Day 2, Second Half
"I-Ikuto-koi... it's... so hot!" I complained while panting. It was so hot, I swear I could have died.
"It's OK, Amu-koi, you'll get used to it," he said and wiped some sweat off of his forehead.
"B-but can't we just stop?!" I asked angrily.
"But it's good," Ikuto said back to me. Good?! In what way?!
"But... but... it's so uncomfortable...!" I complained even more. My head fell onto Ikuto's shoulder and he rubbed my bare shoulders.
"If you want..." Ikuto said and opened the door to the steaming sauna we were trapped in. After being in that room for the longest time ever, I got out and got clear air. I sighed and walked out with him with my towel still attached to myself. The steam came out of the private room and we noticed how sweaty we've had become.
"See! It's hot in there!" I said. Ikuto laughed and and wrapped his arm around my moist shoulders.
"But it's good for you," he told my. I rolled her eyes and walked to the changing room with my boyfriend and we went into seperate rooms, I went into the girl's room and he went into the boy's. Where other changing room would we go to? We both changed quickly so we could leave the spa we were currently in. When we both got out, we spotted each other and walked to the lobby together while holding hands. When we left the building with the automatic doors shutting behind us, I saw Tadase on the other side of the street. I got scared and hid my face in Ikuto's arm and tried to avoid him. But it didn't help that he needed to go to the sidewalk we were on. "What's wrong, Amu-koi?" he asked me.
"Nothing, the sun's too bright," I lied. He looked at the sky and saw that the sun was barely out, it was just setting.
"It looks as if we've been here too long, because the sun's setting. Are you sure that's it?" he asked, still concerned. The boy with the blonde hair walked towards us and stared at the handsome midnight-blue haired teen.
"I-Ikuto?!" he screamed. I didn't bother looking up and questioning that, I just wanted to hide her face. Although my stupid bright pink hair couldn't hide my identity. "What are you doing here and who's this girl? I thought you and your dad went to Italy!"
"Amu-koi, show your face, this is just my little brother, not by blood though," Ikuto said. Tadase looked at him with shock. I finally revealed my face to the kid in front of me.
"Hi, Hotori-san," I said quietly.
"Amu-koi?! Who would want to date this ugly retard?" he asked Ikuto right in front of me. I curled my arms around his right one and held onto it tight.
"Excuse me, but I think you're lieing. This girl is beautiful and smart and caring, unlike you could ever be. She could get farther in life than you could, Tadase. Now, I'd bruise her lips with mine right now but I can't since I have to deal with you," he said. I held onto his arm tighter and squeezed my eyes so tears wouldn't fall.
"Hah, beautiful? No way, have you seen her or has she just been covering up the whole time? She's a pathetic loser," he said. He would say those words to me weekly. Ikuto lifted his left arm, the one I wasn't holding, and smacked Tadase across the face. It had been hard and loud, and the red mark on his face would probably stay there for a while. That bastard deserves it. People were looking at us now, damn, the people were looking at us!
"Tadase, stop being such a jerk. That is probably the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. I've seen her face so many times, and the first time I saw her, I thought she was beautiful. I fell in love at first sight," he said.
"But Hinamori-san is just dating a pedophile now, she's so desperate, isn't she?" he asked and laughed. Piercing eyes were looking at us, and I let go of Ikuto so I didn't look weak.
"Ikuto-koi, just stop. Let's go now," I told him quietly.
"But this bastard needs a lesson to talk about you this way!" he screamed. I wanted Tadase to be tortured like I was, but that would be too mean. I touched Ikuto's arm and looked him in the eye with my moist ones.
"Just stop, I'm fine," I told him.
"No, you're not. Let me teach this kid a lesson!" he told me. Why? What he was saying was the truth anyways.
"Ikuto, she knows it's the truth anyways. So just stop helping her, idiot," he said and brushed his bangs out of his eyes. He walked past us and hit my shoulder with his, and I looked down at the ground and held Ikuto's hand.
"Can we go home now? Please?" I asked him. He looked at me with furrowed brows.
"Damn, Amu-koi. You should have let me beat him up!" he told me.
