I have done a 'first time love' story before, but since one of the most obvious hinted at canon romances is seldom written about in fan fiction these days, I thought I would rectify that. I don't usually tend to write very graphic love scenes, but on this occasion I decided to make things a little more raunchy, exciting, explicit, while still trying to be tasteful. I hope you enjoy.
Warning: mostly fun and fluff to start, lemony in the last part. First proper sexual experience for Yugi and Anzu. Young couple losing their virginity.

Learning The Art of Love -From Friends to Lovers.
It had been a while since Yugi had met up with Anzu without his other friends being there as well, and he was looking forward to spending the afternoon with her.
They had arranged to meet at a coffee shop that was conveniently close to where Anzu attended her dance classes, and as he approached he checked his watch. The plan was to meet here just after eleven and have coffee while they decided what they wanted to do this afternoon.
It was almost eleven o'clock now, so he went inside to find a seat and wait for her to arrive –her class finished at eleven so she shouldn't be long.
The waitress came over to take his order, dressed in what could only be described as a sailors uniform but with an obscenely short skirt. Yugi tried not to look at her thighs, while explaining that he was waiting for a friend and would she mind if they ordered when said friend arrived? Smiling, the waitress bowed politely, nodded and left him alone. Anzu turned up twenty minutes later.
"Sorry! Class ran over," she said, sounding a bit exasperated. "A couple of the girls couldn't get the routine right and were giggling and messing around, so Miss wouldn't let anyone out until they got it." She rolled her eyes. "Honestly! I really don't understand why those two girls even bother to come to class! They get on everyone's nerves; it's a good job they're not planning to make dance a career, they'd be hopeless!" She was getting quite animated and it made Yugi chuckle.
"Hey! It doesn't matter," he said calmly, "You're here now. Sit down and relax, and we'll order coffee."
Laughing sheepishly, she slumped into the chair opposite him at the little round table he had chosen. Pouting, she smiled sheepishly, suddenly embarrassed about her outburst. "You must think I'm crazy for getting so uptight about it but I take my dancing seriously, so it's frustrating when others in the class can't be bothered and just mess about like they don't wanna be there."
Yugi was far too enamoured with her to find her reaction anything other than cute. "I don't think you're crazy at all! You're passionate about what you enjoy and I really like that," he said sincerely. Before he could add that he thought she was amazing, they were interrupted by the waitress. They both ordered coffee, and Yugi ordered a chocolate fudge brownie. Anzu declined the offer of cake.
Putting her irritation about the other dancers in her class aside, Anzu relaxed back in her chair with a long sigh/hum. "This is nice," she said. "Seems like an age since you and me met up on our own like this."
He nodded. "Yeah… school work's been a drag lately. It feels like we've got no time at all to have fun!" After returning from Egypt, following their emotional goodbye to Atem, they were all hit with the realisation that they had let their schoolwork slip and needed to put in some extra hours to catch up. With final exams starting next week, followed by graduation, there was a lot to do!
"Fun! What's that?!" Anzu said jokingly, but with a hint of irritation.
"I wouldn't know. I've forgotten," Yugi replied with a light chuckle.
"Well, at least we have a whole afternoon, just you and me, to do whatever we want!" said Anzu.
"Like doing some more studying," said Yugi, huffing.
"I think we've earned a couple of hours off, don't you?"
"Yep! I think so." It did not take much to distract Yugi from school work. "What would you like to do?" he asked.
"I don't mind. We could to go to the arcade, or we could go for a walk along the river? You choose." She secretly hoped he would not choose the arcade.
Yugi thought about it for a moment. The arcade would be noisy and would distract him from Anzu –he was not so dense that he did not notice how much it irked her whenever he got way too immersed in a game to pay her any attention. The river would be nice, but it was windy and spotting with rain. "We could go for a burger?" he suggested tentatively.
Anzu rolled her eyes and giggled. "You and burgers, Yugi," she teased, smiling fondly at his favourite fast food meal.
"Hey!" he said defensively, holding his hands up and chuckling. "It was just a suggestion! I know you don't really like the arcade, and I would say let's do the river walk but I think more rain is forecast."
"We could always get a big umbrella and huddle under it together?" she teased. Yugi blushed –was Anzu openly flirting with him?
"I don't have an umbrella, do you?" he said, disappointed they would not get to huddle together underneath one. His hopes were raised when she smiled triumphantly.
"As a matter of fact, I do!" she said, sounding pleased with herself. "I saw the forecast and packed one just in case." She reached into her sports bag and pulled out a small, foldaway brolly that was contained neatly inside a canvas sleeve. "But it's not particularly large…" she pouted at it "...do you think we can both fit under it?" There was a slight hint of suggestiveness in her voice and it made his face heat up.
"If we…" he began, but they were interrupted by the waitress bringing their order over and he did not get to finish saying 'cuddle real close'. The flirty moment was broken.
Yugi picked up the fork to break his brownie into quarters. "Would you like some? I don't want to eat it all."
Tempted by the treat, Anzu took a piece off the plate and popped it in her mouth. "Mmm.." she hummed, making quick work of the delicious chocolate brownie. "Maybe I should have ordered my own after all!"
"I can get you one?" Yugi offered, attracting the waitress's attention and asking for another brownie before Anzu could even think to protest.
"Yugi! I didn't mean I actually wanted one!" she said, after the waitress had gone.
He shrugged. "I'm sure you'll manage it." He winked at her. Anzu rolled her eyes and tutted.
"I'm not that greedy!" she replied. "Anyway, back to what we were talking about: if it's raining when we leave here, we could get the bus back to my house and hang out there, if you like?"
