Chapter 1!

A/N: I got the idea for this two-shot story and I just had to write it before I forgot about the idea! It's my first ever story that's this short, so I hope I do well on it. It's based on the Bonds Beyond Time movie and this first Chapter is the lesser cannon of the two.

The Chapters both start as Yusei is about to make his final move. I apologize as some parts will obviously overlap.

Also, this is the first time I've ever used the Original (first series) Yu-Gi-Oh names, so I put Yugi in despite always being in his pharaoh form. I'm not sure what the real name should technically be (Yugi, Yami, or Atem) so I apologize if I am wrong.

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or it's characters.

Lastly, I also wrote this in the present tense, which I am not used to. I apologize for any grammar errors.

Yusei's POV

Wow! I can't believe it! I'm dueling with the great Yugi and Jaden Yuki. The only problem is that we have our backs to the wall and it's down to our last move. Or should I say...my move. "It's up to you. It's your move," Yugi tells me, "Just know that we're behind you. All of us are." I gasp and start to think about my five best friends. They all suddenly appear and I turn to face them. Crow, Leo, Luna, and Jack all smile at me, showing their support.

At last, but most certainly not least, I turn to her. I turn to the girl that I'm deeply in love with, yet I don't have the courage to tell her: Akiza Izinski. She not only smiles at me, but gives me a wink, reminding me of just how deeply I care about her. I then look on and all of my friends back home in New Domino City appear. There are more people than I can remember, but I worry about all of them and what will happen if I don't win this duel.

Suddenly, all of them disappear. All of them except one. It's Akiza and she is still smiling at me. She walks up to me, still holding her smile. It's the most beautiful smile in the entire world, but I could never say that out loud to her. She comes to a stop right in front of me. I tilt my head slightly downward, as she is only a tiny bit shorter than me.

"Don't worry Yusei. I know you can do it," Akiza says confidently towards me, "I believe in you, I have faith in you, and I support you. Just like you always have done for me." I smile at her, as she was right. I had helped Akiza through her darkest days and now she is one of the best students at Duel Academy. But she is much more than smart. Over the past few months, Akiza has become more open towards me and the rest of the world, showing the kind, gentle, loving side of her that she had to keep hidden for so many years. Not only is she a wonderful person on the inside, but on the outside as well. Long, silky smooth legs hold her frame up, that contains a tiny hourglass figure and tiny bottom. She has a chest so large, that I know I will never see one bigger in my lifetime. Her beautiful face contains brown eyes that I could stare at until the end of time. Still, despite all of that, what I find most attractive about her is her smile.

I can't help, but stare at her gently curved lips, as I wrap my arms around her. Akiza's mouth doesn't move a muscle as she returns my response, by putting her long, lean arms around my neck. We lean forward and close our eyes. Our lips meet in a wonderful kiss. It was only my first time, but it felt like the millionth time kissing her.

Third Person POV

Back in reality, Yugi and Jaden both look at Yusei. Instead of drawing a card, he has his arms in a tiny circle and his eyes closed. He is moving his head and lips, in a weird and odd manner. Even Paradox, despite trying to destroy all three of them, doesn't seem to understand what is going on. They all watch and stare as Yusei suddenly sticks his tongue out and starts to make some weird moaning sounds. Jaden and Yugi both look at one another, both confused and finding it odd.

"Yusei?" Jaden asks in a more talking tone. Yusei continues to make odd noises and movements. "Yusei!" Yugi finally shouts and Yusei snaps back into reality. "Huh? What?" he asks in confusion. "It's your move," Yugi reminds him. Suddenly, Yusei remembers what was going on and his eyes narrow. He turns towards Paradox and continues with his move.

In the end, the three of them were able to defeat Paradox and save the future. Still, even after the duel, the three new friends decide to stay and talk for a little while, before saying goodbye. Yugi lead them all to a burger shop nearby and they all take a seat in a nearby booth, after they had gotten their food. Some people look on in awe as Yugi sits down with his two unknown friends. Yugi just waves to them and then turns his attention back to his friends.

"Man! That was some duel," Jaden says excitedly, "It was so much fun!" Yugi just rolls his eyes. "Yeah. It sure was," he replies, "That was some last move we made." Yusei agrees, although Yugi and Jaden both look at each other. They both wonder how to ask Yusei about what was going on during his final turn. They both are sitting across from him and Jaden is the one to speak up.

"So, what were you doing during that last move Yusei?" Yusei looks confused. "What are you talking about?" Yusei asks, trying to refresh his memory. "You were making some...odd noises and you had your arms in a circle," Yugi adds, "And then you were sticking your tongue out." Yusei's eyes widen and he gasps. 'So...it wasn't a dream?' Yusei thinks inside his head. He was embarrassed beyond belief. What was he going to say and how was he going to respond? Unfortunately, Jaden doesn't give him much time to think.

