A/N: Thank you everyone for your input. I think I know what I shall do now. If it is not what you requested, then I am sorry. But everyone has different opinions. And I thought about it for some time; about your reviews (requests), my desires, and how the relationships now were working out. And I've come to my decision. I think most of you will be happy with it, and I know I am. You might not be happy about other things, but, that's the way it goes. And it's for humorous purposes to relieve the angst and drama. Everything has been planned out, and everything is now instituted for a purpose. So nothing is changed. On with the chappie!

Warning: Characters display OOCness in certain parts of the chappie. Then they strangely switch back to normal. It's supposed to be funny and exaggerated. And Chazz has problems, some of which we know, and some of which we don't…yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own GX, Chazz, Jesse, or Jaden. Damn, it sux to be poor. XDD


Chapter 4:

Chazz hurried to Jesse's room late in the afternoon. The wind blew, ruffling his ebony spikes and chilling him to the bone. He really wished that winter wasn't coming.

He bounded up the stairs two by two, until he was out of breath. Finally, he reached Jesse's room. He banged on the door, panting.

"Hey," Jesse greeted as he opened the door. His smile fell when he saw Chazz. "Oh, hey, Chazz. What brings you here?"

"I….got…to…talk…to…you…" Chazz gasped, leaning his hands on his knees, "Important."

"Well, Ok, if you insist. Come inside before you freeze to death."

Chazz only nodded and stepped inside the toasty room. Immediately, he felt calmer and more collected.

"So, what's it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Jesse asked, sitting on the couch.

"Well, um…I'm sorry for what I said to Jaden. I didn't mean to upset you. It's just, slacker and I don't exactly get along…"
Jesse bristled. "The only reason you don't get along is because you're always wantin' to start a fight. Maybe if you just gave him a chance--"

"I don't want to!" Chazz snapped, then quickly regained his composure, and muttered an apology.

Jesse frowned slightly. "Chazz, you're not really sorry, are ya?"

"No," Chazz admitted, looking down. He knew what was coming next.

A long silence followed as the two sat still on the couch. Awkward tension filled the room as neither boy dared to look at the other. Finally, Chazz spoke again.

"Jesse, please don't leave me," Chazz's voice now held that whiny, desperate pitch about it, "I love you. I don't want to be hurt by the one I love…again."
Jesse sighed heavily. "Chazz, listen. If you don't like Jaden, then why do you like me? I mean, Jay and I are like two peas in a pod; we're just that much alike. He's sorta like a twin to me…the one I never had. If you can't stand him, what makes me any better? Why do you love me and not him? Am I just someone to put your misplaced feelings about Alexis on?"

Chazz blushed deeply. "No, I promise you, I really do have feelings for you."

"Well, I'm afraid to say I don't think so if you're acting like this," Jesse shook his head, "Now, I don't particularly like drama, but I reckon I'll have to live with it for now. Chazz, I guess what I'm trying to say is…I'm not sure about this. I think I made a mistake and jumped in too fast."

"No, no, no!" Chazz protested, flinging his arms about in a wild gesture of distress, "Please, Jes, gimme another chance!"

"Please, don't call me that." Jesse almost moaned in misery, hoping Chazz would stop whining. Not to mention he secretly did not want Chazz calling him 'Jes.' Why? Only Jaden was allowed to call him that, them being best friends and all. Not that he had any other feelings for the boy.

Jesse sighed as the youngest Princeton broke down into hysterics. He wasn't crying, but Jesse would have rather he did. No, it was far worst. He was ranting incoherently. Jesse couldn't even understand him.

When he'd first gotten involved in this relationship, Chazz had seemed a lot more…sane. At this point, he was too high-maintenance, and Jesse couldn't keep him under control. Neither could he console him when he flipped out. It was true, Chazz did have his calm, sexy moments, but they weren't frequent enough to make up for all his arrogance, stupidity, and clumsiness. Well, it would've been cute, had Jesse not been so laid back or had he not had to put up with it constantly. He had to admit, Chazz was really getting on his nerves, especially at that moment.

"--and you wouldn't believe all the crap I had to deal with this morning!" Chazz complained angrily, "Why do you even like Jaden at all? He's annoying and he won't leave me alone! Tell him to leave me alone when I'm eating, studying, sleeping, or existing for that matter. And did I tell you my frickin' brothers--"

Jesse tuned him out and sighed. He could not believe he had put up with Chazz's complaints day and night for two weeks now.

