A/n- It's time to D-D-D-Duel! This is actually the first time I've written for any Yu-Gi-Oh! anything so hopefully it turned out alright. This story takes place a few years after Yugi's last duel with Atem and follows the anime version where Kaiba was there. Enjoy! Also, for those of you who care about my opinion on FE: Engage, I think it's a really fun game and I enjoyed it a lot. Not top tier like the Elibe games, but just under there with Tellius and Awakening.
The Commission Files- File #a1058 A New Start
Characters: Joey (Yu-Gi-Oh!), Mai (Yu-Gi-Oh!), Yugi (Yu-Gi-Oh!), Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Based on: a commission by lewdershooter on Twitter
"Ya know Yug, I'm still a bit suspicious as to why Kaiba would invite me of all people to this tournament of his. I know he's been a bit nicer since Atem left, but I could have swore he still hated my guts." Joey commented to his best friend Yugi as they were making their way to the Kaiba Coliseum. Kaiba was hosting another big tournament over the weekend and the two of them had gotten special invites stating that Kaiba wanted to meet with them before the event started.
"Well, you did just become the 3rd rated duelist in the world Joey, it would seem kind of petty of him to leave you out." Yugi suggested. "I mean he is petty, but not when it comes to things like this. He knows having you here will attract a bigger crowd. I mean look at how many people are just milling about around the stadium and it's only Wednesday."
"You've got me there Yug, but I'm still gonna have my guard up around him, never know what might be going on in that billionaire brain of his." Joey noted as they got closer. He was scanning the area to see if any other famous duelists were around that might have been invited by Kaiba, but he really wasn't seeing anyone of note. He was about to give up and keep moving on until he finally saw someone familiar that he hadn't seen in a long time. "Hey look! I think that might be Mai over there!" He told Yugi. "Come on! Let's go say hi!"
"Yeah! I haven't seen Mai in a while, I wonder how she's doing." Yugi agreed. So the two of them started to wade towards the crowd towards the woman they though was Mai, but it was too thick and she kept being the same distance away from them. So Joey being Joey, he decided to get her attention the best way he knew how, by being loud.
"Mai! Hey Mai! Mai! Over here!" He called out over the crowd. The woman was in fact Mai Valentine, and she did hear Joey calling out, but she felt like it might be best if she tried to ignore him for now. But unfortunately for her, or fortunately for Joey if you wanted to think about it that way, the crowd saw what was going on and parted so that Joey and Yugi could finally catch up with her.
"Well, well, if it isn't boy with the split personality and the luckiest duelist in the world." Mai commented when they finally reached her. Her comments could be taken as backhanded, but from the tone of her voice she was happy to see the both of them, even if her heart may not have been completely ready for it.
"Some people say luck is a skill, and if that's true I have it in spades!" Joey said with a confident smile. "How's it been Mai? We haven't seen you in a while, everything going okay with you?"
"Yeah, I heard you recently came back to dueling and won some pretty impressive tournaments as well." Yugi added. "So much so that you got back into the Top 5 rankings." Mai felt a bit weird being in a conversation like this with the two of them. They were talking like the three of them were friends, like they didn't even remember some of the nasty things she did to them. It was what she wanted, but deep down she still kind of felt like she didn't deserve it.
"Yes, yes, that's all true." Mai confirmed. "Like I told Joey before I went off on my own again I took a deep look into myself to find out what kind of woman I really am and what kind of person I want to be. Turns out that I missed the thrill of competition after all that time so I slowly started making my way back up the rankings, legitimately this time. I actually got to meet a lot of really interesting people once I focused more on competition aspect than on myself or winning. But I can honestly say that none of them still compare to you two and your group of friends.
"Aww, you hear that Yug? She likes us." Joey teased, getting Yugi and Mai to chuckle a bit. "Well, I won't lie, since I hadn't been following the rankings like Yug here I was a bit worried about ya Mai. But now that you're here and I see you're doing so well for yourself, I'm happy for ya, truly."
