I hope everyone liked the first chapter. Thank you to all of those who reviewed it. As I said, this will be the last chapter. I know that it is short, but if you want it to continue, you have to tell me in your review. Otherwise, I will just leave it as a two-shot.

Chapter 2

He never gave me an answer. Yugi just stared at me for the longest time. Finally, he stood up to leave. No, he can't go. I have to know.

"Where are you going?" I asked him quietly. I looked helplessly in to his eyes. "I can't help how I feel, Yugi. Please don't go. I have to know if you feel the same way."

"I don't know, Anzu. This is really unexpected. I want to tell you how I picture us in the future, but I really have no idea. I thought you made it clear a long time ago how you felt," he informed me, his eyes not meeting mine. I didn't know what to do. He finally turned and left the building. I just sat there, not really knowing whether I should follow him or go back to the hotel.

A couple of days later, it was Christmas. Yugi and I had not talked since that day at the restaurant. I was not sure if I should go, but everyone was expecting me. I grabbed my gifts to everyone and left the hotel.

We were meeting at Yugi's house, which meant he would probably be the one greeting everyone at the door. I wonder if the others have already heard about me liking Yugi. I hope not, because that would be extremely awkward. Not to mention, Rebecca is there, and I don't know if she still likes Yugi. I really hope not.

I decided to walk there, mainly because I needed to think. If I took a cab, I would be there in only a few minutes, giving me no opportunity to decide how I am going to face Yugi.

The air was cold, so cold my breath looked like a cloud. It was quiet, because everyone was away visiting relatives. The sidewalk was very slippery. In the first few minutes, I had skid on it about ten times, making me almost fall down every time. My head hurt from all of my thinking. What will happen to our friendship now? Is he mad at me? Does he love me as only a friend?

Before long, I had arrived at my stop. It looked like everyone else had arrived. Their cars lined the sides of the road. I walked up to the front door and held my breath. Ding-dong. I almost felt like turning around. Finally, someone opened the door.

"Hey, Anzu, long time no see," Honda told me, grabbing me into a hug. Maybe Yugi did not want to have to answer the door and face me alone.

"It's great to see you, too, Honda," I said when he let me go. We both smiled at each other, and he took me inside. Stockings hung over a fireplace to add decoration. The fire was already going strong, and was being used to warm cold hands up. Candy canes and hot chocolate were in either someone's hands or sitting on a table in the corner. The main attraction, though, was a beautiful Christmas tree. Stars, angels, other ornaments, garland, and bright lights were hanging on it. It easily took your breath away. I turned my attention towards everyone else.

I went around talking to all of them. Many hugs were exchanged and I could hardly believe I lived so far away from all of these wonderful people. They were all glad to see me. Soon, though, I only had one more person to talk to. Yugi.

I went over to the Christmas tree first and set down my gifts. Then I decided to go and get it over with.

"Hey, Yugi," I said, trying to hide my emotions. He looked at me for a minute. Then he smiled and took my hands in his.

"Anzu, I always have cared about you. The other day was a surprise, but in a good way. You caught me off guard, and I didn't know how to respond. I know now, though. It is a simple as this, I have always loved you and I always will," he told me softly. My heart skipped a few beats. He loves me, even though it has taken me this long to figure out that I love him, too.

I pulled him towards me. I didn't have to respond, though. At that moment, he kissed me gently on the lips. I'm not sure, but I think I heard everyone clap in the background. I wasn't paying too much attention, but it was as though they knew all along that we were perfect for each other. I know that's how I feel.


I know, not the best ending, but I liked it. I hoped you guys liked it, too. Please review and remember to say whether or not you want this story to continue. Thanks.
