Chapter 19- A White Day gift from Devon

Bus ride back to Gakuen Alice

Mikan recently realized her feelings for the ebony haired boy.

Why am I so dense? She thought to herself dejectedly. Kami-sama must really hate me.

Sneaking a glance at Devon, she found herself blushing.

And I had to realize that I love him now.

The ice caster turned his gaze lazily towards her. "What?" He asked.

Startled a bit, Mikan turned her gaze away from him. "Nothing, I just wanted to thank you, again."

Devon didn't say anything for a while.

Mikan shifted uncomfortably on her seat.

"Your welcome. Please know I'll always be there for you." He whispered suddenly, his voice was so soft that Mikan had to strain her ears to hear him. "I'll always protect you, no matter where, no matter when."

"Eh?" She said surprised. "What do you mean?"

The ebony haired boy didn't answer. It didn't take long for her to realize he had put his I pod on.

The chocolate eyed girl shook her head mentally and continued to think. Devon was actually thinking too, but what they didn't know was both of them were thinking the same thing:

I wonder … He thought.

What would happen ...she thought

If I...

Confessed To you…

How would you react? They both finished in their minds.

Westfield Academy, The next Day

Devon was sitting near the lake when he suddenly remembered something.

Wait, tomorrow is White Day. I should get something for Mikan. She did give me chocolates last time.

With that in mind, Devon got up and headed toward the stores.

.

After passing by many stalls, he found a jewellery shop. Devon entered it and all the female customers and staff gawked at the attractive ice eyed boy.

"God, I'd give up my boyfriend for him."

"I want to go out with him."

"If only I was 40 years younger,"

Devon shuddered at the last sentence, well wouldn't you? I mean, the lady was 60!

He started glancing at each of the jewellery. Something caught his eye; it was a white butterfly shaped pendant with shining russet stones at the side.

This matches her eyes, it sparkles the way hers does. Devon thought and decided to buy it.

"Excuse me miss, I want to but this." He said.

The lady nodded. Devon paid for it and retreated back to his dorm.

White Day

He started his daily routine and placed Mikan's gift into his coat pocket and proceeded to go to the lake.

So there Devon was, leaning against the trunk of the tree reading his new book. He then heard a familiar voice.

"Ah, this place is relaxing." Mikan said stretching her arms. Devon only stared at her. She turned her head.

"Oh, hi Devon."

"Hn." Oh right the gift.

"Come here for a bit" Devon said motioning Mikan to come closer.

"What?" She asked approaching him.

He got the gift out of his pocket and started placing it around her neck. The chocolate eyed girl felt heat rise to her face when he felt his touch.

"There." Devon whispered in her ear. "Perfect."

Mikan felt the butterfly shaped necklace. "Ah, it's so cute, but what's this for?" she asked.

"A return gift for those chocolates," He stated simply.

"Oh, thanks. I like it very much."

Devon smiled. "It reminded me of your sparkling eyes."

The ice caster got the butterfly pendant and kissed it gently. "Happy White Day." He whispered, staring at her eyes.

Mikan blushed. Is it me or has Devon gotten more handsome? She thought.

Devon started to walk away. "See ya, glad you liked it." he said and left.

I'm really in love with him, maybe just maybe, if I open my heart again, maybe happiness is just waiting there. Mikan thought. and maybe, I can move on…
