Letters for You
"It's done! I can't believe it. I did it!" Mikan said excitedly. Partly amazed that she actually finished what she planned. She stood up and walked to the drawers that contains the final thing she needs, an envelope and a stamp kicking away all the crumpled papers scattered on the floor along the way.
Taking the two things in her hand, she walked back to the desk and sat. Making the final check on the letter.
" Okay. Not to personal nor nosy. A little humor. No annoying comment. Nothing creepy like sentence. Alright", she muttered, at last satisfied with the contents after a few failed attempts. She inserted the paper, sealed the envelope and wrote the address.
"Oh, it's already that late?" she said, a little shocked looking at the clock at the corner of the desk. She was too much into writing the letter not noticing how the time passed. Before she realized, it was already pass midnight.
" Well then, I'll post it the first thing tomorrow" Mikan said yawning. She glanced at the sealed envelope one last time and turned off the lights.
Morning came. It was normal for Sakura Mikan to wake up early. But for her to go out as early was a miracle. Specially on a Saturday morning not a Saturday without classes. Mikan hummed as she strutted around the kitchen making some hot coffee for herself
"And where the hell are you going this early …" mumbled Hotaru dragging her feet to the kitchen obviously disturbed by the noise made.
"Oh, Hotaru! Good morning. I'm going to post this!" Mikan answered ecstatically. Not making any effort to hide her excitement and thrill. She showed Hotaru the letter she completed last night.
"You really did it, huh" Hotaru said, slightly impress,."Well, since you're going out. Go get some bread and milk on your way. I'm going back to bed", she said as she dragged her feet back to her bedroom.
"Okay!" Mikan beamed as she exits their room. She jogged her way to the convenient store and purchased what was asked. Well, and a few snacks with them. Then, the moment finally came. Mikan puts down the bag of the thing she bought and slipped her hand into her pocket. She made the last inspection, checking if she got the address right
' Oh god. I'm really doing this. I guess it's a bit reckless. Oh well, too late to turn back now. Too much paper wasted if I don't do this. Alright. GO!' She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and pushed the letter in her hand into the box. Breathing out, she opened her eyes.
" I did it! I sent it!" Mikan talked to herself full of relief. She put her hand together in front of the box ' Please, please arrive safely. Hyuuga Natsume, whoever you are, I hope you're a good person' she prayed. "Alright then, let's go back" she said as she make her way back to the apartment.
A few days later…
"Urgh… Stupid sister", a man groaned, ruffling his already messy hair. He crept to the kitchen sink, washed his hand and threw his shirt to the laundry pile. His sister had to barge into his apartment and start blabbering about her day at school. When she realized he was not even listening, she decided to do something to gain his attention. She threw her drink at him before stomping away.
'Guess she didn't have a great day, huh' he commented in his head. He went to get some cloth to wipe the spill on the floor. He looked at the corner of the kitchen where he puts bread and cereals.
Cereal's almost gone. The man sighed as he took the keys and his coat then made his way out to the nearest store taking his own sweet time not having anything else to do for the rest of the day.
Leaves rustling as he take his steps. Winter was almost near and the air is getting cooler. Aside from that, everything was like any other day.
Reaching the store, he went straight toward the cereals section. Taking the ones he usually have, he brought it to the counter. Suddenly, a vibration was felt in the man pocket, followed by ringing. He studied the name displayed before sliding the screen answered his phone.
"What,Ruka?", he said to the phone.
"Hey Natsume, want to hang out some time tonight?" the voice from the caller answered.
There was a short silence before Natsume replied "Fine. Where at?"
"The usual place at 9?", Ruka suggested. Again a short silence followed before Natsume gave a simple "Hn" then he hung up. He looked at the cashier who had already finished scanning the goods. After paying, he returned to his apartment.
As he walked into his apartment building, he glimpse at the mailbox. He stopped his steps and stared at it. He made his way to the mailbox and opened it. He took everything existing in it and continued his way to his place.
A clicking sound vibrated in the air as the key was turned before the door opened and Natsume entered his apartment. He tossed his keys into a bowl on the table next to the door and threw the mail he got on the coffee table.
With a cup of coffee in his hand, he sat on his couch and browsed through the mail. Some ads and bills. Finding nothing interesting, he tossed it back onto the table when a blue envelope fell to the floor.
