GX - GX

One night a nine year old Zane Truesdale lay awake in bed. His mind was filled with too many thoughts to let him go to sleep. These thoughts weren't exactly normal thoughts either. He was thinking about his little brother, who's name was Syrus Truesdale. Even though the two were brothers Zane cared about Syrus far more then just brotherly love. He had felt this way ever since he held Syrus as a baby.

-- Flashback --

One morning a two year old Zane woke up and went into his momma's room because he heard the sound of a baby crying. The door was open a little so he peeked inside. Inside the room was his momma along with her private nurse and a baby that she held in her arms. Zane went into the room and once his momma saw him she smiled.

"Come in, Zane." She said, happily. "He doesn't bite." She said so Zane went over to the bed and sat next to his momma on the bed.

"Baby?" Zane asked as he looked at his momma with curious eyes.

"Not just any baby, Zane. He's your new little brother. And I think I'll name him... Syrus."

"Sy... rus." Zane said, trying to say his new little brother's name.

"There you go." She said with a smile, then kissed the top of his head lovingly and he giggled.

"I'll be in the kitchen eating my breakfast, ma'am." Said the nurse as she headed for the door. "If you need anything then just call for me."

"Okay... and thanks."

"No need to thank me ma'am. It's my job." She said, then walked out of the room, leaving the family alone.

"So... do you like him?" Zane's momma asked him.

"Yes, momma. I do. I do like him." He said with a smile.

"Do you want to hold him?"

"Sure." Zane said with a nod so she carefully put Syrus into Zane's arms. Zane held him closely, being careful not to drop or hurt him. Syrus had been crying, but as soon as he saw his older brother he stopped and they looked at each other for a couple minutes. Then Syrus sputtered out useless baby talk and opened his arms wide, looking as though he wanted to hug Zane. Zane brought Syrus up so Syrus' head was on his shoulder. Then Syrus placed a hand on Zane's hair and ran his fingers through the silky strands. Then Syrus gave an openmouthed smile as he started messing up Zane's neat hair with both hands and Zane giggled again. "I think he likes my hair, momma."

"I think he does too." She said and also giggled. Soon Syrus got tired and Zane brought him down so his head was by his heart. Syrus yawned cutely and cuddled himself into Zane's chest for warmth with his eyes closed. Then Zane handed Syrus back to his momma, but once he did Syrus started crying again. "I think he wants to sleep while cuddled into you." Their momma said. So Zane took Syrus back and Syrus once again calmed down and cuddled into Zane's chest.

"He's so cute." Zane said smiling as he looked down to see his brother sleeping in his arms with a smile on his face too.

"You both are." She said as she ran her fingers through Zane's hair. Zane continued to look at his brother and that's when he first felt it. He felt an emotion that he had never felt before. It was strange to him and a little scary. But he still liked it and wanted to continue feeling it.

-- End Flashback --

Zane continued thinking until there came a knock at his door. He knew who it was considering the fact that they were home alone for the weekend, but decided to ask anyway.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Zane... it's Syrus. May I come in?" Syrus asked from the other side of the door.

"Sure." Zane said so Syrus came in, closing the door behind him. He was holding a teddy bear that Zane had made for him about a year ago. Then Zane realized that Syrus had a sad look on his face. "What's wrong, little brother?" Zane asked, concerned.

"Brother, I'm scared."

"Of what?"

"I had a bad dream."

"Syrus, come here." Zane said as he opened his arms, signaling the boy to come into his arms. Syrus sat on Zane's lap as Zane wrapped his arms around his little brother. "Do not be frightened. It was just a dream."

"But it seemed so real."

"Relax. Everything will be alright... you'll see. I'm here." Zane said, soothingly, as he continued to pull the younger boy closer and closer into him. Syrus layed his head near Zane's heart and smiled.

"That's a good sound to hear."

"What sound would that be?"

"The sound of your heartbeat." Syrus said, causing Zane to smile. Then Zane lifted Syrus chin up so he could see his face.

"What happened in your dream?"

"You were dying... and I couldn't save you." Syrus said, then started breaking out in sobs. Zane pulled Syrus closer from behind so Syrus' back was pressed against Zane's chest. Zane layed his head on Syrus' shoulder and began to stroke his back, lovingly.

