Title: Kiss Me Quickly.
Summary: Tea/ Anzu and Pharaoh/ Yami Yugi make out. Events based loosely on episode 53, 'Dance Battle of Flame' where Yugi Muto gets concerned about his Other Self and sets the Other up for a date with Tea.
Sorry about the dialogue. I cut off a lot of bits. I don't have a copy of the episode, so it's just based on memory, and we all know how fallible Memory is, eh? Besides, I really don't want to have entire chunks of pep- talk spelt out if they don't contribute to the story. So basically the show- conversation gets shuffled a bit, and condensed a lot to keep it as short and sweet as possible. Whatever they say is just there to move the plot along.

Kiss Me Quickly.
Tea's hand tightened around the white Starbucks cup holding her iced moccachino uneasily and let her eyes fall to hide the red flush that was spreading across her cheeks. Yami was looking at her. It was unnerving. He was looking at her the way he'd never looked at her before. And suddenly, sitting there in the bright cheery café, she felt exposed. Wrapping her soft pink jacket closer around her shoulders, she took a deep breath in an attempt to shrug off that feeling of nakedness and looked up across the table.
To her relief, Yami was staring absentmindedly out the window, his mind clearly somewhere else. But her relief quickly melted into surprise. "Who was he?" she felt herself asking. "Yugi talked about this Other Self as if he were a totally different person. Could this be... Yugi's Other Self?"
It had to be. Such a mournful look of sad emptiness could not possibly find itself on the face of one so young and untainted by the world. So this was the Other Yugi? Yugi was worried about him then, and she could see why. This Yugi looked so... drawn... as if every day he was impaled upon the pain of his memories.
"Tea," he whispered, "I don't know what the future holds for me. But I'm okay with that. It doesn't bother me that I know nothing of my past. Tea, I don't even know my name."
"Yugi--" she whispered, taking his hand, but Yami drew back.
"Yugi is... the other person you know. I'm not him," he replied. "We're different. Different people, even if we do share the same skin. Call me Yami. It's easier that way."
"Yami," she corrected herself, trying the name on for size. Suddenly she stood up. "Come on, Yami," she said. "Lets have fun, okay," she continued, forcing some semblance of cheerfulness into her voice. She didn't know how much longer she could bear to see him so dejected. "Come on, Yami! Let's go out!"
"Where to?" Yami asked, surprised.
"Anywhere, it doesn't matter. Let's just have a good time," she said, smiling warmly.
And at that, Yami had looked up at her, his wide eyes flickering in confusion for what seemed like eternity before his look hardened into the familiar grimness he always wore right as the thrill of the battle overtook him. His lips curling in anticipation, he had fixed his eyes upon hers and locked her in his gaze. Tea felt the recognizable flush spread once more across her cheeks.
It took a considerable effort to tear her eyes away, and when she finally did, she was shocked to find her breathing erratic. She raised a hand to her forehead faintly. Her hand came away drenched in sweat.
