Love Bite
Chapter 1: Diagnosis

------------

"...Mmm...mmm..." Jaden moaned, just as he had been doing constantly during the previous hours.
This night was just as uncomfortable as the last night, and the night before that, and the night before that one...
Actually, this was occurring every night since his last duel with...well, he couldn't remember anymore.
The problem was, the routine was tiring to him and everyone who had to share a bunk bed with him.
He'd toss and he'd turn, eventually rip the blankets off of himself, sit up, panting,
then try to go back to the sleep he'd never really fallen into in the first place.
And even if he was lucky enough to drift away into a dream,
that didn't spare his roommates from his resounding moans throughout the otherwise silent night.

Syrus sat up in his bed - which was the middle bunk - with sheets wrapped tightly around his head and pillows on either side in an attempt to block out the sound. His eyes were wide, almost delirious with sleeplessness,
soon there'd be dark circles under them to accompany his zombified stare.
The small teal haired boy slowly climbed down to the ground where the bottom bunk cradled the other Slifer Red student.
First, he looked up towards the very top of the three-stacked-bed; of course, he was alone tonight with Jaden's noises all to himself.
Their third roommate changed rooms often, so each night they'd always have someone new to keep awake.
Nobody wanted to stay long once they experienced trying to sleep here for a night.

Tonight was Chazz's turn to share a room with them, except he didn't show, he was too smart for that.
As if he wasn't already annoyed enough by the particular Slifer slacker,
being kept up for 8 hours straight by him would top everything else he'd done to piss him off in the past.

Syrus sighed, putting down his futile defense of pillows and blankets, before creeping up to the bedside.
He looked down at Jaden who was deep in sleep, limbs sprawled carelessly,
but he didn't look comfortable as his expressions showed he was struggling to sleep.
Syrus was going to have to wake him anyway,
he just hoped Jaden wasn't having any dreams that would cause him to suddenly grab him - that happened before and it wasn't pleasant, getting groped like a girl wasn't something he wanted to remember his friend doing to him.

"Hey..." He started poking at Jaden's bicep. "Hey... Jay...?" His poking turned to pushing, then to shoving.

"Mmm...!" Jaden moaned irritably as he swatted around blindly to shoo Syrus.

"Jaden, you have to wake up." He tried again, but now his tries were being ignored. "Jaden! Wake up already!"

The slumbering Slifer's arm suddenly shot up and seized Syrus' wrist; he was too slow to retract before this happened.
Jaden's eyes only split open the slightest - surely not enough to see anything - that meant he was still in sleep.

Syrus had his free hand clamped over his mouth to seal a scream he almost released in shock.

...One wrong move and he could easily be forced into a disturbing and traumatizing experience...

He stayed very still and silent, praying Jaden would eventually loosen his grip and then he'd be able to slip away,
till then he could only wait while shivering in suspense.
That's when he noticed Jaden was ever so slowly reeling him in; he felt like an insect stuck in a venus fly trap,
fully aware of his encroaching killer yet unable to prevent it from eating him alive.

Now that was a disturbing image: Jaden eating him alive...in such a way that would almost make him consider purposely surrendering.

Syrus shook his head furiously to clear the creepy images, but he soon came to regret forgetting not to move.

If Jaden was a spider and Syrus was a fly caught in a web,
then you could say the fly just tugged on that web and brought the spider's attention towards his soon-to-be dinner.

"Ahh!" Syrus gasped as he fell forward, slamming into his friend's chest as his arm was jerked and he landed on top of Jaden.

Damn glasses! It was times like these that he really started to consider trading them in for contacts,
because now he couldn't see too well, his glasses must've fell off when he was pulled down by the other Slifer.
He now had no choice but to feel around the bed blindly for them, but the bed wasn't all he was feeling.

Oh no... He felt along several parts of the boy underneath him, the most frightening part being a very hard something...
Thathard thing was throbbing underneath his touch, and when he tried to move his hand away,
another hand placed itself over his to keep him from leaving.

"Ohhh...don't stop..." Jaden groaned into his ear, then a tongue came up to tease his lobe.

"Oh my god!!!" Syrus shrieked when he felt the moist muscle trailing along the flesh of his ear.

