It Was Me All Along
Chapter 2: You Misunderstood! I love YOU!
"Hey Tsubasa, why did you call me all of a sudden?"
"Why? Am I interrupting something important?" Tsubasa said with a knowing smile.
"Why N-no!" Mikan said while she blushed uncontrollably "You kinda saved me from confessing who I like to Natsume"
"Oh"
Tsubasa and Mikan was seating on the tea table where they usually hangout. Meanwhile, Natsume was looking at them hiding behind some bushes. He was REALLY mad…
"Damn that Andou! Why does he have to show up? Someday I'm gonna-"
"Anyway Mikan, I've got something to tell you…"
"What is it?"
"You see… Mikan… I'm … I'm in love with-"
Suddenly, Natsume jumped out of the bushes hugging the startled Mikan just as Tsubasa was finishing his lines., obviously grinning at the other boy's actions towards Mikan .
"—Misaki."
"Natsume!" Mikan was really shocked by Natsume's awkward actions. Natsume, on the other hand was relieved at hearing that Tsubasa has in love with--- Misaki…
"Oh no! Damn myself for coming up with conclusions"
"Natsume, w-what are you doing?"
Tsubasa smirked "Probably jealous" Natsume shot a glance at Tsubasa
"Jealous?" Mikan said curiously, "Jealous because Tsubasa-sempai likes Misaki too?"
Tsubasa sweatdropped. "No, I think he taught that I was gonna say I was in love with you, Don't worry Natsume, ( Natsume couldn't utter a single word) I treat Mikan as a little sister, that's all"
"Natsume…" Mikan could feel tears coming up her eyes, Natsume was still hugging her.
"What to do! What to do!" "What if she rejects me!" "What if she hates me! Wait she already hates me!" "But, but I love her!"
Natsume held Mikan tighter for about five seconds and then let go, by now he saw Mikan's tears, faced-to-face with him, Natsume looked away.
"What if she rejects me?" was all he can think of.
Mikan was still crying. "I thought you hated me!" Natsume was now wide-eyed
"I never hated you…" was all Natsume said
"Do you love me? " Mikan said tears falling from her eyes. Mikan same as Natsume, was afraid of rejection, she had loved him for five years now, but had a hard time confessing, she kept it to herself.
"Yeah"
"Why didn't you tell me"
"Afraid… of… rejection…"
"I… I loved you for five years… and… same as you…, but why each one of us didn't told the other."
Natsume was surprised to hear the brown-eyed brunette say that she also loved him.
He hugged her, now sure of what he was doing, Mikan hugged back. At the same time, they said once again,
"I love you!"
"I love you!"
Both laughed…
"All this time I taught you were in love with Ruka or that…. That Andou… It was me all along, it was me all along that you lov-"
Mikan silenced him with a kiss. "Jealous… eh…that's so like you…" she said in between kisses.
"Yeah… It was me all along…polka dots" Natsume smiled.
"Hey! Pervert! I hate you! Ruining the romance! I hate you I hate you I hate-"
Natsume kissed her swiftly in the lips…
"You hate me?"
"Yeah I love you!"
They both laughed.

"Guess it worked."
"You did good Tsubasa-kun!"
"It wasn't all just a plan you know Misaki, I'm really in love with you."
"I know…"
"It was a successful plan, now I am gonna be rich with this video…"
"Hotaru!" Misaki and Tsubasa whispered together.
Hotaru gave the thumbs up, while the two sweatdropped.
