Author's Note: Sorry I've been really busy lately.

A Sweet Win

Amu's POV

I gulped nervously. I couldn't tell which cake was who's.

"Time to eat!" Yaya exclaimed. Then we both took a bite of the first cake. It was soft and fluffy. Basically a perfect cake.

"Wow," I murmured. "Amazing." Then we both took a bite out of the second cake. It wasn't that great. Truthfully it tasted like a cracker.

"Cake 1," Yaya and I both agreed. Ikuto smirked and he got up and stood behind me.

"I win," He told Rin putting his arms around my neck and then he rested his head on mine. I blushed, secretly feeling relieved.

"No way," Rin muttered angrily. Utau patted her shoulder comfortingly. Then I turned my attention back to Ikuto.

"Get off," I told him annoyed.

"No," He replied. "Aren't you glad I won?"

"Y-No!" I quickly caught myself but still blushed.

"Aw you are aren't you?" He asked. I just simply blushed more.

That night when Rin and I got home, Rin went straight to her room.

"Come on," I whispered. Then I tip-toed upstairs. I heard Rin screaming into her pillow.

"No matter what I can't beat him!" She yelled angrily.

"Calm down Rin-chan," Haruhi told her.

"Plus Amu and Utau-chan won't let us fight," Rin continued.

"We would so beat them!" Haruhi yelled angrily. I jumped usually she's pretty quiet.

"I'll figure out some way to beat him!" Rin exclaimed. "He can't be good at everything!"

"Rin," I sighed and opened the door. "Why can't you just-"

"Why were you eavesdropping on me?" Rin demanded angrily. I flinched. Her mood changes too fast.

"I wasn't!" I quickly told her. "I could hear you from my room."

"You're lying!" She accused. I gulped and shot out of the room.

"See you in the morning!" I yelled over my shoulder. Then I ran into my room and shut the door.

"My cousin's too quick-tempered," I complained laying down on my bed.

"Your cousins a lot of things," Miki muttered. Ran and Su both nodded.

"Don't be mean," I scolded them. "At least-" I was interrupted by a tapping on the balcony door. Ikuto smirked at me as I opened the door.

"What?" I asked. "I have enough problems as it is."

"Like what?" Ikuto asked.

"None of your..." I trailed off when I saw the pleading look in Ikuto's eyes.

"Amu-chan," My charas sighed. I won't give in. I thought. Ignoring him I sat down on my bed.

" 'Don't be mean.' " I blushed as Ikuto used my exact words. Then he sat behind me and pulled me up against his chest. Again like usual my face grew even redder.

"I-Ikuto," I stuttered. He gently tucked my hair behind my ear. You can't make me tell. I thought defiantly. But his gentle touch was too much for me to handle.

"You're cute when you're nervous," Ikuto whispered in my ear. I wonder if he knows how fast he can make my heart beat? I asked myself.

"I-It's Rin," I said giving in. Then I turned and faced him. But he kept his arms firmly around my waist and kept me close. "Wh-Why are you guys such rivals?"

"It's fun," He replied softly. "Almost as much fun as being with you."
