-I do not own anything-
You can still vote for any story. I don't even care if you vote again. That just means I get more reviews. My mother has lifted her demonic reign just lightly, but she made this new rule that I have to be off my laptop during school days. To enforce this, she takes my laptop.
It was raining just like the other day, but it was different without the blue haired man at her side. Her pain felt as if someone had plunged their heart and separated her heart from her body with quick, accurate, and ruthless movements. There was no pleasant thought ran across her mind. All she felt was the chilly empty feeling within her body.
In the cold rain, Amu roamed the city without any kind of protection from the rain. The rain would have been an excellent cover for her tears… but she couldn't allow herself to cry.
"What right do I have to cry over this? We were never dating... I was out of his league anyway," She deprecated herself by her thoughts.
Once the thought began impending on her even more, she bumped into someone. Amu and the stranger had both fallen onto the ground due to the impact. Amu couldn't hold back her tears any longer. The tears just streamed down her face as she sat on the floor.
"Oh, I'm so- Did I hurt you that bad? Here, I know what'll cheer you up," the female stranger grabbed hold of her hand, pulling her up and leading her to the nearby ramen store.
"Oh, Good evening, Utau-chan, who's your friend?" The ramen store owner bellowed at her. There was no one in the small store except the two women and the staff.
"Hey, what's your name, kid?" Taking off her hat and sunglasses, the blonde asked the identity of the stranger.
"A-Amu, Hinamori Amu," She half bowed. Amu was nervous since her idol, Hoshina Utau, was standing in front of her.
"You heard her- Wait, you're the new member to Embryo," The international celebrity laughed, sitting on one of the stools.
"N-Not n-n-necessarily, I'm just a-a candidate," The flushed newcomer was flailing her arms, tongue-tied.
"The contest is just something to rouse fans. That Santa Claus wouldn't be in showbiz if it weren't for her doting, rich father. Sit down," Utau patted at the seat next to her.
"What would you like today?" The shop owner asked his VIP customer.
"I'll have a normal ramen bowl, and you?" She turned to the pinkette.
"I'll just have whatever Hoshina-san is having," Amu gave a smile, shy smile.
"Sure thing," He disappeared behind the curtain to the kitchen.
"Well, how's your love life goin' so far?" Utau casually asked, taking a sip from her water.
"H-H-Hoshina-san, a-are you really interested i-in wh-what I do?" Amu couldn't take in the question.
"Drop the formalities. Aren't we friends?" She nudged the blubbering fool.
"W-W-W-When-"
"Then you don't want?" She pouted with a depressing aura around her.
"Of course not! I would love to be your friend!" Amu declared, shooting up with her hand above her heart.
"Great, we're friends!" Changing entirely, Utau grinned at the naïve girl. "So tell me about your love life."
"I feel somewhat cheated," Amu sat back down, sulking.
"Well, whatever, just tell me already. He won't tell me anything," Utau mumbled the last part.
"Pardon?" That murmur left Amu puzzled.
"Nothing, just talking about you love life," She quickly covered it up.
"Well, it's not something to be proud of," The younger female cast her eyes down to her glass.
"C'mon, friends can tell anything to each other," Utau pressed towards the matter.
"… How many female's love life's started. There was this guy. My first impression about him was the dreadful, but gradually, the negative feelings simmered down and grew to be a burning sensation known as love. Yesterday, he kissed me in the rain. I felt as if I was melting, but I guess he wasn't. Today, he rejected me, telling me there was another girl. I walked around the city to gather my thoughts, and you found me. I tried hard not to cry, but once I came back to reality, I couldn't hold back. Now, this is where it leaves off. It's an unrequited love," By the end of her explanation, the tears shone clear on her face.
"Then go and grab your man," Utau blatantly answered her story.
"If I grab him, I always picture him with sad… Because if I take him from someone who he loves, wouldn't that just be the same as me making him go through what I am going through right now?" She gritted her teeth.
"I get it, but with that look on your face, how do you expect me to not feel guilty?" The blonde sighed in frustration.
"Sorry," Amu apologized with a timid voice.
"Seriously, you should just do whatever you have to do and not care about others," She advised. "But I heavily doubt that you'll take my advice."
"Since you're my idol, I'll consider it," The pinkette smiled at her.
"I don't know if I should be happy or not," Utau mused.
"Here is your ramen!" The man came out from the kitchen.
Meanwhile at a bar
"Man, what are you doing here? You're going to be wasted!" Kukai grabbed the beer from his blue haired friend's hands.
"Why do you think I'm even here?" Ikuto grumbled. "Whatever. Give me another beer! Hey, bartender!"
"I've already paid him enough money not to give you any more beer," Nagihiko appeared with a blonde at his side.
Aggravated that his beer was taken away, Ikuto punched Nagihiko straight in the jaw.
"Nagi! What do you think you're doing, jerk?!" The petite blonde stood up against the tall man.
"Get out of the way, midget!" He pushed her aside quite roughly enough to get Nagi enraged.
"What are you doing to my girlfriend?!" He threw a hit to Ikuto's stomach.
"Wait, guys! Let's just handle this later!" Kukai, the pacifist, tried to negotiate things, but things weren't going that way.
"Even if Amu dumped you, that doesn't mean that you can just hurt my girlfriend. You might be going through some turmoil, but your turmoil's just frustrating us. We're the ones who have to take care of you," Nagi yelled at him.
"Wow, I feel so loved," Ikuto replied sarcastically. Now everybody was paying attention to the famous group of people in the room.
"Guys, c'mon, let's just go home," Kukai didn't know how to stop this raging fight.
"Amu, would be ashamed to see you like this?"Nagi shook his head in disapproval. Enraged, Ikuto was ready to punch him, but the midget stood in front of Nagi with her arms spread, stopping him.
"Amu, Amu, Amu. That's all your thinking about, right? I heard what happened. She didn't like you the way you wanted her, but why didn't you just make her love you? Did you even try to stop her?" Rima yelled at him.
"I'm going home. What a waste of time," Ikuto walked out of the building, grabbing someone's drink and chugging it down.
"You're just running away," Kukai whispered in his ear as Ikuto passed him.
Ikuto stormed out. Even though many fans knew who he was, they were too scared to approach him. He could see a pink blob just a few meters away.
"Bye," The pink blob waved at the black care. Once the vehicle had driven away, she began walking towards Ikuto's way. She didn't even notice when she had just passed him. She finally noticed when weight had leaned on her.
"Amu…" That familiar husky voice breathed into her ear as his head lay on her head and his arms wrapped around her neck from behind.
"Ikuto..." Her hand touched those arms that belonged to the only person who enraptured her as he did.
