-:0:-Amu's POV –:0:-

Let's think of the negatives for a second, shall we?

Ikuto won't stop kissing/cuddling with me

I'm home. Alone.

I can't squirt him, due to what happened last time.

I don't have anything to use against him-oh wait!

I remembered what I bought, catnip! 'Thank god for…uhh…whoever-the-heck-invented-catnip!' I thought hastily as I grabbed for the bag on the floor. Ikuto held tighter me against his chest.
"Now what do you think you're doing?" he asked, suspicious that I was going to grab the spray bottle.
"I was just going to get your present, you don't have to be so defensive," I pouted.
"Present?" he curiously asked, making me smirk.
"Yep!" I said, opening the bag of catnip, hidden.
"Sniff sniff! Oh Amu don't tell me you bought-," Ikuto groaned.
"Yep, catnip!" I giggled.
"Honestly, Amu," Ikuto lunged forward, trying to get it away before what he couldn't control happened. What he didn't know was the bag was already opened. Once he realized it, the situation just screamed 'total chaos'. He tried to stop, but I slipped, landing in his arms, blush increasing each second. Unfortunately, the package spilled onto me, all over my face and neck. His cat-ears popped out and he pushed me onto the bed, my back against the wall, his instincts taking complete control. He smirked and licked my cheek, me gasping in fright. I bit my lip to not shriek. Once he stopped licking away the catnip, he sat on the bed next to me, and then rested his head on my lap, which was the place most of the catnip fell. He stretched and yawned, eyes fluttering closed.
"Uhh, Ikuto, can you move now?" I asked.
"Nope," he said nuzzling his face in my lap, causing me to blush deeply.
"Ikuto..?" Well, he looked drunk, so I decided to try something.
"I'm not going to move, I'm comfortable," he cuddled me more and more.
"Not that, I've been wondering, how do I look, in your eyes?" I asked.
"You're the sweetest, funniest, cutest, most wonderful girl I've ever met, Amu. How can you be self-conscious?" Ikuto asked, I dodged his skeptical look, 'High on catnip, he's still the same,' I thought.
"I was just wondering. Hey Ikuto," I asked again.
"Yes, my darling?" his reply surprised me.
"Do you…like me?" I inwardly giggled.
"No, I don't like you," he sat up and brought his lips close to my ear, "I love you more than anything and anyone in this entire world," he whispered breathlessly. Ikuto nibbled at my ear for a minute, and then went back to his little cat-nap with me blushing furiously. His cat-ears disappeared, and he darted off my lap.
"Amu, do you know what I could've done to you-," his eyes dashed from the miniskirt I was wearing to the bed we were sitting on and he groaned, "Amu, just don't do that again," Ikuto sat next to me. I snuggled up to him, nuzzling his chest.
"….Amu, what are you doing?" he looked at me skeptically.
"Cuddling with you," I said into his shirt.
"Does that mean I can hug back?" he asked, still unsure of my seriousness. I nodded and giggled as he leaned into the embrace. A little while later I tried to push him off, to no avail.
"O-okay, "I-Ikuto, you can get up now." I did what any normal twelve-year-old would do. I poked his cheeks to get him to move."I'm comfortable, though," he whispered.
"Then let me get changed into pajamas and we can go to sleep. SEPERATLEY," I chose my words wisely. He considered my words, looking for a loophole.
"How 'bout you change out of pajamas?" he asked, I rolled my eyes, grabbing my yellow pajama shirt and green and yellow polka-dotted pants with lace at the ends. I went into the bathroom, changed, and then came out. I got out a whiteboard marker and wrote on my whiteboard on the wall. It said:

Rules:

No hugging during the night

No kissing/cuddling/going farther

Stay on your side of the bed

Keep a two feet distance between us two

No provocative statements

Keep hands at sides

Tell anyone of this, and there will be hell to pay

Tell your second brain it'll never happen

Ikuto looked confused, very confused.
"Second brain…?" he asked, stumped.
"Ikuto, look down," I said, rolling my eyes. His eyes glanced down then darted back up.
"Perverted kid," he muttered, looking the other way.
"It works, though, now move over to this side," I said, sitting at the edge of the bed. Once he did, I moved over towards the side with the wall.
"Goodnight, Ikuto," I said, cuddling in the covers.
"Goodnight, Koneko-chan," I could clearly hear his smirk. I held back from kicking him by thinking violent thoughts about Ikuto. I looked over at the clock, 'Nine thirty, the rest of the night will go quickly,' I thought as I drifted into sleep. Little did I know what was in store.