"Thank you Joey, that means a lot coming from a man such as yourself." Mai replied with a wink that made Joey blush a bit.
"Speaking of being here, what brings you to Kaiba's tournament?" Yugi asked. "Did you want to finally test your skills on a bigger stage or do Kaiba invite you here like he did with us?"
"Well, I was planning on coming anyways, but last week I did in fact receive an invitation from Kaiba himself." Mai explained. "I take it you two are here to meet him today as well."
"Yeah, I think he has something cooking for this tournament." Joey stated. "And I think Yugi here knows about it but he won't tell me, his best friend, anything about it."
"Joey, if I was allowed to tell you I would, you know that." Yugi stated. "But everything you'll want to know will be answered here today, so just keep it calm and things will run smoothly."
"Fine, fine, I can be patient when I want ta be." Joey stated. After that the three of them got to the entrance to the stadium and Kaiba's guards let them in and led them to the elevator which they took up to the top floor and then walked to an office room where Kaiba was waiting for them.
"About time the three of you got here." Kaiba stated as they walked up.
"Hello to you too Kaiba." Joey glared back at him.
"Joey, be nice." Yugi told him.
"Hey, if you two want to brawl it out here and now I can be the judge." Mai joked, which did lighten the mood a bit.
"I will not stoop to the level of internet lowlifes like that, thank you very much." Kaiba commented before taking a briefcase from the floor and opening it. "Before we head in to the office room I'm gonna need the three of you to put any electronic devices you have in this case for the time being. What I'm about to tell you is top secret Kaiba Corp. information and if it were to get leaked this whole event would be all for naught and a huge waste of my money."
"Sure, all I've got is my cell phone." Yugi said putting his in without complaint.
"You're guards better not go through my pictures or contacts, or I will sue you Kaiba, honey." Mai commented as she put her cell phone and card information tablet into the case.
"Just make sure mine doesn't get broken, I can't really afford to get a new one." Joey said putting his in as well.
"Thank you, now we can proceed." Kaiba said opening up the door to the office. The four of them stepped in and the only pieces of furniture was a small round table with a four chairs around it. No cameras, no windows, barely even a ventilation system. The door was closed and locked behind them and Kaiba took a seat at the table. "You'll see before you on the table card packs with your most known and famous monster printed on them, please sit down and next to yours."
"New cards? Awesome!" Joey said sitting down at the spot with the Red-Eyes pack.
"I've been wanting some new Harpie Lady support cards." Mai commented as she sat down next to her pack. Yugi was silent as he took his seat by the Dark Magician pack.
"As you open your packs you'll see that each one comes with five never before seen or played cards, one main deck monster, one normal spell, one trap card, one archetype specific fusion card, and a fusion monster to go with it." Kaiba explained. "I'm expecting the three of you to alter your decks to use these cards so you can show off how powerful they are."
"Hey, isn't this kinda cheating Yug?" Joey wondered. "I mean we get all these powerful cards and such while the other duelists get nothing, doesn't seem that fair ta me."
"Kaiba has it covered." Yugi assured him.
"Of course I do." Kaiba stated confidently. "Everyone I invited to participate in the tournament knows about the cards and what they can do even if they don't get them. And they've all been compensated fairly for playing at a disadvantage by getting to design one card for themselves that will go with the packs when they release worldwide."
"Seems you've covered all your bases Kaiba, as expected from someone as determined and detail focused as yourself." Mai complimented them. "I have no problems with this, and these cards seem pretty powerful as well, so thank you. But shouldn't you be getting new cards as well?"
"And how are we sure your cards aren't just gonna negate everything our cards are gonna do since you're running this whole thing?" Joey added.
"That's where Yugi comes in to the picture." Kaiba noted. "To make sure that me or any Kaiba Corp. employees overpowered my cards I had Yugi design their effects based on the artwork because he's known for playing fair but also being competitive."
