Chapter 13: Meeting The Parents
Amu's POV
We ended up staying a week at the beach house. We had a really fun time there, just relaxing, playing beach volleyball, swimming, having campfires at night and just spending my time with Ikuto.
It's been 3 days since we were back. Right now, I'm relaxing under the tree Ikuto and I always go to in school. Ikuto was getting a drink for me.
Yaya and Kairi both went back to visit their family. Utau and Kukai went together to meet the parents since they're dating now. I wonder if Ikuto and I should do that. Rima's parents already planned a trip overseas long ago. Lastly, Nagi went back to visit his family and have dance lessons by his mom.
There weren't a lot of people in school. Only those that aren't traveling and nerds that want to continue studying.
"I'm back," I turned to the side to see Ikuto holding a bottle of strawberry juice.
"Here," he sat down and pass the drink to me.
"So, any plans?" I asked as I opened the bottle.
"Hmm..." He started. "I don't know. I'll just do whatever you wanna do."
"But we have to do something we both want to."
He cupped my face with his hands making me look at him straight in his eyes. "I said, I'll just do whatever you want to do. Just being with you is good enough for me.
I blushed. Damn, he was so sweet. I had an idea of what to do.
"Do you want to visit my family with me?"
"Visit your family?"
"You know what, never mind," I said quickly. "My family is a little crazy anyways."
"Sure," he said immediately after I said that.
"Really?" I looked at him.
"Yeah, why not?"
"Ok," I smiled. "I'll call my mom later."
"Ok."
"When do you want to go?"
"Anytime you want."
"Tomorrow?"
"Anytime you want," he repeated. I rolled my eyes.
Ikuto and I went back to my dorm room. Ikuto lay on my bed, reading a magazine while I called my mom.
"Hello?"
"Hi, mom!"
"Hi, honey. How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"You're having your summer holiday now, right?"
"Yep."
"Your sister is having summer holiday too."
"Yeah, I know."
"So, are you coming to visit us?"
"That's what I called you for. I'm coming to visit tomorrow. Is that ok?"
"Of course. We were waiting for you to call and come back."
I laughed a little. "I'll come around late afternoon."
"Ok, I'll cook your favourite food."
"Thanks mom."
"See you tomorrow. Bye."
"See you too. Bye," I hung up.
"You didn't tell your mom that I'm coming to," Ikuto said.
"Well, I want to surprise them," I lay down next to him."
"Hmm... Surprise them?"
"Yep, 'cause I have a wonderful boyfriend now. Of course I have to surprise them."
"Hmm, I wonder who that might be...?" He smirked.
I hit his arm playfully. He chuckled and I giggled. Suddenly, he leaned in and kissed me. I slowly close my eyes and leaned in to deepen the kiss.
Finally, we pulled apart because we were out of breath. We looked into each other's eyes before I asked, "Why'd you always do that?"
"Do what?"
"Suddenly just kiss me."
"Well, you like it don't you."
"T-hat's not the point," I blushed.
"But you do like it."
"N-no," I said but the fact was, I did. I did like it when he kiss me like that but I was too embarrassed to say it.
"Admit it. You do like it."
I didn't say anything and looked away.
"Come on, admit it," he nudged me once seeing that I wasn't responding.
"Fine, I love it," I finally gave in. He smirked, satisfied. I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face.
Later that day, we were too lazy to go out for dinner so I cooked instant ramen for the both of us. We went to bed after packing our stuff for the next day. Ikuto slept next to me on Utau's and my bed since she wasn't here. It was like the time at the beach house.
The next day, I woke up and took a shower. I was all ready to go and Ikuto was still sleeping.
"Ikuto, wake up and get ready," I shake him a little.
"Hmm..." Stirring from his sleep. He was a very light sleeper. He slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that he was already awake, I stood up to check if I forgot anything.
As I stood up and about to walk away, Ikuto suddenly pulled my hand down causing me to go down too. When I was at his level, he kissed me. Again, I was caught off guard.
"See, you did it again," I wined.
He chuckled. "Yeah, but you loved it."
I turned away a little, not wanting to look at him and said softly, "Yeah."
"Hmm? What was that?" He leaned towards me. "I couldn't hear you."
I turned to look at him. "Yeah. I loved it."
He smiled and gave me a small kiss. I blushed. Damn, he always makes me embarrassed yet so sweet.
He got up and got ready while I check what else we needed to bring.
After Ikuto was done bathing, we got all our things and headed out. Ikuto drove all the way back to Kyoto, which was about 5 hours plus.
Once we reached Kyoto, I took over, giving Ikuto a break and he didn't know the way to my house anyways.
Finally, I parked in front of my house. Mom must have planted some new plants, there were flowers blooming. Ami must have also gotten a new bike as there was one parked out at the front yard—all new and shiny.
