Confession Challenges (MioxRitsu)

I can't believe it!

When evening came, Ritsu is now knocking on the Akiyama Residence's door.

"Who is it?" asked Mio.

"It's me, Mio..."

After Mio opened the door she then blinked furiously and brows knitted together.

"Yo, Mio?" waving a hand in front of the girl's face, "Won't you let me in?"

Reality then struck Mio, her eyes went wide. She already knew how Ritsu looked without her hair band, but never in her life had she seen Ritsu looked without it while wearing a pair of jeans, a black shirt underneath a white jacket with a hood covering her head.

"Hey... you've been standing there for like... a minute now? And my bag is heavy..." deadpanned, Ritsu puts her bag down and inserted her hand inside her pocket while looking directly at Mio.

'Oh. My. God! Ritsu looked so... so... so... i-irresistible!' Mio mentally squealed while her cheeks slowly emitted red hue, 'Is this how God punishes me for not telling my feelings?'

She immediately snapped back from her thoughts, "C-Come in..."

When Ritsu got inside, Mio closes the door. As she turned around, she then felt a warm palm pressed onto her forehead.

"You're not sick, are you?" Ritsu asked with a raised eyebrow.

'I swear! I can see smoke bursting out of my face!' Mio then took a step back while saying, "N-No, I'm fine... thank you for your concern."

Retrieving her hand, "Oh... alright, come on." Smiling before turning her back on Mio and leading the way.

As when Ritsu was about to take a step in the stairs, Mio is following her from behind when a knock came on the door. They both turned their heads towards the door.

"Huh? Who could it be at this kind of time?" Mio whispered.

Before opening the door she asked, "Who is it?"

"Mio-chan, it's mama." She said in a cheerful voice. Mio then hurriedly open the door.

"Mom?" confused, "Why did you bother to knock? You have a key, remember?"

Ryuko brought herself in while answering, "That's why I came back... I forgot the ke~ Oh? You have a visitor." She directly added after seeing the guest.

Ritsu bowed, "Good evening, Akiyama-san. Sorry for the intrusion."

"No, that's okay..." she smiled and then turns her head towards Mio.

"I didn't know you have a boyfriend, Mio-chan?"

After hearing the word 'boyfriend', Ritsu directly straighten herself up and both had a matching red face.

"MOM!" Mio exclaimed, "This is Ritsu!"

Ryuko blinked out of confusion, "Oh? Sorry for mistaken you as someone else Ricchan..." she then chuckled, "So you're here because you're accompanying Mio-chan while we're away?"

"H-Hai, Akiyama-san!" Ritsu answered like a soldier. Coz she still hasn't recovered of what Mio's mom said.

Ryuko went towards Ritsu and hugged her tightly while saying, "That's sweet of you, Ricchan!"
