Leo and Luna had no business being in a place like this.

The dimly lit laboratory smelled of stale metal and burnt circuitry, remnants of old experiments and abandoned projects. The facility had been shut down for months, maybe years, but something had drawn the twins here tonight. Maybe it was curiosity. Maybe it was boredom. Maybe it was fate. Whatever it was, they had stumbled upon something they never could have expected.

An Akiza Izinski suit.

It lay on a steel examination table, eerily lifelike in its design. The deep red corset, the magenta trench coat, even the boots—it was all there. But something was off. The suspenders were missing, along with Akiza's signature gold bracelets and emerald-crested medallion. The gloves were sewn directly onto the sleeves, blending into the arms like a second skin. And the Witch's dress, normally a separate garment, seemed fused to the suit's very surface, making it look more like a shell than an outfit.

Leo whistled as he examined it. "This is insane. Look at this thing. It's like... perfect." His eyes drifted downward, and he let out a chuckle. "And look at these. Someone made sure Akiza had her toys."

Luna groaned, crossing her arms. "You are such a dork."

Leo smirked. "I mean, come on, it's totally her size, right?"

Luna tilted her head, inspecting the suit. "Maybe, but it's way too big for just one of us to wear."

"That's why we wear it together!" Leo declared, snapping his fingers. "Like a totem pole! You on my shoulders, and we'll be Akiza! It'll be perfect!"

Luna raised an eyebrow. "Is that even possible?"

Leo turned to the table beside the suit and spotted a small booklet. He picked it up and flipped through the pages, his eyes lighting up as he read aloud. "Connects to the wearer and changes the wearer's eyes... If the wearers are two people, it creates a psychic connection so they can communicate through thoughts."

Luna blinked. "Wait, seriously?"

Leo nodded enthusiastically. "See? It's made for this kind of thing!"

Luna bit her lip, still hesitant. "But what about the missing bracelets, the suspenders, and her medallion? People will notice something's off. And what if someone hears us inside the suit?"

Leo waved a hand dismissively. "We'll just say 'Akiza' is experimenting with a new fashion style. No one questions Akiza, right? And as for our voices, we'll mostly have you talk. Everyone already thinks Akiza is kind of mystical. We can just say she developed a new psychic ability that lets people hear us through her!"

Luna hesitated, crossing her arms. "My voice, though. Everyone will recognize it instantly."

Leo grinned. "Remember when we swapped places so you could duel Greiger? We pulled that off, didn't we? This will be just like that, only bigger. And come on, this is our chance—our dream! We can finally be with Yusei, just like we've always wanted."

Luna felt her cheeks heat up as she glanced at the suit. The idea of pretending to be Akiza, of being close to Yusei under that disguise, was both nerve-wracking and thrilling. She and her brother wanted it, despite her fears. The chance to feel what Akiza felt, to be in her place—even for a while—pulled Luna in since both she and Leo loved Yusei.

She let out a deep breath, nerves bubbling beneath the surface. "Alright, fine. Let's do it."

Leo pumped his fist in victory. "Yes! We've got this!" His enthusiasm was contagious, and Luna couldn't help but smile a little as they began their preparations.

"You work on Akiza's voice," Leo instructed, already running through the plan in his head. "I'll take care of the movements. With our twin synchronization, no one's going to suspect a thing."

Luna nodded, her heart racing.

As they stood in the lab, Leo crouched slightly, his face already tinged pink. "Alright, Luna, get on!" he said, grinning.

Luna hesitated before stepping onto his bent knee and hoisting herself up, her own cheeks flushing. "You better not drop me," she warned.

"I got this!" Leo said, gripping her legs tightly as he straightened. They wobbled at first, both of their faces growing even redder as Luna's arms instinctively clamped onto his head.

"Leo!" she yelped, her voice higher than she intended.

"Relax, I've got you!" he reassured her, adjusting his stance, though his own expression was burning with embarrassment.

After a few tries, they finally found a steady balance. Luna sighed, her blush still lingering. "Okay... this might actually work."

Luna frowned, adjusting her grip. "Should we be in our underwear while wearing the suit? I mean, I'm going to be on your shoulders the whole time..."

Leo paused before shaking his head. "The manual says it works whether we're wearing clothes or not. So let's just keep our outfits on."

The twins decided to go to their penthouse at Tops to put the suit on for real after Luna got off her twin brother's shoulders.

Leo chuckled, his excitement growing. "We're going to be the best Akiza Izinski that New Domino City—and Yusei—has ever seen."

Luna bit back her smile, though it tugged at the corners of her lips. "We'll see," she said quietly, but her anticipation was just as strong as Leo's.

Leo and Luna stood in their penthouse, facing the mysterious Akiza Izinski suit they'd found. The suit was striking, but there were notable differences from Akiza's usual wardrobe—the suspenders, gold bracelets, and signature emerald-crested medallion were missing. The gloves were sewn directly onto the sleeves, and the witch-like dress appeared permanently attached to the suit's skin, as if it was one complete entity. None of that mattered to the twins, though. This was their chance to get closer to Yusei.

Leo ran his fingers over the suit's smooth material. "It's even weirder up close."

Luna nodded, arms crossed. "It's like a second skin. Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Of course!" Leo grinned, unzipping the suit from the front. "Alright, let's do this. I'll go first."

