I'm wishing everyone who celebrates a great Easter!
Thank you to Boris Yeltsin, AllAboutThatPotter and alicheriee for the reviews on my last chapter!
Please enjoy the new one! :)


It happens that Beck finds Jade talking to someone at her locker. Their friends always act as if it's a big deal though Jade has to do projects with classmates like all of them. Though yes, otherwise, Jade doesn't like to talk to too many people. People annoy her. Beck feels blessed that he's one of the very few people who rarely annoys Jade.

Today, he finds her with Eileen who is a grade below them. Beck himself only knows her name because he talked to her boyfriend Zeke about her today. He's in their year and Beck shares a few classes with him.

"Hi," he says as he stops next to them and places a kiss on Jade's cheek.

"Hey," she answers.

Eileen smiles at him. "Hi." Then she turns back to Jade. "Well, thank you!"

She puts her hand on Jade's arm in form of thanks which you shouldn't do with Jade. She doesn't like casually being touched like that – except by Beck or Cat or in rare cases their other friends.

That's also why Jade glares at the hand.

She isn't even shaking it off but Eileen notices it immediately and draws her hand back as if it got burned. "Iek. Sorry. Bye."

And with that she's gone.

Beck turns to Jade: "What was that all about?"

Not her sudden disappearance. He gets that. But her... thanking Jade. What did Jade do for her? And why?

Jade shrugs lazily. "She has some problem with Zeke and asked me for advice."

"She did?"

"You sound surprised," Jade notices and with raised eyebrows. As if she's asking him if he thinks she wasn't able to give good advice.

Which is not it. "I just... didn't think anyone would dare to ask you for help."

Jade dryly says: "Nice save."

"I also didn't think you would help anyone," he continues honestly.

Jade shrugs once more. "Some girls aks me from time to time. They guess, as we are already a couple for such a long time, I must know something about relationships. I give them advice."

"Helpful advice?" Beck checks because it would be just like Jade to give them the worst advice possible.

Jade smirks, which shows that she would very much be into giving them unhelpful advice. Still, she says: "Yes, actually. I figure, as long as they stay with their stupid boyfriends – or girlfriend in case of that Tina girl –, they won't get the idea to get with you."

Well, that's a way to look at it. A very Jade way, to be honest.

He knows there isn't actually another reason for it. Jade just guesses that they will stay out of her way this way. As if every single girl would fawn on Beck (or no girl who was in a serious relationship ever flirted with him).

Anyway... He informs Jade: "Zeke actually asked me for advice during first break."

"Really?" Jade makes.

"Yep," Beck says. "Looks like we are the dream couple around here. I also get asked for advice from time to time."

Jade snorts, before she asks: "So what did you tell him?"

They both are sure that the couple must've come to them about the same problem. It's a dumb one. Like, an extremely dumb one, and that's Beck's opinion though he definitely fought with Jade about dumber things, depending on each their moods.

But apparently, Eileen has a favorite restaurant and Zeke came up with a lot of reasons why he wasn't able to go there since they have gotten together a month ago.

She realized there was something up and finally Zeke told her that he almost choked on some food there and that's why he doesn't want to go. Which she deems ridiculous. She tried to encourage him to go anyway and for some reason they ended up fighting a whole lot about it for three days now.

"He didn't actually tell her the truth about why he doesn't want to go to that restaurant," Beck knows to report.

"What's the real reason?" Jade checks and the way she asks, it sounds like she knew already that Zeke choking on something couldn't be the real reason.

Beck tells her: "His ex girlfriend's parents own that and she's there all the time and it ended pretty ugly between them, as far as he told me. He doesn't want them to meet."

"Ugh, boring," Jade sighs. She wanted the reason to be a bad one, like Zeke not being allowed there anymore after a fist fight or alike. But she checks: "What did you tell him to do?"

Beck reponds honestly: "I told him to get it over with and tell her the truth of course. What did you tell her?"

"I figured there must be a better reason than that choking nonsense, the way she described their fights going. I didn't know that it was a reason that's possibly even more stupid than the choking one, but whatever. I told Eileen that she should make him admit there's something else – but to leave him alone after that if he really doesn't want to tell."

So, they both did give advice after their own relationship. They have a deal to always tell each other the truth – at least as far as they feel able to. Sometimes, one of them doesn't want to talk about what's going on, but they at least say that something is going on then and that they just don't want to talk about it. That's fine for both of them.

"We are good advice givers," Beck claims, smiling, which also makes Jade smirk.

