This story was originally written in 2009, but was removed in 2012 before I left the site (Details on that in my profile if you're interested)
It has been revised and edited and I am going to be reposting all of the chapters and continuing the story!
Idk why, but it is necessary for me to say that I do not own Shugo Chara or any of Its characters!
Enjoy !
Chapter one: Amu and Ikuto fight.
-AMU-
I sighed. Ikuto was being his usual mischievous self again. Every time he visited, he acted perverted and careless. He treated me like a toy. That's all I really am to him: a toy. And possibly a friend, but definitely nothing more than that.
Even though he could be perverted and annoying, I've had a secret crush on the blue haired boy for a long time. He knew when to be serious, and sometimes very caring. My favorite part about him was his eyes. They were the deepest shade of blue, like staring into the eye of a storm. They were so full of emotion and secrets. This was my favorite thing about Ikuto until I saw him smile. Not the smirk he had every time he made me blush, but his real smile, the one I only caught glimpses of when Ikuto thought I wasn't looking. I loved to sneak a peek out of the corner of my eye and see him genuinely happy. I loved the thought that I could make him smile. It spread across his entire face and his eyes lit up like a kid with candy. If he caught me watching though, he would quickly change it into a smirk and do/say something embarrassing to make me turn bright red and let out a long stream of stutters. Sometimes I wish that he could just be the sweet guy that I know is hidden beneath the mask he showed the world.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Ikuto said, snapping me out of my thoughts and making me jump when I realized that he was so close that our noses were almost touching. I tried to come up with a response, but only stutters came out. Ikuto laughed "You weren't thinking about me now, were you?" he smirked –here we go again- and I really did try to stay calm, but she was already snickering and I was blushing like crazy "N-no! Why would I think about you? All you are is a perverted jerk!" I yelled, wishing I could just keep my cool. "Aww, you're blushing. Well, if you weren't thinking of me before… you are now right?" Suddenly he was really close to my ear as we whispered the last part of his sentence. I couldn't think. "I-I-UGH!" Was all I could say.
I folded my arms and turned away, decided like a mature adult that I was going to ignore him. I laid back on my bed and stared up at the ceiling, trying to make my blush go away. He would get too close on purpose because he knew that it made me freak out. He didn't know why though. Every time he got so close to my face, all I could think about was kissing him, or running my hands through his hair, or touching his face... crap. Thinking about kissing him was doing nothing to calm me down.
I felt him shift on the bed and he crawled over to where I was pouting and practically laid on top of me and asked "What are you doing?" I didn't answer him because I was arguing with my body's natural reactions, telling my face not to blush, and my lungs and heart to slow down. After a few minutes, he gave up and laid next to me. He was surprisingly silent as we just laid there, and once I thought I had my body under control, I glanced over at him. He had been staring at me, and when I looked, he smiled. That's right- he didn't smirk, he smiled, a full-on, dazzling Ikuto smile. Wow.
I was suddenly overcome by emotion. I couldn't kid myself any longer. I was in love with this perverted, crazy, beautiful boy. I wanted to tell him so bad, but I was always afraid he would reject me. But now, looking into his eyes as he smiled, I couldn't help but smile too as I thought that maybe there was a chance that he could like me too.
There was only one way to find out. I needed to say something, before this moment passed, and I lost all of my courage and he went back to joking again. "I-Ikuto…" I began. "Yes?" His voice was smooth and soft as he looked at me now, curiosity filing his eyes. "Ikuto... I…I…I love you." There. I said it. I blushed and quickly rolled over, not wanting to see his reaction. It felt like hours ticked by but he didn't say anything. I rolled back over and saw tons of emotions cross his face. He looked like he was trying to figure something out. I sat and waited a little longer, and right before I was going to say something else- anything else- he started laughing. I couldn't believe it! He was laughing at me! I told him that I loved him and he laughed? What the hell was his problem?
Obviously he doesn't love you back was the only thought that filled my mind and as I fought back tears I screamed at him "GET OUT!...JUST GO!" I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down crying. How pathetic, Now he was going to see me cry over him. Great. This was just great. What was I thinking? Why would I say that to him? It was obvious he only liked to mess with me. There was no other Ikuto, there was only the teasing perverted guy who didn't love me.
I looked up and noticed he was still standing next to my bed where he ended up after I started screaming. He had a strange look on his face, like he was in pain. "Amu I-" I cut him off "NO! I don't want to hear it! Just go! And don't come back!" not that he would want to anyway after I confessed to him like a child I heard a knock at my door- apparently my parents were home "Amu? Are you alright?" my dad was at the door. I lowered my voice and calmly addressed Ikuto "Go now, or I'll tell them that you broke in here and tried to rape me or something. I don't know, just Go! I never want to see you again!" I hissed and he backed out my balcony door and disappeared out of sight.
"Amu? Are you okay?" My dad asked again. "Yeah, sorry dad. I uh… I had bad dream. I'm alright." I said, but I knew I wasn't okay. I heard my dad's footsteps on the stairs and I sank to the floor. I couldn't believe it! He just laughed at me like I was a sad joke. I curled up into a ball and just cried. It was foolish to say anything to him. There was no way he could love me. If he did, surely he would have said something by now. I was a stupid kid. Granted, I was a senior now, but Ikuto was in college. He had more important things to do that to hang out with a stupid lovesick high school girl.
He probably had a girlfriend in college that he was in love with. I stopped myself there. I couldn't think about Ikuto loving anyone else. I just let myself cry until I saw the sin come up and then crawled back into my bed, cringing when I smelled Ikuto's cologne on my blankets. I kicked them off the bed and finally fell asleep. Thank God it was Saturday.
Okay, there is the revised chapter 1!
Please review and let me know what you think! And If you read it the first time around (and remember it) let me know if you think I've improved! I love you all! 3
