UGGH! Sorry for the late update! I had a lot of stuff to do. Oh, and you may have noticed that I changed this to M. There's reasons that you'll see in this chapter and the next few.
OH YEAH! This is the longest chapter I've written so far! 11 pages! 6,000 words!
If any of you are wondering, my girlfriend was found dead. I'm not going into any more detail. R.I.P. baby.
And I know you won't like the beginning of the chapter, but the rest is great and suggestive!
Chapter 6
"There's only two types of people in the world. The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe."-Britney Spears (Circus) [lol, it fits]
[Flashback]
"Ikuto Nii-san! Why are you here? It's nearly midnight!" A fifteen-year-old Amu questioned her twenty-year-old cousin.
"What? Can't I be the first person to say 'Merry Christmas' to my favorite cousin this year?" He asked feigning innocence.
"Fine, but I have some things to do, so make it quick."
"Aw, is Amu waiting up for Santa Claus?" Ikuto teased.
"N-no, idiot. I'm putting my present to Ami under the tree! It was too big to wrap." The pinkette explained fervently. Ikuto was the only one who she showed her true personality to since Nagihiko left, so she didn't even bother with being 'cool and spicy' in front of him.
"Speaking of presents, I wanted to show something." Ikuto walked onto Amu's snow-dusted balcony and crouched down, beckoning for her to get on. She warily climbed onto his back, worried about her parents finding her gone.
"Where are we going?" She asked while Ikuto climbed down the rope ladder attached to her tree house. He suddenly jumped down and started running.
"It's a surprise." He stopped abruptly and pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket. Letting Amu off his back, Ikuto turned around and covered her eyes with the cloth.
"Does he always have to be so secretive?" Amu grumbled. Hearing Ikuto chuckle, she slapped his head as she climbed back on.
"To answer your question, no. But it's always fun." He chuckled again, receiving another slap from Amu. They made small talk until Ikuto stopped again and let Amu slide off his back.
"Ouch, what was that?!" Amu exclaimed, rubbing her rear.
"Sorry. I didn't think it was this beautiful." He whispered more to himself than Amu.
"What's beautiful? Ikuto-nii?" She felt the blindfold being pulled off and gasped at what she saw. They were in a clearing surrounded by trees which had twinkling lights strung across the branches. In the very center was a fountain with a gazebo-like covering with benches attached. The whole clearing seemed to be sparkling.
"Like it?" Amu was jolted out of her thoughts. She had completely forgotten he was there.
"I love it." She whispered breathlessly.
"I thought you would. Now come with me." He grabbed her hand and walked toward the fountain. Ikuto reached under one of the benches as Amu sat down, and pulled out his violin. The song he played was a sweet one, but there was a tinge of sadness behind it. When Ikuto finished, he bowed playfully as Amu applauded his performance.
"I have something to talk to you about, Amu." Ikuto said, suddenly serious. Amu scooted over on the bench and let him sit down. They sat in companionable silence until Ikuto finally decided talk. "Amu, we're cousins right? But we're only related by marriage, and we met before my mom married your uncle." He paused, waiting for her response.
"Yeah, but where are you going with this?" She asked, almost scared of his answer.
"Amu, I know you're not stupid. By now, you should have realized that I have feelings for you. I love you, Hinamori Amu!" Amu's heart broke, those were the last words she wanted him to say.
"Ikuto-nii," She said in a pained voice "I'm really sorry, but you know who I love. I could never love you like that." Amu was holding back tears, but they sprung loose at the sheer shock from the look in Ikuto's eyes. They were filled with anger, hate, and some sort of carnal desire. Amu backed away from him as fast as she could, but apparently that wasn't fast enough. Her wrist was now in Ikuto's steely grip.
"Why are you doing this?! I trusted you!" Amu screamed.
"Amu, I'm not letting you go. I always win." He pulled the handkerchief out of his pocket, pushed Amu against the wall, then tied said handkerchief around her mouth. Ikuto had both of her wrists in his right hand behind her back.
