Chapter 11!

Sorry for the longer wait. I had finals this week and needed time to study. I also had work four straight days, which made my days either studying or working.

Bentstu: Your predictions will probably happen next Chapter. Sorry for the wait!

As Luna stayed downstairs, Yusei walked up to her. "I'll go talk to him," he said. Luna's face stayed firm and she put her arm out. "No. I'll go talk to him." Yusei watched as Luna then walked to the stairs and then up them. Everyone watched as she went to the door. "Dexter? Dexter?" she called out to him. When there was no response, Luna opened the wood door.

Inside, Dexter had his head on the pillow, and he was facing away from the door. How could he have been so selfish? He took her first kiss. He didn't kiss her on the cheek or give her a hug. He gave her a full on kiss on the lips. Why didn't he just do the gentlemen way and give her a simple hug. His emotions and urges had gotten the best of him and now Luna was probably upset about what he did.

"Dexter?" Luna called out to him. "Go away," he replied, even though he didn't want her to, "I know what I did was wrong." Luna closed the door behind her and walked up to the bed. "Dexter. Please don't cry. I'm not upset." Dexter sniffled. He still felt terrible. "You don't have to do that Luna. I know you're just saying that to make me feel better." Luna shook her head. "No Dexter. I'm not doing that. Please just sit up and look at me." Dexter slowly pushed himself off of the bed. He turned and looked at her, looking gloomy and sad.

Luna smiled at him. "Dexter. I know you think that you did something terrible, but you didn't." She reached across her lap and held his left hand. "What you did showed just how thankful you are. You don't have to be upset Dexter, because your message got through." Dexter wiped his nose with his free hand. "But...I stole your first kiss from you." Luna smiled. "You didn't steal it. You really meant it, because it shows that you like me." Dexter shook his head.

"I don't deserve someone as wonderful as you." Luna was both touched and saddened by his words. "You think I'm wonderful?" Dexter nodded shyly. "Of course. I mean, you're so thoughtful of me, your smile is gorgeous, and your eyes are like two shining suns. I don't deserve someone as great as that." Luna was again touched and saddened. "But those are qualities any girl could have Dexter, not just me." Dexter shook his head. "No they're not! You're always thinking about others and you've taken me places and paid for everything. I doubt there is another girl in the world who is as generous as you." Luna blushed. The compliments just kept on coming. "You've done so much for me Luna. You've shown so much care and kindness, that I could never return it back to you. That's why I shouldn't have stolen your first kiss." Luna shook her head. "You didn't steal my first kiss Dexter. You willingly gave me your first kiss." Dexter shook his head.

"No. I stole your first kiss and I can never take it back. I was shellfish and irresponsible. If you wanted to slap me like they do on TV shows and movies, then I'll understand." Luna gasped. "Dexter. First, I would never slap you. I would never slap anyone. Yusei and Akiza taught me that slapping someone is not okay. Second, what if we agreed to give me my first kiss back?" Dexter stared at her. "How?" Luna shrugged.

"Just say that you give me my first kiss back." Dexter sighed. "All right. I give you your first kiss back." Luna smiled. "Good. And now I can still give my first kiss to someone special." Dexter nodded. "Great. I hope you find someone special to give it to." Luna still smiled. "Dexter, look at me." Dexter turned to her. Luna quickly leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the lips. Dexter's eyes widened in shock, as Luna had her eyes closed the whole time. Dexter quickly tried to closed the eye and enjoy the moment. After a few of them, Luna leaned back.

"Luna, why did you kiss me?" Luna giggled. "Because I like you silly." Dexter almost smiled. "R...really?" Luna nodded and Dexter smiled. "Luna." Luna smiled and they stayed quiet as Luna and Dexter let their legs dangle over the side of the bed. "I like you too," Dexter said as he took her hand. Luna looked down and then back up at him. They leaned forward and, finally, they kissed each other together at the same time. "Come on," Luna said as she took her hand, "Lets go tell everyone." Dexter was baffled.

