When It Gets Too Hot Get An Ice Cream

By: SunamiHV

Pairing: Amuto (AmuxIkuto)

Summary: It's spring with the sun all sunny and bright, the flowers are singing and the birds are colorful. Ikuto is having one helluva time trying to control the Heat. It's not from the sun either. It gets worse when Amu suddenly shows up. Will Ikuto be able to contain the will of Mother Nature? P.S. It would be in first person, Ikuto's POV. So, mostly monolouge. Ahem... lime-meny-ish.

Disclaimer: Again, people. I do not... DO NOT own Shugo Chara! I just make up the plot of this story. So, woop de do.

Author's Note: Hrm... Thank you everyone for reviewing! I really need those reviews people! Seriously. It helps me get more motivated to come up with another plot, which means I'll get up another story! So, thank you! Love, love...

:

It was ok. This is normal for me now, at first it was awkward as hell, but now. Now, I'm more used to it. The rhythm of my pounding heart, the sudden dizzy sensation, the moment when all the smells are mixed together and my senses are on a high. It makes everything so confusing, as if I had drank 5 bottles of liquor already. That's not the worst part, either. It was the Heat.

The intense Heat. It wouldn't leave me alone, not for a second of peace. Even when I'm not in a character change with Yoru, I could still feel that Heat. It makes the hair at the back of my neck stand on end, I could almost feel my pupils dilate. And – I could feel my cheeks heat up at this – I could strongly feel the place between my legs tighten and strain against the fabric of my pants.

Glaring at the two lovebirds in the next tree over, I could feel the Heat rise again. The birds were rubbing their heads against each other and cleaning the other's feathers. Annoying, completely annoying. Looking away, I couldn't stand it. Every spring this happens. I hate spring. Spring is the time when I can't control the most meager of emotions. Lust.

I was in heat and couldn't take the pressure and almost let it out on a random woman on the street. There were people, of course, but did I take notice? No. I was too engrossed upon releasing the tightness between my legs that I was almost arrested for harassment. I blame Yoru for this. I could lose control if I'm not concentrating enough.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of pink tresses. Crap. Almost against my will, I sat up in the tree I was in and tried to get a clearer look at who it was that excited my senses and – hating myself for this – made the uncomfortable tightness in my pants strain against the fabric. I already had an idea of who it was. The only person I know who has pink hair, with those deep golden eyes and when I get close enough, the delicious tinge of pink caresses her cheeks. Somewhere in the back of my mind noted that she was now 16 years old. Hmm.

Ugh. Shaking my head to rid of the thoughts, I look again with a clearer head, as clear as I could get it at least. I'm only a man. I found her, by the ice cream stand in the park. I looked around for her friends that she would always hang out with and didn't find anyone. I could feel the character change beginning as the tip of my cat ears began to pop out. Stopping it myself, I got it under control.

I didn't need this. If I lose control of myself, who knows what I would do to her? Images of her right under me, clothes all astray and hair a mess. Bodies against each other and soft sighs touched with naked flesh. I bit my tongue. Immediately, the images flew out of my head with a flash of pain. No. I will not do that. No matter how much I just want to give in and take her away on a park bench somewhere.

As tempting as the idea was, I don't think she would appreciate that. So, I watched her from afar. It seemed that I was wrong. She was with someone, it wasn't the kiddy king – which in some way made me feel a little less stressed as I already was – it was the other boy. The one who played soccer. I sent a quick glare in his direction, somewhere in my animalistic drive I felt a sort of ownership towards her. And he was invading on my territory.

My glare hardened as she shared an ice cream with him, and I could feel the tips of the cat ears begin to pop out and my grip on the branch tightened. Subconsciously, I clenched and unclenched my teeth, trying to calm down before I could make a mess. Somewhere behind me, Yoru was flirting with anything that moved. He could care less if he would make a scene, so long as his desire is fulfilled. While I have to take extra precaution on everything I do, less I wind up in handcuffs again.

Handcuffs...

I could feel the smirk flash across my lips. Handcuffs might not be so bad, if they included a certain little golden-eyed girl. It might not be so bad. Should I be the one tied up, or her? I could almost feel the heat between our bodies and the touch of her chest against mine. She sure has grown since then. My smirk grew a little more with each thought, but coming to some of my senses, I quickly erased the thought away.

