Luau of Love
chapter 2
by Petit Angel Girl
Soon the three were at the hotel and Tèa walked up, calmly unlocking her room door. "Well, this is my stop. Thanks for your help back there. That was really embarrassing..."
"Don't worry about it." Yugi chuckled. "These things can happen to anybody."
"Yeah, you're right. Still, I feel as though I should repay you somehow..."
"That's really not necessary." Yami inquired politely.
"Nonsense. ...Oh, hey! Why not join me and my family for the luau tonight? Say...7 o'clock?"
"Luau?"
"That'd be great! I hear those festivals are a lot of fun." Yugi added.
She giggled. "Yeah, same here! And you can meet my family, too. My older brother, Joshua, is a big fan of yours."
"In that case, we'd be honored to come."
"Great! I'll see you tonight." She smiled at them both before winking at Yami and heading inside, the door closing softly behind her.
Later that evening...
Yami stood at the balcony's edge, overlooking the ocean in thought as a cool breeze blew through, whipping his bangs around face. But he didn't mind that or the cool air. There was only one thing on his mind. Or rather...one person...
"You alright, Yami?" Yugi's voice broke the silence and Yami looked over his shoulder as his twin joined him, resting his arms on the railing. "You've been awfully quiet this evening."
"I don't know, Yugi...Ever since we met her there, I've been feeling...strange. Everytime I look at her, my heart races, my palms sweat, my mouth goes dry...I can't get her off my mind..."
"Sounds like somebody's in love..." Yugi smiled knowingly.
Yami's silent a moment before looking out towards the horizon. The city surrounding them shown like fireflies with its many lights, the moon and stars bright above and making the ocean below sparkle even in the darkness. He then looked up, his deep violet eyes distant yet curious as he gazed towards the stars, his fingers subconsciously gripping the handrail just a little. "I've never felt like this before...What do I say..? What do I even do...? This is all so...so sudden..."
"That's the thing about love; it hits you when you least expect it to." Yugi told him matter-of-factly.
He chuckled a little, closing his eyes. "Look at me...I'm the King of Games and here I am behaving like some naive, lovesick schoolgirl. How shameful..."
"Nah, don't feel that way! This is just a new feeling for you, so it's natural to seem...well..."
"Indifferent?"
"I wouldn't go that far, Yami. Besides, knowing how you are, you'll get the hang of this - and the girl - in no time." he said, winking.
"Yugi!"
Yugi laughed. "Come on, loverboy. The luau - and your lady - awaits within the hour."
Sulking and still red as a cherry, Yami follows his other back inside, closing the balcony door before the two get ready for their upcoming and exciting evening.
Author's Note: That's all for this chapter. Next time, it's Tèa's preparation intro and the luau begins! Coming soon so stay tuned! ^.^
