Chapter 2: Good News
Natsume smiled at himself. Finally.
"Dad, I'm--- I mean we're," Seiji watched as Natsume gently enclosed his hands on Mikan's.
"We're inviting you to our wedding, next week." Mikan smiled.
She's a very good actress. Natsume thought.
"Dad," he smiled, "We're getting married."
He found it so entertaining to watch his father's jaw drop. Gotcha.
"Mamamama----mamama---MARRIED!" He screeched in disbelief. Oh God, what happen? Never did he expect his son and his most favorite little niece to get together. Yes. He was quiet aware that they were best friends. And yes he was fully knowledgeable that his son use to have a crush on her. (What! Natsume had a crush on her?!) But still. They're getting married! When? How? Why? They weren't even going out!
"Mi---Mikan, dear." He stuttered adjusting his tie, somehow when they have narrated the good news his tie seemed to be tighter than before. Weird.
"Hmm?" she asked smiling sweetly.
"Are you sure you want to marry him?" he pointed a finger to his son's direction. "I mean, he is such an idiot. He'll just waste your time. He'll get you pregnant, cheat on you, divorce you, and make your life miserable. Believe me. I live with him!"
Wow.
"Dad." Natsume glared at him. What a supportive father he is! Hah!
"Mikan and I are getting married." There's that blasted word again.
"We're not asking your permission. We have decided, and we would just like to invite you. So I see no point that you try to talk trash about me in front of my wife-to-be." He stated nonchalantly. His face held no emotion, but deep down he really wanted to kick his dad's shin. What on earth was he thinking? What if Mikan suddenly decided she didn't want to marry him? Even if it's just pretend, it was important for him that he got what he wanted. And that was the company. (Fooled you didn't I?)
He still held her hand through out the whole 'are you sure conversation', tightening every time his dad would give another pathetic excuse on why they shouldn't get married.
"He'll just waste your time."
"He's not worth anything."
"He's sterile! He won't give you any children."
"He's gay, I tell you!"
Natsume and Mikan's sweat dropped at the last two comments. No way is Natsume sterile, and there is just no way that he's gay!
Seiji has switched to calm and cool, when Natsume entered. Loving when he saw and Mikan. And now, after popping the ever so good news that I'm always referring to he has switched into my favorite state. Idiotic.
Although a lot of people respected Seiji Lawrence Hyuuga for his kin talent and utmost charm, only few of them knew his states.
Calm and cool, which he always uses during working hours.
Childish which he uses whenever he gets a chance to tease his son. Acting as if he was Natsume's age! Hah. Dream on!
Loving and overprotective, whenever he sees Mikan. (This state is especially reserved for her.)
Charming, when he went out on dates. (also known as 'Prince' state)
Perverted, never had he assaulted anyone, but Natsume made this state ever since he found his dad 'secret stash' of perverted magazines, tapes, videos and god knows what else. (Whenever he watched his dad maliciously smile after reading :))
Serious, Natsume hated this state.
Idiotic you know when an old man acts all foolishly and stupid.
Natsume, being irritated because of his dads' unpredictable mood swings decided to make him a 'My baka Dad's states' just to help him understand his dad better. He had invented this states way back when he was still a toddler, grade one exact, two weeks after his mother passed away.
He remembered getting an A plus on his show and tell where he brought a presentation of all the states.
Mikan tugged on his sleeve.
"Hn?" he asked getting away from his stance. It's hard remembering all those weird states.
"Ano--- Natsume," Mikan had been quiet for a while now. What? Was she thinking to call off their agreement?
Damn it! Polka don't go haywire on me, not now.
He glared at her. He couldn't say that aloud. We all know the reason why. Seiji.was.still.there. or was he?
"Ano—Natsume," she said again. There was something in her voice that was somewhat uncomfortable. Uh oh.
"Nani?" he asked irritated.
Don't tell me you decided to listen to my dad. Great. Just what I need.
"It hurts." She whispered. "Would you mind letting go of my hand?"
Feeling a sense of relieved, he released her petite hand. "Gomen." He stated. Yeah, sorry for doubting you, Mikan.
"It's okay. No damage done." She smiled, although her fingers were a little swollen from his tight hold.
"Hmmm."
He smiled lightly as he watched the little brunet caress her hand. He must have been more nervous than he thought.
Speaking of being nervous, what happen to the cause of it in the first place? He eyed his dad's office? Where was the old man? Don't tell me he jumped out of the window. Natsume was sure he didn't hear the door opened nor did he hear it closed after Mikan arrived. Strange. Very Strange. Could there be some sort off secret escape passage here? He turned his head from left to right. Seiji wasn't there. Well not anymore.
Noticing Natsume's growing irritation she raised her head only to ask the same question.
"Ne, Natsume. Where did uncle go?"
She stood up from her chair and walked towards Uncle Seiji's desk only to find….
"Uncle Seiji!" she screeched she ran towards and bent down beside him. There, Seiji lay unconscious. He must have fainted. His eyes were all cross (anime style), he was drooling and he kept muttering. "He's gay I tell you. He's gay!"
Natsume walked beside her, sitting down at the exact position Mikan was.
"The old man fainted?" he asked amused.
I never thought you would be this shocked, dad. He smirked triumphantly. Gotcha.
