A/N: I am SO sorry that I haven't updated in AGEESSS and that this one really isn't very good and is short but I've been so busy with Exams and I'm struggling to keep up with everything, but anyway I hope you like it (even though its bad, ew) and I'll try to update more often after this :3

16 - Wedding Bells (After)

"I fell over Natsume! I tripped just like I told you I would!" Mikan shouts loudly, pulling Natsume along the hallway, "Anyway, did you have fun?"

"Yeah, I guess…" His blunt answer caused Mikan to stop and stare at him with narrowed eyes, "I'm glad we're married."

She rolled her eyes, a habit she'd picked up from him over the years, before continuing to drag him by the hand towards their room. When they finally reached the door, she released her hold on him, leaned back against the wall and let out a loud yawn, watching Natsume pull the keys out and quickly unlock the door.

"Let's do this properly," He turns to face her with a smirk, dropping the keys back in his pocket and approaching her, "Wifey."

"What are you talk-" Natsume swiftly sweeps her up and off her feet, and a shriek escaped her mouth, "Natsume! Put me down!"

He just grunts, kicking the door open roughly with his foot and carrying her in, using his back to close the door before placing her carefully on the bed. He leans over her, moving his face close to her own and grinning as her cheeks heat up.

"I love you," He mutters, not waiting for her response before covering her lips with his, moving to kneel on the bed, his hands keeping most of his weight off her. Mikan's hands bury themselves in his hair and he pulls away, moving down to press his mouth against her neck.

"N-Natsume,"

One of his hands begins to travel downwards and Mikan pushes his head away, stopping everything.

"Natsume, I… I don't-"

"-It's alright, we don't have to… I'm sorry…" Natsume moves to the side to sit on the bed, turning to watch Mikan as she sits up and pulls the strap of her dress back onto her shoulder, "I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to."

"It's not that I don't want to… I'm just… I'm just not ready yet…" Mikan rubs her eyes with the back of her hands, shaking her head, "I know you want to, and I know it's our wedding night but… I'm sorry Natsume, I'm sorry!"

She covers her face with her hands as sobs begin to echo out her mouth, and he stares at her for a few seconds before pulling her closer to his side, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"No, no it's alright. Don't cry, Mikan…" Natsume leans his head against her hair, his soothing voice directed into her ear, "Don't cry on our wedding day… I don't care about that wedding night crap, okay? I'm just happy to be married to you, I love you, so stop crying."

He feels her nod and smiles slightly when he hears a quiet 'I love you too.'
