Syrus' Sacrifice
By Four Souls of the Shikon
Chapter 3- Alone Talk
The next morning, Zane Trusedale walked to class with Syrus' doll still in his pocket. He never let it out of his site and would be damned if anyone took it from him. He saw Jaden in class who was not sleeping, oddly but staring at him. He walked over.
"Yes, Jaden?" he asked casually.
"Uh..." Jaden looked confused. Guess he didn't want a conversation... "I was wondering, that if... Crowler's soul was turned into a doll... then does that -"
"Yes, Jaden," Zane said, taking out the doll of Syrus that was in his pocket, holding it gently. "Syrus is a doll as well."
Jaden's eyes widened, and Zane could see shock, anger, grief and sadness in his eyes. Well, why wouldn't he be sad? Syrus and Jaden were attached at the hip. You never saw one without the other, which quite annoyed Zane when he was trying to figure out his feelings for his otouto.
"Don't worry Jaden, we'll beat Camilla," Zane said before going over to sit in his respective seat.
The lesson seemed to drone on, even though it was much better when Dr. Crowler wasn't there. It still took forever, and Zane wanted a break so that he could talk to Syrus alone for a little while. He hadn't had a chance to since last night because nobody was in the dorm room. He had been alone then, but now Chazz was back in the dorm. He didn't want anyone to think him crazy, talking to a doll, right?
The class was finally over and it was time for lunch. Zane hardly ate anything, so he just walked back to his dormitory and sat down on the bed. He took out Syrus' doll and just stared at it.
/Zane... don't you want to go and eat?/ Syrus wondered. /I haven't seen you eat yet.../
/I'm fine, Syrus,/ Zane said. /I just want to spend time with you./
/Aww. Zane.../ Syrus whispered. /Alright, but at dinner I want you to eat something.. for me, ok?/
Zane nodded. /Alright, if it'll make you happy, I will./
Syrus was feeling happy inside, even if he was just an inanimate object. Syrus Trusedale was happy that his brother loved him, and that Zane loved him in return. But he had a feeling that someone else had feelings for him too.
/Say Zane, what did you and Jaden talk about?/ Syrus asked. /I heard him earlier./
/Oh uh... he just wanted to know if you had become a doll like Crowler,/ Zane replied. /Nothing too big./
/Oh.../ Syrus replied. /Is he... worried about me?/
/I think so, Syrus.../
Syrus sighed heavily. He knew it. Jaden Yuki had feelings for him.
How was he going to tell him that he loved someone else?
TBC...