"That's sweet of you, Ikuto-koi, but there's no need for that. He said it, it's the truth. But not the part when he said I was desperate..." I said to him. I saw him pinch his nose bridge and then kneeled down on his knee so his back was facing me.
"Here, I'll give you a piggy-back ride home. And what Tadase said were lies, he's really ridiculous. Who else has been bullying you?" he asked when I mounted his back. He stood up and held my legs while I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Everyone at school. I already said that, but it's nothing. I can tolerate it," I told him, although I wasn't so sure I could keep those words.
"Amu-koi, are you sure?" he asked me. How many damn times do I have to repeat it?
"Yes, I'm sure," I told him. This damn boy couldn't listen...
"I love you," he told me. I couldn't help but make my cheeks pink.
"I love you more," I said.
"No, I love you more," he said. This was going to become a big argument.
"No! Ikuto-koi, I love you more than anything!" I said. I hope he knew that I did love him a lot.
"I love you more than life," he said. My face become red.
"I love you more than the world," I said.
"I would die for you," he told me. Now my face was the darkest shade of red there was.
"I love you so much that I'd shield you from a bullet and a grenade coming at you at lightning speed," I said, wow, that was really pathetic. I could see him smile from the side of his face. He took one of my thin arms with his hand and I wrapped my leg around his waist. He removed the material on my arm. He kissed the cuts and scars on it while he continued walking. He's so sweet...
"I freaking love you, Amu-koi," he told me.
"I love you too, Ikuto-koi," I said to him. He kissed my right arm still and I didn't feel the stinging sensation anymore. I crept my head over to his cheek and kissed it. I did more than kiss it once, I kissed it so many times and I could tell he appreciated it because he smiled and gave me a kiss on my lips. I finally needed courage to ask him this, although it may sound ridiculous. "I-Ikuto-koi, why do you love me? There's nothing good about me," I said. I waited for his answer, and I knew he would say something right when he stopped kissing my wrist.
"You're beautiful and cute, you're caring and lovable, there's a lot of things good about you. There are a lot of special things. You're so funny and nice when we talk together. Now my dream came true, now that you're my girlfriend. And you're my future wife, anyways," he told me. Wife!?
"Wife? Wife?! Wife!?" I asked and punched his back.
"I asked your parents about it and they accepted, since I'm such a nice guy. They only let me marry you if we fell in love, and we've fallen in love now, so we have the permission to marry each other," he said. I wrapped my arms around him in joy and tightened my hold. "A-Amu-koi.. ugh, ack! You're choking me..." he whispered. I loosened and freaked out.
"I-I-I'm sorry!" I screamed. He laughed and started kissing my wrists again. He moved to the other when we were half way home.
When we were there, he put me down and we wrapped each other in our arms. My head was against his chest and I smelt his scent, it smelled different than what my dad smelt like. We walked in together holding hands and my mom was sitting on the couch, talking to my dad and Ami. "Amu, how was your day with Ikuto?" she asked and wasn't even concerned about us coming home late. I looked at the tall boy next to me.
"It was fun. We went to the movies and then to the spa together since her cold went away after a few hours," he said. Phew, so we didn't have to lie that much.
"So I see you're dating, right?" she said and looked at our linked hands. She fixed her glasses so it was on her nose, and it shined so much that I could hardly see her eyes, although I did see her tense eyebrows.
"Yes, Mom... we started dating today," I said. It was sort of embarassing telling this to my mom. She turned around and let my dad do the talking while Ami was staring at our hands and looking at the two of us.
"Amu...!" he whined. He had always been terrified of the day I'd find a boyfriend. I never thought I would. But I do by luck now... and he had to be so attractive. How did I manage to get someone like this?
"It is getting late so we'll be thinking about sleeping soon. Thank you for letting me date your daughter," he said and bowed. He was being so formal.
"You don't have to be so formal, Ikuto-koi! It's OK to be casual to my parents," I told him. He looked at me for a second and then spoke.
"S-sure." He nodded and waved to my parents and led me to my bedroom. "So do you want to take a bath together?" the pervert asked.
"No way!" I said.
