Chapter One
The tall figure strolled, in the moonlight, towards the glossy black door of the warm little house. He knocked three times before stepping back.
A minute later, a beautiful young woman opened the door, apron on and oven gloves in hand.
"Seto?" She asked.
The figure nodded and scooped her up in his arms. How he missed her cupcake scent, her smooth skin and her sweet voice!
"I thought you weren't back until next January! I missed you so much!" She dropped her gloves and raked her elfin hands through his silky brown locks as their lips collided in a flurry of passion. She hadn't seen her lover for almost a year. It broke her heart when he said he had to leave Domino. They slowly released out of each other's embrace as Serenity led him inside.
"I missed you too Serenity." Was the cold reply. "I'm here for a reason though."
Serenity looked surprised and motioned for him to sit on the black leather couch next to her. He gazed into her hazel eyes and continued.
"I know we've been apart for ten months but... You won't believe how much of a think I've had over this... I know it seems like we hardly know each other anymore since we hardly talked but I really do love you. These six years with you have taught me how to it feels to have someone who really cares about you, apart from Mokuba, and you don't know how amazing you are. I mean, you actually made me get over my babyish rivalry with your brother."
Serenity starting giggling. "Yes, with a lot of bribing!"
Seto cracked a tiny smile too. Well, it more of a smirk but still, it counted for the guy!
"All you did, was make Joey a few three-foot long subway sandwiches and give me an amazing, beautiful woman who loves me for me and whom I can also love." He moved closer towards her, pulling the young woman into his lap. "Then again, twenty sandwiches is a lot of food..." They kissed again, she giggled, as one of his hands wove through her auburn hair while the other pulled her waist closer to his. Serenity firmly placed her hands around his long neck as she pressed her lithe figure against his. Softly, he began to nibble on her bottom lip. She got the hint, opening her soft lips to let him wander inside her mouth. Oh, how they missed this!
A few minutes later, they pulled away, breathless. "I love you!" They exclaimed simultaneously. They both laughed at this. No matter how long they were kept apart, they always came out with their confessions at the same time.
"Well, now that I'm sure of that, will you, Serenity Arabella Wheeler, marry me?" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gorgeous engagement ring. The sapphire in the center was surrounded by the two curving silver bands. She couldn't guess how much it cost! It probably didn't put a dint in Seto's fortune, but it was still so beautiful!
Tears began to fall as she screamed, "YES!"
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Joey came banging down the stairs in his boxers and a plain white shirt, to see his baby sister frenching her egotistical boyfriend as he slipped a ring onto her finger. The two broke apart for air as Serenity buried her head into his neck.
"Kaiba? What da hell are you doin' back here? You're meant ta be in freakin' Europe! Not gettin' fresh wid ma baby sista!"
"Joey, look! We're getting married!" Serenity rose from her fiancé's lap, bounding over to her big brother to show off the ring. When he saw it, Joey couldn't help but let out a whistle.
"Youse are gettin' married? When was dis decided? Why wasn't I told?" He was flabbergasted, upset and downright confused. Who did Moneybags think he was, to come waltzing into his home and whisk his sister off to his fancy mansion?
"For your information, I was in Europe. We finished work early and the parks are just getting a few touch-ups until a representative can open them up. I decided now was a good time to come home and tie the knot with my lovely little maiden. It was decided just a few moments ago before you came stomping down and technically, you would've been the first person who was told since you were upstairs sleeping... Or I presume since we are in the presence of a lovely lady."
"Seto!" Serenity giggled.
Joey crossed his arms and glared at his future brother-in-law (boy, did he wish otherwise!). "What're you implyin' moneybags? Youse betta not be tinkin' I jack off! I AIN'T A PORN ADDICT HERE!"
Suddenly, a sharp cry resonated through the walls. "Oops," Joey whispered.
"JOSEPH! What have you done! I just got him to sleep!" A second later, a very disheveled Mai marched down the stairs, in a black dressing gown, a bundle in her arms. The bundle of blankets seemed to be the source of the noise. "No, no baby, don't cry. It's okay, it's okay. Shhhh." Mai's once bright violet eyes had faded and there were dark bags underneath them, along with a few wrinkles, making her seem a lot older than twenty-six! She started to rock the child in her arms as she raised her head to glare at her husband of two years. "Look what you've done." She hissed. "You know how difficult it is to get Lucas to sleep!" Her eyes fell on Serenity. "What is he babbling about now?"
Serenity turned to Seto, who stood there, wide-eyed and frozen. "When did you get a nephew?"
"He was born four days ago, and boy is he trouble! Just like your daddy, aren't you?" Mai cooed at her adorable baby boy. She'd always wanted to be a mother. When she found out she was pregnant with Lucas, everything got scary. She didn't think Joey would be very happy if, out of the blue, there came a child and got rid of all the attention he got from her. She didn't think to tell him until she was six months along. She didn't think to buy pregnancy vitamins or see a gynecologist until then either. Labor was difficult and the doctors didn't think she could get through it. But the thought of her baby growing without a mother (and with a baboon of a father instead) gave her the will to fight on.
"My question still hasn't been answered though. What were you shouting about?"
"Your husband just found out that he's lost his little sister to me." Seto stated proudly.
Mai was astonished. "What? Do you mean..." Serenity nodded. "You do? Eeeeehh! This is so exciting! If I was a little less fat, I'd love to be a bridesmaid! Show me the ring!"
Serenity gave her hand as the girls both squealed quietly so they didn't awake their little bundle of joy. Serenity was never happier. Her lover had come home three months early and proposed! She felt a hand snake around her waist and smiled at her fiancé. "I love you" wasn't enough. Instead, she turned her whole body towards him and captured his lips with so much love and passion, it shook the world.
There ya go! One thousand, two hundred and fifty-five words for the first chapter! Kinda short, but who cares?
I'd just like to clarify the ages of the characters! Seto is twenty-four, Serenity is twenty-two, Joey is twenty-three, Mai is twenty-six, Yugi and the rest of gang (whoever I bother to mention) are all twenty-three, Mokuba is seventeen and if we mention anyone else, we'll put their age in. As a side note, I've chosen Domino City to replace New York. Domino just reminds me so much of it, I just had to do that!