"Calm down, little one." Zane said as he continued to stroke Syrus' back. "Don't be scared." He whispered. Then Syrus' head went back on Zane's shoulder and he moaned lightly.

"You have such a gentle touch, Zane." Syrus whispered, softly. "It just makes me forget about everything." He said, and Zane stopped stroking his back and let go of him. "Zane?"

"You shouldn't say stuff like that, Syrus."

"Why not?"

"Because that's usually something that someone in a relationship would say to the other person."

"I don't care."

"You don't?"

"No, and do you want to know why? It's because... I love you that way." Syrus said. His heart was pulsing so fast that he was afraid it would burst. He looked at his brother and Zane looked a little shocked, but then he smiled warmly at Syrus.

"Syrus, I-I love you too."

"You do?" Syrus asked, and Zane nodded slowly. Then Syrus turned around and flung his arms around Zane's neck, hugging him tightly. Zane hugged him back and heard Syrus sigh happily. "Zane?"

"Yes?"

"What do people do when they love each other the way we do?"

"Well after they confess like we just did they usually... kiss."

"What's a kiss?"

"Well it's-it's... difficult to explain." Zane said. Then Syrus broke the hug pulled back and looked at Zane in the eyes.

"Can you show me?"

"Sure... if you would like me to."

"Yes, I would like you to." Syrus said with a smile, and Zane chuckled.

"Well... okay." He said so Syrus started listening for instructions. "First, you have to know if the person you're kissing really loves you. So... do you love me, Syrus?"

"Yes, Zane. Yes, I do." He said. "And do you love me?"

"Of course." Zane said, and Syrus gave an openmouthed smile.

"Secondly, you have to move your lips closer to mine. Not so much that they're touching though. We still have two more steps to go through before we can have our lips touching."

"That's what a kiss is?"

"Pretty much."

"I saw two people do that in the movie 'Titanic'."

"You saw that movie?" Zane asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I watched it one time with momma. But she fast forward through one part."

"What part?"

"Some part when Jack and Rose are in one of those antique cars."

"Oh." Zane said as he blushed lightly, but since it was dark Syrus didn't notice anything. "That I can understand."

"What happens in that part, big brother?"

"I'll tell you when you're older, but right now... we have to get back to the kissing lesson." Zane said, and Syrus nodded in agreement. Then Syrus moved up a little bit so their faces were closer together.

"Like this?" Syrus whispered.

"Exactly. Now... close your eyes." Zane whispered, and Syrus gave him a weird look. "Kissing is something so good that you can't see it... only feel it." He said. So Syrus obeyed and closed his eyes. "Now... move even closer to me?"

"How can I do that when I can't see anything?" Syrus asked with his eyes still closed.

"Okay, okay. I'll do it." Zane said. Then leaned down and captured Syrus' lips in a soul-searing kiss. Sparks were flying between the two of them as they continued kissing. Syrus wrapped his arms around Zane's neck just as Zane was wrapping his arms around Syrus' waist. After a couple minutes they broke away slowly and looked into each other's eyes. After another couple of minutes Syrus finally broke the silence between them.

"That was a kiss, huh?"

"Yep, that was a kiss." Zane said and Syrus hugged him.

"That was amazing! Who knew that such a simple gesture could mean so much?" Syrus asked. Zane smiled, but then thought of something and broke away from Syrus. "What's the matter?"

"Syrus... I love you with all my heart and soul."

"But...?"

"But we can never actually be together."

"Why not?"

"Because... we're brothers and people would find it wrong if we're together this way."

"Zane, if you're putting tradition on top of our relationship then you really don't love me."

"Don't say that, Syrus. I do love you. More than anything else in the world... in all the universes combined."

"If you did then why are you saying that kind of thing?"

"Because I don't want to lie to you and I don't want you to think that something like this is right when-"

"When it's not?"

"Well... yeah." He said. Then the next thing he knew, Syrus got off the bed and ran out of the room.

-- The next night --

Zane was sitting on his bed. He hadn't been out of his room all day, and Syrus hadn't bothered to see him either. Zane layed down on the bed and sighed sadly. 'Syrus, why did you have to leave?' Zane thought to himself. Then his door opened and he sat up quickly to see who it was. It was Syrus.

