Well, here's chapter 2, I really hope you like it!
As stated before, please forgive any OOC-ness.
Normally, I detest the use of Japanese words in fanfics or web comics (weeaboos donotwant) without relevance, but since it seems to fit for an anime like K-On, so, things like 'sensei' instead of teacher will be used, since it would seem out of place to use the English alternative…So if that annoys you too, I'm sorry in advance.
I don't own K-on or any of the characters!
I finally reached the school, I was late, but…I got there, right? That was surely good enough. I stood in front of the classroom door and slowly opened it. I wanted to try my best to not bring attention to myself. I made a step forward, tripped on myself, conveniently enough, and had all eyes on me. I heard a scuff come from Mio's direction and several laughs come from my peers.
"I-I'm sorry, Sawako-sensei…", I said, sounding incredibly insincere; she glared at me and I continued. "I'm late because I over slept, however I rushed over here as soon as I could", a full blown lie, but who could ever look at this innocent face and accuse me of being a liar? She scolded me a bit and told me to head to my seat.
"Please forgive Ritsu, she really can't help being a spazz", a witty reply spoken by no other but Mio.
"Eh!", I exclaimed. "Why must you be so cruel, Mio?", I wined and let out a few fake tears and whimpers. She merely rolled her eyes and turned back around facing the front of the class. Deep down I know it pains her to see me in such obvious distress.
Class was boring as usual, and once it ended I revealed a smile that practically covered my entire face. I've never been so happy to see class end, though, I usually was pretty cheerful when I heard the sound of the school bell ring to end the day, however, more so today since I had quite the plan up my sleeve.
The girls and I all came together to meet in the music room, as we did every school day. We gathered around the table and automatically commenced the eating of our favorite treats. Today looked like another one of those days when we'd eat and not set a foot near our instruments, that sat in the corner collecting dust; excluding, of course, Yui's precious Gitah, which she attempted to feed but reluctantly stopped after getting scolded by Azusa-nyan.
"Must we always come here to eat? We're the Light Music Club after all, we should be practicing!" Mio complained, however, from her tone of voice you could tell her feelings toward our current 'club activity' was softening, but she wanted it to appear like she was being the mature one who actually wanted to do at least a bit of practicing. Azusa nodded in agreement while Yui, Mugi, and I shed a slight feeling of guilt, but truly only a slight feeling.
"You know what's a really good question? Why must you complain all the time? Eh?" I asked her. "You know you love this as much as the rest of us!". I looked down at the table at a cake I had yet to touch. I plucked off the strawberry that was sitting on top of it, which was covered in a bit of icing. I held it with my thumb and index finger, held the strawberry to Mio's face and poked it at her mouth, gesturing to her to open wide.
"Stop it!" she pleaded. Her resistance only made me more persistent.
"But, Mio! I know you love strawberries!" I only spoke the truth, she loved this red fruit more than anything. I could see her give in, so I gave a final poke with the strawberry and she opened her mouth. I began to slide the strawberry in. As she closed her mouth, her soft lips came in contact with my fingers and I swore I could have died of happiness, right then and there. Mio noticed our unexpected contact and blushed a bit, though, no one but me seemed to notice. "See, I knew you'd give in!" I said with a faint laugh, trying to quickly break the awkwardness that was starting to form between the two of us. She tried to appear mad at my witty comment but couldn't help but let out a smirk.
The sun was starting to set and the day was beginning to end. With all the eating we had done, we all looked like balloons as we waddled our way to the door to leave. We said our goodbyes and proceeded to go our separate ways.
Mio and I were walking home together, as we always did. I very much enjoy these little walks, since it's one of the few times I get to be alone with Mio, these days. Sadly, even though I was happy that her and I were walking together, I was a bit annoyed at the lack of conversation we were having. I had to break the silence. I lifted my arms and started to stretch; I decided to move my arm behind Mio and but it around her shoulder, like those clever boys do at the movie theater on TV. She jumped, seeming startled and quickly turned to look at my face while hers' was starting to redden like a tomato. She opened her mouth as though she wanted to say something, but closed it soon after. I looked away from her, slightly reddening in the face as well. I couldn't believe that I was actually holding Mio in this manner, but loving every moment of it.
"Mio, you ever think that people wonder if we're an item since we always walk home together?", I said in a taunting voice. I looked at her, not believing that someone's face could get that deep red, it was cute beyond all reason.
"What kind of question is that!" she said in a high pitched squeal. "They will if you keep on touching me like this!" She then proceeded to remove my arm from her shoulder. I was starting to miss the warmth of her body once my arm was once again at my side. There was barely anyone around, so there really was no need to be embarrassed. I felt so daring though, acting in a way that normal "couples", if you could even call us that, would act outside in public, it gave me a slight rush, but I knew I had to come back down to Earth and face reality. Silence overcame the two of us again, and nothing much was said till we got to Mio's home.
"Goodbye, Mio-darling!" I said in that taunting voice she was very familiar with and then blew a kiss, just so I could see her blush again. She, as I thought, blushed, appeared like she wanted to say something, stopped, and then finally decided to slam the door in my face. I started to bang on the door, doing my signature whining and crying, "Mio! You didn't even tell me goodbye!" She open her door, ever so slightly, knowing that I wouldn't leave until she fulfilled my request, and said in a low-cold voice "Bye, Ritsu" and once again closed the door in my face.
I finished the walk home alone, thinking back on the time we spent together just moments ago. I reached the door of my home, but right before I touched the door handle, my phone began to ring. I looked at it and saw that I received a text from Mio. It read: "Ritsu! Please hurry over!". I quickly began to send a text in response to hers: "Y?" I never was a fan of writing out the whole word when doing it this way was much quicker. A few seconds later my phone began to ring and I looked back at my phone to read what she had sent. I smiled and then said to myself, "Ha, I knew it would work! Mio, here I come!"
Sadly, I see the next chapter being the last.
This was pretty fun to write, though.
I hope you liked reading it as much as I did writing it!
I'll try to get chapter 3 out as soon as I can!
If you're wondering what Mio said in that last text, I'll reveal it to you in the next chapter, so you'll eventually be in the loop. ;D
