Chapter 11 - Playing it Safe
For the next two week after their first date everything started to change for Yusei and Akiza. They would meet up every day at domino park and from there walk together to a cafe to enjoy each other's company while having lunch. Yusei would help Akiza with her shopping, even though he is not a fan of shopping but he did it just to stay with her longer. Akiza knew Yusei did not like going shopping just like she didn't, but since she was alone at her house more or less she decided she had to start getting used to it. On a weekend they would both go to Martha's house for evening dinner to catch up on events of the week. Martha would notice how close Yusei and Akiza got, so she would use some sort of comment to make them blush.
This morning though Yusei slept in longer than normal since he had been dreaming and fantasizing about Akiza, ever since the events at domino bridge he could not get Akiza out of his head. "I wish I could spend all day with her, I feel incomplete without her nearby. I wonder if it the same feeling that drug users get from what they take. When with her I want to feel her lips against mine, I want to hold her in my arms, I want to have ..." Yusei stopped himself he was thinking something he should not have been. "Wait why did I think that? Sure I love Akiza with everything I have but why would I be thinking about starting a family. It's too early to be thinking about that, but I want to share everything... no stop it Yusei I can't be thinking with him right now." He said looking down in the direction of 'little Yusei' he still had the dream from a month ago in his mind. He kept wondering what would have happened if the dream lasted a little longer, no he wanted to know what would happen. As much as Yusei would have liked to start a physical relationship with Akiza he knew that he couldn't. He remembered what Martha told him two years ago.
FLASHBACK (2 years ago)
Yusei was still living at Martha's house, and was helping with getting dinner served. Yusei was excited because Martha had arranged for Jack and Crows foster family's to visit for lunch so Yusei could see them again after 12 years apart. Jack was 2 years older than Yusei but he always had big dreams, while crow was about the same age as Yusei but was more care free. They used to play games as the enforcers but it always used to get jack and crow in trouble, so Yusei always had to bale them out.
When Yusei did manage to sit down to eat crow and jack would talk about their new dreams, duels they won or about what they achieved since they left. But a few things Jack kept saying made Yusei uncomfortable. "Jack I don't care about that and you should not be talking about that sort of thing at the table. Martha taught you better than that remember." Yusei shouted after hearing enough. "Well that the benefit of being of age Yusei. The rules you have to follow don't apply anymore and you can talk about that stuff." Jack boosted with crow agreeing with him. "Hold on why are you even agreing with that crow you're too young as well?" Yusei questioned. "Hay I hit puberty early Yusei I have been chatting up girls for over a year already, and it's a good life. You should give it a try." Crow said proudly. "I GIVE UP!" Yusei shouted and walked out of the room. "What did we say?" Crow and Jack said together confused. "I'll see what's wrong with him. I sorry about this." Martha said as she followed after Yusei.
Yusei was sitting in the corner of the living room with his head on his knee's looking mad and upset. "Are you ok Yusei?" Martha asked. "No jack and crow have changed and I don't like it." Yusei replied. "What did they do to upset you Yusei?" Martha asked again. "Jack confused me by saying something was boasting about making it to 3rd base for a month, and crow was agreeing and saying how he was getting girl after girl. They then told me to go out there and try it myself as it's a good life, but I felt uncomfortable. I don't even know what they meant to start with." Yusei explained causing Martha mouth to drop in shock. "Yusei normally I would yell at you for leaving the table without asking, but in this case you did the right thing." Martha said. "Wait I did?" Yusei questioned. "Yusei what Jack mean's with the 3rd base was to do with a physical relationship, it means he was having sex with a girl. He and crow should not have been doing that, beside jack knows he should not be boasting at the table anyway, it bad manners and shouldn't happen. It means they don't treasure the relationship they are in when they do that." Martha explained. "Martha should I do the opposite of what they said to me then?" he questioned. "Yusei it's depends on the situation your in. It's ok to kiss a girl you like especially if they like you back but to have a physical relationship, it should not happen until you have married the person you like first. Only then should you start to think about things like that. As those two are now they will not find the right girl if they continues like that. Oh and between you and me if they try to get you to do anything that wrong, tell me and we can think of something to sort them out ok." Martha finished with a wink, and Yusei nodded before they walked back to the table to finish eating lunch.
