Here we go with the next Chapter, and this one involves an adorable scene with Syrus and some side pairings.

Chapter 4: Telling the Others (part 2)

Jaden sighed as he walked to the Slifer dorms, wanting this be over as soon as possible. He was going to tell Alexis, Chazz, Aster and Hassleberry about him and Zane being a couple, and to be honest seemed like it was going to be a lot harder now that Zane wasn't by his side, as he was most likely still chasing Atticus. However, he knew he had to be strong.

"Hey Jaden!"

Jay looked up to see Alexis and Aster running up towards him, looking slightly worried. This caused Jaden to narrow his eyes in concern, what were they so worried about?

"Hey there guys, what's up?" the Slifer Red student asked with a polite wave.

"Jaden, where have you been the past few days?" Alexis asked him, concern written all over her face. "We looked for you everywhere!"

Jaden chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head. "Hehe, sorry about that guys," he apologized. "But I was...busy."

"Busy with what Slacker?" Chazz demanded, walking up beside the two Obelisk Blue students. "Speaking of missing people, where's Zane? Haven't seen him since he got out of the infirmary."

"Chazz is right Sarge," Hassleberry added as he also walked up to Jaden. "Where have the two of you been?"

Jay let out a small chuckle. "Well, for the first and I guess third question: Me and Zane have been in the Obelisk Blue Dorms, though right now Zane is probably still chasing Atticus to who-knows-where." he paused and at Aster with a small grin. "And as for what we were doing, let's just say who now owe Jesse and Sy ten busks Aster."

At first there was nothing but silence, then the gang burst into laughter at Aster's shocked face. Jaden just looked on confused, though he had an idea what they were going to say. Were his feelings for Zane that obvious?

"Sam hill! It's about time you two hooked up Sarge!" Hassleberry exclaimed, confirming Jaden's suspicions. "We ALL knew you two liked each other!"

Jaden blushed furiously. "Alright, I get it!" he then looked around him. "Seriously, everyone is okay with this?"

Alexis blushed and carefully scooted closer to Aster. "Of course Jay! No one here is homophobic!" she insisted a little too quickly. The others nodded in confirmation, causing an invisible weight to be lifted off of Jaden's shoulders.

Chazz shifted nervously. "Yeah yeah, this is all nice and all," he said in a rush. "But do you have any idea where Zane chased Atticus to?"

Jaden raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Um, my best guess would be the beach, but why-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence, as Chazz had already taken off in the direction of the beach at top speed, leaving the others in the dust. Jaden looked at the rest of the others dumbfounded, but Alexis quickly took control of the situation.

"That's another reason why we're not homophobic," she explained, trying her hardest not to giggle. "We're pretty sure Chazz has developed feelings for my brother, but is in denial about and can't tell him."

Jaden's eyes widened in shock, then chuckled lightly. "Well, I can safely say that I didn't that one coming." he laughed, then turned around and began to head back to the Obelisk Blue dorms. "Well, I should probably see if Zane came back to the room after killing Atticus, I'll see you in class tomorrow guys!"

"Later Sarge!" Hassleberry called as Jaden ran off, while Alexis and Aster simply waved.

Hassleberry then walked back to the Slifer Dorm with a smile, but Aster and Alexis remained where they were. Once both boys were out of sight, they sighed and turned to each other.

"You think we should tell them yet?" Alexis asked, sounding slightly concerned. "I mean, they have a right to know now."

Aster simply shrugged and wrapped an arm around Alexis. "I don't think so," he reasoned, kissing his girlfriend on the forehead. "Let them settle into their relationships, then we can tell them about ours."

Alexis looked unsure at first, but nodded in agreement silently anyway, knowing it was better not to argue with him.

Zane walked into his old room in the Obelisk Blue Dorms, completely exhausted. He had chased Atticus until he had given up on the chase when they had reached the beach, then he simply turned and headed back to the Dorm.

"Did you finish killing Atticus Zane?"

Zane whipped around to see who had talked, though he smiled when he saw Syrus sitting on the bed with a smile on his face.

He chuckled. "No Sy, Atticus is still alive." he explained, going to hang up his jacket. "I decided to let him live with the picture."

Sy laughed. "Well that's good," he responded. "We wouldn't want Jay dating a sadistic psychopath," he paused, then added with a grin. "Well at least the person he's dating isn't one anymore."

Zane froze and glared lightly at his little brother. "Ha ha Sy, very funny," he said. "But it is true, and I'm glad I can finally be with Jaden now."

Syrus chuckled as his grin grew wider. "Yeah, and I'm pretty glad I could have two brothers in the future." he replied.

Zane went beat-red and glared at Sy in embarrassment. "SYRUS! Don't you think it's a little early to say stuff like that?" he asked.

Syrus burst out into laughter. "I know it is!" he exclaimed between laughs. "But see your reaction was priceless!"

Zane narrowed his eyes, then reached for a stray pillow. "You know Sy, sometimes karma will get you back for the things you do." He told Sy, sounding strangely calm.

Sy stopped laughing and looked up at his older brother. "Zane, what are you-" he was cut off by a pillow whacking him in the face.

"Like that, for instance."

When the pillow fell, Syrus narrowed his eyes, accepting the challenge. "You do realize this means war right?" he asked as he threw the pillow back at Zane, where it whacked him in the face.

Zane picked up the pillow and smiled. "You bet. Bring it on!" he replied.

With that, the "war" began.

Yup, there is Rareshipping (AsterXAlexis) and Stormshipping (AtticusXChazz) in the story because I wanted to and for a friend. Sorry if anyone was OOC, but Chazz and Hassleberry are surprisingly hard to write. Anyway, hope you enjoyed and I will see you in Chapter 5!
