A/N: This is an AU so there is NO Alice Academy

I really wanted to write more on the Coffee Shop AU One-shot that I posted last time, so I turned it into a Two-Shot!

10 - Coffee Shop AU II

Mikan twirled lazily around the empty tables, pulling her apron off and throwing it onto the counter as she spun.

"You're going to make yourself dizzy," Sumire snapped, emerging from the kitchen and placing Mikan's apron in the right place, "Seriously, you're making me feel sick just watching you do that."

"I'm just excited! I've never been on a date before." She stopped mid turn and bounded over and next to Sumire, "Where do you think he'll take me?"

"I don't know, Mikan," She sighed loudly, shaking her head, "As if he went for you though, you're so childish. He would've been smarter to go for me, I'm much more mature."

"Don't be jealous Sumire; I'm sure you'll get a boyfriend someday!" Mikan cheered, ignoring the 'childish' comment, "What happened to that guy? Was his name Koko? I can't really remember…"

"S-Shut up!" Sumire began to blush furiously, and Mikan's smile grew wider as she realized she'd got it right, "I'm leaving! Have fun!"

She rushed out the Café and Mikan huffed at her friends hasty retreat as her eyes flicked to the clock hanging on the wall, telling her it was just past six o'clock, meaning her date was late. The thought that maybe he was just joking hit her hard, and she sat down in the nearest chair, covering her face with her hands.

"He probably was only teasing me," She muttered to herself, shifting to let her head lie against the cool table top, "It's not like I liked him that much anyway… Stupid Natsume."

The bell chimed, signalling someone had entered and Mikan refused to lift her head, simply mumbling a quick 'Sorry, we're closed' before sighing loudly.

"Oi, polka dots," His voice sounded from beside her, and she sprang up, causing him to stumble backwards, "Jesus, don't move so quickly; you almost head-butted me."

Mikan stared at him for a few moments before she smiled widely, and he rolled his eyes at her cheerful attitude despite the fact she looked down just a second ago.

"Natsume, I thought you weren't going to come!" She stood up, pointing at the clock, "You're late!"

"It's only five minutes," Natsume pointed out, shaking his head slightly and turning towards the door, "Let's just go."

Mikan followed quickly after him, the cold afternoon air taking her by surprise and goose bumps began to rise up on her uncovered arms, as she exited into the street and locked the door behind her. When she turned back to Natsume, he was already part way down the road, and she jogged to catch up with him, sending him a glare when she reached his side.

"Don't just leave me behind!" He only glanced at her out the corner of his eye, "This is meant to be a date, and so far I'm not impressed."

"We just left the god-damned building, would you calm down." But he slowed his walk, making it easier for her to match his pace, "Are you cold?"

"Yes, thank you for noticing." Mikan sniffed, raising her head slightly as he narrowed his eyes at her tone,

"Well, I'm not going to be a sap and give you my coat," He shrugged and she stared at him, dead-panned, "You should've been smarter and brought your own."

Mikan crossed her arms and moved slightly further to the left, away from Natsume, disappointed at how this was turning out. She didn't expect him to be all romantic and mushy, but she did want him to act at least a bit nicer, since he did ask her out and all. She frowned at the ground, her eyes on her feet, when she felt something wrap around her and pull her to the right, her side becoming enveloped in heat and the arm draping far enough over her shoulders to cover her other bare arm and keep that warm too. Mikan glanced up at Natsume, and watched his eyes flicker to look forward when she met his gaze, making a small smile creep onto her face as she cuddled slightly closer to his side.

"Can I ask where we're going?" Mikan questioned, peering around to see if she could guess where they were heading, "It's not outside is it? It's really cold, Natsume."

"You don't look cold," He smirked at her and began to retreat his arm when she grasped onto it, keeping it set firmly over her shoulders, "See, you're perfectly fine under there."

She pouted at him and he chuckled, moving to mess her hair up with his other hand, "Oh, and about where we're going..." Mikan raised her eyebrows at him, waiting for him to continue as she straightened her hair again, "It's a surprise."