"What?" he asked and Luna turned to him. "Lets tell everyone that we're dating." Dexter was confused. He never thought a girl would tell him that in his life. "We are?" Luna held back her laughter. "Yes. I'm your girlfriend and you're my boyfriend." Dexter smiled. "Okay. You're my girlfriend and I'm you boyfriend." Luna nodded. "Exactly." They went downstairs, hand-in-hand, and everyone watched when they came to the bottom of the steps.

"Look...everyone. I have an announcement. Dexter and I..." Luna looked at him and he looked at her. "Are official boyfriend and girlfriend." Everyone else cheered and went up to them. Yusei, Akiza, and Leo all had their suspicions, but they were all correct. Luna and Dexter liked each other and they both were going to go far together. They all congratulated them and then Akiza made a suggestion. "Lets have pizza!" They all cheered and they went to decide on what to order.

The next morning, it was a completely different feel for Dexter and Yusei. Yusei got up and was stunned by the fact that he wasn't having to wake up with shouting and arguing. Instead, it was quiet for a change. He decided to lay back in bed and enjoy the peace and quiet. Finally, Yusei decided that he couldn't stay in bed all day and got up. When he did, Akiza was sitting at the breakfast table, eating cereal. "Hey Akiza." Akiza smiled, as it had been this way for the first few days Yusei was there.

As Yusei sat down and ate, with Akiza across from him, Akiza remembered something. "Yusei. Have I given you a full tour of the house yet?" Yusei shrugged. "No, but that's okay," he said with a smile. "I'll find my way around." Akiza rolled her eyes. "Yusei. We've been at the twins' apartment the past few days and you didn't get a chance to really explore the house. Heck, you've spent your time in four main places: living room, dining room, your room, and the bathroom. The only other place you know is where my room is."

"Hey. I enjoy the valuable time I sit on the toilet," Yusei responded back. Akiza just chuckled. "After breakfast, I'll show you the house." Yusei sighed and decided that, once Akiza put her mind to it, nothing was going to stop her.

As soon as Yusei put his breakfast bowl into the sink, Akiza grabbed him by the hand, and started walking him to the entrance. "All right," she started, "This is the entryway." Yusei rolled his eyes. "No Akiza. It's the entrance to my bedroom." Akiza frowned. "Keep that up and it might be the entrance to your bedroom outside." Yusei quickly stopped laughing and let her keep going.

Akiza then showed him the living room and kitchen, both places he had been before. Akiza then took him upstairs to the bathroom and then to a second bathroom. As Yusei looked into the shower/bathtub, he noticed four towels hanging there, but he hadn't used this bathroom to clean himself. "Akiza, why are there four towels?" he asked. Akiza blushed slightly. "Um..two of them are for me," she replied. Yusei didn't get it. "Why do you need two of them?" he asked. Akiza's face turned even redder and she turned around.

"Because when my entire body needs to be covered, I need two towels to help with my chest. All right?" she shouted. Yusei gasped and Akiza looked down. "I'm...I'm sorry for shouting." Yusei smiled. "It's okay Akiza. I understand the two towels and it's okay. I'm proud that you're taking the time to cover up your entire body." Akiza smiled a little bit. "Thank you Yusei." Yusei smiled and took her hand. "Come on. There's still a few places you haven't shown me." Akiza was surprised that Yusei was so happy to keep going on the tour, even with it starting out as a joke to him.

Akiza then showed him to her parents bedroom and then the workout room. "I know we've already said this before," Akiza noted, "But I don't think you need to do anything physical to make yourself more attractive to me." Yusei smiled. "That's just fine with me," he replied, "Besides, I've got my eye on that treadmill and stair climber. Of course, it'd be great if you showed me how to use them, because I've never been on one and want to be safe." Akiza was grateful that Yusei was putting safety first and also not worried about his body image. They quickly walked to another room and Yusei smiled when he saw that it was a room with lots of old video games.

"Akiza, why is this here?" Akiza shrugged. "My Dad has a secret collection of video games." Yusei was stunned. "Wow! That's actually kind of cool. Would he ever let me play?" Akiza bit her lip. "Maybe," she replied as she wrapped her arms around him, "Of course, we'll have to agree to his agreement first." Yusei blushed, but nodded firmly. "All right. I understand." Akiza giggled at Yusei's sudden seriousness.