"Damn it Amu! Why don't you give up on him? I can give you so much more. I'll show you what a real man is like." He started nipping at Amu's neck softly, but got rougher as she struggled. Finally, he was fed up with her squirming, so he pushed her down to the ground face-up. When he let go of Amu's wrists, he pulled out a gun and pushed it against her head. The pain evident on Amu's face made Ikuto flinch, but he told himself it was for her own good.
[WARNING! Violent rape scene coming up! But I didn't put in too much detail]
"Amu, you are mine. I get to deflower you, and if you do it with anyone else, you're just being a slut. I know your game Amu. You lead guys on, just to laugh when you reject them, claiming you already love someone. You're a dirty bitch Amu." As Ikuto gave his venomous speech, his hand had traveled up her skirt and pressed a finger inside her. Amu's tears came out heavier now, she wanted to die and get everything over with. Her innocence had been stolen by her own cousin. He was already starting to enter her. 'It hurts! God, It hurts! Please, just kill me!' Amu screamed in her head.
[End Rape]
"Hey, what's going on in there?" A gruff voice questioned. A light was pointed at Ikuto and Amu. The security guard pulled out a walkie-talkie and said "3 to base, 3 to base. Call the cops, it's a 13 red." While the security guard was talking, Ikuto had jumped off Amu, tearing her a little. He searched for a way out, but there were 2 more security guards joining the first and sirens could be heard in the distance. He was trapped. As soon as the cops and paramedics got there, Amu was rushed to a hospital. The blood was running down her legs like tears, to replace the ones that couldn't come out of her eyes anymore.
[end flashback]
[Amu's POV]
I woke up in bed with a massive headache. I don't even know how I got to bed. When I rolled over to check the alarm clock, I saw Tomoyo sleeping soundly. 'You can hardly tell she's a spaz when she sleeps' I giggled at my thoughts, then noticed the time. I have a little over an hour to get ready for work. I showered, brushed my teeth, got dressed in about half an hour, so I had plenty of spare time. Nagihiko's going to get a pleasant surprise today. I had this plan set for yesterday, but the stupid bastard woke up before me. This time he was so going to get it. I walked into his room and climbed onto his bed as quietly as possible, straddling his waist. I leaned forward and poked at his face a little.
"Nagihiko, wake up" I tried my best to sound seductive. He barely stirred, so I started tracing his jaw line with my finger. "C'mon Nagihiko, get up." His eyes fluttered open a little, then flew wide open when he noticed the position we were in.
"A-Amu-chan! Shouldn't you be at work instead of on top of me? Why are you on me in the first place?" He asked nervously.
"I was just waking you up before going to work." I continued tracing the outline of his face.
"That still doesn't explain why you're on me."
"It's the most effective way to wake you up. But now I need to get going." I sat up straight and stretched, jumping off him and blushing furiously as I felt something poke me. We both avoided eye contact.
"U-um, see ya later. And I guess that's a point for both of us." I took a quick glance at him before walking out. His face was deep red and he was trying hard to hide the tent in his boxers.
[Nagihiko's POV]
That was the most embarrassing moment in my life. I was torn between melting into the sheets and ravaging her. 'Great, now I sound like a rapist.' A sudden pang of anger and sadness shot through me as I remembered Amu's story from last night. She passed out before I could ask her any questions. 'It's my fault. If I didn't leave so unexpectedly, then she wouldn't have spent all that time with Ikuto and he wouldn't have raped her.'
"Amu-chan… You suffered so much because of me. I'm sorry, love." I whispered.
"Oh, so Nagi admits he has feelings for my Amu. Interesting." Tomoyo shocked me, standing in the doorway.
"H-hi Tomoyo. Why're you up so early? Did you sleep well?" 'CHANGE THE SUBJECT! NOW!' my mind shouted.
"I woke up when Amu was showering. I followed her when she went into your room. That was quite the show." She didn't drop it. Damn.
"Yeah, I guess," I looked at my watch-free wrist, "Oh, look at the time, I should be going." I tried to make my escape, but next thing I knew, I was pinned to a wall by the gossip queen.
"You still haven't told me your feelings for Amu." Her green eyes were sparkling with determination. I sighed and took a deep breath.
"Fine. I'm in love with her. I've always been in love with her. When we wrote our dreams in first grade, I said mine was to marry Amu-chan."
