Chapter 9

Next thing they knew they were standing in front of Yuya's home, it looked as though it was getting close to being dark with the sun starting to set. He smiled and looked at Yuto, " Welcome to Standard.~" He giggled with a smile.

Yuya smiled as he looked at Yuto's face. Of course he hasn't gotten use to teleporting through dimensions despite all the times he has done it, " Come on let's go on in." He said as he lead the other inside the house, " Mom we're here!~" He called as the woman walked out.

" I've been waiting for the both of you." She said with a smile, " It's good to see you again Yuto." She said looking at him, " How have you been?" She asked.

Yuto blinked, a little surprised by that. She had? Well he supposed logically it made sense for Yuya to ask before bringing him over, " I'm good, thank you for asking." He returned politely, " How have you been? I'm sorry I've been keeping Yuya from you so much lately." Yuto continued, wanting to show her utmost respect. Especially if he wanted to ask her at some point for permission to date her son. Which. . .he considered maybe he should do. . .soon. He just wanted to be proper about it. He didn't know if Yuya had told her anything or not. Yuya hadn't told her alot about his and Yuto's relationship. He didn't know if Yuto would be ok with it really, but he had guessed since he was ok with Shun and Ruri knowing that he wouldn't mind about his own mom knowing. She knew that Yuya had developed a crush with someone in Yuto's dimension thanks to Yuzu, just not who it was, but Yuya had planned to tell her.

She smiled, " I've been good and Yuto don't worry about that. He loves going to go see you and I don't mind as long as he's not causing trouble." She said looking at Yuya.

" I haven't caused any trouble." He said as she looked at him, not believing him at all.

Yuto wasn't about to tell her in that exact moment anyway. He was pretty worn out still really. Yuto shook his head, " Yuya has been nothing but a great help to all of us. We really appreciate him being there to help." He explained. More specifically, he did, but he didn't need to clarify that. It would be a little embarrassing right then, " Thank you for letting me stay here Mrs. Sakaki. If there's anything at all I can do to help out, please let me know." He urged her, wanting to do what he could for her too.

She smiled, " That's great to hear he's been a great help over there." She said happily, " It's ok Yuto you are the guest and we are the host right Yuya?" She asked looking at her son who nodded.

" That's right.~ You are in the Sakaki household and you are the guest Yuto." He said happily, " Come on let's go put our stuff in my room." He said leading the other up to his room.

Yuto nodded carefully, feeling a little odd with this new perdicament. Although. . .It wasn't so bad, it was just. . .odd feeling. Things already had a completely different atmosphere there. Yuto followed Yuya up to his room, scanning it. It seemed so familiar to him, like he'd been there many times before. In reality, he hadn't, even with Yuya, he hadn't been too many times. Still though. It had that familiarity to it.

" Sorry about the mess." He said with a sweatdropped, it was alittle messy with some clothes on the floor.

Yuto shook his head and gave Yuya a smile, " No, it's. . .very you. . .~" He noted, already feeling a bit more relaxed. Yuya's room was bright and colourful too. It all felt so weird to see after having been in Heartland for so long. Maybe. . .they had been right. Maybe he was being effected by all that to some degree. Yuto sat himself on the bed edge, setting his bag down. He wondered if he would be sleeping with Yuya still. He supposed his mom probably had sleeping bags and such for him, so it wasn't as necessary as it was in Heartland.

. . .Still though.

Yuya looked at Yuto and smiled at the compliment, " Thanks." He thanked, " Oh and we'll still be sleeping in the same bed." He said, " It's big enough to fit the both of us and you know I don't mind to share a bed." He said. He hoped Yuto would have fun while he was here and be able to relax. He especially hoped so with the date that he had planned and with the help with Yuzu he knew exactly what they would be doing. He didn't know if Yuto would consider it a date but he most certainly would, if anything.

Yuto would if Yuya told him that's what it was or. . .better yet, if he asked him first. Yuto wouldn't say no to something like that. He'd already suggested prior that he had interest in that.

" I. . .guess, but. . .does. . .your mother know about us. . .? If she comes in and sees us, wouldn't it be. . .not good?" He questioned, forgetting that Yuya naturally cuddled up to people in his sleep anyway and that his mom would probably know that. Honestly, if he did remember that, he'd probably start feeling just a little bit jealous of anyone he did sleep with.

" She knows some things because of Yuzu, but she doesn't know it is you." He said, " I-it's not like i'm embarrassed or anything. I just didn't know if you were ok with her knowing." He said, " I know she doesn't have a problem with me liking boys." He said, " She knows I cuddle in my sleep so she would probably just think of it like that, but I do plan on telling her." He said looking at the other, " But I mean i'm not gonna stop sleeping with you because of it." He added as he sat besides Yuto and leaned his head against the other's shoulder.

