Yay!~ It's their date now let's hope they have fun and nothing interrupts and that something ends up happening at the end~ hehe enjoy.~
Chapter 10
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.
Yuto returned the hug, holding Yuya to him with a warm smile. He loved that he could hold Yuya now too. This relationship was only doing good things for him and little by little he grew more comfortable and little by little he fell more and more for Yuya. It was an easy thing to do. He released him finally and nodded, grinning happily at him, " Yes, let's go." He agreed, ready to start on their first date together.
Yuya smiled and nodded as he lead them to the arcade there was usually kids and some teens who came in here to play some games, but by this time alot of people were watching the action duels so not alot of kids were there, " What game do you wanna play first." He asked, there was alot of different games there to play.
Yuto looked curiously around at the arcade, taking a moment to decide before he grinned a bit and approached a shooter, picking up the cheap blue plastic gun, " I'm pretty. . .good at these kinds of games." He grinned a bit, " Or I used to be anyway." He hadn't played in an arcade since he was younger after all. But he and Shun had gone to them before. The two of them usually made an awesome team at these kinds of games. Yuto chuckled, " One time Shun and I played a game like this together and we had such a good run, we started getting a few people watching us." He explained to him with a bit of a grin.
Yuya listened to Yuto as he picked up the toy gun, " I bet you still are, probably better than me anyway." he said picking up the other one. He kind of liked listening to Yuto's past before the invasion, but knew it was probably hard to talk about it, so he really didn't ask not wanting to cause the other sadness, " You two do make a good team." He said with a smile. He knew they did; they had teamed up together with the resistance to fight against the Fusion soldiers; that's what he had seened from Yuto's memories anyway, but even when he was in Heartland he saw how good of a team they were with working and everything.
Yuto nodded, giving Yuya a grin, " It's okay, Yuya. I'll protect you here too." He told him confidently, starting up the game for them.
It was a zombie game. A war game would have been too much for him to handle, but something like this was unrealistic enough. All of Yuto's shots were percise and hit exactly where was most efficient for him. He fell into focus watching out for Yuya too. Luckily he couldn't actually fall behind, but Yuto would make sure he didn't get hit if he could help it, shooting down anyone one that came at Yuya and making sure to guard extra well any time Yuya scrambled with reloading.
Yuya giggled, " Alright and i'll protect you too." He said as Yuto started the game up.
Yuya was glad it was a zombie game; he and Gonzenzaka had played this game once. He had won them the game while Gonzenzaka was trying to figure out how to play. He tried to keep up with Yuto though; he was taking the enemies out and watching out for Yuya as well which made him giggle and smile as he watched Yuto play. He helped out with taking out anyone Yuto didn't get at that time or when he was reloading.
Yuto grinned, enjoying the game, which he was able to get them pretty far in. Although as the difficulty ramped up, it was harder to look out for Yuya, him, in the end, ending up dying trying to protect Yuya. Which. . .seemed rather typical for him, " Ahhh, dang, that's it for me." He grinned, watching his side of the screen remind him of his death. Yuya kept going and when the game got super difficult it wasn't harder and they were coming from all over. Yuto had died protecting Yuya in the game which reminded him of when he took the hit for Yuya when Yugo had attacked. He shook the thought out of his head trying not to ruin the date. He soon ended up dying once the enemies got closer and closer to him.
" That's it for me as well." He said, " We got te highest level though." He giggled, higher than he could ever do.
Yuto grinned and nodded, " It was fun." He agreed, " Okay, you pick the next game now." He suggested, wanting Yuya to pick games he liked as well. Yuto was pretty at peace with the mindset that he would do anything to protect Yuya. So him dying in a game to protect Yuya really felt only natural to him. Although he would have preferred to stay alive to help protect him further, he could only do what he could do.
Yuya nodded and looked around; he wondered what game they should play next? He liked them really. He would really try to avoid any games dealing with for Yuto; he didn't even like them really himself. There was a crane in the back corner and a street fighter kind of game, " Oh let's play Street Fighter." He said looking at the other.
