"Devil! It's been so long since you came here. I missed you so much. Where have you been?" A girl with a strawberry blond hair squealed out. She clung to Natsume's arm, kissing him as she unbuttons his shirt and pants, trying to get him naked as fast as she can, not even minding there is a public place.

"Get off me you damn leech." Natsume said as he grab her wrists and slam her on the wall to stop her from kissing him and taking off his clothes.

Mikan opened the door and saw a girl pinned on the wall by Natsume. She was stunned and slammed the door shut again as she left without a word.

Natsume threw the girl aside and ran after Mikan.

As Mikan opened her apartment door she began to shout at Natsume.

"I told you NO, it won't work. But you had to be a guy and swept me off my feet." Mikan ranted at him. "I already told you we should just stay friends nothing more. But you keep on doing stuff that makes me fall for you. When I think you're just the same as the next guy you come bursting my bubble and give me open toed bunny shoes!"

"Are you done?" Natsume said as he walked closer to her while she's panting.

"NO! I'm not done. Why do you make it so easy to love you? Why do you even care about me?" She shoved Natsume as he tried to wrap his arms around her but Mikan sent him flying into the wall. "Do Not… Touch Me!"

"Mikan, I do not, nor will I ever have any intention of being with her in anyway." Natsume declared while he wipes the blood on the side of his lips.

"Yeah right! Like that's true. Why couldn't you just leave me alone? I was fine by myself! Don't you understand that if you leave, you'll be leaving ME! Not some façade that I created!"

"No, you were not fine by yourself. You learned to cope but you were not fucking fine!" Natsume yelled loosing his composure.

Mikan was stunned. This was the first time she saw Natsume loose it. It wasn't an everyday occurrence that the great Natsume drops his mask.

"Mikan you were not fine. You lived your life to protect and keep everyone you love safe. You were not fine Mikan. You barely live for yourself. If no one hounds you, you won't eat and you don't trust anyone near you except your closest friends." Natsume paused as he lifted his hands to cup Mikan's cheeks. "Mikan, for once in your life learn to trust. Not everyone is out to get you. You have me to catch you when you fall."

"I can't Natsume! I just can't. I've seen what happens when you trust someone." Mikan said in a whisper. Her tears threatening to spill. "I've seen too many people get hurt because they trusted someone. I don't want that for myself. That's why I told you from the start that this won't work."

"Please Mikan. Give me a chance to prove that we can work everything out." Natsume whispers as he caresses her arms. "I'm not saying that we won't fight ever. There will be times when we'll yell at each other. Times when you'll lock me out of our room because of something I don't know I did. Times when we'll send each other flying to the wall. All those will happen form time to time, but we'll make it through because we're strong and I love you!"

"I can't. I just cant." Mikan's response was in a whisper as tears fell on her cheeks.
