Chapter 13 Julie POV
I saw tears dripping down Amu's face as she closed the door, and I was positive Ikuto could see it too.
'A-Amu..!' Ikuto yelled, his eyes widening, one arm outstretched. He was about to run to the door, but I grabbed his hand. Ikuto looked back at me with a confused expression, like 'what are you doing? Let go!'.
'Julie.. can you please le-' he started to say.
'No! I... I won't let go!,' I screamed, 'Why? Why does it always have to be Amu? Why can't you look at me instead? What does Amu have that I don't have? Is it money? Because I can give you money!'
'Julie..' Ikuto said kindly. This is what I wanted, for him to say my name in a nice, kind voice. I squeezed his hand and looked up at him. He had a sad, grim expression on his face. Why does he always have this expression when he's with me? Why does Ikuto only show that happy expression when he's with Amu?
Why does Amu have to get everything? Why why why why why? What does she have that I don't have?
'Amu..,' Ikuto said, 'she.. she's kind, an honest girl. When she smiles, it makes me happy - so I smile as well. She doesn't have money or any kind of advantage...'
I don't understand, why would he like her? Sure, she may be pretty, but what's so special about Amu? What's so special about her that I don't have?
'She has this aura, that makes you want to be with her all the time. She's friendly and lovable. And Amu, she's the kind of girl who puts others before herself.' Ikuto said.
Did he just read my mind? No, that's impossible, right?
I stopped looking at the ground and looked up at Ikuto. He was looking up at the sky, smiling sadly. He startled me because he suddenly turned around and looked at me.
'Do you really like me?' Ikuto asked randomly. He had a serious expression on his face. I nodded my head and turned back to facing the floor.
'I guess it can't be helped then.' I heard Ikuto say. What did he mean by that? Does that mean he'll break loose of my grip on him and run to Amu?
Ikuto took my chin, and made me face him. He pulled me in and have me a quick kiss on the lips.
He.. he kissed me! On the lips! My lips were still tingling. Ikuto's lips... so.. so... warm and soft. My heart skipped a beat... I felt like I was going to just faint and die.
I brought me hand up to my mouth. My face felt hot, it was probably as red as a tomato. I wonder how he felt about the kiss; Was he freaking out as much as I was?
'W-why did you do that?!' I asked him with my hand still over my mouth.
'What? Did you not like it?' he said while smirking.
'N-no, I liked it' I replied quickly, still blushing.
'Then don't question it.' he said.
Why not? I wanted to know why he kissed me. You can't just kiss a person randomly, and then tell them they can't ask. Maybe it's okay with couples, but we didn't really count as a couple. Did we?
Ikuto broke loose of my grip in his wrist and took my hand instead. He lead me away from Kukai's house and together, we walked away. I inwardly jumped for joy.
A/N: I knowwwww this chapter is short! And I am terribly sorry about that! Not really any love scenes (as you can tell, if you read the other chapters - not really heart racing.). I am actually really exited to publish chapters 14-16! I think you'll really like those chapters because they explain more!