Him and Yuzu played this game and he always won making her pout and get mad. Which would make him laugh as she challenged him again. Yuto nodded, " Sure, we can play that." He agreed. He was moderate at those kinds of games. He wasn't bad, but he wasn't amazing either. He'd played them with Shun too, but mostly they just played the shooters since it was the most fun to them. Yuto walked over to one of the systems, sitting down in one of the chairs provided in front of it, " Did you want to do Verses or just do our own campaigns?" he questioned, fine with either. It would be a longer play though if they did their own, but he was okay with it either way. They wouldn't get to play together otherwise.
" We can do verses." He said as he sat in the chair beside Yuto and grabbed the controller that was laying there. He thought they would probably play a few games in the arcade then go to the movies and later go to eat. This was Yuto's night after all so whatever movie or restaraunt he wanted to go to he wouldn't mind to go.
He started the game and hit verses, before the screen changed to the character selection. He looked to see what character he wanted to use but couldn't choose both wouldn't know what was playing, or restaurants that Standard had, so he'd probably still need Yuya to pick those things for him. But he didn't know the full extent of Yuya's plan yet. Yuto took hold of the joystick, choosing a character he remembered looking maybe similar to one he had chosen before. He didn't play a lot of fighting games. In general, Yuto didn't like fighting. But of course, this was a little different, so he could enjoy this well enough. He got into the game, playing it like he would play duel monsters. Defensively and strategically, being patient and sometimes taking hits if it would give him the opportunity to do things. Yuya ended up picking a character and started the game. Of course he played these games like the way he dueled; by going head into it like he always did. He didn't know the moves this character had but he would know soon. He moved the joystick so the character would closer to Yuto's ready to cause a hit.
He kind of knew Yuto's way of dueling having dueled him that one time but he didn't know his strategy that he was gonna use for this fight. He was having so much fun already and this was just the first place they were going to be going on their date. That just showed how much fun Yuya had with Yuto.
It was a very close game, Yuto winning the first round, Yuya winning the second and then the third, but only by a very close margin. Yuto chuckled, " I guess you won." He noted, relaxing back to watch Yuya play instead. The winner got to move on into campaign mode instead after all. He got to play until he lost a match. Yuto didn't mind watching. If Yuya was having fun, then that was what mattered.
Yuya smiled as he continued on playing until he had lost to a NPC that was on a harder level. He put the controller down and got up, " Hey Yuto if you get hungry just let me know ok?" He asked looking at the other, " We can go ahead and head to the movies too." He added not knowing if they should eat before going to the movies.
Yuto nodded, " We can play a couple more games, then go get lunch if you'd like." He offered, not knowing if that meant Yuya was hungry or not. He was fine with accomodating him however he'd like. Yuya was taking him on a date, yes, but it was a date for both of them still after all.
Yuya nodded agreeing with Yuto, " Alright that's fine." He said with a smile. They would play a few more games before heading off to somewhere for lunch then go to the movies. He didn't know what movie they would see but guessed they would figure that out when they got there. He didn't mind what movie and he knew Yuto would be thinking the same just as long as they were together they were happy. They ended up playing a few more games, a drum simulator, a racing game, air hockey, they even ended up playing a couple ticket games, though they didn't earn enough for a lot, Yuto ended up cashing his for a tiny, thin, cheap metal ring that was coloured half green and half purple.
He turned back to Yuya with a chuckle, then put the ring in his palm, " You can have this." He grinned at him. It was a cheap gift, but Yuto wanted to give Yuya little things, " You can throw it out if you want to." He offered as well, knowing it wasn't exactly great.
Yuya blushed and smiled, " I would never want to throw it away." He said putting the ring on his finger, " Thank you Yuto." He thanked hugging the other, " It's the best present I've ever gotten. Because it's from the best person ever." he said, this was the second thing he had gotten from Yuto; the first being the duel gazer that he kept on his dresser. He wished he could get Yuto something as well.
Yuto blushed, returning the hug, though glancing away with a bit of embarrassment, " Well it's. . .just a cheap arcade ring." He noted, " If that's the best present you've ever gotten, then. . .I guess I've got some work to do." He decided instead. Yuto looked back to Yuya again, not able to get rid of his embarrassed blush just yet, " Shall we go get something to eat?" He suggested, figuring if he was starting to get a little hungry, then Yuya probably was too, " We can just grab something quick, then go to the movies if the movie you want to see is starting soon." He suggested, not knowing what movies were even out let alone their play times.
