Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You won your bet," she said with a shy smile. He blinked and dropped his gaze from the sunset to her, she seemed to smile uncertainly but needed to elaborate, Which bet was she talking of...? "Even as a kid, I seriously considered what you said to me. I didn't understand much about those kinds of feelings back then, as I'm sure you realized, but maybe I was already falling for you-- just a little bit..." Ah, their bet when they last parted... but wait. He furrowed a brow a little as she spoke, she had been a kid back then who seemed in some ways more mature for her age and at the same time quite naive in other things, innocent. It is what made it so amusing to tease her because she gets lost in the moment, he could hear her heart racing and her breath catch, and then she'd start blushing enough to make him wonder where her thoughts were going; he has long since believed that Amu is a pervert, not that he is one to talk in that regards, still the way she'd get sooo angry made it worth teasing her so much back then. He knew that she was attracted to him even back then but the way he teased her left her often frustrated and flustered around his person. He stayed silent to let her continue.

She looked out to the horizon as the sun continued to set and paint the sky with shades of orange and pink. "Wow. I wonder now if Tadase noticed that in me." The usual -kun she added to his name was missing. Ah Tadase, vaguely Ikuto wondered if that kiddy king has finally grown up as much as Amu seems to have. He could recall multiple incidents that was between the three of them, Amu usually finding herself in a comprising situation that looked suspicious when ever Tadase would show up, like that one time he teased her for having a chocolate and vanilla ice cream, how he taunted Tadase with a comment 'I'm going to eat your ice cream and Amu.' Ah old days... "I wonder if that's why things didn't work out.... Huh. If that's true, then I guess that means you really are my first love!... After all, they say, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.'" She chuckled at that, her cheeks tinged slightly pink.

When he had kissed her, it hadn't been her first kiss, her words confirm his thoughts that perhaps she had dated Tadase for a time during her high school years, hearing that it hadn't worked out didn't make him feel victorious over Tadase but simply silent certainty, Tadase isn't Amu's type, not really. Tadase is too gentlemanly with her, as far as he could tell even back then, Tadase had not been able to get her to be herself around him, not truly. Or share more personal secrets with him as they dance around weather or not they loved one another. Ikuto had been there for Amu in ways that Tadase couldn't fathom. He heard her say that he, Ikuto had been her first love even back then despite opposing circumstances, he had been more intriguing to her then the King ever could be. He felt a small smile tug on his lips at this confession about their past, he had made sure that she didn't forget him when they parted ways. Between prank calls, and Yoru sending pictures to her or Utau every so often.

"What I'm trying to say is that, I think..." That wasn't what she wanted to say. She stopped, took a deep breath, and started her sentence over. Staring into Ikuto's deep blue eyes, she said with a smile, "What I'm saying is that I know, Ikuto... that I've fallen in love with you." When he heard these final words, he felt a tension relax inside him, he had almost known it the moment he saw her again yesterday, but it felt...good to hear her say it. To say it, and mean it with her entire heart. He sighed, his eyes closed after having gazed into her honey gold eyes for a long searching moment. He pulled her closer to him, almost onto his lap into his tight embrace. He rested his chin on her shoulder, he always wanted to protect her, he spoke more strongly with actions then with words. His warm breath tickled her neck and he leaned back a tad...

"I love you, Amu."

Forever.

So long as she is his to love.

Ikuto tried to get away from her but she wouldn't let him, at some point tickling him with both hands while he struggled to get away, he needed more leverage then this. The ruckus woke up his chara and her charas, Yoru floating up rubbing his eyes and mewling with "Nyaa..was going on...?" yawning then floating over the bed to see Amu tickling his friend, which utterly breaks Ikuto's outward facade. "Nya! Ikuto!" His tail fluffed a bit, he himself is very ticklish recalling an mean incident when the rest of the gang tied him up for with holding information about Lulu, then tickled him with feathers until he couldn't breath. A chara often reflects their owner in many ways, as their would-be-selves, they often like everything that their owners like, and at the same time share some things that their owns have in weaknesses as well. Though catnip isn't one of the things Ikuto cares for.

When Ikuto had let her go she moved to her knees hovering over him, he is getting tangled up in the sheets of the bed, when he'd snatched one of her wrists she tickled at him with the other. As sometimes a tickle assault goes, if one can't get to one sweet spot, then the attacker tends to leap to other possible ticklish spots...such as ones rib-cage or sides or perhaps even teasing at his ears. He jerked and tried to deflect her with a pillow, his voice incapacitated due to fits of laughter. His body twitching spasmodically when she tickled at his ribs or belly as she was able to. Right...he needs either escape or enough leverage to get her back before he finds himself at her mercy 100%. It would happen when Amu tickled at his ears as well while attempting to tickle him elsewhere.

Accompanied with fits of giggles he let out a sound that is inhuman, "Nyaan...he-a-Amu - you are soooooo dead....nyack!" A spattering of sparkles as he character changed mid-way through that sentence, his human ears abruptly replaced with cat ears and a long semi-fluffy wiry tail came into being wriggling and twitching in echo of Ikuto's aggravation. It wound around one of her legs, the tip brushed up and down her bear thigh. The only problem with character changing is his renewed sensitivity. A cat is touch sensitive, along with all other heightened senses like sight, hearing and reflexes. A cat's sense of touch is 3x as sensitive as a human's sense of touch. Which unfortunately for him, amplified the tickling sensation greatly.

Amu nearly fell on top of him a few times when she lost her balance, unable to torture him with a strait face she too giggling infectiously. His situation would have been made even still that much worse if Amu's charas decided to be mean to Yoru in a similar fashion, which between laughter, Yoru would purr loudly to attempt to sooth himself and aid himself to endure and relax and wait for it to stop. The twin assault would have left Ikuto's mind incapable of controlling the situation and therefore left him at Amu's mercy. When she stops and he has an instance to catch his breath, then he will gladly return this attack without mercy. That is if she lets him catch his breath.

'Thanks yoru...not' Ikuto inwardly grumbled with an eye-roll after he'd character changed meaning to try and get away from amu but didn't put it entirely into calculation of how horrendously he has screwed himself by character changing. He was ticklish before he changed, now he was locked in a fit of hysterical laughter, tears having come to his eyes as every nerve suddenly seemed amplified thrice over which made his sweet spots almost deadly. All he could do with no strength to get away now is curl up and try to protect his most sensitive spots by deflecting her fingers with his arms or hands. He had been able to catch her off guard when he teased her back with his tail. She stopped attack his main body with one hand, just as he'd managed to deflect her other hand again did she get evil with him. He'd never had anyone touch his chara-changed cat tail before. he had toyed with Amu's kitty tail when she'd become amulet neko and she had all but melted.

He felt her fingers brush along his tail, it sent shivers riding up his spine since the appendage is attached. The fur is as soft as his own hair and feeling her fingers run over it, agitating the fur and every nerve ending in his tail distracted him from keeping her other hand at bay, if she chose to sit on him and play with it in inventive ways such as chara changing with any of her charas he could imagine the tools she could summon to play with, such as soft paint brushes or other things. Her other hand slid down to tickle at his lower belly again making him yelp and roll over abruptly onto his stomach, "Nope." he give up? not likely, on some strange level he almost enjoyed this fiasco, like an attention starved cat if only it weren't a tickle torture. Though if Utau shows up during this then he is most certainly doomed especially if his sister opted to join Amu in playing with him, he may even deserve the torture attacks for how he treated utau in the past.

Having successfully turned over onto his stomach, he perched himself up on his elbows and glanced back at her as she had by then unwound his tail from her leg and is fondling it, his ears vaguely turned back, also by now the sheets have been kicked off the bed and he is only wearing his boxer shorts, the tail is twitching and jerking to get free but is also giving off the cat-like body language of too much stimulation yet now he wondered what she was going to do next. Take the moment to breath deeply to catch his breath while watching her. Yoru in the meanwhile sweat dropped when the 4 girls turned on him then he took off fleeing the girls attempting to hide and escape them, "Nyaaaaa Ikuto! Help me!" As coordinated as the girls are in herding x-eggs they'd pretty soon find him cornered where no doubt Ran tackled him and attempted to restrain him while the other girls tickled him. "EEEEK Ikuto H-help!"

On the one hand Amu had quit tickling him when he rolled over onto his stomach, but she was still fondling his tail. She cooed at him in a fashion similar to her kid sister that it seemed unusual for her, apparently being able to touch him in this state and learning he has touch based weaknesses is giving her a type of vindictive pleasure out of teasing the hell out of him. He still felt her fingers rubbing up and down his tail, it sent shivers up and down his spine, and yet at the same time he felt a need start to form as the teasing became somewhat more pleasing as she played with his tail, petting it, rubbing it up and down, twirling it between her fingers. Or just massaging it between her fingers left different sensations then the twinging tingles that left him feel giggly. But rather the opposite, The nerves that trace from his tail base connect to the sensation and nerves around a major artery in the body, its like a ripple effect, the pleasing sensations ripple from his tail base and through his loins as well as up his spine. In theory she could just as easily be fondling another part of his anatomy.

His breathing aided the sensations causing the desire to grow in a pleasing matter. He nearly started to purr which would increase and amplify the fun sensations. That is when she stopped, he felt a twinge of disappointment, shifting himself a little feeling the altered state below. Glancing at his clock he saw that it is 6:20am, the alarm is due to go off in another 40 minutes. After the wake up call he wondered if he'd be able to fall asleep again after that, part way considering to go ahead to get up and take a shower. But...really...he should have known better then to think that Amu would stop it at that. Just like what happened the last time she woke him up this weekened, the second round is always a doozy!

Ikuto grunted when abruptly Amu jumped onto his back all the way flattening him a bit to the bed, then sat up on him, her knees on either side of his waist as she straddled him, her lil pert bum resting on his arse. This didn't help the already brewing problem on the other side of his waist as he felt her thighs clench against his sides as though a cowgirl determined to ride a bucking stallion and stay on the longest. She cackled, Cackled like a madwoman as she reached over his person to take hold of his cat ears, one in each hand to fondle instead and vigorously. "... Because I can do this!!" Each of her hands latched onto one of Ikuto's ears, and she began rubbing her thumbs over the appendages carefully. The fur around his ears bristled as she ruffled them, but Amu was careful not to rub too hard and hurt him

Ooooh she may have just bitten off more then she can chew with this stunt. Especially after having confessed to love him just last night, that opened new doors and advantages he could exploit if he wanted to. But after fondling with his tail in ways that...hisses lets just say she would have needed to fallow up on what she is starting if she hadn't have stopped. And then she straddles his already aroused body, putting friction in places and awareness that increased the velocity of his desire. And as if she couldn't have possibly giving him a stronger reason to go, go, go...then to play with his ears. Had he not once told her that they are an erotic zone of his, and in his current mood it is least likely that she'd be able to put him back to sleep now. "Amu..." he started to speak but trailed off, bowing his head forward, arching his shoulders a little and for a moment lost in layers of sensations.

She cackled with further glee as she played with his ears, she thought he was going to wriggle? He is an attention starved, love starved free alley cat who has waited for her to grow up, has desired her since she was 12 but refrained from attempting to seduce her till she was older. The feel of her fingers messaging his neko ears which are nearly 5x as sensitive as his normal ears which were one of his erotic zones left him for the moment incapacitated in strong stimulation and need. His breath hitched a bit, "Amu...." because she is kinda sitting on the base of his tail, her giggling causing her body to shake and rub the sensitive base combined with the tension of her thigh muscles caused him to moan as the sensations only increased. A deep base rumbling began in his chest and caused a strong vibration to buzz through his own body as he began to purr deeply, she might think that cute...until she sees the other fun things about having a life-sized vibrator beneath her and between her legs.

Gods it felt so good...

"Amu...." He wanted to say don't stop, but if she continues then he is most likely going to let his more primal instincts take over and well...they might miss the first several classes... Yoru is incapacitated with hysterical laughter to notice the new state that his friend is in to warn Amu or do anything about it.
