Cold.
The wind brushed by me in the empty, dark dueling stadium, making me shiver.
I was alone. By choice, of course. Which is odd, since I normally hate being by myself. I've expirienced the full effects of complete soilitude, and I certainly don't want to return to that state. But I needed to think. And the chaos at the twins' mansion was not the place to do it. I needed silence. Somewhere where there weren't five other people to come and interrupt me. More if anyone was visiting; which was common since Yusei had quite the network of friends from both Neo Domino and Satellite.
"I figured you'd be here." said a familiar, emotionless voice from behind me. I froze.
"How'd you know?" I asked simply. I didn't bother to face him; I already knew who it was.
"I just had a feeling you would be...and Mikage said you had headed off in this direction." said Yusei, sitting himself beside me in the stands. I didn't reply.
"So...what's on your mind?" asked Yusei after a moment.
"I think you know." I said plainly. Yusei stared at me briefly before he closed his eyes and sighed.
"The proposal?" he asked, the words leaving his tongue slowly and carefully. I nodded. Yusei paused and leaned back againts the metal seat, but said nothing. I blinked and looked out at the empty stadium.
"This is where we first met." I commented, breaking the silence.
"It is." replied Yusei, his eyes still closed.
"They've repaired the damages." I continued.
"They have." replied Yusei simply. I bit my lip and shifted on the seat uncomfortably. My attempt to change the subject was failing. If there was one thing I hated (or loved) about Yusei, it was his uncanny ability to draw out the burning questions within you, even with just a few words, or silence.
"Why me?" I finally asked, unable to resist any longer. Yusei remained motionless for a moment before he turned and looked at me carefully, his stunning, blue eyes piercing through me.
"Because I love you."
It was only four words but it was enough to send chills up my spine. I licked my lips; my mouth was feeling dry, but I couldn't help but finally spill everything that was on my mind at the moment.
"I-It's not like I don't want to marry you," I began, stammering and blushing ",I do. I-I really do. But after everything I've done to you, after everything you've gone through for me-"
"-would it all be for nothing if I didn't get to spend the rest of my life you?" he said, cutting me off. I stopped and felt my eyes widen, putting my hands up to my lips in shock.
"Y-Yusei..."
I kissed him; it was the only that I could do to express how I felt at the moment. I saw him smile after I pulled away.
"Come on," he said, lacing his fingers through my own and standing up ", let's go home. Everyone's been worried about you."
I nodded and stood up as well before we walked out. But as we did, I took one last glance at the empty stadium, smiling, and tightening my grip on Yusei's hand.
