6. Jaden Has a Wet Dream
Chazz was beautiful. Like a pure angel from heaven, with the way his milky skin was almost as pale as the white bedsheets pulled up around him, with the way his black hair, so sharply contrasting with that snowy face, fell into his gray eyes--slate-gray with oceans of tender emotions trembling on the very surface.
Jaden reached out an arm to touch Chazz, wearing a smile. Chazz's skin was so soft and warm...so perfect...
Chazz took Jaden's hand in his own, and slowly, almost shyly, leaned nearer, until he was so close to Jaden that if he so much as twitched, their lips would have met.
An overpowering wanting, a desire, flooded Jaden--a wanting more powerful than anything he'd ever felt for anything, even his Duel Monsters cards. He wanted Chazz--he needed Chazz--and if he didn't have Chazz--
He moaned and pushed himself upward, intending to bury Chazz into the kiss of the century, but his lips encountered thin air and he fell, face-forward, over his own lap.
Zane was holding Chazz by the shoulders, smirking with vindictive pleasure; Chazz's arms encircled Zane's neck as he wore a perfect damsel-in-distress-just-got-rescued face.
"Fuck off, Yuki," Zane said. "He's my boyfriend."
My boyfriend...my boyfriend...my boyfriend...
Jaden awoke and shook away the last shreds of sleep that still clung to him. Instinctively, he half-swung a glance over at the bedside next to him, expecting to see Chazz there: it was, of course, empty.
"What a weird dream," Jaden said out loud, pointing out the obvious. It had indeed been a weird dream--unlike any Jaden had ever had before. He would have called it a nightmare--what with the Zane had popped up suddenly--if it had not been for how good it felt, at the beginning, when it was just himself and Chazz, together...
"Huh?" Syrus said sleepily through his bedsheets. Apparently, Jaden's musings had woken him up.
"Syrus...," Jaden said, turning toward his aqua-haired friend, "I had a dream about Chazz."
"Were you dueling him?" Syrus asked.
"No," Jaden said, and, not one to hide the truth, said, "we were...kissing." --'kissing', for lack of a better word, even though they hadn't really kissed before Zane intervened.
Syrus snorted and choked at the same time. "K...kissing!"
"Yeah," Jaden said. He glanced at the ceiling, his brow crinkling with confusion. "It was pretty weird."
"Yeah, really," Syrus said, in a small voice.
"Really weird," Jaden repeated. Then, after a pause, "but it felt nice."
"Nice?" Syrus sputtered. "Jaden..." He stopped, a look of deep concern crossing his bulbous features. "Are you...gay?"
"Huh?" Jaden said, oblivious.
"Never mind," Syrus said, slipping out of his bed. "Well, uh, since I can't go back to sleep, I'm think I'll go for a walk." He began putting on his shoes. Jaden leaped up with a grin.
"I'll come along!" He said. "And why don't we see if we can get Chazz to come along too!"
"Er--" Syrus said, sounding worried, and with good reason, too: Jaden had just dreamed about kissing Chazz--was it really wise to put the two of them anywhere within ten feet of each other?
"C'mon, Sy, let's go!" Jaden shoved Syrus out of the door and hopped out after him, casting a quick glance back into the room. "Before Chumely wakes up!"
"Uh-huh," Syrus said, dragging himself after Jaden.
Jaden dashed over to Chazz's small tent, pitched to the side of the main dorms, seized the flap, and tore it open. He leaned inside and shouted, "Rise and shine, Chazz!"
"GET THE HELL AWAY, JADEN!" Chazz screamed, popping out his earplugs and hurling a pillow at Jaden, all in the same motion. Jaden caught the pillow, and, grinning immaturely, leaped in and began bashing Chazz on the head with it.
"Pillow fight!" He cheered.
Syrus waited outside, unnerved by the loud and raucous noises issuing forth from the tent.
"Damn you, Jaden!" Chazz yelled, lashing out and grabbing Jaden by the wrists. Jaden landed on top of Chazz, so that he was straddling the black-haired boy. There was a pause that lasted barely a second, but within that space, a thousand different emotions exploded within Jaden, giving way to only one: desire.
Chazz's hand was as soft as it was in Jaden's dream...his lips, as eager and virginal as they had been in the dream...
