What's in a name?
Natsume's POV
I love her.
I came to this conclusion after a long week in bed. After one of those missions, I decided that I would rest a while but I couldn't even make it to my room; before I knew it, I collapsed and must've fainted. Next thing I knew, I was lying in the hospital bed with an unusually cheerful brunette on my side. As usual, with a voice that could have even woken up the dead, she shouted, "Hotaru, Ruka-pyon, look, Natsume-kun has woken up. Isn't that nice? And Natsume, why the hell did you not call someone to escort you to your room? It's not very wise to move about alone when you are so much injured and you –"
BAKA BAKA BAKA!
"You should not strain an injured person by shouting that much", replied the emotionless inventor. "And we should get going now, Ruka" she added to the blonde boy standing beside her. As they went, I noticed that Mikan's face had a blush on it. She looked extremely cute like that. Pushing those thoughts out of my mind, I asked, "What's the matter, Polka dots?"

"What's the matter, Polka dots?"
On hearing this, I instinctively made my usual reply, "Don't you dare call me that, you Hentai." And before I could control it I felt a tear on my cheek and to avoid being further embarrassed I just ran out of the hospital wing till I reached my favorite resting place, the Sakura tree. Being the spring season, it was full of blossoms. It was a breathtaking sight but I was hardly in a mood to enjoy it. Oh, why couldn't Natsume just me by my name? Am I such a child that he has to tease me by my panties? Why can't he love me like I love him? Before I knew it, I was tired due to crying and I fell fast asleep.

"Have you seen that Polka dots lately?", asked Natsume to his friend Ruka while he was on a visit to him. Ruka had brought his lunch there and both were munching on the food. "No.", replied a troubled Ruka, "I thought she must have been visiting you since I have hardly seen her this week except in the classes."
Shit, I must've really insulted her this time by calling her Polka dots. How could I be such an idiot?
Even after Ruka went, Natsume kept brooding over a plan to make up with his cute brunette and confess his love to her and at last, it was ready by the time Natsume got a discharge from the hospital wing.
