"Amu.."

"Ikuto..."

We just stood there, staring at each other with wide eyes for I don't know how long.

Amu's POV

"You're late." he finally said, after all the staring. His expression was emotionless when he said it.

"Uh..yeah, I know." I answered. He walked towards me, not looking at all cold like he did a while ago.

"Why?" he asked, once he was close enough to even wrap his arms around me. The moonlight was shining on his features, and it looked like he was an angel. A dark angel with his expression.

"Uh...well, short or full story?" I asked, trying not to look him in the face. Whenever I would, my heart would start beating faster, and my cheeks would heat up. Especially if he was serious like he is now.

"I want the full story." he said, his voice full of that something again.

"Well, I dressed up as you can see," I motioned to my dress and hair, but his eyes never left my face, not even to see what I was wearing.

"-and I had time to spare. So, I decided that I would take a cat nap, and I guess, it turned out to be a three hour sleep, which actually sucks since I'm...late." I explained. His features softened a bit. But, only a bit. Nobody else would've noticed it. I stared straight ahead, and that straight ahead was his chest.

"I thought you ditched me." he answered so quietly that I almost thought I didn't hear right. But, I did. As I looked back up, I noticed the little tightening of the corner of his eyes; the hard set of the jaw. I don't know how I can notice these things, especially with him.

"I wouldn't have ditched you.." I muttered, shocked at myself. Why did I even say that? It just like, spilled out. My eyes immediately tightened, and I put my hands to my mouth. He smirked at my reaction. [A/N: Well, I don't know if all of you have watched Twilight or not, I know I have. 13 times, I might add. I've got every line memorized. XD But, anyway, back to my point. You know how Edward had that smile in the movie when he almost taught Bella how to dance in his room, with that smile/smirk? That's exactly how it looks now. ^^]

"Well, since your here, would you mind dancing with me?" he asked, suddenly changing the subject with still a smirk on his features. Before I had a chance to answer, his hand held mine and his arm was already snaked across my waist in a second. I was probably blushing as red as a red rose.

"Y-Yeah, but the problem i-is that I c-c-can't d-d-dance." I stuttered. He actually gave a reassuring. I had to blink a couple times – with still my blush intact – to see if I was seeing right or not.

"That's okay. I can teach you." he spoke so...huskily, I almost thought it was hot. Almost. I said almost. Suddenly, he placed his feet on mine, and surprisingly, I kept my mouth shut about it. I knew it was something you taught little kids to know how to waltz. Not that I objected. I never thought dancing was required in life. I guess it was if you had a boyfriend or wanted to get married with someone. I looked towards our school gym.

"Neh, Ikuto?" I whispered, suddenly all memories from before rushing into my head.

"Hmm?" he asked, probably so involved his own world.

"Didn't it seem like a lifetime ago when...I was going out with Kukai?" I asked. It was harder than I thought to get those words out. I felt his arms tighten around me, and felt someone's hair by my neck. I snapped my head back towards him only to find his head burrowed in my neck and I did the only thing I could ever do in a situation like this. I blushed.

"H-H-Hey Ikuto! W-W-What are you d-d-d-doing?" I stuttered.

"Shh. Let me stay like this for a second."

But, did I listen? No. I quickly pulled away, my hand on my neck. I could tell my face was on fire.

"I'm sorry. I just-" I tried to explain and ended up with my mouth not finding the words to talk anymore. Almost like it was meant to be, a smirk appeared on his face.

"Aww, Amu-koi, I was enjoying that very much!" he whined, mockingly. I blinked in surprise. What up with the sudden mood swing? Is he on his period? I chuckled. His smirk widened.

"What? Are you thinking about me?"

I suddenly just, let it out. Exactly what I was thinking.

"No! I was just thinking that you just had a mood swing and I was thinking that you might be on your period!" I laughed, clutching my sides. His smirk widened even more. Dang, how long can his smirk be!

"Well, that must mean your on your period. And you know that is an awesome time to make babies." he chuckled so loud that it echoed through the parking lot. My laugh was silenced.

"...OH MY GOD, IKUTO! I AM NOT SLEEPING WITH YOU! E-V-E-R!" I screamed. I started walking to turn the other way, and suddenly a hand grabbed my wrist.

"I was kidding, Amu." and he was still chuckling. Okay, I guess that proved that he was joking.

