Just Try Natsume!
Chapter 7 - Yuu's Idea/Something in Common
(Part 1)
By: MM6/ MangaManiac6

No one saw Natsume Hyuuga the next day. No one expected to though. The story of what happened at the lake spread like wildfire. Somehow, the Natsume fan girls got their minds around it and allowed their hearts to keep dreaming. Everyone was worried, but Ruka didn't bother looking for him. "He'll come when he's ready." Was all Ruka muttered whenever sombody asked about Natsume's return. Ruka was worried, but he'd show up. Eventually. Maybe. Hopefully.

Luckily, Natsume did finally show up. And uncharacteristically, he was early. Ruka was also uncharacteristcially early. That's when he found him.

"Natsume!"

"Ruka."

"Wha.. Why are you sitting in Yuu's seat?" Ruka asked, suddenly noticing Natsume wasn't in his seat. He was in Yuu's.

"Just don't wanna sit," He paused so he could turn and point at his own seat. "there."

"Why?" Although he already knew.

"Don't wanna sit next to her." Natsume murmured softly. Ruka had never seen his best friend "down". He had seen Natsume happy, sad, and definetly angry. But never "down".

Ruka was wondering about this when the door slid open slowly. Sand colored hair Yuu appeared. He was the one who was usually early. They didn't realize how early they were until they saw Yuu walk in. "Oh. Oh! I'm sorry, I'll come back later..." Yuu said quickly and started towards the door before they yelled "stop". Yuu turned cautiously.

"Hey Tobita-san." Ruka and Natsume said together.

"You can call me Yuu." Yuu said, smiling.

"Then I will!" Ruka said, returning the smile. Natsume didn't say anything.

"So..." they could tell Yuu was trying to figure out a topic of conversation. "Why are you guys here so early?"

"Oh, I just had a feeling Natsume would come early and I happened to be right. Right?" Natsume couldn't tell if Ruka was serious but he knew Ruka's fake smile when he saw it.

"Oh. I just come early. I don't want to be late you know." Natsume nodded absentmindedly. He had to be absentminded, Ruka thought, because Natsume couldn't know how it felt to be worried about being late for school."Um... Err..." Yuu murmured softly. "Err, Natsume. You know you're in my seat right?" Natsume glared. "Uh! I mean, well...!" Yuu looked towards Ruka for an explanation.

"Yuu, do you mind? Natsume feels too embara-" Suddenly, a flame appeared in front of Ruka's face. Ruka knew Natsume would rather die then use his alice on him, but the flame was a symbol plainly meaning, "Shut up Ruka."

"Er- Natsume just wants to sit in your seat. Do you mind Yuu?"

"No. Do you mind then, if I sit in your seat Natsume?"

"Meh.." Natsume muttered.

"He means yes." Ruka said. Yuu nodded, and the two walked to their seats. There was a long awkward pause and no one wanted to be the first one to speak. That's when Ruka asked slowly, "Hey, Yuu?"

"Yes Ruka?"

"I have a question. It's personal, so feel free not to answer."

"Ok.." Yuu looked at Ruka curiously, "iI'll answer if I can."

"Yuu, do you like anyone?" Yuu went red and Natsume perked up his ears. Yuu self-conciously looked at a bench on the other side of the classroom. Ruka looked where Yuu did. "Hey isn't that where Nonoko sits?"

"Yes. Umm... I mean. Err..?" Yuu looked down with his red like a watermelon. What are you talking about?" Yuu asked.

Ruka smirked. He could tell Yuu was trying understand. He looked up at Natsume to see was looking interested too. His face said, "What are you up to Ruka?"

"I was just wondering. Because I wanted to know what you would do if you wanted to confess."

"Hmm... I guess I would talk about some stuff we had in common. You know, to get her to know you guys have common ground and all that. Then I would ask how she felt about me. I guess... Wait? Why? Not that I have someone I-" Yuu sighed as if he used all his energy and smashed his face (weakly) on the desk.

Ruka was smiling by this point. "Thanks Yuu." he said quietly and stood up.

"Er..." Yuu looked up slowly, "Your welcome?"

Ruka headed towards Natsume and his smile grew. "I just got you're new plan to confess to Mikan, Natsume."

Bleh, finished! That was totaly not worth waiting for, so I understand if you're mad with me. You try living a life and writing a story at the smae time! It's hard work... Anyway, Chapter 7 will be finished and I need more ideas. PM YOUR IDEAS PLEASE! I will give you credit! I think I've used someone's idea so you have my proof that I give credit. Review, Favorite, or/and Alert and get your name and a link to your profile on my profile! Not a bribe or anything...