Yuto blushed at that last comment in particular, gently taking Yuya's hand in his, lacing their fingers. " When. . .we decide we want to start dating. . .is it okay if I ask your mother for permission?" He questioned, " I just want to be respectful and. . .do this properly." He explained. They hadn't gone on any dates yet, so he wasn't sure if asking her for permission to date him eventually had the same thing to it. All the same though, if Yuya didn't want him doing something like that, he wouldn't. It was just that Yuya meant a lot to him and he wanted his family to like him too. He wanted to be with Yuya for a long time to come and that meant getting along with his family best he could.

Yuya blushed and smiled lacing his fingers with Yuto's, " Yes you can Yuto." He said. He knew Yuto would treat him with respect and he just liked Yuto alot. His mother liked Yuto already and nothing would ever change that. He didn't mind if Yuto did that it just showed him how much Yuto cared about him and that made him hear skip a beat. He really has never felt like this ever before with anyone and he wanted to be with Yuto and really only Yuto. No one had ever make him feel the way he feels about Yuto and he knew Yuto felt the same way about him as well. He wanted to tell him about his plans he had planned for tomorrow but thought maybe he would be more surprised if he didn't tell him. He knew that they weren't dating yet but at the same time they were together too. Yuya didn't mind though really he knew Yuto liked him the same way he liked the raven and that was all that mattered to him.

Their relationship was. . .complicated. But Yuto didn't mind that. He was happy he could be with Yuya anyway. He gave Yuya's hand a little squeeze, " I'll ask you properly one day too." He assured him softly, resting his cheek against the top of Yuya's head. He had no doubts that he would one day ask Yuya to be his boyfriend. He didn't think he'd earned that right yet, but after a couple dates, he definitely would. Yuto cared very deeply for Yuya and he doubted that feeling was ever going to change in his heart, " Yuya. . .I'm sorry you have to, but. . .thank you. . .for worrying about me." He added in softly.

Yuya smiled, " It's ok Yuto." He said, " That's what what we do for the people we care about so much." He said. He closed his eyes felt so relaxed, " I don't mind the wait Yuto. As long as I get to be with you." He said, " But I do wanna tell my mom though. Not tell her we're dating though but that it's you I care deeply about. Is that ok?" He asked, he knew it would kind of be hard to explain their relationship to his mom but he wanted to ask Yuto first if it was alright.

Yuto smiled softly. Yuya was such a sweet and perfect guy. . .~ He made Yuto feel so lucky to be with someone like him. Even if it wasn't official, to him, he already felt completely committed to Yuya. There was no one else he wanted, just him, " Of course you can." He replied easily, " I'm not at all ashamed of this." He did get embarrassed, but. . .he was happy too that Yuya wanted to tell his mom about him. It meant that Yuya was at least to some degree serious about him too. So far though, Yuya hadn't done anything to tell him otherwise of that fact either though. . .~ Yuto gave Yuya's hand another little squeeze, nuzzling his face softly into his hair, " You make me really happy, Yuya. . .~" Yuto smiled into Yuya's hair, feeling his heart beating quickly again and his whole body filled with this pleasant warmth that he only felt around Yuya. He was really something special. . .~

" How I got lucky enough to have someone like you fall for me is beyond me, but I'm so happy that you did. . .~" He added in, feeling rather sentimental. He was feeling pretty good right then. Yuto gently kissed the top of Yuya's head, not thinking too hard about it at the moment. He just wanted to.

Yuya giggled and blushed, heart beating happily and stomach feeling tingly. He didn't expect Yuto to kiss the top of his head, " I should be saying that. I'm not sure how I got someone as great as you Yuto." He said. He wanted to stay like this forever; it reminded him of when they were on the trolley and they had fallen asleep in each other arms like this. It was nice and Yuto's body was always warm to him and he loved it.

Yuto chuckled softly, " Mm, well I'm glad you hold me in such high regard then." He noted, feeling rather happy at the moment. But also. . .he was feeling rather tired too, " Mmm. . .Yuya. . .I'm sorry to break this up a bit, but I'm. . .getting rather tired. . .I. . .haven't been sleeping much lately, so. . ." He didn't want to draw back to this so much and ruin their moment, but he didn't want to just fall asleep on Yuya either.

Not. . .like this anyway. He did want to be close to him when they laid down again though.

Yuya nodded, " I understand. I'm feeling kind of tired as well." He said, " Why don't we get changed and then we can go to bed." He suggested looking at the other. He was feeling tired himself having worked with the delivers then playing with the children had tired him out. He wouldn't mind if Yuto fell asleep on him; he knew he had fallen asleep on Yuto many times before so he wouldn't mind if Yuto did it, plus he knew the other was tired from not sleeping well.

Yuto nodded, reluctantly letting go of Yuya's hand and getting up, " Sounds like a plan." He agreed. He took his PJs out of his own bag, though he wasn't really sure where to go from here exactly. If he thought about it he might be able to figure out where the bathroom was, but. . .he figured maybe he'd just wait for Yuya to direct him instead.

" Here you can change in my room i'll to the other room." He said grabbing his own pajamas. He didn't mind to go there anyway; cause he need to go grab the kitten more catfood anyway. Said kitten was already curled up on the bed about to fall asleep as he picked him up and laid him on the tiny bed in the corner of his bedroom.