Yuya looked at the other, " It's the gift that counts." He said then nodded, " Yeah let's go get something to eat." He said taking Yuto's hand again. He kind of started to see that he was being all touchy with Yuto, but he knew if Yuto was uncomfortable with it then he would stop despite that he didn't want to but he would. He was ready to lead Yuto to where most of the food places were. He debated on the place they could eat at. There was the burger place, the steak-n-shake and many others that he didn't mind having. Yuto didn't mind it. They were on a date too, so holding hands made sense to him. He was pleased that Yuya wanted to be near him like that all the time, really. It was nice to know he was so wanted by him. Yuto followed Yuya to wherever he wanted to take them, perfectly happy with the idea. He was just happily enjoying his date with Yuya. In the end, they ended up getting burgers before hurrying off to the movie theater. Yuto was having a nice enough time that for then, he wasn't even thinking about his bigger responsibilities.
Yuya smiled having fun with the date and he could see Yuto was having fun as well. He had to remember to thank both Yuzu and Ruri really. He had thought of some places, but sense he's never been on a date before they both had helped him so he needed to thank them for the help. They had ate burgers before heading off to the movies. They both had decided on a movie, bought popcorn and two drinks before heading into the theater to sit and get to watching the movie. Yuya laid his head on Yuto's shoulder and held his hand. They ended up picking an action movie. Yuto preferred mysteries or suspense thrillers or things like that, but he wanted to compromise to some degree, so this worked fine for him. It had been a long time too since he'd seen a movie in the theaters and he found himself rather captivated the entire time as if he was seeing something for the first time. It did get a little awkward though when they got to the typical action movie make out scene though, Yuto swallowing quietly and become suddenly extra aware of Yuya's presence cuddled partially up to him. Yuya blushed when the make out scene; which he didn't think was in this movie. He liked the movie overall but this he wasn't expecting. He could tell Yuto was probably awkward just as he was. He wasn't expecting the make out scene but it was kind of typical in a action movie like this. Once the kissing scene ended and now there was more action into it he felt alittle bit more better. He remember him kissing Yuto on the cheek before he left and made him blush once more. Yuto was distracted, thinking about kissing Yuya now; what that might be like. Probably. . .nice. He wasn't sure about kissing quite like they were on the screen though. But it seemed like a desperate thing. Part of him imagined doing that in a panic, worry situation with Yuya before be blushed and quickly pushed the thought from his head. He and Yuya hadn't even kissed yet. . .did Yuya want to kiss him. . .? Yuto peeked down a bit to Yuya, who had stayed against him. He'd. . .kissed his cheek and. . .Yuto had kissed the top of his head last night, but. . .the again, this was a date. Were they. . .were they supposed to kiss after. . .? These thoughts kept Yuto plenty frazzled and distracted for the rest of the thought that kissing Yuto would be nice. He would like to kiss Yuto but he didn't know if the other felt the same. He wouldn't mind it though. He didn't expect Yuto to want to kiss him anytime soon; they hadn't been together that long and he wanted Yuto to not feel he needed to. He didn't expect a kiss at the end of the date though; it was their first date and he didn't feel that Yuto would be comfortable with that. He glanced up at Yuto to see the raven and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.
Yuto looked back down to Yuya, his face still flushed red. He didn't know if Yuya could see that in the dark or not though. But Yuya's face just partially lit up in the darkness, with his big red eyes of his looking up at him. You'd think red eyes would be scary in the dark, but coming from Yuya, it just made his heart beat faster again. He wasn't sure. He wasn't sure about kissing yet. Part of him really wanted to though. Yuya was just. . .so sweet. Kissing him sounded nice. . .~ He was nervous if he'd even be able to do it right. He almost wished he HAD kissed Shun that one time Ruri had dared him to in that game of Truth or Dare they had when they were kids. At least then he would have had some experience for when it really mattered. At the time though, that had just. . .been out of the question. The movie soon did end, but Yuto picked up much more in the first half than he did in the second.
