"Hgn! Jesse..." Jaden moaned.
"Jaden..."
"Aw, yeah. Just like that. Harder... harder!"
"Jaden!"
"Shit... Fuck, OW!"
"Mr. Yuki!"
Jaden's head snapped up from where he'd been sleeping on his folded arms to see Syrus, to his right, casting him a worried glance then to the front of the classroom to see Crowler with a face more screwed up than usual. Syrus groaned slowly slipping the ruler in his hand back into his bag.
"Ahahaha..." Jaden rubbed the back of his neck then stretched with a yawn. "Yahhh... Good dream."
Dr. Crowler grumbled for a moment, still narrowing his eyes at Jaden before continuing with his lesson. Jaden chuckled softly to himself, getting ready to put his head back down, when Syrus groaned.
"Jadennn. You were getting really loud near the end. Someone else could have heard you," he whispered with a worried grimace, before looking back to his book and feigning note-taking. "You better watch it."
Over Sy's head, he caught sight of Chazz leaning back in his seat. He seemed to be passively listening to the lecture, his face in that ever-present scowl.
Jaden hummed to himself and leant against his arm. "Don't worry. I will."
From the end of that class (because Jaden did end up falling back asleep) until the end of that week, Jaden kept an eye on the youngest Princeton whenever he noticed the boy around the school. It wasn't in terribly many places. The guy was a loner. If he wasn't in class, or in the mess hall, he was in his room.
Over the days, Jaden got more and more distracted: Instead of sleeping straight through class, he was watching Chazz take notes in between falling asleep. This started to influence his dreams.
"I'd like to do some fusion with you...I'm just a Slifer. I'm weak without your hand...Are you a giant Trunade? Because you blow me away...Unf! For you, I'm always in attack mode...Are you sure you didn't go back to Obelisk? Cuz you're tormenting me!...C'mon Chazz, lemme feel your Ojamuscle!"
Syrus, already bright red in the face, stared with an open mouth at his friend. But it wasn't long until he felt the gaze of Professor Banner, so, under the table, with all his might, he kicked Jaden in the leg. In doing so, the sleeping teen fell of his chair and landed heavily onto the floor. Syrus straightened up in his own chair but kept his head down towards the notes he discontinued taking when Jaden began sleep-talking.
Arms flopped onto the table and Jaden pulled himself up.
Banner's non-existent eyes turned to him. "Jaden?"
"Hehe, sorry! Fell off my chair."
"Indeed. Try not to distract your fellow students now."
It didn't stop there. During meals, instead of stuffing his face as per usual, he was watching Chazz eat.
The piece of shrimp tempura slipped from his chopsticks and made a big splash in his bowl of soy sauce.
"Woah! Jaden!"
"Oh shit! Sorry, guys!" he said to Alexis and Bastion beside him. Alexis was the more fortunate one, without sleeves. Bastion excused himself to go pre-soak his blazer. Jaden's was the one with the most sauce-damage, but he was still too lost in his thoughts to fully care.
Wiping her arm, Alexis reached over with a napkin. "You've got rice on your face."
In all his observing, Jaden occupied his relatively-non-indecent thoughts with how to go about wooing the black Slifer. They bickered, they dueled, they saved the world together, he thought of the boy as one of his friends, even though he knew the concept set Chazz's panties on fire...
Now how to get past all that... and into the pink bed of Chazz Princeton.
After all, with a big-headed jerkwad like Chazz Princeton, he needed a sweet game-plan.
Even with Jesse gone, Jaden had been allowed to keep the spare room they'd lived in for the last half year. Which was cool by Jaden, since he had no desire to leave the Slifer dorm. Syrus and Chumley still only lived a couple doors down. There were many upsides, including the privacy. Especially now with his build-up of sexual frustration, privacy was good.
The only thing to get used to these days was not having a roommate, and Alexis, having had the foresight that Jaden would get lonely, devoted a little portion more of her free time keeping him company -if not also to keep an eye on Jaden's progress with Chazz.
"You haven't made a move yet? It's been a week."
"I know. I'm just working on my strategy."
"For what? How to masturbate with you left if your right arm gets blown off?" On the bed, Alexis rolled over onto her stomach and looked at Jaden chuckling where he slouched on his computer chair. "What are you waiting for?"
"I dunno. An opening, a starting point. Can't just be like, 'Hey there, can I play with your Armed Dragon LV 10?'" Alexis snickered, before rolling back over onto her back. They both stared up at the ceiling.
"Hey, how did you guys get together?"
"Ummm... Oh yeah. It was my birthday. Remember we all went swimming by the docks. When we were all going back to our rooms for the night, he pulled me aside and wished me a happy birthday himself. He's had a crush on me for like ever, right? So he was totally awkward and nerdy." Alexis laughed. "It was cute. So I just thought, 'fuck it. It's my birthday. He's nice, he's my friend, he obviously cares about me, Imma have me some birthday sex.' And I did.
"Of course I told him I just wanted sex and that I still wasn't interested in dating anyone. And he was cool about it. So we started fooling around every now and then, always in his room, for obvious reasons," Girl dorms. "kept it low-key—"
"Fuck yeah, low-key. I had no idea!"
"Yeah, right? I mean, I'm not ashamed about it or anything, but I figure I'm not gonna start broadcasting something I'm not even seriously committed to. Like if I were to actually date someone, I wouldn't keep it a secret," Alexis trailed off, thoughts beginning to wander in and around the subject of dating and relationships.
"You go, girlfriend."
Alexis laughed. "So yeah, that's how it started." She smirked and Jaden nodded approvingly. "We probably get together a couple times a month now."
Jaden wheeled around in his chair, processing the story. "Hey, you sure it's cool if I try and fuck him? It wouldn't mess you guys up, would it?"
Alexis turned to him, waving her wrist. "Pfft, I have no problem with it. As long as I still get some when I want it, I don't mind what or who he does in the meantime."
They smiled at each other. And Jaden gave his two-fingered salute. "Bro, you are one cool cat." Alexis winked back to him, settling back against the wall, and snuggling Jaden's pillow in her lap. "Now if I can just get him to do me," he said softer, mostly to himself. He let his mind wander, sifting through the past week, his encounters with Chazz, Alexis' story...
"Your birthday was in September so it's been... four-five months now, huh?"
"Yup. Sounds about right."
Suddenly, Jaden blinked and it hit him. "Oh shit." He whipped around and jiggled the mouse until the computer screen came to life. "When's Chazz's birthday again?" Opening the browser, he went for the search engine.
"August 8." Jaden was vaguely aware that Alexis was getting up and walking towards him, but he was much more focused on typing in the date. "What's up?" She peered over his shoulder, his pillow still in her arms.
The screen showed the results. The bolded keywords stared back at him and next to them exactly what he'd been looking for.
"I knew it." He clicked on a link.
No lie, guys. Episode 35, Chazz's bed is pink :D
If anyone is confused about this sort of semi-alternate universe, I hope this helps: In the summary I said that this was not a duel academy fic at all. What I meant was that the theme was more mature than what the school setting usually implies. As you can see, I've aged them all about three years. I realize there is a dark plot hole that questions what they are doing here at this age, so I propose you see this as a sort of duel academy university. One needs to go somewhere for a PhD in dueling, haha. I toyed with the idea of making this story completely AU but the YGOGX verse just kept crawling back. So there you have it. I hope you can envision it with all my alterations here and there. If anyone has any further questions, don't be shy to drop me a message.Thank you to everyone who has alerted, favourited, and reviewed :] Y