FLASHBACK END
"Even now Martha is right but the way I feel right now about Akiza I may not be able to hold myself back. Akiza seems to be able to push the right buttons to set me off. If she keeps flirting with me like that I may... no I need to think ahead. I need to cover myself incase that happens, but what could I do? That's it, protection in case anything dose happen, I need to go to the shops and get some of those things that they talk about on the telly!" Yusei said before rushing to get ready. By the time he was ready to do it was midday so he made himself a sandwich and ate it as he left.
Akiza was not having a good morning, she had a job interview a hour earlier but when she got there she found out the that the office was closed due to a training program running at that time. "How could they organise an interview for a time they not even open at, I even rang them up to confirm it this morning and they said it was right. What the hell was that about, I looked like a fool there." Akiza said angrily. She was sitting on a bench in domino shopping centre just trying to work out what to do for the rest of today. As much as she would like to have seen Yusei but with how bad she felt did not want to upset his day as well. While sat down she thought about all the happened during the last month but the dream see had always filled her mind with wonder. 'I wish that dream didn't finish when it I would have fell him inside ... wait why am I thinking that now. I would like to do that someday but I am too young to be thinking that right now, but I wonder what it feels like though.' She thought trying to imagine what is would be like but couldn't. When she stopped thinking about it she felt like her heart beat was too fast and she could work out why. 'god I have to stop thinking about that but if it happen before I get married. What will I do? I don't want to get pregnant before then.' She thought again worrying about her possible future with Yusei, she was starting to have sexual urges recently and it was effecting her when having romantic moment with Yusei. She remembered a moment she had a few days ago.
FLASHBACK
Akiza and Yusei arrived at Akiza's house after they lunch out and also went to see a movie as well. The whole way home Akiza had been holding Yusei's arm, and she knew she would have to let go soon but did not want to for some reason. "Well I guess your home now Akiza." Yusei said softly. "I guess so Yusei. Would you like to come in for a drink before you go home?" Akiza asked trying to keep him with her a little longer. She did not realise at that moment she was starting with hormonal urges and Yusei was the focus of them. "Sure I could use a drink right now, if your sure it's ok that is?" he replied, Akiza just nodded and unlocked the door and lead Yusei in to her house.
'Why do I feel so warm right now, what's wrong with me?' Akiza thought as her urges were getting worse. Yusei was impressed with the inside of the house, in the back of his mind he wished he could live in a place like that but knew he couldn't. With what was happening in their heads they forgot what they were going to do and Yusei looked at Akiza. "Well, what do we do now?" Yusei asked. Akiza looked at him with a confused look. "What do you think Yusei?" Yusei shrugged. "I don't know. How about we get something to eat and then watch some TV maybe." Akiza rolled her eyes and went up to him she did not hear the TV part but the first part made her mind go wild. She quickly put her arms around him and looked up at his sky blue eyes. "Oh, we'll eat all right." Yusei was now even more confused and the look in her eyes worried him. "Akiza are you tired from our..."
Yusei didn't get to finish his sentence as Akiza's lips were quickly pressed onto his. Yusei quickly walked backwards until he hit the side of a wall. After a few moments, Akiza's tongue wanted to enter Yusei's mouth and he happily accepted. It was a few seconds later, that Yusei noticed that something was off. He could feel Akiza's hips starting to rub against his. 'What is this feeling; it feels so good whatever it is' Yusei thought to himself. Yusei's hands moved down to her bottom and, without even thinking, he started to pinch it. It wasn't a tight pinch, as when someone is trying to hurt you on purpose. Instead, Yusei was gentle, before he could even give Akiza any pain, he would let go.