"--not to mention that bastard Atticus tried to get me to--"

"He's still at it," Jesse sighed to himself again as he once more tuned Chazz out.

"--and, damn, I hate that kid. He reminds me of this teacher that I had who always gave me detention and--"

"It's one big, long run-on sentence with him." Jesse inwardly groaned, then said tiredly, "That's nice, Chazz, but dontcha think we could talk about something else other than your problems?"

Chazz scowled deeply. "Fine! What do you want to talk about?"

"What an overbearing jerk you are…" Jesse thought, but said aloud, "I dunno, something pleasant, like, dueling?"

"You sound like Jaden, for Pete's sake," Chazz snapped, looked flustered.

Jesse narrowed his emerald eyes a bit. "Got a problem with that?" By then, he was more than annoyed. "You're one ornery fellow, huh, Chazz?"

Chazz only growled in response.

"What put you in such a bad mood?"

"I JUST TOLD YOU!!!!!!!!!!"

Jesse winced, moving back a little. "What is WRONG with you, boy?"

"I JUST TOLD YOU AND YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO A MOTHER F---ING WORD I SAID!!!!!!!!!!!" Chazz screamed. Oh, hell, no. It was one of THOSE days.

"Chazz, please be reasonable," Jesse sighed heavily, "You sound like a girl."

"I ALWAYS SOUND LIKE A--WAIT, WHAT?!!!!!!!"

Jesse rubbed his ear. "I ain't deaf, ya know."

Chazz grunted and stood up. "FINE! If you don't care, then I'll find someone ELSE to listen to me."

"Good riddance," Jesse grumbled beneath his breath.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Chazz screamed.

Jesse scowled. "None of your business. Now, leave!"

"FINE!" Chazz stomped out and slammed the door.

Jesse collapsed on his bed, exhausted. Chazz sure could take the wind out of one's sails. He was too damn high-maintenance. Jesse was used to Jaden, who was laid back. Anything went with Jaden. He didn't care. On the other hand, Chazz threw a hissy fit if his eggs weren't browned properly and placed with utmost care on the RIGHT side, whichever side he determined that to be, and it wasn't usually the side it was on. And the funniest part about this was that Chazz thought he was being CLASSY. What. The. Hell.

After a moment of thinking about this, there was a knock on the door. Suspecting it was Chazz, Jesse glared at the door and threw a pillow at it.

"GO AWAY!!!!"
"Huh?" came the confused slifer's response, "What'd I do? Was it because I ate one of your waffles yesterday when you weren't looking?"

Jesse sighed heavily and trudged over to the door. "No, Jay, I thought you were Chazz."

"Oh." Was it just Jesse, or did Jaden look peeved? "Are you having trouble with him? Well, I guess I should've warned you about his weekly tantrums. Oh, that's right, you didn't tell me! I guess then that's your own fault."

Jesse looked a bit surprised. "Jaden, are you mad I didn't tell you?"

"I'm only your best friend!" Jaden whined, "If you couldn't tell me, then who could you tell…Wait. That didn't sound quite like it did in my head…"

Jesse laughed a little as the clueless brunette scratched his head in contemplation.

"Well," Jaden finally laughed, "I don't know how to say it, so I guess I'll just have to forgive you!"

"Ok!" Jesse laughed too.

The two boys stood in the middle of Jesse's room, laughing over nothing. They were just having a good time. Not to mention that Jesse was relieved to be rid of Chazz.

"Did you see Chazz earlier?" Jaden asked, his chocolate eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Well, depends on what time you're talkin' about."
"Well, this morning, he was all yelling and screaming at everybody he saw outside. Then, he started asking random people random questions, such as 'Where were you last night?' and 'What do you think you're doing?' and 'I know what you did last night.'"

"Uhhh…." Jesse said, looking confused, "Jay, that's not a question."

"Oh, right." Jaden laughed again, "Anyway, he also was acting like he owned the place or something. He was telling people to get off of that patch of grass because it was his. Wonder what's up with him?"

Jesse shrugged. "He's probably just feelin' a little anxious…" He then groaned. He knew far too well about Chazz's anxiety attacks. "You see, he gets a little crazy…"

Jaden just nodded as though he knew exactly what Jesse was talking about; however, his expression was just as clueless as ever. "Oh, I see."

