Ch. 1 Waiting for you

She was sitting outside on her balcony again like she does every night. She hasn't seen him for a while, she yearns for him. She's so used to his visits that she actually misses it right now. "I wonder where he is right now… is he thinking about me?"

--

It was 5 years ago, when they first met. On that day she ran out of school, away from him. Thinking back, she doesn't have a clue why she liked him that much, she didn't even know him. Him, Tadase. But, rash as she was, she didn't see where she was running to. Next thing she knows she was staring into the most beautiful indigo colored eyes she's ever seen. This boy, or rather guy, he was definitely a high school student. What was he doing here? After this it seemed everything flew by. He came around a lot, always teasing her. She can't say she didn't like it, but it wasn't her character to blush in public. He loved every second of it, it's because of her that he tries. Trying to quit Easter, trying to be free…

She loved his touch, when he comes up and hugs her from behind. She loved it when he buries his face in her hair. Heck, she even loved his earnibbles from time to time. She still hasn't figured it out how he knew her address or why he loves to come up her balcony every time.

It was then, when she realized it. She likes him, Tsukiyomi Ikuto the enemy. The guy she thought was a perverted, well he still is, but after a while she started to look beyond that. She saw his pain, felt the urge to heal him, to hold him… She could figure out the patterns of his visits, and always tried to look her best when he came, in a subtle way of course, we wouldn't want him to know so he could take advantage of that fact. Their conversations became deeper, more intense. She find herself falling more and more for him every time she sees him.

Amu was bored, VERY bored. She really didn't feel like making any homework, the only thing that could cheer her up was him. Speak of the devil, as she heard a knock on her balcony door, her heart skipped beat.



"Okay, relax!" Amu thought to herself "Even though you haven't seen him in a while, keep your cool" She practically ran to open her balcony door for him.

"Hey Amu, missed me?" Ikuto said as he made his usual smirk

"Not really, I was just thinking how much peace I had before I met a certain perverted cat" As she turned around she could feel his hands on her waist, hugging her like he was never going to let her go. "Ikuto…?" She wanted this to last forever and at the same time she hoped he wouldn't feel her heart jumping out of her chest. As hard as it was, she broke out of his hug to face him. Then, she saw that look in his eyes, the look that made her fall for him all over again. Such a lonely look, she wanted to make it disappear. "What's wrong? Why do you have so much lonelyness in your eyes?" she said which Ikuto startled, she was so good at looking through him. He felt so helpless when he was with her. He wanted her to hold him, to love him, but he knew it wouldn't happen, not as long the kiddy king was still there. He sighed and turned around, not saying anything and headed to the balcony. Suddenly, he could feel someone pulling his shirt, preventing him on going any further. He turned around again, looking at honey colored eyes, close to tears.

"What's with you?" Ikuto couldn't help but wonder

"It's just," Amu sobs, "I want you to stay a little longer…"

He couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he wasn't going to let this chance slip by. He smiled as he carried her princess-style, putting her gently on her bed, pulling her head to his chest. "Now, what's wrong?"

"I don't know" she said trembling

"Huh? You don't know?

"Well, I just want to know why you won't let me through your barrier, I want to know how you really feel"

"About what?

"About everything, your thoughts, your troubles… about me"

He couldn't believe what he was hearing, is she actually confessing to him? Suddenly, those large honey colored eyes were staring at him again. He lost to that gaze, he was at loss with words. He snapped, he couldn't control 

himself anymore as he leaned forward and kissed her. His kiss was so gentle and overflowing with emotions, with love. She couldn't help but to kiss back and surrender herself to him, it felt so good to be in his arms, to feel his warmth on her body. She felt numb when he broke the kiss, they just stared at each other, speechless. After a couple of seconds that felt like hours, he pulled her close, making her have that 'never-let-go-feeling' again.

"Stay here tonight Ikuto" Thank God her parents were out of town and took Ami with them, Ami even succeeded in kidnapping Ran, Miki and Su. She had the whole holiday week to herself, luckily it seems she won't be alone this week.

They laid there for hours cuddling against each other. They eventually fell asleep with a feeling no one could ever understand but them.