"That's intense. It's even longer than…" She trailed off.
"Longer than what?"
"Oh, nothing. Just a manga. But seriously? That's 17 years."
"Well, at first I wasn't really in love with her, I just wanted to never leave her side. But we started drifting apart a little when we went into middle school. Different classes, different friends and all that. I missed her, and it felt different to hold her hand as me instead of Nadeshiko. So I guess I didn't realize I was in love with Amu-chan until the end of seventh grade, when I found out I was moving." Tomoyo squealed and hugged me.
"Aw! That's so cute! Childhood friendship turns into unrequited loved! It's just like m-" She cut off and stopped suffocating me.
"Oh, were you going to say 'me and Kei?'" I asked playfully.
"Uh…um… yes…" She whispered.
"Hmm? I couldn't hear that. Can you say it again?" Oh this is going to be good, she's going to scream and Kei's probably on his way to wake me up by now.
"Yes! I'm in love with him! You happy now?" She hissed.
"Who are you in love with?"
"KEI! I LOVE KEI! IDIOT!" She screamed as Kei rounded the corner and froze.
"A-are you serious?" He asked, eyes the size of saucers and jaw hanging open.
"I'm gonna leave you guys to your conversation" I darted across the hallway and around the corner to eaves drop on them.
"Kei… I um… err.. I guess… uh…" I heard footsteps while Tomoyo continued babbling, then silence. When I took a peek, Kei and Tomoyo were glued together at the lips.
"Good job Nagihiko, you deserve a Twinkie." I whispered, then left to get said Twinkie.
[Amu's POV]
Work was boring as usual today, but I need the money. I have to go back to school someday.
"Woah, I was not expecting that." I said upon seeing Kei and Tomoyo making out in the hallway when I got home. Of course, they didn't even look up to see who they just scarred. I should go find Nagihiko, because something obviously happened while I was gone. My search for Nagi was short, he was in the kitchen; the same place I was going.
"Hey, I just saw Kei and Tomoyo playing tonsil hockey. What's up with that?" I asked as I sat on the counter.
"I tricked Tomoyo into confessing to him. I almost regret it. I left for work early when they went to his room. By the way, Kei had his tonsils removed. Speaking of work, you're really late. What happened?"
"The girl who takes the shift after me had some kind of family emergency, so I ended up there for two hours until the manager's daughter came in and took over for me." I explained.
"That sucks. Did you at least get paid double?"
"Yeah." I heard a loud moan from the other room. "Okay, I think I'm gonna go outside and practice guitar." I said quickly.
"I'll join you. Meet me under the tree." He rushed outside while I went to get my guitar from the room. Unfortunately, the room was already occupied, so I couldn't exactly get to it. Instead, I ran out to join Nagihiko.
"I'm sleeping on the couch tonight." I muttered.
"Why? And where's Himitsu?" He asked.
"Tomoyo's on our bed. With him. It's gross."
"So I assume that you went to get Himitsu, but you saw your bed being violated and you don't want to sleep on it until you disinfect everything."
"Yep. So I'm sleeping on the couch." He sat down and I put my head in his lap again.
"No. You're sleeping with me tonight." I sat up and hit my head on his chin.
"Sorry. But what do you mean?"
"I mean you're sleeping in my bed tonight. You can't sleep on the couch. It's too small to sleep on."
"No it's not.""Yes it is, Amu-chan. It's only a little bigger than a loveseat."
"Fine, I'll sleep with you. I need to find better pajamas though."
"What's wrong with the pajamas you have?"
"Oh, nothing. They're just a little… revealing."
"How revealing?""It's been mistaken for lingerie." His jaw dropped.
"Okay, maybe you should find something different. Then again, maybe you shouldn't." I flicked his forehead.
"When did you get so perverted?" I asked, reveling in the fact that he wanted to see me in my almost-lingerie.
"I was still a boy who had just hit puberty when I left. Now I'm all man. I'm a lot bigger than before, as you can see." I blushed at the obvious innuendo and the memory from this morning.
"W-whatever, I'm tired." I leaned my head on his chest and closed my eyes.
"How are you tired? You fell asleep at 10 and woke up at 9."
