Chapter 6

Just a little practice, no ham in that. Right?

Mikan's pov

"Ughh.. " I groaned as I laid on the floor. "This is all your stupid idea. Why couldn't you have said that you saved me again because I owed you a debt? You had to run your mouth. I hope you didn't intent to make this as an excuse to use me as your booty call." I grumbled for the nth time.

I could literally hear him roll his eyes. "Shut up will you?" Then he had this thoughtful expression before slapping his forehead. I hope he was thinking about how stupid he is, and not how I spoiled his plan for a booty call. I glared at him; waiting for him to continue how this will all plan out.

I sat up and faced him, staring(or glaring more like) at him from across the table. I snapped my fingers multiple times to try and get his attention. "Oi, if you keep doing that, you'll lose brain cells." I teased.

I coughed before continuing, seeing as how he started glaring right back at me.

"So we act like a couple, we help each other out, and then by the end of next year, we can say you cheated and we broke it off?" I clarified.

"Or you cheated."

I glared harder at him, "No, you."

"You cheated." He said giving me a lazy look.

"No, I will not be the cheater in this fake relationship." I stated.

"Well, when I find a girl that I like," he paused. Seeming as if he was having some sort of dramatic flashback. "I don't want her thinking that I'm a cheater." He finished

I rolled my eyes, "Ditto. Why can't we say we both had a mutual feeling of separation? Or! Or! Say that we were accepted to different colleges; and had to go our separate ways for our career! That way, it's more believable."

He made the same thoughtful expression as before, and started nodding his head. "Yeah, that could work.."

I gave a triumphant smirk. "I'm so much smarter than you." I stated. I looked at my cup of hot chocolate. Wait, I shouldn't be drinking this. I'm on sweets probation after getting that detention on Friday. Ugh, I still can't believe ever since that day; my life took a turn. Is it for the better? I'm finally talking to someone of my own age; that isn't a customer. Maybe.. This is a chance to make a sort of new friendship? No. No..

This jock would never be my friend. What am I even thinking? I don't want to be his friend. He's still that horrible player, that tried implying for me to do something in a classroom. And he still isn't forgiven from breaking that camera. He's the one that calls me an idiot. He's the one that helped at my weakest… Took care of me in my time of need… Saved me from doing something stupid..

I shook my head, and laid on the floor again, curling into a ball. What am I even thinking? I should be hating- no, despising his very presence near me. But.. I can't. Why? Why can't I automatically hate him and everyone like before?

It's because you have some sort of feelings for him.

The voice popped in my head. Feelings? I have feelings for this jerk? No. Lies. I'd never like someone like him. He's a handsome full of himself asshole! Wait-handsome?

I glared at the ceiling. How stupid am I to think of something like that? Am I a love-struck fool?

No. There will be no love in this.. This- whatever this is. Yes. Nothing, there will be nothing. Not even friendship. But I guess in this situation we'll have a mutual feeling of getting along and trust in some way.

"We'll need a backstory, and we'll need to set out some rules." I stated. He gave me this look of boredom. "Hey. I'm just saying. I'm not a bad liar, but I'm horrible when it's just on the spot. I'd rather have everything planned out and thought of before hand."

He sighed before saying, "Say we've been talking through some sort of chat, decided that we so desperately needed to see each other. We started secretly hanging out; started to have feelings and then we started dating. For the dates, make up whatever. Just tell me about them so I can go along with them, but please. Nothing to lovey-dovey or any of that shit. For me; my rules would be one," He held up a pointer finger, "To make it real we'll have to kiss, so let me enjoy getting to kiss you whenever I please." He smirked and I glared but didn't say anything, "Two" he held up another finger. "If you don't want romantic shit, don't be surprised when I do." He paused, "No, be surprised. But not to the point where you're just straight out confused." He added another finger up, "I will not let you put anything on my face; because knowing my friends, they'll try and convince you to do something like that. Oh and that's another one; we're not telling anyone about this being fake you got it? Not my friends, your friends, Aoi or any of our families." I almost flinched at the mention of family.

What family?

I rolled my eyes, "Duh. Are you done yet? And what kind of rule I number two?"

He shook his head, "Shut up. When I have a real girlfriend I want her to know that I was at least an amazing boyfriend. Got it?" I rolled my eyes and gestured for him to continue. "Lastly, since this is fake. Don't ever think that I'd actually start liking you. Vice versa, got it?" Ouch, that stung a bit for some odd reason; but I didn't it show. I was about to speak when he cut me off when I wasn't even able to make one word. "Scratch that, that wasn't last. This one is last; when we start to actually like someone else, we break up. Immediately."

I nodded my head. That one was understandable, but what about the other? "What about the other?" I asked. He shrugged, "Hopefully that person will understand, and get over it. They'll need to fend for themselves or find another relationship." He answered.

