Here's one non-YGO pairing...Homura Akemi x Madoka Kaname from Puella Magi Madoka Magica!
The stars twinkled far away in the night sky, like snowflakes scattered across velvet. Homura stared up at them, watching her breath spiral up into the air.
"Homura-chan!"
She pulled out of her reverie, looking back down. She smiled, although she hid it in her scarf. Madoka moved forward very carefully in her skates, arms spread out wide to balance herself on the ice. She had the widest smile on her face, just like always. It felt like nothing in the world could dampen that smile - at least, not tonight.
"Homura-chan, look, I think I'm getting the hang of it!" Madoka said, pushing off.
She caught herself on a small divot in the ice, however, and wheeled her arms frantically. Homura zipped forward on her skates. She caught Madoka by the arm and steadied her.
"Ah, thank you Homura-chan!" Madoka said.
Just like always, the sound of her name in Madoka's voice sent a happy shiver through Homura's spine.
"You're just a little too tense," she said.
She slipped her gloved hands onto Madoka's shoulders, massaging gently.
"Don't be scared of falling. That's the key."
"I think you're more scared of me falling than I am, miss over-protective," Madoka teased.
Homura blushed a bit. With a laugh, Madoka slid her big pink mittens into Homura's hands.
"Come on, Homura-chan! Let's skate!"
Laughing as well, Homura gripped Madoka's hands back. With the smooth grace she was accustomed to, she started to skate slowly backwards, drawing Madoka along with her. Madoka giggled as they slid around in dancing circles, letting herself be pulled along by Homura's hands.
"It's so beautiful tonight," Madoka said. "I'm so happy I get to be here with you. This is really a lot of fun!"
Homura smiled, her heart fluttering happily.
"Watch this," she whispered.
She released one of Madoka's hands and held her palm down towards the ice, willing the magic from her ring down towards the frozen water. Madoka's sharp intake of breath was the only reward Homura needed for the use of the precious magic. The ice began to glow and ripple in pale blue and violet. The rays of light played across both girl's skin, as though water rippled across them. Madoka looked up into Homura's eyes, her pale pink eyes sparkling with awe.
"Oh, Homura," she breathed. "It's so beautiful."
Homura sighed with happiness.
"Not as beautiful as you," she teased.
Madoka slid across the ice into Homura's arms, sighing as she leaned her head into her shoulder.
"Thank you," she whispered.
Then she leaned up and brushed her lips against Homura's briefly.
The blush that grew profusely across Homura's cheeks was all it took to bring yet another, dazzling smile to Madoka's face.
It certainly was the most wonderful time of the year.
