Chapter 7

Ever since Ikuto and I made the deal to ask questions and always get answers, my weeks been pretty crazy. Besides the fact of having to come dressed up in my Halloween costume every day. So here's how my weeks been going:

-Tuesday-

"Amu..." I could tell who it was but I really didn't feel like getting up yet, besides my alarm hadn't even gone off yet. "Amu!" Next think I know I'm slung across Ikuto's shoulder and being carried toward the bathroom.

"It's too early for all this..." I managed to say around yawn, I was even to tired to blush. "Put me down before you drop me."

"I'm not going to drop you…" He pretended to drop me making me scream and caught me before I could hit the floor. "Told you I wouldn't drop you." Ikuto said with a goofy grin plastered on his face before putting me down. I growling something non-intelligent under my breath and made my way into the bathroom with Ikuto right on my heels. "Since you don't seem in a very talkative mood I'll start by asking the questions.

"Okay..." I yawned again while putting toothpaste on my toothbrush and shoving it in my mouth, "Shoot…" After being done with brushing my teeth the questions starting flying,

"What's your favorite color?" I had to think about that one for a moment while going to my closet and pulling out some jeans, my vans and a huge sweatshirt.

"Pink, black and white." I answered after staring at the other clothes in my closer and exchanging my sweatshirt for a white shirt with a band logo on it.

"Your favorite animal then?" Ikuto said while leaning against the door after I closed it to change.

"Panda's and…" I paused to think about it, "Red panda's also.."

"Red panda's?" I heard the question in his voice and couldn't help but smile, that's normally the response I got when I told people that.

"There not like regular panda's there actually closely related to the raccoon.." I stated while opening the door and moving out of the way as Ikuto stumbled through the bathroom and landed with a thud in the bath tub.

After I got back from my exam and made my way to pastry 101 the questions kept on coming. I sighed when I saw him look up from his note taking a motion for me to sit next to him.

"What is this your day to ask questions?" I replied half joking but knowing the answer.

"Yea, I've decided it is. Any other siblings?" He said while continuing to write notes and grade at the same time.

"Nope just Ami..." I don't know if I was happy about that or not, but I settled on being content, she was cute but a handful I don't think I could have dealed with another like her.

"Hmm" He said around a huge yawn, yea that's what he gets for waking me up super early this morning. "Favorite bands?"

"Uhmm…" I wasn't so sure about that one. I had a lot of bands I liked, "You already know a few, so Paramore, The Audition…etc"

That day pretty much went on like that till I forced him out of my room so I could get sleep.

-Wednesday-

Since it seemed that yesterday was his day to ask question I decided that today would be my day to ask. Getting up and getting ready before he did I made my way into his room and plopped down on his bed when I noticed he wasn't in the room.

"Your day to ask questions…?" Ikuto's voice sounded and I looked up and instantly turned a shade of red.

"Yes. And PUT ON A SHIRT!" After he did what I asked he sat down next to me while he dried his hair with a towel.

"You gunna ask any questions or stare at me dumbstruck all day?" I made a face at his smug expression.

"Do you have any siblings?" I asked slowly debating on if I should have started out with something simpler.

"No just me."

"Your favorite color?" I was interested in hearing this one,

"Blue and green." Whoa I wasn't expecting that one. As if he guessed what I was thinking he smirked and leaned in to kiss my cheek. "Weren't expecting that either were you?" Ikuto said when he saw my face go even redder. Before I could say something back to him he got up and started out of the room leaving me to follow.

"Favorite animal?" I asked but I was pretty sure I knew this one; I just wanted to be sure I was right.

"Cat, speaking of which I wonder how mine's doing…" The look on his face made it seem like he wasn't being feed.

"You have a cat?" I said barely able to say it with out dropping the orange juice I pulled from the fridge.

"Yea I have a cat, his names Yoru." Ikuto paused for a moment thinking about something, "My cousin is supposed to be feeding him…"

"You should have brought him, I don't really mind cats," I replied honestly which got me a look from him that I didn't quite understand; shrugging it off I asked another question. "How olds your cat and what's he like?"

"He'll be one in a few months and he's quite a handful to deal with, plus he doesn't like people all that much. I found him roaming the street and decided to take him in…" He sounded like her regretted it and before I could ask why he continued, "After a series of cuts, and furniture replacement, he's gotten pretty used to the idea that he's going to stay with me."

"Wow…sounds. Like that was a lot of work," Was all I could manage while I locked the door to my apartment and followed Ikuto down the stairs.

"That's an understatement."

During his classes when he wasn't yelling at one of the students or teaching the next topic…or if I wasn't teaching, grading, passing out things, and picking them back up I Made sure to ask many questions.

"What's your favorite band?" I was curious there was a lot of things I noticed that I really didn't know about him.

"All Time low…Maybe or Breaking Benjamin, I'm not to sure about that one." Ikuto said while pulling at a strand of my hair.

"Do you play an instrument?" I said while ignoring the fact that he was playing with my hair, it was starting to get to me.

"Yea I play the Violin and the Guitar." The guitar?

"Those are pretty different instruments…what made you want to play them both?" That got him chuckle and look at me with an amused glint in his eye.

