- "Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met."

With the absent of Hotaru, this Saturday morning was particularly good. Natsume had awoken with Mikan still beside him and it being 1:00 p.m (the latest he's ever slept in). He played with her hair and watched her sleeping face, he felt as if they were in the calm before the storm. He laid back on the pillows and stared out on her open balcony where the sun was shining brightly. He used to hate the sun, he still did. He had always liked night better, less people to glare at him, more sleep, more Mikan. What was there not to love about night? But today the sun didn't seem so bad, the academy was quiet for everyone was probably at lunch and the breeze came in making it a very nice day for mid October. Mikan muttered in her sleep and open her eyes. At first she smiled, then her face turned to panic.

"Natsume?! What are you doing here? What time is it or we late? Where is Hotaru? Why are you here?" she look around.

"Oi shut up, its Saturday no school stupid, and that freak went out of the academy. Your so stupid." she scowled and look over at the clock.

"One! I can't believe I slept in this late, I never sleep in past ten!" she was panicking. Natsume just rolled his eyes and pulled her closer.

"Shouldn't you be enjoying the fact I'm still here, little girl?" she turned towards him, as if realizing that he was indeed still there when she awoke. She smiled brightly at him.

"Yes, I am very very happy that your still here," she said kissing him," but I have to take a shower and hurry or I'll miss lunch." lunch ended at 1:45 she had to be quick. She got up and made her way to the bathroom turning on the shower. "Out!" she ordered. He growled and keep his place on the bed. "I have to take a shower."

"And…..? There is a door between us I can't see anything," he said much to his dismay.

"Yeah, but you'll accidentally barge in." he smirked.

"And…?" she huffed.

"I am locking the door and you better be gone by the time I get out, hear me?" he smirked and buried himself under the covers. She glared at him as she shut the door.

About twenty minutes later Mikan stepped out of the shower and grabbed a pink fluffy towel and reached for her clothes…..which were not there. She groaned, she had forgotten to grab her clothes. She look at the wooden door in front of her, maybe Natsume had listen and left…..or went to breakfast himself. She smiled, yes there was a good chance he would not be in her room. She opened the door a crack, no Natsume. She opened it a little farther and look around, no Natsume. She sighed and step out into the room and slowly made her way to the closet. Within a moment she was pinned against the wall, her towel barley holding up.

"And where do you think your going dressed like that?" he whispered in her ear. Her face went red as she struggled to slip away.

"Where did you come from?" she ask, trying to grasp the piece of the towel that had fallen. If he moved her towel would fall completely.

"I can't believe you even step out here like this Polka dots, you never know who might be watching." He moved his lips to her neck (if u haven't guessed his favorite part of her). She didn't like where this was going.

"I have to get dressed.." she reached her hand towards her closet knob. He reached out and clasp his hand with hers and held it against the wall moving his lips to hers. She gasp which only made things worse as he slipped his tongue in. She had no chance against him, she ran her hand through his hair, letting go the other piece of her towel. The only thing that keep the towel in place was his body against hers. Surprisingly Natsume didn't notice this since he was to busy mapping out every inch of her mouth with his tongue. She hadn't noticed this either since she was to busy guiding his tongue along. It was only when Natsume moved his hand to her hips and felt bare skin did either of them noticed. They broke apart, Mikan look down. Her face turned bright red and he smirked. Of course she couldn't reach the two ends of her towel and if she ask Natsume to move so she could reach it the parts of her towel covering all the important stuff would slip. So she had to do it. "Natsume.." she stuttered," can you please grab my towel." he smirked and she thought she died right there. There was no dignified way to ask. He reached down and grabbed the towel and handed to her, she quickly wrapped the rest around her, she was never going to live this down.

"Anything else Polka dots?" she shook her head and he moved away letting a mortified Mikan finally enter the closet and get dress.

By the time Mikan had gotten dressed and gotten the nerve to step out of her closet it was 2:00, and her stomach was growling. She step out to find Natsume staring lazily out the window from her bed, he was dressed and his hair was wet from a shower. How in the world did he do all that in the fifteen, maybe twenty minutes she was in the closet? He look her over, she wore a white tennis skirt and pink off the shoulder sweater with a black tank-top. He preferred the towel. She avoided his eyes.

"We missed lunch," she said, hoping that there incident may be forgotten.

"I never go anyways." Her stomach let out a growl saying that she did go. He just rolled his eyes and moved towards her, she step back, always cautious of Natsume. He scooped her up and before she could protest ran and jumped up onto his Balcony. His room was humongous and decked out and reds and blacks. There on the kitchen table sat a humongous breakfast. Ok, there was no way he could have done all of that in twenty minutes.

"How did you make all that so fast?!" she ask taking no time to go to the table and dig in.