It was then that Akiza's self control kicked in again and not only realized what she was doing, but also Yusei did as well. She quickly retracted her tongue and then lips. Yusei and Akiza stared at one another as Yusei took his hands off of Akiza's bottom. "I'm sorry," Yusei said quickly. "No. No. I'm sorry," Akiza said as she looked down. For the first time, both of them had done something physical, without the other's permission and without thinking about their actions. Still, Akiza took most of the blame. If she hadn't gotten so excited because of her urges, she wouldn't have started rubbing their hips together, and Yusei wouldn't have felt like touching her butt. "Yusei. I...don't know what got over me. I mean...I was just so excited to see you inside my house and with the great day we had. I just...lost control." Yusei frowned and took his right hand to raise Akiza's face.
"Akiza, you didn't lose control just then. What you were feeling is perfectly normal I think. Besides, were any of our clothes removed?" Akiza shook her head but wished they were. "Are we lying naked somewhere?" Akiza shook her head again. "Right," Yusei replied, "So it's okay. As long as we're completely clothed, what we do is okay. We're not having sex and we're not losing our virginity, ok?" Akiza thought about it for a moment and then nodded slightly. Still, she was concerned about something else. She wanted to go even further and touch his body; no she needed to feel him. She knew she was not ready for having sex but she still wanted to have his body to touch if only for a minute.
"Did...you enjoy what I was doing?" Akiza asked nervously. Yusei was embarrassed by the question and was a little flabbergasted. "Well...yeah," Yusei admitted, "It did feel good. Were...you in any pain because of what I was doing?" Akiza shook her head. "No Yusei. It was really gentle and you didn't cause me any pain at all." Yusei bit his lip. "So...we both liked what was going on and we're not in any pain. Does that mean we have each other's permission to do it?" Akiza shrugged. "I give you permission if you give me permission." Yusei smiled. "Of course Akiza. But..." Yusei paused and felt a little guilty of asking the following question. "Would you mind if we kept going?" Akiza smiled. "As long as we keep our clothes on, then, oh forget it." She started but then went against what she said. Yusei was caught off guard as Akiza resumed the making out session but this time her lips had a fire in them he never felt before and his mind went blank. Akiza's hips dug into Yusei's, giving them both pleasure as Yusei gently and cautiously touched Akiza's butt.
As the making out became deeper and more passionate Akiza started to remove Yusei jacket, then his shirt. Yusei without realising it followed her lead and did the same, removing her jacket and t-shirt as well. They then started to move towards the living area bumping in to anything in the way before Yusei ended up lying down on the couch with Akiza on top of him. Now they had a issue, they were both still wearing their pants and it was becoming a problem. They force their shoes off and untied their own pants and without separating their lips removed them and dumped them on the floor leaving them with only their underwear and socks on. Yusei started to move his hands up Akiza back and along her spine which sent chills through her, this resulted in Akiza's hip becoming more aggressive and deepening they already passionate kisses. Akiza was using her hands to trace and feel every part of his chest. If the term 'Heaven on Earth' was real they both felt like they were there now. As they continues for over an hour
When they did finally finished getting rid of their urges, they both leaned back, gasping for air. They smiled and hugged tightly, thanking the other for the session. Only then did both of them realise what had happened. They had completely done the opposite of their agreement but felt more satisfied than before. They both quickly registered into their minds that they should make out more often, but worried that what happened would cause problems later on. They could also feel the result of their session, Akiza underwear was soaked through and had leaked on to Yusei's boxers as well, it seamed Yusei had a release as well which made Yusei feel an urge to get home quick. Once a moment of silence passed, they both looked at each other, wondering what to do next. "I think I better be getting home Akiza." Yusei said in a panic, but then Akiza grabbed his arm stopping him. "No Yusei can we stay like this a little longer." Akiza then leaned her head on his chest. "I don't want this feeling to end you know. Why don't we watch some TV for a while and then you can go. But I am not letting you go yet... I can't do that yet." Akiza finished with a gleam in her eye. Yusei wanted to resist but something inside him wanted Akiza to be happy. "Ok Akiza how about one full telly program then I will go." Yusei suggested. "Make it two then you have a deal, I'll even make you some dinner before you go." Akiza added, Yusei was sold on the idea and agreed and they put the TV on and just let their body's merge together. They got so combatable that mid way through the second program they fell asleep. When Akiza woke up she realised she was in her bedroom, in bed and Yusei was still with her. Akiza was worried but she was not doing to let it get to her. Yusei was with her and she was going to make the most of it.
