Author's Notes: For those who have waited patiently for the next update, thanks a lot. Just like what I have said, I have writer's block. But like what I had promised, I will definitely finish the story. For this chapter, it would be up to you if you like this or not.
Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara. But I have dreamed twice that I did.
Today has been pretty confusing, it took a lot of energy from me! I want to rest! Though that's what Amu was feeling, she couldn't sleep because of all the unexpected things that happened today. First, she and Ikuto accidentally kissed. Next, Tadase and Kairi are both trying to have her. Again. Third, her best friend Nagihiko has feelings for her other best friend, Rima. And to add one more, her mom told her weird and creepy things. It seems that nothing normal has happened for today. Let's just say that the 'little' scene she had with Ikuto disturbed her. A lot. After a few hours of thinking things over and over, she decided to just give up and went straight to bed once again. But even though she still tried to get to sleep, she can't force herself to. She decided to roam around her room to find something to distract her for a while. She sat on her chair near the bookshelf and grabbed a manga. She got Moe Kare. That's when she remembered that she wasn't able to finish the story after Yaya had disturbed her. (a/n: from chapter 3) She merely remember the story that's why she decided to start it from the beginning. She really enjoyed reading and was completely distracted. Thanks to the manga, she was able to refrain herself from thinking all the things that disturbed her a while ago. And this time, she made sure that her phone wouldn't disturb her. She's really willing to finish the story up to the end. But since Amu is still human, no matter how many times she tried, the sleeping sensation came through her. She slowly fell asleep, while placing the book at the other side of the bed.
knock! knock!
Knock! Knock!
KNOCK! KNOCK! This caused Amu to wake up from her sleep. She was really irritated because she was sleeping peacefully, and then somebody tries to wake her up
"Coming!" Amu shouted, irritation definitely obvious in her voice.
"Ohayo, Amu-sama. Gomene, it seems that I woke you up." Their maid, Suu apologetically told Amu.
"It's alright, Suu. What do you want? It must be urgent."
"Utau-sama said that you have to be at the concert by 4, because she will introduce you to somebody."
"Is that so? Did she tell you where the concert is taking place?"
"Oh, she said that for other details, you could ask your dad."
"Thanks. And by the way, is breakfast ready?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I'll be down in a minute."Amu replied and slowly closed the door. She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Who would want to eat while their teeth stinks? Afterwards, she headed downstairs and went straight to the dining room. She saw Ikuto sitting and was already eating his breakfast. She didn't mind him and took a sit at the farthest part possible from Ikuto. Suu prepared the food for her already so she didn't have to bother prepare it herself. She slowly took a bite of sandwich and took a sip of water. Once she finished the whole sandwich, she prepared herself to stand up but she suddenly remembered to tell Ikuto that they have to go to the concert together. Well, once she looked at where Ikuto was supposed to be sitting, he was already gone. She shrugged her shoulders and stood up. She was about to ask the maids where Ikuto was but Ikuto himself touched her from behind.
"Amu, Utau-koi told me that we should go to her concert together." Right. It seems she didn't have to tell Ikuto that they have to go together, because Ikuto knew it by himself.
"I see." She answered and then finally noticed that Ikuto add –koi at her mother's name. She was about to ask something about it but then Ikuto told her something.
"You should start preparing or else we wouldn't reach there by four."
"Oh, you're right." Amu was feeling self-conscious and can only manage to say few words. Ikuto noticed this and started to step forward.
"Amu, did you miss me?"
"HUH? Why would I miss you? You're always here at home."
"Oh, I didn't mean it like that. You know, my hugs and kisses."
"Ikuto… What… What are you talking about?"
Ikuto didn't say anything but he just stepped closer and closer to Amu. On the other hand, Amu started to step back, while still facing him. She didn't notice but she was already leaning against the wall.
"This. This is what I was talking about." Ikuto said while locking Amu in place by stretching his hands forward to Amu so she wouldn't be able to escape.
"Ikuto. Stop it."
"Tell me you hate it, then I will stop."
"I… I…"
"You?" Amu wanted to say that she hates it but can't bring herself to. Does she really want Ikuto to do this? Although she knows that she doesn't, does a little bit of her heart loves this? Ikuto started to lean his face closer to Amu. Amu closed her eyes shut. As she didn't feel the presence of Ikuto's hands anymore, she opened her eyes. She saw Ikuto lying on the ground.
"Ikuto! Ikuto! Are you alright?" But Ikuto didn't respond. After a few seconds, she heard giggles, followed by laughter.
"Hahaha!!! Amu! Your reaction was really priceless! What did you think I was going to do back then?"
"I… I thought you would… Grr! It's your fault if I thought of something awkward! Your actions were... different than usual!"
"I'm sorry, I just feel like teasing you."
"But that's quite rude!"
"Did you feel scared?" Ikuto said, now with a serious expression in his face.
"No. Just angry." Amu honestly responded.
"I'm glad. But even though you weren't scared, let me tell you this. You don't really have to worry because my romantic kisses are only meant for your mom. I could only share you fatherly hugs and kiss."
"I know that! I'll go! I have to prepare now."
"Hahaha. But honestly, your reaction was really priceless. Don't forget, I was just fooling around, so you don't have to worry, okay?"
"I said I know!" Amu hurried to her room. She didn't think much about the incident because she knows that Ikuto was just joking about it. But she felt a sting on her chest, and a part of her wants to cry. It feels like, she really wanted Ikuto to kiss her. She felt a little envious to her mother who happens to be the only who deserve his romantic kisses. As she was preparing herself about everything, tears silently form from her eyes.
Ikuto's POV:
I was actually about to kiss her. Good thing I was able to come up with an excuse that I was just fooling around. From now on, I have to control my emotions. I must do everything it takes to be able to keep my perverted side from showing. Well maybe, to prevent my perverted side for kissing and hugging Amu. There's no way I could avoid teasing and making fun of her.
After Amu has done preparing , she went downstairs.(a/n: I'm not in the mood to narrate every single thing Amu does to prepare herself. Just imagine by yourself, I know you can do it. Feel free to imagine anything you want Amu to wear but I prefer a black blouse with white print saying "GOTHIC PRINCESS") Ikuto was already prepared and motioned Amu to go outside. They went outside and they went inside the car, and Ikuto started to drive to Utau's concert.
