Ikuto's P.O.V.

Standing outside the door to my house, I sigh. I don't feel quite ready to open the door yet, cause I know she is going to tackle me to the ground as soon as I do. Who knows what kind of lingerie she'll be wearing tonight.

I think of Amu, who I just recently met. She has a very bright vibe to her, and I feel different when I'm around her. When I'm with her, I feel open and almost happy. I haven't felt happy in so long, I've practically forgot what it feels like.

I take a deep breath and unlock the door, pushing it open. I take one step inside the house before I'm tackled to the ground, just as predicted, "IKUUUTTOOOO-KOII!"

I hit the ground with a thud and look up into my wife's eyes. Aren't you supposed to feel love when you look into your wife's eyes? I can't be sure, because I have no such feeling right now.

"Welcome home, Ikuto-koi!" I sigh and push her off of me, "Did you find another job?"

"Utau," I stare into her violet eyes, "It's not that easy to find a second job." I glare at her and stand up, stepping inside the house.

"S-Sorry," she pouts and I sigh again, "You hungry? I made dinner!"

"No, I ate just a while back."

"Oh," there's a pause, then she smiles and rushes up and grabs my arm, "Ikuto-koi, would you like to get in bed, then? You must be stressed after trying to find a job all day. Let me relax you!" she pushes her breasts to my arm and I just now notice what she's wearing.

She's got on a very revealing purple lace top that barely covers her nipples, and some black lace panties. Her blond hair is pulled up in her usual pigtails, and she's wearing a bunch of make-up. I want to believe that she just forgot to wash it off from going to work as a singer earlier, but I know that she's just trying to look sexy for me.

"I'm just tired." I say and turn around, walking to the bedroom.

"Then let me do all the work!" she argues but I pull my arm away from her.

"Goodnight, Utau." I disappear behind the door and take a deep breath. Usually, I accept her efforts to pleasure me, but something has gotten to me. No, someone.

I used to love Utau. We met when we were younger, and we bonded over music. At the time, I loved to play the violin, and she'd always make up lyrics to my songs. After she became a famous recording artist, she asked me to join her. I refused because I met some other girl. Even though I had feelings for Utau at the time, I spend nights with this other girl I met. I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was because my father had just disappeared at that time. He raised me, then took my- no his- violin with him.

After a while, I found that seeing this other girl just made me more depressed. I said goodbye to her and asked Utau out instead. After a while, we fell in love and I asked her to live with me. I didn't have much money to support her, so I got a full time job at the bank. I hated working there, but I decided to keep the job. Since we were still low on money, I thought I'd try to get second job. I've been looking for a second job for quite a while, and it's been pretty hard and stressful. After spending most of our time fighting, I fell out of love with Utau. She noticed my distance instantly and has tried to win me back, but I just don't love her anymore. She's constantly asking for me to have sex with her because she wants me to love her again. Most of the time, I would have sex with her, but no feelings were involved at all. At least, none of my feelings.

And then I met Amu.

I'm so stupid and lame for thinking this, but when I first saw her, I knew she was different from everyone else. Maybe it's just because she has pink hair, or because she's completely hot, but I honestly think that she is different from everyone else.

It wasn't hard to get her to like me. Most girls fall in love with me on their own. Amu certainly wasn't different in that prospect. She definitely has feelings for me. Why else would she have made-out with me?

I wish I wasn't, but I think I'm falling for Amu.

It's crazy, cause I've only gone out with her once. I shouldn't fall in love when I'm married. I still have feelings for Utau, but they aren't love. I don't want to hurt her, but I know I will if I fall in love.

Amu.

I undress completely except for my boxers and climb into bed. Utau will probably be eating dinner alone for a while, so I can be alone. I slowly slide my hand under the covers and grab myself.

I have to rent a hotel room…

"Hello?" Amu's sweet, innocent voice comes from the line and I hold my breath for a second before regaining my cool. I wonder if she's a virgin…

"Guess who?"

"I have collar ID, baka," she giggles and I smile.

"You got me there."

"So, what's up, Ikuto?"

"Not much," I sit down on my bed and start tying my shoes. Utau isn't home because of work, and I have to leave to go to the bank soon, too, "I just wanted to hear your voice."

I'm positive that got her to blush, because her voice gets all stuttery and cute, "Th-That's not a v-valid answer!"

"Why not?" I smirk.

"W-Whatever…"

"So, you don't have too much homework this Sunday, do you?" I hold the phone up to my ear with my shoulder as I tie my other shoe.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Let's go out again."

"Y-You're free?"

"Yeah. The bank's closed on Sundays, so I don't have to work," There's a pause, "Yeah, I forgot to tell you I work at the bank."

"I never would have guessed!" Amu squeals excitedly, "Maybe I'll visit you sometime," another pause, "O-Or does your wife visit you a lot?"

I hesitate, then answer, "No, she's always busy."

"I see."

Another long pause.

"Just meet me by the corner of your street," I say.

"O-Okay!"

"And don't forget to wear something sexy," I say quickly and smirk. I hang up before she can answer and chuckle.

Now time to rent a hotel room.
