All day long I can hear people talking out loud

Chapter 3:
"Hey big bro, what are we going to do for my birthday tomorrow?" Youichi asked, munching the popcorn on his hands while eying the television in full concentration.
Natsume Hyuuga stopped his attempt on plopping a handful of popcorn to his mouth as he turned his head to his concentrated little brother, completely remembering that it will be his 8th birthday tomorrow. Crap, how could he forget the birthday of his one and only brother? Maybe because he was too busy with the painting demands of his clients that he didn't even had the chance to think about other things and check the calendar.
"Well, it would be up to you. What would you want to do in your birthday?" Natsume asked gently. Youichi look at his older brother, his teal eyes shining with excitement. Natsume knows that spark in his brother eyes and he knows too well also that the spark emitting from Youichi's eyes is something that he wouldn't want to do but he has to do.
"Well," Youichi gave him a big wide smile, "I would want Mikan-Onee chan to come in my celebration. I want it to be a simple celebration between the three of us!"
Natsume mentally slapped himself. His instincts is right. Youichi's is really planning something. And he had guessed already that Youichi's request would be something that is regarding with the Mikan Sakura. He coughed, clearing his throat before he looked at his brother's teal eyes, "I don't think that's a good idea. Mikan-san couldn't probably go in your birthday because you know, she's in the entertainment field. And everyone in the entertainment field is someone who can be undeniably classified as busy persons."
Youichi pouted at his words, "Well, we could still try, right big bro?"
Natsume arched his brow towards his insisting brother, "And how would you do that, little brat?"
Youichi smirked, "You got her manager's calling card, right?" Oh yeah, Natsume totally forgot about the calling card that he placed safely on his wallet, "If you're going to be a good big brother, you'll talk to Mikan-Onee chan and ask her if she can go to my birthday right?"
"You're being bossy Youichi," Natsume hissed, "Don't forget that I'm still your older brother. You can't order me around whenever you wants to."
"Eh? Big bro! Don't get me wrong. It's a request, not an order!" Youichi defended himself, "But if you don't want to contact Onee-chan, it's alright. Though my birthday wouldn't be complete without Onee-chan's presence, I'm fine with it. I don't want to angered you again because of my insisting," He said, putting in a gloomy look along with a pout on his cute face.
Natsume sighed. Crap, Youichi is using that expression again. The expression that he wouldn't want to see in his brother. The expression that always makes him agree with everything this young lad wants. And the expression that always put him in a very difficult situation. Crap. Just crap.
"Fine! Just stop sulking already," Natsume said, heaving a big sigh. Youichi's face lit up and he smiled widely towards Natsume.
"Yay! Thank you very much, big bro! You are really the best!" Youichi said happily, "So, how about calling Onee-chan now, big bro?"
Natsume just shook his head and took the calling card in his wallet before he dialed the number in his cellphone.
"Just so you know. This would be the last time that I'll do anything for the likes of you," He said, glaring at the smiling Youichi on the couch before diverting his attention towards the phone again.
"Hello, may I talk to Mikan-san? Hyuuga Natsume on the line," He said through the phone.
Hotaru Imai silently sat on the reserved seat for her, watching her best friend strikes some pose for the new clothing line she had been offered to model. She sipped her coffee with finesse. She put down the coffee on the coffee table when she heard her cellphone ringing. She took the phone out from her black business suit and raised a brow when an unregistered number flash on her cellphone's screen.
"Hello, who is this?" she asked strictly, completely not liking the idea of a stranger knowing her number.
"Hello, may I talk to Mikan-san? Hyuuga Natsume on the line," The caller said casually.
"What do you want from her?" Hotaru asked coldly and Hotaru being the sharp person, she heard the person in the other line clicked his tongue, maybe due to annoyance and the coldness of her voice.
"I just need something to discuss to her, is that bad?" Natsume snapped. He didn't like the way this person talks to him. No one had ever to him in this way. Not with Natsume Hyuuga.
"She's working, just call-" But before Hotaru can finished what she was supposed to say, she heard the photographer announced that the photo shoot is done. So, Natsume Hyuuga is one lucky man eh? "I guess, you can talk to her. Wait for a while," Hotaru said.
"Hey Hotaru! How's my poses? Did you like it?" Mikan cheerfully said when Hotaru approached her. She accepted the bottle of cold water that was handed to her by one of the PA's in the set.
