"AHHH! I'm in a nightmare someone please wake me!" Amu screamed dramatically as she adjusted her hands onto the sides of her head and streams of fake tears quickly streamed down her face as she felt her cheeks turn scarlet red.

"Actually, I believe this is more likely a dream," Ikuto corrected nonchalantly and smirked.

"Well maybe to you but not to me!" she hissed coldly and continued to blush furiously.

"It's way greater than any dream," he whispered in a alluring tone while he abruptly caressed her chin and added quietly with a smirk, "And would sharing an apple with me really be that bad...?"

"It's worse than bad! It's h-horrible!" she replied stuttering, attempting to sound repulsed as she was growing slightly nervous, and more blood was rushing to her cheeks.

"You didn't seem to protest when we shared that ice cream together that one time, " Ikuto reminded softly, his voice sounding so quiet but so attractive, and his mysterious dark-blue orbs stared into hers.

Amu's mouth began trembled as she twitched and her face heated up even more as his voice entered into her ears.

"T-That was d-different!" she protested mortified and clenched both of her fists tightly.

She felt his warm breath glide across her face as he inched even closer and whispered, "Is it?"

Before Amu could even reply, a abrupt spider hanging from it's web appeared in front of her eyes and her eyes widened enormously in fear. She instantly screamed loudly, utterly terrified, and she fell down on her bottom.

Ikuto chuckled as he adjusted his right hand into his pocket while the spider crawled back up it's web, returning to the ceiling, and he helped her up.

Her eyes were watery, almost close to tears, and she couldn't even believe how startled and frightened she really was towards the tiny insect.

"You're really scared of spiders, huh?" Ikuto asked casually while smirking and chuckled quietly as he adjusted both his hands into his pockets.

"N-No! That just really startled me!" Amu defended while clenching both of her fists, her eyes fierce, and she was blushing of embarrassment.

"Hn. If you say so..." he mumbled, the tone of his voice still playful, and his eyes shifted downwards towards the floor.

"I...I just want to go home... I miss everyone," Amu admitted in a depressive tone and looked down towards the floor with sullen eyes.

He stared intensively at her for a moment and inched closer.

"Didn't you miss me all this time..?" he asked quietly, his voice full of curiosity, and they locked eyes.

She blushed and avoided eye contact. "U-Uh... Well, I guess I did... A little..."

"Do you remember what I told you...?" he questioned, his alluring voice slithered into her ears like a snake, and remained staring at her intensively.

Amu didn't know why; however, she felt panic surge through her at hearing his question, and her cheeks turned the color of crimson.

"I don't want to remember your stupid teasing!" Amu huffed stubbornly, pretending not to care, and she turned her head the other way.

He cupped her chin, instantly making her look into his stern eyes, and she felt as if her heart was dancing excitedly. The pinkette's trembling eyes widened enormously, her pupils constricting, and her mouth hung open innocently in shock.

"You know what I said... It was true. I really do love you..." Ikuto whispered softly but sternly and Amu's entire face flushed of pink.

Amu was speechless as she inched back as shivers rushed down as spine while she was blushing furiously.

He smirked. "Like I said, I WILL make you fall in love with me."