"Exactly, so here you go, five brand new Blue-Eyes cards to add to your deck." Yugi said sliding a card pack over to Kaiba who immediately opened them up to see what they could do.
"So you knew about this the whole time?" Joey asked Yugi as Kaiba looked over his cards.
"Yeah, Kaiba told me to keep it a secret and I didn't see why I shouldn't. It's not like he's doing anything sinister, he's just trying to hype up dueling and cards like he always does." Yugi explained.
"I can understand wanting to keep things under the table like this." Mai noted. "Imagine the crowd reaction when we actually summon these monsters, they are going to love it." After she said that Kaiba was done looking at his new cards and he was pleased with what Yugi had given him.
"These cards are very powerful Yugi, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into giving me these." Kaiba said confidently.
"Oh, I know they are." Yugi replied back just as confidently. "It'll make beating you once again feel even better."
"We'll see about that." Kaiba noted. "Speaking of that though, would you mind staying a bit longer and making sure these cards work with the dueling holograms and such, I need to make sure the computers understand how all the rulings work before the tournament begins."
"Yeah, sure." Yugi nodded.
"Wheeler, Valentine, thank you for coming, I look forward to seeing what you can do with your new cards, but for now you are dismissed." Kaiba stated before he and Yugi left the room to go to the control center of the stadium.
"Well, that was certainly a surprise. I didn't think I'd be getting some new cards so soon." Mai commented as she and Joey stood up and started to leave the stadium the way they came.
"Yeah, and Kaiba was actually pretty nice to me for once. I guess Yugi is right in saying he's softening up a bit." Joey added as they got into the elevator. "Hey Mai, what hotel are you staying in? Maybe we can test our new cards together sometime before the tournament starts."
"I'm staying at the Obelisk Towers, room 307." Mai answered. "And yeah, that sounds like a good idea."
"Room 307 you say? That's the room right next to the one Yugi and I are staying in." Joey noted. "What a coincidence, I'm surprised we didn't run into you sooner then. Well, you don't mind if we walk back together right?"
"That's very sweet of you Joey, but I was actually thinking of getting some dinner before I went back to my room." Mai replied before biting her lip as she thought about saying something to Joey. She mulled it over a bit and finally decided on what to say as the two of them were exiting the elevator. "Joey, wait! Why don't you come to dinner with me and then we can walk back to the hotel together?"
"Really? You'd want me ta come with ya?" Joey asked with a smile. "Well sure, I'd love to catch up some more! Where were you thinking about going?"
"Of course I'd want you to come Joey." Mai assured him with her own small smile since he accepted. "There is this small Italian restaurant run by an older couple and their son just a few blocks from here, they have the best Penne Arrabiata I've ever eaten."
"Sounds like a fancy place." Joey noted. "I don't gotta dress up or anything for it do I?"
"No, no, of course not, it's a very casual restaurant. What you have on is just fine." Mai told him.
"Well then, what are we waiting for? I love a good pasta dish!" Joey said excitedly. So the two of them walked to the restaurant and like Mai noted it was very small and casual, just the place to eat and chat with someone who you hadn't seen in a while. And that's just what Joey and Mai did as they ate. They told each other what they had been up to, laughed about funny stories that had happened to them, retold the tales of some of the epic duels that they had been in, stuff like that. Eventually though Mai started talking about some more serious stuff, opening up to Joey about her childhood and having to deal with her parent's death at a young age, that being the reason why she felt lonely all the time.
"Jeez, look at me, trauma dumping on you when we're supposed to be having a fun time." Mai noted when she realized what she had been talking about.
"Hey, everyone has those issues that stay with ya no matter how old ya are." Joey assured her. "And it's always good ta talk things out with someone willing ta listen to ya. Makes you feel better knowing that someone understands ya, ya know?"
"I will say I do feel better now that I've gotten it off my chest." Mai answered. "Thank you for listening to all that Joey, you really are a really great guy."
