Thanks for the PM, Angel. To be honest, I'm not sure how long I want this to be. I kind of want to just get it over with and get to my other stories, but I also like working on this one. Basically, the differences between my stories are: Duelist Puberty has no pairing and is like a crackfic. I'm Not Good Enough For You revolves around the darkness in Jaden and Jesse's hearts. This story is about outside influences on their relationship. I just wanted to rant a little, sorry. I feel kind of overwhelmed with starting three different stories. I was so excited when I first got the ideas, then I ran out of ideas and got stuck with unfinished work that I can't leave because people would be mad. I like other pairings but I have no inspiration for writing them, so I probably won't. Seriously, I'm going on a long harangue! I bet you all just want to read the story, right?

Chapter 9

"Girls, teenage girls. They have mood swings and fits. Is it trouble? I most certainly think so!" The health class teacher, Mrs. Mitchell, was teaching a biased opinion, but who really cared?

What we're focusing on is a certain Obelisk Blue student in this class. He was currently getting hard, daydreaming about doing certain things to a certain Slifer Red student. Anyone guess who this is? Why, it's Jesse Anderson, of course!

"So, I'd like to point out that boys drool all over a girl when she flirts, and dumps her like yesterday's newspaper when she gets mood swings." Mrs. Mitchell was still droning on.

'Why can't this class be over soon? I'm getting very 'needy' at the moment and I still haven't talked to Jaden in days.' Answering his call, the bell rang. He stood up, got his things, and walked to Jaden's room.

(We're back with Jaden!)

The Slifer we were looking for was currently crying in his sleep. When he woke up, hearing a knock at the door, he, strangely, answered it. What shocked Jesse more was that Jaden had a look of pain on his face.

Jesse stepped inside and immediately embraced Jaden in a hug, the most contact he's had with anyone in months.

Jaden broke down and cried even more into Jesse's chest. He longed to feel comforted by his love and just kept sobbing. Jesse remained calm, occasionally whispering sweet words into his ear and rubbing soothing circles into his back.

"I'm sorry for avoiding you and everyone else for so long. I really do love you and I don't want you to ever leave me. Please promise me that you won't ever go." Jaden had to make sure that Jesse wouldn't leave him, before he told him that he wouldn't have intimate actions with him anymore. At least, not for now.

"Jaden, are you ready to tell me what wrong? I will never leave you; nothing you can say will make me love you any less."

"I still have nightmares and flashbacks of what Wyatt did to me. I can't bear going through that again. I hope you understand. I can't have sex with you anymore. Not for now, at least."

"Is that all? That's why my precious angel has been avoiding everyone and crying in his sleep? Don't worry; I'll always be here, to help you when you're hurt." Jesse smiled serenely and it made Jaden's features brighten up a bit too.

This moment made Jesse think, 'Would he be scared if I gave him a kiss, right now?'

A tad bit nervously, Jesse leaned in for a kiss, and smiled when Jaden didn't pull away. He managed to get as far as pushing him onto the bed, before he felt trembling beneath him.

"Jaden, what's wrong?" He looked down at the delicate figure below him.

"I can't-I can't do this. I can't go any further. Please get off now, Jesse." When Jesse tried to caress his cheek, he flinched away.

Jesse knew that Jaden wouldn't allow him to do any more, so he decided that he had to get Jaden to face his fears. He pushed further and forcefully kissed Jaden. He felt shaking but he couldn't stop. 'It's for the best. I need Jaden to go through with this so he'll learn to enjoy it again.'

With that thought in mind, Jesse pulled off their clothes and started to prepare Jaden.

"Please stop, Jesse! I'll do anything else you want, but I can't handle this! Please, please, don't hurt me!" Jaden had been reduced to begging his own boyfriend, but Jesse just couldn't stop. He needed Jaden to feel pleasure again.

"I need to show you how good this can feel. I'm sorry, but if you resist, I'll just have to keep going anyway." It pained Jesse to see him like this, but he wouldn't shove right in. He would be slow and easy. It would feel really good after a while.

Jaden was writhing and crying, adding to the sinking feeling in Jesse's conscience. After 5 minutes of this, Jaden gave up. He just lay there with a blank look in his eyes. He wasn't giving in to his pleasures, oh no. He was giving in to whatever Jesse wanted to do to him. In a way, you could say that he had been forced into submission yet again.

Jaden was no longer feeling anything. He wasn't thinking anything. The instinct to please the one dominating him kicked in and he did whatever made Jesse feel good.

At this change, Jesse thought that Jaden might have finally gotten over everything. How wrong he was!

Sure, Jaden wasn't afraid anymore, but then again, was he even Jaden anymore? No, he wasn't the same Jaden that we all love. He was empty, depressing, void of emotion. This person had taken over Jaden and destroyed all willpower left within him. Now, all that remained was a lifeless body. He moved, talked, gave Jesse great pleasure, and did whatever a person did. But, this was not Jaden.

No. He wasn't Jaden. Jaden was bright, cheerful, lively, energetic, hopeful, and innocent. He had all the good qualities of a friend, a family member, and an acquaintance. He was perfect. But, the Jaden we want is long gone now.

"Jaden, you're finally okay." Jesse breathed hard, his face flushed from the coursing pleasure.

Jaden didn't respond. Jesse gave him a deep kiss and Jaden returned it. This made Jesse smile, because, sadly, he still didn't know what had happened to Jaden. They continued into the night, when Jesse told him that they should be getting something to eat.

A nod and a shift on the bed. That's the only response he got. That's when he finally realized that this was, in fact, not Jaden. He noticed the color of his eyes, the submissive attitude, and the lack of speech.

Jesse Anderson had realized that Jaden was gone, maybe, for good this time.
