A/N: On to the next Chapter!

Warning: Yusei's Ooc (Sorry) and a sexual reference (Major Sorry!)

Akiza was out with the twins at the ice cream shop, since Leo had a craving for ice cream. They promised Martha and Yusei they'd bring something back for them. Yusei was stayed home, to finish his chores. Once he was done, he sat and watched TV. Martha came in from the laundry room.

"Yusei, have Akiza and you done it yet?"

"What do you mean?" Yusei asked.

"I mean, have you two gone on a date yet? Alone?"

"Well, no, because we haven't had time," Yusei said, "With school, helping the twins, and other things, we haven't really done anything. Sure, we studied together and stuff, but not, "go out to a restaurant" type date."

"Well, then why don't ask her to that burger place that you always go to?"

"Martha, you don't take someone there for your first date. You usually take the other person someplace nice. I can't afford that," Yusei replied, "Besides, how do I know she even wants to go on a date?"

"If she can kiss you than she probably does," Martha said.

She walked away.

Yusei sweated nervously.

"What do I do," he thought.

As Akiza, Leo, and Luna walked home, Akiza thought to herself.

"I wonder why Yusei hasn't asked me out yet."

She looked at the twins talking and laughing at each other.

"Maybe he's just too busy. I mean, the twins and school are on his mind," Akiza thought, "But still, he doesn't need to take me some place nice. Even this ice cream shop we went to would be enough. Maybe I should talk to him about it."

When they got home, Akiza gave Martha her ice cream. Martha said that Yusei was in his room, so she went there, to give him his ice cream.

In his room, Yusei thought on how and what he should do for a date for them.

"Let's see, I could go here," he thought as he wrote down a restaurant on a notepad.

"No, that's not cheap enough."

He erased the name.

"Yusei, I got your ice cream for you," Akiza said.

Yusei, quickly, stuffed the notepad in his jeans pocket.

Akiza walked in and gave it to him.

"This is what you wanted," Akiza asked.

"Oh, yeah," he said as he started to dig in.

Akiza watched as Yusei happily ate his ice cream. He didn't seem to realize that Akiza was still there.

"So, Yusei what are you doing in here?" she asked.

Yusei nearly chocked on his ice cream. He wasn't sure on what to say.

"I well, I was uh, just, uh, making a list," he said.

"A list? Of what?"

"Of places to go," Yusei said nervously.

"Places," Akiza whispered quietly to herself.

"Go where? For what?"

"Uh, just places I haven't been to...in...a...while."

Akiza got up to leave.

"Well, have fun with your list," Akiza said.

She left the room.

Once Yusei was done with his ice cream, he got the notepad out, and looked at it. All the names of restaurants were erased. He was out of ideas. He walked out of his room and overheard Akiza and Martha talking. He couldn't see them, but he could defiantly hear them.

"So, why don't you ask him," Martha asked.

"I want to ask him, but I don't know. Is it weird for a girl to ask a guy out on a date?"

"Not at all," Martha said, "Besides, boys don't always like to do planning and that type of stuff."

"Yeah, I think I'll ask him tonight," Akiza said, "After dinner."

Yusei tiptoed back to his room.

"Wow! Akiza's going to ask me out on a date," he thought.

Yusei smiled, but then realized something.

"Wait, does this make me lazy?" he thought, "All the big movies usually have a guy asking a girl to dance, what they want, or if they want to go out."

Yusei slumped back on his bed.

"I'm worried Akiza will be disappointed in me."

As he ate dinner, he kept looking at Akiza. He kept thinking that Akiza will be upset that he never asked her. The problem was that Yusei wanted to make their first date special. However, he didn't have the resources to do it. He couldn't afford to go to a fancy restaurant. It made him feel worthless.

After dinner, Yusei tried to work on his homework, but his mind kept thinking about what Akiza was going to say.

After about an hour or so...

"Yusei? Are you in there?" Akiza asked.

"Uh sure," he said as he tidied up a few things, "Come on in."

Akiza walked in and sat on his bed. He got up from his desk and sat next to her.

"So, what is it that you need," Yusei asked.

"Well, um, you see," Akiza said nervously.

"Go on," Yusei encouraged her.

"Well, would you, um, like to, um."

She closed her eyes and said it.

"Go on a date?" she asked.

Yusei smiled at her as she opened her eyes.

"Of course we can go," Yusei said.

"Oh! Thank you Yusei," Akiza said as she wrapped him in a hug.

Yusei laughed a little, but when Akiza stopped hugging him, he had to ask.

"So, are you disappointing that I didn't ask you before?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I wanted to ask you for a while now, but, the problem is, I don't have the money to take you somewhere nice," he said.

"Oh Yusei," Akiza said as she wrapped him a hug.

Yusei's eyes started to water.

"Your the first girlfriend I ever had. I don't want you to be mad that I didn't take you somewhere nice. It would be our first time going out, alone, together."

Yusei leaned back and Akiza smiled at him

"Yusei, you don't need to take me some place that costs money. Just the time we spend together here is more than enough. You've done so much to help me, so maybe I should return the favor. Tell you what, next Friday night, I'll take you somewhere. It won't cost you anything."

"We're not going someplace nice that you have to pay for the bill are you?" he asked.

"No, in fact, we'll eat before we leave," Akiza said.

Now, Yusei was really confused on what was going on.

A little over a week later, Yusei and Akiza ate with Martha as they were about to go on their first real date, alone, together.

"Akiza, do we have to wear anything formal," Yusei asked.

"Oh no," Akiza said, "Just come as you are."

They got ready and before they left, Martha had a few words of encouragement.

"Now, don't get too wild and end up with a new baby on the way," Martha said.

"Don't worry, Martha," Akiza said, "We're not that wild. At least, not that I'm aware of."

She gives Yusei a look.

"Right, we're definitely not like that," he said.

Martha waved as Yusei and Akiza headed off.

"Okay, so how do we get there," Yusei asked.

Akiza kept telling him to turn right and left until, they reached a parking lot.

"There's no one here," Yusei said.

"Don't worry Yusei," she said as they got out of the car.

There was a huge lit up house. As they approached it, Yusei started to know what it was. It was a greenhouse.

As they walked inside, they looked around at all the different plants that were in it.

"So, why did you pick this place," Yusei asked.

"Well, it smells nice. Plus, I really like flowers. It's a secret that I've never really told anyone."

Yusei smiled at her.

"Well, I'm glad you told me your secret," Yusei said.

As they walked around Akiza noticed the red roses growing in the greenhouse. She stopped and looked at them.

"You like those, don't you," Yusei said.

Akiza nodded.

They noticed that one of the buds of the roses had fallen off. Yusei picked it up.

"Here you go Akiza, I know it's not the whole thing, but I hope you like it."

Akiza smells the rose.

"Thank you Yusei."

Akiza gives him a peck on the cheek. Yusei blushed.

"Your such a sweet guy."

As they walk out, they look around at the city lights and the stars.

They sit on a bench.

As they watch, Akiza and Yusei slowly turn to each other.

They smile, lean in, and make a very long, loving kiss.

When they finally stop for air, Akiza asks Yusei a question.

"You weren't to bored tonight were you?"

"No, because I got to learn something new about you and we got to spend time together."

"Well, since I showed you something new about me, will you show me a side of you I don't know? It doesn't have to be right away."

"Don't worry Akiza. I promise I'll take you somewhere you've never been to before."

Akiza smiled as the took another, deep, loving kiss.