On a whim, Jaden swept downwards, his lips ready to meet Chazz's, but instead, he squashed his face into Chazz's mattress as Chazz lurched out from beneath Jaden and kicked Jaden in the side.
"I was sleeping, ya moron!" He shouted. "Thanks for waking me up!"
Jaden recovered instantly and looked up, beaming--though inside, his stomach was doing twists at the thought of how near he had been to kissing Chazz. "You're welcome, Chazz!" He said.
"Go away!" Chazz glanced around wildly for something to throw at Jaden, but Jaden just smiled.
"Hey, Chazz, wanna go on a walk with me?" Then, quickly, he added, "and Syrus."
"No," Chazz spat.
"C'mon, Chazz, it'll be fun. Maybe a walk will loosen you up, who knows?" Jaden shrugged nonchalantly. Chazz's brow creased into a scowl.
"I don't want to 'loosen up'," Chazz said, each word dripping with venom.
"Aw, Chazz," Jaden said cheerfully, reaching out and grabbing Chazz by the arm. He yanked, playfully but forcefully, dragging Chazz up from the floor.
Chazz wrenched away--more violently than was necessary, thought Jaden--and glared at Jaden. "I told you, I don't want to take a freaking walk with you! I just want to sleep."
He made for the bed, but Jaden tackled Chazz, and they fell over on top of each other onto the sheets. It was the second time Jaden was straddling Chazz that day, and once more he was seized by the urge to kiss Chazz. This time, this time, he would actually do it--
His hand reached out and grabbed Chazz's cheek, and just as he was beginning to lean forward, just as Chazz began to have a glimmering inkling as to what was going on, Syrus barged in.
"Come on, Jaden, let's g..." His voice died in his throat as he saw Jaden on top of Chazz, Jaden's eyes blazing with unrestrained sexual tension. Jaden easily slipped off of Chazz and gave a natural smile.
"All right, Sy," he said, as if nothing had happened. Once more, his heart was pounding wildly, his stomach fluttering--why did being near Chazz have such an effect? "Come on, Chazz, let's take a walk"--and it was possible that his voice came out more strained and fake-sounding than he thought it should.
Chazz regarded Jaden suspiciously for a moment; then his expression cleared and he glared off to the side. "Fine, fine, if that's what it takes for you idiots to leave me alone."
The three of them set off, heading down the beach toward the forest, Jaden prattling about class, Crowler, and duels, Chazz sulking along. Syrus walked slightly behind them, feeling worried. Was he the only one who saw something strange going on with Jaden and Chazz? Was he insane? Or was he the only sane one left?
Misawa and Zane, at the meantime, were hiding out in the forest, where they would not be found. They were, of course, discussing their plans.
"He almost said it, Misawa--he was this close--" Zane held out his fingers, scarcely a sliver apart, and then snapped his fingers with irritation and glanced away. "Only one more syllable--if he'd just said one more syllable--"
"But it's working, right?" Misawa said, concern evident in his features. "I mean, you were right, when you said dating Alexis was going to help. Next time, you've just got to try a little bit harder..."
"It's not going to be that easy," Zane said. He crushed a twig underfoot with his shoe and imagined that the twig was everything getting in the way of his and Chazz's happy relationship. "Next time, he's going to be on guard. He let that slip because he wasn't thinking, but next time, he's going to make sure he's always thinking. You think I don't know him, Misawa?"
Misawa merely shook his head, very slightly--a gesture that meant, "I give up, Zane. You're a hopeless case". And, possibly, if one read further into it--"why am I helping to feed your lolicon?", and "I'm sorry I ever got mixed up in this", and, possibly, "You need to see a shrink. Now."
But of course, Zane didn't see that deep into it, and he merely knew that Misawa was getting exasperated at him.
"But, Zane," Misawa said, glancing up. "Can you tell me why you need to get rid of Jaden Yuki? I really don't get it."
"Him and Chazz are too close," Zane said, his irritated expression returning. "It bugs me."
"What?" Misawa said. He goggled at Zane, incredulous. "That's all? You want me to do horrible things to a guy like Jaden Yuki just because some voice in your paranoid head thinks that just because he's a friendly guy means he's got the hots for your...boytoy?"--for lack of a better word, Misawa decided.
