Last chapter wasn't a really good chapter, was it? I apologize for it. I just realized it seems to be a pointless filling chapter, but after all, it wasn't planned before. I was just like want to make a loyal reviewer happy, and it seemed I have just failed soooo badly… *sniff*
Anyway, this chapter is dedicated to PrincessAnime08 [and also Yugiohfanfic26, if you weren't happy reading the last one] like what I've probably told you. But I have fixed much stupidity when I was writing the third chapter, so hopefully you'll enjoy reading this better.
And I really apologize for the long wait folks!! 'I' was like "O. M. F. G. I forget to post that chapter.", and 'me' was like "Great, it seems like you're going to have to make another lame excuse.", and then 'myself' was like "Go make one then. School, holiday, anything." At the end, I decided to make this chapter a longer chapter plus another normal one. I hope they are good enough to be an excuse. XD I actually was really busy with all those lame school works and school events and school friends; well basically it's all school's fault! Now why don't you just blame everything on SCHOOL instead of ME?! -_-;
Oops, guess I lost control. Nevermind, enjoy!

Chapter 4: Please Give Me Wings
"…but, Please give me wings and believe that just as with this song I swear I'll accept all the past."
"Well… Honestly, Jaden. I have no problem with that." said the long-haired girl.
The short blunette looked a little bit confused, but then agreed with the girl. "Yeah, is it really what you've been thinking recently? I mean, does it really matter to you?"
It was recess time, and yeah, Jaden had given up covering what had been bothering him. After receiving those kind of positive comments he didn't really expect would be coming, Jaden finally raised his head a little bit, trying to meet the others' gaze."…Really? I mean you guys don't mind having a guy who likes another guy as a friend?" The brunette said uncertainly at first. But then feeling his burden had been taken away from him.
"Well, I thought there really were no such things as gay, lesbian, and bi." Syrus said, scratching his cheek. "I don't think that's a bad thing, though."
"You know, I think that's kinda cute for a boy to be in love with another boy, to be honest." Both boys blinked to the only girl in the conversation. Their eyes shot her the 'perverted fangirl!' look, causing the girl to scratch her back of neck and laughed lightly "I mean, seriously… you—"
"Who's that guy, anyway?" Syrus said curiously. Or maybe he was rather trying to stop Alexis' fangirl instinct to lead the conversation into something more …filthy?
"Uhmm… J-J-Jess…" Jaden said uncertainly. But then he tried once more to give a clearer answer "Jesse Anderson."
"Oh, 'The Crystal Beast Boy', isn't he? Well, he's a pretty nice guy …and kinda cute too. Your taste sure isn't bad." Alexis said, earning the stop-making-things-sound-yaoish glare from the shorter brunette. She chuckled a bit, and then continued with her words. "I still don't understand why they call him with that 'crystal beast' thingy."
"I heard that's because he named his pets with gemstones names." The boy with glasses said.
"Really? Isn't that kinda …weird?" Alexis said, apparently just asking to herself and not expecting any answer. "You should just date him anyway, Jaden."
Jaden choked at what the blond-haired girl said. "I should what?!" he asked, a little bit shouting at the now chuckling girl. His eyes were wide from not seeing it coming from the Alexis' mouth.
"Well… You know what, I heard he's become interested in playing guitar but he had never played it before. And you do play guitar, right?"
"And your point is?" Jaden asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Go offer him a routine guitar-playing lesson."
This time Jaden didn't choke. Instead, there was only somewhat awkward silence. He thought deeply about the idea. Wait, why should he thought about it when he actually had done it?
"Oookay. That might be a great idea, if only we're close to him. Besides, Alexis, you don't seem to have heard the news that Jesse has already got a guitar-playing tutor. Never heard who's him, though." It was Syrus, saying things proudly like he knew anything in the whole world.
"Really? That's too bad. I thought it would be a great chance for Jaden to-"
"Guys, where did you get all of that information about him?" asked the brunette loudly, as he was getting confused with the all of the chatters. "I mean, it's more likely that you two are the ones with secret crush on him."
"Oh c'mon, Jaden. Every class has its own celebrities. And every celebrity has their own gossips." Alexis said nonchalantly, chuckling a little bit. Her tone went even more cheerful by now. "You just need to keep your eyes and ears open."
"Anyway…" The blonde continued. "We have to figure out another way to get him closer to you then."
"Honestly, Alexis. Why do we 'have to' do that?" Jaden asked, receiving frowns from the others. "You know, it's not like it will be the end of the world if I don't date him."
"We are just trying to help, bro. Well, if you think that it's none of our business-"
"We'll still be trying to help." Alexis cut the blunette's words before he could finish it. Her voice was full of determination, and scorching fire could be seen in her eyes comically.
