Makeshift boyfriend

Day 1

Ikuto's pov
We headed down to the living room where everyone had gathered. "Oh Amu! Cousin Yaya is coming soon!" Her mom shouted happily. Her father was still sulking and her sister sat beside a boy I didn't know. Well, I mean, I didn't remember him being here just a second ago. Amu grabbed my hand and smiled falsely. Right! We have to act like a couple. "Oh what a joy! You'll love her babe!" She stated looking up at me. I smiled and nodded. "Can't wait to meet everyone!" I encourage. I have to admit I liked her calling me babe. We seated ourselves down on the couch next to her sister and the random guy. "Ami, I see you have another boyfriend this year!" Amu grinned at her sister. Ami stuck her tongue out at Amu and grabbed her boyfriends hand. "For your information this is Kei!" She stated smugly. She then leaned in and kissed Kei's cheek. How old is this girl? 15? Suddenly there was a nick at the front door. Amu groaned and her mother got up to answer it. As soon as the door opened in came a running blob. The person toppled Amu and squealed. "You finally did it Amu!!" She yelled. Geez! Does she have to be so loud? "Yaya! Get off your squishing me!" Amu groaned. I smirked. Wait why am I smirking? I quickly drop my smirk and watch as the girl known as Yaya pulled herself off Amu. Amu gasped for breath and then scowled at Yaya. "Did you ace to suffocate me!?" She exclaimed. Yaya giggled and eyed me. Oh dear god! She got right up in my face and stared at me. I sat there, my face devoid of the nervousness I was feeling. I stared back unsure what I was suppose to do. She finally pulled back and smiled. "He's a keeper!!!" She shouted as she gave a big thumbs up to Amu. I looked over at her to see her blushing wildly. Aw how cute! I smirk and then realize I shouldn't be smirking! I'm here to get my money! "Kairi-kun!!!" The over excited girl bounced over to a man with black hair almost the length of mine. He had green eyes and wore glasses. He had a black shirt on and dark jeans. Who's this guy? "You guys are finally going out!" Amu smiled slyly. Oh, so that Kairi guy is dating the over excited chick? And Yaya is Amu's cousin? Hmm... "Shush!" Yaya stuck her tongue out playfully. Amu had a nice warm family! Amu's dad then cleared his throat. "Supper should be done soon!" He looked at me and started crying again. Why!? What did I do?!!!

Amu's pov
As soon as my dad got done making the announcement he started crying again. Geez! Is he that sad that I have a 'boyfriend'?! "So... Amu, who's the guy!!" Yaya started up conversation. I groaned internally. "I'm Ikuto." Ikuto spoke up for himself. Ami smirked. "How'd you met?" I was prepared to speak when Ikuto spoke instead. "I was at the restaurant she waited at and Amu being the clumsy girl she is spilled the try all over me and we sort of went on from there." Ikuto stated cooly. My heart stopped and I was dumbstruck. He remembered! I figured he'd just forget all the things we went over and screw up but he didn't! I could feel a small blushed spread across my cheeks and I tightened my hand around his. Thank you Ikuto... He looked over at me and smiled as if reading my thoughts. "Sounds like the typical Amu." Yaya and Ami laughed. I glared at them and they laughed harder. "How long have you been dating? I mean Amu had never told any of us about you." Kairi stated. "2 years and 4 months." Ikuto stated. My eyes widened. He really remembered!! It makes me super happy but I don't know why! "Wow! 2 years?! Amu why'd you keep him from us for that long?!" Ami yelled. I winced. "It's all my fault. I was real busy at the newspaper plant and Amu felt that I should meet everyone in person." Ikuto explained. They all smiled. "Aw! How romantic!!" Yaya and Ami cooed. I rolled my eyes. My mother then came in and announced that supper was ready. I sighed quietly in relief and stood up. Ikuto stayed seated and held onto my hand, keeping me there with him as the others scrambled to the kitchen. I looked at him angrily. "What!?" I growled. He smiled and stood up. "Nothing..." He stated before pulling me along with him to the kitchen. Dinner was nice, Ikuto answered everything my father and mother asked. He was charming my family and they all fell for it. It almost felt as if Ikuto was my real boyfriend. I held his hand all through dinner and reluctantly let go to put away the dishes away while everyone else left back to the living room to talk. My mother stayed behind and smiled at me. She started help washing the dishes. "He's a real nice man, I'm glad you found him honey." She kissed my head and my hands started getting shaky. Every one likes him but he was only doing this for the money! They all believed him and I. How could I lie to them like this! Showing them something that's not even real... I feel shameful. My mother left and I slumped over the sink. I don't know if I can continue to lie like this! I mean... They all like him and are so happy I found someone like Ikuto but Ikuto isn't mine. He isn't here as my boyfriend, he's here as my pretend boyfriend so he can get the money I promised him. "Amu?" I hear Ikuto say. I stood up and looked at him. "Oh! Sorry I'll be out in a second." I said. He looked at me before frowning. "Whats wrong?" He asked. I shook my head and sighed. "Do you really think we should do this! I mean I could just give you the money, I don't feel right lying to them about us!" I spilled my guilt. He stood there and shook his head, putting his hands on my shoulders. "No! Amu I'm not taking the money without helping you! It'll be fine! You can explain that we had a bad fight and broke up if they ask." He explained. I shook my head and tried backing out but was soon backed into the sink. "But they think we're they perfect couple!" I cried. "Amu, it's okay... We'll show them we have fights too." He stated. I was about to protest when we heard footsteps coming. I started to freak out and I grabbed onto Ikuto. "Oh my god! Someone's coming!!" I whispered. "Amu, Ikuto?" Ikuto suddenly grabbed me and kissed me as my mother walked into the kitchen. I quickly shut my eyes so it didn't look like I was surprised. "Oh! Sorry I hope I'm not interrupting!!" Her voice was blurred as I started to focus on the kiss. I wanted to kiss back, I wanted to wrap my arms around him and deepen the kiss but knew that I shouldn't. We weren't really dating and plus my moms watching! I pulled away and looked over to my mom. "Oh! Mom! Uh... We were just coming out." I stated before grabbing Ikuto's hand and leading him out of the kitchen. My face was blushing horribly and of course Ami and Yaya had to tease me about it when we got to the living room. After a little bit more conversation we all went to our rooms. Me and Ikuto entered our room and I collapsed onto the bed. "I'm sorry... That was really embarrassing." I apologized for everything that happened today. He chuckled. "No need to apologize, besides I liked the kiss." He whispered the last part in my ear. I turned red again and punched his arm. "Pervert!" I shout he chuckles and falls onto my bed, arms behind his head. "Anyways... Thank you for today..." I say looking at him. He opens one eye and looked at me. "Your welcome..." He responded. There was awkward silence between us. I was staring at him. He had his eyes closed and looked comfy and peaceful. "Wait! You can't sleep in my bed with me!!" I screeched as I came to realize he was sleeping in my bed. He opened his eyes and winced at my sudden loudness. "Calm yourself, I did a great job I deserve the bed." He stated. I glared at him. "It's my bed! My house! My room! Get off!" I yelled. He didn't budge so I climbed over him and started to push him off. Suddenly Yaya barged in and caught us. Her eyes went wide and a huge blush rose upon my face. "This isn't what it looks like!" I tried to defend myself but it was too late Yaya had me in her grasp and was dragging me down the hall. She pulled me into the room she was staying in and squealed. "Amu! You sly cat! Tell me everything!!" She grabbed my hands excitedly. I blushed more and sweat dropped. "Yaya..." Ikuto is my 'boyfriend' now and I doubt she'll believe me if I tell her I was kicking Ikuto out! I mean what couple does that?! "There's not much to say... We were just kissing and playing around and I pinned him down right as you came in." I lied. She eyes me but then cracked a smile. "Amu! You really get frisky with that guy huh!?" She winked at me. I blushed madly. "N-no!!" I tried to deny but she shook her head. All the sudden the door opened to reveal a sleepy looking Ami. "Keep it down you two! Some people are trying to sleep here!" She scolded. I winced and Yaya groaned. "Party pooper!" She commented. Ami glared at her before leaving. I left too and went back into my room. "So, what'd you tell her?" Ikuto asked. I looked over at him as he laid on my bed. "The truth!" I stated, kicking him off the bed. He landed hard on his butt. I grabbed my pajamas and walked off. Once changed I went back to my room and hopped in bed. "Aw.... Good night Ikuto." I sighed and smiled as I hugged something. Wait what!? I'm hugging something! And it's warm!!! I open my eyes to see Ikuto smirking at me. My face becomes beat red. "Pervert!!!"
