An Amuto Fanfic: Recap:
Amu has just said goodbye to Ikuto, as for he has just confessed his love to Amu and kissed her. Amu graduated Seiyo Elementary, and is now is off to high school. She has been often asked out by Tadase, but usually makes up some excuse to him. So I am continuing the story at Amu's 2nd year of high school, she is now 16…
"Amu, your going to be late for school!"
"Alright, I'm coming!." Amu said as she looked in the mirror checking how she looks,
"Wow, it still feels weird wearing the same uniform as Utau, I can't believe I am still not used to it." She giggled, then grabbed her bag and ran downstairs.
She ran out the door to find Utau honking the horn,
"Amu, we're gonna be late, hurry up!" Amu ran and got in the car. Utau stepped on the gas pedal and jerked the car forward and on. They were both excited to be in school together again, even though it's Amu's second year, and Utau's last. When they pulled up at the school, Kuukai along with the rest of the gang was already there. Utau jumped out of the car and hugged Kuukai. Amu just opened the door and was greeted by Yaya and Rima,
"Good Morning A-M-U-CHI" Yaya said. And Amu smiled and greeted as well.
Well Amu and Rima have 3 out of 4 classes together. Yaya is only a first year so she has no classes with them. They all went to class and late met up after school. That was when his name was brought up, she hadn't heared his name mentioned by anyone in a while.
"Hey isn't Ikuto in Italy right now?" Kuukai asked.
"Yeah, he said he found my dad there, but I am not speaking to him." Utau replied with a strong attitude. Amu didn't say anything, she knew how much Utau hated her father. She then started to remember the chats that she and Ikuto have had online, and in text. She didn't seem happy to hear his name though. Rima then said, "Amu are you ok? You look sad."
Everyone then turned to see her, and she jumped,
"N-no I am fine! Just tired, I stayed up late last night talking on the phone with some friends, an-nyway I have to go home, see you guys later!" she said and then darted off into the distance. Why do I feel so weird? I mean me and Ikuto have been talking a lot lately, even though I haven't actually seen him, and there is the fact that he's performing with a girl soon. W-Wait what am I thinking? Why does it matter to me if he performs with some girl, it's not like I l-like him or anything!
Suddenly Amu started to remember his goodbye's to her years back. Then she said,
"Ikuto, you have been gone for 3 years, you call and text sometimes, but I still can't see you, you said you'd 'make me fall for you' yet I am still here and confused. The last time you saw me I was a little shorter then I am now, and I have progressed in growth mentally as well. You always told me to grow and now I have. Why was it that you kept telling me to grow up? Why aren't you here?" Amu then ran into her house and up to her room. She got on her Laptop and went to the chat room, Ikuto was online…
Hey Amu, R u on? - Ikuto
Yeah, hi Ikuto, how r u I hrd ur in Italy? -Amu
Yeah, found my dad, but I don't think I am coming back so soon -Ikuto
Y? r u ok? Did something happen? -Amu
No lol, I am fine, my dad wants to perform with me, that's all -Ikuto
Well, and I found this girl that I kinda like, she's been rlly nice to me and so I asked her out - Ikuto
O-oh, that's cool, well I gtg my mom's calling me - Amu
Amu wait, no nvm, see ya! - Ikuto
Amu closed her laptop and brought her knees up to her chest,
"So it is true, he really is dating that Italian girl" Amu then started tearing up, cold tears were falling onto her hands as she covered her face. Suddenly the doorbell rang and her mom answered it. Amu heard her mom say,
"Long time no see! Well I know you don't wanna stay and chat with me, she's upstairs!
Amu! There's a guest here!" Amu then tightened up and screamed
"Sorry mom, but I don't want to see anyone right now!" Amu tried to hold back her tears.
She then heard footsteps come up the stairs, and someone walked in her room. She thought it was her mom coming to check up on her so she said,
"Mom, I am sorry I seemed rude to our guest, but I am just not feeling right, right now."
She then felt arms around her, hugging her, she knew now that this was not her mom. His mouth was near her ear, and he then whispered," you've finally grown up, Amu."