Looking back at the two, I could see that their heads had gotten closer together. Instinctively, I scowled and started to leap off from my branch in the tree and head towards them to make them stop whatever they were doing. As I got closer, a sensation swarmed over me and I regained control again. Cursing quietly, I immediately stopped what I was doing and hid myself from them.

Leaning against the tree I silently pounded my brain to help me think straight again.

"Nyaa, Ikuto, what're you doing?" asked Yoru as he floated over to me when he tired of trying to chase the birds into a frenzy.

"..." I didn't have to answer him, he wasn't looking for it anyway. Instead he flitted over to an unsuspecting squirrel and harassed it.

Rolling my eyes, I directed my attention back towards the two on the bench. When I looked they weren't there. Almost in a feverish motion, I quickly scanned my eyes over the plain trying to find them. Thinking that he had taken her to a secluded area and was, at this moment, trying to seduce her into something suspicious. It made me want to strangle him. Dammit, where are they?

"Ikuto?" I was so surprised the cat ears and tail popped out, and that meant the Heat was let loose. I whipped my head towards the very familiar voice behind me.

"Amu..." It came out slightly husky, God knows how close I was to jumping her bones right there.

"Ikuto... are you okay?" Without meaning to, I glared at her. The only thing I could allow myself to do was to glare at her. Anything else would lead to unwanted situations. Well, maybe some wanted.

She was taken back by my glare, usually I'd smirk at her and tease her a bit, but I'm afraid if I did that. Well, I think you get the point. Annoying. This whole situation was just plain annoying. "Leave me alone."

Amu was beginning to shout back a retort when she saw me try to take a few steps away from her. I guess it turned out that I looked like I was in pain which, in reality, I was. Fighting against the Heat was almost too painful. Too many times I thought that maybe it'd be easier to just drop my pants and jump her bones.

Amu began to get closer to me, which in my case was a very bad idea. I just got my cat ears to disappear now, and she comes and ruins my progress. As Amu was coming closer I could smell her scent; strawberries and melons. A low growl came at the back of my throat, and the glare I was trying to hold up probably looked more like a needy gaze.

As she got closer I kept backing up. She finally backed me up against a tree and she gingerly raised a hand to my forehead, "Are you okay, Ikuto? You seem kind of... feverish."

Feverish? If she would remove her hand, then maybe my body temperature would lower a few degrees. What was worse than her touching me was that her button-up top needed to be buttoned a few more up, or un-buttoned. My thoughts traveled down a lane where I was the one who would be unbuttoning her top, but with her so close to me, I was afraid that I might actually do it.

I ended up doing it anyway. Somehow, it didn't kill me as much as I thought it would. I stopped trying to get away from her and leaned into her face instead. Her pretty little blush graced her features and she became angry. My smirk was back, but I was still beating back the Heat with a stick. I unbuttoned another one of her buttons and this time, she reacted.

"I-Ikuto! What're you doing?!" She started to pound my head and somehow I fell. Which was okay, the view from down there was pretty nice, making my smirk a little more prominent. She noticed immediately. "Pervert!"

She made an attempt to slap her hand across my face, but I was too fast for her. Still trying to hold in the Heat, I took her hand and pulled her down on top of me. I gave a satisfied little groan as her breasts smushed against my chest, a few of her buttons were still unbuttoned and it gave me a nice little view.

"Mmm, what size are you now?" I asked in a voice I knew would invoke the most deepest of blushes from her, "Size C?"

I comfortably laid back and watched in amusement as her face heated into a healthy red colored blush as she pulled back to start assaulting me with her words. "I-Ikuto! How could you?! You perverted little stray cat! Don't touch me anymore, go away!"

I frowned at her choice of words. I don't think I would be capable to leave her alone, or stop touching her at the least. Frowning, I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her back to me. Again, the Heat was almost brimming at the edges of my mind, I wasn't sure I could contain it much longer. Still, at least having her this close to me might release some of the tension I could feel building up in my already too tight pants.

"You want me to go away, Amu?" I asked in my most heartfelt voice. Immediately, her face softened. I could have taken her right on the ground, she was just too adorable, too innocent. Her golden eyes were tinged with guilt and something else. Mmm, I wanted to find out what that something was.

I didn't let myself get any further. She was just too innocent for me to do anything else to her. So I pulled her further up towards me – alarmingly aware that my pants just got uncomfortably even more tighter – and buried my face into her sweet smelling hair. It was a mistake.

