Amu's POV

I heard a squeal behind me as I turned around seeing Rima and Utau fighting over something. I giggled to myself as I watched the two squabble for the pair of gloves. I wasn't really looking for that kind of thing so I wasn't bothered. At the moment, all three of us were in a shop looking for presents for the boys. At first it was only me and Rima together but then we met Utau and this happened. They were drawing attention to themselves as many eyes were now on them. This was how it happened:

Rima stopped at the outside of a shop and peered inside and spotted a pair of gloves. She pulled on my hand as we walked into the shop and straight to where the gloves were lying. She reached her hand out for it the same time as someone else did. They both held it firmly in their grip and glared at each other. They were both shocked to see who had set their eyes on the gloves as well but they forgot that completely.

"Hi Rima, nice to see you here. Mind letting go?" Utau asked sweetly.

Rima raised an eyebrow not giving in to Utau's sweet talk.

"No, sorry. Why don't you let go?" she questioned mimicking Utau's tone of voice.

They stood there silently glaring at each other waiting for the other to let go. But they both began to realise that neither one of them was going to anytime soon. I watched them from the side a little surprised that Utau was in this shop as well. She must be wanting to get it for Kukai. And Rima, she must be wanting to get it for Nagihiko. What was going on with her and Nagihiko these days? Were they going out? I don't think they were. Rima hasn't told me if they are. Utau pulled fiercely on it as Rima pulled back.

"Let go, Utau," Rima ordered.

Utau shook her head, "No, I saw them first!"

Rima laughed snidely at this, which only made Utau more annoyed.

"Ha, that's funny. Cos I swear that I was the one who saw it first. So it's mine."

Utau smirked as the girls shouted at each other pulling at the gloves as all eyes in the shop looked at them. Now we're back to the present. I sighed, this was too silly. I stood in front of them both grabbing the gloves out of both their hands. They stared at me in disbelief.

"Amu!" they shouted.

Now they were really acting like kids. It was funny to watch but enough was enough. Besides, it wasn't like there was only one pair in the whole shop. I had to point that out to them.

"Rima, Utau. There is more than one pair of these," I told them.

They both quietened down as they looked at each other and back at me. Rima sighed flipping her blonde hair behind her back.

"Fine, you have it," she gave the gloves to Utau as Utau stared at them blankly.

She shook her head and gave it back to Rima.

"No, you have it. I insist."

I was getting the feeling this would start another fight again. But I was surprised when Rima smiled at her and held onto the gloves tightly.

"Ok, thanks!" she said perkily.

She walked away from us as she went to the counter. Utau watched her go her mouth open a fraction in shock. She was probably expecting that Rima would have given it back to her. She snorted and folded her arms in annoyance. Rima came back with the gloves in the shopping bag as Utau glared at her.

"You crafty midget," she muttered under her breath but Rima had heard.

Rima smiled slyly but didn't say anything in retort. Instead she just walked away her head high. She stopped and turned around to look at me.

"Amu, have a look around then I'll meet you outside. Bye, Utau," she waved at Utau as she headed out of the shop.

Utau did not say goodbye to Rima and just walked away from me to have a look around. That was what I was supposed to be doing. I had no idea what to get Ikuto though. And thinking about it, anything I give him will probably be an embarassment. I had to buy something special. Something perfect. I walked around the shop as I stopped to look down at something that had caught my eye. I picked up by the chain as it spun around. It came as a set. There was a cross that had a blue outlining and a inner cross inside. The other part was a key with quartz that made it look like a fourleaf clover and a gold part for where the key would go into the lock. The lock. Where was the lock? It was weird that the key did not have a lock with it. I speculated it thinking as I heard a familiar snicker from behind me. I dropped the key and cross as they fell onto the table.

"Looking for a present for me, eh?" he asked smirking.

