Surrender

Chapter 6: Afternoon Lovers

Mikan lay waiting to see Natsume’s reaction. Her heart pounded as she feared it may not have been from him. She heard a whisper, “Mi—kan…”

His eyes softened as he turned his attention back to the girl lying next to him. Mikan seemed satisfied with his reaction. “It’s an alice stone that I found on my window sill 2 years ago. It has been so special to me since… I never asked you about it because I didn’t think you’d give me a straight answer.” Mikan twiddled her thumbs and blushed. ‘I have to do it!’ She pumped herself up. “It’s your fire alice stone, right?” She asked and cringed, waiting for the reply.

Natsume flashed one of his rare smiles and closed the locket. He set it on the nightstand beside the bed. He gently caressed the brunette’s face and she opened her eyes. He didn’t need to reply, Mikan already knew. She let out the breath she had been holding.

Natsume gently kissed her, and Mikan’s body shook. Natsume could taste her salty tears as she cried in joy. He gently kissed each tear as it slowly fell from an eye. Mikan’s heart felt as if it stopped and she suddenly stopped crying. Natsume took her lips in his and invaded her mouth. Mikan’s heart resumed beating.

Mikan clung to Natsume’s body as they kissed, resuming the passion that had stalled earlier. All the feelings they had been suppressing the past years surfaced and heightened their pleasure.

Mikan felt Natsume’s hands move nimbly to her back, and attempted to unfasten her bra. He had never tried to unhook a bra before, so he had some trouble. He cursed under his breath before he finally got it to unhook. Mikan giggled.

Gently, Natsume pulled each strap down Mikan’s shoulder as he shifted on top of her again. Mikan moaned as he trailed soft kisses down her cheeks, her neck, her shoulders, as he made his way down to her chest. His crimson eyes admired the embroidery on Mikan’s bra before he gently nudged it off each breast.

The air of the room felt cold and crisp to Mikan’s breasts. Natsume tossed her bra on the floor with care. Natsume sweetly kissed the skin between Mikan’s A cup breasts. His soft cheeks caressed each breast and Mikan gasped at the contact. He held her close as he kissed every inch of both breasts. Mikan felt her groin pulse again. Natsume gently nibbled a nipple before licking the area around it. Mikan groaned with pleasure. “Natsume…”

He kissed her mouth again and she couldn’t stand it. She pulled him fully on top of her. His legs rested between hers and she propped a leg on the bed. Pushing down on the bed with her leg Mikan gently pressed herself against Natsume and felt his familiar erection pulsing against her. It drove Natsume crazy. They kissed passionately, Mikan moaning as Natsume tasted her sweetness.

Natsume nibbled at her ear and she felt a shock of ecstasy shoot through her. “I want you, Mikan.” Natsume whispered. He knew it was corny, but his hormones raced through him, testing his will power. ‘If she pulls away, I can stop. I can still stop.’ He thought to himself as he provoked her. To his surprise Mikan responded…

“Natsume…” He took a sharp breath and listened to her next whisper, “Please make love to me…”

His heart began pounding. His body began to respond to her words. Before he lost himself entirely, Natsume had to be sure. “Are you sure?...” He pulled up and his deep crimson eyes met her gorgeous hazel orbs. She gently smiled up at him and nodded. He kissed her briefly and whispered, “There’s no turning back, please be sure…” and Mikan replied without hesitation, “Natsume, make love to me.” With that he aggressively kissed her and explored her mouth.

Natsume slid his hands up Mikan’s outer thighs to the top of her skirt. He quickly unfastened it and slipped if off her legs. The skirt flew across the room.

Mikan pushed him to his side and she proceeded to undo his shorts. Once they were unbuttoned, she unzipped them. For the first time, she brushed against his erected penis. Natsume gasped. He helped her push his shorts down and kicked them off the bed.

