Wow, second story or drabble in a week. I'm so on a roll. XD
I would like to organize all my one-shots and SONGFICs in a story, but I've already gotten reviews for them and I don't want to lose those.
Anyway...
Again, thanks so much for people who reviewed "My Savior" and "Our OuterSelves Aren't Real". I'm thinking of just changing it to "Our OuterSelves". It's shorter and better. You guys decide and tell me, please. And the usual.
I thank anyone who clicked this story to read it, I heart you! ^^
Snowiisan does not own Shugo Chara!.
Enjoy~
(P.S. Normal POV)
Amu and Tadase were in front of Amu's house. Tadase was fidgeting anxiously with his fingers while Amu was twirling her index finger with her hair.
"Um, Amu-chan, I have to tell you something," Tadase said suddenly. Amu stopped playing with her hair, and crossed her arms over her chest, a forcing a smile on her face.
"What is it, Tadase-kun?" Amu asked in her sweetest voice.
"I have to break up with you," he said quietly. Amu was shocked inside; she felt like her world and heart was shattering into pieces. But she was surprised of her smile was still in place. And yet, shes still knew this was happening. Their relationship wasn't working out. But, she hadn't known that it would hurt this bad.
"Yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking," she lied, trying her best not to let the tears drip and her voice to go hoarse.
Tadase exhaled a sigh of relief.
"Good, its just that I've found someone that we have more in common about and, you know," he paused as if Amu was going to say anything. She didn't. Instead, she lifted her head to face Tadase and said in casual voice,
"I just have to go to a drug store, do you mind?" she asked. Tadase smiled and shook his head.
"No, of course not. Well, I'll see you later....Hinamori-san." and he turned to walk the other way. Amu turned around and ran the other way, leaving Tadase to walk home by himself. This, however, was watched by Ikuto.
And there you stand, opened heart—opened doors
Full of life with the world, that's wanting more
But I can see when the lights start to fade
The day is done and your smile has gone away
Amu's smile was replaced by tears as she ran past the drug store, her belongings – which was only a purse with a cellphone – falling on the way. She ran past unfamiliar faces, and into an alleyway. She glanced at her watch: 12: 03 AM. Her parents would be worried sick, but she didn't mind. She had a whole different crisis at hand and she wanted to handle this first. Amu lied her back against the dirty smelling wall, letting her tears drip uncontrollably down her face. Tokyo's light was dimming once she got to the far end of the alleyway.
Why?, she thought.
Why does this always happen to me?
Ikuto suddenly walked in the same alleyway, and Amu tried to huddle herself, making sure that he wouldn't recognize her. Unfortunately, which her strange bubble-gum pink hair, he could easily know. He sat beside her saying nothing. After a while he said,
"Hey."
He was rewarded with sniffling.
Let me raise you up
Let me be your love
He wrapped his arms around her tiny, petite figure, and trying to whisper comforting words to her like, "It's gonna be okay. Don't worry.".
None of it was working. She was still crying.
"Amu, come on, he isn't worth your tears. You should know that!"
Amu stifled. Ikuto was glad that she at least quieted down.
"You should have someone better, someone like me," he whispered. He paused and Amu still didn't say anything. Ikuto sighed and stood up, a hand reaching out to her.
"Come on, Amu. Get up. Be strong." he smiled. Amu looked up at Ikuto, her tears almost dried. Then she turned her gaze on his hand, and grabbed it after a second. Ikuto held her by the elbows.
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep?
When the world is closing in
And you can't breathe?
May I love you?
May I be your shield?
When no one can be found
May I lay you down?
"Shh." he said. Amu suddenly started bawling into his arms.
"I-Ikuto," she gasped.
"I-I can't do it. He-He means the w-w-world to me a-and h-he's gone! I-It-It's like m-my world is shattering into pieces!" she screeched, and suddenly the impact of her tears couldn't stand her up. She fell to her knees and bawled like a baby. Ikuto went down with her and held his hand out as if in a may I have permission to do so? gesture. Amu didn't understand; she just simply nodded, and Ikuto wrapped his arms once again around her slim body.
"Amu, look, I feel sorry for you," he started, and Amu cried out.
"But, if you just give me one chance, I'll promise to love you even more than he did," Ikuto begged. Amu suddenly rested her head on Ikuto's lap, and murmured in a sleepy voice.
"May I please just sleep this off...?" Amu asked, her red eyes puffy from crying. He felt Amu shiver reluctantly and Ikuto slipped off his coat, wrapping it around her. She closed her eyes, and Ikuto saw her sniff his coat and smile in contentment. Ikuto felt his eyes widen.
All I want is to keep you safe from the cold
To give you all that your heart needs the most
"Don't leave me." Amu whispered sleepily. Ikuto shook his head and started combing her hair with his slender fingers.
