"Anzu, I would be honoured if you..."
That didn't sound right. Yuugi was trying to pluck up the courage to ask his friend out on a date, not to propose to her.
"So, Anzu, are you doing anything this Friday? Because I thought we could see a film or have dinner or something."
Hmm... that was better.
Of course the giant teddy bear he was practising talking to would have smiled that insane grin no matter what Yuugi had said, but it was slightly reassuring seeing a positive reaction gazing back at him instead of squeals of indignant rejection.
"Anzu, we've been friends for a long time. Did you ever feel that there could be something more between us?"
He was back in the realm of 'absolutely not'.
Yuugi wondered what other guys would do in this situation: surely asking out your best friend of over ten years was different from asking out a girl you knew hardly anything about. Going to Jounouchi and Honda for advice had probably been a mistake, since both would tell Shizuka anything she wanted and she and Anzu had formed a pretty close friendship over the past few months.
But then again, having Anzu prepared could turn out less embarrassing than him seemingly randomly suggesting that they go out. This way, he could plan his question and she could plan her answer. They were like two actors who had learned their lines, but hadn't rehearsed together before the opening night.
Anzu would at least appreciate the analogy.
"Yuugi, what are you doing up there? You said you'd only be a minute and that was ages ago. It's nearly eleven!"
"Sorry Grandpa, I was... rehearsing a play."
"What?!"
"Never mind."