"Well, you can thank Yugi for that one, I used ta actually be a bit of a bully, but he set me on the straight and narrow. And look where that got me." Joey replied.
"You may think that it's all him, but I have a feeling you would have come around eventually." Mai said taking a sip of her drink as she smiled at him. "And just because I feel like I need to apologize again, I'm truly sorry for all the nasty things I did to you and your friends in the past, I let my loneliness get the best of me when I shouldn't have and it just spiraled from there."
"Hey, after hearing all you had to say, I get it." Joey assured her. "And there are no hard feelings, from me, Yugi, or any of the other's really. None of us ever speak of you in a bad light. In fact, we're always wondering when you'd show back up so we could finally invite you into our group for reals. I'm sure Tea would love to have another woman around for when us guys get a bit rowdy."
"Joey...That's very thoughtful of you all, but I'm not quite sure if I'm at the place I want to be to be able to do that yet." Mai admitted. "It's a very tempting offer, and it's one I do want to take in the future. I just want to make sure I don't hurt any of you with my actions."
"Well, why don't you just take it slow then?" Joey said taking out a piece of paper and pen from his jacket and writing something down. "Here. This is my phone number, if you ever need anything or if you just want to chat or need someone to vent to just call me and I'll be there to help."
"You just are the sweetest guy aren't you?" Mai replied with a bit of a blush as she took the paper. "Thank you Joey, this means a lot to me, truly. And I might as well give you my number as well in case you need to contact me." So she pulled out her own slip of paper and borrowed Joey's pen to write it down. The first time she tried writing it she had to cross it out though. "Sorry, force of habit for writing down the wrong number." She explained before she wrote down the real number and handed it over to Joey.
"Alright! Now we can keep in touch whenever and I won't have to keep worrying about what might be happening with you." Joey said happily.
"You really worried about me that much?" Mai wondered.
"Yeah, of course. You basically left and fell off the face of the earth." Joey noted. "And I really wanted the chance to make things right between us eventually. And now I can do that and more."
"And thoughtful as well, I bet you have the ladies all over you." Mai commented, though she was partly fishing for information.
"Eh, sometimes." Joey noted. "But like, those women don't really know the real me ya know? They just think I'm cute and a good duelist, but there is so much more to me than that."
"I know that for a good fact." Mai replied. "You're also very brave and heroic when you need to be."
"What can I say, sometimes I'm too dumb to be scared by things." Joey joked which got the two of them to laugh together. After that they finished up their meals and paid the bill for it before walking back to their hotel and taking the elevator up to where they were staying. Once again Mai was thinking about something in the elevator, something to do with Joey, and once again when they got out and Joey was about to enter his room she stopped him again.
"Hey Joey, I actually have something I want to show you, you mind coming into my room for a bit?" She asked him.
"Yeah! Of course!" Joey said with a smile. So Mai opened the door to her room and Joey came in after her. Once the door closed though Mai turned around to face him, locked the door behind them, and then planted a big kiss on his lips. It was fair to say that Joey wasn't expecting something quite like this, but then again he wasn't gonna complain about it either.
"So, what do you think?" Mai asked when she pulled back from the kiss. She was taking a bit of a gamble doing this here and now, but she knew what she wanted and she wanted it now.
"Well, I hafta say I wasn't expecting that." Joey noted with a bit of a smirk. "But it was nice, I wouldn't mind doing it some more."
"Good, because I wasn't planning on stopping at just one." Mai replied before kissing him again. But before Joey could really get into it he had to make sure of something.
"Mai, I just hafta ask. This isn't one of your spur of the moment things is it?" He asked. "Like you're not making a rash decision based on being lonely like you talked about before are ya? Because I don't want to take advantage of you if that's what it is."
"No Joey, this isn't about me being lonely." Mai assured him. "This is about me liking you and showing you how I feel. Honestly I've been wanting to tell you for a while, ever since Yugi's duel with Atem, but I felt that I had to get myself right before I took my chance. And talking with you today, letting myself be vulnerable and you taking me seriously, just solidified how I felt. So no, I'm not making a rash decision, I'm making a calculated gamble, something you're quite adept at."
