Amu's mind went blank. There was no way in possible hell that she heard what she just heard.

"Yo, strawberry, you ok?" the voice said again as he spun her around to face him.

Amu couldn't believe it. She found herself starring into a pair of beautiful midnight blue eyes that could only belong to one person. She gasped a bit as she took in the sight. Ikuto was standing before her. She hadn't seen him in over three months, and she wasn't expecting to see him for a long time. How could he be here? "uh…Amu?"

His voice brought her back to planet earth. "Ik-u-to?" she mumbled barely a whisper. She could feel her mouth trembling along with every other part of her, and it wasn't because she was cold. A slight brush crept to her cheeks as she reached out unconsciously to him. She touched his chest with one hand and ended up clutching his shirt. She dared not let go, scared that she would lose him.

When she said his name, a small smile crept to his face, not a smirk. IT was as if a man had heard that he was going to live from some horrible death. Just hearing her say his name, he didn't know she had that big of an impact on him.

"Is that really you?" she mustered to get out, her eye sight becoming blurry again for some reason. She blinked a couple of times to clear it, not noticing the small tears streaming down her cheeks. Her small grasp on his shirt tightened even more if that was possible. She was positive she was dreaming again. That she would just wake up to be horribly disappointed again. She didn't want that to happen again.

"The one and only." He said barely above a whisper, with the smile still on his face and his hands around her tiny waist. They both looked at each other not talking. It was as if they were blind and they both had just seen the world for the first time in their life.

Amu smiled to herself a little. "You j-jerk." She hiccupped a bit and laughed at the same time. She didn't care if the was a dream any more. She was just going to be happy, truly happy, one last time. He unwounded an arm from her waist and wiped away the tears that left streaks on her face. She sniffled as she let him do what ever he wanted. She was just too happy beyond words.

With her free hand she clung on to his jacket so it wouldn't fall off. Obviously it was his, how could she not of known?

He took both of his arms and forced her into a tight hug. "Yeah, but I'm your jerk Amu." He breathed into her head, taking in the scent of fresh strawberries once again. He had missed his favorite scent. She blinked a couple of times, still in complete shock that he was hugging her. But finally she relaxed and held him back, her arms around his waist. They continued to stand there for who knew how long.

After a while Ikuto broke the silence. "So Amu, have I won the bet yet?" he smirked a bit. Amu broke the hug and looked up at him.

"G-geeze, you perverted little j-jerk! You j-just have to ruin everything d-don't you!" she yelled at him in a hushed voice. He chuckled a bit. His little love was still the same feisty girl she had always been.

"Well, have I? I just wanted to know." He said putting on his little puppy face, but on the inside, he was trying not to explode. He just wanted to hear her say those three stupid words back. Her eyes widened in shock again.

She crossed her arms, shut her eyes, and with her nose up said "As if." All though in her mind she couldn't stop mentally slapping herself. Why didn't I just say yes? God I'm so stupid! She thought.

But he saw right through her little act, even though deep down, he was a little hurt. Why couldn't she just say it?

"Awww, Amu so harsh. Well, I see you're just not ready to admit it yet." He played with her. She looked at him, eyes wide, arms still crossed.

"Ughhh! You're such a pain Ikuto!" she said as she walked by him in an attempt to get to her room, only in time to be caught by a pair of two strong arms that brought her up like a princess. "Ikuto! Put me down!" She hissed.

"Nope, never" he replied as he jumped to the top of her roof.

"Why are we up here?"

"Well for one, you can't run away, and two, your missing the real beauty from your balcony." He said as he simply put her down and sat down with his legs hanging off the building.

He was right. It was the prettiest sight she had seen in her life. The full moon was out, and the clouds were covering it only a slight bit. The stars shined as bright as they ever had, and danced next to the moon as the small clouds floated on by. The lights of the city bounced off into the sky, disappearing at a point where it looked like they never even existed. Her mouth dropped a bit as she took it all in and clutched onto the jacket. She looked down at Ikuto, who just patted the roof right next to him, signaling her to sit down. She sat down, hanging her legs off the building like so, and continued to put on his jacket completely. He mentally smirked. His jacket looked good on her.

"You were right, I was missing it." She whispered.

"Yeah, you'll never know what you miss out on if you don't take a risk." He said as he looked out at the view. She starred at him, almost as if he was trying to say something else with those words… "I missed you Amu, I really did."

It was quiet. Just say it, Yeah I missed you too Ikuto, I missed you a lot. "Yeah, well maybe if you as least bothered to keep in touch then you wouldn't have missed me so much." She blurted out. That wasn't how she had planned on saying it at all. She quickly looked back down at the view, scared that she had said something wrong.

"I know, I'm sorry, I just thought it might be easier. But I see it wasn't." She listened. Why was he apologizing? She's the one who said something rude. "I promise that when I go back in three days, I'm going to text you so much that you're gonna get sick of me, and it will be as if I had never left you." He finished with a playful smile on his lips. But she wasn't really paying attention to the nice things he had said. She stopped listening after 'when I go back'. "Amu?"

"…….You're….leaving again?" She said barely audible. Her mood had just plummeted back down to the bottom again. Time to wake up.

"…..Yeah. I'm sorry." He said after noticing her expression. Besides her cool and spicy character, she never really had a poker face. "I just wanted to see you again." He added. She could feel the stupid tears coming again. She made a move to get up, but something stopped her. She looked to see his hand on top of hers. She looked into his dark eyes. They told her to stop, and she obeyed. "Please, let's just make the most of these three days. I love you too much Amu."

Her mouth opened and her brain stopped working again. She tensed up. He said it. He said those three words to her again for the second time. Say it! Her mind screamed. Instead, she just simply nodded her head. He smiled a soft smile and looked out to the view again. " I really do." He said, rubbing her cold hand slowly. She gulped and looked out. She never wanted this to end. Unconsciously, she turned her hand over, and held his. She never planned on letting go.

Ikuto's hand will always be warm. No matter where he is. That will always be the same.

They continued to sit in silence, just simply enjoying each others presence. Amu slowly drifted off to sleep after trying to fight the sleepyness away with blinking for a good 45 minutes. She ended up leaning her head against his shoulder, mouth open, slightly snoring, cuddling up to his arm. HE smiled at her as he picked her up and walked her into her room. He laid her down on her bed, and tucked her in, and was about to leave. "Ikuto, don't go." She said sleepily turning to face him. Her eyes were still closed. "Don't leave me," And then she rolled back on her other side, and had a kick boxing fight with the air. He smiled and crawled into the bed next to her.

"Don't worry Amu, I wont."