Leo stepped inside the suit, his legs slipping in easily as the material stretched and adjusted. The legs of the suit seemed to lengthen slightly to match Akiza's height.

"Whoa, that's freaky," he muttered, shifting his weight as he got used to the fit.

Luna sighed before climbing onto his shoulders, carefully balancing herself as she slid into the upper half of the suit. "Okay, don't drop me."

Leo steadied her by grabbing her legs. "Just hold still."

As they adjusted inside the suit, their faces grew red with embarrassment.

"This is so weird," Luna mumbled, her green hair shifting slightly as she moved.

"Yeah, but it's gonna be awesome!" Leo grinned. "We just need to make sure we move like Akiza."

Luna sighed again. "Let's just get this over with."

Both twins held their breath as they adjusted to their new form, their anticipation and nervous excitement mixing as they prepared for what came next.

Leo and Luna stood, one on top of the other, the Akiza Izinski suit halfway up their bodies. Their faces were flushed as they struggled to adjust. "This is... tighter than I expected," Leo muttered.

Luna grunted as she slipped one arm into the suit. As soon as she did, the suit began to shift, expanding slightly. "Leo! It's growing!" she exclaimed, eyes wide as the chest area inflated to Akiza's N cup size.

Leo groaned. "This thing is alive, I swear. Just keep going!"

Luna took a deep breath and reached for the mask. She hesitated for a moment before pulling it over her face, her features slowly disappearing behind Akiza's.

"How do I look?" Luna asked, her voice muffled.

Leo chuckled nervously. "Like a witch in progress. Now hurry, let's finish this."

Luna zipped the belly part of the suit down, covering Leo's face. "Mmph!" Leo's muffled protests could be heard as his face scrunched in discomfort.

Luna winced. "Sorry, sorry! Just a little more—"

With a final tug, the zipper closed at her neck. She took a deep breath, adjusting the suit. "Okay... I think it's done."

Leo's voice rang in her head through their new psychic link. "Luna, I feel like my head is stuck in a sock."

"Deal with it," she shot back mentally. "We have bigger things to focus on."

The twins posed as Akiza, slightly bending forward, placing their hands near the hem of their dress. Luna gave a teasing smile, mimicking Akiza's usual charm.

"Her lips parted, and in a soft, yet deliberate tone, she began to practice. "I am Akiza Izinski, and I will be your opponent."

Leo smirked. "Hmm, not bad, but you sound too polite. Try it with more confidence."

Each repetition brought more confidence, the hesitation fading away as she and Leo perfected Akiza's voice.

"I am Akiza Izinski, and I will be your opponent."

Leo nodded approvingly. "Getting there, but Akiza's got that sharper edge. Imagine you just crushed someone's best card."

"I am Akiza Izinski, and I will be your opponent!"

Leo grinned. "Yes! Now we're talking! That's the real Akiza tone right there."

By the tenth try, the resemblance was uncanny. Luna sounded just like Akiza, her voice carrying the same strength and conviction that the real Akiza always portrayed. Luna said, her voice echoing through the mask as it mimicked Akiza's tone perfectly. There was a slight hesitation in the way the words left her lips, but she pressed on, repeating the phrase over and over.

"I am Akiza Izinski, and I will be your opponent."

Leo smirked. "Hmm, not bad, but you sound too polite. Try it with more confidence."

Each repetition brought more confidence, the hesitation fading away as she and Leo perfected Akiza's voice.

"I am Akiza Izinski, and I will be your opponent."

Leo nodded approvingly. "Getting there, but Akiza's got that sharper edge. Imagine you just crushed someone's best card."

Leo grinned. "Yes! Now we're talking! That's the real Akiza tone right there."

With a deep breath, their confidence solidified. Luna stood tall, adjusting her posture to fully embrace Akiza's presence. She glanced at the mirror one last time, her brown eyes gleaming with determination.

"Alright, let's go to Yusei's and declare our love to him," they said in unison, their voices blending seamlessly from inside Akiza's body. It wasn't just Luna speaking anymore—Leo's voice was there too, perfectly synchronized.

Together, they wobbled out of their penthouse, hearts pounding with excitement and anticipation. The suit guided their stride, giving them the confident walk of Akiza herself. With each step, they grew more assured in their plan, ready to face Yusei and reveal their feelings as 'Akiza.'

In the iridescent dusk, as the city transformed into a vibrant tapestry of celestial hues, Luna perched atop Leo's shoulders, her Akiza suit shimmering with the fading light. The soft glow of the setting sun reflected off the fabric, casting an almost ethereal glow around them as they moved with purposeful strides. Inside the suit, the twins whispered their bold plan, hearts pounding in unison.

Leo's voice, low and conspiratorial, broke the stillness. "Remember, Luna, our goal tonight is simple. 'Akiza' will request a rendezvous with Yusei. We'll spend time with him, and when the date concludes, as Yusei inevitably asks about the evening, you—using your real voice—will profess our mutual love for him. And when he grows suspicious of 'Akiza' referring to herself as 'we,' that's when we unzip the suit. We reveal ourselves."

Luna's voice, soft but tinged with uncertainty, responded. "But, Leo… what if he doesn't love us back? What if he only loves Akiza, not the twins hiding behind her?"

Leo's tone remained firm, as if their plan had already succeeded in his mind. "He will, Luna. I know he will. Yusei cares for us, and this is our chance to make him see it. And maybe, just maybe, he'll love us even more as 'Akiza.' We'll keep the secret hidden from everyone—our friends, even the real Akiza. No one will ever know, and Yusei will be ours."

