(Start Chapter)
My mind flashed back to someone important, a memory I wish I'd never forgotten.
"…Ikuto cuddled with me even more, our legs becoming deeply intertwined, his face in my neck and his arms around my back, one holding onto my upper back, and the other holding onto the small of my back. One of my arms was wrapped around his back as well as my other hand was in his hair, my fingers making there way through the strands of hair.
While we were like this Ikuto even bit my neck. I wanted to scream, "pervert" at him but for some reason, I was fine with it. Sure I pulled at his hair a little making him bite down even harder as he sucked on my skin, but it felt nice. It was strange, but yes, I admit it felt nice. At the time I was distracted on what he was doing, but finally, when the nurse came in thirty minutes later and asked if I was beat, she gave me a mirror and I found multiple hickeys on my neck, complimentary of Ikuto. I would have loved to scream at him, but he looked so cute sleeping on the couch. He really did stay up the whole time I've been in the hospital."
I gazed up into blue sapphires longingly, just as I was being gazed down at. It only took a blink, only a second, and all I saw of Ikuto was his blue, silky hair. A gasp of surprise released from my mouth as I felt his tongue sliding from the bottom of my ear to my collarbone. A shiver ran through my and by back arched into Ikuto, my body asking for more. "W-wait," I mutter out before I felt a sharp pain that quickly turned into pleasure as he bit down and started sucking on my neck. "I-Ikuto." I meant it as a protest but his name turned more into a moan.
He flinched at his name coming from me, I'm sure it was hard for him to stop but when he raised his head he looked pained. "Amu, I'm sorry," He began to get off me though before I knew it my arms were around his neck, dragging him back down. "Amu?" This had to be the first time I've heard his voice so shocked. I'd once experience his shocked face when he tried to steel Su away from me when I was in elementary school.
"Ikuto," I whispered, moving my mouth towards his ear. "I want you, now." My voice was gentle but demanding. I slid my tongue along the rim of his ear then lightly nibbled on his ear lope. His breath hitched and one hand was sliding around my waist and other on the matrices, bracing himself further away from me. He was so cute, trying to get away like a cat being thrown into a bath.
I no longer felt Ikuto's hand around my waist, but I did feel my hands above my head being bound down. "Hey, have your heard of my religion?" His voice was in my ear, a soft singing tone to his words. I melted underneath him, licking my lips unconsciously and my breath becoming more prominent. "It's called the Church of Hot Addiction." My eyes widened in realization about the song he was singing and at the feel of his tongue sliding around my ear, then down my neck.
"I'm willing," I tried to say without moaning as he began sucking on my neck. Failed. "You're waiting," He paused for a brief second as the lyrics came to me, altered to the situation. I brought in a deep breath and finished the third line, "Turn out the lights." My breath hitched as he bit and sucked on my neck, closer to my ear that the earlier one. As he removed his lips from my neck I felt a cold shiver run through me. He had way of using his tongue after giving a hickey where he ran his tongue along the hickey right before he removed his lips and continues until his mouth is to far away.
His lips smashed into mine, a deep, intense and needing kiss. There was so much passion thrown into the kiss, our mouths moving in sync. I tried to move my hands but he kept them firmly against the bed and he lowered himself onto me, not trying to put too much of his weight on me. His fingers ran under my shirt, lightly doodling shapes onto my skin. His fingers were cold, sending shivers up and down my spine and I found myself doing the most unthinkable.
A strange sound came from my throat. A long purr? I felt as if I was just breathing out but it didn't sound like a longing sigh. I think the thing that was even worse was Ikuto's reply. He made a long purring sound as well. I could feel him smile into the kiss as, dare I ever get more drastic than this, I slid my tongue along his lower lip and gave him a little nip. He opened up to me and it was war. Our tongues fought with one another, sliding across the other, invading the other's mouth, and taking in the other's taste.
He tasted nothing like I'd thought. He didn't taste like milk, or the nights, but a warm-like taste, almost like the sun. After a while the taste changed, and soon tasted a mixture of the sun and a sweet taste of lollypops. At first it was an awkward taste but soon you learned to like it, then love it and yearn for it.
