A/N I do Not own Shugo Chara or the characters nor do I own the song Next to You by Jordin Sparks... I only own my OC Kaci...
"Come on Amu-chan we're gonna be late for crying out loud" Shouted Amu's friend Kaci.
"I'm coming, I'm coming calm down already" Amu shouted back.
Amu took one last look at what she was wearing then ran outside and her and Kaci got into Kaci's car and drove to Paradise. Tonight was Amu's friend Rima's 21st birthday and they all decided to head to a karaoke bar in the centre of town. Amu wore a black and red Gothic Lolita dress with high heels and left her hair down while her friend Kaci wore a denim skirt, a black corset and converse high tops that reached her knees, Kaci had also left her long purple down.
Whilst Kaci was driving Amu kept her gaze out the window and thought of a certain blue haired pervert which made her cringe as she remembered their last encounter...
Flashback
Amu walked down the street towards her home and wished for the rain to fall. Amu wasn't exactly emo but the rain made her feel happy as it reflected her mood at that point in time, her wish was granted as the heavens opened up and the rain fell. Stopping Amu turned her head up to the sky, closing her eyes and enjoying the feel of the cool rain on her skin, unknown to her a certain blue haired feline was watching her,
"You know you'll get a cold if you stay out in the rain like this" called an amused voice
Amu opened her eyes and turned to meet sapphire eyes and very annoying smirk,
"Ikuto? What are you doing here?" asked Amu
" Following you home" replied Ikuto simply
"Stalker!!" grumbled Amu
"Amu... I'm hurt.. I'm only looking out for you" said Ikuto feigning hurt
"Whatever Ikuto... I'm leaving now" replied an annoyed Amu
Amu turned and walked away but was pulled back as a pair of strong arms encircled her waist and pulled her backwards. She gave a yelp of surprise and tried to break free,
"Relax Amu, I thought you were cold so I'm hugging you to keep you warm" said Ikuto
"No! I'm not cold now I would appreciate it if you could let go so I can go home already" Shouted Amu
Ikuto did the opposite. Instead he picked her up bridal style and ran all the way to her house with Amu struggling to break free the whole way. Ikuto finally reached Amu's front door and put her down and Amu stumbled a few steps before finding her balance by holding on to her front door,
"Why did you carry me all the way here?" Asked a confused Amu
"Because I wanted to, I enjoy having you in my arms" Repled Ikuto whilst smirking
"PERVERT!!" Shouted Amu before turning to enter her house.
" Maybe, but its the only way I know to show you I love you" Whispered Ikuto loud enough for Amu to hear
Amu stopped dead in her tracks and turned to look at him, but he was already gone,
"I love you too Ikuto" Whispered Amu before heading inside.
End Flashback
Amu never saw him again after that and it hurt her alot, it confused her as to why he would say something like that and never talk to her afterward, she just put it down to him teasing her but her feelings were real. Amu really did love Ikuto, she wasn't quite sure when she realised this but she knew that she loved him with every fibre of her being.
Amu pulled herself out of her dream like state when Kaci's voice entered her mind telling her that they had arrived at their destination, Amu just nodded and got out the car so her and Kaci could head into the karaoke place. As soon as the duo walked through the door they were drowned in music and someone on stage signing their heart out. It was Yaya and she was doing a very good job of an Avril Lavigne song, they pair just laughed and headed over to the table they spotted the others at,
"Hey Rima, Happy birthday,WOW you're 21 now" Giggled Amu
Rima just blushed and moved round to hug Amu,
"So Rima, are you gonna sing us a song?" asked Nadeshiko (SP?)
