You can probably already tell for yourself, but no. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

Chan: Hi! I've had an unmoveable cloud of….general depressifiednes over me for the last few days and I thought, heck, the best way to shift this is to write a good ole piece of Crowler/Jaden yaoi. There just is not enough of it out there.

Chazz: this is her Valentines Day gift to all of you.

Chan: yep! I hope you enjoy it.

Paring: Crowler/Jaden.

Warnings: yaoi. Swearing probably too. Chazz: oh so that's it? Not any Chazz-abuse in this chapter? Yami: or Yami abuse? Chan: just shush you two.

Summary: Crowler, reflecting on the things in life that he loves. It seemed appropriate for V day.

Chan: ok people, my own cure for the nameless blues:

The Things That I Love
Crowler's P.O.V.

Bed

I love sharing my bed with Jaden. He doesn't steal all the covers in the middle of the night. He mumbles about trap cards and high attack points. He cuddles close to me without even realising it.

Last night he was lying beside me, breathing softly and I was watching him sleep. Or so I thought.

"You still awake?" he mumbled, his voice muffled because he was face down on his pillow.

"Yeah. You ok?" I whispered, one hand reaching out to stroke the back of his neck.

"Open the window. It's too hot."

I smirked ad eyed his body.

"Yes, you are." I couldn't see his face but I knew he was blushing.

Storms

I love storms. He sometimes gets scared and lets me hold him close. He lets me rub his hair dry with a towel. He comes up with ghost stories that scare even me. He lights candles if the power goes out and makes the room seem suddenly romantic. He lets me kiss him in the rain.

One day he'd been hanging out with his friends until late and when he showed up at my door, dripping water everywhere as the thunder rumbled outside.

"You're going to get a cold!" I yelled turning the bath taps on full.

"Aww, but you'd take care of me." He sounded so cute I had to throw a towel at him to stop myself from softening.

"Maybe I'll have to stop you from going out at all." But the anger had left my voice.

"Yes, mum." He is so dead for that. I grabbed a pillow and hit him in the head with it. It burst, showering both of us with feathers.

Detention

I love detention with Jaden. He loves it too; he just acts like he doesn't so no one gets suspicious. He tells his friends not to waist their time waiting for him. He does his work in double quick time so we have the rest of his detention to ourselves. He lets me give him detention for the most stupid things. He knows I don't really mean it.

In class I was looking through the pile of homework the students had just handed me. I knew his wouldn't be there and he knew it too. I just wanted to draw it out for as long as I could.

"Jaden Yuki, why is your not homework not here?" I spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Err…you see, I was going to do it last night." he began. "But then I got sort of distracted and…um…" a few people had started to giggle. In the normal way I'd hate it if anyone was laughing at my Jaden, but right then I was just enjoying watching him squirm.

"I don't want to hear anymore of your excuses." I sighed. "Detention tonight." I lowered my head to look back at the work I was grading when I heard him speak again.

"But Sir I-" I cut him off by jumping to my feet.

"What did you just call me you slacker?!" ok so maybe I was overdoing it just a small bit. "It's Dr. Crowler. You just earned yourself another hour of detention."

"But-"

"Do you want to make it two extra hours?" He was silent after that until the end of class when I called him to my desk.

"You know why I didn't do that homework." He hissed.

"Oh really? I must have forgotten. Please, tell me again."

"I didn't do it because…" he lowered his voice slightly. "Because I was in bed with you."

"Poor excuse Jaden. You still have the detention."

"Well it doesn't look like I'll be distracted again tonight." Still, I know him too well to take this seriously.

"I guess that we'll just have to make up for it in detention then." Jaden went very red when I said this and hurried out of the room. I was very careful not to give anyone else detention for the rest of the day.

Exams

I love the night before exams. He lays sprawled out on the floor trying to study. He frowns when I flick on the TV, saying it's distracting him. He challenges me to practice duels. He stays up until past midnight.

"Are you coming to bed at all tonight?" I was lying on the bed watching him. He had a book propped open in front of him and, even though he was yawning, he shook his head.

"I'm gonna be asleep in the exam at this rate." He whined.

"What's new?" I muttered, half to myself. I got up and sat beside him. "You're never going to get this, are you?" I tried to make my voice sound comforting instead of amused.

"no." he leant against me with a deep sigh.

"Never mind." I ruffled his hair. "A slacker like you would never pass anyway." I slept on the floor that night.

Arguments

I may hate arguing with Jaden but I just love making up with him afterwards. He listens to me. He lets me kiss his cheek and say how sorry I am. He accepts my apology. He and I have the most gorgeous make-up sex ever.

The biggest argument we've ever had was when I got jealous of how close he is to Syrus. I've always known they were close friends but then some stupid rumour started up that they were more than friends. I know I should have just asked him, but I overreacted. I don't remember much about what was actually said, just both of us yelling and then him storming out, slamming the door behind him.

It was a Thursday night when that happened, and the next day he skipped his lessons with me. I tried to see him at the weekend but he wasn't in any of his normal places. By Monday morning I'd had enough. It had been a stupid rumour and a pointless argument. I got someone to cover my lesson for the day and headed out in search of Jaden. Now that he wasn't expecting me, it was surprisingly easy to find him. He was sitting alone underneath a tree just near the Slifer dorms. I came up behind him so he didn't see me until I spoke.

"Cutting class again, Jaden?" I smirked down at him. He gasped and whirled round so fast I heard his neck click.

"What are you doing here?" he snapped.

"I could ask you the same thing. Unlike you, I am a teacher. I am allowed to be out of class. You are not."

"Go to hell." He spat. My eyes flashed with only mild anger and stronger amusement.

"Insulting a teacher and not attending school? You're getting a detention for this." I was only joking, I had no intention of giving him a detention, but suddenly I saw his shoulders were shaking. "Are you crying?"

"No!" he wiped furiously at his eyes. "Just leave me alone!" I was quiet for a few minuets after that. I just watched him. It's strange how much just a few days apart had made me miss him. I stepped closer to him and a twig snapped under my foot, making him jump.

"I thought you'd left." The sunlight was shinning on his skin making him look even more beautiful than before.

"do you really want me to leave?"

"…I was never dating Syrus. I never even kissed him. I don't know how that even started….I'd never cheat on you."

"I know. I'm sorry I ever thought that." I sat down beside him and after a minute or two I draped one arm round his shoulders. He didn't pull away.

"I missed you these last few nights." He said, taking me by surprise. I laughed to myself.

"Well, I've got the rest of the day off now. Wanna come back to my room?" I took his hand in mine.

"Yes of course." We stood up together and headed away. Something told me that either Jaden or I would be in school for the rest of the day. Oh well. Maybe there was a virus going around.

Still, I think it's pretty obvious what I love more than anything else. And he's sleeping beside me with his head on my pillow. My Slifer fool.
