Recap:
I held her there and felt the faintest heat spread on my cheeks. It was true. I had fallen for Amu…and I had fallen hard. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders as she came closer to my chest. I sighed, content.
But the question was…what was I going to do next?
Chapter Eleven:
Falling in Love or Falling Hard?
Amu's POV
I woke up to an overwhelming warmth. It was nice though, the warmth was almost like sleeping in blankets pulled right out of the drying on a cold day. I snuggled up closer, only to feel it move as well. My eyes popped open.
I looked up and sure enough, Ikuto was there. I staggered back, hitting the wall as his sleeping face was buried into the pillow. My heart was going crazy as last night's events suddenly returned.
I was about to kick Ikuto off the bed, annoyed that he took advantage of me last night. I was TIRED! And it was dark. How can he do that to me?!?! I got closer, already pushing at his chest as he pulled me into a hug. My mouth opened in a gasp.
"Iku-!" I began to yell only to see that he was still sleeping. I rolled my eyes, trying to struggle out of his arms without waking him up.
That's when I saw it.
I was shocked again, the third time this morning to see an egg laying on the bed between us. I blinked, checking to make sure it was real.
I stared at the egg, curious and confused as I lightly rubbed my index finger against the surface. It was warm, just as my other eggs had been. Would it hatch soon?!
Ikuto stired again, this time his head lowering and getting closer to the egg. I grab it, almost in a fearful way and rushed over to the bathroom.
I stared at the egg, examining it. Who's egg was this?! Mine or Ikuto's?!
Could I really have a fourth egg? Would I even be the joker anymore?! Is Ikuto suddenly wanting to be someone else?!
I glance back at the egg and sigh, laughing nervously. I was being so stupid! This IS my egg! How do I know? It has the same pattern as my others. That should be proof enough. It was yellow with diamonds across the center. A black line went behind the row of diamonds and a black line pattern went around the whole egg.
I cracked the door open, peeking at Ikuto. He was still sleeping in the bed, his silent breathing barely a hum in the quiet room. What should I do?! Another egg?!
Ikuto's POV
It smelled…different. I sniffed the air, slowly opening my eyes and checked the surroundings. I was in Amu's room…Oh, that's right. I slept with her last night.
I sat up and sniffed again as I identified the strange odor. Character eggs. I frowned.
There shouldn't be any guardian characters here. So why did it reek of them? Maybe Yoru had sunk into the house somehow. I sighed and laid back down, closing my eyes. Where was Amu, anyway?
The bathroom door opened and Amu came out, closing the door. She looked at me, an unreadable look crossing her face. My eyes narrowed.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked and her eyes widened. She looked down. I did the same and regretted it. She was still wearing those pajamas, remembering the alluring smell her flesh gave off. I ripped my eyes off of her and looked up at the ceiling. This was going to take a while to get used to.
"Did you see Yoru?" I asked, still looking up. I heard Amu give a small, huh?
"Yoru. I can smell a character egg. I think he may have followed me here." I sat up and concentrated on looking at Amu's face. It suddenly became a look of happiness. "Or…it could be one of your eggs." I added.
"Um, it was Yoru! I think I did see him! But then I shooed him out. He'll be gone…for a while." She said and gave a strange laugh. I raised an eyebrow.
"W-Well, I have to get ready! Now, go you pervert!" She yelled, pushing me out the door and slamming it. I was left alone in the hallway. I sighed, shaking my head.
I have absolutely no idea what draws me to that girl.
Amu's POV
I left out a sigh of relief and picked up the pile of clothes to wear. I had a red, small v neck shirt that went up to my elbows and a long pocket at the bottom that went across my lower belly. The shirt had a hood in the back and black lace on the side, along with a black undershirt to go with the somewhat see through top.
I also had short dark jean shorts and black and red thigh high socks, along with my black high tops to complete the outfit. I brushed my teeth and then hair, placing an x clip up on my high pony tail, which was falling toward the back left side.
I looked back at the unmoved egg. It had no sign of hatching or even making character changes. I wondered what this one would look like.
I placed it in the bathroom, putting it on a small towel that was in a straw basket. I glanced at it once more and left the room.
I came down the stairs to see Ikuto laying on the couch, randomly clicking on channels every two seconds. I felt annoyed that the cat boy was being lazy, when he should be doing something in this house…
Wait a minute. That sounded wrong. The only thing he has to do here is give me passion, and I definitely don't want THAT! What made me think differently just now???