"So what was that all about?" Jaden asks with curiosity. "Um...I...uh..." Yusei stumbles as Jaden takes a bite out of his burger. Yugi finally concludes something. "It looked like you were kissing," Yugi notes. Jaden turns to him. "You think Yusei was kissing?" He nods. "He had his arms in a circle and his lips and mouth were moving. That usually represents a kiss." Yusei looks away.

"Um...no...it wasn't a kiss. It was...a...um...bug. Yeah! A bug got in my mouth and I was trying to get it out!" Yusei replies, desperate not to have Jaden or Yugi question him further. Still, despite his plea, Jaden and Yugi had already made up their minds about what Yusei was doing. "Do you have a crush on someone bro?" Jaden asks and Yusei's face turns redder than Jaden's blazer.

"Crush? No. No. I don't have a crush," Yusei responds quickly and shyly as Yugi takes a sip of soda pop. "So who is the lucky girl?" Yugi asks. "Or guy?
Jaden adds. Yusei stops trying to denounce what he was saying and instead looks down at the table.

Here he was, with the King of Games and one of the greatest duelists of all time. Yusei had to refrain from telling Jaden what he already knew about him and that was that Jaden was going to become the most well-known, openly gay duelist of all time. Still, despite that fact, they could talk about so many other topics: duel strategy, how cards have changed, how times have changed, and so on. Instead, in the small time frame that Yusei gets to talk to both of them at the same time and place, they choose to discuss his love life. Yusei finally sighs and continues to look downward.

"All right. I admit it. I have a crush on...a very special girl." Jaden and Yugi smile. "So, who is it?" Jaden asks, "Tell us more about her." Yusei manages a small smile. "All right," Yusei replies, "Her name's Akiza and she is the most wonderful person I have ever met." He then explains how he helped save her from Sayer's grasp and how they helped defeat the Dark Signers. It wasn't a perfectly detailed story, but Yusei explained it as best as he could and it did take some time for him to finish. By the time he was done, all three had finished eating their fast food meals.

"So what made you fall in love with her?" Yugi asks and Yusei smiles, knowing the answer. "Just...seeing her smile," Yusei replies, "She has the most beautiful smile in the entire world. I wish I could have all the money in the world and buy her whatever she wants until her heart's content. Unfortunately..." Yusei takes out his black wallet and sees the few dollar bills in it. "I don't have a ton of money to do that. Besides, her family is already rich and could probably do that already." Yugi smiles.

"You don't necessarily have to buy her things that she needs or wants Yusei. All you have to do is be the person you already are." Yusei shakes his head. "But I can't do that. She's way too good for me. Besides..." He pulled off his blue blazer and shows his long thin arms and waist, which had no muscle to speak of.

"She's incredibly beautiful and I'm not some sort of super hunk! I never have been and never will be! So why would she want to go out with a guy like me?" Yugi and Jaden look at one another, before starting to pull off their blazers. "Yusei..." Jaden replies and soon their blazers are off too. Yusei looks on, as they too were no super hunks either. "Most guys aren't super muscular and neither are we," Yugi continued as the three of them put their jackets back on, "And you don't have to be. As long as a woman loves you for who you are, looks don't matter."

"Besides," Jaden continues, "Isn't there something that she enjoys about you?" Yusei thought about it for a moment. "I think...I think she just enjoys spending time with me. After all, when I look at her or do something with her, that's when I see her smile the most. It's also time when I smile the most." Jaden and Yugi nod. "So do that more often," Yugi suggests, but Yusei shakes his head.

"I can't! I've always had this serious side of me and she probably thinks of me as some kind of bad boy or rebel. But...that's not the real me. The real me is very shy guy with a huge soft spot. My foster mother Martha always teases me about it and I know she's right. So...showing the affectionate side of me just can't happen, because I know she'll reject it."

"How do you know?" Jaden asks, "Most people like it when their boyfriend or girlfriend shows them their soft side." Yugi nods. "You just need to have confidence in yourself. With everything you and this Akiza girl have been through together, I'm sure that she would be more than happy to see the kinder and gentler side of you." Yusei still has his self-doubt. "I don't know..." he replies nervously.

"Promise us something," Yugi says firmly as Yusei looks up. "Promise Jaden and me that, when you get back to your time, you'll tell this Akiza girl how you feel." Yusei shakes his head. "I don't think I can," Yusei responds. "Come on bro," Jaden replies, "You have to tell her at some point. Why not do it now? Besides, if things work out, then you'll have even more time to spend with her." Yusei liked the idea of spending more time with Akiza, but he was incredibly nervous about it. Yugi sticks out his hand.