"Okay.." I drifted. "Heres my rules: You have to help me, no matter what it is, which includes buying me things and getting some things for me." I heard him groan at my first rule. "You have to wait for me during every class. You have to actually take me out, and let people take pictures so the word spreads faster. But I won't accept any unnecessary touching, i.e" I pointed at by chest area and butt. "No hitting me, that's a big no no." Then I tried thinking of some other rules. "We can make up more rules as we go, I can't think of everything at the moment. Those were just at the top of my head."

He nodded. "Agreed, with some parts. But the rules will be adjusted later on. Oh and when we kiss, no teeth. God I hate when teeth clash. It's painful." I blushed.

No, I didn't blush from anger this time. I'm embarrassed for once. And no, it wouldn't be considered my first kiss or anything. I've had boyfriends before, though not a lot of them went to as far as lip to lip kissing. But when they did, they were just pecks on the lips. Nothing more nothing less. Though now that I think about it, none of them really were special. Just like I was giving my grandpa a kiss on the cheek. It had affection but not really that spark. You know?

"Why are you red..?" I heard him ask. He started smirking, again. "No, reason." I said, and turned my head so I looked out the window. "Oh, I get it. You must've never had your first kiss huh?" He asked, with a hint of laughter in his voice.

I turned and glared at him, "I've kissed guys before!" I answered him. He made this weird face. Like he was almost jealous? Or maybe angry? I'm not sure.. He slid closer to me, so he was right next to me. "Really now?" He said as he leaned, his breath fanning my face. It smelled of peppermint tea. I nodded my head, not trusting my voice.

I have to admit. He's making me nervous. I said I had boyfriends before, but none of them made me nervous when we were this close to each other. That can't mean anything right? Between Natsume and I, I mean. It's probably because we barely know each other. That has to be it.

He put a hand up to my cheek, and his other hand on my hip. I felt him slowly and gently push me down, "Relax. This will just be practice." He softly spoke.

No, no, no. This isn't right. This does not feel right at all… But why am I not doing anything? Why am I not stopping him right not at this moment? I could easily punch him in the face or knee him in the groin and make a run for it. But.. Why am I not doing any if that? Why does it feel like I'm actually… excited to kiss him? This is just for practice right?

Yeah… Practice..

I felt my head lay on the ground with my legs flat on the floor. Both his leg are on either side of me, one hand on my hip and another on my cheek. His elbow(the arm thats holding my cheek) is on the floor keeping his weight off of me. He closed his eyes, and slowly leaned closer.

Come on Mikan, this is your last chance! Fight now!

He's taking advantage of you!

What happened to fighting him if he ever tried to do anything? Come on!

This is your chance.. To get away..

His lips were almost touching mine..

Last… Chance… To fight..

Ah, screw fighting.

His lips lightly touched mine at first. Seemingly waiting for my response. His lips were soft and gentle, moving slowly against mine. It was sweet.

Yeah, screw fighting for now. It's just practice. No harm, right?

I moved my lips to match pace with his. At first it was just gentle, then it started to get aggressive. He nibbled and sucked my bottom lip, wanting me to open my mouth.

Uhh.. Should I? Ah! What the hell am I doing again? How'd it get to this point? Kissing a guy I never met until last week. Hell when we first started talking I fucking punched him in the face! How'd it lead to this?

I felt him starting to get impatient and bit my lip, hard. I groaned, and he took that chance to dive his tongue into my mouth.

That fucking hurt. He's going to get it I swear. I lifted my hands to his shoulders and started to grip his shirt.

Just, not now.

I felt his hand on my cheek go down to my neck, and his other hand travel up to the other side of my neck. Pulling me closer to him, trying to deepen the kiss more. Pfft, like that could happen.

We had a little war, trying to state whos the dominant. I almost won… Okay, maybe not. I found this whole experience.. hot. Extremely, hot.

I moved my hands up to his hair, lacing my fingers through his inky black hair. I like this. If this is how kissing him would be, then I'm all for this fake relationship. Or is that just being hormonal? Yeah, I think it's that. Just being hormonal.

Although I found this extremely exciting, I need to breathe. Like, now. I gripped his hair and started to tug his hair, trying to pull him back. Trying to tell him that I need air. But he didn't want to stop.

He's enjoying this too much, I need to stop. I might pass out. I yanked this time, and was able to get him off of me. I took in a deep breath and then he once again pressed his lips on mine.

No. I'm done playing this game. I yanked again and then pushed him off of me with my legs. I sat up and glared at him. "Practice over, I'm pretty sure that'd be convincing enough to others." I said.

He groaned and rolled to his side, curling into a ball. Oops, did I…? I leaned over and put a hand on his shoulder. "Natsume, are you okay?" I asked with a worried tone. Now I feel bad. I think I hit his family jewels. But, then again he' being a hormonal teenage boy. And wouldn't knock it off.