Back at the twins, Dexter was getting up, when he heard the sound of footsteps going on downstairs. When he got there, Luna and Leo were almost ready. "Okay. Dexter's going to..." Luna turned around. "Hey Dexter! Perfect timing." Dexter stared blankly at her. "What's going on?" Luna led him over to a seat and Leo set a stack of blueberry pancakes in front of him. "Here you go Dexter! Fresh off the griddle!" Dexter looked up at them. "You guys...you didn't have to do this for me. The room was already enough." Luna shook her head. "Think of it as a welcoming breakfast." Dexter got up. "Thanks you guys."

He went and hugged Leo and was about to kiss Luna, but he gave her a hug instead. He quick glanced at Leo. "Leo you're not upset that I'm dating your sister are you?" Leo shook his head. He went over and put both arms, one each, on their shoulders. "Are you kidding? My best friend with my sister? I couldn't be happier!" Dexter smiled and manged a laugh.

Later, the twins decided to show him around the complex. Dexter had only passed by the rooms and not really noticed them before. There was a downstairs pool and workout area, but neither really caught his eye. They then had a more relaxing area, with books, but also a massage area. Dexter wasn't afraid to admit that the last one sound like a good idea.

"Do you want to sign up for a appointment?" Luna asked. Dexter quickly shook his head. "Um...no. You don't have to do that." Luna giggled. "Don't worry about it Dexter. They went up to a woman at a desk. "Excuse me, but can we schedule a appointment for a massage?" The woman nodded and started looking through the list of people who lived there. Dexter was nervous, as he hadn't registered himself or anything like that. The woman smiled. "Okay Dexter. I can set you up." Dexter stunned as a phone rang. "Excuse me," the woman said and went to answer it.

Dexter quickly turned to Leo and Luna. "When was I registered into living here?" he asked. Luna smiled. "We applied for that a while ago," she replied, "Especially since we didn't want you to have to worry about anything when you moved here." Dexter blushed. "Well...thanks you guys." The woman got finished with the call and then they scheduled a appointment for Dexter. When they were done, they headed back upstairs.

"Thanks you guys. I've always wanted a massage." The twins giggled and were happy that Dexter could enjoy the massage in a couple of days.

As Akiza and Yusei got settled for a quiet day at home, Akiza decided to go online while Yusei watched TV. Everything seemed really quiet, until Akiza suddenly heard a loud sound from the sofa. She turned to Yusei. "Did you just fart?" she asked. Yusei turned to her. "Yeah. So what?" he asked. Akiza rolled her eyes. "At least say excuse me when you do that." Yusei frowned. "When Jack, Crow, and I did were at home, we passed gas all the time, and no one said excuse me. Heck, we even had farting contests." Akiza stared at him.

"Farting contests?" Yusei nodded. "Yeah. We'd get a can of beans for dinner and we'd go through the entire can by the time supper was over. We then keep track of who had the loudest fart and, whoever won, didn't have to do the dishes for a few days. One time, my pants were so bad that I could smell some old farts on it at the end of the night." Akiza just stared at him as he lifted his right leg and let another one rip. Akiza sighed.

"Well...Jack and Crow are gone, so no farting contests," Akiza replied, "Just say excuse me. That's all I ask." Yusei nodded and apologized. They both went back to doing what they were doing and Akiza couldn't help, but wonder why Yusei was so different now that they were living together. Maybe it was due to the fact that she didn't see him for an entire day before, just a little part of it.

Later, at dinner, Akiza and Yusei enjoyed some sloppy joes. Sure enough, Yusei was as gassy as ever and he let out a huge burp. "No belching contests either," Akiza replied as she didn't want to get into another gas disagreement. Still, the night was mostly quiet as Akiza and Yusei decided to watch some TV together. Akiza was surprised that Yusei really wanted to watch a sporting event, but she didn't see it as unusual as she would have a few months ago. Yusei was into a lot of other things besides Turbo Dueling. They watched the event and Akiza decided to go to bed when it was over with. As Akiza was about to go into her room, Yusei raced up to her.

