Hey everyone! It's AmuletFortune98 again, writing yet another Shugo Chara fan fiction. Hehe, I say that like it's a bad thing, but it's not! I love writing Shugo Chara fics!

Anyways, this story is a bit different from my others. It's more of a comedy instead of the usual hurt/comfort or tragedy stories :)

So, this story takes place when Amu and Ikuto are much older. Amu is 22 and Ikuto is 27. Please enjoy and don't forget to review xD

I do not own Shugo Chara or any of the characters!

Amu's P.O.V.

What is going on!? I feel light headed... What am I going to do?

Well, here's Ikuto on one knee in front of me. He's pulled out a small black box, revealing a beautiful silver ring with a single diamond(colored a shade of pink).

I stand there, stunned as my hands cover my mouth.

Ikuto's... proposing!?

Truth be told, I never thought this was going to happen... I... I... I don't know what to say!

Say yes!

My conscious' shouting just confuses me even more. Ikuto and I.. we weren't in a serious relationship!

I'll be honest, Ikuto and I have had our rendezvous, and we enjoyed each other's company, but it was never an official relationship! Don't two people have to be going out first if their going to get married!? Sure it was implied that we were a couple, but I never heard, "Amu, will you be my girlfriend?" come out of Ikuto's mouth. Instead, I'm hearing, "Amu, will you be my wife?" I don't know if I can handle this...

My face heats up and I suddenly feel very unbalanced.

"Amu, I love you. I want to be with you forever, will you please be my wife?"

I'm about to answer, when I pause. What am I going to say!? I love Ikuto, I'm sure of that, but I don't think I'm ready for this... Sure I've known him since I was in elementary school, but it was just a fun, teasing relationship! I didn't think Ikuto was this serious about it. We've never even kissed! Not even a peck. On the cheek a couple of times. Heck, even on the neck(a/n: ahaha it rhymes! I swear, I didn't mean to do that! xD), but never on the lips! I-I've never had my first kiss even... Wouldn't Ikuto think about sharing such a loving affection before taking such a big leap?

"I-Ikuto.. I.." I shut my eyes tight and search for words. What do I do, what do I do!?

"Amu, if you need some time-"

"N-No!" I cough and look around, nervous and embarrassed. What am I saying? Of course I need some time! "Y-Yes.."

Ikuto looks at me, a puzzled expression on his face, "Wait, is it no or yes to more time?"

"U-Um... No to more time, yes to... the other thing."

Ikuto's facial expressions change in an instant to happy and relieved. He's actually smiling instead of the smirk he's always got on! Ikuto's up on his feet, embracing me tightly.

I return the hug and sigh into his shoulder. This is good. It's a good thing. I want this. Everything will be okay..

"HE WHAT!?" I pull the phone away from my ear so the ear-splitting shriek from Utau doesn't burst my eardrums.

"Y-Yeah.. he proposed," I reply, my blush clearly visible. Thank god she can't see it from the other line.

"Even I didn't know about this, and I'm his sister! What the hell! He's gonna pay for not telling me... So, you said yes, right!?"

I hesitate. All of my friends have always been teasing me about my relationship with Ikuto. They all insisted that we were going out, but I always denied it, even though I sort of believed it was true, myself, "Well, I-"

She cut me off, clearly impatient, "You said no!? Amu! You love each other! How could you do that to him?-"

"No, no! That's not it! I-I said yes!" I stutter. Who was Utau to say that we loved each other? I fumble with the beautiful ring around my left ring finger, admiring it.

"Okay, so what's the matter?" Well she's acting a bit bipolar today...

"Oh! Um, nothing really. It's just that.. Well, Ikuto and I have never really.. kissed," I mumble the words barely audibly, however it seems that Utau heard.

"Wow, really?" I blush, even more embarrassed now, "Well, we're going to have to do something about that," I can almost see her smiling on the other line.

"Utau..."

"Aw come on Amu! Piece of cake, nothing to it! Trust me, if you come on to him, he'll kiss you. He wants you Amu. Why else would he ask you to marry him?" Well that was a bit blunt, don't you think?

"How would you know so much?"

"Oh please, Amu. Come on. Have you really not noticed the signs? Wow, you're dense. Everyone has noticed but you. Ikuto has been in love with you since you were in elementary school!"

What? I didn't know about this! How could they all have guessed and not me!?

"Ok, well here's what we'll do. Invite him over to your apartment and say you wanted to celebrate the proposal by making him dinner-"

"You've got to be kidding me... I can't cook! You know that, Utau!"