I shook my thoughts and walked up to the bored Ikuto. I glared, looking down at him. He wore black jeans and a black shirt with a strange fire like design in the center that was a red color. I couldn't help, but think that we had been dressed to match.
"Hey." I called, lightly kicking under the couch with my right foot. The furniture moved an inch back as Ikuto peeked up at me, somewhat tired. He looked in no mood to do anything. Perfect.
I thought of some possibilities, what should I do now? But my mind was empty and I felt drained out of ideas. I can't do this! I'm not a passionate kind of person!
Then…why not change?
Huh? I thought as my eyes narrowed, bewildered. That sounded like a character change was about to come. CRAP! The egg!
From a girl who isn't passionate…to a girl who is passionate. Character Change!
I only had a few seconds to back away from Ikuto. But it didn't help. The moment I changed I ran up to the cat boy and jumped onto the couch, right on top of him. The couch jolted, along with a confused Ikuto who stared at me as if I had three heads popping out from my body. I ignored it, and smiled seductively.
NO, NO! I can't control myself! When will this character change end?! I'm…smiling seductively?! NOO! When have I EVER wanted to be seductive?!
My arms rested to the side of his head as my legs were on either side of his waist. My smile was still in place as I went lower, closer to Ikuto's face. Then…I slowly, SLOWLY, licked his left cheek.
I wanted to KILL myself right now! What kind of character is this?! When did I require the skill to be passionate anyway?!
I licked his cheek again, letting my tongue roam against the softness of the flesh, how smooth and warm his cheek felt. Then again, closer to his ear now only to hear him moan in pleasure. I felt my eye twitch, only to be shocked out of the character change. My face began to heat up, as I stayed still, frozen.
Then I fell off the couch.
Only, by doing this Ikuto had ended up on top of me, staring down at me incredibly. My eyes were wide in fear and…anticipation? No, No, must still have that character inside me. I began to sit up, but a hand pushed me back to the ground lightly, so only a small thump was heard.
I stared up at Ikuto and could only think of how this was going to end. God, he's going to RAPE ME! I'm going to lose it now, and everyone is going to hate me! But, but I don't want to! No, no not now. Not with him!
As I had this silent battle, roaming around in my head I hadn't noticed Ikuto, who had intertwined over fingers together. He was now composed, smirking down at me with a wicked glint in his eyes. I felt vulnerable.
"So, you really want to win this bet, huh?" Ikuto asked as he came down closer, making my heart pound and my chest hurt. Hadn't he noticed it wasn't in my character to do that? Even if I had wanted to I wouldn't have been so…so…calm about it.
Ikuto came down lower as I shut my eyes, waiting for what I knew would destroy me forever. Sex was not where I wanted to take this. Ever.
A faint chuckle sounded and I opened my eyes. Ikuto suddenly let go of my hands and stood up, laughing harder now. I glared, feeling a little nauseous about what had just happened.
"You should have seen your face! It looked like you thought I was going to rape you or something." He laughed and I glared, looking down at the ground as pink flooded to my cheeks.
"S-Shut up!" I yelled, pursing my lips. He stopped for a second as I stood up.
"Did you want me to do that? I mean, you did go a little crazy there on the couch. For a second, I almost took you seriously." He stated as my eyes widened. That's right…I…licked…him…
"Y-You're the one who groaned, you idiot!" I screamed, waving my arms around in anger.
"Sure, we'll talk about this later. Right now, your purple headed friend wants us to go to the mall and shop around. I have a feeling she's trying to set us up or something." Ikuto stated, holding up the white note.
Nadeshiko was…setting us up?
The thought lingered in my head, but I brushed it off and began to laugh. "Yeah, I'm sure Nadeshiko wants us to date, huh?" I asked Ikuto, grabbing the note from him and staring at his face.
A thought crossed his eyes, but disappeared before I could figure it out. He smirked again and wrapped me in his arms.
"Why, do you want to be a couple, Amu-koi?" He teased and I pushed him off. I started to read the note.
Please use the money and go shopping today. You've both earned it. The same rules apply at the mall, so be on your toes, okay?
-Nadeshiko
"Be on your toes?" I asked aloud, confused by the statement. What's that supposed to mean, anyway?
"Well, Amu-koi. Let's go." Ikuto called as I set down the note. Ikuto opened the door and locked it, grabbing my hand and pulling me forward. I flushed.
"W-What are you doing?" I asked, struggling to snatch my hand back, but his grip was firm.