"Well, you should've seen him this morning," Jesse laughed, "Now, I'm not one to be talkin' behind someone's back, but, yeesh, you'd have thought all hell had broken loose. He was all yellin' and complainin' like a mad housewife."

Jaden laughed at this. "It's true! He does act like that."

"He complains worse than a girl, for Pete's sake!" Jesse complained.

Jaden ignored the irony of the situation and nodded in agreement. "Did you see his hissy fit yesterday?"

"How could you NOT see it? I reckon the entire school heard it!"

"The entire island."

"The entire nation of Japan."

"The entire world." Jaden whispered, his eyes growing big.

Jesse just nodded. "It was that bad."

"I saw it," Jaden supplied.

"I know you did. I was with you."

"Right. Sorry, I'm a little bit not here today…"

"A little bit?"

"Well, maybe a little less than a little bit."

"Don't ya mean more?"

"What?"

"Nevermind." Jesse shook his head, then became concerned. The only time Jaden was this clueless was when he was anxious and stressed. How come he had to know everyone's anxious idiosyncrasies?

"Jaden," he finally asked, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"Aww, come on, I know that ain't true. Whenever you act like that and get that look on your face, somethin's wrong."

Jaden blushed. Jesse wasn't sure if it were shame or…something else. He kind of hoped it was shame.

"Uh…Jaden? Are you feelin' all right? Honestly, now."

"Fine, I can't fool you." Jaden smiled sheepishly. Jesse relaxed, having half expected Jaden to spaz out on him. "I'm just upset because…of Chazz."

"Why?"

"Chazz has been acting so…weird. I thought he liked Alexis!"

"Uh, Jaden, that's kinda vague. Could you be more specific?"

Jaden sat down and looked as though he really did not want to part with the information. "I-I…I'll tell you later, k?"

Jesse looked confused. "But, why? Can't ya tell me now? Dontcha trust me?"

"I do trust you, it's just that…" Jaden sighed heavily, "I don't think you can handle it especially when you're dealing with Chazz."
"Especially Chazz with PMS." Jesse joked.

Jaden looked up. "What's that?"

"I'll tell ya when you're older, Jay." Jesse teased, though with a slight hint of seriousness. After all, Jaden had slept through all the sex ed classes, and Jesse wasn't quite sure he could handle the information.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Jesse turned around, then paled. He realized that he had forgotten to close the door. And who else was standing in the doorway but Chazz Princeton.

Jesse cringed, ready for complaints to be reigned down on him. Instead, Chazz just looked sad.

"What--"

"If you really felt that way about me, then why didn't you just tell me to stop instead of making fun of me with Jaden?"

Jesse felt guilty looking into those sad onyx eyes. "Chazz, I wasn't exactly making fun of you. I was just frustrated with the way you were acting. Please don't get too upset. You were annoying me."

"Why couldn't you just tell me that?"

"Because I didn't want to hurt your feelin's. But I guess I already did that….I'm real sorry…"

Chazz scowled, then, much to Jaden and Jesse's surprise, instead of yelling, started crying.

"Oh, yeah, it's PMS." Jesse thought, then wondered if something were happening in the youngest Princeton's life to make him behave so…strangely. Jesse gasped a little. What if Chazz was really a girl and he was pregnant? Quickly, he shook this from his mind.

"What, do you not care about me anymore? Do you hate me?"

Jesse tried not to roll his eyes. "Chazz, please…Jaden, maybe you should leave, this is gonna get ugly…"

"I wouldn't think twice. See ya, Jes!" Jaden didn't hesitate to abandon his friend.

Jesse watched in dismay as Jaden tore down the hallway. Well, he couldn't exactly blame him.

"Chazz, you ain't yourself today. What's the matter?"

Chazz whimpered. "I tried to tell you this morning, but you wouldn't listen to me. Besides, it wasn't coming out right. I kept trying to say it, but then I remembered something else bad that happened, so it never came out."

Jesse pinched the bridge of his nose as he felt a massive migraine coming on. "Ok, so, you're tellin' me you got so caught up in complainin' that you never were able to give your complaint?"

"When you put it that way, it makes me sound really dumb, doesn't it?" Chazz muttered.

"So, what is the problem? I already know that there was something about Jaden and Atticus and some kid that reminded you of a horrible teacher…so what's wrong?"

"Exactly!" Chazz snapped, throwing his arms up in the air, "That's what I've been trying to tell you all along."

"Excuse me, ya lost me there." Jesse looked confused…and dizzy.

