COME BACK TO ME

"Jealousy reminds me you love me."

"I'm really sorry for what had happened earlier!"

He was surprised when an orange haired head was leveled with his abdomen in a bow before him.

He was still holding the empty bucket with his left hand and was still soaking wet and dirty. Feeling a little ashamed, Yuki quickly emptied his hands and pulled Kyo's head up in its regular position. "No! You don't have to apologize like that!" he said in a shaking voice as he blushed heavily.

Startled by what the purple haired boy of his age did, Kyo straightened his back and took the pail. "I'll help you with the ladies' room then."

"But wai-!"

He vanished at the door without even waiting for Yuki's reply.

-

Pouring some acid carefully, down the bowl, Yuki quickly pinched his nose to avoid its fume from entering his nose, "Why'd I have to clean this one when it's hardly been used?" Yuki thought. Still pinching his nose, he reached out for the small brush and quickly scrubbed the surface, his sweat drying his back in the process. He's so silent at work.

"What you said earlier..."

Yuki looked up from his work.

Sighing, Kyo dropped his sponge and sat on the toilet bowl, leaning along the wall at his right towards Yuki's direction.

"What about it?" Yuki asked, glancing at the wall towards Kyo's direction.

Kyo played with the sponge with plain eyes, "...did someone tell you of it or you just made it up?"

Yuki's brows furrowed. "Which one-"

"About the thing on not relying on their first impressions," Kyo said with a mixture of impatience, eagerness and wonder in his voice.

Yuki smiled and resumed to his work.

The cat-faced stood up and awaited for Yuki's reply.

"Yuki?" Kyo asked after some time.

"My grandpa told me," the pale-faced boy replied, "... not to judge a book by its cover."

Kyo sat still, paying attention to his words.

"The thing on first impressions.... I thought of just by myself."

There was something strange on the way Kyo talked to her that moment. The hot-headed personality he saw the first time he saw him was kind of different compared to now. Being on his place at that moment, Yuki felt he was sitting, having a conversation with a kid.

"Oh." he heard him murmur at the other side of the wall.

End of flashback-

Mikan emerged from the bubbles and sighed, her head falling back at the cool side of the tub. "Maybe he really woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning," she told herself with closed eyes.

"Who?"

The little brunette flinched at the cool and windy voice she heard just above her forehead.

"Natsume!" escaped from her lips as the creamy face of the raven-haired boy came to her view after she drew up her lids.

"Boo," he whispered, his warm breath brushing her wet bangs.

Wet bangs.

"Wh-What are you doing in here?!!!" she yelled together with the reflex of crouching down the bath tub, drowning her body down the soap bubbles, "Get out!"

Her intense screaming sent the pigeons to flee from the window but still, it never made any of the black cat's muscles move in retreat. Instead, he glanced away from her and leaned his back at the tub, sitting on the floor. "You look cute when you blush like that."

Her face grew even redder, "I think you're not supposed to be there!"

The black cat glanced at her at his shoulder and sighed, standing up, "Alright. You asked for it."

At first Mikan was quite relieved with his words, but what he did next sent her eyes to almost pop out and her body to squirm in panic when he stood up, took off his shirt and dipped himself at the other side of the tub, facing her!

"Na-Natsume! What the hell are you doing?!" she hollered with her face growing redder and hotter every minute.

"Don't worry I have more dry pants out there," he said nonchalantly, referring to his soaked pants, "This sure is a big bathroom for a small suite."

Mikan's eyes shot at her towel, hanging loosely from a wooden peg just about four meters away from the tub. Grandpa, she thought, close to tears as she never lost a second in crouching to hide herself.

Silence emerged between the two of them as Mikan rested her chin between her knees.

"That guy was weird," he broke it as he made ripples along the surface of the water.

"He's not that bad," Mikan suggested, following what he did.

Natsume glanced at her with a frown and she caught him right away, "I told you. We just talked. That's all, Natsume-"

"You shouldn't be alone with him," he told her looking straight in her eyes.

"I don't see anything wrong with it."

"You should see it."

"It was just coincidence, Natsume. And I..."

"I'm really sorry for what happened earlier!"

Mikan shook her head, "I was a boy! There's no malice!"

"You shouldn't be alone with him." Natsume repeated the line, his face consistent all throughout.

"But why?! I don't see anything wrong!"

"Just don't let yourself be alone with him."

"But he's not bad!"

"You shouldn't trust him."

"But why?!"

"BECAUSE I'M JEALOUS!"