Why was he here at this point in time? Damn, how unlucky. I spun around as I came face to face to him. And when I say face to face, I mean really face to face. He was so close to me that he surprised. I jumped back smashing into the table. I laughed awkwardly feeling embarassed. I was really hoping he hadn't seen me pick up the cross and key, because I'm thinking of buying it. It wouldn't be a surprise if he knew. I looked around seeing that Kukai and Nagihiko was here too. Utau and Rima had the same look on their faces that I had. I sighed, great timing. Ikuto walked towards me and looked at the table.

"You are aware that Christmas Eve is tomorrow?" he asked me.

I nodded feeling a little uncomfortable with the situation. What was he suggesting? Of course I knew it was tomorrow. I wasn't stupid, I wasn't unaware that our first date was the next day. I had been thinking about that for awhile wondering what Ikuto's surprise date was. I was really hoping it was somewhere we both liked, not just him.

He smirked, "I've already got you yours. So I think it's time for you to buy something."

How was I supposed to buy anything when he was standing right next to me. That was kind of impossible. He's just trying to tease me. Does he want a present? He's getting very close to not getting one.

"Well go away then!" I demanded.

He shook his head a small smirk appearing on his lips. Ok, he isn't going to get one at this rate. Then he surprised me by closing his eyes. I was drawn straight to his eyelashes that were long and somewhat beautiful. He was no longer smirking, his facial expression was blank. He actually did look like he as sleeping. Although I knew he wasn't. I stretched my hand up stepping on my tiptoes to reach up to his eyes. I couldn't help it, I wasn't really thinking of what I was doing. I touched his eyelashes and eyes as they burst open revealing his hypnotising sapphire eyes. I knew now how some people can get lost in the colour of other people's eyes. Especially Ikuto's, his were like looking into the night sky. I stared at him both us silent as Ikuto smacked me on the forehead bringing me back to reality. I glared at him as he chuckled.

"You go buy whatever you want and I'll stay here, eyes closed," he paused, "If you want you can touch my eyes again later."

He winked at me as I gritted my teeth and hit him. He winced shielding himself with his hands from the hints.

"Just close your eyes and don't talk at all!" I ordered.

He did as I requested as I looked back at the table. I peered at him just in case he was actually looking. Fortunately for him he wasn't. I grabbed what I was going to get him as I walked hastily to the counter and paid. The guy at the counter smiled at me giving the bag as I walked back to Ikuto. He still had his eyes closed. A smirk appeared on my face. He can stay like that for a little while longer. I walked to the door where Rima, Utau, Kukai and Nagihiko were waiting.

"Let's go."

Kukai looked inside probably wondering why Ikuto wasn't with me. I could tell he needed an explanation why Ikuto wasn't coming. So I made one up. I opened my mouth to speak when a hand wrapped around my mouth obscuring me from speaking. I sighed annoyed we hadn't gotten away in time.

"Don't think I'm just gonna let you walk off. Silly Amu," he laughed at me as I glared up at him.

He backed away his hand now away from my mouth. He could probably feel the killing intent in the air. Kukai wrapped his hand around Utau's and smiled as he turned back to the look at the rest of us.

"We're going off on our own. See ya guys later!" he waved as we watched the couple walk away.

Rima and Nagihiko stood side by side looking at each other shyly from the corner of their eyes. I knew they wanted to go as well. I sighed.

"Fine, you both can go two," I told them.

Rima gave me a smile as Nagi nodded in appreciation. I was really starting to suspect that those two were keeping the secret of them being together from us. Or maybe they thought it was obvious and didn't bother to tell. I don't know, the only that I should be thinking about is the midnight haired pervert resting his arms on my shoulders. I looked at him as he smirked at me back. What were we going to do now. He leaned in to whisper in my ear.

"Have you told your parents about me yet?" he questioned.

That's the one question I was hoping he wouldn't ask. I wasn't embarassed of him or anything it was the problem about how my family would act. My dad would of course go mental. My mum, on the other hand would be supporting but a little too supporting. I bit my lip hoping he wouldn't notice in my voice that I was lying.

"Yeah, totally," I fibbed.

Ikuto raised an eyebrow in suspicion obviously not believing me at all. I sighed, damn it. Why can't I be better at lying? It seems god did not bestow me the gift of lying. Oh well.

