Atem turned the key, locking off the car. "So, this is where you use to live?" He looked over at Téa, who was seated in the passenger seat.

"Yep, it wasn't much but it was home." She looked at the brick nineteenth century brick house.

"It looks cool," Joey mention from the back seat.

"Don't you mean old?" Tristan muttered.

"That's what makes it cool, Tristan." Yugi, who was seated beside him said. "The history of the house adds to the mystery of it."

It's been almost a month since Téa's mother was arrested, and since then she and the guys were very preoccupied. They had to be going to Vivian, Maddie and Atem and Yugi's father trails, to testify. In the end it was all worth it since all three were going to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Now the guys are helping Téa move things from her old home into the new one with Atem.

Getting out of the vehicle, everyone headed inside.

Téa pushed open the door and felt around for a while till she found the light switch.

"This place looks nasty!" Joey stated as the lights turned on.

"Maddie never did like to clean." Téa informed them. Observing the beer bottles, cigarette buds and empty pizza boxes, she sighed.

"Let's get your things." Atem said. Téa nodded.

"My room is the first door upsides." She indicated.

"Hey Téa, where's the fridge? I am hungry." Joey rubbed his stomach.

"Um…though that room." She pointed to a small entrance, beside the living room. "But I don't think anything in it is good expect for the beers."

"I want to see for myself." Joey dashed into the kitchen.

"Oh, Joey," Everyone sighed.

"I wonder how Mai puts up with him." Yugi said.

"I don't know but I'm hungry." Tristan followed after Joey.

"Oh boy," Téa whispered.

"Lets' leave them to the food. I really want to get home before night fall." Yugi glanced at a grandfather clock to see five p.m.

"What's the matter little brother? Still scared of the dark?" Atem joked.

"No, I am not!" Yugi pouted. "It's just that Rebecca wants me home soon so she can start the night shift at the hospital."

"Aren't you supposed to be at a basketball match with Joey and Tristan tonight?" Atem asked.

"I forgot, but who's going to watch the girls while I am away?" Yugi really wanted to go. His favourite team was playing today.

"How about we watch them? We aren't doing anything tonight." Téa offered.

"Yes we are." Atem took her hand. "I have made plans for us tonight."

"Really?" She looked almost surprised.

"Really. Ask Mai or Serenity to babysit or ask Rebecca's parents to watch over them for a bit." Atem suggested.

"I will call Serenity, Mai's working tonight and Rebecca's parents are away." Yugi took out his phone and walked outside.

"What plans do we have tonight?" Téa said as they walked upstairs.

"It's a surprise, sweetheart." Atem responded.

"Come on, no clue." She did the puppy dog pout.

"No clue." Atem giggled at Téa's antics. "Just know tonight is going to be special."

"Every night with you seem so special. What makes tonight any different?" Téa stopped in front of her former bedroom opening the door to reveal a small bedroom, pink in colour and a small bed positioned in the corner.

"Don't remember your own birthday?" Atem chuckled for a second.

Téa's eyes widen. "No, with everything that's been going on it just slipped my mind."

"It's alright mi amore." Atem leaned forwarded he clashed his lips onto hers. It was rough and demanding, while at the same time being soft, sensual, intimate, and even a little apologetic, he wanted more, Atem slowly pulled her closer to him and our tongues intertwined together, he tasted like passion. It felt like there was nothing else in the world, everything else faded out of view; Téa could have kissed him like that forever, if they hadn't needed to breathe. Their lips parted with hesitance...

"Wow!" Téa blushed.

Atem wrapped his arms lightly around her... as Téa lay on his chest, breathing in his scent.

"I love you, Atem." Téa said.

"I love you, too, Téa." He replied hugging her waist tighter.

After sharing another kiss, they started packing Téa's stuff.

About an hour had passed when they finished. Joey, Tristan and Yugi carried the boxes into the car while Atem and Téa stood in front of the house.

"I never thought I would say this but I am going to miss this house." She almost cried.

"It's only natural. You spent most of your life here." Atem said.

"Yeah, if daddy hadn't given the house to mom, I would turn this into an orphanage. The house has over seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, so, it would have been more than enough space for them."

"You have really thought this though." Atem turned his attention to Téa.

"Yes, I have." Téa sighed. "Can we go home now?"

Atem nodded. "Yes,"

"That's the last box." Atem was relieved as he placed the box gently down.

"Thank you," Téa smiled. She then opened the box nearest to her and grasped.

"What is it?" Atem asked.

"It's my storybook. When I was a little girl my father would always read it to me before bedtime." Téa took out a thick white cover book. "It had ever fairytale ever made."

She handed the book to Atem before digging though the box.

Atem saw a red string sticking out and opened the book to reveal a cream coloured parchment.

"Téa, there is a letter in here." He took it up and handed it to her.

"I wonder who put it there." She took it and unfolded it.

"My dearest Téa," She began to read out loud. "I know my time is short and I won't be able to see you go though college and get married. Just know no matter how old you get you will always be the most important girl in my life, even in death. You're my little girl and my angel. This is why when you turn eighteen; all my assets will go to you, which include the café, house and cars along with half a million that would be transferred into your account the day of my passing. I love you baby girl, and I will always watch over you."

"Your father left you a lot of stuff." Atem hugged her waist.

"Yes," Téa looked down and saw two more parchments, which most have fell out of the book. Taking it up, she unfolded those as well.

"What its say?" Atem asked.

"It's my father's will." Téa tried not to cry.

Atem started to kiss Téa's neck. "Does this mean you will be moving out, and quit your job at the restaurant?"

"No, I want to stay here with you. If you want me to, I mean?" Téa whispered.

"Of course I want you to. I love you and I never want you to leave me."

"I never want to leave you too. I love you so much."

Atem parted from her neck and turned Téa to face him. "Are you ready for your surprise?"

"Yes!" Téa smirked. "But…but what about the boxes."

"That can wait till tomorrow. Right now I want to spoil my queen." Atem kissed her passionately before picking her up bridal style, and carried her up the stairs.

Reaching an unfamiliar room, Téa asked, "What is this room?"

Atem gave her one of his ever so rare smiles and pushed opened the door to reveal the garden. It was beautiful decorated. Pepper lights were on the trees, and placed in the centre of the garden was a small table with two candles, wine glasses, and two chairs.

"This was the surprise. It's so beautiful." Téa kissed him.

Atem returned the kiss.

Parting, Atem said, "This is just the first part of the surprise, my love. Just wait till later."

Téa saw the look in his eyes and knew what was going to come next, and she was ready for it. Atem loved her for who she was and she felt the same about him.

"That was amazing!" Téa said as she and Atem collapsed on the bed.

"You were amazing!" Atem drew the sheet over them. Drawing her closer to him, Téa rested on his chest. He hugged her waist, tightly before continuing, "I love you, so much."

"I love, love, love you, Atem Mutou. More than words can explain."

"I am glad." Atem leaned forward and clashed his lips on to Téa's.

Téa and Atem knew what ever happened they were meant for each other, and no one was going to convince them other wise.
