Union through Separation
Chapter 15
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!… and maybe that's for the best.
For so long, Tea had dreamt of a moment just like this one: to be in a passionate embrace with Yami. And now it was actually happening. They say that sometimes having a thing is not so great as wanting, but that was certainly not the case here. The kisses, the caresses, were far greater than Tea could have imagined.
"Mm, Yami…"
As she felt Yami slowly and gently sliding off the right shoulder strap of her dress, Tea began to realise the direction this was taking. Part of her was frightened by this thought. After all, it was only their first date (well, second date if you count that whole set up thing that Yugi did). Surely they were moving too fast. And yet there was another part that wasn't afraid and in fact welcomed it with growing anticipation.
"Yami…"
It was then that Yami, with a certain degree of reluctance, broke the kiss and backed away a bit. "No… This isn't right," he said.
Tea looked at him confused. "What is it?"
"It's too soon for this. We're only just starting to become comfortable expressing our feelings for each other, but this is perhaps too comfortable."
"Yeah, you're right…" The more rational part of Tea's brain won out and now she was relieved that they managed to stop.
"Forgive me, Tea. I should have restrained myself more."
Tea sat up, sliding her shoulder strap back on. "It's not your fault, Yami. I wasn't exactly discouraging you."
"That's still no excuse." The Pharaoh reached over, brushing a few strands of hair out of Tea's face. "You're very special to me. The last thing I want is to… violate your honour in a moment of uncontrolled lust."
"Oh, Yami." Tea wrapped her arms around his shoulders again. "You're very special to me too. There is no one else on this planet that I would rather have 'violate my honour' than you."
Yami looked surprised. "Are you serious?"
Tea nodded. "But you're right of course. This isn't the time for that." She looked around. "And it definitely isn't the place. No way am I losing my virginity in an old abandoned theatre."
"I thought you said this was your special place?"
"Yeah, for contemplation, not consummation!"
"Sorry, it's just that you didn't like it too much when I called this place dilapidated."
"I say a lot of crazy things when I'm on a date."
"Really? I was under the impression that you've never dated before."
"That's not the point."
"What is the point?"
"Well… I'm not sure. Jeez this is crazy. I feel like we're in a bad story where the author is trying to fill up space with a lot of useless dialogue." (A.N. Hey! Watch it Tea, or I'll write you into a lesbian of the worst sort!)
"So what were we talking about again?"
"We were talking about our relationship."
"Of course. I think, Tea, that we need to slow down a little before we even begin to think about…"
"I agree. But I hope we're not going to slow down too much."
Yami smiled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Tea nuzzled her head under Yami's neck and happily sighed. It may not have been as passionate as before, but it still felt good. It felt romantic.
It felt perfect.
"Hello there. I hope I'm not interrupting anything. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I hope!"
Startled by the voice, Yami and Tea turned around, only to find that there special little moment had been disturbed by the unexpected and unwelcome arrival of a most unpleasant individual.
"Bakura!" Yami exclaimed.
"You were expecting maybe Marik Ishtar?"
"What do you want?" Yami demanded.
"Oh a little song, a little dance, a sexy woman to take off my pants." He gave a sly glance at Tea. "But for the moment, Pharaoh, I'll settle for taking away your body and all of its powers."
"Oh yeah?" Tea said. "You and what army?"
"Bakura grinned an evil grin. "Funny you should ask…"
TO BE CONTINUED
Ah, my evil cliffhangers and me! In response to some of your reviews, this chapter, as you can clearly see, is not a lemon. However, I have been contemplating the idea of doing a lemon chapter at the end. Since doesn't seem to approve of lemons anymore, it would probably have to be a bonus chapter that you would e-mail me for and I would send to you.
Anyhoo, we're not quite at that stage yet, and I hope that there's enough stuff going on to keep all of you entertained. R&R!