"Hahaha! Are you sure?" he asked again.
"Yes, I'm sure. Let's not take a bath together. We can go in the bath together with our bathing suits on if you want," I said. I was thinking of something like a hotspring, but we didn't have that sort of thing so the bathtub would do.
"Yeah we can, I don't think I brought my bathingsuit though," he said.
"You can use my dad's if you want," I suggested, "I'll go ask." I walked downstairs again to the couch the rest of my family were talking on. "Dad, can Ikuto use one of your bathingsuits?" I asked.
"Eh, it's too late to go to a pool now," he said.
"We're not going to the pool," I told him and started getting a little impatient.
"Then why do you need one?" he asked. So nosy...
"Ikuto-koi and I want to use the bath tub like a hot tub, so is it OK if he uses one?" I asked and maintaned my voice so it didn't sound as though I was impatient.
"S-sure..." he said hesitantly. I gave him a thanks and went to my parent's bedroom and got one for Ikuto. It was a regular black one with a red stripe on the sides. I headed back to my bedroom and saw that my boyfriend wasn't there, and I heard the bathtub going. I walked over there and saw him shirtless. Damn, his body was hot. I saw only his back muscles, but that was enough to start making me feel some blood in my nose. He turned around and noticed how I was leaning on the door frame and checking him out. I shouldn't have bit my lip to give him more suspicion. He saw me still staring at him and turned around and walked towards me.
"Yes, Amu-koi?" he asked. I got out of my gaze and gave him his bathingsuit. I saw his hard abs and his broad chest. I hardly saw how big his muscles were from the long sleeved shirts he usually wore. I needed to get some words out.
"H-here's your bathingsuit," I said and tripped on my sentence. I'm so ridiculous. He smirked at me and I saw his lips move but I didn't understand because I was too hypnotized by his body.
"Amu-koi, oi!" he said and tried to get my attention, which it did, "I love you," he told me again. I blushed deeply.
"Love you too, I have to go change now," I said and tried to resist touching his body. I walked to the other side of the wall to my bedroom and walked in. I saw a bathingsuit that was on my bed that Ikuto must've found. And geez, that was my most revealing one too... I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror. It's only Ikuto in the bathroom so no worries, I thought when I saw the fat on my stomach that was covered in scars. The scars make me realize the past is real...
"Amu-koi, hurry up," I heard Ikuto say who was in the door way. I saw him looking at my body too. "Amu, Amu, Amu. You look so cute in that," he told me. I must say that this bikini was sort of cute. It was a light pink, a few shades darker than my hair. And the top had covered my chest, and it tied behind my back, making it have no sleeves or tie-ups. It scrunched in the middle where my small cleavage was. And the panties were like regular ones, it had ties on the side, but they were red bows, and they fit perfectly. He walked over to me and lifted me up princess style. Then I realized how hot he looked in that bathingsuit. It showed his V-cut perfectly and it was right below his sexy abs. Damn, how did I manage to catch this beast? We, or he, walked to the bathroom and he closed the door behind us when we got in. The room was warm and steaming from the water in the bath tub. He started to put me in slowly, and the hot water touched my skin which became sensitive.
"Ouch," I said quietly.
"Too hot?" he asked.
"Nope, it's OK," I said. He put me in slowly still while he examined my body. I saw his wandering eyes and said, "Ikuto-koi, my eyes are here," I said and pointed to my eyes. I finally got half of my body in without feeling burnt and he put my whole body in once he realized I was comfortable. He walked in like it was nothing and sat next to me at the left side of the bath tub. I cuddled up with him and we talked for a little bit. "We could've done with since we missed the hot tub at the spa," I said.
"Yeah. And near that spa was the most gigantic jerk ever," he said, referring to Tadase," I couldn't believe that goody-two shoes called you those names." He held me tighter, "Don't listen to what he says, he's just trying to pull you down because you're greater than him," he told me. He kissed me and I gave him a kiss back. He nuzzled his nose into my neck and it tickled.
"Haha, Ikuto-koi, stop. It tickles..." I told him.
"But you're so cute and lovable, and that Tadase is cold-hearted and nothing. I would disown him if he was my child," he said. He was really making me love him more.