"I don't know. I'm just shaky and tired, okay?" It's really withdrawals, but I don't want him to worry.
"Okay. Sorry. But try not to fall asleep, I can't exactly carry you to bed like last night."
"Oh, I was meaning to ask you what happened last night."
"Well, you told me up to the part when you got in the ambulance and they took the handkerchief off. Then you cried yourself to sleep."
"Sorry. It was a little overwhelming. I've only told that story to the lawyer dad hired."
"It's alright. What happened after that?" He stroked my hair as I took a deep breath and started explaining.
"It all happened so fast, it was kind of a blur. But I remember a lot of people asking me who he was and what happened. I passed out a few times and cried a lot. I told the police and investigators that he was my boyfriend and I just wasn't ready. I-"
"Why did you do that?" Nagihiko cut me off.
"I was going to say it before you so rudely interrupted. Anyway, I didn't want him to get in that much trouble. It was kind of my fault in the first place. I led him on and hurt him. Well, that's what I thought at the time. When he went to jail, I was left all alone again and sunk back down into my depression. That's when I asked Tadase out, so I wouldn't feel lonely, but he rejected me. I honestly didn't mind, but I was still lonely and everybody at school was talking about what happened with Ikuto-nii. I couldn't take it anymore, so I climbed up onto my roof with a knife. I was going to jump off with the knife facing my stomach so if the fall didn't kill me, the knife will. Fortunately, Utau and Kukai were coming over to visit and saw me on the roof. They coaxed me off and I was forced to stay with Utau for a month. A few weeks later, I discovered weed and.. Well, you know the rest from there. So you officially know almost everything about me." I finished. This time, I didn't cry, but winced when I told him about doing weed. It's getting harder, but I know it'll be worth it.
"Damn. What happened to Ikuto after that?" I winced again. Nagihiko started rubbing my back to comfort me… I think.
"Well, he was arrested and put in jail for 6 years. Last I heard, he was just getting of probation. Apparently he's a registered sex offender. That was almost a year ago."
"That bastard deserves to be shot. If I ever see him again, I'll go Sweeney Todd on his ass!" I started giggling, then laughed until I cried. That had to be the funniest thing I've ever heard him say, but it was oddly sweet.
"Honey, you don't have to 'go Sweeney Todd on his ass' I think jail and being a registered sex offender should suffice. Though punching him a few times sounds good."
"Did you just…? Never mind, but I do agree. Punching him sounds fantastic." I giggled and looked at Nagihiko. There was a pensive look on his face.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked, puzzled at the sudden mood change.
"Nothing really." He was lying, but I let it drop.
"Amu! Rent time!" Tomoyo shouted from the back door. I perked up and bounded back into the house, dragging Nagihiko with me.
"Sweet! I love Rent night!" I exclaimed. "You know Tomoyo and weren't exactly close before moving here, but every Monday night we watch RENT and play a drinking game. Oh, and we dance and sing along to one of the songs. We even dress up as whichever person we're…err… role-playing as." I explained to Nagihiko.
"Oh, that's… not normal. Sometimes I question your sanity. Tomoyo's more than your's though."
"Everyone questions her sanity. Y'know, I've walked in on her eating Apple Jacks at one in the morning a few times." I giggled at the memory, then released his hand. "Alright, I've gotta go get ready. Your welcome to watch the movie with us this time. See ya." I and walked to my bedroom, seeing Tomoyo there with our drawing hat out.
"Your turn to draw this week." Tomoyo held the hat out to me and shook it a couple times. I put my hand in and pulled a paper out from the bottom.
"Sweet! Take me or leave me. I call Maureen!" I love being Maureen. I can imitate her voice perfectly and our body types were the same.
"Alright. I always let you have Maureen anyway. We haven't done this one in a while. Do you know where our clothes are for this scene?"
"Yep, I'll go get them for us." I walked I grabbed a few things from the back of our closet and set them down on a chair, then went back and pulled a styling head with a dark wavy wig. Tomoyo and I both started changing in silence. "Oh, I forgot to tell you that I'm sleeping with Nagihiko tonight." I said while we were putting on makeup. Tomoyo dropped her lipstick and started at me in awe.
"Oh my God, did you guys finally hook up?" She asked excitedly.
