Chapter 2

The Two New Lovers

Ever since Blair returned to being a dark witch, reunited with her partner Adrian and cursed the Yuki family, the Andersen family members that are angels have done everything they could to protect the Yuki family. But sadly, many of the cursed Yuki family members have lived their lives in fear and terror. Seeing the Yuki family experience fear unlike anyone else has, Blair and Adrian could only feel satisfied that their curse is going well.

Years and generations past since James and Annalise's time, and the curse is waiting to kick in on the next victim. Having to be immortal, Blair and Adrian have remained at the age of twenty so they could enjoy the work of their curse on the Yuki family.

And so, present day, at the Duel Academy, one young student in the Slifer Red dorms, Jaden Yuki is slacking off in the fields next to the academy. Laying in the ever-green grass, staring up at the clear blue sky, feeling the cool breeze against him, Jaden dreams and thinks about his closest friends and the one person he cherishes the most out of all of them.

Not too far from where Jaden is, one of his friends, a teen that is the same age as him with spiky teal hair and charming emerald eyes, sighs in annoyance. "He should be around here somewhere." said Jesse. Then, a couple minutes later, as he climbs a hill, Jesse let out another sigh of annoyance now that he found Jaden.

"There you are, you slacker!" Jaden hears a voice not too far from his spot on the hill.

Sitting up, Jaden smiles when he sees it's Jesse, his best friend and his boyfriend. The two had been together ever since Jesse's transfer to the academy with Axel Broadie, Jim Cook, and Adrian Gekko. You hardly see them apart nowadays. Since they are so close, the two boys had even started dating a couple months ago.

Shaking his head in annoyance, Jesse walked over to the brunette and sat next to him. "Why is it you always slack off from doing any work during and after class?"

Laying back on his back on the grass, Jaden reply with his eyes locked with Jesse's, "Today's weather and temperature is perfect, so I've been relaxing out here. Who would miss the chance to enjoy a really nice day like this?"

Seeing that Jaden has a point, Jesse gave him a smile as he laid next to him, watching the clear blue sky. "I gotta admit, today is a very nice day." said Jesse as Jaden snuggled closer to him and the two just laid there, enjoying their lover's company on such a perfect day.

After a few minutes of Jaden and Jesse snuggling with Jesse still staring at the perfect sky, Jaden then whispered to Jesse, "If only there were more days like this more often."

"Why, so you could slack off from school again?"

"No, so I could share them with only you, Jesse."

Gently holding the back of his head with one hand, Jesse gently pulled Jaden's face up, face him, and plant a tender kiss full of nothing but love that they only share between each other. When they broke the kiss, Jesse smiled passionately at him and said, "I would enjoy sharing this kind of day with only you. In fact, I would always enjoy spending time with you."

Returning his smile, Jaden kissed Jesse back and went back to resting next to him. Running his fingers through his hair as Jaden slept peacefully next to him, Jesse couldn't help but feel his heart become full of sadness and worry for his lover. "Sooner or later, that curse will activate and make you suffer like the other members of your family have." but his face became stern. "But as your guardian angel, I will keep you safe from the Devil's Curse. I promise you that, Jay." Then Jesse kissed Jaden on the forehead and he too fell asleep under the clear blue sky and the ever shinning sun.

Jesse didn't know that he is an angel until his tenth birthday, but he didn't know that he is a guardian angel to one member of the Yuki family until he was fifteen and he didn't learn that his best friend Jaden is the one who has him as his guardian angel until a month after the two had first met. To know that his destiny as an angel is to protect Jaden Yuki from the Devil's Curse, Jesse couldn't be anymore happier about being closer to his lover this way.