Yuto nodded, watching as Yuya moved the small cat that, evidently, shared his name. That might get a little confusing at times, but it was sweet that Yuya liked him so much that he wanted a little something of him when he was back home too. Yuto waited for Yuya to leave, then got himself changed. He moved over to the small kitten in the corner of the room, crouching down to pet it, " If you're going to be sharing my name, then you have to protect Yuya when I'm not here. . .Okay?" He murmured to the small cat, recieving a tiny little cat noise in return. He chuckled softly, scratching behind his ear, " Okay, good, I'm going to take that as a yes then."

Yuya went to the bathroom to change into his pajamas before going downstairs to say goodnight to his mom and grab more catfood before going back upstairs to his room. He knocked on the door to make sure Yuto was dressed before he walked in. Once he got the ok to come in he saw Yuto scratching the kitten Yuto's ears, " Well I can see that you two are gonna be best friends." He giggled softly, before laying his goggles and necklace on his dresser with his deck, " Do I have competition?" He asked playfully looking at the kitten, " Too bad this Yuto's mine." He said joking.

Yuto blushed lightly, though he chuckled and got up, crossing back over to Yuya and pulling him into a gentle hug, " That's right~" He allowed. He was still feeling sentimental, " It's okay, Yuya. I was just telling him that he better watch out for you when I'm not here to." He explained simply, feeling a tab embarrassed, but for the most part, he was just in a good mood. Yuto gently parted from Yuya and got himself into the bed. Yuya's bed. He wasn't sure why exactly, but there was something about the idea of sleeping in Yuya's bed that felt. . .special.

Yuya hugged back with a soft giggle as Yuto pulled away and got into his bed. He had to admit it was strange to see Yuto laying in his bed only because this was probably the first time he was really ever in his room or even his house for the matter. He under the covers with Yuto. He just hoped the change in scenery would help stop the nitemares. If he had them he was prepared to do anything he could to help the other. He had remembered what Shun had told him to do if he had them. He knew Yuto would probably feel bad for having them especially now being at his home with his mom in another room, but she was a sound sleeper even an earthquake wouldn't wake her up. He had cuddled against Yuto but wrapped his arms securely around the other as well.

Yuto smiled when Yuya cuddled against him, holding him close to him as well, " Good night, Yuya. . .~" He wished him, feeling quite happy to be there with Yuya at the moment. Yuto didn't know if this would stop his nightmares, but he hoped, for at least that night, that he'd be able to sleep peacefully with him. He didn't want anything to spoil this sweet moment he had with Yuya right then.

In the end. . .he was happy he'd decided to come here with him. . .~

" Night Yuto.~" He wished the other as well. He was glad it seemed that Yuto was happy he decided to come here. He rested his eyes; slowly falling asleep. He felt comfortable as always when he slept next to Yuto. How Yuto cuddled against him as well was what made his heart beat.

Soon enough though he ended up falling asleep.

Yuto had gotten more comfortable with and more used to them cuddling up in bed together now that he could just enjoy it without embarrassment. Of course, he'd still feel that if anyone saw them, but if it was just Yuya, then that was fine. . .~Yuya cuddled up to him enough times now that Yuto knew it was an okay thing for them to do. Yuto fell asleep soon enough as well, thankfully having a peaceful sleep that night with Yuya. It was a nice break from the few days of nightmares and barely any sleep he'd been having.

Yuya woke the next morning; to his alarm which was set to a later time than the two had normally woke up back in Heartland. They didn't have to worry about getting up and getting ready to work. They were having a relaxing vacation from it. He looked over at Yuto and smiled warmingly when he realized that Yuto didn't have any nitemares; well unless he did and he didn't get woken up by them, but he was a light sleeper so he would easily have woken up.

Yuto jolted at the alarm going off, not super good with sudden loud noises when he was sleeping, his eyes snapping open in sudden fear and his hold on Yuya tightening, taking a moment before he could make sense of the situation and relax again, loosening his grip completely. He let out a breath. He didn't handle alarms very well unless they were a slow soothing kind of gentle wake up like his own alarm was. His resistance instincts kicked in any time he got a sudden wake up. Yuto rolled onto his back and covered his eyes with the back of his wrist, his other hand resting over his speeding heart. It was fine, calm down.

Yuya felt Yuto tighten his hold on him, " Oh sorry Yuto!" He apologized turning off his alarm quickly. Dang now he scared Yuto, " Yuto it's ok." He said placing his hand onto of Yuto's hand that was one his chest and rubbing the side with his thumb. Yuya kept his eyes on Yuto to make sure he was ok. He should've remembered to change his alarm to a much softer one for it would do that.

