Chapter 2
The wild fire quenched by gentle hazel
Last Chapter:
"What are we going to do today Mikan?" he asked as she led him towards the field.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She led him towards their favorite spot on top of a hill and motioned for him to sit down on a checkered blanket that was already prepared beforehand.
"Today, Natsume, I'm going to give you my monthsary present. To make up for all the crappy ones I gave you before."
Natsume smirked, "A handmade cap with our initials on it is not a crappy present."
"Yes, but the letters were all crooked." Mikan retorted as she turned her back and opened the picnic basket that was also already prepared beforehand.
"So…..what is your anniversary present?" Natsume asked, trying to peek over her shoulder
"I'm going to give you 10 reasons why I love you." She said softly, her back still facing him.
His expression softened as he heard what she said, he leaned back on the grass with his arms behind his head, his eyes faced upwards at the forget-me-not sky.
He sat up and saw her watching him with the same sadness in her eyes
"What?"
"N-nothing…anyway…."
She sat down and leaned towards him
"The first reason why I love you" she said as she handed him a pure red orchid "is because of your eyes."
She leaned much closer and stared into his eyes, red staring into hazel.
Natsume smiled as he remembered that these were the very eyes that helped his calm down, the hazel that quenched the fire.
Gentleness will always be able to successfully tame wild fire.
He thought as they lied down on the blanket and stared at the clouds.
