Hey guys, I think this may be the last chapter- I haven't decided yet, but if I do post again it probably won't be for a while. This story was only ever meant to be a fluff thing and it wasn't even meant to go this long. Thanks for your amazing support, ily babes.
Although it was the weekend you were at school, that annoyed you- a lot. There was some market on at school and even though your body was sore, Ikuto decided that you should get out of the house- hence the market. The both of you walked slowly, and went to every store. The stalls weren't overly interesting, but it was nice for you to spend time with Ikuto, you loved his company. Neither of you talked about what he had said the two nights earlier and for the first time you were glad your parents weren't really around- they would freak if they saw how bruised you were. Part of you hated Utau for what she had done, but she had been so desperate for Ikuto's attention, you also felt sorry for her. Mainly you were confused, and all of your emotions were swirling and tangling and nothing was simple anymore.
"I'm bored, Ikuto, we should go get something to eat and go home." Mai and Yoru were floating off in the distance, but neither you or Ikuto were worried about losing them. He nodded and took your hand leading you through the crowd, you weren't embarrassed anymore but you were also confused about what was happening between you and Ikuto, you didn't want to bring it up though- maybe you were just imagining things.
The walk was relatively short and Ikuto held your hand the entire way there, but whether or not it was because he wanted to or he was making sure you kept up you didn't know. Ikuto abruptly turned into a shop, you didn't notice in time and ended up stumbling inside as Ikuto pulled you along. It was a small noodle bar and you noticed the woman at the registers eyes lit up with recognition when you came in.
"Hey Akemi, two lots of the usual." Ikuto said sitting down in the last booth, you joined and sat awkwardly. The food took a while to arrive, but that was okay as you and Ikuto chatted casually. When the food finally arrived the both of you stopped talking and started stuffing your faces.
When you and Ikuto got back home you both sat on the couch and played video games, it was some odd racing game that Ikuto swore by. Despite your playful grumbling about losing; you were really enjoying yourself, and you could tell Ikuto was as well.
"I'll go grab some chips, no cheating!" You said laughing, although you weren't watching were you were going and tripped over the cord and landed on Ikuto. You both let out grunts of pain and you looked up at Ikuto, your cheeks bright red.
"Sorry." You said softly.
"That's okay, I will always catch you." He said with a massive smirk and leaning down to peck your forehead, you moved at the last minute and his lips crashed into yours. Weeks of holding back came over the both of you and it was almost looked like your lips were wrestling. You pulled away for breath, and couldn't stop the grin on your face. His face was full of exhilaration and there was a a mischievous glint to his eyes.
"I wasn't lying, I do love you. I don't think I've ever loved anyone as much as I've loved you. I love you so much it scares me." His vice was soft and strong, you didn't say anything, you just kissed him. With in the next couple minutes you had managed to straddle him, that was when you heard the door start to unlock. You rolled off of him and panic and your mother calmly walked in.
"Uh kids, you aren't very great at hiding things... Your lips are bright red. Don't worry, I won't tell your father" She smiled and went and put her stuff away.
"I love you too." You whispered in his ear before going to get those chips.
