Hotaru stared at Mikan and smirked.
"Today is the day your suppose to pay your debt," she said. Mikan stared out a window in her lab and barley look at her.
"Uh-huh," she said, slightly annoying Hotaru.
"Do you have it?"
"Not-uh." Hotaru smirk even more.
"Then you have another 1 million yen added to it." Mikan simply nodded and sighed again. Hotaru let out a growl, there was only one person who made the dimwitted idiot serious….Hyuuga. And she didn't trust either of them since the horrid night a few months ago
Flash back (I like flash backs ):
Hotaru had woken up with the best idea for an invention, a pair of sunglasses that kept any child or idiot busy for hours with no risk of them wondering off and getting in trouble or hurt, By the time she was done it was nearly two, and she couldn't wait to try it. She decided to wake Mikan and make her test it, she knew Mikan would resist so she was willing to let a million yen go off Mikan debt to her. She opened a side draw that contained many keys.
"Koko, Ruka, Natsume, Permy…urgh," she muttered naming the various sets of room keys. Where was Mikan keys? She vowed to make an invention that keep a desk organized and neat. She finally came across the yellow smiley face key (the one Mikan had special requested) and smirk triumphantly. She slipped on a robe and some slippers and went off to get Mikan.
Since Mikan was a single star her dorm was a good walk from hers. Triples and two stars shared a dorm while specials and single stars shared a dorm. And no stars got to live in the attics of the dorm which wasn't using theirs. She finally made it to Mikan door and stopped and listened. Ever since the AAO Hotaru had always worn a pair of hearing intensifying earrings. And from where she stood she heard.
"Natsume.." what the hell was Natsume doing in Mikan's room this late at night? Was he raping her or something? She wasted no time unlocking and opening the door. For the first time not only was Hotaru shock, she was also repulsed. There lying on the bed laid her best INNOCENT friend underneath the famous Natsume Hyuuga. His lips firmly panted on hers and her not looking to distressed by it. Actually she was rapidly engulfing him. Natsume broke away from Mikan, he had been sensing a present but deemed it safe. And he was right, Hotaru wasn't anyone to dangerous, but she had interrupted them. Mikan look at Natsume confused and followed his eyes to the door and froze. Her face turned bright red.
"Oh…hi Hotaru!"" she said brightly. Hotaru left them and wouldn't speak to ether of them for a week. Of course Natsume wasn't to keen on speaking to her since as soon as she left Mikan followed, he still wasn't fully forgiven of her cutting their time short.
End of flashback
Ever since then Mikan swore she'd never have a 'moment' like that with Natsume again. Of course Hotaru highly doubted it and it was days like this that just made her want to completely disown Mikan. Hotaru wasn't jealous of Natsume, she just knew of the bad things that would come if he and Mikan continued. She had researched Natsume and Persona and knew just talking with Natsume made you a bargaining tool. If he didn't want to do a mission his friends were put in danger, and the closer he got to Mikan the worse Persona would do to her.
"You saw Hyuuga didn't you?" Mikan look up and smiled.
"What? No, I promised you I wouldn't," she said. Hotaru shook her head and tinkered with her new organizing invention, she didn't feel like arguing. "You shouldn't see him Mikan, bad things will happen. Stay away." Mikan keep silent, why did everyone say that? When Tsubasa and Miskai semi-pai graduated last year they had both given her a stern warning, especially Tsubasa who had been upgraded into the DA class. She wanted to shout at them that they were wrong and Natsume was the most caring person she had ever met. Of course they were not talking about Natsume himself being dangerous, they were talking about the ones he was associated with.
"I don't even like Natsume, he just caught me by surprise that time." And all the others, she silently added. Hotaru scuffed. She didn't like how much more adult like Mikan became on the topic of Hyuuga, whenever she wasn't around him she warped into a pouty adult. Hotaru was going to make sure to confront Hyuuga, he hadn't heeded her warnings and returned to the idiots room. He was going to pay. Still Hotaru didn't think they were serious, it seemed more like they were just doing it for fun. That's how it seemed to everyone, that they were friends….Hotaru was the only one who knew of their late night escapades. And she didn't even know how serious or often there adventures at night were.
"Just make sure that's all it is." Hotaru went back her invention and Mikan started ramble about useless things.
