Chapter 2: Sunlight

"You want to see me today?" Amu yelled loudly over the phone. "Oh, I'm sorry, are you busy?" She immediately felt guilty. "No… I was just surprised. Where would you like to go?" Amu sadly wished her guardians were still around. She set about making herself a cup of tea in the kitchen of her apartment.

"Why don't we go to the new amusement park?" She knew which one he was talking about. It was brand new and had all sorts of thrilling rides. She couldn't wait. "That would be awesome!" She coughed. "I mean, that would be fine." She sipped her freshly made tea while they discussed the details.

Hesitantly, Amu picked out a cute outfit for the date. She decked out in plaid shorts and an off the shoulder black top with a broken heart decal. I guess this as good as anything. Even though the guardians went back into her heart since she had grown into a fine adult, she still missed them.

Nervously, Amu walked to the amusement park. She felt a little strange seeing Tadase so soon after spending the night with Ikuto. Despite her troubling thoughts, she didn't regret her actions a bit. This realization lightened her heart, and she eagerly met her boyfriend. They met at the entrance. Tadase was dressed in another dazzling outfit, making him stand out from everyone. Amu smiled and hugged him. He was definitely her prince.

"What do you want to ride first?" Her dazzling prince asked her. She choked up even though she was dying to ride the roller coaster. "Uh… whatever is fine." He gave her another princely smile and took her hand to lead her to the teacups. They squeezed in and slowly began to spin the cup. Amu smiled at Tadase, and sat close to him as the ride began. Her stomach tied in a knot as she thought of Ikuto and when they rode the teacups together. No, Amu! Don't think about him. This is a date with your boyfriend, Tadase.

The day progressed a similar way. Amu just couldn't seem to say what she wanted to do. Tadase still helped her enjoy her day even without her input.

They took a break and had ice cream. Tadase silently licked his vanilla cone, while Amu enjoyed a chocolate cone of her own. She was deep within her thoughts when he interrupted her. She felt something warm and moist at the corner of her mouth. He was licking her! Surprised, she jumped off the bench before she realized what she was doing.

"You had some ice cream on you." His dazzling smile hypnotized her as she sat back down. "Amu… are you alright?" A worried look spread on his face. She laughed and waved the thought away. "I'm fine! I think I'm just a little tired today." Relieved, he sat back and enjoyed some more ice cream. "I'm glad."

She licked her chocolate ice cream some more, and her thoughts immediately turned to Ikuto. She remembered when Ikuto had slyly licked her chocolate ice cream when she was on a date with Tadase. She blushed and shook the thoughts away. She was with her boyfriend! Ikuto was not going to be the subject of the day!

"Amu…" The soft voice came from beside her. Tadase looked at her longingly. "Would you like a taste of my ice cream?" He shyly asked. She blushed, but nodded. Before she could go for the ice cream, he leaned in and kissed her. His kiss was cold and tasted like vanilla ice cream. She was a little taken aback, but kissed him back. It wasn't the first time they kissed, so there was no reason for her to be stand offish. Her chocolate mixed with his vanilla and their kiss turned even sweeter.

They kissed for a short while, and Amu began to feel normal again with no thoughts of Ikuto. She blushed shyly and Tadase did the same. "Would you like to ride the roller coaster next?" Amu nodded excitedly. They finished their ice cream and Amu jumped up. "Alright roller coaster, here we come!" She exclaimed as she grabbed Tadase's hand and raced to the ride.

After the amusement park, they returned to Amu's apartment. She turned on a movie and directed Tadase to the couch. Amu soon joined Tadase on the couch and handed him a cup of tea. They sipped silently for a while, watching the movie that was on.

After a while, Tadase set his cup of tea down and claimed Amu's from her hands. She watched with a questionable look on her face as he sat her cup down. Her question was met when he kissed her.

His lips were soft and tender. They gently plied hers apart, allowing his tongue to softly tickle the inside of her lips. A hand slipped around her waist, holding her as he leaned into her. They broke for a breath of air. "Can we move this into the other room?" She blushed but nodded.

