Chapter 2: Moonlit love

Mikan didn't see Natsume until after dinner. She knew that maybe turning her back on him wasn't really a good thing to do. After all he was just trying to show her how he felt without words. She wandered around the park, hoping that she could see Natsume again somewhere in the nightmare that she was in. A lovesick nightmare that she thought that she will never get out of. She had no way to explain herself, for the way that she acted. It was somewhat not herself to act like that. She pictured herself crying her eyes off for no reason. She shook her head, as she saw Natsume in the patio lit by the fireflies that danced in the moonlight. He was sitting there, looking into the bright sky. He looked as if he was deep in thought. Mikan just stood there behind a tree, watching him. She was wondering what he was doing. What he was deep in though about.

"Come out already. I know that you're there Mikan." Natsume still looked into the sky as if he were talking to himself. "What are you doing out here at this time of night? There is nothing of your business here for you to be here."

Mikan was shocked. She didn't know what to say if not to stutter some words back at him." I have all the business here, Natsume. This is my school too you know…" Mikan stepped forward from the shadows and walked to the entrance of the patio, trying to keep her distance from Natsume.

Natsume didn't say anything as a reply to Mikan. He really didn't want to talk about anything at the moment. He just stared blankly at the sky. His eyes gleaming, showing the reflection of the moon. Then at that time he closed his eyes.

"Natsume… What's wrong with you? " Mikan was a bit worried. Him just sitting there with his eyes closed; she really didn't want to see that site. She held out her hand, but put it back on her side thinking that it was best not to bother him. She sat next to him, but not too close. "It's a beautiful night isn't it? It would be just so better if we had our friends here as well. The moon, the stars, the trees, to fireflies; its just so perfect to have a picnic right here and now, don't you think? I would only think so…" Mikan blushed at the fact that Hotaru and the others sitting there watching the sky as well. It seemed like a great idea to her.

"Mikan, Why do you act like nothing happened earlier?" Natsume still had his eyes closed. He put his feet up now as well and had his head cradled by his arms. "It's just not right. I know how you felt about it. Yet your still here next to me, like nothing has happened… What will you do if I do that again. Maybe here and now. Aren't you worried about that fact?" His voice didn't change. It had no emotion, it was as serious as it could be.

Mikan was surprised to hear this. She couldn't really let him know that she didn't feel comfortable about her being there with him. She was just there to comfort him with her company. "I don't know what your talking about…" Mikan started

"Yes you do know, little girl!" Mikan jumped by his voice finally rising to a shout. But then he lowered his voice again. " Why don't you just leave me alone. I don't need you…" His voice trembled. He sounded as if he wanted to cry. But no tears came out. Mikan just stared at him with concerned eyes, but then had a change of heart. "You idiot, Natsume! I'm worried about you! I cant believe that I'm actually saying this to you, but there is no other way to make this odd feeling out of the air… I care about you Natsume. Even if you are always so rude and mean, I know that you have a heart that wants to show color but wont shine…" Mikan stood in front of him now yelling at him. Though he seemed not to listen to her, his eyes were still shut. But without saying a word, small flames appeared, flouting at the sides of Natsume. Mikan looked confused, but seemed to get the picture. He wanted her to leave. So she turned and started to get out of the patio, then Natsume reached for her hand and pulled on it, making Mikan stumble to the floor. She sat there with her head resting on the seat of the patio. She rubbed her forehead with her free hand and began to open her mouth to speak but got interrupted by the soft, tender lips that had her suspended from her thoughts. Natsume was on his right knee with his left up. His hands pinning Mikans to either side of her. When he was finished, he opened his eyes and looked into Mikan's, to see if she was crying again. But this time, she wasn't crying. She was staring back at him. Her confused eyes looked as confused as ever. She had something inside her feel as if she never wanted this moment to end, but the other part of her knew that it was bad enough that they had done it before, but doing this the second time wasn't good at all. Her heart was beating fast. Her lips were trembling. She knew that this moment wasn't supposed to continue. Without saying anything, she pushed Natsume off of her with one of her hands. He dropped sitting on the floor next to her. He watched Mikan stand up and brush herself off. "I'll see you tomorrow in class ok?" And she walked into the shadows.

As Mikan was walking off, Natsume just sat there on the floor watching her. He had his hand on his lips. Then looked back to the moon that seemed to be looking back at him.

Did you guys enjoy? I think that I overdone the story a bit. Please be truthful ok? And please make any suggestions if possible. I think that it would make me a better writer that way. Thanks for reading my fanfics! Also for my reviews!''