What started as a kiss, turned in to a make-out session. Then turned in a love making session with just underwear on to being asleep in the same bed, just like when Akiza was trying to warm Yusei up when he was ill. 'I shouldn't want it but I would like this to happen more often.'
FLASHBACK END
Thinking about it confirmed Akiza's fear. The urges she was having had started again and where she was right now was not a good place to be thinking about it. She stud up and ran to a public bathroom and hid in the disabled cubicle, she would not normally do this but she knew the disabled one had its own sink so she would have some privacy for a while. She was a little relived when she found her underwear was ok but she found that if she had waited and longer she would have ended up with a dampness problem as her cave had becoming wet. 'Dam this! I have to start carrying extra underwear with me when I go out unless I can't stop this happening. I can't be running off to a bathroom everytime I think of Yusei.' She thought to herself. She spent 5 minutes to clean up her dam problem and after putting all the clothes back in place she washed her face with cold water hoping it would wake her up better, it did work as she forgot Yusei for a while at least. 'I think just in case something happens I better get some birth control things, at least is should suppress any hormone effects.' She thought before leaving to do the said task.
Yusei arrived at domino shopping centre's parking lot and managed to find a space close to the store he needed to go to conveniently. "Ok the domino heath store is there. I just hope I can get what I am after without being questioned any anyone, it would be bad if anyone asked me for an autograph while in there." Yusei said to himself as he locked his duel runner system and walked into the store. As he look around the store his dislike of shopping started to show as he could not find anything he was looking for at all. One of the store workers saw this and walked over to him. "Is they anything I can help you with?" the male worker asked. Yusei was nervous but he had to get it over with, "I hope so, I am looking for something for a friend and I don't know where they are." Yusei lied. "Ok what are you looking for?" the worker asked. "Condom's" Yusei said quietly. "Condoms there on isle 19, over there sir." The worker said pointing to the other side of the store. "Thanks sir." Yusei replied before walking away.
Akiza at the same time as Yusei enter the store from the entrance on the other side of the centre and went straight to the help desk. The lady working there looked fed up since no one was at the help desk. "Hi I need some help" Akiza said to the lady and she jumped in surprise. "Oh oh right hi. I'm sorry how can I help you today miss" she asked. "Well I looking to start on some birth control. Can you tell me how to get some?" Akiza asked. "Oh yes can you tell me you age please miss?" the lady asked. Akiza placed a card on the desk and the lady looked at it and jumped in surprise. "Wait you a trained nurse Miss … Akiza?" Akiza nodded. "Right so I don't need to give the normal questions then do I? wait here and I'll get it for you." The lady said before walking away. 'I'm glad I had that ID card with me today, it could have been long winded if I didn't.' Akiza thought to herself. The lady came over with a three month's supply of the birth control pills Akiza asked for. "Here you go miss. There's a three months supply here. That's $40 please." She said and Akiza paid the money. "Miss could you direct me to where the condoms are please" Akiza asked. "There on isle 19 miss, are they for your boy friend?" she asked. "Well I guess so, I want to get some for him in case we get a little heated later in our relationship. But we haven't gone that far yet though." Akiza replied. "I understand miss have a nice day." The lady said as Akiza left.
