Right. I think we should refocus on the pair you came to see in the first place. We haven't seen what they're up to in a while, so why not right? Of course this is still a fanfic so...

As she got on the cab and told the driver where to go,she couldn't help but sigh. The day had been tiresome and right now she needed to go home and just spend the rest of the night with Yusei.

Yusei. He had changed so much in her life in so little time 8 years ago. Now she still couldn't believe he was a part of her life. She wasn't ashamed to admit he was a part without which she couldn't see herself living (AN: metaphorically). It'd only been 8 months since they started dating and still she could tell that her love for him wouldn't change. She didn't believe in the whole 'soul-mate' thing, but if she did than Yusei would be hers. He was her shining star. Good God what is wrong with me?

"We've arrived." She was interrupted out of her thoughts by the cabbie. She went to her purse, taking the money required to pay the man.

"Thank you." She stepped out of the cab, watching it drive away. She turned around, moved to the apartment building and got inside.

-INSIDE THE APARTMENT-

Yusei was finished with setting the table. Him and Akiza hadn't had some time for themselves for the past weeks so he decided to do something for her. He knew how to cook more than just scrambled eggs but for the currently cooked recipe he actually went to Martha's. He did a codfish with boiled potatoes and pulled out a bottle of fine wine.

He'd also placed a single red rose in the center of the table. It was a simple yet incredibly meaningful gesture for the both of them. She was his beautiful rose. He smiled. Oh man. This woman is killing me (AN: again metaphorically). A knock on the door pulled him away from his thoughts of how Akiza had brought out the romantic in him.

"Yusei! It's me."

"Coming."

-ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE APARTMENT-

She saw the door swing open, revealing Yusei behind it. She stepped in, dropping her purse in the table and kissing him deeply.

"Hey."

"Hey." They kissed again. Then she smelled... whatever was that delicious smell.

"Cooking something?"

"Done, actually. Come on." Once she stepped inside the dining room/living room, she brought her hands up to her mouth in awe. Again Yusei had surprised her with how incredibly romantic he could be. Her sight traveled the room, finishing on the set table with a... red rose in the center. She smiled brightly and adoringly turning to Yusei who had enveloped her in his arm.

"So? What do you think?" She kissed him, taking his breath away from him.

"I think you're the most caring, sweetest man I've ever met. This looks beautiful." He gave her a small tug towards the table.

"Just wait 'till you get a taste." He pulled the chair out for her. She accepted his kindness sitting down. He served dinner for the both and they dined in each others company, talking about everything from work to their long-gone-recently-returned friends (AN: This is what I call hyfen madness!).

In the end they got up, he put the dishes in the washer while she went to the bedroom getting into more confortable clothes. They'd started keeping spares for the other in each other's place.

"Do you want to watch a movie or something?"

"Sure. There must be something on." Yusei went to the TV, searching through the channels for something to watch. Eventually he stopped when he saw the name of a comedy. It was about to start so he went to call Akiza.

"I'm back." No need for that. She had dresssed in her pijama combo: knee-high yoga pants, a tank top and ankle-high socks. He sat down at one edge of the sofa, and she laid down in the remaining space, setting her head in his lap.

"Confortable?" She nodded in confirmation just as the initial credits were rolling.

-AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER-

The ending credits were just finishing. They both enjoyed the movie, even if they enjoyed each other's company more. Now the owner of the hair Yusei was smoothing was asleep. Absolutely, beautifully asleep. He got up carefully, trying his best not to wake her up. He turned off the TV and picked her up bridal style, silently thinking he could get used to doing this every night.

He walked in the direction of the bedroom, laying Akiza down in the bed. He moved to the other side, laying down and pulling her close to him. He closed his eyes. 5 seconds later he heard...

"Love you." ... in a groggy sleep-ridden voice. He adored this version of Akiza. Stripped of her work-serious side and being nothing more than herself.

"Love you too. Goodnight Akiza." He kissed her forehead. And finally closed his eyes again, both drifting off into a blissful night of sleep.

(Look for capital letters where they shouldn't be for the secret message. The actual message is important too.)