"Mmm...yeah...you like that?" Jaden then pushed upwards to try and dip his tongue into the canal.

The teal haired teen shoved his friend back down into the mattress;
oh, but he must've forgotten where one of his hands were when he applied that force.

"Ahh, yes...!" Jaden released in passion, his lower half bucked up against Syrus, begging for more contact.

"Ahh!! No!!" The smaller boy yanked his hand out of the brunette's tightening grip and rolled backwards off the bed.
Once he felt the floor against his back, he struggled to pull himself up, turn himself over, ANYTHING!

Jaden wasn't pleased with his lover's retreat, he wasn't done with him yet, and so he pursued him on the ground.
The older boy slipped down onto the floor as well, then proceeded to crawl after the younger.
Seeing this made Syrus freeze for a moment in fear. What was Jaden going to do to him? Rape him?
The moment he stopped to stall gave Jaden enough of an advantage to show him just what he was going to do to him.

"No!! Plea---!" His screams were smothered by hungry lips claiming his own.
His muffled cries failed to reach his attackers ears, and even if they did,
he was beginning to doubt the sleep-walking Slifer would wake up at all.

Tonight just had to be the night that their third roommate wasn't present...just great...nobody was around to save him right now.

After a minute of sharing his steamy affection with the younger boy's lips,
Jaden broke away to give his attention to other areas of his body, starting with the closest mass of exposed flesh...his neck.

"Ah...! Jaden, st-stop!" Syrus started sweating, but that only acted as more incentive for the brunette to lick on his skin.
The smaller boy's body was feeling like a limp noodle now, he really wanted to fight back if he could,
but he couldn't get his weak little limbs to respond, right now the only thing responding was located in his pants.

"Mm... What's wrong?" Jaden asked softly between the multiple kisses he placed along the curve of the neck near his lips.

"I..." The words disappeared just as he got the chance to voice his protest. "I...uhh...stop..."
Syrus wasn't sounding like he seriously meant for him to stop,
not while he was failing to keep down faint sounds of pleasurable appreciation.

To his relief, Jaden drew back anyway. "Oh...?" The Slifer took a moment to observe his lover, then his surroundings.
Syrus' heart jumped. Maybe he was finally starting to wake up and would realize what was going on in reality!

"Ah, I see..." He spotted the pillows and blankets left on the floor by Syrus when he came down from his bunk,
then he scooped them up and placed the pillows behind the younger boy's head. "So you came prepared."

All hope was lost when he realized the only idea his attacker gathered from his observations was that Syrus wanted to do it
on the floor and brought the items to make the area more comfortable for their love making.

"How do you like it, from the front or the back?" The older boy kindly asked,
at least he was taking his lover's comfort into consideration.

"Uhhmm...th-the uhh..." Syrus stuttered. This was more than being nervous or flustered, this was insanity!
He never planned to be in this position, especially not with his best friend, not like this!
"Uhhhhmmm...!!" He was shivering violently and his eyes grew wider than they'd ever been before.

Jaden only smiled softly and hushed him with a single finger pressed to his lover's lips.
"Don't worry...just relax..." His whispers tickled the small boy's skin as he felt hot breath caress his neck,
which was still moist from when it had been thoroughly attended to by the gentle brushing of a tongue.

The brunette leaned into the boy underneath him to apply another kiss to his slightly parted lips,
this time he was going to make the kiss deeper.

All Syrus could do was whimper as the older boy's mouth approached his.

That's when...

"What the hell?!"

The couple snapped their heads up towards the door, where in the entrance stood the black clothed Slifer, 'The Chazz' Princeton.
"Have you guys been doing this every night while people are trying to sleep?
Now I see why everybody's been requesting to switch rooms."

Syrus hastily shoved the older boy off of him to escape. "No! He attacked me!" He pointed accusingly down at his attacker.

"Uh-huh..." Chazz sounded sarcastic.

"I'm serious! He was asleep, moaning loudly like he did every other night, so I tried to wake him, but then he grabbed me and---!"

The black Slifer raised his hand to silence Syrus as he stopped over at Jaden,
who was still sitting on the floor now looking like he was lost.
"Yo, slacker! You awake?" He waved around in front of his face.
Chazz's arm seemed to catch Jaden's attention, and in turn Jaden caught Chazz's arm.

