DISCLAIMER:
I do not own Gakuen Alice and its characters... in the ACTUAL WORLD.
But in a concealed section of my brain, deep within the realms of MY WORLD, I do. ;) *laughs*
"I'm bored."
Mikan slumped down on the sofa beside Natsume with a jaundiced face.
"There's ice cream in the fridge." Natsume, even without looking away from the manga he's holding, thought that she's just craving for some food.
"I'm not hungry."
Silence.
A thing like boredom wasn't something he would expect from her. His eyebrows furrowed down slightly. This kind of silence made him uncomfortable. He closed his manga and quietly gazed at the caramel-haired girl, who was now staring at the beam coming from the white fluorescent light above his room.
"What do you want to do?" asked Natsume.
A long sigh broke out of Mikan's mouth. She closed her eyes after leaning her head on his broad shoulder.
"I. DON'T. KNOW. What are you reading?" She peeked on the object he's holding.
"Manga," he replied.
"It's not porn or anything of that sort, is it?" Mikan hastily took the manga away from Natsume and shuffled through the pages with a keen eye. That cute behavior made Natsume stifle a low chuckle.
"You think I'm that type of guy? Stupid."
"Who knows. I saw you glance at some porn mangas at the Central Town Book Shop once," whispered Mikan after searching the manga for the third time. It had a suspicious tone, and Natsume didn't like the sound of it.
He pinched both of her rosy soft cheeks lightly.
"You little girl. Are you imagining things again?"
Natsume snatched away the manga from her delicate fingers that she scowled. With balled fists aside, she stood up swiftly and stiffly.
"I'M NOT! But listen to me Natsume! If I ever see you reading something like that, I'll… I'll—!"
"You'll do what?" Natsume cut off Mikan's sentence. Her face turned deep red.
Silence. Again.
Mikan just couldn't think of something to retort back at him. Of course, getting embarrassed in front of her boyfriend was not an option. She just didn't like the idea of him looking at those kind of things.
The raven-haired boy knew. He affectionately smiled and pulled her into a tight yet gentle embrace. Mikan took in his scent, and snuggled her head into his chest. It was the most beautiful feeling she ever felt. To love and be loved by this guy.
Natsume lifted up her chin and soon enough, they were looking into each other's eyes.
You're the only woman I see. No one else will do. I love you Mikan, she heard him. Mikan was already used to using her Alice of Telepathy. But at that exact moment, Natsume forgot that she possessed that Alice.
She pecked him on the forehead fast, then quickly ducked down, listening to the thundering beat of his heart.
"I heard that," Mikan drawled cutely, then she grinned after catching sight of her lover covering his flushed face.
"I love you too Natsume." She enfolded her arms around him.
Silence.
Now he's the one left speechless.