"You can look up a recipe, and you'll be fine. Anyways, listen; after a romantic dinner,-dim lights would be a nice touch if you wanna think about that- just get to talking about how you're really happy he proposed and you've loved him for so long, blah blah blah. You can think up the rest. Make sure he gets the hints though! That way, he won't hesitate to kiss you!"

"I don't know, Utau..." This plan sounds risky. Odds are I'll probably end up making a fool out of myself by the end of the night.

"It'll be fine! Make sure you call to tell me how it went after! That is, unless you made other plans for the night-hint hint!" She giggles and I glare at the phone.

"No way!"

"Amu, you better start thinking about that stuff. You're going to be married to him, for crying out loud! Once something starts, it will lead to the next thing and you have to be ready. Trust me, Ikuto won't hesitate when it comes to that."

"Ew, Utau! I can't believe you know that about your own brother!"

"Whatever. Just do the plan, alright? You'll thank me after this is over. Ciao!"

I growl, "Utau, you idiot!" however, she's already hung up. I slap my phone closed and sigh. What am I going to do? I don't know how to cook very well. Ever since I moved out of my parent's house and into this apartment I have practically only been eating take-out.

I guess this plan wouldn't be a bad idea completely. To be honest, I really do want to kiss Ikuto...

Alright. It's decided. I'm being bold for once and getting this over with!

I'm about to call Ikuto and invite him over when I realize how messy my apartment is. Take-out containers scattered everywhere, books from collage that I'm suppose to be studying(but haven't made much progress on), dirty clothes, bottles of empty soda, and trash everywhere. If Ikuto came, he'll think I'm a slob and he'll be scared away! After all, I've seen his apartment, and it's spotless. I try to ask him how he affords such a nice place, and he just says being a musician has it's perks and benefits.

I jump off the couch and start cleaning up in fast-forward, trying to get it done as quickly as I can. After everything's picked up, I quickly dust and vacuum. It's still not as nice as his apartment, but it's better than it was before.

I reach for the phone again but remember a second thing. I'll need the ingredients for dinner! I quickly print out a recipe for soba noodles and dash out of the door to buy everything I need for them.

Once I'm at the supermarket, I look at the time: 5:37pm. If I want this plan to work, I should invite Ikuto over at around 6:30 or so. I run around the store, grabbing whatever brand of each ingredient that I see first.

Once I pay and finally get back home, it's just about 6pm. I put my groceries in the kitchen and grab my phone. Am I forgetting anything? I've cleaned and shopped.. Yep, I'm good!

I dial Ikuto's number and wait as I hear the first couple rings. Suddenly, I'm hit with a nervous wave as he picks up, his soothing voice coming from the other line, "Why hello, my little strawberry. What can I do for you?" I blush deep red, thankful he can't see me. However, I can still picture the smirk on his face.

"H-Hi Ikuto!" I try to sound enthusiastic, "Um, I called cause I-I um.. I wanted to see you tonight! Y-You see, I thought we could have dinner at my apartment and I could c-cook and stuff.." I trail off, not knowing what to say next.

"Sounds great. When should I come over?" I can hear the purr in his voice, sending shivers up and down my spine.

"Um.." I glance at my wall clock. It was 6:15pm, "Uh, about 6:30 or so?"

"Ok. I can't wait to see you, fiancé," I hear a soft chuckle then a beep, announcing that the call has ended.

I blush furiously as his sentence stumbles through my mind over and over. I-I'm his fiancé! I can't help but like how it sounds. Fiancé.. Ikuto and I getting married... A large smile creeps up on my face before I can register my thoughts.

I really am glad Ikuto proposed..

Ikuto's P.O.V.

I hang up the phone and lay back on my couch, letting out a satisfied sigh.

My little Amu's all grown up; we're getting married. It's everything I've ever wanted, and I'm so glad I get to share my life with the one I love. Tonight will be fun.

I smile and relax on the couch until it's time to leave.

I knock on the door leading to apartment room 3342 and wait for Amu to answer.

After a good three seconds maybe, the door opens revealing a beautiful, pink-haired, smiling girl. A girl who belongs to me. She's wearing an apron so I can't see what she's wearing exactly. Whatever, that can wait until later.

I give her a wink and a smirk and she lets me in, blushing while doing so.

"So," I say as I make myself at home, kicking off my shoes and plopping down on the couch, "What's for dinner?"

She glares at me, "Pig."

"But I'm your pig, Amu," I grin, and she blushes, turning around and heading into the kitchen.

"Soba noodles," she calls out to me and I nod. Wonder how this is gonna turn out. I chuckle to myself and turn on the TV.

