Chapter 10

The next morning when I awoke, I found my head resting on something soft yet hard at the same time. I opened my eyes completely to realize my head was resting on Ikuto's chest. I felt his arms lightly wrapped around my body as mine we folded under my head. I tried to slowly squirm out of his hold, but as soon as I made a movement, I felt Ikuto's arms tighten. I looked up to see his usual smirk, but affection in his eyes.

"Good morning, Amu," Ikuto's voice mused with the morning air.

"Good morning," I blushed, even after our little confession, I still blushed.

"Hmm? Why are you blushing?" Ikuto teased as I brought my face to his.

"I'm n-not. I was just…oh never mind…."

I heard him chuckle as he released one hand from around me, only to cup my cheek.

"Had a good sleep?" Ikuto teased.

"It was better than the night before..." I blushed again.

"No bathroom dash…that's a good sign," he teased as he brushed his thumb across my cheekbone.

"You think you're so funny…"

"Of course."

"That wasn't a question…"

He laughed. "So what's the plan for today?"

"I dunno. What do you want to do?"

"Hmm…I don't mind this so much," Ikuto said seductively as he tightened his arms around my waist, causing me to wrap my arms around his neck. I felt his breath against my cheek.

"Well…we have to get up."

"No we don't," he replied before kissing my cheek tenderly. I smiled. "Hmm, enjoying this?"

"…it's ok…" I lied.

"Stubbornness never got anyone far, Amu," he said before giving me spotted kisses on my cheek.

"Hmm…I never knew you were the romantic type," I teased.

"I guess you just make me that way," Ikuto said against my cheek.

"Ikuto nya!" Yoru yelled. Both of us sat up instantly at the sound of his voice. We realized that all five of them were floating in front of the bed, smirks on their faces.

"You've finally confessed desu!" Sue exclaimed.

"Ikuto! I'm proud of you nya! For a second I thought you were just going to let Amu slip away," Yoru exclaimed happily, placing his hands on his side as if he were doing a victory pose. But a French army hat on him, and he would've looked like Napoleon.

"Never," Ikuto's deep voice replied. I felt his arms wrap around my waist from the side as he pulled me onto his lap. He pressed my back into his chest as he rested his chin on my shoulder. "She's mine, and there's nothing she can do about it."

"And he's stuck with me, even if he doesn't like it," I said quietly. I felt his grip tighten as he laughed. His breath tickled my neck, causing me to giggle as well. I saw the charas all with wide eyes and huge grins. They were happy for us.

"Yoru! Yoru!" Ran exclaimed suddenly. Ikuto and I eyed her as she attacked Yoru with her pompoms. "Guess what?!"

"What nya?!" Yoru replied, irritated.

"We're siblings now!! That means…Ami-chan has someone else she can choke—I mean—hug!!! That means we have another person for her dress up parties and her tea parties!" Ran teased happily. Yoru's expression looked as if someone had just annihilated all the fish in the world right in front of his face.

"NO NYAAAAAAAAAA!" he exclaimed as he floated out the door. The charas soon followed afterwards, all giggling.

"Hmm…"Ikuto began to nuzzle the side of my neck. "You smell…delicious. Strawberries…"

I giggled at how different he was acting, completely out of character. He noticed.

"What?"

"Oh nothing…" I trailed off.

"Amu," he sounded stern.

"It's just that…you're all…playful and…romantic. And I've never heard you laugh so much, and it's only been a few minutes!"

"Laughing is a bad thing?" Ikuto teased as I turned my face to his.

"No no, I was just saying….it's nice…" I blushed.

"Amu," he called my attention. Soon I was looking into those beautiful, sapphire eyes of him. "I love you."

A smile crawled onto my face as the words sunk in. "Not as much as I love you."

"That was corny," Ikuto teased.

"Hey now!" I was about to whine and complain, until I felt something soft against my lips. Ikuto was kissing my lips softly, incasing my upper lip in between in. It was a soft kiss, but it had so much affection attached to it. When he pulled away slowly, I felt like I needed more. I opened my eyes to reveal his famous smirk.

"You were saying?"

"I love you too…" I replied. Then he finally let me off of his lap, but I was reluctant to go. However, we couldn't waist the day like that, and knowing Ikuto, there were probably more kisses to come…and who knows what else.

