I was hot and bothered, in this arcade it was air conditioned, and crammed into this small space, with Tea beside me crushing me with her embrace as she poked out her tongue at the flash that I hadn't even had time to prepare for. I tried to regain myself as the second flash went off, right in my wide eyes, I screwed them shut at the sting and turned away towards Tea, just as she popped her lips to my cheek, almost touching my mouth because of my movement.

The second her wet, sparkling puckered lips touched the skin between my mouth and my cheek bone I opened my eyes in surprise and my whole body shivered in delight at the feeling and couldn't help but sigh a little, it was warm, I wonder if she felt this when I kissed her?

The flash went off.

She gave me a shy glimmer of her eyes when she pulled back, holding my shoulders to keep either of us from falling off the chair, I was a bit spun out, this small space wasn't helping now. Tea gave me a small smile and tried to stand up, 'Let's go see the photos!' And she made to squeeze her slender body around mine to get out of the curtain, despite her expert footing and balance, there simply wasn't enough room.

She let out a little gasp as she fell, splitting her legs, onto my lap, her forehead knocked mine and both of us blushed wildly. The flash went off again. And I felt flushed and humiliated as I snapped at the flash, 'You're supposed to be finished!' Tea swallowed and I looked at her, falling into those deep blue eyes.

'Um, Yami? Are you okay?' She asked in an unsure tone and I blinked, and nodded quickly, trying to stand up, nearly throwing Tea onto the ground, but I grabbed her arms to steady her as we stumbled out of the curtains. Tea fell against a game wall to steady herself, and I put my hands out to it to regain my balance. I looked at Tea, between my arms, she was red, looking embarrassed, but she surprised me when she started giggling.

I found myself smiling as her laughter run like bells in my head and she covered her mouth, 'Well this is awkward.'

I nodded in agreement, 'Very.' I pulled my arms back and offered a smile to her as I asked, 'Would you like to keep the photos?' Tea gave me a wide grin and weaved around me to snip up the strip of mini photos, she stared at them and ripped one off, hiding it in her pocket quickly before facing me, showing me them, 'Oh Yami look how cute you are!'

I found my face falling, my right eye twitched slightly. It was not a compliment for a man to be called cute. I didn't voice this, just expressed my irritation as I glanced over the photos. Tea giggled as she asked, 'Do you want any?'

I looked down at them, the awkward last one was blurry, and the kiss one was gone. Must have been the one Tea kept. I looked at the first one, and it was surprisingly the least dorky of them all, Tea looked relaxed and happy, and I just looked serious I guess. So I pointed to that one, 'I like that one.'

Tea nodded, 'Blow it up and frame it?' She asked playfully as she walked forward a few steps and I moved to her side, giving her a smirk and correcting, 'I was thinking more for my wallet.' And I winked to her, and she closed her glimmering eyes and grinned, 'It's a deal.'

True to my word I pulled out, flipped open and held out my wallet, and let her take the photo from my hand and slip it into the clear slip. It was a little small for the space, and crooked, but it was as if the very nature of the photo suited my wallet. I admired it as we walked as she asked me, 'Where to now?'

I shrugged and gave her a soft look, 'Anywhere you'd like Tea.'

She pulled a face, 'Why do I have to chose? You know I don't like throwing your money around, I have a job you know and I get my own income.' She proudly tilted her chin and looked ahead of her while I found myself frowning, I assured,

'Tea, you know I don't mind, I have plenty, and it's only fitting I share what I have with you,' I shrugged, and found I trailed off slightly as she fastened her eyes on me, and lo9oked away, that didn't normally happen, the feeling was a little stronger then the growing usual, I felt a blush creep across my cheeks as I made myself finish quietly, 'It's my pleasure to treat you Tea, you deserve it...'

Stupid emotions. When I was responded with only silence I peeked over at her, to find she was staring at me, her brown locks bumped as she walked, her baby blue t-shirt bringing out the deep, emotive blue in her eyes as she opened her mouth to say something, then closed it, blinking swiftly, her gaze shifted and she rapidly found the ground interesting. 'Okay...'

I wanted to gape at her, 'You're letting it go...?' That wasn't like her. Tea was passionate about her debates.

She shrugged passively, 'I guess I understand.' She looked around for a distraction, we'd long left the back door of the arcade, the back of it joined with the mall. We were now strolling the soft white tiles of the food court. It was kind of late, shops were closing up. Suddenly Tea pointed, her eyes sparking like blue fire,

'Look Yami! Isn't that the shop Atem and you used to take Yugi and I to get Ice Cream that closed down?' She spoke really fast, but I managed to catch everything she said and I looked towards where she pointed so very eagerly.

Indeed, there was the new, bright sign, of a duckling surrounded in baby blue polka-dots. It was the shop's icon, it seems they've come back after all, as I'd assured little Yugi when he'd cried about the shop's abrupt closing down, figures, I knew a great shop like that would flourish in this mall now, they had the best ice cream.

