Little things

You softly sang a melody to yourself while walking to work. The wind felt extra breezy today. Friday was one of your favorite days. You greeted everyone on your way into the building before arriving at your desk. Mai eyed your expression, carefully lowering her voice,

"Someone's in a good mood today. Is it because of him?"

You smiled widely at her,

"Maybe, maybe not"

You continued answering your daily morning calls. Today was the day of the 'event' Yami spoke of. It was actually a partner celebration between Kaiba Corp and Muto corporations. It was ironic how the two companies were ran by brothers. As you began pulling out your documents, you noticed a bright red rose in a vase beside your computer. The vase was neatly decorated with rhinestones and sequins. A red sticky note was attached to it. In gold cursive writing, it read,

"Have a great day beautiful. May a smile follow you around -Y.M."

You blushed at the name he gave you. Mai saw the huge bundle of red before racing over and peeking,

"He gave you that? It's so romantic and sweet!"

You felt your neck darken in color. You fanned your face to keep from burning up,

"This is probably just a gift to prepare me for the partner event"

Mai smirked,

"Nonsense! He likes you very much (y/n). I wish Joey could be this romantic, all I ever get are duel monsters cards"

You both chuckled before heading back to work. Today would be a long day.

In just a blink of an eye, it was 5:47 pm. You cleaned up your desk, inhaling the fragrance of the rose as it flowed through the air. It smelled fresh and sweet. Yami stepped out of his office, locking the door before he turned to face you,

"I see you received the gift"

You gazed at the male fondly,

"It's very beautiful. Thank you so much"

Yami looked down bashfully. He picked up the gift for you before he went home. He knew you were upset a few days ago, and he wanted to you to be happy. Seeing you smile truly made his day.

You found it cute how he didn't like the attention,

"It was my pleasure. We should get going, we have a special night ahead of us"

"Yes Mr. Muto"

Yami playfully glared at you before chuckling. Both of you walked into the elevator waiting for it to take you down,

"What are you wearing tonight?"

You questioned, curious of his attire. Yami casually tucked his hands into his pockets,

"I can't reveal that. It won't be any fun if I do"

You crossed your arms over your chest,

"Oh so now you wanna act like a macho man? Okay then"

Yami smirked. He opened the passenger door for you before getting in on his side. Both of you shared a comfortable silence. In his presence, you felt hesitant sometimes. He made you shy. You were scared to embarrass yourself in front of him. You've previously dated, but nothing felt like this. You brushed it off telling yourself tonight you would radiate confidence.

Yami held the door open for you. As you stepped out, you offered him a hug. Under your touch, he stiffened for a second before instantly relaxing. He smelled pretty damn good if you had to say so.

Although you didn't know it, Yami could say the same about you. Your fragrance intoxicated him. He actually bought you roses all the time, because you reminded him of them. He loosely wrapped his arms around you.

After a moment, you painfully pulled away. Yami looked down at you, starry-eyed,

"I'll see you tonight Mr. Muto"

"And I'll see you Mrs. (y/l/n)"

You both laughed, following the paths of your destinations.

As soon as you got into your apartment, you rushed upstairs to get ready. A few days ago, you received a package. Inside of a golden box sat a red dress (I added an image above). You picked up the red sticky note acknowledging the golden cursive writing as Yami's. From all the paperwork you've seen, you knew his writing like the back of your hand. The sticky note said,

"I thought it was best to get you something so you wouldn't worry"

-Y.M.

Pulling the dress out along with the golden heels it came with, you laid them down on your bed before showering. You baked your face with natural makeup, adding on matte red lipstick for a bit of a touch. You perfected your hair in a face mirror. Walking to the full length mirror, you slipped on the dress and heels. Your eyes almost popped of your head. You couldn't believe how good you looked. Your work uniform which consisted of a pencil skirt and a white blouse could not compare. You were glad you canceled work at the cafe for this. Checking the time, you realized it was 7:56 pm. You swore to yourself before running downstairs. Anytime now, Yami would knock on the door.

You touched up your jewelry as you waited. Finally, a knock resounded from the door. You inhaled deeply before opening up. There in front of you stood the magnificent Yami Muto. He looked extra handsome tonight. His spiked hair seemed more vibrant. His eyes sparkled with hues of purple. His arms were not on full display, but his muscles were. He sported a black tuxedo with a red tie. Yami flushed slightly at the sight of you,

"Hello (y/n). You look gorgeous"

He couldn't stop running his eyes over your figure. Your curves were beautiful to him.

You looked down, bashfully playing with your hands,

"What a handsome man you are Yami"

You both chuckled shyly before he extended his hand,

"I cannot keep you waiting. May I escort you tonight?"

"You may"

You slung your arm around his, happily walking. You felt your heart accelerate. His muscles were so strong. Damn this man did lift. You felt like he was beating you at your own game. I mean- he is the king of games after all. He opened the limo door for you allowing you to go in. You quietly thanked him. As you scooted in, you spotted Yugi along with Mai and Joey,

"Hey, guys! I'm glad to see you all"

They all greeted you and Yami before you glanced at the woman beside Yugi. who was she? Yugi noticed your gaze, getting ready to introduce her,

"(Y/n) this is Anzu, she's my girlfriend"

You merrily greeted the girl. She seemed very sweet. Judging by the way Yugi and Anzu looked at each other, they were very in love. You looked back at Yami to make sure he was well. You caught his stare on your face before he sheepishly shifted his gaze back to his friends. You brushed down the feeling of happiness in your heart,

"Yami I have a question for you"

He raised an eyebrow,

"Why do you sit at the back of the café?"

For a second, he didn't answer. Yami knew you would figure it out, but he didn't think it would be this soon. He quickly muted the shock on his face before heaving a sigh,

"I wanted to keep an eye on you"

You thought back to the past incident. Yami was protecting you in his own way. You leaned in closer,

"Thank you. For literally everything"

Yami huskily chuckled,

"You don't have to say that (y/n). As long as you know my intentions and you appreciate them, I know you're thankful"

You both chattered quietly before reaching the venue.