"Yeah.." He grunted and then carefully sat up. "I'm just absolutely dandy. Just fucking peachy. Not in any pain at all or anything." He said, I could tell his words were just slathered with sarcasm. "Hey, I'm sorry, but I tried to hint that I wanted to stop it but you didn't." I glared at him, all the worry of him was thrown out that window.

"Geez, I just thought you were the type that's a bit rough. My mistake." He grunted and then reached over or his probably now cold cup of tea, and took a sip. "I don't think that was a good enough practice. You need more lessons on how to kiss, it was almost like kissing a log for the first bit." He mocked, as he took another sip.

And I being the hot-tempered person I am, grabbed his almost empty cup of tea and slammed it down on the table. I looked at him with a glare, my jaw clenched. "I am, not a bad kisser you ass!" I yelled. He gave me lazy look, with any eyebrow raised. "Really now princess? And how do you think that you can show that?" He mocked, as if he doesn't know where this is heading. I glared harder at him and went on my knees. I leaned towards him and grabbed the collar of his shirt and tugged him towards me, smashing my lips hard onto him. Kissing him aggressively, which he returned with so much vigor. After what felt like a hour,(actually just 3 minutes) I moved away. Which was hard to do, when during some time of the kiss he wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me close. We both stayed like that for a few more minutes, just the sound of our heavy breathing, trying to calm down.

After a while, when I caught my breath I coughed to get his attention, "You can let go of me now." I said. He mumbled something under his breath but I wasn't able to hear him, despite how close I am right now. "Leggo now" I said.

He looked up at me and started to move closer, I gave him a 'No, come any closer I'll bash your face into the wall' look. I was about to, too when I heard the door slam open and the excited thuds of feet in the hallway. "Nii-san I'm home from school!" I heard the cute bubbly voice of Aoi. I was about to answer her but then I realized the position the male Hyuuga and I were in. "Let me go." I said again, but it was already too late.

"Oh my god, Nii-san! What the crap are you doing to her!" I heard Aoi, shriek.

Yup, someone might call the cops. I love how she immediately accused him of this situation instead of me. Though when I think about it, he is the one who started it. I can see Aoi and I getting along just fine. I smiled a little bit at that thought. I could probably mess with him with this. But for now, I have to find a way to get back to my own home. "Hey Aoi," I said casually. I looked over at her and smiled, as I wrapped my arms around his neck, and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Continue the discussion next time? But until them, I'd like to say that you should tell Aoi about us." I said the last sentence a bit louder so she could hear me talking about her. Then whispered, "It'd be great to start this plan off somewhere right?"

After that, I unwrapped his arms that were around me and stood up. I picked up my school bag that I left on the floor and turned towards Aoi and gave her a smile. "Bye, Aoi! Try not to give him too much trouble yelling, okay?" I winked and then walked to grab my shoes. I heard Aoi's high pitched giggle, as she nodded her head. After I put my shoes on I headed out the door and stretched my arms as I got into the elevator. Aoi and I will get along real well. I can tell, after all she's pretty cool in my book.

Though I find it quite sad that I haven't made a friend since ever, and when I do, it's a 12 year old younger sister of the infamous Natsume Hyuuga. Once I got to my own room, I made food and then got ready for bed.

As I layed in bed, the happenings of today started to hit me full force. How I picked a fight with the school's most known psychopath and slut. But what stood out the most of today was when I had my little 'practice kiss' with Natsume. No, scratch that it wasn't a kiss. More like a full blown make out session.

I blushed. I've never kissed a guy like that before. Not even any of my ex's kissed me like that. They were always simple pecks on the cheeks or lips. This couldn't mean anything right? It doesn't mean I like him, I just like the way he kisses is all. He is after all, an amazing kisser.

Then I realized; this is only for show. Don't get too caught up in anything. Focus on the things at hand for right now. I sighed and buried my face into my pillow. I still need to make an excuse about the Tono thing and I'll need to come up with idea dates. Or I can have Natsume do something about the Tono thing. Hopefully this means he'll stop giving me those creepy looks. I seriously don't want any of that. It freaks me out.

I shook my head and rolled onto my side. I looked out the window and gazed at the beautiful moon. Tonight was it was a waxing gibbous. Although I favored full moons, I still found this phase to be beautiful.

I rolled my eyes, I'm getting off my topic. How'd I start thinking of the moon? I cracked a smile to myself.

I'm going totally insane.

I'm sorry! I thought I'd have this done yesterday, or something but then I got super tired and was like, fuck it I'm sleeping. Haha.. Any who, I've already started on the next chapter!

And I'm sorry if you find any errors! Oh and I'm a bit off from my road map of a plot, so I might be changing some things up. Don't worry though, I'm sure you guys will love it. ^-^

So until next time!