"I promise I will never, ever leave your side like Tadase did." he whispered, venom immediately entering his voice when he said 'Tadase'. Amu frowned in her sleep, but otherwise did no other movement. Amu smiled slightly to herself. Her heart was already healing from the pain Tadase caused. It felt to her that was all her heart needed: Comforting. Even under Ikuto's coat, she still felt cold. Amu opened her eyes, and gazed at the streets full of people shopping for Christmas. It was snowing! No wonder she felt so cold. She turned her head slightly to look at Ikuto, and he was staring down at her. Her cheeks immediately hit a tint of pink and she turned away. Amu was disgusted in Tadase. Here it was, two days before Christmas, and Tadase had dumped her. That was her Christmas present from Tadase. Him dumping her.
Such an assy present, Amu thought.
[A/N: Hehe...'assy'. That's funny.]
Amu shivered once she felt slowflakes falling from the sky. She was too tired to look up; so she just tried to ignore them. Ikuto unbuttoned his shirt, and put that on Amu too. Once she felt the density of another object on her, she snapped her eyes open and gasped in horror.
"Ikuto, put your shirt back on, it's freezing!" she yelled. Ikuto shrugged. She tried thrusting the shirt into his hands but he just handed it back to her, seriousness in his eyes.
"No. I only want you safe," he said, with the same seriousness his eyes held. Amu felt herself freeze.
Wha..?
Let me raise you up
Let me be your love
Amu finally sighed and gave up. She knew there was nothing to change his mind so she just nuzzled her face into his leg. She blushed at the position they were in.
"Why do you keep saying stuff like that?" she whispered. Ikuto chuckled.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm in love with you, Amu." he said smoothly. Amu blushed and un-nuzzled herself from his leg.
"Why would you love someone like me?" she muttered, each breath she took coming out in a fog. "I'm a nobody. If Tadase can just dump me like that, then no one must care for me."
"That's not true!" Ikuto defended. He was truly angered by such brutal thoughts she was thinking just because the Kiddy King dumped her.
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep?
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe?
May I love you?
May I be your shield?
When no one can be found,
may I lay you down?
"I love you because you never give up, I love you because you always stay by someone's side till the end, I love you because you act tough even though you're crumpling inside and need someone to you comfort you. All in all, I love you because of you,"
Amu couldn't help but sniffle. Here he was, loving her like he loved heaven, and she didn't return his feelings back. Actually, she couldn't tell if she did or not. She had just gotten through a break up, and it was hard knowing what she was feeling. All she felt was pain and uneasiness. But that was easing with Ikuto by her side. She didn't want to be in a relationship for a while. She stayed quiet, digesting everything he was saying.
"I would love you, I would protect you from everything you want to be protected from, I...I would do anything for you, Amu." he said.
All that's made me
Is all worth trading
Just to have one moment with you
So I will let go
All that I know
Knowing that you're here with me
For your love is changing into me...
Suddenly, Ikuto's phone rang, and he cursed. He fumbled in his jean pocket until he found it and flipped it open.
"What?" he snarled. The other line was silent for a few seconds.
"Oi, Ikuto, your concert's in 15 minutes! Where are you?" his manager, Nikaidou screeched. Ikuto's eyes narrowed.
"Cancel the concert. I won't be able to come tonight." he said, his voice ready to crack.
"But Ikuto, we can't do that!"
"Postpone it or something. I just can't come tonight. I'm busy with somebody more important than my career." he said, his voice softening, now looking at the sleeping Amu. He hadn't heard her answer to his forceful confession, but he knew deep in his heart that she did love him. She just had to spend a little more time with him for her to un-bury it and find the truth.
"Fine," His manager growled. "But don't blame me if you have the paparazzi and fangirls all mad at you."
And with that, his manager hung up.
"See Amu," he whispered, more to himself than to her. "I would trade anything for you."
Amu twitched in her sleep and Ikuto's eyes immediately reverted to her sleeping face.
"Ikuto..." she murmured in her sleep. A smile broke out on Ikuto's face.
I just might have a chance.
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep?
When the world in closing in
and you can't breathe?
May I love you?
May I be your shield?
Where no one can be found,
may I lay you down?
Ikuto leaned down so that his face was hovering over hers, his hair on her skin. He placed both hands on the side of her face and switched positions so that nobody from the streets would know what he was doing. Amu still had a delicate little smile of her face. But, Ikuto however, had a smirk. He leaned down, and kissed her on the lips. It was a bit awkward since he was facing the opposite direction Amu was, but their lips still etched with each other. Amu wasn't kissing back, she was sleeping, and nobody could kiss in their sleep, could they? [A/N: Unless they're a big pervert. =.=]
After a minute, he let his lips slowly lay there, against hers and his smirk widened as he breathed in her strawberry scent.
"It doesn't matter either way if you accept my confession or not, because," he paused as his smirk was replaced with a smile and he closed his eyes. "I've already fell in love with you and I'm planning on making you fall for me. It doesn't matter to me how long it takes. I will make you mine."
Okay, this took longer than expected. About 6 hours. Damn...
L.O.L
After I listened to this song, I just knew to write this and it completely fits their relationship. Well, it does if Tadase breaks up with Amu. Which I'm hoping since I'm hating Tadamu more and more each day. Also, this song has because my absolute favorite song in the whole wide world. Or in other words, its in my "All Time Favorite Song" Award. And trust me, those awards are a big thing thing for me. Okay, thankies for reading! ^^
