P.S Reading this to Wedding Dress really helps set a mood. Although for it to last the whole thing you would need to reply it alot.
He walked back into her life.
But after all these years it was too late.
She was engaged; set to be married in a month.
Recently, six months to be exact, she got back in touch with.....him. Now nothing could be reversed.
"I-Ikuto?" Amu stared.
"Amu"
It couldn't be him...could it?
They sat down to coffee in the shop and that's when the news was brought like a pile of bricks crashing upon him.
"You and the kiddie king....you don't say?" a smirked played upon his face
"Yes. So?"What was he up to?
"I thought he would of finally grown out of a child's taste."
Amu was offended and shocked "Wh-hat?...Hey!"
He laughed. She blinked and smiled. yep it's him...the same Ikuto as always.
Ikuto pov:She is still so adorable when angry.
"You know if you see Tadase you shouldn't call him that" She was getting serious again.
"Why? Afraid he'll throw a princely tantrum?"
Amu let that one roll off....but just this once.
"I gotta get going." She stood up.
"Yeah...me too probably."
He followed her out and they stopped at a bridge over looking the river. They stood along the railing and stared out.
"So....Ikuto....What have you been up to?" The 20 year old inquired. She still wasn't used to saying his name again.
"It's top secret... but I will tell only you." This is gonna be good.
"Alright" She smiled.
She took the bait just like old times he smirked.
He leaned in. I forgot how those eyes were....they are....so mesmerizing. She thought.
"Ow!" The charm wore off and Ikuto got a slap. Now that wasn't like old times. He thought while rubbing his cheek.
"You cat eared pervert!!!"
They stared at each other and then burst out laughing.
She knew what he was planning but she got the better end of it with the slap.
"So when's the big date?"
"This August" She took out an invite. "I don't know why I made a spare one." She looked deep in thought to him "Promise to be there?"
"I will" He smiled back. It was all a ruse. If you only knew on the inside I am breaking.
They parted ways. So it was too late. She had matured but was still the same Amu and just as beautiful as before. I guess we know who finally wonkiddie king.....He couldn't help feeling this way.....at least. that is for now.
Amu was busy picking out silverware and place settings when she got the message. "Um...I forgot... I have somewhere I really need to be." She excused herself from her friends.
Okay Ikuto what is this all about? Where is he?He was no where in site
"Ready?"
"Ah!" She jolted. He smirked
"For what?" She finally caught her breath.
"You are coming with me."
Okay what did this guy have up his sleeves?
They were walking for a while. Out of nowhere he put his hands over her eyes.
"Ikuto!"
"Just follow my voice"
She had no choice.
Finally they arrived and he let go. Everything was lit up. She remembered this place.
"Come with me" He pulled her to the center of it all. The amusement park glittered against the surrounding skyline. "Where first?"
"Um..." She hadn't been on a ride in years "This one..I guess"
Bad move on her part. It was a roller coaster and she had forgotten how they feel when on one. It's different when you are a kid, you love the sensation, but when you are adult it changes.
She scooted a bit closer to him on the ride. He didn't mind of course.
After that little taste she started pulling him everywhere. She remembered the place alright but forgot the fun of it all.
A few hours past. They enjoyed themselves so much. The last ride they went on was the scrambler. She giggled so much and he couldn't help but laugh too. She was pushed against him by gravity but she didn't care. She felt comfortable. He looked down at her. He truly did miss her but it seemed she had forgotten how he felt years ago.
After they rode that thing for the umpteenth time they got off completely dizzy and laughing so hard they could barely breathe. They ran over the best they could and fell back into the grass. It was the first time in months she had let go and was herself for once. The laughing subsided and they stared at the sky.
Ikuto stood up and held out his hand once the dizziness was gone. Amu POV:Where were we going?
"This is the last stop." He announced.
They stepped into a greenhouse. She remembered when she was trapped here and then got rescued by the man she stood next to. The plants were beautiful in the evening light. Flowers were interspersed among the green leaves. And in the center was a table set and awaiting it's diners.
"Looks like someone left this."
"Sure" Amu smirked. Total BS
"Well why don't we enjoy it?"
He lead her over. They sat dining. Who cooked this? It is so good. I should get them to cater.
After a bit they heard music in the background. "They haven't started the summer concerts yet. Have they?"
"I don't know."Ikuto stood and looked to the sky.
Just then Amu felt funny. She was engaged and all; and here she was spending a day out having fun with another guy...even though they were just old friends.
She stood to leave and tripped. Ikuto turned around just in time to catch her. They stared at each other, he had her around the waist and held her one hand. All they could do was stare. His blue orbs shattering all processes going on in her mind. It lasted another moment. He began to move his feet and she followed. They began to slowly dance and he pulled her close. All the thoughts melted away. All she felt was safe and secure in his comforting arms. Slowly she put her head to his chest and closed her eyes. She still had the same smell... what am I doing....she's engaged...and all I am doing is going to hurt her by damaging her good reputation. But... I can't help it. Her smell, the way it felt to have her in his arms again, her soft hair brushing against his cheek. It all was too tempting.
