Don't Hide From Reality; One Love Part 2

Nine years have passed by. Natsume and the others are 25 years old and they all have a job. But someone doesn't want to tell his profession to anyone. Why? And what will happen if he did so?

Last time:

Ruka's POV

Right now I am telling her what I am feeling.

"What are you bothered about." I sighed. "Are we going steady right now?" I asked

"What do you mean? What does going steady means?" she asked very confused

I really don't know how to answer her.

"Going-" I was cutted by a voice that is very familiar to me. "Going steady means going out. Dating."

It was him… Natsume.

Mikan's POV

I turned around to see the person I expected. The person whom I loved so much. But now, all my feelings for Ruka suddenly went down the drains. All of it. It was all about Natsume again. After all, they say that first love never dies.

"Natsume" I said and I am happy. I stood up and look at him. Even if I am not smiling I am happy.

"Mikan" he replied… he called me by my name. Then he looked at Ruka. And said "Care to talk?"

"Maybe at our house later." Ruka replied. While standing up. "Let's go." Inviting Natsume and me. "You go ahead. I'll follow." Ruka looked at him, then he walked away. I followed Ruka then looked back. There I saw the most arrogant person in the world. Standing with his hand on his pocket. Then I ran to Ruka.

Natsume's POV

I shooed her away though I really don't like to. I've hurt her so many time but now, after hearing what she feels for my best friend, I feel sad. I feel so alone. I feel so emo… (emotional for those who don't know what emo means… p.s. IM NOT EMO!!!)

After awhile I rode into my car and drove away going to Ruka's place.

Ruka's POV

We are now driving back to our house. I tried asking Mikan about our situation. "Are we going out or something?" "Not now Ruka… I don't think I can go out with you yet." She said and I know that it's not suppose to be her answer awhile ago. She just saw Natsume which made her change her feelings for me.

"Just don't get my hopes up." I said and she replied "Don't hope." This statement made me sad but I know that she just doesn't wanna hurt someone.

I found her waiting for me at our house's entrance.

"What?" I asked her. "Just want to say thanks and good night. I know that you two are gonna have a lot of catching up to do so might as well get out of your way. See you tomorrow." She said

"Good night and thanks for everything. See you tomorrow too." I replied. She smiled at me then walked to her room. I sat down at the sofa and waited for Natsume. After 15 minutes, the doorbell rang. I got up and opened the door.

"Come on in and take a sit." I said. Then I took a sit opposite to him. "What happened?" I asked.

"I quitted my job." He replied. I was shocked. I thought he said he's not allowed to quit. "I thought that you're not allowed to quit." I asked. He just looked away.

"Now that you're free, do you like to take her back?" I asked looking straight into his eyes. He also looked back. "Yes, I do. But you like her too."

"Yeah but she likes you. She's not as happy and jolly as she used to be when she was with you. I don't like to have her but she's miserable. The reason that I liked her because she's always happy and I know that it is your reason too."

"Does she still like me back?" he asked.

"She is still thinking of you." I replied.

"I don't know what to say to her." Natsume replied.

"Explain the reason. Tell her that you left her because you were afraid that your enemies might capture her because she's you weakness." I said. I feel like I am a martyr.

Suddenly, we heard glass shattering upstairs. We quickly got up and see what's happening. And what we saw is a Mikan picking up pieces of a used-to-be porcelain vase.

Narrator's POV o

"Polka… you were listening weren't you?" Natsume asked.

"I'd better leave you two alone." Ruka said and going downstairs.

"No I'm not! I just happen to pass by because I went to the washroom when I accidentally hit this vase." Mikan said.

"Really? Prove it."

"I-I-I… just brushed my teeth!"

"Really may I see?" Natsume said then he kissed her.

Mikan was really shocked. Her eyes grew very big. But after awhile she closed it. After a few minutes, Natsume let go.

"You really did brush your teeth."

"I told you! But I happen to hear a few fragments." She said.

"I love you, still." Natsume said.

"Yeah, me too." Mikan replied.

"Will you still marry me?"

"Yeah."

After a few months they got married. End.

Im sooo sorry if the story is so ugly. I am planning to create another fanfic but not drama. I'll try to create a funny one. But dunno if I can make you people laugh. I'll just try my best. I really am sorry for what became of my story. Pls. do send me your reactions towards the plot. I do hope you liked it or appreciated it.

With all my gratitude,