"No, I just don't want to sleep on our bed after seeing what you and Kei-kun did." She blushed, then smirked. Bipolar much?
"Ohoho, I so want to see the look on his face when he sees your pajamas. And after what happened this morning, I'm sure something good will come of it." My eyes widened.
"You saw that?"
"Yep, and I saw the look he gave you. Lust, Amu."
"U-um, let's just finish changing."
[Normal POV]
Tomoyo and Amu walked into the living room to find Kei and Nagihiko sitting on the couch waiting patiently. Amu was wearing a black tank top with a gold dragon on the front and tight black leather pants. Over that she wore a long maroon jacket that reached down to her knees. On her feet were black high-heeled boots. There was a dark wavy wig on her head and earrings with planets and stars dangled from her ears.
Tomoyo wore a white blazer over a gray and black patterned vest pared with white slacks. Her shoes were plain brown pumps and the earrings were gold hoops with.
Amu popped the DVD in and sat down next to Nagihiko, who was staring at her.
"If any of you talk, I swear I'll tears your ears off." Amu threatened as the movie began. The girls sang along with all of the songs and recited their favorite lines. At the scene just before take me or leave me, Amu pulled her lip ring out and walked to the front with Tomoyo.
(Italics is Amu, underlined is Tomoyo. Both is both. Bold is spoken. Link on my profile. Please just watch the video. My descriptions suck balls.)
"You know what miss ivy league, I can't take much more of this. This obsessive, compulsive, control freak paranoia."
"What?"
"I didn't pierce mynipples because it grossed you out. I didn't stay at the King's club last night because you wanted to go home."
"You were flirting with the woman in rubber."
"There will always be women in rubber flirting with me! Give me a break!"
Every single day, I walk down the street, I hear people say "Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty, everybody stares at me, boys, girls I can't help it baby. Tomoyo walks off and Amu follows.
So be kind and don't lose your mind. Just remember that I'm your baby. Amu pulls Tomoyo close and slow dances with her.
Take me for what I am. Who I was meant to be. Amu hugs Tomoyo close and twirls her around.
And if you give a damn, take me baby or leave me. Amu grabs Tomoyo's hands and pressed them to her breasts, then Tomoyo walks away again. Amu follows and climbs onto the coffee table.
Take me baby or leave me.
A Tiger in a cage can never see the sun. Amu takes off her jacket.
This diva needs her stage so baby lets have fun! Amu drops said jacket and crouches down facing Tomoyo..
You're the one I choose, folks would kill to fill your shoes. You love the limelight too, now baby. Amu climbs off the coffee table.
So be mine, and don't waste my time, crying "Oh Honeybear, are you still my, my, my baby?" As Amu sings, she pulls up her shirt like she's going to flash someone and runs around the table avoiding Tomoyo.
Don't you dare. Tomoyo and Amu walk to the other side of the room.
Take me for what I am. Who I was meant to be. And if you give a damn, take me baby or leave me.
No way, can I be what I'm not. Amu seductively crouches down, and comes back up, raising her arms.
But hey, don't you want your girl hot? Amu walks closer to Tomoyo.
Don't fight, don't lose your head. Cause every night, who's in your bed? Who? Who's in your bed. Amu crawls close to Tomoyo and sticks her hands out like a begging dog.
Kiss Pookie
It won't work, I look before I leap. Tomoyo pulls Amu up and Amu backs up to the wall.
I love margins and discipline. I make lists in my sleep. Baby, what's my sin?
never quit, I follow through. I hate mess but I love you
what do with my impromptu baby?
so be wise 'cause this girl satisfies. Tomoyo presses herself close to Amu, who puts her hands up in disgust.
you got a prize but don't compromise. you're one lucky baby. Tomoyo takes her jacket off and flings it. Amu catches it.
take me for what I am
a control freak
who I was meant to be
a snob yet over attentive
and if you give a damn
a loveable droll geek
take me baby or leave me
an anal retentive. They walk back over toward the coffee table.