After a few minutes of flipping channels, I hear a loud shriek followed by the sound of a pan dropping. I jump up and rush to the kitchen, "Amu, is everything alright!?"

"I went to pour the water into the sink but accidentally burned myself and dropped the pan..."

I walk towards her, maneuvering my way around the wet areas of the floor, "Where did you burn yourself?" she points to her fingers on her right hand and I gently grab her hand and bring it up to my lips, gingerly kissing each one. The warm skin under my lips makes sparks go through my body. Ignoring them, I straighten up again and look at her, "Better?"

She nods. The light blush on her cheeks makes me want to... Ahh, I put my thought in the back of my mind and smirk, "Need some help?"

She sighs, obviously wanting to do this for me all by herself, but I don't mind helping. I'm actually not that bad at cooking, "O-Okay..."

"You clean up the mess and I'll make the broth for the noodles," she smiles gratefully at me and grabs a rag, beginning to sop up the water.

After about 10 minutes of cooking, I glance at her, grinning, "I know what you're thinking; 'I must be the definition of a perfect husband.'" I smirk at her.

She blushes deeply and looks away, "No way! Don't flatter yourself!"

I chuckle. She's so cute when she is embarrassed.

Amu's P.O.V.

We finish the dish in less then 20 minutes and serve ourselves, bringing our dinner to the couch and sitting down together.

We sit and eat in front of some lame sit-com. Once we finish our food, we continue watching the sit-com until at least the episode is over. Ok, I admit it. The sit-com was actually pretty funny.

Before the sit-com ended, Ikuto wrapped one arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. He earned a blush out of this, but I didn't pull away. If I want Ikuto to kiss me, I'm gonna have to act like this. It actually feels nice..

I snuggle up close to him and when the sit-com's over, Ikuto turns it off and looks at me. Golden eyes attach to blue eyes as we stare for a couple moments.

This is it. I won't even have to start talking all sappy about how I'm happy we're engaged.

Ikuto leans in closer to me, his eyes closing slightly, but still open so he can see my reaction to this. After all, this is our first kiss. He probably wants to make sure I'm okay with it..

I close my eyes and lean in a little toward him, an answer telling him that it's okay. I sense him getting closer and soon feel his warm breath against my chin. Okay.. this is really happening...

As soon as I feel the slightest brush of skin, I retreat, panicking, "No!" I tumble backwards on the bed and cover my mouth. What am I doing!?

"Amu," Ikuto looks at me, a little concerned but also maybe a bit frustrated? "If you're not ready then that's fine.."

"NO! I mean... yes! No wait, I mean no!" I struggle awkwardly with myself as Ikuto watches, confused, "Okay," I calm down a bit and look at Ikuto, "I can do this."

Ikuto blinks a couple of times, then leans in toward me.

"Eh..." Ikuto's breath warms my face, "Uh.."

Right before our lips touch, back up again, "Sorry, just give me a minute.." I mumble, completely embarrassed, and turn away.

Ikuto sighs, causing me to panic. Would he call off the engagement because I refuse to kiss him?

Ikuto's hand brushes by my cheek, causing me to look back at him, "It'll be alright, Amu.."

Oh no, he's leaning in again!

"Ah, I-I" I feel his breath yet again, "I can't!" I pull back and drop my face in my hands, more embarrassed than before. What is wrong with me? Why am I getting worked up over something so small? I love Ikuto. Why should I be so embarrassed to kiss the person I love?

"Amu.." he mutters and I lean on his chest.

"I'm sorry.."

"Amu, it's ok. If you're not ready, that's fine. We have a month before the wedding, it's alright."

Ikuto and I agreed on a small wedding. Nothing big. Just a wedding at a small church with our nearest and dearest. That will reduce the amount of planning and decorating and all that, so we decided the sooner the better. A month away was the soonest slot in the church's schedule.

"Thank you," I mutter and we both lay down together on the couch. I place my head in the crook of his neck and snuggle close to him. He wraps his arms around me so I won't fall off but I'm still comfortable. We both slowly drift off into the world of dreams.

~Chapter End~

When I started writing this, I wasn't sure if I wanted to make it more than one chapter or not, but now I've decided. I'm gonna have more than one chapter! XD It'll be a short story. Only about 2 or 3 chapters, maybe more, but I'll be cute!

This is basically a comedic fluff story with a cute little story about how Amu and Ikuto try to have their first kiss before the wedding where the priest will say, "You may kiss the bride."

Sooooo, tell me what you guys think! Do you like it? Please leave a review! :D

Thanks so much!
