Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice, so I'm sad..but if I did..I'd be so happy to own Natsume (Yeah right, in my dreams!)
We meet again.
As usual, everything happened on a Sunday and this time, Mikan was able to play the guitar with her choirmates. Natsume came early and saw Mikan's practice with her choirmates and was amazed of what she can do. He didn't know that she could be so talented and expressive. "There are more to her than meets the eye" he thought and smiled at her when she would play. Her music was like the world to him. It would calm him down, like when he sees her face. Too bad he doesn't have a picture of Mikan. Or does she? Either way, anything Mikan does still meant the world to him.
More Sundays come and go and they don't always see each other, but the same impressions seem to be there in their minds. Yes, those impressions were added each Sunday that passed, as they know more and more about each other. Even a bit, Mikan knew some things about Natsume, but she never knew his name. She did try to ask her classmate that knows about him but Mikan forgot his name. When her friend told it to her, she didn't hear it clearly. The name Natsume didn't really marked a dot on her head. But Natsume, the name Mikan was a big word to he. Still, their first impression still lasted. Mikan's curiosity about Natsume and Natsume's love for Mikan was still there.
In an important Sunday for Natsume, he wanted to be early to go to Mikan's village. He wanted to ask Mikan something but was to shy. But he had to go there, he had to ask her or it would be too late. She might move for next year and leave him. He wouldn't have the chance to tell her what he felt, so he came.
There, as usual, she put him in a trance and is lost in time. He doesn't realize the things happening to him, all he knows is that he's there, and she's there, that's all. Suddenly, he remembered why he was so early to be there, he was going to invite Mikan and her friends to his birthday. He didn't have the guts to ask her, so her aunt did. Since Natsume was afraid to be rejected by Mikan, he made her aunt ask her parents instead. "It's better if they rejected me than her." he assumed. And well, he was right, he was denied, but good thing it was her parents. It's not as if they didn't like him. They do, and by even one look, they know, he'll be the one for her. They believe that and would want him to be her date to her future prom. But, they were just unfortunately busy that day and since he already invited Mikan's friends, he can't back out now. He had to spend his birthday with them, not that it was bad company or anything, but all he thought that birthday is what Mikan was doing at that time.
Weeks have passed and one day, something happened. It was daijavou (I don't know the spelling), the feeling this moment has happened before. It was on a different seat, and Sumire hogged the glory again from Mikan. Mikan was furious, things were already great but Sumire had to ruin her day. She can't do anything again, it was the Lord's house, fighting in there is like committing a mortal sin. Besides, God won't be happy to see that an instrument (figure of speech okay..) of his is creating war. So, Mikan just let the matter slip, even though it was really hard.
That time, Natsume was beside her again. The same things happened like their first encountering. Natsume was still so shy that he can't make a move on Mikan. And Mikan, she was still naïve, she doesn't see what this handsome guy sees of him. She doesn't see how much this guy cares and how much he'll do just to make her happy. Still, even if she doesn't see the real him, she still thinks of him as a complicated guy. She really wants to know what it is bothering Natsume. Natsume may look nice and shy, but there's more to him that meets the eye. Natsume got to see Mikan more, and that's the same with Mikan but she was definitely curious, she wanted to know what was up with him. Still, he can't see his true feelings. She was blinded. She couldn't see his love. All her problems blocked Natsume's feelings for her. Pity, despite Natsume's hardships in life, he still got through it because she had an inspiration, Mikan.
When the night ended, the same things still happened, Mikan's parents teased her off him. And Natsume's aunt still promised that she'd help him. It's not as if this happens every Sunday, yes it does. Mikan's parents and Natsume's aunt always do this every Sunday, even if nothing interesting happens to them. Sure, at times, they bump each other while lining of for communion or if Mikan accidentally falls something. But, that wasn't such a big deal, except to Mikan's parents, Natsume's aunt and Natsume. Mikan's the only one not making a big deal out of it, or is she? She still doesn't understand what it is they're trying to say. "What is it?" Mikan says alone in her bedroom. "Why do they always tease me, I don't see anything special he does, he's just a normal boy with extraordinary feelings. But, why do I always think of his feelings, why do I want to know what he is like. Am I just concerned..or is it something else."
A\N: Sorry it's pretty short, that's what really happened,(well kinda..) but surely the other chapter will be longer. I promise. So please, easy on the comments okay? Thanks!
