Chapter 14 : Precious
Knock, Knock, Knock.
"Just stay on your bed Mikan, I'll open the door." Ruka said, standing up from where he was seated, which is Mikan's bed, and start to walk to the door.
"I think it will be the doctor." Mikan thought aloud.
Ruka smiled. "Perhaps." He replied lightly, opening the door.
Standing behind the door was a woman in her early 20s, wearing a white coat over her dark blue t-shirt and tight pencil skirt. She has a shoulder length, smooth raven hair, contransting her pale skin perfectly. But the most intimidating are no other than her amethyst eyes. They look so cold, and emotionless at the same time, which make Mikan shiver unconsciously.
"Hello Ms. Sakura." The woman said in a velvety voice, she walk inside with proud aura all over her, while her black heels clicking all the way. "I'm Hotaru Imai, Subaru's younger sister. Your usual doctor, Subaru, has some urgent issues so he cannot attend you again for the rest of your stay here in hospital. But he said if he could finish the issues fast, then he would take care of you again."
The room was silent for a long moment, before finally Mikan snap out from her shock and smile at the doctor, Hotaru Imai. "Hi there. So you will be the one who attend me while dr. Subaru is out?"
Hotaru nodded. "Yes. I will be your doctor for now. So could you please sit up so I can check your vitals?'
"Sure thing." Mikan quickly replied.
Although Mikan's stay in the hospital already been three days from the first time she collapsed, and despite the fact that she is healing quite fast for an elf, she still couldn't support her body by herself. She still need help from someone to do anything connected to physical movement.
"Sorry, Ruka." Mikan said sheepishly, holding on his shoulder to balance herself.
Ruka smiled. "It's okay, I'll help you as much as I can."
"I really feel bad for burdening you." She replied while sigh loudly.
"Really, its okay. Just don't stay in the hospital for too long." Ruka chuckled.
"Please step aside, I am going to check Miss Sakura." Came a monotone voice from the doctor.
"Sorry." Ruka mumbled while sitting back on the sofa.
Dr. Hotaru work in a swift and efficient moves. She didn't do much, only checking several things, but enough for her to take some strong conclusions.
"Its seems like you are improving greatly, miss Sakura." Hotaru said, staring at her tablet while pressing here and there. "I predicted that in one or two weeks you will be able to go out from the hospital."
Mikan quickly brighten up. "Really? Thank you so much doctor!"
Hotaru shook her head. "The one who did all the things were my brother. Thank him, not me."
Mikan chuckled and smiled at her. "But now it is you who take care of me. Thank you doctor Imai. I really appreciate your effort."
Hotaru could feel her cheeks heated up by Mikan's sincere grateful feelings, but she quickly hide it by turning around and start to walk towards the door. "You are welcome then." She replied in a clipped tone, vanishing behind the door.
Mikan stared at Ruka, arching her eyebrow. "Did I do something wrong?'
Ruka shook his head and walk up to her, helping her back to the sleeping position. "No, I think she is just shy because your smile is so beautiful."
Mikan rolled her eyes and smack Ruka on the head. "Quit sweet talking, Ruka. Its getting on my nerves. I am serious in asking this."
Ruka chuckled and rub his sore head. "But I'm serious, I think she is shy."
Mikan frowned. "Why?"
Ruka shrugged. "Perhaps because usually no one would say thanks like that to a doctor."
"Are you saying that I did something stupid just now?" Mikan asked with irritated tone.
Ruka laughed. "No, of course not. I mean you are really blunt with your feelings, sometimes people just get uncomfortable with that. But its not a bad thing, its just that conservative people can't get used to it."
"I still don't understand." Mikan frowned, thinking.
Ruka chuckled again. "Don't think too hard about it. You'll get a headache."
Mikan pouted and hit Ruka lightly on his shoulder. "Stop teasing me! I'm not stupid you know."
Ruka grinned. "But I'm serious, Mikan. The only reason is just because you are too blunt with your feeling. Perhaps you can't understand because you are an honest person, but people who tend to hide their feeling understand it very well."
Mikan sighed, finally giving up. "Alright, alright. I'll let it slide for now." Mikan responded, blinking her eyes. "It's weird, I feel really sleepy right now."
"It looks like the medicine starts to work." Ruka replied simply.
Mikan yawn again. "I think I'll sleep for now."
"Sleep then. I'll be here when you wake up." Ruka said sweetly, fixing her blanket.
"Promise?"
Ruka nodded and smile. "Promise."
"Thank you Ruka." Mikan mumbled, before closing her eyes and drift off to the dream land.