"I didn't its from the cooking Alice girls in my fan group." Mikan stared at him from across the table as she ate, he was awful. He look around his room, and noticed how clean it was…..he hadn't been on a mission in days. As if reading his thoughts he head, Kuro Neko, Persona wants you to report to him at seven tonight, meet in Northern forest. He hated that guy with the Mind Alice. This mission was bound to be rough to make up for his few days off.

"…..that's exactly why I'm going to start locking my balcony door,' Mikan finished, Natsume look up coming out of his trance.

"I won't be coming to your room anyway….I have a mission." She stop eating and looked at him.

"Again?" she hated Persona so much, she hated that Natsume had to go on missions, all of it was so stupid. He nodded, his eyes distant. Mikan knew he used to have to do mission for Aoi, his sister. But she was at home and safe now, Natsume had saved her! So why was he still doing the missions, what did he have to lose? "I don't think you should go.." he ignored her. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep a wink if Natsume was out. She'd be worried sick. She look at the food, she wasn't hungry anymore. "I'm not hungry anymore," she said standing up and going over to plop down in his king sized bed. "Why don't we go to central town?!" He glared at her, she sighed.

"What? We can still go to central town you know, without looking like a…. I always use to make you go with me! Pwlease?!" she pouted.

"Whatever." she jumped up and ran towards the door.

"The bus leaves in ten minutes lets go!" she ran out the door ,he followed.

"There's one box left, but it's the twenty rabbit one, sorry." Mikan stared at the owner of the fluff puff store and pouted, she only had ten rabbits! How unfair life could be.

"I want that box," a voice said from behind her and a ten rabbit coin flew over her head to the cashier palm. NO! Her precious fluff puffs. She whined and turned around only to see Natsume grabbing the fluff puff box. She smiled.

"Ya Natsume!" she cheered. He glared at her.

"Who says I'm sharing?" she pouted again and sulked after him.

"But you don't even like fluff puffs!" she whined.

"Who said I don't?" she frowned, will…nobody. She just always assumed he wouldn't like fluff puffs.

"But don't you want to share?" he pick up his pace.

"Nope." she whined.

"But that box is bigger then the ten rabbit one and I always share with you!!!" he shrugged and finally made it to his favorite Sakura tree. He sat down and pulled out a manga while stuffing a fluff puff in his mouth. Mikan whined from her side of the tree.

"Your lucky I'm not hungry," he said shoving the box in her lap. She smiled.

"Thank you Natsume!" she hummed to herself as she ate the fluff puffs. They got their usual stares, people staring at him because he was the Kuro Neko, staring at her because she was brave enough to sit that close to him. She laid her head against the tree and look at the bright sky, today was a perfect day. She closed her eyes and thought about the first time her and Natsume had let there mask drop.

Flashback:

She was fifteen and sitting in her bed, she couldn't sleep. It seemed she never slept anymore, she was always worried about something. Hotaru, school, Natsume, Natsume, Natsume…..he was always on those darn missions and skipped class so she hardly ever saw him. And from what Ruka told her his condition was worsening. She rolled over in her bed and tried to sleep, nothing helped.

"Oi Polka dots, you awake?" Mikan shot up and bed and turns towards her balcony, Natsume. He was coming towards her wearing nothing but boxers.

"N-Natsume! What are you doing?" she ask, he just ignored her and climbed in bed. She stiffened. "Hey! What are you doing you pervert!" he just closed his eyes and appeared to be sleeping. She started to shake him. "I said what do you think your doing you can't just---" his eyes snapped open and he turned the positions so he was holding her down. His eyes glowed red.

"I'm trying to kiss you, now shut up." then he pressed his lips against hers. Her eyes widened and she stared at him, he was kissing her. She blink before realizing she was kissing her back! Stop! She commanded her body. Only her body had different motives and her mouth slipped open allowing his tongue. Her mind finally told her to shut up and she closed her eyes, enjoying his company. When they finally broke down and stared at each other the first words she said were,

"Can I go to sleep now?" he smirked laid down beside her.

"Goodnight Polka dots." he was surprised when she wrapped her arms around him and drifted to sleep. The next day they ask like nothing happened, and that's how it went. They let there mask go at night and in the day light they ask like their mask had never been off.

End of flashback

Night

Mikan stared out the window letting her mind take control of her, maybe he died? Maybe right now he was up in his room already back from his mission not even bothering to come tell her! Maybe she would die from worrying to much. She though of her cracked mask and how ever since she dropped it how her true self seemed to be leaking from it, she knew she didn't have much time before her mask was gone. She just hoped Natsume didn't notice how bad the damage was. She sighed and rolled over in her bed…..Natsume, say safe….
