Waiting

-She stared outside, to the starry night. Waiting for him, despite the chances that he'll never be coming back, he made a promise to her.


Her auburn hair was wet and dripping with water as she stared out through the night. It was always this way. She'd wait even in the middle of the night, just waiting for him.

Mikan shivered. The coldness was starting to get through her skin, as though it was breaking her.

She hugged the blanket closer to her.

He'd come back for sure.

He never breaks his promises.

"Natsume? Where are you going?"

"I'm so sorry Mikan."

She'd never hear his voice so sincere before. She never wanted to hear it again. It was frightening, it was scaring her to death.

His sincerity might be the key for him to leave her.

"W-Why?"

"I'm leaving Mikan... I.."

"Why?! Why do you keep on leaving me? Its... its..."

He left her, leaving nothing but a kiss and a promise.

"I'll come back. I promise."

Mikan touched her lips once again, as she did every night. After all this time, she still feels the warmth of his soft lips.

As it always happens every night, she was crying again.

When will he come back for her?

She was cold. She was shaking. Her lips and nails were turning into a shade of blue.

It was so cold. But, she was bearing with it. For his sake. For he will return.

She was too numb to feel her eyes close as she drifted of to darkness.


"I fell asleep last night... Again." Mikan whispered to herself as she went out of the house.

Once again, she was sitting to where she always does.

Crying again.

"Natsume-kun..." She cried.

She was taking the pain. She was way too broken to even look at. She was once again cold.

But this time, a pair of arms were wrapped around her.

"Dont..." The male said. "I'm here Mikan... dont do this to yourself anymore."

She moved her head, burying it into his chest.

He's back.

Mikan didnt ask where he'd been. She didnt care where he ran off to. All she wanted was for him to be beside her.

"Natsume..."

"Shh.. I'm here. I'm not leaving you."

Those words made the all the tears she'd been holding fall. Her sobbing noises only made him tighten his arms around her.

"I'm sorry for doing this to you."

She didnt answer him. Instead she looked at him with her tear stained eyes.

Cupping her cheek with his hand, he kissed her.

"Mikan... lets get inside."


Mikan jolted awake as she checked her surroundings. She was in their room.

Her cheeks were wet again. She was crying.

She could've sworn he was here. She was naked. Did she let some other man take advantage of her?

"Mikan.." The same pair of arms wrapped around her again. "Why are you crying? I didnt leave." Natsume said.

"I thought... I thought..."

"I know. Dont cry anymore." He kissed her hair repeatedly.

He's here.