Once the move was over the lights lit back up and Yuya leaned his head away and stretched. He looked over at Yuto, " Ready to go?" He asked the other. Now they had the walk in the park, it was the best place for the scenery really. He smiled at the other and took his hand ready to lead him out of the movie theater to the park. The park was really beautiful especially at night. Yuya nodded, following Yuya back out of the theater. The sun was starting to set now and the slight chill in the air seemed to calm Yuto down a little bit more. That's right. He just had to relax. He was with Yuya and they were... taking things slow. He imagined too even if he tried to kiss Yuya annd he messed it up that he would just do that cute little giggle of his and maybe they would try again. Yuto quickly shook himself out of the thought though, not wanting to miss anything Yuya might ask him while he was deep in thought about. . .kissing him. That might be hard to explain.
Yuya lead them to the park and the wind felt perfect to them and it seemed to calm the two down and made Yuya forget about the kissing. Yuya walked through the park holding Yuto's hand. He loved holding Yuto's hand really. He loved cuddling him too and just being with him. He felt relaxed right now; he always felt relaxed around Yuto. He loved that; the feeling he got from Yuto really; his stomach felt bubbly and heart skipped a bit. Yuto held Yuya's hand snugly in his own, watching the sun set before them as they made their way around the rather quiet park. There were a few people there, but not many. A couple of teens, a parent calling to round up their kid to go home, a couple of business men sitting on a bench and chatting casually. Standard was so. . .peaceful. He couldn't help but be a little caught up in what seemed like strange sights to him. Yuya smiled seeing that the park had rarely no people there; if there was they were leaving or talking to their friend. If was pretty relaxful and different from what he had been use to in Heartland. He probably knew Yuto loved being in Standard but he knew he missed Heartland too. Yuya leaned against Yuto and squeezed his hand. The sunset was beautiful and he was glad to see it with Yuto.
Yuto glanced to Yuya, wondering if it was all that comfortable for him to walk that way. Yuya considered it for a moment before taking them off the path and up a bit of a grassy hill, sitting down at the top, " How about we just sit and watch the sunset?" He suggested with a grin. That could be nice. Then when it got cold, they could just go home or something like that. He didn't know if Yuya had any more plans.
" Alright that sounds nice." He said with a nod. He said as he lead Yuto to the bench and sat down having Yuto sit beside him. The sunset was really beautiful and he leaned against Yuto and watched it. The way it was made it all too romantic like and he thought this was a good end to the date to be honest. He looked over at Yuto, " So was this a good date?" He asked, hoping he had fun like he did.
Yuto put his arm around Yuya's shoulders, holding him close as they cuddled up on the bench. He looked the little bit down to Yuya and smiled gently, " Yes it was. I'd say it was the best date I've ever had, but that doesn't really do it justice." he chuckled softly, " But it was very nice, Yuya, thank you. It means a lot to me that you would put all that thought into this for me."
Yuya smiled glad to hear that Yuto loved the date, " It's no problem it makes me happy you loved it. It was the best date." He said, " You can thank Ruri and Yuzu as well they helped me out just alittle with the things we could do. I wanted to take you out on a date." He said with a blush and as he cuddled closer to Yuto. Even when the sun finally went down and it started to get alittle bit more chilly he still felt warm all cuddled up against Yuto.
" Well I'm glad that you did.~ I didn't really notice how tense I've been lately, but today has just been. . .very nice. . .~" He noted to Yuya, stroking his shoulder softly with his thumb. He felt so safe and so at ease with Yuya. . .~ He was such a sweet guy. Yuto watched the sun slowly dip and disappear beyond the horizon, considering something.
Gently, Yuto pulled back, taking one of Yuya's hands in both of his, " Yuya. . .I'm not sure if there are. . .requirements to this and I know that our lives are still very busy, but. . .Yuya. . .would you. . .do me the honor of being my boyfriend?" He questioned, definitely serious about this, " If what it comes down to as most important is a willingness to commit solely to you, then. . .that's never been an issue for me anyway."
