If you chose Ikuto….

Mateo and I stared at Ikuto who was standing in the doorway.

"I-Ikuto?"

"I know it's early, but I thought I would treat you to lunch." Ikuto said not looking at me, but glared at Mateo.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Mateo asked in an easy going tone.

"No."

Mateo seemed to relax, "I'm Nishkuri Mateo."

"Are you a friend?"

"Sort of." Mateo shrugged.

"I see, well Amu, would you like to have lunch with me or not?"

"S-Sure." I say, not wanting to be in Mateo's company any longer.

"Well, I guess I'll see you again sometime." Mateo said politely and left before Ikuto could say anything else.

Once he was gone, I could feel Ikuto's stare piercing the veil my bangs made.

"Who is he?" Ikuto's tone was far from nice or curious.

Choice A: Tell him.

Choice B: Don't tell him.

Choice A Outcome:

"My ex-boyfriend."

"Ehh?" Ikuto seemed amused.

"What?"

"Did he dump you or did you dump him?"

I didn't say anything.

"He dumped you?"

I nodded.

"What business does he have here then?" Ikuto seemed pissed off all of a sudden.

"I don't know. I just started to talk to him when you arrived."

"I see."

Choice B Outcome:

"A person I knew in Nemuro."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Well he seemed to be looking at you more than an acquaintance would.." Ikuto had a glint of distrust in his eyes.

"Yeah, well.." I didn't know how to cover it up.

"So who is he?"

"I told you.."

"Well elaborate."

"If you must know.." I grumbled. "He's my ex."

"You had an ex?" Ikuto said in disbelief.

"Isn't that a little harsh?"

"Sorry, sorry." Ikuto seemed a little ticked.

"What?"

"Did you dump him?"

"…..No."

"Then what is he doing here?"

"I don't know."

Continuation:

I hoped Ikuto didn't notice how affected I was by seeing Mateo. I didn't know what to do. So many things were running through my mind right now. I didn't even understand how I felt! I felt angry at Mateo for showing up, but curious about why he came, then happy to see him after so long and longing for him to hold me the way he did those months when we were together. I felt hate for him showing his face to me after all this time.

Ikuto wiped away a tear that I didn't know was there.

"Let's go."

Ikuto took my hand and led me out of the Hinamori estate.

"Where are we going?"

"Forget lunch and forget studying."

"What?"

Ikuto was walking so fast.

"We're going to an amusement park."

"An amusement park?"

"Yeah. Walk faster." Ikuto ordered.

"O-Ok."

I smiled, Ikuto still didn't let go of my hand and the expression on his face was different from his normal pouty face or teasing smirk. He looked conflicted and determined to do something. To do what, I'm not sure, but I was happy to have him hold my hand. Even if he has been cold to me, his hand was warm and comforting around mine. It felt a lot like Mateo's hand.

"This park is new, you'll like it."

"Eh?"

"Look." Ikuto stopped walking and pointed ahead of us.

I looked at the direction in which he was pointing and gasped. Just a few blocks away was a huge amusement entrance was something out of anime. You could see huge balloons of animals attached to the entrance beckoning you to come closer. There was streamers hanging from the roof of it and the laughter and screams of the people inside were hard to ignore.

"You seem excited already!"

"Let's go!"

Now I was the one to pull him along. Ikuto paid for our tickets and let me walk around the park. Immediately I spotted a game booth that was giving away three foot tall pokemon plush dolls.

"I-Ikuto.." I didn't have any money on me..

"What is it?"

"Can I borrow some money?"

"For what?"

I meekly pointed at the stand and waited for him to laugh at me.

Instead, Ikuto smirked and led me to the stand. He paid for two soft balls and aimed at the three cubes that were stacked one on top of the other. No one could win the game so far. Ikuto threw the ball and knocked down two blocks. The vendor reset the cubes and Ikuto aimed his next throw a little more. He released the ball and all three blocks were knocked off the platform!

"First winner of the day!" The vendor exclaimed.

"Wow, Ikuto! You're amazing!"

