ShugoPrincess: Ahhh yes well I think I should say a few words about my story.

Ikuto: Nobody cares! They just want to read about how gorgeous I am.

Amu: Yeah like any body really cares about that. ShugoPrincess does not own Shugo Chara.

Christmas Wishes

Chapter 3: What do Want For Christmas?

Amu's POV

It didn't take me long to get changed. My outfit was all white. I tapped on Ikuto's door, he didn't answer so I poked my head inside. "Ikuto!!! Hello?!" I looked around. His violin was on his desk…and he was lying on his bed. I poked him. He was so warm. I poked him again, once twice three times. He opened an eye, "Are you coming?" I asked. He nodded. "So exactly what are we doing?" Ikuto asked as we walked around the park. "We're doing exactly what I said we'd be doing. Walking around the park." We rounded another corner. There was a vender selling hot chocolate, "Do you want some?" I asked pulling money from my pocket. "I'm fine." Ikuto said as I ordered my dark hot chocolate. It was early evening now, the park lamps were coming on. "We should get home now I guess." I said sipping my drink. Ikuto nodded. We were down the street from his house when I stopped. "Why are you stopping?" Ikuto asked. I drained the last of my drink and threw the empty cup away. I walked next to him, "My mom doesn't like it when I have a lot of a good thing." Ikuto raised an eyebrow, "You can never have too much of a good thing." Ikuto said. I stopped on the doorstep. "Well my mom thinks other wise." Ikuto moved closer to me, "I'll show you something you can never have too much of." His hand was curved around my cheek. The door swung open, I heard four voices say one word in unison. "Mistletoe," I looked at the doorway. A bunch of mistletoe was hanging in the door. "Amu, it's mistletoe and you're standing under it with Ikuto." My mom said. I laughed nervously, "Well technically he's not standing under it with me so that doesn't really count." Ikuto moved so he was under the mistletoe with me. Ikuto's parents were thrilled, and my dad – when did he get here? – was nodding his head in agreement. "What if I refuse?" I said slinking away from Ikuto. I leaned against the door frame. "Then your wish won't come true." Ayame said smiling. Ikuto was half blocking me from our parents eyes'. His voice was a soft whisper, "Come on Amu, it's just a kiss. It's not gonna hurt anybody." Ikuto's hand pressed lightly against my cheek. But he was wrong, it was gonna hurt him more than it was gonna hurt me. I sighed, "One kiss." Ikuto smiled impishly. "That's all I asked for at the moment." His lips were soft on mine only for a second. I could feel him abut to pull away so I hooked my arm around his neck. My lips moved with his. Ikuto wrapped his arms around my waist and I pulled away before he could do any thing else.

I turned to go upstairs and stopped when I saw the surprised looks on all their faces, Ikuto was smirking in satisfactory. "You guys it was only a kiss. It's nt like anything is gonna happen." I said and continued on my way. It was around 7 o'clock, maybe I should take a shower. I gathered my stuff and went to the bathroom. It didn't take long for the shower water to heat up. I stripped and got in the shower. It wasn't until I was about to wash my hair did I realize that I forgot to grab my shampoo. I jumped out of the shower pulled my underwear and bra back on and streaked for my room. I retrieved my shampoo and made my way back to the bathroom. I finished my shower and wrapped a towel around my body. I was in my bra and underwear when Ikuto walked in. My body temperature rose and my cheeks flushed pink, "What are you doing in here? This is my bathroom." Ikuto walked towards me until I pushed against the sink counter. "Actually this is a double bathroom. I was going to take a shower but you look soaked already." Ikuto said softly indicating the water that doused my undergarments. I bit my lower lips. "Leave Ikuto," He raised his navy eyebrows. His hand stroked my thigh. I thought I was going to collapse but Ikuto's arm slipped around my waist. "Why should I leave?" Ikuto asked. "Because I don't want you here." Ikuto laughed; "Would you want me in the bed?" his voice was clearly suggesting sexual content that - I had no interest in exploring. "No I don't want you period." Ikuto pretended to pout, "That's not what you said the last time we saw each other." I huffed, "That was 2 years ago. I was a stupid 14 year old." Ikuto looked at me as if he were staring into the depths of my soul, "I doubt that but I wasn't the smartest 18 year old."

ShugoPrincess: I know that was uber short but I think it was good and very interesting.

Ikuto: of course you think that; you're the one who wrote it.

ShugoPrincess: I don't always like what I write. *pouts*
