"Natsume, you really have no choice so stop being stubborn!" I said as I struggled to make him wear my old clothes. While we were outside awhile ago, one of my neighbors accidentally slipped and splashed water onto him. He has no other clothes except the big ones so I have to lend him my old clothes.

"No! I'm not going to wear it!" he said. Ah little Natsume is really adorable even though he lacks manners! Oh my… am I becoming a shotacon?!

I showed Natsume the creeper look while holding onto him. I was on top of him and he can't do anything about it because he's a midget now and I'm bigger."Stop stuggling Natsume, it'll be over soon. Mwahahaha!"

(Me: W-wait! I think I sounded like a total perv back there. Rewind! Natsume: The damage has been done. Narrator: Unbeknownst to them, grandpa was already opening the door to Mikan's room.)

"Mikan, dinner's rea— W-what are you two doing?!"

"I… we… he… t-this is not what you think grandpa!" I broke apart from Natsume. Why do I always end up in embarrassing positions with Natsume wherever I go?!

"Just because no one saw doesn't mean nothing happened" Natsume said. He then coughed for a few seconds and then walked away.

I looked at grandpa warily but he wasn't listening anymore because he fainted. Uwaaaaaa… what am I going to do?!

"My Mikan's already at that age huh?" Grandpa said few minutes after he woke up. I was helping him calm down his nerves by giving him more tea.

"Y-you got it wrong, grandpa!" I said. "Natsume's clothes were wet so I was helping him change"

"Oh, is that so?" he asked. His tone sounded as if nothing happened and he wasn't even worried anymore. "Where is that boy anyway? The food's getting cold."

Knock knock!

"Coming!" grandpa said.

"I'll just call Natsume grandpa" I said and walked upstairs. Now, now, what could Natsume be doing? I couldn't really hate him especially when he's a midget.

"Natsume, are you here?" I said and gently opened the door to the guest room. I wandered over and saw Natsume sleeping soundly. Now, this is unusual. Natsume and calm can never connect but here it is, in flesh!

"Hmmmmnnnnn" Natsume started trashing and I tried to wake him up. Holy guacamole! He's hot! No, no guys! He's hot… literally.

"Where else are you hurting?!" Is this because of the juice? Oh no! Oh wait. He got wet awhile ago, right? Ugh. I'm so foolish!

"Why do you even bother? Leave me alone, tweety birdy" he said weakly. I chuckled a little. He still calls me that even though he's this vulnerable. This guy can be stubborn at a wrong time.

I searched for grandpa and found him inside his room. "G-grandpa! Natsume is sick! Eh? Why are you packing up?"

"Well, my best friend invited me to go on a hot spring trip with him because his free ticket is going to expire tomorrow so we had to go today. Sorry Mikan. I'll bring you souvenirs okay?"

"But Natsume is sick!" I said.

"You're a big girl now. You can take care of him yourself. And I'll make sure to bring you herbs when I come back okay? Get him to eat the food I cooked. Ja!" he said and ran away.

"Geez grandpa" I sighed. It's a good thing that Grandpa cooked some soup. This will help Natsume. I gathered some hot water and a towel and brought it to the room. Natsume was sleeping again. I'll try to be discreet as possible. I wouldn't want him to wake up and pull his attitude on me again.

I tended to Natsume as much as I can. I even changed his clothes. His fever won't come down if he continues to wear those wet clothes. Hehe. I can blackmail him with that info.

It was two in the morning when his fever went down a little. I was still in the process of putting the towel on his forehead when he stopped my hand from doing so.

"You're awake? I'll get you some soup, okay?" I stood up.

"Why?" he asked and I stopped on my tracks.

"Eh?" I asked.

"Why are you doing this? I've never been nice to you so why?"

"You don't have to be nice to me for me to help you. You're sick and I'm not going to leave you like that" I said and picked up the soup from the table. Luckily, he ate it without any ado.

"You're like my mom" he said before he slept.

The next day, Natsume was well again. Also, he and I started to become civil. He didn't insult me on a regular basis no more. I guess this is how he expresses his gratitude. I can't really fathom him at all.

"Mikan! What is this? When did you bring a guy into the house?! Oh noooooooo my Mikan's a grown up lady now" grandpa said as soon as he arrived.

Oh geez. I'm tired of explaining things. Oh yeah, he went back to being a big guy sometime between midnight and morning.
