"Everyone on standby!" one of the coordinators announced as they prepared for the next event.

Mikan paced nervously on the side as she tries to calm herself, Natsume on the other hand looks calm and composed.

"Where is ruka?" koko asked looking around.

"Yeah, he disappeared." Nonoko said also looking around.

"Natsume, you we're with him earlier" hotaru said

"He went somewhere, don't worry" Natsume assured them

"Mikan, you okay?" Anna asked mikan when she saw hoe nervous she was.

Mikan animated cried, her body shaking

"I'm sooooo nervous" she stated still shaking from nervousness

"Don't worry about that, you can do it!" nonoko said cheering her up.

"Un!" Mikan replied and took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Hello Minna-san! We are now on are second part of the event, Student's of different class have prepared some song for this Solo Performance! Just watch, listen and Enjoy the show! Give it up for.."

They heard narumi announcing the first performer, which made mikan more nervous. Natsume had noticed the brunettes mood and walked in front of her.

"Natsume?" Mikan asked when she saw natsume stop in front of her

"Come with me" he sad and grabbed her hand and drag her away from the stage.

"Wait- Natsume! where are you taking me?" Mikan asked as she was being dragged.

Natsume didn't answered her, He continues to drag her until they reached a room. Truthfully he actually prepared something for the brunette earlier

"What are we doing here?" mikan asked as she looked around

Natsume went to his bag on the table and full out a box, more like an accessory box. He then shove the box to mikan.

"What is this?" mikan asked eyeing the box on her hands

"Open it" natsume said as mikan opened the box

Inside the box is a necklace, a Crimson Heart Gem surrounded by dazzling cubic zirconia set in polished sterling silver, the gem itself made it alluring. Truthfully natsume prepared this a few years back but never had the guts to give it to her until now.

"Wow.. this is beautiful" Mikan said admiring the necklace

"If you are nervous, grab that necklace and put your nervousness in there and you will see, you will be okay later" Natsume said as she took the necklace on the box

"Really that will work?" Mikan asked looking at him as natsume went to her back

"Yes, I never lie about this things. Consider this a lucky charm" Natsume said as he puts the necklace on her neck

"Waah.. Thank you natsume!" Mikan said and smile

Mikan felt her nervousness going away as she clasped the gem in her hand, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

"I'm okay now" mikan said with a smile

both went out to return back on the backstage.

"Mikan! It's your turn soon" Hotaru reminded when she saw her walking back.

"Okay! i'll prepare now" mikan said and started her preparations.

"So you gave it to her" Hotaru said looking at mikan's retreating figure

"Yeah.." Natsume said and walks away with his an in his pocket

"That's a wonderful song! Around of applause to Koizumi Luna!" Narumi said

You can hear soft claps of the audience from the back stage.

"Now our next performer is Natsume Hyuuga!" Narumi announced as the audience screamed, no doubt that it's his fangirls.

"Natsume, care to tell what your song is all about?" Narumi interviewed with his mouth grinning from ear to ear as natsume glared at him

" You know what that is, why can't you just announce it?" Natsume stated as he continues to send deathly glares at narumi.

"Now now, that is no fun" Narumi said as he continues to smile as natsume sighed

" The title of the song is 'Tell me that you love me', I dedicated this song for an important person in my life" Natsume said and sat on his chair, he prepared his guitar.

The audience 'ooh'ed and whispers to each other at Natsume's great revalation, at the back of the stage, people tood shock especially a certain brunette.

"Natsume has a special person?" Nonoko asked completely petrified

"That's an over reaction nonoko-san, Natsume is still a human" Ruka said sweatdropping

"I have swollen arm that say's otherwise" kitsuneme said showing his swollen arms

"That's because you tried to pet him, you know how much he hates that" Ruka explained

Hotaru took a glance at mikan and her eyes widened, there standing Mikan Sakura smiling painfully with tears in her eyes while clasping her necklace in her hands.

"Give it up for Natsume Hyuuga!" Narumi announced which caught mikan's attention

"Hope you are listening back there" Natsume said in the mic which made everyone looking at the back of the audience

(A/N. Listen tothe song as your read the rest onwards)

Natsume then started to strum his guitar and sang.

🎶"No more lazy mornings with you lying next to me

No more late night talking before we lay our heads to sleep

No more looking in the mirror with you stepping on my feet

Without your arms around my shoulders, I've lost the strength to be

Come and set me free"🎶

He looked at the audience then at the side staged where he saw mikan and continue singing

🎶"Will you stay with me tonight

And pretend it's all alright?

Tell me that you love me

The way you used to love me

Will you whisper in my ear

Those three words I wanna hear?

Tell me that you love me

The way you used to love me"🎶

Mikan was astonished with his voice. She didn't know that he had this kind of voice earlier when she was singing with him.

🎶"Even if you don't mean it won't you say I'm still the one?

Hide the way that you're feeling and make believe I still belong

And nothing's changed since you've gone"🎶

Natsume sang every lyrics with his feeling pouring out.

'Mikan' he keeps thinking

🎶"Will you stay with me tonight

And pretend it's all alright?

Tell me that you love me

The way you used to love me

Will you whisper in my ear

Those three words I wanna hear?

Tell me that you love me

The way you used to love me"🎶

Natsume remembers every moment he have with mikan, and here he is now expressing his feelings indirectly.

🎶"One last time to hold you

And one last time to tell you

All the things I should've said before

But just once more"🎶

Natsume looked at mikan again and smiled gently. Mikan blushed at natsume's boldness.

🎶"Will you stay with me tonight

And pretend it's all alright?

Tell me that you love me

The way you used to love me

(Tell me that you love me)

Will you whisper in my ear

Those three words I wanna hear?

Tell me that you love me

The way you used to love me"🎶

Narumi saw the whole thing and can't help but smile.

"My my.. Young love.." He whispers to himself smiling

"Stop grinning like a perverted old gay man" Jinno said as he appeared beside narumi at the back stage

"Ara~ Jinno-sensei, are you here to watch the love confession unfolding before our eyes?" Narumi asked

"Shut up, idiot" Jinno grunted

🎶" Will you stay with me tonight

And pretend it's all alright?

Tell me that you love me (tell me that you love me)

The way you used to love me (tell me that you love me)

Will you whisper in my ear

Those three words I wanna hear?

Tell me that you love me

The way you used to love me"🎶

After he sang his song he looked at the side but mikan was already gone. He keeps looking around but saw none of the brunettes trace.

" That was an amazing song Natsume!" Narumi exclaimed as he went's out from the side stage

"Everyone Once again, Give around of applause to Natsume Hyuuga!" Narumi Announced.

The audience cheered and applaude him for his performance as natsume went back at the back stage.

"Natsume! that was amazing!" Ruka said still clapping

"You never told us you have someone special in your life!" koko said as he nudge natsume

"Where is mikan?" Natsume asked looking around.

"Mikan is preparing to go on stage, she's the next performer" Anna explained while holding some dresses

"Now, Everyone! Our Next performer is Mikan Sakura!" Narumi Announced as mikan went out to the stage.

Natsume stood at the side to watch her with hotaru and ruka in his side.

"Gambatte mikan!" Nonoko shouted at the other side of the stage as mikan smiled at her.

"Can you tell us something about your song mikan-chan?" Narumi asked.

"The title of my song is 'I'd Lie', and I am dedicating this song to the person i love" Mikan announced which gave her cheers from the audience and gasp of shock from the back stage audience.

"Oh she doing it now?" Hotaru mumbled as ruka looked at her

"Well then let's give her around of applause!" Naruymi announced as everyone applaude.

Natsume looked at her and was surprised when she looked at him and smiled.
