Y.G.72: Hello everyone and thanks for reading my very first fanfic!

*throws confetti everywhere*

I'm so excited! X3

Midnite: I can tell…

Y.G.72: Oh yeah this is Midnite (pronounced like Midnight), my favorite OC! She is short, has huge breast, waist-length black wavy hair, sapphire colored eyes, has light tan skin, is super cute and smoking hot at the same time, is a master in any type of weapon, and best of all she has the power of teleportation. So basically she can bring Duel Monsters to life without a duel disk X3 … and she is one kick-ass duelist too! :D

Midnite: umm thanks for the intro… I think….

Y.G.72: Warning! slight OOC and AU (idk if it is AU) and smutty fudge in next chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal

***Yuma and Astral have finished collection all 99 Numbers card and Astral has regained his all his lost memoires. And together, they saved both the Astral World and Heartland. So, it was now time for Astral to return to his home planet. Yuma is 14 at this time***

"Thank you Yuma for all your help…now I can go home" The white blue, now solid, spirit said as he floated with his arms crossed over his chest as he looked at Yuma and then yellow shining portal.

"No problem, I'm glad you can finally be with all your friends and family" Yuma smiled at Astral as he tried to hold back his tears. Yuma was happy for his friend but the truth was he didn't want his most important comrade leave.

"This is farewell, Yuma…" Astral extended his hand out to Yuma, who took his hand. Yuma stared at Astral's mismatched eyes as he shook his hand. Those eyes, the ones he always woke up to every morning for the past year. Yuma swallowed as he held onto Astral's hand as long as he could because he knew he would never be able to touch him again. Astral let go and floated to the entrance of the portal.

"Astral wait!" Yuma shouted. The blue spirit turned and his yellow and white eyes stared at the dark pink ones of his human friend.

"Astral" Yuma could no longer meet his gaze and stared at his own hands and started to fiddle with them."I…I'm going to….miss you" Yuma mumbled the last few word so Astral wouldn't hear him.

"What?" Astral's eyes filled with concerned.

"Umm…I wish you the best of luck back home!" Yuma shouted the first thing that came to his mind. Astral smiled and nodded at Yuma, then he floated into the portal. Astral turned back to get one last look at the human boy. "Goodbye Yuma!" Astral shouted as he smiled and waved at Yuma.

"Wait no! Astral!" Yuma cried out as the tears he could no longer hold back rolled down his cheeks. But it was too late; the portal disappeared, taking with it both his dearest friend and his own heart.

"Astral! Astral! Astral! I love you! Please don't leave me!" Yuma fell onto his knees as he cried his love's name to the sky. In response to Yuma's emotions, the sky darkened and began raining heavily.

"Please ….come back to me…I love you…" Yuma was on all fours as he sobbed. It was all useless, Astral wouldn't be able to hear him, and he will never know Yuma's true feelings

***4 years later, Yuma is now 18 years old and today is his High School Graduation.***

"Yuma there you are. I was looking all over for you" Kotori said as she ran up to Yuma, her childhood friend. They were on Duel Academy's highest balcony. They were both wearing long red graduating gowns and hats. Yuma smiled at the green haired girl and then stared out to see the school courtyard. That's where the school was having a tournament for all the seniors, and the winner would get a scholarship to any college or university of their choice.

"Yuma, what's wrong?" Kotori touched Yuma's shoulder. Yuma closed his eyes and sighed

"It's been four years… and I still haven't heard from him…" Yuma grabbed the Ou's Key tightly and held it over his broken heart. "What if he forgot about me?" Yuma looked at the Kotori with sad eyes, staring at her as if she had the answer.

"Yuma, that's crazy! No one can forget you, even if they wanted to." Tetsuo said as he meet up with them and patted Yuma on the back. "You really think so?" Yuma smiled as he wiped his nose with his index finger.

"Of course!" Kotori laughed. She started pulling on both Yuma's and Tetsuo's arm and lead them down to the courtyard.

*** Yuma's house after the tournament. Yuma's older sister and his grandmother are out of town to do some shopping. Well Yuma being Yuma, he didn't tell them about his graduation, and they won't be back until tomorrow***

Yuma sighed as he pressed his back against the door as he closed it and locked it. He was holding the trophy in his hand but he gave the scholarship to the poorest senior. Yuma was already guaranteed a spot in the biggest Duel Company for Pro Duelist, so he won't need it. Dueling always made him feel better, but it would also remind him of the times when he would duel with Astral besides him. Every time Yuma would mess up, he could still hear Astral's calm, rational voice correcting him on which card to play.

Yuma kicked off his shoes and put the trophy down on the table. He pulled off his gown, revealing his regular outfit he had since he was little. Yuma throw himself on the couch. He laid on his back and covered his eyes with one arm as he started to sob. "Astral…where… where are you?" He whispered as he held the Ou's Key in his hand.

"Yuma?" Yuma smiled as he remembered how Astral would call his name. "Yuma?" Astral's voice called out again. Yuma lifted his arm and gasped as he stared into familiar mismatched eyes he hadn't seen for over 4 years.

Astral floated next to the couch and leaned his face a few inches away from Yuma's. Yuma jumped and fell of the couch in surprise and landed on his back, hard. But he quickly recovered and was standing.

"Wh…What are you doing here Astral?" Yuma pointed at his long lost love. Yuma was panicking and sweating uncontrollably. But Astral wasn't looking at him. The mismatched yellow and white eyes scanned every inch of the living room. "Same…."

"What?" Yuma couldn't help but ask as his eyes followed his lover's. He could feel jealousy rising that after all this time being apart, Astral had more interest in the house than him.

"Everything….it's the same….."

"Um… well yeah" was all Yuma could answer with. Yuma blinked at Astral, still not believing he was really here. Suddenly Astral then quickly floated up the stairs

"Hey wait!" Yuma cried out, afraid that he lost sight of Astral he would disappear. Yuma ran up the stairs and climbed up to his room. He found Astral looking at all the artifacts and treasures, his parents collected, in his room.

"Everything is the same" Astral said as his fingers ran up and down the hammock placed in the middle of the room. Then Astral's eyes fell on Yuma. Astral floated close to Yuma and stared at him from top to bottom. Yuma could feel his cheeks turning red.

"Yuma…you changed" Astral started at Yuma.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yuma started down at himself. It was true, Yuma did change. He had grown taller, muscles toned, and even his voice deepened, but still recognizable as his.

"Well you have too!" Yuma looked away and crossed his arms over his chest, annoyed. Astral had too changed. Astral's blue gemmed body had grown taller and more muscular than Yuma.

"You grew taller and you even have a six pack!" Yuma pointed at Astral's abdominal area. Astral started laughing.

"What?" Yuma glared at Astral, who only laughed more.

"You still act like the same Yuma I remember" Astral managed to say in his laughter. Yuma blushed and looked away. There was an awkward silence between them when Astral stopped laughing.

"Why…why didn't you come before…?"

Y.G.72: I hate cliffhangers but if I didn't make this two chapters than it would be a really really really long one-shot

Midnite: Please review and tell my creator some mistakes she could work on
