Apartment trouble : Amuto

....................------------------------------....................

Ikuto lives alone in his appartment, but needs someone to help him with the rent.

After seeing the paper announcement , college student Hinamori Amu offers to move in.

The situation gets worst; Ikuto finds out that living with Amu is not se easy.


Chapter 1 : Moving in with the devil

The shower cabine opened in slow motion. The tile felt like ice for his feet. The blue haired man wrapped a towel around his waist and walked lazily towards the door. Behind it, an early visitor was becoming pissed of waiting. The bags in her hands fell loudly on the black expensive hallway carpet, when the door cracked opened.

'Uhm.. Is this the way you receive guests?'

'Normally not, but I guess you would've made a crisis if I had went to dress up. I'm Tsukiyomi Ikuto by the way. Are you my new roommate?'

'Yeah.. Hinamori Amu'

Her stunned eyes followed how the water was dripping from his silky hair, onto his strong shoulders, calmly flowing across his muscled abs, then being absorbed by the short towel.

'Don't just stand there staring at me, come in!'

Amu's face reddened while picking her bags up in silence. She placed them shyly near the white sofa, looking around.

'This is huge!'

Her eyes glowed seeing all the luxury. In front of the white sofa was a black, fluffy carpet and a plasma tv above a fireplace. There were also two big windows from which the whole town could be seen. Amu got stuck there fascinated, looking at the miniatured people and at the small cars. She never entered a 30 meter building before.

'You know, it's even more beautiful at night'When she turned around, her jaw dropped, The sun was shining on Ikuto's almost bare body.

'And you should put something on, or I shall do, uhm... some slightly unpleasant things to you' she said with a serious look on her face.

'Ooh..' Ikuto grinned '..Like what?' approaching her slowly.

'Like.. taking out my whip!'

Ikuto sweatdropped seeing Amu snapping her hands in the air like she had the whip, but soon, both of them started laughing.

'So.. where's my room?' she asked excited.

'Aww, I thought you want us to share the same room'

'What? Why would I do that? I .. strangle hot guys in my sleep :) ' *grins*

Ikuto stood there for a couple of seconds then bursted out laughing.

'Let me get this straight. You dream of hot guys? LOL! And you think I'm hot? I mean, I know I am.. *admires self*, but-'

'That's. NOT. what i meant!' Amu's hands shook like mad, until Ikuto pointed to her room, and slammed the door behind her. Wiping a tear, Ikuto said:

'Even though the nerd acts all threatening, she can't even kill a fly'

'HEY! I HEARD YOU!'

Amu was really pissed. The room was nice, even more comfortable than her house's but Ikuto's behaviour confused her. Because she felt something strange the first time she saw him and the fact that he is reaching out to her too fast made her worry. In some ways, she was afraid of those types of guys, because of some past experiences. And to brush away all the rabu rabu feelings, she decided to play a prank on her new "friend".

After packing out and changing clothes, Amu found the kitchen. She saw Ikuto was at the table, in some large T-shirt and trousers, reading the paper.

'Staring at me again?' He lifted his eyebrows from behind the paper, grinning at her. Smiling, she said :

'No Tsukiyomi-san :) I'm thinking what I should cook for you.'

'It's Ikuto. Eeh? Do you have cooking skills?'

'Just. wait and see.!' she whispered between her teeth with grudge.

'How old are you, Amu?'

'What's with that all of the sudden? Well.. I'm 19. I'll go to college tomorrow.'

'I'm 25, in case you wanna know'

Amu turned towards the fridge in silence, but amazed since she thought Ikuto was a lot younger.

'Well Amu, since you came all over here just to see me, why don't you make me a cup of coffee?'

Soon after, she felt watched while she was browsing through the drawers. As she turned around, Ikuto's sapphire eyes stopped her from talking. Amu couldn't find the strength to move. Now she was sure. The feeling she had at the door took form ; realizing it's definitely chemistry. On the other side, Ikuto wasn't sure why he was looking at her so intensively and what was he feeling.

What he did know was that he loved to tease Amu.

'Did you know you that look amazing in shorts?'

Amu turned red and faked rolling her eyes. Ikuto chuckled, Amu being more and more (apparently) stressed.

'Coffee's ready!'

The tray with the two cups of hot coffee spilled on Ikuto even before he could blink. He quickly stripped off his shirt, almost shocked.

'Those abs again? -_-' This time Amu couldn't hide her blush any longer.

'SH*T!Are you crazy? What was that?'

Amu took her sandwich and eyes Ikuto (a/n : not his abs 8D) quickly : 'You haven't seen anything, Ikuto..' and then left from the kitchen.

Ikuto smiled brightly and wanted to chase after her but was stopped by his cellphone.

'Hey dude, did I woke you up?'

'No Yoru, my new ro-'

'Nee nee Ikuto-nya, let's hang out today!'

'I can't.. I have other things to do.'

'Awww, like what?'

'Like teasing my new apartment mate and making her blush'

'Woohoo, good luck then!'

'Thanks Yoru, I`ll need it. She's a tough kitten!'

he laughed and hung up, then resumed his paper reading. Little did he know that Amu eavesdropping behind the corner.

Squeezing her fists, she whispered to herself :

'You'll pay, Ikuto! Tough huh? I'll show you what tough really means.'

She walked slowly across the kitchen, looking insecure.

'You decided on what to cook for me?' Ikuto teased.

Coldly, she answered : 'Sort of.'

'How much can a girl your age eat?'

'A lot.'

'Well, seeing your body, I'd say that you don't eat too much.'

'Cut it out! Can't you do better than this?'

As soon as the omlette was ready, still not looking at him, Amu took out from her sleeve her "ace". She added the content of the little bottle all over the omlette, then put the plate in front of Ikuto.

'Huh? Is this for me?' he asked stunned.

When Amu nodded smiling, Ikuto said quickly the 'Itadakimasu' and ate half of it in a bunch.

-SILENCE-...

Amu started laughing her ass off while Ikuto's sensitive ears turned as red as a tomato.

'Aww, is Ikuto blushing?'

He looked like he was about to errupt and couldn't talk; he started coughing and his eyes got wet.

' !!'

'Are you crying? LOL! Some super hot ketchup makes you cry?'

'Water!' yelled Ikuto while caressing his neck. Amu placed a glass of water in front of him and left in her room.

'This college year of yours. will be. very long, Amu...'
