A/N: Hi guys and gals~! Please read and enjoy the story.

Estar is gone. Peace with Tadase and Ikuto was made. Everything is right on this snowy day, with the Gardians, Ikuto, Utau, and Kukai.

It was early February. The snow was still on the ground with all its splendor. Each snow flake was now fused together to create layer upon layer of white fluff. But the atmosphere was chilling. A single breath would come out in smoke. But for the four monks, it was pure bliss. It just meant that they would spend the day building snowmen that resembled themselves, drinking hot chocolate, and most importantly, the ever famous snowball fight.

They split into five teams, each in their own hiding place. Utau and Tadase hid behind the school. Yaya and Kukai behind a shelter of trees. Nagihiko and Rima saftly in the garden. That left Amu and was by the front of the school. She was getting ready her snowballs when she heard the crunching sound of snow. She got up quickly, readied with a snowball in hand. When she saw that there was no one behind her, she immediately disregarded it and went back to what she was doing. When her guard was completely let down, she felt a cold sensation go down her back. She shrieked and reached down her back to try to get the snow out. While she was doing that, she heard an unmistakable roar of laughter from her attacker. She turned to him and saw he was nearly in tears.

"Ikuto!" she yelled.

"Man, I keep forgetting how predictable you are," he laughed uncontrollably. But he was then hit across the face with a ball of frosted ice. He looked over at her face that had a smirk on it.

"You are going down," he said playfully as she started running off laughing. Throwing snowballs at each other. At one point, Ikuto grabbed Amu around her waist fell down onto the ground right on top of her. She managed to grab a hand full of snow and mashed it against his face. She laughed at his widened eyes.

"You look so stupid," she laughed. He returned her a smile.

"I should tell you the same thing, Rudolph," he retorted, referring to her now red nose.

"At least I'm not as red as a tomato."

As soon as they stopped laughing, they realized the position they were in. He was right on top of her and their faces were so close that their noses were practically touching. Taking comfort in each other's warmth.

"Uh... Ikuto?"

"Yeah?" She never got to ask her question because Ikuto leaned in to her and placed his lips over hers. He pulled back quickly as soon as he realized what he was doing.

"Uh... Sorry. I don't know what came over-" He didn't get to finish his sentence because Amu grabbed his face and pulled him down for another kiss. Eyes closed, mind completely lost in the moment, he kissed her back.

Meanwhile, Tadase and Utau went back into the gardan, along with Kukai and Yaya.

"Did you see them?!" Kukai laughed. "They were tottaly sucking faces!"

Rima turned to him. "Who?"

"Amu-chii and Ikuto-kun~!" Yaya laughed.

Rima's eyes widened. "No."

Negihiko laughed. "Rima-chan, let Amu-chan love who she loves. You'll still be her bestfriend, no matter what."

Rima humphed, as did Utau and Yaya.

"Did I just start a fight?" Negihiko thought, nervesly.

---Back to the Amuto sene....

"I love you," Ikuto said.

Amu just smiled. I know. And I love you back."

With that, they kissed again.
