I groan inwardly as I watch Tadase laugh pleasantly with Amu at lunch; he invited her before I got the chance to do so. I glower at him angrily, plotting the evil schemes within my head. Not really evil schemes, more likely to be how to get her away from him. Oblivious to my surroundings, I vaguely noticed just now that Kukai is staring at me intently.
"What is it." I say while scooting away, as our faces are only a breathing's distance away. "You're jealous aren't you." He says while obviously feeling superior and confident. "No where did you get that idea?" I say while giving him a dumbfounded look. "Yeah right. Don't give me that bull shit. You and I both know that you like that new girl Amu. So I know damn well that you're lying. Nice try though." He says while putting on a cheeky smile. I just briefly glare at him for a slight second, then look away while I blush about the sincerity of his observation. I've come to hate how he always can tell when I am lying. Hence the reason I never even try to do so.
"I know what to do. Don't worry, but you might want to duck, and take Amu once I give you the signal. You'll know when you need to." he whispers in my ear. "Food Fight!" He yells while throwing a big piece of spaghetti on Tadase's head. A whole bunch of food is flying everywhere, and so I take advantage of this opportunity and sneak over to where Amu is. I stare at her to see if she's disgusted, or joining in on the fun. It would be none other than she's disgusted.
I swiftly bend down, and tap her lightly. She turns quickly to see me, and gives me a priceless confused look within her face.
"Come with me, and we can eat somewhere else. In the meantime, your boyfriend's going to get covered in food while throwing a temper tantrum. There's other places that are quieter and more peaceful. I know a shady tree that has just enough sunlight, so you won't get too cold. Want to come with me?" I say while smirking. "Sure." Her face turns several colors of pink and red as she grabs my hand and we manage to make it to the shady tree. "Wow! You're right! This is perfect!" She says while enjoying the view. There's an area of grass (big), and then it continues into a sidewalk, then a wall so you can see most of the city. That would be what, and where she's looking at now.
"Every once and awhile I'll come here to play my violin if it gets too rowdy. There's a lot of room here too, and it's quiet." I say with a smug look on my face. I make a reminder in my head to quickly thank Kukai later on. I wonder if he got in trouble. I hope he didn't. Then it'd be all my fault. Well maybe not all of my fault, but for the most part it would.
"So you play the violin eh? That's cool." She says with a bright smile on her face. "Yep, and I'm assuming you sing." You incompetent idiot, you completely blew your cover. "Yeah how did you know?" Uh-oh. "I don't know sometimes you can just tell that someone likes doing something, by looking at them." I say cleverly. "Oh I see. So I make my own songs, do you make your own too?" Her face looks so captivated, and happy. I hope in the future, she won't be upset because of me. I'll never forgive myself if it's my wrongdoing.
"Yeah." I say while sitting down under the tree since we're still standing for some strange reason. She joins me and I look closely at her. Her personality is so different than I expected. Actually, it's better this way. "It definitely does feel good here." she says with a cheerful smile. "Where exactly is 'here'." I say seductively. "H-Ha ha very funny." Her face is so cute, and red. I love when this happens to her. "You look so red, are you feeling sick? Should I bring you to the doctor?" I tease her. "I-I don't think so." Am I bothering her? I don't think so because otherwise she would have left from irritation right? While she's looking away due to embarrassment, I decide to text Kukai. I successfully send it to him. "I'm fine." Her gaze finally returned to me. "Really?" I say while sticking my tongue out playfully. She's so fun to tease. This can become one of my new hobbies, to tease Amu, it's so fun you should try it.
I begin to crack up laughing. "Hey what's so funny?" She says while staring at me with confusion. "N-Nothing." I stammer while still laughing more at her reactions to all my comments. It's hilarious, truly magnificent. The whole teasing part is so entertaining. "Hey?" She says while trying to get me to return to the universe. "Nothing you're just so fun to tease. It should become like my hobby. It's like someone asks me and I say: 'I play the violin and I tease Amu. You should try teasing. It's funny to see how cute she is when her face turns various colors of Red and Pink.'." I say while still chuckling slightly. She then looks at me in a strange way and starts bursting out laughing. "W-Why on Earth would you say such a silly thing!" It's truly gorgeous when she laughs. "I don't know, that was only if I really wanted them to know." I say while sticking my tongue out playfully again.
"Just kidding again." It's so interesting how she laughs like a little child. But it's also adorable.
I'm so allured to her when she's near me. I'm afraid I'll do something too suddenly, such as embracing her or something. I know the consequences too well though. She'd ask me why exactly I'm hugging her, then I'll be unable to answer her question.
"Ikuto?" Amu says while coming really close toward my face. Gosh darn it, when she comes closer it makes me want to kiss her. "Yeah?" I say while looking away. "Oh nothing, it's just because all of a sudden you got really quiet. So I thought something was wrong." She was worried about me. I smirk and she gives me a confused look once again. "No I am fine. It's much more quiet here than over there. I wonder when Tadag- I mean Tadase is going to find us?" I say while giving a sheepish smile. "What were you about to say?" shit, I can't tell her what I was about to say. "Well let's just say, I don't really like Tadase that much." I guess that's all I could have said. Otherwise she might get mad. "Why is that? And you still didn't answer my original question." uh-oh. "Because he's just a little bit conceited with the position he holds at the school. Also I was about to say Tadagay, that's always what I call him and I have no idea why. I just think it's funny." I hope that wasn't too straightforward. "Oh I see." she has a depressed look on her face.
"What's wrong?" I ask her with a concerned look on my face. "There's nothing wrong. Don't worry." she says while putting on a fake smile, and it's pretty obvious. She looks as if she's going to start crying. Now I am really forcing myself not to cup her delicately gorgeous face. "Amu-Chan?" I hear a girly voice call out. I stare over there, and see Tadase. Great, he found us. "There you are Amu-Chan. You made me worried." he says while coming over to her and smiling. "Do you want to go back now, the food fight is done along with all the cleaning?" I hope she doesn't. "No it's okay. I like it here, it's much more shadier and at the same time warm. It's got a great view, and even better there's a lot of quiet. Right Ikuto?" she says while flashing me a beautiful smile. "Yep." I say while giving a smug look on my face. "Okay, is it alright if I join you two?" he asks politely. "Sure." Amu says with a smile.
For some odd reason, I don't mind Tadase being here. Still however, I wish he wasn't so I could embrace Amu, he'd probably get mad though.
"So what were you two doing while I was gone?" he inquires. "Nothing much, we were just talking about our hobbies, and what not." she looks happier now much to my relief. I didn't want her to be upset the whole day because of me, otherwise I would feel remorseful. "Oh that's cool. So Ikuto you probably told her about how you play the violin right?" wow. "Yep. I also told her how I love teasing her. It's so interesting. Whenever I do so, her cheeks turn various colors of pink and red. You should seriously try it." I say while sticking my tongue out playfully. Tadase starts laughing too along with Amu and I doing the same. "Hah Ikuto I thought you said you actually wouldn't tell someone." Amu says while still laughing. "Yeah but I changed my mind." this is fun. Even though Tadase is ruining our moments together.
The bell finally rings after what seems like forever. That's a good thing though, I got to spend what seemed like forever with Amu. We walk to our classes together (Tadase follows us the first time, but then he soon eventually had to go to his other classes. Thankfully we don't have all our classes together. But to my own relief Amu and I do.
The day ends quicker than I expect it to. Amu walks home with me since she told me that she lives in the house across the street from mine. Quite ironic eh? But I am happy, that means that I can be with her more often.
Until the next chapter reviews please .. Thanks so much everyone. ^^