"Have you changed your mind about the walk?" he asked, disappointed he would not get to huddle under the umbrella with her – he did not care if he got wet if it meant being close to Anzu.
Anzu shrugged. "Depends how hard it's raining. It's not the most robust of umbrellas," she told him. "Slightest hint of a breeze and it tends to blow inside out!" Yugi could live with that.
"Why don't we decide when we get outside?" he suggested, to which Anzu agreed.
After they finished their coffee and cake, they left the coffee shop, only to find that the rain was now coming down heavily. Add to that the gusty conditions and it was extremely unpleasant.
Shivering, Anzu screwed her nose up. "I'm not sure I want to walk in this!" she grumbled
"I wish I'd worn a proper coat," said Yugi, shivering at his choice of a shirt and knitted sweater. The chilly wind blew right through it.
"Me, too," said Anzu, regretting throwing just her dance school sweatshirt and leggings on over her leotard; thanks to the hopeless girls in her class she had been running late and in her haste left her coat hanging on the hook. She opened her umbrella and grabbed Yugi by the arm, pulling him closer so that they were at least afforded a tiny bit of shelter from the driving rain. "C'mon, let's get the bus back to my place, shall we?"
Yugi nodded, and they made a dash for the bus stop, which was on the other side of the road about fifty metres further along. As they waited at the pedestrian crossing, a big gust of wind took the umbrella, whipping it up in the air. Anzu held onto it but it blew inside out with so much force that a couple of the flimsy spokes broke. After struggling with it for a moment, Anzu gave it up as a lost cause.
"Stupid, cheap thing," she complained. "It's fine in a light shower, but that's about all!"
"I don't think any umbrella would stay up in this!" said Yugi, willing the pedestrian lights to change in their favour so that they could cross the road.
It seemed to take an age, and they had to jump back when a truck went by too close and ran through a puddle in the gutter, throwing up a wave of water onto the pedestrians waiting to cross and catching many of them by surprise. Yugi and Anzu dodged much of the wave, but were still soaked by the time they got to the bus stop.
Caught out by the sudden downpour, many people were without waterproof jackets and had huddled under the bus shelter to stay dry, making it a bit of a squeeze to get in.
Luckily the bus came after only five minutes, and they were relived to be out of the cold wind and rain.
As they sat down, Anzu shivered. Although it was supposed to be smudge and waterproof, her eye make-up she had worn for ballet class had started to smear where she had rubbed her arm across her wet face.
Yugi thought it made her look really cute. He wanted to put his arms around her and cuddle her to warm her up, but it was not polite thing to do that in public, so he refrained.
"Are you okay?" he asked, wishing he could offer her a clean tissue to wipe her face with, but unfortunately he had already blown his nose on the one he had in his pocket so it would not be hygienic.
"I could be dryer," she said, rummaging in her sports bag for the small hand towel she had in there somewhere. "I know they said rain, but they didn't forecast the weather to be this bad!" she complained, dabbing her face dry. When she had finished, she turned to Yugi. "How do I look?"
She actually looked like a circus clown on a bad day. "Your make-up is a tiny bit smudged," he told her instead. She rolled her eyes.
"I bet I look like a freak," she said, using the a clean corner of the towel to dab water from Yugi's face.
"You don't look that bad," he fibbed, pouting half heartedly at her fussing over him, but not stopping her from pushing the strands of his golden fringe away from his face, which hung heavily with dripping water. Ruffling his hair, she smiled lovingly, giggling as rainwater collected in the thick strands slashed her. She would never stop marvelling at the way the main body of his spiky hair always sprang back up even when his hair was soaked.
The bus journey to her house was only a fifteen minute ride, and the rain showed no signs of easing when they got off. It was another five minute walk to her house, so they ran.
Her mother was in the kitchen when the pair barrelled inside, complaining, but still managing to laugh about how drenched they were.
"Oh, dear! Don't drip all over my clean floor!" Anzu's mother scolded, upon seeing the soggy trail of footprints they were leaving.
"Mum!" Anzu whined, "We're trying not to, but just look at us! It's turned so awful out that we decided to come home to hang out. Is that okay?" It did not escape Mrs Mazaki that the two teens were shivering quite badly.
"Of course. But you should go and change out of those wet things, before you both catch a chill!"
"Thanks Mum. C'mon Yugi!" Grabbing his hand, she pulled him out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the bathroom to grab a couple of towels.
"You can strip-off and dry yourself in here," she told him. "I'll change in my bedroom."
"What am I going to change into?" he asked.
"Don't worry, I'll find you something to put on while your clothes are drying." With that, she ran across the landing to her bedroom. Yugi wanted to follow her but did as he was told.
Peeling off his wet jumper, shirt, jeans and socks, he quickly rubbed himself dry with the towel she had given him. Even his boxers were wet but he was too shy to take them off so he left them on.
Wrapping the towel around himself, he trotted to her room. He would have knocked before entering, but the door was wide open. Anzu was in front of her chest of drawers, bending over completely naked bar a towel. The towel covered her shoulders and back, but had ridden up to give him the most wonderful view of her silky thighs and backside.
He almost gasped, in a mixture of awe and embarrassment, but covered his mouth just in time. Despite how cold and shrivelled it had been feeling a moment ago, he could feel his cock coming back to life, twitching inside his boxers.
He was about to step behind the wall out of sight, but was too slow to move.
Sensing she was being watched, Anzu turned around and caught him. She let out a squeal, grappling frantically to cover herself fully with the towel. "Yugi!" she scolded.
Cringing, Yugi covered his eyes with the hand that was not clutching his towel. "S..sorry.. c..can I come in?"