There was a brief silence within the suit as Luna pondered his words, but her trust in her brother outweighed her fears. "I believe in you, Leo," she whispered, her resolve solidifying. "Let's do this."

As they strode through the heart of New Domino City, the inhabitants of the bustling streets turned curious gazes toward 'Akiza.' Her movements seemed uncharacteristically disjointed at times, and there were moments where the voices of Leo and Luna could be faintly heard from within the suit. This was not the Akiza Izinski they were used to, and their curiosity began to stir.

It wasn't long before one bystander, a young woman carrying a bag of groceries, called out. "Lady Akiza! Why do you speak to yourself? And… why do we hear the voices of Luna and Leo coming from you?"

Leo had anticipated this. Quickly, with Luna acting as the head and voice of 'Akiza,' she responded, her tone mimicking Akiza's calm and authoritative demeanor. "Citizens of New Domino, do not be alarmed. I have recently undergone a transformative spiritual awakening, one that has granted me a new psychic ability. Through this gift, the voices of my dearest companions, Leo and Luna, can now be heard from within me."

The crowd murmured in awe, exchanging glances, but ultimately accepting 'Akiza's' explanation without further question. In this city, where psychic powers and duelists with extraordinary abilities were not unheard of, Akiza's claim seemed plausible enough. The whispers quieted, and the crowd resumed their activities, satisfied with the answer.

With the obstacle of public curiosity behind them, the twins pressed on toward Yusei's hideout, their hearts pounding harder with each step. The anticipation was nearly overwhelming. They knew the risks—how easily their entire charade could fall apart—but the desire to finally be close to Yusei, to share their hidden feelings, fueled their determination.

They glanced up as they neared Yusei's hideout, a sense of exhilaration and trepidation swirling inside the suit. Luna, controlling the suit's movements, felt her palms grow sweaty inside Akiza's gloves. Leo, deep within the suit, could feel his heart racing. They had one shot at this. One chance to tell Yusei how they felt and hope, pray, that he would love them back.

But no matter what happened, they had each other. That unbreakable bond was all they needed to face whatever lay ahead.

As they reached the entrance of Yusei's hideout, Leo whispered one last encouragement, his voice soft yet steady. "Together, Luna. No matter what happens, we do this together."

Luna nodded, though the motion was masked by Akiza's controlled exterior. "Together," she whispered back.

With a deep breath, Luna knocked on the door, and the future awaited them on the other side.

When 'Akiza' reached Yusei's hideout, he was surprised to see 'her'. "Akiza, what are you doing here?" he asked.'Akiza', AKA Luna on top replied in Akiza's voice, "To see you, Yusei."

As 'Akiza' stepped into Yusei's hideout, the fading light of dusk casting long shadows across the room, Yusei's brow furrowed with surprise. "Akiza, what are you doing here?" His voice held a hint of confusion, though it was softened by his usual calm demeanor.

Luna, controlling 'Akiza,' smiled warmly, her voice an almost perfect imitation of the real Akiza's. "To see you, Yusei," she replied smoothly, though her heart pounded beneath the suit, a mixture of nerves and excitement swirling inside her.

Yusei's eyes quickly scanned 'Akiza,' his sharp mind noticing details that seemed off. The absence of her usual bracelets and the emerald crested, golden cross-shaped medallion she always wore caught his attention. Her thigh-high stockings were missing the suspenders that typically connected them to her skirt, and even her gloves were now attached to her dress in an unusual way.

"Akiza, where are your bracelets, your medallion, and those suspenders for your stockings? And why are your gloves attached to your dress?" Yusei asked, his voice carrying a note of concern as he tried to make sense of these subtle changes. He had always known Akiza to be consistent with her appearance, so the sudden shift in her wardrobe felt out of place.

Leo, hidden as 'Akiza's' legs, had anticipated this question. Quickly, Luna answered with confidence. "Oh, it's a new fashion trend I'm trying, Yusei," 'Akiza' explained, her voice smooth and confident, masking the twins' internal anxiety.

Yusei raised an eyebrow, pondering the answer. "I didn't know Akiza was into fashion like that," he thought to himself, the explanation still not fully settling in his mind. But before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, 'Akiza' spoke again, redirecting the conversation.

"Yusei, would you like to go out on a date with me?" Luna asked, her voice sweet, the words carrying a weight that seemed to linger in the air between them.

Yusei blinked, momentarily caught off guard. He hadn't expected 'Akiza' to ask such a direct question. "Um… sure," he answered after a brief pause, though a part of him was still trying to piece together why 'Akiza' was acting differently.

As the three of them walked down the bustling streets of New Domino City, the twilight giving way to the neon glow of streetlights, Yusei couldn't help but feel like something was off. 'Akiza' was walking with him, talking to him, but her mannerisms seemed… off. The way she moved wasn't quite as fluid as he remembered, and her voice, though familiar, carried a strange undertone he couldn't place.

Yusei glanced at her from the corner of his eye, watching as 'Akiza' walked beside him. She was acting friendly—perhaps more so than usual—and her earlier question about going on a date felt unusually forward. Akiza had never been so direct before, at least not with him. He tried to push the unease aside, telling himself that maybe she was just experimenting with something new, like she had said.