Yuto removed his wrist from his eyes, looking up at a rather concerned looking Yuya. He smiled weakly at him, " No, sorry, it's okay, I just. . .sudden. . .loud noises. . .when I'm sleeping tend to. . .startle me awake, since. . .well. . .yeah. . ." He trailed, not wanting to get into it since he figured Yuya would be able to understand. His little comforts definitely made him relax quicker though, but it didn't stop his heart from racing, that was for sure, " That was my fault, I should have told you." He knew he hadn't. Yuya had heard his alarm before, but he knew he hadn't told Yuya the reason. It was just a shock though, he'd be fine.

Yuya still wanted to make sure he was alright after that. He understood his reasons to why he wanted, " No Yuto it's ok it's not your fault." He said just wanting to hug him right now, but he decided that maybe he should change the subject abit, " Why don't we go downstairs to see what mom made for breakfest?" He suggested, " Hopefully Sora aint here since he just makes it a habit to come into my home in the morning usually." He added with a slight chuckle.

Yuto nodded, " Sure, that sounds nice." He agreed, wondering what a meal from Yuya's mother would be like, " And you say that, but Sora is your friend, isn't he? I guess you're more saying that for my benefit though considering how poorly he treated Shun." He mused. He didn't think too harshly on his encounter with the small boy. He just. . .seemed like a small boy to him after all. Yuto could handle him. Plus Sora switched sides anyway, so it wasn't like he could call him his enemy. He switched sides for Yuya even. Yuto could respect that.

" He is, but it's gets annoying sometimes that I wake up and he's just here. He did treat Shun terribly and I didn't like it, but he did switch sides so I guess it's alright." He said as he got up from out of bed. He stretched as he normall did in the morning with a yawn as he went to get his normal clothes, " I'll go get changed in the bathroom and you can get changed in here alright?" He said.

Yuto nodded. " Sure, that sounds fine." He agreed, getting himself out of bed. He waited for Yuya to leave before he got himself into fresh clothes. Yuto made Yuya's bed for him with the free time he had, then sat on the edge, looking around the room. It felt so unreal to be there right then. Not to mention it was odd for him to not be going straight to work again that morning. . .But. . . this was supposed to be his vacation he supposed, so. . .he would take it as his friends directed him to.

He was grateful to them though, to Yuya especially. He appreciated their concern for him and it was sweet of Yuya to take him away like this, even if it was just to his house, it felt like he'd been taken somewhere fancy in comparison to his own place. Yuya smiled as he left to go get dressed. Other than the alarm the morning was doing good. He could smell his mom's cooking coming from the kitchen. When he came back he saw Yuto had made his bed and flushed thinking it was so cute that he did that. He was glad Yuto was here and glad to see he was relaxing; it was probably weird for him especially since by now he would be working with Shun right now. He was happy that Yuto had said agreed to coming here and he couldn't wait to start this day together with Yuto. He thought about things they could do through the day before starting the date he had planned later. He thought maybe they could go see Yuzu knowing the two were friends and she had wanted them to come see her whenever he would come for a visit.

Yuto looked up at Yuya when he entered the room, then got to his feet, figuring they'd be leaving the room to head downstairs now. Yuto had noticed the pole that he knew Yuya took to go downstairs most of the time, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to take that. It was very Yuya, but it felt. . .embarrassing to him? He supposed it probably wasn't only Yuya that took it though, but. . .still. He guessed if Yuya did use it to go down though that it would be even weirder for him to separate from him to go take the stairs instead.

Yuya smiled and lead the other down the stairs and head to the kitchen where his mom was making pancakes for the both of them, " Morning Mom." He called to the woman who looked over at the with a smile.

" Morning Yuya, Yuto. How did you both sleep?" She asked.

" Good morning, Mrs. Sakaki." He gave her a polite smile, " I slept very well. How about yourself?" He returned. Just instinctively, Yuto tried to be extra polite around adults. He sat down at the table with Yuya, somewhat pleased that it turned out that Sora wasn't there. He hadn't exactly wanted to see him, even if he and Yuya were friends again. They were still on. . . weird terms. He wasn't even exactly sure what Sora's opinion of him was honestly.

Yuya sat at the table with Yuto, " I slept very well Yuto. It's good to hear that you two slept well." She said as she began to prepare getting their plates.

" What did you make?" Yuya asked as she showed him the pancakes and he was very happy, " Yes you'll get to try Mom's pacakes they are very good.~" He said all too excited which Yuto chuckled.

" Oh stop Yuya.~ You're embarrassing your mother." She said happily with an embarssing flush.

Yuto looked at the fluffy, delicious looking pancakes, " They do look good. Yuya speaks very highly of your cooking." He let her know, waiting for at least Yuya to grab some of his own before he did too. Yuto hadn't had pancakes since he was small, so it would be a nice treat he figured. He waited for Yuya to finish with the syrup before using it on his own food. He took bite, then smiled brightly at Yuya's mother, " He was right, this is very good, thank you."

" Thank you Yuto. I made plenty for the both of you so eat as much as you want." She smiled as she sat eating her plate of pancakes. Yuya smiled to hear that Yuto loved them; maybe not as much as he loved them, but atleast he was enjoying the food, " So what do you boys plan to do today?"

