Heyyy :)

Well... Snowii's epic fail is here once again, with my first ever... SONGFIC :D Now beware of it's shittiness, since I have absolutely no idea how to write a song fic. I had to dig up so many of them from my favorite authors to figure out how they work ._.

Let's see.. the song is my new found obsession song-- Fireflies, which is a song I found on Youtube. It's an original song by the one and only amazinggg Lisa! I fell in love with the song, so I thought I would try to write a songfic on it. Wish me luck!

Credits go to aozorafantasii on Youtube for the wonderful song / lyrics! :D

"So Amu," Ikuto said, sounding extremely bored as he sat on Amu's bed. "You think your parents are asleep yet?"

Amu looked up from the homework that she was doing on the ground beside him. She glanced at the clock. 12:45 AM.

"Probably," She said slowly. "It is pretty late..."

Ikuto smirked.

"Well then," He said. "Do you think they would notice if we went outside to your backyard for a bit?"

Amu frowned at him.

"But I'm still doing my homework!" She protested. "And why do you want to go anyways?"

Ikuto shrugged.

"I'm bored," He answered. Amu narrowed her eyes at him.

"Then you go by yourself."

Ikuto smirked, leaning down so that his face was level to Amu's.

"Baka," He whispered. "Why do you think I'm sitting in your room then, if I could be anywhere else? Because I want you to be there."

Amu's cheeks slowly heated up to their trademark red shade. She hadn't expected him to say anything like that.

"B-but," She stammered, trying to make an excuse for herself. "I still have to finish this homework for tomorrow..."

Ikuto reached down and took the paper from Amu, scanning it briefly. Math. Not exactly his best subject, but considering Amu was still learning what he learned five years ago, he figured he could manage pretty easily.

Within five minutes, Ikuto had the paper done. He handed back to a wide-eyed Amu.

"There," He said proudly. "Now will you go with me?"

Amu had no more excuses. She nodded grudgingly, slipping a jacket over her night gown and a pair of shoes on before opening the door to her room. She and Ikuto quickly stepped out, trying to be as silent as possible as they crept down the stairs and to the back door of the Hinamori residence.

Beneath the darkest moonless sky,
In the cover of the night,
We steal softly out the back door,
Brushing fireflies.

Amu opened the back door, and she and Ikuto stepped outside. The sky was completely dark, not a single bit of moonlight in sight. Ikuto was mildly surprised. Summer was coming soon, he would've thought there would be a really bright moon tonight.

But, something else made up for the lack of moon. Quickly darting around the tall grass of Amu's backyard were dozens of fireflies, lighting up the small section of land.

Summer air is sweeping in,
Over you and me,
I could set, I could set you free.

It was actually quite warm tonight. Amu couldn't help but smile. She shrugged off her jacket and kicked off her shoes, tossing both of them into a small pile by the back door. Then she stepped barefoot onto the firefly-lit grass. Ikuto smirked, leaving his shoes beside Amu's before doing the same as her. He began chasing Amu around the backyard, both of their laughter filling the summer air.

After quite a bit of running around, the two of them flopped on their backs onto the grass, smiling as they watched the fireflies fly around them. Ikuto turned to face Amu, a now serious look on his face.

"Amu," He said. "You want to know the real reason why I asked you to come out tonight?"

Amu, who still had a wide smile adorning her face, shook her head slowly.

"Nope," She said cheerfully, scooting closer to him. "Why?"

Ikuto hesitated. Amu looked so happy right now, and he would be the one to ruin that happiness.

"It's because," He said. "I'm leaving tomorrow."

Amu's smile disappeared instantly.

"Leaving?" She repeated in confusion. "But why?"

"I finally heard from my dad," Ikuto explained. "He's in America. And I want to go see him."

Amu felt all the air leaving her body.

If I let the wind carry you away from me,
Would you come back home once again, someday, for me?

"But," She whispered. "America's so far away...."

Ikuto nodded.

"I know," He said. "But I really want to do this. I'll come back one day, I promise."

Cause I'll be missing you like crazy, love.
I'll miss you all the way.
But my love for you won't let me make you stay...

Amu frowned. She wanted to make Ikuto stay, she wanted to convince him that he'd rather be here than in America. Yet, she still didn't want to deny him of what he wanted. If he wanted to leave to go find his dad, then Amu felt that she should just accept his decision and let him go.

"Then you better come back," She said. "You promised."

