Chapter Three: Message in a puzzle

I DON'T OWN YGO!

Serenity Wheeler nervously bites her lip as Yugi's eyes slowly read her words, a smile forming on his lips. Dearest Yugi, Thank you for saving my eyesight. I know you probably needed that money, but you let Joey have it for me. I remember the first time I saw you. You were fighting save my brother from Marik. He had turned against you but you never gave up on him. It touched my heart even more deeply when you sacrificed yourself for him. I never told you how thankful I was for what you did. You amazed me even more after I watched you dueling on the battle ship. The moment I most clearly remember is when I lost my heart to you. It was when you first said my name. I am not good with words, and I am really to shy but I can say that that Joey will never worry about someone stealing my heart, because I lost it, to a sweet and innocent man, who saved my vision. You. I love you, Yugi Moto. Serenity. Yugi looks under her signature and smiles at the simple cherry tree she drew.

"Serenity I…" Yugi trails off as Joey walks into the kitchen.

"So did ya like it Yug?" Yugi nods and blushes.

"You could say that. Joey…" As if on cue, Tristan and Duke walk into the kitchen.

"Serenity! How wonderful to grace us with your lovely presence." Yugi looks away from Serenity as Tristan glares at Duke.

"Big brother? Can I go finish my puzzle with Yugi?" Serenity ignores Duke's huff as she waits for Joey to answer her.

"Sure. You don't mind do ya Yug?" Yugi shakes his head. 'Why would he think that?' 'Do you want me to go to my soul room?' 'You don't have to.' Yugi stands up as he hears Yammi chuckle through the mind link.

"Nope. Come on Serenity." She bows her head so her hair hides her blushing face. Joey holds up a hand to stop Duke and Tristan.

"She is trying to thank Yugi for something! You know how shy she is." Tristan nods, but he can't help but to feel jealous that Serenity is alone with Yugi.

Yugi opens the door to his room, and allows Serenity to enter first. She smiles as she notices the different Duel Monster cards scattered across the desk. Yugi follows her gaze and blushes, as he closes his door. He motions her to sit down and Serenity does just that. Yugi sits beside her and tilts her head up gently, fighting to keep down a blush.

"Thank you." Serenity looks up, unaware of the blush spreading across her cheeks, but aware of how close Yugi is to her.

"I... sh… shou… should be th… than… thanking you." Yugi drops his hand and gently takes her own.

"Did you really mean all of that?" Serenity looks down, afraid that she has made Yugi mad.

"Only if you want me to." Yugi squeezes her hand, causing Serenity to look up.

"I want you to."

Her mouth falls open, causing Yugi to chuckle before gently closing her mouth. Serenity blushes rather cutely as Yugi tucks a strand of hair behind her ears.

"You want me to?" Yugi nods with a smile, before lightly kissing Serenity on the cheek.

"Of course I do… Wait! What about Joey? And Duke and Tristan. They are my friends, and I know how much they like you…" Serenity places her fingers over his lips, and lays her head on his shoulder.

"They don't have to know."

She moves her fingers, as Yugi looks down and smiles. He gently kisses Serenity on the cheek as her breathing even out. Serenity smiles as she breaths Yugi's gentle scent, and she hides her face against his shoulder, enjoying the feel of the rough texture of his shirt against her cheek. Yugi smiles down and tilts her face toward his so their lips are a few centimeters apart. Yugi feels her soft breath against his lips as he leans in to kiss her. Serenity closes her eyes, anticipating the kiss, just as a knock sounds on the door.

Thanks for the reveiews you guys! Well the two who have anyways!
