A/N: Chapter 75!
A/N: I'm going to try and fit all the ideas and things that I can get into this Chapter!
Thanks for all of your help with the story!
Now that Akiza and Yusei were engaged, there were a few things that they had to consider.
The first was housing.
Although Akiza and Yusei had thought things were going to stay as they were, some of their friends thought differently.
It was a few days later and Akiza and Carly were talking over the phone.
"Are you going to move into an apartment after you get married?" Carly asked.
"Jack was bugging Yusei about this yesterday," Akiza said, "I don't think we have enough money to survive on our own. Besides, most of our money's for school."
"But wouldn't it be nice if you and Yusei could have a place all to yourself? That way you could have some alone time. Living with the twins must make this hard."
"Actually, they aren't too bad about it," Akiza replied, "We normally wait until they're in bed to have time together. They also don't mind if we go out on dates together."
Carly rolled her eyes.
"Besides," Akiza continued, "When we transfer in a couple of years, we'll be living together then. So, living in a apartment's not too high on our priority. Plus, we like living with the twins. We help them with school work, life problems, and stuff like that."
"Well, it's your choice. Although, if you are going to stay at Martha's you should at least sleep in the same bed."
"What?" Akiza asked.
"Got to go. Bye!"
Carly quickly hung up.
"In the same bed?" Akiza repeated.
_Akiza imagines_
Yusei walked into the bedroom, with his skin-tight black shirt and boxers on.
Akiza saw him and quickly turned over.
"He looks so good," she thought.
He climbed into bed.
He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
"Good night my sweet rose," he said.
"Good night."
He rolled over and sighed happily.
Akiza wondered what happened.
She then sniffed the air.
"Ugh! Yusei."
"What? I can't help it. Besides, yours are just as bad."
Akiza groaned and covered her nose with the covers.
_Akiza stops imagining_
"That'll be fun," she said sarcastically, "Not to mention..."
_Akiza imagines_
Akiza laid in bed.
Yusei came in with just his boxes on.
It was a hot and humid night and his chest is all sweaty.
Akiza saw his sweaty body and quickly turned over.
"Don't think bad thoughts. Don't think bad thoughts. Don't..."
Yusei leans on her back, with his sweaty chest rubbing her.
"Good night my love," he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
He gives her a kiss on the cheek.
He then returns to the other side of the bed.
"Ugh," Akiza groaned nervously.
_Akiza ends imagining_
Akiza had a nervous look on her face.
"Akiza? What are you doing?" Yusei asked as stopped next to her.
Akiza jumped.
"Um..well...um..."
Yusei gave her a curious look.
"When we get married, what are your thoughts of...sleeping together?"
Yusei hesitated.
"Why do you want to?"
"No, it's all Carly," Akiza quickly replied, "She thought that if we aren't moving anywhere, we should sleep in the same bed."
Yusei thought for a moment.
"Well, I think it's too risky," he said, "With hormones and every..."
"Great! I totally agree," Akiza quickly responded.
Yusei and Akiza smiled at one another.
Yusei then walked away.
Akiza breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good. Glad that's done with."
The next problem, at least for Yusei, was his suit.
Now, Yusei already had one, but he was worried about it.
A few days later, Akiza was at work.
Yusei stood in front of the mirror, in his black suit.
He sighed.
The twins and Martha come over.
"Yusei, what's wrong?" Leo asked.
"Why are you in your suit?" Luna added.
"It's just that...I'm not sure if this is good enough for Akiza," he replied.
"What do you mean?" the twins said in unison.
"Well, Akiza's getting a nice new dress that I've never seen before. I'm going to be wearing this suit, which she has seen before. She might be disappointed and I want her to be happy."
The twins step aside as Martha comes over to him.
"Yusei, Akiza's more than happy that you two are just getting married. In the end, it won't matter what suit you wore, just as long as you two get to be together forever."
Yusei sighed.
"You're probably right," he said.
He turned to her.