"What does it look like? I'm earning some points." He stated as he rubbed his thumb against my knuckles. I hope my hand isn't sweaty.
"B-But someone will get the wrong idea! This is the mall we're going to!" I pointed out, hoping he'd release my hand.
"Then let them. We're already sleeping together, right?" He smirked at me and I glared, but not before my cheeks began to burn.
^-^
"NO! I'm not gonna!!!" I complained, crossing my arms.
Ikuto waited, sighing at my stubborn attitude. "Just come in, Amu. It won't kill you, will it?" He asked and I shook my head. It would kill my dignity!
I stood there as arms wrapped around my waist and I was pulled up over Ikuto's shoulder. For a moment, I was confused as I stared down at the ground, but began to pound on his back.
"Let me go!" I ordered to the teen boy. A few people stared at us, but most were too busy with their own lives to really care. Ikuto drew back the curtain and sat on the ledge, placing me on his lap.
"W-Why am I on your lap, baka?!" I yelled, struggling yet again. Ikuto held my arms to my sides and looked forward.
"Look at the camera, Amu-koi." He breathed into my ear as my face turned red again. A clicking sound happened and I looked at the picture in front of us. My face was flushed and in shock as Ikuto smirked, his lips closer to my ear than I thought.
"Stupid! This picture doesn't look right!" I pointed out and he sighed again.
"It would look okay if you'd just stop fidgeting." He answered and I turned to his face, glaring. It was only a few inches away from my own. Click!
I groaned in annoyance as another bad picture was taken. One where we were too close. I gave another sour look.
"I don't think this is working. Why are we taking pictures in this photo booth anyway?" I asked, turning to him only to have his lips pressed to mine. That familiar indescribable taste touched my mouth as my head began to swim.
Click!
"AHHH! You did that on purpose, you baka!" I yelled, swinging my arms and legs around again.
"Just one more, Amu. Stay still." He ordered and I sighed, giving up.
"One more picture!" I said and looked at the camera.
"Smile." Ikuto stated and I did.
Click!
The last picture wasn't bad at all. It looked…cute almost. We were both smiling at the camera with Ikuto's arms wrapped around me. We looked like a real couple. Happy and content.
Ikuto started pushing buttons revealing what choices we had. He decided on just regular color and looked at the backgrounds.
There were balloons on one and a paw print on another. That would have fit Ikuto well. He continued looking passing the Wanted one and Best friends.
"What are you getting?" I asked as I looked at the screen above. His hand lingered on one, saying Me and My Master and clicked it.
"Pervert! What was that?!" I asked, as he smirked and walked out. The pictures came out, two sets of the four.
"Here." Ikuto handed me one. "It only seems right. Especially when I win this bet." Ikuto said confidently and I stuck my tongue out.
"In your dreams!" I said and turned, looking down at the pictures. In the kiss one I was surprised that my eyes were closed. I guess I did that self-consciously.
"Come on, perverted kid. Its time to eat." Ikuto stated, grabbing my hand yet again. I rolled my eyes, but smiled, happy with the gesture.
We came into an ice cream shop and I looked up at all the flavors. Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, sherbert, rocky road, etc. There were so many to choose from!
A lady in her early twenties came up to us and smiled sweetly. "Aww. Are you two going out?" She asked.
"Yes." Ikuto said as I yelled out a "NO." She looked at us, confused now.
"She's in denial." Ikuto stated, wrapping his arms around me and placing his head on my head.
"I-I'm not in denial! Do I look like I'm in denial?!" I asked, waving my arms around again. The woman chuckled.
"How cute, so what'll you have?" She asked.
"A scoop of strawberry and chocolate in a cone, please." Ikuto stated as I still tried to struggle out of his arms.
"W-What?! I'm not sharing my ice cream with you!" I yelled, shoving him away by a few inches.
"But that's all the money I have." Ikuto pouted and I looked at his new found expression. So…cute…GAH! What am I thinking at a time like this?!
"T-Then eat it yourself!" I ordered, looking away and staring at the flavors again. The lady came back and handed the cone to Ikuto, along with a napkin.
"Here you go, I hope you two enjoy!" The lady said and winked. I blushed, embarrassed and humiliated all at once.
"We're not a couple!" I yelled as everyone looked at us strangely. My cheeks heated up more and I looked at the ground, avoiding eye contact. Ikuto grabbed my hand and led me out of the store.
