Hey all!! I'm vampire-ghostie & this is my first fanfic. It's TéaXSeto/AnzuXSeto. It's a bit AU-ish, so...

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING. If I did, Yu-gi-oh 5D's wouldn't exist.

Prompt: If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong, and at the worst possible moment (Murphy's Law).

"Attention, all passengers. We have reached our final destination. We hope you enjoy your visit in Domino City and thank you for flying with British Airways!" Twenty-four-year-old Téa Gardner stepped off the plane, putting on black D&G sunglasses that hid her brilliant sapphire eyes. As she gathered her suitcases from baggage claim, her iPhone 3G buzzed.

"Hello?"

"You haven't changed much, Téa," a very familiar voice drawled.

"Seto? Where are you; you sound rather close."

"Turn around." She did as instructed and let out a squeal of delight.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, giving her boyfriend of seven years a hug. Seto returned the embrace, breathing in her cinnamon-vanilla scent.

"A guy can't surprise his girlfriend at the airport?" he quipped.

"When it's a guy like you, no." Seto smirked.

"I love you too, Téa." Before Téa could retort, she was glomped by a tornado of black hair, forcing her against Seto's chest.

"You're finally back!" Téa laughed and carefully extricated herself.

"I've missed you too, Mokuba. Let me get a good look at you both." Her blue eyes studied Seto first. Her beloved, the man she loved more than anything. He seemed even more handsome than before, his black silk shirt stretching over taut muscles. Seto's eyes, so unlike Téa's own, held in them the determination he was famous for.

Mokuba, too, had changed. Though he didn't have his older brother's clean-cut looks and badass attitude, the teen was clearly a Kaiba. Mokuba's unruly black hair had been cut to shoulder length and his blue-gray eyes shone with mischief. He was only a few inches shorter than Seto now. Mokuba tugged at Téa's hand.

"Come on, Téa. We have a surprise for you." The waiting limo took them back to the Kaiba mansion, where Mokuba proceeded to blindfold the brunette.

"Is there any particular reason as to why I'm being blindfolded?"

"You'll see soon enough." Téa felt Seto's arm on her waist as he guided her inside.

"Surprise!" Téa removed the blindfold and gasped. Gathered in the living room were her dearest friends.

"Who did this?" Yugi stepped forward and grinned at Téa. Téa was still taller than he was, but only by one or two inches.

"Believe it or not, Kaiba did. He thought we'd like to see you after four years. You didn't even bother to tell us you were coming back."

"Sorry about that. I wanted to surprise you, but I guess that backfired, huh?" A very pregnant Mai Wheeler, nee Valentine, gave Téa a one-armed hug.

"We missed you, hon." Seto cleared his throat.

"I do hate to interrupt this reunion, but there are some of us who have to work and don't trust you alone in a mansion." Téa turned to face the CEO; her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"You're working when your beloved girlfriend, whom you haven't seen in ages, just got back? Glad to see I mean so much to you, Seto." Seto's lips twitched. For all his genius, he had never learned to resist The Look Mokuba and Téa had perfected.

"I'll call off the rest of the day," he sighed, pulling out his Blackberry 8800 series and muttering something along the lines of "damn those blue eyes…"

When Téa and Seto were finally alone several hours later, it was very late. Mokuba was already in bed & the maids not living in the mansion had left. The couple was standing on the balcony of Seto's room just enjoying the other's warmth.

"Thank you for today, Seto."

"You're welcome. Did you enjoy seeing your friends?"

"Our friends, and yes, I did." Seto grunted but did not correct Téa.

"Are you here for good?" he asked instead, nuzzling her neck and smirking when she shivered ever so slightly.

"I think so. Starlight's been established in the U.S. and Mark's got the London branch, so there's no need for me to worry about that. Do you want me here?"

"Yes. I love you." Téa reached up and gently traced Seto's face, brushing back a few errant chocolate bangs.

"And I love you."

"Marry me."

"I-what?!" Seto gave her a sexy grin and swept the brunette up in his arms.

"Just making sure you were still listening. It's late; let's get some sleep." Téa smacked him lightly.

"Seto Kaiba, you do not just accidentally-on-purpose propose to a girl and then say 'let's get some sleep'!" Seto laughed and carried the girl inside.

"I have every intention of marrying you, Téa. Someday." She snuggled into his shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Good. Otherwise I'd have to sic my brothers on you." He placed her gently on the bed and lay next to her, falling asleep as well

Sunlight streamed through the damask curtains, hitting Téa's face. She blinked a few times to clear the sleep from her eyes. Téa turned her head to face the man next to her, who was still asleep. 'Seto's so cute when he's sleeping,' she mused, studying him. Asleep, Seto looked vulnerable, something a lot of people would have trouble believing. She knew his image was a cold, ruthless bastard who was virtually indestructible. It wasn't so different from the one she gave off; she knew people found her to be just as cold-hearted and aloof as Seto when they first met her.

"Stop moving around, please."

"Oh! I'm sorry, Seto. Did I wake you?" Seto sat up and yawned.

"Not really. I was about to get up anyway." He looked at her, a small smile on his face. "Good morning, Ms. Gardner."

"Good morning, Mr. Kaiba," Téa answered, pulling him down for a kiss.

"What's on today's agenda?"

"Well, you've got to work. I need to check in with my father, but after that I suppose I'll wander the city, maybe hang out with the girls."

"What if I told you I was willing not to go to work just to spend the day with you?" Téa smiled and kissed him again.

"That's very sweet of you, Seto, but it isn't necessary. I won't be leaving any time soon." Seto nodded and (regretfully) left the comfort of his bed and girlfriend to take a shower.

Well, that's the first chapter! Drop a review, ok?
