I watch everyone practice until five, "Oh god I'm going to be late."
"Hey I'll run you to the theater so I can talk about when I can help teach you."
I nod and grab my coat and follow him out of the door. It seems weird that I'm following him.
When we get close to the theater he stops walking and looks at me, "There's something that I've been meaning to ask you, Amu."
"Yeah and what would that be?" I didn't mean to sound jittery but I couldn't help but to wonder why he would ask me that.
"Do you remember the first day we met?"
"Yeah of course I do. It was before I found out you knew my brother."
~Seven years ago~
It was another day at the park with my big brother.
It was my birthday it was the day I turned five.
I was running around seeming like an idiot, but they would just think she's a kid what would she know on how to act like in public. I ran off from my brother's side when he looked away.
It was a day when mom and dad were fighting and he took me out because he didn't want me to see that side of them. He was squeezing my hand more than usual so I got a little scared and when he let go of my hand I ran off and ran around the park until I fell down a sloped area to be found by a sweet young Ikuto who was hiding from his sister. He had seen me fall and rushed to see if I would need any help.
"Owie... Big brother."
He found me calling out for my big brother.
"Are you alright?"
I backed up and ran into a tree. He had slid down the hill to check up on me.
"OH my god you're hurt."
I nod and let him look at my ankle, "Looks like I need to wrap this up before I try to take you up that hill."
I back up only a little bit and tried to stand on my ankle to fall down. he caught me and blushed a little bit went I looked up from between my eye lashes and looked at him and had more of the look at him and he looked cute especially when he started to blush.
"Are you alright?"
Tears started to fall as I shake my head, "No, it hurts."
He picked me up in one single motion even if he was having a problem holding me.
When we got up he placed me by the fountain and told me to put my legs in the fountain and that I should stay right there. He ran off for a few seconds and came back with two pops. He hands me one when he come back to where he had set me down.
I smiled and right away started to drink it and like any little kid my mind went from my pain to a blissful taste of my favorite pop,"My fav it's great..."
He blushed more, "My names Ikuto what's your name?"
"Amu."
"Amu...?"
"Amu-chan there you are. I told you not to run off."
I look back to see my brother running towards us. Ikuto stopped blushing, "I'm so glad you found my little sister Ikuto." He looks down to see my leg hurt and that I'm sucking down on a pop and acts like any good big brother would, "What happened?"
"Big brother I'm rorry. I fell," I pointed to where I had fallen, "but Ikuto helped me and is really nice to me."
Ikuto blushed, got a look that I still don't understand, and shortly after he almost paled. I look at him and look at Toshiro.
"Thank you for taking care of my little sister I'm going to take her to the hospital."
Ikuto nodded and started to play his violin. I looked back to see him play that was the day I realized there was going to be no one else ever on my mind like Ikuto has since that day when I saw how he was protective, helpful, kind, and talented he is.
For a week Ikuto would drop by the house to hang with my brother and when my brother wasn't paying attention he would look my way.
End of Flashback
I didn't even realize I had started to cry even until Ikuto was wiping away my tears.
"So you do remember."
I nod and hug him, "You helped me and was a total sweet heart to me. Why do you treat me like you do now? Why can't it be like the day we met?"
He looked shocked, "Your brother cherishes you and is always afraid that something bad will happen and you'll get hurt. He thinks that s lot of guys will just end up hurting his little sisters."
I laugh; "Even though he's older than me I always thought he acted younger than my age instead of his own."
He laughs and hugs me back for once. "You changed a lot from that little girl that cried that way you use to."
I shove him a little well we make it to the door, "Hey that's mean."
"Still I'm glad you remember a little about me."
"I remember everything about you."
I look his way to see a slight blush, "What did you just say?"
He sighs and looks at me, "I remember everything about you because you've always captured my attention. You're always pushing yourself to do what you want, but you won't let it get in the way of others. You're who you want to be even if you hide a lot of it."
I couldn't help it I have to tell him, "Ikuto, ever since the day you helped me when I was five I fall for you."
"Darn I hoped it would be one sided because I'm the one person your brother trusts. I hoped to keep that for years, but how would he think that his friend his age and his baby sister fall for each other."
"He'll be mad but you are too loyal to try anything."
He smiles and pulls me into a tight hug.