Yuya smiled, " Of course Yuto I will like to be your boyfriend." He said happily hugging the other. He couldn't contain his happiness; Yuto has just made him so much happy than ever, " Yuto I promise i'll make you so happy." He said as he placed his other hand touching Yuto's hand, " I promse you." He said. Yuto was his boyfriend, yeah boyfriend had a good ring to it really and he was Yuto's boyfriend. He was just so happy right now; he didn't care if anyone had looked over when he said yes loudly. He was just too happy right now.
Yuto smiled brightly, happy to hear that response from him, " And I promise to make you happy too, Yuya. I'll put in the extra effort for you, I swear." He urged, giving Yuya's hand a squeeze, " Yuya. . .you're such a sweet and perfect person. And as lovely as that sunset had been, it has nothing on you." he compliment, reaching over to gently brush some of Yuya's bangs behind his ear, " I'll do my best to be someone worthy enough to be your boyfriend."
" You have made me happy Yuto. Just being with you has made me so happy." He reassured the other. He was happy to hear that Yuto was wanting to make him so happy and do the best he could to make him happy. He had already made him so happy. He then remembered didn't Yuto want to ask his mom for permission? Oh it didn't matter right now he was too happy to even care about that right now. He blushed, " You are the greatest person ever Yuto you are always worthy to me. You're sweet and just perfect really." He said.
Yuto did want to do that and he had full intention to. However, it was Yuya's opinion that meant the most to him, so he wanted to make sure it was okay with him first before he went asking Yuya's mother. But he would. Now that he knew Yuya wanted to be with him in a committed relationship too, Yuto would definitely ask her. Just. . .not tonight. Tonight, he just wanted to be with Yuya. He smiled warmly to his counterpart, " Then I'll do my best to continue making you happy. As your boyfriend now.~" He tried out. It sounded nice, though it did make him blush a little bit.
Yuya smiled and leaned his head against his boyfriend's shoulder. He liked the sound of that; liked how it sounded coming out of his counterpart's mouth. He wanted to protect the raven; wanted to cherish him dearly. Tonight was their night right now, nothing else. That's why he hadn't brought his deck or used his duel disk much. Using it only once to call Yuzu. He didn't mind that they didn't do anything fancy; just as long as he was with the person he loved.
Yuto smiled warmly, watching Yuya cuddle up to him again. He didn't know if it was love yet, but he had no doubts that he would one day. His feelings for Yuya only seemed to grow stronger and stronger each day. Yuto put his arm around Yuya's shoulder again. He leaned in gently, giving Yuya's temple a kiss. He blushed at his own action, but. . .he. . .figured he was allowed to kiss his new boyfriend. . .~ Yuya blushed when the other had kissed his temple and smiled. He hadn't expected Yuto to do it but it wasn't like he disliked it. He leaned up and kissed Yuto's cheek. He wanted to show Yuto that he was ok with kisses like that. He felt safe and protected in Yuto's arms; he always did. It made him feel loved and he loved that; especially from Yuto. When it came from Yuto it felt like his body heated up with happiness. Yuto blushed and smiled happily at his boyfriend. He was in such a good mood right then, it almost made him feel a little playful, resting his forehead gently against Yuya's, giving him a tiny eskimo kiss, holding him close to him.
" Yuya, let me know when you get cold and then we can head back to your place." He suggested to him, unable to lose the smile he had at the moment. Yuya just made him very happy.~
Yuya felt his face flushed but returned the eskimo kiss. He giggled softly, " I will." He said he was starting to get cold but he was alright, " Are you cold we can go ahead and head back?" He asked looking at Yuto. He was in a good mood; not that he ever got in a bad mood or anything, but this was just so great really. Best night ever he had to say really and it was thanks to Yuto. Yuto gave Yuya's forehead another kiss, feeling a little bit affectionate at the moment too. He was just very happy with Yuya right then.~
" We can head back." He agreed, " I want to take good care of you after all." He decided. Yuto let Yuya go, getting up from the bench and taking his hand instead, giving it a little squeeze, " Let's go." he smiled.
Yuya giggled and nodded as he took Yuto's hand, " Ok and I want to take care of you too." He said nuzzling against Yuto as he leaned away so they could head home. By now everyone else had gone home so they should probably as well. Yuya didn't want this night to end though. It was so perfect. He knew they would have more dates, but he wanted this one to last forever. Yuto was so sweet and loving and he loved it.
