Chapter One: is this ours?
|Ikuto's POV|
} FLASH BACK {
I was on my way home when I happened to see a pink head of hair bowed over a set of knees and Shaking? I listened closely using my cat like ears and heard the unmistakable sound of crying. –Tadase!- I thought bitterly. If he hurt her in anyway I would make sure to pay him back ten fold.
I walked over to the little pinkie haired girl and wrapped my arms around her and whispered "Shouldn't you be home doing your homework like a good little, A-m-u." I made sure to drag her name out and hopefully get her to blush and forget her worries, if only for a moment.
She didn't even look up and finally I heard her mumble "Go away Ikuto, I don't want to talk to you right now." Shocked by her words I tighten my grip and faked a voice of hurt child like poutiness
"Awhh, but Amu-Chan! I just wanted hug from my little strawberry." I heard her sniff and felt her heat up at my words and I knew I had her on the run now.
Slowly she raised her head and looked up at me, I could see her tears clearly still filling her eyes and I felt such pain my chest that I just wanted to…well, I wasn't sure what I wanted, maybe to beat up who ever hurt her? To take her pain away? To tell her I wouldn't let anyone else every hurt her? Yeah, all that and more but all I could do was stand there and remind myself –I'm not her boyfriend, I have no right to feel such things…or do I? I am her friend after all! Even if… - My thoughts focused back on her as she began to speak.
"Are you going to let go of me?" She asked and I saw a small blush begin on her beautiful tear filled face.
"Not until you tell me what happened." I said with a smirk, half wishing she'd tell me. Half wishing I could just hold her like this forever.
"Well…"She began and the whole story came out. By the sounds of it, her and Tadase [her boyfriend] had a fight and broke up and now she doesn't know what to do, she already misses him.
I hated hearing her talk about Tadase that way when it was me, ME who she should love. ME who she should be with! I lost most of my anger with Tadase when I remembered that now Amu was free, free to be mine.
I smirked at this and thought to myself –Oh yes, she will be mine!-
} END FLASH BACK {
Of course Tadase said sorry to her and asked her back two weeks later but she said they still needed space…then I asked her two months later to be my girl and she said yes. I smiled to myself at this thought and kept replying that day in my head.
Sitting in Sand Witch Parlor and watching her eat her favorite Ham and Swiss. And how red her face got when I asked and even the way she couldn't stop stuttering.
I sighed and closed my eyes just thinking of those wonderful memory's. –She's been mine ever since that day-
True, it's only been three years since then and even though she's still in collage, this is her last year and tomorrow we will be moving in together in this beautiful manner house on the street near her collage and just as near to the places she wants to work. I mean am I the best boyfriend or what? -Though, I hope to be more soon- I thought as I held the open small box in my palm, looking at the detail on the ring inside. –Soon- I thought, closing the box and laying it on the dresser next to my bed. –Really soon- and moments later, thoughts still full of tomorrow. I felt myself giving into sleep.
|Amu's POV|
"Ikutooooooo!" I whined as I felt the car go over another speed bump "Are we there yet?" I asked now getting really tired of this dumb blind fold Ikuto insisted I wear.
"No, now just wait a little longer." I heard something in his voice that sounded a lot like worry, but what could he possible be worried about?
"I told you, we don't have to move in together if you aren't ready for it…" I started a little unsure if this really was a good idea.
"I know but I told you, I'm fine with it."
"Then why the blind fold? We agreed we'd just go with a small apartment to start remember?"
"Yeah,"
Ugh! I hate when he does that,
"Okay…" I started again after a moment "then what's with the blind fold? Are you taking me somewhere special first or what?"
"I told you, it's a surprise."
"But I HATE surprises!" I said with my "Cool 'n' Spicy" act.
"Lair." Ikuto stated coolly.
Okay, maybe I did lie but this waiting is killing me!
"You know me to well, you know that." I said moving my face to the window, even if I couldn't see anything outside it would at least hide my smile from him. Although I'm sure I sense a smirk lurking on his face, which only made me blush a little.
Soon we came to a stop and he turned the car off.
"Stay there, I'll get your door." He said opening his own.
"I can do i—"he cut my off before I had the chance to finish.
"No, just stay there."
"Can I at least take off this blind fold?" I said folding my arms with a pouty lip act.
"Not yet." He said simply and I heard my door open and felt his warm hands take hold of mine and guild me out of my seat and into the open air.
I heard kids laughing, dogs barking, birds chirping, and the smell of summer cook outs and even the splashes of pools. It sounded perfect, wherever we were.
