Ikuto had been walking down Amu's street thinking he might like to bug her tonight. He fully expected to find her light out and door locked but he was surprised to see the light on and door wide open. A smile spread across his face as he thought of ways to tease her now.
Amu's back was bright and red, like her blushes. He thought with a smirk as he climbed slowly and carefully up to her balcony. He didn't make a sound as he tiptoed over to the open door and leaned against it. Ikuto took a moment to remain by the door watching her lay there. She was so still, so quiet. He wondered if she was asleep so he stepped closer to the bed. Her face was turned away from him so he deiced to play with her a little.
Ikuto leaned down carefully and blew cool air across her back careful not to make to much noise. She didn't move but he saw Goosebumps rise up on her arms. She sighed and he knew she was awake. He stopped for a moment grinning at her then started blowing again. Amu made a pleased noise in her throat as she felt the 'wind' finally blowing across her hot back. She'd thought that the night would be without wind and relief for her burned skin. Then it stopped.
"No, don't stop." She growled annoyed to the 'wind'. She thought she heard a snort but didn't think much of it longing for the comforting cool air across her back again. It was the only relief she'd had to the burning pain all night. She sighed when the cool air drifted over her shoulders and down her back. She frowned thinking that wind doesn't go up then down your back like that.
"Does that feel good Amu?" Her eyes shot open and she screamed. She sat up pillow clutched her chest and saw that Ikuto was standing over her. She clutched the pillow tighter to her chest her eyes squeezing close.
"Pervert!" She screamed she then attempted to get up on her feet but instead fell from her bed on the opposite side. Back first. She immediately rolled over and kneeled doubled over. The pain shot through out her back like a thousand pins being pushed into her back and then salt water being poured over it. Ikuto watched his head titled as he tried to regain his hearing.
"You sure scream loud." Ikuto commented smirking at the little pink head he could see on the other side of the bed. Silence.
"Amu?" He asked when he heard a soft muffled sound from her. She didn't answer him, didn't move.
"Amu." Ikuto walked around the bed and saw Amu doubled over tears just streaming down her face like waterfalls.
"A-Amu are you ok?" He was nervous now, not knowing if he had caused this pain.
"L-Leave me a-alone." She said lifting her face from the pillows.
"What happened?" He asked not moving.
"I-I l-landed…landed o-on m-my…" She burst out into sobs before she could finish her sentence. Amu was vaguely aware of Ikuto moving closer to her. She squeaked in surprise when the boy put his arms under the pillow where hands were and the other wrapped around her knees. She didn't move a muscle as he lowered her back onto the bed. She cried out when her back tightened as she lay straight out again.
"What…what are you doing?" She asked as he left the room. She stared at the open door wanting to follow him but not daring to move. He returned a moment later caring some face wash and one of her mother's make-up sponges. In his other hand a wet towel.
"This will help." He said ignoring the untrusting looks she gave him. He put some of the cream and started to dab her burn with the sponge and facial cream. Amu cried out in pain. Ikuto hesitated a moment before continue and Amu saw him flinch every time she cried out. But after a while of doing this the spots were the cream were began to feel better, cooler.
When Ikuto was down patting her back down with cream he took the cool wet towel and draped it across her back. She hissed as it contacted her then let all her breath out as the pain slowly began to dim. Her breath slowly went back to normal and she felt the pain dimming till it was gone. She rubbed her face back and forth in her pillow wiping away her tears before Ikuto could see them again.
"Thank you." Amu mumbled from her pillow as Ikuto remained perched besides her. Ikuto nodded and moved around the bed so he could kneel in front of her face. She stared into his dark eyes and blushed lightly, all the heat in her body seemed to be in her back not much was spared for her face.
"It should cool off for a while." Ikuto commented then stood to his feet again. Amu's heart pounded in a second of panic.
"W-wait!" He turned at her balcony door a small frown on his face.
"Are you leaving?" She asked softly feeling some more heat rise in her face. Ikuto did something rare. He smiled.
"No Amu." He stepped out on to the balcony and leaned against the railing though he looked back into the room at Amu.
"Why are you standing out there?" She asked softly.
"Because it's cool out here, you rooms to hot." He grinned as she stuck her tongue out at him then blushed.
Amu looked very cute as she slept. She'd fallen asleep a few minutes after Ikuto went to stand out on the balcony. He had come back in after that and sat down on the floor next to her bed. His arms rested on his legs as he looked around the room curiously. Eventually he could only stare at Amu's face as she slept. Her eyes moved rapidly in her sleep and he wondered what sweet dreams she was having.
"Ikuto…" He was surprised to hear her voice, but she was still asleep. He smirked thinking he might have a little fun with this.
"Yes Amu?" He whispered laying his head sideways on his arms on the bed. She was quiet for a moment.
"Ikuto?"
"Right here Amu." He said smirking.
"I-I….can't see…you." She frowned in her sleep and he could barely hold in his laughter.
"I'm right in front of you, always will be." He whispered. His hand moved out from under his head and he placed it lightly on the wet towel. To his surprise it was warm. He frowned and stood peeling the towel off.
"I-Ikuto?" Amu's eyes fluttered open as she felt the towel move against her back.
"I'm gonna get it wet again, I'll be right back." Ikuto then disappeared leaving Amu groggy on the bed. She thought she'd heard his voice in her dream. I'm right in front of you, always will be. Had she dreamed that, or had…had he said that to her?
"Here." Ikuto reappeared with the towel and moved to place it on her back again.
"Wait." He stopped and frowned at her.
"I-I don't want it just yet." She said. He placed the towel down besides her and went back to his spot in front of her. He looked at her with his cool gaze as she just stared at him.
"Where you talking to me a second ago?" She asked feeling her face warm again.
"Yeah." His blunt answer surprised her and she felt herself smiling.
"Is your back burning again?" Ikuto asked when Amu shifted slightly on the mattress and hissed. She nodded biting her lip in an attempt to hold back the tears.
"Here, let me try this." Ikuto sat up on the bed next to Amu and put one arm on the other side of her and leaned over her. He smiled, as Amu blushed unable to move or protest for fear of the sunburn's pain.
"I-Ikuto!" Amu gasped as she felt the cool touch of his lips press against her shoulder. It hurt at first and she hissed softly as he kissed the burning skin, but then gradually the kisses cooled the skin and she practically melted under his touch. Ikuto noticed this and grinned. He took up the towel and pressed it to his lips to make them cool again.
Ikuto kissed her sunburn till she was asleep again in blissful dreams. He placed the towel over her back and lay down besides her. He felt very tired and longed for the sweetness of a catnap.
"Amu?" He whispered seeing if she would respond. When she didn't and he had time to study her face he realized how close he was to her. Her arms were tucked by her sides protecting the naked skin she laid on. Her pink hair was pulled to the side exposing her neck to the cool air. Her face was pulled back in a smile that had been there when she fell asleep.
Ikuto didn't realize what he was doing till it was too late. He leaned closer to her smile and gentle pressed his lips against hers. It lasted for a short three seconds but that seemed like three hours to Ikuto. He pulled back letting out a surprised breath at his actions. But when Amu didn't wake he smiled and rolled on to his back.
"For comfort." He mumbled closing his tired eyes. He didn't mean to fall asleep, and he didn't notice one golden eye pop open and smile at the sleeping boy. Amu was surprised she'd kept from blushing and revealing that she'd been awake. She couldn't help but blush now. Her lips were still tingling from his touch.
