Mokuba's First Love

Chapter 8: Mai and Jounouchi

"Can you believe it? An angel." Mai murmured.

"Right now, I'll believe anything." Jounouchi remarked. Mai smirked.

"True. Wanna go get some ice cream?" She asked him. He shrugged.

"Sure. Why not." He said, and the two went to the local ice cream parlor. After ordering and finishing their ice cream, the two decided to go to an amusement park. They rode on roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, played games... Jounouchi even won Mai a teddy bear! The last ride they decided to go on was the Tunnel of Love. The two got in, and rode through the mushy pinkness.

At the end of the ride, Jounouchi offered to walk Mai back to her house. She said she'd be fine, but he insisted. Seeing she wouldn't win this argument, Mai agreed and the two began the trek to her house.

"I had fun today." Mai said when they reached her doorstep. Jounouchi smiled.

"I did too." He replied. Mai blushed, and smiled shyly at him.

"We should do this again sometime." She said. Jounouchi nodded.

"Definitely." He replied. The two basked in silence a little longer, shifting and fidgeting.

"Would... would you like to come in? I might have some cake or something." Mai offered. Jounouchi smiled at her.

"I can't. I really should go soon, but maybe next time." Jounouchi said.

"Will there be a next time?" Mai asked. Jounouchi blinked, mildly shocked, but smiled.

"Of course! Next time we'll go watch a movie or something. You know; if you want to." He said. Mai smiled.

"Yeah. I'd like that." She told him. They were acting like a bunch of shy teenagers. Well, technically, Jounouchi was a teenager. "Is there a specific date?"

"Huh?"

"For the movie."

"Oh. Well... No. Just tell me if you want to go watch a movie sometime... anytime. I'll be glad to come with you." He said. Mai smiled.

"Okay." She replied.

They gazed into each other's eyes for a bit. 'This is driving me crazy!!' They both thought, and unable to take it any longer, their feelings burst.

"I love you!!" They both cried. They were both shocked, and looked at each other, before laughing.

As their laughter died down, the two moved closer to each other, shy smiles adorning their faces. Their lips met in a kiss, and no words were needed anymore.

A being floated high above them; emeralds falling and disappearing just like the golden dust. A single word was whispered into the night, but the two were too caught up in their kiss they didn't hear it.

"Congratulations you two."
