Story 138: I Like You

Date: 8/10/2010

Yugi Muto was at the park one bright day. He was sitting on a swing. He watched as little kids played on the slides or the monkey bars. It reminded Yugi of when he was just a little kid. He used to play on the slides in stuff. Anyway he still does though. Yugi smiled and started swinging on the swing. He went high, then low, high, then low. He closes his eyes and let the wind blow into his face. That's when he heard someone calling his name. He opens his eyes and spots Tea standing below the swing. Yugi stops the swing quickly before getting off. He felt embarrassed.

"Hey, Tea. What's up?" Yugi asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

Tea shrugged. "Nothing much. What are you doing?"

"Um…just swinging on the swing," he replied.

Tea nods. "I like swings,"

She walks over to a swing and sits on it. Yugi sits down on the other swing.

"So what are you doing here?" Tea asked.

"I just came here to think," Yugi answered.

She gave him a bright smile. "About what?"

"Just thinking…" Yugi replied nervously.

"Hm," she starts swinging on the swing as her smile faded.

Yugi didn't mean to upset her. "Hey…uh, so how did you do on the test today?"

"I did horrible," Tea replied, looking somber.

I just made things worse. Yugi thought.

"Yugi, I know how you feel about Tea," the spirit living inside of the Millennium Puzzle said.

"I can't tell her…"

"Yes you can," Pharaoh says.

"But what if she doesn't like me that way?"

"You'll find out when you tell her," Pharaoh replies.

Yugi notices as Tea starts to look depressed. Her swing was slowing down. She looked like she was thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Yugi asks.

Tea jumped. "Huh? Oh nothing's wrong!"

Yugi nods slowly. He thought if he should tell her now.

"Bye, Yugi," she said suddenly. She slides off of her swing.

"Oh okay…bye," Yugi looks down disappointed. Surprisingly, Tea wraps her arms around Yugi into a tight embrace. She held him for a few seconds before letting go. "What was that for?" Yugi asked.

Tea smiles. "For being a great friend,"

"Yugi, tell her now before she leaves," Pharaoh said.

Yugi sighs. "Tea?"

"Hm?"

"I like you…"

"I like you too, Yugi. See you later!" Tea then starts to jog away.

Yugi sighed again.

"You can tell her next time," Pharaoh assured him.
