143 Balloons
Disclaimer: Gakuen Alice is not mine.
The clock struck 6 when the knock was heard.
It's time. He thought as his heartbeat sped up.
"Come in."
As the door opened, he couldn't help himself gasped. Infront of him was the most beautiful girl.
"Mikan." He said, breathless.
She was standing infront of him wearing a light blue cocktail dress while her hair was completely tied into a neat bun.
"Hi." She shyly said.
"Hi." Natsume gave her a smile, a smile that only belongs to her.
"So... What are these?" Mikan said, smiling at her childhood crush brightly. Balloons were everywhere.
Natsume smirked, "Balloons?"
Mikan just rolled her eyes.
"I have a gift for you." Natsume said, his face emotionless now but his eyes told Mikan that he was excited and nervous at the same time.
"Where is it?" Mikan asked cheerfully.
"Find it." Natsume said while showing of again his infamous smirk.
"Where—" She was cut off, however, by her dearest Natsume.
"Pop those." Natsume pointed the balloons.
"All of them?" Mikan asked, not really interested with Natsume's answer, as she popped the first of the 143 balloons.
After around half an hour, Mikan popped all 142 balloons yet she still couldn't find the gift.
"Natsume! You're playing with me again!" She said, pouting.
"I'm not." Natsume chuckled as Mikan finally noticed the balloon Natsume was holding.
"NATSUME THAT IS UNFAIR!" Mikan grabbed the balloon and popped it.
Something fell.
A necklace.
Mikan bent and got the necklace as Natsume stood up from his seat and made his way to Mikan.
"Mikan." He softly said as he caressed Mikan's soft face.
"Na—Natsume." Mikan stammered as heat crept up her face.
Natsume got the necklace from Mikan's hands.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Natsume looked at Mikan's eyes directly. He was nervous, but his eyes were full of hope, love and care.
"Natsume." Mikan smiled.
She paused for who-knows-how-many seconds. Natsume felt like it was eternity. But alas, Mikan broke the silence.
"Yes." Tears fell down from her eyes as she looked at her now lover.
Natsume smiled widely as he turned Mikan around to place her necklace.
"That was the best day of my life." Natsume said, placing his arms above his eyes to cover the brightness from the white light above him.
.
"That was my biggest regret." Mikan said as she smiled sadly to her bestfriend.