Yuya swallowed the food he had in his hand before answering, " Well I know Yuzu wanted us both to stop by and say hey, but we might walk around; go to the duel school and so on." Yuya told her. He had told his mom that he had a day planned for Yuto to be able to relax since he has worked alot and she even had suggested a few places they could go to, like the park or arcade or something.

Yuto took that in and nodded, it being the first time that he'd heard Yuya mention this, " I'm fine with going to see Yuzu as long as she leaves her bracelet behind. We're not allowed to be in the same place at the same time with that bracelet around after all." And getting warped was always so disorienting. He always ended up in a strange place. He supposed it was possible that Yuya would be the one getting warped, but all the same, he felt like it was more likely to be him.

" I'll try to remember to tell her that." Yuya said with a soft giggle. He remembered they couldn't be at the same place at the same time because of her bracelet. He remembered it was mostly Yuto or Yugo getting warped to another place before he would arrive way before.

Yuya's mom smiled to hear them and when her son son giggled she smiled brightly, " Oh well the both of you are just so cute.~" She exclaimed happyily. Yuto blushed lightly at that, not really sure how to respond. He didn't get called 'cute' very often. He supposed she didn't mean it as a negative, though it was a little embarrassing to hear. Yuto focused on finishing his breakfast, still feeling a little weird that he wouldn't be going straight to work again after this, but. . .he said he'd stay, so. . .he'd stay for a little while longer.

Yuya blushed, " T-thanks mom." He said kind of embarrassed at what his mom had said. He finishing his pancakes before getting up to take his plate to the sink. He was so ready to start this day with Yuto. He flushed and smile thinking about it, he and Yuto were gonna have the best date ever. He was gonna take him all over the place and and have fun. He sat back at the table as the kitten came downstairs meowing at his feet until he picked him up. The kitten purred into Yuya before pawing at his necklace.

" You know he likes your necklace? Oh did you ever pick a name out for the little guy?" She asked looking at him. Yuto watched as Yuya played with the small kitten with a soft smile. It was a sweet sight. He blushed a tiny bit at the question. Did his mom not know that Yuya had named the kitten after him? Well he supposed he hadn't told her about them yet either.

He wondered when he wanted to talk to his mom about that. . .Maybe he should leave them alone so he could? He wasn't sure if he should be there or not. Yuto stood up. " Yuya, I'm going to go brush my teeth and such." He clarified, then smiled at Yoko, " Thank you very much for breakfast, it was delicious." He urged her before heading for the stairs again. He felt a little bad not even doing the dishes for them, but he got the feeling that if he asked, they would have said no.

Yoko smiled, " It was no problem Yuto." She said as she got to doing the dishes once everyone had gotten done eating.

Yuya figured he could tell him mom about him and Yuto, " Hey mom? So you know how Yuzu told you that I really liked someone from Yuto's dimension." He asked as she looked at him, " Well it's. . .Yuto and he likes me back, but the relationship is just kind of complicated right now but we really cared for each other deeply." He said with a slight blush.

" Aw Yuya that's so sweet." She said, she didn't understand what he meant by it beng complicated but she wasn't about to ask, " You both are cute together." She added; she thought it was kind of weird since they shared a similar face but as long as Yuto made Yuya happy and Yuya made Yuto happy she didn't mind.

Yuto took a minute to find the bathroom, trying to remember where it was through memories that were probably also Yuya's. He'd only been in this house 'with' Yuya after all. He found it soon enough, brushing his teeth and making sure he was nicely cleaned up for the day. Out of Yuya's central group, he only really knew Yuzu, but. . .he figured they were probably all fairly friendly. . .although Sawatari might. . .not like him so much after that one time. But it wasn't like Yuto really hurt him or anything. Yuto left bathroom, going to head back down to where Yuya probably still was.

Yuya smiled at what his mom just said, " Thanks Mom." He said flushed; he heard Yuto's footsteps on the stairs and saw him come down, " Did you find the bathroom? I should've showed it to you before." He said.

Yuto nodded, " Yeah, it wasn't an issue." He replied, catching himself before he said anything about remembering it through Yuya. It was probably a weird topic to bring up around Yuya's mom. He wasn't sure when Yuya wanted to head out, but he would have to follow Yuya's lead here anyway. He could probably find his way around Standard to some degree, but it would be much easier to just follow Yuya.

Yuya got up from the kitchen table, " Well Mom we're gonna be heading out." He called to her as he went to go get his shoes as he came back downstairs to have the dogs start barking at his footsteps on the stairs.

" Alright you two just be careful and have fun!~" She said happily. Oh yeah he had forgotten to tell his mom that this was a date and that Yuto didn't know but he guessed she would figure it out from him or Yuzu later.

" You ready to head out Yuto?" He asked with his warm smile on his face. He wasn't ready to start their best day ever together.