We got off the car. Ikuto looking at my house. "So this is your house."
"Yep," taking out my bag from the boot. Ikuto came to help me.
We took our things and rang the door bell. I actually still have my house keys but I decided for them to open instead of me just going in.
The door opened revealing my mom.
"Amu-chan," she hugged me tightly. "I missed you."
I laughed. "I miss you too mom."
She let go of me, finally realizing Ikuto was standing there. "Who's this?"
Before I could answer, a voice said, "Is he your boyfriend?" It was Ami.
"Really?" Mom clasped her hands together and gave me her sparkly eyes.
"Can we go in first?"
We went in. Dad was sitting on the couch, reading newspaper.
"Amu-chan is here."
"Ah, Amu-chan!" He put his newspaper down on the coffee table and turned around. Once he turned around, he froze.
Oh great! He must have saw Ikuto next to me. Dad always overreacts when it comes to guys.
"Amu-chan, w-who is that?"
"It's Amu's boyfriend," Ami said bluntly.
"W-what?!" Dad looks like he was having his worst nightmares. He seriously have to chill.
"Um, why don't we sit down first," I said.
"I'll make tea," mom went into the kitchen to make tea for us.
I turned to look at Ikuto. He looks like he is going to burst out laughing. I elbowed him. After I did that, I could tell he was trying to remain as calm as possible.
We sat down on the couch where dad was sitting just now. Dad kept glaring at Ikuto. Mom came in the living room with a tray of tea. She put it down on the coffee table. I helped distribute the cups.
"So, you going to tell who this is?"
Before I could say anything, Ikuto already started to introduce himself. "My name is Tsukiyomi Ikuto. I'm Amu's boyfriend."
"NOOO!" Dad shouted. "MY LITTLE SPARROW IS FLYING AWAY FROM THE NEST!"
"Knew it," Ami said while looking at her phone. (A/N: sry Ami is like so different from the anime. Since in this fanfic she is much older already, I picture her like teenager, popular kid in school, have a lot of friends to talk to so always on the phone texting people kind.)
"Oh Amu-chan, that's great!" Mom exclaimed.
I sighed from dads overdramatic attitude. Mom, on the other hand had a totally different reaction. I can't believe how different mom and dad are. Ikuto looks like he really can't hold back his laughter anymore.
"It's not great!" Dad shouted to mom.
"Of course it is! Amu-chan have a boyfriend. It's so romantic," mom said already in her own world.
Dad—not arguing with mom anymore—turned to us and glared hard at Ikuto.
"You even dare to hurt her, I'll make sure you'll never see daylight ever again," dad threatened Ikuto. Dad was seriously overreacting.
"Sir, I'll never hurt her," he replied, looking very serious. It's like his face just changed, from a face that would just burst out laughing anytime to a very serious face. "She is everything to me."
"Come on," looks like mom finally came out of her own world. "give this boy a chance."
"Hmmp!" Dad cross his arms. "Ok fine. But I mean what I said, if you ever hurt her, I'll make sure you never see daylight again."
"And I mean what I said too, I'll never hurt her," Ikuto said seriously.
"Well then, you can call me Midori and you can call him Tsumugu," mom gestured to dad.
After all that, we went up to my room and I set up a mattress for Ikuto on the floor though he insisted that we could squeeze on the single bed. Dad wasn't so happy about him sleeping in the same room as me though.
We decided to rest for the rest of the day since we had a long journey today. Mom cooked my favourite food for dinner. Oh, I missed it so much. I already planned to bring Ikuto around my favourite places in Kyoto tomorrow.
Now, we were getting ready for bed. I lay down on my bed and Ikuto just came back from the bathroom.
He sat down on the mattress and lay his head on my bed. "So, your family is interesting."
"Haha. Sorry, my family is kinda weird."
"No, it's ok. They're nice, I like them." He paused for awhile. "I like being in your house with your family. It just feels cozy, I guess."
"Cozy?"
"Yeah. You probably never felt it 'cause it was always there. But since my family is different from yours, I feel the difference."
"What's your family like? Well, besides Utau."
"Hmm... How should I put it?" He paused again, thinking of how he should explain to me. "Well, it's like strict, I think."
"Strict?"
"Yeah, and formal. We were always told to do things and go for business parties with my parents where everything is formal. I mean, sure we do have fun times too but my parents were always on business trips. Most of my fun times were with Utau but sometimes it's not as fun. Especially when she starts playing with her Barbie dolls."
I just sat there and listened to everything he said. When he stopped I decided to say something.
"Can I meet your family after this?"
"You want to meet my family?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"Well, you already met Utau, so it's just my parents."
"Ok, so can we? I mean, if you don't want then it's fine."
