Coupling—Yugi x Anzu (My fave couple )
HOT SUMMER DAYS
By: NightmareDreams
Chapter 2:
Mid Summers Night Confession
An hour later, Yugi stood outside facing Anzu's door. The night was very much like that of a week ago; moon high in the black, night sky, a gentle breeze caressing the land. Yugi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm himself.
"You can do this," Yami said encouragingly.
Yugi nodded and then knocked on the door softly. The wait was excruciating... He was literally shaking, as he waited anxiously.
Finally the door swung open. Yugi looked up and was surprised to see not Anzu standing there, no; it was her mom. Other then the fact that she was a little taller then her daughter, she and Anzu look pretty alike. She had shoulder length brunette hair, which she currently had pulled back into a pony tail. Her eyes were a little lighter of a blue, but they had that same sparkle that Yugi loved about Anzu's eyes.
"H-... Hello, Mrs. Masaki," Yugi stuttered. "I-... is Anzu... here?" he half muttered.
"Well hello, Yugi," Anzu's mom said sweetly. "Yes, Anzu is here, but I don't know if she's up for any visitors... She hasn't been feeling well," she continued, glancing over her shoulder towards Anzu's room.
"Would you... mind asking?" Yugi asked slowly.
Anzu's mother looked at Yugi for a moment as she considered it. "Alright. I'll ask her." She turned around and disappeared, leaving Yugi standing in the open doorway. A few moments later, she returned, "She said yes- you can go on back," Mrs. Masaki said with a smile.
Yugi nodded respectfully and the quickly walked inside and up the stairs to Anzu's room. Carefully, and quietly, he opened the door, gingerly stepping inside and walking over towards Anzu.
There she lay, in her bed. Her face was a little pale, with the exception of her nose, which was red from blowing it. She only half opened her eyes as she heard him enter. It was amazing to Yugi how even when she felt sick she still looked so beautiful.
As he looked at her, the one question seemed much less important.
"Hi, Anzu," Yugi said softly, as he pulled up a chair next to her.
"Yugi... Hi... I-"she began, but Yugi silenced her softly.
"Shhh... Rest now," Yugi said. He reached down and touched her hand lightly. "Do you need anything?" he asked carefully, looking concernedly down at her.
Anzu looked back up at him. 'Did I here him right?' she thought to herself. She couldn't believe he was doing this... She thought he'd be mad, not asking if he could help...
Yugi glanced at her side table and noticed the empty glass. "Sit tight," he said, carefully grabbing the glass, "I'll be right back."
He quietly walked out of her room to the kitchen. As he filled up the glass, he noticed Anzu's mother, pulling her purse onto her shoulder. She looked over at him and grinned slightly. He nodded and gave a weak smile back.
A few minutes later, Yugi walked back into Anzu's room. He set a bucket beside her bed, the glass of water on her end table and a fresh, cool washcloth on her head. As he did, he gently pulled some of her hair away from her face.
Anzu opened her eyes again and turned slightly to look at Yugi, who was taking his seat again.
"Why?" she asked softly.
Ironic, wasn't it? The one question Yugi had been tormented by, the question he had come over to get answered, wasn't asked by him.
He looked down at her lovingly. "Because..." he started slowly. "I care for you..." Anzu looked at him, seeing how much it was true. "I've never been able to tell you... You know me... But, I like you... A lot... When I saw you laying her, sick, nothing else really mattered... At least, not until you feel better..."
The two friends looked at each other. Anzu slowly saw the depth of everything that had happened... Why it had caused Yugi not to talk to anyone for a week... Why he looked at her with those broken eyes on that day... She had figured that he had a crush on her, but, no... He cared much more then that... Much more then she ever knew...
At that moment, Anzu's mom walked into the room.
"I hate to do this to you, kiddo..." she started, "But I have to get to work... Are you sure you'll be okay?"
Anzu nodded lightly and said, "I'll be fine mom."
"And I won't be too much longer," Yugi said.
Anzu's mom said goodbye quietly, and left the room. It was silent for a little bit as the two friends sat together.
"It hurt... Didn't it..." Anzu said after a while. Yugi nodded, and Anzu saw a trace of the hurt in his eyes. "I'm sorry... I never would want to do something like that to you, my oldest friend. You've always been there for me... Every time I've needed you, you're there. And I took it for granted... I was so caught up in my crush, I didn't think of what it was like for you... Please... Yugi... Forgive me..."
It felt as if the knife had been taken out of Yugi's heart. Never had a relief so powerful washed over him. The pain, the anger, the sadness... It all fell away, like chains releasing their grip from him.
Yugi leaned down to Anzu and hugged her tightly.
"I forgive you..."
Yugi had ended up staying the whole night, taking care of Anzu. It had been a long night- the flu had not been nice to Anzu. Several times Yugi had to clean out that bucket... But none of that mattered in the least. What mattered was that all the pain Yugi had felt was gone.
It was a night, a few days later, (after Anzu was totally better), that Yugi came over again. They had spent the whole day at her house, having fun and laughing, the way it used to be. For some reason, Yugi wasn't as nervous around her. It wasn't because he didn't like her anymore... No... Far from it. But Anzu knew how he felt, and, for some reason, that helped.
