Chapter 2: Thank You
Ikuto embraced me under the setting sun, consoling me. We were interrupted by a doorbell. He let go of me so I can answer the door. I wish that warmth lasted longer, he felt so warm. When I opened the door, it was Tadase Hotori, the guy who left me.
"T-T-Tadase? What are you doing here?"
"I came back for you. I realized that I love you."
The word "love" seemed painful to me, forbidden and painful. I didn't know what to do, I was speechless. You made me cry for you and now you want me?
I wanted to cry.
"Amu, who's at the door?"
I turned around to see Ikuto behind me.
"You idiot! How come you not in cat form?!" I whispered.
"I'll go back to cat form when we go to sleep, I promise."
"Amu-chan, who is this?"
"Oh uh, he's my…………"
"Boyfriend. I'm Amu's new boyfriend."
"Ikuto!"
"I see. Then I will see you later, Amu-chan."
Tadase's voice cracked when he said that last line. Did he really love me?
"That went well."
"Ikuto! Why did you do that?!"
"Didn't he already hurt you? When he left you to go to France?"
"How do you know, I never told you!"
"……."
Ikuto got quiet all of a sudden.
"Ikuto, did you……."
"Did what?"
He smiled with a little blush.
"I'm going back to cat form. I already said enough."
A glowing light emitted from him. It encircled him until it shrank and he came out as a cat. He walked toward the bed and jumped on it. He stayed at the left side and went into a ball.
"I turned off the switch for the light and went to bed. Even though it's early, school is tomorrow.
"Good night Ikuto and thank you."
