Ashy-note So short, so random, but I've always figured even Mikan would feel a little surprised at how Natsume fell for her.

Inspired by May Madness, might be updating sooner than half-expected. (: Sequel/Prequel to my other one shot, Sensible Senselessness.

Seven Questions


There's this one mystery that always bothered her, and up until now she still couldn't see what made her so damn special that he'd do anything and everything for her. Why was she the one who kept running away while he ran after her? What on bloody earth made him fall for her that hard?

So many other girls, much more who were actually beautiful, talented, smart.

Why her?

She's not even that pretty; she didn't even know if she knew the meaning of the word. It was past her reasoning as well when people told her she was beautiful; where did that put those beauty queens, then, if she was already hailed beautiful? No. She could not possibly be even half of the definition of the word because on the first place, she didn't even think she was beautiful. Wasn't it some sort of placebo thing? Like, when you think it is, it's true? Well, if it is, then she bloody well isn't beautiful at all.

And she isn't smart. No explanations needed, seeing as she's spent years and years contemplating on the fact that she abhorredMath and could never ever find a way to like Math no matter what. Sure, she was a consistent A-student lately, but that's only because of her hard work.

Uh, gosh, this is insane.

Maybe. Or maybe she knew she was just too shallow to see things beyond what the eye can conceive.

But she still didn't get it; how could anyone love her? Most of all, how could he love her?

Oh.

Too much thinking is making her head explode already.

Maybe she'll just let it be. For now, it was such a nice thing to know she has him.

After all, what difference could those reasons do?

She just smiled the questions away and drifted into a peaceful sleep of fluff puffs, smiling Hotarus, and of course, him.


Haha! Disappointed, weren't you? :D I know it's short and rather pointless, but hey, it was worth writing it anyway. (:
