~Normal POV~

"I am never sitting on the bus with you again," Ikuto grumbled, folding his arms and leaning his head against the window pane.

"I like to think that my company is quite pleasant to a lot of people," Amu said pouting.

"Oh cause poking me for half an hour is pleasant to a lot of people,"

"That's because you're being boring and not talking to me,"

"Not only that but you keep on talking about really really irrelevant things,"

"Only since you weren't talking so I had to come up with the subjects,"

"… so wanting to find out how an octopus has sexual intercourse is a good opening topic?" Ikuto said snorting.

"Yeah! And that reminds me, how the fuck does a snail mate? Or a whale, fuckity fuck, how does a whale mate? They're freaking huge,"

"Just stop talking Amu,"

"But you're being so boring and not interacting with me. The least we could do is like make out,"

"Maybe there's a reason for not wanting to talk to you. Oh wait, there is. It's because you're annoying and I don't like you,"

"I think you've enjoyed my company," she whispered, suddenly close, trailing her fingers up and down his arm. "I think you've enjoyed my company a lot,"

"Dammit Amu get off," his said, the slight tremble in his voice going unnoticeable by Amu. She smirked before snuggling up to him.

"Mmmm, I don't think I will,"

"THEEEE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND, ROUND AND RO-" a loud voice screamed before it was muffled by a hand. Ikuto turned his head to see Yaya's hand against Kairi's mouth as she scolded him for his actions.

"I'm going to murder that little prick," Nagihiko said, his seat in front of Ikuto's. Nagihiko unbuckled his seat and attempted to get up but Rima was quick to yank him back down again.

"That's not very nice," she disciplined.

"His voice isn't very nice but we still have to listen to it, don't we?"

The short blonde sighed before unplugging an earphone and shoving it in Nagihiko's ear.

"Oi, not so hard," he said wincing at the pain.

"Now you don't have to listen to his voice," Rima replied, ignoring his last comment. Nagihiko frowned but continued to remain silent as he listened to the music.

"That's cheating!" Utau yelled, as she swatted Kukai on the arm. Ikuto turned his head once again, looking at their row to see what all the commotion was about.

"How is that cheating?"

"You were practically flirting with her. That one doesn't count,"

"The rules simply stated that whoever got the most people to smile at them, wins. There were no rules about how to get them to smile," Kukai argued. Utau shrugged her shoulders.

"Fine," she said simply. Kukai raised an eyebrow. She wouldn't give up that easily….would she?

His assumptions were confirmed when she started to lift her shirt up.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Kukai shouted, grabbing her shirt and pulling it back down.

"That dude over there smiled at me, another point for me," she said triumphantly. Kukai ignored her and glared at the guy in the car who had smiled at her and winked at her. Burning rage was building up inside of Kukai as he closed his hands in fists as the guy stared back smugly.

Then Kukai flipped him the bird.

Utau started laughing. "Hey, why are you giving him the rude finger,"

"Because he seemed like an arrogant douchebag,"

"I don't think he was, but that doesn't matter, I still won the point,"

"No, that doesn't count," Kukai said bluntly. "You can't just go lifting your shirt, just to get a reaction from people,"

"But you previously stated that we just had to get the person to smile," Utau said haughtily. Kukai shifted uncomfortably, not able to come up with a good response considering she was right.

"I don't want to play anymore," he said instead.

Utau grinned, and chuckled to herself some more.

"You know, I wasn't actually going to lift my shirt up if that makes you feel any better," she said after a while of silence.

Kukai sighed. "I know you weren't,"

He was just so angry about how that guy looked at her. He could feel himself getting worked up about it again and willed himself to calm down. He didn't even know why he was mad. There was no way he was jealous….

Alright, maybe just a little bit.

Ikuto realised Amu had been quiet for quite a while and glanced to see her lying on his arm with her eyes closed. He sighed before pulling her closer so she wouldn't fall off. She mumbled slightly at the movement but snuggled up to him and returned to a peaceful slumber.

He tried not to smile as he glanced at her calm face. He brushed the hair out of her face, ignoring the sparks he felt as he did it.

Soon he started to drift off, his eyes closing as he rested his head on top of Amu's.

~Yoru's POV~

"What are you doing?" she asked for the third time.

I growled but didn't respond to her, continuing to draw in my artbook.

Poke.

"Hey" Poke poke. "I asked what you were doing," Poke

"I heard you," I said, trying to remain calm as she continued to poke me in the arm.

"Then why won't you answer the question?"

"Because it's distracting,"

"Oh," she said, halting the pokes. I sighed in relief and continued to draw until I felt a warm breath down my neck.

"What the fuck?" I yelled, scooting to the edge of my seat to get as far away from Miki who was smirking.

"Just lookin' at what you were drawing," she said shrugging carelessly.

"Well don't, can't you just sleep or something and why the fuck do you like breathing down my neck all the time?" I asked, now a little irritated.

"Nah, I get bus sick and you're reactions are cute,"

I looked at her bluntly.

"Well, okay, I don't really get car sick. I just find it more interesting talking to you,"

"How am I interesting? I don't even do anything,"

"Exactly,"

I gave a confused look at her. "Uh, what?"

"Nothing," she said sighing before a smirk played on her face. "Draw me,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"I don't really want to,"

"Well I want you to,"

"I'm not that good of a drawer,' I confessed.

She rolled her eyes. "Right,"

"No, seriously,"

"Mhmm, just do it,"

I sighed. Talking to her was tiring.

"If I do it, will you please be quiet?"

She nodded.

"Fine, whatever. Just stay still,"

~Amu's POV~

Woah, what's on top of my head? My eyes were still shut as I tried to get into a comfortable position to continue sleeping. I leaned closer to whatever I was hugging before my eyes snapped open.

Who the fuck was I hug-

Oh. Kidding. Ikuto.

I stayed as still as possible before gently lifting his head with my hands and placing him on my shoulder. I looked out the window to already see that the sun was setting. I glanced at my watch.

I had been sleeping for four hours. We only had an hour left before arriving at our destination. I looked in Rima's direction to see she had fallen asleep on Nagihiko's shoulder. Weird thing was though, was that he was making no attempt to push her off. I smiled to myself before looking at Yaya to see Kairi curled up with his head lying on her lap as he slept soundly as well. Yaya was still awake, her eyes glued to her book but every now and again, she would peek down to make sure he was alright. I felt Ikuto start to stir beside me.

"Hey sleepy head," I acknowledged as he lifted his head and glanced confusingly around at his surroundings.

He grunted back.

"Aww, is my baby not in a good mood?" I teased.

"Oh yeah, Ikuto isn't a morning person. He doesn't like waking up at all," Kukai said in a hushed tone, trying not to wake Utau who had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

I laughed slightly and gave Ikuto a quick peck on the cheek, ignoring how tingly my lips felt when they made contact with his cheek.

"That should brighten your mood," I said happily, watching his eyes widen.

"No. I think that made my mood worse," he muttered, rubbing his eyes tiredly. I smirked, he didn't even scold me for kissing him. Maybe next time I should go for the lips.

"We're here!" the teacher announced loudly, waking everyone up. The bus came to a halt and we all clambered out. Okay so maybe we arrived earlier then I thought we would.

I looked around. We were in the middle of the forest. There were several trails that went in all different directions and if I squinted hard enough, I could see a lake in the not so far distance. It was generally quite a peaceful place and didn't seem too bad. I mean, there didn't seem to be a crap load of bugs so I think I was okay.

We got into groups of four to set up our tents- of course boys had to go with boys and girls had to go with girls.

Rima, Yaya, Utau and I heading off, incidentally putting up our tents near the boys.

Totally not my idea.

….Okay so a little bit of my idea.

And technically, I didn't really help put up the tent that I was sharing with the girls. Neither did Rima or Yaya.

That right, Utau and Kukai had a competition with who could put up the tent, the fastest. It was a tie which made both competitors quite grumpy. Whilst they had set up their tents, Nagihiko had sat on one of the wooden benches and slept while Rima sat next to him, taking pictures of the scenery….and of his sleeping face. Kind of creepy but hey, I've done weirder things. Yaya tried to read but Kairi made her go 'exploring' with him. Ikuto and I were unfortunately stuck with Utau and Kukai because they needed witnesses to see who would win. Fortunately, Ikuto didn't give a rat's ass about that and just talked to me instead.

Surprising, I know.

I really think he's starting to like me.

Just not in the way I wanted him to.

Miki and her class went somewhere else for their school trip and I'm pretty sure their trip was longer than ours.

"So Ikuto, what are we going to talk about?"

"Well to be honest I just wanted to talk to you because it was better than watching those two idiots," he said shaking his head at Utau and Kukai as they yelled at each other.

I placed a hand over my heart. "Ouch,"

He rolled his eyes before running his right hand through his hair which caught my attention immediately.

"Hey, what did you say you did with that ring again?" I asked smirking. He froze before shrugging carelessly.

"I put it in my locker,"

"I thought you said before that it was a drawer,"

His shoulders stiffened before laughing nervously.

"Yeah, drawer, locker, same thing,"

"Not really,"

"I probably lost it then,"

I raised my eyebrow. "Yeah, I think you lost it somewhere on your right finger,"

He sighed. "When did you find out?"

"When you ran your fingers through your hair," I said laughing at his defeated expression. "Which was quite hot by the way,"

"I forgot to take it off," he defended.

"Mhmm, sure you did,"

"HEY A-AMU! D-did you want us to put up your tent for you?" Tadase said running up to us, ignoring Ikuto completely.

"No it's alright, Utau's doing it but thanks," I said. His face fell before he looked hopeful again.

"Oh that's okay! Did you want some company instead?"

I clenched my jaw, trying not to get irritated at his clinginess. "It's okay, Ikuto's company is just fine. Maybe next time?"

He glanced at Ikuto as if just realising he was just there. He may or may not have glared at Ikuto but it was gone before I could clarify anything.

"Oh, didn't see you there Ikuto! Okay, I'll um, talk to you later?" he said hopefully. I nodded before waving goodbye to him. He looked reluctantly back at us as if hoping one of us would ask him to stay.

"Done!" Utau and Kukai said at the same time.

"I was done first," Kukai muttered.

Utau shook her head furiously. "No, I was,"

They both turned their heads to us. "Who won first?!"

"U-uh, u-um," Ikuto stuttered. Clearly, he did not like peer pressure.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Was a tie,"

Utau gasped melodramatically. "Amu, how could you? I thought we were best friends,"

"And it wasn't a tie," Kukai said, backing her up. He turned to Ikuto. "What's your opinion?"

"I agree with what Amu said?" he said meekly, his voice trailing off as Kukai shot him daggers.

"Y-your both winners in my books?' Ikuto said trying again but still receiving a glare from both competitors. I chuckled at his sad attempts.

"Just toss a coin or something," I said, finally deciding to help him out. They shook their heads furiously.

"Nope, that's not a fair way to decide," Utau said, Kukai nodding beside her in agreement. Ikuto rolled his eyes before sharing a look with me.

"Hey guys dinner! HURRY UP SO THEN WE CAN HAVE DESSERT. WHICH IS MARSHMALLOWS BY THE WAY," Kairi screamed, rushing over to the camp fire.

I quickly grabbed Ikuto's hand and dragged him away from the two idiotic people who were our best friends, and sat him down next to me near the very nice looking fire. The sky hand turned a bluish purple, hinting of the night that was about to fall upon us.

Ikuto had one leg stretched out and the other pulled up with his arm resting on it.

An extremely hot position.

"So what's for dinner?" he asked, directing his question to Yaya and Kairi, who had already started to make the food.

"Spaghetti," Kairi said absentmindedly, too focused on the boiling pot in front of him.

"Kairi, not too close, you're going to hurt yourself," Yaya warned him, pulling him back slightly. Yaya continued stirring the contents, not noticing the look of awe Kairi was giving her.

"Mmm something smells good," Rima said, appearing beside me with Nagihiko who looked grumpy as hell.

"What's with that grouchy looking potato beside you Rima?" Ikuto asked winking at her as Nagihiko gave him a glare.

"Why you litt-" Nagihiko started.

"I had to wake him up so he's still a little moody," she replied cutting him off.

"Kairi for the last time, please stop eating the non-cooked spaghetti and just wait," Yaya said smacking his hand away from the food.

Kari pouted making Nagihiko snicker. By the time Utau and Kukai, sat down, dinner was ready to be eaten. We didn't really talk much, too busy in shoving our faces with spaghetti and when we had finished, the night had gotten quite cold. Rima and Nagihiko offered to do the dishes, allowing the rest of us to do whatever till curfew time.

Well, Rima suggested her and Nagihiko would do it, making Nagihiko protest quite loudly.

Kairi dragged Yaya to go get the marshmallows while Kukai and Utau wandered off since they were too full to eat anymore. Ikuto and I talked quietly amongst ourselves about random things. It was nice considering he didn't seemed to mind the conversation. Well, mainly without too much bickering.

"I didn't know that you were capable of managing a decent conversation," Ikuto said, laughing when I frowned. "It's a compliment Amu,"

"Your face is a compliment,"

He laughed some more. "That was still a compliment,"

I grumbled before shivering at the cold air that was surrounding us.

"I'm cold Ikuto," I whined, snuggling up to him.

He shoved at me, trying to get me off. Too bad he pushes like a sissy, either that or he just didn't want to hurt me. I think it was the latter. Actually I'm hoping it was the latter.

"Go to the fire then,"

"But your body heat is much hotter,"

"…not really,"

"Uh, it's more comfortable?" I said hopefully.

"Amu," he said, his voice firm.

"Come on, all friends do this sort of thing,"

He raised his eyes sceptically.

"They do!"

"Fine," he said. I looked at him suspiciously, he doesn't normally give up this easily. My assumption was correct.

"Hey, Tadase. Get your ass over here," he yelled.

Oh shit.

"Yeah?" Tadase said running over to us, flickering his eyes to me excitedly.

"Amu's cold, can you hug her to keep her warm because apparently all friends do that," Ikuto said monotonously. Tadase's eyes lit up the way a kid does when it's Christmas.

"OKAY!" he practically screamed. Fortunately that brought the attention of Kei who quickly scurried over as well.

"Dude, why are you so excit- OH HI AMU!"

"I get to hug Amu," Tadase said smugly at him.

"Ooooh do I get to hug her as well?"

"Sure, the more the merrier," Ikuto said, as he smirked at my paling face.

Now don't get me wrong, I love my fan club. I know it's sort of egotistical to even have one but hey, they were the ones who made it, not me. But as much as I like them, they can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. I racked my brain, trying to think a way out of this.

"Um actually I'm quite warm now but thanks for the sweet gesture," I said giving them a smile.

"Nononono, it's actually really cold and it doesn't look like you're wearing enough clothes," Tadase said shaking his head so much that it looked like it was about to fly off. Kei nodded in agreement.

My face fell. What the fuck am I going to do?

"Actually Amu's feeling pretty tired I think, so maybe you guys won't be able to hug her tonight," Ikuto said, making me nod quickly in agreement.

The two fan boy's shoulders fell.

I shot to my feet. "Damn, sorry boys, maybe next time,"

I grabbed Ikuto and dragged him away from the now sulking boys.

"Dammit Ikuto I swear I'm going to kill you," I muttered as he chuckled.

"At least I got you out of it,"

"Yeah but not being getting me into it,"

"You should have seen your face though,"

"Shut it,"

This made him chuckle even more. He didn't even stop until we reached our tents.

Our tents were kind of secluded from everyone else, so everything was really quiet. The rest of the group were still at the camp fire, taking their sweet time to get back here. There was no lights except the dim glow of the moon which shone brightly above and the glow from the fire that was pretty far away. I was about to comment on the quiet scenery but when I looked at him, he was already halfway into his tent.

My heart fell, we were actually going to sleep? I thought he was just messing. What hurt even more was that he didn't even say goodnight or something. I know I sound like a clingy bitch but it's just common manners right? I turned around to walk to my tent before I heard his voice again as he poked his head out.

"Aren't you gonna come in?" he asked, a boyish grin appearing on his face.

My mood suddenly lifted just as fast as it left as I smirked at him. "Sure, although I've never had sex in a tent befor-"

"Never mind, I'm sleepy now," he said teasingly, slowly staring to zip the tent up.

I laughed, quickly stepping in his cosy tent before he could change his mind. It was bigger than I thought it'd be. Ikuto had a torch in his hand so that we could see and there were already four sleeping bags placed out. He lay his body out on his and then nodded his head to the opposite side. "You can sit there,"

"Naw, don't you want me to sit next to you?" I teased sitting down cross-legged at where he told me to sit.

"No, I don't want girl cooties," he joked.

I sighed dramatically. "Your loss,"

"Mhmm, sure, if you say so,"

Silence soon filled the tent. Ikuto had his eyes shut, as if he was taking it all in. I grinned to myself, he always makes it too easy. Being the stealthy ass ninja I was, I slowly crept over, making sure not to make any sudden movements. I moved until I was an inch away from his face. Then I waited.

He has fucking flawless skin. Who the fuck has flawless skin?

I watched his lips slowly turn up into a sly grin. I raised an eyebrow, why was he grin-

Before my thoughts could continue, his eyes snapped opened and in one swift motion he flung me down onto the sleeping bag. He grabbed both my arms and pinned them on either side of my head, leaving me breathless.

"You should really work on your stealth skills," he said, his voice slightly out of breath as well.

My heart was thumping hard as I tried to comprehend what just happened.

It was probably pounding due to the sudden adrenaline I had which made my heart beat so fast. That was it…I think.

I tried not to be too mesmerised by how some of his hair fell in front of his face but not too much to hide his eyes. Fucking good eyes, might I add.

His rough hands felt so nice against my arms and the heat that radiated off his body, was just as hot as his physical appearance.

So you can bet it was really really really hot.

~Normal POV~

Ikuto waited for her to respond, his eyes wandering over her face. Her eyes were wide, dilated and her lips were slightly parted, just waiting to be kissed. Her chest heaved up and down as she took deep breaths and Ikuto couldn't help but notice how perfectly their bodies fit together. The atmosphere was no longer playful, it was tense instead. The chemistry between the two was undeniable now and Ikuto had a sudden desire to kiss her soft and inviting lips. Not knowing what came over him, he started to lean down as if he had no control over his body and his mind has just switched off.

There were no warning bells going off in his head as he went closer.

Closer and closer and close-

The loud sound of a zip and then the tent entrance opening, didn't go noticed by Ikuto. Instead he was too busy on a mission, still leaning down, till they were an inch apart.

What did go noticed by Ikuto was the sudden light that was shined down on him as if he got caught for something he shouldn't be doing. He squinted and looked back up, finally coming to his senses.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" Nagihiko said, smirking down at them. "Such a compromising position, don't you think Kukai?"

"Yeah, are we disturbing you two horny little bunnies?" Kukai said snickering.

"AHH, are we intruding?" Kairi said, slapping his hands over his eyes.

Ikuto glanced down and realised what it looked like- which to be fair, was kind of what it looked like- before jumping off her and coughing awkwardly.

"I fell?" he said, his statement coming out more like a question.

Amu on the other hand huffed annoyingly, that boy was going to be the death of her. Her heart hadn't slowed down and for some reason, she had so so sooo wanted Ikuto to kiss her.

Same for Ikuto except his mind was still in denial. The warning bells were now starting to ring.

"Yep, you fell onto Amu and then accidentally started making out?" Kukai said knowingly making Ikuto roll his eyes not bothering to make a response. He knew he'd just end up making it worse and to be fair, he knew Kukai was just messing with him.

"I guess this is my queue to leave, see you in the morning boys," Amu said winking at them before leaving as if nothing happened. Which was true. Kind of. She gave Ikuto one more look before leaving.

The other boys got inside before Kukai made a face. "Dude, the room is still full of so much sexual tension,"

Ikuto rolled his eyes once more, getting his pillow and throwing it at the Kukai's head.

"Aww is Ikuto grumpy because he didn't get enough smoochey-smoochey time?" Kukai said, making kissing noises. Nagihiko chuckled, obviously enjoying this a great deal.

"Dude there was no 'smoochey-smoochey' time," Ikuto said, his tone irritated. He mentally face-palmed himself- he couldn't believe he had just said smoochey-smoochey.

"So you're grumpy 'cause you didn't get to make-out with her?" Nagihiko clarified.

"Yes. Wait what, no I mean- crap, shit fuck. I mean no," Ikuto said, trying to remain cool.

