I walked through the front door and into the living room where I saw all the girls grinning at me. I kept quiet. I was still shocked about what happened earlier.
"Did you do it?" Sumire broke the silence.
I just nodded and the girls, except Hotaru, squealed. I was still blushing. I walked over to the coach and landed between Anna and Hotaru. Aoi, Nonoko and Sumire came over and sat on the floor in front of us.
"Tell us what happened." Aoi giggled.
I described the kiss in every little detailed, while blushing like crazy. I had described where he kept his hands, how he had pushed me towards him, the staring contest before, his lips, his warmth... even his... tongue. They all just laughed at me for taking the dare too seriously. I placed a few fingers on top of my lips, still red like a tomato.
"But it's funny..." Aoi mumbled. I looked at her.
"What is?"
"Well, onii-chan said that he rejected all those girls that followed him because he didn't like them. He said that he'd never kiss if he didn't feel anything for her." My eyes got wide as when she said that. The other girls just cheered and laughed even more. I stared at Aoi.
"Natsume hates me!"
"Apparently not, idiot!" Hotaru said. Sumire took my hand and made me give her a high five. I just sat there, speechless. The scene wouldn't exit my mind.

Later that night, I was alone in the living room. The other girls were sleeping in my room, but I just couldn't fall asleep. It was 4AM when I heard the front door open. I saw six guys entering the door and they stopped when they saw me.
"Mikan-chan, why are you still up?" Ruka asked me. I gave them a weak smile and just shook my head.
"Can't sleep." I told them.
Koko and Kitsu walked over to me and sat on each side, Koko on my left and Kitsu on my right.
"Did you miss us too much?" Koko asked mockingly. I laughed.
"Of course! You expect me to survive without you?" I played along.
"Aw, Mikan-sama! We'll never leave you again!" Kitsu said dramatically, holding hands over his heart.
Koko and Kitsu got up and stood in front of me before kneeling down onto one knee. Koko took my left hand and Kitsu took my right. They kissed my hands as if I was a lady. All of us started to laugh. Yuu, Tsubasa and Ruka laughed as well, having witnessed it all. Tsubasa walked over to us and picked up one of the movies. I smiled when it wasn't the horror movie.
"Shall we watch this?" he suggested. I smiled at him. These guys really know how to make me feel better. To my surprise, Natsume joined in as well. We started to watch one of the comedies. Koko and Kitsu sat on the floor in front of us. Tsubasa sat in one of the bean bags and Yuu sat in the other one. Ruka sat down to my left and Natsume sat down on my right. That made me a little nervous, since the scene of our last meeting was still replaying in my mind. I didn't look at him. Koko had the popcorn bowl in his lap, eating a lot. I giggled at him. All of a sudden, my stomach growled and I blushed in embarrassment. Five boys laughed at me, while the last one stopped me from getting up and went to the kitchen. Ruka winked at me and told me to wait a little. 20 minutes later, the guy came back. I grinned when I saw the plate of pancakes he was carrying. He sat down again and gave me the plate.
"Thank you!" I grinned and started eating.

A few weeks later, I woke up really early on a Sunday. I went downstairs and found Natsume in the kitchen. He seemed to be making breakfast. We had another fight about something stupid last night before I went to bed.
"Need any help?" I asked. Natsume turned around.
"Hn." He turned around again. I walked over to him and saw him frying some French toast.
"That smells really good." I said.
He looked at me, but didn't say anything. I sighed.
"Are you still mad at me for last night?"
He still didn't respond.
"Listen, I'm sorry! I just answered so you wouldn't miss the call. Was it so horrible? I tried to do something nice."
"I'm not mad at you."
"Then what is it?"
"The caller... heard a girl's voice and will now be coming here."
"Oh... And I guess you don't want that person to visit. I'm really sorry. If you want, I could find a place to stay for a few days so I won't be here when that person is. Then I can't make it worse, right?"
"Fried or scrambled eggs?" He asked out of the blue.
I was surprised when he suddenly asked that. "Umm... Both?"
He nodded and went to the refrigerator and got milk, eggs and bacon. I got out the plates and started setting the table with everything I thought would be used. After 15 minutes, the eggs and bacon were done and we ate in silence.
"Drive today?"
I looked up surprised. Natsume was hiding his face behind the news paper. I smiled.
"Yeah. Thanks."

Later that day, after fighting with Natsume about my driving and then making up again a few hours later, the boys, Aoi and I went out to eat at an Italian restaurant for dinner.

"Natsume?" we heard a voice behind us.
Natsume, Yuu and I turned around, since we were the ones not facing where the voice came from.
"It really is you!" I stared at the beautiful person that all of a sudden ran over and hugged Natsume tightly.
"Get away from me." Natsume tried to get the person to let go but he wasn't able to. I gulped when I received a murderous glare from the person.
