GX - GX

-- The next morning --

Syrus woke up to see the sun shining through the windows and the curtains pulled back. Then he sat up to see he was alone.

'Where did Zane go?' Syrus asked, worried. Then the door to the bathroom opened and Zane walked out wearing black boxers.

"Oh... you're awake." Zane said when he noticed Syrus.

"Yeah. Where were you?"

"In the shower. Where else?"

"Oh, I thought you had left... you know... for good." Syrus said, and Zane chuckled then went over to the bed and kneeled down next to him.

"I would never do that, Sy." Zane said, sweetly. "I love you, and would never leave you." He said, then kissed Syrus' forehead, lovingly.

"I would never leave you either, Zane." Syrus whispered, and Zane smiled.

Then, Zane began to leave cute, little, butterfly kisses down Syrus' cheek, on his neck, and across his collarbone. Then the door opened and Aster walked in... again.

"How many times do I have to tell you to knock before you get the picture?!" Zane yelled. "And I thought you had learned you lesson after last night!" (Yes, Aster walked in on Zane and Sy-Sy last night... at a very bad time to tell you guys the truth.)

"Sorry, but Satorious wants to see Syrus... and isn't very patient this morning."

"Fine. We'll be right down. Give us two minutes."

"Right. Two minutes." Aster said, sarcastically, then closed the door. "Now where have I heard that before?" He asked himself before walking down the stairs and into the training room where Satorious was.

"Well... where are they?" Satorious asked.

"They said they would be right down."

"Yeah right." Satorious said.

"You don't believe me?" Aster asked, and he sounded rather... hurt.

"No, them. I don't believe them."

"Niether do I?"

-- 25 minutes later --

"Sorry we're late." Syrus said as he came into the room. "We got a little... sidetracked."

"That doesn't matter. Come Syrus... we must train you some more."

"Of course."

-- After training was over --

They were all sitting in the training room when all of a sudden Syrus asked a question.

"Do dragons breath fire?"

"If you're asking if Zane is going to start then... not yet. He's not ready to sustain a flame." Satorious answered.

"Lucky for Aster." Zane said, and Aster stuck his tongue out at him.

"Will you two stop it. You act like me and my brother." Satorious let slip, then slapped a hand over his mouth.

"You have a brother?" Syrus asked.

"Great! More secrets!" Aster said, sarcastically.

"Had a brother." Satorious said, completely ignoring what Aster had said.

"What happened to him?"

"He was killed by-" Satorious said, but stopped himself before he finished. "By someone."

"Who?"

"That's not important right now."

"He doesn't trust me." Syrus whispered to Zane.

"Maybe we need to trust him first." Zane whispered back.

-- Later that day --

Syrus was walking on the bridge alone thinking to himself.

'Okay. So I know that Satorious has always been the secretive kind, but I would think that he would atleast tell someone that he had a brother.' Syrus thought to himself. 'Aster probably. Those two have always been close... atleast that's what I've heard. And I have a feeling that they might be more then just "close friends", but how do I prove it?' He thought. Then he accedently bumped into someone and he looked up to see who it was. It was Jaden. "Oh, sorry about that, Jay. I guess I was so focused on my thoughts that I didn't realize where I was going."

"Nah, it's cool. What were you thinkin' about?"

"About Satorious and Aster."

"What about 'em?"

"Haven't you noticed that those two are so close that it's almost as if they're in..."

"A relationship? Those two?" Jaden asked, then there was silence for a minute before Jaden just started hysterically laughing.

"What is so funny? It's possible. You know what they say 'the best of lovers are the best of friends'."

"Yeah, that's what they said about us too, Sy, but it never happened." Jaden said while wiping a couple tears away.

"Just because it didn't happen between us doesn't mean that it can't happen at all." Syrus said. "You've seen how close those two are. Like two peas in a pod."

"That's how we're like too, Sy."

"You think what you want and I'll think what I want."

"Cool with me. So... how's the training coming?"

