Their first real kiss, mouth to mouth rather than a simple peck on the cheek, had come one rainy afternoon, when the whole friendship group were lounging around in Honda's living room.

Unlike a normal relationship, where this defining moment would come as the result of a romantic evening, or possibly, the consumption of too much alcohol, theirs had come about by way of a perverted comment. Anzu thought that was strangely fitting.

"Have you guys noticed," Mai said provocatively, "that Yuugi and Anzu sit further apart now than when they weren't dating?"

That was something Anzu had realised too. She wasn't sure how she felt about it, to be honest. Their relationship was special, something between just her and Yuugi, she didn't need to broadcast it. On the other hand of course, it would be nice to display their affection publicly, it was one of the perks of having a boyfriend that she had always missed out on.

"Yeah it's ok. We may all be sad, lonely losers but you two don't have to be. Put your arm around her or something Yuugi," Jounouchi advised.

Embarrassed, Yuugi moved closer to her. She gave his hand a quick squeeze to reassure him that it was all right.

"That's more like it! Now just turn your head to the left a bit Anzu and then Yuug'll have room to lean over and kiss you."

"Just because you're a 'sad, lonely loser' doesn't mean we'll give you a free show, pervert," Anzu snapped.

"Children!" Honda interrupted, "Play nice, or I'll make you sit through my entire collection of sci-fi videos."

Exaggerated calm filled the room.

"It's nearly two o'clock, so is it all right if I put the film on?" he asked.

"Sure," Mai drawled.

"Go for it."

"You know?" Yuugi murmured, as Honda was fast-forwarding through the previews to get to where the movie started, "Jounouchi was right. Turn your head a bit and I will have room to lean over and kiss you."

"You sure?" Anzu couldn't be certain, but she thought that Jounouchi at least was trying to eavesdrop.

"Perfectly," he replied.

Their lips met. It was warm and passionate and breathtaking and not exactly what she had expected, but both more and less at the same time.

The others said nothing, stunned. This was all about Yuugi and Anzu.
