First Romance
Hi, and welcome to my 2nd K-On! fanfic, and this will be a step from my usual stories where most of them involve action and adventure. While my other K-On! fic, New Apprentices, is still ongoing, I decided to try an experiment to see how this fic goes.
While this is one of my favorites, I noticed that this series is similar to the other anime, Maria-Sama ga Miteru, as it features mostly shoujo, and not a single boy is shown having interest in any of the female protagonists, and seeing that most of the fics in the K-On! category have romance elements between the girls, I decided to try out pairing one of the heroines with a boy.
Luckily, I happened to watch episode 13 of K-On!, and there I saw Ritsu Tainaka's younger brother, Satoshi. Though I'm not sure about his age, but given his height, I can assume that he is now in junior high just like Azusa Nakano. And after some through thinking, I decided to pair him and Mio, since I find them…interesting.
How here goes my experiment…
Disclaimer: I don't own K-On!
New Years Day. Everyone is celebrating and so is the Afterschool Tea Time. They all went to the shrine to offer their prayers, and hope that something good would happen to their lives. Even though they gained moderate success in school because of their band performance, nothing quite good came out, as the membership is still five, and despite the good reactions they got from the crowd, no one seemed interested in joining the Light Music Club.
Although it didn't daunted their spirits, the Afterschool Tea Time members began to offer prayers to have their wishes granted the moment they arrived. Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Tsumugi and Azusa, positioned themselves and began to offer their prayers.
Yui: "More delicious foods…new members for the Light Music Club…we get to perform at the Bukodan…we might get spotted by a talent manager…we get to perform live at a concert…"
Ritsu: "New members so once we graduated, Azusa-chan won't feel lonely…the Light Music Club will remain open after we graduated…perform at the Bukodan…me and my friends will remain together forever…"
Azusa: "New members...the Light Music Club stays open...enter college with my sempai's..."
Tsumugi: "Remain with my friends...new members for the Light Music Club once we graduate...lose weight...my family staff would stop spoiling my friends whenever we have villa visits..."
Mio: "Perform at the Bukodan...no more stalkers...stop being a scaredy-cat...Ritsu and Sawa-chan stop teasing me...lose weight...new inspiration..."
But then Ritsu whispered to Mio which the long-haired beauty got suckered into, much to the delight of her friends, as she easily got tricked into saying what Ritsu just suggested..
"Get a boyfriend..."
"Get a boyfriend...WHA...?"
Mio blushed deeply as Ritsu chuckled loudly along with the others, with the exception of Azusa, finding it disrespectful for her interruption.
"Don't worry, Mio...you'll land a boyfriend sooner than you hope for..."
"Don't interrupt me when I'm praying!"
"It's not a bad wish, Mio-chan...eventually we all get to entertain suitors...right, Mugi-chan?"
"Well...I'm getting a lot of suitors lately...but I haven't given my answer yet since I'm busy with school and the club..."
Everyone's reactions were"!" upon hearing this, and as they all inquired, Mio was spacing out, since most of her admirer were members of her fanclub, as well as the recently graduated Megumi Sokabe,who was the most visible admirer when Mio started out as the bass player of the Afterschool Tea Time. She wondered if some boy would approach her though there hasn't been any as of late, but soon fate will change within the coming days.
A Few days later, Mio decided to drop byat Ritsu's house to get the CD player that Ritsu borrowed but forgotten to return it, and since it is weekend, she has the free time to visit. As she knocked the door, Satoshi was there to answer it, and she was quite taken aback by what she saw. Satoshi Tainaka remained the same, same height as Azusa though he has gotten a lot cuter, and since she got to know him since she and Ritsu were childhood friends, there was no awkwardness on both of them.
"Hi, Satoshi-kun...is your sister there?"
"Ah, good day, Mio-sempai...onee-chan's taking a shower...why not come inside?"
"Thank you..."
As she got in, a few minutes later the younger Tainaka sibling offered her food and drinks, though Satoshi was starting to notice Mio, seeing her blooming but he brushed it off at first. by then she saw her CD player on top of a shelf and decided to get it herself by climbing a stool and Satoshi offered to assist her.
"Here...let me help you..."
"No, It's okay...thanks..."
But then the stool became unstable and she fell, but luckily Satoshi caught her but both fell to the floor, with Mio landing on top, and as both opened their eyes, their cheeks went red, as both their lips were almost touching, but then they seem to be frozen, staring at each other. As Mio was a bit shocked, she couldn't bring herself to get off, her eyes began to get entrance at the younger boy, as if he seem to have taken her attention.
Satoshi, despite knowing her since he was younger, was also entrance, as his elder sister's friend since her childhood, finds himself drawn to her as her face was nearing his, and he couldn't think straight as if an "angel" came from Heaven, but then their musings were interrupted as a voice spoke and this caused more awkward tension between the two.
"Err…sorry…I didn't mean to interrupt…I'll leave you guys alone now so you can enjoy your "tender moments"…Satoshi…please take care of her…she's very vulnerable and needs a shining knight by her side…but don't try to force yourself on her…she may not be ready…"
Mio went dark gray and screamed aloud while Satoshi remained still, his entire head went red after what he just heard and couldn't utter a rebuttal, in which the Tainaka house became very loudly.
"KKKKYYYAAA!"
"Whoa...not too loud, Mio!"
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING INDECENT!"
"T-that's right, onee-chan...Mio-sempai fell and I caught her..."
"Easy...I'm just kidding...oh, the CD player that I borrowed...I left it at the repair shop yesterday...I'll get it back tomorrow...the CD player you got is mine...you can borrow it if you like...it's still functional..."
"EH? Then i went to all the trouble..."
"Well you did land on my brother..."
"..."
"Then I guess you did "fall" for him, he-he-he..."
"RITSU!"
"Onee-chan!"
Both teens blushed deeply while Ritsu had a good time teasing her brother and Mio, seeing that her day isn't complete without poking a little fun. Later Mio left as Ritsu promised to bring the CD player by Monday, and by the end of the day, Satyoshi was at his room, his memory still fresh on the awkward moment, wondering why he is feeling like this since he saved Mio from getting seriously hurt, yet he is starting to develop feeling s for her.
"Why am I feeling this...? All I did was break her fall and now this..."
At her house, Mio was still in a daze about what happened art Ritsu's house, she almost gave her first kiss away, and her mind is debating on what to do with what happened. Sure Satoshi is a nice kid, but HIM as a possible love interest? She wasn't sure what to do with this as this feeling was starting to bug her, wondering what she sees in him other than being her friend's younger borther.
"Satoshi...though he did break my fall...why am I thinking of things about him...?"
To Be Continued...
Feelings developed after that awkward moment, though Satoshi's actions were really gallant, and this is where romance begin to bloom, and this is where Mio's social life gets a challenge apart from being the core member of the Afterschool Tea Time.
Preview:
A bit of a drama as Mio gets in to danger and who else would come to her rescue?
Expect a lot of romantic elements in the next chapter.