Natsume was not in a good mood. He had woken up at five to slip out of Polka Dot's room, which he didn't want to do. Then when he had re awaken he found Polka Dots had already gotten up and left her room to visit her freak friend. No way would he go to get her. Then Ruka had pick that day to ramble about Polka dots His Polka dots. He had to bite his lip so hard that it drew blood to keep from punching him. Not that the idiot wasn't much better off with Ruka but ever since he had first sneaked into her room he let go of the idea of giving her up. Of course Ruka had no idea of Mikan and Natsume relationship. Who did? It wasn't even a relation ship, it was just a small affair they had only to repair each other. He could count a few times when Polka dots had sneaked into his room.
Flash back:
Natsume was exhausted, yet he couldn't sleep. He was to tired to go all the way down to the idiots room so he laid in his bed staring up at the ceiling trying to fall asleep. A small tap on his door got his attention, it was way to late for visitors. He was alert, he crept to the door ready to attack. When he opened it though it reveled a smiling Mikan Sakura, completely with pillow and wearing pajamas. He open his door wider and she step in.
"I couldn't sleep…" she said sheepishly. She couldn't believe herself she had resorted to coming to his room, now she couldn't blame it all on him. He walked silently to his bed and got in, she slowly followed him. She climbed in and laid stiff unsure of what to do. Natsume took action immediately and claimed her lips, she had no protest. He engulf her like no tomorrow, stopping and reframing at some points where he knew she wasn't ready for. When they finally broke apart each was blushing and panting. Natsume was finally ready for bed.
"Good night Polka dots," he said. She snuggled close to him and wrap her arms around him.
"Goodnight Natsume.." she said. He gave one of his rare smiles.
"Oh, and by the way aren't you a bit old for frogs?" it took Mikan a while to get it but when she did….
"Natsume your such a damn pervert!"
End of flashback
"Natsume, I think I'm going to tell her," Ruka said snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Tell her what?" he said, showing he had clearly not been listening.
"I'm going to tell Mikan I love her." Silence. He was going to confess…to Mikan. Natsume and Mikan never talked about Ruka, half because she hadn't really noticed his crush, half because she did. Natsume keep his face calm.
"Whatever." Inside his mind was saying something else. Somewhere along the lines of 'like hell. She is already with me so back the fuck off.' But she wasn't with him, and she could choose Ruka. Fuck. She could choose Ruka…..
"I'm asking if its alright with you Natsume." Like hell.
"Why would I care if you confess to that idiot? I'm not the one writing my death wish." Ruka smiled but didn't say more. He knew he was pushing it, but he had to try.
Mid-day
Mikan trailed behind Hotaru like a puppy as they headed to the dining room for dinner. She loved her best friend so much, it was nice to set aside a day just to spend with her. Hotaru had even soften up a little and let her help her with an invention, since their time together was becoming more limited.
"I'm going out of the academy for a meeting with a corporation present, I'll be leaving after dinner and be back tomorrow." Mikan jaw fell to the floor.
"Hotaru! How could you, I wanted to have a sleep over and then spend time with you tomorrow and--" Mikan was cut short by a blow from the Baka gun.
"Shut up. I'm leaving be back tomorrow." Hotaru dismissed her coldly as they entered the dining hall. Mikan moped behind her sending gloom waves to those around her. She followed Hotaru to a table and sat down eyes glued to the floor.
"Oi idiot your face is making me want to throw up…more then it usually does." she looked up, Natsume. She was about smile when she remembered, mid-day, not night.
"Shut up! You're the idiot," she said. Then she looked to Hotaru.
"Please don't go!" Mikan whined.
"I can't, have to." Mikan pouted and slunk farther into her seat.
"Mikan what is wrong?" Ruka said. Ruka? When did he get there? She smiled.
"Hotaru leaving for a whole day! Right after dinner too!" Mikan sniffled. Hotaru sighed at her dramatics.
"Your leaving?" he ask Hotaru, she look at him.
"Yes, I have a meeting." she went back to shoving crab in her mouth, her favorite.
"A meeting? You sixteen for gosh sake, you work to hard." Mikan felt a slight brush against her leg, Natsume was looking coldly the other way. She brushed his leg back. He seemed to smirk as he turned to her.
"Seriously did you fall or something? Because you way more ugly then you usually are," he said. Her temperature boiled, so that's how he wanted to play it.
"Why is it your business what I do? " Hotaru challenged Ruka.
"Your one to talk your way ugly!" Mikan said, a bit to loud. In no time five girls were at her side yelling at her for insulting there precious Natsume, Hotaru shot them all with her Baka gun.