"Jeez, I am a lucky guy aren't I?" Joey replied with a chuckle. "But on a serious note, I do like you back Mai. Ever since you helped us out during Pegasus' tournament I just knew there was something about you that caught my eye. I always knew deep down that you were and are a good person, kind and thoughtful, just wanting to live life in the way you want to. I just never thought I'd be lucky enough to catch your eye honestly. Always thought you'd find that perfect man who had everything and I'd just have to watch and be happy for you." Mai just had to chuckle at that statement of his. "What?"
"Joey, you may not think it, but you're my perfect match who has everything. At least everything I want." Mai told him. "You've got friends, a career that's fun and fulfilling, and you're happy. That's all I've ever wanted in life really. And, well, I feel that's just another thing I could get being with you. I know that's a bit selfish, but it's the truth."
"Hey, everyone wants to be happy and surrounded by friends." Joey assured her. "And if being together gives you that, then that's great because I want you to be happy and content with your life."
"Well, as long as we have that settled, do mind getting back to kissing? I was really getting into it." Mai teased. So they started kissing again, slowly ramping up the passion and feeling behind each one as they slowly moved over to the bed in the room. Joey sat on the edge of it and let Mai sit on his lap as they continued to make out. Eventually though Mai started slipping her hands in and around Joey's clothes, starting to take them off, and he had to pause for a moment.
"Hey Mai, just how far are you expecting this to go?" He asked her.
"As far as you want to go, why do you ask?" Mai wondered.
"Well, it's just ahh, I can't believe I'm saying this now." Joey started to sputter.
"Is something wrong Joey, you can tell me." Mai assured him.
"It's just, well, if we went all the way with this, it would be, ya know, my first time." Joey finally got out.
"Really? That's a bit surprising." Mai noted. "But nothing to be ashamed of though, everyone has to have a first time for everything. Or were you wanting it to be a more special and thought out occasion?"
"Thanks Mai, that actually does make me feel a bit better." Joey replied, calming down a bit. "And no, I just don't wanna disappoint ya with how inexperienced I am or how long I'll last."
"Believe me Joey, I've been with some pretty disappointing men before, I honestly don't think you'd even sniff being as bad as them." Mai assured him. "Besides, I actually like you so that automatically makes you better than any of them right off the bat. So you just sit your pretty little face and butt right there and let me take care of you alright?"
"A-Alright." Joey stuttered, blushing again because Mai had turned on her seductive voice. But she did as she said she would, she slowly continued to take Joey's clothes off as they continued to kiss and make out. Eventually Joey was completely naked and Mai could see what she was working with.
"Hm, very well maintained down there Joey, it looks nice." She complimented with a seductive smile."
"Well, I am some sort of celebrity, gotta look good in case anyone gets some random pictures of me." Joey joked. "But honestly, I just prefer it being nice and clean down there, one less thing to worry about ya know?"
"I know how you feel on that one." Mai agreed. "Of course, why just take my word for it when I can show you?" She teased him as she got off his lap and started shedding her own clothing. She went nice and slow to give him a bit of a show, taking off her vest and sleeves first before slowly undoing the strings on her top and letting it fall to the floor, her breasts now exposed for him to see. "Everything you imagined they would be?" She teased him.
"That and more. Did they get bigger somehow?" Joey wondered.
"Not exactly." Mai noted. "Ever since Pegasus' tournament I've been wearing clothes that downplay their size a bit, something about parents not wanting kids to see my cleavage on TV when I duel."