They both entered the isle at the same time but from the opposite ends, Yusei was looking down to avoid being seen by duellist fans while Akiza was just looking at the shelves looking for what she was looking for. 'I should get a few different sizes of condoms, and then when we get to that point we can pick the right size for the job.' Akiza thought since Akiza could only based her thought on her dream which may not be useful. Yusei did find them first but became confused. 'I think I know which size to get but what the difference between all the different types.' He thought in confusion, he had never needed to look at them before so had no idea what to choose. After another minute Akiza bumped in to Yusei but she did not know that. "Oh I am sorry I did not see you." Akiza said in a panic. "No it's ok... Wait your ...AKIZA what are you doing here!" Yusei said in surprise. Akiza looked up to see Yusei's face. "Wait Yusei I did not know you would be here, why are you here?" she replied unaware what she came for was near what she was now. "I'm here because Martha asked me to get some stuff for her from here. What about you?" Yusei lied. "Looking into some jobs I saw online, not doing well with it though." Akiza half lied.
They both looked at each other worried they would notice what they came for; luckily Akiza was looking on the wrong side of the isle to start with so when she looked down she saw the condoms. 'That's where they were, dam Yusei is to close I have to wait and come back for them.' She thought. "OK I guess where both busy today then, would you like to join me for dinner tonight then Akiza." He asked hoping to get her away quickly so he could get what he wanted and go. "I would love to Yusei I'll call you later for the details ok. See you later." Akiza said before walking off, Yusei walked off as well but kept a look out for where she was. After 5 minutes they both returned to the end of isle 19 and looked around to see if the other was around and saw nothing of them. 'Great now I can get them and go!' the both thought at the same time.
The condom's were in the middle of the isle from both of them so they decide on their own to walk backwards to get to them so no-one would see them while looking side to side. Akiza had already worked out how many steps were needed to get there and Yusei knew what to look for to find them so they attempted to get them again. 'Ok this time I'll just grab the first box I see and go.' They both thought as they continued to get closer until they were only a step apart. 'Ok 1. 2. 3' they thought and reached to grab a pack but what they felt sent a shock though there body's instead. They turned around and they both locked eyes on the same box with their hand both holding it. "Hay I got this first." They both said at the same time as their eyes spotted each other again. "Yusei what are you doing?" Akiza asked confused. "I was going to ask you the same Akiza." Yusei replied. They were both looking at eachothere thinking something was going on. Bumping in to each other on the same isle not once but two times now, they realised they had some explaining to do now.
They both spent a few minutes talking about their worries and how they wanted to get some protection to prevent anything happening. It was hard to swallow that they both came to the same shop, on the same day looking for the same thing. "I guess we have been on the same page all day Akiza without even talking about it first right." Yusei said. "I guess but it doesn't make it any abetter that we lied to each other to cover what we were doing." Akiza pointed out with Yusei nodding in agreement. "Hay Akiza how about we make a deal, right here right now?" Yusei asked. "That depends what you're thinking Yusei." Akiza replied. "Ok how about from now on anything to do with our relationship, either physical or not, we talk and think about it together from now on, and we keep no secrets." Yusei suggested and Akiza nodded to it but she knew she could not tell Yusei about her small problem. They both sealed the deal with a kiss then decide to agree on which pack of condoms to buy, Yusei picked the right size while Akiza choose the type of condom.
They paid for them and started to walk back to Yusei's place. But it did not stop Yusei wanting to put a last point in to the event. "You know we may have to try these things out to see if their ok for use." Yusei joked but Akiza did not see the funny side of it. "What are you kidding where too young for that still." She replied. "Akiza I was joking, we can do that when we are ready to go that far. I will not do anything you don't want to do." He responded. Akiza was glad about that but wanted to get her own back on him now. "You know you may have to show this girl a good time tonight to make up for that comment." Akiza joked. "Ok, your worth it anyway." Yusei responded before leading Akiza in to the tops. Akiza then realised she didn't get him back at all since Yusei turned the comment around onto her. 'I think I may have just been fooled in to this somehow! I'll get him for that one later.' Akiza thought but knew Yusei would deliver, and she was going to make shore he paid in full.
