Chapter 28

Normality Restored

The brunette's vision went white and moans of complete pleasure filled the room as the peak of desire they had been working towards was achieved. Jaden smiled as he heard Jesse's pleasured gasp as he also reached his end. Shuddering from the aftershocks, Jaden closed his eyes as he felt his lover slip out of him and roll off him to lie at his side.

Jaden laid his head on Jesse's bare shoulder, his breathing still erratic from their hours of lovemaking.

Jesse kissed the brunette's lips deeply, savouring the taste of his lover.

This was the first time in months that they had made love together.

Jaden's health was back to normal and the baby was peacefully asleep in his room. They had been watching a movie, nothing out of the ordinary, and had just caught each other's glance at the appropriate time, and realised that they didn't have to wait any longer.

Of course, they had used protection, which was relatively new to them, since they rarely had before Jaden had turned up pregnant. Now, though, it was an essential precaution for them to take every time.

"That was amazing, Jesse" the brunette whispered.

After so long, Jaden had almost forgotten what it felt like. It was better than he'd remembered. He had forgotten the pleasure Jesse could give him, and what it felt like to lie together afterwards, in total peace with one another.

Jesse nodded slightly and said in a whisper that he loved him.

Jaden looked up at his lover's so-beautiful green eyes.

"I love you, too" he whispered, and the two shared a sweet kiss.

After they had parted, Jaden looked in slight worriment at Jesse.

"Everything changes now, doesn't it?" the brunette said softly. "Jess, do you think we'll be able to get into a … y'know, normal lifestyle?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, as parents."

"Oh."

Jesse didn't really know how to answer. Now that Jaden was healthy again, they'd have to settle into some sort of routine. They had responsibilities now, ones that they had never imagined they would ever have to deal with.

They had to settle into the normal routine of looking after their baby and dealing with the end of school - which was very soon. Most of their friends were already making, or had made, plans to continue their studies elsewhere or go on to careers. Alexis, for example, was leaving Duel Academy to study to become a teacher.

Jesse knew that, for them, it wouldn't be so easy.

Not only did they have a child together, there was also the matter that Jaden had other duties he couldn't ignore.

Jaden was the Supreme King. Therefore, he had duties that only he could deal with - well, him and Yubel together, really. Either way, Jesse couldn't help him there.

"We'll get by, Jay. I can look after Percy if you and Yubel are ever … needed elsewhere" Jesse said.

"I'm not sure I want to go travelling just yet, Jesse."

Travelling had been the brunette's plan for after school, but now he wasn't sure he wanted to go on those travels, at least not immediately. But he and Yubel still wanted to put their powers to good use.

Maybe, though, they could do that without leaving Duel Academy. Maybe they could help the new students coming to the school in the next year, and the students already there. Every duellist should have a bond with their cards and monsters, and a level of trust and care. Jaden could help them. And if he was needed elsewhere, he would travel temporarily to where he was needed.

Jaden didn't want to think about it just yet. For now, he just wanted to lie against Jesse and let his breathing settle.

He could feel the presence of Yubel in the room, and he wondered if it bothered his lover at all. Well, if it did, Jesse kept quiet about it.

Yubel was running her clawed fingers through Jaden's two-toned hair, silent but there. Of course, she was always there with Jaden.

Jesse had come to accept that. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms tightly around the slightly smaller boy.

Jaden pressed his head into the bluenette's chest, cuddling with his lover while at the same time talking with Yubel in his mind.

"Night, Jess" the brunette yawned.

"Goodnight, love" Jesse whispered back.

And the two fell asleep with their arms around each other, with the spirit of the Yubel to watch over them protectively.

After all, even if she wasn't fond of Jesse at all, she would do anything and everything to keep Jaden happy. She knew that she didn't have to compete with him for Jaden's love. She didn't have to. She knew that Jaden loved her, and always would.

She just wanted him to be happy.

And Jesse made him happy.