I blushed a deep crimson. But before he could comment, I grabbed some clothes and toiletries and rushed into the restroom. I heard him chuckle as I closed the door.

As soon as we both were ready, Ikuto grabbed my hand in his, intertwining our fingers, leading me into the kitchen.

"Uuuuh…Ikuto?" I was confused. Even though I liked the hand holding…I was still baffled.

"What? I can't hold your hand?" He asked defensively.

I giggled. "Yeah…you can." I blushed. Stop blushing Amu.

Once we were in the kitchen, we saw Yoru banging his head against the refrigerator's door while Ran, Miki, and Sue blabbered continuously about the fun they were going to have as brothers and sisters. Dia was giggling immensely at the sight of a depressed Yoru and overactive sisters.

"Yoru seems…annoyed…"Ikuto pointed out, trying to contain a chuckle himself. Suddenly I heard my phone ring. I tried pulling my hand away from Ikuto's, but he wouldn't budge. I had to drag him with me back to the bedroom to answer the phone. As I was about to answer, I felt Ikuto wind his arms around my waist from behind.

"I won't do anything, promise," he whispered into my ear. I sighed as I answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Amu-chan?! It's papa!"

"Papa! Hi! How are you? Is everything ok? When are you guys coming home?"

"Calm down Amu. We're fine. The weather turned hazardous over here, so we were forced to stay a couple of days. But good news is that we're coming home tonight!"

"Really?"

"Yes! Well I have to go. Time to drive! See you soon Amu-chan! Bye!"

The line went dead as papa hung up. After I shut my pink phone, Ikuto suddenly spun me in his arms so that I could face him.

"Why'd your dad call?" Ikuto asked curiously.

"They're coming home tonight," I said dully. I saw his smirk change into a small frown. He was good at hiding his emotions, but not perfect. I could see the sadness in his eyes.

"Oh…well…that's…good, I suppose," Ikuto said slowly. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He tightened his arms around me as I said, "Would it be corny if I said I didn't want to go?"

"No."

"Good."

"Amu, it's not like you're leaving the country," Ikuto whispered into my ear.

"That's true…"

"Cheer up," he said.

"You first."

He laughed as he brought his face to mine. I saw the smirk on his face as he saw the frown on mine. Then, I pressed my lips against his and began to kiss him voluptuously. He seemed surprised by my sudden movement, but then caught on quick.

"Besides," Ikuto said in between a kiss. "I'm probably going to sneak in your room everyday anyways…"

I laughed at how he said that, as if it were obvious. I pulled away as I headed for the kitchen, but Ikuto didn't follow. As I turned to look at him, he was suddenly deep in thought.

"Ikuto?" I brought his attention back to earth. He quickly walked over to me. "What were you thinking about?"

"Oh…nothing…"

"It's something…" I pried.

"I'll tell you later…" he said quickly as we walked into the kitchen.

"Fine…"

After we had finished our breakfast, consisting of toast and fruit, I asked, "Is it later?"

"What?" Ikuto asked, confused. But then it must have clicked. "Yeah…"

"Soooo?"

"Come here," he said as he grabbed my hand in his. He sat on the sofa, pulling me onto his lap. I blushed, but I no longer cared. Blushing was a part of me I couldn't erase, and Ikuto liked when I turned red…especially if he was the cause behind it. He then wrapped his arms my entire body, resting his chin on my shoulder.

"Amu…can I ask you something?" He whispered into my ear.

"Of course…"

"Amu…like I said…it gets…lonely…here…"

What's he getting at?

"Amu…after you…graduate from high school…and…move out…"

Then I understood.

"You want me to live with you," I stated quietly as I put all the pieces together.

"Yes," he sighed in relief.

Then I started to giggle, uncontrollably.

"Why are you laughing?" Ikuto sounded offended.

"Ikuto!" I gasped in between a giggle. I suddenly got up from his lap and sat cross legged beside him. After he copied my posture, I brought one hand up to his cheek.

"I'm not laughing at you! Of course I want to move in with you, I would in a heartbeat. I'm only laughing because the real obstacle here is my papa," I explained so he wouldn't be upset.

"I was only imagining what he would look like after I tell him about us…"

"I bet I can win your dad over," Ikuto said confidently as he grinned.

