One kiss before angels fall…
"What's this?" she asked curiously as he handed the small box into her hands.
"Just a present, for your outfit. You're going as Queen Fairy of Roses, aren't you? He said nervously, running his fingers through his hair.
"Angel" she corrected quietly. "Queen Angel of Roses."
Yusei raised an eyebrow. "Why Queen Angel of Roses?" Yusei questioned, looking into the burgundy haired females deep, brown eyes. "I thought the purpose of this dress up party was the opposite of what you were?"
Akiza nodded.
"exactly." She smiled as he frowned. "Oh, lighten up Yusei. I can accept myself." She pushed at Yusei lightly, and he couldn't help releasing a laugh.
"So if you are an 'angel', black or white wings?" Yusei questioned, taking a step closer as Akiza fumbled with the box in her small, petite hands.
"I… I don't know yet." Akiza stumbled over her words as Yusei took another step closer to her, the lack of distance making her uncomfortable. He took her hands in his, smiling.
"I think you should go with black wings. It'll go with this." He laughed, tapping at the little box clenched between her whitened fingers.
"What is this anyway?" she asked, bringing their hands and the box up to eye level. Yusei saw the double meaning, but chose to ignore it.
"An early birthday present." He grinned. "Happy birthday!" Akiza blushed, fumbling with the pretty packaging... Yusei smiled, steadying her hands and she muttered a quiet thank you before releasing the box from the paper. Yusei removed the lid of the box gently, blushing very subtly, revealing the contents within.
Akiza gasped, her eyes raking over the simple sparkling jewels that sat peacefully inside the golden casing. Pulling the simple but extravagant earrings closer to her face, Akiza stuttered and tripped over a response to give to the generous young male.
"Do you like them?" Yusei asked, the slightest twinge of nervousness in her voice. Akiza looked up into his bright blue eyes, tears forming in the tips of hers. She threw herself into Yusei's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, effectively pulling him closer. He closed his eyes, placing his chin on the petite female's shoulder, trying to avoid hitting her with in his wild and untameable hair. He wrapped his fingers around the small of her back, hands brushing slowly along the corset that wrapped her already slim waist.
"I love them Yusei, they are just beautiful!" she mumbled into his shoulder gratefully as she gracefully pulled away, dragging her soft fingerless gloved hands down Yusei's arms, revelling in the soft cotton of his jacket. The two heroes smiled as their eyes interlocked, with no chance of looking away. The flickers of true emotions danced from eye to eye, the energy between each protagonist. Akiza closed her eyes, trying to dispel the thoughts of the bright azure eyes of the alluring young male, with his eyes sparkling as he watched her with those eyes that destroyed her defences every time.
Despite doing everything possible to ignore the intense gaze that was placed upon her, it wasn't effective in any way; until suddenly, the intense gaze was gone. Instead, a slight pressure filled Akiza's cheek and she could instantly tell what the situation had escalated to. Her eyes flew open as she stumbled back, opening the distance between Yusei's lips ad her cheek. His eyes were still closed, lips at the ready. When he realised she was no longer there, his eyes fluttered open, eyes filled with confusion as the reality of the situation set in.
"oh." Yusei whispered, and Akiza realised what message she had indirectly given. "I…I'm sorry Akiza." He stuttered slightly louder, starting to open the distance between Akiza and himself.
"Oh, no Yusei that's not what I…" Akiza stuttered, reaching out but just missing him as he stepped in front of the door.
"I'm so sorry Akiza. I have to go. Happy birthday." He rushed, scurrying through the door ad quietly closing it behind him. Akiza touched her cheek, gently running her fingers over the place where his lips had met her cheek, feeling the skin rush scarlet underneath her fingers.
He feels the same way. She thought to herself, heading towards the door and throwing it wide open. I have to reveal the same.

a/n: hey guys! I received a complaint about my romancy fics being in with my friendship ones, so I've decided to make another ficlet based solely on my romance genre fics for when I have the urge to write them. A lot of them currently are faithshipping or scoopshipping as these two are the easiest for me to write, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to suggest any. I love a challenge!