"Syrus?" Zane whispered. "I thought that you were mad at me."

"I was." Syrus whispered back. "But I've been thinking a lot about what you said. The not wanting to lie to me thing and... well... I was thinking that... maybe... we could... well-"

"We could what?" Zane interrupted.

"We could be together if we keep it a secret?" Syrus asked, quickly.

"I... never thought of that."

"So we can?"

"Well... why not?" Zane said, then Syrus went up and hugged him tightly.

"Yes! Thank you!" Syrus said, happily.

"I'm the one who should be thanking you." He said as he hugged Syrus back, just as tightly.

-- (I'm skipping through time) Ten years later --

Zane and Syrus were at the lighthouse on Duel Academy, sitting next to each other and it was nearing 10:30 pm. Zane was now almost 20 and was entering his second year of being in the pro league. But even though he was pro duelist he spent as much time as he could on the island, just so he could see Syrus. As for Syrus, he was now 17 (turning 18 near the end of the year) and entering his third year being at the school.

"Zane?"

"Yeah, Sy?"

"I'm glad that we got together."

"Me too." Zane said with a smile as hugged Syrus even closer then he already was, but not so close that he was hurting him.

"You know... most people are saying that this relationship will never last." Syrus said. (People had found out about their relationship a couple years ago so they just gave up on trying to hide it.)

"Well they're wrong. We've gotten this far, Syrus. And our relationship has definitely had it's twists and turns."

"You can say that again." Syrus said, as he thought back to the time when Zane went all 'Hell Kaiser'.

"Syrus, what are you thinking about?"

"I was just thinking about the time when you went all wacko."

"I promise you, Syrus. I won't do something like that again."

"I know you won't, Zane. You promised me that you wouldn't."

"And I won't break that promise now... or ever." Zane said. Syrus gave Zane one of his famous openmouthed smiles then moved up a little to kiss Zane's neck. Zane shuddered as he felt Syrus' cool lips on his neck. Syrus felt the shudder and quietly asked him what was wrong. "It's just that... you've never kissed me there before."

"Did you not like it?"

"No, no, no. It's not like that. I did like it. It felt good actually." Zane said, and Syrus just kissed him on the neck again. This time Zane just moaned and leaned into Syrus' touch. Then Syrus stopped and looked at him.

"Zane, do you know what just occurred to me?"

"What?"

"We've been going out for 10 years and we haven't once gone all the way."

"Well... I don't want you to feel rushed into anything. If you don't want to then I can certainly wait." Zane said, comfortingly.

"Well Jaden and Bastion went all the way within a week of their relationship."

"That's because they both like to rush things. I don't." Zane said. "I don't want to do this if you don't." He said, and Syrus started thinking.

'Zane doesn't realize it, but the more he says he's willing to wait... the more I want him.' Syrus thought.

"But what if I want to do this?" Syrus asked after he was done thinking.

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I'm ready." Syrus said, confidently.

"Are you absolutely positive? Because if you're even the slightest bit unsure then I'll-" Zane started, but was cut off when Syrus kissed him, forcefully.

"Zane... I love you, but you talk too much." Syrus said with a smile after they broke away from each other.

"So... you're positive?"

"Yes." Syrus said. Then Zane picked him up, bridal-style, and brought them back to his dorm room.

-- In Zane's dorm room --

Zane put Syrus down so he could close and lock the door. Then he turned and saw Syrus standing in front of the desk next to the bed. Zane went over then kissed Syrus' neck and heared Syrus moan lightly. Syrus then gasped as he felt his jeans being unbuttoned and zipped down. Syrus relaxed, but soon tensed up again and a tiny yelp escaped his mouth when he felt one of Zane's hands slip underneath his pants and boxers while the other one went up his shirt. He blushed madly as Zane's hand that was underneath his pants and boxers went up into his shirt also. Then both of Zane's hands began to trail over Syrus' nipples and pinch them lightly until they were both hard on his chest.

"Oh... Zane." Syrus moaned, breathlessly. "That feels so good." Syrus moaned, then he felt Zane lightly biting his neck until he left a mark there. Then Zane traced the mark with his tounge and Syrus shuddered.

"You're all mine now." Zane whispered into Syrus' ear then continued with what he was doing.