They lay together for a moment, Mikan in her silky pink panties, and Natsume in his soft black boxers. Natsume kissed her again. He kissed down her body, making her to pulse in pleasure. He kissed her soft stomach and tickled her belly button with his nose. Mikan groaned at the curious sensation. He made his way to her panties. He gently kissed directly above her panty line. He grabbed the top of her panties with his teeth and gently pulled them down. His fingertips grasped the sides of the panties and followed him pulling them down. As the panties were pulled down, Natsume’s nose brushed her skin that no one had touched before.

“Ah,” Mikan gasped as Natsume finally pulled her panties off and threw them across the room. He caressed her thighs with his hands. Mikan felt a little nervous and opened her eyes to look at him. He met her gaze and kissed her lips lovingly. “You’re beautiful…” Mikan closed her eyes happily, all her worries melted away.

He gently spread her legs apart with his hands. Knowing his anatomy, he easily found her clitoris and touched it lightly. Mikan gasped for air. Natsume smiled as he traced his fingers down to her opening and slowly pushed one in. Mikan began to breathe heavily.

Natsume playfully licked her clit and Mikan moaned in ecstasy. “Natsume!” He took her hand in his and he began to lick her furiously, knowing it was driving her crazy. She tasted sweet and innocent. Mikan squeezed his hand tightly as he continued. With her other hand, she ran her fingers through his black silky hair. As she neared climax, she momentarily pulled his hair before letting go. Her hips pushed forward as she came. A giant spasm thrashed through her body as she moaned, “Ahh… Natsu… me…”

It was over, and her body calmed down. Natsume pulled himself up to her and kissed her. Mikan trailed her fingers at the band of his boxers. Natsume moaned and he kissed her roughly. He quickly ripped off his boxers. Mikan stared at Natsume’s engorged penis. It was the first penis she had ever seen, and she was fascinated.

Nervously, Mikan lightly touched the head of Natsume’s dick. He moaned and she felt it pulse beneath her touch. Mikan grew bolder and gently grasped it in her hand. Natsume’s breath was taken in sharply. She gently stroked the erection and Natsume moaned and took over. He kissed her passionately and gently laid on top of her.

Mikan’s heart pounded hard in her chest. She was breathless. Natsume kissed her neck, “Tell me if I need to stop… or slow down…” Mikan sighed, “Yes…” as she lost herself in his deep crimson eyes. He smiled and kissed her gently. “I love you, Mikan…” He gently whispered, almost inaudible. Before Mikan could even think about replying, Natsume gently thrust himself inside her, taking caution not to go too far.

“Ahh!” Mikan grimaced at the pain and pleasure that shot through her. A single tear fell down her cheek. Natsume felt immense pleasure in her warmth. When he began to feel resistance, he slowed, pulled back, and thrust again. Gradually, Mikan began to open to him as he made his way. The pain began to dissolve as well.

As the pleasure heightened, Mikan pulled Natsume close to her, her hands on the back of his neck and in his hair. They kissed and made love passionately. “Natsume!” Mikan gasped for air as she began to feel taught. Natsume knew they were both close to coming. He groaned as he pumped more fiercely. As Mikan came, she called out Natsume’s name, the orgasm flowing through her body. Hearing Mikan call his name in passion heightened his senses and he felt her tighten around him as she came. The grip of her on him finished him as he came, for the first time, inside her. Natsume moaned, “Mi—kan…” as he felt warmth flow through him into her. Mikan felt his warm seed flowing inside her.

The couple curled up together intimately after making love. Mikan’s hair flowed around Natsume and herself. Natsume quickly fell asleep in Mikan’s arms. Mikan brushed a few locks of hair off his sleeping face and whispered, “I love you, Natsume,” before she joined him in sleep.

Mikan awoke before Natsume and noticed it was dark outside. ‘Shit, I should really go back to my room!’ She got up and tried to locate her clothes in the dark. She considered turning on the light, but she didn’t want to wake her lover who slept soundlessly on the bed. Mikan managed to locate her bra, skirt, and shirt, but couldn’t seem to find her panties. ‘Whatever,’ she thought to herself, ‘I can find them some other time.’ She slipped on what clothes she had and snuck over to the nightstand beside Natsume’s side of the bed.

