Chapter numero tres ! :D

This time the song is... "All I Want Is You" by Drew, from Varsity ! It was requested by... nobody xD It's just that I recently got my computer upgraded, and I had to back up all of my songs onto a external HD beforehand :\ Which is NOT fun. But anyways, afterwards, I stuck all of them back on iTunes, rather than just putting in the songs that I liked. And I listened to this song after like... almost a year :O And I fell in love with it again ! So yeah...

Sorry for not doing a request :\ Not to be rude or anything, but none of them really stood out to me. To write a song-fic, I really need one of those songs where I can just go, "BAM !" and I know exactly what I'm going to write about. I'll try to do a request next chapter, kay? :D

Just in case some of you guys (or none xD) care to know what's going on with me, school's being a major pain in the ass :\ But I'm proud to say I brought up my F in one of my clases back to a B+ ! :D ! Such a big improvement. Now I just have to keep it like that.... T_T

Hm... even less reviews :|


Baby, all I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you,you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
Baby, you're all I want~

Ikuto leaned back onto the park bench, positively bored out of his mind. He honestly didn't feel like going to school; since he had heard from a friend that he was supposedly going to have to take more than a few tests. Ikuto didn't want to be around for that.

He glanced around at his surroundings, trying to figure out something to kill the time. All he saw were parents with really small children, and the occasional couples walking by. He was the only one that was alone.

"Eh, Tadase-kun," A familiar voice behind him suddenly said. "Are you sure this is okay?"

Ikuto instantly whipped around, his eyes widening when he recognized who it was. None other than Amu Hinamori.

See, the years just keep passing by us,
And with it, you still keep catching my eye.
And you just keep improving, loving how you do it.
You're like the sweetest music in my life.

It had been a few years since he and Amu had last talked, even longer since they had seen each other in person. And back then, Ikuto had always felt some sort of attraction towards the pink-haired preteen. Although she probably wasn't a preteen anymore. What was she, 14 or 15? Ikuto couldn't remember. It had been a while, though. Amu looked a little bit grown up than last time Ikuto saw her, but she still had that childish thing about her. Her hair had grown out a bit more, as well as... other parts of her body.

But still, even now Ikuto felt that same attraction.

If anything, it was much stronger than before. Back then, she was a like a song in his life. One that would constantly be stuck in his head. Now it was like the song had been turned up to the highest volume.

And you can't just do no wrong,
It's been you all along,
You were the one for this song.

Baby, maybe I'm gone.
Yeah, I got it bad, Usher told me that.
Hope you know I mean that.

Tadase suddenly walked up to be beside Amu.

"Yes yes," He said assuringly. "No one's going to catch us, so just have fun."

Ikuto raised an eyebrow at the two of them. Were they ditching school, also? He was very surprised. Ditching school was his thing, not theirs.

Either way, Ikuto decided that he would follow them. Perfect way to kill time, plus he got to see that little strawberry for a girl. Besides, it would help with that feeling inside of him. It was like all those thoughts and feelings inside him about Amu had been bundled up and shoved away for the past couple of years. Now, they were all flowing out again at once.

I'd rather give you time instead of roses,
See your face instead of cash.
I'd give you love instead of clothing,
Is that too much to ask?

He followed the two of them down a few roads, and into a small flower boutique. He saw Tadase pick up a bouquet of roses, paying for them and then handing the bundle to a smiling Amu. The two of them then exited the store, heading to the store next to it, and the store next to that, and so on. In every store, Tadase bought at least one thing for Amu.

Ikuto couldn't help but scowl. He remembered that Tadase used to have a massive crush on Amu, and that feeling was more than mutual between them. But did he really think that he could just buy her stuff to make her fall in love with him?

Now, if Ikuto was in Tadase's place, Ikuto felt that he would do so much of a better job. He would just give her the time and love to do whatever it was that she wanted to do. He would spend more time staring at her, rather than the money he would have used to buy her things.

It was almost like Tadase was trying to take the easy route to Amu's heart or something.

Baby all I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
Baby, you're all I want~

Of course, Ikuto had had his fair share of tries to win Amu's heart. And he had failed all of those times. Of course, that had all been years ago, so maybe now it'd be easier for Ikuto. Not that he could really try anytime soon, since Amu hadn't left Tadase's side the whole time Ikuto had been following them.

One thing was sure, though, after Ikuto had watched them. The Amu he had known and loved back then hadn't changed a bit, except for having grown a few inches taller and having a more confident stride as she walked.

Which mean that Ikuto still loved her. And he probably would continue doing so for a long time.

Now, I might sound a bit strange,
I know every dude ain't feeling this way.
Baby, they ain't got you, most of them ain't met you.

After a bit, Amu and Tadase slipped inside a small restaurant off to the edges of town. Ikuto watched them as they ate lunch, not feeling the least bit hungry himself. All of his energy was focused on the pink haired girl.

He watched as the waiter left their table and appeared some time later with Amu and Tadase's food. Ikuto stared disapprovingly at Amu's plate. It had some sort of salad on it. Ikuto knew, from staying at Amu's house for a couple of months, that Amu hated salads. Either Amu's taste buds have changed for the better, or it was Tadase that ordered that for he had no idea that it was one of Amu's major dislikes.