"Can we go back home now?" I asked, except it sounded like whining. Which it probably was.

"'Kay. Let's go."

And we started walking back to Ikuto's Lexus. I still can't get over the fact that he has a Lexus.

At Ikuto's Apartment

Regular POV

Ikuto opened the apartment door, and went straight to his bedroom, locking the door. Amu couldn't help but feel sad that she was alone. Amu was just about to sit on the couch when he came out of his bedroom, with his hair a mess, his coat off, his vest totally unbuttoned and his shirt half way unbuttoned. Her facial expression showed no care whats so ever but her mind was going ballistic. He sat beside her, arms crossed, and yawned.

"God, wasn't today a long day?" he asked, while his eyes was closed.

"Mm-hm." she couldn't say a word. She wouldn't. She couldn't. She would stutter and a blush would appear on her cheeks. He would know she was admiring him. But, she couldn't help the urge to look at him. His clear skin, his muscular arms, his messy hair that she felt the urge to mess with, and last but not least, his indigo colored eyes that once they filled your vision, it would feel like you fell in love with the darkness. But, she had to look away.

"Neh, Amu?"

Her immediate reflex was to look at him, and apparently she hadn't known his face was to close to his face, causing them to have a slight brush against the lips. Amu's heart sped, but Ikuto seemed like he hadn't even noticed.

"You know how to cook right? Cook me..a bento." he asked. Amu looked at him.

"Ikuto. It's like midnight, and bentos are usually not eaten at this time." she said. Ikuto yawned.

"What are you, my mother? Go and make me one." he commanded. She crossed her arms and pouted.

"No."

"Go."

"No."

"Go."

"No!"

"Go."

"N-O means NO, for heaven's sake!"

"Well, G-O means GO, for cooking's sake."

"You don't really talk loud, do you?" she asked; he merely just shook his head. She sighed.

"Fine.."

She got up and walked to the kitchen. She got out the rice, the seaweed wrap, and the rice cooker. She poured the rice in a pan, washed it out, and let the water pour out. She hadn't noticed that Ikuto was leaning against the kitchen door way, his face full of contentment that she was making it right. At least he thought. Later, she made the rice into a sort of ball and placed in the cooker. She set the timer and was about to walk out when she accidentally bumped into the Ikuto that was standing at the corner of the kitchen. Amu frowned.

He seems off again, she thought.

"Hey, Ikuto? Are you okay? You seem a bit off like your usual self." she said. Ikuto blinked and looked at her in true surprise. He hadn't noticed that he was acting weird. He was so full of his thoughts that he didn't even smirk and said something like, "Oh, interested, are we?".

"I guess I'm just tired of standing out in the rain waiting for someone." Amu's eye twitched. She mentally calmed herself.

"Wow, who knew once your tired that you don't act perverted.." she muttered.

"Well, that's just how I am. Get the full package or get nothing." he said. Amu looked at him questioningly.

"Hey, what about the bento?" Amu asked, once she remembered what she was making.

"Put it in the fridge or whatever. I'll eat it in the morning. Promise." he said, and started walking to his bedroom. Amu growled, but kept quiet. She took the rice balls out of the cooker and placed the seaweed around it and placed it in the fridge. After that, she stomped after Ikuto.

"Hey! Where am I-" she stopped mid-short once she found Ikuto already asleep on the bed.

Wow, he really is tired, Amu thought. She lied down on the rug next to the bed, and leaned against his bed frame.

Tsk, this is not comfortable, she thought. But, she tried to fall asleep anyway. She wasn't going to sleep with him, and she wasn't going to wake him up after his tiring day. Sooner or later she had to fall asleep, anyway. Amu sat there, thinking about her life when Ikuto entered. Her eyes widened.

By the way I'm acting, Amu thought, it seems like I was flirting with him!

She wasn't aiming for that. Not at all. Suddenly, she forced her mind to go blank. All she thought was, "Sleep, sleep, go to sleep, sleep.." and then, almost as if her body listened to her, she fell asleep.


Okay, I know it was a short chappie, but I liked it. Plus, I'm gonna be busy this week, so I had to finish it today. Next chapter is going to be a surprise. Oh and I have a surprise! Have any of you heard of Arabic? Well, theres this other language I speak – Urdu, not as much known as Arabic, but it's still a language – and I'm learning to write it! Pshyeah! I rock!