"We'll make a promise. Right here and now." He looks towards Jaden and he nods, before putting his hand on top of Yugi's. "Come on bro. Put your hand in. It's clear as day that you have feelings for her and, if your story's true, then you've got a super sweet chance of her feeling the same way." Yusei looks at their hands. He wants so bad to tell Akiza how he feels, but the usual calm and cool Yusei wasn't there. "But I'm..." Yusei starts, before Yugi finishes his sentence.

"Nervous?" he asks as he follows it up with a chuckle. "It's okay to be nervous. Everyone gets nervous, even me. Plus, this isn't a duel we're talking about. It's opening your heart to someone you really care about and hoping that they will feel the same way. It's okay to be shy and be nervous. I can tell that about you already." Yusei looks down in embarrassment until Yugi continues. "But you just have to believe in what your heart is telling you." Jaden nods. "It's okay. Just promise us you'll do it and, that way, you'll have a very good reason to tell her." Yusei looks at two of the greatest duelists of all time. If they wanted to make a promise with him, then he knew that he should follow their lead. Yusei smiles before confidently putting his hand on top with them.

"All right. I promise to tell Akiza how I feel," Yusei says with confidence. Everyone nods and they let go of their hands.

Later, Yusei had returned back home to New Domino City. All of his friends were there to greet him and were overjoyed at what he had accomplished. Yusei then informed them about dueling with Jaden and Yugi. He told them about Paradox and how he was trying to hurt many people, including Pegasus. Everyone watched and listened closely, with Yusei taking notice of how close Akiza was to him. She smiled at him and said she was relieved that he was safe and sound, just like everyone else.

Now, it is nighttime and Yusei is in the garage by himself. Although, he is not going to be alone much longer. The door swings open and in comes a red haired young woman. "Yusei?" she calls and she looks to find her black and yellow hair friend. "Akiza?" he calls back and she happily comes down the ramp to his level. "Where is everyone?" she asks as she notices no one else around. "They all went out to go shopping and stuff. Jack needs more coffee and Crow wanted to tag along to make sure he didn't over indulge like always. The twins went along too, because Leo wanted to get a snack or something to eat." Akiza nods. "So, why are you here all alone?" Yusei smiles. "Well, I wanted to talk to you," he replies, "Here, take a seat."

Jack, Crow, and Yusei worked together to push an old sofa out into the middle of the garage. When they asked why, Yusei had informed them that the twins might want to stay over when they came back from shopping. In truth, Yusei wanted it for this moment only. Akiza takes a seat and Yusei sits to her left. "So, you wanted to talk to me?" Akiza asks, "Why? Is it something important?" Yusei nods as he leans forward and looks towards the ground in front of him. He feels his stomach doing flip-flops and he thought he was going to be sick. Still, Yusei knew the promise he had made to Jaden and Yugi. In truth, he didn't know how to start, so he just did it on the fly.

"I...um...well...I..." Yusei mutters as he didn't know what to say. Akiza tilts her head and smiles. The usual calm and cool Yusei seemed nervous and afraid. Akiza never really saw this side of Yusei before, but she actually is more than happy to see it. "What is it Yusei?" she asks as Yusei turns to her, causing him to see the smile that he finds so beautiful. In truth, Akiza is trying to make Yusei relax, but her smile is really making him more nervous. Yusei finally decides to slowly work his way up to what he really wants to say. He puts his hand on her left shoulder and fully turns to face her.

"I really like you Akiza," Yusei starts out, "You're a great friend and I'm really happy that you are my friend." Akiza's cheeks turn slightly pink. "Thank you Yusei. I'm really happy to be your friend too." Yusei is going to continue, but Akiza keeps talking. "I'm...really thankful for everything that you've done for me. I can't thank you enough, but here I go." She pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath. "Thank you Yusei. For everything you have done for me."

For the first time since the two had talked back and forth, Yusei dawns a smile on his face. "You're very welcome Akiza. And I really appreciate what I have been able to do to help you out and I want you to know that I will continue to help you out, in any way I can." Akiza and Yusei both stare at each other for a few moments, before Yusei looks away.

"I...No. The real reason why I asked you to come here is that I wanted to tell you something. Something that I didn't mention earlier, when I was telling everyone about what happened to me today." Akiza's face quickly becomes full of worry and curiosity. "You see...after we dueled Paradox, we went out and grabbed a bite to eat at a fast food place. We sat down and started talking."

"About what?" Akiza asks, "Dueling? Time? Guy stuff?" Yusei manages a small chuckle. It is short, but Akiza enjoys it none the less. "You'd think so, but...what we really talked about was...you."

"Me?" Akiza says in a stunned tone. A blush quickly appears on her face. 'The great Yugi and Jaden talked about me?' Akiza wonders. Now her mind is full of questions. "What did you say? Was it good things? You didn't make fun of me or my chest did you? What about..."

