TPTP Ch. 10

Mikan

"Ahahaha, Natsume, hurry up!" I squealed, getting out of the sudden rain. Natsume ran in behind me, his hair dripping wet.

"You took to long!" I laughed. He playfully glared at me, and grabbed my waist and twirled me around.

"Because you pushed me out of the way!"

We laughed and than everything just stopped, like in the movies. We were just laughing, and now we were looking into each other eyes, both my hands on his chest, and both of us breathing heavy from running out of the sudden rain. Natsume bent his head lower to me, again, and instead of kissing my lips, he kissed my neck.

"Natsume." I whispered.

"Yes?" Still working that kiss, I had to say it now, before his kiss got me all dizzy and distracted, which it was already doing.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Do you want me to be mean to you?" No of course I didn't, but people can't change without a reason.

"No, but when we were younger, you were so mean to me."

"That was in the past." He whispered against my ear.

"So, what changed?" My voice was started to lose it's strength, I already knew the answer.

"You. Me. We all changed."

I pushed him back.

"No. I was the only one that changed. You are still the same Natsume that only look at looks. You are still the same rude and utterly mean Natsume. After you rejected me those 13 years ago, I left to America, you know what I did? I thought if I changed how I look you would love me, no. You love how I look, not me, if I was still the same little Mikan, you wouldn't even looked at me twice, I'm not stupid, I know Ruka doesn't want me near you, I see it in his eyes, I actually look at people for how they are, not how they look. You are incredibly hot, but mean and rude, and a jack ass. A little girl worrying about how she looks, people like you ruin this society, and I was hoping you changed, for the better, but you are the same as you were 13 years ago, this time just more perverted. Life is about love and loving others, you only love yourself. So get over yourself, and learn how looks are not everything, because the more you act like this, the more is pisses me off. So fuck off Natsume, go drink, than fuck a girl, than get aids or something, from what I seen you are not going to change, and I'm obviously wasting my time." I said in one breath, I took a deep breath, than walked out, where it finished raining. I looked at the bright sun, I smiled to myself, glad I got that off my chest. Being a model, I seen some drastic things people do to be skinny, and honestly it wasn't worth it. We need more curvy and fuller people, skin and bones isn't the only pretty thing out there, just to prove that point, I went to grab a hot dog, a bunch of candy and a chocolate shake, before I started to head home, realizing Natsume had all my things in my bag, and he was my ride, I started sulking on my way back.

Hotaru

"Wow the rain just came out of nowhere. Do you think Mikan and Natsume will be okay?" Ruka asked, looking out the window. I sat in the kitchen dining table, a small little one, watching him. He turned around to look at me when I didn't reply; I quickly, but not to quickly, got up and turned to the back door.

"They will be fine." I walked to the fridge and opened it up.

"Why?"

I turned around and saw he was right behind me.

"Why what?"

"Why do you always leave? When I'm talking you walk away. Never stay and get to know me."

I bite my lip. I didn't stay and talk to him because I was nervous, I like him, for a long time. Mikan didn't know though, but I liked him as long as she liked Natsume, though she won't admit she likes him.

"I want food." I lied, weakly.

"You just ate. You don't talk to me, even when we were younger, talk to me." As he said this, he stepped closer and closer to me. I swallowed, but held my ground.

"What is there to talk about?" I cringed when my voice came out so cold. Ruka didn't flinch though.

"A lot." He grabbed my hand, and laced our fingers together, his eyes not once leaving mines.

"I don't think there is." My eyes just couldn't leave his.

"There's a lot to talk about, like us." He whispered.

"What about us?"

Ruka leaned his head down. I felt my heart beat speeding up. Than the front door slammed shut. Ruka and I jumped apart, and Mikan stormed by, stomped upstairs, and slammed her door shut with a loud bang.

"Mikan?" Ruka called. Ruka peeked back at me.

"We can finish talking later?" It came out as a question. Screw it, I walked over to him and wrapped my arm around him.

"Or finish it now." I whispered, and Ruka smiled. We heard Natsume's car arrive back so this time we had time to make ourselves look less suspicious, but before that Ruka bent down and kissed my cheek real quick before he turned and walked out of the room. I knew my face would be bright red, so I picked up the newspaper sitting nearby and sat down. Natsume stormed in too.

"Where is Mikan?" He demanded. I stood up.

"Why? What did you do to her?" I demanded as well, using the same tone as he was. Ruka walked in.

"What is going on in here?" He looked at us. When he looked at me I felt my heart beat even faster. So I did what I do best when I'm like this, get mad.

"I don't know, this red eye freak didn't tell me."

"Red eye freak? You have purple eyes, that's not normal either." He spat back, making me want to smile, he gets so mad and distracted easily, it was comical.

"Why is Mikan mad?" Ruka growled.

