Syrus' Sacrifice

Chapter 10

Happily Ever After

Two months later, everyone was back on their feet. The Shadow Riders had been defeated. The God cards were put back in their rightful place. Chazz, Syrus, Zane and Jaden were all back to normal and attending classes and such. But, not everything is as it seems. Especially where love is concerned.

Chazz and Jaden had admitted their feelings for one another one day while Chazz was still in the hospital due to poisoning from the plant. Jaden had rarely left the hospital. So now they have been dating for five months and trying to get a shag in every five minutes, of course.

Zane and Syrus were taking it slow, however. They were happy that they finally got to be in each other's arms instead of Zane carrying around the doll, and wandering like a lost puppy, which Chazz laughed about the time Jaden brought it up, which recieved a heated glare from Zane along with a "He wasn't the only one though, was he, Jaden?" from Syrus, because he was indeed right. Jaden had been wandering about, mourning for Syrus.

Right then, Chazz and Jaden were in the Slifer Dorms while Zane had taken Syrus to the Obelisk Dorms. Syrus was laying in Zane's arms, his head on Zane's lap, while Zane stroked his hair, probably lulling the smaller boy to sleep.

"Hey Syrus…" Zane spoke softly, causing him to look up at his older brother.

"Yeah?" Syrus asked, his eyes closing slowly as he let out a small yawn. Zane smiled down at him and ran a hand through his hair.

"I love you," Zane smiled and Syrus smiled back, snuggling deeper into Zane.

"I love you too, Zane," Syrus smiled happily as he closed his eyes. "Good night, Zane."

"Good night, Syrus." He whispered and planted a kiss on his lips.

Chazz was nestled in Jaden's arms and he was half asleep already. It was eight o' clock at night and they had all just eaten supper in the Slifer cafeteria, except for Syrus who was invited to to the Obelisk cafeteria by Zane.

Jaden was absentmindedly stroking Chazz's hair as he looked out the window. Chazz yawned slightly which brought Jaden back to the real world.

"Chazz?"

Chazz looked up at Jaden from his place in Jaden's lap. "Hmm?" he whispered tiredly.

"Do you want to go to bed?" Jaden asked as he ran a hand through Chazz's hair.

Chazz shook his head. "Naw, I like it here."

Jaden grinned. "Alright. If you say so."

But Chazz was already asleep. Jaden smiled and fell asleep shortly after.

Zane looked down at the sleeping boy in his arms. He loved him to death and would never let him go.

"Syrus... my precious angel..." Zane smiled and looked down at his little brother.

Syrus snuggled deeper into Zane's arms. Zane bit back a chuckle so that he wouldn't wake up Syrus. He shifted his hold on Syrus so that his head was resting against Zane's chest, near his heart, where Syrus belonged.

They would be together forever, and Zane Trusedale would make sure of that.

This would be their Happily Ever After.