The two other boys snickered.

"Well, I'm just glad, you guys weren't doing the nasty. That'd be a gross site to walk in on," Kairi said thoughtfully, plonking on his sleeping bag.

Ikuto groaned, rubbing his face with his hands. "Give me my pillow Kukai,"

"Nu uh, you gave it to me man. You aren't getting it back," Kukai taunted. Ikuto sighed. He should've seen that coming.

"You guys are the fucking worst. I'm gonna go to bed now," he said wearily, snatching the pillow out of Kukai's grasp and turning his back to them to get some sleep. "Night you losers,"

"Night!" they all chorused back chirpily, dampening Ikuto's mood further.

The next morning, Ikuto had the pleasure of waking up to Kairi screaming happily before jumping on the poor boy to wake him up.

"Wake up wake up wake up!"

"Dude, I'm up I'm up I'm up," Ikuto groaned, opening one eye to look at the very excited looking boy. Ikuto wanted to smash his head in. "What time is it?"

"Uh 5:30,"

Ikuto moaned running over to try and tune him out. "Dude, it's way too early for that,"

"Nope, everyone has to get up to see the cool looking sunrise," Kairi said, jumping on Iuto again to try and make him more awake.

Not a sound came from Ikuto.

Kairi huffed a breath of annoyance, folding his arms childishly as he pouted.

"I'll go get Amu" Kairi warned.

Ikuto peeked an eye open again to see a cheeky smile playing on the kid-like teenager.

"You wouldn't dare,"

"I would,"

Ikuto sighed glaring at Kairi before shoving him off and sitting up. He grabbed a jumper and headed out, meeting the chilly morning. He shivered, rubbing his arms to get some kind of warmth.

"Ha, that wasn't too hard was it? Kairi said popping up beside him. Ikuto grunted in response, looking around to see other people sleepily getting out of their tents.

"You know, to be fair, I didn't want to wake you up but I lost the game so I had to," Kairi continued. The now half-awake blue head narrowed his eyes.

"What game?"

"Scissors, paper, rock. None of use wanted to wake you up so we decided to play a game but I kind of lost," Kairi said shrugging and smiling sheepishly.

"Pfft, I can wake up myself you know" Ikuto retorted.

"Yeah. Sure you can,"

"Morning Ikuto. You look like a chimpanzees butt this morning," Kukai said walking up to him and smiling cheerfully.

"Thanks, I tried to look like you today," Ikuto said drily making Kairi burst into a fit of giggles.

"Ah, so sweet and considerate Ikuto, it's a wonder that you don't have a girlfriend yet," Kukai said, sighing contentedly and putting an arm around Kairi's and Ikuto's shoulder.

He started walking, forcing them along till they reached the rest of the group who were all huddled around the newly lit fire with some hot cocoa in their hands.

"Why are we up so early anyway?" the boys heard Utau said as they walked up.

"To see the sunrise," Yaya responded. She looked at the three boys and smiled in acknowledgment before nodding at the thermos to indicate there was some hot chocolate in there. Kairi sprinted over to where the bottle was, making Yaya sighed and walk over. She took the bottle from Kairi's hands making him frown.

"What are you doing?"

"You're too hyper, I'm scared you'll spill this on your hands and since it's really hot, I don't want you to burn yourself," she explained, delicately plucking the cup from his hands. Kairi said nothing in response, instead blushing bashfully and looking down at his feet. She poured three cups before handing one to Kairi, and taking the other two to Ikuto and Kukai. They murmured a word of thanks before taking a sip and sighing in content.

"This is good," Kukai commented. Ikuto murmured in agreement.

"Yeah whatever Rima makes is always good," Utau said, her hands hugging the mug to provide some warmth to her nearly frozen fingers.

"Woah you made this?" Ikuto said, the tone in his voice making it obvious he was impressed.

Rima nodded shyly, looking down at her twiddling fingers.

"Aww look at you, you shy little thing," Kukai teased winking at her. "It's great Rima,"

"Thanks," she said looking at the ground still.

"It's too sweet," Nagihiko spoke up. Rima's demeanour suddenly changed as she whacked him in the head.

"Ow!"

"Serves you right," she muttered, blowing the blonde wisps of hair that had fallen in front of her face.