Instantly, I character changed into the ears and tail and my grip around her waist tightened. I heard her give out a cry, but I didn't care, I wanted her now. She could tell something was wrong and she struggled against my hold and tried desperately to get away. I grunted in pleasure as she brushed against my need and I gave a low growl and tightened my hold around her waist more.

"Ikuto! What're you doing? Let me go, please!" Her cry was desperate, and her struggles became more violent. I still couldn't hear her properly, a roaring tide of need washed against me and I leaned in my head towards her ear and gave it a lick. I felt her body shiver against mine. Lovely. "No, no, please. Ikuto..."

Her voice was so small, so scared that it stopped my next move. I stopped my hands that were already starting to pull off her top, and the character change abruptly stopped. Appalled at my actions, I almost threw her off me, but I caught it in time to make it a firm push instead. The tightness against my pants wasn't there anymore, but the Heat still was. I could feel my heart beat against my ears, the feeling of anxiety was still there, and the need. Oh God, the need was stronger than ever.

I got up and started to walk quickly away from her. If I stayed longer, I'm not sure I would have contained myself again. And as much as I found it pleasing, taking away her innocence without her permission wasn't right. I made myself not look back at her, she was probably crying. Who could blame her? I almost raped her.

Disgusted with myself, I hastened my pace. Quietly beating myself up for what I had almost done. I was going to go home, grab a truck load of ice and have myself a sober cold shower. It should numb the Heat to a considerable degree.

"Wait!" I stopped, but I didn't turn to look at her. If she was crying, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. "Ikuto?"

"What...?" I intended it to sound indifferent but with the need growing again, it sounded harsh against my ears.

"Wh-what was that? Are you... are you okay, Ikuto? It's not... like you." I felt her step closer to me, which was a dangerous thing at this point.

"Stop right there." The Heat was bubbling up again, but I willed myself to not attack her in a frenzy of kisses when I turned my head to look at her.

Her face was flushed, her hair was tousled in a way I knew I wouldn't be able to resist running my hands through. I felt the Heat double up on me and I felt my legs buckle.

"Ikuto!" She ran towards me and tried to help me stand. Bad move, it was a bad move indeed.

I whisked her around and pinned her to the nearest tree and started to nip at her bare neck. "I told you to stop right there, now look at what you've done," my voice was husky and my right state of mind was fogged with lust and need. The Heat, oh God the Heat was unbearable at this point. I was going to hate myself for this later.

I started to run my hands up under her top and over her belly, under her back until I reached a bra strap. "Ikuto! S-stop, please, no!"

Her hands tried desperately to push me away from her, but I had a good 20 pounds over her. She kept pulling at my hair and clothes, anything to try to get me to stop. It didn't work. I was fidgeting with her bra until I felt her reach up to my head and then – the strangest sensation – she bit my ear. Hard.

I was so shocked at the action that I stopped what I was doing. "Amu?"

"I-I don't know what's gotten into you, Ikuto, but stop!" I was still pinning her against the tree, and the defiant look in her eyes made it hard to concentrate on her words, but I eased up on her. "L-look, I don't know what's wrong, but I could help you Ikuto. Just... just not in this way." Her face turned a bright red, she wasn't really helping the matter.

"Oh? And in what way would you have in mind?" I brushed my lips against her collar bone and I could feel her shiver against me. Knowing that I could elicit this reaction from her made me smirk and I buried my face into her neck and inhaled her scent. Groaning again at the tightness that swelled against my pants. I really have to regain control, but it was so hard to do. Curse you, Yoru.

"What... What exactly is going on, Ikuto? Why are you acting this way?"

"... in... mph," my words were smothered against her neck and she shivered again.

"Huh? I can't... I can't hear you."

"I'm in... heat." I said a bit more clearly, reluctantly pulling my face from her neck. It was so comfortable there.

"Heat?"

"I'm a cat, remember? I can't help it..." I sighed and once more I snuggled into her neck again. This was helping out, at least. It was relieving some of the bottled up Heat.

"... So you're in heat?" She asked again. Really, is it so hard to comprehend?

"Yes." I answered. She paused for a moment before she pushed against me. Scowling, I pulled myself away from her as she stood straight and started to straighten out her clothes and hair. The few buttons that were unbuttoned that let me have a grateful peek at her breasts, she was now re-buttoning which barred me from any more secret little peeks.