"Which one do you want?" Ikuto smirked.

"Oshawatt, please!"

"Here you go, Miss." The vendor said handing me my pokemon.

Ikuto and I walked away with oshwatt in my arms. Somehow, Ikuto had his arm around me and I didn't even consider pushing it away.

"Thank you so much, Ikuto!" I smiled at him.

"You finally smiled."

"Hm?"

"Nohing, what do you want to ride next?"

"Hmm.."

"Can't decide?"

"All we've been doing is stuff i want to do. Don't you want to ride something?"

Ikuto tilted his head away from me and looked around.

"Why not this one?" He said looking at the ride in front of us.

It was called the X-Flight. (most insane ride ever o.o). There is no track above or below you. You go through the sky on 3000 ft. of twisted steel. THere are so many drops, loops, and intense fly throughs that you can't blame the people on the ride for screaming so loudly.

"The x-flight?"

"Yeah."

"Erm.." I gulped.

"Are you scared?" Ikuto asked.

"…."

I couldn't turn Ikuto down. He has beens o nice to me this whole entire time and hasn't even asked about Mateo.

"No, let's go."

The line was two hours long, but worth the wait according to those around us.

"We have gone on three times!" The party in front of us said.

"It's something you need to experience to understand." The youngest of them said.

"Erm.." I couldn't contain my nervousness as I squeezed Ikuto's hand.

"We don't have to ride this if you don't want to.."

"NO! No. I..I want to ride."

"Alright then.."

"Two hours is a long time though.."

"Then let's play a game."

"A game?"

"Yeah.." Ikuto smirked.

He put his arms loosely around my neck and held his phone in front of my face, but far enough that it wasn't uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?"

"We're going to play a game."

His iPhone chimed to life and Ikuto chose a music game."

"Eh?"

"This will be a little bit of studying."

"It looks like so much fun.." I said as Ikuto started the game and watched the moving characters.

"Here you tell me what to click."

Though I was very conscious of how close Ikuto was to me, I couldn't help but enjoy it. I haven't been like this with someone in so long. At least it felt that way. We played multiple music games and I had the basics mastered.

"Look," Ikuto smirked.

"What?"

"We're here!"

We were next in line and I put my toy off to the side.

"Hm?"

"Let's get on!"

We were seated and the ride was off.

….

"That was so much fun!" I exclaimed.

"Insane!" Ikuto laughed.

His laugh was really nice.

"What?"

"Nothing!" I giggled.

"What do you want to do now?"

"Let's go on the ferris wheel!"

"Sure."

We walked to the other side of the park where the ferris wheel was located. We stepped into the cart and were slowly elevated up. Once we were near the top the ride stopped and a man's voice was on the speakers.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the ride has lost power. We are trying to fix this as soon as possible!"

"Just our luck." I said.

"I think it's fine."

"Yeah, I suppose so." I smiled.

"I'm really happy you smiled again."

"Eh?" I could a blush creeping onto my cheeks.

"You were so disoriented by Nishkuri that I didn't know what else to do." Ikuto said looking at the park.

I smiled more and stood up.

"What?" He looked at me.

I hugged Ikuto tightly.

"Thank you."

"N-No problem."

"Was that a stutter?" I asked pulling away.

"NO." Ikuto grumbled. "But if you want to hear a real stutter, I can coax one out of you."

Ikuto was cornering me in our bench.

"Erm.."

"I'm joking." Ikuto smirked and relaxed.

"Oh.."

"Do you mind if i ask something?"

"No.."

"What happened with him?"

"…I.."

"You don't have to tell me."

"No, it's..it's not that."

"I just want to know why he has such an effect on you."

"It's not that interesting of a story."

"I want to hear it anyway."

"I met him my senior year of high school. We fell in love and he was my second serious boyfriend. We slept together and all that good stuff." It was my turn to smirk. "I really really loved him and thought that he was the one I wanted to marry."

"That's a fast thought."

"I know. We dated for eight months without a problem. No fights or anything and I realized why."

"Why?"