"Thanks Martha."
They hug.
"Glad to be of service," she responded.
The next problem, was trying to get set for the wedding.
Akiza had made a list for her parents, Martha, and Yusei.
One of the first things that was on the list was getting the dress.
Akiza went, with her bridesmaids: Carly and Mina. Plus, she had Martha and her mother along too.
As Akiza rode with her mom, Akiza had a nervous look on her face.
"Akiza? What's wrong?" her mother asked, "Today's a happy day."
"But...I'm worried."
"Worried about what?"
"What if I don't pick a good enough dress for Yusei? I don't know what he wants."
"Don't worry," her mother said, "It'll all work out."
Akiza tried to smile, but it quickly turned into a nervous look again.
When she got there, they had a bridal lady and different dresses on display waiting for her.
A/N: I'm not sure what the bridal people are called. No offense.
"Okay, we have many different things to choose from," the lady said, "What sort of things do you want for your dress?"
"Well...I want my future husband to like it," Akiza said, "I want him to be happy."
"Can you excuse us a moment?" Akiza's mother asked.
"Sure."
The bridal lady stepped aside.
"Akiza. Yusei's just happy that he gets to be married. I think as long as you two tie the knot, it won't matter what you looked like."
Akiza sighed and hugged her.
"You're right. Thanks Mom."
"Your welcome sweetheart."
Akiza and her mom then go back to the bridal lady.
Akiza said that her dream wedding dress would be strapless, have a veil, and not be too long in the back.
They found a dress that fit her request.
Well, it almost fit.
Just like all her other clothes, Akiza was having trouble in the chest area.
Carly went in the fitting room to help her.
"Jeeze Akiza," Carly said, "They have breast implants. Maybe you should get a breast un-implant."
"No way," Akiza said as they tried to get it to cover her cleavage.
"What? You and Yusei have such thin butts. Maybe you could put some of it there."
"No way!" Akiza said, "Yusei and I love our butts and my chest."
"Okay. It was just a suggestion," Carly said annoyingly.
They couldn't get it to fit, so like all of Akiza's other clothes, they had to get a custom order.
Akiza's mother was paying and didn't have a problem with it the small charge that came with it.
"I want my daughter to be happy and comfortable," she told the bridal lady.
Everyone then headed home.
"So Akiza, you going to show your wedding dress to Yusei when it arrives?" her mother asked.
Akiza shook her head.
"I want it to be a surprise."
Akiza's mother smiled.
About a week later, Yusei was checking the list for the wedding.
Many of the things weren't done yet.
Just then, the phone rang.
He picked it up.
"Hey Yusei. How's it going?" Crow asked.
"Good. I was just checking the wedding list. There sure is a lot to do," he noted.
"The wedding list? Lots of stuff left? Uh-oh. You're in trouble," Crow said.
"Why is that?"
"Haven't you ever heard of bridezilla?"
"Yeah. So?"
"Well, Akiza might turn into one of them. Besides, she's got some fire in her."
Yusei thought for a moment.
Akiza was a person that could snap when she wanted to.
"What should I do?" he asked.
"Don't get involved," Crow said, "It might tick her off."
"But what about all the stuff..."
"Just do it so that she gets the wedding she wants."
"Um...thanks. Bye."
They hung up.
Martha walked into the room.
"Who was that?"
"Crow. He doesn't want me to do much for the wedding."
"Why is that?"
"He thinks Akiza might become a bridezilla."
"Well, I do know some people that were like that," Martha said suggestfully.
Yusei sighed.
Later that night, Yusei wanted to see how Akiza was really feeling about how the plans were coming along.
He held onto the list and saw her sitting on the couch.
He sat down next to her.
"Akiza, look at all the work we have to do," Yusei said.
They look at the list.
"Oh. Well...we can pick the flowers we want right now," Akiza said.
She got up.
"Oh crap," Yusei thought.
She then came back with a flower magazine.
Yusei opened it and started looking.