But deep down, Yusei couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. 'Akiza' just didn't seem like herself.

As they continued down the street, Yusei decided to probe a little more. "Akiza… is everything alright? You seem… different tonight." His voice was gentle but probing, searching for some clarity on the strange behavior.

Inside the suit, Leo and Luna exchanged a nervous glance, their thoughts racing in unison. He's catching on... We have to stay in character. Leo, ever the quick thinker, whispered to Luna, "Stick to the story. Keep calm. We can still pull this off."

Luna, still maintaining 'Akiza's' composed facade, smiled softly at Yusei, her voice as steady as she could manage. "I'm fine, Yusei. Just feeling a little… refreshed, I guess. This 'new me' is still something I'm getting used to."

Yusei nodded, though the strange feeling lingered. He smiled back, trying to push aside his concerns for now. "Alright," he said, his voice warmer, "Let's make the most of this evening, then."

In the neon-lit roller skating rink, a place filled with the echoes of the past, Yusei felt a strange sense of déjà vu as 'Akiza' glided beside him. It had been so long since he'd last been here, and the memories of that day with the real Akiza flickered in his mind. He had taught her how to skate backward, an attempt to show her the balance and grace needed for Turbo Dueling.

But something about tonight felt... different.

"Isn't it nostalgic to be back here, Yusei?" Luna, using Akiza's voice, spoke in a tone laced with a familiarity that tugged at the edges of his memory. "It's almost like we've stepped back in time, to that fateful day we shared here."

Yusei chuckled softly, shaking his head. "That wasn't a date, Akiza. I was just teaching you about balance, the fundamentals for Turbo Dueling." His voice was lighthearted, though confusion began to creep in. There was something off about her phrasing, something that didn't quite match the Akiza he knew.

Luna's face flushed beneath the suit. She quickly tried to cover the slip-up. "My apologies, Yusei," she said, her voice wavering slightly as her heart raced inside the suit. "I guess I was just caught up in the moment."

Inside, Leo and Luna exchanged a nervous glance. This was getting trickier than they had expected.

"I told you it wasn't a date last time, Leo!" Luna hissed under her breath, forgetting for a moment that they weren't alone. "He was teaching the real Akiza how to balance for Turbo Dueling!"

Leo's mischievous grin was audible in his whispered reply. "But now, Luna, as Akiza, we are on a real date with Yusei! No more playing third wheel!"

The twins, caught in their own conversation, didn't realize that their voices had carried over to Yusei. His sharp ears picked up the faint exchange, and he furrowed his brow in confusion. Something wasn't adding up. He had definitely heard the distinct voices of Leo and Luna, and not for the first time tonight. They seemed to be coming from 'Akiza,' which made no sense.

"Akiza," Yusei started slowly, his voice tinged with concern, "are you alright? You seem... off tonight. And why do I hear Leo and Luna's voices coming from you? Are they nearby?"

Luna's breath hitched in her throat as panic surged. What if he sees through us? What if we fail? Her thoughts spiraled, but Leo nudged her from below, his thoughts steadying her. Stick to the plan, he thought to his sister. We've come too far to mess up now.

Luna, channeling Akiza's calm, authoritative voice once again, offered the explanation they had rehearsed. "I've recently developed a new psychic ability," 'Akiza' said smoothly. "It allows others to hear the voices of Leo and Luna from me. It's part of my... spiritual transformation."

Yusei blinked, processing her words. He had witnessed Akiza's psychic powers in action before, so the explanation, while unusual, wasn't entirely implausible. He nodded, though the unease still lingered. "That makes sense, I suppose," he said, his tone softening as he let the explanation settle.

As they continued skating, Yusei seemed to relax again, and 'Akiza'—Leo and Luna inside—felt a collective sigh of relief. That was close, Leo thought, his heartbeat finally slowing. If Yusei had pushed any further, we would've been caught. Luna, however, wasn't so sure. Did he hear us? she wondered, a nervous edge creeping into her thoughts. We have to be more careful... or everything will fall apart. Their ruse had held, for now.

Then, in a moment of daring, 'Akiza' reached out and clasped Yusei's hand, intertwining her fingers with his. The gesture was tender, an intimate spark that neither Yusei nor the twins had expected. For Yusei, it was a sign of trust, a deepening of their connection.

Inside the suit, Leo and Luna shared a silent understanding. This was more than just a charade now. They were feeling it too—the warmth of Yusei's hand, the closeness of his presence. And though they were two, hidden beneath the disguise, in that moment they felt like one.

Yusei glanced at 'Akiza' as they skated hand-in-hand, the gentle pull of the rink drawing them together. "You've changed, Akiza," he murmured, his voice thoughtful. "But I think I like this side of you."

'Akiza' smiled, though behind the mask, Leo and Luna's hearts were pounding with both excitement and fear. He's really falling for us, Leo thought, exhilaration surging through him. But how much longer can we keep this up before he sees the truth? Luna, equally torn, tried to steady herself. What if he already suspects? What if he knows? They had come so far, and Yusei was beginning to fall for them—as Akiza. But for how long could they keep up the facade?

For now, they let the moment linger, skating together under the neon lights, with Yusei none the wiser.

