PLEASE REVIEW! YOU GUYS INSPIRATE ME!
I headed downstairs and looked in the refrigerator.
Damn, I thought to myself, No more beer.
The sound of the doorbell shook my head out of its thoughts.
"Coming!" I yelled as I ran and opened the door.
I stood there, looking at the man outside the door, in complete shock.
"Amu," said Tsukiyumi Ikuto, "Long time no see."
Chapter 2
A HUGE Misunderstanding
My entire body stood stiff, while he just looked at me with his kind eyes.
Outside it started to rain.
I knew he was there.
Hell, I knew he had just talked to me, but why wasn't my body reacting?
What I wanted to do right then and there was to give him a hug, cry, and share some stories about the good old days.
"Amu?" he said again, looking at me strangely.
He hadn't changed at all, still with his bored expression, blue hair and violin set in his violin case.
Once he said my name again, a light flashback of the times we were together played in my mind. The time we met, having a light chat on my balcony, fighting against him, when he stayed at my room…..
My vision became blurred and a huge headache started to hurt my head.
Wha-
Then everything went black.
Ikuto's POV
I didn't have to wait long until Amu came to open the door.
"Amu. Long time no see."
It started to rain and water droplets started to fall on my head. Very uncomfortable.
She stood there, stunned, I guess, from seeing me.
I hadn't changed at all. She on the otherhand, had.
Amu had gotten taller and way, way more attractive. Her pink hair had reached halfway down her back, although her fashion sense didn't change at all. Something else had gotten way bigger than last time I had seen her, but if I ever told her about it, she would call me a pervert.
She still stood there, completely rigid while I noticed something different about her.
Her eyes.
They were still the same color as they had been, 4 years ago, but something was different.
Then I understood. It was what people said they saw in my eyes. Sadness.
"Amu?" I asked, once I saw her staring off into space.
She flinched a bit, then suddenly passed out.
I caught a hold of her before she reached the floor.
"Seriously Amu," I said bewildered at what had happened, "What's wrong with you?"
As I took her, I caught a recognizable odor. It wasn't very strong and I couldn't tell what it was, so I just ignored it.
I took her into her house and closed the door behind me while the rain got worse. I headed upstairs, where I knew her room would be. Surprisingly, no one else was there.
Maybe they went to visit their family?
Once I reached her room and opened the door, The same smell invaded my nose.
I suddenly knew what it was.
Beer.
"Oh my god, amu, what have you been doing?" I told her while I walked to her bed.
I started to get curious when I saw that the comforter and other blankets were messed all around, and saw that her clothes were lying on the floor.
"What HAVE you REALLY been DOING?" ( I was a bit hysterical) this time I guess I was sure of myself.
Evidence 1:
BEER. Once I had placed her on her bed, I noticed something beside her, under the pillow. A Beer can. While leaning in to grab it there were WAY MORE thrown on the floor.
Evidence 2:
THE SHEETS.
Evidence 3:
CLOTHES LYING ON THE FLOOR. (some undergarments as well…)
Could Amu have been partying around with some guy while her parents weren't around?
Amu POV
I woke up, suddenly in my bed.
A moment ago I had been downstairs, greeting someone….
I gasped, suddenly remembering.
Ikuto looked down at me.
"What? What's wrong?" he asked worriedly, hearing me gasp.
My brain started working again. The complete opposite that happened downstairs.
I got up, a bit shocked, then looked back at Ikuto. Tears started to run down my face, making my vision all splotchy. But I didn't care.
I leaned in and hugged him. So hard, I thought my arms were going to break off. That's only because I missed him so much and never wanted him to leave me ever again.
I could feel he was shocked about this, but he also hugged tightly back.
"Amu," he said, after a long time of silence.
I could tell there was something he was going to ask.
"Hmm?" I said, breathing in his every scent, and making myself very comfortable.
I wonder what he's going to ask me?
Probably if he could stay the night here…..I guess I'll say yes…
"Have you been sleeping with someone?"
I didn't pay attention to the question, and answered something completely OPPOSITE.
"Yeah." I answered back plainly. ( I was thinking about the question of him spending the night.)
He let go and separated himself from me, fast. His eyes were wide open.
"Hey, why'd you do that?" feeling a little cold.
The rain was falling even more heavily now.
"REALLY?" I could notice he was astounded.
I looked at him puzzled.
"You knew I would say yes, right? I mean, it's different from how I used to act, but, I would obviously change with the years. I'm like 16 years old, Ikuto, I'm more mature."
I glanced at him, puzzled. What was wrong with him today?
Sure, in the past I maybe wouldn't have said 'yes' so easily of him spending the night, but people change, you know?
Ikuto calmed himself down and got up from the bed. He looked at me and smirked.
"Sorry for being such an idiot. Of course you're more mature. It's just that I'm not used to the Amu who parties around and does it in her room with someone while her parents aren't around. You really are different."
…
…
"wait. WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"
My brain was finally processing the information.
IKUTO THOUGHT I HAD ALREADY DONE IT WITH SOMEONE?
…
…
"You're such a PERVERT!" I screamed, shocked.
I grabbed the nearest thing I could find and threw it at him.
"OW!" he screamed, when the can of beer suddenly hit his head.
"Why Are YOU complaining? You're the one who said I was a slut!"
I felt a bit angry. Turns out that Ikuto still had his perverted tendencies….
He threw the can back at me. It hurt.
"HEY!" I screamed back at him.
"You're the one who said you had already DONE IT!"
I was about to throw the can right back at him, but he had just been way too serious about what he said.
"Really?" I asked, stopping to remember.
My brain began to turn back the clock of when Ikuto had asked me something.
"Have you been sleeping with someone?"
.
I had totally not paid attention to his question.
I facepalmed myself.
"Sorry. I misunderstood your question. I haven't done it with anyone yet."
He let out a sigh of relief.
Why would he have asked me such a weird question?
"Where'd you get such a weird question from, anyway?"
He just pointed at the messed up bed, the beer cans (Damn. I had forgotten to throw the majority out, so no one would see that I was an alcoholic and not get busted) and finally, to the clothes on the floor.
I laughed out loud.
I could see why he thought off something like that now. What an Idiot.
"Don't worry. Those clothes are the ones I had on before taking a shower. I guess I threw them there."
I walked, still giggling to the pile on the floor.
"Then what about the beer? Didn't think you were alcoholic."
I stood stiff for a while, remembering why I had drank.
"So? What was there to celebrate now?" he smirked at me.
I had to think of something. And Quick.
"u-um, I was j-just wanting some."
I continued to pick up my clothes.
"Ok, then. I guess that's the end of the questioning."
I giggled a bit.
"Sure, Sherlock."
I picked up the huge pile of dirty clothes and went to put it in the 'dirty clothes' basket to wash later.
I came back when I noticed something I had forgotten to throw in the basket.
"Oh. I guess it fell out." I said, picking it up and inspectioning it.
Ikuto had been looking around my room but turned back to see me when I said that.
…
…
I couldn't believe what I was holding.
Ikuto's POV
I had been looking around her room, trying to find where she put her shugo chara eggs when she said something.
I turned around to see her.
"Oh. I guess it fell out."
She had just picked up a garment from the floor.
I stared at it, in complete awe.
A blue medium men's T-shirt.
