Side Story: Special Lesson

"It's almost the end of my lesson. You manages to remember the Hyuuga Corp's partner and subsidiary companies. Now, it's an extra lesson. Do you know how to kiss politely in front of the crowd?"

The brunette fell silent by the sudden attack.

"I assume you don't know" and she nods shyly "Then, let's practice with this doll" and she takes out a male mannequin.

"B-but I never kissed"

Now it's the teacher turns to be dumbfounded "How old are you again?"

"Sixteen."

"Right.."

A couple minute of silence until Hotaru talks "Now I'll teach you the basic. Watch me carefully" She draws her lips toward the doll. Once their lips touching, she parts her lips and tilts her head. Another seconds, she sheers off.

Like a romance drama, she thought.

"Now try it" she gives her the doll.

She gulps first then try her best to copy what Hotaru has done, but seems the fortune goddess is not by her side today.

The short haired teacher sighs "That's enough for the lesson today. I hope you'll do better tomorrow. Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Miss." She replies lamely

"You should practice it with that Hyuuga boy. He mastered it."

|Hotaruyuzuka|

Because of her teacher's last words, she's now at Natsume Hyuuga's bedroom. Begging.

"Pleasee?"

"Are you a pervert? I say NO."

"I'll treat you"

"I'm not poor"

"So what should I do to make you say yes?"

He massages his forehead "I'll keep saying no."

"At least watch my practice. Oh, come on, Natsume. Hotaru will be mad at me if I can't mastered the kiss"

"That's the whole problem. Is there even a kissing lesson?"

"I don't know. Ask the teacher!" she's yelling in annoyance.

"..." he stares at her for a moment "Fine. But only looking at your practice."

"Yosh!"

|Hotaruyuzuka|

"Is it the right way to do it?" she asks her new teacher while looking at the mannequin.

"Hn." Hearing his respond, she tries to remember how Hotaru did it and continue. In the other side, the boy doesn't respond much because he tries his best to control his right mind from approaching the amateur in front of him and show her the right way to do the kiss.

"Was that even right?" she asks herself, full of confusion. The boy gulps several times, despite the fact that his lips drying. It's like he press the auto-replay button. The way her lips touched the mannequin softly, then parted, and ended with tilted her head keeps replaying in front of him.

"Natsume, am I doing it right?" his eyes snaps widened.

For a few seconds, he calms himself down before answering her "No, you don't" he blurt out.

"What? But I've tried my best. I can't help it, I never kissed before."

"You never what?"

"I never kissed"

He mentally slaps his forehead and let out a big sigh "I guess I have no other choice. I'll help you out with it."

"Really? How kind of you, Master Natsume!"

"But I don't kiss a doll."

For a second she analyzes his words. At first, she wanted to yell at him by calling him pervert, but reconsider her tomorrow lesson, she doesn't have anymore choice.

"Okay then, how do you want me to do it?"

His eyes widened. Doesn't she have any objection? Then he remembers Hotaru's characteristic. I guess she doesn't have any choice either, huh?

"Come here" he is motioning his hand for her to come near him.

"Lay on top of me"

Her eyes widened with his order "Are you crazy?"

"Do you want to get through Hotaru's next lesson or not?"

"..." with no objection she lays herself on top of his lie down body. There's only her palms that supporting her.

"Now do the thing you did to that doll."

She silently draws her face near him, making him hardly breathe.

She suddenly stops her movement "I can't."

"Why?" he tries not to sound disappointed.

"You breathe, the doll doesn't."

He sighs in relieve. He thought she doesn't want to kiss him. Why am I suddenly thinking like this?

"Fine. I'll try my best not to breathe. Happy?"

She chuckles which he finds it cute "Don't die, okay?"

Then he lies back as she repeats her previous movement. He doesn't know why his heart pumps faster everytime she moves. He's already kissed numerous women out there before, even so, her eyes can make him lost successfully. He tries to breathe fewer. As a result, everything in his sight seems blur, except her. Her hazel orbs look at him in confusion, yet, so innocent. Her lips still closed and the distance between them gets closer.

When her lips touches his, the world seems spinning for him. When she tries several time to part his lips, he couldn't explain the feeling. It's weird, yet, so addictive if it's her who did it. The last thing is for her to tilt her head against his and it's all end when she let go of him.

"How is it?" she looks at him nervously.

He stunned before manage to flip her below him and answer her question "You failed. That's not the way to kiss a boy."

"But I imagine myself as the boy. You are the girl." She replies without guilty.

He mentally slaps his forehead again. How many times will he do that because of her? "You dumbass! You are a girl for God's sake, Polka!"

"But I—"

"Now, imagine you are a girl."

"I don't know if I could"

"Just do it!"

She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath then releases before opening her eyes slowly. Their eyes meet. She looks at those appealing crimson eyes. It's like he can look straight to your soul. Subconsciosly, she drift her sight away from him.

"You blush" he smirks in amusement.

"Y-your sight is scary."

"Oh, is it?" he touches her jaw so she'll facing him back. She gulps by his action. It's the first time she's so scared of a man. Is it a scared feeling?

Her breath shortened when their lips touching. She forgets to breathe whenever his hand caressing her face. She gasps when his thumb and index finger pinches her ear and that's a big chance for him to roam her mouth. He doesn't plan to teach her in the first place, just joking, but her attitude and sweetness make him forget his first plan. Now he even uses his tongue and force it inside her tangerine cavern, that's how it tastes according to him. Is it because of her name? Don't know, don't care.

Her mouth spreads wider for air but he doesn't give a chance for her to do so. Her eyes shut hard, her fists grip his clothes tight, her cheeks redden. In another word, she's breathless. Realizing her short breath, he pulls away. Leaving her like a fish thrown to theland.

"Th-that's not a kiss. You're killing me" the girl says between panting. Thank goodness she can remember it, or else, she'll repeat that so-called kiss. Killing kiss, that is.

"That's a kiss indeed" he smirks.

|Hotaruyuzuka|

Today she shows Hotaru the way Natsume do the kiss. The teacher let out a big sigh when she finished.

"Tell him to teach you how to kiss, not make out or I'll blackmail him."

From her expression, little Mikan doesn't dare to ask her what the heck make out mean. She guesses she needs Natsume longer as her new teacher.