"Someone is looking for you," Hotaru said with an emotionless voice, completely ignoring Mikan's question.
"Looking for me? Who could that be?" Mikan asked curiously, taking another gulp on her bottled water.
"Hyuuga Natsume," Hotaru said frugally. Mikan choked at her drink as she glanced at Hotaru with wide chocolate brown orbs.
"Natsume?" Mikan eyes, her eyes still wide and her mouth hanging a little.
"Yeah, Hyuuga Natsume. The one who saves you from those guys. Here," Hotaru said, handing the phone to Mikan, who on the other hand, reluctantly accepted it. Hotaru walked away. Mikan cleared her throat before placing the receiver to her ear.
"Hello? Mikan Sakura here," Mikan said, trying to calm the fast beating of her heart. It's been so long since the last time she saw the two Hyuugas, and she admits that she kinda miss the funny arguing of the two siblings. Her heart's beat become faster when the person on the other line spoke.
"Hello," Natsume said, his voice still the same. No trances of nervousness or uneasiness can be detect on that seductive voice of his. Did she just said seductive? Oh crap, she's being insane!
"Um, how are you?" Her voice a little shaky and she wants to smack her head for being nervous. She heard Natsume stifled a laugh and she couldn't help being embarrassed and annoyed by it. "Why the heck are you laughing?"
"Nothing. Did I disturbed you?" Natsume asked.
"Nah. Why did you call? Do you need anything?" Mikan said, trying to come out with some possible reasons why he would call her.
"Are you free tomorrow night?" Natsume said frankly, not even stuttering with every words he say. OH. MY. GOD. Mikan's heart started to pound more, almost jumping out from her chest. Crap, is he planning to take her out for a date? Mikan shook her head. She inhale and exhale before answering the question.
"No, I don't have anything to do. Why asked?" Mikan asked. Even though she cannot see her face right now, she is sure that she's blushing madly because of her own thoughts.
"Youichi's birthday is tomorrow. He wants to invite you to come over in our house and celebrate it with us. Can you come? He won't stop bothering me unless you say yes." Natsume said.
Mikan's face fell but when she realized what he had said, it immediately changed into a shocked expression, "Eh? Youichi-kun's birthday? Tomorrow?"
"Yeah, can you come?" Natsume asked, preventing himself to sound hopeful or desperate.
"Sure. I'll come. It's Youichi's birthday, afterall," Mikan said cheerfully.
"Alright, do you want me to pick you up?" Natsume asked softly.
"Nah, you don't have to. I've been there right? I can go there by myself. Just tell me what time should I come," Mikan muttered.
"Alright then, around 7:00. Would that be fine?"
"Yeah. 7:00 it is. By the way, tell Youichi that I said 'hi and advance happy birthday'. Got to go now," Mikan said excitedly.
"Okay. Bye," And Natsume hang up. Mikan flipped closed the cellphone and smiled widely, excitement is written all over her face. A dinner with the Hyuugas tomorrow night? That would be fun. She quickly run towards her dressing room and found Hotaru reading a magazine on the sofa.
"Hotaru! Quick! I need to go to the mall," and with that, Mikan quickly change her clothes and pull Hotaru to the nearest mall, much to Hotaru's annoyance.
She's so excited for tomorrow, there's no doubt about that.
Natsume pressed the end button before turning around to face his younger brother, whose eyes now are sparkling with happiness. He shook his head.
"She'll go," Natsume said plainly, tucking his cellphone inside his pocket. Youichi jumped from both happiness and excitement. Natsume looked at his younger brother and smiled a little. He always like it when Youichi act this way and he always like it when he makes Youichi happy. For an older brother and only relative, it's now his obligation to make the boy happy.
"Yay! So, what are we still doing here, big bro?" Youichi turned at him and smiled at him. Natsume gave him a curious look. "Come on now, let's go to the grocery to buy something to cook for tomorrow. And oh, don't forget to buy me a box of howalon big bro! It's my birthday after all." And Youichi dragged him to the nearest grocery store.
Yeah, Youichi is bossy. A spoiled brat, to be exact.
And Natsume is a sucker, always following whatever his brother wants.
But what can he do? He love his brother so much that he wants him to be always happy and the best for him.
And it's not like he doesn't want to see Mikan again?
That would make him a total liar if he says he don't.
"Big bro, what time did Mikan-Onee chan said she would arrive?" Youichi asked excitedly, looking at the clock every now and then while sitting on the dining set, watching his older brother prepare the dishes for their little celebration.