"You sure are defensive about this whole dating thing." He stated, taking a lick of ice cream and holding it out to me. I pushed it away.
"That's because you act like its nothing at all! And you said we were a couple!" I answered, my hands coming above my head.
"We are a couple." Ikuto stated and looked forward. I stared at him, wide eyed. Ikuto…and…I?
"We're a couple of kids." He added as I realized what just happened.
"Stop teasing me!!!" I yelled, walking faster through the outdoor mall. Ikuto easily caught up.
"Aw, did you really want us to be going out, Amu-koi?" He teased and I growled.
"Of course not, stupid!" I said and swung my hand back. It made a squishing sound. I turned back confused to see Ikuto's ice cream cone pushed into his nose as it dripped down his face.
"S-Sorry." I called and burst out laughing. He glared and pulled the cone out, revealing brown and pink falling from all over his face. I continued to laugh, clutching my sides.
"Y-You look like some sort of…clown or something. That's sooo not cool." I breathed out, gasping for air as an irritated Ikuto tossed the ice cream in a nearby trash can and stalked toward me. I backed up.
"L-Let's not be hasty now, Ikuto." I stated as he came closer and grabbed me.
"If you like it so much, why not taste it?" He asked and leaned down, giving me a sloppy and sticky kiss. Though, I'm pretty sure it was the ice cream that made it this way.
I tasted the strawberry first, a fresh taste of it filling my mouth, then the irresistible chocolate. He pulled back and smirked, beginning to laugh himself.
I looked into the glass window of a shop. My face was now covered in ice cream as well, running by my cheeks and chin. I glared up at Ikuto, but began to laugh as well. We looked ridiculous.
"I'm…really…sorry." I spoke between giggles. Ikuto laughed and shook his head.
"Its alright, I'm sorry for getting some all over your face. Here, I'll help you clean up." He leaned down and began to lick my cheeks.
"IKUTO! This is NOT sanitary and gross! Let go!" I demanded, still laughing as he continued to lick my cheeks clean. I eventually pushed him away, and crossed my arms, flushing as always, but a smile was on my lips.
"G-Go wash up in the bathroom!" I said before running to the women's room. No one was there as I relaxed.
I walked over to the sink and began to wipe my face with soap and water, getting rid of not just the ice cream, but Ikuto's salvia. Despite how angry I was with him licking my cheeks and kissing me again, despite the fact that I was supposed to be furious with him for everything, I smiled.
Because that moment we had, of just being friends and laughing at ourselves was enough to tell how close we really were. That we really were a bunch of kids having fun together, the way it should be. The way it always was.
I walked out, my face a little wet since the mall decided to go green with no tissue to use. I found Ikuto by the door and ran up to him, patting his back.
"Hey buddy!" I called out, extremely happy. What I saw shocked me more than anything I'd ever seen so far.
Ikuto was standing there as a girl was pushed against him, giving him one, hot kiss.
Amu: *Wet with slobber. FINALLY! Now, ShellyCullen has an AUTHOR'S NOTE for you reviewers!
Amu: NO!! Amu, it's too early! Don't tell them now! And sorry there wasn't much Rima and Nagihiko in this chapter. I'm focusing on Amuto right now.
Ikuto: Well, focus on this. Tell them. Or I'll be forced to torture you. *Smirks.
ShellyCullen: Uh, eww. I may like you Ikuto, but I'm not a boy crazy kind of girl. 'God, he's hot! But NO! He's Amu's. Must…not…'
Ikuto: Who said anything about that?*Takes out Barney movies.
ShellyCullen: NO! NO! Not THAT! Scary…too much! I'm already strapped to this stupid chair!
Amu: Now, tell them. Or I'll use my secret weapon. *Takes out picture of Tadase wearing a skirt and coconut bikini top.
ShellyCullen: O.O
Ikuto: She's frozen.
Amu: No she's not. Look. *Places bug on Shelly.
ShellyCullen: O.O
Amu: Crap, she is! *Sigh. And you know what?! She's distracting us right now! With this whole long chat! Ikuto, just tell the readers. Before they die of boredom.
Ikuto: Alright. ShellyCullen is going on vacation from August 7th to August 14th. So she will not be updating anything that whole week. Now give me a kiss.
Amu: That's righ- WHAT?! NO! You pervert.
Ikuto: Do it, or else it's the torture for you, too!
Amu: Barney doesn't scare me.
Ikuto: Who said anything about Barney? *Licks his lips.
Amu: Holy-!