Anzu sighed. "You might as well. Just… just don't peek."
"I won't," he said awkwardly, shuffling into her room while trying not to look at her. He stood with his back to her for what seemed an eternity, desperately trying to avoid the temptation to glance over his shoulder.
"Okay. You can look now," she said. Obeying orders, he turned around to see she was now wearing a pink sweater and navy blue, baggy sweatpants.
"I.. I didn't see you naked," he lied, his face red. Anzu narrowed her eyes and fixed him with a look that told him he was in trouble.
"Then how did you know I was naked?"
He let out a strangled groan. Anzu narrowed her eyes at him, but figured it probably did not matter all that much, because if things carried on the way they were between them he would probably see her naked at some point anyway, as she would him. "Here, you can wear my dressing gown," she said, grabbing her oversized, fleecy, bright pink dressing gown off the chair and holding it out.
He took it from her and turned away as he dropped the towel, so that she wouldn't see the tent in his boxers when he slipped awkwardly into her pink dressing gown.
"You should take your boxers off too if they're wet and uncomfortable," she told him. "I'll dry them with the rest of your clothes."
Nodding, he tied the cord of the dressing gown around his middle, and then reached underneath to peel off his underwear – it felt nice to be free of them.
Blushing, boxers in one hand, he turned to face her, and jumped slightly at how close she was standing. "I look stupid in this, don't I?" he said, frowning; as nice as it was to be wearing a gown that smelt of Anzu and had been worn by her, he was embarrassed by the colour, and especially the Hello Kitty logo.
"Of course not!" she said, smiling as she stepped even closer and smoothed her hands over his shoulders. "Only real men can wear Hello Kitty and pink," She winked at him. "Besides, it fits you better than it does me – I find it too long in the arms." It probably fitted him so well because his shoulders had broadened during his recent growth spurt, which she found… nice.. sexy even.
Unable to resist, she leaned forward and kissed his cheek, very close to the corner of his mouth, lingering the kiss in the hope that it might get the message across that she saw him as a bit more than a good friend.
Yugi was not sure how to react. They had always been close friends, and he knew how much she liked to fuss over him. But if she was just being motherly and he made a fool of himself by kissing her he might blow his chances completely!
She pulled back a little and their eyes locked. He blinked nervously. "Anzu? Can I k. you….?" The question hung in the air for a moment, before she nodded and waited for him to make a move.
Fearing his courage was about to bolt for the door, Anzu hesitantly looped her arms over his shoulders and touched her lips to his. Thankfully it was enough to spur him on. The boxers fell from his hand as he placed his hands on her waist and kissed her. This was his first ever proper kiss and he did not have a clue if he was doing it right! But she was not complaining, she was responding, so he continued to kiss her as softly and gently as he could.
As they enjoyed their kiss, Yugi had to wonder, was this Anzu's first proper kiss too? He hoped it was; it would be nice to be her first, but she seemed too good at it for it to be her first kiss.
He had no idea that Anzu was actually thinking the same thing about him!
The moment was spoilt, when Anzu's mother called out from halfway up the stairs, "Would you both like some lunch?"
The pair jumped apart as if they had been scalded.
Licking her lips, that were damp from their kiss, Anzu looked at Yugi bashfully. She could feel her cheeks were flushed. "I think we got a bit carried away," she said shyly. "Shall we go and have some food?" Still dazed and amazed from their kiss, Yugi nodded like a love struck schoolboy.
He wanted so much more than just a kiss.
Anzu turned towards the door. "Yes, please, Mum! We'll be down in a moment."
Yugi caught her hand. "Anzu I….. I don't regret kissing you," he said, blushing. Anzu looked away, coyly biting her lip.
"Neither do I," she admitted.
Still holding hands, they stood there awkwardly for a moment, both wanting to say something more, but both unsure of what to say. However, in that moment, something akin to unspoken desire passed between them.
Too embarrassed by their feelings of lust, they hurried downstairs before they did something that might get them into trouble.
::::::::::::
Revision was so frustratingly boring, especially when sat alone in her bedroom with a bunch of books containing coursework spread out on her desk.
If only she could concentrate on it properly, without constantly thinking about HIM!
They shared a kiss yesterday, and it was… really nice. Unfortunately, fear of the lustful urges she felt for him, accompanied by embarrassment when she thought her mother might have suspected they were kissing, had lead to her being slightly… not off-hand, but more… distracted and distant.
Poor Yugi, he must have been a bit confused. She was sure he wanted to ask her something, but with her mother there they could not really talk, and Anzu had avoided taking him back up to her room fearing her mother would know exactly why they had sneaked off upstairs together.
She would be seeing Yugi at school tomorrow, but Jonouchi, Honda and Bakura would be there as well. It meant that they would be back to pretending they were just good friends and acting like yesterday's kiss never happened.
Sighing, she settled down to try and work on the assignment, but that gnawing feeling would not go away. Yes, there had been a few difficult moments during the last couple of years, especially over her crush on Atem, but after everything they had been through, Anzu now knew for sure that it was Yugi she was head over heels for.
But would acting on her desires spoil their friendship?
And was it even wise to pursue a romantic relationship with him if she was going to New York to study in a few months? And then there was her long term ambition to appear in shows on Broadway. Beyond achieving her Broadway dream, she had no idea if she would even return to Domino to live! The last thing she wanted to do was to get his hopes up only to let him down.
Shouting at it, Anzu threw her book across the room. "Stupid assignment!"