"Well, I think they look and fit ya perfectly Mai!" Joey replied. Mai just smirked at him and continued to strip, taking off her boots and socks before undoing the belt on her skirt and letting it fall near her top. She paused and took a deep breath before she took off her panties though. The last time she bared herself like this wasn't a good feeling, but she knew Joey wasn't like that. So she slowly slid them down and took a confident stance in front of him. "Mai, I know you've probably heard so many guys say this to ya, but hot damn are you sexy. I think you might be the most attractive woman I've ever met."
"You're right, I have heard that dozens of times." Mai told him. "But coming from you means more than all those other times combined. Now spread your legs apart a bit so I can get in there better."
"Um, alright." Joey said doing as Mai asked. After he spread them apart enough Mai knelt down on the floor so she was in a position where her face was right in front of Joey's crotch.
"Let's see if you get any bigger with this." Mai teased him before starting to kiss and lick his shaft up and down slowly. Joey's cock was already a pretty impressive size, but Mai didn't know if that's all he was packing so she wanted to make sure. As soon as she started doing that Joey started to moan and make pleasured noises, though he was trying to hold them in to not sound embarrassing. "Don't hold yourself back Joey, I want to know how you're really feeling." Mai told him since she could tell.
"It feels so good already!" Joey moaned. "I honestly don't know how long I'm gonna last."
"Just take deep breaths and try to stay calm." Mai noted. "And if something does happen, well we can always try again." Hearing her say that actually did calm him down some and he was able to steady his breath and take a bit more control back from his body. Once again Mai could tell from how he was reacting so she moved on and took his cock in her mouth and started giving him a proper blowjob.
"Keep moving your tongue like that Mai, that's what's getting me going!" Joey moaned out after a bit of her doing that. If she wanted him to tell her how he felt then he was going to let her know everything. Mai took the tip and started moving her tongue all over his cock as she blew him, focusing it more around his tip since she knew most guys were more sensitive there. She periodically picked up the pace and each time Joey felt he might cum but he was able to hold himself back, until eventually he knew he couldn't take it any more. "Mai, I'm about to blow!" So she pulled back right before he came and took a look at what had happened.
"Hm, I thought this lipstick wasn't supposed to leave marks." She commented seeing all the lipstick kiss marks on Joey's cock. Joey looked down and saw what she meant and the two of them couldn't help but laugh at the situation.
"That looks like something you'd see in a dirty cartoon or something." Joey chuckled as Mai went to go get a wet towel to clean his shaft off.
"Here, I'll be gentle with it so you don't go off." She said slowly cleaning all the lipstick off of his dick. Eventually it was clean, and still at full mass, so Mai was ready for more if Joey was. "You still want to do this Joey?"
"Yeah, I'm having fun." Joey noted. "Just one thing, should I put a condom on or something, I honestly can't promise I'd be able to pull out in time."
"No need, I'm on the pill." Mai answered. "You can cum whenever and wherever you want."
"That's a load off my back." Joey replied in relief before Mai stood up and turned her back to him. "You gonna sit on my lap again?"
"Yeah, I think that's a good way to go with this." Mai replied before backing into Joey's lap again. She lined herself up so when she sat down his dick would slid right in and then did just that, earning yet another moan from the lucky duelist. But it wasn't only him who was feeling good now, Mai let out a long moan of her own from the feeling of being penetrated and filled up by his shaft. When she finally got all the way down she stopped and Joey wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her steady. "You feeling okay?" She asked him.
"I feel great! Your insides feel so warm and inviting, kind of like they were made for this." He joked, getting Mai to laugh again. "How about you? I know I might not be the most impressive guy you've been with but-"
"Joey, you feel great inside me!" Mai cut him off. "Your cock feels to be just the perfect size for me, like a glove almost."
"Well, look at me being lucky at something else." Joey teased. "So what now, do I just thrust like this?" He asked bucking his hips into Mai's body. When he did she gave off another cute moan and Joey smirked. "I'll take that as a yes." So he started thrusting into her at a slow but steady pace, making sure not to go too fast and burst his bubble too quickly. Mai for her part also joined in by lifting herself up and down and shaking her hips around so Joey's dick could move around and try to find some of her sensitive spots. She was hoping that his ridiculous luck would allow him to find them quickly, and sure enough he did.