"Does that mean you're going to college?"

"Yeah…I'll major in music."

"Really? Cool…"

"I guess," he shrugged coolly, but I knew him better than that. Inside he was probably as excited as I was.

"So I guess…it's time the boyfriend met the girl's parents?"

"Boyfriend? Hmm…that's the first time you said that," he cocked an eyebrow.

"Well…it's true, isn't it?"

He only kissed the center of my palm. I took that as a yes. "So when am I meeting my girl's parents?"

My girl…nice. I smiled.

"Well obviously not tonight, because they'll be tired. What's today? Wednesday? How about Friday night?"

"Ok. Should I look formal?"

"Just look nice…" I ordered as I pulled my hand away from him. Suddenly he pulled me into his arms. We were in the position where we were sitting on the sofa, feet propped up on the coffee table. He had one arm around my shoulders as he brought his mouth to my ear.

"TV?" he asked, nibbling my ear. He slowly brought his lips to the corner of my mouth.

"Let's watch a movie!" I exclaimed as I suddenly dashed to his library of DVDs. I heard him grumble. He was going to kiss me, but I got up too quick. "HEY GUYS WE'RE WATCHING A MOVIE!" I exclaimed to the charas.

"No need to yell," I heard Ikuto moan.

"What movie? Scary? Chick Flick? Action?"

"I don't own chick flick movies, Amu. I'm an 18 year old guy…" Ikuto sighed. I heard him stand up and walk towards me. "Find anything?" he asked as he crouched down beside me.

"Have any Disney movies?"

"What are you? Five?!" he ruffled the top of my head, messing up my hair.

"Hey!" I exclaimed as I swiped his hand away. The action made me lose my balance. I feel flat on my back, with Ikuto on top. He had his signature smirk on as usual. I saw him place both his hands on either side of my head as he brought his face closer to mine.

"Hey g-get off I-Ikuto. What if t-they s-see?" I stuttered like a complete buffoon.

"So?" he replied seductively as he brought his lips to my cheek. Suddenly I felt something warm and wet glide across my cheek.

"Ikuto! What the hell? You're licking me?" I whispered frantically.

"Strawberry…delicious…"

"Ikuto…get off!" I hissed.

"Amu," he fake pouted his lips. But he did as I ordered and stood up, helping me up as well.

"Like I was saying…do you have any Disney movies?"

"…"

"…"

"Um…I think I have Mulan."

"NO WAY! I LOVE MULAN!" I squealed as I attacked his DVDs looking for Mulan. Once I found it, I squealed again. "Can we watch this one, Ikuto?" I asked, trying to use a seductive voice. He only laughed.

"Put it in…" he sighed as he sat back down. After I put the DVD into the player, I quickly took my seat next to Ikuto, snuggling into him as he placed an arm around my shoulder. As soon as the movie started, the five charas floated in and took a seat on the sofa chair beside ours.

We watched—actually I watched while Ikuto continued to mess around with me. I'd feel him kiss the top of my head, cheek, neck, or any spot he could reach at the most unpredictable times. I didn't mind so much…But as soon as the first song came on, I regretted choosing a Disney movie. All four of my charas began to 'sing,' causing even me to cover my ears. Poor Yoru, he was on the verge of insanity.

The rest of the day was spent like that. Enjoying ourselves with the ones we held dearest to our hearts. I'd never heard Ikuto laugh so much in one day before. But he deserved to laugh, to love, to smile. After leaving the reprimanding grasps of Easter, Ikuto deserved happiness and love. I considered myself lucky—no, extremely lucky—that I could share this with him, that I could be the one to love him.

When the time had finally come for me to leave…I didn't want to. But I would see him in my room anyways, so decided I cheered up. As I walked to the front door of my own house, I let my charas inside as I waited on the porch with Ikuto.

I threw my arms around him as he wound his around my waist. He suddenly kissed me lovingly; I returned the kiss, of course. After I heard a certain cat-like chara clear his throat, I pulled away quickly, realizing our kissing had turned very…passionate. Ikuto only laughed before kissing me on the cheek one last time.

"Don't forget to tell your parents," he whispered in my ear before walking away. I waved goodbye as his car drove away. Few minutes later, another car pulled up. A family car.

How in the world am I going to tell them?!?!
