Big thanks to everyone for being so patient, I really appreciate it. Things have been going pretty good, we just got back from a short vacation to help me with things. Just a few more doctor visits and I'll be given the green light. This is a gift to Jade546, so I hope you enjoy it! I don't own rights to YuGiOh! 5Ds but I do own this FanFiction. Hope you enjoy!

**This whole chapter is pretty steamy and flurry, so if that makes you uncomfortable or aren't a Faithshipping fan, then I suggest you skip this chapter!**

Privacy Glass

Akiza's eyes fluttered open as a mouthwatering smell tickled her nose. Her head rested upon one of the pillows while the rest of her was wrapped in an indigo blanket that had silver stitching making a familiar dragon shape, no sign of Yusei. A hand rose to comb her hair as she stretched. The sound of joints popping filled the air briefly before being drowned by crisp sizzling from the kitchen. Neatly folding the blanket and draping it over the back of the couch, she tiptoed her way towards the source of the deliciousness. Her lips lifted into an amused smile as she spotted him near the stovetop. "I can't wait to hear where you got that," she giggled, entering and plopping herself into one of the bar stools. "did Martha make that for you?"

Yusei rolled his eyes at her teasing tone before fixing them on the skillets before him. "Ha ha, very funny." He had been hoping to be finished making breakfast before she had woken up, with the apron stuffed into a hiding spot far from anyone's gaze. It was black with multiple pockets that had patchwork heads that looked oddly familiar; one with spiked orange hair, one with blonde, a pair of teals, one that looked like a mini Shadow the Hedgehog with different coloring, and one auburn. "Luna made it during her home economics class."

"Awww, that's adorable!" Akiza grinned, resting her chin on her forded hands. "So. What's cookin', good-lookin'?"

His grip on the spatula faltered at her words, silently thanking the cosmos that his back was facing her as heat flooded his face. Yusei's eyes twinkled with mischief as his lips lifted into a smile. "Well, lil lady, we got some cow tongues marinated in the grease from some hog fat. Over there, next to the whiskey waffles, is the frying chickens." Akiza couldn't take his imitation of a hillbilly and doubled over in laughter. Who could blame her?! He couldn't help but chuckle as tears began streaming down her face, her arms wrapping around her middle. The burners beeped as he flipped their power switches and placed the respective lids on the pans before turning his attention to the girl sitting on the opposite side of the bar. Sapphire met caramel and the giggles faded into silence as they merely gazed at one another. Neither moved as a timer dinged, save for Akiza's hand under the bar. It wasn't until their stomachs made their hunger known that they finally broke eye contact and Yusei turned back towards the stove. Surprise flooded his features as his eyes fell on the two plates that held neat portions of each dish he had prepared. "You're amazing." he praised, turning and placing the plates on the bar in time to see sugar add itself to two cups of coffee.

Akiza nibbled the bottom of her lip as his shocked orbs rose to her own. Had she done something wrong, shown her powers too much? It was her turn to be surprised when he took a seat and turned her towards him. She blinked as he gathered some Belgian waffle and whipped cream onto a spoon then pressed it against her lips. The movement startled her, causing the whipped cream to smear slightly as she collected the bite.

Yusei's heart hammered against his ribs as her tongue darted out and deftly swiped the white confection from her lips. "You missed a spot," he smiled, leaning forward and gently wiping the small spot from her cheek with his thumb. "There. All clean, for now." He winked as she raised an eyebrow in question.

Heat flushed her face as she quickly turned her attention to the plate in front of her, thoughts racing. Was he really suggesting that they do that?! Her eyes glanced at him and the blush in her cheeks intensified as she caught sight of him licking his silverware clean before digging into the eggs. She swallowed the lump in her throat as he reached for the whipped cream that was still on the counter. Lips trembling, she asked if she could have some as well. Heat pooled in her lower abdomen as his eyes darkened with something she couldn't identify and shivered as he held out the can for her. "T-thanks." A gasp escaped from between her lips as his fingers curled around hers that had reached for the can. Hey eyes widened as he leaned forward and her heart exploded from her chest as his lips brushed hers briefly.

He couldn't help the satisfaction that filled him as she practically swooned. Yusei's blood became fire as a challenging look overcame her features before he was captured by her soft pale lips that lead his in a spine tingling dance. Passion and need from last night flooded his being as her hands untied the apron, then slipped under his night shirt to lightly drag her nails across his lean abdomen. A low moan caught in his throat as her hands brushed the waistband of his shorts. In one swift movement, his hands slid under her thighs, lifted her, and deposited her on the counter a safe distance from the still warm stove and dishes. His lips fell to her shoulder as she succeeded in removing the apron and placed it on the hook that was next to her head before they tangled themselves in his hair.

"Y-Yusei," she gasped, her back arching as his lips slid up to her ear and nibbled gently. The simple motion sent lightning bolts down her spine and made her legs feel like jelly. "N-not there."