She looked up for a second and slowly they leaned in. Their lips were dancing so near to each other. He closed his eyes and she did the same. He could almost taste it. He wanted to remember this always, remember her smell, her breath, this kiss ; he didn't want it to end but she wasn't his.
The cell rang. Thank God. It helped him to let go
"Oh.. h-hi Tadase."
Crap! Kiddie king...her fiance.Suddenly he felt so guilty
"The what is tonight?... Oh the banquet. I am sorry honey."
Honey?Ikuto cringed. But he had no say in the matter.
"I guess I forgot" Amu giggled a bit. She was nervous alright. "I'll be right there."
Amu hung up and looked at Ikuto "I better get go...actually how about you come. It would be a great surprise." Before he could answer he was whisked away.
"Look who I bumped into."
"I-Ikuto." Tadase shook his hand "Wow you haven't been around in years."
Hmmm...Kiddie King has seem to have forgotten....or has he?
The dinner went over well and they avoided how they bumped into each other and where Amu was for the past couple of hours. Finally at one point they had a moment to talk.
"Listen... that back there." Amu started.
"Gotcha..never happened. We are and always will be good friends. One of which his getting married and the other has a girlfriend." NOT...Now I'm screwed. How do I materialize this girlfriend?
A GIRLFRIEND!! What do I care? Good for him.
"Sure. Thank you for that... and for today. It relieved some of the stresses.. at least for a little while." Amu sheepishly added.
"Any time..." What was that back there? Closure? I guess it was. "I gotta get going" Come on man is that all you could think to say. Tell her. He was battling what he wanted to do and what his conscience told him not to.
"Alright. See you later!"
"On you big day. I promised didn't I?"
"Alright!" She smiled and nodded before turning back to the party and Tadase.
I can't see this. He went off before he had a chance to see them kiss. He didn't want to. She couldn't be his but he couldn't get his mind off her. He still loved her.
The month passed. Amu busied herself with preparations and Tadase. Ikuto... well he couldn't get his mind off her. He still loved her. He saw her around more than once but he distanced himself. He wasn't going to wreck this for her. Somehow she'll leave his mind. She'shappy and that's all that matters. That felt like a sucky excuse though.
Ikuto lugged himself out of bed and began to get ready. It was the big day and it had finally come. He couldn't believe it really would but now there was no denying.
He arrived hours before other guests did and just by chance Amu had stepped out for a moment from getting ready. "Ikuto" She was beamingwith joy.
"Amu!" He smiled "You look wonderful." If she only knew. "Today's your big day."
"Can you believe it?" She replied.
"I wanted to talk before" He began but two bridesmaids grabbed her.
"We'll talk later okay." She said as she was dragged away. I wonder what he meant. He wasn't in wedding attire. I honestly never know what's going on in his head or what he is going to do. That's apart of his persona though. I wouldn't change it for the world......
Ikuto swiftly ran back and began to REALLY get ready this time. He put on the slickest suit, played with his hair until it looked good, and put on his cologne. After a shower of course.
That's it! I can't bear it.His heart pounded and ached.She always will be the one and I can't let her go without her knowing.His resolve was set. He would let her know. Whatever she chose would be good enough. One word would silence him.
The guests all sat. Amu stepped out of the room. "I-Ikuto?" He looked so hot in his outfit.
He walked over and put his hand on her shoulder. "You'll do great kid" He turned with tears beginning to well up in his eyes.PWhy didn't I just say it?
He tried to hide it but Amu could tell.
He dissapeared; like that he was out of her life and the ceremony began in only 10 minutes. She had no time to find him.
She entered the ceremony room as music began to play. Ikuto...why was he like that? He never has cried. One...Two...Three steps. She hesitated. No one stopped her. She was half way down.
"Wait!" Ikuto called as he stood at the opening.
Everyone stopped and turned around. He froze.
They turned back around. Should I wait for the speak now part or just say it now? Yeah. I already got her and everyone else's attention so I should.
Tadase looked miffed but it faded as he turned back to Amu. But behind her walked Ikuto. He closed the gap as she reached the altar.
"I should have told you this sooner. From the moment we met...deep down I have always loved you." She blinked but he gave no pause. "All I ever have wanted is for you to be happy. I could never say how I have felt except for once..... it seems you have forgotten though." He collected himself once again "If this is the only way you'll truly be happy and the one you have always truly loved then so be it. Forget I ever said a word. I just wanted to let you know; before hand so you could make a choice if you wanted."
She looked back at Tadase and then Ikuto. She blushed and stared down.
"It's not mine nor Tadase's nor anyone else in this room's choice. It's just yours..." He remembered what her guardian charas always said "Just be honest to your true self."
She looked up.
"May we proceed?" Tadase interrupted. Damn kiddie king!
Amu nodded and with that Ikuto headed to the back. He didn't come here for nothing. At least he got to hold her one last time......
We have spent the past years apart and miles away.Now it must always be that way.
Like I said please don't hate me. R&R though. I truly love AMUTO and I wish Tadase would fall in love with someone else or just dissapear off the face of this planet or off the face of that anime since it is fiction. But anyways. Please R&R
