Chapter 22!

Last Chapter! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the for the wait!

After Yusei relieved himself, he went over to Akiza and her parents. Trudge and Mina had to left to get something to eat. However, something still troubled him and he waited until he had a chance to talk.

"Mr. Izinski," Yusei said, "Why exactly did you announce Akiza and me to the crowd of people?"

"Well that's easy," Mr. Izinski replied, "I wanted to let everyone know that I approved of you two."

Yusei was stunned, but Akiza wasn't. "Are you sure?" Yusei asked and the senator nodded.

Akiza then smiled at Yusei and took his hand. "Yusei and I are going to go walk around the party some more," Akiza said.

"All right," her mother replied, "We'll see if Trudge needs anymore meatballs."

The four of them departed and went their separate ways. However, Akiza suddenly made a left and took Yusei up the grand staircase.

"Akiza, do you need to use the restroom or something?" Yusei asked.

"No, but I need you for something," she said slyly. Yusei wondered what it was. She soon lead them to his room and Akiza shut the door. Yusei kept an eye on the lock, which Akiza luckily didn't lock.

"Akiza," Yusei said nervously, "What are you doing?"

She turned to him and smiled.

"I figured that if we got to kiss in my room, now it's time to kiss in your room." Yusei looked at the bed, at the corner of his eye.

"We're not going to be..."

"No," Akiza said, "My Dad would kick you out if we did that. Besides, we're both waiting until marriage."

'Marriage,' Yusei thought, but the thought soon left his head, as Akiza and him started kissing each other.

The next day...

Yusei had the day off, however, Akiza decided to follow him to his house. At breakfast, she asked her parents if it was okay.

"Of course," her father replied, "If he can be your servant, we most certainly trust him being with you."

Akiza and Yusei quickly got out of their seats and smiles grew across their face.

"Thanks Dad," Akiza said. "Yes. Thank you Mr. Izinski," Yusei said.

"But..." Akiza and Yusei's smiles went away at his words. "I don't want anything 'inappropriate' happening between you two."

"We know Dad," Akiza said, "Both of us are saving our first time for marriage. Don't worry."

"Well, I just wanna be sure," he said, "Now go have fun."

Akiza and Yusei quickly got going and they headed over on Yusei's runner. While red blushes were across their faces as they rode, both of them couldn't help, but enjoy being so close to one another. Especially now that they knew the other returned their feelings.

When they got there, Jack and Crow were sitting on the couch. Once again, they felt the urge to indulge in Yusei's food.

"Man, this oatmeal Yusei got is really good," Jack said.

Yusei opened the door for Akiza and they walked in.

"Crow! Jack!" Yusei yelled, "What are you two eating?"

"Oatmeal," Crow said with a mouthful of oatmeal. He showed him the box and the sticky note Yusei had waved. Crow then noticed who was standing next to him and quickly put his bowl down. He then ran up to a metal table and picked up a piece of paper.

"I haven't seen you in so long," Crow said, "There's something you didn't do for me last time." Akiza stared at him. "Can I have your autograph?"

Akiza stared at the paper. "You still have that flier?" Akiza asked. Crow nodded and Akiza shrugged. "Okay, get me a pen and I'll sign."

"Great!" Crow said and went to get one. As he did, Yusei went over to the box of oatmeal.

"This is my oatmeal," he said as he picked it up, "And you guys keep eating it."

"Well, I won't be stuck eating it soon," Jack said. Yusei gave him a confused look. "I'm moving out."

"With who?" Yusei asked. Jack raised a hand and showed him a ring.

"Wait...you and Carly..."

"That's right," Jack said, "We had so much fun, while you were working, that I never got around to tell you that I got engaged."

"Okay," Yusei said, "What else have I missed?"

"Nothing much," Jack said, "Just that Jack Atlas beat two professional duelists."

Meanwhile, Crow had found a pen for Akiza and made his way to her. "Here," he said.

"Okay," Akiza said, "I'll sign here. Since you love them so much."

"No!" Crow said, "That'll ruin it!"

"Okay then, right here." She moved it to her mid-section.

"No!" Crow said.

"Here," she said over groin.

"Not there!"

"This seems right over my legs."

"No!" Crow complained again.

"Then where do you want it?" Akiza asked.

Crow pointed to a blank spot next to the picture. Akiza rolled her eyes and started signing.

"So you beat two pros?" Yusei asked, "Now what?"

"Well a few sponsors have called," Jack said, "One magazine thought I might be a Rookie of the Year contender."

"Wow," Yusei said, "I guess that you'll want a new wife by your side as you work your way up the ranks."

