Puppy Love

Chapter 4: Just What Is Love?

I can't believe that Hentai!!!! He kissed me-wait, is he sleeping? I looked down, seeing him wrap his arms around me even tighter. I thought he wasn't. Wait! H-he's blushing, when he was the one to kiss me. Geez, I never thought I'd be thinking that about Ikuto before. He finally unwound his arms and slowly moved away. I was about to kill him, when I calmed myself.

"Ikuto! I can't believe you! Why the heck did you do that?" I exclaimed.

"Well, I woke up, and I saw you sitting there, and I couldn't help it! It was so tempting. Did you know you taste like strawberries?" he questioned.

"Furthermore, why did you fall asleep so suddenly? Especially in that…position!?" I asked.

"I was very comfortable, it was pretty easy, listening to your heartbeat just made it easier." He said, going back into his former position.

"D-don't lie there again!" I told him.

"Why not?" he asked, one eye opened, one closed.

"B-because! You were asleep for about two hours! Aren't you alert and awake by now?" I asked frantically.

"Nope, actually, I'm pretty tired. Can I just have another four hours in your arms?" he begged, gazing up into my eyes. Of course, I blushed.

"Fine, only four hours!" I gave in.

"Thank you, Amu-chan~!" he thanked me, snuggling into my arms. Again!

"You're getting kicked out if you kiss me again like that, though." I warned. He was already asleep, great! 'Well, what do you do when you have a cat sleeping on your lap? I have to keep my guard up, so what happened last time doesn't happen again. But what should I do? He said four hours. I wonder if he's asleep yet.' I thought. I looked down and heard his breathe even out. 'He must be asleep.' I thought. He blushed, a deep scarlet at that. 'I wonder what he's dreaming about.' I thought. "Amu…..chan" he spoke the two word slowly. I gasped, and then covered my mouth, so I didn't wake him up. 'Is he having a dream about me?' I thought, not clueless enough to say that. He rubbed against my lap and repeated his last words. My heart aches whenever he does this. Why is this feeling so strong? Why for him? Why? I can't help myself, I have to ask! I guess I fell asleep. When I woke up, Ikuto started to fidget, too.
He said, "Thanks, Amu-chan! That was the best sleep I had in a long time! Besides, I was very happy you didn't try to wake me up." He smiled, and then kissed my cheek. I smiled back. "Hey Amu-chan, can I have a good-bye kiss?" I blushed a deep scarlet.

"I-Ikuto…fine." I said, bracing for the impact of him teasing me, or try to French me. ((My computer automatically capitalized "French" for me 0.0)) Instead, he kissed me. Just a kiss, but I heard his heart beating faster. I kissed him back, knowing I'd regret it later. The kiss ended, and he smirked. "Amu-chan…?" he asked.

"Y-yes I-Ikuto?" I stammered.

"Would you believe me if I said 'I fell in love with you'?" Ikuto asked.

"I-I don't know, but Ikuto, are you saying that as a question or a confession?" I asked him, trying not stammer.

"Would you answer my question if I answer yours after?" he asked

"Yes, T-to both." I stammered blushing like crazy.

"Then yes!" Ikuto said, snuggling up to me.
"Wow, I never knew you had such a childish side to you." I exclaimed between giggles.
"Like that's what I want to hear" he said.
"But…..I think I like this side of you, too!" I said, and winked, making him blush.

"Do you have to do that?" he asked me.

"Yep!" I exclaimed.

"Could be worse." He said, and laid his head on my lap.

"How so?" I asked him.

"You could tell Tadase about this little conversation." He inquired.

"Good point," I pondered.

"Please don't!" he pleaded.

"Relax! I won't," I reassured him. His cat-ears and tail popped out. 'Oh yeah, I forgot, I wore the pajamas with the strings attached to them.' I thought. He started whapping at them. I started laughing.
"Nee, Ikuto-kun! That tickles!" I said between giggles. He stopped and started purring. I thought, 'Cool! He can purr! He's even cute when he's purring.' I smiled. The kyara chenji ((Romanji for chara change)) came undone and he blushed five shades of red.

"Amu-chan…?" I cut him off before he could speak again.

"Don't worry; I like that side of you, too!" I said, while smiling.

"Well, it's nine o'clock, so I'll be heading off. I love you, Amu-chan!" Ikuto said before kissing me lightly on the cheek. I smiled as he left.

"You, too!" I called before going to bed.