Ikuto smiled and nodded, sitting up again.

All of a sudden, a loud 'knock' was heard. Amu looked up and saw both her parents, standing in the doorway of the back door, glaring at her.

"Hinamori Amu!" Her mother scolded. "What are you doing out here so late? You get back in here this instant!"

Amu quickly turned around, and saw that Ikuto had already disappeared. A small smile returned to her lips.

"Bye, Ikuto," She whispered before getting up and following her parents back inside.

Amu glanced at the clock in the kitchen before silently walking out into the backyard. It had been a whole two months since Ikuto had left for America, and she hadn't heard from him since.

The pink-haired girl couldn't help but smile when she saw the grassy backyard in front of her as she stood in the doorway. It was once again, filled with fireflies.

Kicking her shoes off once again, she stepped into the grass again. It was like that night all over again, only this time, Ikuto wasn't with her as she danced around the backyard alone. But that didn't stop her from trying her best to imagine that he was here.

I caught a glowing ball of light,
In my hands one night.
I ran to show you,
Before remembering that you aren't here...

She soon dropped to her knees, bending down low to carefully observe one of the fireflies that was crawling up a blade of grass. Then, in one swift motion, she clamped both of her hands around the tiny insect, jumping up again excitedly.

"Ikuto!" She exclaimed. "Look what I got! Ikuto, come on-"

She stopped suddenly, realizing how stupid she looked.

"Oh yeah, huh?" She whispered. "You're still in America..."

Her good mood now gone, Amu crept back into her house, the firefly still being held captive by her. She walked into the kitchen, finding one of her mom's empty jars and dropping her little firefly into it.

"Sorry little guy," She apologized softly as she screwed the lid onto the jar. "But you're going to have to stay in here for a little bit. I want Ikuto to see you when he comes back."

~ i S n o w X 3 ~

Summer air is sweeping in,
And I hold onto you tight,
In my dreams, in my dreams tonight.

Amu's eyes flew open as she lay in bed. Her breathing was ragged, her chest rapidly rising and falling back down. She sat up, taking deep breaths, and realized that she was holding on tightly to one of her pillows.

"So it was all just a dream," She mumbled to herself, letting go of the pillow and placing it back down beside her.

It was some dream. Ikuto had finally come back, and they were back in Amu's room again. She was holding onto him tightly... which would explain the excess pillow hugging. But it would only stay a dream. The months had flew by, it had almost been a year since Ikuto had left. And if he was coming back anytime soon, he hadn't told Amu yet.

She glanced at her beside table, smiling at the sight of the little firefly fluttering around in it's jar. Even after almost a year of careful care taken to keep the firefly alive, Amu was proud to say that it was still healthy in it's jar. But something insider her kept nagging her about it. She knew what she had to do.

If I let the wind carry you away from me,
Would you come back home once again, someday for me.
Cause I'll be missing you like crazy, love,
I'll miss you all the way.
But my love for you wouldn't let me make you stay.

It was almost like a daily routine for Amu to go out like this. Once more, she crept past her parent's bedroom, down the stairs, and into her backyard. The whole time she had the firefly jar clutched tightly in her small fists.

Once she got outside, she held the jar high up in the sky, as high as her arms would allow her to. Then, in one graceful motion, she whipped off the lid of the jar. She watched with a smile on her face as the firefly quickly flew out, flying back to the rest of the fireflies flying around.

She had realized that the firefly was just like Ikuto. Both probably didn't have any problem with staying with Amu, but sooner or later, she knew that she'd have to let them go. And one day, they might come back to her.

Feeling really good for what she just did, Amu quickly ran back into her room. She dove under the still warm covers, snuggling into her pillow and quickly falling back asleep again.

Little did she know that, standing on her balcony, was a certain blue-haired man with a giant smirk on his face and a violin case slung over his shoulder. And a little ways behind him was a certain little firefly.

Stay for me... I couldn't say it.
Stay for me... I couldn't say it.
How could I say it?

Hm... so what did you think? Too bad? Too cheesy? Too short? Too OOC? Let me know!

I think I'm going to be doing more of these rather than chaptered stories now. They seem more fun for me.

Also, request songs for me ^^ It took me forever (four tries actually) to find a song that I could actually finish a song fic for. So I'm going to need all the help I can get!

Review, onegai? :D Just press this little button and tell me anything. Your thoughts, your complaints, your anything. And I'll be here listening.
