As the day passed away, Jaden had found himself looking more and more often to Syrus. The new transfer had completely caught his attention. Syrus made Jaden feel something completely new, and he was keen of finding out more about this mysterious feeling.
However, the only way he could have done that was to get know Syrus, but every time he had tried to speak with the bluenette, the words seemed to get stuck in his throat. Around Syrus, he felt…shy. Something he did not feel very often. Besides, it seemed that the younger boy was pretty distant and quiet towards everyone. So far, he had not had much contact with anyone of their class, unless it was completely necessary. Like when asking about the school grounds.
But Jaden wasn't going to give up. He would try, until he had gotten the conversation with Syrus. The words 'give up' didn't belong into his dictionary.
All this Jaden though while walking back into his room. The sun had almost gone away, since he had had to stay longer in class in detention. One of his teachers had noticed that he had not been paying attention in class, so he had gotten a punishment.
He soon enough reached his room. He unlocked the door slowly and opened the door…only to find half-naked Syrus behind it.
Jaden had to put a hand on his mouth that he would not scream, not from fear or something really, just a really big amazement.
"Oh, hello. You're Jaden Yuki, aren't you? My new roommate?" Syrus asked in his soft voice.
Jaden got his voice back, hearing the bluenette speak, and answered: "Roommate? I did not know I was going to get a roommate"
"They didn't inform you about this? I must say that's pretty careless for them. But anyway, I was told that we are going to share a room from now on. You don't mind, do you?"
"No, no, not at all. In fact it'd be pretty nice to have some company in this room for once. I used to have a roommate in my first year, but he moved out year after" Jaden answered
"Oh really? Are you that bad of a roommate?" Syrus asked in joking manner, chuckling softly. Jaden found himself loving his soft, quiet laugh.
"Ha ha, very funny. But as for an answer, no. He was already on his last year here, and he passed the school with good grades. He's a real angel now." Jaden said with a little dreamy voice.
"Is that your dream too?" Syrus asked, smiling softly
"Hell, yeah! It's been since I was a kid! My goal is to become a high angel someday too! Then, I'll do all that I can to make relationship between heaven and hell better!"
"You approve hell, too?" Syrus asked, sounding surprised, but in a happy manner.
"Yep. I think it's wrong that fallen angels and demons are misunderstood the way they are. I really don't believe they are that bad"
Syrus smiled at him, and went to sit down on his bed. Then, he looked up, as if realizing something.
"We haven't introduced ourselves formally, have we? I'm Syrus, Syrus Truesdale" He said in a friendly voice, reaching his hand out. Jaden took it, and shook it.
"I'm Jaden Yuki, nice to meet you, Sy. Welcome to this room"
"Thanks. Oh, I took a bath a while ago. Do you want to take one as well? I left the water"
(A/N: In Japan, the whole family uses the same bath water. They wash themselves before going into the water, so it doesn't get dirty)
"I would like that. I'll see you then"
Jaden took a long and relaxing bath. After he came out, he found Syrus in his pajamas, reading a comic book on his bed. Jaden had also changed into his pajamas. Syrus Gazed up from his reading and said: "Did you have a nice bath?"
"Yes, very"
After that, they talked for many hours, way longer than midnight. Jaden found out that Syrus had many same interests as him, though he was just a bit more quiet than he himself was. They came along very well, and by the time they were too sleepy to talk anymore, and decided to go to sleep, they had became friends.
"Goodnight, Jaden" said Syrus
"G'night, Sy"
