Thanks once again! And I hope you like the ending!)

I looked at my watch as it was almost time for me to leave the house. I'm sure Serenity wouldn't mind if I was a bit early. I got into the car as my butler began to drive me. My knees shook a bit as I tried to prevent them from shaking. There was absolutely nothing to be nervous about. It was just a small dinner with her.
The car finally reached to a full and complete stop as I quickly got out of the car and walked up the steep steps to Serenity's apartment. I hesitated a bit as I fixed my tie and attempted to push the doorbell. I paused as I heard a huge crash from the other side. It got me thinking. Was she still cooking?
I looked at my watch. I was a 10 minutes early. I debated whether or not I should ring the doorbell. Then I heard voices. I paused and shrugged as I pressed the doorbell. I waited for a minute as the door opened and I was face to face with the most hideous face on earth.
"KAIBA! What are you doing here?" Joey bellowed as he eyed my queerly.
"What are YOU doing here?" I snapped. Then I noticed Duke and Honda in the background, eating…..sushi?
"Yo Kaiba!" Duke greeted.
"We have some sushi for you too!" Honda grinned as he stuffed his face. Then I looked towards the kitchen and saw Serenity in a rather ravishing red dress. She looked at me with an apologetic expression as she looked at the three idiots. I gave her a small nod as I maneuvered my head to the door. Her worried look turned into a small smile as she nodded.
"I'll be right back!" Serenity smiled at her brother as she went into the kitchen. I assumed that she would be escaping through the alleyway.
"Okay, but hurry up with more food!" Joey cried out.
I smirked and opened the door to leave the house.
"Kaiba, where are you going?" Joey asked.
"To paradise." I smirked, as I left the house. I walked down the steep steps and saw Serenity sitting at the bottom of the stairs. She smiled at me and stood up. I smiled back, as I grabbed her hand.
"Sorry about that. Today was supposed to be just the two of us having a romantic candlelight dinner, but as you can see, it got ruined. I didn't know my brother and his friends would be coming." Serenity smiled apologetically once again.
"Forget about it." I leaned forward, as my lips were near her ear. "You look lovely."
I felt her cheeks burn red, as she blushed. I kissed her on the lips.
We pulled apart and she smiled at me and asked, "What do you feel like doing?"
"Eating."
She laughed, as we walked hand in hand to the nearest market. We each bought two obentos and decided to eat it at the park. We sat on a bench and looked out at the starry sky.
"You know what?" Serenity placed down her chopsticks as she looked up to me.
"What?" I asked.
"I like this more than a candlelight dinner." She smiled.
"Me too." I smiled back. I looked down at her petite figure and placed my arms around her.
Life couldn't be better.
"You know, Kaiba, the wind is so still tonight." Serenity said softly.
The wind was indeed still, as the air seemed quite…..
"Windless….." I mumbled.
"Hmmm….?" Serenity looked up into my eyes.
"The air is windless. Windless air." I explained.
"Windless air…." Serenity smiled. "It sounds very pretty."
I smiled down at her. "I suppose so."
"You know what I think?"
"What?" I asked as Serenity hugged my arm tighter.
"I think love is like windless air." Serenity giggled. "It sounds childish, but I can see the two elements relate together."
"How so?"
"How so? Hmmm, well, love never moves. It stays at one place, just like windless air. The air stays in one place. I don't know, I sound stupid, huh?" Serenity blushed, as she looked down.
I took my hand and lifted her chin. "Nope. Not stupid at all."
"I'm glad I ran in the rain that day. I'm glad that you stopped me. I'm glad….that I met you….." Serenity smiled.
"I'm glad too….." I smiled back, as I leaned forward to give her a kiss.
