(Jounouchi and Yuugi are walking side-by-side in an aisle surrounded by cherry blossom trees.)

Cherry blossoms are blooming, Jounouchi-kun, do you see them? Aren't they so pretty?

I see them Yuugi, I really do. Shizuka-chan loves how they smell--she recently got all of these lotions and perfumes that smell just like cherry blossoms.

They do smell pretty. Shizuka has good taste. And it's so nice just watching them fall--so serene, so nice.

Yeah, it is really nice. Not as nice or pretty as you, Yuugi.

(walking in silence for a while)

I never expected you to like flower-watching, Jounouchi-kun.

I usually don't, actually.

Then Jounouchi-kun, why'd you come?

I didn't want to disappoint you, Yuugi. You wanted me to come, so I came.

You wouldn't've disappointed me if you really didn't want to come.

Well, in a sense, I did want to come. But not for the flowers so much...

(Jounouchi blushes. Yuugi looks confused, then thoughtful.)

Are you trying to tell me something, Jounouchi-kun?

Um...well...um...

Cause, well....

(Yuugi changes his pace a little, now closer to Jounouchi's side, and takes his hand, squeezing it softly.)

You don't need to say anything, Jounouchi-kun.

Huh?

I know. And I don't mind. In fact....

(another squeeze)

I feel the same way.

(Jounouchi stops in his tracks, turning to face Yuugi, who is blushing as much as he is, then he smiles, bending down and holding Yuugi close.)

Spring is a time for renewals, and for new things to bloom, isn't it... I'm glad you do, Yuugi, I'm glad you do.

(Jounouchi leans in for a gentle kiss, innocent and sweet, the intoxicating scent of cherry blossoms surrounding them. Before they know it, the kiss has deepened and nothing else matters, not even the fallen petal that gets stuck in Yuugi's hair.)

Suki desu yo, Jounouchi-kun.

Suki desu yo, Yuugi.

zutto.

zutto.