The air was thick with excitement as Yusei and 'Akiza'—the disguised Leo and Luna—emerged from the bustling crowd outside the roller skating rink. Their faces glowed with the thrill of the evening, laughter echoing through the night air. They paused at the crosswalk, taking in the vibrant street scene: neon signs flashing overhead, the sounds of passing cars, and the chatter of pedestrians filled the atmosphere. As they waited for the light to change, Yusei leaned closer to 'Akiza,' lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper.

"So, what do you say we keep the fun going? I know just the place nearby..." His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

With a secret smile that Luna had perfected, 'Akiza' nodded in agreement, leading them across the street to Cafe la Geen. The warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods enveloped them as they entered. The café was tastefully decorated with plush couches and dim lighting, creating an intimate ambiance that was perfect for their impromptu second date.

As they settled into their seats, a waiter approached almost immediately, presenting them with menus and offering drinks.

"So, what should we get?" Yusei asked, glancing up from the menu. "Everything looks so good!"

Before Luna spoke, she and Leo were thinking the same thought. We have to keep the act perfect. Any hesitation could give us away. 'Akiza' shrugged, her eyes flitting between the options. "I'm usually not the best at deciding, but I'm sure whatever you choose will be delicious."

Yusei grinned, enjoying the flattery. "Well, I'm in the mood for something sweet. How about you?"

'Akiza' tilted her head thoughtfully, a flicker of a smile dancing on her lips. "I think I'll go for something savory. I could really go for a good sandwich right now. What about you, Yusei?"

The young man paused for a moment, his gaze flickering between 'Akiza's' eyes and her lips, feeling a warmth spread through him. There was something about her that made him feel comfortable and at ease. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. Maybe it was the way she made him laugh or how she seemed to genuinely enjoy their time together. Whatever it was, he knew he wanted to see more of it. "I think I'll get the same," he said finally, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "A sandwich sounds perfect."

'Akiza' smiled back, nodding in agreement. "I'm glad we're on the same page. You know, Yusei, it's not often that I feel this... connected to someone." She took a sip of her drink, her gaze steady on him. "It's like... everything just feels right when we're together."

The waiter returned with their food, setting their plates down on the table with a flourish. Yusei couldn't help but grin at the sight of his sandwich, the freshly baked bread stuffed with juicy meats and crisp vegetables. 'Akiza's' salad looked equally appetizing, vibrant with a colorful array of greens and delicate toppings. They dug in, savoring each bite, their conversation flowing effortlessly as they shared stories about their lives, dreams, and hopes for the future.

As they ate, Yusei couldn't shake the feeling that there was something deeper to 'Akiza' than just her appearance or backstory. There was an intelligence and depth to her that intrigued him. She had a way of making him feel understood, as if he could be his true self around her—a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time, if ever.

Luna, embodying 'Akiza,' noticed the way Yusei's eyes sparkled as he spoke about his dreams of becoming a better duelist and his desire to protect his friends. She leaned in, genuinely interested. "What drives you, Yusei? What keeps you going when things get tough?"

He paused, caught off guard by the depth of the question. "I guess… it's my friends. They motivate me to be better, to keep pushing forward. I want to make sure they're safe and happy, no matter what."

'Akiza's' expression softened as she listened. "You really care about them. That's admirable."

Yusei smiled, feeling a warmth in his chest. "It's easy to care for people like that. They mean the world to me."

Their conversation flowed seamlessly, punctuated by laughter and shared stories. Yusei felt like he was truly getting to know 'Akiza' in a way he hadn't with anyone else. It was refreshing and invigorating.

"I never really expected this kind of evening," Yusei admitted, leaning slightly forward. "You're different tonight, Akiza. More open. I like it."

Luna, still maintaining the act, smiled warmly. Stay confident, stay in character, she reminded herself. "I suppose I just feel at ease with you, Yusei," she said smoothly. "Like I can be myself."

Yusei nodded thoughtfully. "It's nice to hear that. I always thought you carried a lot on your shoulders. Maybe it's good to just… let go sometimes."

Inside the suit, Leo and Luna exchanged thoughts. This is working. He's really opening up to us.

"Maybe I should do that more often," 'Akiza' mused aloud. "I never knew you thought that about me, Yusei."

Yusei chuckled. "There's a lot we don't say sometimes, but I guess nights like this help." He took a sip of his drink, eyes thoughtful. "Do you ever think about the future, Akiza? About where life will take you?"

Luna hesitated, feeling the weight of his words. This isn't something we prepared for… She quickly composed herself. "I do, but I think it's more important to enjoy the present. Right now, I just want to be here—with you." She reached across the table, gently placing her hand over his.

Yusei blinked, momentarily surprised, before his features softened into a small smile. "I'm glad you're here too."

As they finished their meals, Yusei wished the night would never end. The atmosphere was perfect, and with every moment spent with 'Akiza,' he felt himself drawn deeper into this connection. He found himself leaning closer, sharing more of his thoughts and feelings, completely captivated.

Yusei and 'Akiza' lingered at Café la Geen, their laughter echoing softly amid the warm ambiance. The playful energy crackled between them, making the space feel charged with excitement. With every exchanged word, Luna, who was secretly playing Akiza, felt her heart flutter at the prospect of spending more time with Yusei. She and Leo exchanged quick, excited glances from within the suit, both realizing that their plan was unfolding beautifully.

"So, what should we do next?" 'Akiza' asked, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. The idea of another adventure filled her with joy. "We could play some video games if you'd like?"