Then Zane did something completely unexpected. He seized Misawa by the collar and slammed him up against the nearest tree, a hand clasping around Misawa's throat and tightening oppressively. Misawa let out a strangled gargling noise.
"Do you want to help me or not, you pansy?" Zane shouted, his iron grip increasing. "You said you would, so quit trying to wimp out. I don't care who it is, as long as I have even the tiniest suspicion that they're messing with my boyfriend--boyfriend, Misawa--then they're gonna get it. Got it?"
He jerked his hand upwards, and Misawa whimpered loudly. He was getting bullied again! And he'd thought he worked out all of his anti-bully equations. Who would have thought Zane could be like this?
Zane, breathing heavily, released Misawa. Misawa fell to the ground, clutching at his throat.
"Sorry, Misawa," Zane said, his perfect composure back. Misawa merely let out a hacking cough.
And then, suddenly, a loud, obnoxious, off-key voice cut through the silence, singing shamelessly, "Finding trouble, never looking too hard"
Another voice snapped, "Shut up already!"
The two voices were recognizable immediately. Jaden and Chazz. Zane whirled around and hissed at Misawa, "It's Jaden and Chazz! They're together!"
Misawa would have said, "So what?", but he was afraid that being snarky would earn him more physical pain. He rose to his feet, brushing leaves off of his pants.
"Uh...," he said lamely, because the expression on Zane's face demanded a response.
A slow smirk spread across Zane's face, and he flicked his gaze toward Misawa. "I've got an idea."
Good for you, whoop-dee-doo, Misawa said in his head, but out loud he said, "What is it?"
"Watch and see."
Zane crouched down and peered through the leaves of the bush he was hiding behind. Misawa hid up behind a tree, watching to see what Zane was up to. Jaden, Chazz, and Syrus quickly became visible, walking along the beaten dirt path as Jaden sang, Chazz raged, and Syrus whined.
Jaden was at least two yards in front of Chazz, hands behind his back as he sang obliviously, barely paying attention to anything. Syrus trailed further behind Chazz, his eyes riveted to the ground. Misawa could see that Zane was practically shaking from delight.
And then, swiftly and surely, in an almost sharklike lunge, Zane's arm shot out from the bushes and grabbed Chazz, dragging him in. Jaden and Syrus didn't even notice.
Zane clamped a hand over Chazz's mouth and then hissed to Misawa, in an urgent whisper, "Go! I don't care what you say--just make sure when you're through, Jaden'll know that he doesn't have a chance with Chazz. Go!"
Misawa didn't need any more pressure--he turned foot and ran out onto the trail instantly, positioning himself several yards in front of Jaden and Syrus.
He stood in the middle of the path, trying to be casual, and waited.
"Misawa! Misawa!" Jaden wailed, his voice distraught. He ran up, panting, over to the Ra Yellow student, who hummed a rather forced-sounding tune while nervously adjusting the cuffs of his uniform.
"Oh, hello, Jaden," Misawa said. Act calm! Act calm! Act calm!
"Misawa, Chazz is gone! We can't find him anywhere!" Jaden said. "You gotta help us find him!"
Zane's got him, you poor bastard, Misawa thought, but he said, "What do you mean? Isn't Chazz back in his tent?"
"No, no," Syrus said. "We were going on a walk with him and now we can't find him!"
"You lost him?" Misawa said, trying to sound amused. It wasn't hard, really--it was hard not to laugh when you knew something that someone else didn't.
"Yeah!" Jaden said, gazing helplessly at Misawa with large puppy-dog eyes. "Please! We gotta find him!"
"Hmm...," Misawa said, and, remembering what Zane had told him about crushing Jaden's heart, plowed on ruthlessly, "well, why do you care so much about Chazz?"
"Huh?" The question seemed to throw Jaden off track. "Well, uh..." Jaden broke off, a perplexed expression crossing his face.
"I'm sure Chazz ran off on purpose," Misawa continued. He turned away, so they wouldn't have to see his strained expression, and tried to keep his voice steady and serious. He had never been good at lying. "I mean, he doesn't like you guys very much, does he?"
"That's not true!" Jaden cried, with sudden indignation. "Chazz is our friend!"
