A/N: Hi, reader. This was formally titled, I Want What You Have. In writing this story, know that I took inspiration in several literary works I've read and songs I fell in love with over the past couple of years which most of you could be familiar with. Got my fingers crossed that I'll finish this story. Happy reading!

Prologue

They once believed that they would conquer the world together.

As he stared at the box of polaroids, he wondered what were the odds of meeting another soul as breathtaking as hers. Mikan never knew she was iridescent and delicate. Like art.

Mikan . . .

Whispering sweet nothings into his ears until he falls asleep. Standing next to him on the bus or train because she doesn't want his feet to be the only ones hurting. Making everything less beautiful in his eyes.

Underneath the overwhelming blanket of the stars, she thought of that shining moment when he told her he felt he can do anything. Natsume never had much faith in the impossible.

Natsume . . .

His fingers lightly touching that heart-shaped birth mark she used to hate on the inside of her wrist. Looking at her as if she was the only girl in the world. Making the world feel a lot more lonelier than before.

They once believed that they can conquer the world together.
