Chapter 11: I Love You
Ikuto's POV
It's been 4 days since the incident. Amu didn't have serious injuries, just some cuts.
Currently, I was going over to Amu's dorm to see how she is doing.
"Going over to see your crush again?" Kukai asked cheekily.
"She is not my crush," I replied. Is she? Maybe but I feel like it's more than a crush. I love her.
"Sure~" Kukai sang.
I just rolled my eyes and went out. Nagi and Kairi are out. So now Kukai is alone in the dorm but I think he will be going out soon. I can't remember why he was going out.
I was walking to Amu's dorm, which was just next door. I saw Utau come out. Oh yeah, Kukai and Utau are going on a date.
"Hey bro," Utau greeted me.
"Hey Utau," I greeted her. "Amu in right?"
"Ah, seeing Amu again."
"So? That's none of your business."
She chuckled. "Yeah she's in. Rima and Yaya are not though."
It's quite early in the morning and everyone was already going out. But that's good. I got to be alone with Amu. Rima annoys me sometimes. She have this attitude. Yaya is just too loud all the time.
"Ok. Have fun on your date. Don't get in trouble."
"Yeah sure..."
I knocked on the door and went in. I saw Amu at the study table with earphones plugged in. She must be doing her homework.
She didn't notice me so I creeped up to her. Once I was behind her, I lower myself to her neck and breathe on it.
She got a shock and screamed a little. Maybe she got used to me doing that. She used to scream louder than that.
She took off her earphones and turn around.
"Ikuto you pervert!"
I chucked. She was blushing. I like it when she blushes. She looks so cute.
"How are you? Feeling better?" I asked. I asked her the same thing everyday.
"I'm fine," she replied. "You don't have to keep asking me. It's been a few days since the incident. I'm fine."
"Ok, if you say so."
"I'm serious. I'm fine."
I didn't answer. I just stared at her. She looks so beautiful.
"Why are you staring me?"
"Nothing," I murmured.
"Are you sick? You're acting weird," she said then she gently touched my forehead with her small soft hands.
I started to feel nervous. Who would thought that the I, the playboy, would be nervous?
Should I tell her? Tell her that I love her. Maybe I should ask her out on a date? Damn it, just do it.
"Amu?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to go out tonight?"
"Go where?"
"Like for dinner, hang out or something."
"Like a date?"
"I guess so..."
"You sure you're ok?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I'm fine. So do you want to go on a date with me?"
"Sure," she replied me with a smile. Gosh, she is so beautiful.
"Great," I smiled back at her.
I look around the room. It was incredibly quiet without Yaya's shouting and screaming and Rima's annoying voice.
"So where did Yaya and Rima go?" I decided to ask.
"Oh, they both went out. Yaya went out with Kairi. She dragged him out to find the new candy she saw everyone eating. Rima went out with Nagi. Can you believe it? Nagi asked her out on a date."
"Really? How come I didn't know about that?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe it's because you don't even want to know about it. Anyways, she actually refused then I convinced her," she paused for awhile. She looked like she was thinking about something. "Ok, Rima's is probably going to kill me for telling you this but she have feelings for Nagi. And I think Nagi have feelings for Rima too. I mean, why would he ask her out on a date."
"Ok..." I said, uninterested.
"See! I knew it. You're not even interested."
"Hmm? Yeah..." I was busy thinking about something else. About me having feelings for Amu.
"Hey, you there?" Amu was waving her hands in front of me.
"Yeah." I looked at her. "You want to go to the 'our alone time place'."
"Well, I have to do this finish," she gestured to her homework on the table. "Plus, you're bringing me out later. I think you should just go have some time to yourself."
"Ok then. I'll pick you up at 7?"
"Ok," she smiled.
"See ya later."
"Ok. See you!"
Amu's POV
Ikuto just left. I turned back to my desk, staring at my homework. Right, back to doing this boring crap. (A/N: I know a lot of people think that. Homework sucks!)
I thought of what happened just now. Ikuto asked me out on a date! Wait, why am I so excited? My heart beats faster. Why does this always happen to me when I think about him or when he's around?
Before I could think about anything else, I dashed to my closet. I got to find something nice to wear. I dug through my closet.
At that moment, the door opened. Who could it be? Utau, Rima and Yaya went out. Unless Yaya already found her candy but I doubt she'll just come back to the dorm after getting the candy. That girl is too hyper and can't just be cooped up in a room.
I turn around and saw Utau standing there. What was she doing here? I thought she went out with Kukai. They were going on a movie marathon, watching all the lastest movies at the cinema.
"Hey Utau!" I greeted her. "What are you doing here? I thought you went on your movie marathon with Kukai."
"Hey Amu!" Utau greeted me back. "The guy I call my boyfriend apparently forgotten to take all the movie tickets. He is a real idiot."
