AU where Ritsu and Mio are not childhood best friends and met in High School.
Meetings
Their first unofficial meeting was on the second day of high school.
Mio had made a wrong turn on the staircase, ending up in front of a roof access door instead of her english class. Her tiny streak of rebellion flared up, encouraging her to set outside and relax for a bit — she was late enough, she supposed.
And there she was, knocked out under the shade of the maintenance room like a lazy cat. The one, the only, soon to be best friend (and later, lover) of Mio Akiyama: Ritsu Tainaka.
Mio smiled to herself before turning back to the roof access door — least she could do was let the girl continue her nap in peace.
(But their VERY first unofficial meeting was a few years before this, at a neighborhood supermarket. Ritsu's mother wished she had recorded her daughter knocking over a stack of melons for the sake of watching a pretty girl leave, never to be seen again. Oh, but Ritsu would forever swear it was because she had tripped over her own shoe lace.)
And their first official meeting went something like this, a few days later:
"Hey, you must be new." Ritsu smiled, casually sitting across from the new girl in gym class, despite owning a locker down the aisle.
Mio looked up from tying her sneakers — a few of her acquaintances had warned her about the number of flirts throughout the school and how they "might hit on Akiyama-san because she's so attractive!"
"Yes I am." Mio replied cooly, tying up her hair. It wouldn't be right to assume that this girl was hitting on her, but if push came to shove, she'd let her down gently. (At her old high school, Mio was infamous for gentle, but cold rejections from countless suitors, male or female.)
"Wait a minute …" Ritsu said, looking at Mio closely. Mio arched an eyebrow and locked up her gym locker. "... you look familiar."
Down the aisle of lockers was Yui, Ritsu's best friend, who mumbled her breath, "Oh no, here it comes…" knowing exactly what kind of game Ritsu was playing —
"... Did you move into Oakswood last week?" (Yui would never let Ritsu forget how she failed to flirt with the new girl that day.)
Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything, college is currently kicking my ass. (I'm on winter break right now so, that explains the half-assed update.) Nothing too serious with this one, just trying a concept out. Lemme know what you think!
