Me:: Thanks so much .x for your comment. I do try and please people with my stories~

Ikuto:: Liar.

Amu:: I have to agree with Ikuto on this. You have an amazing talent for writing...

Ikuto:: *sigh* If only she would work this hard on AMV's or any photoshop picture she does

Me:: *winces* Don't tell them that~ D8 Then they know why I'm lazy...

"…Every time that I get around you I see the best of me…" – [Uncle Kracker]

Normal P.O.V.:

Ikuto stopped so there were a couple of feet of distance between the two. Only silent exchanges were made.

"…Ikuto…?" Amu was the first to break the silence.

Ikuto smiled for the first time in a while at Amu, taking in a huge intake of air before setting his hands into the pockets of his jeans.

"There's something I should tell you… so please just listen…" Ikuto spoke as if he had practiced this opening.

Amu stood silent, listening to him explain.

"I'm not sure if you gained these memories back but," sighing, "We've been the best of friends since we were kids… since you moved here. You remember what happened between you, Kukai, Kairi, and Nagihiko, right? Well… after all three of those heartbreaks you always ran to the same place… You would crawl into my bedroom and I would be the one to see you cry… I would be the one to comfort you and then when morning came: you'd be gone. Amu… I know you probably have no memories of me and even though I wish you would remember me… I can't blame you anymore so I'm sorry for the way I acted." Ikuto explained.

"So what do we do now?" Amu's question barely was heard.

"For now, let's head home." Ikuto sighed, turning his back and faced his motorcycle.

Amu was still wearing his jacket meaning…

"So does that mean you haven't been home yet?" He asked.

Amu glanced down at Ikuto's jacket that she was still wearing; "No… I called Kukai to get him to pass the message on that I was safe." She replied.

"You could have gotten kiddy—I mean Tadase to do that." Ikuto stated, hopping on his bike.

He motioned Amu over; he lifted his helmet up.

"Here. Put it on." He softly ordered her.

Amu put the helmet on her head snugly, wrapping her arms around Ikuto's waist noticing something odd.

"Wait… Where's the other helmet?"

"It'll be fine… We're not that far out."

Ikuto's words softened Amu's outer appearance but she still felt uneasy with Ikuto being unprotected. Luckily, in favor of them, the rain had already stopped about an hour before. The ride home was silent as both prayed for a safe trip; Ikuto didn't want to go to the hospital again and Amu didn't want to see him hospitalized again.

"We're here." Ikuto softly muttered as he pulled into his garage.

He stopped; Amu climbed off turning to face him.

Amu's P.O.V.:

I can't believe he would be so stupid!

"Don't ever do that again." I sternly told him, placing his helmet on his lap.

I stormed into Ikuto's house, a small part of me feeling guilty that I had gotten even a little mad at him.

Ikuto's P.O.V.:

I watched as Amu stormed away from me; was she really that upset?

Can you blame her, idiot?

Are we really going to debate this?

I don't know… You tell me…

And I'm the idiot?

Shaddup.

Ikuto grinned to himself; he had won an argument against himself, or lost…

He slid off his bike and then headed inside to receive a hug from Midori, getting lots of thanks for finding Amu. I weaved out of Ms. Hinamori's arms just as our mothers started talking to one another. I walked out onto the back deck and saw Amu sitting down on it.

"You know chairs are invented for a reason." I reminded her, with a chuckle.

"Yeah… but I get a better look at the sky sitting on the deck." She responded with a giggle.

I stared at the back of her head for a moment before sighing and plopping down next to her, leaning back to look at the sky. We ended up lying on our back, still looking up at the stars and talking about anything that came to her mind; I didn't mind. I just wanted her to remember me and all the time we spent together growing up.

Normal P.O.V.:

Unaware that as they hung out under the stars, two pairs of eyes watched them giggling and whispering to one another…

You guessed right: Midori Hinamori and Souka Hoshina!

"Mom… What are you doing?" A bored sigh came from behind the two giggling mothers.

"Your brother and Amu are outside." Souka giggled.

"Really?" Utau dashed over to the sliding glass door, peering out at the two.

"Aww~ It's about time~" Utau finally giggled at her older brother's luck.

Me:: There's only going to be a few more chapters so please vote in my poll on my profile~ So I know which to upload next XD

Ikuto:: Just to let you know... she never started another AMUTO one!

Me:: T^T