"Around 7:00. Don't be too excited, will you? And maybe you could be a little help here," Natsume answered back taking out the turkey in the oven.
"Mou, I'm the birthday celebrant here big bro. So it only means that you should treat me as a prince for today," Youichi said, resting his chin on his palm which is placed above the table. He glared at the younger Hyuuga.
"Are you going to help me or I'm not going to give you your present?" Natsume hissed. Youichi is a sucker about gifts. The younger lad loves to receive gifts in special occasions so he knew that Youichi would immediately cram to help him out. He mentally smirked at himself.
Youichi rolled his eyes before he hop out the chair. "I'll pass big bro, gotta go to the bathroom!" Or maybe not. And with that, Youichi dash off the room, leaving the irritated Natsume alone.
Natsume heaved a very big sigh before turning his attention back to his previous task. He took the turkey out of the oven and carefully placed it on the table. And as if on cue, the door bell rang. Since Youichi is still in the bathroom, he has no other choice but to open the door by himself.
He slowly made his way towards the front door and took hold of the door knob. He inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm the fast beating of his heart. He slowly opened the door and knowing who it was, he kept his stoic expression. But not long enough, the stoic expression is replaced by an amused expression. He gulped.
In front of him is a gorgeous and smiling brunette who is wearing a simple red dress. With her long brunette hair tied up high, she looks stunning. She is holding a box, which he guessed is a cake and a paper bag.
"Hi," Mikan said smiling. Natsume snapped back from his reverie.
"Come in," He said without emotion. He moved aside and open the door more widely so that she can enter. She enter the house happily before turning around to face him.
"Um, here," Mikan handed the box. "I don't know what flavor Youichi and you likes so I settled with a chocolate cake. We all know that everyone likes chocolate."
Natsume accepted the box. "Any flavor would do. Don't worry about it."
Mikan's smile widened. "So, how are-" but before Mikan could finish the question she was about to ask, a silver-haired boy came running towards her and gave her a big bear hug. Mikan laughed.
"Onee-chan, I missed you!" Youichi said, hugging Mikan's waist while looking up at her with his big teal eyes. Mikan smiled at the cuteness of the boy.
"I missed you too, Youichi. Happy birthday!" Mikan said happily, placing a soft cheek on the kid's chubby cheek and handing him her present.
"Thank you, Onee-chan! Come, let's go and eat. I'm starving," Youichi said. He grabbed both Mikan's and Natsume's hand before walking towards the kitchen. They ate everything that is served in the small dining table. Usually, with every bit, Mikan would compliments Natsume's cooking that made the raven a little bit embarrassed. He would just continue eating, trying to hide the blush that would usually crept on his cheeks or simply shrugged.
It was a fun night, especially to Youichi. For the first time in his life, he felt that he has a family. A mother and a father. A mother figure in Mikan and a father figure in his older brother.
And when Youichi blew the candles in his cake, it is finally official that he turned a year older. He smiled happily before he took the paper bag that he carefully placed on the ground. "Ne, onee-chan. What is this?" Youichi said, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he carefully took a medium size box with a green bow.
"I hope you like it, Youichi," Mikan said.
Youichi opened the box and was amazed in the thing inside it. It is a medium sized brown-colored bear. It was really unique cause it's face carries a frown. He had never seen a teddy with that kind of face. Usually, he would always see a stupidly smiling bear everywhere but not a frowning bear. He cuddled the bear and found it to be soft. He thankfully smiled at Mikan. "Thank you, Onee-chan! I like it so much!"
On the other hand, Natsume went out the room and when he came back he was already carrying a rectangular-shaped gift with a red bow. He handed it to Youichi who excitedly took it out of his older brother's grip. "Happy birthday, kiddo."
Youichi hastily tear the gift wrapper and when he finally saw his present, a big smile grimaced his face. It was a painting of him, Natsume and their parents.
"Remember the last time you asked me to make a family painting? So there, I thought that it would be a perfect gift for your birthday," Natsume said with a little smile on his handsome face. Youichi looked at Natsume with tears on the corner of his eyes and he jumped on his older brother and gave him a hug.
"Thank you for everything, big bro!" Youichi said happily while Natsume tapped his back to ceased him from crying.
Mikan on the other hand, just smiled at the strong bond between the two brothers. Maybe, it would be great if she has a younger sibling to spoiled.
And so the night continued.