"Well, it's actually just Jaden…"

"Spare me."

"No, it's more important than you think!" Chazz protested.

"Look, if it has somethin' to do with you losing another duel, I don't want to hear it."

"It doesn't!" Chazz insisted, looking lost.

Jesse had to take sympathy on him. He looked truly pathetic. Maybe he should cut him some slack.

"Ok," he sighed, "Go on."

He collapsed on the couch. This was going to be awhile.

"Well," Chazz said, sitting down as well, "you do know that Jaden's always overshadowed me, sort of like Zane does with Syrus, only no one ever really notices that twerp, anyway."

Jesse groaned.

"Anyway," Chazz continued, "I was really feeling down because it was getting to me. Jaden I mean. You do know that when he first came here, I was the number one freshman. And my test scores were perfect, if I do say so myself…"

Jesse groaned again. Alas, his sad sympathy story had turned into vain bragging of all his accomplishments.

"…and, well, he was just better. And I hated to admit it, but every time we faced off, it was like I didn't matter anymore. I always took the backseat and Jaden was always the hero. It didn't matter that I helped defend the school from the Shadow Riders. No, all that mattered was that Jaden beat the Professor. Nothing else mattered. The rest of us take down the others, and Jaden gets all the glory for ONE victory?"

"Uh, hate to interrupt your enthralling story, but….what about Kagemaru and the Egyptian guy…."

"Oh, right. Well, they don't count. Anyway, anything he does wrong is ignored whereas any little thing I mess up, I get berated for it for, like, years. People still hate me for the Society, and people still think I'm the bad guy. And they praise who else but Mr. 'I'm so high and mighty but I'm going to pretend to be humble about it.' And I get no respect! None! It sucks! And everyone hates me, now even including you. And the ironic part…that slacker that ruined my life is the only person that likes me."

"Uh, Chazz, you have plenty of friends." Jesse sighed. "And did you ever think about how they felt?"

Chazz scowled. "The Chazz is telling his story now! So, shush!"

Jesse rolled his eyes. Chazz immediately fell back into victim mode.

"I just want someone to love me!" The scary part was, at this point, he looked one hundred percent genuine. "And no one does! Everyone always knocks away my attempts to win them over. It sucks! How would you feel to be unwanted and unloved? You don't have that problem, because JADEN loves you!"

Jesse blushed. "No, he doesn't. We're just best friends, that's all."

"Best friends my face! I saw the loving gaze you sent him. And what about that one night, huh? Think I forgot about it? Why do you never sleep with me?"

Jesse moaned and held his head in his hands. "Chazz, I've only been dating you for two weeks."

"Oh, so you only dated me two weeks and that makes it wrong, but you're not dating Jaden at all and it's Ok to sleep with him? What sense does that make?"

"Chazz, we didn't mean anything by it. We fell asleep. Honest. We only were lying down because our stomachs hurt, and his bunk is the lowest one. I'd have thrown up if I'd climbed the steps."

"So? You cheater!"

"You are so insensitive!"

"You don't understand me!"

"Nobody understands you!"

Chazz scowled. "And that," he said with his nose in the air, "proves my point. I bid you good day."

Jesse rolled his eyes as Chazz rose to his feet. Suddenly, Chazz lost all composure and turned around, flinging himself against Jesse's chest, sobbing madly.

Jesse awkwardly patted him on the back, not sure what to do.
"I'M SORRY, JESSE, I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!!!!" Chazz wept.

"What has gotten into you?" Jesse asked in horror. "You never act like this!"

"I can't explain it," Chazz sniffed, "My day has just sucked."

"That's no reason!"

"You don't understand!" was all Chazz could bawl.

Jesse certainly hoped Chazz would be better by tomorrow. "You know what? Just like my ma said, when a baby starts cryin', it's probably 'cause they need a nap. I think you need a nap. You look like you haven't been sleepin'. And I reckon you haven't with all the times in the middle of the night you call me. You just need some sleep. If you don't, then you'll get sick, not just physically, but in the head, too."

Chazz sniffed again and nodded. "I have insomnia," he moaned, "I haven't slept for weeks."

"Well, then I reckon that's the problem." Jesse concluded, "Now, go get some rest."

A devilish grin broke across his face. Jesse didn't know why, but he wasn't liking the looks of that expression. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Uh, Chazz, what's wrong now?"