"What the...?" He began to understand what might've happened to Syrus when the brunette used the limb he'd captured
as a branch to pull himself up and bring himself closer to his prey.

Syrus gasped as he helplessly watched another victim fall to Jaden's desires.

"Don't just stand over there! How about helping me?!" Chazz called over the shoulder of the boy who was busy ravaging his neck.

The teal haired teen shook his head furiously in refusal. "I don't wanna get raped again!"
Then he retreated up to the top bunk to hide under the covers.

"Gah!" Chazz regretted saving Syrus now that he didn't have enough guts to at least return the favor.
Jaden held onto the collar of that black jacket with a death grip as he feasted upon pale flesh;
it was discomforting to feel that talented tongue playing over his skin, he wasn't supposed to be getting turned on by his adversary!
"Jaden, get the hell off of me!" He reached to his own collar to peel Jaden's fingers off, and they easily let go...

Wait a minute...why? Didn't he have a death grip just a second ago? Well, now that grip relocated to Chazz's hair.

The brunette's fingers tangled themselves into the back of Chazz's raven black spikes,
his tongue also relocated to a warmer place: Chazz's mouth.
He'd slipped in when the black Slifer's defenses dropped for that minute he wondered why Jaden had let go of him,
now the discomfort was overwhelming as that same talented tongue that played on his skin was now playing
inside his hot, wet cavern.
His eyes shut down slowly, along with his thought process as he savored the taste of the sweet brunette.
It was only when the sound of a squeak from Syrus reached his mind that he was able to snap out of his sexual trance and fight back.

Chazz took advantage of his position and shoved his tongue as deep as he could into the other boy's mouth to gag him.
Jaden pulled away from the invading object as expected and Chazz pushed him the rest of the way to make him lose his balance.
He fell down on his butt, then when Chazz climbed on top of him and straddled him, his back went flat on the ground.

"Whoo! Go, Chazz, go!" Syrus cheered, twirling a pillow case in celebration.

Believe it or not, this whole time Jaden never really opened his eyes,
but now he finally looked up with those full chocolate colored eyes to see what was going on.
"Chazz...?" His voice sounded slow and sleepy.

"Don't tell me you just now woke up?!" Chazz was in slight disbelief that Jaden could be such a deep sleeper that he wasn't aware of all the action he was in a while ago.

Jaden looked around to see Syrus looking concerned down at him from the very top bunk. "What happened?"
And when he started to sit up, he felt himself pinned down by Chazz. "Why are you on top of me?"

Chazz sighed. "This is gonna be a strange story, but believe me, I ain't gonna lie about this. You can even ask Syrus for his testimony."

---

"I'm sorry, guys." Jaden apologized for like, the 5th time since hearing of what he did mercilessly to his friends.
"I have no idea what could be wrong with me." He slapped a hand to his face and lowered his head,
he felt hopeless knowing he couldn't control himself and could've harmed his friends.

Syrus put an arm around him to give him even the smallest amount of comfort he had to offer. "It's ok, Jaden."

Chazz glanced over when Syrus put his arm around Jaden,
that's when he took notice of a small red spot on the side and a little bit behind the brunette's neck.
"What's that?" He poked it to bring the other two boy's attentions to it.

"Huh?" Jaden turned his head to look, but it's not like he'd be able to see his own neck from any angle anyway.

Syrus got closer to inspect it, along with Chazz.
"It looks kind of like...a bite...of some sort." There were clearly two healed puncture marks in the area.

"A bite?" Jaden immediately recalled recent events, trying to remember when he might've been bitten and by what.

"There's two puncture marks, so it's not a mosquito." Syrus couldn't identify it any further. "Maybe a spider or something else?"

"How have you been feeling lately?" Chazz added.

"Let's see... My heart beats more rapidly, I feel fluttery sensations inside sometimes...
Oh, and I often feel hot all over even though other's tell me my temperature feels normal to them."

"Anything else?"

"Err..." Jaden's face lit up with a blush. "Well...there are times when my mind wanders away while I'm talking to someone,
and there's inappropriate images...mainly featuring the person I'm talking to at the time.
The creepy thing is, it's been happening with just about anybody; hot or not!"