Yuto gave Yuya's hand a little squeeze as they made their way back, " Tomorrow, I'm going to talk to your mother." He let him know, " Is that okay?" He'd already asked if he could, he just wanted to make sure he kept Yuya in the loop with anything he was doing that regarded him. He felt that was only fair. Yuto imagined that she would probably say yes, though he wondered if she would give him a hard time about it at all. Being someone's romantic interest and being someone's boyfriend were two completely different things he felt.
Yuya nodded and squeezed his hand back, " Yeah that's alright." he said and smiled. He was happy that Yuto wanted to ask for his mom's permission to date him even though he knew she would say yes.
He just hoped she wouldn't give him a hard time with it though, or would tease him or anything like that, but he knew she wouldn't for sure. Yuya meant a lot to him, so he really just wanted to ask. He didn't want there to be anything in the way of their relationship that wasn't something they themselves caused. If it was just them, they could fix it together.
Soon enough the arrived back to Yuya's place. Yuto briefly wondered if he should try and kiss him at the door since it would be the end of their date, but. . .he still wasn't sure if he was completely ready for that or not, so he just let it be, heading inside with him. He was still nervous about doing it wrong. Yuya headed inside with Yuto and up the stairs. He guessed his mom was already asleep and walked into his room; turning the light on and closing the door once they both had walked in. He was tired really from the great night they had together. He sat on the bed and took off his shoes.
He felt like he was about to fall asleep really; despite all the fun they had it had worn him out. Yuto could see that Yuto was tired, " You stay here and get changed, I'll go to the bathroom." He urged him, getting his PJs to get changed into for the night. Then they could go to bed together. Yuto was still in a very good mood. Seeing Yuya all sleepy was pretty cute too. . .~ His boyfriend was definitely cute.~ He was still enjoying being able to call him that. He nodded and got changed into his pajamas after Yuto had left the room. His boyfriend was so sweet really. His tongue felt sweet when he called Yuto his boyfriend. He felt that it was right to call Yuto that. Once he was dressed he opened his door and sat on his bed waiting for Yuto to come back. He was kind of nervous about tomorrow really but he knew everything would be alright really. His mom would be happy and give Yuto permission.
Yuto returned to the room, giving Yuya a smile. He shut out the lights, then made his way to the bed, crawling under the covers before opening an arm for Yuya, " Okay, come here." He encouraged softly, able to see how tired Yuya was. He was assuming that Yuya felt the same that he did about being close with him like this which. . .he felt like he slept just that little bit better when Yuya was there with him. . .~
Yuya smiled as he watched Yuto walk back in and get under the covers opening an arm for Yuya to sleep by him. He got under the covers and snuggled closely to Yuto wrapping his arms around Yuto. He made sure Yuto was comfortable. He was glad to see that Yuto seemed to be having a better time sleeping. Coming to Standard was a good idea really especially with tonight.
Yuto enclosed Yuya in his embrace, nuzzling softly into his hair, smiling against his forehead, " Good night, Yuya." He whispered to him, shutting his eyes softly. Yuya meant so much to him and he was very happy that he'd be able to call him his own now. Of course, it meant he'd probably start getting more jealous, but luckily so far he hadn't had to witness anyone flirting with Yuya. Sawatari though or maybe that Mieru girl. . .he wondered if she was still into Yuya or if she'd given up. Well. . .he wasn't hers to take anyway, especially not anymore. Yuto wasn't about to give him up for anyone. Yuto didn't take too long to fall asleep, thankfully once again having a peaceful night that night too. His mind was too full of all the happy things right now to dream of anything, but Yuya.
Yuya smiled and nuzzled against Yuto, " Good night, Yuto." He said, " Oh hold on a second. Gotta change my alarm." He said leaning up and grabbing his duel disk before changing the alarm to a softer tone. Maybe this would be better. He set the tone before putting his duel disk back onto his desk and snuggled back into Yuto, " So warm. . .~ He said softly before falling asleep. He had a peaceful night as well. He was too happy right now.