"Natsume! It's beautiful!" Mikan gasped, running forward and letting Natsume's arm fall off her shoulders, "I never knew this park was here!"

She skipped over to the huge fountain in the middle of the area, the smell of flowers and fresh air filling her lungs and she grinned, her head swinging from side to side and she took everything in. Natsume stared at her for a while, the smallest smile appearing on his lips before he walked a few feet away and sat down in front of one of the many Sakura tree's lining the park. He leaned his body back against the trunk and watch lazily as some of the petals fell down around him.

"Natsume! What are you doing just sit-" She ran towards him and cut off her own words, her eyes darting to the grass around him and lighting up, "Whoa, there are so many daisies here!"

Natsume chuckled at her short attention span as she chucked herself onto the ground beside him and began collecting daisies, pulling them out the ground and making a pile on his thigh.

"What are you doing?" He asked, inspecting the heap on his lap, "Why do you need this many? You're going to end up pulling them all out at this rate. There wont be any left."

"I need a lot because I'm making a flower crown and you have such a big head." She giggled, and he flicked her softly on the forehead, "Anyway, why did you decided to bring me here, of all places?"

"I remembered how you said once that you use to live in a house with a big garden," Mikan glanced up at him with wide eyes, surprised he actually remembered, "And you said that you loved flowers, so I just thought you'd like it here…"

"I love it here, Natsume!" She leaned back against his side, letting her head fall back slightly to rest on his shoulder, "Thank you."

"Better then one of them fancy restaurants," She felt him shrug, and she picked up a few of the daisies off his leg, "And, this also doesn't cost anything."

"Geez Natsume," Mikan let out a small laugh, her hands carefully knotting the small flowers together, "Don't be such a cheap skate, you ruined the moment."

"Hey, I'm allowed to be a cheap skate, I waste too much money in your stupid Coffee Shop." He let his head fall to the side and against the top of her own, "At least the money I spend there actually helps you, I guess."

"You don't even drink the coffee you buy; I don't see why you keep coming in…" She connected the last two daisies and studied the circle of flowers in her hands, "Here."

She turned to face him and knelt in the grass, her hands moving forward and placing the crown on top of his head. Her fingers brushed through his hair and she looked down slightly to meet his piercing gaze, the intensity of it making her breath catch in her throat.

"I don't care about the coffee, Mikan." The way he said her name sent shivers down her spine, and she found herself leaning forward, her eyes flickering shut, "I just want to be with you."

Then he kissed her, his lips pressed hard against her own, and their noses bumped slightly until Mikan angled her head, bringing her hands up and burying her fingers into his hair, and in the back of her mind she was surprised at how soft it felt under her touch. She felt his own hands snake around her waist and pull her closer, until she was almost sat in his lap, and his tongue brushed against her bottom lip, causing her to squeak against his mouth. She felt his lips turn up against her own, and she pulled back slightly, only just managing to catch the small smile that graced his features before he moved to kiss her nose, and then her forehead, a happy giggle escaping her mouth at his actions. Spreading her fingers through his hair again as he continues to press kisses against her face, she felt the ring of daisies she had placed atop his head and she leaned back away from him, taking the crown with her and frowning at its broken state.

"You made me ruin it." Mikan muttered, cheeks heating up slightly as she realized what she had just moved away from, what they had just done, "I'm going to have to make you a new one now."

She tried to get off his legs, but when he refused to move his hands from her waist, she simply turned around and sat with her back facing him, stretching her legs forward comfortably and overlapping them with his own before resting her back against his chest, feeling him bury his face in her hair.

"Natsume?" She called out quietly, picking up the daisies that had scattered around their legs, and his head moved against her own, "Can we do this again sometime?"

"Which part, the flowers or the kissing?" Mikan could tell he was smirking,

"Both?" It came out as a question, despite the fact she knew she'd love to do both again, she liked spending time with him like this, out of the Café and closer together, but she also liked kissing him, it sparked something warm inside her, "Definitely both. I mean, if you want."

His arms tightened around her, and his breath tickled as it ran across her neck, "Definitely."