Yuto nodded, returning the smile, " Yes, lead the way." He urged him, ready to follow him where ever. Yuto still wouldn't know about any of this being a date unless Yuya told him he was taking him on one. To him, this just seemed like going to visit Yuzu, which would be nice. He got along well enough with her. Even if she used Fusion, she used it to protect her friends and that's what mattered more to Yuto. Yuya decided he would tell Yuto it was a date after visiting Yuzu. He lead Yuto out of his house and down the street to Yuzu's. He didn't know if she would be at home or at the duel school so if anything they could go there as well. He could always call her too if anything.

He pulled his duel disk and hit the contact to call Yuzu and wait for her to answer. He hadn't even told her they were there already. He had let his friend know that they both felt the same way for each other and that it was Yuto he was talking about; he also told her about Yuto coming to stay with him just not when. Yuzu was helping her dad out at the duel school again, though this time just with admin stuff rather than performing. She was looking at the books with him when she heard her duel disk ring, picking it up.

She smiled when she saw it was Yuya, " Hi, Yuya! I'm surprised to hear from you so soon. Are you back already?" She questioned him, figuring Yuya would have stayed in Heartland a little longer than he had. Especially with his thing for Yuto. Yuto was beside Yuya, but he figured she couldn't see him unless he leaned in. Either way, it wasn't really his conversation to have.

Yuya smiled, " Hey Yuzu, guess who's with me?~" He asked cheerfully as he leaned against Yuto showing Yuzu that Yuto was there with him, " We were just about to come visit you actually." He added, " Right Yuto?" He asked looking at him.

He guessed she was at the school helping her dad out from the background he could make out the wall that was at the school. Yuto blushed light at the contact and nodded, not sure if Yuzu knew or how she would react to it even, " Um. Hi, Yuzu." He greeted semi-awkwardly, " Nice to see you."

Yuzu was a little surprised, " You're both here in Standard? I thought you said Yuto didn't want to come here." She pointed out, " Oh, well you can come see me if you want to, I'm just at the school helping out my dad, but I can take a break to see both of you. Yuto, it's been a long time." She smiled at him.

Yuya smiled, " Yup we're both here and he did come." He giggled softly, " Alright we're on our way now." He said, " See you in a second." He sad and hung up on Yuzu, " Let's head to the school.~" He said happily.

He thought he should tell Yuto that he told his mom, " Oh and I told my mom by the way." He said, " She thinks we look cute together." He added.

Yuto nodded, letting Yuya lead him in that direction, " Oh. You told her when I went upstairs? Well. . .that's good anyway. It's nice that she's not against it from the start. That would have made things a lot harder. Not that I would have let that stop me." He noted," The only person I'd listen to for something like that is if you told me." Yuto wasn't that forceful kind of person who wouldn't take no for an answer. If Yuya ever told him to stop, he would. Not that he would be able to just get over it, but he wouldn't overstep any of Yuya's boundaries or feelings. That wasn't right.

Yuya smiled, " Yeah, I just thought I should. I didn't know if you wanted to be there or not." He said and laid his head on Yuto's shoulder, " Even if she said no I wouldn't let me stop me either." He said. " I love being around you Yuto and I care deeply for you so I don't think you would have to worry about me trying to push you away or anything." He said taking Yuto's hand in his own and lacing their fingers together.

Yuto smiled, blushing lightly at that. He gave Yuya's hand a little squeeze, " Well I'm happy to hear that. . .~" He wanted Yuya to like him and to be happy with him and such like that. Plus in general, it was just nice to hear Yuya talk about him caring about him.

Yuto cared very deeply for Yuya too. . .~ He would do his very best to keep Yuya safe and happy. If Yuya's mother had said no to it, he might have gotten sent home, but. . .Yuto would still find a way to make things work, even if she didn't let Yuya go to Heartland any more either. He would do his best to find a way to convince her that he could be good for Yuya. It wasn't that much longer before Yuto spotted the familiar looking duel school. It wasn't exactly a subtle building after all.

" Come on. Let's go in.~" He said happily pulling Yuto into the school. He looked around for Yuzu not seeing her there but guessed she was with her dad.

Even if his mom said no and probably kicked Yuto out he would go with Yuto. Even though he knew his mother wouldn't do that of course. If she had banned him from going to Heartland he would still go anyway to be with Yuto. It wasn't like he normally listened to orders anyway But like he said his mom wouldn't do that. She was happy that Yuya was happy with Yuto; she had no reason to hate Yuto; only of course if he teated her son wrong but as she saw he didn't. He was the sweetest person ever and probably would rather disappear than hurt Yuya.

Which was very true. Yuto would protect Yuya with his life any time he needed to. Yuya's well being was most important.

Yuzu looked up when she saw Yuya and Yuto enter the room she was in, getting off the couch to go over to them with a smile, " Yuya! Yuto! Welcome." She greeted, the moved her eyes just to Yuto, " It's nice to see you again." She noted to him. They only ever seemed to see each other very briefly, but typically it seemed to have a positive light on Yuto. By now too she knew he was a good person.

Yuto nodded and gave her a smil, " Yes, you too, Yuzu."