It wasn't that he hated flowers, it's just that picking them wasn't the most interesting thing for him.
"Which one one do you want?" he asked.
"Well...I like those ones right there."
She pointed at one.
"Great! Lets get those!" Yusei said as he got up.
"Yusei...we haven't finished looking."
"Oh," Yusei said in a disappointed tone.
He sat back down.
"Besides, I don't know which ones you want," Akiza said.
Yusei was puzzled.
"What I want?"
"Yes Yusei. I want you to have a say in the wedding ideas too. After all, we are a couple."
Yusei smiled.
"Okay," he said in a now upbeat tone.
They decided on the flowers and figured out how much they needed.
A week later, they were going to decide on the cake they wanted.
However, Akiza needed to tell Yusei something.
As they headed for the bakery, Yusei pulled up to a stoplight.
Now was the perfect time to bring it up.
"Yusei," Akiza said in a sad tone, "Can I talk to you about something?"
Yusei turned and gave her a concerned look.
"Of course Akiza. You always have the right to talk and you can always talk to me about anything. No matter what, I want you to be happy."
Akiza smiled a little.
"I feel the same way about you," she replied.
Yusei smiled back.
"Well, since we're getting cake I thought I'd bring this up. Can we...not throw it in each other's face? I don't want to get all messy and ruin a good cake."
Yusei smiled and the light turned green.
"Of course Akiza. Besides, I feel the exact same way."
Akiza smiled.
"Thanks," she said softly.
"No problem."
They arrived at the bakery a few minutes later and ordered the cake.
A few months later, Akiza and Yusei were set to get married in about a week.
It was a few days before the rehearsal dinner and Jack was working on his Best Man speech.
Carly came over to his house as he was working on it.
Jack was sitting at the dinner table and he had papers all over it.
"Wow Jack, you sure are taking this seriously," Carly said.
"It's a Best Man speech," he said, "It's important, not only for that reason, but it's for Yusei and Akiza."
"Tell me more," Carly said, "I'm intrigued."
"Well, Yusei and I have been friends since we were kids. Crow too, but he's always been interested in girls more than us."
Carly laughed.
She paused and got an idea.
She wanted to see just how serious Jack was about this.
"Well, when you get finished I'll be waiting for you," she said slyly.
"Same place as always?"
"Uh huh."
"Well, this will be a while," Jack warned, "Maybe tomorrow."
Carly was stunned, but yet happy that Jack cared so much.
"I sure hope your this serious when it comes to our wedding," she thought as she left.
It was now time for the rehearsal dinner.
Everyone wore their regular clothes.
Akiza's Bridesmaids: Carly and Mina
Yusei's Groomsmen: Trudge, Crow, and Jack
Best Man: Jack
Maid of Honor: Carly (Although Akiza's mother helped Carly out a lot)
As everyone got ready, Crow spotted Akiza near the bathroom.
"Akiza. I thought you would wear your dress!" Crow said.
"No. I want it to be a surprise for Yusei," she said.
Crow smiled.
"Well, is it as long enough for those legs you got there?"
Akiza finally snapped.
"Come with me," she said grudge-fully.
She pushed Crow into another room.
"What are you doing?" Crow asked.
"You know...there's been something I've wanted to for a long time," she said slyly.
"What's that?"
Outside the room...
"Ow! What was that? Ow!" Crow screamed.
"Oh I'm Crow! I have to read dirty magazines or I can't sleep," Akiza mocked.
"Ow! I can...ow! Ow! Not there! Ow!"
"I'm Crow! I'm so busy masturbating that I don't have time to get a girl," Akiza mocked.
"Now hold on a minute...ow! Ow!"
After some more mocking and pain for Crow...
"...ow! Ow! Ow the pain!"
Akiza stormed out.
She then went back to the dining room and sat down next to Yusei.
"Where were you?" he asked.
"Oh, I had to relieve myself," Akiza said, "I feel much better now."
Yusei smiled.