"Akiza, are you going to bed?" he asked. Akiza nodded. "Yeah." Yusei smiled. "Well...here." He leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the lips. He smiled as Akiza was a little stunned. "A goodnight kiss," he said happily. Akiza smiled. "Well thanks Yusei. I'd like to do that more often." Yusei nodded. "Well...okay," he replied and gave her another kiss. Akiza was going to push further, but decided it was best not to. "Good night Yusei." Yusei nodded. "Good night."

The next day was when everyone was suppose to meet up for Martha's story. Still, Dexter wanted to stay back and behind. However, Luna wasn't having any of that and pulled him into the car. Dexter was embarrassed that Luna had to do it, but in a way, it showed just how strong nature Luna was that she could stick up for herself. When they got there, they were all seated around Martha. Jack and Crow were not there, so it was different with just the five of them. However, Martha was not concerned.

"Okay, these next couple of Chapters mainly involve your characters, so you don't have to worry about Jack and Crow's characters taking the spotlight. Everyone smiled as she started."

With Jackka and Crowka gone, it left the rest of the Signers and Dexterka all alone. Still, they were happier than before, as they could now see each other everyday. The four Signers got together and did something almost everyday. However, Dexterka was really uncomfortable around them and felt like a fifth wheel. As he declined an invite, for the fifth straight day, Lunaka decided that she would stay behind as well. Still, Dexterka felt guilty and pleaded with her to go with everyone else. Still, Lunaka wasn't going to go with it. She wanted to see what Dexterka did when he wasn't with them. To her surprise, he didn't really do much and it made her feel bad that he was doing nothing, when he could have done something fun with Yuseika, Akizaka, and the twins.

"Dexterka, don't you want to go with us? We'll go out to the village market and buy food. It's a lot of fun." Dexterka shook his head. "Nah. That's okay." Luna frowned and grabbed him by the wrist. "Come on. Lets go." Dexterka was stunned as she pulled him out of the hut and into the street. They passed two security guards that guarded the most biggest and expensive huts.

Up ahead, Leoka was with Yuseika and Akizaka, getting grossed out by their constant displays of affection. 'If only Lunaka and Dexterka were here.' Suddenly, he heard a female voice. "You guys! Wait up!" The three of them stopped and saw Lunaka dragging Dexterka by the wrist. Finally, they made their way up to them and Dextera could finally stand up right. "Have you guys bought anything yet?" Yuseika shook his head. "Nope we were just going to get started," Yuseika replied, "So lets go."

As they walked around, there were a lot of things that were for sale. Vegetables, meat, and many different spices. They had samples of food and some people cooking to make those samples. They went and tried a lot of them out and ones where they all agreed on enjoying, they bought a bunch of. As they were all having fun, everyone noticed that Dexterka seemed a lot more talkative and happy. When they got done, everyone enjoyed their time out and they all carried cloth bags full of stuff.

"That was a good day," Yuseika noted as they all walked into the setting sun. "And who was the one who took the most samples?" Leoka asked as he ruffled Dexterka's hair. Dexterka laughed. "Yeah. I did have fun," he commented. Lunaka nodded. "See? Lets do this more often!" Akizaka agreed. "Lets do this every week on this day." It was the day which was our Saturday.

As Akizaka prepared the meal for that night, she noticed that Yuseika seemed more interested in eating the food before it got to the table. "Yuseika, do you really have to be so impatient?" she asked. Yuseika sighed. "Yeah, but I want to eat soon. I'm starving." Akizaka sighed too. "If you help me, then the faster the food will get from here to your stomach." Yuseika smiled and gave her a kiss. "All right. What do you want me to do?"

Soon, the food was all prepared and they started to dig in. Akizaka watched as Yuseika started plowing through his food like a speeding car. "Yuseika, slow down! You don't want to get an upset stomach." Yuseika nodded and tried to slow down. Akizaka looked on and thought, 'Why haven't I noticed these flaws before?' Akizaka didn't get it. She had been at Yuseika's dozens of times and she had never seen Yuseika go through his food this quickly. Was it because they were living together that he now saw it as a green light to not be so gentleman like? After he was done eating, Yuseika went over and gave Akizaka a kiss, thanking her for the meal. Akizaka smiled as he put his clay dish away, before coming back to give Akizaka more love and affection.

'Well, at least some things don't change,' Akizaka thought.