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Yusei says quickly with his hands in the air, "I'll tell you everything Akiza." Akiza stops talking, but Yusei leans in close and whispers to her. "Don't worry. It's good stuff." Akiza's nervous face quickly grows a smile.

"I told them all about Sayer and how he controlled you. I then I told them how I helped you get back together with you family. Next, I told them how we defeated the Dark Signers and all that stuff." Akiza quickly turns embarrassed. "You...told them about all of that?" Akiza asks and Yusei nods. "I also told them something else. Something that I've never told anyone else before." Akiza looks on in wonder as Yusei slowly told her the truth. "I told them...that I think you're...very beautiful." Akiza gasps. "You told them that?" Yusei nods. "I did and I told them that you're beautiful on the inside and the outside." Akiza blushes and the closes her eyes. She had never heard Yusei say something so romantic to her. After she takes a few moments to soak it in, she looks into Yusei's blue eyes. "You've never said something so beautiful and romantic about me before Yusei. I'm...I'm so happy that you feel that way about me." Akiza leans forward and gives Yusei a hug. Yusei becomes at a loss for words, as the two of them had never hugged before. Yusei slowly puts his arms around Akiza. The two of them lean back and look into each other's eyes. "Did you say anything else?" Akiza asks and Yusei grows a confident smile.

"Well..." he says a bit of shyness in his voice, "I told them that...you have the most beautiful smile in the entire world." Akiza gasps "Well...saying that certainly brings a smile on my face." Akiza knew what she was about to do was risky, but considering everything Yusei had said, it felt perfect for this moment. She starts leaning forward, before she suddenly pulls back. Akiza was afraid, because she had never done this before. Yusei tries the same thing, but he too ends up pulling back. The nervousness and first time feelings in Akiza were mutual for him. "Here," Akiza finally says and she closes her eyes. Yusei smiles and he follows her lead, with their arms still around each other. The two of them close the final distance as their lips come in contact with the other.

After a few moments, the two of them pull back. "You were my first kiss," Akiza replies. "You were my first kiss," Yusei echoes back. The two of them lean forward for another kiss. This one has more passion, as their lips move back and forth. The sound of moans and happily sighs can be heard from both of them. Yusei finally leans back on the couch seats, with Akiza on top of him. Despite their proactive position, no clothes are trying to be taken off. Akiza finally leans back, so they can catch their breath.

"Would...would it be okay if we kissed with our tongues?" Akiza asks in a low voice. Yusei smiles. "Only if I get to French kiss you back." Akiza and Yusei laugh and they start to kiss again, with moans and sighs of pleasure. Without noticing, the door suddenly opens.

"Yusei!" Crow cries, "We're back!" He suddenly stares as he notices Yusei and Akiza on the couch. Jack walks up and sees it too. "Whoa! Those two are really going at it!" Jack notices as the twins come up, carrying the groceries. "Who's going at it?" Leo asks as Jack and Crow turn around. "Uh...nothing!" Crow replies quickly. Jack and he quickly block their path in the doorway.

"Come on Jack!" Leo cries, "I want to see what's going on and I know your crotch is not what's going at it." Jack is going to yell at Leo for his comment, but Crow quickly stops him. "Come on Leo! Let's go and get us some ice cream, just like you wanted." Leo became excited, but Luna throws her two cents in. "But what about these groceries?" Luna asks, "We need to bring them inside."

"Yeah and my arms are tired," Leo replies quickly, "Can't we bring them inside and then go out for ice cream?" Jack and Crow shake their heads. "Nope! We've got to get that ice cream right now! After all the stories might close soon," Jack replies, "Come on! Back in Martha's car!" The twins groaned as they were forced to carry the heavy bags back to the car. Jack and Crow look at one another.

"About bloody time," Jack whispers. "I know," Crow answers back and they both hopped into the car.

Back inside, Yusei and Akiza had finished their first make out session. They both sat up and were catching their breath. "That...was...amazing," Akiza says before Yusei wraps her in a tighter hug. Akiza and he lock eyes. "I love you Akiza," Yusei says sweetly. "I love you too, Yusei." The two of them lean into each other, enjoying the moment.

'I did it!' Yusei thought as he opens his eyes and smiles, 'I kept my promise to Jaden and Yugi. I told Akiza about my feelings for her and she returns them!' Yusei looks up at the ceiling and imagines Yugi and Jaden smiling down at him. Yusei was so thankful that they had given him the confidence to tell Akiza how he felt about her. He finally mouths the words "thank you" before joining Akiza in the warm, comforting moment.

Although Yusei had to be pushed by two of the most famous duelists of all time, he was happy that they convinced him to tell Akiza about his feelings for her. It wasn't the way he had expected it to happen, let alone the only topic Yusei really got to speak to the two of them about, but it was something that would make him happy until the end of time.

A/N: Again, I apologize for any grammar or name issues.

I hope you'll look forward for the second Chapter of this two-shot!
