Moon-chan: By request to hurry my butt, up I've finished this oneshot in a whopping two days *wink*. I hope that everyone enjoys it.

Breathe

I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time.

Amu watched in silence as Ikuto gathered his things, he was going back to France for a while, and he didn't know when he would be back. She was doing her best not to cry, it seemed as though she was being torn up inside, but she knew that she couldn't cry in front of him. She didn't want to show him that side of herself.

Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

She smiled sadly as she watched him get on his plane after kissing her softly on the cheek, he never kissed her on her lips anymore. He was preparing himself for something, but he wouldn't tell her. Amu went home after his flight took off, and she tried to hold in the tears without any success. She felt empty, and it wasn't helping that every where she looked she saw the things that Ikuto had left behind.

Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie,
It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see.
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down,
Now I don't know what to be without you around.

Amu spent most of her time sitting staring into space trying with all her might not to think about what was wrong with her. She knew that Ikuto loved her, but he also loved music. She also knew the old adage that if you love someone you must set them free so Amu offered no protests or anything, but a weak smile when Ikuto left to pursue his dream.

And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, no one here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand,
And I can't,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.

Amu slowly came back to herself as the months went by without any contact with her boyfriend. She spent most of that time writing music. Most of what she wrote was sad and depressing. She missed the man that held her heart so much that she was a mere shadow of her former self.

Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt.
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve.
But people are people,
And sometimes it doesn't work out,
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out.

Ikuto knew that he was hurting Amu, and he had tried with all his might to distance himself from her to make the pain of him leaving less, but he knew that it hadn't worked from what his sister told him. Ikuto yearned to be by Amu's side, but until he finished what he was doing in France he couldn't return to her.

And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, no one here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand,
And I can't,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.

Ikuto sighed as he went into his hotel room. His heart was heavy and the only one that could lift his spirits was far away from him, but he could finally return to her, the work that he had to complete was finished. The debt was now paid in full so he had no reason to stay in this dismal city. So he boarded his plane to return to Japan the next morning with no regrets.

It's two a.m.
Feelin' like I just lost a friend.
Hope you know it's not easy,
Easy for me.
It's two a.m.
Feelin' like I just lost a friend.
Hope you know this ain't easy,
Easy for me.

Amu woke with a start that night to the sound of her cell phone ringing urgently. As soon as she picked up Utau's voice sobbed into the phone, "Amu, it's terrible, h-he, h-he…"

The voice on the phone changed to Kukia's, "Hinamori, I'm sorry to tell you this, but Ikuto might not make it through the night. His plane crash landed and he's in a coma right now." Amu dropped the phone in shock. Her amber eyes wide, he hadn't even told her that he was coming home…She glanced at her clock, two AM. After staring at the clock for what felt like forever, the pinkette ran out of her house, and went to the hospital.

And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, no one here to save me.

Ohhh

Amu couldn't breathe, her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't even hear herself think, not that she could think through the anguish that was taking her body over. She burst into the hospital, and ran to her love's side her hand grabbing for his, and once it touched his, his heart rate stabilized.

I can't,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.

Sorry (oh) Sorry (mmm)
Sorry (eh eh) Sorry (mmm)
Sorry (eh eh) Sorry (mmm)
Sorry

It was late the next evening when Amu woke to her hand being squeezed tighter than before. She woke to see Ikuto's deep blue eyes looking into her own. "I'm sorry, strawberry," Amu started to cry. "I'm sorry I left you," he continued as he struggled to pick something up, something that was on his bedside table. "Amu I left so that I could get this ring made for you." He handed the box to the teary eyed girl that had not left his side all through his coma.

Amu opened the box to see a beautiful silver ring that had the same design on it as the lock that hung around her neck. She looked up into his eyes again, after staring at the ring for a few minutes in wonder. "Ikuto, is this what I think it is?"

"Yes, Amu, I want to make you, and I wanted to be the one to make the ring, myself. I'm sorry that I worried you."

Amu threw herself into the man she loved arms, "Ikuto, you idiot…You didn't have to leave me to make me a ring. You could've proposed with nothing at all and I would've still gave you the same answer. I love you, I've been waiting for you to ask for two years now," she said as she kissed him, and then settled down on the hospital bed next to him to get some much needed sleep.
