Story 15: Three Words

Pairing: YugixTea

Romance

One day, Tea Gardner was skipping to Yugi's Grandpa's Game Shop. She was going there to tell Yugi something. Something very important. She's nervous about it though, but she's trying not to show it to herself. Once Tea made it to Yugi's Grandpa's Game Shop she went inside and was greeted by Yugi's Grandpa.

"Welcome, Tea. You looking for Yugi I suppose?" Yugi's Grandpa asked.

Tea nodded.

"Well he's not here now. He went over to the Arcade earlier with Joey and Tristan," he said.

Tea left the Game Shop without saying good-bye and rushed to the arcade. At the Arcade she was looking around for Yugi, Joey, and Tristan. The arcade was pretty crowded today since it was Saturday. Tea spotted Yugi watching Joey and Tristan play a racing car game. She went over to them. Yugi had his back turned to her and Tea tapped his shoulder. Yugi turned around and saw Tea. He greeted her with a huge smile. Wow…Yugi's so cute when he smiles. How come I never noticed before? Tea thought.

"Hey Tea," Yugi greeted her.

"Hi, Yugi!" Tea shouts.

Okay why'd I just shout? Tea thought.

"I was just watching Joey and Tristan play this racing car game. Want to watch?" Yugi asked. "I think Joey's winning,"

Tea grinned. "Awesome, I'd love to watch with you!"

Yugi nodded and turned back to watch Joey and Tristan play the game.

"I just knocked your car into a mud puddle, Tristan! It'll take you like 'when the race is over' to get out!" Joey teased, as he laughed.

"Not if I can help it!" Tristan said.

Tea couldn't watch Joey and Tristan play, she could only keep her eyes on Yugi. I can't keep my eyes off him. Tea thought. I can't bring myself to tell him how I feel. It's just three words. Three words that just can't come out of my mouth…

Yugi turned to look at Tea. "Tea, are you okay?"

Yugi realizes her lovey dovey expression on her face. Tea shook her head. "I'm…I'm totally fine!"

I can say 'I'm totally fine' but I can't say the other three words I want to say.

Yugi looked unsure. "Are you sure?"

Tea nodded rapidly. "Yup! I mean no! I mean yes!"

Yugi raised an eyebrow in question. Tea sighed and took in a deep breath and let out. "I have something to tell you…"

"What is it?" Yugi asked.

"I…I lo- Tea was cut off by Joey.

"I won! In your face, Tristan!" Joey shouted. He started dancing around. "I win! I win! You lose! You lose! Hahahaha!"

Tristan just frowned at Joey. "That was just luck,"

Tea sighed in frustration. Yugi scratched the back of his head and apologized to Tea. "Sorry. We can talk outside then,"

Tea nodded. Then they both walked outside the arcade.

"So what were you going to tell me, Tea?" Yugi asked.

"Well…" Tea began.

Just say it! It's not like it's going to kill you!

Tea started holding her breath. After a few seconds she started getting light headed. Just let it out already!

"Tea? Tea breath!" Yugi exclaims.

Tea let out and started breathing heavy.

Yugi pats Tea's back. "Maybe you should get some rest, Tea," Yugi suggested. Tea shook her head, still breathing heavy.

"No…I'm fine," Tea insisted.

Yugi nods. He starts looking up at the sky, worried.

"Yugi?"

"Hm?" he didn't look at her.

"Yugi…I…I…" Tea says. Do it! "I love you!"

Yugi looks at Tea surprised. His cheeks were really red. "You…you love m-me?"

Tea nodded. "Yes…"

"I-" Yugi was cut off by Tea. She had cupped his cheeks in her hands and brought him into a kiss. It was a quick kiss though. Yugi's eyes were very huge and he was blushing madly. Once the kiss was over Tea ran away quickly.

THE END