Sighing at her outburst, she got up off her chair and retrieved the book, smoothing out the pages that had been creased, and putting her page markers carefully back in –stupid assignment would not finish itself if she lost her temper with it. And losing her temper would not solve her dilemma.
Again, her mind drifted to Yugi.
Maybe she should invite him round to her house, so that they could work on the assignment together. Her parents were both out for the whole day, and it would give them a chance to be alone to talk about what they should do about their budding romance.
Good idea.
Picking up her phone, she called him. When he answered, her tummy did flips and her heart skipped a beat – definitely in love.
"Hey, Anzu!" said Yugi, his friendly, dulcet tones almost sending her into a swoon.
"Hi, Yugi!" she replied, trying to sound casual, and not like some crazy sex mad fan girl. "Just wondered how you were getting on with the assignment?"
Yugi looked down at the game controller in his hands and cringed. "Hmm… planning to some more later."
Even though she could not see him, Anzu could pretty much guess he was gaming. "Yugi! It has to be in on Monday, which is TOMORROW!" she yelled, horrified he had probably not even started on it.
"I know," he said calmly. "But there's not much left to do, right?"
"Right!" She huffed. "Except that I've been doing it for the last two hours and I'm absolutely stuck. It's really difficult."
"Oh…!" He grimaced. "Well, erm… Perhaps I should make a start then," he said sheepishly.
Anzu took a deep breath. "Would you like to come round here and we can do it together? Or... I can come to you? I don't mind."
Yugi looked around at his untidy room. His mother had been nagging him all weekend to tidy his room and put his dirty laundry in the linen bin, but he could not be bothered. He really had become a slob now that Atem was no longer around to remind (tease) him.
He was further distracted when he spotted the magazine that Jonouchi had lent him. A big busted, scantily clad woman adorned the front cover, but there was some far raunchier stuff inside. He could hide it, but Anzu would no doubt find it and kill him. "I'll come to you," he decided.
"Okay. How soon?" she answered quickly.
"I just need to gather up my stuff and I'll be there in..." He looked down at himself in boxers and an old tee-shirt. But at least he had showered and brushed his teeth this morning, so it should not take long for him to be presentable. "Fifteen minutes?" He had no idea that Anzu's current appearance was no more presentable than his!
"Great! See you in a while," she replied.
They ended the call.
::::::::::::
Shrugging off the stretched and faded Pikachu tee-shirt she had owned since she was twelve but could not face throwing out, Anzu hurried over to her dresser and fished out a black, lacy bra and matching panties.
A squirt of softly perfumed body spray, and dressed in a tight fitting, low-cut crop top (to reveal a hint of cleavage and a bit of bellybutton) and a pair of soft, pale pink jogging bottoms, Anzu ran downstairs to await Yugi's arrival.
The heating was only on low and it was cold downstairs, so she ran back upstairs to get some woolly socks and a warmer top.
Pulling a zip-up sweater on over the top of her crop top, she went downstairs and put some music on low in the background, to relax the atmosphere a little, and then switched the coffee machine on to make some fresh coffee.
A few minutes later the doorbell chimed.
Warm, welcoming smile in place –a little more sincere than the one she used to pin customers with at Burger World– Anzu answered the door. Yugi was standing there in nicely fitted denim jeans and sporting a black padded jacket to keep out the chill of the February air. He was carrying a lovely big bunch of flowers.
"Ooh! Are they for me?" Anzu gushed, blushing and gesturing at the flowers.
Yugi smiled sheepishly. "No," he teased. "For your mum." Anzu's eyes widened in mild surprise, and a lot of envy. She assumed he was teasing, but still….
"Really?" She pouted at him, unsure if she was feigning feelings of hurt or genuinely expressing hurt.
Useless at being cruel by winding people up, Yugi crumbled. "No!" he said, feeling remorseful, "They're for you!" With a nervous little laugh he thrust them at her.
Anzu pouted as she took them from him. "Don't tease me like that!" she scolded lightly. "You're learning too many bad habits from Jonouchi."
"Yeah…" He shrugged lightly and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I sort of got the idea from him. Not funny, I know. Sorry."
She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "Don't be sorry. I just wasn't expecting you to joke around like that and almost believed you. Anyway…" she reached out and grabbed his sleeve. "don't stand there letting in the cold air." She tugged his arm lightly and he stepped inside, closing the door behind himself.
Anzu inhaled the soft scent of the flowers. "These are lovely Yugi, where did you get them?"
"I was walking past the convenience store and there was a flower seller outside, so I bought some. I hope you like them?" he said, sounding slightly uncertain.
"Of course I do!" She kissed him gently on the lips. "They brighten up a dull day. I'll go find a vase to put them in. Want coffee?" She turned away and walked towards the kitchen, with purpose in her stride.
Unseen by her and blushing, Yugi touched his lips where she had just kissed him, and gazed after her with a deep longing. If only he had the guts to make a play for her. But she had dashed his hopes in the past with her crush on Atem, and had sent him mixed messages after they kissed yesterday, so he was nervous about asking her to be his girlfriend.
Besides, it would be selfish of him to pursue a romantic relationship with her after she had successfully applied for an overseas education grant and was awaiting confirmation that she had been accepted into the dance school in New York. He did not want her turning down her place because of him.
Anzu popped her head out of the kitchen door. "Yugi! What are you doing still in the hall?"
"Huh?!" He shook his head and hurried into the kitchen. "Erm… nothing! My shoelace had a knot and I couldn't get it undone because my hands are cold," he lied, realising what a rubbish excuse it was when she rolled her eyes and tutted.