The water splashed at his final words but Mikan didn't notice who the cause of it was. All Mikan could remember was that goose bumps crawled all over her integumentary system as her heart thumped fast at the moment he spoke the words that surprised her.

And when her vision cleared, she saw her towel leveled three inches closing in on her face and soon she felt it wrap around her as Natsume lifted her up in a tight embrace.

Everything went too swiftly...

and for a moment, Mikan lost her senses.

She was all wet and all naked. She was supposed to be shaking with the evening breeze brushing in freely inside the open window, flooding and cooling the room.

She was dripping down to her toes... yet she felt...

warm...

Mikan opened her eyes.

Badump!

She heard his heartbeat at her ear as his arms tightened gently around her and... she realized what was happening. Natsume had been hugging her silently all this time (Maybe lifting her to that extent that she couldn't feel the floor of the tub at all.).

The thought of going wild and pushing him away crossed her mind, but the little brunette ignored it. She didn't care. And at that moment, the irregular heartbeat she had been having since this morning suddenly vanished as it went beating steady and warmly now.

-

"Please say something."

Silence. Steady breathing.

"BECAUSE I'M JEALOUS..."

"Please say it again, " Mikan whispered as she rested her head shyly along his chest.

Slowly, Natsume draped the cloth around her as he gently tied it and made her hold onto the bind. "Hold it tight no matter what."

"What? But Natsff-"

He had planted a gentle kiss at the side of her lips, making her wince.

"Natsume?"

His eyes were a bit shady, but she knew he was in his right mind, "Just hold onto it."

"Bu-"

At this point he had closed in on her and kissed her lightly once again as he lowered her to the outer wall of the tub to sit on the floor just beside it. Pushing her gently and making her lean against the cool material as he kissed her, Natsume nibbled lightly at her lower lip to ask for her permission.

Mikan blushed a thousand shades of red as Natsume reached and grasped the rim of the tub for balance as she felt his lips tenderly tickling her lower lip. She wanted so much to push him away, but the thing that bothered her chest won over her and she kissed him back, slowly and gently unlocking her lips for his entrance as she held on tightly at the tie of the towel around her.

Mikan. Natsume thought as he deepened the kiss and when he noticed her gasping in lack of air, he released her lips and rested his left cheek on hers as he still held on the tub. When she had recovered, he quickly crushed his lips back against hers, ignoring the surprise she made him notice.

He just couldn't get enough of her.

oxoxo

"Hey," Tsubasa said a little higher than a whisper, "Psst!"

Yuu noticed Tsubasa and pushed his chair nearer, "Yep?"

Tsubasa slowly turned his head at the end of the table acting like a cat on the look out for its owner before stealing fish and glanced back at the surprised Yuu, "You noticed anything wrong between those two?" He formed a pointing position with his lips towards Natsume and Mikan at the end of the table, who had both been strangely popping, chewing and swallowing food in synch like zombies.

Yuu shook his head sideways and glanced at Koko.

"I couldn't get in," Koko said, scratching his head. He was of course referring to his mind reading ability which was having disturbances at the moment, "Bad weather I think."

Yuu's and Tsubasa's eyes went plain anime-style as they thought how dumb it would be to say that excuse.

"Hey I'm not dumb!" Koko said defensively.

Ruka slowly wiped his mouth with the napkin and stood up from the table, without anyone noticing him except for his bunny which came hopping after him.

It was lunch time on their second day at their temporary job as the waiters, but there was no sign of the bartender, nor Kyo.

"How great of Mr. Ayame. He just came in, gave useless instructions... and left!" Tsubasa cracked, "No wonder he looks so young!"

Their branch seemed to be people less that day and work was not much of a problem, so, they enjoyed their lunch at the actual dining tables of the setting.

"Are you okay?" Natsume managed to whisper as he pretended to drink from his glass.

Mikan blushed and gave a small nod as she pecked carelessly on her sandwich. She failed to notice a little mayonnaise left at the bottom of her lower lip.

Natsume's eyes fell on it and after it rung a bell; he immediately blushed and looked away.

"There's mayo on your... lips."

Realizing it, the brunette quickly licked it in, not noticing Natsume's wildly burned face after what she just did.

"Mikan!"

Everyone was startled with the suddent shout as Ruka came in running inside the restaurant, "Your watch! Quick!" came Ruka's hurried voice.

Thanks to Ruka, Mikan managed to turn on her watch just in time when a gray haired man appeared in the entrance.