It was already 10:00 in the evening when Mikan decided to bid her goodbye and go home.
"I think I should go home now," she said, catching the attention of two Hyuugas who are watching a movie. She stood up and bow as a sign of gratitude. Natsume stood up.
"I'll walk you home then, it will be very dangerous if you walk alone the city," Natsume proclaimed. He didn't let Mikan refused because he already grabbed his house keys. "Youichi, don't forget to lock the door and windows when you decided to sleep. I'll be back quickly."
"Alright big bro! Take care. Byebye, Onee-chan! See you soon," Youichi said, waving a hand on Mikan's direction. Mikan smiled and leaned towards the young lad and pecked the top of his head.
"Happy birthday Youichi. See you soon," And they left the house.
They made their way towards Mikan's apartment but Mikan stopped midway when she found a park. She looked at Natsume and then smiled. "Can we stay here for a little while?" she asked. Natsume just shrugged and then nodded his head.
They sat on one of the big and blossoming Sakura Tree. Silence engulfed the two of them, both looking at the dark sky and watching the perfect view of the moon.
"Ne Natsume," Mikan said, breaking the ice between the two of them. Natsume looked at the girl beside him, looking beautiful under the shade of the moon. "I know it's not my business, but where are your parents?"
Natsume kept silent, and for a while, Mikan thought the he made Natsume angry because of opening the topic of his parents. Quickly as possible, she apologized. "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that."
Natsume just shook his head and looked at the sky again, "It's alright. They passed away. Mother died when she gave birth with Youichi and father," Natsume sighed. "died out of desperation and loneliness. He drunk every night that causes for his health to weakened."
Mikan stayed quiet and she looked down, feeling guilty for asking such question after seeing the sadness that cross in Natsume's eyes. "I'm sorry for asking,"
Natsume nodded and another silence enveloped them again. After a while, she attempts to start a new conversation.
"Youichi is such a nice kid, isn't he? Your lucky to have him as your brother," Mikan said. Natsume chuckled.
"That kid is impossible. He reminds me of myself when I was young. He's bossy and what he wants is always what he gets," Natsume smiled a little. "But I'm glad that I have him. At least I know that I'm not alone."
"You love your brother so much eh?" Mikan said smiling.
"He's the only family I have. I couldn't just leave him behind right?" Natsume answered back. "And that kid is obsessed with you. Sometimes, I wonder why my ears doesn't bleed whenever he played your cd repeatedly."
Mikan laughed. "I could see that."
SILENCE AGAIN...
"Say Natsume," She turned her head sidewards, glancing at the raven-haired boy beside her who, in the other hand, is silently watching the star and moon above. "What did you think of me when we first met?"
"I could ask you the same thing," Natsume said, turning his head sidewards, making their face a few centimeters away from each other. Crimson and Auburn met. They stared at each other eyes for a while before temptation and desire got the best of him. He leaned forward. Mikan closed her eyes as well as Natsume.
If the last time didn't worked out because Youichi came barging in the door, this time, their lips finally met that cause for the both of them to feel electric waves entering their body. It was a gentle kiss, both responding with same ferocity. Natsume slanted his lips for a better angle as he deepened the kiss.
Natsume Hyuuga felt a different spark as he kissed this girl, a feeling he never felt before towards any other girls.
Mikan snapped back from reality as she pushed the shocked raven gently. Her face red. She look down, trying not to meet the intense gaze of his blood red eyes. Natsume on the other hand, seems to realized what he had done.
"I'm sorry," Natsume muttered. "I didn't meant to."
Mikan just nodded. Natsume stood up and extend a hand towards her. "Come on now, it's late. I'll take you home."
Mikan hesitantly took his hand. He pull her hand to help her stand up but because of Mikan's clumsiness, she lose balance that made her stumbling in Natsume's strong arms. She quickly pulled away, her face in 10 shades of red.
Natsume grabbed her arm. He pulled her and they made their way towards her apartment.
Natsume panicky took a basin of cold water in the kitchen and when he finally did, he quickly run towards one of the room inside the house. He took a clean towel in one of the drawer and sat beside the bed where a silver-haired boy is lying, his face red, eyes half-opened and breathe rapid.
Natsume soaked the towel in the basin and gently squeezed it. He put the towel on Youichi's forehead. He looked at his brother worriedly before putting the back of his hand on the crook of his neck to check his temperature. He sighed in relieved when he felt that Youichi's temperature went down.
