Hey everyone! So I decided to write yet another Amuto fanfiction! :D This one I thought of doing because I heard this really great song called Gray Flowers by The Gray Havens and I thought it had a really amazing story behind the lyrics. So, I decided on writing an Amuto fanfic based on that song! I hope you enjoy it ^-^

I do not own Shugo Chara or Gray Flowers.

Chapter 1:

"The color-coded town,
They had one rule no grays allowed,
It was a great offense,
It brought no compliments,

A stranger to the town he came,
And met a girl that very few would say,
Is worth thinking of,
Still he fell in love"

Amu's P.O.V.

I walked down the street in my colorful summer dress. I smiled at the paved-blue road and the light purples and greens of the houses. I held onto my peach-colored purse as I walked into town, admiring the pretty red color of someone's mailbox.

I turned the corner as I walked only to find a policeman holding an old-looking man against a yellow car. The man appeared to have on completely gray attire. Each article of clothing was a different shade of the illegal color, and the man seemed to be paying for breaking the law. Silently I vowed to never break the law of absolutely no gray as I turned and took another route into town.

In town everything seemed to be quite crowded. Summer brought business, and business meant liveliness. Every way I looked I saw a different shade of each color I'd never known. Each color, except one of course, and that color was gray.

Some might think that my town is odd, but I kinda enjoy the brightness of it. No other town is as beautiful and colorful as mine, so I believe our town's law of banishing the dull color gray has good aspects.

Maneuvering my way through the crowds of people, I headed in the direction of the clothing store I planned on shopping at. My good friend Rima worked there and although she never showed it, she was always happy when I came to visit her. Plus, I needed a couple more dresses to wear for the hot summer season.

As I pushed open the door, I heard a familiar chime of the store bells which alerted the workers that there was a costumer. I smiled and turned toward the cashier, expecting to be greeted by Rima. Instead, I found myself facing an unfamiliar blue-haired boy.

I stared at the boy for a moment, noticing that he seemed to be just a little older than me, probably by a few years. After a couple seconds, I placed a hand on my hip. "Where's Rima?" She always works on Sundays."

The blue-haired boy shot be a crooked smile, leaning against the wall. "She said something came up, so I'm here instead."

Narrowing my eyes slightly and not completely satisfied by his reply, I decided to question a bit further. "What came up?" Rima would have told me if something came up and she couldn't go to work.

"Something about a purple-haired boy." He grinned, making me confused. Why would Rima tell this sketchy guy about Nagi? Wouldn't she be too embarrassed to tell anyone other than me about her (supposedly not called) dates with her crush?

"How would you know that? Did she tell you that?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"Why should I tell you how I know that?" The blue-haired boy smirked, then leaned over the counter so we were the same height and so our faces were extremely close. "You sure ask a bunch of questions, strawberry." He chuckled and looked at my bubblegum pink hair.

A blush appeared on my cheeks at his warm gaze and how close we were now. Plus, I was embarrassed by how he commented on my multiple questions. I quickly averted my eyes and stepped back a bit. "D-Don't call me strawberry!" I stuttered, hoping my flushed face would come off as anger to him.

I heard him chuckle and he leaned back again, grinning. "Then what would you prefer I called you?" He asked smoothly, as if nothing had happened.

I hesitated, then replied "Hinamori-san," and returned my gaze to him.

He smirked. "Alright, but how about that first name?"

I couldn't understand why I was blushing again, and I quickly stuttered out "A-Amu.."

"Well it's nice to meet you, Amu. I'm Ikuto Tsukiyomi. And since you're allowing me to call you by your first name, you can go ahead and call me Ikuto." He grinned, knowing he got me. My face flushed a deep pink, almost matching the shade of my hair which gained a chuckle from Ikuto.

"I-I never said you could call me Amu! I-I told you to call me Hinamori-san!" I clutched the hem of my dress, starting to feel angry but for some reason, I couldn't come to dislike this boy.

"Well then you shouldn't have told me your first name, Ammmuuu." He drew out my name with his voice, smirking at how much it made me blush.

I-Idiot! He knows how much it annoys me, y-yet he's doing it anyway!

"I-I refuse to call you by your first name, Tsukiyomi-san. Now can you please tell me when Rima will be working again?" I ask, trying to sound polite and calm at my last question. I attempted to get my blush to dissipate, yet it still remained.

"Oh she'll be working tomorrow, so you'll be able to see her if you stop by." He grinned as he spoke, making me wonder what was so amusing to him.

I nodded, "Okay, thanks." I turned around and began walking to the door, stopping as I heard the boy call to me before I left,

"I'll see you later, Amu!"

I shook my head with a soft chuckle, then exited the small clothing store. I have no intention of seeing you later.

Ikuto's P.O.V.

I flipped through the newspaper, confused that the paper they used was a light blue instead of the standard gray paper they used at my old town. Why did this town have such strange rules? This place is so bright, it's almost disturbing.

I lean against the counter of the store, glancing out the window at the color-coded town. Outside each store was a simple pink sign reading: "We don't like grays." These signs were amusing to me, and I found myself not being able to take them seriously. A town that doesn't allow the color gray? That just doesn't make sense to me.

My gaze was torn from the window as I heard the store bell chime, my gaze shifting to the door. I found my spirits lifting and a smirk appear on my face as the pink-haired girl walked in, wearing another cute dress today. Amu, the girl who got so flustered by me calling her by her first name. I couldn't figure out why, but this girl made me feel different. I felt comfortable around her, and I loved the way her face turned the color of her hair when she blushed. I also loved the fact that I was the one who could make her blush so much.

Once she turned her head to face me, her expression was shocked. I couldn't suppress a chuckle escaping my lips and she blushed, embarrassed that she was fooled.

"W-What? Where's Rima?"

I looked around playfully, then looked back at the girl with a shrug. "Not here."

"D-Don't play dumb! You told me she'd be working today."

"Oh, that's right." I grinned, "She asked me to work for her again today." I lied, knowing she wouldn't believe me.

"You tricked me!" She detected. "You knew she wasn't working today and that it was your shift. You just wanted to make me look like a fool, right?" Her eyes conveyed annoyance, yet something in her gaze reassured me for some reason. It made me feel as though she wasn't mad.

"You caught me, Amu." I smirked and leaned closer to her, the desk the only thing in my way. My heart fluttered at her pink cheeks and honey-eyes that were only mere inches from mine. Her breath seemed to have caught and she turned even redder, turning away from me. I craved for those honey-colored orbs to look back at me, feeling the need for her to face me again. Why do I feel like this…?

"W-Whatever!" She exclaimed, turning and rushing out the door before I could say anything. I wasn't exactly sure what she was saying whatever about, but I couldn't help a genuine smile from appearing on my lips.

Oh God, I've fallen in love way too easily.
