Bastion was in his and Jaden's room looking after his husband. (A/N: Is he still his husband? I mean... they are legally separated, aren't they?)

"Are you feeling alright, my love?" Bastion asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm glad you showed when you did. If you hadn't, I'd be a goner... again." Jaden said.

"You should really be more careful, Jaden." Bastion said.

"Hey! You were the one who left me alone so you could talk with Tania!" Jaden yelled.

"Okay, okay. So, I should of watched you better. And I'm sorry." Bastion said. "Now... I've gotta go check on Tania and see how she is." He said, but Jaden grabbed his hand.

"Bastion!" Jaden whined.

"Don't tell me you're still jealous, Jaden."

"So, what if I am?" Jaden asked.

"Jaden, how many times do I have to tell you that there's no reason to be jealous of her... or anyone for that matter? I'm in love with you. I always have been and always will be."

"How can you say you always have been when you fell for her when we were younger?"

"That was just a fluke, alright? Now look... I have to check on her. I'll be back." Bastion said, and Jaden turned his back towards him. "Fine! If that's the way you want this, Jaden, then go ahead and be a jealous little brat!" He said before leaving the room, more like stomping out of the room.

-- In Tania's room --

She was laying on the bed with Tina, Victoria, Dark Magician, Zach, and Will around her. She had started to cough up blood and they were all worried that she may not make it.

Bastion came into the room, still angry and everyone could sense it.

"Hey... you okay, Bro?" Victoria asked.

"Stupid, jealous, little-"

"Bastion!" Victoria yelled.

"What?!"

"What is wrong with you?!"

"Jaden's jealous, and he's mad at me because of it."

"Jealous? What could he be jealous of?" Tina asked.

"Probably me." Tania said. "Though I don't see why." She said before coughing up more blood.

"Are you alright?" Bastion asked.

"I'm probably not gonna make it." She said.

"Don't say that! We can't give up! There must be a way to save you!" Bastion yelled.

'That's probably why Jaden's jealous.' Tania thought. 'Because Bastion's always concerned about me, and seeing him act like this about me... makes me kinda happy. ...What the hell am I saying? He's in love with Jaden. I know that. So, why am I still so madly in love with him?' She thought.

"Why can't you do something?" Bastion asked as he pointed to Dark Magician.

"I work with curses and spells, not poisons."

"This isn't fair. Why do we have to lose her?" Bastion asked.

"Maybe you won't have to." Will said.

"What?"

"I just remembered... I have some herbs up in my room that came from Egypt. They can cure someone who's been poisoned. They can last for decades, that's how I still have them." Will said. "I'm sorry I didn't think of them before though."

"Don't be. You remembered them now. So, can you go get them?"

"Right away." Will said, and went upstairs to his room, and came down with a box full of herbs a couple minutes later. "All we have to do is stir these in with a little water and have her drink it. That should do the trick."

So, Victoria went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. When she came back, Bastion dropped the leaves in the water, and as soon as he did, they disappeared. Everyone looked at Will.

"You see... when things grow in Egypt they don't need a lot of water. And this piticular herb desolves in water, because it's just that sensitive." He said.

"Wow! You know everything." Zach said, and Will blushed.

"Not everything. My family just used to run a small hospital is all so I remember some things." He said, and Bastion went over to the bed and gave her the water.

"Do you think you could drink this?"

"Maybe if it was transferred mouth-to-mouth." Tania said, and Bastion blushed.

"Well... uh... would I be able to do that?"

"I don't see why not." Will said. "Even if you swallowed it, it wouldn't do anything to you." He explained, and Bastion was about to take some when Will said something else. "Wait! Before you do that. You may wanna know that it doesn't exactly taste like candy. Actually... it's a horrible taste, but it works." He pointed out.

"Thanks." Bastion said, then took some, and made a face when he tasted it. 'Wow! This stuff really is horrible!' He thought. 'But I've gotta help Tania.' He thought, then leaned down to "kiss" her, to help her take the medicine. Zach and Tina had to close their eyes because seeing your parents kiss someone isn't exactly the best thing in the world. (Trust me!)

Sadly, at that exact moment, Jaden had walked in the room, and saw Bastion "kissing" Tania and he froze.

"Jaden!" Victoria said when she saw him standing there, and Bastion immediately broke away to look at the doorway where he was standing.

"Jaden?" Bastion asked when he saw Jaden's shocked, and at the same time, sad face. "Jaden, this isn't what it looks like."

"Then tell me that I didn't just see you liplocking with... her!"

"I can't. That would be lying, but-"

"How could you, Bastion! I know that you're mad at me, but you didn't have to go that far!" Jaden yelled before running out of the room, crying.

"Jaden, wait!" Bastion yelled before running after him.

"You could of drinken that stuff on your own, couldn't you?" Victoria asked.

"...Yes." Tania answered as she sat up. "I know I shouldn't of, but... something told me to do it. Like... something was telling me to go for it because I knew that it was the only way I would get something like that from him. I didn't mean to cause him more pain. I just... wanted to be close to him." Tania said as she buried her face in her hands, feeling ashamed.

"I understand." Victoria said.

"Me too." Tina said.

"Me three." Zach said.

"Us too." Dark Magician and Will said at the same time.

"You do?" She asked.

"Yes." Victoria answered.'Now if only Jaden would.' She thought.

-- With Bastion and Jaden --

"Jaden, wait! Come back!" Bastion yelled as he continued to run after the crying brunette.

"Leave me alone!" Jaden yelled, but as he was running up the stairs, he tripped, and Bastion got to him before he could get back up.

"Jaden, listen to me." Bastion said as he turned Jaden over on his back, and pinned him against the stairs. "It wasn't a kiss. I was just helping her take some medicine that would make her feel better."

"Give me one good reason why I should believe that!"

"One, why would I do it in front of everyone? Two, I'm not a cheater! And three, I love you more than life itself! There! I gave you three! And there's plenty more where that came from!" Bastion said.

"But why? Why did you have to kiss her?"

"One, it wasn't a kiss, and two, she couldn't drink the stuff on her own so someone had to help her, and since I was closest to her at the time, I just decided to do it." Bastion explained. "I didn't mean to hurt anybody, Jaden, especially not you, I was actually trying to save someone." He said.

"Bastion?"

"Yes?"

"...I love you." Jaden said, and Bastion was shocked, but happy.

"I love you too, Jaden." Bastion said before leaning down, and kissing him gently on the forehead. "And I always will," He said, and pressed a kiss to Jaden's cheek. "Forever." He whispered before pressing a sweet kiss to Jaden's lips, saying things too gentle and delicate for words to express.
