Well, this is the second chapter! -kitty smile- Only one reviewer for the last one, but that's okay. That's how I started out with my other story. Although it is a bit disappointing...Never mind then! On with the next chapter!

Summary:She hated studying, but he made it a lot more fun.
Pairing: Téa/Ryou

Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't belong to me. If it did, it would be mostly about the romance and not about flashing the cards in your deck. -grumbles-

Téa was butt tired. It was nearing 11:00pm, and she was nowhere near knowing how all things science worked. She flipped through the pages of her unbearably large science textbook. "How am I supposed to know all this by tomorrow!" she shrieked. Her parents weren't home, so it didn't matter, and all her neighbors were old people who usually turned off their hearing aids at night.

Ding dong. Ding dong.

Téa blinked at mid-screech. "Who would be calling at this hour?" she wondered. She didn't mind getting up and answering it, though. It gave her an excuse to ditch studying. She stood up, stretched, and headed downstairs in her pajamas to open the door.

"Hi Téa," the British boy said cheerfully before letting himself in. "You sure yell loud when you want to."

"Ryou? What are you doing here?" The sight of the albino boy sent shivers up her back. The good kind of shivers. "And at 11:00pm no less?"

"Yugi mentioned to me you were having studying problems," he replied airily. "So I decided to come help."

"You really didn't have to..."

"I want to." His large chocolate brown eyes crinkled at the corners. "Come on, what are you having problems with?"

An idea formed in her head. "Um...the human respiratory system. I just don't get how we breathe!" She fetched her book from her room and thrust it into his hands.

Ryou laughed, opening the textbook to the human respiratory system. "The way we breathe is very important, Téa. I'm surprised you can't get this down. For instance, did you know that the air we breathe goes to cells all around the body to supply it with energy for cellular functions?"

"Yes, yes. But what happens when the cells don't get the energy they need?"

"Why, then celluar functiongets impaired, and the cells may die. The person that isn't getting oxygen into their body will get too much carbon dioxide in their blood stream, and it may cause headaches, drowsiness, and dizziness," Ryou recited.

"Sheesh...you're like a walking science textbook." Téa flopped on her couch, pouting. "I still don't get it? Can't you explain it in pure English?"

"Well that's as close to layman's terms you're going to get." Ryou sat next to her, smiling mischievously. "I can, however, give you a live demonstration."

"Oh? Please proceed then."

Ryou smirked in a Bakura-like way and pulled the girl to his chest, capturing her lips with his. Téa smiled giddily as she feltthe boy's tongue slide into her mouth, deepening the kiss. After a minute or so, Ryou pulled back, and was pleased to see Téa looking a little disoriented.

"Well? Did you learn anything?"

"Yes, I did."

"That lack of oxygen will result in dizziness?" he prompted.

"No, that you're one heck of a kisser." She giggled as Ryou descended on her once again, giving her another literally breath-taking kiss.

"Ryou?"

"Mm?"

"I still don't get it."

"Then we'll keep doing this until you do," he declared.

Needless to say, the next day Téa answered all questions about the respiratory system correctly on her test.

Leave a review? Next time will be a Téa/Yami. Or maybe Téa/Yugi...
