Chapter Ten
I couldn't even guess how long
we stood there like that,
only looking into each other's eyes,
taking in that we were now married.
I don't remember getting there. All I know is that we're here. We're in the USA. Believe it or not… Seattle. We both really wanted to go to Seattle, and Ikuto's dad is a very well-known person there, so he got the plane tickets and hotel almost free!
We walked into the hotel honeymoon suite, and I swear my jaw dropped. Ikuto's eyes almost popped out of his head. It was so huge and romantic! There was a huge living room, and right smack-dab in the middle was a big, red, luxury bathtub… for two. I blushed when I saw that. There were white and pink drapes on the windows. The bedroom had wide double-doors that were red-tinted glass, and in the middle of them were two pink hearts on each. They were open so you could see the bed with the red, see-through drapes. It had white sheets, and rose petals spread around on it. And Ikuto must have requested the rose petals… because they were colored our colors.
Ikuto leaned down and whispered in my ear, "So, Amu…Tsukiyomi," I got shivers. "where would you like to start?"
I could tell there was a smirk on his face. I blushed. Then, he picked me up, lead me to the bedroom, and laid me on the bed. He hovered over me and kissed me gently, making me shiver. I looked over at the clock for a split second and I think it was about seven their time. But time didn't matter. Especially when Ikuto's cool hands were starting to unzip and take off my dress… Not at all.
~x.o.x~
I woke up the next day cuddled up next to Ikuto's bare chest. One of his hands were on my back, and then other was behind his head. He was looking up at the ceiling. I kissed hid chest, since it was the only part of him that I could get to without moving.
"Good morning, Ikuto-kun," I said, smiling.
He looked down at me, and smiled a gentle smile. "Morning, Strawberry," he replied. It was silent for a little while, then he said, "You know, last night was amazing… and you're so beautiful…,"
I blushed. "Y-yeah… a-and thank you…," I stuttered, not knowing what to say.
He held me tighter and kissed my head. "I love you."
"I love you, too," I said, and I knew it was true, and I knew that I would love him forever. I don't know how I knew, but I just did.
Ikuto got up and pulled on a pair of boxers… I looked away. It was still a little… weird for me. But Ikuto seemed so used to this. He turned to me and said, "I'm going to take a bath… want to join?" with a smirk on his face.
"U-um… sure…," I said hesitantly.
His smirk dropped and he was serious now. "Don't worry… I'm nervous, too," he said.
"B-but you seem so… confident," I said.
He smiled, "Only to hide the nerves. You know me."
I smiled, too. "Okay, I'll join you."
He left the room and closed the door, and a little while later I heard the water start to run.
I got out of bed and put on the robe that was the hotel's. It was a short, red, silk robe. I stepped out of the room, and saw Ikuto sitting in the bathtub, his head back, his eyes closed. He must have heard my foot steps because he looked up at me and smiled. I got really nervous. I know he saw me last night, but… it's nerve-wracking. After years of being together and not seeing each other in this way, it makes me really nervous.
I untied the robe and let it fall to the floor. Ikuto was staring into my eyes… my eyes, when I was naked. Somehow, it felt like he was respecting me. Respecting all woman. But I was the one who got to have him. Yes, he had many faults, but it's nothing compared to how polite, charming, loving he is. I stepped into the bathtub, and sat down, uncomfortably and nervously. I fidgeted with my hands… and Ikuto just stared at me (my face).
"Wh-what do you want?" I asked rather harshly… my outer character was coming out because I was nervous.
"I just can't believe that we're married now. That we're going to spend the rest of our lives together," he responded, as if my outer character wasn't even showing. As if I didn't just spit at him… verbally.
I blushed… it was like I was twelve again. You know, we both hadn't changed much. Maybe it was because we were with each other. Maybe we would have changed if we were without each other. I wonder what we would have been like. But I chased that thought away from me, knowing we would be totally different, because we grew and, even though you can't tell, matured. Well, I did. I'm not quite sure about Ikuto…
Ikuto. …Ikuto… I was married to Ikuto… I'm freaking married to Ikuto! My name isn't Amu Hinamori anymore… It's Amu Tsukiyomi. …Wow, I love how that sounds. Amu Tsukiyomi… I smiled without realizing, and Ikuto asked me what I was thinking about.
"Um, well… I'm thinking about how great it is to be your…wife. And have your name. …Amu Tsukiyomi," I said aloud for the first time.
He smiled and sat up in the tub so he could embrace me. His lips were against my ear, and he whispered, so quietly that I got goose bumps, "I love you, Amu Tsukiyomi, and I will for the rest of my life."
Let's just say that after that, we 'got to know each other better'. …For the second time.
-X-
"Mrs. Tsukiyomi… do you want to order room service for something to eat?" Ikuto asked, hugging my from behind, his arms wrapped around just under my chest, and his chin resting on my shoulder. I only had my robe on.
I yelped at first, but then laughed and said, "Sure," while putting my hand to the back of his head, tangling my fingers through his beautiful hair. He turned his head, and I did, too, and we stared into each other eyes for the longest time. I couldn't even guess how long we stood there like that, only looking into each other's eyes, taking in that we were now married.
"Ikuto," I whispered, "I love you."
He smiled. " I know… I love you to."
And then he kissed me, while we were in that position, just standing there, in the middle of the room.
When we broke, he hugged me tighter for a second, and then walked over to the phone so he could call room service.
I suddenly got worried. I knew how people got…different as they grew older. Less romantic. I worry that that might be us some day. I don't want to do that! I want to stay like we are! I could barley breath… but thank goodness for my outer character. Thank goodness that I didn't show it. I wasn't worried that we'd get a divorce or anything, just that we'd loose how romantic we are.
"Pancakes are on their way, along with other food…," Ikuto said as he smiled and sat down next to me. Then he wrapped his arm around me, and pulled me back. Now we were both laying on the bed, next to each other. We laid there like that for a while, then we heard a knock on the door.
"I'll be right back," Ikuto said, getting up so he could answer.
I didn't hear anything until I heard the door open, and Ikuto asked, "What…?"
I got up and walked hurriedly out of the bedroom, and saw who was at the door.
It wasn't room service.
Okay, people... I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I'M SO SORRY! So, here's what happened:
Typing story, stopped because I got writer's block. A couple days later, I COULDN'T OPEN THE FREAKING STORY (or anything for that matter. Only internet.) Then I get it to work, like, a week later. Then I type more. Then I get writer's block again. Then I think about how this story doesn't really have a problem. It's all happy, happy, joy, joy... drama in one chapter. It gets solved too quickly. Then all happy happy joy joy again. -.- Well, this WAS my first fanfiction that I really actually... CONTINUED. Okay, anyway, then I got camping (CREATION NW 2010!