:::::::::::
"So," said Anzu, opening out her own workbook. "Let's compare notes and see if we can get this finished, yes?" Yugi peered at the paragraphs she had highlighted and the little post-it notes, with page numbers and bullet points written on them, that she had slipped into the cover of her exercise book.
"Wow! You've done a lot!" he exclaimed in awe.
"I'm only about halfway through," she said, huffing. "Show me what you've done so far?"
That sounded very much like the sort order their sensei would make when he knew the students had been slacking. Yugi offered her a feeble grimace and opened his book. "Erm…" he said, sheepishly turning the first few pages. Anzu gasped.
"Yugi! You've hardly done anything!"
"I've done the first part!" he said defensively. "Only two sections to go. And…" He looked down at his hands and fiddled with his pen. "School work seems a bit pointless compared to helping Atem, and since he left.…" he trailed off.
Anzu sighed and rubbed his arm sympathetically. "I know. I'm sorry. You've had a lot to deal with lately, we all have, but you were much closer to him than the rest of us. It must be must be hard getting used to him not being there?" He looked at her and nodded.
"Yeah... a bit." Not wanting to bother her with his feelings, he moved on. "But it's not just that. I find reading stuff and then writing about it really boring, unless it's about something I like," he admitted.
Anzu smile lovingly. "The life of a superhero makes mundane homework seem dull, eh?" she said, winking at him. Yugi laughed.
"I think you're confusing me with Atem; I'm definitely not the hero."
"Well, I think you are," she stated firmly.
"Really?!" he exclaimed, utterly amazed she would think him heroic.
"Yes!" she said nodding. "I do. Now, let's both be superheroes and finish this stupid assignment."
"Yep! Let's do this!" he said, with renewed enthusiasm for doing the work.
Wanting to do all she could to help him catch up and pass the assignment, Anzu let him copy (in his own words) what she had written. They then made swift work working as a team to finish the rest of it.
Closing their books, they both sat back feeling pleased with themselves.
"That was easier than I thought," said Yugi.
"It was only easy because you seemed to understand what the answer to that last part should be," Anzu told him. She had been very confused when she first read the question.
Yugi shrugged. "I applied my knowledge of games to it," he said casually.
"Proving that playing games is not a waste of time!" Anzu stated proudly. "So, eat that, Miss Chono!" Their snooty teacher was always saying that students who shut themselves away playing games would amount to nothing. The statement irritated Anzu more than it did Yugi and Jonouchi, especially since the two boys had fought life or death battles to save people like her from never ending torment at the hands of Zorc and Bakura.
Yugi laughed. "I think we've proved her wrong," he said smugly. "She has no idea that playing games saved the world!"
Anzu reached over and squeezed his hand. "Definitely! Anyway, I think we've earned a treat, don't you?" she said, getting up and going to the cupboard to retrieve a box of cakes. She offered Yugi one of the sweet pastries. Thanking her, he took one.
"Where are you parents?" he asked, noting that he and Anzu were alone in the house.
"My dad left this morning for a conference in Kyoto and won't be back until Wednesday. My mum has gone out for the day with my grandparents. I could have gone with them but I wanted to take the opportunity of a quiet house to study. But it's nice to have you over for company."
"Hmmm," Yugi hummed, his mind contemplating the romantic things they could do while alone in the house. He shook some of the naughtier thoughts away – don't you dare Yugi.
Anzu took a pastry for herself and sat back down next to him.
He bit into it and nodded his approval. "Mm. Where did you get them?"
"My mum bought them at the new patisserie near the bus station."
"Nice," he said, watching the way her mouth closed around her pastry. Jam squished out as she bit into it, and he found himself suppressing the urge to lean forward and lick it from the corner of her mouth.
Their eyes met and Anzu smiled at him. He smiled back, blushing at the thoughts racing in his mind.
"You've got a bit of jam on your nose," she teased, scooping some of the filling from her pastry and dabbing it on the end of his nose. He yelped, wiping it off his nose with his finger.
"Anzu!" He licked his finger clean. Anzu watched, imagining what it would be like to lick the jam off the digit herself.
She inadvertently licked her lips, finding the jam that had escaped a moment ago, and her face flushed pink when she realised how seductive that must have looked. Yugi smiled at her with an equally embarrassed expression.
He opened his mouth to speak. "Anzu? I wanted to ask…."
Anzu spoke at the same time. "Yugi…? there's something I…"
"You first," they both said in unison, and then laughed.
"What did you want to ask me Yugi?" asked Anzu. She could see how flushed his cheeks were.
"I dunno. I shouldn't even be thinking it. You're going to New York in a few months and I don't want to start something and have it mess up your plans…" He could feel himself faltering.
"I don't think what you're going to ask will mess up my plans at all!" she said encouragingly.
"You don't know what I'm going to ask yet," he replied. Oh, but she did… or at least, hoped she was right.
"Then ask me," she urged.
Taking a breath, he steeled himself. He was not going to mess this opportunity up. "Okay… I've been wanting to ask you for a while, but what with saving the world and all our adventures, it kinda got side-lined," he began. "Do you remember back at Duelist Kingdom, when you said it was me you liked, but then we got interrupted when Mai screamed?" She was nodding so he continued. "Then in the castle, when Keith beat me up and I told you I was ashamed at being too weak to look after you, and that one day I would be strong enough not to lose to the other Me?"
She nodded, starting to wonder where this was going. "It seems an age ago now, doesn't it? But I do remember." She smiled at him, willing him to carry on.
"Well," he said, taking a breath and speaking with resolve and clarity. "I think I'm strong now enough. And if you still like me in that way, I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend?" He looked at her expectantly.
