Chapter Seven – Love Is Like A Sin


It's Christmas time. In every shop there are Christmas decorations. Mikan bites in her lip as she can't choose which decoration to buy.

"Buy something cute," Sumire says, standing beside Mikan and looking at the decorations. "Ruka would like this," she points at Santa Claus's wife's ceramic art's figure.

"No, he won't." Mikan says, turning around to walk out the shop.

"What's wrong with you, Mikan?" Sumire asks, grabbing her best friend's arm to stop her from leaving.

"I'm not in the mood to talk now." Mikan smiles as Sumire lets her go. She tells Sumire to buy what she wants.

When she sits down on the nearest chair, she checks her mobile phone for some messages. There is zero in her mail box. She sighs and closes her eyes. Lately Ruka has been avoiding her. And she doesn't like it, not at all.

-;-

She grabs a bottle of beer and puts it in front of her lips. She wants to pass out and forget everything that has been happening.

Ruka's message was deleted as soon as she got it.

Sorry, I won't be able to be home in Christmas time. I have more work here.

Sure. More work, as if, fucking every female student.

She drinks her second beer bottle as the door bell rings. She tries to run to the door, but clumsy trips on her carpet. When she opens the door, she smiles at her guest.

"Well, hello there," she mumbles, smiling dreamy at her guest.

"Are you drunk?" he asks her, stepping in the apartment. Mikan pouts at Natsume, realizing that her charming skill doesn't work on him.

"Yes, I'm drunk because guys like you, Natsume, are douche bags." She raises her voice and finds the urge to hit something.

"Don't tell me that your pretty boyfriend broke up with you. I bet I would do too, if I had such a crazy girlfriend like you." Natsume smirks and takes off his coat and shoes.

Mikan screams out in frustration. She runs into him, making him stagger backwards. He hits the wall with his back, grimacing as the pain shots through his body.

Mikan hides her face in his shirt and mumbles something that he doesn't hear.

"What's wrong with you?" he asks her as he pushes her away. Mikan looks up with her teary eyes and sobs.

"Does it mean that he wants to break up with me?" She whimpers and stares in his eyes for a moment. Natsume grimaces, not knowing what to do with girls who have hysteria.

"I'm useless." She whispers and turns around. "If you need anything, Natsume, I'm in my room. I guess I'll be there all evening and night. Tell Sumire goodnight from me."

"You're not going anywhere." Natsume says, grabs her hand and leads her in the kitchen.

"What do you want?"

"If you want to get drunk in charming way, you have to need drinking buddies. I'll be the replacement for Sumire, I hope you don't mind." He tells her, makes her sit on one of the chairs at the table, goes to the refrigerator and takes out few beer bottles.

"Let's have a toast, Sakura." He smirks as he puts the bottles down and opens the bottles corks with a corkscrew.

Mikan takes one of the open bottles, clings it with Natsume's and drinks it.

"I can not understand woman but I know what they need after a hard day." Natsume smirks, showing off how cocky he can be. Mikan giggles and claps her hands.

"You're the best at knowing women, Hyuuga."

Everything spins around as she stands up. She giggles, not knowing what to do. She sees him, looking at her with a raised eyebrow. She shows him her tongue and walks to the refrigerator. She takes out a glass of juice and drinks it down.

"Do you want more?" He asks her from the table. She nods and hears how the bottle's cork gets opened.

She giggles, runs toward him to grab the bottle. She sees him smiling, which is really rare.

"Soon, I'll be drunk as shit." Mikan mumbles and giggles. He only shrugs and says that he doesn't care.

It's allowed to not care. Always.

-;-

She laughs out loud as she drinks her fifth beer bottle. It's more than she should drink. But she doesn't care. Ruka isn't here. He wouldn't see it. He would never know it.

She looks at her drinking buddy and laughs out, just for fun. Who would have known that Natsume Hyuuga is so funny?

"What's wrong?" She hears him asking for, like, eighteenth time. She shrugs and laughs again.

"I think I should go to sleep or else, I'll do something I'll regret later."

"Like what?" Natsume asks and drinks his third bottle of beer.

Mikan leans closer to him, "I would get tempted to get you naked." And then she laughs.

"Funny," Natsume says and winks, making Mikan burst in another mix of laughs.

"It's getting hot here." Mikan takes off her jacket to relieve her beautiful red blouse which seems very tight for her at the moment. She giggles and looks up to look at Natsume who has been staring in the same place for more than ten minutes.

"What's wrong, Natsume?"

"Do you want to have more fun?" He smirks, seeing how interest in Mikan's eyes appears.

"Of course, what's on your mind?"

"As long as Sumire hadn't dropped the real thing out, we have one joint in the cupboard."

Mikan laughs and they go to find the one joint in the cupboard. They share and soon Mikan feels the joint's effects. She feels calm and free. She looks at Natsume who smokes the whole joint and shows him her tongue.

She goes to sit on the table and lays down to stare at the ceiling. Everything in the room seems so interesting. She feels like the time has been frozen. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

She feels fingers on her tight and opens her eyes to stare into ruby red eyes. She raises her eyebrow, as if asking, what Natsume wants.

But he doesn't answer.

He leans down, removes his hand from her tight and cups her face. His lips brush hers and she feels how the electricity shots between them. Maybe it was the joint's fault, she thinks, as she caresses his back and loses herself in his hot mouth. She drinks him, kissing him roughly.

Every move feels wicked. Mikan gasps as his lips leave hers to travel down her neck. She moans as Natsume bites her in her soft spot. She feels how his hands find her blouse buttons and slowly open them. When she opens her closed eyelids, everything seems to be blurry.

Mikan trembles when Natsume removes her red blouse, leaving her in only bra. Soon, the bra is gone and she is half naked in front of him. He leans her down and sucks her nipples as she moans and gasps, feeling dazed.

She remembers how she pushes off his shirt and opens his jeans. Her skirt and panties disappears and soon they both are naked on the kitchen's table.

He raises her hips up when Mikan wraps her legs around his hips. He thrust himself inside her and increases the speed. She cries out as he hits her deep. All she hears are her heart beat and the feel of him, being inside her, filling her with him. She realizes that she had missed this primitive act. Ruka usually is gentle. Natsume is the opposite of him. He is rough and fast. And somehow, it turns Mikan on even more.

Soon, she is lost in the dreamy haze the moans and the joint brings her.

The next day Mikan Sakura wakes up in a bed that isn't her own. She gasps as she realizes that she's sleeping in Sumire's and Natsume's room, being naked.

When she stands up from the bed, memories come and hit her on the head, hard. She runs outside the room and realizes that she's alone in the apartment.

She rushes inside the bathroom, almost jumps in the shower and pushes up the tap to make the cold water come out from the shower. She takes a deep breathe and tries to calm herself but nothing works.

How will she be able to look in Sumire's eyes?