"Nothing's wrong," Chazz laughed, "but I refuse to go to bed unless you come with me."
Jesse's heart sank. No wonder. "Um, Chazz…"

"Please?" Chazz gave him the cutest--what he hoped was the cutest--look he could muster. Truth be told, it creeped Jesse out a little.

Seeing that Jesse was not being convinced, he switched to Plan B. He figured that by now, he knew just how to get his way.

"Oh, come on, now, Jesse, don't you want to sleep with your boyfriend?"

Jesse's left eye twitched. "Not particularly."

"You know you do…" Chazz winked at him, and massaged Jesse's shoulders, causing him to blush despite himself.

"Chazz, stop. I don't like this one bit. Go home."

"Aw, come on!" Chazz insisted, then assured him, "I wouldn't try anything. I promise."

Jesse suppressed a gag. "Uh-huh."

"You don't sound like you trust me." Chazz blinked.

"I don't."

"Well, then could you learn to?"

"By…what?"

"Sleep with me."
"It's like going in circles," Jesse thought, "I'll never get him off my back. Might as well let him so he'll stop buggin' me!"

Aloud, he said, "Fine, Chazz, but if you try anything, I'll kill you."
Chazz looked taken aback. "That's quite unlike you."

Jesse stared. "And how have you been acting today?"

"Oooh, burn."

Jesse sighed and rolled his eyes at Chazz's pathetic attempts to be cool. At first, he'd thought they were hot, sexy even. But now, they were just….stupid.

"Come, now, Jesse." Chazz grasped Jesse's arm and dragged his stiff form over to the bed. Jesse's left eye twitched again.

"Well?"

"Well…what?" Jesse's pupils dilated. He was afraid to ask.

Chazz smirked. "Come on, Jes, you understand dontcha?"

"Oh, I understand all right." Jesse said, shrinking back in horror. "And you ain't going there with me, mister!"

Chazz blinked innocently. "Whatever did you think I meant? Maybe you're the one with naughty thoughts!"

"Oh, I don't think so."

"Just come to bed with me."

Much to poor Jesse's dismay, Chazz dragged him to bed. He lay stiffly next to Chazz and tried not to recoil when Chazz cuddled up to him. He even managed to suppress a gag again when Chazz looked up with lovesick eyes, reminiscent of the look he gave Alexis.

"Jesse…" He moaned, just like he had with Alexis.

"Ok, you're freaking me out now!"

Chazz nuzzled his cheek against Jesse's chest. "I love you, Jesse."
"Erm…that's…nice." Jesse said awkwardly, trying not to push Chazz away. He tried to convince himself it was cute. It was not.

Chazz nuzzled his face closer and smiled, kissing his neck. Jesse grimaced as Chazz wrapped his arms tightly around him, planting kisses up and down his neck and finishing with a big liplock. Only on his half, though.

"You're making me uncomfortable." Jesse muttered, his eye twitching.

Chazz only smirked and rolled him over.

"What…are…you…"

"Shhh." Chazz kissed him on the lips and eased down on him.

"Ok, now I'm really uncomfortable."

"Don't worry about it, you'll get over it." Chazz told him, rubbing his chest lovingly, "You'll get used to it."

Jesse felt sick. "Please stop, Chazz. Just go to sleep, Ok?"

"Oh, I gotcha." Chazz winked at him suggestively.

"Chazz, I'm not…erm….easy. Get off!"

"Oh, come on, it'll be fun!"

"What are you talking about now?" Jesse felt as though he knew, though.

"Just relax and let me take charge. I'll be nice and easy and--"

"Shut up!" Jesse's face was bright red with embarrassment. "No! Now go to sleep!"

Chazz looked disappointed as Jesse shoved him off. Jesse knew he should've kicked Chazz out, but Chazz gave him such a mournful look that he couldn't help but let him stay.

"Good night, Chazz." He said firmly.

"Good night, baby," Chazz whispered in Jesse's ear, smirking.

Jesse laughed softly to himself as he turned out the light, thinking it would've been sexy…had Chazz been talking to a girl.


A/N: I know, they got a bit OOC, but that's the point here. And well, they're not working too well, b/c their personalities are clashing. Obviously, they have different ideas of ideals and such. XDDDD I know a lot of it is true, the OOC part would be when Jesse talked behind his back and when Chazz acted like he had PMS. XDDDDD Comic relief, my friend, comic relief. Next chapter will be a tad more serious, though it can't be too much, because Jesse and Chazz make the ultimate disaster couple. XDDD
