Chapter 2: At Central Town

Somewhere by the city, the duo continued their way to Central Town. Mikan broke the silence.

"Uhhh…Natsume…just wondering…why we are going to Central own in a time like this?" she scratched her head.

"Central Town is open 24/7, Polkadots. And besides, we can't just go around in our uniforms…or should I say…pajamas?" he smirked the fact Mikan was wearing her night gown. "Also, Hotaru and the others are still after us. We have to get away from them as far as possible."

"Fine. Fine. Then where?" she asked in a stubborn mood.

"We'll know when we get there. Let's go, Polkadots." He teased.

"I told you!! I'm NOT Polkadots!! Stop saying that!!" she pouted.

"What? Polkadots?" he teased again.

"Yes!! Polkadots! I hate that name! Why can't you just call me Mikan?!?!" she said loudly.

"Whatever. Fighting with you is pointless." He walked ahead of her a little faster.

"Remind me again why I fell for you…" she moped.

"Dunno. Try asking yourself. You're the one who's in love." He answered coldly.

"I hate it when you close the conversation." She frowned.

"I hate it when you start a conversation." He blocked her again.

"Natsume…Have you ever fell in love?" she questioned curiously.

He raised an eyebrow. "Why ask so suddenly?"

"I-I…well…I was just asking! It's just a yes or no!" She turned her head to the opposite side to hide her blushing cheeks.

"Maybe." He murmured.

"Really? With who? How long? Do you still love her?" she bounced excitedly.

He blushed. "Don't push your luck, and as much as possible, I want to avoid unnecessary confrontations. Like this one."

"Whatever, meanie!" she stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

After seemingly an hour, Mikan began to walk drowsily and her vision started to blur.

"Are…we…there…yet?" her eyes were about to close but she bumped on Natsume's back and on the ground.

"What's the hold up?!" she rubbed her eyes to see well. Her raven-haired friend helped her up.

"We're here." He pointed to the sign which says 'Central Town.'

Mikan's eyes widened when she saw the beautiful sight of Central Town, bright lights covered the buildings, there were different assortments of stores and there were a lot of people, buzzing as thy entered and left each stores.

"Wow…it's amazing!" she gazed around, fascinated the view. Natsume messed up her hair.

"Told ya, Central Town never sleeps. Now, let's find a department store. You look ridiculous."

"Ha-ha. I forgot how to laugh, and you really didn't have to mess up my hair." She uttered sarcastically, fixing her pigtails. "Hey look, I think that's a store for clothes." She pointed to a shop nearby.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get going." They both walked to the store.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside the store…

"Well…Buy what you have to. Meet me here in 20 minutes." He trotted away to the men's department.

Mikan wandered through the store. There were a lot of clothes there, each in a unique style. She had to choose one.

"What should I pick? This one or this or…sheesh. Anything would do." She got some clothes and started trying them out.

After 20 minutes…Natsume arrived at their meeting spot wearing a pair of jeans, a plain blue shirt and a jacket 10 shades lighter that his shirt. After a short while, Mikan appeared wearing a pink halter, covered by a pink jacket, a plain white miniskirt and pink sneakers to match her top.

"You done?" his cheeks started warming up again; he had to admit that she looked cute in her outfit.

"Yup, I'm done." She smiled widely.

They paid for their things and left the store. They stopped by the fountain to discuss where they were going.

"Okay, now, we're going to the train station. We'll head to the nearest dock. Persona said that Reo's hiding at the southern part of the continent, so…we'll get there by boat." Natsume interpreted. Mikan doesn't seem focused with the topic. "Something bothering you?" he asked.

"I'm worried. I hope Ruka, Hotaru, and the others are okay." She frowned.

"They'll be fine. Trust me. Right now, we should be headed to the train station. Let's go.

"How long will the trip be?" she questioned.

"It depends." He smirked.

Mikan grabbed his hand and started running. "I'm excited. We better hurry or else we'll be late." She smiled.

Natsume blushed again. "Why do I keep blushing when I see her smile? No…Falling in love would be the last thing I'll ever prioritize." He thought. "Polkadots! You run too fast! He yelled.

"You're too slow!" she laughed childishly, running like 7-year old kids across Central Town.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they arrived at the train station, Natsume bought their tickets then entered the steaming train. There were only a few people riding it though. The tired duo sat lazily on their assigned seat. Natsume sat by the window. After a few minutes, the train started to move. Mikan already fell asleep but her head kept swaying back and forth.

"You're really tired huh?" he stared at her sheepishly. "I understand. You're not used to this." When looked back at the window, Mikan's head fell on his shoulders, her arm wrapped around his. She finally fell asleep peacefully.

"Thank you, Natsume" she whispered sleepily.

Thu-Thump! Thu- Thump!

Natsume felt his heart beating really fast and he blushed 10 shades of red. He looked back outside the window. Thoughts suddenly started flowing in his mind…

"You're so selfish! It's always about 'I don't want you involved' or always being worried that we'd put our lives in jeopardy! You always thought about how you would feel. Did you ever think what we would feel if you died?!"

"I'm here, Natsume. Don't keep the pain all to yourself…"

"Catch me…Natsume…I'm falling for you."

"You're an idiot. You'd risk your life for this."

"It's better than losing you."

"Love, Mikan. It's love."

"Natsume…Have you ever fell in love?"

He shook his head. "Damn. Maybe I just need some rest. It's been a busy night…I'm thinking too much." He closed his eyes and leaned on Mikan's head. Not long, he also fell asleep. What they didn't know is, their love charms started glowing lightly.