"Youichi, how are you feeling?" He asked worriedly his sick younger brother. He was shocked earlier when Youichi didn't came down for breakfast, which is very unusual, that's why he decided to checked what happened to his younger brother. It surprised him to see Youichi hugging the blanket tightly as if his life depends on it. When he looked at him closely, he found his chubby cheeks in a shade of red and his breath fast. Instinctively, he put his hand on his forehead and found him burning in fever.
"I'm fine now, big bro," Youichi answered weakly.
"Are you hungry or something?" Natsume asked again, fixing the blanket and gently draped it on Youichi's weak body. "Hang on there, I called Ruka already. He'll be here soon." Ruka is his childhood friend who became a doctor.
Youichi nodded and then glanced at his older brother. "Big bro, please call Onee-chan. I want to see her."
Natsume sucked the inside of his cheeks. It has been two weeks since that incident, the incident when he kissed her. Natsume hates to admit it, but he felt ashamed of himself for giving up with temptation. And he is still embarrassed to talk to Mikan. Although Mikan didn't show any indication that she's angry, Natsume still haven't let go of the possibility that she might be angry. But Youichi is sick, and Mikan could help Youichi to recover considering that the kid is very attached to the brunette. Natsume sighed. Lately, Natsume realized that he's been sighing a lot.
He patted Youichi's head before smiling at him. "Alright, I'll call her. Just promise me that you'll get well soon you brat."
And Youichi nodded his head before closing his teal eyes and dozed off.
"Mikan, Hyuuga on the phone," Hotaru said, handing her the phone before returning her attention back to the TV. Mikan Sakura accepted the phone, yet she didn't answer the phone immediately. The scenes from last last week is still fresh on her mind. It's not like she's angry, but she's embarrassed. What will Natsume think? She's an easy-to-get-girl that allows a guy she barely knows to kiss her, well excluding the actors that she needs to kiss for a certain purpose. Oh God. But if she won't answer the call, he might think that she's avoiding him.
She gathered all the courage she has and slowly, she placed the receiver on her ear. "Hello?"
"Are you busy?" Natsume mutely asked.
She gulped first before answering. "No, why?"
After a few seconds later, he answered gloomily. "It's about Youichi."
Panic rushed over her when she heard Youichi's name. It's just been a while since they met, but she's been attached with the little boy already. "What happened to him?"
"He's sick and he wanted me to call you and ask you to go here. He said he wanted to see you."
"I'll be coming over now. Please tell Youichi to get well soon." And she hang up and left with out saying anything to Hotaru.
She arrived at the Hyuuga residence after 20 minutes and she immediately knocked at the door. Natsume opened the door for her.
"How's Youichi?" She asked worriedly.
"His fever went down now. Come in," Natsume said and walked ahead of her. She closed the door and stared at Natsume's back, her heart skipped a beat as she noticed how strong his back looks.
They enter one of the room which she guessed is Youichi's. And there, she saw Youichi laying in his bed, a thermometer on his mouth and a blond guy putting a stethoscope on Youichi's chest. Natsume walked towards the other side of the bed, looking at Youichi worriedly. "How's he?"
"Ah, don't worry Natsume. He'll be fine soon. He just need some rest," The blond said gently. Suddenly, he looked at Mikan's direction. "Eh? Aren't you Sakura Mikan?"
Mikan bowed her head, "I'm Mikan Sakura, nice meeting you."
"I'm Ruka Nogi, Natsume's best friend. Nice meeting you, Sakura-san," Ruka said and then bowed. He turned to Natsume's direction. "Natsume, I should go now. There are still things I need to do at the clinic. Just call me if something happen, alright?"
"Thanks Ruka," Natsume said and Ruka nodded. He walked away after bidding goodbye to Mikan.
Mikan walk towards Youichi's bed and brush his silver bangs. Youichi slowly opened his eyes and smiled warmly at Mikan. "How are you, little Youichi?"
"Onee-chan, I'm fine now," Youichi answered.
"Get well soon," Mikan said smiling. Youichi nodded and went back to sleep.
Just then, Natsume stood up. "I'll go cook some dinner. Please look after Youichi for a while until I'm back."
And he walked away.
"Open your mouth, You-chan!" Mikan said cheerfully, placing the spoon in front of Youichi.
"Ahhhh," Youichi happily opened his mouth and swallow the food. Mikan laughed.
"Mou, You-chan is so cute!" Mikan shrieked with delight.
