Love of Angels
Chapter 6
Atemu attempts to say something more but my stomach growls, causing me to blush just a little.
"Sorry...I had a light breakfast."
"Then let's go eat."
After eating breakfast at the local pancake shop, we began to walk around town. I glance around catiously, worried that Kaji might have men keeping an eye on me. Just then a crimson motorcycle speeds down the road.
Maybe Bakura didn't see us.
But the sound of it turning and coming up behind us proves me wrong. I grab Atemu's hand and dart into an alley up ahead. I swing him into the shadows of the wall and press myself against him so that neither of us can be seen.
It works as the sound dies in the distance. With the danger gone I let a smile break out onto my countenance as I tilt my head up at him. Stepping back I trip over my own two feet but Atemu reaches and pulls me back against him so that I don't fall.
I feel my face instantly heat as he holds me, worried he'll see I lean my forehead against his chest.
"Are you okay?"
"I think so..." Calmed and the fear of him seeing my flush gone, I lift my face back up to see him, "Thank you."
Atemu leans his head down so that our lips are only centimeters apart. He gently whispers against my mouth, "I love you," before cutting off any words I had in mind. He breaks away from me but presses his forehead against my own.
There's no way...I didn't know that I could fall that fast. There's no way that I can already feel my heart race when he's near me...There's no way that I deserve him.
"I...I love you too."
"Will you be my girlfriend?" The second my head bobs up and down he laces his around my waist and pulls me back into a soft kiss. "Would you like to meet my brother? I need to go back anyway...to apologize."
"Yes, it sounds like a good idea."
As he walks me to this warehouse on the side of town, he explains that it's the only place that the A.H.A wouldn't check. That they expect them to hide in plain sight. Once there he cautiously opens the door and steps inside. "Yugi? I'm home."
"In the living room!"
Atemu continues to lead me to the living room where Yugi sits comfortably on the couch. His eyes go straight to our linked hands. "Who's this?"
"Yugi this is Alexia, Alexia this is Yugi. She's my girlfriend."
The teen smiles at me even though the look of surprise shows utter disbelief. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to finally meet you as well."
Yugi focuses his attention back to his brother, efficently ignoring my presence. "Atemu, what happened to your cheek?"
I glance at Atemu and he seems just as I am. But he merely shrugs at Yugi, "I don't know. Why don't you just ask your boyfriend? He seems to know everything these days."
Yugi only has time to blink before Atemu has us out the front door. "Alexia, meet me at in the park at eight tomorrow night and be sure to dress nice, alright?"
"O-Okay."
Atemu grants me one last kiss before disappearing back inside. Happiness burns in my belly as I make my way back to the base. But at the same time I dread the lies that I'm going to have to tell Kaji to keep Atemu safe.
