I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 9

It's snowing!

Tea woke up early that morning. Somehow it was cooler and she shivered.

"I hate cold." Tea thought to herself and found some clothes that would warm her. As she finished dressing she heard door bell ringing.

"Coming!" She shouted but the door bell was still ringing. "Oh God. Coming! I'm coming!" She shouted once more and opened the door. To her surprise there was standing Pegasus. "Max, what are you doing here? Where's fire?" Pegasus said nothing just took her lips into a loving kiss. As they kissed a mother and her daughter were passing by. Mother suddenly covered little girl eyes.

"Mom, why you did that?" The girl asked.

"You don't need to see this dear."

"But I want to!" Hearing this Tea stepped backwards letting Pegasus in and closed the door. But their kiss was never broken.

"What was that for?" Tea asked as they both stood there catching their breath. Pegasus said nothing, just smirked. "Answer me!" Tea demanded.

"It's snowing!" Pegasus grinned. Tea was puzzled.

"What?" She managed to say. Pegasus took her hand and led her to the window.

"See, it's snowing today. So I came here to ask you to a date. We could celebrate the first snow!" Pegasus said still grinning. Tea just looked from window to a man standing beside her. It really was snowing. Little by little town was covered with small snowflakes and soon there will be only white. Tea smiled.

"Yes, why don't celebrate it." She said still looking in the distance. Pegasus, seeing the look on his beloved once face, smiled. She looked so calm.

"Do you even like me Tea?" He asked her in his mind. That evening, that special evening when they were celebrating a victory he kissed her and she replied. He asked himself thousand questions and then he tested her. But soon he lost himself in a kiss. He was doubtful then, but the kiss… It felt so right to kiss her. Was that a sign? Was that his answer? The answer he was looking for? Did that meant 'yes'? He had to ask her. And right now!

"Tea…"

"Yes?" She faced him. Pegasus looked into her deep oceanic eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but words never came out.

Tea watched Pegasus trying to say something. She tried to make out the words but couldn't. He just opened his mouth and stood there.

"Tea, where should we celebrate it?" He found himself saying.

"Donno. But I really know one thing. When we should do it…" Pegasus smirked. "…After the classes!" Tea said and Pegasus smile fell.

"Oh yeah, classes. I totally forgot." Pegasus said trying to hide his disappointment. "Change and I'll take us there." Tea nodded and went to change.

"What should I wear today? It's cold out there." Tea looked through her clothes and found something that would keep her warm. That was black jeans and a sweater her mother packed for her. "Mom, you saved me!" Tea smiled. But then added; "For once."

"I am ready. Sorry to keep you waiting." Pegasus shook his head.

"Not at all. Now shall we go?" He asked.

"What about breakfast?" Tea suddenly asked.

"What about them?" Pegasus asked surprised.

"Have you had them yet?"

"Well… No, I was so excited with the first snow I forgot about the breakfast." Pegasus looked at Tea and she looked back at him.

"I can make…"

"No you won't! Since it's only 7am I am taking you to that same café for breakfast, lets that be the symbolic start to our celebration." Pegasus took her hand and almost dragged her out of her room not waiting for Tea's replay. Tea said nothing, she just let him lead her, but before that she took her books and locked the door.

"This is going to be the memorable day in entire my life!" Tea thought to herself. "Donno this will be bad or good, but I am sure of one thing. I won't forget this day entire my life."

The ride to the café was quiet. Tea was looking out the window admiring the view and Pegasus was thinking about the evening. He was picking places where they should go. And yet the best place for him was his home. But not this time. He'll think of something.

In no time they were at the café. Staff already knew them. They saw them as a couple. It was because every time they came here they were together. Neither Pegasus nor Tea came here to eat alone. This small, middle age like, café was theirs.

It started when Pegasus accidentally spilled ice coffee on Tea's blouse. When they became friends they always came here. Sometimes just for a quiet lunch sometimes for romantic dinner and sometimes for quick breakfast. It was no surprise that this café, called Memories, worked at 7am. It started job at 5am and was closed at 10pm. Staff worked hard, but they profit was unbelievable.

Once Tea asked them why they work so hard and do not open big restaurant, the owner said:

"I want people feel comfortable at my little café. Big restaurants are for famous people, my café is for people who want to escape their daily life or bring it here. I want people feel comfortable and don't think about the money they'll spend here." The man then smiled and added "My wife always wanted this kind of café."

Every time Tea entered this place she remembered the man's words. Staff always looked kind and she felt like home. That was strange, but then again it was alright.

