Author Note: Hi everyone! I was at five day convention this past week and weekend, so today's chapter is little shorter than planned, but I hope you still enjoy it!

Chapter 54:

Park Date Part 2

Seto looked around the haunted house as they walked through. Not bad, the jump scares are properly placed, and the staff seems to be timing their screams right. I'm glad this addition was added. A guy jumped out at them. Ana flinched, then started laughing. Hmm, so she's the type to laugh when surprised.

"Amin-chan," Ana glanced up at him.

"Not Seto?" He teased. I need to sleep. I'm questioning my sanity right now. I can't believe I told her about my scars.

It was hard to tell her reaction in the half darkness, but he could hear the irritation in her voice. "I feel like you're working right now and not on a date."

Seto went to deny her claim but couldn't. "Habit."

"Well, stop." She pinched his hand.

"I'll... try."

They continued thru the haunted house and finally made it to the end. Ana was laughing. "That was fun."

"Yeah, they definitely are maintaining it well and the staff was on cue...." Seto noticed the look of irritation on her face. "I mean, yeah, it was fun."

An announcement sounded over the intercom. It was for the tournament. "Folks, we've come down to the final four! There's been a change in line up for this next duel. We have Joey Wheeler versus.... Kaiba Mokuba. We'll be broadcasting the final matches across the park. If you want to see them, then please find a TV and cheer our contestants on."

Seto smirked and could just imagine the look on Wheeler's face. He noticed Ana staring.

"What?"

Ana pursed her lips. "I'm starting to wonder if you bailed on the duel for me or if it was just to piss off Wheeler-san."

"Both?" Seto grinned at her and she rolled her eyes.

"Let's go on a roller coaster." Ana pointed at a large fast one with lots of loops.

Seto stared at her blankly. "You like roller coasters?"

"Of course. Don't you?"

"Yes. Yes, I do." Seto took her hand and headed to the coaster. The line for this one was longer since it was one of the main attractions. When they got in line, Ana looked down at her hand.

"What?" He asked.

"I feel like you 're being rather touchy today." Ana wiggled her fingers. He didn't let go.

"Says the girl who said she wanted to see me with my shirt off."

Ana blushed at his bluntness and glared at the same time. "I'm sorry for being creepy."

Seto's eyes widened. "What? Why would you think you were being creepy?"

She mumbled under her breath. "You mentioned that someone being nice to you in a sexual way was creepy, so I don't know where to draw the line when mentioning things..."

Oh... Oh! She's talking about when I visited her house and her sister flirted with me. He frowned at her. I guess I did say that. But I didn't really feel creeped out when she admitted she'd been wanting to see me with my shirt off. Where exactly is the line? I've avoided most women because of those encounters, but I don't want her to feel she needs to hold back in mentioning sexual things. What's normal for dating? Where do I draw the line? I've never had a romantic relationship, so I don't know. How am I supposed to feel when she brings this stuff up? Embarrassed? Excited? Maybe I should talk to a therapist. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be feeling when my girlfriend mentions sexual things.

"Amin-chan, I can kind of tell that's your deep-thinking face, but if you take too long to respond I'm going to get nervous." Ana's brow furrowed in worry.

Seto snapped out of his thoughts and felt uneasy. He glanced around at the people in line. Most of them seemed absorbed in their own conversations, though he was still getting a lot of looks.

He kept his voice low. "I'm not sure. You saying that didn't creep me out. I've never felt creeped out by you or anything you've said to me. I just don't know where I draw the line. I'm not even sure if I have one when it comes to being or talking about intimacy with you."

Ana looked a little embarrassed, maybe just from the context of the discussion, but she seemed less concerned.

He continued. "I'm honestly happy you find me attractive. Though, I'm sure I lost some points after showing you..."

She pinched him on his arm and glared at him. "You're making an assumption."

"What? Don't tell me you like scars?" Seto smiled, but there was an unpleasant taste in his mouth.

"No, especially not with what they mean. But don't assume that I was put off by them. You're still handsome... and rather well built." Ana's ears turned pink as she looked at the ground.

Seto felt his heart skip a beat. He smiled as he felt relieved. Something else occurred to him. "You asked me about it but where's your line with intimacy."

She blinked rapidly a few times and looked thoughtful before looking at him and saying, "I could be ok with one thing one day, but not feel up for something the next. So, consent is important."

Seto flinched a little. Frick' is she saying that because I've kissed her a few times today without asking? Actually, the last time I grabbed her and kissed her. Also, am I going to have to ask her every time I want to kiss her? He was feeling unsure if he'd crossed a line or not. Ana seemed to read his mind and laughed.

"I'll make this clearer. If I say no, turn away, or push you away, then you stop. Or if you make a request of me and I say no, then you don't do it. I'll do the same for you. Sound good?"

"Yeah... So then, earlier was I supposed to ask?"

"Which time?" Ana smiled at him teasingly.

Seto frowned. "All of them."

Ana shrugged and smiled. "I'm kind of liking all the kisses today, so it's fine. Two of them were you being sweet. The last one was you being annoying and flirty... If I said that one wasn't ok, would you get rid of that card?'

"No," Seto said firmly. "I'm not getting rid of it. So, that time wasn't ok?"

Ana huffed at him but didn't press him about the card. "I was having fun honestly, and I enjoyed it. Oh, but I'm not ok with doing anything passed holding hands in public though, just to let you know."

Seto agreed with her on this statement. It was finally their turn to get on the ride. The guy manning the ride looked like he choked on his own spit when he saw Seto in line. He ignored him and got into the coaster with Ana. After they buckled in, it shot off at high speed. The ride took them up a hill that clicked slowly up. Seto glanced over at Ana, who was holding on tight to the bars strapping her in. She looked over at him and he smirked at her, earning him a glare before they dropped at an almost 90-degree angle. Many people let out terrified screams as they zipped along and went thru loops that turned their stomachs upside down. When the ride was over and they got out, Seto looked down at Ana. Her face was glowing, and her eyes were sparkling from the thrill. Damn. I want to kiss her again. Maybe I would be ok with kissing her in public.
