Me: *tear* I am SOOOOOOOO sorry I haven't written or updated in years!
Amu: Overreacting a little bit.
Ikuto: More than a little.
Me: Remember, I'll turn this into a Tadamu if you two don't shut it!
Amu: Please!
Ikuto: C'mon, you know you love me.
Amu: Do not!
Ikuto: Do too!
Amu: Do not!
Ikuto: Do not!
Amu: Do too!
Ikuto: Ha!
Me: *shakes my head* I do not own Shugo Chara!
He paused for a second…then started laughing. Damn it, not again. I couldn't take his sarcasm anymore. I jumped on him and started hitting his chest. He was still laughing. I can't believe I'm gonna do this. But it's the only way to shut him up. I kissed him.
~Amu's Thoughts~
AHH! Why am I doing this? I shouldn't be doing this!
Ikuto's POV
As I was laughing, Amu jumped on me and started hitting my chest. Ah, she's just like Utau. But nothing can make me shut up. Then, she kissed me. Well, that shut me up. What was she doing? Well, I don't care what she was doing, I just kissed back.
A few minutes later, we were still kissing and I decided to turn things around. I flipped her over and started kissing her neck.
"I-Ikuto. S-Stop."
"Why?" I mumbled.
She stayed still for a moment then pushed me off of her and ran downstairs. Damn, I really messed up this time.
I stayed there for a few minutes then decided to see if she was okay. I saw her laying on the couch asleep. I never meant to hurt her like this. It's just that I thought that she finally understood what I said before I left for the last time.
*Flashback*
"You're leaving already?" Amu asked.
I didn't say anything. All I said was, "Hurry and grow up."
I knew she was confused. And I knew she wouldn't know what I meant until she grew up.
*End flashback*
I smiled a little. Maybe she did finally understand. But I wouldn't know until tomorrow.
-The next day-
Amu's POV
I woke up, smelling eggs in the kitchen. I thought it was my mom cooking so I walked in and opened the fridge.
"Good morning." Ikuto greeted. Wait…IKUTO?
I jumped and stared at him. "W-Why are you cooking?"
"What? I can't cook? Your parents said it's fine for me to do anything here."
Damn it. "W-Well, I'm still mad at you about last night." I said and crossed my arms.
"I know. That's why I'm cooking. I'm hoping that I can make it up to you. And if that doesn't work, I'll take you to the mall so you can buy whatever you want."
"Why don't you just leave?" I mumbled, thinking he didn't hear me.
He put the plate on the table and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"You want me to leave. Okay, I'll leave." And that was the last thing he said before he walked out.
I looked down. What did I say? I…I didn't mean that.
"He'll come back." I heard someone say. I looked up and saw Utau standing at the door.
"How do you know?"
"Well," she walked in, "knowing Ikuto, he'll come back soon. Trust me."
I sighed, hoping that she was right. And just like she said, he came back in.
I looked at her, "How did you…?"
She shrugged, "He's my brother. I should know these things."
Ikuto just looked at us confused. "What's going on?"
"Nothing." Utau simply said and walked out the door.
I hate it when she leaves like that. There was an awkward silence between us. Shocking, huh? Usually, by now he would've said something perverted like he always does. I looked at him and saw him looking out the window.
"What'cha looking at?" I asked, hoping to break the silence.
"Something."
I shook my head and sighed. It was always hard to talk to him. Either he always said something perverted or he barely said anything at all.
I heard him mumble something that sounded like "I'm sorry". But…nah. He's never apologized.
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry." He said more loudly.
My jaw dropped. Did Ikuto just say SORRY? Ikuto Tsukiyomi said sorry?
"Oh, don't act so surprised. I might just take it back." He suggested.
I shook my head. "Sorry."
Another awkward silence. I decided to break it again. "So…where are Yoru and the girls?"
"Last time I checked, asleep."
"Oh." I mumbled, "I could really use their help right now."
"Do I still need to make it up to you?" Ikuto asked and walked up to me.
Ikuto's POV
She looked at me with an innocent look. "Maybe…take me shopping?" and she smiled her cute little smile.
"See? At least I got you to smile." I teased.
Whoa, I never talked like that. What's with me today?
"So, you'll take me shopping?" Amu asked, excitedly.
I shrugged. "I guess so."
Ah, back to my old self.
Amu smiled and ran upstairs to go change.
Hmm…it wouldn't hurt to spy on her would it?
I know, it's short again (*sad face*). And again, I'm sorry that's it's been so long. I didn't have a clue what to write. That's why this chapter is kind of short. But I got a good idea for the next chapter so…I hope you enjoyed this one!