I rolled my eyes. Even though Utau calls him names, - sometimes Kukai calls her names too but mostly Utau calling Kukai names - she still loves him. They always bicker with each other. But that's how their relationship works.
"Kukai went to take the tickets and you guys can leave already. So, what are you doing here?"
"Well, there is some time before the movie starts so I thought of charging my phone," she took the charger and plugged it in her phone.
"So what you doing with your clothes?" She asked, seeing the clothes I took out on the bed and my closet door open.
"Oh, I'm looking for something to wear."
"Why?" She looked towards my table where my homework was. "You're just doing homework."
"It's for later. I'm going somewhere."
"Oh. Where you going?"
"Um, Ikuto asked me to go dinner with him."
Once I said that, Utau got really excited. "Oh My Gosh! You're going on a date with my bro?!"
"Utau calm down! It's not a date." I paused for a moment. "Fine, it's something like a date."
"Hehe~"
"Don't get any ideas, ok? We're just going for dinner."
"Ok ok." She dragged me to my closet. "We got to find you something to wear."
She took out a really long dress. "How about this?"
"Um, too fancy."
She took out another set of clothes.
"This?"
"Too casual."
"How 'bout you borrow my clothes? Try something new."
"Uh ok..."
Utau started digging through her closet. She took out a shirt that looked really tight and a mini skirt.
"Try this!"
"Um, don't you think the shirt is a little right looking and the skirt is too short?"
"That's the point! The shirt will hug your boobs and curves. The skirt will show of your legs. Ikuto will nosebleed!"
"You want Ikuto to nosebleed?"
She just laugh. "I know that's not your style of clothing." She folded the clothes she took out and put them in her closet. "I don't even know why I bought it. I think it was to impress a guy. But with experience, Amu, never be someone you're not. Just be yourself. And if a guy doesn't like you for who you are then to bad for him. He's missing out."
I just listen to her. I don't even know why she started talking about all this. But she does have a point. Though I'm not being someone I'm not.
"Utau, you have a point but I'm not being someone I'm not so don't worry. And who says I'm trying to impress Ikuto?"
"Heh, looks to me you are."
"Well, no, I'm not. We're just going out for dinner."
"You never know. That dinner, could be a start of something new." She smirked. It's creepy how much it's like Ikuto's. "Like a relationship."
A relationship? I don't even know my feelings towards him.
"Utau, don't say too much. Just look for something for me to wear."
"Hai, hai!" (A/N: If you guys don't know, 'hai' is yes in Japanese. But in this case, it's 'yeah, yeah!'. I decided to put some Japanese in the story.)
Finally, we settled on an outfit. It was a simple sleeveless dress that stopped just at my knee. The dress was turquoise and had a belt with it. Utau said I could keep it since she didn't really wear it.
(A/N: I put the link to the dress pic on my profile. So it should be there.)
The door opened and Kukai came in. "Hi Amu. Utau, we should go."
"Hi Kukai."
"Ok," Utau took her phone and put it in her bag.
"See you later Amu," Utau and Kukai said.
"Ok. Bye! Have fun!"
I close the door and looked back at the dress that was neatly placed on the bed.
I was going on a date with Ikuto...
If I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited. Then I thought back what Utau said.
Like a relationship.
Relationship? I'm so confuse about my feelings towards him. What do I feel towards him? Do I have those romantic feelings towards him? And even if I do, he probably doesn't feel the same way.
Do I love him?
I took a bath and changed to the clothes Utau choose for me.
I was waiting for Ikuto then I heard a knock on the door.
I opened the door to see Ikuto standing there with a smile. He looked at me and soon that smile turned into a smirk.
"Dressed up for me?"
"W-what?! No!" I'm pretty sure I was blushing.
"Hmm... Sure~" he was still smirking but it soon turn into a smile again. "You look beautiful."
"T-thanks."
"So... You ready to go?"
"Oh yeah, sure. Let me get my bag."
I got my bag and we headed out.
"So where are we going?" I asked when we got in Ikuto's car.
"Somewhere," he said while driving out of school.
"Somewhere is not an answer."
"Yes, it is."
"Well, I want a more detailed answer."
"Don't worry. I got it all planned out."
"Ok."
"Do you like Italian food?"
"Yeah, it's ok."
"Good."
"Why? Are we eating Italian food?"
"Yeah. I made reservations since that place is always full. That gives you a clue where we are going?"
"Hmm... I still don't know." Ikuto just chuckled.
Finally, we stopped in front of a restaurant. Ikuto got out of the car. I was about to get out but Ikuto opened the door for me, letting me out.
I looked at the restaurant. I looked at the name of the restaurant. It was called 'Cucina - The Italian Kitchen'. (A/N: I have no idea what 'Cucina' means. I recently went to a hotel and they had this Italian restaurant that I went and that was the name. So I'm just going to use it since I don't know anything else.)
