My apologies for not continuing earlier, I've been busy, and I honestly didn't think I would be continuing this story. Well you guys asked for it, so it's not my fault if it's bad! Haha, juuust kiddin. Here we go, another chapter just for you! Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 10: Everyone Together…What's going on?
Amu POV
My eyes struggled to open as they worked to adjust to the bright morning light coming through my sliding doors leading out to my balcony. I rolled over on my stomach to push myself up into a sitting position. I yawned and stretched, then gently rubbed my eyes with my bed-warm hands. Before getting out of bed, I paused.
I reflected on the memories of everything that happened yesterday, it still seemed so unreal. Me and Nagi, huh? I wondered what it would sound like if someone were to mix our names together in honor of us becoming a couple, sort of like a Brangelina thing. Would it be Nagamu? Amuhiko? I couldn't decide, just the idea of it made me laugh.
I finally got myself out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up before breakfast. Upon looking in the mirror I realized that I had this slightly smug, stupid look on my face. Not to mention my hair was sticking up in every direction. I couldn't help but chuckle at myself, what was that look for? I felt a little proud I guess. I couldn't help it, not after everything that had happened.
Oh well, hopefully my parents wouldn't notice. I wasn't the best liar, especially with my parents. They had that weird parental power to force stuff out of you, it's pretty creepy if you ask me.
It was then that I caught a faint smell of waffles and fresh strawberries. Weird, we don't eat waffles for breakfast very often. It was usually a special occasion kind of breakfast, but whatever. I wasn't going to complain. I loved waffles.
As I headed downstairs, I let out a few large yawns. I guess I still wasn't completely awake, even though it was already 10:30.
"Good morning Amu-chan." Said my mom from the kitchen.
"Morning Mama." I replied.
"Mornin Big Sis! Heheheh…" chuckled Ami from her seat at the table. She had the weirdest look on her face, like she was expecting something, but in an odd sort of way.
"Morning…Amu-chan…" muttered Papa between muffled sobs. He was slumped over at his seat at the table and crying for some reason.
"Uh, morning Ami…and…Papa…" I returned.
What was up with them this morning? They were acting so strange. They should be happier, we were having waffles, and waffles are delicious. While eyeing the both of them suspiciously, I slowly took my seat at the table.
I couldn't stand to look at Ami's strangely dark-looking expectant face, so I turned to Papa.
"Uh Papa, you're kinda…well your tears are pooling on the floor." I informed him. The obnoxiously large pool on the ground was beginning to head towards my feet. I tried to watch the pools direction then lift and move my feet strategically to avoid the puddle. I was still watching the puddle's movement when I heard it.
"Good morning Amu-chan." Said a voice a few feet away.
"Yeah yeah, good morning Nagi." I responded dismissively.
…
I froze.
N-n-nagi? No…I've got to be dreaming. Fright distorted my face and my mouth hung agape. I slowly and robotically lifted my head to check if…
"Hello, Amu-chan." Said a smiling Nagi, looking completely presentable in normal clothing, in contrast to my disheveled pajama morning look.
Wha…? Nagi…right here…my parents and my sister…together…?
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to collect myself, or at least attempt to.
When I reopened them, he was still standing there, patiently waiting for me to stop freaking out.
I guess that explains the waffles, but what's going on?
Ooo, pretty exciting, eh? What is he doing there? I don't even know yet, or maybe I do. But that's for another chapter.
:/...?
Aaaanyways, don't worry, it definitely won't be months until the next chapter this time. Once again, so sorry. :( Thanks for sticking with me if you have already read the previous chapters, and if you haven't, thanks for giving my story a chance! I'm still surprised people wanted more chapters, but I'll take it, haha. Later then! (But not ridiculously later...i promise...haha.)