"I didn't say it was bad. I just said it was too sweet," he grumbled, rubbing the spot where she abused him.

"Oh I know I'm sweet, gee thanks guys," Amu said suddenly appearing next to them, a smirk on her very pretty face.

"The hot cocoa, not you, you narcissistic pervert," Ikuto answered, rolling his eyes playfully. "Morning by the way,"

~Ikuto's POV~

What the hell man, she even looks good first thing in the morning.

I cursed myself for even thinking that.

"Morning sexy," she said winking at me as she poured herself a cup of heavenly goodness.

She seated herself snuggly beside me and I couldn't be stuffed to argue. Way too early in the morning for that. We were facing a clear view of the sky, it already being a pinkish yellow glow and a hint of the sun started to come up.

I rolled my shoulders back and stretched my back and taking a deep breath of the morning air. A cold hand suddenly grabbed my right hand, making me jump and nearly spilling my cup of hot chocolate.

"Shit Amu, what the hell?" I yelled, balancing the cup so that barely nothing spilled out. I placed in further away from us to avoid any more spillage.

"Sorry, it's just your hand is so fucking warm," she said sheepishly, grabbing my other hand and placing them both on her cheeks and sighing in content. I was about to yank them back but I noticed her body was legit shaking. She shivered again and my hands could even feel how cold her face was. I exhaled a deep breath before gently pulling away and grabbing both her hands. She raised an eyebrow but remained in silenced as I slowly started to rub her hands with mine, hoping to make her a little warmer.

"You know, I swear you're always warm. You're like a walking fire," Amu noted. Her eyes lit up. "And not only that but you're also hot in your appearance as well,"

"Amu, did I ever tell you that you're much prettier when you don't talk?" I muttered.

"Awww you think I'm pretty?"

"No I think you're pretty when you're quiet,"

"Pfft same thing,"

"Not really,"

I stopped rubbing her hands and put mine back in my pocket. The loss of contact made my hands feel cold, regardless of the warmth my pockets were providing.

"Hey why did you stop?" she whined, trying to pull my hands back out. "It felt so nice,"

I laughed. "Your hands are just as warm as mine now though,"

"Doesn't mean I wanted you to stop,"

"Mhm, my hands were getting tired,"

"Oh bullshit, come on take them out," she complained. Before I could retort, the group hushed us to be quiet as we saw the sun slowly start to go up and let me tell you, it is so much better than what pictures show you.

Everyone stared in awe and even Amu had stopped tugging, instead looking at the beautiful sight in front of us. My heart was pounding furiously, my senses wide awake now, and it felt as though a crap load of adrenaline was pumped into my veins.

But the weird thing is…. I wasn't staring at the sunrise. I mean sure it was beautiful, but my eyes were on the pink haired girl sitting beside me. Her eyes were wide, a faint rosy blush on her face from the coldness and the glow from the sun made her look so much more beautiful.

And as corny as this sounds, she was prettier than any other sunrise I had ever seen.

I so wanted to bash my head in for even thinking that.

My heart was beating faster at the thought and I quickly got a hold of myself.

What the hell was wrong with me?

It's okay to think she's pretty, you think her friends are pretty as well. It doesn't actually mean you like her.

I sighed in relief at the reassuring voice inside my head. I mean it's okay to think that your friends aren't bad looking.

Nah mate, you fucking have a crush on her.

I frowned, I didn't like that voice inside of my head.

I sighed finally tearing my eyes from her and staring at the sunrise.

I am so fucked.

Jennifer: So yeah, sorry that there wasn't much of the bus trip. I was planning to make it really detailed but then I'm kind of thinking that this whole trip will take a few chapters so I didn't want to drag it on too much, so I decided to briefly skim over it…kind of hahaha if you wanted more detail I can add a bonus chapter but yeah it doesn't really matter. Would you guys like it if I updated whenever I finished a chapter or would you prefer me to update on a specific day. Right now, I'm usually updating on a Saturday but I can do whatever you guys prefer. Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed it and feel free to review, point out any errors or what you didn't like etc. also any suggestions or situations you'd like me to place them in, feel free to let me know hahaha hope you guys are all safe and have a lovely day xx