"Of course I still like you, Yugi! I've always liked you! I wouldn't have kissed you yesterday if I didn't!"
"Really?!"
"Yes. Really," she stated firmly. "I would love us to be a couple! In fact, I was beginning to think you'd never ask, so I was about to ask you when you started to ask me," she admitted.
He laughed sheepishly. "I put it off because I was worried you'd turn me down."
"Oh, Yugi… Of course I wouldn't." Did he have that little faith in her?
Relieved by her reassurance, he smiled tentatively. "So, what do you want to do now?" He really wanted to kiss her.
"We could watch a movie, or play games, or just listen to music; whatever you want?" she said.
He shrugged. "I don't mind what we do. I just want to be with you," he replied honestly. The way she blushed coyly and tucked her hair behind her ear made his heart beat faster.
Discarding the rest of her pastry, Anzu stood up and boldly took his hand. "Let's go to my room and we can decide." She had all her own music in her bedroom, and a TV and some games they could play. And a bed.
He shovelled in the rest of his pastry and followed eagerly.
::::::::::::
Inside her room, Yugi sat down on the bed and watched Anzu as she turned on the TV and started looking through her collection of movies. "Anything you want to watch?" She held up a couple of DVD's, knowing that they were not to Yugi's taste.
"Not really," he said, shaking his head.
"Games?" She picked up a pair of game controllers.
"I'm not really in the mood to play games," he said, knowing he would be unable to concentrate with what he hoped was about to happen.
"What do you want to do, then?" she asked suggestively, sitting on the edge of the bed next to him. When he said and did nothing, except look really uncertain, she shuffled closer, so that their thighs and sides were touching. "Sorry. Am I making you feel awkward?" she asked nervously, when he appeared to freeze.
Worried his sudden inability to move might ruin his chances, Yugi forced himself to turn and face her. "No! You're not!" he blurted. "I just. I don't wanna do anything that might put you off," he admitted. Anzu rolled her eyes.
"How long have we known each other Yugi?! You Kissing me certainly won't put me off!" she said, huffing.
Thinking he had annoyed her, he cringed, and turned away again. Sighing, he leaning forward to rest his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. "I'm lousy at romance. I'm messing everything up, aren't I?" He let out a huff. The problem was, they had been friends for so long that he did not want to spoil things by going too fast and pushing too far.
She rubbed his back. "Of course you're not messing things up!" She wasn't doing any better at trying to transition from friends to lovers either.
He turned his head to look at her. "What if I'm a useless lover and you hate it?" he said morosely.
"Yugi! Don't be such an idiot!" This was more like the old Yugi; the one who doubted himself and always held back for fear of getting in the way and annoying people. She stroked the back of his neck with her fingertips. "What if I'm rubbish too?! We could be rubbish together... if you want me that is?"
Eyes wide, he sat up again to face her. "Are you sure?!" he exclaimed, heart racing at what she was hinting at doing.
Smiling, she nodded. "I have never been more sure in my life," she said, her calm voice disguising her fear.
Confidence returning, Yugi smiled back and leaned in to plant a gentle kiss on her lips.
After a few moments, he broke the kiss and pulled back so that he could look into her eyes. "We don't have to move too fast. You dictate how far we go, okay?"
"Okay," she agreed. "Let's relax a little, and see how we both feel, eh?"
He nodded. "Sure," he said softly, and drawn together like magnets, they closed the gap and kissed; hesitantly at first, but soon with a little more confidence.
Anzu shivered when his hand came up to touch her neck just under the ear, and he started to kiss her with more passion. In response, she opened her mouth a little wider, tempting him into a battle of tongues, as they tried different kissing techniques that were new to them both.
Things were getting heated, and wanting to let him know that she was ready to go a little further, Anzu slid her hands down his chest to his waist and then slipped them underneath his shirt. She massaged his back sensually and was impressed by how firm and lean his muscles were. Although she knew he had been working out with Jonouchi and Honda lately, the last time she saw him without a shirt on he had looked like more like a weedy twelve year old.
Anzu did not realise that she had hummed appreciatively into his mouth, until she felt his hand feeling for her breasts through her clothing, and his bodyweight pushing her down onto her back on the bed. It prompted her to let out a little squeak and break their kiss.
"Oh My God! I'm sorry," he said, pushing himself off her. He gasped in surprise when she reached out and pulled him back down roughly.
"Don't apologise," she blurted. "I was just taken by surprise, that's all."
Pausing for a moment, he looked into her face for reassurance. "O... okay. So, you don't mind?"
She grinned. "Of course not! You're doing okay," she reassured him. "How am I doing?"
He licked his lips. "Better than okay. Amazing!" he said breathlessly. "Can I keep kissing you?" She nodded quickly in response.
Yugi did not need telling again, and kissed her passionately. Anzu responded with equal fervour.
Yugi hooked one leg over her thigh, resting it across her legs, and pressed his body against her. To his astonishment she parted her legs, which allowed him to shift his position so that his thigh was between her legs, the action of which went straight to his libido, making him embarrassingly aware his erection was pressing against her groin area.
If Anzu noticed, she did not say anything, but he did notice that she arched into him, which made him want to go further than just kissing and cuddling. Was this proper foreplay, he wondered? Or was it just fooling around?
He was desperately worried he might overstep the mark, so he decided to proceed slowly and gently, and since the zip on her sweater was already undone, he pushed it aside revealing more of the pale blue top that hugged her slender but shapely figure. He gently touched one of her breasts through the material of her top, but tried very hard not to grope – she had made it abundantly clear in the past that she hated boys that groped.