Yusei's grin widened. "I've always been more of a card game person, but I'm open to trying something new. What do you recommend?"

'Akiza' thought for a moment, her lips pursed in concentration. "Well, since we're both into music, how about we try a rhythm game? There's this new one that just came out, where you dance along to different songs. It looks really fun, and it could be a great way for us to get some exercise in too."

Yusei's eyes lit up at the suggestion. "That sounds like a blast! I haven't played a rhythm game in a while. Do you want to head over to the arcade now?"

'Akiza' beamed, feeling a rush of excitement. "Sure, why not? Let's go burn off some energy and have some fun!"

With that, she finished her drink, setting the glass down on the table with a soft clink. The way she stretched her arms above her head was fluid and graceful, drawing Yusei's attention to her figure, and for a moment, he simply admired her—though he couldn't quite pinpoint what felt so different about this Akiza.

As 'Akiza' lowered her arms, she caught Yusei's gaze lingering on her, and inside the suit, Luna felt a rush of warmth and a flutter of nerves. She was performing well, but a small part of her worried if Yusei could sense something was amiss. Still, the thrill of the moment pushed those thoughts aside.

"Ready?" Yusei asked, a sparkle of eagerness in his eyes.

"Absolutely!" 'Akiza' replied, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. She led the way out of the café, heart racing with anticipation for what lay ahead. The night was still young, and with Yusei by her side, every moment felt like a new adventure waiting to unfold.

As they stepped outside into the vibrant New Domino City streets, the sounds of the bustling nightlife enveloped them. The neon lights illuminated the pavement, casting a colorful glow on everything around them. Yusei and 'Akiza' walked side by side, the connection between them deepening with every shared glance and laugh.

Inside the suit, Leo and Luna thought excitedly, their adrenaline pumping. This is it, Luna! Just a little longer, and we'll be at the arcade. Just remember, keep it together, Leo thought, his internal voice low yet filled with encouragement.

Luna nodded, her thoughts mirroring his. I will, Leo. I promise. I just hope we can keep this up without anyone finding out.

As they approached the arcade, the distant sounds of laughter and upbeat music filled the air, adding to their excitement. Yusei glanced down at 'Akiza', a small smile playing on his lips. "Ready to show me your moves?" he teased.

'Akiza' grinned back, her heart racing with a mix of anticipation and joy. "Absolutely! Let's go!"

And with that, they stepped into the arcade, ready to embrace the fun and each other in this whirlwind of a night. The adventure was just beginning, and neither of them could predict where it would lead.

As they made their way through the arcade, the vibrant chaos of flashing lights and energetic sounds enveloped Yusei and 'Akiza.' The rhythmic beats from the dance machines pulsed like a heartbeat, urging them forward into the exhilarating atmosphere. The air was alive with the excitement of fellow players, laughter ringing out amidst the occasional victorious shout.

Yusei guided 'Akiza' toward a brightly lit dance machine adorned with colorful graphics and enticing visuals. "Here we go!" he said, a hint of enthusiasm in his voice as he navigated to one of the illuminated dance pads. The upbeat music blared from the speakers, setting the tone for their next adventure.

As they selected their characters and began to warm up, Luna felt the rush of adrenaline flow through her. The game quickly became a whirlwind of movement as they danced in sync, mirroring each other's steps with an ease that felt natural. Laughter bubbled between them, fueling their friendly competition. It was exhilarating to see Yusei's face light up with joy, and she couldn't help but admire how effortlessly they seemed to connect.

However, just as the music reached its peak, Leo, controlling the legs of 'Akiza,' stumbled slightly—an intentional misstep as part of their plan. As 'she' leaned forward, Yusei instinctively reached out to steady her, their bodies colliding in an unexpected moment.

Time seemed to slow as their lips brushed together, a soft and tender kiss igniting the air around them. For a heartbeat, everything else faded away. The world outside the arcade ceased to exist; it was just the two of them in that moment. Yusei felt his heart race as he responded, drawn into the kiss with an intensity that surprised him.

When they finally pulled apart, both breathless and wide-eyed, Luna's heart raced with a mix of excitement and nervousness. "I-I'm sorry," she stammered, her cheeks burning a deep crimson. "I didn't mean to do that. I... I just wanted to see where it would lead."

Yusei, still processing the kiss, could only stare at her for a moment. His pulse quickened, and a smile crept onto his face. "It's okay," he replied softly, brushing a stray lock of hair from 'her' face. "I felt it too."

The arcade noises faded into the background, overshadowed by the electric tension lingering in the air between them. They stood there, caught in a moment of vulnerability, each contemplating the significance of what had just happened.

Yusei broke the silence, his voice low and earnest. "You know, we could go somewhere more private to talk about this." His gaze swept the bustling arcade, seeking a way to escape the prying eyes of the crowd.

Luna felt her heart skip a beat. She could sense where this was going, and to her surprise, she found herself eager to continue exploring the connection they had just discovered. "Where do you have in mind?" she asked, attempting to keep her tone casual, despite the excitement bubbling inside her.

Yusei's expression brightened, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes. "How about the Daedalus Bridge? It's a bit of a walk, but it's quiet and secluded up there. We'd have a great view of the city while we talk."

Inside the suit, Leo was buzzing with excitement. This is it, Luna! It's the perfect place to confess our love to Yusei! he thought enthusiastically.

