Okay, I'm back again. I decided to do an Amuto, -gulps- but Amuto is the most loved pairing, so I thought I'd try! And finally, not a Glee song! This one is AU. (BTW, the name of the restaurant is Spanish for 'Tasty Food'.) And Ikuto is very sarcastic.
Song: Haven't met you yet
Artist: Michael Bublè
Pairing: Amuto/squint for a hint of Kutau

Ikuto had had enough. His little sister, Utau, had been setting him up on dates with all of her single friends, and none of them had been working out. They never even had a 2nd date. Ikuto wanted to find a girl on his own, but Utau had already arranged another date for him tonight.
"Niisan, I set you up on a date with my friend, Amu," she had said, "she's very shy… so be nice."
"Yeah, whatever." he had replied, flicking his midnight blue hair in a very cool way. He was really sick of all the failed dates. He tried to tell his sister he hadn't met the one yet, but she was hell-bent on helping.
He was supposed to meet her at the local Mexican restaurant, 'Sabrosa Comida', because apparently, Amu liked tacos.
Ikuto took off his shirt and looked in his closet. What was he going to wear? He had no clothes left because he just didn't feel like washing them.
"Utau," Ikuto called from his room, "what should I wear?"
Utau immediately bolted into his room and started rummaging through the clothes on the floor of his closet. "This is why you can't find clothes, Niisan. You're so messy."
Ikuto rolled his eyes.
Utau held up a red T-shirt. "Amu likes red. Wear this."
"Okay." Ikuto said in a sarcastic tone. Who cares if Amu likes red?
"And these pants." Utau handed him some jeans.
"Pretty plain clothes for a date," Ikuto mumbled, scanning the clothes with his dark eyes, "you sure precious lil' Amu-chan won't think I'm a hobo or something?" His tone was soaked in sarcasm.
"Ikuto…" Utau turned around and glared at her brother like he was the devil's incarnate, "be nice."
"Whatevs."
"I'll leave so you can change." Utau smiled at her big brother, and left the room. Ikuto put on the red shirt and jeans, and looked at himself in the mirror.
"I'm looking pretty good; for a hobo at least."
Later that night, Utau came in Ikuto's car while he was driving to his date. He dropped her off at the Ramen Shop, so she could eat ramen with her new boyfriend.
Ikuto found the table number Utau had told him to go to – number 24 – and saw a girl, who was apparently Amu. Her shoulder-blade length pink hair was tied up in a messy ponytail with a red-cross shaped barrette. She was blushing profusely, and looking at the ground bellow the table.
"Amu?" Ikuto said, balancing his chin on his hand. Amu looked up at him and blushed even more.
"Yes..." She replied, "Y-you're hotter than your sister told me you were…" Amu was very nervous when she said that; Ikuto could tell his sister told her to tell him that.
"Thanks…" Ikuto said in a 'WTF' tone, "Well, my sis said you were pretty. And that's an understatement."
Her whole face was red now; she was super embarrassed that a hot guy like Ikuto had basically called her gorgeous.
"Well… we better order food," The waiter, who was dressed like a weird Mexican person; he was wearing a huge sombrero and then normal clothes. Ikuto and Amu were both sure that Mexican people didn't look like that.
"Can I please have some super-spicy nachos?" Ikuto and Amu both said in perfect unison, and the waiter nodded. He wrote their order down on a notebook and left to the kitchen.
"Wow," Amu laughed, "we have the same taste in food."
"Yeah," Ikuto was feeling a lot less uncomfortable; he and Amu were getting along really well already.
"So…" Amu started, "what type of music do you like?"
"Well, I'm a violinist, so I like classical music, and I like rock and stuff."
"Cool, the violin? That's awesome!" Amu smiled, she was feeling really comfortable with this guy, "Do you have any pets?"
"Yeah, I have a cat named Yoru," Ikuto replied, "Do you?"
"I have a parakeet named Ran, a goldfish named Miki, a cat named Suu, and a canary named Dia."
"Wow, you have a lot of pets." Ikuto said, amazed, How did the cat not eat the fish and the birds?
"Yeah, I like animals. I'm studying to be a vet."
"I'm in my sister's band, the Black Diamonds, I'm the violinist. We're going for a record deal."
"Oh, yeah, Utau-chan told me about that. I sing a little too," Amu said, suddenly nervous again.
"Really? Can I have a demo?"
"Yeah… sure…"
I'm not surprised.
Not everything lasts.
I've broken my heart so many times I stopped keeping track.
Talk myself in.
I talk myself out.
I get all worked up, then I let myself down.
I tried so very hard not to lose it.
I came up with a million excuses.
I thought I thought of every possibility.
And I know someday that it'll all turn out.
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out.
And promise you, kid, that I'll give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet.
"Wow, you're really good!" Ikuto exclaimed, "What's that song?"
"Umm… I wrote it myself… it's called 'Haven't met you yet'…"
"That's awesome!"
Amu and Ikuto's nachos arrived, and they talked about music, cats, and Amu sang the rest of her song.
"So, Amu, will I see you again?" Ikuto asked as they left the restaurant.
Amu smiled, "Of course you will." She held her arms out to ask for a hug. Ikuto got the hint and hugged her.
A taxi pulled up on the curb. "Oh, that's my taxi," Amu opened the door and got in. She rolled down the window, and as the taxi drove off, she said, "Call me!"
Ikuto smiled at her, and mouthed, "Yeah."
Now, he'd met her.