Amu's POV:
I felt his arms around me, I refused to believe it was him, he sounded older, his hair grew longer, and wasn't he in Italy? "I don't believe it's you, your in Italy with your girlfriend"
I heard him chuckle, and he said "I was in Italy, but when I found my dad, I spoke with him for about 3 hrs, then took off to come here, and I didn't say I asked out an Italian girl, check your phone," I then pulled my phone out of my pocket and read the text, R u free tonite?.. I couldn't believe my eyes, I turned around and it was him, the tears in my eyes grew heavier, and fell down my face hard. He then wrapped his arms around me to my back, and pulled me close, I knew how red my face was.
Ikuto's POV:
Jeez, I leave this girl for 3 years and she loses all faith, Haha, well I guess it wouldn't be Amu any other way. "Your mom said I could take you out tonight." Then I saw her rosey cheeks and her golden eyes, "My mom even knew!" " Yes, I don't disobey her trust, she IS your mother." I pulled my arms back from around her and stood up, pulling her up as well.
"Well, get ready, we're going out tonight."
Amu's POV:
''F-fine, but only to celebrate you coming back" I said, then he shut my door and went downstairs. I got on my purple long shirt and some black and purple leggings, and let all of my long pink hair down. I walked downstairs and Dad was talking to Ikuto. They both looked up to me and Ikuto said, "It's a group party, to celebrate Amu's second year of Highschool and my homecoming." Dad, wiped the tears off of his face and I hugged him, he said, "Have a safe trip." And Ikuto held my hand. We got into his Black car, it looked nice. I sat and said nothing. Ikuto didn't say anything either. There was so many things I had to say to him, but I couldn't bring myself to say any of it now. He scared me when he asked,
"Are you cold?" I jumped and he giggled, my face turn a little red,I shook my head and asked, " So when I was 13 you kept telling me to grow up…" He then smiled and said,
"I do remember often saying that,"
"W-well, why? Why was it all about me growing up?"
"It's not that, haha, you will understand soon."
Ikuto's POV
She probably doesn't realize anymore that I love her, considering how long it's been. I want to be able to be my old self now, she has grown up. Amu's always been slow like that.
Well we're at the party Utau hooked up for us. Well here goes nothing! I then parked the car and opened my door, Amu opened her door and got out as well. She didn't wait for me, she just about ran to the door of the party. I walked in after her, and everyone screamed
"Welcome Back Ikuto!"
Tadase's POV:
Amu didn't seem too interested in Ikuto according to the way they came in. It's not like I care. I looked to my right to find Yaya holding my hand and screaming welcome back. I think it's good that I didn't pair off with Amu. Yaya is always cheering me up and making me feel like I am going to be a kid forever, which is good. Ikuto waved at me and I waved back and said" It's been too long Ikuto-nii!" He then smiled and ruffled my hair and said," You've gotten taller Tadase! I smiled and said," yeah I am not a shortie anymore!"
Ikuto POV:
Amu hasn't paid any attention to me since we got here, all she's been doing is talking with utau and rima. Suddenly I felt someone come next to me, it was Nagi.
"Hey, how you been? Did u make your move on Amu yet?"
"Uh, how'd u know about that?"
"I pay attention to you and her actions and you seem kinda upset."
"Well when we came, she completely ignored me, forgot I was here and ran to Utau."
"Well I am not so surprised, considering she hasn't seen you in years and doesn't know if you've changed or what you're planning to do now."
"Hmm, idk I guess I am just a little annoyed that she forgot our goodbye"
"What do you mean?"
"Before I left 3 years ago, I kissed her, it seems she's forgotten about that."
"Well, if she kissed you 3 years ago would it still be a big deal today?"
"I guess not-I turned and smiled at Nagi- well thanks"
"Anytime Ikuto, just call or text!" Kuukai was sneaking up behind Nagi when he said that and I smiled, Kuukai then Dumped a bowl of whipped cream over Nagi and I laughed. Nagi then put Kuukai in a choke hold and I watched them.
Amu's POV:
Well Ikuto seems like he's having fun now, thank goodness. I didn't think he could keep up the whole serious act all night. Utau and Rima were discussing some new makeup and I started daydreaming, now that Ikuto's back what's going to happen? Am I going to be messed with again? Tadase's been eyeing me, and I have just been pretending I haven't noticed. Kuukai and Nagi are messing around as usual. I guess tonite's going pretty well!
"AMU CHI, come baaack!" I jumped and she laughed, "Whadaya mean?" i said and she chuckled a little more, "You were daydreaming for a long time!" and I smiled and the party went on.