There was a lot of people queuing up outside of the restaurant. It sure was crowded.
Ikuto took my hand. Ikuto's hand was always so warm and big. It felt nice. I blushed. What do I always feel like this.
"Come on. I made reservations, remember?"
He led me to the entrance of the restaurant, cutting the queue. I saw some people looking at us quite annoyed that we cut the queue.
"Reservations under Tsukiyomi Ikuto," he said to the person at the entrance. (A/N: I don't know what that guy is called.) He was still holding my hand.
The person at the entrance looked at the list. He must have found Ikuto's name because he nodded and led us in.
A waiter took us to our table. It was at the back of the restaurant where there was not a lot of people.
Ikuto pulled my chair so I could sit. He took his seat too and the waiter spoke.
"Good evening, welcome to Cucina"
He gave us a menu each. "Here are the menu. Do look at what you want to have. Take your time and when you are ready you can call any of the waiter or waitress around."
I opened the menu and looked at it. There was a lot of delicious dishes. I didn't know which one to choose.
"So what do you want to eat?" I asked Ikuto.
"I don't know. Probably something with fish."
I chuckled. "You and your fish."
"What's wrong with that?" Ikuto raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing." I continue to look at the menu. The pizza looks good. I love pizza. "I think I'll get pizza. I love pizza."
"I didn't know that."
"Well, now you know. Pizza is the best."
"Ok. Well, I want spaghetti with salmon."
"Ok. Ready to order?"
Ikuto didn't answer. He just called a waiter. It was the same waiter that led us to our seat.
"Ready to order?" He asked. He was looking at me which was really weird. I felt uncomfortable.
I ignored it and replied, "Yes. I'll have a pepperoni and mushroom pizza."
"I'll have spaghetti with salmon," Ikuto ordered but the waiter doesn't seem to be giving much attention to Ikuto when he was ordering.
The waiter wrote it down and quickly turn back to me.
"What drinks would you like to have?"
"Oh um..." I quickly looked back at the menu. "I'll have ice lemon tea."
The waiter wrote that down. After he did, he didn't ask Ikuto what he wanted.
"Ahem," Ikuto cleared his throat to get his attention. The waiter turn slightly towards his direction. "I'll just have coffee."
He turned back to me. "Is that all?"
"Yes," I replied. That guy was kinda weird.
Ikuto and I just chit chat while we wait for the food to come. It didn't take very long for the food to arrive.
The food was delicious. The pizza was really cheesy. Ikuto let me try some of his dish. The salmon was perfectly cooked.
Ikuto POV
The food at 'Cucina' was good. But the waiter kinda pisses me off.
He gave Amu all the attention. Not that I wanted attention, no, I just want to order my food. He didn't even ask what I wanted. I had to get his attention. He kept staring at her but understand if he stares at her. She looks so beautiful tonight. Still, I wanted to kick that guys ass.
After dinner, we took a walk in the park. When the sky turn dark, we left.
"Thanks for tonight Ikuto," Amu said when I was driving.
"Who says it's over?"
"We're going somewhere else?"
"Yep," I replied. "It's another place where I go alone."
"Another one of your alone place?"
"Yep."
"You're weird." I chuckled.
We stopped outside a building, Easter. Easter is my father's company. Sometimes I go up to the roof to be alone. The view up there is amazing.
I helped Amu open the door. She came out and looked around. "Easter?"
"Yep," I said. "It's my father's company. Come on."
I took her hand. It was small compared to mine. I led her in the building. We took the lift to the highest floor.
"Why are we going up there?" Amu asked.
"We're going to the roof. It's where I like to be alone. The view there is amazing."
"Ok."
We got to the top. As usual the city lights were really beautiful. I like to come up here especially at night.
"Wow!" Amu exclaimed while looking at the view. "The lights are so beautiful."
"Yeah," I said. There was a small breeze that blew against Amu's hair. It swayed to a side. The moonlight against her skin. She looks so beautiful. She's like an angel.
Another breeze came and I saw Amu shivered. She must be cold. She was only wearing a sleeveless dress.
"Amu?" I called. She turned around.
"Hmm?"
"You cold?" I didn't wait for a reply. I took of my jacket and put it over her.
Wrap me in your jacket.
"T-thanks," she blushed. Gosh, she looks so cute.
"You're so cute when you blush," she blushed even more. Too cute!
I smiled. Should I tell her now? Tell her I love her. What if she doesn't feel the same? What if she rejects me? If she does, will our friendship be the same? All this is so damn complicated! Ah, just do it Ikuto!
"Amu," she looked at me. I took a step closer and continued, "I love you."
I closed my eyes gently waiting for the outcome.
Amu's POV
"Amu," I looked at Ikuto. He had brought me up to his father's company building. The view was so beautiful. Ikuto took a step closer. "I love you."