Tea danced on her elegant feet over to it, and I followed at a sleek saunter. Tea chose Raspberry and White chocolate as it used to be. Yugi used to pick Caramel Kiss and I always picked Coffee and Dark Chocolate while Atem always picked Bubblegum Swirl.

Wafer cones were a lot tastier then the normal ones, and I didn't care about the extra cost. So Tea and I were seated on the stools, lapping up ice cream like kittens with milk. It was as great as it used to be, Tea was indulging in her treat with a rose tinge on her cheeks of delight. I loved the look of her, I couldn't help but gaze upon her innocent, elegant beauty. She may appear plain, but Tea was passionate, and when you got past her surface that someone may overlook, or leave it at there and lust upon her figure, you had to dig deeper, and then you strike something far more precious then gold.

I could hold onto moments like this forever, the moments that seem trivial, irrelevant, sitting down, eating ice cream, laughing about nothing in particular, but it was these moments that I found I craved and anticipated and lived every day for.

Especially with Tea. With her it was insatiable and irreplaceable.

Somehow, I wish she could know it. I looked down at the indented scoop of ice cream that tempted me. Idly I thought how many coffee ice cream scoops I'd give up licking just to taste Tea's soft lips. But then, ice cream pales in comparison to that idea. Maybe I could try...?

I looked up slowly, through my eyelashes, at her silently, she wasn't paying attention, lost in the moment like I was. Would she mind? What would she think? Would she want me to kiss her? Would I be able to be gentle? Would I be able to take on the responsibility? Would I be good for her? Is there a chance, even an inkling of a chance she wants me too even a little as much as I feel I may want her?

The thoughts caused my head to spin, so I shook my head, and took a big gulp of ice cream. Suddenly the cold zipped up to my brain and eyes, I winced and grabbed the bridge of my nose and let out a soft groan. Tea looked up and leaned forward, putting her ice cream in a cardboard holder and reached out to massage my temples as she giggled, 'Brain freeze?'

I nodded quietly, my eyes fixated on her face which was close to mine as she soothed the pain with her magic fingertips. 'There you go, all better.' She smiled and her tone turned cheeky, 'Would you like me to kiss it better?'

Yes, very much. I swallowed, 'I'm fine,' I croaked. And my grip tightened on the cone, I focused on evening my grip as not to crush the cone, and Tea sat back in her chair and proceeded to finish her ice cream with a thoughtful look creasing her brow and pouting her lips.

The rest of the time was silent, I was left to ponder my thoughts of spiraling, endless questions, merging dreaming with reality and confessions with confusions. Until we both finished, and Tea nibbled on the chocolate tip of the wafer cone as I stood up and slipped out of my muggy jacket. Tea always dressed light, in thin cardigans, thigh high socks and shorts or skirts. It was rare to catch her in jeans, it wasn't who she was.

I was fine with that, I liked to dress in tighter clothes, I felt loose and self-conscious in baggy clothing, as contradicting in itself as that was. And as we made our way back to the arcade to exit through there where I'd parked the car, it was a black Aston Martin V12 Vantage Carbon. sleek as Atemu's, but this was more of a sport's car then his was. And yes, I liked 2010 model cars, sue me.

The drive was also silent Tea made no move to make conversation and I didn't either, I guess it didn't matter, we both had things on our mind. Who was I to deny Tea her thoughts? I couldn't demand constant attention from her, I was peaceful enough, it was quiet, just driving the car with her in shotgun as she looked down at her lap humbly, the wind casting her brown locks into a fiery dance.

We reached home in a reasonable timing. But something caught our eye as we parked. The door was open, and I realized, as I stepped out of the car and walked around to open the door for Tea. That we were walking in on a scene. And I had a feeling it wasn't a minor one.

Tea stopped in mid-step to watch the goings on as I absently locked up the car with a swift jab at the button attached to the key. I'd seen this girl before, she was around Atem at the gym and a few other times, she had dark, long hair whipped into a bun and blue eyes, not quite so pure and perfect as Tea's and a different shade of blue, but they still were attractive. Her skin was pale like a porcelain doll and she had her hands clenched in front of her, wincing as if Atemu was physically striking her rather then verbally.

She ducked her head, her lips pursed and her eyelids drooping miserably. She tried to speak in an act of desperation threw herself forward, trying to grab his shirt, he grabbed her wrists and hissed something under his breath venomously to her before he let her go in a vicious movement, and slammed the door in her face. Tea and I blinked in surprise. The sudden content aura Tea and I had been sharing and radiating was sucked away by an invisible vortex.

The girl turned away from the door as if to hide from the person in the house, locks of hair that had fallen out of the hairstyle flared messily around her face. Her eyes met mine and I winced a little at the look of horror and pain, and fear in her eyes. This was a bad time to look like my brother. I walked forward to ask what was wrong, to offer comfort, or kick her out depending on the situation.