After the party- Ikuto's POV
Well, it's around 9:30pm and it's a school night so Amu asked me to take her home, we both got in the car. I turned the heat on, since I saw her shivering. Amu got her seatbelt on and stayed quiet, so I decided not to take her home just yet. I didn't move the car, we stayed in place. Amu finally spoke and said, "Ikuto? Is something wrong?" and I couldn't bring myself to say anything, not just yet. I waited for Utau and Kuukai to leave and let us be the last ones off. Amu sat there staring at me, she didn't say anymore.
Amu's POV
I stared at Ikuto intently, he seemed to notice but didn't look back. Then when the last car was gone, he got out of the car. He went around the trunk and over to my door and opened it. "Amu, have I done something wrong?" I blushed, he was so close and I didn't understand what was happening. "Hehe, your such a perverted cat, what do you mean anyway?" I tried to smile, but he seemed too upset, so my lips curled downwards.
"Amu, have I changed that much? You seem afraid to look me in the eye, to get close to me." He said, and my hand went onto his chest and pushed him back, I didn't say anything. I couldn't, Why does he always mess with me?
Ikuto's POV
I backed away and got back in my seat. I guess it's true, she thinks I am just messing with her, she isn't taking me seriously. What should I do? I kept driving on and on, until I dropped her off home, I walked her to the door, and her father opened the door and said nothing but goodnight. I got back in my car and went to my old apartment. My old man promised he'd pay it off so I can live there for a long time. I just can't believe this, I am finally back and everyone's changed. Even Amu…
Utau's POV:
"Hey Kuukai, did you notice that Ikuto didn't leave until we left, he made sure to be the last one gone."
"Yeah I did, I wonder why…"
"Idiot! He's trying to get Amu alone so he can show her he truly loves her, and isn't messing with her."
"Well Amu is really slow, I don't think she's going to catch on so fast."
"Yeah I know, it's almost too hilarious." I chuckled, Kuukai kept looking at the road while driving.
Amu's POV
I walked in and went up to my room. My head was dizzy in thought. Ikuto's teasing makes me feel so weird. But tonight, he looked really sad, upset, and serious. Maybe Ikuto's changed, he seemed even more upset when he dropped me off. But what was I to do, he's always teased me, so if he comes close and tries something, what else am I supposed to think? I plopped onto my bed and pulled a pillow onto my face. Suddenly my laptop made a sound. I went over to check it and it was a message from ikuto
Amu – Ikuto: I looked at the message and thought if I should answer it or not. So I did.
Hey, that was some party tonight, wasn't it? - Amu
Ikuto's POV
I saw her message, and knew she thought it was a joke again. So I smiled and typed:
Did something happen between you and Tadase? –Ikuto
Ummm, y? – Amu
He seemed to be glaring at me, and u, the whole time. – Ikuto
O-oh, well I recently went on a date with him, and he was convinced I was daydreaming because there was someone else, so he started dating Yaya. –Amu
I sat there for a minute, someone else? Who's the someone else? I sighed.
Ok well, it's late, go to sleep. – Ikuto
Yeah, good night- Amu
I closed my laptop and sighed. Then I laid back onto my bed. Utau then ran into my room and screamed. I shot up and said:
"Utau what's wrong?"
"Tell me what happened! Did you kiss her? Did she kiss you-are you guys-" I cut in quickly.
"Utau, we didn't kiss, we're not dating, Amu thinks I am messing with her." Utau, then got a sad look on her face. She tried to hug me but I layed back onto my bed again, then she pouted and said, "Fine, I won't help you!" and then she walked out and slammed my door,
I didn't ask her for help, so I don't need her help.
~The next morning!
Amu's Pov:
I got up early and left for school, I felt like I needed a morning walk to clear my mind. Then I spotted Kuukai getting breakfast so I ran up behind him and said "Good morning!"
He jumped and spilled coffee on his shirt, "Gee thanks Amu!" I grabbed everything out of his hands and set it on a bench while he cleaned his shirt, "I am so sorry Kuukai!"
"Eh, don't worry, I have to change anyway, these are my jogging clothes." he said reassuringly, "So why u getting such a big breakfast?" I asked. "My brothers are gonna get up soon so I thought I'd get breakfast today, and I need to get me and Utau coffe too."
