Save Me Chapter 3- Flexibility

Syrus awoke the next morning with a nurse at his side tending to the IV.

"Oh, good morning Mr.Truesdale." She said. "Good morning. What time is it?" Syrus asked, rubbing his eyes sleepily. "6:35, after I remove your IV you're free to go!" The nurse smiled.

Jaden Yuki snored loudly, enjoying a peaceful night. Although, he had stayed up late, even after he had checked on Syrus. Remembering how Syrus didn't want him to worry, he decided it to be best if he just fell asleep. The door creaked open, signaling the entrance of someone who stepped in the dorm room with quiet footsteps. Syrus crept in, closing the door silently behind.

Jaden sighed in his sleep, startling the bluenette. Syrus went over to the sleeping boy; reaching out a hand to stroke the others cheek when…

Jaden struck out in a reflex trying to hit whom ever had touched him. Syrus, from many days of practice leant back in a bridge, avoiding the hand with extreme flexibility. "Huh? Who's there?" Jaden asked, sitting up quickly in his bed only to be rewarded with hitting his head on the bunk above.

"Hey Jaden, sleep well? "Syrus asked as he lifted himself from his position. Jaden blinked at Sy's ability to bend himself so far over (A.N-no sick thoughts now…heh heh heh…). "I never knew you could do that…" Jaden said, smiling at Syrus.

"With me waking you up all the time I've learned how to avoid being hit." Syrus said proudly, looking down at his own thin figure.

"Well it looks like you're feeling better." Jaden said happily, standing up from his bunk and stretching. Chumley gave a loud snore, startling the other two boys.

"Yeah," Syrus blushed. "Maybe we should wake him up. Class is going to start soon." Jaden looked at the time. 8:15.

"AH! We're going to be late!" Jaden cried, waking Chumley.

Syrus smiled as he watched Jaden run around frantically searching for his needed things.

"Where is my deck?" He cried, looking under his bed sheets and in drawers.

"Here Jaden." Syrus said, picking up a pair of pants to discover a deck in its pocket. "Thank-you Sy!" Jaden said, coming over to the boy, who held out his hand with the deck laid in his palm.

Taking it gently, Jaden leaned over and gave Syrus a kiss on the cheek.

Chumley was heading out the door as Jaden moved away from Syrus, and the two ran out the door after their friend.

"……and then as another effect, this card inflicts 700 points of Direct Damage to your opponent's Life Points." Alexis continued with her never-ending definitions of cards while Dr. Crowler smiled gleefully.

"Very good Alexis!" Dr. Crowler exclaimed as the girl sat down. "Now then would some one please explain the effects of…?" Dr. Crowler stopped, looking at two boys a few rows from the front.

Syrus and Jaden had once again fallen asleep in class.

Jaden's head was lying on his arms while Syrus had his head rested against Jaden's shoulder. No one knew, but underneath the desk, their hands were linked.

Dr. Crowler cleared his throat, waking the two boys in an instant. "Huh?" Syrus said, lifting his head up to see what had caused the wake-up call. Jaden turned his head but did not wake up. Syrus elbowed him hard in the ribs, and Jaden immediately woke up. Standing quickly he said, "Yes Dr. Crowler?" Every one laughed, some falling off their chairs. Chazz looked smug, smiling only slightly to show that he thought of Jaden only as an imbecile. Syrus sighed and layed his head back on the desk.

"Since you've been paying so much attention to this lesson, would you please tell the class the effects of Dark Catapulter?" Dr. Crowler said happily, glad that he could make Jaden look like a fool. Jaden thought for a moment, before taking a deep breath and saying, "During your Standby Phase, if this card is in Defense Mode, put 1 counter on it. Remove from play a number of cards in your Graveyard equal to the number of counters on this card to destroy the same number of Magic or Trap Cards on the field. Then remove all counters from Dark Catapulter." Jaden sighed after he was finished and sat down, looking very happy. Dr. Crowler snapped a pencil he was holding, and looked as mad as ever. The Slifer's in the class clapped happily; while the Ra's look slightly disappointed but impressed, and the Obelisk's looking very mad, save Alexis and Zane. Chazz was ready to yell out insults to the Slifer, but decided not to and hurt him later. Bastion looked happily at Syrus, who stared up at Jaden like he was an idol.

The rest of class went along fine, except that Syrus was once again embarrassed by not knowing a card. After classes, Syrus and Jaden went out for a walk over to the island's borders, climbing along the rocks and running over the sand that covered the area. "So Syrus, you're not going to ever do that again, promise?" Jaden asked sadly, as he sat down on a rock. The sun was sliding down the sky as the stars came out and the world became darker. "Never…not if it worries you…" Syrus said, coming over to sit beside Jaden, placing his hand around Jaden's waist. Jaden turned towards Syrus, looking into the great pools of gray, half closed. "Good…" Jaden closed his eyes completely, tilting his head to lean in and kiss Syrus gently at first, until Syrus pushed his lips harder onto Jaden's. They both leaned back slightly onto the rock, enjoying the last rays of sunlight. The water sprayed swiftly over the two figures, which were now silhouettes on the horizon (I'm so poetic…). Jaden wrapped his arm around Syrus protectively, reaching down slightly over the other's body.

A twig snapped and both stood at once, looking around to see where the motion had come from. By the rock's edge stood 3 forms: Chazz and his two friends. Jaden stood in front of Syrus, knowing that Chazz wasn't here for a late night walk.

"You think you're so smart, don't you Slifer Slacker." Chazz said smugly, walking over. "Leave us alone Chazz, unless you want me to humiliate you in another duel." Jaden said bravely, but was not smiling like usual. Syrus looked up at Jaden, knowing that he would protect him. "Oh I'm not here to duel, no…I'm here to do something far worse…"

I love cliffhangers, don't you? I'm so good at them and I make people mad, but I hope my stories can make up for that by being updated… please don't hurt me…

Review so I know my story is going alone well!