"I dunno, Jaden..." Syrus said, his voice very small. "Misawa's probably right--I mean, Chazz isn't exactly the nicest..."
Great! Jaden's friend is helping! Misawa thought. "Yeah," he said, "the Chazz I knew would never care about Slifer scum. He has this horrible superiority complex, you know? He'd consider you people way beneath him. It probably humiliated him every day, having to wake up under the roof of the Slifer Red building."
"He didn't sleep in the building," Syrus nitpicked. "He had a tent."
Jaden looked upset. "You're wrong, Misawa! That's not Chazz! Chazz has changed!"
"How do you know that for sure?" Misawa said. "Old habits die hard, and Chazz has always been really stubborn..."
"What are you trying to say?" Jaden's hands balled into fists, and he glared at Misawa.
"Oh, nothing," Misawa said airily, feeling that this lying had suddenly become a great deal easier. "Just that he slipped away when you weren't looking so that he wouldn't have to be near you. He's probably already in the exam hall, trying to test back into Obelisk Blue. He really hates you, you know."
"Misawa--" Jaden began angrily, but Misawa cut him off, the torrent of cruel words coming more naturally now, flowing.
"Jaden, Chazz would never love you."
"L-love!" Stammered Syrus, glancing to and fro from Misawa and Jaden. Jaden's eyes widened, and he tensed visibly, but remained silent.
"You see," Misawa continued, "Chazz doesn't like bad duelists in the Slifer Red dorms. He only likes--" Then Misawa dropped his bomb. "--good duelists in Obelisk Blue. Really good duelists. Like Zane."
"Kyaah!" Syrus shrieked, and then helpfully supplied, "You mean, Zane meant it when he said he and Chazz were boyfriends? Is Zane really Chazz's boyfriend?"
"Yeah, that's right," Misawa said. Thank God for Syrus's helpful comments! "I think once he tests back into Obelisk Blue, he's going to move in with Zane. He loves Zane--a lot."
Now the lying was starting to make Misawa slightly nauseous--ha! Chazz love Zane alot?--but it seemed he didn't have to go any further. Jaden had been silent for the past few minutes as Misawa droned out his lies. Now, he seemed to be trembling, and he had turned the other direction.
Then, hesistantly, he said, "I...I had a dream...last night...that Chazz...was...he was...kissing...me..."
Syrus let out a small gasp, and Misawa would have, too, if he hadn't remembered that he was supposed to be playing a part here. So Jaden did like Chazz--he really did--
"Sorry, Jaden," Misawa said. "Chazz would never kiss you. He hates you."
The reaction to this was a long silence--an impatient silence for Misawa, as he stood, stomach squirming, hoping that that had been his last piece, his final move, his checkmate, so that he wouldn't have to play any more of this sick game.
And then Jaden looked up. To Misawa's shock, Jaden's eyes were bright and wet, and a thin stream of this wetness ran from one of his eyes down to his chin. Misawa tried to say something--he even wanted to apologize, damn it--but no words would come out.
Then, slowly, Jaden turned around and trudged back, Syrus following behind, making the appropriate concerned gestures, which Jaden just brushed off, sadly.
Misawa's mind was numb. He had taken it too far--way too far. It was his fault--no--Zane's fault, Zane's fault for wanting Chazz so bad that he'd push Misawa to make Jaden Yuki cry. Jaden Yuki--of all people. Zane's fault.
Misawa turned around. This game wasn't fun anymore. Then he retched.
Author's Notes: Ah, blessed is the chapter that ends with someone throwing up.
Anyhows, I told you that the chapters with Misawa in them were the longest. What is it with that nerd and his penchant for lengthening chapters? Oh, and this chapter was originally going to have a make-out scene, but due to length that will have to be moved to the next chapter. Ha ha, suckers.
You know, I just noticed that this author's note down here says "Author's Notes" and the one up there says "Author Notes". Ah well. :keeps it the same:
I conclude this rather long author's note with a request for reviews. :D
PS: This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but Underworld was on last night on TV. LOL GREATEST MOVIE EVER. Almost as lame as Constantine (but nothing is as lame as that). Damn, I just love my cheesy super-serious supernatural overbudgeted movies.
