Chapter 10!
A/N: This is where things definitely heats up and is part 2/3 of this "mini arc" or something. I don't know what to call it. I had most of it written, but the browser crashed before I could save, so I tried to get it as close as I could.
Warning: Sexual references, especially at the end. I'm not trying to be perverted. Please don't judge me on that.
Rated T for a reason.
The next morning, Akiza heard the heater turn on.
"Morning already," she thought.
She looked at the bag that was full of her new clothes.
"How am I going to show Yusei all my new clothes? He isn't use to seeing me look like that, let alone I haven't told him how I feel about him. He's said that we're "just friends", but I feel more than that. I have to tell him, but how?"
She sat up and thought of a plan.
"Okay, I got it," she thought, "First, since my room's close to the thermostat, I can turn the thermostat really high. Then, Yusei will have to turn it down. He might even get so warm that he takes his shirt off and show his lean body..."
Akiza stops.
"Okay, back to the plan. So, he turns the thermostat down and I'll have my door opened a bit. I'll be in my new full-body pajamas. I could also make it look like I'm crying to make it more likely he comes in. He'll come in and ask me what I'm wearing or what's wrong. Then, it could start a conversation and I can tell him how I feel."
Akiza smiled.
"That should work, because he'll either come in to ask why I'm crying or what I'm wearing. But how do I make it look like I'm crying?"
She spotted her water bottle by her bed.
"That's it! I'll dab some tissues! I'll do it tonight," she thought.
Akiza got up happily.
Meanwhile, a little bit of sunlight crept into Yusei's room and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Ugh, morning has to come now?" he thought.
He spotted some sunlight on his new clothes.
"What should I do? I need a good way to show Akiza my new clothes. After all, she seems like someone who knows fashion, but I also need to tell her how I feel about the two of us. She really seems to like me, but I haven't ever told her how I really feel."
He saw his math book.
"Maybe, I'll leave my math book in her room. Then, she'll come in my room and I could ask her some questions. Then, it could lead to me telling her my feelings for her. But when can I put my book in her room?"
He thought for a moment.
"Maybe, I'll sneak into her room this afternoon and ask for it tonight."
He smiled.
"That's a good plan. Yusei, you're so smart," he thought.
He got up and got dressed.
Later that afternoon, Yusei tried to sneak into Akiza's room.
"Okay, Akiza's in the laundry room helping Martha with the laundry, so now's a good time."
He tiptoed up to her night stand and sets down the book.
"Hold on Martha, I forgot something in my room," Akiza said.
"Oh no," Yusei thought, "What do I do?"
He looked around and Akiza walked in the room.
"Here it is," Akiza said. She picked up a t-shirt and left.
Once the coast was clear, Yusei stepped out Akiza's closet with clothes all over him.
"Jeesh, why does Akiza have big bras in here?" he said.
He pulled the shirts, bras, and other clothes from himself and left.
Later, that night Akiza went back into her room.
"Okay, time for my plan to go in motion," she said.
She noticed the clothes on the floor.
"I wonder how all these clothes got on the floor," she said.
She picked them up.
"Okay, now I got to put my new pajamas on, but first I'll turn the thermostat up."
She went just outside her room, sets the temperature to 95 degrees, and turns the heat on. She went back in and took her clothes off, except for new black bra and panties.
"Oh, that's right, I should get those tissues wet. Now, where did I set that box?"
As she looked around, Yusei sits in his room. He's starting to get uncomfortably hot.
"I guess I could wear one of those thin shirts I just got, but it's too hot for that. I'll go turn the thermostat down and then take my shirt off."
He headed outside his room and turned off the thermostat. He noticed Akiza through her door. He can only see her head, but she seemed to be doing something.
"Well, she seems happy, so whatever she's doing, I don't want to disturb it."
He then spotted his math book.
"I guess I could call for my math book, when I get back to my room," he thought, "She should be done with whatever she's doing by then."
He then headed back to his room. When he got back, he took his shirt and pants off, with only his new boxers on. He's dripping with sweat.
"Akiza," he calls, "Can you get my math book? I left it in your room."
"Okay," she calls.
She spots the book and looks at it.
"I don't hear the heat blowing anymore. I think I turned the heat on too high, because I'm dripping with sweat all over."
Without thinking of what she had on, she headed to Yusei's room.
When she got to his room, Yusei was at the side of the bed with only his face sticking out.
He asked, "Can you close the door?"
She closed it and when she turned around, she saw Yusei, dripping with sweat, in only his new boxers.
Yusei stood up and looked toward her. He saw Akiza, but quickly noticed her face looking scared and nervous.
"I...uh...uh," she stumbled. Lustful thoughts entered her head.
"He's so handsome with his sweaty, lean body," she thought.
"Akiza, all you all right," Yusei asked as he walked towards her. He could see her face turning red.
Akiza snapped out of her fantasy and tried to cover her stomach and chest with the book.
"Here," he said. He took the book out of her hands and set it next to his bed. He turned back around and noticed Akiza wasn't wearing much clothing either.
"I...I...uh," he started.
Yusei could only think about how beautiful she is and was lustful for her.
"Those long legs...and the sweat shining in the light is wonderful," he thought.
"Yusei? Yusei," Akiza called.
"Uh...what?" he asked.
"You were saying," she asked.
"I have to find a way to not stare at her so much," Yusei thought.
He leaned against the door with one arm and rested his head in his hand.
Yusei tried really hard to focus on her face.
"I needed...uh..." he tried to say. His eyes kept wondering.
"to ...to...to..." Akiza tried to finish. Her eyes were wandering too.
Finally, after a few more minutes of stuttering and wandering, they finally got out what they were trying to say.
"To tell you something," they both shouted.
"This isn't working," Yusei and Akiza thought.
Yusei leaned back. He brought out his hands and Akiza grabbed them. Akiza wondered what he was doing.
"Okay, on the count of three, we close our eyes and say what we need to say," Yusei said.
"But what if we don't say the same thing or one's longer than the other or..."
"We can always say it again," Yusei replied.
"Right, but what's important is that we get it out into the open," Akiza said.
They closed their eyes and gripped their hands tightly.
"1...2...3..."
"I love you," they both said at the same time.
They slowly opened their eyes and they were both surprised, but happy. They smiled at one another.
"I love you," Akiza repeated.
"I love you," Yusei responded.
They stood for a few minutes in silence and smiled at one another. Finally, the silence was broken.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Yusei? Akiza? It's getting late and I think you should both get to bed. Besides, I hope your not both having..."
"No Martha!" they both said.
"Good, because if I told you how to release your urges a million times, it's always..."
"Masturbate not saturate. We know."
"Good, now get to bed."
They spent a minute just smiling at each other. Akiza turned the door handle.
"Good night Akiza," Yusei said, "Sweet Dreams."
"Sweet Dreams Yusei," Akiza replied, "Good night."
Yusei, happily, hopped into bed and did as Martha had said. He thought about all the things that made Akiza beautiful.
Once Akiza got to bed, she also followed what Martha said. She was thinking about all the things that made Yusei the guy that he was.
They were both relieved to finally say those magic words, "I love you." They were so happy that the other felt the same and they were both glad to know, that they, truly, loved each other.
A/N: Sorry if the ending sucked. I didn't really know how to word it.
Anyways, please review.