Luna felt a surge of hope but also a hint of nervousness. Let's just hope he feels the same way about us as we do about him, she thought, her apprehension growing. What if he rejects us? What if everything falls apart? Her heart pounded in sync with Leo's excitement, a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. No. We've come too far. We have to see this through.

After a brief moment of consideration, Luna nodded, her heart racing with anticipation. "Alright," she whispered, a smile spreading across her face. "Let's go."

As they exited the arcade and stepped back into the cool night air, the city lights twinkled like stars against the darkened sky. The bustling streets were filled with life, but all Luna could focus on was Yusei's hand clasping hers. The walk toward Daedalus Bridge felt electric, each step heightening her anticipation.

With the fresh night air filling their lungs and the sounds of the city behind them, they set off toward the bridge, both excited and nervous about what was to come. The longer they walked, the more Luna's heart swelled with hope. Maybe tonight would be the night they could finally reveal their true selves to Yusei, and in doing so, they could forge a deeper bond with him than they had ever imagined.

The night had reached its zenith as Yusei and 'Akiza' stood on Daedalus Bridge, the shimmering lights of New Domino City below reflecting the stars above. The gentle breeze carried a sense of anticipation, and Yusei felt a familiar flutter of excitement mixed with curiosity. It was the perfect moment to voice the question that had been on his mind since their enchanting date.

"Akiza," he began, his voice steady yet filled with curiosity, "tonight has been extraordinary, and I couldn't help but wonder... why did you kiss me at Game Paradise?"

That was the cue Leo had orchestrated for the twins to begin shedding their disguise. Luna, now speaking in her and Leo's voice while letting go of her Akiza persona, replied enigmatically, "Yusei, we love you."

A surge of confusion washed over Yusei, his brow furrowing as he asked, "We? Akiza, what's going on here?"

With a mischievous smile, Luna unzipped the suit, and as the zipper and its teeth reappeared, she began to peel away the layers of their disguise. The breasts of the suit deflated, revealing their true identities. As the Akiza mask came off, Leo and Luna emerged, their eyes sparkling with excitement and mischief. Luna perched playfully atop Leo's shoulders, who still wore his casual outfit: a short-sleeved white jacket over a sleeveless dark blue shirt with golden markings, white shorts, and blue sneakers.

Surprise surged through Yusei's veins as he gazed at the radiant faces of his friends, Leo and Luna. The lifelike Akiza suit lay discarded at Leo's feet, and the truth behind the ruse was laid bare.

"Leo, Luna, I had no idea of your feelings for me. Is this true?" Yusei's voice trembled with a mix of emotions—shock, relief, and burgeoning affection.

The twins nodded in unison, their gray-gold eyes reflecting the depths of their feelings. "Yes, Yusei," Leo replied, sincerity ringing in his tone. "Luna and I love you."

Luna, still perched atop Leo, looked down with wide eyes. "Do you hate us for our deception?" she asked, her voice a blend of hope and anxiety.

Yusei's heart raced as the pieces fell into place—the peculiar behavior of 'Akiza,' the missing bracelets and medallion, the whispers of Leo and Luna that had echoed in her voice. Yet, despite everything, his affection for them remained unwavering. "Hate you?" he exclaimed, shaking his head vigorously. "I love you, Leo and Luna, as Akiza!"

A wave of elation washed over Leo and Luna, their plan having succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They shared a look of pure joy, their emotions swirling in unison.

"Leo," Luna whispered, her voice trembling with excitement, "he really loves us. Not just as Akiza, but as ourselves."

Leo grinned, his heart pounding with exhilaration. "I told you, Luna! Yusei cares about us—both as Akiza and as Leo and Luna. This is everything we hoped for!"

Luna exhaled shakily, her mind racing. "I can't believe it actually worked… but now, what do we do?"

Leo smirked, his confidence unwavering. "We keep doing what we've been doing—being with Yusei, loving him, and making sure this secret stays ours."

They nodded in agreement, their bond stronger than ever. With renewed excitement, they slipped back into the Akiza suit, the disguise transforming them once more into the beloved duelist. Leo's outfit remained unchanged, but Luna donned the mask again, and as they zipped up the suit, the breasts on the Akiza outfit inflated once more to their intended size, restoring the façade.

"Thank you for understanding," 'Akiza' said, her voice smooth and confident as she gazed into Yusei's eyes.

"You're welcome," Yusei replied softly, feeling a warmth spread through him. Without hesitation, he leaned in and kissed 'Akiza'—his lips meeting theirs with a sweet intensity that solidified their bond. In that moment, a throuple was formed, a relationship that transcended the norms of love and friendship.

From that day forth, a secret polyamorous relationship blossomed between the three of them. When in the presence of the real Akiza, their friends, and the rest of New Domino, Leo, Luna, and Yusei remained steadfast companions. The twins kept their Akiza suit hidden, cherishing the playful and affectionate dynamic they had created.

In the absence of the real Akiza, Yusei became the cherished lover of Leo and Luna, embracing the complexities of their unique bond. Their love story transcended boundaries, whispered among the celestial bodies, a testament to the enduring strength of friendship and the transformative power of love—a love that blossomed between a duelist and the twins who captured his heart.

Together, they navigated the ups and downs of their unconventional relationship, weaving a tapestry of shared moments and cherished memories, forever bound to one another through the twins' shared guise of 'Akiza Izinski'—a magical suit that had altered their lives in ways they had never anticipated. And as they looked up at the stars, they knew that their connection would shine brightly in the vast universe, illuminating their path ahead.