Jack blushed, which was a rarity for him. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Yusei shrugged. "So when's the big day?"

"We don't know yet," Jack said, "But it was one of the best decision I ever made."

Yusei turned to Akiza, who was annoyed by Crow gawking over her flier. He narrowed his eyes and knew he had to do something.

As the day moved along, the four of them soon went out for lunch. As they walked, Yusei made sure to stay close to Akiza and also kept an eye on Crow. Akiza smiled that Yusei was so protective of her, even if she knew he wouldn't be able to stop Crow from looking at her.

When they got back, the guys played and worked on their runners. Since Akiza didn't have hers, she sat around looking bored. Not to mention that she didn't know how they worked and felt rather dumb. However, to Jack and Crow's surprise, Yusei stopped working many times to talk with her and comfort her. Jack and Crow rolled their eyes as he explained it to her in simple terms and Yusei helped Akiza feel better about herself. When Akiza went to the bathroom, Jack and Crow talked to Yusei.

"Yusei," Crow said, "Do you think you could save all the hugging and stuff for when you're alone?"

"No," Yusei said, "If Akiza needs comfort, no matter the time or place, then I'll be sure to give it to her."

"Geeze," Jack said, "If you love her so much, then why don't you marry her? Like Jack Atlas did!"

'Well maybe I will,' Yusei thought.

Over the next week, Yusei and Akiza got to be closer than ever. Akiza's parents took notice and decided that they deserved to go out together for dinner. Just the two of them.

The date went well, even though neither talked much. Although it was pretty hard when you're almost spending 24 hours a day with the person you love. They had gone to dinner and movie, which they left early from to make sure they got home on time. Yusei didn't want Akiza's father to think they were doing something that might upset him.

Although, there was one thing that they were sure never to forget.

Yusei had just taken a shower and stepped onto a towel. He looked at himself in the mirror and wondered if he really looked attractive, in Akiza's eyes.

"Hey," he said slyly, "You're Yusei Fudo. The guy that likes Akiza. How do think she feels about your body?"

"Well, while I know I'm not perfect physically, Akiza will still see the true beauty in me," he said.

Akiza walked by and her Yusei talking to himself.

"Hey, you might not be the sexiest man alive, but that Akiza sure is quite a catch!"

Akiza blushed at the statement and covered her mouth, to avoid Yusei from hearing her giggle.

"She sure is," he continued, "Not to mention that I'm getting fully excited right now just thinking about her!"

"Yusei," Akiza called, "Can I come in?"

"I'm fully excited!" Yusei said, "So yeah baby!"

"Okay," Akiza said and opened the door.

Akiza and Yusei suddenly looked at one another. For a moment, Yusei forgot he was naked and he quickly covered his groin and screamed. Akiza quickly shut the door and each took a moment to take a breath.

"Why'd you come in?" Yusei asked.

"I asked if I could and you said, 'Yeah baby!'"

"Well..." Yusei didn't know how to say it any better, "How much did you see?"

"Well...I saw your...thing...and it's...well... small."

There was a moment of silence.

"Oh crap!" Yusei yelled.

On Yusei's next day off, he decided that he had to out and buy a ring for Akiza. However, despite making good money as Akiza's servant, he still didn't have enough to afford a nice, new ring. That meant that he'd have to find one that was used.

Yusei made his way to a used store and they had a wide selection of rings. Despite many of them being half off their original price or more, Yusei knew that he had to get one that showed his love for her. Something that could make her smile.

After spending over an hour deciding which ring would be perfect for Akiza, he finally found one.

A few days later...

Yusei went to Akiza's father. Despite already saying that he was proud that they were a couple, Yusei worried that the ring he got might not be good enough for her father's standards.

He knocked on his office door. "May I come in?" he asked.

"Of course," Mr. Izinski said as he put some papers away. Yusei sat down at a chair in front of his wooden desk.

"Now, what did you want to talk to me about?" Mr. Izinski asked.

"Well sir...I know that you approve of Akiza and me being a couple, but I want to be more than that."

Akiza's father narrowed his eyes.

"I want to become her husband and so I'm asking for your daughter's hand in marriage."

The senator still held his firm face. 'Maybe if I show him the ring, he'll accept,' Yusei thought.

Yusei pulled out a red box from his pocket and looked away. He then opened it, as his eyes closed shut.

"I hope this is good enough for your daughter," he said nervously.

The senator smiled. "Yusei you didn't have to do this," he said.

Yusei opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"My wife and I would love to have you marry our daughter. If you would have proposed and not asked me, we still would accept. It seems that you take great care of her and she really enjoys how protective you are of her. She loves you Yusei and it's clear you feel the same. You can tell when you both are together that you share something that many people dream of."