It was quite warm, well into that evening, and the two had gone swimming in Anzu's pool. "Much less crowded than some beach" Anzu had said jokingly.
After swimming hard, Yugi and Anzu laid out on the pool-chairs, basking in the warm evening air. Not long after, Yugi had fallen asleep. Anzu got up and walked back into the house, and into the kitchen. There she saw her mother, getting ready for work again.
"Leaving, mom?" Anzu asked.
Mrs. Masaki continued to gather her things together. "Yes. Don't stay up too late now, and don't have Yugi over too late," she instructed.
"Alright," Anzu responded, as she put some ice in a glass.
"Love you kid- see you tomorrow."
"Bye mom," Anzu said waving.
As she left, Anzu stood in the kitchen, thinking quietly.
She was alone with Yugi...
In her minds eye, she could still see Yugi lying out by her pool. No, he wasn't as strong as Yami, or a lot of things Yami was. But that was just it; he wasn't Yami. What he was, was the best friend she had ever had, or could have hoped for. He was always there for her. Even when he was hurting, he always put his own feelings aside. She knew how much he cared for her... But she had never said or done anything to indicate if she did in return.
"Well..." she thought to herself. "It's about time that changed..."
She grabbed the two drinks she had made and walked out into the backyard.
The air outside was still warm and quite still. Anzu walked over to the chair where Yugi was lying, and set the two drinks on the table beside him. She smiled as she watched him rest peacefully. He had a small grin on his face, as if he didn't have a care in the world. She gently knelt down next to him and took his face in her hands. Slowly, she lowered her lips to his, capturing them in a soft kiss- his lips felt soft against hers. When she pulled away, Yugi slowly opened his eyes.
"A-Anzu?" he whispered questioningly.
Carefully, Anzu stood up, only to sit back on Yugi, a leg on either side of him, sitting at his stomach, her hands resting softly at his sides. Yugi looked at Anzu; a huge blush on his face, causing her to grin at him.
"A few days ago..." she began, "You told me how much you liked me... How much you cared for me... And, despite how I had hurt you, you went further... and showed me how much you cared. But... I never got the chance that day... to tell you... I like you too..."
A look of surprise sprung onto Yugi's blushing face. "You... You do?" he said incredulously.
Anzu's hands trailed over his chest as she looked back into Yugi's eyes. Suddenly, her fingers bumped into the Millennium Puzzle hanging from his neck, causing both her and Yugi to look at it.
"Are you sure... you like... me...? Yugi began, glancing back up at her.
She trailed her finger gently along the corner of the golden pyramid-shaped puzzle. "Yes," she said, as she slowly lifted it up and off from around Yugi's neck.
Keeping eye contact, Anzu slowly placed her hands on the ties to her bathing suit. With one gently tug she undid them, and carefully laid it on the ground next to her. She smiled as she saw Yugi's expression- his eyes wide, his face blushing quite hard. She didn't stop; and continued to remove the bottoms as well.
She sat there, revealing her completely nude self to Yugi, a small blush covering her own body. Slowly, she leaned down and again embraced his face in her hands, kissing him, first lightly, but soon filled with deep passion.
Yugi wasn't sure how to react... His brain just... stopped... When he felt her tongue enter his mouth, he slowly snapped out of his trance and, clumsily, his hands found a place on the back of her neck and on her side, gently pulling her even closer. Yugi shivered nervously, feeling her breasts pressing against his naked chest. As he sat there, he prayed he wasn't dreaming and wished it wouldn't stop.
As Anzu pulled away, she felt Yugi shaking slightly, and, she smiled as she realized why. "It's ok Yugi; I want this to happen... I want to show you how much I care for you, just like you showed me how much you cared for me..." she said reassuringly.
"Anzu..." Yugi said, taking a shaky breath. "D... Don't do this to prove anything... If we do this... I-... I want it to mean something... for both of us..."
Anzu looked lovingly at Yugi. Any other guy wouldn't have cared what the reason was... "I'm not doing this to prove anything..." she began. "I'm doing this... b-... because... I love you... Yugi..."
"I... I love you too... Anzu..."
The two looked at each other, their eyes telling each other much more then words ever could. Suddenly, a grin spread onto Anzu's.
"Don't be nervous... I'll have you shaking much harder before I'm done with you..." she said, smiling even wider as she saw his face turn dark red.

The two lay completely drained on the pool-side chair. Yugi laid on his back, gazing up at the sky, Anzu resting her head on his chest, her arm draped over him. The Millennium Puzzle lay on the ground, shining in the moonlight, ignored by the two.
"I guess you really did like me..." Yugi thought to himself, reminiscing to that night a week ago. He looked at her lovingly, a feeling of complete contentment washing over him. "I love you..." he said aloud to her.
She pushed herself up onto her arm and looked at him.
"-and... I'm glad.. that I know you feel the same for me... I was afraid-" Yugi said, but Anzu silenced him by placing a finger to his lips, gently.
"You don't have to say anymore. I'm sorry that it came to this for me to realize it... I love you, Yugi," she finished.
A cold breeze glided through the air, chilling their still-nude bodies. Anzu wrapped her arms around Yugi and pulled him close- then laying her head on his. Yugi closed his eyes, feeling Anzu's heartbeat through her chest. He put his arm on her and snuggled close, every care seeming to go with the draft of cool air.
