This came into my mind like clowns eating crab in a ship full of pirates. Random. I don't even know what I was thinking when I thought about this.
Short summary: Anna won a contest in which she and her friends can go on a date with NRKY (NaRuKoYuu) (Natsume, Ruka, Koko and Yuu). One date leads to another, right?
I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE! (oh well)
"Mikaannnnn…"
The brunette looked up when someone poked her waist.
"What?"
"Stop being so cranky."
Mikan rolled her eyes.
There was another half an hour more before their first class starts and her two best friends were disturbing her. All Mikan wanted now was to just sleep on her desk before the first class. But no… Anna and Nonoko just had to show up extremely early today.
"Stop disturbing me." Mikan muttered.
"Come on, Mikan! Get up! Stop being a lazy pig!"
"Pigs are not lazy."
"Fine! We'll just leave you here and won't tell you the seriously superb fantastic news."
"Yes, yes… Please do that." Mikan was drifting off into her sleep again but was smacked at her forehead. "What do you want me to do?" She glared at the two girls.
"We want you to accompany us on our 'date with NRKY'." Anna grinned.
Mikan raised an eyebrow. "Who's NRKY?"
Nonoko rolled her eyes. "Mikan! It stands for NaRuKoYuu! You know? The awesome all-boys band."
Mikan nodded. "Oh yeah. I heard of them before."
Anna squealed. "So will you come? There are four of them in the band, so we need four people for this date. Nonoko is after the drummer, Yuu Tobita. I'm after the cool bassist, Kokoro Yome. That leaves Natsume Hyuuga, the lead singer/occasional guitarist and Ruka Nogi, the guitarist."
"Where is the date going to be at?" Mikan asked dully.
"Well… The NRKY's manager arranged it in a five-star hotel. It's free too!"
Mikan grinned at the word 'free'. "All right, I'll go!"
"Pig! I know you're just going because of the food." Nonoko said and smack Mikan's forehead again.
Mikan just stuck her tongue out at Nonoko, making both Anna and Nonoko roll their eyes.
Meanwhile, getting Hotaru to agree was difficult. She was always finding excuses when someone asks her for a date, or arranges one for her. That's why, in the end, Anna had to make a phone call to the hotel requesting them to prepare crab brains for the date. That made Hotaru agreed to follow them. Mikan chuckled darkly. Her best friend wouldn't pass an opportunity like that. Getting free crab brains was probably Hotaru's everyday fantasy.
"How did you even get a date with them though?" Hotaru asked interestedly.
Anna smirked.
There was a contest that allows girls to win a date with NRKY on the radio and Anna just couldn't pass on the opportunity. The seventh caller for every hour on that day will enter into a qualifying round. And so, Anna prepared 10 phones on her study table just to make sure that her chance of being the seventh caller is higher.
There were 10 seventh callers altogether that day and all of them were to compete in an intelligence test. Each of them had to answer as many questions as possible about NRKY. For example, how did the band form, what are the names of the members, etc.
From there, 4 of them with the highest score will enter the 'semifinals' in which they had to sing all of NRKY's songs. But here's the catch – you sing a lyric wrong and you lose. Anna was lucky. One of the four missed out one song, another mispronounced the lyrics and the last one mixed up their songs.
So in the end, Anna won the contest of 'A Date with NRKY'.
"When is it?" Mikan asked.
"It's tonight!" Anna grinned from ear to ear.
Mikan and Hotaru had the same thought: A bit last minute, don't you think?
They wore casually, at the same time elegant. Anna wore a cute pink coloured casual dress that ended just above her knees; Nonoko wore a black halter top with a white skirt; Hotaru wore a plain white blouse with tights and Mikan wore a peach coloured blouse with black skirt. Mikan decided not to tie her hair into the infamous pigtails but tied it into a half ponytail.
The NRKY was to pick them up at 6.30 in the evening from Anna's house. They were punctual and came in a limousine. Mikan, Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko went out of the house and surveyed the people that were standing outside of the limo.
A guy with dirty blonde hair was smiling at Nonoko. He pushed his spectacles up and gestured nervously at her to get inside the limousine.
Anna was too happy and excited that she did not wait for the sandy coloured hair guy to give a gesture towards the car. She quickly ran to him and pulled him into the limo along with herself.
Next was the blonde hair with azure eyes. He immediately took an interest on Hotaru and was grinning at her. She rolled her eyes when he offered his hand to help her get into the limo.
The last one was a guy with raven hair and crimson eyes. His intense look on Mikan made her nervous. He didn't smile nor gesture. All he did was nod his head towards the car and went in by himself. Mikan resisted the urge to punch his face.
When they reached the hotel, they were escorted by many guards to the top floor of the hotel.
The date went perfectly well… for Anna and Nonoko.
They were giggling madly the whole time and Koko and Yuu were enjoying themselves with those two. Turns out they had many things in common and were discussing about tennis, stamp collecting and at some point, dirt biking.
While the four of them were chatting animatedly, the other four were glaring at different directions. Well, just three actually.
Ruka was trying his best to make small talks with Hotaru but was either ignored or glared at. He tried wooing her by telling her about his six packs. She raised her eyebrows and retorted that she has seen ten packs before. So instead of trying to make her like him, he started talking to the brunette who was glaring at Natsume's direction once in a while.
The awkward silence was too much for Ruka, so he declared to play Truth or Dare. Natsume, Mikan and Hotaru glared at him but the other four cheered happily.
