Rainy Nights

Amu opened her eyes slowly, not yet fully awake. She looked at the sleeping figure next to her tenderly before looking at her clock. It was midnight. She rubbed her eyes and slowly pulled the blanket off of her.

She tiptoed over to her balcony door and opened it without a sound. She stuck one foot out onto the cement, feeling a few rain drops hit it. "Perfect," she whispered wistfully. She stepped out onto the ground and closed the door behind her.

Rain drops hit her arms. Her body felt cold and wet on the outside, but it gave her a warm feeling on the inside.

She loved the rain. She loved everything about it. From the way it felt to the way the air smelled. She couldn't get enough of it.

The moon shone down from up above, giving just enough light. Amu looked up at it as a few big rain drops hit her face. She giggled and wiped them away. She twirled and spun and splashed in a puddle.

"What are you doing, Amu?"

Amu jumped and turned around to see a sleepy looking Ikuto standing in the doorway. He looked her up and down. Her white t-shirt was sticking to her body, her hair sticking to her face.

"I was just playing in the rain." Her eyes lit up. "Want to join?"

"No. I'm going back to bed." She gave him a sad look.

"Please?"

"No, I don't like the rain." She frowned as he turned around and closed the door.

"Baby," she muttered.

She turned around and walked towards the end of the balcony. Pushing her hair out of her face, she leaned her elbows on the balcony and rested her chin in her hands. She wished Ikuto would come out and stay with her.

Suddenly she felt arms wrap around her body. The warmth of his body made her feel even better than before.

"I thought you didn't like the rain," she said mockingly. He smirked.

"But I love you," he said, kissing her tenderly on the lips.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"My pleasure." He grabbed her hand and twirled her around. They stayed like that for hours, just the two of them under the moonlight.


5/3/09 AN: Oh ho ho... it's been a long time since I've updated, hasn't it? About two months, right? I thought I wrote a story after that! Oh, whatever. Anyway, I am so sorry! I've been really busy and haven't had the time to update! I should be able to update faster within two weeks, k? I have a project due May 18, so I've been really focusing on that! I have to write a letter to the reader (which is done), mini essay (also done), shape poem (again, done), news story (due Wednesday!), and four other genres. So yeah, that's my excuse.

In other news, I ordered the sixth volume of Shugo Chara! It just came out last week. It's supposed to come tomorrow!

So, yeah. Hope you liked the oneshot! - Cherry
