Chapter 9: You Got What You Wanted, Now Deal With It!!

Amu's POV

Some one below cleared their throat. I turned to see who it was, my mom had her hands on her hips, eyebrows raised and a somewhat expectant look on her face. Ikuto pulled me forward, I walked down the stairs with Ikuto by my side. As I passed my mom I thought I heard her playing the song that is at weddings when the bride walks down the aisle. Maybe it was just my imagination. Me and Ikuto getting married…. I could see it now. He would be wearing a navy blue tuxedo that was almost black. He would look absolutely amazing. I sighed deeply. Ikuto looked at me.

"Something wrong?" I looked down, "No….it's nothing." I peeked up at him. He shook his head, "Come on, I'm taking you out." Ikuto threw his black sweater at me. I wiggled my way into it; his jacket smelled exactly like him. ^_^ *yum* As Ikuto car pulled out of the drive way I looked at him, "Where are we going?" I asked. Snow was drifting down slowly. "You'll see." Ikuto's voice was on the edge, if I didn't know any better I would have thought he was excited about this. I rolled my eyes and looked out my window. Ikuto made a hair pin turn and I saw the amusement park Ferris-wheel loom into view. Then I saw the rest of the park.

"Omg…" my voice was quiet. Ikuto had already parked the car and opened my door and was holding his hand out for me to take by the time I stopped gaping at the flashy lights. The pavement was slick with ice and that didn't help my coordination. "Where do you want to go first?" Ikuto asked me. I knew it was a childish request but I asked anyway. "The t-cups, please?" I asked. Ikuto looked at me. "Not a chance." I pressed my body against his and batted my eyelashes, "Please?" I stuck out my lower lip and watched him carefully making sure to maintain full eye-contact.

He still didn't budge. I clutched the front of his jacket that he was wearing. "Pretty please with a cherry on top?" I asked. Ikuto shook his head, "Only if it's a strawberry instead of a cherry." Ikuto said. His voice was thick with implications. I blushed at the simple suggestion. "Deal." I smiled and dragged him to the tea cups. For the next hour or so I managed to drag Ikuto to all the rides. He won a black stuffed plushie cat, I decided to name him Yoru. There was only one ride left and Ikuto wanted to go on it but I didn't.

"Don't tell me that my sweet strawberry is afraid of heights." Ikuto's voice teased as he wandered to the Ferris-wheel. "No, I'm not scared….I'm just….." I swallowed looking up at the massive wheel. "Come on Amu, it's not like it's gonna roll away while we're in it." I could hear the laughter that he was holding back. He pulled me closer to the carriages. "What if it stops, or gets stuck or I fall….or…or….or…" Ikuto pressed his lips against mine. "I won't let any of hat happen to you." I sighed. "Okay." I went into the carriage first, Ikuto stayed behind for a few seconds to whisper something to the person and pay him for our ride.

We were all the way at the top of the circuit when the carriage came to a jerky stop. I started to panic. "Ikuto we're stuck. At the top!!!! We're gonna freeze to death!!!" He pulled me into his lap, "We are not going to freeze to death." His tone was nonchalant. "I suppose you're just going to sit here?" I asked turning around a little so I could look out the frosted window next to me. "Yep. With you right here in my lap. All warm and cuddly and looking so hot." Ikuto's compliment sent my heart into a flutter and my face flushed until it matched my hair. I shook my head.

It didn't take long for me to get bored so I wrote my name on the window pane. Ikuto was watching me. Above my writing and in the most elegant writing I have ever seen was his perfect cursive; 'Will you marry me?' I thought I was hallucinating. I turned to Ikuto and was about to laugh until I saw that he was holding a small box, and nestled in the center of that box was a silver heart with pink and blue gems surrounding it. (A/N: it was the pendant on Amu's necklace from the beginning of the story when Ikuto went to buy her a Christmas present…remember.) I was at a loss for words.

Ikuto slid me off his lap and shifted to the floor of the carriage. He got down on one knee and I started hyperventilating. Ikuto's voice was but a soft whisper. "Amu Hinamori, would you give me the great honor of marrying me?" I nodded numbly. His lips twisted into a true smile. The carriage rocked a little, we never stopped we just slowed down a hell of a lot. I followed Ikuto as we left the carnival. "Ikuto you do still know that I'm sixteen…." I laced our fingers together. "Yeah, and I'm eighteen." I sighed. "It's not like I can marry you tomorrow." I was disappointed. "Actually you can, if you get parental consent." I laughed a little at the thought of my father letting me go. "Or we could elope." I said leaning against his arm. Ikuto stopped at his car and raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious?" my face turned pink.

"Yes." Ikuto leaned toward me, "It seems as though you've thought this over quite a bit already." I denied it, "No I haven't thought about it seriously." His lips turned into a smirk. "Sure you haven't but tomorrow you'll be Mrs. Amu Tsukiyomi." I smiled when Ikuto said my soon-to-be name. "Where are we possibly going to find a priest who will marry us?" Ikuto smoothed the lines in my forehead. "In a church of course, that's where we'll be getting married after all. Amu for a wife you can be a little dim." Ikuto said disapprovingly as he opened my door. I climbed in and waited for him to get in the car before I said anything. "2 things; 1: I'm not dim. And 2: I'm not you're wife I'm your fiancé." I said haughtily.
