Twenty-four snapshots. Two lives. One love. Yuugi x Anzu.

Her fiancé, despite being a grown man, still needed his sleep.
Yuugi had dozed off halfway through Jounouchi's new pizza-eating party trick, which comically outraged the blond to the general amusement of everyone watching. Both actions seemed perfectly typical to Anzu, who then gently shook Yuugi into a half-lucid state and ushered him up the stairs onto the bed in one of the guestrooms, where he promptly fell asleep again.
She left him, for a little while, wanting to catch up with all her old friends, but as the clock approached midnight, she made her way back.
The muted cheers and party music wound their way to where she stood, watching him from the doorway, a brilliant smile on her face.
She didn't mind that he had missed celebrating this New Year with her, since there would be many more for them to share later on.
"Hey... Anzu!" Honda called quietly to her, "You gonna come back down now?"
She shook her head, "I'm fine just here."
"Ok then. Happy New Year."
"You too. Could you tell the others?"
"Of course I will."
He left her to her sleeping prince.
Carefully, she eased off her shoes and made her way to the bed. She sat down upon it and pressed a kiss to Yuugi's forehead before curling up next to him, feeling him breathe in and out. She could stay like that forever.
"I love you Yuugi," she said and she meant it, really, truly meant it.
She didn't begrudge his lack of response, the way he instinctively wrapped an arm around her was more than enough.
And besides, he'd tell her in the morning.
No doubt about it.

THE END
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed: Miss ?, snowflake Cygna-hime, Sailor Comet (Sam), YumeTakato, Misura, WookieeBeta, exodia master, Kerrie- chan, YamiNeko1, Reyana Draconis, Jaid Skywalker and yla/all4him
I posted these chapters in quick succession and it was wonderful to see people following the story so closely. Really cool. Wow.
And, in response to various comments:
To YumeTakato - I like writing Yuugi asleep (it ups the cuteness factor)
To Kerrie-chan - Just knowing you were reading gave me a boost, the reviews don't have to be long
To Cygna-hime – In exchange for being able to write short pieces, I had to be... um.... very short. I'm flattered you asked though. And about it being the end – I did plan to write 6 more segments, 3 from Honda and 3 from Jounouchi set after this chapter, but I think it's pretty finished as it is. 24 is a good, round number.
Thanks again! Jargonelle
