A Shining Star For A Beautiful Rose

Here it is! The end of my three straight chapter series, as well as the end of the date. I believe this one's gonna be a sort of payment from me to you for waiting and possibly not eating my head for taking so long to upload. And now for something completely different...
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or any of it's characters. And i definetely don't want you to think that. If i did i wouldn't be writing this damn thing before every single F"#$%&? chapter.

As they separated from Jack and Carly, both Yusei and Akiza stayed silent, noticing their current situation. They were alone again and before Carly decided to use her wonderful timing to interrupt them, they were about to kiss. Really, all they needed was to move one more inch. Yusei was surprised he was able to stay as composed as he did during lunch. Akiza was surprised she was able to hide her disapointment for not kissing him as well as she did. If he was sad about it too, he was a better actor than her.

Seriously, what was i thinking? It was stupid thing to try.

Jack's gonna have a lot of explaining to do. Carly too. Damn it couldn't they have waited one more second. She actually wanted it. As Yusei finished this thought, Akiza spoke.

"Yusei?"

"Yeah?"

"Look. About before..." she took a moment to gather her thoughts. He was ready to hear her. He was ready to hear if she was just as mentally messed up about this as he was. He was ready for anything...

"We should just forget it ever happened"... except that. His heart broke then and there. Just shattered. By the look in her eyes she wasn't feeling better than him. She actually looked more heartbroken than he could ever be.

"I mean, my job's too irregular. I could be called at any hour or sent somewhere else and... if we started this, i wouldn't be able to stand the pain of loosing you..." she broke down. She couldn't keep it up, her façade, so she started crying on his shoulder, saying how sorry she was through sobs. She was expecting him to pull away, yell even. She wasn't ready for what he said though.

"I understand. I wouldn't be able to let you go either... C'mon, i'll take you home." He said this and ,for the first time, Akiza saw Yusei crying. It wasn't much. A single tear. But it was more than enough. That sight broke Akiza's heart beyond recognition. Tears don't belong in that face. She however, wiped her own tears and got in the car. He got in as well after recomposing himself, started the car and drove off. Both stayed silent through the whole trip, looking at anything but each other. That proved tougher than they thought.

-I'm cutting the scene her. Trust me, you'll thank me later-

They got to her home. He stopped the car, turned it off, got out and went to open her door for her (AN: Now that's something right there. Even heartbroken, he stays a gentleman.) She walked up the steps, not before thanking him for the lunch of course. As she was about to put the key in the lock he spoke.

"You know i was telling the truth, right?"

"About what?"

"I'd love you to much to be able to let you go." She turned her head and... was that a smile? Small as it was, Yusei noticed. She slid her key into the lock.

"Which is exactly why i won't let you go now."

"What?" She turned around fully. She wanted to hear this. Needed to hear this.

"I love you AKiza and i know now that you love me back just as much and i refuse to forget what happened earlier!"

"But Yusei..."

"I know there will be obstacles along the way, but we can get through them. For crying out loud, we've been through so much together, i think we can handle a relationship. In fact, you know what? I'm just gonna go for it."

"What are you..." She never got to finish her sentence. His lips stopped hers. She couldn't believe what was happening. He couldn't believe he actually grew a big enough a pair to do it. But it was happening. The kiss was soft, passionate and hopeful. They only pulled back when the need for air was absolutely necessary. They were both smiling their brightest smiles, blushing from the kiss (or maybe it was the lack of air, but who cares about details in a situation like this?) As soon as they were able to breathe properly, they kissed again. This time he didn't start it alone. She kissed him back just as sweetly.

"I won't let you get out of here until you say we'll give this a shot."

"Oh, i'm sorry, at what point didn't you understand my opinion on that? Was it the part where you caught me off guard? Maybe the part when i kissed you back. Here let me assure you of my position." She kissed him again. This time it was more energetic showing just how much fire she had inside her. She figured he got the message by the way he smirked into the kiss. They were together now, through the best or worse. They separated reluctantly, not really wanting to let go of each other (he was right). They knew they had time though, no need to rush things.

"See you tomorrow?"

"Definitely." He kissed her one last time. It took every fiber of his being to make it just a little bit longer than a peck on the lips. He got in his car,
waved, she blew him a kiss and waved back, watching as he drove off (AN: no need for the sunset right?). She finally got inside, smiling and without being able to hold it in anymore...

"MOM! I'm home!"

You hated me a little bit during this chapter didn't you? C'mon, no need to lie, i felt it from here. I'm guessing you feel all better now after finishing this one uh? I think you should consider these 3 chapters as one big episode. You don't need me to tell you what to do next, you know the drill. Just, you know, please do it. I'll give you a kuribon if you do it (not really.) And of course, because it seems to have stuck up until now...

THANKS FOR READING! :D
