Look in these eyes
We know each other like our own skin and bones
We know the scars,
how they got where they are, in places no one else knows.
As I sat on the couch with Amu snuggled up into my side, I keep thinking that the two in the movie remind me of Amu and I when we were younger. It keeps making me think of all the times I have spent with Amu. Now that I am married to her, I have mastered my ability to read her like a book even more than I could before. Of all the memories I have of her, one major thing that comes to mind is when I confessed to her.
---------------------------------------------------FLASHBACK!!!---------------------------------------------------
IKUTO= 21
AMU=16
I went to visit Amu on her balcony once again; but when I had arrived, her curtains were closed. I knocked on her door to show that I was here, but she didn't come to the balcony. Instead she spoke to me from her bed.
"Go away Ikuto! I don't want to see anyone." I could tell something was wrong, but I had no idea what it was. I wasn't going to leave her until I knew exactly what happened. I tried to make it sound like I had jumped off, but stayed right where I was. I heard her get off her bed and come over to the door and unlock it to come see if I really left.
Once she had came outside, I saw just how bad she was feeling right now. Her face was stained with tears and her eyes red and puffy. My anger rose inside of me and if I ever found out who hurt Amu to the state she is in, I would beat the living crap out of them. She was surprised to see me still in the spot where I had been before. Amu tried to go back inside without me getting in, but with no prevail.
Once I was inside her room, I pulled her into a hug and I was surprised to find that she wasn't struggling. In fact she did the opposite, she gripped onto me and started to cry again. I made calming noises and tried getting her to stop crying so I could find out what had happened.
"Amu..." I didn't need to continue, she knew what I would say anyway. Once she had finally calmed down, I got her to sit on her bed and spill everything. She took a few breaths and started her story.
"I saw...Tadase cheating on me." She was really close to crying again if it weren't for me rubbing circles into her back to settle her. So it was Tadase, huh? My mind filled with many slow and painful ways to kill him.
If you call this love, then show me some feeling
and if it all goes numb, just keep on breathing.
I remember that when Amu was with Tadase, she would always talk about him when I came over. Even though it hurt to hear her happy with someone, even if it wasn't me. I still teased her and still could get a blush out of her. Now that I see that the guy she had soo much love for could cause her this much pain, it hurt me. I didn't like seeing Amu so torn apart by someone.
"He's gay." Her eyes got soo big when I said this, I could barely hold in a laugh. She looked soo funny that it took a lot out of me, and she noticed. She hit me seeing me controlling my laugh. I guess I should get serious and explain to her what I really mean.
"If he feels that there is someone who could be better than you, then he is gay. Plain and simple. It even fits his name. I mean you could so easily say Tadagay." Amu blushed when I said the first part, but couldn't control her laugh when I said the Tadagay part. I was glad that I could get her to laugh when she was just sobbing her eyes out just a few minutes ago. Her laughter seemed to be contagious because I soon joined in with her laughter. After a minute or two of laughing, we both stopped and went back to speaking.
"So don't be sad because you lost someone who doesn't love you. They aren't worth your tears, especially Tadagay." Amu's face was tinted with a dark blush that made her even more cute than usual. Suddenly she started to cry and it startled me. Did she not listen to anything I said? Out of nowhere, she hugged me and buried her head into my chest. I heard her mumble something into it but I couldn't make anything she said.
"What?" She lifted her head with a big smile on her face. I was surprised to see her smiling when she was crying just one second ago.
"Thank you Ikuto. You have made me realize something I was so stupid to not realize before." I gave her a curious look and her smile didn't fade one bit.
"You are always there to help me when I'm stuck or to cheer me up when something like this happens. I now know that I never loved Tadas—I mean Tadagay, I loved you. When I blushed, it was different with you than him. With the Guardians and him, my outer character was always up. You come to my house and the wall I built up is torn down. Ikuto, I love you." The feelings I always thought were one-sided, just were returned to me and I couldn't be more happy. I was the one this time that hugged her and she hugged me back.
"I love you too, Amu." I pulled just enough so I could look into her eyes. Her eyes were full of love, but she looked a bit hesitant of loving someone again. I didn't blame her; it's not even a day and she is already going back out and giving her heart to someone else.
We'll never know, We'll never ever know if you just let it go
If it comes undone, then tie up your loose ends.
when the colors run, then all of the shapes blend.
Oh, you know there's still a ways to go, so don't start retreating
No, you just gotta take it slow
When you're lost and all out of breath just call and I'll come running baby
"Amu, don't worry. I won't treat you like he treated you. If I were to cheat on you, then I would be calling myself gay and losing the most wonderful girl there is." I still could see that she was wavering a bit, but I decided to seal my promise. I lean down and closed the gap between me and her and kissed her. She was shocked and very tense, but soon she realized that I wouldn't go back on my words and she kissed me back.
----------------------------------------------END OF FLASHBACK------------------------------------------------
I'll watch you falling from me
When you hit the ground maybe you'll see
The only way to fall is down
and I'll be up in the stars
but I'll be anywhere you are
just say you need me and I'll come down
As the movie ended, the flashback ended and I hugged Amu close to me and she snuggled more into me. She looked up into my eyes and I looked at her.
"I won't treat you like he treated you. If I were to cheat on you, then I would be calling myself gay and losing the most wonderful girl there is." She leaned up and kissed me, but the kiss was too short for my liking. She noticed my disappointment and instantly smirked at me. Amu got up from the couch and still had the smirk on her face. I gave her a curious look and she ran away, but not before proposing a game.
"You have to catch me for more!" And off she went. I was instantly up and chasing after her in the direction she went. She won't get away, I'll win no doubt. But for right now, let the games begin.
The days go by...
Miyuki: And here is where I have decided to end this one-shot.
Tadase: I WAS CALLED TADAGAY!!!
Amu: And you cheated on me!!!
Ikuto: Tadagay, how did you get out of the torture room?
Miyuki: Man I thought I had that secured enough... And I wonder why you were called Tadagay. It's not because you act gay or anything.
Ikuto: Anyways, Amu is mine! Don't try to take her. *puts arms protectively around Amu*
Amu: *blush*
Amu's and Ikuto's Charas: WE WEREN'T MENTIONED!!! ~Nya/Desu
Miyuki: Oh well! Anyways, I have to say I will TRY(emphasis on try.) to update this story daily...starting next week. This week is soo busy with test and four birthdays, so yeah. If that doesn't happen, I will try not to take a whole week for every new one-shot chapter.
Ikuto: So please, review so Mi knows how she did.
Everyone (Except Tadagay who was put back in the torture room): Bye!!