"Not good. Satorious pulls me out of bed really early in the morning just to beat me up." Syrus said. "So... how are things going with you?"

"Pretty good."

"Anything new?"

"Yeah, Bastion asked me out last night." Jaden said, bluntly, which caused Syrus to spit out the water he was drinking.

"And... you said?"

"I told him... that I'd think about it."

"What?!" Syrus yelled. "Are you crazy?! What is wrong with you?!" Syrus yelled while shaking Jaden's shoulders, roughly. "If you don't want to have Bastion snatched up then you better tell him yes quickly!"

"But... I don't know if I love him or not." Jaden said, and Syrus sweatdropped.

"That could a problem."

"You're telling me." Jaden said as he sat on the steps of the Slifer dorm. Syrus just stood there for a minute before sitting next to Jaden.

"Well... do you feel differently around him?"

"Discribe 'differently'."

"Like... special. Do you get any weird feelings around him?"

"Discribe 'weird feelings'."

"Do you feel like you have butterflys in your chest?"

"Come to think of it... yeah. I kinda do?" Jaden said as a light blush began to appear on his evenly-taned skin.

"When something happens between you two do you ever feel like your stomach does a backflip?"

"Describe 'something'."

"Like when he talks to you in a certain way or when you two make contact."

"Describe 'contact'."

"Any kind of contact. You know like... when he touches you."

"Touches me? I don't think he's ever touched me before."

"Never? Not even once? Even just a touch on the shoulder? Anything?"

"Oh, you mean that kind of touching."

"What did you think I meant?"

"Well..."

"Jaden, you're such a pervert!"

"You should talk. I heard about what happened last night. Aster told me."

"I'm not exactly surprised. That pervert walked in on us!" Syrus said. "But that's not what we are talking about, is it? Now... tell me if that's ever happened."

"Well... yeah, it has actually."

"Then what are you waiting for, Jay? Go and tell him how you feel."

"But... what if I'm making a mistake?"

"Just go. You'll be fine." Syrus said, and Jaden stood up with a brave expression on his face.

"You're right, Sy! I'm gonna go up to Bastion and tell him that... I love him!"

"Yeah! You go, Jay!" Syrus said right before Jaden took off in the direction of the Ra yellow dorm.

-- At the Ra yellow dorm --

Jaden ran for the dorm. When he got there, he quickly found Bastion's room and knocked on the door.

"I'm coming." Bastion said from inside and soon the door opened. "Oh, hi Jaden."

"Hi. Can I come in?"

"Sure." Bastion said. So Jaden went inside and sat down on Bastion's bed.

"Bastion, I want to talk to you." Jaden said after Bastion sat on the bed next to him. "It's about... what you asked me last night. I want to know... did you mean it?"

"Of course I meant it, but is that all you wanted to say about it?"

"No. I want to say that I... I... I..."

"You what?"

"That... I love you." Jaden said, quickly. So quickly that Bastion didn't hear him.

"Jaden, if you're going to tell me something than say it slower."

"I-I love you." Jaden said, slower that time so that Bastion could hear him.

"You what?"

"I think you heard me, Bastion."

"Oh, I did, but I'm just kinda shocked. That's all."

"Why? Because you don't love me back?"

"No! That's not it! I'm just kind of shocked that you would return my feelings."

"You mean-" Jaden was cut off when Bastion pressed a finger to his lips.

"Yes. I love you too, Jaden."

"Oh, Bastion! That makes me so happy to hear!" Jaden nearly squeeled with happiness before flinging his arms around Bastion's neck and kissing him deeply.

Bastion just smiled against Jaden's lips and wrapped his arms around Jaden's waist, pulling him closer.

They broke away a couple minutes later they broke away from lack of oxygen and smiled at each other.

GX - GX

This chapter I think was more focused on SatoriousxAster and BastionxJaden rather than ZanexSyrus, but the next chapter will have more ZanexSyrus romance. I can promise you that!
