Mikan's Pov...
It was a little after 8 o'clock when Natsume and I decided to go back to the Academy. The trip to the dorms were quietly awkward. What should I say? Finally I decided to break the tension building up between us.
"Natsume, Why won't you say my name?" I whispered the question that had been on my mind for the past few minutes.
"Because your an annoying little kid who can't grow up." He stated promptly with a cold, dark tone.
"You're a cocky - " I said no more. I couldn't insult my best guyfriend. But at the same time, I just didn't understand what went through his mind! I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration.
I eventually ceased my walking, teary-eyed and with a pout. Did he really think about me that way? Not long after, Natsume had noticed I wasn't beside him, then proceeded to look back at me and walked on. Did he really not care about me at all? I felt tears form in my eyes, threatening to fall once more. He walked away into the darkness, where the dorms were located. Finally, when he was away from view began to start walking once more. Come to think of it... He had never said my name ONCE. The last time I remember him doing so was a long time ago. I'm an annoying little kid who can't grow up, huh?
I walked unsteadily, eyeing my feet in melancholy. My chest hurt, with an unexplainable pain. My lips began to shake as tears ran down my face. Tonight was a rough night so far. It was only 8:30PM, but I was exhausted already, and so far the best way to set aside my problems was to sleep them away.
Natsume's Pov...
When Mikan and I had decided to go back, I felt... horrible for not saying her name. But what can I say? It's just something I can't bring myself to do, you know? When she brought up the question of saying her name, My mind froze, and I quickly improvised, saying that she was an annoying little kid who couldn't grow up. Ugh! What's wrong with me. She was on the verge of insulting me back, but I guess she couldn't.
I closed my eyes in irritation for myself. Once I opened my eyes, I had noticed that she wasn't beside me. I turned around just to see her troubled, and possible disappointed in me.
Mikan; she's so difficult! I decided to walk back to the dormitory, It was her fault that she decided to stop... No matter how worried I was, she would still refuse to walk with me.. Yeah, I know her that well. I could feel that she was beginning to cry. I still kept walking. Why? Because I'm an idiot.
Wait... What am I thinking? Why should I be worrying about Mikan? She's nothing important. I'll just tell that Baka that I was sorry. Ugh.
