Chapter 10- Forever and always
Amu walked happily beside Rima, her pink hair shining in the sun light as the two walked around the the different shops that sold wedding dresses. Excitement was visible in Amu´s face, rare in its own way seeing that a few days ago she had absolutely detested the thought of said dresses. But now...everything was so much different. She had changed drastically in these past few days.
Rima smiled seeing her friend like that, after all that she had gone through, what her friend needed was happiness.
"Hey Amu," Rima said gently as the two walked into a shop, wedding dresses of all styles before them.
"Mmm, what is it?" The pinkhead beamed at her friend, a spark in her eyes. She was happy and she had everything she ever wanted and needed. Why not show her happiness? It would be absurd not to do so.
"When do you think you´ll be the one to be buying yourself a dress?" said Rima, a mischevious glint visible in her eyes.
Instantly, Amu blushed, the thought of one day marrying with someone making her heart beat faster.
"I-I don´t know," Amu stuttered out before turning to look at the dresses, determined to ignored the slight smirk on Rima´s face.
Rima´s smirk only became wider as she saw her friend turn around, "I actually wouldn´t be surprised if Ikuto popped the question anytime soon you know."
"R-Rima!" Amu yelled out more embarrassed than ever....but somehow, in between her blushes, she couldn´t help but smile and feel happy at the thought of marrying Ikuto someday.
Hopefully, that day would come soon enough.

Ikuto fixed his eyes in concentration as he stared at the two rings before him. Which to choose? The one with the white diamond or the one with the pink one? Damn it all! Why was it so hard?
A few minutes later, a smile replaced his features as he made up his mind and payed for the ring.
"I´m sure she´ll like it," Ikuto smirked to himself as he walked out of the shop, a ring box inside his coat.

Three weeks later...
Amu beamed happily at her friend Rima, the bride to be dressed beautifully and looking like a doll, every single corner of her features shining with joy.
"Rima!" Amu said smiling, "you look so beautiful."
Her friend blushed but smiled in return, the skipping in her heart making her feels nervous and excited at the same time. In just a few more minutes, she would be walking out of that door, linked by the arm of her father who would hand her to Tadase.
Soon enough, the doors opened and she walked down the isle.
Rima POV
I smile happily as I grab my dad´s arm and the doors open. I feel my heart skip a beat when I see Tadase standing there at the alter, Ikuto near him.
As me and my dad begin to walk, I try to keep my composure and at the same time smile at Tadase. I´m so happy...so so happy. I can´t explain how happy I am. I´m so happy that tears could start falling from my eyes any minute now...
As we keep walking, I see Tadase smiling at me, his eyes gazing adorably at me and I blush. Beside him, I see Ikuto give me a quick smile before his gaze looks behind me. He´s looking at Amu the sly cat. I´m so glad that they´re finally together and happy. They both deserve it.
Turning matters back to me, I smile widely as I´m now standing in front of Tadase, my dad letting out a few tears as he hands me over to my future husband.
We both get on our knees and the ceremony starts. Everything goes like a breeze and before I knew it...the time had come.
"Do you Hotori Tadase take Mashiro Rima to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
I look to my right and see Tadase smile before answering, "I do"
"Do you Mashiro Rima take Hotori Tadase to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
I´m so nervous but a soft "I do" manages to escape from my lips, a smile instantly coming afterwards.
The father smiles at both of us gently, mirth in his eyes as with both rise to put on our rings.
Again, I space out but still manage to catch on to slight wisps of the ceremony.
"You may now kiss the bride," I hear.
I blush and look at my lover before we press our lips together.
I love you now and always...
END OF POV

Hours later, Amu found herself sitting beside Ikuto in the same table, laughing with him at the slightest things. Turning to look at the dancefloor, she saw Rima and Tadase dancing to some song, both embraced and looking happy.
Returning her attention to Ikuto, she saw him giving her a slight smirk. She knew what that smirk meant and it made her blush.
"W-what?" She asked tentively, the slight streak of magenta on her cheeks intensifying with each second.
"Nothing really," Ikuto said as he smirked wider, "Just wondering how good it would feel to have your body against mine right about now."
"I-Ikuto! You pervert!" Amu half whispered and yelled at the same time. She was embarrased but she had to admit, his perverted nature always made her happy inside.
A genuine smile replaced the smirk afterwards as Ikuto stood up and offered his hand to Amu, "Care to dance?"
"S-sure, j-just don´t do anything perverted while we dance," Amu said as she took his hand, Ikuto leading her towards the dancefloor.
Ikuto inwardly smirked as he grabbed a hold of Amu´s waist, leaning down he whispered huskily in her ear, "Me? Do something perverted? I wouldn´t even think abou it."
Minutes later...
"Ikuto you pervert! Don´t touch me there!"

The bouquet flew through the air as it left Rima´s hands, the petals of the flowers being blown gently by the breeze. Awaiting for it stood many girls and women, eager to catch it and be the next one to get married.
"Here it comes Amu-chii!" Yaya yelled in excitement to Amu, who stood beside her.
All the girls screamed, their hands making wild attempts to catch the bouquet...until it finally landed in someone´s hands....
...Amu´s eyes widened as she stared down at her hands, the bouquet placed gracefully there, the flowers looking beautiful.
"W-what?!? Me?!?" She yelled out embarrassed.
"Mou Amu-chii, Yaya wanted to catch the bouquet to get married with Kukai," the forever childish Yaya pouted as Amu blushed, her gaze wondering over to where Ikuto was. Her blush became crimsom once she saw him smirking at her, just the smallest trace of a blush on his handsome features.

Soon enough, night came and Ikuto´s car pulled up in front of Amu´s apartment. Both exited his car and made their way to her door, the usual routine of Amu looking for her keys taking place.
As they stepped inside, Ikuto turned to Amu smirking before he pushed her against the wall again.
"You know something?" Ikuto said as he placed both of his arms to her sides, blocking any possible escape.
"N-no..." Amu said shakily, the all too familiar blush coming to invade her cheeks.
Smirking at her, Ikuto leaned down and placed his forehead against hers, his breathing becoming soft, "I think you always do the same key routine just so I push you against the wall and kiss you senseless..."
Amu said nothing as she averted her gaze, trying to not look at him. Maybe that way, her blush would come down a bit....or maybe it wouldn´t.
'There is some truth to that I guess..' Amu thought as she blushed violently.
"Today´s there´s going to be a slight change in the routine though..." Ikuto said, his hot breath tickling Amu´s nose.
"H-how?"
"Well..." Ikuto said, his right hand coming to cup her face, " In just a few seconds I´ll ask you to marry me, the beautiful ring that´s inside my pocket right now will be before your eyes. Hopefully you will say yes, I´ll slip the ring into your finger and then I will kiss you senseless. Like the sound of it?"
Amu´s eyes widened at Ikuto´s words...
Was he serious? With one look at his eyes, she confirmed her question and slowly nodded.
"Good," Ikuto said before getting down on one knee, his right hand reaching into his pocket, later coming out with a black box. Opening it, a silver ring with a pink diamond was revealed.
Amu gasped as her eyes started to water....
"Amu, will you marry me?" Ikuto asked her, a soft smile on his face.
She nodded numbly and Ikuto got up. Taking the ring out of its box, he grabbed her hand a slipped it into her finger.
The ring fit perfectly and Amu smiled, her eyes glistening with tears. Before she could cry, Ikuto pressed his lips to her own and kissed her senseless...

8 months later...
Amu smiled happily as she and Ikuto walked out of the airport hand in hand, the warm breeze of Cancun hitting their faces.
The newly wedded couple took a taxi towards their hotel, admiring the view of the city through the taxi´s window.
Half an hour later, both of them got off the taxi and walked inside the hotel, their luggages being taken care of by a worker.
"We´ve got a reservation saved under Tsukiyomi Ikuto," Ikuto said to the receptionist who in return smiled at him and gave him the key to their room.
Minutes later, the two walked inside their beautifully decorated room. Amu gasped as she stared at how beautiful everything was. Turning around to look at Ikuto, she gave him a smile as she walked towards him.
"I love you so much," She whispered quietly before she leaned up to give him a quick peck on the lips.
Inwardly she smiled happily, her heart beating fast and hard. After everything they had gone through, she was glad they were together and married. Really, she wouldn´t have had it any other way. She´s go though anything just to be with him. How she loved him. Ikuto, the one and only for her.
Only you...
Separating from him, he smirked down at her, "I love you too."
Taking her in his arms, he scooped her up and made his way towards the bed before laying her down. Quickly, he got on top of her, the soft feel of her body driving him crazy.
He smirked like no tomorrow before leaning down to kiss her neck. He trailed small kisses along her neck, coming to take a small bite of her ear and Amu let out a small moan.
"Ikuto..." She breathed softly, a small moan slipping in the process.
"It´s time to make some sexy babies Amu..." Ikuto whispered in her ear huskily.
"Ikuto you pervert!"