I guess the disappointment showed because she gave me a look and shook her head. I just scowled more. Just then, she started to walk away from me. A sudden feeling of abandonment washed over my senses and for the first time since the Heat had taken over I wasn't thinking about getting into anyone's pants – hers especially.

"Where are you going?" The panic showed in my voice because when she turned back to me she gave me a soft, reassuring smile.

"I'll be right back, just stay there," with that, she skipped off towards the park and away from the secluded confinement of the trees.

I was sitting idly under a shady tree, the Heat was more controllable now. I relaxed a bit as I inhaled the fresh air, washing away the tense anxiety I felt. I was busy counting the leaves on a branch when I heard a familiar swish and step of a certain little pink-haired girl.

"I'm back." She stopped just a little ways from me. I looked up to ask where she had went and saw a strawberry ice cream cone in her hand. I blinked, obviously confused.

"What's that for?" I asked.

"It's for you," Amu beamed, her smile was so brilliant that I couldn't stare at her for long before I lost my cool again.

"Why did you get me an ice cream for?" She sat down next to me and held it up to me.

"You said you were in heat, so I thought I'd get you something to cool you down." My face faltered. How was ice cream suppose to cool me down?

"What?"

"Here, have a taste." She held it to my mouth, waiting for me to take a lick. I smirked and licked it slowly while looking at her. Her eyes widened and she blushed again. She was too cute sometimes.

After I tasted it, I could feel myself calming down a bit more. I don't think it was the ice cream alone, though. It's just that Amu was sitting next to me, holding up the cone for me to eat. Something about that made my heartbeat slow down, the brimming Heat cool off, and the constant need I kept feeling turn into a slight buzzing sensation, one which I could ignore.

"How does it taste?"

I turned my head and stared at Amu who was waiting for my answer. I smiled at her and leaned towards her some. Amu immediately bristled and started to scoot back from me, but I grabbed the hand that was holding the cone and brought her towards me more. I stared into her deep golden eyes feeling content to stay like this as I leaned in the rest of the way.

I licked her cheek.

"Aah! Ik-Ikuto!" She tried to back away from me as she was blushing furiously, but I was still holding on to her arm, keeping her there next to me.

"Hm, It doesn't taste as sweet as you though, but it's still good." Her face flushed even darker shade of red. I smiled and nuzzled my face into her hair again. "Want to share?"

"Ah..." she looked uncertain and I scowled.

"You weren't so hesitant when you shared an ice cream with that other boy."

"Wha? You mean Kukai?" She asked, her face looking oh so innocent. What is she hiding?

"Yes. The boy who plays sports. What were you doing with him alone?" I asked in a stern tone, my grip tightened around her arm. Even if the ice cream stunted some of the Heat, it still didn't erase the possessive feeling I had over her. I didn't try to fight it though.

"N-nothing. We were just talking, and..." she paused in her sentence when she got an idea in her head, "What's it to you, anyway?!"

"It doesn't matter..."

"Then why are you asking?"

"Never mind then..." I didn't feel like explaining anything, so I took a bite from the cone and looked away from her.

"Are you... are you jealous, Ikuto?" She sounded so ecstatic, and when I didn't respond she almost glowed.

What happened next I didn't expect at all. She gave a small peck on my cheek. My eyes wide, I looked at her as she just smiled at me. Her eyes glowing and bright. I bit my tongue and held back my temptation to swallow her face in a kiss.

"You're annoying..." I said halfheartedly as I took another lick at the cone.

"I know," she took a lick also and I sat back and admired her. Sooner or later I will make her mine, but right now it was just good as it is. "Ikuto?"

"Yes?"

"Next time, when the heat gets too hot, just grab an ice cream."

"Or I could just grab you..." I said slyly. The look on her face was priceless and I chuckled at how red her face was. It was just a matter of time when I could make her wholly mine, but right now I could wait.

Maybe next spring I could actually go ahead and do all the things I was thinking of. I should get a pair of handcuffs then...

Author's Note: Well, I guess that's fluff. It made me feel all fuzzy inside. Lol. I'm out of ideas for now, so the next installment would be a lot longer than this one had appeared. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to tell me, via review or PM. I rather have it Amuto based. Mmm.. I think Yoru disappeared somewhere one point in the story. Oh well. I upped the rating so I won't get in trouble... Well, please review! Reviews makes this writer happy and more willing to update more.

:D