"Mama!"
Oh no.
Ikuto perked up, looking towards the same direction as I now looked. Hikaru was standing in the doorway, a look of shock, disgust, and I swear I could see his soul leaving his body slowly. Chiharu shortly appeared afterwards, standing next to my child. Her hand lightly landed on his shoulder as she tried to move his body, away from the scene. He moved slowly at her guide and as she almost moved out of sight she turned towards us and glared. Her glare, I knew, was directed at me.
"Amu, shall we?" His voice was in my ear and a shiver went down my spine.
"Ikuto, we can't. I need to get Hikaru fed." I looked off to the side, a little depressed. Sides of me wished I could continue with him, make our bodies one, but Hikaru was first on my list of important things. No matter how close Ikuto was to that important line, Hikaru was just a little higher.
A short laugh was in my ear. Ikuto was laughing at me! "You sure are dirty, Amu." A blush ran across my face as he got off me, releasing my arms, and helping me up on my feet. "I meant, should we go out for dinner? It's about that time anyways." We were now on our feet and he pulled me into a close hug. "I've missed you so much," he whispered into my hair as he kissed the top of my head.
I wrapped my arms around his torso, hugging myself closer to him. "I lo-" I was stopped mid sentence by Chiharu, her screams muting my confession.
"You! How could you? If you haven't blinded the poor boy then he's defiantly traumatized!" I froze. Her voice could have thrown a spear through my chest if Ikuto wasn't standing in front of me.
"Chiharu," Ikuto's voice was so stern, so hard and cold to the point that it scared me a little. "Lower your voice and get some spare cloths to put Hikaru in. We're going out." I looked over Ikuto's shoulder to find Chiharu looking down at the ground. It was hard but I was able to make out a pained face.
"Yes, sir." She left with these words, leaving us in peace.
"Now, Amu. We're going to have to put something a little more appropriate on for you." He started to slide my shirt off my shoulders, "Looks like we're going to have to take this off." A blush formed on my face once more as I jumped back, away from Ikuto's reach, and attempted at covering myself.
"I-I'll dress myself thank you very much," I muttered quickly. I could only see his smirk as he turned around, his hand in the air. He muttered something along the lines of, "that's to bad," and called a maid over. She took me to another room, pulling out a beautiful knee length dress. The bad thing about this was when she turned towards me with an evil glint in her eyes.
…....30 minutes later……
"H-how did we end up here?" I muttered to myself, looking over to Hikaru who was in nice dress and admiring himself. I then looked around at the restaurant that Ikuto had swept us off to. It was defiantly high class. As I skimmed the menu I couldn't imagine anything Hikaru, or myself for that fact, would like. Or recognized.
It was just the three of us, sitting at a round table in the middle of a restaurant half an hour out of town. I could hear Hikaru's stomach growling from the time we left to the time we sat down. I gazed down at the table as the waiter set a plate of fancy French bred and two pallets of butter on a silver plate onto the table. I had to skillfully hold Hikaru's hands under the table before he could rip the waiter's hand off, going for the bread. It was a little scary.
Though, the dinner was tasteful and every few seconds I had to lean over and wipe something off of my child's face I didn't feel shamed when Iktuo smoothly slid the bill under the table, glanced at it, then went back to watching Hikaru as he explained his assignments he was currently doing in school. I'm sure he'd hear from Chiharu later about the bruises that were only faint now.
"That is very interesting. Amu, did you know that Hikaru wants to learn how to play the piano and violin?" His eyes seemed to cover my body, reminding me of earlier and how I wished that dinner hadn't gotten in the way, no matter how embarrassed I was to vocalize it.
"Really?" I asked in disbelief as the words sank in. I'd never heard of anything revolving what Hikaru wanted to learn or want to be. I looked at Hikaru, who was now looking off in another direction, a slight blush on his face. I smiled which turned into a small frown. I turned back to Ikuto who was staring intently at me, a small smirk forming. I couldn't help but smile at him.
"Shall we go?" He stood, extending his hand out to me. I gently placed my hand in his, standing and looking over to Hkaru, who had already found himself to his feet and was waiting for us.