Crow stumbled out of the room and Jack walked by.
"Crow what did you do? Did you hit on some girl?"
"Yeah, but..."
"Phhpt," Jack said, "Serves you right."
He walked away.
Crow just laid there, until the rehearsal dinner was over.
"Where was Crow?" Yusei asked Akiza as they were walking to the exit.
Crow spotted them and quickly ran out.
About a week later...
The day was finally here.
It was time for Akiza and Yusei's wedding day.
Yusei got up and started making breakfast.
Akiza was staying at her parent's house, so that she could keep the dress a surprise.
Yusei made himself breakfast as Martha and the twins came in.
"Don't eat too much," Leo said, "You don't want to miss out on the great food for the reception."
"Thanks, but I don't think I'll have any problems," he said, " And neither will you."
They laugh.
Later, as Yusei, Leo, and Luna were all trying to share the bathroom.
"Let Yusei go first and get ready," Luna said she pulled Leo out.
"But I have to pee," Leo responded.
"He's the groom."
Luna shut the door.
"Fine," Leo groaned, "Can I go outside?"
"Eww. No."
A few moments later...
"Okay. I'm ready," Yusei said as he opened the door.
"Thank you," Leo said as he rushed in and slammed the door.
"Do I look okay?" he asked Luna.
She nodded.
Leo got finished and came out.
"Oh! Don't you three look nice," Martha said as she wore a big pink dress.
She went up and tugged lightly at Yusei's cheek.
"And I can't believe my little Yusei's all grown up and getting married."
She let go.
"Thanks Martha," Yusei said.
They then headed for the Catholic Church a few miles away.
Crow, Trudge, and Jack were in the bathroom making sure they looked good.
Akiza was in a room, with Carly, Mina, and her parents.
They were helping her get ready.
"You look wonderful," her mother said.
"Our little girl is finally grown up," her father added.
Akiza smiled.
"It's going to start in a few minutes," Carly said as she checked the clock on the wall.
"Does everything look good?" Akiza asked one last time.
They all nodded.
Later, the ceremony started.
The pastor stood at the alter, as Martha walked Yusei up.
They then hugged when they got up to the alter.
They were then followed by Trudge and Mina, Carly and Jack, and Crow, with all of his bruises healed up.
Then, the music started playing and everyone stood up.
Akiza came out from behind the crowd of people.
She had her father's arm hooked with hers.
They slowly walked up the aisle and hugged at the end.
Akiza then walked up to Yusei.
He slowly lifted the veil as Akiza was looking down.
When he lifted it high enough to show her face, she looked up and opened her eyes.
They smiled at one another.
A/N: I don't want to disrespect a wedding ceremony, so I'll skip to the end.
"You may now kiss the bride," the pastor said.
Akiza and Yusei leaned and kissed.
For a brief moment, their tongues met, but it was unnoticed by everyone.
They then broke apart and everyone cheered.
They walked down the aisle, followed by the wedding party.
A few minutes later, after talking with their parents some more, they then headed outside.
Everyone started blowing bubbles at them, so that they wouldn't hurt any birds.
They headed for the limo that was bought by Akiza's parents.
They finally reached it and hopped in.
The limo driver then started heading down the street.
"That was so much fun," Akiza said as she wrapped her arms around her new husband.
"Yes," Yusei replied, "And you look great in that dress."
"Thanks Yusei. You look great in that suit."
The smiled.
Once they got to the reception, Akiza and Yusei had decided to greet the guests as they came in.
Their main family came first.
However, Yusei and Akiza were then greeted by some of Crow's orphans and then some members of Akiza's family.
They both were, for some reason, nervous when they shook hands with them.
They didn't know many of their names and it felt a little awkward.
When they were done, they sat down at the wedding party table.
Akiza's parents and Martha came over.
"You two looked so cute when meeting those guests," Martha said.
"What do you mean?" Yusei asked.
"You're both are secretly shy," Akiza's mother said.