And Beck gets an idea: "How about we make a segment on that on TheSlap? Offer people to give them relationship advice?"

Jade raises her eyebrows at him. "You know how many weird questions we'll get if we actually offer that?"

"We won't have to answer any weird question," Beck says. "And I don't think anybody will dare asking those as they will be afraid that you'll publicly call them out on it."

"I would do that," Jade notices.

Which sounds like they are agreed and will do this. "Good."

"Whatever," Jade makes. "The more couples that stay together at this school, the less people being all over you. So count me in."

Beck has to smile again before Jade pulls him into a breathtaking kiss.

.

.

They write about their new video on both their profiles and offer everyone to send them a private message on TheSlap – Jade taking care to already threaten to expose anyone asking something too weird.

Beck wonders if they will questions at all with that, but each of them quickly get quite a few. As it seems, people really do trust them to know a little bit about relationships. He doesn't necessarily knows if that's true. After all, they both are each other's first boy- and girlfriend. They don't have much experience – they just have a whole lot with each other.

They agree on filming the video once again in school and meet up for it during one of their study halls which leaves time for things like this. Beck brought his laptop this time to not bother with the school equipment which might also be all in use. And this way, they can open up TheSlap on it, read the questions they got there, while using the laptop camera to film themselves.

They settle down on the couch in one of their break rooms, the laptop on the table in front of them. Jade is quick to drape herself all over Beck, as soon as he has sat down. Not that he minds. Though he notices that she isn't in her best moods and kind of... uses him to calm herself down. Uses the closeness to him, because that does calm her down a bit. No, he also doesn't mind that. He does mind her being in a bad mood.

For a moment, he wants to ask her about it, but usually, she doesn't like him asking, so instead he tries to do other conversation: "Have you read some of the questions before?"

"Nope," she answers shortly, not caring for that kind of conversation right now.

Well... He says: "I also only scrolled through it. Well, let's get right to it, huh?"

He leans forward and presses the button to start his camera, when Jade suddenly says: "Don't turn it on yet. I got something in my teeth."

Beck closes his eyes for just a moment. "I already turned it on."

"You turned it on while I was getting something out of my teeth?" Jade asks incredulously.

"I didn't know you were getting something out of your..." Beck starts explaining but he doesn't get any further.

"Just, alright," Jade interrupts him. "Let's just go. Just do it!"

"Do you wanna start over?" Beck checks. "Because I can just press the button..."

He wants to continue but Jade cuts in once more: "No, just go."

He takes a deep breath. He really doesn't know what's going on, but... well, if Jade wants to be like this...

He turns to the camera: "I'm Beck."

"Jade. I'm his girlfriend," Jade introduces herself.

Beck continues: "We've been dating for two years."

"Longer," Jade intervenes.

"Huh?"

Jade explains upon his confusion: "It's been longer than two years. But it doesn't matter, just keep going."

Has it been longer than two years? Last year, they only celebrated the anniversary of them getting together, which has been a few months after them starting to date. It's argueable when they actually started dating. Because they kind of drank a coffee in school together first and then rehearsed for a play a few times, just the two of them, before they went on an actual date. It's that that Beck would call them officially having started to date.

That's why he says: "I thought we officially started dating on the..."

Again, he doesn't get any further: "It doesn't matter!"

Doesn't it though? And why does Jade feel the need to talk to him this way?

But well, he won't say anything to it for now. Instead he turns back to the camera: "So, uh... A lot of people we know come to us for relationship advice."

Jade easily continues: "So we told people, if you have a relationshippy kind of question for us, just send it to my page on TheSlap."

"Or mine," Beck puts in."

"And maybe we'll answer it," Jade says.

"Yeah," Beck agrees, before Jade sarcastically adds: "Because we care so much about your problems."

And that's not a totally unlikely thing for her to say. But she would usually say it with more of a smirk, and... in sort of a different tone. This almost makes it sound like she doesn't actually wants to do this video though they agreed to do it. It's not like he forced her into this.

With everything else as well, he finally has to outright ask: "What's wrong?"

"What kind of dumb question is that?" Jade reacts, turning his face to him with an unnerved expression.

"You're..." Beck starts but just as before he doesn't get to finish his sentence.

Instead, Jade says: "Let's just start already!"

Because she doesn't want to talk about it. At least not on camera.

He looks at her for another moment, while she turns back to the laptop. He knows she also would't accept him turning the camera off over this. So they'll have to get through this somehow.

"Okay, first question is..." he therefore begins.