Once started playing, he felt that it wasn't so bad after all. Even though Hotaru always chose him to do some obnoxious dare, he still liked it. And well, Hotaru enjoyed it too, although she'll never say that out loud.
Mikan and Natsume were also giving each other terrible dares. For example, for Mikan's dare, Natsume made her scream that she was a mental child using the lift from the top floor to the ground floor. Mikan got him back by making him do some girly walk and announcing that he's gay in front of the seven of them.
It went on until 4 in the morning.
Everyone was too exhausted and ended sleeping in the hotel.
The next morning, they bade their farewell to each other.
One week passed.
"Kyaaaaaa! Koko asked me to go out with him tomorrow! We're going to the new theme park!" Anna screamed when she received a text message from Koko. "He also asked me to bring all of you since the rest of his band members are going as well."
Mikan grunted. She regretted agreeing Anna to go on a date with NRKY. It wasn't like she didn't enjoy herself during that night. It was only because of a certain person who was so hostile towards her that entire night that she didn't felt like going tomorrow. But in the end, didn't he say that he likes her? Well, he didn't exactly say that nor did he say that in front of her face. She overheard Ruka asking Natsume what he thought of her and he answered with a "She's okay."
"Mikan? Are you there?" Nonoko shook Mikan's shoulders and it seemed to have worked. Mikan blinked her eyes slowly and looked at them.
"I don't want to go."
Anna and Nonoko rolled their eyes simultaneously. "You and Natsume have lots of things in common okay!"
"Like what?" She retorted and rolled her eyes.
"Like the fact that both of you hate oyster, that both of you have a little pillow that is probably the same age as you, that both of you prefers orange over apples, that –"
"I get it." Mikan waved her hands in front of her defensively. "But how did you even know so much about him?" She raised her brows.
"Don't get jealous." Anna started and Mikan rolled her eyes. "Koko and I were talking about you and Natsume. So we were listing the things that you both like."
"You should get to know him more by going to the theme park tomorrow."
And get to know him more, she shall!
Mikan woke up early to prepare herself. She put on some light make up and dressed casually. She wore a cute blouse with a black skirt and decided not to tie her hair.
The NRKY put on disguises to stay away from the Medias. Anna and Nonoko entwined fingers with Koko and Yuu respectively while Hotaru and Mikan walked together.
"Hey, Natsume." Ruka held his hand in front of Natsume to stop him from walking.
"Yeah?"
"By the end of today, we shall both have girlfriends, kay?"
Natsume smirked. "Sure."
Even though Natsume didn't show it, he was actually interested in the brunette. Making her angry made him laughed, making her happy made him on cloud nine, making her sad made him want to kill himself. And that was only the first day they met. But in that one night, he enjoyed his date for once after a very long time and he didn't know why.
Ruka made a bee line towards Hotaru and grabbed her hand. "Be my girlfriend, Hotaru!"
Natsume sweat dropped and thought: That was really brave of him.
Hotaru had an evil gleam in her eyes that only Mikan could see. "Sure, only if you promise to buy me crab brains every day."
"Deal." Ruka grinned. He did not mind at all because he got to have Hotaru as his girlfriend in return.
And so, poor little Mikan was left with Natsume.
"So, where do you want to go first?" He casually leaned his left arm on her head because he was taller than her by more than a foot.
She glared at him and swapped his hands away. "Anywhere is fine with me."
So he took her to the Ferris wheel, played go-kart with her, went to many roller coaster rides because they made her happy. But he had to resist the urge of going to the toilet to puke after every ride. Mikan was oblivious to this because he controlled his emotions properly. And also, he wanted to act manly.
Time passed by quickly. The other six had already left few hours ago. Natsume only insisted on staying longer with Mikan because she looked so sad when the other six said that they were heading home.
Now they are both walking silently next to each other. Mikan was beginning to feel tired after all those rides.
Mikan was confused with her feelings. She felt happy but at the same time embarrassed and she didn't know why. She felt that she should have dressed up nicer or put on more make up. She was too deep in her thoughts that she tripped and fell flat on her face.
Natsume couldn't help it. He started chuckling at her. Mikan pouted and got up with his help. But when she heard him laughed, she felt like laughing too.
Everything was fine until a little boy banged her leg and before falling down, he pulled her skirt for support.
She felt wind blowing her upper thighs and she knew her skirt has dropped to her ankles. Her face turned red in a millisecond and she quickly pulled her skirt up and ran away from the place. The little boy was too shocked that he forgot to apologise to her.
Mikan ran towards the girl's restroom and cried. It was such an embarrassing sight. 'What must Natsume be thinking now?' And she was just hoping that no more embarrassing things will happen after she tripped. Ah well. Life is unpredictable.
She wiped her tears away and readjusted her skirt. The skirt was actually quite loose. That's probably how it could be easily pulled down. When she went out, Natsume rested his arm on her head again.
"Polka."
Her face reddened again. Yes, she was wearing polka dotted panties. And everyone in that proximity just now saw that too.
"Go away." She swapped his hands away again.
"We are meant to be."
"What?" She glared at him.
Natsume gave her a smirk. "We are meant to be, Mikan."
"Why?" She looked up at him with a flushed face. The way he said 'Mikan' somehow made her heart beat faster.
"That is because I'm also wearing polka dotted print."
I'm really sleepy now. This took around 2 hours to complete. If majority hates it, I'll just delete it and keep it to myself :P
Please tell me what you think! ThankyouIloveyou! :3
