Hey, everyone! Sorry that I haven't really done much of the next chapter of Possession, but here's just a one-shot that I wrote during my free time! I haven't had much inspiration lately, I've been thinking up SO many plot twists... But I can't really find the inspiration to continue onto the designated times that I require for the plot twists. Like, it'd be weird if I suddenly did a time skip... Oh, and, this one-shot is... Uhh, reaaaally short. Well, enjoy! -Crystallised/Dee

Natsume x Mikan One-shot - Greeting

He was always one that liked to keep to himself. He believed that he would take on everything by himself... Even if it were the whole world that was against him.

That was the type of guy that Natsume Hyuuga was.

He had never learned how to trust, how to rely on someone. The only person that was close to him, really, was his best friend since childhood - Ruka Nogi.

Ruka had always told him the same thing, over and over again; "You need to rely on others more, Natsume."

Natsume wanted Ruka to smile. He wanted him to be happy, not to shoulder his pain with him - yet, Ruka never listened. He had always said, "If Natsume doesn't smile... Then I won't, either."

Today was just another day for Natsume. He was sitting by himself, in isolation and peace.

'...It's quiet.'

Natsume thought, the emerald blades of grass swaying gently in the breeze around him. His ebony hair and crimson eyes shone under the sun.

Since he turned six, he had always been alone. His parents had passed away and his sister had been taken away, even after he tried to cover for her.

"Natsume. What are you doing? You have a mission tonight." Persona said. Natsume scowled.

'Damn Persona. He's like a snake, sneaking up on me like that.'

Natsume thought, glaring at the man in black. Persona simply glared back, before leaving.

Natsume growled, before hearing a different pair of footsteps crunch through the grass. He looked up, finding himself staring straight into a pair of bright hazel eyes.

The girl stared at him for a few seconds, before beaming and bouncing backwards, her pigtails swaying in the wind. She tilted her head to the side lightly, before giggling.

"Nice to meet you!" She smiled, her voice ringing like the sound of sweet chimes in the wind.

I hope you enjoyed this one-shot! -Crystallised/Dee
