A/N: This story is related to a novel I read. I wanted a version of Natsume and Mikan. I hope you like it.
~ How it Started~
Natsume knew he had to be crazy. There was no other reason. Natsume meant to scare her, terrify her, do something that would make her understand not to involve herself to his affairs… but it went the other way around… he kissed her.
~Chapter 1~
Natsume Hyuuga had always known he had to marry soon.
As a child, Natsume believed in love. His parents were so young when they married and so much in love, so much in love that Natsume was joined by a younger sister, named Aoi. His parents made sure to treat them equally with so much affection and devotion. Natsume was close to his father. Or quite frankly his father was the center of Natsume's world.
Then, everything changed. It happened when Natsume was home for the summer, coming from Alice Academy, a prestigious school for high-scoring students and school famous for protection of their students due to the popularity of their families, Natsume saw Aoi running to him, crying.
Aoi never cried unless something hurt her badly.
"Aoi", Natsume said uncertainly, "what-" but before Natsume could finish what he was saying Aoi cut him off and only said "Papa".
When Natsume heard Aoi said "Papa", there he made no time wasting staring at Aoi, trying to figure out what she was saying. He quickly ran to the house and went to his parent's room.
Natume's father died of a heart attack. It came to him as a shock, could hardly say a word nor understand what the doctors were saying. He was just staring at his father lying at bed. It was most unlikely since his father was never a hard drinker, only on occasion when needed to, hardly a smoker as well. The doctors kept saying "Nobody could have known".
The whole household was silent; they could not believe what happened. As Natsume was the eldest son, he was now in charge of his mother who was shattered, crying endlessly and sister and he now has a new vision of how his life would be… He would never marry… He does not have the heart to imagine leaving his wife crying, hurt, shattered when his time is about to come… like his father… unexpectedly.
And thus, earned him the reputation of a heartless arrogant young man.