Natsume bent and picked up the the said thing. Studying it. 'It's hand written' was his first thought. A bit curious, he ripped it open. A letter? Really? Who sends letters now? Postcards or card maybe. But letters? Who? Those was his thoughts after looking at the papers inside.
He began reading the contents. 'Kyoto? Who's address?' Natsume took the last page of the letter and looked at the sign.
Mikan? He knew no Mikan. A lost letter maybe? He chuckled lightly, what a waste of time. But then, he saw a glimpse of what he thought was his name. He started to read the whole contents.
Kyoto
25 October 20XX
Hello there. Please to be acquainted. How do you do? I hope you are well. Well, first of all, I'm sorry to be so abrupt suddenly sending a letter to you. I doubt you know me, for I to don't know you. Though I'm sure that's obvious from what I've already said. My name's Mikan Sakura and I believe you are Natsume Hyuuga?
That was the beginning of the letter. The rest of the letter was about the weather and her expectations on the occurrence for her whole week. Well, it's clear that the girl doesn't know me. That or this girl is a stalker or a this might just be a prank. After reading the letter he threw it back onto the table deciding to put it behind him. He leaned back to his couch and turned on the television.
"So, anything new, Natsume?" asked Ruka to his friend sitting in front of him as he scoops his salad.
"Yea. Got anything interesting going on, Natsume? " followed Koko grinning only to received nothing from the lad.
"Thought so" nodded Kitsuneme as he gulped his drink.
"You should try something different, man. Do something fun for a change!" said Koko laughing. Still getting nothing from Natsume.
The rest of the meal was just Ruka talking about his week, Koko and Kitsuneme's attempt to make joke of everything. After that, Ruka decides to go back with Natsume and Koko went with Kitsuneme.
"Man, it's been long since I came here" sighed Ruka leaning on the couch.
"Right, you were just here last week", Natsume snorted as he threw the keys and followed suit.
Ruka looked at the pile of mails and mangas scattered on the table. "Don't you throw away these things?" Ruka asked hold some in his hand. Flipping some as if searching anything interesting in the pile.
"About to do that." Natsume answered, taking his place next to Ruka before switching on the television.
A ripped envelope caught his attention. He stretched his hand to reach it. "What's this?" questioned Ruka, now holding it in his hand. "A love letter?" he said again.
Natsume looked at what Ruka was holding. "A mail from someone I don't know, a stalker or a prank." He answered before he resumed watching the screen.
Ruka opened the folding and started reading. " Sakura Mikan. Looks like the person she got your address from knows you. And from the looks of it, she sounds fun", commented Ruka.
"Are you going to rewrite to her?" Ruka asked.
"Rewrite what?" Natsume asked back.
"The letter. Reading the last few lines it's clear that she expects you to reply, man" answered Ruka.
"Nope" stated Natsume as he stood up and went to get some drinks. Ruka's eyes never leaving Natsume.
"Why?"
"I don't know her", Natsume responded blankly.
"Neither does she", Ruka retorted back.
"It's a waste of time", said Natsume.
"Come one, Natsume. It seems fun. Who knows she could be a nice person It's just a letter" Ruka said again.
"No"
Finally giving in, Ruka stood up, he looked at his watch and went to the door. "Well. Do whatever, Natsume. I'm going back", he said as he open the door. "Just write something short or something" Ruka continued before closing the door and go on his way.
Natsume just grunted and glanced at the blue envelope before putting away his cup and went to bed.
The door chime rings as two man exit a bookstore. As the two man walk, one of them asked ," So, did you rewrite to that mail you got last week?"
"No" was the only word said by the other man.
"You're no fun, Natsume" the man said back chuckling. The rest of the walk was just spent in silence
Mikan just got home from her last class of the day. Exhausted, she jumped on the couch and cuddle with her favorite stuffed bear. Feeling slightly relieved, she walked toward the kitchen to get some water to quench her thirst.
She brought her cup with her back to the couch and flumped back. Looking at the counter top, she strutted there and picked up the news. She loved the puzzles in the newspaper. As she turned to go back to the couch, another thing caught her interest. She took it and opened it.
A gush of joy filled her whole heart. She slammed open the Hotaru's room door and tackled her to the bed.
"Hotaru, I got a reply!" Mikan squealed.
Okay. Thanks again for reading
