The Seven Days of Love
Day One—When We Were Just Kids…
"Natsume!" A five year-old Mikan Sakura puffed up her cheeks, "You meanie!"
Natsume Hyuuga merely stuck out his tongue and jumped down from the Sakura tree that he sat on previously.
It was a peaceful morning, and the two were playing in the park near their houses. But just now, it seemed that…
"Natsume, you're a pervert!" With her eyes blazing, Mikan marched towards Natsume and grabbed the back of his shirt. "Natsume Hyuuga…"
Meanwhile, Natsume seemed completely unaffected. "What?"
"This is the third time you peeked on my panties!"
"So?"
"Apologize!"
"Who would say sorry to a baka like you?" (Baka means something like idiot/moron in Japanese, and is rather offensive.)
"Hmph! Meanie!" Mikan repeated. "I'm not going to play with you. So there!"
As the brunette stomped away to the swings, Natsume sighed.
"Why do you keep doing these things to her?" A voice in his voice asked. "You don't like her, do you?"
Yes. Natsume admitted that he had a TINY crush on the dense Mikan.
Wait a second.
I have a crush on her? He asked himself mentally. No one will like that ditzy, stupid girl. And aren't I a bit too early for that?
..::**——**::..
"What are you going to eat, Natsume?" Mikan savoured the sight of the dishes in front of her.
"…" Natsume took the plain onigiri just as Mikan reached out for it. Their hands touched. (Onigiri: a rice ball (triangular) with a piece of nori (seaweed) attached.)
"Natsume! I took it first! My yummy, tasty onigiri…" Mikan tried to tug the onigiri out of Natsume's hands, but ended up accidently falling on top of him. The two collapsed to the floor.
There was an awkward silence. Then…
"N-Natsume?" Mikan whispered. "Are you fine?"
Natsume lay dead still on the floor, a dark silhouette against the hard, icy snow of the tiles.
"Natsume?"
He didn't move a muscle.
"NATSUME'S DEAD!!!" Mikan shouted frantically. "What am I supposed to do!?"
She ran around in circles in her confusion. "Waa—"
Suddenly, an idea hit her mind. "I'll carry him to the office!"
Pleased with her idea, she immediately took hold of his neck and started pulling him to the office.
As Mikan was dragging him to the office, Natsume slowly opened one eye and peeked out. He swore he just saw the brunette blush A LOT when she fell on top of him.
So maybe she DID like him after all….
His heart soared.
End of Day One~