That's it
the straw that breaks my back
I quit
unless you take it back
Women
what is it about them?
can't live with them or without them
take me for what I am .They grab onto different ends of the table.
who I was meant to be
who I was meant to be. They walk over to the other ends of the table.
and if you give a damn. Amu climbs on the table and starts crawling toward Tomoyo.
and if you give a damn then.
take me baby, or leave me. Amu pushes the remotes onto the ground then stands in front of Tomoyo.
take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me
take me baby or leave me. Tomoyo grabs Amu and they bend backward until Amu's back almost touches the table, then come back up.
guess i'm leaving i'm gone! They walked off in separate directions then flopped down on the couch.
(OMG! That took me 4 hours to write!)
[Nagihiko's POV]
I whistled and clapped along with Kei when Amu and Tomoyo finished. Of course we were immediately shushed, but I had to do it. Amu looks downright sexy in leather. 'I wonder if she could-' NO! That thought stops there!
After the movie, Amu and Tomoyo changed into normal clothes and headed straight for the kitchen. Amu came out holding a bottle of vodka and four shot glasses. Next to her, Tomoyo carried a bag of tortilla chips and a bowl of salsa.
"What are we doing?" Kei asked warily.
"We're playing 'I have never'" Tomoyo responded simply.
"Oh, remember when we played that in middle school on the class trip? Jo-kun cried when he was the only one who got something stuck in his nose!"
"That was hilarious! He was always a crybaby!" I felt a little pang of sadness and jealousy. Tomoyo and Kei had so many great memories from middle and high school. Amu and I only have kindergarten to eighth grade. I sighed audibly.
"What's up Nagi?" Tomoyo asked.
"Just thinking. So how do we play this?" I brushed off the subject.
"Oh, we go around in a circle saying things that we haven't done. If anybody has done that thing, they take a shot." She explained.
"I want to go first!" Amu volunteered excitedly. I rolled my eyes at her childish behavior. She can be so bipolar sometimes.
"Okay! Amu goes first!" Tomoyo shouted as she sat down.
"I have never been out of this country." Amu said. Tomoyo poured two shots, handing one to me and gulping down the other.
"Mine shouldn't even count I was only born in America. I left when I was two!" Tomoyo whined.
"That's news to me." I commented
"You never asked." Tomoyo shot back.
"My turn," I said after taking my shot. "I have never had escargot." Amu took a shot and we all stared at her.
"What? Utau made me do some weird shit when I lived with her." She shrugged.
"I'm not sure if I want to meet her now…" Kei said warily.
"Aw, come on Kei-kun. Utau's the best cousin ever. Hmm, I just realized that Kukai's my cousin too now…" Amu trailed off.
"He is, isn't he? Heh, never thought he would become part of your family when you met him in fourth grade, did you? Their wedding was great. How come you didn't go Amu-chan?" I asked.
"Ehhh? You were there? So was I! How did you not see me? I was maid of honor!"
"And I was best man!"
"Seriously?! Then… we walked down the aisle right next to each other and didn't notice?"
"Okay, I'm lost. What's going on here?" Kei interjected.
"Utau's my cousin and Kukai's our childhood friend. They got married 2 years ago. Do you have any of the wedding pictures, Nagi?" Amu asked after filling Kei in.
"Yeah, I do. Hold on a sec." I ran off and came back with a photo album in hand.
"Let me see." Amu grabbed the small red folder and started flipping through it, stopping somewhere in the middle. "Oh, I remember why. Utau invited Ikuto so I wore a wig and color contacts. But I still don't see you." I peeked over her shoulder and saw the large group photo. The maid of honor had long purple hair and chocolate-brown eyes. She was wearing a puffier version of the putrid green dresses Utau had picked for her bridesmaids.
"Hmm, trying to look like someone Amu-chan?" I asked amusedly and laughed when she blushed.
"S-shut up. It just happened. I still don't see you." She furrowed her brows as if she was concentrating hard.
"I'm right here." I pointed at the man standing next to Kukai. I had shortish black hair with long bangs. A large portion of the front was bleached and my nails were painted black. She stared in awe.
"W-we even danced together and I didn't notice." She whispered then cracked a smile and laughed a little.
"What's funny Amu-chan?" I asked.
"You honestly don't remember? I told you that you reminded me of someone I… N-n-never mind! Remember on your own if you want." She was blushing profusely.
