*Amu's 18 and Ikuto's 21
Disclaimer:I do NOT own Shugo Chara (Single Tear). For If I did, there would be lots more Amuto.
Sapphire and Honey
Chapter 1
Amu's POV
(A/N: I'm skipping the crap about how she's like "Oh, I hate you, but now I love you" stuff; and they've been dating for 3 years.)
The night's really cold and black, and I feel it. But I, Hinamori Amu*, am ecstatic. My heals go click-clack on the pavement, and I'm thanking God that I remembered leg warmers AND knee-highs before I left for Rima-tan's. Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia are in their egg case, with cloth in there so they don't freeze up like me. Ah, speaking of freezing, a gust of wind just blew in my face. Awesome! Anyway, I see my house up ahead, and I rub my hands together, trying to get some warmth back in them. I walk across the front yard and burst open the door, shivering out-of-control.
"I'm home!" I yell, and run up the stairs. I get to my door, open it, and slam it loud, telling them that I'm in my room for the night. Putting the eggs' holder on my desk, I walk over to my dresser and put on my purple kitty pajamas. I open my patio door about 1/2 an inch, and then crawl into bed. Putting in my Ipod's headphones, I grab the TV remote and flip in to some carton. I pull the comforter up over my chin, and curl up on my side. My body goes completely limp; my Ipod (on Mama by My Chemical Romance) makes me almost fall asleep. But two big, strong-yet-gentle arms wrap around me. I tense, but I relax just as suddenly. I turn around, and look to his closed eyes.
"Hey," I say, softly.
"Hello, Strawberry. Awesome pajamas you're rocking," he says, smirk already forming. His eyes crack open, and I blush crimson; but I also grin. I throw my arms around his neck, and lay there with him. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Yoru fly over to Miki's egg. She opens her nest to see who is disturbing her, but visibly brightens when she sees the cat-eared chara. He takes her hand and they fly over to the little tent she made for them out of pieces of cloth. I smirk and close my eyes; snuggling into Ikuto's shoulder.
"Well, you seem to be extra happy tonight," he says.
"Well, you're here, aren't ya?" I reply. He laughs, and pulls me closer yet. He breaths in deep, then releases his tight grip on me. He props himself up on his left elbow, and we look into each others eyes. Honey and sapphire, my two favorite things; being Sapphire my birthstone (A/N: Amu and I share the same horoscope, so I thought we must share the same b-stone), and honey the sweetest taste. I am unable to look away from those deep pools of blue, but I didn't say I wanted to.
"Wanna watch a scary movie?" I ask. He nods, and a shiver runs down my spine. His eyes cause me to do that a lot.
"Why not? I getta hold you through the rough parts," he says. He gets up and walks over to the box of movies I stash away; the ones I watch only with him. After about half a minute, he picks the right one and puts it into the DVD player. I notice that he's wearing a black unbuttoned tee, faded blue jeans, and his signature cross necklace. He crawls back into bed and snakes his arms around my torso.
For the first ten minutes of the movie, it's just about their lives and what's happening. Then, they get to the warehouse. My grip on Ikuto gets tighter and tighter; my anxiety rising. The idiot girlfriend of the hero opens this door, and then AWAW! I duck my head into Ikuto's chest, and the suspenseful music ends.
"You okay, Amu? If you don't want to watch this, it's totally fine with me," he asks.
"N-no. I'm fine, really," I say, "And besides, you're all warm."
He laughs, and nuzzles my collarbone with his nose, which causes yet another shiver. He looks me straight in the eye, and brings our faces together until we're less than an inch apart.
"You still continue to make me laugh. You still amaze me. And, you're really hot," he says. I know my face is cherry red and burning hot from that last comment. He swoops his lips down to mine, and I thank myself for brushing my teeth extra careful. I wrap my arms around his neck; his around my waist. I move closer, until we're pressed together. He tilts his head, and his soft raven hair tickles my face. I laugh, and separate our lips.
"Something funny?" Ikuto ask, more light than pissed off.
"It's just that your soft kitty hair was tickling my face," I say. I close my eyes and throw my head back to laugh. But I make it quieter, because Ma, Pa, and Ami are still up. My neck is fully exposed, and Ikuto leans over and kisses the crook of it. My laugh catches, and I snap open my eyes. His velvety laugh and my embarrassment make me blush as deep as a sunburn. He reaches over me to the nightstand and grabs the remote to turn off the TV. I sit up beside him, and he pulls me into his lap. We sit there for what seems like forever; his long, inviting arms circled around me. My bubblegum pink hair's fallen in my face; my head pressed against his chest.
"Hey, do you know where Yoru is?" He asks, his deep friendly voice pulling my out of my Little World.
"Well, wherever Yoru is, Miki will follow," I reply.
"Yeah, you're probably right," he replies, and you can practically hear the smirk in his voice. He takes a deep breath, and rocks back and forth.
"Hey, I'll go find him for you!" I say, and get off his lap. But he just laughs, and lays me back down with him. His big muscled arms wrap around me, keeping my in my favorite place, next to him.
"No, it's fine; stay here. Yoru's not that important," he whispers, squeezing me close. I snuggle closer, and huddle the comforter around us. He kisses my cheek, and says, "Good night, Ichigo."
"'Night, Ikuto-koi," I whisper, letting sleep take me in its arms.
Me: Please, if you don't like it, yell at Tadase; not me!
Tadase: W-What? What did I do?
Me: Nobody likes you, that's what! You stole Amu from Ikuto in the anime, and I haven't read the manga yet, so for right now, you're on my list to be pissed at! Now, go to the corner!
Tadase: *Grumbles and goes to the corner*
Ikuto: *Points and laughs* Haha, Tadase! Amu chose me and not you! Oh that's too good!
Me: Okay, if you want more Tadase-hating Amuto, Review Homefishies! It's just that little green hyperlink down there. Yeah, just click it. There ya go, you got it!
