Amu walked alongside Ikuto as they left the café. The atmosphere around just seemed so…calming, in a sense. But around Ikuto, Amu could feel there was a little ping of sadness in the air.
'I wonder…Why…?' She thought as she looked up at Ikuto with caring eyes. Before she realized that she was doing this, he looked down at her.
"Is there something on my face?"

"……. Uh, I'm sorry, What…?"
"Stop staring at me like that, are you thinking dirty thoughts about me?" Ikuto asked, pulling Amu close to him. Amu rolled her eyes as she tried to hide her face by looking away, but Ikuto placed two fingers below her chin and turned her face towards him. He stared at her closely, before Amu quickly shoved Ikuto aside.
"Wh…What are you…D…Doing!?!?!?" Amu stuttered. "U…Uh…S…Sorry…" her eyes shifted.
"…I didn't mean to push you so hard."
'I…I just met him…! Why would he do something like that…especially…to a girl like me? Theres nothing special about me, and I bet theres a lot of pretty young ladies here, I saw them in the crowd..' Amu thought placing her hand over her beating heart. She turned behind her to see Ikuto looking at her. He was smirking at her.
"Ooh, playing hard to get?" Ikuto said, walking closer to her. This time, Amu walked a little farther distance from him. She decided to walk behind him, so he could lead the way to his home. There was a long awkward pause as they walked, and the only sound that could be heard was their shoes shuffling against the gravel. Deep in her heart, Amu felt bad for what she had just done. Sure, he shouldn't have put moves on her, cause he just met her, but she pushed him off so hard…Well, she didn't have to do something like that, right?....Right?!
Suddenly, Amu bumped into something and she looked up. Ikuto had stopped, and he was facing left. Amu looked to her left and say a house. It wasn't totally decked out luxurious, but it was one of those houses considered as high class in uptown parts a city.
"uh…Is that your house?" Amu asked, surprised. "B…But..!!"
"Are you surprised?" Ikuto asked, snickering. "Did you think I was poor or something?"
'Well, Its not that, just I thought he was more like……What did I think he was like..? Its not like he slept in the street or anything. The clothing he was clad in was appropriate and had class to it. So what did I think of him anyway? I never really that that over…'
"Uh…No, Its…Just…Uh…" Amu tried to think of something to say, but before she could stir up something good, Ikuto started walking forward towards his house.
"It doesn't matter." Ikuto said. Amu couldn't tell whether that was something cold, or just sarcasm.
'I have to at least be a little nicer to him, I guess…because he's letting me stay the night. Better keep my guard up, I can't let myself be so easy around someone like him…Can I?' Amu thought as she followed Ikuto towards the door of his house, and watching him unlock the door, he pulled it open and stepped aside, letting Amu go in first.
"Thanks." Amu said, and stepped in slowly, taking off her shoes. Inside seemed to be bigger then the outside, and the way the furniture was organized was very sophisticated, which Amu did not expect. Ikuto stepped in right behind her, and removing his shoes as well, entered the house, only to sit on the couch.
"Make yourself at home, and if you need anything, feel free to get it for yourself." Ikuto said, without turning to face Amu. She only stood there, looking at him in silence, then sighed in defeat.
'What a COUCH POTATO!!' Amu thought in shame. "Listen, you-!"
There was only a quiet snore as Ikuto shifted around on the couch. He had fallen ASLEEP. Looking around, just to make sure no one was watching, Amu walked over to the couch Ikuto was snoring away on, and sat down next to it. Staring at his peaceful face, she released a heavy sigh and slowly reached up, using her fingers to lightly brush his hair from his face. 'he's so adorable…Its like a little child, or perhaps a kitten…' This was the last thought Amu had before she, too, fell asleep right in Ikuto's arms without realizing it.