My eyes widened. Ikuto closed his eyes gently. I didn't know what to do. The school playboy loves me? Ikuto loves me? All the girls in the world that he could get, he loves me? I wasn't expecting this. Is this all a joke he's playing? I looked at Ikuto, he doesn't seem to be playing a joke now. Though his eyes are close, he looks sincere.
Seeing Ikuto so sincere. That was the moment. The moment I realize I love Ikuto. Ikuto that teases me, that makes fun of me, always making me embarrassed. I love him. Ikuto that is also sweet, that says I'm beautiful, that cares for me. I love him. All my feelings that I was confused of, was actually love. Love for him.
I took a small step forward, our chest almost touching. I closed my eyes and tiptoed since Ikuto was so tall and I did it. I pressed my lips against his. I kissed him.
It didn't take long at all when Ikuto kissed me back. I could feel his lips against mine. He put his arms around my waist.
And kiss me, underneath the moonlight.
We pulled apart. It was just a short and sweet kiss but it was amazing.
Our foreheads were still touching. I looked into Ikuto's eyes. "I love you too."
Ikuto smiled. We stayed there. I feel so warm in his arms.
I wish we could stay there forever but we decided to go back since it was getting late.
The ride back was mostly silent. Ikuto put his hands over mine while he was driving.
We reach back to school. Ikuto was holding my hand while we were walking back to our dorms. We went to Ikuto's room. It was empty. None of them have come back yet.
Ikuto looked at me. Suddenly, he carried me. He lay me in his bed.
And lay me in your bed.
He climbed on top of me, putting both his hands on both side of my head so that he won't crush me with his weight. He looked into my eyes.
"Gosh, you're so beautiful. I can stare at you all day." I blushed.
His face got closer until our forehead touched. He leaned in a little and our lips touched. He kissed me gently.
Ikuto's POV
I was kissing Amu again. I can't believe that she loves me too. I wanted it to last. The leaned in, deepening the kiss.
Suddenly, the door opened. "Hey, Tsukiyomi you hom- Woah!" It was Kukai.
"What?" That was Nagi.
All of them were back. I could hear them. I was still on top of Amu. I was blocking her so they couldn't see her.
"Ikuto, they're back. Get off me." Amu whispered.
"Ikuto?" That was Utau. "He brought a girl back?"
"The last time Ikuto did that was like months ago," that was Rima.
"Yeah," that was Kairi.
They think I brought back a girl? Well, I used to do that. I stop after I met Amu. I was going to get her to fall in love with me but ended up I fell in love with her.
I got of Amu and heard gasps.
"Amu?" Rima asked shocked. Finally, she wasn't using her bored tone.
"Oo Amu-chi~" Yaya sang.
"About time bro," Utau said.
"Yep," Nagi agreed.
"Haha! I knew this would happen sooner or later," Kukai said with a grin on his face.
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto-kun totally had a crush on her," Kairi said while pushing up his glasses.
I looked at Amu. She was sitting up and looking away, embarrassed. She was blushing.
I stood up. "It's late. I think we should all go to bed."
"I think we interrupted their moment," Kukai said cheekily. "We should go to the other room and give them some privacy."
"N-no!" Amu suddenly shouted. But it wasn't very loud. "I'm going to bed."
All of them laughed. The girls started going out of our room to their room. I followed them.
Once the rest of the girls were in their room, I gave Amu a small peck on the lips.
"See you tomorrow princess," I said.
"G-goodnight," she said while blushing. I smiled.
"Sweet dreams," I kissed her forehead and went back to my room.
Amu POV
Ikuto went back to his room and I went in mine.
"So you're with my bro now, huh?" Utau smirked.
"U-uh... Y-yeah," I said embarrassed. I still wasn't used to it. Plus, what happened just now was embarrassing.
"Oh Amu, it's nothing to be embarrassed about," Rima said.
"Says the girl who doesn't want to admit she likes a guy," Utau said to Rima.
"No!" Rima defended.
"Then, confess to him."
"Fine, I will!"
I watched them argue. It was quite amusing but sometimes it get too annoying.
"I'm tired. Let's get to bed," I said, yawning.
We got ready and went to sleep. I thought about what happened today. It was just magical. It felt like a fairytale.
I fell asleep with a smile on my face. Ikuto loves me. He loves me. And I love him.
So that's the end of chapter 11! Ikuto and Amu finally together, heh? I bet you guys were waiting for this for so long! Sry again for the long wait! You guys deserve this chapter! If you guys didn't know, the was 3 italic lines, 'Wrap me in your jacket', 'And kiss me, underneath the moonlight' and 'And lay me in your bed'. Those are lines from the song in the previous chapter, 'Tattooed Hearts' by Ariana Grande. Sry if there is any mistakes and also for all the random author's note in the story! REVIEW! REVIEW! It motivates me to write! :)