"I don't care what you do, I just think you try to hard to be an adult," Ruka said.
"I'm ugly huh?" Natsume cocked an eyebrow at the pile for fan girls. Mikan huffed and puffed her cheeks.
"Ms. Imai your limo had arrived," a man arrived at there table. Hotaru got up silently and started towards the door.
"Hotaru!" Mikan got up chasing after her, leaving the two alone. Ruka fuming and Natsume smirking.
Night
Mikan sighed, how could Hotaru leave suddenly like that? She keep having these meetings and selling off her inventions, it was horrid. Mikan let out a whine and kick her pillow, she was really looking forward to spending some time with her best friend. And she couldn't sleep also, and no way was she going tot that jerk room after calling her ugly.
"Oi ugly!" speak of the devil. Mikan turned to see Natsume coming towards her, how did he move around so silently? She turned away from him.
"If I'm so ugly why are you here?" she ask. He ignored he and climbed in the bed. She was playing with him. But he had something important to talk to her about.
"Because your special." She turned to smile at him, only to meet his serious face. She dropped the smile and tilted her head.
"What is it?" she ask. He look at her, she stared at him. He knew he shouldn't waste a night like this away, where they could be them no risk since Hotaru was away. That's what they say right? Why the mad scientist/ evil best friend away the flame caster and over happy girl will play?
"Ruka is going to confess to you," he said bluntly. He face dropped.
"What? That's ridiculous, where did you get that idea?" she knew it wasn't that ridiculous, but she didn't like what Natsume was saying.
"He told me, what are you going to do?" his face was serious and he look murderous.
"What should I do?" she questions. She stared at the ceiling.
"Whatever you want." he made it sound simple. She wanted to tell Ruka that she and Natsume were already together so it was a no, but could she? No.
"I want to tell him that you and me are together, I want to tell everyone," she said. He narrowed his eyes.
"Didn't we discuss this yesterday?" she sighed .
"Don't you want to take me out on a date? Kiss me in public? Hold my hand? Or am I really that ugly that you don't want to be seen with me? Your seen with your fan girls more then me!" Natsume glared at her.
"Don't give me crap about you being ugly we both know your beautiful. And I told you I can't have all of you, this is all I can have right now." She scowled, how could he turn such a wonderful compliment to an insult was beyond her.
"Why?! Why? Why? Why? If you don't want to go out with me just say it! You always say you can't but why?" he sighed, why did he come here in the first place?
"I can't tell you," he muttered.
"What's that? You just don't want to go out with me but your to much of a wuss to admit it?" He growled and pinned her down.
"That's not what I said," he growled.
"Will that's what I heard." Anyone but Mikan would have felt the sudden increase in temperature of the color change of his eyes.
"You're an idiot," he said.
"Again, if I'm an idiot why are you here?" they didn't really fight, really fight, that often. And she had a feeling this was serious.
"Because I feel like it." He said.
"You know what? Maybe I should accept Ruka he'd go out with me in public! And he wouldn't insult me!" she had crossed a line. Her mask had slipped out of her hand and hit the ground, a small crack now on its surface.
"Why the hell don't you then? Go the fuck away and be happy with Ruka!" he shouted in her face. He pushed away and sat up in bed.
"I just want you to like me," she whispered. He look down at her, she look at the ceiling. He slowly reached out to brush his hand in her hair. She flinched at his touch.
"I do like you," he said, cooling down a bit. He laid back down beside her and kissed her forehead.
"Hotaru said you were just a pervert, you only want me as a play toy." he wanted to burn that imai to ashes.
"She's wrong." he kissed her neck, she smiled a bit.
"You really like me?" she questioned. I love you, he wanted to say. But unlike her mask that had fallen his was still in tact.
"Yes, little girl, I like you. A lot." she smiled a bit more, though she wanted him to say more, she knew he wasn't letting the mask go. So she kissed him and said,
"I'll tell Ruka I only like him as a friend." Natsume smirked and kissed her again.
"And that you think no one can ever compare to Natsume Hyuuga," mumbled to her neck. She laughed.
"Yes and no one could ever compare to Natsume Hyuuga." She look at him and his mask, hers laid on the floor cracking in breaking. She suddenly had the urge to go and smash his mask apart, but could she? Could she really do that? I won't be able to take it much longer Natsume. Neither will you. she wanted to say. But if she did she'd ruin the good moment they were having now. And since there moments were limited and precious she let him explore her face with his lips and let every thought of anything past the night escape her.