On the nightstand lay her locket. She quietly picked it up and fastened it around her neck. She turned to leave, but hesitated. She turned back to Natsume and leaned over him. She gently kissed his cheek and barely whispered to him, “Goodnight, Natsume.” She hustled over to the door and exited the room as quietly as possible.

Natsume stirred from his sleep as he heard the door close. He immediately noticed Mikan was gone, and assumed it was her who had just left the room. ‘Shit, I hoped she was going to stay the whole night.’ He waited a few minutes before crawling out of bed and turning on the light.

Once the light was on, he noticed that all of Mikan’s clothes, and her locket, were gone. However, he noticed she missed one thing. He walked over to his couch and picked up a pair of silky pink panties. He smirked, “It seems the baka is walking around without panties.” He picked them up and placed them in his underwear drawer.

Mikan made it safely back to her room. She wished to stay with Natsume, but she had already been missing for an entire day so she was sure her friends would come looking for her tomorrow. As she walked in the door, she found another envelope lying on the floor. She opened it and found another picture of her and Natsume, cuddled together sleeping on his bed. She smiled and put the picture safely in her desk drawer.

As she lay in bed, her heartbeat quickened. ‘I just lost my virginity to Natsume… but I don’t even feel violated, I feel… satisfied.’ She smiled and giggled a little before drifting off to sleep.

Natsume had considered staying awake for a while, but realized he was actually tired. He laid back in his bed under his covers, but it felt as if something was missing. ‘I already miss her.’ He thought as he grabbed an extra pillow and cuddled with it. ‘It smells like her. Mikan…’ And he drifted off to sleep with a small smile on his face.

The next day, many people came to visit Mikan. Since nobody had seen her since Central Town, they were all worried. However, Hotaru and Youichi only pretended they didn’t know where she was.

After all the hustle and bustle, Mikan went outside for a stroll by herself. It was Sunday, so they didn’t have school yet again. Mikan had the largest smile on her face. She was bubbling with happiness.

“Mikan!” A familiar voice called out to her. She turned around to find her favorite senior, Tsubasa. His blue eyes sparkled as he greeted her. “Tsubasa-sempai!” Mikan exclaimed as she raced toward him. Mikan pounced on Tsubasa and he easily caught her and spun her around. Little did they know, a jealous pair of crimson eyes spied on them. Natsume didn’t intend to spy on them, he just happened to be near when the two greeted each other, and decided to watch over Mikan. He was always jealous of how close Tsubasa got to Mikan.

Tsubasa noticed the temperature slightly rise, ‘So he’s around again. Go figure.’ He smiled at the excited girl in front of him. “How are you, Mikan?” Mikan danced around as she exclaimed, “I’m great!” ‘She seems much happier than normal, I wonder what good thing happened to her?’

Tsubasa hugged her and patted her head. “So, something good happened, right? Can you tell me?” Mikan blushed, ‘He can tell?’ But she replied, “How did you know, Tsubasa-sempai?” He simply winked at her, “It’s spelled all over your face! Won’t you tell me what happened?”

Mikan’s blush deepened, “I-I can’t really say…” she told him nervously and giggled. She smiled up at him again, and jumped into his arms, “But I’m so happy!” she exclaimed. Tsubasa gladly caught her and laughed at her childish actions. ‘The same old Mikan.’

Suddenly, Tsubasa felt his forehead grow extremely hot. He knew without checking that his hair was on fire and quickly patted it out before Mikan could notice. ‘It must have something to do with Natsume.’ Tsubasa thought to himself as he gently placed Mikan back on the ground. He smiled at her again, “I have to go help Misaki with something, but I’m glad to see you so happy. Maybe you can tell me about it later. Bye Mikan!” He rushed away, Mikan waving wildly at him. ‘Maybe they kissed, or maybe he confessed…’ Tsubasa thought. He would never have guessed all that had happened.

