Chapter Three: I Won!
Inseparable. That's how we'll always be, inseparable. Just you and me, it's so wonderful, to know you'll always be around me…(this is being sung)
At Central Town's famous Alice Restaurant, Ruka treated Hotaru for dinner. Ahm. Well, they were having their second dinner date. Well the first time was when they first got together after Ruka sincerely asked her. This is what really happened inside Hotaru's lab that time.
FLASHBACK:
Ding Dong! He just came from central town to buy a grand bouquet of flowers for the girl he truly likes.
"Welcome to Hotaru Imai's Research Facility, please key in your Identity to gain access." said Imai's robot.
"Nogi Ruka. Middle School Dept. Class B, Pheromone Alice. ID No. 56573."
"Please come in." The robot guided him to Hotaru's Lab.
He saw a small boy with red hair working alongside Hotaru. He seems to be familiar to Ruka.
"Dexter?"he asked.
The small boy replied, "I am Dexter, boy genius."
"Whoa! You..You're…"he startled at what he saw.
"He's just an emulation of the real one. He's my lab new lab assistant."
"uhm. I thought he.." he sighed.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hotaru, I…I want to give you this" he stretched his arms holding the bouquet and gave it to her.
"…" She was too overwhelmed to respond. Her robot brought a table and served coffee. Then the two talked.
"Hotaru…"
"Stop, don't talk, you've always been the one telling me how you feel, let me tell you how I feel."
This is it, this is the day Ruka has been waiting for.
"Nogi, you've been doing this everyday, persistently showing how you really feel. It's been half a year now yet I never showed a respond to your regard."
"yeah.. It's true, it's only now that you treated me with coffee. It's kinda new to me. I hope this is not the end." He replied cheerfully. She aimed her baka gun at him but he never closed his eyes, he just stared at what's behind the gun, her cute and emotionless face.
"You're not scared?" she asked with a blank face. (the normal Hotaru look – Emotionless)
"No, I know you're not gonna aim it to me and besides, that's one of the qualities you posses that I like." He smirked with that charming face of his.
She dropped the gun and just stared at him again.
"Hotaru" he continued on talking. "I've always liked the way you are. The Hotaru who stares blankly at people. Then when they are acting stupid, you shot them with your baka gun. You benefit others with your businesses and knows how to value things like money and most of all, you know how to treasure the people around you, esp. your bestfriend."
She still hasn't showed any sign of being touched by his compliment. He was worried of what the probable outcome.
"I love everything about you." He said as his face turned really red.
"Me too." She responded and grinned.
This was the first time he saw her smile at him. He stood up in awe of her response and went near her.
She also stood up and hugged him, tight.
They stood still and just cherished that simple hugging moment. They blushed.
She really does less talking. He thought.
His stomach grumbled. Upon hearing this she let go and went in her closet.
Urgh! How could you complain at this precious moment!!he complained.
She went out changed in a pink blouse. She was really very pretty in that blouse. She walked near him and said, "I'm hungry to, let's eat?"
"Uh..sure."he answered.
His face was filled with an unexplicable joy that only she could give. They went off to central town to have dinner.
He was still bashful when they were walking together while holding hands that twilight.
"You're my boyfriend now, have a little confidence. Baka."she said with a little trace of happiness in her face.
He smiled at her and thought, She's insensitive, but it's what made me fall madly In love with her.
The day after that, they were inseparable. Whenever Hotaru's around, Ruka's also there. Mikan and Natsume had no choice but to always stick with each other and the other guys since they want their bestfriends to have their own love lives.
End of flashback…where was I?
Oh yeah right..
They were having their romantic dinner date at central town, in a restaurant where a singer was having an acoustic night. They danced in the music inseparable and felt like they were the only ones on the dance floor.
The next morning, Hotaru went to school first so Ruka went with Natsume.
"I thought you accompany her everyday. It's strange that you're accompanying me instead."
"I just miss you, that's all."
"Shut up! It's creepy!"
They both laughed.lol.
"Natsume! Natsume!"
A sharp shouting voice was calling him. He looked back seeing Mikan running fastly towards them.
"Ohayo Mikan-chan!"
She was gasping as she waved at Ruka.
"What now?" Natsume asked.
"I just don't have anyone go with, then I saw the two of you from afar." She sighed to her exhaustion.
"Yah right. Whatever. Come on, we're running late." Natsume whined.
The three just headed to school. When they were near the Middle school building Mikan started a conversation.
"Hey Ruka, can I ask you something?"
"Yup. What is it?"
"Ahm..are you..uhm..and Hotaru..you know.." connecting her two pointing fingers. Natsume vexed at Mikan's question.
"Ah..yeah..it's been weeks now."
"WHAT?!" Natsume asked in surprise. "Wha..Why didn't you tell me!?"he corroborated.
"You never asked. No one asked. It was just now that somebody asked."he explained.
Mikan laugh out loud.lol.XD.
"I..I.." Natsume was wretched with the news. Though he knows that he could possibly lose the bet due to the sweet things they're seeing but he never thought that they really committed to each other.
When they reached their classroom, Mikan ran straight to Hotaru and hugged her. Hotaru shot her with a baka gun. She was tossed inches away but she just chuckled.
Natsume saw the whole thing and felt annoyed. Ruka was just smiling at her girlfriend.
"I'm just so happy Hotaru, very happy."
"Baka!"She exclaimed.
Mikan saw Natsume standing at the door laughing at her.
"Natsume!Help me out here!"she ordered.
"Neh?"he asked knowing in mind that what she means is to help her 'cause he's now her slave.
Mikan showed a malevolent look at him then he ran to her and carried like a bride to her to her desk. Everybody was amazed at what Natsume did.
"Natsu…" she gazed upon his light face and ruby eyes.
He just kept quiet and sat on his desk beside her. She was still astonished at what had happened and she kept staring at Natsume.
"Stop it." He said.
"You're just annoyed"she said exasperatingly
"Why should I be?" he asked.
"Cause I won!"