And now Tea and Pegasus sat at the table waiting for someone to take their orders. A woman came and brought them their usual meal.

"Looks like, we are coming here too often." Pegasus smiled. Waitress blushed.

"You wanted something else?" She asked not sure what to do. Pegasus laughed.

"No. That was exactly what we wanted. Isn't that right Max?" Tea said looking at Pegasus.

"Yes, dear." Pegasus looked at Tea then at waitress "That was exactly what we wanted, thank you." Waitress nodded and was about to leave when Pegasus stopped her. "And could you get us ice cream for desert?" Waitress nodded and left.

"Two ice cream." She said to a man in a kitchen.

"So they aren't in a hurry?" The man smiled.

"No." Woman sighted.

"What's with ya?"

"Nothing, just these two reminds me of my ex and me, several years ago. And you know what; he just called her 'dear'!" The man laughed.

"Shouldn't he? They are the couple! Here take these to them." She did as was told to. Tea and Pegasus thanked her.

"We have two hours what should we do?" Pegasus smirked. As if reading his thoughts Tea answered:

"We have only an hour and a half, so I suggest enjoying our meal. Donno why, but this place calms me down." Pegasus said nothing. He just smiled to her. And she knew he agreed. But they didn't know that someone was watching them.

"You know, I think these two will get married one day and live happily ever after." Woman smiled.

"In any other case I would say you are crazy, but today… Well actually these two, I think they will make it. Just look at them; sitting there peacefully, eating…"

"Yes, they always do this when they are not in a hurry." Woman smiled.

"And everything started when the boy spilled ice coffee on her blouse." Man sighed

"That was accident and you know it!" woman demanded.

"I know I know! Don't shout! Damn you are noisy."

"What did you say? I am noisy! Old fool!"

"Tea, I think we should hurry, it's almost nine."

"Ok." Was all Tea said. She was lost in her thoughts again. Pegasus felt rejected.

"Is something wrong?" Pegasus wondered.

"No, everything's fine. I was just thinking." Pegasus opened door for Tea and she sat. "Thank you. I was thinking… You see soon is holiday, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about me. I am going to be just fine. I think I'll be making those cards. I'm a busy man Tea, if it's not for college I would be working all day." Pegasus smiled. Tea nodded. But Pegasus wished more of her attention. If she was paying the attention she should, Tea would saw him lying… But now, she just nodded as if he meant nothing to her.

At last they got to the college. For Tea it was fast, for Pegasus it was forever. All the time he wondered what was she thinking. These thoughts were killing him and he wanted answers. But he couldn't ask her now. Not now. He will ask her this evening.

Classes flew by. And Pegasus took Tea, as usual.

"The day went fast. Don't you think so?" Tea asked Pegasus cheerfully.

"No, I don't think so." Pegasus growled.

"Huh? Why? Did something happen?" Silence. "Max?" Silence. "If you don't want to answer just say you don't. Did I do something, I shouldn't?"

"No."

"Well then…"

"You didn't something you should!" Pegasus barked. Tea sat there not knowing what to do. Suddenly the car stopped.

"Why did you stop the car?" Tea was really worried. First Pegasus never acted like that and second it wasn't neither his nor her home yet.

"Entire time I was with you, you were wondering somewhere! You didn't answer my questions, cause you're always thinking. I want to know what the hell are you thinking! What's going on Tea!"

"Well… I…" Tea wanted but couldn't find words to explain herself. She was thinking about home, about Malik. If she said the truth Pegasus would be very disappointed. She knew it. She could see it in his eyes. "I…" She tried once more, but couldn't explain. So she did one thing she wasn't sure of. She said: "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry." Pegasus mind repeated the words. He turned on the engine and the car moved. Though Pegasus was driving his mind was covered with more questions. "She said sorry, but never explained herself. This must be that other man! No, Tea belongs to me! He body, her mind and her spirit! Tonight you are MINE Tea!" Pegasus thought.

As they both were lost in their thoughts they didn't notice a black limo passing by.

A/N: Ok. I think I'll end here. I know I made you wait for so long, but I really didn't want to write it. It wasn't writers block. I just felt a bit not myself. But If I feel like it, I'll update sooner this time. And I am talking about this week :D Oh! And as I am evil as I am XD I'll let you know what will happen next :3

Next time

Pegasus takes Tea home. They celebrate. Weeks pass by and Tea goes home. But SETO(!) comes into the picture. He wants his REVENGE (!) Oh no! What will happen! (Hmmm long chapter is waiting ahead.)