"God Joey, that feels so good!" She moaned out as he hit all of her spots in succession. "Keep going, just like that, just a bit faster."
"You want faster? I can give you faster." Joey replied confidently as he moved his pace up even more. Though he could feel he was getting closer to cumming by the moment, especially with Mai's insides clamping down on him every time he thrusted and hit one of her sensitive spots. But before he finished off, he did want to do one thing, so he moved his hands from Mai's waist and moved them up to her chest so he could hold them in his hand and play with them.
"I was wondering when you'd want to play with these." Mai commented through her moaning when she felt Joey's hand's on her chest. She slowly moved her own hand up to one of them to show him something. "I really like it when they get pinched like this, it really turns me on."
"Really now?" Joey noted with a smirk. "So what would happen if I did it to both of them at the same time?" He didn't let Mai answer before he did just that and pinched her breasts like she showed him at the same time. Mai let out another long moan and she tightened up once again around Joey's shaft, making him strain out another long moan trying to hold himself together.
"Keep doing that Joey, I'm almost there, just a bit more." Mai moaned a few moments later.
"Me too, I can't hold it any more!" Joey moaned back, knowing he couldn't hold back any more.
"Then do it! Cum inside me and make me yours!" Mai practically shouted in pleasure and that was just what Joey needed to tip him over the edge and start filling up Mai's body with all his hot and sticky ropes of cum that he had been storing up for a long time. As soon as she felt his cum hit her insides Mai orgasmed as well, clamping down even harder and practically milking the seed out of Joey's cock. Eventually though the two of them came down from the high of getting off together and they laid back on the bed, catching their breath and thinking about what they had just done.
"That, that was pretty intense Mai." Joey finally commented. "I hope that it wasn't too bad for you."
"Joey, you did perfectly." Mai assured him as she cupped his cheek in her hand and gave him another kiss. "For a first time, that was really impressive. Or maybe it's just because we know each other so well."
"Well, whatever it was, I really liked it. I could see doing it again. And again. And again." Joey teased, getting another breathy laugh out of Mai.
"You're so funny Joey, that's another thing I like about you. You don't take yourself too seriously and you're so comfortable with yourself. I could learn a thing or two from you." Mai noted.
"Hey, just stick with me Mai and you'll be that person you know you can be, trust me!" Joey said confidently before realizing something about what he stated. "About that though, does this mean we're like a couple now?"
"Do you want to be?" Mai asked, not wanting to pressure him into it if he didn't want to.
"Yeah, I do. I just wanted to know for sure so our wires don't get crossed when I tell other people about it." Joey noted. "But that brings up another thought, where exactly are you living at the moment, is it close to Domino City?"
"Not exactly." Mai replied, not having really thought about it too much. "I mean it's not too far away, but it's far enough away that it would take a while to see each other." Then her eyes lit up from an idea. "But it doesn't really matter does it? We're both some of the best duelists in the world right? We'll just meet up whenever we go to events like this. If that's alright with you."
"Hey, yeah, that sounds like a great idea Mai!" Joey said smiling back. "But I'm still gonna call you and stuff as well to keep in touch, that's what a good boyfriend does you know."
"You're right on that one Joey, and I appreciate your enthusiasm." Mai replied with her own smile before sighing. "I can't remember the last time was in a real relationship, this feels so nice already."
"I know what you mean Mai, I already feel like something that was missing is now where it should be." Joey agreed. "It's nice knowing someone out there cares for ya."
"That is very true." Mai noted before eventually getting a better look at Joey's naked form. He was actually quite in shape. He was still slim of course, but she could tell he had muscles and such as well. It was really turning her on again and she wasn't gonna let this opportunity slip through her grasp again. "So, you said you could see us doing that again. You think you could muster up enough stamina to go again?"
"For you Mai, I could go all night!"