"Amu, you suck at lying," Ikuto snickered.

Well, that was pretty obvious. He took his arms off my shoulders as he held my hand and grinned at me rather cunningly.

"Let's go to your house and tell them," he insisted.

I stared at him shocked. No, no way was he going to meet them now. I'd have to explain to them before hand. Just going in and saying, 'Tsukiyomi Ikuto is my boyfriend,' would be a disaster. Ikuto didn't notice my pleading face and if he did, he chose to ignore it. He dragged me in the direction of my house without another word.

I stood outside my house fiddling with my hair as I watched Ikuto ring the doorbell. I gulped hoping my dad would be okay with this. Ikuto didn't know what my parents were like, he didn't know what he was in for. I heard footsteps as the door slowly opened revealing my mum with Ami cradling in her arms. She had a smile on her face but when she saw Ikuto her face went blank.

And then she screamed.

God, mother. She really knows how to over-react. Ikuto seemed a little taken aback as he turned to me. I shrugged knewing this would happen. I walked in front of him as I stepped inside with Ikuto following behind me. My mum was no longer screaming but she was pointing at him like a crazed fan. Which she kind of was. She let go of Ami as my sister looked up at Ikuto. She stretched her little hands up as Ikuto understood that she wanted to be picked up. He picked her up as she pulled on his hair.

"You are Amu's boyfriend aren't you!" she squealed.

That's what we wanted to say, and it had come out of Ami's mouth. Everyone was silent as we heard loud footsteps from the living room as my dad burst open the door and glared at Ikuto. At first he was surprised that it was Ikuto, the famous singer/violinist, but he left this fact aside and took Ami from Ikuto. He looked at Ikuto and then to me. He then asked the question straightforwardly.

"Are you Amu's boyfriend?" he asked.

Ikuto nodded, "Yeah, erm..."

But Ikuto didn't get to finish his sentence. He really did go crazy like I thought. But if he didn't he wouldn't be my dad.

"Amu why didn't you tell us! Why would you want to go out with him! My baby girl with him! I won't allow it, never!" he screamed pulling me away from Ikuto.

I sighed glaring at Ikuto giving him a look that said, 'now you understand?'. He really did now. He looked kind of stunned and out of it. My dad stood in front of me protectively. My mum put her hand on my dad's shoulder.

"Amu is old enough to have a boyfriend, dear. Actually, it's about time she has one," my mum smiled at him.

What did she mean 'about time'. I folded my arms as my dad stepped back seeming to have given in. He gave Ikuto a warning look as he looked him up and down.

"How old are you?" he asked.

"21," Ikuto answered.

My dad gasped in shock as he looked at my mum, "He's older than Amu! And by five years!"

My mum shook her head, "Just let it go, Tsumugu," she then looked at Ikuto, "It's nice to have you here. Are you staying?"

I looked at Ikuto shaking my head hoping he would get the gist that I didn't want him to stay. He had noticed but he wasn't going to do as I asked. He smirked.

"Sure. Might as well," he accepted my mum's offer and snickered at me.

My dad looked a little upset but he didn't say anything as he walked back into the living room his head hanging low. At least he had accepted it. I glared at Ikuto as he smiled at me.

"You have an interesting family."

I rolled my eyes, "Tell me about it,"

My mum went inside the kitchen as I sat down on a chair near the dinner table as Ikuto sat next to me. It looked like she was cooking some kind of chicken dish. She turned around and sat down on the opposite side of the table. She was grinning widely. I was now wondering whether it was good idea to have sit here. We should have just gone upstairs. She's going to ask really embarassing questions now. It's best to prepare myself for the worst. But I didn't really expect how worse it was going to get.

"So, Ikuto. Can I call you Ikuto?" she asked as he nodded, "You're 21, have you ever thought about marrying some day?"

I gasped at her. I can not believe she just said that. My mouth was wide as Ikuto looked at me becoming amused. He was going to use this to his advantage to tease me. Great. How brilliant. God, now I really wish we had left that shop sooner. He smirked.