"I-Ikuto-koi, if... if I ever succeeded in suiciding... how would you feel?" I asked, curious to know the answer.
"I would be depressed every single day. I would probably kill myself so I could meet you in heaven every day," he told me. His words made my cheeks even warmer than they were now. I snuggled in his chest and hugged him tighter. I heard the door open, and thank God that the steaming water concealed my scars. It had been Ami who had opened the door.
"Boyfriend and girlfriend!" she said and pointed at us. I didn't understand why she always made such a big deal over something like this. "Kiss!" she told us. We stared at her as she waited for us to do what she commanded, and we finally did kiss after a short stare. She clapped and then left, forgetting to shut the door behind her. Ikuto sighed and got up, and I already missed his figure in my arms. He was soaking wet and he closed the door when he got out of the tub. He walked back in quickly and took his position in sitting next to me.
"Amu-koi, when was the first time you cut yourself?" he asked me. What a strange question.
"Three years ago. My first cut was on my hip. I thought that everyone would see it if I put it on my wrist. But then when a year passed by, I went through so much pain and started cutting everywhere I could," I said and stood up, "If you can see, I have scars on the sides of my stomach, my upper thighs, my shoulders, my wrists, my fingers, my ankle, my shin and a few on my ribs and hips," I told him. It was a lot to list. He looked at my body with wide eyes and he examined the whole thing. He made me sit down again and he held me tight.
"Don't ever cut again. I don't want to see anymore, and if I do, then you won't get any kisses from me anymore," he said and black mailed me.
"I promise I won't cut again..." I said but wasn't sure if I could keep this promise. He kissed my cheek dozens of times. We sat in the water together, cuddling until the water was cold.
"Amu-koi, are you going to school tomorrow?" he asked me. Of course I had to go to school...
"Yeah. I have to or I might get bad grades," I told him.
"I don't want you to talk to those bullies anymore. Tell the teacher about it. I don't want you to end up like Utau," he told me.
"Can you tell me more about what happened to your sister?" I asked after a long silence.
"Well... Utau was my younger sister. We went to different schools, since I had better grades than her. I didn't realize until I saw her suicide note... she was being bullied for different things. She was called fat, stupid, annoying, ugly, retarded, obnoxious, and sometimes a whore for no reason, it was just to offend her..." I saw his eyes start to get moist and I hugged him so he felt better. I've never seen a man cry, and they always say that they're weak if they do. But seeing him cry, I felt bad for him and I understood his pain. He sniffled and I saw a tear fall down. "Anyways... Utau didn't tell anyone about it because she didn't want to worry anyone. And then one day, she stared getting cyber bullied... and they were all people from her school. It was the same thing. She was getting harassed 24/7, and I couldn't help her because I didn't know of this. And then one day, she gave me that key that could open any door... and then I came upon the locked bathroom door. I used the key and saw Utau in there with a note next to her laying body that had her neck sliced open..." He started crying and he put his head in my shoulder. "I'm sorry... if I'm acting weak. It was a terrible sight to see... and I don't want that to happen to you, Amu-koi. That's why I'm always worried when you head to the bathroom. That one day you headed there and tried committing suicide... I didn't want to lose another person." He wiped his eyes and stood up. His red face started fading and so did his tears. "That note that Utau had was in her handwriting. It read, 'To my parents, I know you cared about me, but I couldn't take it. I was being bullied in school heavily and there was too much pressure. I cried every single night and I tried hiding everything from you guys so you wouldn't worry too much about me. I'm sorry that I left you guys, but I needed to escape from the pain. To Ikuto, I loved you so much, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you either... I gave you the master key to find me and read this letter. I loved you and father and mother so much, but nothing could stop me from doing this. To my only friend, Mina, I know you cared so much about me. You tried to help me through it, but your words didn't help me. I'm sorry that you weren't even there when I was bullied. To all, I couldn't take it.' It ended abruptly like that..." he told me. He got me out of the bathtub and we dried our feet with a towel nearby.
