Survivors

If Sayer taught her anything, it's that a soak in the tub always has a calming effect on people. And with her wedding coming up, that's just what she needed. She sat in the center of it with her knees pulled into her chest and her arms wrapped around them, looking at the marks on her wrists.

She should have been happy. She just came back from buying her wedding dress with Luna and Carly.

When she heard the door to her bedroom open and close she sat back and leaned against the edge of the tub so the water could cover her breasts, making her somewhat modest.

There was a knock at the door. "Akiza?"

Just the person she was waiting for. "Come in!" She answered.

Yusei entered the bathroom jacketless, much to her pleasure. "Hey," He said. "How was dress shopping?"

Akiza did her best to lie, "It was fun." But Yusei knew better.

He kicked off his boots and walked over to the tub, kneeling to look at her.

"Talk to me." He said.

Akiza sighed, "Luna saw them."

Yusei tilted his head.

"The marks on my back." She clarified as she sat up to meet Yusei, keeping her eyes down. "She walked in the dressing room asking if I needed help and saw them."

Yusei reached into the tub, taking her hand. "Did she ask where you got them?"

Akiza shook her head. "No. She just apologized and left."

"Was it the way she looked at you?" He asked.

Akiza nodded her head. "It made me feel like a freak. I know she didn't mean to but… I saw that look so many times when I went to school."

Yusei let her hand go and placed it on her back, scooting her over to him so he could hold her.

"It just… brought back some painful memories." She said. "Reminded me of when I was called an ugly witch."

Akiza closed her eyes letting tears fall as Yusei kissed her temple before letting her go to take his shirt off.

Akiza turned to face him, "What are you doing?" She asked.

Yusei didn't answer but instead took her hand from under the water and placed it on the scar on his stomach.

"I got this from one of my oldest friends… and I wear it like a badge because it shows I have experience, I'm strong, and that I'm a survivor…"

Yusei put his hand on her back, "You got these from close minded, evil brats. Do you know what they say to me?"

Akiza shook her head slowly.

Yusei smiled warmly at her, "They tell me that you went through Hell. But the rest of you shows that you came out of it on top. That not even the most brutal of people can stop you. You've helped save the world several times, you mastered drifting backwards on a Duel Runner in two days, and you save lives everyday at the hospital you work at."

Akiza smiled at him.

"You… are a survivor. And these…" Yusei lightly patted her back. "... don't make you ugly. I've been in love with you since I was 18 years old, it's been almost 5 five years since then, and I haven't seen anything ugly about you. You are physical and emotional perfection to me."

Yusei started to lean in, "And those brats from school will never change that."

On the last word Yusei sealed the deal with a kiss. A deep and loving one. Akiza brought her hands up and cupped Yusei's neck with her thumbs on his cheeks, returning the kiss.

Yusei pulled back and looked Akiza dead in the eyes.

"Feel better?" Yusei asked.

"Yeah… Thank you." Akiza answered.

Yusei smiled and started to stand but Akiza caught his arm before he got away.

"But… I think I need some proof." She said seductively.

Yusei chuckled and reached for his belt buckle with his free hand and undid it, followed by the button and zipper on his pants. Akiza let him go so he could pulled his them (and his underwear) down his legs to step out of them.

Once that was done he walked sat himself behind Akiza in the tub, making the water level rise.

"Better be careful or we'll flood the apartment." Akiza said as she leaned her back against him.

Yusei chuckled and tucked her hair behind her ear and leaned into it, "Who cares? I'll clean it up later."

Akiza gasped as Yusei lightly bit her earlobe, making her jolt. Yusei then kissed down her neck as he reached up and lightly cupped her breasts. He did this for a few minutes before gliding his tongue down her neck to her shoulder and went from lightly caressing her breasts to trailing one hand into the water, down her flat stomach, making a few small circles around her bellybutton to the area between her legs.

Akiza twitched as Yusei's hand lightly rubbed his finger on her clit and then arched her back as Yusei slowly inserted a finger into her womanhood. Akiza then moaned as he pushed his finger in more and more until he couldn't go in any further. He then started to pump his finger in and out without removing his finger completely.

Akiza was in pure, unimaginable bliss. Completely at the mercy of Yusei's magic. With his caresses on her breasts, his kisses on her neck and shoulder and his finger… She was drowning in his affection and didn't want to be saved. She wanted this to last forever.

But if good things never ended, we wouldn't appreciate them as much now, would we?

Akiza moaned loudly and threw her head back against Yusei's strong shoulder as the climax hit. She gripped Yusei's leg beside her as Yusei held his finger solidly inside her as her walls tightened around it. It lasted for what felt like (to her) minutes. Once it did finally end she went limp and fell back onto Yusei as he slid his finger out of her.

They just sat there as Akiza caught her breath. Once she caught her breath she spoke…

"Wooooow…" She said with her eyes closed.

"How do you feel now?" Yusei asked.

"... Amazing… I mean… I can't move…"

"That's fine. You rest. When you're done, how bout I make dinner?'

Akiza looked up at him. "What about your turn?"

Yusei smiled, "Don't worry about it. This was all about you."

Akiza smiled and dropped her head back against him as they enjoyed the bath together.
