I want to make a prequel. It'll might make me or other people cry, but there's RukaRu and NatsuMikan. IF I make it. What do you guys think? *wink* Hmmm...

Oh yeah, I know pretty much nothing about weddings except for what the priest says (too many movies or fanfics? O.O).

Oh, and the fixing-tie-slowly part...I don't think it makes sense. If it doesn't, just tell me. O.O

To my small legion of fans (xD =.='): Just think of this as a...make up. :D I'll update soon, PROMISE!!

I dedicate this partially to my friend, Justinne (JustinneXD), because she told me to update on FB so we made a deal. xD.

I'm ruining the mood...sorry. =.='

Oh, and I think it has some similar parts to staroo's fic, Wedding Dress. =.=' or others???

Oh, sorry. Go on...

I wanted nothing more than to cry.

It's weird, really.

Natsume and I had always fought for Mikan...Mikan.

But not...not Hotaru. Not Imai.

Not the girl who blackmailed me everyday.

Not the girl who I never realized was always there.

Not her, it was never her.

Yet here I am, standing like an idiot, wanting nothing more than to turn time back and tell her what I just realized.

I don't know when, I don't know where, I...I kind of don't know how I started to love her...But all I know is that I've figured out, because my heart is painfully breaking into a million pieces.

There was nothing I could do to make her mine.

I wanted to, but I wasn't a traitor. I wouldn't betray my best friend for love, no matter how much it hurts.

I found it hard to swallow; I found it hard to breathe.

But all I could do...was stand there. Then all of a sudden, I heard Natsume say, "Ruka..."

I gulped and turned to look at him, trying to push my thoughts away, or to the back of my mind, at least. "...W...What?"

It was silent for a minute. Then he turned around, not looking at me, as he said, "I...I'm sorry. I know it shouldn't have turned out this way. I...I know that you love her. Hotaru."

I felt queasy. "You don't have to be sorry for anything. I was losing Mikan, and I sought Hotaru for help. I should have asked someone else."

"But there was no one else. There was no one who knew her enough. I'm sorry Ruka. I just...I don't know. I don't know anymore."

"No one does. It's not your fault, Natsume. This is how fate wanted us to end up."

"But still..."

"Nat, please," I pleaded. "Don't."

He turned around and fixed his tie slowly. "Okay, Ruka...Okay," he said softly.

The pianist started playing, and then the doors opened.

And Hotaru Imai had never looked more breathtaking.

Ruka drew a breath. It hurt that she was supposed to look that way only for Natsume. It hurt that Natsume had always won. It hurt that...it hurt the most that...she didn't love him anymore.

She was getting married to Natsume.

Hotaru looked at the three, Natsume, Mikan, Ruka...

Her heart skipped a beat when she looked at Ruka.

She was happy that she was getting married to Natsume. But she would always love Ruka also, because the pain never got a chance to heal.

She knew how painful it was for Mikan. She knew that Mikan loved Natsume; she didn't know why she started to love Natsume, even though she thought, and knew, at the time, that Ruka would never love her.

Or so she thought.

She didn't want it to go this way.

If she had only knew...she would have never gone to Natsume like Ruka had gone to her.

She knew when Natsume had given up Mikan for Ruka...but why didn't she tell Ruka he didn't have to fight anymore?

Everything was so confusing.

She didn't know anymore.

"Ruka-pyon..." Mikan sniffed.

"Mi-chan..."

"It hurts, Ruka. It hurts so bad. Why did he...I thought he loved me..."

"He did. But he...he gave you up because...because I liked you and...Oh, this is going nowhere." He looked at Hotaru and then looked back at Mikan. "The point is, we're both getting our hearts broken right now." Again he looked wistfully at Hotaru. Mikan looked at him with wide eyes; tears unstoppable. "Ru...Ruka...You...You love Hotaru?"

Ruka started to tear up. "Yes. I do and I lost my chance, all because I didn't notice how she acted towards me. If it weren't for me being so...so stupid, we all would have been happy. But I was stupid. I didn't notice her as anything else but a friend and someone I could...vent out to. Now she's gone, getting married to my best friend."

"Ruka, you aren't stupid. We were all...blind. Blind and young."

The two looked at the ones they loved then looked at each other.

"I'm so sorry, Ruka," Mikan said.

"I'm sorry too." The tears he was holding back then escaped from his eyes. Why was this happening?

"Natsume Hyuuga...do you take Hotaru Imai as your..."

The two didn't want to hear anymore.

It's a cliffhanger line isn't it? I dunno if that's just me...

Please click on that adorable little review button named...Review. :P

Tell me if you want a prequel, and I'm thinking of making a one-shot sequel. Hehe. ;D

(The sequel is probably gonna happen though. WHOO, I MADE THIS IN LIKE, LESS THAN THIRTY MINUTES!! THAT'S HOW FAST I AM ALS, JANI, PARI!!)

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I DO NOT OWN GA. xDDD.

...And don't blame me for mistakes, I blame the document manager thingy. =.=' :P

I think this is too short...I'll make it longer later. Haha.
