I feel special. I'm at 10 chapters in one of my stories. Woo! Anyways, I own nothing.

Chapter 10: Great…

Normal POV

"Ah! It's been such a long day!" Tadase exclaimed. Ikuto nodded, and smiled at Tadase, who was stretching on a bench. They were done for the day, drawing, writing, everything. They could do whatever they wanted now.

"Let's go somewhere!" Tadase said excitedly. Ikuto shook his head.
"You know I hate going anywhere…" Tadase shrugged.
"So, then I'll teach you to love going places!!" he grinned, and started to drag Ikuto along. Ikuto groaned.

Tadase dragged and dragged Ikuto, he was really excited to be helping Ikuto be more acquainted with the world, even if that meant just a little. He would do anything for Ikuto, considering that he loved him. But, how did Ikuto feel about him? They knew each other for a while now, and after the soup incident, they never mentioned anything how much they liked or disliked each other. It was a mystery how Tadase couldn't see through Ikuto. It was also a mystery how he couldn't seem to ask Ikuto how he felt. On the other hand, the midnight blue haired writer was confused himself. He wanted to hug Tadase right now, because he looked so cute. Taking charge of everything, acting like a superior. Though he was, by job wise. Ikuto shook off the thought and snatched his hand back from Tadase.

"Eh?" Tadase turned around and looked at Ikuto.

"I'm not a doll you know…" Ikuto said, rubbing his wrist. Tadase smirked.

"Are you sure about that?" Tadase took Ikuto's hand, and ran.

People bumped into them, yelled at them, and looked at them weird as they kept running. Tadase wouldn't stop, no matter how big a person was; if they were two feet taller than him, he just wanted to mess around with Ikuto, so he wouldn't stop.

"T-Tadase!" Ikuto yelped out, almost tripping over something. Tadase grinned wide, and ran to the mall, which was almost a mile away.

At the mall…

Ikuto huffed, and glared at Tadase, who was huffing and grinning at Ikuto.

"I hate you…" Ikuto hissed.
"Ow. That really hurts. Right here." Tadase pointed to the right side of his chest, opposite where his heart was.

"Ugh… and I thought I was sarcastic…" Ikuto huffed. Tadase snickered, and started to walk.

"Where are you going?" Ikuto called. Tadase shrugged. Ikuto sighed, and walked after him.

When he caught up, Tadase pointed to a store.

"What about it?" Ikuto asked.

"We're going in this one." Tadase grabbed Ikuto's arm, and dragged him in. After all that running to the mall, which was almost a mile away, Ikuto was too tried to argue about him dragging him or not. Though, he wasn't tired enough to argue about shopping.

"Oh no no no." Ikuto snatched his hand back again, and started walking to the door of the store.

"Oh yes yes yes." Tadase grabbed Ikuto and pulled him in.

"Do we really have to argue about this? I know you hate being a social person, but gosh, how can you not like shopping?" Ikuto gagged at the thought of something. When he was younger, Utau, his sister, would drag him everywhere to shop. Amu would too. He learned to hate it. He would have to carry their bags, tell them if they looked cute in this outfit, or this outfit, and not get appreciated at all for anything he did for them that day.

"Long story short, I was never appreciated by certain people when we went shopping." Tadase held in a laugh.

"That's not a very good reason to not like shopping." Tadase said, letting go of his hand, and looking at some clothes. Ikuto sighed and watched Tadase.

"So…" Ikuto tried to start up a conversation.

"Hm?" Tadase listened.

"So, do you have a family?" Ikuto asked.

"They live in America." Tadase said coldly. Ikuto noticed his tone.

"Something wrong with them and you?" Tadase turned around and smiled.

"They just don't like my job! They wanted me to be an accountant. Like I really want that job. How does this look?" Tadase held up a shirt. It was a buttoned up shirt that had blue and white stripes.

"Get it. It would look good on you." Ikuto stated, standing up, and going to the front to pay for the shirt with Tadase.

"This is all we're getting?" Tadase asked, walking up. Ikuto nodded his head and took the shirt. He put it on the counter, and waited for the clerk to scan it, and tell them how much it was.

"13.75 please." The girl said. Tadase smiled and took out his wallet. He pulled out enough money for the shirt, paid for it, and the two left the store.

"That was kind of boring you know?" Tadase said, fake yawing, but ended up really yawing in the end.

Ikuto chuckled.

"I told you that this was pointless." Ikuto said.

"No! I'll show you that going places can be fun, you freaking hermit!" Tadase scolded, dragging Ikuto off once again. Ikuto gave a slight smile.

Later that day…

"You suck… You know that…" Tadase exclaimed, resting on a nearby bench outside. He put the stuff he had bought onto the bench. Tadase had been dragging Ikuto all day, making him go into shops, trying on stuff, buying stuff, well not really buying stuff for Ikuto just Tadase.

"And why would that be Tadase?" Ikuto smirked. Tadase glared at him.

"You didn't change your opinion about leaving your house…" Tadase said.

"I told you. It will take a miracle to do that." Ikuto continued to smirk.

Tadase got up, and nodded his head. He understood that he wouldn't change his mind, but it was a nice try.

Ikuto frowned from Tadase's sudden quietness and sadness.

"Hey…"

"Let's go somewhere else!" Tadase said, getting up and stretching. Ikuto nodded his head. They both picked up some bags, and started to walk.

The two walked in the slight, quiet darkness. It wasn't that dark out, but it was dark enough so that you would get lost.

"So how is your relationship with your family?" Tadase asked Ikuto as they walked.

Ikut shrugged. "My mother and father live in a remote area in America, and my sister is a famous singer, and she travels the world with her husband." Ikuto said.

"Who's your sister?" Tadase asked.

"Hoshina Utau. That's her stage name, but her name is Tsukiyomi Utau." Tadase nodded his head, understanding who it was.

"What about yours? I know your parents live in America and stuff…"

"My parents live in America, they run a world famous bank, and that's it. I don't have any siblings or anything." Tadase said.

"How about a love life?" Ikuto asked.

"I haven't really had one… I mean, I dated people before, but they weren't anyone really special. How about you?" Tadase said.

"Only one girl. She was the love of my life, but she broke up with me."

"Oh! You mean that girl we bumped into earlier today, who made you go into depression?" Ikuto nodded.

"Ah… She sounds like such a nice person." Tadase said sarcastically.

"Sure." Ikuto said. He stopped walking, and looked around at his surroundings. They were in a forest, it was even darker then before, and it had an eerie feeling to it.

"Where are we?" Tadase asked, stopping his feet.

"I don't know…" Ikuto took out his phone. There were no bars here, so they couldn't call for anyone or anything like that.

"It's 10:00… We spent the whole day…And now we're here." Tadase said, looking at his watch. Ikuto sighed, and admitted the faults of their trip.

"Good news: We're finished with our manuscript. Bad news: We're lost in the woods…"
