"Why are you mad at me!" you shouted with anger.

"I'm not! You're just stupid!"

"What! I didn't even do anything wrong!"

You could sense that this fight wasn't going to go anywhere and knowing Mio, she probably wouldn't tell you what was bothering her. You know you should have just apologized for whatever you did and let it go, but your stupid pride wouldn't let you.

"Come on Mio, what did I do wrong? Just tell me!"

"No! Just drop it Ritsu!"

Getting more and more frustrated at your raven-haired bassist's child-like antics you made a move towards the door, before you reconsidered and decided that, no, you weren't going to just 'drop' it. Mio was going to have to learn whether she liked it or not that she can't always get mad at you and never explain herself. You demanded answers, damn it!

Standing in front of your very very stubborn and confusing best friend you grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the walls. Even though you were slightly shorter than Mio, she wasn't exactly the strongest person on the face of the earth.

"Ritsu! Ritsu, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

You felt her straining against your hands, but that just made you grip down harder. You weren't about to let her go.

"No! Damn it, Mio! Listen to me!" , you exclaimed. Taking notice of the fear and shock in her eyes you felt your heart tighten a bit, but still made no notion of loosening your grip.

You took a deep breath in...

"Mio, you're my best friend, you know that. I don't know what's bothering you or what I did to make you this mad, but I didn't mean to, not intentionally at least. And if you don't tell me, I won't know how to make this better. I don't like it when we fight or when something's bothering you and I can't fix it. I hate it, Mio. So please, please just tell me what's wrong. Please."

Staring hard into her eyes, you hoped that she would open up to you. Instead, she turned her head away in attempt to avert your gaze.

"...Mio look at me. I don't like it when you're like this," you pleaded sincerely.

Face glowing bright red, she reluctantly locks eyes with you. You can feel her body trembling next to yours as she starts to talk, "Ritsu...I...I think..that...that..I might..."

"Sis! Mom wants to know if Mio is stay...oh, uh sorry for barging in!"

You stare at the door slam shut as your brother leaves in a rush while Mio takes this occasion to slip out from underneath you. Turning your head to look at your previous captive, her eyes look anywhere but at you.

Deciding that you weren't going to get anything out of her today you rubbed the back of your neck before letting a sigh.

It was going to be one hell of a night.

"You guys are close aren't you?"

Returning back to reality, you turn your head to look at your classmate.

"Huh? What, Mio and me? Of course we're close, we've been best friends since kindergarten!" , you grin from ear to ear as you announce that fact proudly.

"You're sure lucky Ritsu. Gah, what I wouldn't give to have Mio-san as my best friend."

At this remark you quirk your eyebrow, "Huh? What do you mean?"

"What? Are you serious? Mio is nice, pretty, and not to mention smart. There's nothing bad about her!"

"Wait, we're talking about Mio? Akiyama Mio here right? Ok, yea she is smart and she's not ugly or anything, but she can be down right cruel sometimes! Do you see these bruises? These are all from miss perfect Mio!" , you dramatically point to your skin as you pretend to faint.

"Oh Ritsu! You're so silly! I bet Mio-san is nothing like that! She couldn't hurt a fly!"

The words of your classmates make your heart sink as you take notice of how your the only one that knows Mio's true nature. You can literally feel your face drop in sadness. Sighing to yourself, you felt as if there was no use in trying to convince your fellow classmates otherwise.

Oh Mio, the things that the world doesn't know about you. Perhaps you were the only one that could bring out that side of her.

Suddenly you smile.

Maybe it wasn't so bad after all that they didn't know things about Mio like you did.

"Ah I can't wait to see what type of boyfriend Mio-san gets!"

...boyfriend?

"What are you guys saying? It's still a hundred years too early for Mio to get a boyfriend" , you blurt out. It was true though. It was a hundred years too early, maybe even more. She's too nervous around guys to even think about being in an actual relationship with them.

"Haha yea right Ritsu!"

You're not sure how to respond so instead you stare at your classmates' back as they walk off with one another laughing.

...you were right, right? Mio wouldn't lea..get a boyfriend right? Not right now at least. Yea, 'they don't know her like you do', you reassured yourself.

You don't feel like yourself lately.

Leaning in, her hands wrap around your waist pulling you closer. Both of you are breathing heavy and you can feel yourself getting flushed as she whispers in your ear.

"Mio," she pants out huskily. Fingers slipping further south and under, your knees start to buckle, but she supports you so that you don't fall, "It's ok. I've got you."

