A/N: Hey, guys :3 Puttin' my Percy Jackson fanfic on hold because I can't seem to figure out how to describe some things. This'll probably be a longer one. It's sort of like a breather from what I have to deal with irl :/ ***Note: The crew are in college and this IS an AU. Yuri is included so if that bothers you, please kindly press the back arrow and vacate the premises. There is fluff, flirting, misadventures, and just derps XD*** Anyways~ R&R is always appreciated!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN K-ON OR ANY OF ITS RELATED THINGS IN THIS FANFICTION.

Ritsu's POV

Mio was attempting to shake me awake, but I was playing coy. "Riitsu…! If we don't leave soon, we'll be late!" She shook me harder and then sighed. "If you don't get up soon, I'll do something horrible to you..."

I contemplated waiting for her to do this so called "horrible" thing… It couldn't be kissing because we already settled that I would be fine with it. She knew how I swung and all.

"Like hit you~"

… That was NOT what I wanted her to do…

Quick as a flash, I was up. However, I didn't account for the fact that we had bunk-beds, and I was the lower bunk. I slammed my head into the bottom of her bunk and cringed. "Ooowww…"

Mio looked at me and started laughing. "Idiot!" She calmed down after a while and then grinned to me. "Come on, we're gonna be late~"

I pouted and then crawled out of bed. "Fiiine…" She handed me some toast. "This is it…?"

Mio just shrugged. "It's your fault for getting up late. I already ate."

"Whaa… Miooo…" I gave her my best puppy-dog face.

She stared at me for a few minutes and then turned away. "Fine… There's some left over bacon you can eat on the way, too…"

I laughed happily. "Yay!" She was totally hiding a blush~ I quickly changed and then looked around. "Mio?"

"Hm?" She was over by the door waiting on me.

"You seen my headband anywhere?" My bangs were flailing about in front of my eyes as I looked for my trusty yellow headband.

My best friend just shrugged. "We're gonna be late on the first day, Ritsu. Hurry up! Just leave it." She did mention something about liking my hair better down… I bet she hid it.

I signed and then grabbed my stuff. "Fine~ Let's go~" I jogged over and put on my shoes. We left the apartment and headed for school.

~~~ At School ~~~

"I'll see ya later~" I jogged off to my art class. Everyone in the band was really surprised when I had classical art as one of my classes. They were equally surprised when they saw a home ec. class. Mio yelled a bye after me and went off to her literature class.

Art was pretty boring to be fair. It was usually just learning mediums and things at the beginning of the year. After that we actually started drawing, painting, molding, etc. I doodled on my page of notes.

A shape soon took form to be a wonderfully drawn Akiyama Mio. She was posed like she was looking out a window. Afternoon rays were highlighting her beautiful form and a slight smile.

She had finally started relaxing when we entered college. Sadly, she had also started dating guys. I would usually get worried sick at night when she came back late. She always smelled of alcohol and was drunk. Sometimes she would come back depressed because the guy turned out to be a jerk…

I would then comfort her and let her sleep on the bottom bunk. She liked the top bunk more, but if you've tried to lift someone up onto the top bunk of a bunk-bed, it's about as hard as trying to convince someone to join a music club. Trust me, I know both of these from experience.

After she'd be situated in the bed, I would then make sure to wake up early and have something warm for her to drink to help the hangover. I had already resolved to be a bit more mature when we got into college. I also had to resist teasing her at every opportunity… That was probably the hardest thing to do…

Class ended right when I finished the drawing. The person next to me gasped. He stared at it and then asked, "Who's that? She looks so pretty…"

I looked up and grinned slightly. "My best friend." I gathered my stuff up and then left for my next class.

I left before I could hear the guy say anything about asking her name or the likes. What he didn't know is that Mio was way too beautiful to be able to be drawn. I grinned happily as I strolled to my next class.

Mio's POV

After Ritsu left, I felt the hole in my heart again. It was never there when she was there, but was always there when she wasn't. 'Maybe I just miss my best friend…' I walked into my classroom and sat down beside Mugi. "Muugii…" I collapsed onto the blonde's shoulder. "Ritsu's still acting funny…" I felt tears teetering on the edge.

Mugi just petted my head. "Hey, come on, now. Cheer up, Mio. She's probably just acting funny because she has an art project due soon…"

"Eh? Does she? She never said anything…" I couldn't help but feel left out. Before, she always told me things first. Now it felt like we were slowly separating. It was like when she didn't want to play drums anymore.

"Well… That's what I assume…" Mugi started zoning out again.

"Oi… Mugi…?" I sighed. She was gone in her fantasy again. Everyone had already established that she was bisexual, Ritsu was a lesbian along with Yui and Azusa (who are now happily dating.) Class started and I calmed myself down. There's no way this was a permanent thing, right? Just like the drums, she'll quickly get over it and be back to her normal, cheerful self… Right?

Before I realized what I was doing, I was already thinking about my fun times with her. Everything was better when she was around. It was like when she was sick, and the whole entire band felt different without her happy drumming.

After class ended, I started packing my things. "Mio-chan?" Mugi was looking at me curiously.

"Huh?"

"I asked if you wanted to meet at the café later." There was a nearby café that we play at a lot. Tons of college kids tend to meet there to just relax and have some cheap but nice tasting stuff. It was called Natsu no Yoru.

"Uh, sure. After school?"

She nodded. "We can finish the discussion about Ritsu there, too."

I smiled happily. "Sure. Sounds like a plan." I waved and walked out to my next class. The rest of the day passed by relatively uneventfully and I met Mugi at the café. She had apparently invited the only couple in the band, Yui and Azusa. That took me by surprise and I settled down for a nice talk. The area was a secluded part that you could only see what was going on if you walked in.

A/N:And that ends chapter one! :D thanks for reading and once again, R&R is much appreciated~Sorry that Mio's is so short btw |||OTL