Epilogue

Yusei stood at Daedalus Bridge, the familiar sights of New Domino City stretching out before him as the sunset cast golden hues across the skyline. It was here, in this sacred space, that he had confessed his love to Leo and Luna—his twin lovers, hidden beneath the guise of 'Akiza Izinski.'

After Z-one's defeat, 'Akiza' had asked Yusei to meet her at the bridge, a place steeped in their shared memories. "Yusei..." she began, her voice steady yet filled with a hint of nervous anticipation. As the zipper and its teeth reappeared, 'she' began to unfasten the costume, the breasts of the suit deflating as the truth slowly emerged. Luna, perched atop Leo's shoulders, finally revealed their true identities.

Leo, still in his signature outfit—short-sleeved white jacket over a sleeveless dark blue shirt with golden markings, white shorts, and blue sneakers—held Luna, who wore her light pink short-sleeved jacket over a long-sleeved red shirt, light purple shorts, and black-and-pink sneakers. The life-like Akiza suit lay discarded at Leo's feet, a remnant of their charade.

"We have something important to tell you," the twins said in unison, their expressions serious yet filled with affection.

Luna's voice softened as she continued, "We received a letter from our parents. They want us to come live with them, but it would mean leaving New Domino City."

Leo added, "We're torn, Yusei. We want to stay with you, our love, and the gang, but we also want to be with our family."

Yusei listened intently, his heart heavy with the weight of their decision. The thought of losing Leo and Luna felt unbearable. He cherished their bond deeply, and the idea of being apart made him feel anxious.

"I have an idea," Yusei said, determination sparking in his eyes. "Why don't we make tomorrow a day to remember? You can watch me and Jack duel one last time, without the Akiza suit, as a final memory together in the city."

Leo and Luna exchanged a glance, their eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Yusei's suggestion was a thoughtful way to create lasting memories before any decisions were made.

"That sounds perfect," Luna replied, her voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Yusei."

Leo nodded, adding, "It's a wonderful idea."

The next day, the twins stood side by side at the duel arena, their eyes fixed on the intense battle unfolding before them. The energy in the air was palpable as Yusei faced off against the legendary Jack Atlas. Crow and the real Akiza stood beside them, a united front symbolizing the unbreakable bond they all shared.

As the duel progressed, Leo felt a swell of gratitude toward both Jack and Yusei. They had guided him through challenges, teaching him the value of determination and resilience. Memories flooded his mind—the epic duel against Yusei, the unwavering support from him and his sister's secret boyfriend, and the valiant battle alongside Jack against Aporia. They had given him the strength to protect Luna and to be the caring brother she needed.

Luna, too, found herself reminiscing about the man who held both her and Leo's hearts. She recalled the pivotal moment during her duel against Devack, where Yusei's unwavering belief in her had fueled her courage. It was their friends and their secret boyfriend who had shown them how to confront challenges head-on, embracing their duties without faltering.

A silent exchange between the twins conveyed years of shared experiences and unspoken emotions. From secret dates to stolen moments of affection shared under the guise of 'Akiza,' every memory had blossomed from that first transformative evening. They knew that this suit was more than just a disguise—it was a symbol of their love and connection with Yusei. Deciding to keep it, they vowed to cherish it forever, a reminder of the love they had built in secrecy and the bond that would endure no matter what the future held.

After Yusei and Jack's final turbo duel, Leo and Luna sought out Yusei for one last private meeting at Daedalus Bridge. As the sun began to set over the city, the twins stood before Yusei, their expressions a mix of determination and sorrow.

"Yusei," Leo began, his voice steady yet tinged with emotion, "Luna and I have made a decision. We're going to go with our parents. It's time for us to be together as a family again."

Luna nodded in agreement, her eyes glistening with tears. "But we want you to know that we'll never forget you. We'll always keep our secret relationship with you alive, along with our Akiza suit, no matter the distance. The suit is more than just a disguise to us now—it's a symbol of everything we've shared, and we'll cherish it forever."

Yusei's heart ached at the news, but he understood their choice. "I respect your decision. Family should always come first," he replied, though the weight of the moment felt heavy on his shoulders. With a heart full of bittersweet emotions, he bid farewell to Leo and Luna, watching as they disappeared into the horizon, their silhouettes etched against the fading light.

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Yusei found solace in the memories of their adventures together. He took comfort in knowing that the bond they shared would never be broken, no matter the distance. Meanwhile, Leo and Luna carried the love they shared with Yusei—a secret flame that burned brightly in their hearts.

They kept the lifelike Akiza suit that they had found in the abandoned lab in New Domino City, using it as a symbol of their enduring connection to Yusei. Even as they transitioned into young adulthood in London, the twins continued to wear the suit, its magical properties shrinking them to Akiza's height despite their growth.

The memories of their time together lingered in their minds, providing them strength and reminding them of the unbreakable bond they shared with Yusei. As time passed, the three lovers followed their paths in life, yet the love and memories they created remained a constant guiding light in their hearts.

Though separated by distance and circumstance, the connection they forged on that fateful day at Daedalus Bridge would forever bind them together—a tale of love and friendship that transcended time and space, echoing through their hearts like the rhythm of a cherished song.