"He had a girl on the side and he dumped me as soon as I found out."

"Did the other girl-"

"She knew full well I was dating Mateo."

"What a bastard..next time I see-"

"Don't waste your time."

"I'm sorry for asking."

"No..you were curious. Anyone would."

I tried to hold back tears.

Ikuto hugged me again.

"Eh?"

"It's ok to cry, ya know?"

"I cried a lot already though."

"Well obviously that wasn't enough.."

"I'm sorry for ruining our-"

"I had fun."

"You're really nice Ikuto."

"I know, aren't you lucky?" Ikuto chuckled.

"Yeah."

I cried until the ride started working again, but Ikuto still hugged me long after my tears stopped. We got off the ride and headed over to Ikuto's music study room.

"Shall we begin?" Ikuto asked.

"We're two hours late." I sighed.

"That's ok." Ikuto shrugged and started to tune his violin.

"What will we be doing today?"

"See how well you can sing and play."

"Can I start with piano?"

"Sure, don't stop playing until I say so."

"Rodger!"

I took a seat at the piano and uncovered the keys. Ikuto sat beside me and waited for me to begin. My fingers chose their normal place on the octaves and begin to play. I went from my sad dreary numbers to my anime medleys. I don't know how long I have been playing, but I know it has been a more than hour.

"Stop."

"How was that?"

"You have potential. I'll be giving you more complicated pieces from today forward."

"Understood."

"Alright, now let's test your singing abilities."

"What do you want me to sing?"

"Can you sing in notes?"

"Yes."

"Then let's begin."

Ikuto put my hands and voice through hell. I couldn't speak after he was through with me.

"Good work, Strawberry!" Ikuto ruffled my hair. "Well, it's getting pretty late. Shall I walk you home?"

I smiled and nodded eagerly.

Ikuto offered me his arm and opened the door for me.

"After you~"

I bowed my head to him and we walked out together.

The whole day I was happier than I could have imagined considering the events. Ikuto yet again surprised to me and showed me a whole new leaf. This side of Ikuto was aware of others and wanted to have others smile. This side of Ikuto was probably my favorite. I wanted to say thank you, but my voice was still failing me.

"What is it?"

How could I get it across?

"Is something wrong?"

Is shook my head.

"Do you need to tell me something?"

I nodded vigorously.

"Do you have your phone?"

I shook my head. I had left it at home, when Ikuto grabbed me, I didn't have a chance to grab my purse.

"Here." He handed me his phone.

I unlocked it and was faced with the passcode. Ikuto whispered it in my ear and I was happy to know how much he trusted me.

I typed a note and watched him read it. All I wrote was:

Thank you so much for today. I really look forward to spending more afternoons with you. Let's do our best to win the music competition, ok? I promise I won't give up!

"You're unbelievable."

"…"

"Saying such things.." Ikuto smirked and held my face between his hands.

"You won't refuse me will you?" Ikuto looked me in the eyes directly.

I didn't do anything. I didn't know what I wanted to do. So many things were stirring inside me! So many feelings and longings. Ikuto kissed me and I kissed back. I hugged him closer and held tightly to his shirt. Was this only because I felt lonely? Or was I kissing Ikuto because I liked him? Ikuto pulled away first and kissed my forehead.

"Ugh…how am I suppose to handle myself around you."

I tilted my head to the side in confusion.

"Don't act cute. I can't promise that I'll always hold back."

Hold back?

"Hmph. Maybe I'll just keep you cornered?" Ikuto asked himself putting both hands against the wall at either side of my head. I was trapped.

"Did I scare you?" He smirked.

I shook my head.

"Good."

Then he left our position and walked me the rest of the way home in a silent manner.

"Good night, Amu."

I wished I could tell him good night.

"Don't worry. I know you're saying 'good night', too."

I smiled and hugged Ikuto one last time.

"Heh, don't get used to doing that."

He left and I walked inside. When I got to my little corner of the Hinamori world, I found Mateo waiting for me at my porch.

I'm sorry for the lack of choices guys :
