Chaputa Futatsu: What is a Boyfriend
"Oi, baka youjo." He waited until she was looking at him then," Will you be my girlfriend?"
There was an extremely long silence as they stared at each other.
As Natsume stared into her light gold eyes, he got this awful feeling that she didn't understand what he mean, something she promptly confirmed with her next question.
"What does that mean?"
"It means that I will be your boyfriend." Natsume answered in thr most round-about way he could manage.
Please please don't make me explain what is a boyfriend to her.
Natsume prayed with all his heart (something he had never done before) to no one and anyone in particular.
He even sent a prayer to Jinno just in case.
She can't be as dense as that.
"Demo, what is a boy-friend?"
He could have cheerfully murdered her on the spot then.
He suddenly understood why Imai constantly use the baka gun on her 'best' friend when they converse. Or rather, when Mikan talks to her.
Now, he would dearly love to borrow the weapon from Imai, whom he was beginning to respect seeing that she had to deal with Mikan on a daily basis.
But then, Mikan was his only way out now. Without her help, he would die. Like immediately. Consumed by ranveous man-hunting creatures of the dark. Never to see the light again for eternity.
He gave a steely eyed glare to Mikan, who was looking at him expectantly.
It was downright embarrassing.
Absolutely mortifying for him to have to explain to someone he was asking to be his girlfriend what a boyfriend was.
"I will explain this only once."
Mikan nodded eagerly.
Natsume coughed again.
How mortifying.
He took a deep breath.
"Aboyfriendissomeonethatismorethanafriendtothepersonandtheyholdhandswhentheyaretogether." A boyfriend is someone that is more than a friend to the person and they hold hands when they are together.
This female and male thing was so not his forte.
"Um, like you and Ruka?"
"No." Natsume gritted out.
"And since when have you seen me holding hands with Ruka?" He drawled out sarcastically.
Her brows creased into a confused expression.
"They have to be of the opposite sex." He quickly said it before she could ask another idiotic question.
"Oh! You mean just like Hotaru and - "
"Yes." Natsume nearly sighed the word out in relief, cutting off Mikan from finishing what she was going to say.
She would never know that what he thought she was going to say was 'Ruka'.
And he would never know that what she was going to say was 'I'.
If he did, he would have cremated her on the spot.
Just when he thought he had nailed it, she asked him something he would never expect her to ask.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do you to be my boyfriend?" She elaborated, looking suspiciously at him.
The baka youjo was proving to be not as baka as she looked to be.
Because a voice in my head is telling me to if I don't want to die at such a young age.
"Because I-" Natsume was about to gave an excuse when-
"Ahhhh! There he is!"
"Natsume-kun!"
He turned to see a horrifying sight: the entire school's female population was almost upon them, valentine's day'sgifts galore in their hands as they waved it frantically at him.
Natsume cursed under his breath and quickly turned to the girl standing besides him.
"I promise never to set any part of you on fire again if you become my girlfriend." He got out quickly, all the while eyeing nervously the quickly approaching mob.
"Okay!" Mikan smiled.
"Baka." Natsume muttered under his breath.
If he had known this way would work, he would have done it long ago.
But now that he had succeeded, all he had to do was to put it in action.
He smiled.
He was finally free.
-----------------------------------------
Like a wildfire spreading, it was soon all over the school that the elusive Hyuuga Natsume, the one so widely coveted by girls in the entire academy, had finally asked someone to be his girlfriend.
That someone being the previously no star, clumsy Sakura Mikan.
Immediately, the nurse taking shifts in the sickbay noted a sharp rise in the number of unconscious female patients checking in.
Throughout the whole school, a notable bout of depression seemingly descended on the entire female population.
But none, I emphasize, none could compare to the reaction of one Shouda Sumire.
"Iiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
-----------------------------------------
Meanwhile...
Narumi-sensei was busy admiring the lovely weather outside while sipping a cappuccino from the faculty room when the furious war cry suddenly blasted throughout the whole school.
"Iiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!""
He did the only thing one would do in his shoes: he spat out the mouthful of cappuccino straight onto the face of poor, unsuspecting Jinno-sensei who was unfortunately passing by.
There was a moment of silence as the guilty and the unfortunate one stared at each other.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
"Na-ru-mi SENSEI!" The cappuccino covered Jinno-sensei roared out as electricity crackled around him.
"Hehe..at least it was cold?" Narumi-sensei answered not very intelligently as he smiled an apologetic smile at the irate man.
In the far distance, a volcano erupted.
"Ah! Gomenasai! Gomenasai!" Narumi-sensei cried out as he ran away, with tears streaming from his eyes, from the lightning cloud chasing him.
Serena-sensei, from the corner she was safely seated, raised a brow as she contemplated the visions the crystal ball was giving her.
"Well, Natsume finally made his move."
-----------------------------------------
In the far corner of the school, in the greenhouse, Misaki sensei was crouched next to a bonzai plant as he trimmed it carefully with the sharp gardening tool he held in his hands.
Slowly, he eased the tool into the midst where the offending branch was.
He had to be careful, any wrong move -
"Iiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!""
Snip.
A bundle of branches and leaves fell down onto the ground.
Misaki-sensei stared in growing horror at the humongous hole he had just created.
No.
Not my favorite bonzai plant.
"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Now that is what we call a scream.
-----------------------------------------
"Is it just me or has the school suddenly gotten noisier?" Mochu asked suddenly as ear-piercing screams suddenly seemed to fill the academy's air.
Ruka looked up from where he was seated with Hotaru and frowned.
Mochu was right.
"I wondered what has-" Ruka stopped as a girl suddenly burst past the open classroom door, wailing loudly.
"...happened." He finished off lamely.
"I never want to live again. Not now that Natsume has gotten a girlfriend." Koko recited out calmly, obviously reading the sobbing girl's thoughts.
Because of the way he said it, it took a few seconds for the class to understand the importance of what he had just said.
Together, in unison, they shouted out one single word," NANI?"
-----------------------------------------
Natsume was smiling inwardly as they proceeded down the now filled with wailing females of all ages, size and shapes to their classroom.
Freedom was sweet.
As they stepped into the classroom, everyone turned to look at him, and at the still oblivious Mikan curiously.
Apparently, the news had already reached here.
"Ohaiyo minnasan!" She called out cheerily.
The only answers were mumbles.
"Natsume-kun." Sumire sidled up at the moment and smiled sugary sweet at him.
Then her eyes traveled down to their joined hands.
To say she was angry was a master of an understatement.
Once again, in the distance, volcano Sumire erupted.
"Mikan SAKURA!" She bellowed, her eyes simply sparking wrath and headed for the terrified Mikan, who ran immediately away despite not knowing why exactly she was being chased.
Natsume simply raised a brow in amusement and went to his seat, where Ruka was.
Beside him, Ruka leaned over and whisper, "Aren't you going to do something?"
Natsume simply smirked and buried his nose in the new edition manga he got yesterday.
He promised not to burn her hair. He never promised to be her knight in shining armor.
Besides, who in the world would interrupt a good show?