Yuya smiled once he saw Yuzu walk up to them. He was glad to see that the two were friendly towards each other not knowing if they really got along well or not, " How's the school been going." He asked, " How have you been?" He asked still holding Yuto's hand. He didn't mind to but he would let go if Yuto wanted him too. He knew Yuto probably didn't like doing this kind of thing because of getting embarrassed but he felt it would be ok since they've held hands and all that back in Heartland.

Yuzu did notice that they were holding hands, though if anything, it just made her feel a bit embarrassed, getting a bit of a blush. Other people showing any PDA tended to embarrass her. That wasn't the kind of thing she did. She wasn't going to critisize them for it, but it was just a little embarrassing. Yuto was comfortable with it as well as long as Yuzu wasn't going to tease them, which it seemed like she wasn't about it.

" It's going pretty well! We got a few new students, so dad's happy." She explained, " We miss you though. I'm glad you came back fast this time, Yuya." She noted to him, before going back to the couch she'd been on, patting beside her to try and get them to come sit down, " I definitely didn't expect it. Did you tell Gongenzaka you were back? He worries about you a lot too you know." She pointed out, though she was sure Yuya did know by the crushing hug he'd given Yuya after he'd come back after his long trip in Heartland last time.

Yuya sat besides her on the couch and smiled, " That's great to hear. I know I just feel it is important for me to help rebuild Heartland." He said softly. Ever since he saw Yuto's memories of his homeland's destruction he's wanted to help with repairs that's why he took some time off from his action dueling, school and the duel school to go help out. It was important to him and to Yuto as well. Yuya remembered Gonzenzaka's crushing hug, " Oh yeah I told him for sure. I hope he doesn't try crushing me again with his hugs." He said with a nervous laugh, " I'm alright over there after all Yuto, Shun and Ruri have been taking such good care of me." He said with a soft smile.

Yuto went a bit quiet, thinking a bit about how he really should be there helping. He was easily drawn back to the thoughts again when it was mentioned like this after all. His expression even got a little distant and spacey.

Yuzu giggled, " Well you know he only does it because he's worried. He's your best friend after all! He does support you though. He talks about how proud he is of you. How honorable it is for you to be contributing to such a knoble cause and such like that." she smiled. "We all support you too, it's just. . .different without you around. Sora complains about it sometimes too." She wasn't sure that Sora really liked Yuto all that much, but she made sure to give him a smack if he ever said anything too mean.

Yuya nodded, " Yeah I know. . ." He said looking at Yuto, " Yuto you ok?" He asked, knowing he should probably change the topic by now; just Yuto's expression. He gave his hand a slight squeeze, " Anyway. . ." He said, " How's the action dueling?" He asked looking at her. He knew if they kept on talking about it Yuto would start feeling bad for not being there to help so he decided he should try to talk about something else, " Has anything else happened?"

Yuto looked at Yuya, trying to focus again. Had knew he had to stop thinking about it right then, it was just hard. It all meant a lot to him. Yuzu followed Yuya's eyes to Yuto, easily seeing that he looked. . .not so happy. She easily went with Yuya's topic change, able to see what he was trying to do, " As it usually does. Hey! We don't you two have one! You can perform for some of our new students! I bet they'd love to see your Pendulums Yuya and not to mention, your top level Xyz, Yuto." She urged them both. Maybe a duel would help them cheer up.

Yuto hesitated. He didn't know if he was exactly in the mood for performing.

He looked over at Yuto, " I'm not sure really right now Yuzu. Maybe some other time; we have to head out soon anyway. Other plans you know." He said urging Yuzu; knowing Yuzu had helped him come up with things him and Yuto could do for their date. He didn't think she remembered knowing they had planned all this two days ago if he recalled. " Hehe besides I kind of forgot my deck at home anyway." He said with a nervous laugh. He didn't think he would need to bring his deck with him so he had left it at home on his dresser. Yuto looked at Yuya curiously at that. They had other plans? It surprised him too to hear that Yuya didn't have his deck on him. It felt instinctive to him as a duelist to always had his. But it was fine. If they got into any trouble and needed protection, Yuto could handle it for the both of them.

Yuzu nodded, " Okay, if you're sure. When are you heading out?" She questioned, knowing she wouldn't be able to ask Yuto for a duel either then. There wouldn't exactly be time for it. She knew Yuto wouldn't exactly like her fusion summoning, but she could play her deck without fusion too. She just liked doing it. It helped.

" Soon after we left here. We wanted to come by and see you first to say hey. We'll be here for a few days before heading back so maybe another time we could duel." He explained as he looked at her. He knew Yuto would be wondering what he meant, but soon after they had left he would tell him that he planned this all out and it was a date. He wasn't planning to leave right now but soon they would have to. He didn't think Yuto dueling Yuzu especially if she used her fusion would really be best especially with him having nitemares about the fusion invasion. He didn't know if it would bring up bad memories for the other or not.

Yuzu nodded, " Okay, well another day then. Just let me know when you want to and we can set up a whole thing for it." She smiled. She wondered if it would be a staged kind of performance though. Yuto more naturally seemed like the scary type, so if he were to play the bad guy, that would make sense. . .then again. Her trying to put 'Bad guy' and 'Yuto' together didn't exactly make any sense either. Yuto wasn't even close to that. He was a pure soul who had had a lot of rough things happen to him.