"wher—" again he cut me off.
"You'll see but first before you take off the blind fold, I want you to think about the future okay?" He said sounding worried again.
"Ikuto, what did you do?" I hated to hear the worry in his voice, he never sounds worried!
"You'll see, now…" he paused before finishing "Remember you love me,"
"Iku—"
"And remember you still have one more year of collage,"
"Well I know bu—"
"And remember the places you are thinking of working after that,"
"I kno—"
"AND remember one day you might want to start a family too."
I stayed silent. Partly because the last thing he said stunned me and partly because I feared he'd just cut me off if I tried to say anything.
Silence…
"Ikuto…" I began.
"You can take off the blind fold now." He said with an indifferent tone of voice.
Slowly I raised my hands to the knot hold on the blind fold tightly in place and managed to pull it lose. It fell and I had to shut my eyes against the bright sunlight. I slowly opened my eyes again, this time with more care and as my vision cleared I saw… -a castle? - No, it wasn't a castle but it sure looked close to it. It was a beautiful two story manner type house with a grand balcony spreading across the top floor. Three doors lead onto the balcony by the looks of it and the house was so long it looked like it took up two lots on its own. A wonderful walk way up to the big oak doors was covered by cherry blossom trees and the garage looked like it could hold two army tanks.
"Oh my…Ikuto is this ours?" I asked walking toward the house looking up at the beautiful colors and grand fire place chimney.
"Yep, I already had the movers bring everything over while we were at breakfast." Ikuto walked up beside me and put an arm on my shoulders. "Do you want to see the inside?" I saw from the comer of my eye that he was smirking, obviously pleased by my reactions.
But at this moment I didn't really care, I turned to him and I was sure my eyes where sparking as much as my heart and I nodded then he dragged me through the front doors and I felt like I got punched in the stomach.
I gasped and looked around gaping at the deep wood stairs leading up to the next floor, the million doors leading who knows where and…and…"Oh my…IKUTO YOU…!" I yelled as I ran to the window and looked out.
Across the lake I could see my collage campus. And through another window I saw a beautiful park.
Through all the windows was something beautiful and new, all the doors a new and beautiful or perfect room.
After running around shouting out things like "OH MY GOODNESS! IKUTO LOOK! THERES ANOTHER BATHEROOM!" Or "IKUTO! WE HAVE A KITCHEN!" I stopped and thought about something, this house was so beautiful and perfect in everyway. The colors, the floors, but…
I snapped back to reality when I finally saw a pair of fingers snapping in front of me "huh?" I said blankly realizing I had been staring at nothing for a few minutes.
"Amu, are you okay?" Ikuto's face showed worry at my sudden mood change, his deep blue eyes bore into my honey gold ones and I felt as if he was searching for an answer in my eyes. But what answer he was looking for I didn't know.
"How…" I started looking around the living room we were know standing in "How did you pay for this?"
By the look on his face I could tell I took him completely surprise and maybe he even feared I'd ask that.
After a moment I asked again, "Ikuto, how did you pay for this?"
"Does it reall—"I cut him off right there.
"Yes, it really DOES matter." I folded my arms and gave him my 'Now answer me or risk trouble' look.
He sighed "well, you remember my rich uncle that's pretty tight with me?"
I nodded.
"He chipped in a little." He said acting bored.
I just tilted my head to the side and stared straight into his eyes. I wanted the truth.
He sighed again and looked out the window closest to him "Fine, he helped out a lot."
I looked sadly at him then walked over to face him "Ikuto, why did you go through all this? I thought...I thought we were going with an apartment?" he looked down at me and took my hands in his.
"Because Amu, I wanted it to be perfect." He said this while dragging me to the blue couch near the TV.
"Perfect for what?" I asked as he pushed me down on the couch and sat down next time me "So long as I'm with you its all perfect, Ikuto." I said and closed my eyes leaning in to kiss him but suddenly found he wasn't there anymore. I opened my eyes and looked around 'til I saw him…-WHAT IS HE DOING?- I thought as I looked at Ikuto in front of me. - ON ONE KNEE! –
"I want it perfect…" Ikuto took my hands and held them tight for a moment then dropped them. "For this…" Ikuto lifted a box out of his pocket and opened it slowly. I saw the diamond ring inside shine with the light from all the windows.
"Amu Hinamori," Ikuto started, looking at my eyes with so many emotions I just couldn't read them. I felt a shiver run down my spine. "Love of my life. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