"Hmm... Ok."
"Really?"
"Yeah, and since now I have a wonderful girlfriend." I blushed. "Sexy and beautiful, I may add."
I blushed even harder. Ikuto chuckled and leaned up to kiss me. Damn, I could just melt in all of his kisses.
The next morning, we woke up pretty late. We ended up talking random things last night and slept quite late.
We went down for breakfast, everyone else already ate considering we woke up so late. Mom prepared eggs and bacon for us.
After breakfast, we went out. I brought Ikuto around. We went to the sea aquarium that my parents always brought me when I was younger. For lunch, we went to one of my favourite café. Ikuto seemed pretty satisfied with his fish n chips because he kept saying the fish he was eating was good.
After lunch, we went to the shopping mall that I always hung out with my friends last time. We went to this cute shop that sold a lot of accessories. My friends and I used to go there a lot too. We would try on the accessories but don't buy them in the end. I made Ikuto try on a lot of stuff like hats and wigs and I manage to get a picture with him with all the accessories.
We found some nice accessory. Ikuto insisted that he buy something for me. I also insisted I buy something for him too though he refused saying he doesn't wear this kind of things.
In the end, he bought me a heart shaped locket that could put a picture inside. I already decided to put a picture of us inside the locket. I bought Ikuto a cross shaped necklace. The necklace had no hook as the chain was very long. (A/N: Ikuto wore a cross shaped necklace in the anime. That's the necklace I'm talking about)
Later on, we went to a photo booth. We took lots of pictures. We just goof around, making funny faces. Ikuto even kissed me by surprise and the camera got a shot of that. We came out of the photo booth, I immediately took the pictures and scanned through the pictures. The last one was Ikuto and I kissing. I blushed and Ikuto kept saying he liked the last one. I decided to take one of the picture and I put it in the locket.
When it was evening time, we went to the park. I always went there when I feel stressed up or sad or just go there to relax.
Ikuto took his violin out of the car.
"Oh, you brought your violin." I said once seeing him take it out.
"Yeah, I want to let you listen to a song I just wrote. Well, if you want."
"Of course I want to listen."
We went to the spot that I always went to. (A/N: it's where Ikuto always play his violin. I don't know what it is called.)
I sat down on the bench while Ikuto took out his violin. He took the violin in one hand and the bow in the other. Then, he put the violin under his chin, took his bow and started playing. He played so skillfully and gracefully, sliding the bow on the strings.
I closed my eyes and listened to the melody the strings made. The song was so beautiful. It was slow and somewhat sad. Around the middle of the song, it changed. It was still slow but happy, it no longer had the sad feeling.
He played the violin perfectly, down to the last note. Once he finished the song, he put his violin back into the case.
"Sorry, the song isn't perfected yet." He said as sat next to me.
"It was perfect to me," I leaned against his shoulder. "It was so beautiful."
"Thanks," he kissed my head.
"So, what's the song about?" I turned my head to look at him. "I mean, you must have a reason to write it. Almost every song have a story behind it."
"Well, it's about me. I'm lonely and have no purpose in life until you came into my life."
My eyes became a little teary. That was so sweet. I didn't know what to say.
"Ikuto," he must have saw me tearing up.
"Shh..." He stroked my hair gently. "You don't have to say anything."
He lifted me chin up so I was looking at him. Our faces were so close to each other's.
"I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," I whispered back. And with that, we close the gap between us.
We stayed a few days at my house. Right now, we were on the way to Ikuto's house to meet his parents.
Ikuto's house is at the outskirts of Tokyo, the countryside. Not very far away but more it's much more peaceful than the city. Well, that was all according to Ikuto.
From the city with many high-rises, it slowly disappear as Ikuto drove on. There were more trees, land and mountains. Everything was so green and it was beautiful.
Once we reached, I was shocked once I saw his house. His house was huge! It was a mansion.
"T-this is your house?" I managed to say.
"Yeah," Ikuto shrugged as if it was nothing. Well, I guess he's used to it.
"It huge!" I exclaimed, looking at it in awe.
"I prefer your house. It's much cozier," he held my hand. "Come on, let's go."
"Ok,"
We went to the front door and Ikuto rang the door bell. A butler opened the door.
"Who is it?" A strict voice rang. It must be his mother's voice.
"It's Ikuto-sama, M'am." The butler replied.
"Oh, Ikuto!" Her voice suddenly changed. It was happy and cheerful, like a child.
Ikuto took a step back. He looks like he is bracing himself from something. His mother came running to the front door. She jumped up and hugged him, almost tackling him to the ground. Ikuto must have prepared himself for this or else he would have already fell to the ground.
"Mom, stop clinging on to me."
"Oh, don't be like that. I haven't seen you for so long."
"Yeah, I know."