Tea followed me loyally and the girl backed towards what would be her escape down the path as I asked, 'What's going on? Who are you?'

She didn't answer, I could see the hopelessness in her expression, and still fear, and heartbreak... Tea tried, 'Honey are you alright?'

She shook her head in two violent shakes, her tears splashed into the air like crystal bubbles. And she turned on her heel and bolted, she dropped something on the way, I'm not sure if it was deliberate or not, but she didn't turn around to get it back, in fact she didn't even react as it plinked to the ground, just kept running, until she was gone. I looked down at it, and my brow furrowed as I approached the object, crouched down, and picked it up by the fickle gold chain. It was Atemu's Millennium Puzzle.

I straightened and showed Tea, 'It's Atemu's.' I explained.

Tea was pouting in confusion, 'Why would she have it? And why did she leave it?' I pressed the loose pieces of the puzzle back in securely, it had nearly jarred apart from the fall and started to the front door, 'We have to ask Atem.'

I entered the house first, judging by the extent of his anger earlier, I didn't want Tea to be caught in the fire. Rather me then her. It wasn't too hard to find Atem. I heard a scene upstairs and sped up the steps two at a time to see Atem slam his bedroom door in Karin's face.

I approached her and touched her shoulder in greeting, 'Karin, what happened here?'

Karin looked a little confused herself, 'Well, Letia came over, and things were going fine, I left the room, and then I heard them fighting...' Karin shrugged, 'I think Letia did something and tried to apologize...' She looked stumped, and she turned back to the door after she was sure I had no more questions and snapped, 'OPEN THE DOOR ATEM I WAS TALKING TO YOU!'

After a colorful (By that I mean full of curses) response I brushed her to the side, murmuring, 'Karin, go keep Tea company, I need to have a little chat with my twin.' Karin knew the bond me and Atem shared way outlasted hers with Atem, he'd be much more likely to confide in me then he ever would her. So she nodded, a little reluctantly, and shuffled down the stairs to talk to Tea. I heard her conversation starter:

'Hey Tea, guess what happened with Atem and I today...!'

I knocked on the door, 'Atem, let me in.' I ordered.

'Piss off.' Was his mature reply, I answered, 'Not until I know what's going on and why you left this with a girl you evicted.' I had his puzzle in my hand. And sure enough, curiosity got the better of my twin and he opened the door, he was usually the more mature one, but he had a sharper, more dominant temper then I did, I was more docile and helpful then him. And when his ultra-violet eyes landed on the necklace dangling from my fair fingers his arms tensed and he glared at me accusingly, but I don't think it was me he was accusing,

'So after all that it was all she wanted-' He turned away from me and stalked back into his room.

Following him in I swung the door closed and put down his amulet on his dresser. I untied my jacket from around my waist to relax a little as I hung it over my shoulder lamely and leaned on the window frame he was staring do intently out of. 'She left it. If that means anything. If she was intending on taking it, she didn't.' I don't know what she did, so I was careful at my redeeming acts and gave him an analyzing look.

He had his teeth gritted together tightly, but his lips were slack, and his eyes seemed distant, like his mind was caught somewhere else, he answered, 'It doesn't matter, it was all fake, Yami she was working for her,' he turned to me, sincerity in his eyes as he grabbed my shoulders, 'She was working for Mary-Alice.'

I blinked at him, '...Why?'

He hung his head, 'The puzzle. She wanted it to sell or whatever.'

'What else did she say?'

'Lies,' he looked hurt then, 'She tried to change the subject, redeem her intentions with countless babbling, I can't take it Yami, I couldn't.' I shook my head, 'I don't want any of it, and I... I hate her.' His actions portrayed otherwise, I caught the sheen of liquid in his eyes, and said nothing of it, and the funny thing was that I understood, like Atem and I were the same person, I understood everything he felt and I could easily start feeling the same way just out of sympathy for him. He was miserable and betrayed and heartbroken by a girl he was really caught up in, possibly even loved, and he just wanted everything to be okay.

But it wasn't. 'I'm sorry brother,' I uttered to him as he looked me in the eyes and I spoke slowly and wearily, 'Is there any way she could be telling the truth? Working with Mary-Alice and all, she could have told you true information.'

'It was all nonsense,' He shook his head, 'Torture and blood and dying children...' He seemed to be in pain trying to remember the words that had come from her mouth. I let it be and said, 'Alright, relax a little, come downstairs and Tea will make you something to eat.'

'Would you do the same...?' He asked out of the blue as I'd been walking towards the door, I paused as he repeated, 'Would you have done that to Tea?'

I immediately knew my answer, 'No. I couldn't do that to her.'

'I thought I couldn't either, I stopped thinking...' Atemu strode past me, his slightly-wilder-then-mine hair blowing past my cheek as he looked over his shoulder to say to me, 'You shouldn't keep pretending you have forever Yami. Or you'll lose her.' And he left me standing in his room blankly.

It scared me, because I knew he was right.