Yeah. It was probably better if they went naturally. And besides, even though she didn't imagine Yuto would put on quite the performamce that Yuya did, she'd be surprised if he wasn't able to make him smile too. Even if he was quiet right then, he hadn't even shown the slightly intent of letting go of Yuya's hand the whole time they'd been there. She could see that Yuto was definitely attached to Yuya too, " Is that okay with you too, Yuto?" she questioned him.

Yuto considered that, then nodded, " Yes, that's okay with me. I want to duel Yuya anyway." He admitted, " Just. . .don't expect me to be using your catchphrase like you or Yugo." he gave Yuya a tiny lopsided grin.

Yuya smiled, " Alright we will, but we must get going now Yuzu." He said getting up from the couch. He didn't mind to have a duel with Yuto; he thought it would be fun. He giggled, " Of course." He said looking at Yuto with a smile, " You ready to go Yuto?" He asked.

Yuzu smiled, pleased to see that they both looked happy together. Even in simple conversations, they looked at each other with such happiness that she could tell that things had to have been going well between them. Yuto nodded, " Sure." He agreed. He was still curious about where they were going though in particular.

Yuzu led them to the door and gave them a wave, " Come back soon." She encouraged them before heading back inside, feeling quite pleased for her best friend. She trusted Yuto to treat him well.

Yuto looked at Yuya when they were alone again, " Where are we going, Yuya?" he questioned him curiously.

Yuya looked at the raven, " Well we're going to go to the arcade that's in Miami City. Then I was thinking about we could see a movie or something. J-just spend time just the both of us. . .you know like, um. . ." He said trying to come out with the words, " A date. . ." he flushed. He was kind of glad he didn't say this in front of Yuzu; he didn't want her to see him studdering and being all embarrassed like this. He knew she trusted Yuto to protect Yuya completely. He didn't know how Yuto would treat it as, or how he will react whwn Yuya called it a date. They had talked about going out on dates before. Yuya wanted to do this for Yuto to show him how much he meant to the crimson-eyed duelist.

Yuto was a little more formal with that kind of thing, so he was a little surprised, processing it just a little differently, " Are you. . .asking me on a date?" He questioned carefully, somehow seeing it more that way than Yuya imposing a date on him.

. . .Not that he would be against that, but this just helped him sort it all out a little better in his head.

Yuya nodded with a smile, " Will you. . .go out on a date with me Yuto?" He asked, he knew it would be more formal to ask the other. He wanted to take Yuto on a date and give him the best time ever while he was in his dimension. Make him forget about those nitemares and just relax. Yuya continued to hold Yuto's hand, having never let go since entering the duel school. He did feel kind of embarrassed with Yuzu being there but he didn't mind. In a way he wanted to show people that Yuto belonged to him; that he was his and his alone. Yuto blushed a little stunned as he hadn't exactly been expecting this. Yuya was asking him on a date? That he already had planned out for them? That was. . .so sweet of him. . .~

Yuto smiled warmly and nodded, " Of course I will." He agreed easily, giving Yuya's hand a little squeeze. He was definitely both curious and a little excited about this now. He supposed now that they weren't in Heartland, that they did indeed have time to date now. That. . .sounded nice really. . .~

Yuya smiled brightly and warmingly, " You won't regret saying that Yuto I promise. As an Entertainer I do plan to make you smile and happy." He said and bowed playfully. He was jsut happy that Yuto said yes. He had planned for them to go the arcade; play a few games there before going to watch a movie; any movie Yuto wanted to watch then go out to eat; he had told him mom that they were gonna be eating out so not to make dinner for them tonight. Then end it with a walk in the park when it got dark; because the park was a great place to go to at night.

Yuto grinned, " I never regret any time I spend with you." He clarified to him, though the idea that they were now going on a date did please him. He wished he had dressed up a little nicer for it, but it was a complete surprise to him, so he couldn't have known. Yuya was so perfect though. He was such a sweet guy and Yuto did appreciate Yuya always doing his best to make him happy too. Yuya was a perfect angel to him. . .~ A shining bright light in his life.~

Yuya flushed at Yuto's words; always happy when he said them. They made him feel special, " And I never regret the time i've spent with you Yuto." He said and hugged the other. He didn't mind what Yuto was wearing; Yuya had been wearing his normal day clothes and he wanted this to be a surprise. Maybe next time they could go out and dress up nice, but tonight this was about them having fun and spending time together.

Yuto was that angel that brightened Yuya's already lighten world; he just made it shine even more. He knew he always felt something different with Yuto than with Yugo or Yuuri. Before he began to develop feelings for Yuto, he saw Yuto as more of a friend as with Yugo and Yuuri he saw them as being friends; who just happened to share the same face. Yuto meant alot to him and he would protect Yuto no matter what, " Well ready to start our date?" He asked.
