I don't own Yuugiou. Isn't that a shocker?
Oh well… This is my first Yuugiou fanfic and of course, my very first time writing these characters. Comments will be much loved. Please give me feedback so I'll be motivated to continue. I have to know if anyone's reading this at all.
Jounouchi x Anzu / Joey x Téa, of course. I really like this pair yet I barely see any fics centered around it… Think of this as me adding a cookie to the nearly-empty jar.
By the way…The title has a double meaning. ;)

A slight breeze flew by and gently shifted the hem of her skirt to the side. Anzu sighed and held it down. The door to the roof clicked open to reveal Jounouchi, who wore a sheepish expression on his face.
"Sorry I'm late," he mumbled, closing the door behind him and making his way over to her.
She sighed, but the corners of her lips twitched up. "What did you call me up here for?"
"I came to ask you something," he said slowly, walking to the edge of the roof and leaning against the balcony. "I figured, since you're a girl and all, that it's best I'd ask you."
She joined him by the balcony and smiled wryly, "Girl problems?"
He nodded but avoided her eyes. "It's Mai." The girl's blue eyes twinkled with a knowing expression.
"Well, of course it's Mai…Come on, Jou, you can't be more vague than that. What about Mai?"
Jou chuckled. "I'm not that obvious, am I?" He turned his gaze to the clouds. "I saw her yesterday, at a café…" He paused. "She had a ring."
Anzu gave him a confused look for a second until realization hit her like a rock. "…A wedding ring?"
He scrunched a tuft of his hair and finally looked down at her. "Yeah…And you know I'm serious about her, Anzu." Desperation pooled in his deep brown eyes. "I really like Mai, and I'm not about to give her up to some stupid rich sleazebag."
She was silent for a moment. "You talked to her, right?" She said, leaning her elbows against the railing.
"Yeah. She told me she was going to marry some Satou—Saitou-guy—or whatever his name is." He gathered his words, "they've been engaged for a month now, and I didn't know anything. He's rich, really rich…The owner of an oil refining company." A stutter. "I—I know I don't have what he does…Money, luxury, things I can't offer Mai…But I do care about her. I'm pretty sure she knows that too."
She met his look surely, "If you want her to be with you, then you'll have to convince her that you're better than the other man."
Jou grinned, albeit nervously. "Um…And that's where you come into place."
Another breeze flew by. Silence.
"Er…Excuse me?"
"I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend, Anzu. That way I can show Mai that I can be as good a boyfriend as any other guy with stuffed pockets. Won't you help me out?"
She pushed herself off the railing and turned to gape at him, her hair aflutter with the morning's wind.