-- About a week later --

Syrus was sitting at one of the tables in the Slifer red dorm cafeteria, and was blushing while thinking about what had happened. Then Jaden and Bastion came up and saw him like that. Then they took a seat across from him before Jaden finally spoke up.

"What happened to you?" Jaden asked. (Note: They haven't seen each other in a while.)

"What do you mean?"

"I've never seen you blush so much before."

"Oh... nothing." Syrus lied. Then his hand went onto the spot where Zane had marked him and his blush deepend a lot. Bastion noticed and an idea came to him.

"Something wrong with your neck?" Bastion asked.

"No." Syrus said as he quickly put his hand down.

"You sure?" Bastion asked, then got up and took a seat next to Syrus. "Let me see."

"No. Really, Bastion, I'm fine."

"Let me see." He said as he moved Syrus' hair out of the way a little bit then pulled down the collar of Syrus' shirt just enough so he saw the mark. "Looks like Syrus got marked." Bastion said with a smirk and Syrus' blush deepened again.

"Are you serious?!" Jaden nearly yelled, and Bastion moved back to his seat next to Jaden.

"Yes. Syrus is marked." Bastion said with a sly grin and Syrus just sat there silent. Then Jaden looked out the window and saw Zane coming.

"Hey look! There's Syrus' lover now." Jaden said, then tapped on the glass. Zane heard so he looked up and waved then headed for the door that went into the cafeteria.

"Did you have to call him that?" Syrus asked. Then the door opened and Zane came over to them. Zane took a seat next to Syrus and looked at Jaden.

"Did you want me for something?"

"No, not really. I just wanted to see you two together." Jaden said and started to look back and forth from Zane to Syrus. Finally Zane just had to figure out what he was doing.

"Jaden?"

"Yeah?"

"What on earth are you doing?"

"You know I never really got the chance to see you guys like this, but you two make a very cute couple." Jaden said, and Syrus knew what was coming next.

"Just cut to the chase already, Jaden." Syrus said.

"Well... if you insist." Jaden said, then looked at Zane and smiled. "Bastion found a mark on Syrus' neck." Jaden said, causing Zane to start coughing.

"Yes, care to elaborate on that, Zane?" Bastion asked.

"Not... really."

"Well... too bad because we want to know what happened." Jaden said.

"What's to say? It's not like it's a world changing event."

"It's a big change in your relationship."

"We just went further... so what?"

"So what?!" Jaden yelled. "What do you mean so what?! This is big... no... huge!" He yelled. "This is the first time in a 10 year relationship that you two have gone all the way and all you can say is so what!"

"Jaden, stop yelling." Zane said, calmly, but in a warning tone. "You're causing a scene." He said, and Jaden calmed down a little.

"I just can't believe that you guys have held out this long. I could never hold out forlong." Jaden said. "I'm always getting these urges. You know... in my family we mature faster. I think it's because of all the oysters we eat."

"That would explain why you get turned on so easily." Bastion said.

"I think it's the schnapps." Zane said, sarcastically.

"I'll have you know that no one in my family drinks... except my uncle, but that's a diffrent story."

"I can see that you've been looking through my dictionarys again." Bastion said. "Because your vocabulary has improved."

"Uh... okay." Syrus asked.

"He speaks!" Jaden said, happily. "You've only said one thing since Zane got here." He said, and Syrus looked back out the window.

"Syrus, lets go outside." Zane said. So they both got up and left.

"Was it something I said?" Jaden asked as he turned to face Bastion.

"I don't think so. Nothing you said was insulting."

-- With Zane and Syrus --

They were behind the Slifer dorm, looking out at the ocean.

"Sy, are you embarrassed about what happened?"

"No, but it's just kinda weird to talk about it."

"Understandable, but... do you regret it?"

"No."

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm positive." Syrus said, and Zane smiled. Then Zane went up and wrapped his arms around Syrus' waist, placing his head on top of Syrus'.

Syrus brought his hands to rest right below Zane's.

They both smiled when they felt a kick come from Syrus' stomach.

You people are probably wondering why I started doing this. Well... it's because I had so many oneshots and I didn't want to make them all into diffrent stories so I thought... why not put them all into one story!

Anywho... reviews please!