"I'm sorry, Ikuto-koi. I promise I won't suicide, for you. I love you, so much..." I told him. Those two short sentences didn't feel like enough from all that he said. Ikuto emptied out the bath tub and held me up like a baby, it felt really awkward. Inplus we were wet, so that made it even more awkward. We walked over to my bedroom, and while we were walking, I could hear Ikuto still sniffling. "Ikuto-koi, we need to change," I told him. He placed me on the bed, and I put a wet spot on the covers. That'll dry later... "Or do you want to change in front of each other?" I asked, knowing that he usually teases like this. He smirked and his red face turned back into a normal color now.
"Is that going to be as far as we'll go?" he asked. I nodded and he kissed my lips. "Go ahead, you start," he said and sat on the ground. It looked like he was waiting for me to strip.
"Well I'm sorry, I need to get clothing first," I told him.
"Nope, we're sleeping naked tonight," he told me. What?
"No, I'm going to sleep with clothing on, and you are too. I'll wait for you to come back when you get your clothing." He nodded and walked out the door, closing it behind him. I quickly took off my bathingsuit and put on a regular white t-shirt that went along with some plain black underwear. No way was I actually going to do that... He walked in and saw that I was dressed already, and it seemed as though he teleported to the nearest corner to sulk.
"But Amu-koi said she was going to be naked in front of me..." he said.
"No I didn't!" I yelled and hit his head. He laughed and turned back toward me. He crawled and I kept backing up until I fell onto the bed. He crawled like a cat onto me and kissed me.
"Oh come on, you're sexy and pretty, just do a little teasing?" he asked. I shook my head and he sulked in the corner again. He looked like a little small kitten, and it looked cute. But no way was I going to strip in front of him. I'm not that comfortable with him... "Please? I'll give you a big kiss afterwards and we would snuggle everyday," he told me. Good prize, but no. I shook my head again and sat next to him in the corner.
"I still love you, though..." I told him. He started wimpering like a small dog, which didn't look right because he was mostly like a cat. He started crawling again and he had a smile as eerie as the Cheshire Cat.
"Amu-koi... pleease?" he asked again in a deeper voice than usual. I guess he was trying to take the scary way on me. I sighed and backed up. I stood up and turned around so my back was facing him. He looked at me and his body was turned toward me too. When I started lifting my shirt, he immediately stared closely at my body. I'm only 11, geez, how perverted can my boyfriend get? It was half way off until I dropped it again. I turned around a smiled.
"That's all you get for today! Come back to the show tomorrow, where we'll be showing the same thing!" she told him. Ikuto sighed and smirked, as if he knew she was going to do that.
"You know I have to change too, and you said we both change in front of each other, right?" he said and creeped up on me again. He put his hand on my leg, like it was a cat's paw. I nodded slowly and he stood up. He backed me up to the bed again and gave me another kiss, like last time. He turned around and said, "No looking. Since I couldn't see you today, you can't see me," he told me.
"As if I'd like to look!" I said and covered my face in the pillows. Once he changed he told me to look. He was only in his boxers... as expected. I was only in my underclothing too...
"Amu-koi, let's sleep now. It's eight, we've been in that bath tub for a long time," he said. I nodded and got in the blanket. He did the same after he turned the lights off. "Good night, love you," he said.
"Night, love you too," I said. I started thinking over the day and how the day had it's up and downs. And then I remembered that paranormal movie we watched... I stayed up for about two more hours thinking of that movie. "Ikuto-koi... Ikuto-koi!" I whispered quietly. Soon enough, he answered.
"What Amu-koi?" he asked back in a whisper.
"I'm scared..." I said. I was such a wimp for being scared over some fake ghosts... but what if they're real?! Some ghost could take me away right now and uh... uh... I could be possesed and-
"Scared of what?" he asked while I was thinking.
"Ghosts..." I whispered. I heard him chuckle a littlel bit until I felt his arm wrap around my body.
"It's OK, Amu-koi. You're here, safe in my arms," he told me. Those words made me feel safe, and I turned around so I was in his chest and layed there in silence. Nothing could hurt me here... I dozed away into a deep sleep, forgetting about what'll happen tomorrow due to how happy I have become.