"Let's go inside. I'll make you your favourite chocolate milk."
"I'm not a little kid anymore, mom."
"Little or big, you'll still like it." She turned to walk in, that when she finally realized I was standing there. "Oh, who are you?"
"I'm Hinamori Amu. Nice to meet you, Tsukiyomi-san." I took a bow.
"Oh, such a polite girl. Nice to meet you too, Amu."
"Can we go in first?" Ikuto said and we went in.
"You don't have to be so formal and polite," Ikuto whispered to me.
"It's fine," I whispered back.
The inside of the house was even more spectacular. The interior design of the house was very modern. The house was very clean. It must take a lot of people to clean this house.
At that moment, someone came down. He looks just like Ikuto. Actually, I think Ikuto looks like him. He must be Ikuto's father.
"Who's here? I wasn't expecting anyone today," he said then looking towards us. "Oh, Ikuto! You came to visit."
"Hi, dad." I guess correctly. He was Ikuto's father.
"How you doing, boy?"
"Don't call a boy. And I'm fine."
His father laughed and then he saw me. "Hello. Who might you be?"
"I'm Hinamori Amu. Nice to meet you, Tsukiyomi-san." I took a bow again.
"Nice to meet you too, Amu. Welcome to our house."
"It's a pleasure to be here," I smiled.
"Take a seat, Amu." She gestured to the living room. "Mio, please make tea for us."
"Yes, M'am." Mio, the maid, took a bow before leaving to make tea.
"So Ikuto, who's this beautiful lady you brought today?"
I was about to say that I was Ikuto's girlfriend when Ikuto wrap left arm around my waist and pull me closer to him. "She's my girlfriend."
"Oh, that's great!" Ikuto's mother seemed really happy. "Utau came with Kukai just a few days before you guys and they said they were dating."
"Yep." Ikuto's father put the cup of tea down. "That was a surprise since they knew each other for quite long already."
"And now you come back with a lovely young lady. Oh my, my kids are growing up!" Ikuto's mother mother took my hand. "You can call me Souko and my husband, Aruto."
She started asking me a lot of questions. She even showed me Ikuto's baby pictures and when he was younger. He was so cute. Ikuto kept protesting and trying to get the album away from me but I managed to look at all of it. Ikuto is so cute when he is embarrassed.
Ikuto must have got bored watching Souko and I talk. He managed to get me away from Souko and took me to the garden. The garden was so beautiful. There were many different kinds of flowers and there was a fountain in the middle of the garden. There was also an old tree house, which Ikuto told me that Utau and him use to play in there a lot. We sat down on a swing in the garden and just enjoy the surrounding.
Later on, Ikuto even brought me to a small stable beside their house. There was 2 horses, one pure white and the other black with a white spot at it's left eye. Ikuto told me the white horse was called Snow and the black horse was called Knight.
I never rose a horse and didn't know how so Ikuto and I shared one with him riding it. Ikuto took Knight as he said Knight was the horse he always rode on and Utau would ride Snow. I told Ikuto that I could sit behind him but he insisted I sit in front of him. Ikuto rode to the open field just beside their house. It was amazing. I leaned against Ikuto's chest and let the wind just blow on my face.
Later that night, we ate dinner that Souko cooked. It was really delicious. We chatted for a bit before going up to Ikuto's room.
His room was mainly blue just like the one at the beach house. It really was almost the same just a little bigger than the one at the beach house.
I took a nice relaxing bath in Ikuto's huge bathtub. When I came out of the bathroom,—all set to go to bed—Ikuto was lying on his bed with his eyes close. He and I were sharing a bed again. I slowly got on the bed and stared at Ikuto. He was so cute sleeping so peacefully like this. I shifted his hair that was covering his eyes a little when Ikuto's eyes shot open and he caught my hand.
"What are you doing?"
"N-nothing," I stuttered.
"I know I'm so hot that you can't resist staring at me when I sleep."
"N-no!"
"Hmm really? Admit it, Amu."
"F-fine. Y-you're hot. And cute." I looked away embarrassed.
Ikuto chuckled and got up. He hugged me from behind since I turned away from him. "Well, I'm going to admit something too. You're so cute when you're embarrassed."
I blushed. "And when you blush. You're so beautiful and sexy too."
I turned around and buried my face in his chest. He chuckled. "You're seriously too cute."
"C-can we just sleep already?"
"As you wish, my beautiful princess." I blush yet again. Damn, why does he keep making me blush.
We lay down with my face still buried in his chest and his arms around me. And yet again, we fell asleep in each other's arms.
So that's it for this chapter. Hope you liked it. Sorry if there was any mistakes. And again, I'm going to say sorry in advance if I post the next chapter late. Do review, follow and favourite! Thank you so much! Bye~