Later, Akizaka was sitting around a small fire in the hut. Her parents were going to be gone for a couple of days, but that still kept Akizaka and Yuseika on edge. They wanted to be affectionate with one another, but they didn't want to get into trouble. So, they held back and kept their affection to hugs and kisses. Still, Akizaka noticed more things about Yuseika that she didn't notice before. He wasn't afraid to let out wind from his mouth or behind...

Akiza turned to Yusei and gave him a look. Where had this happened before? Yusei just tried to smile and make her feel better. Akiza just gave him a nudge and a wink as well. Still, she could see where Akizaka was coming from. Yusei was different now that they had moved in. She had discovered Yusei did have little quirks and things that she never knew before. It sure was different, but it was definitely intriguing.

Yuseika also had many quirks that Akizaka didn't know about. For example, Yuseika snored when he slept and it caused Akizaka to wake up in the middle of the night a couple of times. However, the sounds he made almost caused her to laugh heuristically. Yuseika also sang while bathing and he would sometimes dance for no reason. But, it was not only Yuseika who had quirks, but also Akizaka. For example, Akizaka liked to eat breakfast at about the same time every morning and then spend a good amount of time trying to look beautiful.

Not only was Akizaka big on her breakfast, but she was also very consistent at making sure hr big bras were in good shape. Yuseika had to take her bras to the sewers a few times a week. When Yuseika wondered what size they were, as they were larger than everyone else in the village, he found that Akizaka had cut the tags off. He sighed, but did a kick out of the fact that he got to carry Akizaka's undergarments.

Finally, one night, Akizaka and Yuseika decided just to let it out in the open. Yuseika asked if they were going to go over to the twins' hut, but Akizaka shook her head. "We have to talk," she replied. Yuseika stayed quiet and once the dishes were cleaned, Akizaka brought him to a corner of the hut. When Yuseika asked what she wanted to talk about Akizaka sighed. "I just want to get out all of our little quirks and things that we don't know about each other. Like the fact that you're not ashamed to let gas out of your butt." Yuseika looked away and decided that it probably was best to talk about it.

So, they did. They told them all about the little things that they know they do and might cause the other to be uncomfortable. When they were done, they knew and learned a lot. However, it was for the better and they both shared a kiss on the lips. "Come on. I'd better put more wood on the fire," Yuseika noted. As he did, there was a loud noise from his behind. Akizaka gasped and Yuseika turned around.

"Excuse me," he said. Akizaka smiled and nodded at him. When he got back, Akizaka gave him a good make out session, since he had learned his lesson.

As Martha closed the book, Leo turned to Yusei. "He's exactly like you Yusei." Yusei shook his head. "No he's not. I don't snore or do as much weird stuff as him." Martha laughed. "I don't know about that Yusei. You can be pretty odd sometimes when no one else is around." Yusei stared at her. "How could you see me do anything if no one is around?" Martha smiled and Yusei instantly knew he shouldn't have asked that.

"Well, there have been a few times I have caught you singing to yourself really loudly." Yusei blushed and quickly looked away. "Is he good?" Leo asked. Martha laughed. "Um...well...not...really." Leo and Luna laughed. "I could totally see Yusei being a bad singer." Yusei quickly turned to face them. "Oh yeah?" he asked playfully, "What about you Leo?" Leo smiled. "I'm a great singer. In fact I'll prove it."

Leo started singing one of the big songs of the day, but he started forgetting the words. Finally, as the whole room laughed at him, Leo sighed, and decided that he wasn't that good of a singer.

As they drove home, Luna turned to Dexter, and asked him if there was anything that made him weird. "Well...a lot of things," he replied, not wanting to go into details. Luna smiled. "Don't worry Dexter. Just be yourself. We won't judge you." Dexter bit his lip. "Okay," he replied and then instantly put an arm around Luna. Luna smiled, but Dexter was still nervous. "You're okay with this aren't you?" he asked. Luna smiled. "Of course," she replied and put an arm around him. From the front seat, Yusei and Akiza smiled. Yusei stopped at a stoplight and they each touched hands, knowing the love of affection was in all four of their hearts.

