Amu's POV

"Hey everyone! I'm back from work!" I kept forgetting my parents weren't home, they went on holiday with Ami to England. They've only been gone for a day and I missed them already. How am I gonna cope alone for the following two months!

It was hot so I went upstairs and into the bathroom to have a shower. I didn't bother wrapping up in a towel when I was done because I was the only person at home, so I went into my room to get a towel and dry myself off.

I saw a big cardboard box on my bed. There was a note on it that said 'Sorry I haven't seen you in ages, there's a surprise in the box to make up for it. Ikuto'

He must have been in my house to deliver it! He was here, in this town! I started to think about where he might be while I opened the box. I'd missed him so much. Sure, Utau, Kukai, Rima, Yaya, and all of that lot had been great friends but there was something different about Ikuto that I just couldn't put my finger on. Where was he now? My question was then answered, I looked into the box and saw a man with midnight blue hair, cat ears, and a tail. I was so busy staring into his deep purple eyes that I didn't notice the situation I was in. I was naked in front of him and didn't even realise! That is until he spoiled the moment by saying, 'Me-ow! Your tits are huge!' I instantly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around myself. "I-I-Ikuto! You perverted cat! Why did you look at that! You should have warned me as soon as I opened the b-b-box instead of just staring! Pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert!" He just put on his usual smug grin and stared at me.

Ikuto's POV

"W-w-what are you looking at!" She screamed, before I knew it there was a red hand print on my face. Ouch!

"That hurt me Amu. Not just physically but mentally too. Like I told you before I left, I love you Amu. You're my Amu, and I'll do whatever I possibly can to make you love me.

"But, I-I-I don't really know what l-l-love is yet. And I don't r-r-really think I can love you. S-sorry Ikuto, you were a great friend but for the past few months you haven't even phoned me or texted me or stopped over to just say hi!" I saw tears in the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry Amu. It's just I've been busy recently. I got a job, running Easter. They manage all the celebrities. Most of the guardians are there to be honest. But hell, I can't make any excuses. I was wrong to just leave like that. You have no reason to forgive me. You deserve way better than that, and I will try my best to keep up to those standards. I'll leave you to get changed for now."

After she finished getting changed I asked her why no one else was home. She explained to me that her parents were on holiday. She hasn't moved out yet because she can't find a house, then she started telling me about her life so far. Apparently after I left she felt lonely and dated Tadase to take her mind off of it. She did like him a lot and she thought she loved him but there wasn't any spark and something just clicked inside her telling her that she didn't really love him. She broke up with him and she didn't really want to be with anyone after that. I didn't really have much to say myself, so I just told her about the celebrities I worked with: Yaya the agony aunt, Rima the comedian, Utau the singer, Kukai the footballer, and Nagihiko the street dancer.

Amu's POV

He was so handsome there. He wasn't doing anything that made me think that at all, but there was something about him. The spark was there, between us. Well I hope he felt it too. After he finished talking about the celebrities I just looked him in the eyes and confessed, feeling my cheeks heating up the whole time. "I-Ikuto?"

I can't believe I'm actually going to confess!

"Yes, Amu-koi?" I loved the way he called me Amu-koi, it just boosted my self-esteem, I don't think I would have been able to carry on my confession if he hadn't said that to me. "I-I-I think that I l-l-love you, I-I-Ikuto-koi…"

My cheeks felt like they were burning as I saw a huge genuine smile on his face when he picked me up off the sofa and twirled me around before standing me on the floor and brushing the hairs from my face. "I've been waiting for those words since the first time I saw you," whispered Ikuto, his warm breath in my ear.

"R-really? You've been waiting that l-long? I-I'm sorry I-Ikuto-koi. Forgive me?" I pleaded. "Of course I forgive you, Amu-koi," and with that he picked me up bridal style and carried me upstairs to my bedroom…
