Chapter 16:

Mikan skipped through the corridor. While walking, she was chirping happily. It was 6:00 am in the morning and it was a miracle that Mikan is one hour earlier for her class. Usually, their class will start at 7:00 and she'll come at 7:59 am. But then, when Natsume started to teach in their school, she'll be in school at 6:30 am.

She walked happily towards the school terrace. She and Natsume has an agreement to meet at the school terrace at 6:00 am. She run towards the terrace and open the door.

"Natsume!" Mikan shouted happily while smiling. The raven-haired boy looked back after hearing the cheerful voice. He smiled

"Hey" Natsume greeted

"Good Morning Natsume!" Mikan said happily, running towards Natsume and then hugged him. "I missed you"

"Yeah, it's obvious" Natsume said, hugging Mikan back

"Hey, didn't you miss me?" Mikan said pouting, lifting her head to look at him.

"Of course, I don't" Natsume smirked. Mikan frowned.

"Hmmmp!" Mikan said "If that so, I'll leave now!" Mikan said and was about to walk away when Natsume grabbed her arm

"Idiot" Natsume stopped "Of course I missed you" Natsume finished

"Really??" Mikan's eyes twinkling

"Yeah" Natsume answered back. Mikan laughed and then kissed him on the lips. "Have you take breakfast?"

"Hmmm, not yet" Natsume said

"Come on! Let's eat together! I brought something!" Mikan said happily, grabbing his hand and pulling him. He let her pulled him. They said down on the floor. Mikan took out a three layered bentos and pulled out one pair of chopstick.

"I made it by myself" Mikan said while opening the bentos

"I bet the taste is awful" Natsume teased, smirking at the girl beside her

"Of course not. Hotaru said that I'm a good cook" Mikan said boastfully

"And you actually believed her?" Natsume teased back

"Of course, she's my bestfriend" Mikan said. "Okay, shut up now and just eat" Mikan said, putting the chopstick in front of his mouth.

"If I die right because of this, it's your fault" Natsume said and then opened his mouth

"Oh shut up" Mikan said. Natsume munched the food "How was it?"

Indeed, the food is great. But Natsume will not let her win without arguing.

"Not bad" Natsume said. Mikan snob him and put another sasshimi on her mouth. Natsume looked at her.

"What are you planning to do with Nogi?" Natsume asked. Mikan almost choked. She almost forgot about Ruka.

"Ummm, I still don't know. Maybe, I'll talk to him later" Mikan said and then smiled "Don't worry about it"

KRRRRINNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

The bell finally rang. It was their break time and everyone was shouting happily. Except for a certain brunette haired who doesn't know how to approach a certain blonde boy. Ruka was sitting beside her, silent. It seems that, he was just waiting for Mikan to talk to her. He know that Mikan is going to say something.

After a few minutes of silent, Mikan finally spoke.

"Ummm, Ruka-pyon?" Mikan said. Ruka looked at her

"What is it?" Ruka asked

"Ummm, can we talk for a while?" Mikan asked

"About what, Mikan?" Ruka said

"Well," Mikan twiddled her forefingers together "Well, it's about something" Ruka nodded

"Okay" Ruka said and stood up. They went to the nearest Sakura Tree.

"Umm, Ruka-pyon" Mikan stopped

"What is it that you want to talk about?" Ruka asked

"Well, it's about you, me and this relationship" Mikan said nervously

"What about it? Is there any problem?" Ruka asked looking at her. Of course, he knew everything about it.

"Ano, Ruka-pyon. I don't think this will work to the both of us. Ruka-pyon, I'm sorry" Mikan said her eyes was covered by her bangs

"So, you're fooling me?" Ruka asked

"No! It's not like that. It's just that, I don't want you to hope. Ruka-pyon, I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you" Mikan said, her eyes getting teary. "I love you as a friend. I don't know why. But I can't love you the way you like me to"

"It's because you're not trying. You're not letting your heart to love me. You closed your heart and you never let me go inside it" Ruka said and walked away with his heart broken into pieces.

Mikan was walking alone in the school corridor. Her eyes red due to crying. She didn't meant to hurt him. She loved him. True. But only as a friend and a brother, nothing more.

It was already their dismissal time, but she don't have the mood to go home. After her confrontation with Ruka, she was distracted for her afternoon class. While her subject teachers was speaking, her mind is flying or she was looking outside the window. She can't believe that she did hurt her friend. She's not used to it. Whenever she and her friends have misunderstandings, she'll approach them and say sorry. It was always easy for her to approach her friends. But now, she doesn't have the guts. She don't know how to approach Ruka and say sorry to him.

Her minds is still flying and she didn't noticed that she was already standing at the school terrace, looking at the sky. Now, she was being doubtful if she made the right decision. Was it right to accept Natsume if Ruka is in pain? Or, is she supposed to choose Ruka for the sake of this friendship? But she know that it's hopeless. Even if she accept Ruka, she knew that they won't be happy, considering that there is only one who will do all the work. She knows, she love Natsume dearly. There's no doubt for that. If ever, she would want to spend eternity with him and she was sure that she will be happy if she will stick with Natsume.

But, can she risk her friendship with Ruka just for her own happiness?

Her mind is still blank, as she felt a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, and a chin was placed on her shoulder

"Hey, you seem occupied. What happened?" Natsume asked her, still hugging her from behind. She sighed and placed her hands above his hands that was on her waist.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about something" Mikan answered, enjoying Natsume's body heat. "How's your day?"

"It's fine. What happened to your confrontation with Nogi?" Natsume asked. Mikan sighed again

"I don't know. I think it went bad. I bet he's mad" Mikan answered

"Don't worry, he'll understand it" Natsume said

"Natsume, do you think this is right? I mean, you know that it's bad to have a relationship with a student" Mikan said

"I don't know. But all I know is, I want you to be with me always" Natsume said while looking at the sky "Besides"

"I know that whatever happens, you're always beside me. We'll get through this together as long as we have each other"

Mikan smiled. Now, she was sure that she made a right choice. Natsume is right. Ruka will understand it soon. From now on, she'll always be with Natsume. She won't leave him no matter what.

Turning around, she smiled at Natsume and hugged him tightly.

"I love you" Mikan said to him.

"I love you too" Natsume answered her before kissing her head.
