Behind Steven Hyde's Blue Eyes
By: Tokoyami
Author's Note: Well I did not get any feedback on pairings, just requests to update soon. So I will go ahead and write the next chapter and do what I want with the pairings. Thank you all so much for the reviews. The title of this chapter is based of a song by The Beatles called 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.' I just changed Lucy to Jackie.

Chapter ThreeJackie in the Sky With Diamonds
After Hyde finally found enough strength to get his butt off the couch he decided to head upstairs to eat breakfast. He first disposed his beer can so Red wouldn't blow a fuse and give himself another heart attack. When I came to the kitchen Kitty was cooking, as usual, and Eric and Donna were sited at the table.
"Oh…my…"Eric gasped his eyes getting wider, "Is that Steven Hyde? It is a new record, he's actually eating breakfast before noon." Eric stood up and began clapping.
"Sit down dumbass." Red has entered the kitchen. Eric immediately sat down. I took a seat at the table. Kitty placed a plate of pancakes and bacon in front of me.
"It is so wonderful of you to join us Steven," Kitty said before taking her own place at the table.
"Thanks for the breakfast Mrs. Forman," Hyde said before digging into the meal in front of him.
"Eric why don't you go do something before I have to stick my foot up your ass?" Red questioned while reading the paper.
"Oh I don't know. I just wanted to ask Hyde a question," Eric answered. He turned to Hyde," So how is that delicious bacon?" He put an emphasis on the 'con' of bacon. (A/N: like in that one episode where he kept teasing Red) Red just glared at him.
Hyde finished his breakfast and got up to leave. "Thanks again Mrs. Forman," he said before going back downstairs.
"And into his dark cold lair he goes to plot more revolts against the government," Eric commented before getting kicked out of thekitchen by Red.

Steven went back into the basement. He went over to the record player. He looked down to see what record was on the player: The Beatles. It was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles weren't his favorite, but he respected them and their music. So Hyde turned the record on. He randomly chose a groove to listen to. He then headed to his room. The first notes of 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds' began to play.
He thought this song was peculiar with its lyrics about marmalade skies and tangerine trees. He continued to listen…
Somebody calls you, you answer quit slowlyA girl wit kaleidoscope eyes..
Hmm... a girl with kaleidoscope eyes Hyde thought to himself. It makes it sound like the girl has sparkling eyes. Immediately one image popped in his head. A girl, who was on shorter side, looking up at him smiling, her eyes twinkling…
"Why would I be thinking of…Jackie," Hyde said himself, "She's the devil…she would not have kaleidoscope eyes. Hyde sat down frustrated and put his face in his hands. Again that image appeared. "Damn it," Hyde said to himself and stood up. Why would he be thinking of her? She was a preppy, cheerleader who latched herself onto Kelso.
Hyde got up and decided he needed some fresh air. The fumes from the basement were really starting to take a toll on him if they made him think of Jackie. Just as Hyde's hand was about to reach for the doorknob, the door opened. Into to his chest, walked Jackie. It took both them a bit to recover from the shock. Surprisingly, Jackie recovered first.
"Oh, I am so sorry for running into you Steven," Jackie apologized looking up at him.
"Kaleidoscope eyes…"Hyde muttered to himself while still staring at her. He did not realize Jackie was looking a bit uncomfortable trapped between him and the now closed door.
"Huh?" Jackie titled her head curiously.
Hyde blinked twice and shook his head. "Oh sorry Jackie...I was just mumbling lyrics from a song I had just listened to. It is still stuck in my head." Hyde then realized that Jackie was still compressed between him and the door and he also took note of the feeling of the breasts he had been admiring earlier today pressed against his toned chest. What the hell? Hyde thought to himself. He quickly stepped back and walked to his chair.
Jackie stood there at a loss of words. She then decided to walk over and sit on the couch. She looked and Hyde and then back at the television, which had been turned on again.
"Hyde," Jackie began, "I went to The Hub. Kelso wasn't there. Are you sure he said he was going there?" Hyde looked over at her. He was about to lie again, but then he looked into those eyes. They held trust and…sadness?
"No…he didn't go to The Hub," Hyde betrayed himself. He gave into those eyes. He went against the ways of Zen. Emotions weren't supposed to get in the way.
"Well, where is he?" Jackie asked.
"Jackie, you need to stop being a possessive girlfriend," Hyde began, "Kelso is his own person. He doesn't need to help him with everything."
Jackie eyes looked down. She sighed. She then looked sadly at Hyde. "You're right Steven. Sorry to bother you. I just wanted to…to…" Jackie then got up and turned to leave.
"Jackie wait…" Hyde betrayed himself once again and stood up, "I am not exactly sure where he is but I guess I could help you find him. I have nothing else to do anyway."
"Oh thank you Steven," Jackie replied. She then went over to him and hugged him. Hyde's eyebrows shot up. He was not just surprised because he hugged him. He was more surprised that he was not disgusted. However, he was mostly shocked that she could trust so easily.
So the two headed out the door and into Hyde's El Camino. He did not want to be in a bug. So Jackie entered on the passenger side and buckled up. Hyde started the ignition and pulled out of the driveway. He glanced over at Jackie and noticed she was staring out the window at the sky.
