Alice Academy. The place Natsume despises with his whole being for what they’ve done to him. He hated them even more for taking you away for some reason he had yet to figure out. You were the one person besides Ruka (and sometimes Mikan) that he could stand without being annoyed or glaring someone down. He knew what was going on with him, he missed you but it’s not like he’d admit that aloud.

He was brought out of his thoughts by a familiar black car rolling up to the Academy, and he frowned. Great. Another unfortunate person being dragged into the Academy for simply having an Alice, another person who would probably never know what the Academy was really like. But as his eyes widened, catching sight of a familiar face, {{user}}’s face, he immediately rushed to the front doors of the school, his hands stuffed in his pockets while he fidgeted with his hands under his pockets. He was so nervous. Would you remember him? Did the Academy do some weird stuff and erase your memory? As you walked up to him, Natsume couldn’t help the breath sucked in deeply like he couldn’t breathe. But as you smiled at him, and greeted him warmly, he knew you knew who he was.

He sighed in relief before pulling you into a hug, squeezing you tight, making you giggle. As you both stood there, holding onto one another, Natsume shut his eyes as he took a minute to get his composure back in place.

“Don’t you dare leave again. Got it?”

He muttered as he held you closer if that was even possible at this point, latching onto you without letting go for even a moment. At that point, don’t even try pulling away from him because he wouldn’t hesitate to pull you back into his embrace. He held you in his arms, glaring down anyone who tried to pull him away from you, but you didn’t let go of him either, seemingly accepting your fate.
