It was already becoming night time already and Jaden was really tired at this point, she had made sure to take out her sleeping bag out of her backpack, as well as same cat food for Pharaoh to eat as well as a small bowl of water before she want to sleep in her sleeping bag. The last thing that run through her mind before sleep had tooken ahold of her was of Jesse.

He yawned for what felt like the millionth time that day as he continued to search for Jaden. He had refused to let himself to rest until he found Jaden, and it was better to travel during the night time anyway since it was much cooler at this time than during the day time. He had even ignored his duel spirits when they tried to get him to rest. He ignored them because he could find Jaden much faster like this way, knowing that Jaden probably want to sleep at night made his chances of finding him even better than in the day time. In the day time he would have a harder time moving around because of the scolding heat that the desert would bring during the day, but during the night he would be able to move more quickly and would be able to find Jaden in no time at all. And much to his surprise and also to his relief, he had found Jaden sleeping in a sleeping bag rather quickly than he first assumed he would have found him.
"Jaden," he sighed softly before he bent down on one knee to move a strand of hair out of Jaden's face. By all means Jaden, in his own opinion, was very beautiful, his lips looked really soft and right at this moment he really wanted to kiss the other so badly, but he couldn't do that to his best friend, especially when he was asleep.
He didn't bother to pull out his own sleeping bag because he was too tired to do so, but he did lay down by Jaden and waited for him to wake up, not realizing he had fallen asleep soon after he had laid down. Pharaoh the cat watched the scene play out before him as the spirit orb of Professor Banner circled around the cat. The cat in question reached out with his muzzle and caught the spirit orb with his mouth before he want to cuddle himself against Jaden's chest.
Jaden had woken up with a start, she had just been dreaming about Jesse hating her for hiding the fact she was female from her and called her disgusting, tears run down her face as she remembered the dream. She hadn't noticed that she had accidentally startled Pharaoh awake who shrieked as he rolled off of her, she blinked for a few seconds to get the tears to stop before she had noticed that someone was laying down right next to her. But it wasn't just same random stranger either, it was who she just had a dream about. Jesse was sleeping right next to her, his face was nuzzled against her sleeping bag as one of his arms warped around her waist holding her tightly against his body.
"Wha? Jesse!!" Jaden screamed as she tried to get loose from Jesse's strong grab in her but failed, her face was also bright red. She sighed, there was no way she could budge the sleeping male off, so she just gave up. Yubel in her spirit form just laughed at her attempt to get away from said boy. Instead of starting an argument with Yubel, Jaden just want back to sleep and unconsciously cuddled against Jesse's chest.
Night had already fallen again, Jesse was starting to wake up from his slumber, the first thing he noticed was that Jaden was sleeping against his chest. But something was little off, Jaden's chest area didn't feel flat like it should be, but instead he felt two big soft things pressed against his chest. And for the first time ever in his life he had finally realized that Jaden wasn't really a boy at all, he never really noticed or paid attention because of the black turtleneck shirt that she had always wore along with her jacket. He knew black colored shirts can sometimes easily hide a girl's chest from guys especially when wet, he began to wonder why Jaden had never told him that she was girl and why she hid it in the first place, did she not trust him?
He was a slightly relieved that he wasn't gay like he had first thought he was. He untangled himself from her, letting her sleep just a little longer for now as he started up to make them something to eat first as well as make a changing area for her.

A delicious smell had hit Jaden's nose causing her to slowly wake up from sleep, she let out a small yawn as she seat up in her sleeping bag. She stretched her arms out and shook her body a little bit as she did so, it felt nice and a small smile graced her lips. Until she realised that Jesse was no longer next to her, she started to panick thinking that she must have only dreament of him laying beside her.
"Oh, Jay, your awake," a voice came from the direction of the delicious smell. She turned her head slightly to the side to see Jesse cooking something in a huge pot, she started to wondered how he was able to find wood in the middle of the desert.
"Jess? How did you find me so quickly? But my bigger question is how did you get the wood to start a camp fire? Last time I checked, the desert doesn't have any trees," She was so confused but yet hungry at the same time, she wanted to change her clothes as well. It was obviously really hot wearing the clothes she was currently wearing, but she didn't want to undress in front of a the guy she had a bond with, it made her feel embarrassed to imagine himl staring at her naked body.
"To answer your first question, I have my ways and for the second one I used Cobalt Eagle to find same wood for the fire. I also set up a changing area just in case you wanted to get changed, since I know how you like to change in privacy," he points towards a small changing area he had made with his broken tent. Jaden smiled at him grateful to be able to change without him looking at her.
"Thanks Jess," she grabbed her backpack and put it into the make shift changing room. Before she want to change her clothes, she rolled up her sleeping bag.
Once she had entered the changing room, she quickly took off her overwhelming heated clothes and changed into a black T-shirt not realizing that the T-shirt made her breast pop out slightly, since she didn't like wearing a bra and put on white booty shorts before putting back on her socks and shoes. She put a simple red sleeveless vest with a hoodie over her black T-shirt, she had put her other clothes into her backpack before leaving the make shift changing room. Jesse was done cooking by the time she had gotten done changing, she smiled at what he had cooked. He had made her favorite food which was fried shimp and also had made same soup to go with the shimp.
"That looks really good, Jesse," she states as she puts her bag next to his before joining him on a blanket he had set up to keep the sand off of their skin and clothes.
"Thanks Jay," he hands her a bowl of soup as well as giving her a plate full of shimp.
They eat their food in peaceful silence, enjoying being in each other's company. Once they were done eating they had put away all the dishes and cooking supplies, Jesse took care of the small camp fire well Jaden folded the blanket before putting it away in Jesse's beg. They had both agreed to travel together since Jesse didn't want Jaden to survive out here on her own since she could have easily had straved herself if she wasn't careful. And Jaden loved having Jesse around, so it was a win win situation for both of them.