Mikan skipped off in a different direction, humming a happy tune. Natsume sighed to himself and opened his manga. ‘Stupid girl.’

The following morning Mikan woke up early. Very early. “It’s only 5 am! Why am I awake?” She whined as she ran around her room. She laid in her bed and rolled around trying to fall back asleep. ‘It’s no good. I can’t sleep. I wish Natsume were here. Wait! What am I thinking? He can’t be here all the time. I really am stupid.’ Mikan frowned a bit and decided to take a bath.

Natsume came home late from a mission. He had some minor scrapes, but nothing hurt like his heart. ‘I haven’t even talked to her since. I miss her so much. That baka. She has no idea what she does to me.’

He climbed into his king size bed alone. ‘This would be worth it if Mikan was here.’ He thought to himself, feeling a little lonely. Somewhere, Natsume could hear music playing. “Some idiot turned their radio too loud again.” He muttered to himself.

He curled up in his covers and listened to the song. It was “Better Than Me” by Hinder.

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won’t miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserved much better than me
…

‘What idiot is listening to this?’ Natsume thought to himself, but the lyrics struck him hard at heart. ‘I really miss her…’

“Mikan…”

Mikan arrived early for class and watched her classmates file in. She greeted them all with a cheerful face, but something was different. Mikan seemed a little more mature. Hotaru grew suspicious, ‘This all happened from sleeping in Natsume’s bed? Did something more happen?’

Natsume entered the room and silently took his seat. Mikan blushed but didn’t greet him. ‘He hasn’t even talked to me since. I know it doesn’t mean we’re a couple, but didn’t he say he loves me? Maybe he didn’t mean it.’ Mikan lost herself in her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Natsume cast long glances in her direction. ‘What is wrong with Polkadots? She didn’t run into me like normal. She didn’t even greet me. I hope she’s not regretting what happened. I really am a jerk.’ He grumbled to himself and put his manga over his face and pretended to sleep.

After class, Natsume escaped to his favorite sakura tree for some time by himself. Hotaru confronted Mikan. “What happened?” She demanded.

Mikan shifted uncomfortably under her harsh gaze. Luckily, no one else was around. “Hotaru… I-I don’t know if I should tell you…”

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

Hotaru glared down at Mikan, who was cowering on her desk. “This is the first time I’ve used this today. What happened?”

Mikan twiddled her fingers and finally confided in Hotaru. “Well… um, something happened.” Hotaru waited. “Natsume… Natsume and I… well, we…”

“Spit it out!” Hotaru lectured. “We… were together. You know… like in a bed. And, um, we had s-se-sex.” Mikan blushed furiously, the last word barely audible, and buried her face in her arms. Hotaru’s eyes gleamed with fury, but she remained calm. “Consensually?” She asked. Mikan nodded. ‘I guess I can’t do anything to him, yet. I have to wait to see if they actually get together. Otherwise, he’ll be dead.’ Hotaru sat down next to Mikan and gently patted her back. Mikan looked at her in surprise. “Things happen. If you wanted to, then don’t feel guilty.”

A smiled beamed from Mikan’s face. She hugged her friend, “Thanks, Hotaru! You’re my best friend!” Hotaru allowed it, for once. “Go talk to him. You have a project to finish.” She reminded Mikan, since she knew she didn’t remember. Mikan gasped, “Oh! I completely forgot, thanks!” And she rushed out of the room in search of Natsume. ‘Baka.’

Natsume lay under his tree with his manga over his face. He felt for certain that his favorite brunette would appear soon, suddenly remembering they had a project to work on. ‘She’s so predictable…’ But his thoughts turned to their intimate time together. ‘I never thought that she would want me. I never thought we would actually make love.’ As his thoughts crossed his actions, he suddenly sat straight up. His face covered with a shocked look.

“SHIT!”