"Let's get him to a doctor." Mikan suggested checking Seiji's pulse.
Natsume raised his brow. "Is he still breathing?" he asked.
"Yeah."
"Then no need to waste time. Just leave him." He stood up and proceeded towards the door.
"But Natsume----" Mikan protested. No way was she leaving an old man in this state. True, there was nothing to worry about, but being a nurse she couldn't stand to leave a patient behind. She wondered sometimes if it was just being nice or was it part of her routine as a nurse. (Yeah, I forgot to tell everyone that Mikan's a nurse here. So Gomene)
"Just leave him. He always faints when there something unexpected happens. It's a bit annoying really." Natsume remembered the times when he worried for nothing. He would wake up an hour later feeling perfectly fine.
He scowled at the memories.
"Honto?" she asked unsure. It was a nurse's duty to be sure after all. Or was it a doctor's?
"Trust me, Mikan. He'll live."
Inside Natsume's Ferrari
Mikan couldn't help but wonder what had happen to her dearest uncle. One minute he was standing confidently, stating utterly pathetic reasons why she shouldn't marry Natsume. And before they knew it, he was laying on his carpet, unconscious.
Was the news that hard to believe?
She wondered.
Natsume noticing his companion's silent behavior glanced sideways.
"I told you not to worry, didn't I? That old goat will be fine. " he sounded reassuring.
"Hmmm." She wished she didn't left him there. What if it was something serious? She wouldn't forgive herself. How can she call herself a nurse if she left a patient like that? The medicine gods would never ever forgive her. She sighed.
"You resigned your job yet?" Natsume asked.
She raised her brow. "Who told you I'm resigning my job?" that thought never crossed her mind.
"Why shouldn't you? You have no reason to keep on working. You have me now remember? You even have 250,000 yen every month, what else do you need a job for." True, after she becomes "Mrs. Natsume Hyuuga" (This is my future name! wahahahaah) she wouldn't need to do anything. She'll be well provided with absolutely everything!
"I'm not resigning my job, Natsume. It's just too precious to me." She leaned towards the window, glancing at a few kids paying near the street. They were wearing ragged clothes and they looked as if they haven't taken a bath for days. Some were lying down sick with no food, no water. "I want to help people." She said closing her eyes.
Natsume rolled his eyes. There she goes with her 'save everyone' plan again.
Bah woman! You think you're the only one who cares about others. He snorted.
Mikan turned her head towards Natsume's direction. "Ne, Natsume. Where are you taking me?" she asked noticing that they drove past her apartment.
Natsume raised his brow. "Didn't I tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"About the party."
"What Party?"
Natsume's car stopped at an oh-so-familiar restaurant. "George's" The banner read.
George's is actually an old Filipino style house with a lovely garden. It's own by an old woman who's first love was an American soldier named 'George'.
Only few people know about the restaurant, for it is located on an isolated area in Tokyo.
Mikan loved 'George's' so much. The service was good; the atmosphere was refreshing and the food was absolutely delightful. Everything was homemade from their pastries, beverages to their ice cream.
It was such a small restaurant that can accumulate only 20-25 people, but once you're in you won't really mind.
Come for the food, stay for the atmosphere.
Natsume went out and proceeded towards the restaurant. He glanced back at Mikan who was still inside his car. "Oi, polka. Aren't you coming?"
"Hai." She smiled opening her door. She really didn't expect Natsume to open the door for her. Natsume's no gentleman, she knew that.
She hurriedly got out, closed the door and ran beside Natsume.
She smiled.
It has been ages since she went there.
How long has it been? 1 month? Two?
After graduating college and being a nurse, she's been working 24/7. she has been really busy. She rarely went out on parties, and she usually stayed home, or when she went out she visited the sick.
"Ne, Natsume. What party?" she asked for the second time. How exciting. It's been a while since she last went to a party.
Natsume glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. "You'll see."
He opened the door.
BAKA.BAKA.BAKA.
Author's Note:
----- Seiji has a lot of States. He's weird, but handsome. Hmmm if you can't imagine him in his states, I have a few suggestions. Seiji's states are based from three different anime characters.
a.) Tamaki's dad/ Seou-sama(OHSHC): cool and calm, serious
b.)Haruhi's dad/ Ran-san(OHSHC): loving and overprotective
c.)Ryoma's dad/ Nanjiro-san(The Prince of Tennis): Pervert
NOTE: They all are: childish, trying hard to be charmers, and they all are genuine idiots
-----George's is a real restaurant here in Dagupan, and it is exactly how I described it. I and my friends come there all the time, after exams. We treat ourselves after a job well done! Hahaha
-Only few people know about it, everything's homemade (delicious none the less), it's a house own by an old woman who's husband's name is 'George' and yes he is American, it can only accumulate 20-25 people, and it's simple but very beautiful. The scenery makes you feel so happy. Atmosphere's perfect. (I've posted a lot of pictures on my multiply. Visit it sometimes my user name is the same: Lady von Bielefeld )
It's a crappy chapter. Sorry, I can't concentrate since my sisters and my dad kept pestering me. Please send your reviews and suggestions. I would love to hear from you
Happy New Year MiNna-sAn:)
Please Take Care!
I LOVE you ALL
JA NE!!!
Yours Truly,
Lady-Von-Bielefeld:)
