Snowflake Confessions
Yami/Anzu
Yami sat on the window bench in Anzu's living room watching the endless flurry of white dots outside.
Anzu giggled as he reached a finger out to touch the window and jolted back at the coldness of it.
The whole day had been spent like this and Anzu thought it was cute that the Pharaoh was so fascinated with such a tiny object.
His attention was broken as he heard her begin to giggle then burst into a fit of laughter.
He couldn't help but smile as he turned to her and the thought that flashed through his mind startled him.
'She's so beautiful when she laughs like that.'
She stopped suddenly when she noticed him staring at her.
She was sitting on the couch across from him dressed in a white velvet gown with a tiny pair of angel wings on her shoulders.
In contrast he was dressed in a black velvet suite with a white tie.
They were going to a party later that evening at, of all places, Seto's mansion.
While being endlessly fascinated by the snow, Yami had also been thinking about things.
Like how he and Anzu had become closer and that it had been four years since the world was threatened; two since Seto had given up on beating Yugi and gone on with his life; one since he had finally begun to see them as friends...with the exception of Jonouchi.
It seems that Anzu had been thinking the same things.
"It's been an amazing four years hasn't it Yami?"
He nodded with a warm smile.
As he looked at her he found no words to say except one that he kept repeating in his mind.
'Beautiful.'
That was the only word to describe her.
Her hair had grown some since high school and part was put into a bun on top of her head while the rest curled tightly over her right shoulder.
She smiled almost nervously.
"Why aren't you talking?"
That brought him out of his haze and he smiled brightly.
"You just took all the words out of my mouth. You look really nice tonight."
His heart skipped as she kissed his cheek and hugged him.
"Thank you Yami, you do too."
She took his hand with a giggle.
"Come with me."
She gave him little room to argue and pulled him out the front door.
"Won't we get wet out here?"
She shook her head with a wink.
"Not for long anyway."
She suddenly took off into a sprint and Yami found it a little difficult to keep up with her
When they were both out of breath she pulled him down onto something soft and warm.
He looked around and suddenly realized they were sitting near the lake on a swing that had been hung under a pagoda.
The cushions were still warm from the last rays of sun sinking away.
He leaned back into the soft fabric and began to gently push them.
Anzu gave a contented sigh as he pulled her closer and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Yami suddenly spoke without really thinking.
"I have a confession."
Anzu looked up at him.
"And that is?"
Yami smiled as he pulled her closer.
"I love you."
Anzu smiled and closed her eyes.
"I love you too."
They sat there for a while, watching the snow fall and Yami looked down at her.
"Can I kiss you?"
She smiled and nodded.
He kissed her sweetly.
"I still love you."
She giggled.
"It's only been fifteen minutes I hope so."
He stared into her eyes and couldn't keep the smile from his lips.
"I have another confession."
Anzu took his hand and stretched out, laying her head in his lap.
"Yes?"
He leaned down and kissed her again.
"I fell in love with you a long time ago."
She nodded.
"I fell in love with you the first time you saved my life."
He only stared into her eyes again as he continued to push the swing.
They stared into each others eyes for a while until he spoke again.
"I have one last confession."
She nodded, taking his hand.
"I've never seen snow before."
At this she burst into another fit of laughter.
"I can tell."
He softly touched his hand to her cheek.
"I'm glad I first saw it with you. Come on, it's probably time to go."
She nodded and pulled him to his feet.
She held his hand as they walked slowly back to the apartment.
The snow seemed to stick to Anzu's hair and Yami lifted her hand to his lips as he watched the soft white flakes melt into her.
"Anzu."
She looked up.
"Yes?"
He smiled and kissed her.
"I still love you."
She giggled as the reached the door.
"I still love you too."
Yami smiled again and opened the door for her.
"It's only been forty-five minutes...I hope so."
She shook her head.
"It's been a life time."
They stood in front of the fire place and he wrapped her tightly in his arms.
"I think I'll love you in another fifteen minutes."
Before she had time to reply he kissed her and spoke quietly.
"I think we'll still be in love for thefifteen minutes that add up into the rest ofour lives."
She nodded silently and closed her eyes as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"The snow is so pretty."
Yami nodded as he looked down at her.
"You're a snow angel come to life...and you're all mine."
She giggled as he held her closely.
" I wouldn't have it any other way."