When she did not stop him, but instead kissed him harder and ran her own hands down his back and over his buttocks pressing herself against the hardness in his pants, he took that as a signal that touching her breasts was okay and carried on massaging her through the material of her clothes. Frustratingly though, he could not really feel her pert nipple underneath so he attempted to push her top aside and slip his hand in, but she mumbled her disapproval and put her hand up to pull his hand away.
Mortified at himself for upsetting her, he sat up. "I'm sorry! I thought you were okay with me touching you," he said, hanging his head in shame.
"No! It's not that!" she said, realising that he thought he had done something wrong. "This is a new top," she explained, "I was worried you might tear or stretch it, that's all." A look of relief passed over his face.
"So, you don't mind? I promise I won't do anything you don't like," he said sincerely.
"Tell you what?" she said, forcing away her nervousness at what she was about to suggest. "Why don't you take your shirt off, and I'll take my top off?" His eyes nearly bugged out of his head and he nodded eagerly.
"Sure!" His hands were trembling as he fumbled his shirt buttons undone. He quickly threw his shirt to one side. While he worked to remove his shirt, Anzu's eyes could not help but be drawn to the bulge in his trousers. As much as she yearned to touch him there, to feel what it was like, she was too nervous and lacked the confidence to do so at the moment, but looking at it was causing a warm desire to bubble up inside her.
As soon as he was done removing his shirt, Anzu reached for her own top and pulled it over her head. Yugi watched on longingly, as her shapely breasts encased in a lacy bra was revealed.
"Can I?" he asked, reaching his hand towards her. She nodded, allowing him to run the pads of his fingers over her shoulder, collarbone and throat and then down to her cleavage. Gently stroking her soft skin, he dipped his fingers inside the lacy material, shivering when he felt her pert nipple. Her beauty almost took his breath away. He attempted to tell her how much he wanted her, but all he could do was blush.
Smiling nervously, Anzu reached round to undo the clasp at the back letting her bra fall open. Yugi delicately pushed the straps from her shoulders and she let the item fall to her lap.
Yugi swallowed thickly. "You're beautiful," he breathed, suddenly frightened to touch the wonderful gift she was offering him.
"You're not so bad yourself," she said, batting aside her fears to run her hands over his shoulders, his chest; pausing to rub her thumbs over his nipples, and then sliding her hands down his sides, across to his stomach and… finding the confidence, she let her hand ghost over the front of his jeans, brushing over his erection. She felt his body quivering under her touch.
Losing some of his own nerves, Yugi cupped her breast in his hand and began stroking her nipple with his thumb. He had dreamed of being here like this with her many a time, but never truly believed he would be. The arousal in his pants was growing ever more uncomfortable and he yearned for her to touch him there again, maybe even release the beast from confinement.
With growing confidence, he started kissing her other breast, gently curling his tongue around her nipple and sucking lightly. It was wonderful and he knew he must be doing the right thing, because Anzu was making contented moaning sounds and had buried her hands in his hair and was massaging his scalp.
Having lavished enough attention on her breasts, he was eager for more. Kissing his way back to hack to her lips, he moved his right hand down to her trackie bottoms. The elasticated waist yielded easily and he was able to slip his hand down, fumbling clumsily over her buttocks, hips, pubic hair, and then down between her legs. Hot, wet arousal greeted his fingers as he hesitantly touched her for the first time. He nearly apologised when his finger slipped far too easily inside her.
"Are you okay with me doing this?" he asked instead, worried he was doing something he should not be doing. In response, Anzu nodded and lifted her hips, pushing her clothing down as far as her thighs.
"It's nice. Don't stop," she said, losing her fears to start palming his arousal through the material of his jeans. Anzu had seen pictures of naked men, with their limp, dangly willy's hanging between their legs, but she had never seen an erect one, let alone touch one, all be it through a pair of jeans. Yet here she was touching Yugi's. It felt harder than she had imagined, and big. Her diminutive Yugi was a big boy and she suddenly wanted to get him naked. Anzu was almost embarrassed by her lusty desires.
Desire knowing no bounds, she tried to undo his belt buckle, but it was awkward and she was frustrated that she could not get it undone at the angle he was laying. "Can you help me Yugi?" Only too willing to oblige, he sat up and hastily undid the belt, as well as the button and zip of his jeans. He stood up to take his jeans off, but kept his boxers on out of shyness.
Meanwhile, uninhibited Anzu kicked her trousers and panties off, leaving herself completely naked. She felt exposed and vulnerable, and when Yugi gazed down to admire her she suddenly felt very shy again and instinctively pressed her legs together and covered herself with her arms and hands.
Her shyness did not extend to her eyes though, which were still wantonly on the tent in his boxers.
Yugi caught her looking at him and blushed.
"It's not fair if I'm the only one completely naked," she said shakily, pointing at him. Yugi noticed her shiver as he removed his boxers.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"Yes. Kiss me again?" she asked, worried she was about to lose her nerve now that she could see his manhood in all its glory. She was right about it being big! Or, at least it looked big against his slight frame.
He caught her in another kiss, and together they lay back down, bodies writhing and tangled by their frantic foreplay, their beating hearts almost bouncing out of their chests. This was all so new, and neither had anticipated they would now be on her bed naked and about to have sex for the first time. It occurred to Anzu that maybe this was something they had both wanted for a long time, but had been too shy, or hesitant, to actually do anything about it.
However, despite the nerves she was feeling, it somehow felt right. Yugi felt right – she was just terrified how he would fit inside her without it hurting!
As they kissed, Yugi's fingers tentatively rubbed and probled between her legs.
