One-shot. Christmas is now over, but the snow just keeps piling up. Ikuto pops by Amu's place again, but this time, Amu's...?

He's Just Hungry

Gracefully as any cat could, Ikuto pranced from tree to tree to roof to roof with Yoru darting along with him.

"Where are we going ~da nya?" Yoru smiled, expecting something great.

"Don't know... Wherever..?" Ikuto smirked.

"I don't like that face...~da nya. You're thinking of something weird ~da nya." Yoru kept a distance.

Ikuto didn't respond, but with the smirk on Ikuto's face, Yoru knew something was up.

"Ah~! So we're coming here! You should've said so ~da nya!" Yoru licked his paw.

"Shh. We're being sneaky." Ikuto whispered.

"Sounds fun ~da nya!" Yoru giggled.

A muffled sound came from the window as Ikuto balanced himself onto the balcony's post.

"It's alright! I'm not going to lose to no stupid co--" Amu looked out her window and saw a pair of smirking eyes.

She jumped, panicking and then tripped over her own two feet, crashing to the floor.

"Amu-chan?!?!" her Shugo Charas rushed to her side.

Ikuto snickered, seeing her flustered expression.

"W-W-Wh-Wha-What are y-you doing here?!?!" Amu panicked.

Ikuto pointed to his ear, showing Amu that he couldn't hear what she was saying.

Hurriedly, Amu flipped the hatch and unlocked the balcony door, the shivering Ikuto and Yoru happily stepping into her heated room.

"Now what? You stopped by on Christmas. What do you want now?" Amu said coolly, closing the door after him.

"Ah, that reminds me, thanks for the present. You made it yourself, right?" Ikuto watched Yoru spinning around with Amu's Charas.

"Hmm~? Yeah! How did you figure that out?" Amu gleamed.

"The cat drawn on it looked retarded." Ikuto snickered.

"Well, excuse me!!!" Amu fumed, falling back on her bed.

Ikuto noticed Amu's room's door was open.

"Hey, aren't you worried your family might notice me?" Ikuto gazed over at the door.

"Nah. My parents and Ami went to visit my grandparents this morning. They won't be back until dinner time." Amu waved him away, covering herself with a blanket.

"Why didn't you go with them?" Ikuto probably already knew why.

"Huh?! Ah...uh...uhm...T-That's...," Amu stuttered.

Ikuto eyed at the crumpled used tissues that covered all over her room and all over her bed. There were five empty tissue boxes on her bed, too.

"Hmm~? Is it, maybe, that you're sick?" Ikuto smirked.

Amu shot up in shock, looking at him with "I can't believe he guessed right!" eyes.

"N-Not really! It's not like I got a cold from playing in the snow too much! Ha! Such a stupid and childish way to get sick! I-I'm not even sick!! Ahahahaha!!!" Amu tried laughing it off.

"A-Amu-chan... you're a terrible liar." her Shugo Charas floated around.

"Pfft!" Ikuto held it in, trying not to laugh.

"D-D-Don't l-laugh----. I-I told you I'm not sick!!! Not at all!!!" Amu blushed, snot dripping down her nose.

"Ahahaha! An idiot!!!" Yoru pointed at her teasingly.

"Amu-chan! Your nose!!! ~desu." Suu tried to warn Amu.

"Wah~! There's no more tissue!!!" Amu screamed, running out the door.

Ikuto twitched when he heard a loud crash. He came rushing outside Amu's room, looking to see what had happened, but Amu had only tripped down the stairs, her nose dripping some more.

Quickly, Ikuto strutted to the living room table where he saw there was a tissue box placed there. He took out three sheets and walked over to Amu who was whimpering from the embarrassment.

Ikuto took the tissue and shoved it into Amu's face, making her squeal. When Amu looked up at Ikuto, his face was all cold and serious-looking.

"I-Ikuto?" Amu said cautiously, intimidated by his mean face.

Ikuto didn't respond, handing her the remaining tissues and walking back to Amu's room, only to close the balcony door behind him as he left.

"D-Don't tell me! Ikuto's mad?!?!" Amu panicked.

"What did I do?!?!" Amu started crying, already feeling guilty even though she didn't even know what she did.

Yoru hovered to where Ikuto closed the balcony door. He lifted the curtain to take a peek, seeing if Ikuto really left or not.

Yoru's face turned sour, not able to believe what he was seeing.

The always cool and composed Ikuto was rolling around on the balcony floor laughing his butt off. He was laughing so much, tears started coming out from his eyes.

"Amu. So cute..," Ikuto held himself, trying not to laugh too hard, but his current state was already beyond help.

"I-Ikuto...," Yoru said stupefied.

"Yoru!" Amu suddenly cried.

"Eeek!" Yoru yelped, quick to cover the balcony door with the curtains.

"Ikuto...Is Ikuto angry with me?!" Amu said worriedly, already thinking of a way to apologize.

"Uhm...no. H-He's...He's just hungry...," Yoru could only protect Ikuto with such a lame excuse.

Poor Ikuto couldn't stop laughing til the very end...

I laughed...just picturing shmexy Ikuto rolling on the floor laughing his ass off...hahaha. Amuto Love!!!

"The End!!!"
