Author's notes: Hey, here's chapter 2, finally. I actually have a few really good ideas about this story, so I hope this is will last longer then my other ones. Well, since I am now officially obsessed with Jesse/Jaden.
Disclaimer: I realize that I didn't do a disclaimer in the beginning, but I'm doing it now. I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh Gx.
Warnings: slight ooc, some yaoi, & 4 'unwelcomed' guests from season 2 make their debut.
Jim and Hassleberry returned to where they left Jaden, Alexis, and Syrus. Jaden looked up and froze in fear at the sight of Jesse. He was unconscious, lying in Hassleberry's arms (bridal-style). Jaden jumped up, ignoring that he was still tired from his previous duel, and hurried to Jesse's side. "What happened to Jesse?" he demanded. Hassleberry and Jim gave each other sideways looks.
"He was hurt," Jim answered, slowly. Jaden glanced down at Jesse's unconscious body. His clothes were slightly torn and his face was slightly red. Jaden also noticed that there were tear-stained and several handprints. He glared up at the two of them.
"He doesn't look hurt from a duel," Jaden said, suspiciously. "Someone had hurt him physically. And I want to know who and why," he said, angrily. Someone had hurt his Jesse and they were going to pay for it. But first, they had to get Jesse to the infirmary and call off the search for Viper, until Jesse was in better shape. "We've got to get Jesse to the infirmary."
"But Jay…what about Viper?" Syrus asked.
"Forget about Viper. Jesse needs help ASAP," Jaden ordered.
J&J
Jesse woke up in complete darkness. His lower body starting hurting and he cried out in pain. "Jess, you alright?" Jaden asked. Jesse sat up and looked around. He was in Jaden's dorm room Jaden was sitting in the chair beside his bed.
"I'm fine…" Jesse started.
"Liar. Jess, what happened when you followed the Trapper?" Jesse froze and started to tremble.
"Please don't tell anyone," Jesse pleaded.
"I promise. But whatever happened, I'm pretty sure that Jim and Hassleberry know about it," promised Jaden.
"I…I was raped…"
"WHAT?" Jaden yelled, making Jesse wince. "Why didn't you send help with your spirits?" he demanded.
"He threatened me, okay? It would have been a lot worse," said Jesse.
Jaden sighed. He got up and sat on the bed. Jesse scooted up, so that Jaden could sit behind him. Jaden granted his wish and sat behind him. He spread his legs a bit; Jesse scooted back and leaned against Jaden's chest. Jesse immediately felt safe and warm in his crush's arms. Jesse frowned. Jaden, his crush? They should be something more. Jesse knew that they only met a few weeks ago, but it was like love at first sight.
Jesse closed his eyes for a second to muster his courage. He took a deep breath and turned around. Jaden noticed the small fear in Jesse's eyes, but he could tell there was love for him in his emerald green eyes as well. He knew exactly what the turquoise-haired duelist wanted. Jaden leaned in and gently kissed Jesse on his soft lips, as to not scare him. Jesse was startled a bit, but didn't break apart. In fact, he took it a bit further, by poking his tongue to Jaden's lips. Jaden granted him to enter and Jesse happily obliged. The two boys explored each other mouths, battling slightly for dominance. Jaden won in the end. Jesse felt himself being pushed down gently on the bed and panic started to wash over him. The turquoise haired duelist panicked, forgetting that it was only Jaden, started to toss and turn, fear overpowering him.
"Stop! Let go of me!" Jesse cried, with crystal tears starting to form in his emerald green eyes. Jaden, surprised but understanding of his sudden reaction, immediately backed off.
"Jesse, it's okay, it's only me, Jaden," Jaden replied softly. Jesse stopped, but was still trembling with fear.
"…I'm sorry, Jay." Jaden gave him a serious look.
"Don't be, you've got a good reason to be afraid right now. You've experienced being raped and it could take awhile for you to get over that harsh reality," Jaden explained, a little too serious for Jesse's liking.
"How did you learn all this?" Jaden shrugged.
"I don't really know. Natural instinct, I guess." Jesse gave a small smile.
"Jaden, there's something I want to know," Jesse said, carefully.
"I'm listening."
"What are we? I mean, what is our relationship?" the turquoise-haired duelist asked softly. Jaden thought carefully.
"We're best friends, Jesse…" Jaden frowned as he saw Jesse's face fall with slight disappointment.
"So that's it, then? Just friends?" Jesse snapped, rather testily, shocking the brunette. "Look, I know I was raped by that trapper, and I'm still slightly traumatized by that; but I thought even after that little kiss would mean something to me, but clearly it doesn't mean anything to you!" by now Jesse was yelling. Jaden was getting a little scared.
"Jesse, calm-." Jesse jumped off the bed.
"No, I will not calm down! You know what? I've had enough! Just leave me the fuck alone!" Jesse yelled. He hurried to the door, but paused only to slip on his shoes, then ran out of the room, while slamming the door with a full force.
Jesse was running to his own room in the Obelisk dorm, or at least he thought was going. With tears filling up and making his eyes sting, he was heading towards the woods instead. When he came to a clearing, he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath and he felt emotionally hurt by Jaden. Ruby Carbuncle appeared on his shoulder. 'You alright, master?' (1)
"Hey sweetie. No, I'm not okay. You know I had a crush on Jaden, right? Well, he kissed me, and I was startled, but then I started to kiss him back. After our kiss, I had to ask him about our relationship. You know, what it meant. He said that we were best friends…but that somehow made me angry, cause I thought we could be more. So I yelled at him and then left the room," Jesse explained. Ruby looked at him understandingly, but to her concern, her master's face changed to a pained look.
"You know, come to think of it, I think Jaden wanted to say something else, but I interrupted him, and ran out on him." With that thought in mind, Jesse stood up, turned, but then froze. There, in front of him, were four tough-looking boys a little older then him, looking at Jesse with a look of a predator that had just cornered its prey. The boys slowly surrounded Jesse. Jesse swallowed in fear. Shit, he was trapped. He had no idea what the boys' intentions were, but he knew the outcome wasn't going to be good for him.
"Where do you think you're off too in such a hurry? You're not going anywhere, pretty boy," the leader of the boys, threatened.
"Careful Frost, the boss doesn't want his prize hurt in anyway. That's his job, you could get into serious trouble." Frost smirked.
"I wasn't planning on hurting him, but that doesn't mean I can't have some fun with him."
Surprised you didn't I? I think they're the perfect bullies. Can you guess who the other three are?
1. I know Ruby doesn't talk, but she does in my story.
Author's warning: The next few chapters are going to be very hard on Jesse and Jaden.
