I haven't watched or read Shugo Chara in a year or so. If they seem a bit OOC I'm sorry! But I wanted to write something for Tadase. He's my favorite character and I'm a HUGE Tadamu fan. BUT. I've thought about it and it seemed like they were hinting at Amu with Ikuto a lot in the story. This is really short. But I just feel so bad for him! I just wanted to write something to show how maybe Tadase would feel. All the Amuto fans seem to hate him even though he's so sweet. (All the Amuto fans I talk to at least) So I decided to write this showing how maybe he would feel.

Disclaimer: Shugo Chara belongs to Peach Pit! I'm not a Pitch Pit! xP

I sat there on the swing, allowing my feet to slowly push me back and forth. I stared up at the stars; so many thoughts ran through my head. What next? What can I do now?

"I seem to be able to find you here when you're depressed, huh?"

I looked up and saw Kukai hovering over me with a grin, "I guess so."

He reached down and ruffled my hair, "So what's got you down? It's Amu isn't it?"

I felt my face flush as I gazed down at my feet, "Yeah."

I heard the swing next to me chime as Kukai sat down, "What happened?"

"We weren't exactly a couple you know? Everyone just kept saying we were so I guess we acted like it, but Ikuto-nii-san came back for a visit. I left them alone for a few minutes but when I came back…" My voice weakened as it trailed off. My throat suddenly clutched in. I couldn't speak.

"Tadase, what happened? Tell me."

My voice came weakly, "He kissed her."

"Tadase, surely a peck on the cheek didn't mean-"

My head suddenly shot up as I glared at him, "It wasn't on the cheek."

His eyes became silver dollars, "What?"

"Don't make me say it again…" I stood from my seat on the swing, "I'm going to go now. I told Kiseki I wanted to be alone. I still do." I grumbled as began to leave.

"H-Hey Tadase! I didn't mean-"

"I'll talk to you later…"

I continued on without another word and didn't look back. It wasn't fair. She loved me first. I wish I could've realized it earlier, yet I was stupid and told her I was in love with her character transformation. That wasn't it at all. That's how Amu-chan just is. I was dumb. It still wasn't fair. He came in and swooped her away before I could. I confessed first, but I bet she wouldn't have done the same things for me she did for him. When I think about her… my heart aches. I want to turn back time… if I did maybe everything would've turned out better. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't face her again. Not after I ran out like an idiot…

"Amu-chan! Ikuto-nii-san! I got-" I saw them. I never actually expected it. I guess I should've. I should have seen this coming. I should've given up so I wouldn't end in so much heart break. I accepted she might love him. But I still hoped it wasn't true. I thought that, maybe just maybe, she'd love me.

I dashed out in a hurry. Not looking back. A distant 'Wait Tadase-kun!' was heard but I ignored it. I didn't want to see her or him. I felt betrayed in a way. They knew I was coming back. Sure Ikuto-nii-san teases me, but he'd never do such a thing on purpose, would he? I told him I wouldn't give up, but it struck my heart just now that maybe I should. My eyes were watering. No tears please, I can't take them right now.

Kiseki saw me and flew to my side as I ran, "Tadase? Kings shouldn't cr-" He paused as he saw the betrayal and utter sadness on my face. I couldn't take it. I had to run, to get away. My heart was just ripped out and stomped on. And it was by someone I considered a brother with the girl I loved. I didn't actually believe I could let her go did I? I want her to be happy. But I love her. I love her so much… What will I do now?

I honestly don't know. What…what will I do now?

End.