"And what is that?" Yusei asked. Akiza's father smiled.

"True love."

Yusei smiled at thought. Akiza and him truly loving one another made his heart smile.

"Thank you sir," he said. He stood up and they shook hands. Yusei closed the box and put it back into his pocket.

The following evening, the Izinski parents had to go to a "sudden political meeting." While Akiza was surprised by the news, Yusei knew what it really meant. As Akiza waited for dinner, Yusei was in the kitchen cooking.

When he came out, he lifted the cover and revealed the dinner was the same one he had cooked for her weeks before. While the steak was a little overcooked and the baked potatoes were a little hard in a spot, it still looked and tasted delicious.

As Akiza and Yusei ate, Akiza couldn't help, but notice that Yusei was eating rather slowly. Normally, she had seen him scarf down food, but he seemed to be acting differently. Akiza finished well before him and waited for him to finish.

When he was done, Akiza couldn't help, but ask, "Is something wrong Yusei?" He nodded.

"What is it?" she asked in a concerned tone.

Yusei took a deep breath and took her hand. He then got down on one knee and looked up to her.

"Akiza, being your servant is the best thing in the whole wide world, because I get to be with you all the time. However, I hope you'll let me move up in the world from servant to husband."

Akiza gasped and put a hand in front of her mouth. Yusei pulled out the red box and opened it. Akiza gasped again, when she saw the ring.

"Akiza Izinski, will you marry me?"

Akiza nodded, as tears started to flow, and Yusei stood up. He put it on Akiza's hand and Akiza lifted it to look at it.

"Oh Yusei, it's beautiful! It looks so shiny and new!"

"Well..." Yusei said sadly, "I'm sorry to say, but it's not new. I got it at a used store because I didn't have enough money." He looked down, with a frown.

"I'm sorry." He closed his eyes and Akiza stopped crying.

After a brief moment, Yusei felt two long arms wrap around his shoulders. He opened his eyes to see Akiza smiling at him.

"I don't care if it's used," she said, "It shows your love to me and that's all that matters."

She leaned in for a kiss and Yusei leaned in, to return the favor. The kiss got deeper and they got to explore each other's mouths and enjoy their sweet taste.

They leaned back, when they both ran out of breath, and smiled at one another.

"We're forgetting one thing," Yusei said. He went back into the kitchen and brought out two slices of strawberry cheesecake. They each took a seat and, before they dived in, Yusei and Akiza looked at one another.

"Do you want me to feed you?" Akiza asked. Yusei blushed, but nodded. They moved their seats next to one another and each took a bit out of the cheesecake. They then slid the forks gently into their mouths.

_Flash Forward_

Akiza and Yusei each have a fork in each other's mouths, this time though, it had white and black cake. Yusei and Akiza were in their wedding outfits. Yusei had a black tux and clip-on blck tie. Akiza a gorgeous white dress with long white gloves and a vail. It showed her shoulders and was frilly at the bottom. While it was a little tighter around her chest and waist, it wasn't skin tight and left room for Akiza to comfortably breathe. Akiza had it custom fitted and made sure it covered her cleavage. After all, now that she was married, there was only one man she wanted to stare at her chest.

As for the wedding party, Yusei and Akiza had gotten close to Leo and Luna as they planned for their wedding. They had similar outfits to Yusei and Akiza, for the ring barrier and flower girl, and everyone thought they looked like a adorable little couple. Leo and Luna blushed at one another as everyone noted how cute they were.

Jack and Carly were going to get married a few months later. Jack was busy in the Turbo Dueling Season and his drive to #1 was in full force. He was Yusei's best man. Carly was by his side every step of the way and Jack always made sure she had the same privileges as him. That meant access to the best parties and biggest events. Carly was also Akiza's maid of honor.

Crow was still trying to find a woman, but he wanted to chase Jack up the Turbo Dueling ladder and hoped to find a woman along the way.

Sherry was still in jail and had grown found of a jail mate who was in for life as well. She knew that they were never getting out, so she might as well grow fond of this strange man.

Luckily for Yusei and Akiza, they never saw Sherry or this new man ever again. They both were going to attend school at the local University together. Akiza was going to become a Doctor and Yusei was interesting in learning about science.

Yusei could still be Akiza's servant, to help pay for college, but everyone knew that he wasn't really her servant anymore. Now that they were husband and wife, it was just a excuse for them to be together.

You could say that he was more than just a servant.

A/N: Thanks for the support and again sorry for the delay.

I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who wanted something explained better or put in.

I have some more story ideas, so be on the look out for me!