"What? You mean, like, Crowler?!" Chazz and Syrus' faces both twisted at that thought.

Jaden bit his lip, then admitted. "...Umm...yeah..."

"Ok, that's it!" Chazz slammed his hands down, he'd heard enough, that was all he needed to come to his conclusion.
"You're going to the infirmary! You've seriously got a sickness or something that needs treatment!" He declared,
and Syrus nodded in agreement. The two helped to get Jaden moving and guided him the rest of the way to see the nurse.

---

Jaden rolled around restlessly in bed as he anticipated the nurse's return.

Of course Syrus and Chazz were there too, waiting at his bedside, just as eager to recieve the results.
None of them could ignore the foreboding look they saw on the nurse's face when she first inspected the bite,
now so many horrible illnesses were coming to mind when they wondered what could possibly be wrong.

"I'm scared..." Syrus muttered faintly.

Jaden rolled his head to the side when he didn't catch what he heard clearly. "What?"

Syrus looked up at him with big sad eyes, like an abandoned puppy. "I don't want you to die!"
He outbursted and threw his body over Jaden's in a hug.

"Don't worry..." A reassuring female's voice said from behind them. "It's not fatal."

Jaden looked up and saw the nurse with a clipboard. "Did you find out what's wrong with me, Ms. Fontaine?"

"I did." She replied. "But... I do have some bad news."

"What?!" Hearing that only helped to revive Syrus' fears.

"Like I said, it's not fatal, so you don't have to worry about that."

"So what's wrong with me?"

"You've been bitten. I'm not completely sure what bit you, but I do know what the bite will do to you.
That's why, until we know for sure what it was, I've dubbed it 'The Love Bug'."

"The Love Bug?" Syrus' eyebrows raised curiously.

"You can't be serious..." Chazz slapped his own forehead, as if things couldn't get any more stupid than this.

"Bitten by the love bug? What's that mean?" Jaden was clueless.

"It means you will soon feel overwhelmed with a craving...for love...or rather, lust." Ms. Fontaine wasn't quite sure how to put it.

"Can't you cure him?" Syrus asked.

"The only cure I'm aware of is going to be the hardest thing for him to do...
He'll just have to ignore it until it goes away on it's own, like a mosquito bite.
But the longer he starves his lust, the stronger his urge will become."

"What'll happen if I give into it?" Jaden asked.

"It'll only satisfy your craving temporarily, then it'll come back stronger than ever, and the more often you give into it,
the longer you'll have to wait for the effects of the bite to wear off."

"He made out with me and Syrus." Chazz reminded her. "Does that count as giving into his urge?"

"Not completely, because he didn't satisfy it. In other words, he has to actually...have sex, whether it be oral or...whatever else.
Once he...cums, the urge will die down for a while, then it'll be replaced with a stronger one."
Ms. Fontaine was feeling awkward choosing words during her explanation,
but she had to be clear about it so the students would understand.
"We're just lucky masturbation doesn't do anything in this case." She continued.
"So all we have to do is inform everyone else of his condition so they'll know what to do and what not to do."

"Does that mean I don't have to go to class in the morning?" Jaden sounded hopeful for an excuse to skip school work.

"I'm afraid not." Ms. Fontaine chuckled and gave a pat to the top of his head.
"You're still able to continue with your normal everyday activities so far,
and this medication should help you to fall asleep without waking up in the middle of the night, not even to sleep-walk."

"Aw...ok. Guess I should catch up on as much sleep as I can get before the sun rises." He took the pills prescribed to him and got up.

"You all go back to bed now, I'll take care of informing everyone about this.
But if anything should happen, please report it to me as soon as possible." The nurse waved to the boys leaving.

"Got it." Jaden gave a thumbs up back to Ms. Fontaine before he exited the office with the other two.

---

Jaden went back to sleep as soon as he got back to his dorm, and with the help of the prescription Ms. Fontaine gave him,
he never woke up to any discomfort, and neither of his roommates woke up to the sound of his howling throughout the night.
Everything seemed to be in order again. Before they knew it, Jaden would be back to his old self as if he'd never been bitten.
Or would he...?
