For the full experience listen to Never Say Never by The Fray. Also, just a random thought, I think Jaimie Alexander would make a great live action Akiza. Don't know who'd be Yusei though. Rex Goodwin could be played by Christopher Lambert. As long as he looks like how he did in the Mortal Kombat movie. Ha ha… references.

Don't Let Me Go

"Let's go again." Yusei said as he repositioned them into the starting position. "Hand on my shoulder." Akiza put her left hand on his shoulder. "Your hand on my waist." She said as he put it there. "Hand in hand." Yusei said as he took her hand and held it up. "To the left and… One two three."

It amazed Yusei that Akiza, someone who could master drifting backwards in two tries, an expert Duelist, and a great doctor, had a hard time learning how to dance. Of course… given her history it would make sense she never learned how to dance. Up until a few years ago, she didn't know how to swim. But of course, Yusei helped her learn how to that along with many other things. She just seemed to have a problem with dancing.

She was always a fast learner. Maybe something was wrong?

Could it be nerves? They are getting married in a few weeks. Maybe she was afraid of messing up in front of her parents, her friends, and of course Yusei.

"You know… I just had a thought." He said.

"What's that?" She asked.

"Most people learn how to sway first. Maybe we should try that." He said as he reached for the stereo remote and played their song.

(Cue the music)

They took the position again and just swayed left and right easily as the song played.

"Don't let me go. Don't let me go. Don't let me go."

Akiza rested her head on his chest listening to the song.

"Now you're getting it." Yusei whispered.

"Well, I have a great teacher." She said.

Yusei leaned down and kissed her forehead and released their hands to place his on her waist.

Akiza rested both hands on his chest and looked up at him. "I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." He said before leaning down to kiss her.

"Don't let me go. Don't let me go. Don't let me go."

Akiza slid one hand up to grasp the back of his head, deepening their kiss. The two of them stopped swaying and just embraced each other tightly. Akiza moaned when Yusei touched the tip of his tongue to her lips, asking permission to enter. She gladly gave it to him and slid her tongue into his mouth as he slid his into hers. Then the two of them explored each other's mouths until they couldn't hold their breath anymore.

They both gasped deeply as they pulled apart.

Akiza took his hand and led him to their room with a blush and a smile on her face.

(On a personal note, I don't like French kissing. But it makes for deep intimacy in writing. So I figured, why not?)
