(Start Chapter)

(Ikuto's POV)

I had run all the way to the hospital that Amu was staying in, not only because the doctor called to tell me that Amu was up, no I knew that already, but because Amu was the one to call me first. It had been three days that Amu was in the hospital and she'd slept through the first day. The next day she awoke in pain and the doctors didn't want to give her anything yet so I stayed with her. Every time I left I made sure the doctors knew to call me whenever Amu would wake up.

As I made my way to Amu's room in a hurried walk, I heard inside Amu's room a sigh then Amu calling out my name in a hushed whisper. I quietly made my presence noticed as I walked into her room and said, "You called?" I let out my breath as a smile appeared on her face. Maybe she was back to normal?

"I-Ikuto!" She sounded so happy; she even made my name sound like it was worth multi million dollars. "What's wrong?" Her voice quickly morphed into worry as she examined me walking from the doorway, using the wall for support, and crashing down at the bottom of her hospital bed. I knew she could see how exhausted I was, and how shallow my breathing was. I wanted to explain but I needed for the room to stop spinning and for me to breathe correctly again.

I looked to her with dull eyes, eyelids that felt like they had a million tons dangling, hoping for them to fall long enough so I could sleep. As my breathing came back to normal I looked her in the eye once more and asked, "What did they have you on?" My voice was husky and filled with something like concern.

"I don't understand your question, Ikuto," she said to me, very serious.

"I got this call at four in the morning from you. You said half the hospital had blown up and all the nurses and everyone else were pretending it was okay. You even ripped out your IV because you thought the cords had also blown away so having an IV in was useless." I looked at her with unsure eyes as she listened to my story. A blush, the blush I loved, crept upon her face as my story embarrassed her.

"I-I never did that. If I did I would remember, right?" She was now questioning herself and her sanity at the moment, probably.

"And when I told you to go tell the doctors about this you agreed. I got a call saying everything was okay and you were in bed, resting…"

I waited for her to take it all in before I continued.

"Then at ten this morning you called say there were three little talking mushrooms on the couch in this room, talking to you. You were ignoring them and had your back to the wall. It was okay because you were watching the food network." I waited again for her to take in the crazy things I'd experienced this morning over the phone. "I heard your mother's voice say, 'Amu, give me that phone now.' Now, I'm not sure how your family responded to this but you then whispered into the phone, 'Here comes one.' Your mom then talked to me and told me that you were just pretending, though I think she said that just to calm herself and your father down."

Amu's face was red, and I don't mean that innocent pink blush that appears upon her silky skin when I tease her, but a tomato red; if not darker. "I-I said that?" She asked. Her hands tried to cover her face as she looked down.

"I ran here as fast as I could after getting a call from the doctor, again, telling me that they'd medicated you so you wouldn't act crazy again. I demanded to know what it was that they put in your IV but they said it was classified information for only the doctors and patients family members to know. I think it was LSD though."

I sat up from my laying down position and laid down next to Amu, snuggling my face into her flat chest. One of my arms wrapped around her waist wile my other arm was busy intertwining my long slender fingers with her childlike ones. One of my legs rested on top of hers wile she positioned one of hers between my legs. She, too, morphed her body to mine as I was to hers. Her free arm was wrapped around my back and her forehead resting on top of my head.

I was ready for sleep to overpower me now. For these three days Amu has been in the hospital I haven't slept a wink due to visiting hours and when being forced out of the hospital, I couldn't help but be restless. I hadn't slept because when I was here with Amu I couldn't take my eyes off her, to make sure she was okay, not checking her out… and checking her out. When I wasn't with Amu I was too fidgety to sleep, worried something might happen to her wile I was gone. Now, the night that I put Amu in the hospital I probably got 30 minutes of sleep, though I was tossing and turning this way and that way.

"Amu?"

"What is it Ikuto?" Her breath tickled my scalp and her voice intoxicated my mind. It was so soft; it was almost like she was ready for sleep to come to her as well. Maybe we could take a nap together? That'd be nice after so long.

"Nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice."

She giggled lightly and somehow got closer to me, cuddling closer to me. I liked it, a lot. I faintly remember Utau telling Amu once that I'd never been interested in a girl before Amu. It was true, Amu made me feel weird, things I've never felt before. They're good feelings, and bad feelings. I almost don't like it.

Her torso raised and lowered at the same pace as her breathing came and went, very evenly. She was asleep. I wanted to move so I could watch her sleep, peace upon her face, an angelic smile, smooth skin, and a light blush on her cheeks. I realized that now, being able to see it, feel it, our lips meeting and moving in rhythm together, that I too was in a dream of my own. Slumbering next the beautiful dreamer. I hope only now we won't be disturbed, I'd like to stay here for a very long time.

(Narrator's POV)

Tadase walked down the halls of the white building filled with sick or deeply injured people. The smell was horrible, but he'd withstand it for Amu. He was convinced he was in love with Amu and he have to admit, he had gotten a little worried by her avoiding him, or so he thought. She wasn't picking up his phone calls and when he did call today her mother picked up and said she wasn't home. He had to call Nedeshiko to find out she was in the hospital. He was so worried he got a ride there and slowly rushed through the halls.

He was not expecting what he was about to see. As he reached Amu's room, his heart began to beat faster; his hands began to sweat along with his forehead. As his fingers formed around the metallic handlebar to enter the room he felt like he might faint. What if she rejects him when he asks again? What if she's mad at him for asking again? Is she busy being visiting with her family? He checked and he didn't hear anything, just the TV inside playing a scene from the movie, 'Aladdin.'

He loved the handle, letting himself inside the room. What he saw, was not to appealing for his taste. What the heck is going on here? He thought angrily.

(End Chapter)

Sorry this is such a short chapter but I wanted to put in a cliff hanger. I'm going to try to make this a long story, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it for longer than a few more chapters. Though don't fret. There is going to be a sequel to this that I started a wile ago so it already has a few chapters. The only way I can get this story to be way longer is by taking a one-shot I was thinking about and placing it into this story and forming a huge problem for Amuto, though in the end it only becomes even more Amutoness. I want your readers votes, use the one-shot to make this story longer, or cut it off soon and start on the sequel. It's up to you readers!

I'm also very sorry it took me so long to update. I had to get my information right. A lot of the material I use in this story is from real like experiences of me and the ones around me. The whole, 'Building explosion' and 'talking mushrooms'… Yeah, all an experience of one of my family members. Amu's past with Zeke, mostly and slightly based off of mine and my sister's childhood. The coming up one-shot I'll be doing, or the addition to this story (up to you) was based off a recent event of a friend and mines.

Ikuto: Boy does this chick talk a lot… JUST GET IT OVER WITH!

Scarlet: Fine, fine. I love you all, thank you for reading and now all you have to do it review and tell me what you want! Loves!