"You sleep like a pig, Polka."
Mikan groaned and take a look at the person who sit on the sofa. "Ruka said that he would be here when I woke up. Its not you!"
Natsume rolled his eyes. "That blonde boy ran off somewhere, saying that he wants to ditch you off once in a while because you are such a burden."
"Nice try. But I won't believe such a lousy lie, Hyuuga."
"Call me by my name."
"What?" Mikan opened her eyes again and tried to sit up. "What are you saying?"
Natsume sigh and get up, helping Mikan so she can sit properly with her pillows propped up. "You hear me clearly, Polka."
Mikan puffed her cheeks. "Stop calling me like that! Haven't I told you already that its called sexual harassment?"
Natsume stared at Mikan for a moment, before opening his mouth to reply. "I'll do that if you call me by my name."
Mikan arch her eyebrow. "Are you sane?"
Natsume edge closer, traping Mikan between his muscled hands. His crimson eyes bored deeply into Mikan's. "I am serious. Call me Natsume, not Hyuuga."
Mikan's eyes are wide, as she grips her blanket tighter while her heart beat frantically because of nervousness. They are too close for goodness sake!
"Why should I?" Mikan stared back at Natsume defiantly, although her hands shaking in fear. He look so intimidating this way.
"You called that blonde boy by his name." Natsume answered simply, still locking his eyes with hers.
"B-but thats different! I have known Ruka since childhood, you can't compare yourself and him!"
"I see. So you don't consider me as your friend?" Natsume whispered in a low voice, his bangs covered his eyes.
Mikan gaped. "You consider me as your friend?" Mikan repeated Natsume's question.
"Of course not, stupid. Who wants to be friends with childish woman like you." He grumbled, straightening his posture as he walks back to the sofa.
"You are so weird Hyuuga." Mikan mumbled, rolling her eyes as she slump back to her bed.
"Stop calling me Hyuuga, Polka."
Mikan smiled innocently. "Mr. Pervert then?"
Natsume smirk as unreadable glint passed by his eyes. "You say that I am Mr. Pervert?"
"Yes." Mikan answered confidently.
Natsume chuckled darkly as he gets up again, and approach Mikan's bed for the second time, with his crimson eyes screaming evilness.
Seeing this, Mikan's eyes widen with realizement and she quickly scooted back to evade the incoming pervert monster.
"No!" Mikan shouted. "Get away from me!"
Natsume's smirk become wider as he crawls slowly to the scared girl.
"I'm sorry! You are not a pervert!" Mikan screamed again, hugging herself in the corner.
Natsume arch his eyebrow as he takes a seat beside Mikan, stopping his intimidating games. "So, you have change your mind?"
Mikan nodded furiously, not wanting to be a victim of his perverted mind.
"How about calling me by my name?"
Mikan frowned. "Still? Why are you so eager for me to call you by your name?"
"No reason." Natsume shrugged nonchalantly.
"I don't accept that kind of reasoning," replied Mikan stubbornly.
Natsume edged closer when he heard Mikan's reply, making her sandwiched between Natsume and the wall.
"Do I need to do this again?" Natsume ask in a husky voice, his tantalizing crimson eyes boring straight right into Mikan's hazel one.
"Wh-What are you doing! Y-You are too close!" Mikan stuttered, trying to push Natsume away with her hands, but Natsume catches both of them and hold them firmly in his hands as he moves closer again.
Mikan's eyes widen. She could literally feels Natsume's hot breath on her lips and she can't tear away her sight from his eyes.
Dang. This is not good.
"Say my name, Polka." Natsume said in his low voice.
Mikan bit her lower lip. "What if I don't want to?" She whispered back as an answer.
Natsume smirk, his eyes glinted in an evil way. "Then I will kiss you."
"What?!" Mikan responded immediately. "No! I won't let you take my precious first kiss! Let me go, you pervert!" She struggled, pulling her hands in futile effort.
"I give you three seconds to do it little girl, or I'll do what I want to you."
"You can't do this to me!" Mikan half shouted in frustation.
"Three."
"Hyuuga!"
"My first name Polka."
"B-but – "
"Two."
"Hey!"
"One."
"N-Natsume!"
Natsume quickly turn away and let Mikan's hands go to hide his smiling face. Somehow, hearing his first name from her mouth soothe his heart which has been aching since seeing that blonde boy.
"What's wrong with you?" Mikan grumbled, fixing her position on her bed.
Natsume just smirk and shrugged, walking back to the sofa happily.
He doesn't care what's the meaning behind this stupid feeling, but one thing for sure, he is quite content right now, and that's the most important thing.