But there goes another sentence he doesn't get to finish.

"Don't read that one," Jade says.

Beck doesn't get what's with her. "Why not?"

"Read the next one," Jade says.

"Why can't we just start on the first question?" Beck wants to know.

Jade takes offense because that's what she does. "Why do you have to fight with me?"

"Okay, you need to chill," he finally says.

They can't actually do it like this. But if Jade doesn't feel like doing this, she should just come out and say so.

"Or else what?" Jade asks in a threatening tone.

Okay, he knows what: "Or else I'm not gonna talk to you for the rest of the day." It's an empty threat he sometimes uses. He's sure Jade knows just as well that he wouldn't be able to do it. Maybe for an hour but if she wanted to talk to him... no. There even would be a risk of him starting it, Jade getting pissed at him for doing it and not talking to him anymore for real and him then trying the whole day to get her to talk to him again.

But it's another threat she lets him use on her. She lets him say it for her to stop for a moment and think about what's happening, how she's acting. If anybody else would say that to her, she would only get angry or ignore it completely. But he's different for her. And he loves it almost as much as he loves her.

"You gonna chill?" he checks.

She seems to think about it for a second, before she say with a small pout: "Yes."

"Okay," Beck says. "The first question is..."

Jade interrupts him again: "Can I read it?"

That's not her being chill but... if that gets them further along with this... "Sure, go."

Therefore, Jade reads: "Hey, Beck and Jade, my girlfriend smells weird, how do I tell her without making her get all upset..." Her voice trails away with the last word before she says: "Uh, the battery is dying."

"What?" Beck was concentrated on the question and already thought about an answer.

"Look," Jade makes. "Your battery is down to one percent."

"Ooh, well, yeah," he says as he notices it too. He also doens't have his charger with him. Well, he should've checked beforehand if his battery was charged enough.

"And now it's down to zero percent," Jade notices.

"Oh," Beck only makes, before Jade concludes: "Okay, then I guess we are not gonna be giving relationship advice."

As she finished the sentence, the laptop first stopd recording and then goes completely black.

"This was a success," Beck mildly says. He says they would go through ten questions or so and then have a fun video to show for it.

"That's not my fault," Jade promptly responds, harshly, as if he said she was to blame. Though she might have a reason to blame him as they could've gone for all of study hall if he fully charged his laptop before.

"I didn't say it was," he explains, before he has to check: "Honestly: What's going on?"

She draws away from him a bit, looking at him. But now, without the camera, she shrugs: "Everyone just annoys me today."

That sometimes happens. Sometimes, Jade has those days where she can't stand anybody. Beck also has those days but not as extreme as Jade has them. And he doesn't outright show it. But yes, Jade can be in a bad mood because of something like that.

"Me, too?" Beck asks gently.

Jade again almost shows a pout. "No."

He doesn't annoy her. That's all he needs to hear.

With a smile he pulls her closer again, dropping a kiss on her hair. "Good."

For a while, they sit like that, enjoying each other. Beck guesses they won't go anywhere else for study hall if Jade gets annoyed so easily by everyone today. Everyone except him. He should stay with her right here.

After some time, Jade suddenly says: "We have to upload that video, even if we didn't end up giving any relationship advice."

"Why?" Beck wants to know.

Jade answers: "Because I'm not in the mood to do another video today but I said on my page on TheSlap that the first video of this will get posted today."

And Jade does what she says. They also do end up uploading it together later that day, only cutting out a very small part of the video. The part of him checking what's wrong with her. She says that his question might tip people off that she doesn't show her totally normal behaviour in the video while everybody will think it is without the question. And she wants it to look like her normal behaviour. She doesn't want to risk anybody to find out her very little tells that show when she isn't feeling all so well. Anybody but Beck who easily found all those tells.

"Of course," he answer for now, and teasingly adds: "Well, it'll show everyone that you just have to threaten your partner to not talk to them anymore to make them do whatever you want." Which isn't a great relationship advice at all, but well...

"Ass," Jade says with a smirk. "And just to be clear: I don't think you would be able to ignore me for a whole day."

Beck has to smirk too, as he smoothly responds: "I never said I would ignore you. Just not talk to you." And there are many other fun things he can do with Jade that don't necessarily include talking.

"Wow, really?" Jade says with raised eyebrows, and yet amused. She kisses him. "Well, let's leave that in there. I'm into you being like that."

Him pretending like he has any say over Jade.

He smiles. "Okay." They kiss again.
