"Speech"

[A/N]
The time had arrived. Anzu was ready, she was dressed up and ready to show Seto. She had gotten ready in a different room; she crept up to his door and pushed it open. He was nearly done, he was looking at a red silk tie.
"Ooh, is Seto-kun gonna wear a tie to match my dress" Anzu giggled.
Seto turned round and his jaw dropped, everything from the way her heels lengthened her already mile long legs to the roses up her waist matching the little flowers pined in her hair.
"Beautiful as ever I see," he kissed her softly. "I guess black shirt, red tie was a good idea."
The teens walked up to the school, where they walked in there was a big arch way where the couples or groups of friends could get their photos taken. The photographer was just the head of the photography club; he was very shocked to see Seto pull Anzu close to him by her waist and her rest on his chest. The guys came over and forced Seto into a group photo with all of them, everyone was getting more and more suspicious of the Seto-Anzu situation, they thought they knew they were together but no one was 100%. Anzu and the band boys went into the back room along with the council president and the teachers were back there, all the others piled into the assembly hall and took their seats.
The student council president and the head teacher gave a big speech saying about how this meant their final year was starting and then they off in the big world or they need to go to university. Some of the teachers gave mini speeches while the band set up and Anzu stretched. She had done the routine in a dress and high heels to get used to the extra weight but not this dress, it was a little tighter fitted than the other dresses but she was determined to not let it change anything. The time had come and the boys were setting their corner of the stage up. The podium was removed and the head master introduced them all.
There was going to be a song sung by the schools choir, accompanied by the band and then Anzu's dance. The song was sung and applause had been herd, it was her time. The band started to play slowly as Anzu floated to centre stage. She twirled and glided across the stage, the audience was in awe, everyone was always stunned to see her dance, she was an angle. The music started to build; it got louder and grew to a climax that even Anzu wasn't expecting.
She had landed at one edge of the stage just as Seto emerged from the other curtain, he looked over to Anzu and gave her a wink. Good thing they both thought alike or it could have ruined the show. She ran over to him and leapt into the air, he grabbed her round the waist and lifted her high above his head and spun to centre stage, the music had hit its high point as he brought her down to his chest still turning and turning. The two of them finished the song with a mix of lifts and twirls in a dramatic fashion. They stood there panting and staring into each other's eyes, the audience went wild. They prised themselves away from each other and took a bow and rushed off stage. The head master said a few more words before allowing them all to enter the hall. Anzu grabbed Seto and pulled him to the very back of the area off stage.
"Oh my god, Seto-kun, what possessed you to do that?" Anzu's expression wasn't exactly angry but shocked.
"What? Didn't you enjoy dancing with me in front of everyone? Wasn't I good enough?" For the first time he looked at her as if for approval, this wasn't like him. Was he actually worried he wasn't good enough for Anzu?
"Seto-kun…" She pulled him in close and kissed him. "It was amazing, as expected of you. I was just a little surprised. Will you still be up for dancing with me tonight though?"
"Of coursed" he smiled as the two of them left the room.
They walked in and had the whole room cheered. Anzu got a chance to look around at the faces staring at her. The girls huddled in the corner, whispering, plotting. They just seemed to hate her. All the guys were eyeing her up. This was normal for her, she never understood why but it had always happened. And then there were her friends. Goofing off in the corner, play fighting, talking cards. All the couples had separated into friend groups and probably wouldn't come together again until the music started. Seto and Anzu followed suit. Seto went to get drinks while she when over to the guys.
"Anzu-chan," yugi whispered. "Are you and Seto-kun being open now or something?"
"Well, to be honest, I don't know, that dance wasn't planned, he just busted on back there."
"Kaiba has always liked to put on a show…"
The conversation ended as Seto came up to them with a drink for Anzu. There was a site that not many people were used to; Seto had a big smile on his face. The music began and groups of teens started dancing. It was a very odd site to watch, it was clear that the men of this year group weren't the best dancers. Anzu found herself being pulled out onto the dance floor by Jonouchi and Honda; she spent more time in stiches at her friends dancing than actually dancing with them. Yugi and Seto stood by the wall and watched.
"So," Yugi began. "Is the secret out or?"
"I think I may have to let it out, to many boys are trying it on. Looking is one thing but as her mother once said to me 'you shouldn't touch what's not yours."
Yugi gave him a knowing smile and watched him walk off. He cut a guy's dance with Anzu short and stepped in; she draped her arms around his shoulders. A slow song came on, everyone paired off, and even Jonouchi danced with Honda, lonely boys. All the girls that hadn't come with dates, or had come with crappy ones were sat there glaring at the happy couple, they didn't care though, they barely even noticed.
"Se-to-kun" She whispered. "What are you thinking right now?"
He leaned in close, they were less than an inch away from each other, "thinking about how soft your lips look"
Anzu went a deep shade of red; she hated how he could affect her so easily. The world seemed to stop as Seto moved in on Anzu. A load gasp from a fan girl caught the rest of the room's attention, everyone watched in awe as the couple sheared what seemed like a never ending trail of small tender kisses. While the room was in shock there was Yugi and Honda with massive grins on their faces, even Jonouchi had a little bit of a smirk. The kisses ended and Anzu hid her face in his chest, Seto took the chance to see how red he could make her cheeks.
"Alright, now it seems I have caught the attention of every male in here I will say this once and once only. Many of you boys in here stair at her, that's fine. Some of you boys try to touch her. That's not happening. Remember this, Anzu Mazaki is mine." He lifted her head up to look at him "Anzu-chan, I love you."
She couldn't help it, tears started to form. Seto laughed and cupped her face, kissing her nose softly. "I love you too Seto-kun." She jumped up and kissed him, tears streaming down her face. Some girls had to leave the room by this point and were crying uncontrollably in the bath room. After some cheering the music started up again and everyone was dancing.
The night was nearly over when one of the teachers came out to the mic. "Hello students, you all know it's that time of night, to crown the king and queen."
Everyone went silent, the teacher red out the name of the king, as expected it was just one of the popular boys but that didn't matter, the one everyone cared about was who got the queen.
"Alright, this is what you've all been waiting for, this year's Queen!" the room started cheering. "Okay, drum roll please. And the winner is…. Miss Anzu Mazaki!" everyone clapped and cheered as she was brought forward. She was crowned and stood next to the king as he made his speech, a speech no one expected.
"Alright everyone, normally I would so excited to be king but I think we all know who should be king. He normally isn't here so that must be the only reason I won in the first place. Kaiba-san, we all saw something we didn't expect tonight, to be honest, there were some people in this room who never expected you to be here, let alone admitted that you cared for someone like that. So I think you really deserve this, not only because of that but because you really are Anzu-chan's king."
The crown was dumped on his head as he was pulled up to stand by Anzu. The photographer came to them and got a picture of the young lovers cuddled up; the night couldn't have ended any more perfectly. The teens all started leaving and separating, except for the lucky Anzu-Seto couple. They got into the back of Seto's limo and the drive home started. There was a screen separating them from the driver. Seto used this as an opportunity to do what he'd wanted to do all night, he pulled her onto his lap, held her firmly round the waist and kissed her passionately. Their tongues danced more than they did. When they got back to the mansion Seto picked her up bridal style and carried her up to the bed room. Doors were slammed and nothing more was herd from the young lovers for the night.
The final week of school when quickly, everyone seemed to know of the Seto-Anzu love affair, the shock was that the newspapers hadn't heard of it yet. This didn't matter. All that mattered was that Christmas was soon. Seto's first Christmas with Anzu, Anzu's first without her father. No matter what, it was going to be the best he'd ever had.