Head spinning, everything seems to turn black. All you can do is close your eyes and let her guide you. Softly and gently she moves both of you to the bed. Amber glazed eyes stare down at you with such passion you get even more light headed. She grazes your skin ever so lightly you can't help but want more.

She chuckles as you let out a whimper, "Ri..Ritsu please, no teasing."

With a smile she plants a tender kiss upon your lips. Taking her time she explores every inch of your mouth making sure to taste every bit of you. Roaming hands bury deep into your skin as you feel like you're on fire. She's moving too slow as you moan and ache in pleasure. You want to tell her that you want, no need, more of her but, you're sure she knows that you know that she's making her touches painfully wonderful.

Suddenly everything stops. Puzzled, you open your eyes. Your entire body is enveloped in sweat and you're tangled in sheets.

...wait, were you just dreaming? wait, were you just dreaming about that?

Never in your life have you felt this frustrated and confused. Never in your life did you also feel the need to curse. Today, however, was a special occasion...

"Miooooooooooo, I'm bored, come play with me!"

Ritsu, your best friend who was upside down at the moment has half of her body hanging off your bed while smiling up at you. You laugh silently to yourself at her childish antics. Sure she could be a handful sometimes, but if she wasn't you wouldn't know what to do with her or yourself for that matter.

Making your way over you poke the tip of her nose, "Ok Ms. Tainaka, what would you like to play?"

"Huh? That actually worked? You'll actually play with me! Yay!"

She pulls herself up from your bed and sits indian-styled instead on top of it. Cupping her own chin, Ritsu pretends to think of something worth while to do. A moment or two passes before she abruptly stands and announces that, "We should watch a movie!"

You begin to agree, but not until you realize the consequences of doing so, "Sure if that's what you wan...wait no horror or anything remotely scary Ritsu."

"What? But that takes all the fun out of it!"

"No is no Ritsu and that's final!"

"Aww, come on Mio! If you get scared I'll hold you so no worries!"

She flashes you a grin and you sense a blush coming on at the image of Ritsu holding you. Wondering if all best friends feel this way around each other Ritsu has already made her way to the T.V. It wasn't like this never happened or anything. You've definitely hugged Ritsu more times than you can count, slept in the same bed with her, and heck when you guys were little you even took baths together...so why does it feel like your face is on fire and your stomach is filled with knots?

Turning off the lights you can already feel yourself tensing up. You're pretty sure it has much more to do with than just you're fear for horror movies.

Ritsu looks your way and extends her arm, motioning for you to go sit down next to her. Pulling the blanket around both of your bodies, she pulls you closer and makes sure you're fully covered before pressing the play button on the remote.

Regardless of your childhood friend's very sweet and amazing attempts to make you feel safe, you don't think that you have ever been more terrified in your entire life. In fact you haven't felt this much of a wave of emotions ever.

You're not quite sure how to feel.

One moment you're hanging out with you're best friend and the next you're falling head over heels for her.

Shifting your eyes to look at her, you see that she's completely focused on the movie. You feel slightly nauseous and light-headed, but choose to ignore it and watch the movie. It's not really working well as you keep glancing from the T.V. to her.

You have no idea what's going on; movie-wise and the inner battle you're currently having with your feelings.

Staring at the ground with intense hatred you let a disgruntled noise escape. Taking notice of your current frustration Ritsu turns her head to look at you.

"Hey you ok? The movie isn't to scary for you is it?"

The sincere look that she gives you just makes you even angrier and you wish that you never agreed to this in the first place.

You wish that you didn't feel this way. You wish that your best friend wasn't so sweet and caring and loving and absolutely amazing. And most of all you wish that you didn't have thoughts that we're deemed appropriate about said best friend.

"Hey Mio? Mio what's wrong? I'm sorry, I'll stop the movie right now! We never have to watch a scary mov...wait Mio are you crying?"

Amber eyes stare at you with such consideration as you don't even realize tears had escaped from your eyes. You're shaking and you have no idea what to do.

Your inner voice is telling you to get up and run to the bathroom and just lock yourself in there for the rest of the night. It's telling you to do anything else, but sit here and look like a lunatic. It's telling you to get as far away from her as possible.

Deep down inside though, you know that, that's the exact opposite of what you really want to do.

Grabbing a fist full of Ritsu's shirt, your eyes filled with passion, you state; "Ritsu I'm in..."