Anzu tentatively took him in her hand, sliding her thumb over the tip, which she was pleasantly surprised to find was soft and warm and velvety to the touch. The rest of his shaft felt hard and pulsed with desire in her palm though. She felt his finger sliding in and out of her; he was rubbing her clitoris in a way that made her quiver.
"Oh! Yugi… that feels so good… keep going," she encouraged, her legs trembling.
Having no idea that he had accidentally managed to find her clitoris, and elated that she was really enjoying whatever it was he was doing to her, Yugi kept going. A fast learner, he began pushing two fingers in and out, and rubbing the bit she seemed to like him touching, working her up until she arched into his hand, her body trembling and then going rigid as she let out a loud moan. Excited by her orgasmic response, Yugi leaned in and kissed her, relishing the way she moaned into his mouth.
But as nice as this was, what he really desired was for them to both climax together, with him inside her. Driven by his lust rather than any sort of skill, he positioned himself between her legs and clumsily tried to find her vagina with the tip of his penis, but she stopped him.
"D...do you have a condom?" she asked, breathing heavily into his ear.
Disappointed that the moment was delayed, Yugi's shoulders sagged slightly. "Not here," he said. "But there's one downstairs in my backpack!" he remembered - Honda and Jonouchi had suggested they buy a box and shared them between them, just in case they got lucky. Yugi had tucked his condom inside the pouch he kept for his spare cards and put it in his bag.
"You stay here. I'll get it," she said, hopping off the bed and disappearing downstairs.
She was not gone long, and returned with his backpack. Yugi wasted no time finding the small foil pack and undoing it, studying it to double check which way round it went.
Anzu watched as he rolled it onto himself. Despite his shaking hands he still looked like he had practised doing this. "Do you know what you're doing?" she asked shakily. She was surprised when he shook his head.
"Not really, but I've got a good idea," he said. "I'm ready! Are you sure you're still okay doing this?" The interlude to fetch his backpack containing the condom had kind of spoilt the moment a bit, but Anzu still wanted him and was not going to let this opportunity go.
"Yes." She nodded anxiously.
"I'm nervous too," he admitted, "but I promise I'll be gentle. If you want me to stop, tell me, okay?"
"I don't want you to stop," she insisted, as he positioned himself between her legs.
This time, Anzu helped guide him to the right angle, and held her breath when she felt the tip of his penis push inside her a little way. Her muscles instinctively tensed and she told herself to relax.
Yugi felt some resistance. "You okay?" he asked softly, gazing into her eyes and smiling anxiously. "Do you want to stop?" He was worked up and would be disappointed if she did, but he respected her rights and would comply.
"No, keep going. I just need to relax." She had been nice and relaxed before she had run downstairs to get his backpack, but now that the warm glow from her orgasm was gone she needed to get back in the mood. "Touch me again," she asked, taking his hand and guiding it downwards.
Doing as he she wanted, he rubbed and pressed his finger inside her, trying to find the spot he had found before. After a few minutes he removed his finger and positioned his body between her legs again. Keeping eye contact for reassurance, they tried again.
"I'm fine." she said, when he looked unsure. She smiled at him lovingly, but Yugi could see a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.
Nodding, he kissed her gently on the lips. "I love you," he said, pushing himself in a bit more, pausing hesitantly once he was fully sheathed.
Trying not to wince at the sudden intrusion, Anzu clung to him for support. "I love you too, Yugi" she muttered, "It doesn't hurt. It feels nice," she told him. Feeling more comfortable, she wrapped her long, agile legs around his waist, pulling him in deeper. Offering herself in such an intimate and sensual way was nothing to be ashamed of she realised. There was no embarrassment at all in letting herself be vulnerable in the arms of the boy she trusted.
Yugi instinctively started to thrust his hips. He felt her move with him. It felt really nice, gently rocking their bodies in a rhythmic harmony together, and he felt honoured to be the one she had chosen to share this special moment with. Since it was their first time he wanted it to be extra special for her, but he had no idea if his technique was any good.
Unfortunately, any hope he had of demonstrating good technique and bringing her to a wonderful orgasm, went out of the window, when she inadvertently pushed him over the edge. Anzu had heard about ways of giving a man more pleasure by squeezing him inside her using her pelvic floor muscles. Anzu had very strong core muscles from all her ballet. Wanting Yugi to feel more pleasure, she squeezed. Her experiment certainly had the desired effect because he let out a breathless moan and started to tremble.
"Ahhh! Anzu!" He cried. Hearing him cry out her name made her feel so happy.
Trying to stop his climax, Yugi paused his thrusting. Beads of sweat were starting to form on his body from the exertion of trying desperately to contain himself. Unfortunately, he was so wound up that he could not stop it happening. His trembling body tensed up and then released, filling the condom. Having just had an amazing orgasm, he collapsed against her and buried his face in her neck.
Surprised it was over so suddenly, Anzu gently stroked her hands up and down his back. She had no previous experience, but was pretty sure it was supposed to take a bit longer than it had - perhaps that was her fault for using her pelvic floor exercises on him. But in all honestly, as it was her first time she was secretly relieved it had not gone on for too long. And he had already brought her pleasure with his fingers, so she was more than happy. Besides, they were both very inexperienced, so there was plenty of time for them to learn more about the art of love and get better at it.
Yugi lifted his head and kissed her lips, before slowly pulling out of her. "Are you okay?" he asked. For him it was amazing, but he was worried that it was not as enjoyable for her as it was him.
"Yes," she said, nodding. Despite being slightly relived it was over, Anzu was already looking forward to their next time.
This is actually a one-shot. However, if I get lots of lovely feedback and requests for more, I might well do a follow-up chapter.