"We could see it on your faces," Akiza's father added.
The parents laugh, while Akiza and Yusei blush.
A few minutes later, everyone got their food and drinks.
Since Yusei and Akiza couldn't drink, they had sparkling juice for themselves and any underage kids.
Although, Yusei and Akiza weren't interesting in drinking, even if they could.
As they pored themselves another glass full, Jack tapped his glass, took the microphone that was sitting at the table, and stood up.
"Um...I'd like to start the Best Man speech," he said in rather nervous tone.
Everyone looked up at Jack, as to everyone's surprise, he seemed a bit nervous.
"You know, there are many things that I claim to be, that I'm really not," Jack said.
"I always thought that I can't get nervous. However, as I wrote this speech, I proved myself wrong."
"I wanted this speech to be good for, not only a great friend like Yusei, but also for his loving wife Akiza."
"So...I titled my speech, "Things I am not."
"I do not have nerves of steel, as I just mentioned."
"I claim to be the "master of faster." However, this is one thing that Yusei beat me to. He was faster to get married than me."
"Speaking of which, I'm...truthfully...not the best duelist out there. I will always try to be the best, but there is one person that is better... his name is Yusei. He has beaten me at dueling a few times before."
Crow quickly got up.
"More than a few times," he said into the microphone.
Jack gave him a glare as he sat down.
Everyone laughed.
"Anyways, the final thing that I admit that he's better at me, is showing his love. Ever since he and Akiza started going out together, I could tell that Akiza was special."
"He teats everyone with respect and class. However, he seems to show this to an even greater extent when it comes to her. He has told me how much he wants her to be safe, happy, and healthy. Clearly, he has tried to show just how much he cares about her, by marring her."
"So, I guess to sum it all up, Yusei and I have our differences. However, there's one last thing I want both my friend and his new wife to know."
"I want to see you two happy and I wish you the best in the years to come. If you ever need my help, no matter when or where, you can always reach me. Thank you."
Everyone clapped as Yusei and Akiza stood up and thanked Jack.
Once everyone was done with the main course, it was time for cake.
Akiza and Yusei went over to beautifully layered cake that was made for them.
After taking a few pictures, Akiza's mother and Martha started cutting and passing it out.
They made sure that Leo got an extra big piece.
"A special piece for me," he said as a huge slice was set in front of him.
"Don't worry Leo. I'm sure you can finish it," his sister replied.
Once everyone got a slice, Akiza and Yusei were given theirs.
Just as they had agreed, they didn't let one speck of cake get shoved into their faces.
Finally, it was time for the first dance.
Akiza and Yusei got up to the dance floor and the band started playing.
They swayed slowly to the beat and smiled at one another.
"You sure are a good dancer," Akiza whispered.
"And so are you," he replied.
As the song ended and another one started, more people came onto the floor.
Akiza then rested her head onto Yusei's chest and closed her eyes.
After a few more songs, Yusei and Akiza sat down.
They watched the people dancing.
They then noticed Carly and Jack.
"C'mon Jack. I want to dance," Carly said.
"I don't dance," Jack said.
"Fine," Carly said, "But if you would dance, we could made the most of the hotel room we're staying in tonight."
Jack quickly got up and held her hand.
"Care to dance?" he asked kindly.
They headed for the floor.
Carly thought for a moment.
"Jack? Can this be our first dance?"
Jack smiled.
"You mean?"
Carly nodded.
"Of course."
They swayed back and forth.
The song then changed to an upbeat tone.
Akiza and Yusei smiled as all their family members and closest friends were up at the dance floor.
Jack and Carly were dancing and shaking to the beat.
Luna danced as she watched Leo try to show off his best dance moves.
Akiza's parents were trying to do some dance steps that they had used back when they were young.
Martha and Crow were even trying to have some fun.
Akiza and Yusei looked at one another.
"I love you Yusei."
"I love you Akiza."
With their families in the background, Akiza and Yusei kissed.
