Amu inhaled the crisp spring air and sighed happily. There was no where else she'd rather be at that moment. She looked up and saw curious deep blue eyes staring down at her and smiled widely. She snuggled closer to him and sighed happily again. She closed her eyes and buried her face into his chest, intertwining their fingers casually.

"You seem happy." He gave her hand a squeeze and kissed her hair, inhaling his favorite scent. She smelled like strawberries and something sweet. The scent of Amu.

Amu smiled into his chest and looked up. "I am happy." She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. These were the days she lived for, sitting on a park bench alone with Ikuto. She looked up at him and smiled again.

Ikuto rested his own head on hers. "Why? Because I'm with you?" He smirked into her hair and kissed it again.

"Yeah…" Amu sighed dreamily. She loved the guy sitting next to her. They had met a couple years back and had been going out ever since.

They could sit for hours doing anything together. They could just sit in silence and feel what the other one was thinking. Between them, there was no such thing as an awkward silence. And they both loved that.

"Come on Amu, it's getting late." Ikuto squeezed her hand. "I'll walk you home." He got up and before she could stand, he lifted her up. Amu squealed as he picked her up bridal style. People walking by were staring at them.

"I-Ikuto…" Amu blushed. "Y-you can put me down… everyone's staring." She secretly loved when he did that though, and she was sure that he knew it too. She looked up at him and in the sunset he looked absolutely beautiful. She felt her cheeks heating up.

Ikuto sighed and put her down. "You ruin all my fun," he teased, poking her cheek. "Come on, let's go." He took her hand and led her home.

Amu smiled and grabbed onto Ikuto. She loved taking walks with him. She just loved being with him, period. He was her most favorite person in the world. She smiled up at him and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

Ikuto looked down at his girlfriend, a faint blush visible on his cheeks. He turned and whispered against her lips, "I love you". He caught her lips in a kiss that lasted a few seconds before pulling away.

Amu blushed but smiled nonetheless and ran ahead of him. Ikuto smiled, he knew she was probably just a bit embarrassed. He watched her skipping ahead. She turned around a couple of times to wave at him before turning around again.

Amu sighed happily. She felt free and so happy. She gasped as she felt her knees wobble and slipped downwards, but Ikuto caught her. She breathed heavily in fear and clung onto him. "I-Ikuto?"

He kissed her forehead. "Jeez Amu, don't go ahead without me okay?" He gave her hand a squeeze before pulling her up to her feet. "I'll always pick you up if you fall."

Amu nodded, standing on her toes and giving him a kiss. She smiled against his lips and murmured a soft "thank you". She waved at him and dashed into her house, turning before she closed the door and waving again.

Amu took a deep breath and let it out.

In, out… in, out.

She flopped backwards onto her bed and rolled over to look at her clock. 9:45 PM. For some reason, she felt… weird. A bit dizzy.

It's probably just you, Amu. Get some sleep. She closed her eyes trying to sleep, but she felt restless. She sat up slowly and grabbed her head, breathing heavily. Calm Amu. If worse comes to worst then you'll go see a doctor tomorrow. She smiled before feeling faint again and flopping back onto the bed, her breathing irregular. I'm definitely seeing a doctor… And she blacked out.

Amu played with her fingers while waiting for the doctor to come into the room. She was a bit nervous. She had been feeling funny for a while now. She looked around the plain white room with health posters all over the walls.

"Amu Hinamori, correct?"

Amu looked up to see the doctor coming in with her clipboard. "Yes." She smiled. The doctor looked kind enough. Her name tag read Amaya. Amu swung her legs back and forth nervously.

Doctor Amaya closed the door gently behind her and sat in front of Amu. "How old are you, Amu-chan?" She looked down at the clipboard. "Only sixteen?"

Amu nodded enthusiastically. She stared up at Amaya innocently, her honey golden eyes happy, but a bit of fear showed in them at the same time.

Amaya clucked her tongue and sighed. "Well… I don't know how to tell you this, but…" She ran her hands through her hair and looked at Amu. "Do you-"

"You can just tell me." Amu looked anxiously, afraid of what she was going to hear. "I'm a big girl, so I think I can handle it." She tried to smile.

"Well then Amu-chan…" Amaya looked up. "You have a heart disease. Coronary artery disease to be exact."