"I decided to rebel against my step-father, who decided to make me play the Violin by playing the guitar, an instrument he couldn't stand one bit. I'd say my plan was successful but I started to like both instruments and that's what happened."

"Makes sense" I replied while nodding thoughtfully, "a lot actually."

-Thursday-

Since Ikuto decided he didn't feel like asking me questions today it was my turn yet again, so I spent the morning thinking about it. On the way to the campus grounds, on his Motorcycle of course I got a new question I decided to ask. Ignoring my hair that was whipping against my face I thought of a way to word it.

"Why did you decide to ride a motorcycle?" That seemed to catch him off guard because at the next stop light he looked over his shoulder at me quickly before back at the road.

"It was because a girl a dated a long time ago, always thought It was cool," He didn't speak of her badly or fondly. "At first it was just for her but after I dumped her, I realized that I actually liked riding a motorcycle, so that's it a guess." He shrugged.

Walking into the building behind him I felt slightly upset, I mean she might have been his ex from long ago but she probably knew more about him then I did and it bothered me. Plopping down into his chair and spinning around I thought of another question.

"What kind of girls are you interested in anyway?" I made the chair spin again and smiled slightly, it made me feel like I was 5 again.

"I like girls…" Ikuto hesitated and looked at me for a long while, making my face turn pink and for some strange reason he smiled at that, "Who I can tease and blush easily, can be self conscious, and aren't afraid of showing their true self's" That gave me the feeling that he was directing all that towards me.

"Okay…" I said while trying to stop myself from falling out of the chair from being to dizzy, so maybe spinning in the chair wasn't the brightest idea but it always helped calm me down, weird I know.

"Awww Amu, are you interested in me is that why you wanted to know what kind of girls I like?" Ikuto mused while tousling my hair.

"N-No!" I stammered and turned away from him so he wouldn't notice how badly I was blushing he sure did know how to get to me.

"I have a question for you Amu," Ikuto's voice busted through my thoughts and caught my attention.

"Ask away." I said quickly while laying my head down on his desk, it probably wasn't that deep of a question and all that spinning was starting to make me feel slightly sick.

"What kind of guys do you like?" Definitely not what I was expecting..

"Hmm…" I sighed while thinking about it. "I like guys that are honest with their feelings, not afraid to show affection in front of their friends, and who wouldn't mind just talking." I said honestly. I wasn't sure If I told the truth or if I was just testing Ikuto but either way I don't think it mattered to him.

"Interesting..."

What was that supposed to mean?

-Friday-

My alarm went off while I was going over the past few days in my head, they sure have been interesting and we've learned a bit about one another. Remembering that It's Friday while smacking the off button on my alarm clock I felt kind of say, Ikuto was only going to be staying with me for two more days and leaving on Monday.

Before I could move the covers back and sulk in the bathroom there was a jingling sound then a thump on the bed. Smiling slightly to myself I reached over and started petting Yoru, Ikuto's cat.

"Morning Yoru," I cooed to the purring cat who was rubbing against my fingers.

"He really does like you," Ikuto's voice came from the door way, "Makes me kind of jealous, it took him a whole 3 months to get used to me and it only takes one visit and he loves you so much." Scooping Yoru up into my arms and carrying him to the closet with me, I smiled at Ikuto.

"What can I say I have a way with cats," I teased while rubbing his ears before setting him back down on the floor, "Have you feed him yet?"

"No I was just about to," Ikuto said hesitantly. So that's why Yoru came into my room and jumped on my bed.

"I'm sure…" I sighed while grabbing my clothes and heading into the bathroom.

"Why do you like my cat so much, anyway?" Ikuto questioned while climbing off his bike and walking with me into the building.

"He reminds me of you sort of," I said honestly and besides he really did seem like Ikuto in a cat form, except cuter, "He's stubborn and impatient, and very selective to who he likes right away." I laughed at the look Ikuto shot me before holding the door open for me.

"I'm not very impatient…"

"But you are impatient, so my points been made." I said about to sit in his chair before he sat down before me.

As the students started to file into the class and take their seats, I waved to Nick, Tadase and a few of the other guys and girls I'd made friends with.

"Hey Amu I have one last question to ask you..." Before I could turn around and ask him what it was, I was pulled into his lap with a squeak. "Answer me honestly alright?" This couldn't be all that good if he had to tell me to answer him honestly.

"Okay I'll try my best. Can you let go of me?" I managed to say nonchalantly.

"No and Do you like stuffed animals?" is that seriously what he had to ask me…

"Did you really have to ask me that question?" I asked accusingly, "I thought it was something seriously important!"

"Hey you have to answer the question anyway," Ikuto teased. Sighing I shot him a glare before answering

"Yea I do there cute.."

"Figures but that's not really what I had to ask you," He replied smirking at me, and dodging the hit a swung at him without letting go of me.

"Geez!" I pouted, what a waste of time, "Will you let me up if I answer the question, people are starting to stare..?" I asked

"Yea, So will you go out with me?" Ikuto said staring at me seriously.

I was right when I said this couldn't be all that good if he had to tell me to answer honestly, besides I wasn't so sure he wanted to hear my answer…