Rima just blushed and shook her head, there was no way anyone was going to get her on stage,
"C'mon Rima, its YOUR birthday, you have to sing us a song, If you dont I wont give you your present" Laughed Amu
Ok so maybe there was a way to get Rima on stage. After Yaya was done Rima walked up to the stage and sang Jordin Sparks This is my Now and everyone was surprised at how well she sang. After the song was done Rima walked off the mini stage and ran over to Amu7 hands outstretched waiting for her present. Amu just laughed and handed Rima her present,
"Thank you Amu, but now you have to sing us a song, and I will not take now for an answer otherwise you will get no cake tomorrow" Rima smirked
"Wha... but I cant, I..I. 't sing!" Stuttered Amu
"Yaya doesn't care, Yaya wants to hear Amu-chi sing" giggled Yaya
Amu just blushed and nodded then made her way to the mini stage type thing and picked her song. She could hear everyone cheering her on so she took a deep breathe when the song started to sing,
Two 'o clock and I wish that I was sleeping
You're in my head like a song on the radio
All I know is that I got to get next to you
Yeah I got to get next to you
She could remember some of the nights she had stayed up after He had left and she could remember not being able to get Him out of her head. She could rmemeber thinking of how much she wanted to be with Him.
Sitting here turning minutes into hours
To find the nerve just to call you on the telephone
You don't know that I got to get next to you
She remembered the time she waited at the park to see if He would show up and play his violin. She waited for hours but He never showed that day, she even thought of calling him but she didn't want to seem desperate to see Him. So she gave up and went home.
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
She thought that they could remain friends and her feelings for Him would just go away but they didnt. She remembered Him staring at her when He thought she wasnt looking and she secretly wished that He felt the same way she did. If He didn't why would He stare at her when she wasnt looking and come around to her house so often? Was it just out of friendship? She hoped not.
I asked around and I heard that you were talking
Told my girl that you thought I was out of your league
What a fool, I got to get next to you, whoa
Yeah it's five in the morning and I can't go to sleep
'Cause I wish, yeah I wish that you knew what you mean to me
Baby let's get together and end this mystery, oh
She remembered the time that Rima had told her that she had overheard Him talking with Yoru, when they still had their Guardian Charas, that He like her as more than a friend, but she was out of his league. She wanted so desperately to believe what Rima had told her but she just couldn't. She could recall not being able to sleep that night afterward and prayed that they could just get together.
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Whatcha got to say? Whatcha got to do?
How ya get the one you want to want to get next to you?
Yeah, yeah, to want to get next to you
She always asked herself if there was any hope of them getting together, if she could ever be the one He dreamed about at night, the one he would smile for. But she knew that wouldn't happen.
Maybe were friends
Maybe were more
Maybe it's just my imagination
But I see you stare just a little too long
And it makes me start to wonder
So baby call me crazy
But I think you feel it too
Baby call me crazy
But I know you feel it too
Maybe I, Maybe I
Just got to get next to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I got to get next to you
She just wanted to be next to HIM.
A certain blue haired pervert watched as Amu finished her song and joined her friends back at their table. She didn't know that he had followed her to the club and had watched her sing. She didnt know that he meant what he said that day but disappeared due to fear of rejection. He watched her laugh and dance the night away with her friends until the club was closing. He followed her and her friend home to make sure that nothing happened to her and stood outside on the balcony outside her room and waited to make his presence known.
Amu bid goodnight to her flatmate Kaci and headed to her bedroom to get ready for bed, grabbing her night clothes she went into the bathroom to change and sprawled out on her bed. She heard her balcony door open and sat up alert but was surprised to see Ikuto there, she blushed,
"I..Ikuto? What are you doing here ?" stuttered Amu
Ikuto just smiled a honest smile and sang a few words,
" Maybe I, Maybe I just got to get next to you"
Amu blushed ten shades of red and asked him nervously,
"D.d..did you .hear. me tonight?"
He just smiled and pulled her off the bed and into his arms,
"I love you Amu" He whispered into her hear
Amu didn't get the chance to respond as he lowered his head and kissed her. Amu saw fireworks,and stood wide eyed as he kissed her, but he took this as a sign of rejection and pulled away turning to leave. Amu immediately missed his warmth and pulled him back to her,
"I love you Ikuto, stay with me tonight?"
Ikuto nodded and they moved to lay underneath the covers and snuggled up to each other,
"I love you Amu"
"I love you too Ikuto"
They pair then fell asleep in each others embrace.