Later that night, it was time to go to sleep. Dexter thought that everyone was in bed. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling, still wearing his glasses. Suddenly, the door opened, and it was Luna that came in. "Luna, what are you doing here?" he asked. Luna walked up to the bed. "I just wanted to check and make sure you're all right." She tucked him in a little bit. "Are you comfortable? Did you have a good day?" Dexter nodded and Luna smiled as Dexter looked at her. "Is there anything else you needed?" Luna blushed lightly, so light that Dexter couldn't see it in the dark.

"Well...do you want a kiss goodnight?" Dexter gasped and felt his cheeks heating up. "I never have gotten a kiss goodnight before." Luna was stunned. "Never?" Luna asked. "Never." Luna frowned. "Well...I'm going to be sure to make sure that changes." She walked up and cupped Dexter's head. She then leaned forward and kissed his forehead. When she leaned back, she could see Dexter's blush through the dark. "Um...thank you Luna." Luna giggled.

"You're welcome," she replied, "If you wanted, I could do this for you every night." Dexter was now even more nervous, but he remembered that Luna told him to be himself. "I...I'd like that," he replied and Luna went up and hugged him. "Okay," she replied happily and let him go. Dexter reached out and just grazed her hand. "Wait!" he replied and Luna stopped. She turned around and Dexter got out of bed. He wrapped her in a hug and smiled. "Thanks Luna." He leaned back and the two smiled at one another. "Well...good night Dexter." Dexter nodded "Good night Luna."

Luna headed for the door and Dexter went into bed. They both looked at one another and smiled. They then finished their tasks, with Luna shutting the door, and Dexter tucking himself in. 'A kiss goodnight every night,' Dexter thought happily to himself.

A couple of mornings later, Akiza sighed as she woke up. The Yusei she thought she was moving in with was very different than the one she thought she knew. She had found Yusei's room to have clothes on the floor, he played his music too loud, and a few other things that Akiza was finding annoying. As she looked up, she could hear Yusei taking a shower. She decided that it was about time to get moving and got out of bed. As she walked by, she could hear Yusei singing Yankee Doodle Dandy very loudly.

Except he didn't know most of the words.

"Some...thing something something...some...thing...some...thing something something something...something something something something Uncle Sam. Born on the fourth of July." Akiza sighed as he then repeated the song again, still with almost no words. "Some...thing something something..." Akiza growled and shouted. "Yusei, if you don't know the words, then don't sing it!" Yusei couldn't hear her and Akiza instantly remembered Martha's book. She then got an idea.

Later, as Yusei had showered and shaved, he was met with Akiza at the door. He jumped at seeing her. "Hey Akiza. What's up?" She took his wrist and pulled him downstairs. "Come on," she replied, "We have to talk." Yusei went and sat down at the kitchen table, before Akiza pushed a bowl of hot oatmeal in front of him. "Hey! Oatmeal!" he said excitedly and dived right in. Akiza sat down with him. "So what are we talking about?" Akiza smiled.

"We're going to talk about all of your little...ah hem...quirks." Yusei stared at her. "We've been friends for years Akiza. Don't you know most them by now?" Akiza closed her eyes. "I thought so, but then we started living together and I realized how many more of them there are." Yusei was confused. "What ones are there?" he asked and Akiza started listing them off. By the time she was done, Yusei had finished the bowl of oatmeal.

"And lastly, would it kill you to tell Jack to stop calling and talking about the bedroom? Stand up to him!" Yusei sighed. "Look Akiza..." He got up and wrapped her in a hug. "Listen, I knew when we moved in, there were going to be things that were different about me. Things that you didn't know before. And...I'm sorry if they are a little odd or annoying, but I really want you to be able to tolerate living with me. Because...I really like you and want you to be happy." Akiza looked down, starting to feel guilty.

"Well...I'm sorry about calling you out. I have my own faults myself. I shouldn't have judged you." Yusei smiled. "It's okay Akiza. I forgive you." He leaned forward and they shared a kiss. When they leaned back, they both smiled. "And...I'll try not be so weird," Yusei added. Akiza giggled. "Don't worry Yusei. I like it when you act kind of silly." Yusei chuckled and they shared another kiss. This time, it was a bit deeper, and only a sign of things to come.

A/N: Sorry for the wait and next time, some affectionate things are going to happen! ;)
