... "I love you..." thats what I said to him amidst our love making that came out of nowhere... he hates me! What purpose does Natsume have by doing something like that! He's probably just messing with my feelings... 

I cant face him.. not now.. not after what happened... so... the only option is toooooo (drum roll please)..

Avoid him!

Yeah.. that should work! Totally.. if I don't see him I don't have to get flustered or worried about what he might think of me... Arashi teases me over it.. of course she knows, girl talk is girl talk yknow?

... She said he's totally into me.. but I'm not sure... when I pass him in the halls he barely spares me a glance... and I think my worry got to my brother.. because he's questioning me like there's no tomorrow! But of course I can't just go on and tell him "oh yeah. I screwed around with one of the former 5 Eccentrics". That won't fly well at all...

Day after day I spent my time in my office, working, working workin, sewing, sewing, sewing. Basically anything to keep me busy and keep my mind away from Natsume..

What i didn't realize is I worked way past school hours, and sometimes even fell asleep at my desk. Maybe it was really the.. best... solution... but its the one that works!

And that's what led me to today. Another day of sorting through papers, accepting and rejecting merch or collaboration offers, and staring at a screen in a dark room. Definitely ideal... its 6 p.m.. maybe I should take a power nap? 

I set my alarm on my phone and fell asleep... my dream was warm.. and cozy. The faint smell of flowers mixed with the slightest hint of cinnamon.. and a bit of chemicals filled my nose... even in my sleep I seemed to be drawn toward that smell...

My alarm started blaring and I quickly sat up. "Crap! How long has it been going off?!" I yelp, staring from my phone to the time on my computer. "Shiit...", something fell with a small thump behind me.

A... lab coat...? When did that get here..? Whatever, I can't afford anymore distractions.

[Morning]

I snort awake at my desk, noticing a batch of [favorite pastry] on a napkin. Anzu must've made them for me.. it's about the time she comes to school anyways. I grab one and take a bite.

"Mmm... so yummy!" I hum happily, taking another bite. "I'll have to thank Anzu later.."

-    -

"I didn't bake you anything today..."

"Eh?"

I stare, feeling a little silly.. she.. didn't bake those [favorite pastry] I found on my desk this morning?

"I didn't. And if I did, don't you think I would have woken you up? I keep telling you not to sleep at your desk," Great. She turned this into a scolding. 

"Sorry Anzu..."

"Look, just because you are related to Eichi doesn't mean you can just neglect everything I say, I'm the head producer therefore you should at least try and listen to me..?"

I nod along, shuffling my feet back and forth in embarrassment. Arashi speaks up, a smirk on her gosh flawless face.

"But it still stands. If it wasn't An-Chan, then who?? Perhaps it was Nat—"

I cover her mouth and glare, "Don't! Nope! We refrain from using the n word here!!" I whisper-yelled, making Arashi laugh a little.

"Yeah? Well he's looking~"

Blush creeps across my cheeks and I hide my face on Anzu's shoulders, "Is he still there...?"

The brunette sighs, "No... your fine n/n.." I breathe a sigh of relief.

– – 

The rest of the day proceeded normally, and it was time for another evening of filing through work. Anzu usually helps, but today she had some family business going on so she excused herself. 

My phone played through some of the songs I had saved, I forgot I had 'Magic for your "Switch"' on here until it played. I was tempted to skip it.. but for some reason I let it play..

"The sky looks the same as usual

But is that the truth?"

Gosh.. Natsume's voice.... DAMMIT NO! I slumped down in my chair as the song keeps playing. And subconsciously I start to sing along.

"It should be painted anew in your eyes"

"It's alreADY painted anEW"

Hold on.. that wasn't my voice.. I turn to the doorway, and fall out of my seat in the process.

"N-Natsume?!"

He lets out the softest chuckle and helps me up, "SurprisED to SeE me?" He hums, staring at me with those stupidly beautiful yellow eyes..

"Yeah kinda... I mean.. we haven't seen each other since..." she trails off, and Natsume holds up a finger.

"CorrectiON, YOU haveN'T sEEn ME since ThEn.." I tilted my head in confusion, "Are YOu ThAT stupID?" He frowns.

I think hard. Harder then I probably should.. hold on.. the lab coat.. the smell in my dreams.. even the [favorite pastry] this morning....

"FigUREd it OuT, KiTten?"

"I don't know what to say..." maybe I'm taking this all wrong... he isn't doing this because he likes me... is he..?

"HOw abOUt startING to agREe to nOT sPENd nightS in yOUr offiCE? It'S BAd for your heALTH," Natsume scolds.

I look up at him, my brows furrowed in confusion, "How long has this been going on.. where you come visit me when I take my power naps.."

He goes quiet, the slightest bit of blush on his face, "SiNCE Anzu SAid yOU spEND hOUrs in here JusT To AvOID thINKing about me..?"

That had to be several weeks ago! Natsume's been... right by me all this time...? Why in the world would he do that..?

"So your being a creep?"

"ItS calLED beiNG worRIED." He corrects, flicking her forehead.

"Worried? Please. You don't have to lie,"

He gave me a surprised look, "Do yOU beLIVE im lyING?"

I shrug, and Natsume sighs, leaning in close to my face. "AfTER everyTHING thaT happEND..? YoU thINK I hATE you.. dONT yoU?" His voice gave way to sorrow, and his golden eyes looked upset.

"Don't you?"

He grabbed my shoulders, "YoU wiSH to knOW tHAT ansWER?" I nod, and the next thing I know.. his lips are on mine... nothing aggressive.. just... soft... and.. filled the genuine emotion..

I pulled away, staring at him in disbelief, "I.." the red haired male shushed me.

"Do yOU beLIVE me nOW..?" His voice was soft as he pressed his forehead to mine.

"You.. really don't hate me? Even knowing that I'm a Tenshouin?"

"WhO giVES a crAP abOUt thAt?"

Hearing that.. I couldn't be happier.. So I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tight.

"Im glad..." 

He pinched my cheek, "NoW wILL you STOp overWORKing yourSELF?" I nod and Natsume smiles, kissing my cheek. "GooD... gOD I lOVE you..."

My heart fluttered at the sudden statement, I smiled sheepishly. "Love you too?" Natsume sputtered and looked away, blushing red as his hair..

"YeAH yeAH...."
