Black Thong
The Epilogue

Natsume wasted no time after the coming days. In just a week, he had managed everything for his surprise proposal to Mikan. It had been a week since they finally were officially together and no doubt that Natsume knew it was Mikan forever. This led to his quick realization that he wanted Mikan to be his officially and by that he means marrying her as soon as possible.

He showered her with many surprises; breakfast in bed, dates on every romantic place she hasn't been before, long walks in the park where he connived people into give her a little something (flowers, Gucci bag, Rolex watch, etc.). In the end, Mikan had a problem carrying everything in her hands. When they finally reached the center of the park that's where he started. And with what he means, closed lights, marching band entering, flowers all around and a small box shaped into a thong. Mikan laughed at what she saw but Natsume could see how soon she'll end up crying her eyes out.

He fell into one knee and proposed.

He didn't realize how mushy he could get but that's probably what happens when a man finally finds his perfect match.

A year later...

Their night were mostly spent on loving one another. Natsume had taken her in more ways than she could ever imagine, still continuing to become the gentleman that he is. After that sticky situation in which he had accidentally came before Mikan was taken care of. He had made sure Mikan wouldn't be able to tease him about it anymore.

They were in bed cuddling when Natsume rolled her over and grinned down at her with a smug, knowing look.

"What are you thinking now, Natsume?"

Natsume grinned like a schoolboy. "I just can't believe how charming I could get. You've loved me since the day you saw me. You loved me so much you can't even think of anything other than me, myself and I."

Mikan was appalled. Where the hell did that come from? "Hey—"

"Shhh... don't speak. I'm thinking back a year before... and I need to memorize this moment." Natsume smiled at the top of Mikan's head. He was grinning from ear to ear now.

"You really are cocky. I don't know why I accepted your offer for marriage." Mikan gave a resigned look.

Natsume gave her a pout and brushed her knuckles against his lips where Mikan's wedding ring shone brightly against the lamp on their bedroom table.

Mikan giggled and wrapped her arms around him.

"Tell me you love me, Mikan. Tell me how much you love me."

"Awww... the baby needs assurance?"

Natsume glared at her but she could see the sparkle in his eyes.

"I love you, Natsume Hyuuga. And I won't have it any other way. Now would you mind scooting over? I think our baby can't breathe."

Natsume grinned. "I have a better idea. Why don't I give you another performance you'll never forget?"

Mikan sighed. "Natsume... aren't you a least bit tired?"

Natsume's grin just grew wider. "Oh, you don't need to do anything. Let your husband service you again."

Mikan laughed, "You've been servicing me—oh!"

"I love you, Mikan Hyuuga? You know that right?"

"I do... Ah, Natsume..."

"That's it. Now, where the hell did I place your black thong..."

The End