Ikuto didn't like how Amu could like a guy like Tadase, when that kid barely knew a thing about her. He never got to know her like Ikuto did, he never got her to talk to him like Ikuto did, he never got Amu to cry on his shoulder like Ikuto did.

You know, you, the soundtrack of my life,
If I'm Jay-Z, then you're Beyonce.
I need you like Pistons need Chauncey.

Of course, Ikuto knew Amu much better, better than Tadase ever would. After all, Tadase would probably never get a chance to be smuggled into Amu's room, and end up living there for a couple of months while the rest of his life was like hell broken loose. He would never have the satisfaction of knowing that he could make the girl stutter and blush uncontrollably, and so much more.

Amu was the main point of Ikuto's life. Yet, she wasn't with him. She was with Tadase. Tadase probably didn't need her too much. With his so called 'princely' character, he could probably get any girl that he wanted to.

And he just had to pick the one that Ikuto just happened to want also.

Believe me when I say this ain't make believe,
Baby, you were
made for me.
Hope you know I meant that.

Even so, Ikuto knew that he shouldn't be surprised. Life and love had never really been good to him. When he had tried to confess to Amu, the first time he had been 'rudely' interrupted by Tadase's confession. The second time he tried, Amu slapped him in the face and called him a liar. So now, he had no expectations. No high hopes.

Still... he wished that Amu would believe him, even for a second. But it never happened.

I'd rather give you time instead of roses,
See your face instead of cash.
I'd rather give you love instead of clothing,
Is that too much to ask?

Ikuto suddenly looked up, intending to see Amu and Tadase still eating. Instead, though, he saw their table empty, Amu's uneaten food still sitting there on the lonely little table. He grimaced. So they had left, and now they could be anywhere. He had lost them.

There wasn't really any point in trying to going to find them. Ikuto didn't know how long they had been gone, so he couldn't tell where they were. Besides, it wasn't right to spy on people during their date anyways.

Letting out a huge sigh, he turned to head back to wasting away the rest of his day. But something, something bright red, caught his eye on the ground. Ikuto glanced down at it, and his eyes widened.

Laying on the ground, was one of the red roses from the bouquet that Tadase had bought Amu. Ikuto was sure of it; it looked fresh from the bundle. He bent down to pick it up, taking a good look at it, and almost laughed. The flower was such a bright red color, it almost looked like a fake.

It probably was a fake.

"Couldn't Tadase have tried a little harder?" He muttered to himself as he slipped the rose into his jacket for safe-keeping. He'd show it to Amu some time... sooner or later. Whichever one seemed like a better moment.

~ i S n o w X 3 ~

Baby, all I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
Baby, you're all I want~

Ikuto looked at his surroundings, before he finally realized where he was and why this route looked so familiar. Sure, he was heading home like he had meant to, but he was taking the long way.

The route that usually involved him passing by Amu's house, which normally also included a quick stop inside the girl's room to tease and play around with her for a bit.

It had been forever since that had occurred; Ikuto missed those times.

He shrugged it off.

"Don't think about it," He assured himself quietly. "No one but her parents are probably even home, anyways."

Ikuto shut his eyes for a moment before walking again, picking up his pace. And then, almost as if they were just waiting for this moment, Ikuto saw Amu and Tadase appear. They were walking, side-by-side, towards Amu's house. In Amu's arms were the bouquet of flowers, along with all the other useless junk that Tadase had gotten her.

As the two of them came closer, Ikuto quickly ran behind a bush. God, he felt like such a stalker. But he'd rather feel like a strange pervert than get caught by Amu and Tadase.

"So, um..." Amu said awkwardly once she and Tadase were in front of her house. "Tadase-kun, thanks. I had a lot of fun today."

Tadase smiled brightly at her.

I don't need the money or the cars. (no)
I don't need the celebrity status at the bars. (no)
I don't need the service up in the V.I.P. (no)
Momma, this is grown up,
Check my ID.

"So, Amu-chan," He said, hesitating just the slightest bit. "You know Hoshina Utau, like... in person, right?"

Amu nodded, confused about what was going on.

"Well," Tadase continued. "I kind of wanted to go to one of her concerts, but I can't seem to get a ticket, since all the places I checked were sold out. Do you think..."

"You want me to ask Utau for a ticket, don't you?" Amu finished for him. She didn't look particularly happy about it. Tadase smiled, glad that she understood.

"Yeah," He agreed. "So... will you?"

Amu thought for a moment.

"Sure," She said halfheartedly. Tadase grinned at her.

"That's great!" He exclaimed happily. "Well then, I"ll see you around then!"

With that, he turned around and walked away, leaving Hinamori Amu alone in front of her house.

I don't need the money or the cars. (no)
I don't need the celebrity status at the bars. (no)
I don't need the service up in the V.I.P. (no)
Momma, this is grown up,
Check my ID.

