushed fiercly as she picked up the pace, she didn't want to be feeling this way when she got on the metro to her apartment.
Mio's breath came out in small clouds of condensation and she smiled, letting happiness wash over her. Pretty soon, she could have a stable job as a pharmacist, buy a house for her and Yui…fund the band and help make connections with record labels…she could do anything if she worked hard enough.
The dark haired bassist formed a fist and pumped it in the air before blushing furiously as a couple walking by stopped to stare at her.
Mio smiled awkwardly and hurried past them, picking up her pace slightly. These days it was extremely hard not to attract attention.
In the few years that had passed since her keion highschool days, she had grown a few inches, her rigorous exercise schedule kept her waist very slender while her body filled out nicely in other areas.
Her face especially had slimmed down a bit and lost some of its childlike pudginess, giving her a more mature look. Guys and girls alike would confess to her daily or ask her to come out to parties and social events and it didn't help that she was a minor celebrity for being the bass player in the K-on band. Seniors from the University's light music band constantly asked her to stop by and practice and it was the only extracurricular activity she would indulge in once in a while.
Despite all of the attempts from her classmates to socialize, Mio would politely refuse each day and remind herself to stay focused on her and Yui's future, the success of their band and maintaining this long distance relationship.
Mio had to admit it was hard at times and whether she liked it or not… she sometimes felt a strange longing to just let loose and party it up with her classmates once in a while.
Mio sighed, pushing away her longing and focused her mind on Yui. Yui…you keep me going…I couldn't have done this if I didn't have you… She smiled a little bit, feeling encouraged and headed her way into the metro station.
Yui on the other hand had not done so well on her college entrance exams and was living at home as a ronin.
Her parents seemed wealthy though so she wasn't particularly stressed but it irritated Mio that her girlfriend lazed around the house eating all day while she struggled each day to make…well, I guess in the end they're my dreams. She's just happy being with me isn't she…
Mio sighed, thinking about her girlfriend.
Yui had transformed dramatically over the past few years. The young girl stayed amazingly slender despite her complete lack of diet and exercise and had lost all of her cute pudginess.
Yui's healthy brown hair now hung down to her back in a similar style to Mio's old hair and she often tied it up rocker style, copying popular bands and trends and sometimes dying parts of it different colors.
She only grew an inch or so since highschool so she still looked very young in Mio's opinion but she looked a lot prettier now nonetheless. The greatest change was Yui's guitar playing. She was a prodigy back then and with a few years of practice, she was notorious throughout all of Japan.
Because of Yui, their band had been the main attraction of celebrity talk shows and they had even been invited to some comedy gag shows that they had politely declined. Instead of studying and working hard, Yui had become successful through polishing her raw talent alone, something Mio had to admit she was a bit jealous of.
As she sat down on an empty street on the metro, she sighed again thinking back to the day she announced her decision to temporarily quit the band and to go on to college.
Ritsu had completely flipped out, going on a rant with Yui excitedly repeating Ritsu's various comments while jumping up and down behind her about how this was the best time to make it. Mugi and Azusa completely supported her though and convinced the other two that they would make it eventually anyhow. Afterall, they would always be friends…right?
Mio sighed, realizing that it was her fault that the band hadn't met in over six months and despite her best efforts, staying in contact with Ritsu, Mugi and Azusa was becoming decidedly more difficult.
She closed her eyes and hummed the lyrics of their latest single, 'Don't say Lazy' to herself, tapping her foot gently to the rhythm.
Come on Mio…Ritsu pleaded, grabbing her sleeve and looking at her with puppy dog eyes. "We can do it I know we can…"
Mio blinked her eyes open at the memory and smiled slightly. We will be the best rock gods in Japan Ritsu…be patient.
EDIT: I felt bad about being lazy and rushed about this fic so I went back, did some research and plan on putting a bit more effort into it.
Review with grammar/plot hole fixes so I can go back and edit. Revising my chapters with feedback from the readers is a major part of my story creation process. As usual I am speed-writing without a whole lot of pre-planning.