"I don't know, she just got mad out of nowhere." Natsume said, scratching the back of his head and looking on the floor.

"You did something!" I hissed, I felt as if my eyes were wide with realization and shock, but I knew I just looked piss.

"I did no…yes I did something, she's mad at me, help me." Before I could even react Ruka stepped forward.

"Why?"

"Because I made her mad at me, and I need to fix it."

I just looked at Natsume's face.

"Are you just going to screw her over?" Ruka asked in a low voice.

"No."

"Do you like Mikan?" Ruka finally asked. Natsume looked at Ruka, and looking at the two guys, for once they looked the same. Not physically of course, Ruka had blonde hair, and blue eyes, with a pale face, and had a cuter look. Natsume had raven black hair, red eyes, and had badass written all over him, but they both had the same look in their eye.

Mikan

I was sitting in my room, blow drying my hair. Natsume I swear. Something hit my balcony door. I went over and opened it up, as another one flew towards me, almost hitting me; I bent down and picked it up. Natsume stood down there in a suit smiling at me.

"Mikan." He called. I raised my arm, and threw the rock at him, hitting his head.

"Yes?" I smiled, sarcastically, than frowned back at him.

"I'm sorry, let me make it up to you."

"No." I said, flatly. Natsume seemed to be taking back at the fact I said no, than I had to crack a freaking smile.

"Fine. How?" Natsume smiled back at me.

"Come down here!" I ran downstairs, and saw that Ruka and Hotaru was nowhere to be seen, something I noted. I looked at Natsume who was now holding flowers. I crossed my arms and blankly looked at him, looking incredibly hot in a suit, I was still mad at him, everything I said was not a lie.

"I want to say sorry." He offered a small smile.

"Say it than."

"Sorry, and what you said was true, so here I am, trying to change, with the help of you?" He looked so weak, and…true…

I sighed, and rolled my eyes.

"Fine,
I'll help you, what is the agenda than?"

"Umm…I spent most of the time trying to find a suit…"

"Seriously? You made it seem as if you had something planned…you do have something planned don't you?" I gave a small smile, looking at the big grin that was on his face.

"Ok so what is planned?"

"Well we're going to have a romantic evening, and its just going to be about you." He held out a hand for me.

I woke up the next morning, surprisingly alone, guess Natsume did hear what I said. I sighed, last night was simply amazing, I talked, he listened, I had fun, while this Natsume was totally sweet and nice, well I like the badass Natsume more, but I'll soak up this nice Natsume first before I'll tell him.

"Mikan, are you awake?" I heard him say, knocking on my door, polite, nice.

"Yes sir."

"Come down for breakfast."

I nodded, getting up, before I realized he couldn't see me.

"Sure." I called, rushing to brush my teeth, food, yummy!

When I came downstairs, and into the kitchen and it was simply filled with delicious sent. Natsume stood in the middle, grinning, grabbed my hand and led me to my seat. Seeing him like this was starting to make me feel a little uncomfortable. He placed a plate of the best looking pancakes ever, with strawberry on top of the whip cream.

"Natsume, I love all of this, but let's keep it real. You are not like this. Be yourself."

"I'm rude though." There was a dangerous sparkle in his eye as he smirked. I smirked right back.

"That's what you are playing at."

"I don't know what you mean." He said, leaning forward, his voice in that low and dangerous tone that I love.

I threw back my head as I laughed, looking back at him, I said;

"Go change, we're going out."

We both got up at the same time, and I saw a challenge in his eyes, so I pushed him down and ran upstairs, laughing as he swore and ran after me. He tackled me onto my bed, and we were bursting out laughing as I pushed him off me.

"Go change loser." I laughed.

"Help me." He said, suggestively.

"No, get out." I smiled, this is who I fell for, not mister awkwardly nice, nice boys remind me of Ruka to much, speaking of which where is Ruka and Hotaru at?

A/N: Is this one short too? I don't know really, ok so this chapter was kind of boring, I had all the ideas down but I don't know, I didn't like how Natsume was turning out, I like bad boy Natsume more ahaha, yeah so it won't be as romantic as I thought I would since I totally changed the plot thingy last moment, so I'm back to winging it since plotting is boring for me. I guess it was kind of cute, I was planning on making it longer buuutttt my butt hurts from sitting down so much so a lot of short chapters where I love the ending or longer but less updated chapters? Up to you guys and girls, tell me an author's job is to get her point out but also value what the reader thinks and try to satisfy them, yeah and umm the speech Mikan had, I had no clue where I was going lol so yeah. I realize these characters are really yeah lol I kind of just threw random things together and I didn't really ok I didn't at all look back at it so if there's mistakes, point them out but I'm most likely won't change it. So you, dear precious readers, the best, ahaha review and I'll write. Kay peace.
