Previously…

Its two days before the ball. Mikan was one of the students who are preparing for it so their already cramming like hell. She was running here and there to give papers to the other people facilitating and then in one corner, she heard voices of people talking.

"Natsume!"

"What Ruka?"

End…

"Did you ask her already?" Ruka said and lean against the edge bordering the second floor from the cold ground in front of it.

"Who is he talking about?" Mikan thought. Her heart beating faster every second, she doesn't know why, she's having mixed emotions. The feeling of excitement, fear, sadness, happiness and even hurt. It's all mixed up that she can barely understand her own emotions.

"No." Natsume said it bluntly and with a small sigh accompanying it.

"Why not? You liked her ever since the day you first saw her." Ruka said.

"Who?"

"Don't fool around, Hyuuga Natsume. You liked her…Mikan." Ruka said.

Mikan blushed furiously and almost dropped on her knees. She's having hard time absorbing everything that Ruka said. It was sudden and –

"Who told you I liked her?"

"EH?"

"I hate her…

Everything stopped for Mikan. She doesn't know what to do. She ran as fast as she could, tears gushing out of her chocolate eyes. Her heart was broken into pieces.

"What do you mean?"

"I hate her for making me madly and crazy in love of her." Natsume said it. Ruka didn't say anything while Natsume started walking to the nearest corner which is at his left.

He stopped and picked up something that is kind of familiar to him. A white handkerchief with the pattern of sakura petals. He ran as fast as he could to find the owner of it, he was to out of his mind that he didn't hear Ruka calling him.

He ran here and there to catch up to that person who owns it. He asked every student that he passed by whether they saw her or passed by her but no one saw her.

~o~

Mikan let her feet lead her to somewhere that can make her feel good but it was the only place that she would lastly wanted to go to. It was the Sakura tree who never missed every single thing that happens between her and Natsume. The tree who knew everything from the very start.

"Hey, It's done. My fantasies. He dropped me off." She said while crying and having small hiccups in between words.

While she was talking to the Sakura tree, she missed to sense a person coming from behind her.

"My fear has already come true. The fear that I covered with the secret love I had for him. But you know what, I don't have the right to feel bad, right? He never did say that he likes me. I'm the only one dreaming that one day he can say it to m-

She was cut off by a warm hug from behind her. She knew who the person was. The touched that never fails to make her feel comfortable and safe. And the same touch that made her feel that she's not alone.

"Mikan, I lo-

"No, please don't say it. I know you're just doing this to make me feel better. It's okay, I know from the start that it will never happen. That it's only in my own dreams."

"Listen to me. Please."

"No, please just go." Mikan tried to break the hug but Natsume stayed firm.

"Please Natsume."

"No I'm not going until you're not listening."

Mikan cupped her face by her cold hands and started to cry even harder. Natsume broke the hug and spin Mikan carefully to make her face him.

He carefully touched her hands and took it away of her face. He cupped her chin and chocolate met crimson orbs.

"Stop crying." He said while his face was covered by his rave hair. He started brushing off the trail of tears from her puffy eyes.

"Natsume stop it. You're hurting me mo-

Natsume hushed her by putting his index finger on her lips.

"I know why you ran away." Mikan started to avoid his gaze that makes her feel the pain and hurt.

"Mikan, look at me." He said in a softer tone.

"You heard it, right? But incomplete."

"I hate you…for letting me become crazy over you. It hurt me when you don't fight back and whenever you only write everything about you in that diary. I want you to tell me everything. I want to know you." Natsume started massaging his temple while Mikan was just in a complete shock after his confession.

"Since that day when we met each other, you become the focus of my head. Every night and day, you always blow me off like there's nothing needed to think about just you. Do you know how hard it is to live like that?" He said while staring at her again.

"When you changed I was sad that it wasn't for me but I was also hoping that it was for me."

"Do you think I will change if it wasn't for you?" Mikan said.

There was an awkward silence between them for a second.

"Mikan, I love you."

"But I don't suit you."

"You're not cute; you are the most beautiful person I ever knew. I don't want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. If you die I will not cry but I will also die. If only I can do everything for you I wi-

Natsume was stopped by the sudden kiss that Mikan gave him. It was fast but Natsume started another one again.

"Natsume, I love you too."
