The Dare

Chapter 5:

What She Heard

That afternoon, Natsume asked Mikan out again for the 4th time, it was their forth date and everything happened because of the dare, the powerful dare of Ruka.

Mikan heard the knock from her door, "Na- ni?" She asked while fixing her hair for a while.

"This is Natsume, Mikan. Can we go out today? I need to tell you something later, after our date.." Answered Natsume frorm outside.

Mikan's heart started to pump fast again, "Ha- hai!" She opened the door and let Natsume in, but when she opened the door, Natsume stepped forward fast she didn't even notice he was hugging her already.

He caressed Mikan's back, (and oh yeah, did I mention that they were already 15 years old? This year was their last year in the academy already, if I didn't, well now I mentioned it) he pressed his lips to hers and started to kiss her, first it was soft but the kiss got harder and harder after each second, after several seconds, it turned into a passionate kiss already.

Mikan was surprised at Natsume's actions, she told herself that it was still early so she must push him but instead, she melt in his embrace and kissed him back.

They end up together that night… doing what we call… …

That morning…

Mikan rubbed her eyes, her eyes grew wide when she saw her uniform on the floor, along with her underwear… "AHHHH!" Mikan shouted, her shout woke Natsume up.

Natsume opened his eyes a little, it also grew wide just like Mikan's when he saw his own clothes on the floor, "AHHHH!" He also shouted.

They looked at each other, but not like before, only Mikan blushes when they do that, this time, Natsume blushed, him not knowing why

They both looked away, both panting hard, "Don't tell me we just did it…" Whispered Mikan lovingly while taking her clothes while covering herself with 2 pillows.

Natsume tried not glance but he cannot help it, Mikan had a wonderful body, she was NATSUME! SHAME ON YOU! STARING AT HER BODY? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! EVERYTIME SHE LOOKS AT YOU, YOUR HEART- "Natsum-e?" Aren't you going to put on your- uhm… - clothes?"

Natsume quickly got back to reality and looked at himself, he was covered with a pillow too, he grabbed his clothes and quickly wore them, Mikan didn't even see him do that. (tsk.. so unfair!)

Natsume froze while putting on his shoes, he stared at the floor, he totally forgot what he must do, yes the 1st task, kissing Mikan was done, but the 2nd…. Wasn't done yet, he sighed and looked at Mikan, "Mikan, I have to tell you something…"

"Huh?" Mikan asked while brushing some of her bangs to her ear while looking at Natsume with a confused expression.

"I- I- " Natsume covered his face, "I love you" He said aloud.

What Natsume said echoed like a church bell in Mikan's ear, He- he loves me? Stupid Mikan! It's obvious! Her heart leapt in joy, she quickly turned and hugged Natsume, "I LOVE YOU TOO NATSUME-KUN!"

Natsume didn't know why but his heart started beating fast as soon as Mikan said that, but yet, he felt guilty and sad, he sighed, Thankful guys? The dare's done! But then- why do I feel this kind of happiness when I'm with her? With this girl? I can be whoever I want to be when I'm with her, I can be myself, why? Why do I feel this way? And after that, he noticed that Mikan wasn't hugging him anymore, instead, she was gone already, but there was something she left on the table,

Dear Natsume,

Never knew you also loved me…. I want you to know that I love you very much, I can't stay here much longer, my heart's beating really fast right now, too shy to stay here… bye!

Love,

Mikan

Natsume sweat-dropped.

Natsume looked around the room one last time, then he decided to go back to his room, still a little sleepy.

As soon as he opened the door of his room…

"CONGRATZ NATSUME!" "WOOHOO NATSUME! YOU'RE TRULY BRAVE!" "Natsume! YOU- YOU FINISHED THE DARE!" "DONE! IT'S DONE NATSUME! REJOICE!"

He was greeted by the same crowd..

In that very moment, Sumire was passing by the corridor when she heard the big commotion in Natsume's room..

"Congrats Natsume!" Ruka shouted while hugging Natsume, "you passed the dare!" He added

Sumire raised her left brow, "Dare?"

"We all saw it! The video! Told ya we can see everything you two are doing!" A member of the gang shouted while putting a cd inside the dvd player, "look!"

Sumire put her finger below her chin, "You two? What does he mean? Is- is he referring to … Mikan and Natsume?"

"Mikan Sakura! Poor her! Hahaha! I can't believe she's that dumb to believe you! Hahaha! How in the world will someone fall inlove with her?" Shouted another gangmate.

Natsume's heart sank this time, he didn't know why but… what his gangmate said, especially this part 'how in the world will someone fall inlove with her'. It hit him hard.

Sumire stopped thinking, her confused expression turned into a sly expression, she flashed a sly smile and she continued her way, "So it was all a dare huh? Told ya I was true about the 'no one will ever love Mikan' thing! Wahahah! Can't wait to tell Mikan about this, it'll tore her heart into pieces, I'm sure about it… hahaha!"