Natsume on the other hand, smiled secretly while watching the TV. The two seems to have a strong bond between them. Accidentally, Mikan glanced at his direction. Their eyes met for a moment but soon she looked away. He didn't fail to notice the small blush that crept on her pretty face. He knows that she is still not comfortable with him around especially after what happened the last time they.
After Mikan fed Youichi, she tucked him in the bed and hummed a song for him while brushing gently his silver strands. After a few minutes, Youichi felt asleep. Mikan stood up and awkwardly walked towards the kitchen, holding the used bowl. Natsume followed her.
He found her washing the bowl, and from the looks of it, she failed to notice that he is around. He walked towards her and stood behind her.
"Hey," Natsume muttered softly.
Mikan was surprised that he followed her and accidentally, she let go of the bowl and it broke into pieces.
"I'm sorry!" Mikan said quickly, picking up the broken pieces carefully. But much to her shock, Natsume hold her hand which is holding the broken pieces. Natsume slowly opened Mikan's palm that made her let go of the broken pieces. She kept her head low before she felt Natsume's hand cupping her chin so that she can look at him straight in the eyes. "Um, I'm really sorry for-"
"Are you scared of me?" Natsume said, cutting her off.
Is she scared of him? "N-no," she said stuttering.
"Then why does it look like you're avoiding me?" Natsume pressed.
"I-I think you got it all wrong. I'm not avoiding y-you," Mikan answered nervously.
"But it doesn't look like it. Is this because of what happened the last time?" Natsume asked. Mikan gulped.
"Of course n-not," Mikan said defensively.
"I don't believe you," he leaned his forehead onto her. "I said I was sorry. I really didn't mean it. But it doesn't mean that I regret it. Because believe it or not, I didn't regret kissing you."
Mikan's eyes widened with that, "What do you me-," but he kissed her before she can finished whatever she was supposed to say.
It was passionate and demanding, and Mikan couldn't help but respond to it. She felt Natsume licked her lips, causing her to open her mouth and for Natsume to take the opportunity to slipped his tongue in Mikan's mouth. Mikan gasped. True, she had been kissed by different guys, but it was all because of work and it was nothing compared to this kiss. Those kisses are plain while Natsume's is full of lust, desire and gentleness? Mikan doesn't know.
Mikan felt Natsume's lips went down on her throat and she unconsciously moaned his name in delight. This cause for Natsume to lift her up, lips still against each other as Natsume walked towards the stairs, wrapping both Mikan's legs around his waist while Mikan's arms were wrapped on his neck.
Occasionally breaking the contact of their lips, she felt herself being laid on a bed. And the next thing she knew, she was already naked under Natsume's gaze. Her mind is blank and it seems that it couldn't function properly when Natsume burning gaze is directed to her. She knows that she should stop him, but she couldn't find the courage to do it. And when Natsume leaned forward again for an animalistic kiss, she finally let go of her inhibitions.
Natsume stared at the ceiling, both hands behind his head, serving as his pillow while Mikan is curled against him. He was deep in thoughts, thinking how he end up in this situation. When they were alone in the kitchen, the reaction was instant. Temptation brought him to insanity and his desire for her took the best out of him. When he heard her moan his name, the tiny bit of self-control he has had left his body.
He looked down, only to find the top of her head. He removed one hand from his head and wrapped it around her shoulder, pulling her closer.
"I don't regret this," Natsume muttered, breaking the silence.
He felt Mikan snuggled closer to him and he hugged her tighter.
"Me neither," He heard her muttered.
Natsume took her chin so that she can look up at him. He leaned again and kissed her before saying, "Rest. Sleep now."
And Mikan closed her eyes in instant, exhaustion enveloping her whole being. "Goodnight."
Soon enough, Mikan fell asleep. And he too, closed his eyes and dozed off after pulling the girl beside him closer as possible.
Author's note: Kya, I love my avatar! :) Really, you know why? Because Natsume is so cute when he was still a baby! Oh by the way, the next chapter would be the last :]] I promise. This chapter would have been out earlier if not for my laziness. Honestly, I got a hard time making this chapter, not because I don't have any idea what to write but actually, I'm too lazy to type the ideas I got in my mind.
Anyhows, I would like to say thank you for those people who spend a little of their time to leave me a review. So, how about leaving me a review again? That would be great ya know? Reviews made my day, not to mention motivates me. Haha. Bye for now!