"Okay, I'll do that. But that means it's only been two years since we've seen each other."
"Ahem, can we get back to the game before you guys start making out again? Those lovey- dovey faces are gross." Tomoyo wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Look who's talking. Pretty much having sex in the hallway. How revolting." I grumbled.
"Whatever. It's my turn now." She turned and smirked at Amu, who stiffened immediately. "I have never been completely naked in front of a stranger." Amu took another shot and shot Tomoyo a menacing glance.
"Before you ask, let me explain. Tomoyo's brother is a pervert. He walked in on me showering and took a picture before I even met him. What's up with guys and their obvious fascination in seeing me naked?" She shouted. Kei and I opened our mouths to speak, but never got the chance to say anything. "Both of you shut up!" She shouted again.
"Alright back to the game. I have never kissed someone out of boredom." Amu and Tomoyo took another shot each. We continued the game for a few more rounds, until everyone was sufficiently drunk. Come on, Amu-chan. We need to get to bed." I grabbed Amu's hand and pulled her up with me.
"I need my pajamas!" She sang and Tomoyo giggled.
"You are so weird. Alright, go get them" I sighed. Each of us changed into our pajamas and met up in the hallway to say goodnight. But of course nothing is ever simple with Amu.
"Goodnight, Kei-kun!" Amu giggled and sloppily kissed his cheek, leaving everyone bewildered.
"Goodnight, Amu-chan" Kei replied awkwardly before walking into his room.
"'Night Tomoyo!" Amu shrieked and kissed Tomoyo's chin.
"I forgot about miss kissing monster. Goodnight Amu, 'night Nagi" Tomoyo laughed and winked in my direction before walking away.
"Don't even try it. I'll get you a glass of water and a peanut butter sandwich. I want you to sober up a little before going to bed with me." So I did just that. When Amu finished eating, she held her head in her small hands.
"Thanks Nagihiko. I probably would have done something weird." To my surprise, she leaned over and kissed my cheek. "I'm really tired, lets go to bed." And with those words, my brain finally processed what she was wearing and saying. She wasn't lying about it looking like lingerie. The top was low-cut and cheetah print with brown lace around the borders and a brown sash hanging between her breasts down to her abdomen. The only part that wasn't lingerie-esque was her matching Capri pants. The whole ensemble seemed to be made of silk. 'Note to self: go back in time and thank whoever invented silk pajamas' I thought before following Amu into my room and climbing into bed.
"Goodnight, Nagihiko." She said quietly after sliding in next to me. After a few minutes, I could still feel Amu shivering behind me. I turned around to face her.
"Are you comfortable?" I asked
"Mmm, just a little cold." She said tiredly. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her close.
"Better?" I asked.
"A lot." She pressed closer and buried her face in my chest. A few minutes later, her breathing evened out and I knew she was asleep.
"Goodnight, love." I whispered then kissed her forehead.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get to sleep so easy, so I thought about the days events, which led me to what Amu had said earlier. "I told you that you reminded me of someone I…" What did she tell me? I faintly remember dancing with her and thinking that she looked like a cross between me and Amu. Suddenly, I remembered clearly. I smiled at the words that echoed through my mind, the words she said that sunny afternoon two years ago.
"Sorry I keep staring at you. It's just… you remind me of someone I love a lot. But he's been gone for six years now. I'm sorry but, I have to go. I'll cry if I think to much."
You might have noticed that I didn't put in some of the lines that I promised, but that's because I comepletely rearranged the chapter to make it less messy.
Heh, Y'all should go read Confessions of Gender and Love now. It's hella funny and I'm working on the next chapter. (Heh, Ikuto get's hit in the head with a frying pan)
Oh, and keep an eye out for another one-shot I'm writing called 3 Times. It's morbid and depressing, but the ending is happy. (BTW, both are Nagamu or is it Amuhiko?)
Sneak peek:
Sending: Oh yeah, Yaya, don't tell Kairi that I'm in love with Nagihiko. He'll go all 'eye of the tiger' on me like when Tadase said he loved Rima. Message sent to:
And that's all I'm giving you! :P first to review gets the rest of the line! If you don't want to know, tell me and I'll give it to the next person.
