NatsumeXMikan 1 shot
~Mikan and Natsume, aged 12~
It was a quiet scene underneath the Sakura tree
"Hey, Polka?"
"Oh, Natsume, don't call me that! Yes?"
"If someone said they loved you, what would you do?" Natsume looked up from his manga.
"I don't know what Love is..." Mikan said. She looked down, blushing. "I would probably love them back"
Stupid girl... Natsume thought.
~Mikan and Natsume, aged 13~
Like the year before, Mikan was sitting with a book and Natsume was in the Sakura tree. Mikan had since then upgraded to a 3 star. And had also upgraded to a branch at the bottom of the tree.
"Mikan, do you remember what I asked you last year?"
"No..."
"What would you do if someone said they loved you?"
"I don't know"
"Really?" Natsume looked up from his manga.
Mikan shrugged.
~Mikan and Natsume, aged 14~
"I wonder. I ask you this every year."
"What?" Mikan was sitting in the middle of the tree, a little distance from Natsume.
"If someone loved you, what would you do?"
"I would think about them and if I like them"
"Not like, LOVE" Natsume said. "You're hopeless." He went back to his manga and Mikan started fiddling with leaves.
~Mikan and Natsume, aged 15~
"Natsume! It's our graduation ceremony today" Mikan called up into the blossoming tree. Natsume jumped down and walked next Mikan.
"Mikan"
"Yeah?"
"It's the question"
"The same one?"
"Yes"
"I still don't know" Mikan shrugged.
Natsume looked at Mikan who was looking down, blushing.
"That's new"
"I know"
~Mikan and Natsume, Aged 16~
"Natsume?"
"Yes, Strawberries?"
"Strawberries? EH? DID YOU SEE MY PANTIES?"
"That information is confidential." Natsume smiled as Mikan shook a branch of the tree.
"Strawberries, do you know yet?"
Mikan calmed down instantly and blushed. "No"
"Okay. Baka"
"OOHHH NATSUME!"
~ Mikan and Natsume, aged 17~
"Mikan."
"I still don't know, don't ask me Natsume." Mikan was now perched on the edge of Natsume's branch. He looked over to her and they both blushed.
~Mikan and Natsume, aged 18~
"Where is she?" Natsume stood on the grass, waiting for Mikan. She'll be here, he thought. She's always there.
When in one hour she didn't come, he went looking for her, to see the high school graduation going on. Natsume stood next to Ruka who smiled at him.
"It's the end" Ruka said. Natsume nodded.
He was going to miss the academy and its crazy missions. And one certain brunette girl.
"Hello, Gakuen" Her voice filled the microphone. Natsume looked up. Mikan was now the representative of Special abilities. He smiled. Well done, Mikan.
"Mikan?" Natsume found her, surrounded by friends.
"Natsume!" He took her hand and dragged her to the Sakura tree.
"What's this?"
"It's the last time I'll ask you. What would you do if someone told them they loved you?"
"I'd love them back."
Natsume's eyes widened.
"With all my heart" Mikan said.
"Then I love you." Natsume said.
"I love you too" Mikan said, going in for a hug, but felt his lips instead.
The sun set as the two lovers embraced.