"Yeah, hopefully when Amu's left school," he smiled at me.

Just the thought of marrying him made my heart melt. In a weird way, he was being sweet and teasing at the same time. Anything was possible at the moment. My mum smiled at him already beginning to like him. I was hoping that would be the last of it but my mum decided to go further.

"Oooh, how sweet. How many kids will you have?" she enquired.

Oh my god. I gaped at her, she had just taken one step further to embarassing me. My face was already red as a beetroot. Do normal mother's ask their daughter's boyfriend things like that? Probably not, because my mum is damn unique. Damn her uniqueness! Ikuto looked like he was on the verge of the laughter but he was keeping himself composed.

"Probably two. A boy and a girl," he answered.

Although this situation was really embarassing what he had said made me forget about my red face. I turned to him.

"Why a boy and a girl?" I asked him.

He looked at me like the answer was obvious, "The boy would have to be older and the girl younger. It would be so the boy can look after the girl."

Oh, so that was why. But he did know that it didn't work out like that. You couldn't just order the babies. Of course he knew that, he was just insisting on the happening. And why are we planning the future now anyway? Especially with my mum leaning in eagerly to hear every word we say. I think it was better for now to not talk about this, especially when both my parents and my sister are in earshot. I stood up and smiled at my mum.

"We're just going to go upstairs," I whacked Ikuto on his leg as he cringed, "Aren't we Ikuto?"

He stood up abruptly as he glared at me for hitting him so fiercely on the leg. I smiled at him, acting innocent. I didn't let my mother say anymore as I pulled on the sleeve of Ikuto's shirt and hauled him to the stairs and then up. I opened the door as I practically melted on my bed.

"I can not believe we just had that conversation. With my mother!"

The laughter Ikuto had kept subdued for a while finally began to surface as he snickered crossing his legs and falling onto the carpet. It was kind of funny now you thought of it. I joined in with his laughter as we both took a deep breath and stopped. Ikuto was lying on the carpet as I was lying on the bed. We both looked at each other.

"I was serious though. No joke," he said sincerely.

From the look on his face he probably was serious about it. We haven't even been on our first date yet and we were already talking about things like that. But I have known him for quite some time.

"Alright as we are in a serious mood then I'll be serious. I want to marry in a white church," I stated.

Ikuto rolled his eyes and sing-songed, "Boring..."

I threw a pillow at his head as he catched it in his hand. He chucked it back at me as I ducked. I pouted and folded my arms.

"Fine, if you think that's boring then I'll never marry you," I glowered.

Ikuto leaped up from where he was lying on the carpet as he came to sit next to me. I could feel him beside me but I didn't do anything. My back was facing him as I stared at my bedroom wall. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly. That's when I began to take action.

"Let go!" I demanded.

But of course he didn't. Instead he laughed at me, which was pretty rude.

"No, not until you say you want to marry me," he ordered grinning.

I knew very well that he definitely wouldn't let go until I told him that. I sighed giving in, my face was already becoming red of the thought of saying it.

"Fine. I want to marry you," I said quietly, I heard him snicker as I glared at him, "Happy?"

He nodded and smiled, "Yeah, very."

But even though he said he was going to let go after I told him that he still didn't. He actually hugged me tighter. I should have realised that, I was now tricked. He wasn't letting go anytime soon.

"I wish you were the same age as me. So I could take you away and marry you now," he said sweetly.

I turned my head around as amber met sapphire. His eyes were so intent and there was no hint of a smirk at all. He was completely serious. I swear that I have never blushed before as much as I did then. And I know I have blushed a lot around him. But he had just caught me off guard with that comment. I didn't expect him to say something like that. But of course I had to be my normal self and change this awkward atmosphere quick.

"T-To bad we're not," I told him as he nodded in agreement.

That really didn't change it that much. He finally let go of me as he sat up and stared at the wall in front of him. He looked at me and leaned down giving me a light gentle kiss.

"See you tomorrow for our date."

And this time, for once, he actually left through the door.