Ikuto frowned at the blonde-haired boy. He didn't know if it was just him and his paranoid thinking habits, but he had a feeling that Amu and Tadase's whole 'day' together was all for Tadase to get a ticket. A ticket which Ikuto hoped Tadase would never get his hands on. He didn't want him sitting there at his little sister's concert.

Honestly, Ikuto thought that this was a whole new low for Tadase. Skipping school, spending the day with Amu, buying her things from practically every store, making her happy...

And then taking advantage of who she knew and what she could get from them.

More proof that Ikuto was better for her than Tadase.

I'd rather give you time instead of roses,
See your face instead of cash.
I'd rather give you love instead of clothing,
Is that too much to ask?

Amu watched Tadase until he finally disappeared around the corner and out of sight. Then she looked down into her arms, which were still wrapped around the countless gifts Tadase had gotten her. She cast them a look of disgust, before walking around to the large trash cans in front of her house. In one quick movement, she had flipped the trash can open and dumped all of the gifts inside.

Ikuto smirked.

"Go Amu," He whispered to himself proudly.

With a triumphant smile on her face, Amu turned on her heel and ran inside her house. As soon as Ikuto heard the door slam, he jumped out of his hiding spot and walked towards the now full garbage can. He gingerly lifted up the lid. Ikuto had to admit, he was surprised. There were a lot more gifts inside there than what he had expected. Along with the rose bouquet, there were also large shopping bags filled to the top, various stuffed animals, a balloon, a few books, a disposable coffee cup, along with many other pointless, yet expensive things. There was even a bundled up wad of cash in there.

"Wow," Ikuto murmured to himself. "Tadase, did you spend more time talking to Amu, or with the cashiers at all those stores?"

I'd rather give you time instead of roses,
See your face instead of cash.
I'd rather give you love instead of clothing,
Is that too much to ask?

Ikuto glanced up at the second floor of the Hinamori residence. Sure enough, Amu's bedroom light was on, shining brightly. Ikuto smiled. Time to do something he hadn't done in a while. And he could guarantee that he give her more than some roses, cash, and clothes.

Because he could love her.

He quickly walked towards the tree he had always climbed up. He jumped from the highest branch and onto Amu's balcony. With his smirk on his face, he lightly rapped on the glass balcony doors. Amu, who was sitting on her bed, jumped up when she heard the noise. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was.

Tsukiyomi Ikuto. The person who hasn't been around to visit her like this for years.

Without hesitation, she ran over and yanked her door open.

"Ikuto," She whispered. Ikuto grinned.

"The one and only," He announced. Amu shook her head.

"No," She said. "What are you doing here?"

Ikuto shrugged, trying to look as casual as possible.

"I was wondering if you were really going to get that idiot those tickets."

Amu's eyes widened further.

"You heard?!" She practically screamed. Ikuto nodded. "B-but why?"

"Well, first off," Ikuto explained. "I just happened to be passing by and heard. Second, 'Hoshina Utau' is my little sister, remember? I have every right to know about who's going to her concert and stuff."

Amu sighed, and motioned for him to come in. As soon as he stepped inside, she closed the door behind him.

"I liked him," She said sadly. "I really liked him. And I thought he did, too. We skipped school for the day and we walked around town. He bought me so many nice things. But...but then, he..."

Ikuto looked at her face, and realized that Amu was beginning to cry. His expression softened, and he pulled her towards the bed. He sat down next to her, patting her back gently as she cried.

"What I don't understand," Ikuto said. "Is why you're crying over him."

Amu stared at him, her tears halting for a moment.

"I-I like him...," Amu stuttered as she tried to explain. Ikuto nodded.

Baby all I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
All I want is you. (you, you, you, you, you, you)
Baby, you're all I want~

"I know that," He said. "What I meant was that I could do a lot better than he could."

Amu blinked at him, her tears stopping all together now.

"You could do better...?" She echoed in a confused tone. Ikuto nodded again.

"All that stuff he bought you," He said, motioning to the trash can outside Amu's house. "I probably won't get you any of that stuff, since it's not your taste."

Amu's face broke into the tiniest smile. Ikuto gave himself a pat on the back. So maybe Amu really had matured a bit over the years. She hadn't accused him of lying yet.
"Amu," Ikuto continued, trying to sound as truthful as possible. "I love you. More than Tadase ever would, more than anyone else in the world would."

Amu's eyes widened.

"I...Ikuto," She whispered. Ikuto didn't move, he was too anxious to know what was coming next. Amu's smile grew wider.

"Do you really mean it this time?" She joked. Ikuto's face stayed serious.

"I meant it every time," He answered. Amu's smile was now wider than ever. She sat up, and gave Ikuto a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks."


YES. DONE.

Sorry xD You see, I'm not supposed to be writing this right now... I'm supposed to be studying for my English, History, Spanish, Science, and Math test tomorrow :\ But considering that I've been studying since around 10 this morning, I thought I deserved a break :) After 12 hours straight of studying. GO ME.

Anyways, I think the ending's a bit rushed again, since I'm constantly checking over my shoulder to see if my dad caught me not studying again ._.

Review please ! While I go back to being holed up in my room with a text book D:
