11As the brunette opened the door , her eyes widened in happiness as all traces of worry disappeared from her eyes.
"KAIRI!" she cheered and jumped into his arms.
The green haired man flushed instantly as he felt the girl's warmth surround him , this was the only person who could compete with Amu when it came to blushing.
"Y-yaya-san!" he protested despite how much he loved having her in his arms.
"Jeez.." Yaya pouted as she separated from him "What's wrong with a small hug?"
He sweatdropped at his girlfriend's childish behavior. When am I going to get used to this? he thought as he chuckled inwardly.
"And?" he began "Wheres the Joker?"
Yaya eyes went wide before she gave a small sigh "About that.. She's not very.. cheerful right now..."
He raised his eyebrow . From the day he knew , the Joker was always cheerful. Her optimistic thinking had even beaten Yaya sometimes . It was also the reason he had a crush on her in the past. Even when she was unhappy , she would never let the unhappiness last because she didn't want anyone to worry. That was why she was the most trusted friend to everyone.
"What happened?"
Amu hugged her knees tightly as she sat on the floor , a pink towel wrapped around her. She wore a huge oversized orange shirt and a pair of shorts that she had left behind from the numerous times she had stayed at Yaya's.
With her head buried in her arms , Ikuto's look when he heard her confession flashed past her head repeatedly. Her hold against the towel tightened as she felt the need to cry hard increase along with the speed of her heartbeat.
I can't cry.. Or else.. everyone will worry...
But.. I JUST CAN'T STOP IT!
Before she knew it , she was crying with all her might , tears streaming down her cheeks like a burst pipe as she made no attempts to wipe them.
She felt like it was the end of the world. As though all the bad things had decided to come and join her at the same time. She wanted to cry all day without anyone stopping her. Because it was the only way it could make her feel a little bit better.
Ikuto...she thought as her cries. got louder and louder. She hated herself for falling in love with him. Why couldn't she love Tadase? Tadase had always been right next to her , patiently waiting . But no , instead of choosing someone she was sure she could rely one forever , she had to choose the man who was nowhere to be found and didn't even love her back. She felt foolish and stupid.
She could just imagine Ikuto and whoever his girlfriend was, laughing at her stupidity.
The thought of it made her feel worst.
"Goddammit!" she scream out as she raised her head up , crying fully , not bothering to hide the tears in her arms anymore.
Suddenly, the room door slammed open and her best friend stood there , a worried look on her face "Amu-chi?"
The moment she saw her pink-haired friend sitted on the floor , crying and crying like there was no end , she felt like crying too.
"Amu-chi!" she cried out and ran forward to hug her friend, shutting the door close. All of a sudden , they were both crying as though it was the end of the world.
"W-why are you crying too!" Amu sobbed out.
"B-because , Yaya doesn't like it when A-amu-chi cries!" Yaya sobbed back loudly.
Within a matter of minutes , their sobs sounded something like crazy monsters with low-pitched voice whining and crying and their faces was filled with tears , their hair covering every inch of their faces.
They dragged the cries out as hiccups interrupted their sobs ever few seconds.
Urgent footsteps could be heard as the door was once again slammed open.
"What happened?" the samurai gasped at the sight in front of him.
"A-ah! B-both of you! W-why are crying!" he panicked and jumped around the room trying to stop them.
Finally , as their sobs quieten down , Kairi slumped against the wall tiredly . The two best friends separated and stared at each other ,hiccuping lightly with their eyesight slightly blurred from the tears.
They blinked at each other's ghostly looks and burst into a huge laughing fit.
This sent Kairi into another frenzy of panic.
His jaw fell apart as he began wondering about the sanity of his girlfriend and the girl whom he reffered to as the 'Joker'.
As the laughters finally stopped , Yaya reached forward and rubbed the tears off her friends face with her thumb and gave her a small relieved smile "Amu-chi..are you okay?
Amu's eyes went wide as she realised how worried her friend had been.
Her eyes softened as she let out a strangled sob "I .. miss Ikuto..."
Yaya's eyes widened "Amu..chi"
She knew that her friend loved the blue-haired man. But she never knew that her feelings for him was so deep..
"I miss Ikuto" she whispered again , looking down as tears rose up to the brim of her eyes.
"E-even though I told myself.. that if he didn't love me.. then I-I'll have to forget about him.. B-but.. I just can't do it.. I l-love him so much..." she sobbed out.
"I love him so much that I hate myself for it!" she cried out.
"Amu-chi..." Yaya whispered as she hugged her friend tightly once again , patting soft soothing circles on her back.
She shot Kairi a worried look as Amu started crying again into her shoulder.
"Its okay.." Yaya whispered comfortingly.
Amu felt like screaming. It was not okay at all-
"ARGH! NO ITS NOT OKAY AT ALL!" Yaya screamed out before she could.
Amu stopped her cries in surprise. She looked up from her friend's shoulder and stared in shock at Yaya's angered face.
"I CAN'T BELIVEE IKUTO-CHI WOULD DO THIS! HE'S SO BAD!" Yaya screeched "ITS ALL HIS FAULT!"
"I hate him! I HATE HIM ! I HATE HIM!" she whined as she laid back on the floor , hitting her arms and leg against the floorboard hard like a little kid.
Amu turned and stared at Kairi who in turn , stared back at her.
Before they knew it , they were smiling at each other.
Both of them crawled forward and laid down on the floor , Amu to the left of Yaya and Kairi to the right.
Amu placed a hand on top of Yaya's stopping her childlike whines.
Yaya blinked and turned lightly to look into the eyes of her best friend "Amu..chi?"
Amu gave her a small smile "Thank you..Yaya..."
Yaya's eyes softened as a relieved smile took over her "Amu-chi..."
"Sorry to interrupt but.." Kairi started in an annoyed way "What about me?"
The two girls were the only one whom Kairi allowed to show his kid-like tantrums which occured not too oftenly. He was always polite to everyone. But when it came to his girlfriend and his best friend , he couldn't help but feel like acting like how a normal kid would act like rather than his normal character , a chairman would.
Yaya grinned and stood up , jumping on Amu and Kairi and giving them the tightest group hug ever.
"H-hey , Yaya-san! You're rubbing your tear-stained face onto my cheeks! Please stop that!" Kairi protested.
Amu grinned , these two were always next to her , supporting her every decision.
She wouldn't know what to do without them.
"Alright!" she shouted and turned , pushing Yaya and Kairi under her and she hugged them tightly , rubbing her cheeks onto both of theirs.
"H-hey , Amu-chi! That's ticklish!" Yaya giggled.
"J-joker! I demand for you to stop your rude actions now!" Kairi shouted , blushing.
"Aww , don't be shy!" Amu shouted and tickled both of them hard.
"Kyaa!" Yaya screamed .
Yaya sat up with a pout "Alright! Kairi , begin attack now!"
Kairi who was still panting , stared at his girlfriend like she was crazy "What attack- Oh..."
His mouth curved into an understanding grin as Yaya began tickling Amu like crazy.
"Y-yaya , S-sorry for just now! P-please let me off! W-wait , Kairi , w-why are you helping her!"
"No way!" Yaya shouted.
"Its revenge" Kairi stated calmly.
Amu's cold heart had began to warm up already.
She really did love her two best friends.
