Mikan's P.O.V

Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. That is all I can feel. Every cell in my body, and every nerve screams for me to put them out of their misery. But I cant.

Then all the pain washes away.

I can tell I have been given morphine, by the way that I feel so numb and my head is so foggy.

I don't know what this urge is, but I want to be held. I tear my eyes open to see a nurse by me, messing with the IV in my arm.

"Natsume." I slur.

In a second, he is on my left side.

"Natsume," I slur again.

"Mika, what do you need?" he asks quietly. Wow, he is willing to do what I want. That is rare.

"Natsume," I say, yet again.

He sighs and puts his hand on my head.

"Kiss me." I slur.

He doesn't waste a second in doing so.

I hum into his kiss, loving the way that I cant feel my heart clenching and aching.

He was about to pull away, when I grab his head, making sure he cant get away. He groans.

He pulls away sharply.

"Mikan. don't do this to me. Shut up and sleep now." he growls at me.

"I don't want to," I say, pouting.

"Mikan," he warns. "You have a life threatening injury. Sleep." he is commanding me now.

"Still a jackass," I mumble under my breath as I throw my blanket off to reveal bandages covering my chest all the way past my belly button and my underwear.

I close my eyes, and before long, I am put into a drug induced sleep.

Natsume's P.O.V

The true Mikan always shows when she is sick or under the influence of drugs. The innocent one. The funny and crazy one. The affectionate one. I love to see her like that.

"Where is Mikan?" asks Hate as he burst into the room. The 'Olsen Twins' and the quiet one follow.

"Where do you think, Dipshit?" I growl as I tuck the blanket back around her.

"Is she okay?" he asks as all of the boys rush around her bedside.

"Shuddup. Im just fine. You bitches worry to much. Just like chicks." Mikan mumbles as her eyes reopen. How she woke back up, that's a mystery to me.

Thief eagerly crawls into bed next to her and she tucks him under her blanket and snuggles against him.

"Hey there, honey. All I need to make it perfect is a milkshake. Those make every thing perfect." she says. And before we can say another word, she is asleep.

I sigh and pat her head again.

"How bad was it?" Hate asks quietly.

"She was about dead. They patched her up and gave her meds. She is expected to be okay." I say quietly.

Hate looks at her and sighs.

"I think that a milkshake sounds good." says Silver. We just ignore him.

"She has to be ready to do missions tomorrow." Greed says.

"Hell with that. She needs to heal." I spit.

"She is lucky that she gets today. They don't care if she lives. She is like all the people here, reusable." Hate says.

This place is truly sickening.

"What if she dies?" I ask.

"Then she dies. Its as simple as that." Greed says.

She is like an animal. Not a human. She should be placed on a pedestal, worshiped for her talent, beauty and personality. Or what's left of it.

Now, were all dirt. No one is better or worse. Just more or less useful.

"Neh, Natsume? Am I pretty?" Mikan asks Natsume. They are both sitting on Natsume's bed, doing homework.

He doesn't even look up.

"Natsume! I knew you didn't think I was." Mikan says, pouting. She just wanted to know if she thought she was pretty. Prettier girls flocked around him every day, yet he was hers.

"No, your not," Natsume says simply.

"Fine! Then Ill just leave." Mikan says as she throws her books into her bag. She is walking off when she feels something hit the back of her head. She turns around and picks up the folded piece of paper and unfolds it.

Pretty is good enough. Your so much more then that. It says.

"Ahhhh, Natsume!" Mikan yells as she runs back over to him and tackles him.

"I love you, Natsu," she says as she kisses him lightly.

"Hn," he says, as he tries to kiss her again. She pulls back.

"Say it," she warns. Natsume sighs.

"I love you," he mumbles.

"Same," she beams, smiling. She kisses him again.

And it was true.

Mikan wakes up groggily and looks around her. She knows that she is in the hospital, and what happened to her, but her mind is still so fuzzy.

"Morning sunshine!" says Silver brightly.

"Shuddup!" Mikan yells as she holds her head. She tries to sit up, but she is found unable to because of the burning pain throughout her stomach and chest.

"Come on, Mikan. Sleep for now. Ill be here when you wake up." says Natsume as he pushes me back down and pats my head. It isn't long before I am, once again, asleep.

Going on vacation, sorry its so short! Please don't be mad. Thanks so much for reading.
