They walked back to the dormitory, Mikan holding Natsume's hand ( she really didn't want to let go, it was a nice moment) and Natsume holding her hand while carrying little Youichi.

Indeed, it was a very, very memorable day.

Chapter 8 - Tsubasa Confesses

RRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Mikan's P.O.V.

Yawn… I looked at the clock… 8:00…

I'm late! Oh no! Wah!

End of Mikan's P.O.V.

Sigh, after a very wonderful day yesterday, Mikan forgot that she has to go to school and practically slept in.

"Talk about acting your age…" Tsubasa said as he was leaning at the door, making the panicking Mikan surprised

"Tsubasa-sem- I mean, Tsubasa-kun! What are you doing here? Don't we have class today?" she said while she hurriedly got her school uniform and went in the bathroom to change

Tsubasa sighed as he went near the door of the bathroom (so that Mikan could hear what he was saying, nothing more than that) and resumed what he was saying

"Mikan, we don't have classes today, everyone's eating breakfast downstairs, and no one came to wake you up because they said you might be tired from what you did yesterday…"

"What!" Mikan said as she went out of the bathroom still in her pajamas, sighing heavily as she got casual clothes from her closet, putting back her uniform then went back to the bathroom.

After 3-5 minutes, she came out all dressed up, Tsubasa blushed seeing a very pretty Mikan before him, who was wearing a slightly fitted yellow short-sleeved dress that reached just below her knees, it had white Chinese flower prints designed near the hem. She wore white sandals and her hazel colored hair was styled in chopsticks that made her look very oriental. She was wearing a light blush-on on her cheeks, she was also wearing a cherry-pink lip gloss that even made her more pretty, even if her face looked somewhat fussed at what Tsubasa said

"G-gorgeous…" Tsubasa whispered, now wide-eyed

"Tsubasa-kun, what did you say?" Mikan said reassuring what she had just heard was not really what he said

"I-i said you look very pretty Mikan" he said partly regretting that he had opened his big mouth

"A-arigato" Mikan said bowing down casually, embarrassed at his words (She hasn't get used to it)

"C-come on Mikan, let's take a walk outside, or do you want to have breakfast first?" He said smiling as he took Mikan's hand

"I think breakfast would sound great, I bet everyone's still there, then let's take a stroll outside" Mikan said as she smiled another one of her terrific smiles

"Okay" Tsubasa said as he and Mikan walked to the door, they went to the cafeteria and got food, then walked around finding a place to seat, Mikan saw Hotaru and the gang not so far from them, Tsubasa and Mikan walked casually to them, Mikan not bothering to shout out Hotaru's name, acting 15 and all…

"Ohayou Minna-san!" Mikan greeted calmly to her friends

"Ohayou Mikan!" Yuu said in a cheery voice

"Ohayou Mikan-chan!" Anna said cheerfully

"Did you have a nice sleep?" Nonoko said smiling

"Mikan, sit down and eat you food" Hotaru said nonchalantly

"Hai" Mikan said as she and Tsubasa sat down, Natsume and Ruka was right in front of them, and may I add, Natsume was starting to heat up seeing Tsubasa with Mikan

"Ohayou Ruka! Ohayou Natsume-kun!" Mikan said as she smiled at the two

"Ohayou Mikan, why are you with him?" Ruka said a little nervous, he was starting to sweat because of the very hot aura beside him

"Oh, Tsubasa was at the door of my bedroom when I woke up" Mikan said as she took a bite of her toast

This made the temperature even hotter. The students who were previously enjoying their meals where now sweating, checking if the A/C was functioning properly.

"M-mikan, you done with your meal?" Tsubasa said sweating profusely,

"Hai Tsubasa, I just finished, you said you wanted to--"

"Yes, take a stroll outside, let's go" Tsubasa said as his mouth twitched 'for all the alices why did you have to have fire?' He grabbed Mikan's hand and walked to the Northern Forest,

"I'm going outside" Natsume said, still heated up, everybody looked at him, when he was out of the room, everybody was relieved, Yuu, Anna, Nonoko and Ruka sighed with great relief.

Hotaru was using Invention 06C (Why not put letters in her invention names? Hm? That would surely make a start of something new!) it was two pairs of small mechanical love birds that circled around her, using their small but very swift wings to fan her from the heat that Natsume was giving in a while ago.

"Why did you suddenly want to take a stroll with me Tsubasa-kun?" Mikan said as they walked by the riverbank in the Northern Forest.

"You see Mikan…" Tsubasa said as he bent down and sat on the grass near the riverbank, Mikan followed the gesture, but first placed a cloth underneath so that her dress wouldn't get dirty

"What is it?"

Tsubasa was staring at the river not looking at the girl beside her, "You see Mikan, I haven't felt this at first, but as the days go by, I realize that my feelings get deeper. I didn't mean to but you see Mikan,…I-I…"

Tsubasa now looked straight at Mikan's wonderful brown orbs,

"Mikan, I'm deeply in love with you…"