On the ride back, we rode in the same Mercedes Benzes we came in, Ikuto driving and Hikaru in the back, sleeping on my lap. We didn't talk, he just stared out the front windshield, and I looking down at Hikaru, running my fingers through his hair. When I glanced up a few times to look at Ikuto I found him looking through the rearview mirror at me with thoughtful eyes like they were making a decision about something that would be life threatening.
He dropped us off at my apartment building, helping me carry Hikaru up the stairs. I whispered a "Thanks" to Ikuto, he nodded back as a "You're welcome". We shared a short kiss and I walked him out. It was a bittersweet ending. I went to my window, trying to see if I could watch at Ikuto drove away, but found that my window faced the wrong side of the building.
It was hardly time to go to sleep, but everything about today was exhausting. I thought back to earlier that day. Hikaru's bored face as she examined the café. Tadase, making his appearance at the cafe and nearly ruining my day. Ikuto, who nearly beat Tadase to a pulp, though I'm sure he killed him in his mind. He'd taken Hikaru and I to his house, and then out to dinner. And, there was that intense moment. How I wish we could have finished what never started.
Tomorrow would be another day. Just another day after a night full of pleasure. So maybe tomorrow won't be just like every other day, but it might be close.
……Noon (The Next Day)…….
The café was pumping, bouncing with intense rhythm coming from newly installed stereo and forty-five inch speakers in the high corners. Today I was still off from my first job and was now doing a longer shift at my second job. Both of my jobs are waitress jobs. Today the café was only open to those over 18, mainly because of the music being played and today was club night. A new theme the manager was becoming fond of.
A new beat started through the speakers, one I knew very well. "You were a problem child, grounded your whole life so now you're running wild, playing with the good girls. No, that ain't your style. You think you're hot shit. Oh I love it, I love it." I felt my hips moving to the beat as I moved around the café, delivering orders. When I didn't have anything to do I'd just dance in a corner, feeling the beat run through me.
It was starting to become slow and I realized another Cobra Starship song filling the air. Some power must have been haunting me since the little slip of lyrics with Ikuto yesterday. "I know your type, you're daddy's little girl. Just take a bite. Let me shake up your world, 'cause just one night couldn't be so wrong. I'm gonna make you lose control."
A small blush crept over my cheeks as I thought about the lyrics and how I was shy, and sometimes hid it beneath my stubborn side, that is until I met Ikuto. Yes, I was still shy, but not to the depths of my shyness as a child. It was Ikuto that, even though I'd forgotten him, tried at Tadase over and over, trying to get him to sleep with me or pay attention to me.
"Oh, she got away with the boys in the place. She's a looker, don't stand a chance." I heard a whisper come from behind me as I swayed to the music and sung along. I didn't notice him at all, in fact I thought he was just part of the music. Arms moved around my waist, pulling my body against someone else's.
"And he got away with the girls in the back, and looking too hot to dance." I sang along. I continued to dance, and the verse repeated, and the voice behind me sang about the girl, and I sang about the boy. I didn't think anything strange until I lined the dot to dot. A different voice in the song… coming from strictly behind me, someone's arms around my waist, and someone's body behind me, swishing to the music in sync with my own.
"Ah-" I was about to reach a high pitch scream before a hand clasped over my mouth. Shivers ran down my spine. Who could possibly think it was okay to assault a worker inside their work? I mean, sure, there is a lot of people here today but right now the shop's customers have thinned and this person wants to attack me NOW?
"Shhh, Amu. You'll make people think you're being attacked or something." His voice filled my ear, my mind filled with annoyance for him showing up at my work. How dare he scare me like this. How dare he! I tried to mumble out words but they only turned into slurred baby noises. "Aw, Amu, you're to cute." I could hear the smile in his voice. Oh, he was going down. "You also look quite tasty. Could I have a bite, if you will?" His lips rested on the arch of my neck, gently kissing around to the side. He sucked lightly and I received shivers running up and down my spine.
I flailed my arms around, trying to get the sign across that this wasn't okay, at all! Even if it was him, I absolutely won't allow something like this to happen! Another 'eek' sound came form my throat as my arms were forced down from the arm that was around my waist. Now, it was around my waist, and holding both of my arms close to my body. More mumbling sounds were maid as I tried to speak through his hand.
"Okay, break it up. I know you're her fiancé but would you please refrain from doing anything to her that might stay her from her work?" The manager now stood in front of me. He was looking at the mad behind me like he was a god. Yes, I'm sure my manager would suck his, but this man is just too…. FIANCE?!
I turned my head, only enough to see blue hair. I knew it was Ikuto a while ago, once he said my name for the first time. I tried to struggle out of his grasp, but he didn't lay off. "Aww, but I've missed her so much." How did he find out where I worked anyways? Oh right, the same way he found out where my house was when I was a little kid. Being an omega stalker!
"Ikuto, why are you here?" I asked as his hand uncovered my mouth. I was breathing a little heavy because of the fact that I'm a poor breather through my nose.
"As I said, Amu, shhh." He loosened his grip enough to turn me around in his arms and put a light kiss on my lips. "I'll be going now." He said towards the manager as he rested his head shortly on my head. "He then looked at me. "I'll be back for you though." With this, Ikuto gracefully left my work.
"Amu, please get back to work. While you and your fiancé were being all love-dovey more costumers came in." The manager was blushing slightly at the door Ikuto had left out of.
"M-Manager, I didn't think you seriously swung that way." One of the girls said, serving someone an iced drink.
I blushed. "Who said he was my fiancé?!" I asked, flailing my arms around again, until I just decided to stop making a fuss and get to work.
"That beautiful man," the manager said in a dreamy voice as he followed me.
"I-Ikuto did?" My face, all the more red, became dazed. I nearly ran into three consumers on the way to table five. I sighed, my manager sighed, and then we sighed together.
I started to think about Ikuto and I becoming engaged. I had one of those "dot dot dot" moments, and then decided it was probably impossible.
I glanced at my manager. He wasn't all that bad looking. Wild brunette hair with light brown eyes and a darker skin tone. His body wasn't slim, but it wasn't plump either. He wore a light blue striped button up shit with baggy brown shorts. His lets were shaved, which led down to his feet, in white and black vans. Not exactly the most color coordinated, but he was getting there.
I, however, was in uniform. I tight light pink tank top over another black tank top over a short sleeve red shirt. My legs were almost covered, shorts, that were somewhat baggy and black with pink rims around the many pockets. Around my wrists were glow sticks, that wouldn't work unless the lights dimmed a little more and it was night. I wore vans as well, but they were pink and black checkered on top with, what was white, bottom rims. I'd colored the bottom rims red with sharpie a while ago.
I was very grateful to my managers, who were somehow rich, for buying outfits for the waitresses. I'd never be able to work if we had to go out and get our own. Another bonus was that we got to keep the cloths and alter them to our will. This manager, however, often liked to bring us girls out shopping, give us a theme and have us choose what we thought best suited it. I don't quite understand how some of the girls around here still couldn't see how this man is gay.
"Um, miss. Could you please help me out a little?"
I looked over to see an older man sitting at a table. He wasn't in his upper thirty's or his upper fifty's, so I'm sure he wasn't going to ask for a quick dance to only be rejected like some other customers had tried earlier. I smiled, looking around the café, a beat moving people around in a rhythm that suited everyone.
My smile turned to the older man. "Coming," I said in an upbeat voice. I can't wait to see where my life takes me. I feel as if something big is going to happen soon.

Someone let him back in! It's unrighteous! But this encounter will lead to something dealing with Hikaru. I swear Tadase will never come into this story EVER again unless he serves a short purpose. Nah, Ikuto didn't get to Tadase before Amu got to Ikuto. I'm sure Tadase would be near dead if Ikuto got his perfect figures around Tadase's neck. AND… Hikaru walks in at the heat of the moment, right as Amu is like, "Oh yeah, I'm so ready for you Ikuto." Enter heart in eyes here. Wow… this was an epic chapter. :) Thank you for your support, so very much.
CreativeJournalist
Yes, I admit this chapter did come to me slowly, but oh it turned out swell. The rhythm is a little ish, but I like it. Thank you for your support, so very much.
