Nighttime.
It was the perfect moment for them. Just right. No interruptions. No disturbances. No people in sight.
Just them.
It was late and usually, all of the students and teachers of Alice Academy are in their rooms sleeping at this hour. But not this time.
One particular raven-haired guy and a certain brunette are sitting by themselves underneath the Sakura tree. The brunette, however, is sleeping with her head on the shoulders of the guy while his arm is around her. They're two of the most famous students of Alice Academy.
Natsume Hyuuga and Mikan Sakura.
While the other is sleeping, the other is in deep thought. He let his thoughts wander through his mind until it reached the girl beside her. He was thinking about her, again.
She was his girl, after all.
They've been together for quite a long time now. They still have their constant bickerings and arguments, but both knew how much they love each other.
Natsume then stared at the sleeping girl, his eyes full of love only for her. He hated her at first, for despite the hardships she's encountering, her smile never left her face. It infuriated him. But as time passed by, he grew accustomed to that smile and never wishing that it would disappear.
He reminisced at their special moments. Their first kiss, the first time they slept together and the times he comforted her with hugs. He remembered the time he vowed to protect her and the time he wished he could be an adult, to hold Mikan's hands and take her away from the Academy when it was not on its safest. He remembered the time he proclaimed his love for her. He smiled at those memories.
She was the only girl that ever stood up to him. She wasn't like any fan girl that would drool at the sight of him. She was the only who was able to see through him, to know the real him. She accepted him despite his faults and flaws. She served as his strength, his only hope for living. Little by little, he was able to come out of the darkness because of her.
Her laugh is music to his ears. Her very presence is like a light through the darkness. She is his personal sun, meant only to rise and shine for him. She was his and his only.
Just then, he sensed a movement beside him. Mikan adjusted her position and put her arms around his waist, with her head still on his shoulders. She mumbled "I love you, Natsume." to her sleep, much to Natsume's delight.
He whispered "I love you, too." to her while caressing her cheeks. He kissed her hair, forehead, nose, cheeks, and finally, her lips.
She was an angel sent from above.
His angel.