His lips lifted into a smile against her skin as he blew into it softly, relishing as she trembled against him. "Akiza," he whispered, moaning softly as her nails lightly scraped his scalp. Their hips brushed one another, eliciting groans from them as electricity passed between them. "Ah!" His eyes clenched as unadulterated pleasure filled him from where her own lips nibbled at his throat, his hands sliding to her waist.

Her own head fell back as his hands fell to her backside, briefly squeezing them before pulling her flush against him. "Y-Yusei," she moaned as his lips explored her collarbone. Spots flooded her vision as his hips moved sensually against hers. One hand grasped the hairs at the nape of his neck while the other slowly traced designs across his chest as she nibbled his bottom lip, earning a growl from the man before her. A breathy moan slipped from her as his hands rose and cupped her face, deepening the already passionate and burning kiss. A sharp pain in her lower neck pierced through the passionate haze, causing her to flinch and retreat from the kiss slightly.

Immediately feeling her withdrawal, he backed off slightly, allowing room and fresh oxygen to enter between them. Concern filled him as her expression became pained. "I'm sorry, Aki," he whispered, guilt and shame filling him as she raised a hand to rub the back of her neck. Had he been too rough and she had bonked her head against the cupboards? "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Akiza shook her head, holding up a hand as he continued to apologize and the pain in her neck subsiding as quickly as it had come. Her eyebrows furrowed as he began to apologize for his actions. "Yusei, that-"

"I should have considered your feelings in all this."

She blinked in surprise as he removed himself from her and began pacing the kitchen. "Would you just-"

"It was stupid of me to rush it like that, I was caught up in the moment."

Where was all this coming from? "There's nothing wrong with-"

"I know you've been through a lot and we've only just started dating, I should have never lost control like that. You could have been hurt or worse!"

Akiza couldn't believe what she was hearing! Steeling herself, she hopped down from the counter and grabbed the front of his shirt, forcing him to pause in his pacing long enough for her to drag him to the couch where she sat him down and put her hands on her hips. "Yusei Fudo, I'm surprised at you!" She held up a finger as his mouth opened. "Let me finish!" His cobalt eyes never left hers as she plopped herself into his lap, noting the hardness in her eyes. She had something on her mind and nothing in the world was going to stop her from sharing. "You of all people," she began, running her fingers through his hair to smooth out the tangles she had caused. "should know that I'm not a doll. You were the first person to treat me like a normal girl, Yusei, and I would hate to have to relapse back to the Black Witch."

Yusei's eyes bore into hers. "You won't because you are not that way anymore."

"Are you sure about that?" she asked, standing as her lips lifted into a small smirk. A wave of her hand and Black Rose Dragon appeared between her fingers. Surprise filled Yusei's orbs as translucent tentacles appeared from nowhere and wrapped themselves around his limbs and forcing him to his knees in front of her. "Now what was that you were saying?"

He had never been more conflicted in his life! On one hand he was concerned for her and the words she had said, but the other was somehow…excited. A hiss slipped between his lips as one of her hands combed through his hair roughly. Yusei would never admit it, but there were many times that he thought about that duel with her.

A low giggle escaped her at the sight of him at her feet. She never would admit it to anyone, but she had always wondered why she felt excited when she had someone at the mercy of her powers. College had opened her mind and caused her to discover new things about herself that she would have never found on her own. "Now, what should I have you do first?"

"Aki," he growled as the vines tightened slightly, sending electric shocks through his being. A shiver wracked his body as her hands tortured his being by tracing patterns with her manicured fingertips, leaving trails in his clothing and the skin underneath tingling. "Cosmos, Aki, I never thought you were the bondage type."

"We didn't either." The nearly invisible vines dissipated as horror overcame Akiza's features as she caught sight of the twins standing in the doorway. Luna, who had spoken, was blushing profusely and Leo was stroking his chin thoughtfully. "Does this mean you are finally dating?!"

Akiza hung her head as shyness filled her, hiding her face in Yusei's shirt as he stood and put an arm around her shoulders in a protective way. She wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and curl up in it. As if sensing her inner turmoil, he kissed the top of her hair and placed her head over his heart. She was surprised to find it beating quickly and strongly. Had he…enjoyed it?! She peeked up at him through her bangs and blushed heavily at the almost predatory look he gave her. "I…um…I think I'm going to go get changed." Akiza slipped from his grasp and with Luna trailing behind her, they made their way upstairs, leaving Leo and Yusei in the living room.

"So it's a real thing, huh?" Leo smiled, lightly punching the scientist in the arm. "Sly dog."

Yusei cast a glance upward as sounds of giggling were heard. "I sometimes don't even believe it myself." His expression suddenly became serious as he rounded on the student. "What have I told you about barging into my house? I know I said that you were welcome anytime, but a good guest always announces themselves upon entry."

"You sound like my mother." he shrugged. "We did call you a bunch of times but neither of you answered."

Yusei's mouth opened and closed, remembering that their cells had been left upstairs. "You didn't try the landline."

"Like a dozen." Both of their gazes fell to the floor as one of the cordless phones sped by, followed by two felines. The dial tone was coming from it. "Well, that explains it."

A little steamy, I was a blushing mess writing this! Let me know how you like!
