I LOVE YOU, DAMN IT!
Summary: Puppy love is really cute, but it moves really slowly. Now that Mikan and Natsume has really confirmed their feelings. It's time to confess it (with the help of friends in the way).
Chapter 2: Love and Jealousy Arousing
"Yippee! It's good that the teachers are having a meeting, now we can rest from all those school work!" said Mikan while resting in the peaceful garden. (It was peaceful before they came) "Baka, can you stop shouting, can't you see we are studying here" "Why are you studying Hotaru, you should be resting" "We will have a check up test tomorrow, well you don't need to worry, though I know I am brilliant I still need to study but you, I know you will prefer studying with HIM" "Ehhh? Who him? What are you talking about Hotaru?" Nobody responded with Mikan's question, all of them just giggled. "Why are you laughing? I really don't understand you." Mikan left with an I-am-confused look. "Baka, I just said you want to study with Natsume" "Why didn't you answer her question? She really left with a confused face you know?" Ruka asked while smirking to his girlfriend. "I don't want to interfere with their relationship, though I need to help cause there came a new problem, Luna" everyone fell silent, they know the hidden feelings of Natsume and Mikan and they are worrying that maybe this love will be broken because of somebody named Luna; they are really worried.
"Mikan, I know you know who they are referring to, but why are denying it, that you will really prefer studying with him. Why can't you afford telling them that they re right, why is your pride very high? Why? Is it because you feel that they will know your true feeling towards him? But is it wrong? Is it wrong to feel like this? NO! But why? Because you know he will just turn you down? Because you can't face the truth that with Luna around he will choose her not you Mikan? But I can't deny it, I LOVE HIM! I LOVE NATSUME!
Unconsciously, she saw herself in front of the Sakura tree, their Sakura tree where in she shared the hardest and sweetest day of her life with Natsume. She sat down and leaned her body to its trunk, she remembered the things she thought a while ago and she suddenly said to herself "Am I not worth it?" with her surprise Natsume was just there, in her side, listening to what she was uttering a while ago. "Were you hear a while ago?" she didn't receive a response "Were you listening to me a while ago?" but no word came out from the mouth of Kuro-neko. "Now he's getting into my veins, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!!" still she didn't receive any response and to her surprise, Natsume was sleeping. "He's really cute when he sleeps, though he has grown a bit taller he still looks young, like a baby especially when he sleeps." "Oi, stop staring at me you're giving me shivers." "EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWAKE, THEN— "then suddenly Natsume rested in the lap of our ever beautiful auburn haired girl, Mikan. "Shut up! I want to rest can't you see." "Sorry" that is the only word Mikan said. Then she suddenly stroked the hair of Natsume. "Oi baka, what are you doing?" "Ha? I thought it will help you sleep." "Just keep doing that." "Why?" "Cause I love it" this made Mikan smile. "I am glad you liked it" then Natsume took hold of her hand, he hold it tight and placed it near his heart. He uttered some words which Mikan didn't clearly hear "I love you, baka" "What? What did you say?" before Natsume can answer, there came a shadow of a girl, it was Luna. She then jumped directly to Natsume, grabbed the hands of Mikan and threw her away. "Natsume, why are you wasting time with that girl? It's better if you'll kill time with me" Luna smirked and started harassing his chest but Natsume griped her wrist very tight that Luna cried because of pain. "Don't ever tough me, ugly" he pushed Luna away and started a fire in her hair. Luna ran for fear but this made her much more interested about Natsume. "It seems you're really my type Natsume. Just wait and you will see yourself harassing me." She secretly smirked while running towards the fountain.
"Oi baka, stand up" but he heard nothing but the whistling wind. "Oi, are you really desperate in making me yours that you even want me to help you." but still he didn't hear a reply as he realized Mikan was unconscious. "Oi baka wake up!" (Now his worried, what a change of heart) he then saw blood from her shoulder; making him panic. All he thought is he needs to bring her to the hospital. He carried her bridal style in going there. "Doctor, is she alright?" "Of course, she was just hurt in her shoulders. The wound will eventually heal after 3-5 days, so don't worry." "Hn. I am not worried about her." "I know you are, you can't hide it because a while ago you were like a husband who has a pregnant wife. Tell me the truth, are you her boyfriend?" "I am not" replying angrily (just say it Natsume you are, rephrase it, YOU WANT TO! But still, pride and standards, he won't really admit that he wants to become the boyfriend of Mikan Sakura). "Go know, I think she needs your company" said the Doctor (which is the brother of Hotaru). "Fine"
Natsume stayed with Mikan inside the room. He looked after her. "Natsume,--baka—pervert." "Hn. dreaming about me strawberries, now I know, you are in love with me." This made Natsume giggle. He then recalled the words of the doctor "a while ago you were like a husband who has a pregnant wife." "You should better be my wife after we graduate, and we should have many children" Natsume giggled more. He then moved Mikan to the right and sneaked in, in the left. He slept with her putting her head on his chest while putting his arm around the slim waist of Mikan. (He looks like very possessive in his pose. He looks like he owns Mikan's entire body)
Night passed and day came. Mikan woke up and rubbed her eyes like a baby. She noticed there was someone beside her and "Natsume? YOU PERVERT!!!!" this made our young heartthrob wake up. They were just staring with each other (eye to eye). Suddenly, Mikan felt something touched her lips. "Na-atsu-me" Natsume didn't react instead he suppressed his head into Mikan's chest and hugged her. "Let's stay like this always..." "Why?" "Cause this makes me feel safe." Mikan didn't struggle to let go. SHE LOVED IT!
"Mikan, this is your chance, don't let go of him. Now that nobody knows what happened nobody will disturb your moment. Just sleep there with him. Don't hesitate. YOU KNOW THE FACT THAT YOU LIKE IT!" Mikan thought to herself. After realizing it she was already smiling. She responded to Natsume by hugging him tight. Letting him go deeper to her chest; letting him sleep. SHE JUST WANTS TO SAY "YES! WE CAN STAY LIKE THIS FOREVER AND EVER" She didn't notice herself saying. "I love you, pervert." Natsume was listening; he smiled because he was glad of what he heard.