As she led him to her bedroom, she wondered if she should tell him about Ikuto. She hadn't fully decided when she shut the door. "Tadase…" She couldn't speak further if she wanted to, as he silenced her with his lips. He held her against the door, and kissed her passionately. She felt herself melting into his passion. This was her prince and boyfriend, after all. The sun began to set outside.

Her hands moved into his soft golden hair. His hands moved to her waist and under the bottom of her shirt. He slowly moved his hands over the soft skin of her waist and back. He kissed down her neck and to her shoulder. He nudged the sleeves of her shirt further down her arms.

She felt herself shiver. She enjoyed his actions, but they were beginning to scare her. His hands moved up her back to her bra. She felt him attempting to unfasten it and felt the terror overwhelm her. She immediately dropped her hands from his hair and pushed him away.

"S-stop! I'm not ready for this!" She cowered against the door, wondering what his reaction would be. "I'm sorry, I went too fast. I didn't mean to pressure you." She immediately felt guilty. When it was Ikuto, time meant nothing, but when it was Tadase, she felt rushed.

She crumpled to the floor. "I'm sorry, Tadase. It's just a little too fast for me." He gave her a golden smile and held out a hand for her. "Don't worry, we'll take it slower. Come join me." He helped her stand up and sit on the bed. He kissed her softly, keeping his hands above her shirt and holding her close. "Tadase…"

A silhouette of a man sat upon a nearby rooftop. He gazed into Amu's window, and watched the couple on the bed. He watched her just like he always does when he can. He knew he couldn't be with her, but still felt jealous of the little king that could. However, it comforted him knowing Tadase doesn't have all of her, and won't be getting it anytime soon.

Ikuto smiled knowing that only he owned her tainted innocence. Even if Tadase got hold of her, he would never have her virginity. They shared their love for her and her love for them, but they would never share that. The room became dark, and Ikuto turned and leapt off the roof and began walking away.

"Why did you turn out the light?" Amu asked Tadase lazily. He shrugged. "It's bright enough outside to see. Besides, you don't have any curtains, so I feel like I'm being watched." He crawled back onto the bed beside her.

"Amu…" He breathed into her ear. Suddenly, Amu's stomach growled. She was horrified. "I'm sorry, Tadase!" She leapt from the bed and opened the door. "How about I make some dinner?" She gave him an honest smile, and he returned the smile. "I'm looking forward to it."

After dinner, Tadase sadly said goodnight to Amu. "I'll call you tomorrow." He gently brushed his lips against her. Amu leaned further into him, kissing him deeper. "Goodnight, Tadase."

Amu wandered into her bedroom and opened her window. She walked onto the porch outside and gazed up at the moon. "It's night again." She breathed in the cool air and felt the fresh air wash over her body. Her thoughts turned to Ikuto. In her heart, he was mostly associated with the beauty of the moon and the coolness of the night. She knew he wasn't coming tonight. She wasn't even sure if he would be coming ever again.

She re-entered her bedroom and slid the window almost closed. While the breeze washed over her gently, she laid on her bed on top of the covers. Is it wrong to love both Ikuto and Tadase? Tadase is my boyfriend, so I should love him the most, right? If that's true, than why doesn't he consume the whole of my heart? Why is it that Ikuto can consume my entire being at any time he wishes, and Tadase has to fight for it? She stretched out languidly while her thoughts consumed her. Before she realized it, she drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Amu woke as the sun rose. It was early, extremely early. Why am I awake so early? She rubbed her eyes sleepily and tumbled out of bed. She looked to the clock and realized she still had a few hours before she needed to prepare for work. She opened the already cracked window, and stood on her balcony, watching the sun rise.

The golden rays warmed her body. She thought how beautiful the sunrise was, and that Tadase would enjoy it. The thought of the blonde made her smile, and then she realized what she needed to do. She needed to overcome her anxieties with Tadase. She didn't understand how she could have sex with Ikuto, but be so frightened with Tadase over a simple bra removal. He's my boyfriend and a sweetheart! There's no reason for me to be afraid. She had finally decided. Tadase was her boyfriend that she loved, and she needed to treat him as such.