"And if I ask you to stop?"
"I insist." was the short and determined answer. Jaden wasn't surprised to hear it from Alexis, though.
"Well, actually you guys don't really have to go through all of those troubles getting him close to me since-" Jaden cut himself, mentally cursing his idiocy for almost telling his friends about how close he and Jesse really were. 'Oh no… Alexis! She'd probably be spying us later if I told her about the guitar-playing things. NO, she'll be spying us FOR SURE!!'
"Since…?" The fangirl asked with a long, teasing voice. She seemed to notice that Jaden was trying to hide something. "Lemme guess. Since you two already are dating?"
Jaden didn't reply, only making a surprised face that convinced the girl even more.
"I am a hundred percent correct, aren't I?" The obelisk student moved one step forward. Her look right now was even more teasing than her words before. Syrus could only blink at Alexis' words and Jaden's panic face. "So Mr. Yuki, answer me now. How close you two really are and how you managed to get that close with him?"
Jaden's sweat dropped. He knew that condition was really not good for him. He also, however, knew that there was no way out from that situation. Alexis was after all, one scary and tricky girl. She had successfully got him trapped.
"Okay, you win. I'm his guitar-playing tutor you were talking about" The Slifer student sighed in defeat. "We aren't really dating, though. It was even like the first time we meet when I offered him a guitar lesson."
A knock or two could be heard from Jaden's door. "Jay! It's me, Jesse." And it was followed by that familiar call. Jaden got up from his bed, finding it quite weird to hear Jesse call him by a nickname that not even Alexis or Syrus had ever used.
"Comin'!" The brunette shouted, running to his front door. "Hiya Jess! Great to see you!"
Neither Jaden nor Jesse notice how much they had talked in a way close friends do. After some 'welcome' and 'so this is your place' chattering, the blunette entered the room, following the room's inhabitant slowly.
"I know this isn't as big, and neat, and cozy as an Obelisk student's room." said the younger boy as he got his guitar out of the guitar bag. "But …well, yeah just make yourself at home."
"Y'know, this isn't a really bad place you've got here." Jesse said as he entered the living room and eyed it wholly. The teal-haired boy took some steps forward and stopped right next to a sofa. He then unzipped his guitar bag, having put it on the old-looking, red couch. "It's, like, rather fun and …humph, well, full of interesting things."
"You think so?"
"Absolutely." It was a pretty quick reply.
"Okay. Shall we begin with the lesson?" The brunette said as he lowered his body, about to sit on the floor. Having sat on the floor, Jaden then noticed that the Obelisk student didn't seem to be used to get himself down on the floor. "Oh, I don't mind if you'd like to sit on the couch. This is just my habit."
"Nah. I sit with you there." The blunette said while trying to find a good sitting spot next to Jaden. "It'll be easier for me to see how you do things, anyway."
'Jesse Anderson was like only five inches away from me! Yaaah!'
He wondered when he started making such girly noises in his mind. And, of course, he knew the answer was after meeting the blunette. He always had this 'cool but hot' atmosphere around him.
Long story short, Jaden did mentor Jesse for an hour. He was constantly distracted by the blunette's face for every five minutes of the mentoring, though. He also got some pictures of Jesse playing –or still trying to play– guitar that was originally requested by Alexis, but then Jaden seemed to not regret getting them. Thank God, Jesse didn't notice all of those stupidities. Well, at least he didn't seem to. After ending their session, the Obelisk Blue walked back to his own dormitory, waving at Jaden with his trademark confident smile on his face and shouting something that sounded to the brunette like 'See you tomorrow, Jay!'
Jaden sighed heavily. But then a he wore a mild, happy smile on his face. "What a day." He said to himself.
There you go. I'm happy with myself for being able to finish and post this chapter, which is kinda long for me. Yay for me! Anyway, I'm also happy with the fact that this story has got more story alert and favorite now. I don't know what made you people click the favorite story or story alert button when you were reading that third chapter. I mean, it was like a weird chapter.
Anyway yeah, I feel more confident about this chapter than the first three chapters. Well, I was really happy to hear that Yugiohfanfic26 wasn't disappointed by the third chapter, but I –as the author- actually was kinda. I think I should have put some more storyline there rather than some lame conversations. And what worse was that I just realized it after I posted that, silly me. I know I can change it, but firstly, I'm just too lazy to. And secondly, I don't want to make people revise what's been in their mind.
Oh yeah, sorry for Alexis' OOCness there. I think Mindy or Jasmine would make a lot better yaoi fangirl than her, but then it isn't really possible as neither of them was close enough to Jaden to make it that way fun. And hopefully Jesse will make more appearance in the next chapter
