A/N: This is a weird oneshot I came up with at two in the morning. Hope you enjoy!
Mikan Sakura was an idiot.
Granted, she was an idiot with a heart – which was more than he could say for most people – but an idiot all the same. Oh, she was wonderful and all, but her stupidity really got out of hand sometimes.
Take this for example:
It was Saturday afternoon when he discovered Mikan sitting at a table in one of the more secluded areas of the library, humming a soft tune and swinging her legs out beneath her.
"What are you doing?"
Natsume leaned over her shoulder to get a better look. Upon closer inspection, he saw she was reading – a term he used loosely – a book. More specifically, a Where's Waldo? book.
Mikan looked up with a slightly baffled look on her face. Her hands were cupped around her brown eyes, forming miniature 'o's, and occasionally, she would twist her hands inward or move her hands away from her face and towards the book only to bring them back to rest upon her cheeks.
If Natsume didn't know better, he'd suspect she were trying to make a telescope with her hands to mimic its capabilities. Trying being the key word.
Then Mikan grinned up at him and her mouth stretched so wide that Natsume thought she would break her face. "I'm using a telescope to find Waldo!"
"...Wouldn't a magnifying glass work better?"
Silence.
And then:
"Oh yeah!" Mikan quickly deconstructed the left 'o' and pointed her index finger straight. Then she attached the finger to the bottom of her right 'o' and transformed her hands into a magnifying glass. Once finished, she flashed him a grin, chirped, "Thanks, Natsume!" and returned to her book.
Natsume facepalmed, glared at the back of her head with an Are you an idiot? sort of look, and proceeded to light the girl's hair on fire.
Her screams sounded like music to his ears.
