Hey guys! I've written a series of Shugo Chara already but I thought it wasn't good enough. So here you are with a completely new story! Hope you all like this:) This one is about Ikuto x Amu:)

Chapter 1

Ikuto's POV

Ever since the beginning of my second year in highschool, I have been living by myself. I can't stand living with that old man. He's not even my real father and he makes me angry. I feel bad for my mom, but it's better if I had left the house. I don't want to make my mom more upset.

It was tough getting approval from my mom since she was worried about me, but she didn't want me to suffer anymore. So in the end she let me live by myself. I'm going to be a third year now in high school. It's still summer break so I have some time before school.

"Guess I'll go out somewhere to chill." I said to myself.

Amu's POV

I just can't stand being in the house. I love my parents and my little sister, but I also like going out of the house a lot. Staying cooped up in my room is pretty boring. Even if my friends aren't free I like going out by myself.

I got my bag and headed out the door. "Bye mom! I'll be back in a couple of hours!" I shouted from the front door. Time to get out and get some fresh air. I don't wanna stay home all day for summer.

I was heading towards the park. It was the perfect weather. The sun was out and a nice breeze in the air. I got some ice cream before sitting down on a bench at the park.

There were a good amount of people at the park. Most of the benches I saw were taken. The bench closest to me only had one man sitting on it so I decided to sit there.

"Ahh...such a nice day today. Ice cream sure does suit this weather." I said with a smile. I didn't want to bother the sleeping man next to me, so I ate my ice cream in silence with my earphones in my ears. Music filled my head. It sure was relaxing.

As soon as i ate the last part of my ice cream the sleeping man's head was leaning on my shoulder. I froze. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to be rude and wake him up...but I wanted to get up and move.

I gently tapped his shoulder and he got up. I couldn't really see his face because his head was faced towards the ground and his navy blue hair was in the way. "Um...you were sleeping on my shoulder, and I wanted to get up. Sorry for bothering your sleep." I said getting up. But the man didn't say anything back. Instead he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me back down.

"Hey...Amu. Did you forget me or something?" I was deeply confused until the man raised his head. "I-KUTO?!" I nearly shouted. "It's been a while!" He smiled at me. "Yea it has. What have you been up to?" I was happy to see my older friend. He was my friend ever since middle school and he was a grade older than me. I've also had a crush on him but I kept it a secret from everyone cause I didn't want to ruin our friendship.

"I'm good. I heard that you were living by yourself since the beginning of your second year! Why didn't you tell me?" I was concerned for my friend. I know what he's been through. I wanted to comfort him. I didn't want him to be burdened.

"Cause I know you'd be worried like you already are right now." He said with a crooked smile. I was upset that he didn't tell me, but I could understand him. "Anyways, did you know it was me from the moment I sat down?" I asked curiously.

"Of course I did. Or else I wouldn't have leaned on you." He chuckled. "Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Ikuto patted me on the head. "I wanted to see you gobble up that ice cream." I was furious now. I felt my cheeks heating up. I did NOT gobble it up. I started pouting. Ikuto was laughing at me now.

"Well if you don't have anything else to do come keep me company." And with that Ikuto grabbed my hand and we started walking to wherever Ikuto was dragging me.

And that's it for chapter 1:) please continue to read my fanfic:) And please review because it will encourage me to keep going~
