Elsewhere JayJay sits by himself, lost in his thoughts. He barely notices the other students in the distance as he thinks back on his life and about how it could have been had he stayed with his mother. His finger gently runs along the scar on his wrist, not one from himself but one that was caused by a duel disk short serceting in the middle of a duel.

Jamie sits down next to him, "Hey you okay JayJay?"

"Hm? Oh yeah just thinking is all" JayJay says and tries to smile."Just kinda zoned out is all. Nothing to worry about"

"Alright know that you can talk to me about anything okay?"

"I know" JayJay says and leans on him "But im fine really. I was actually just working on my deck for tomorrow, you know coming up with stratagies and such but my thoughts kinda started to wonder after a bit"

"Yeah that should be interesting, the duels tomorrow I mean, I just hope I don't have to end up dueling you or Sammy that would suck."

"That it would."JayJay says and smiles slightly "Though I'm sure it'll happen eventually"

"Yeah probably will, it'll just suck when it does."

JayJay nods "We'll make the best of it though. I mean it's not like itd be the first time we dueled"

"You have a point there I just don't really like dueling you and Sammy."

"Yeah I don't really either but as far as you and I dueling theres not much avoiding it when you finally deside your ready to get your fathers deck back" JayJay says.

Ruby then appears and hops on Jamie's shoulder before he mews.

Jamie smiles at the cat, "I'm not getting that deck back until I'm sure I can win to get it."

"But you won't know if you can win if you don't ever try" JayJay says

Ruby nods in agreement.

"I plan on dueling you some day just not yet I'm not ready."

"I'd have to disagree. I think your more than ready. You just gotta belive that you are"

"I don't think that I am ready to duel you, I mean you're the best dueler I've ever seen besides Yugi, Kaiba, and Jaden themselves."

"Nah no way. I bet with your father deck you could duel circles around me no problem. Nah scratch that you could duel circles around me with your current deck"

Kiri appwars next to JayJay looking doubtful of that statement before disappearing again.

"Oh please I could not win with my current deck against you, we might be able to tie if I had dads deck but you got it won with my current one."

"If you keep thinking like that ofcorse im going to win. Spirits can feel your doubt you know" JayJay says.

"I'm just being honest with myself here I mean have you seen yourself duel?"

"Your only as strong as you believe you are." JayJay says and sighs.

"If you say so JayJay."

"I know so. My faith in my cards and myself is what makes me strong. Same as it did for my dad"

"I have faith in myself and my cards there are just certain people that I don't have faith that I could beat."

"And that doubt is why you can't. It's got nothing to do with skill. Any doubts cloud you mind. Look at dad. He went against guys that most people would turn tain and run from but never once did he believe he'd lose. That's why I'll always have faith in my deck. They'll never let me down."

"I guess you're right on that fact it's just not easy to have faith sometimes."

"I guess I can understand that" JayJay says

"Yeah, hey I didn't want to call it out or anything but earlier after the duels when Sammy and Baron were talking I noticed that Tyler was blushing around Baron. Does Tyler have a thing for Baron or something?"

"Hm? How am I to know? Not like Tyler tells me that sort of thing?" JayJay says not wanting to out his adobtive brother more out of the fact they were sitting in a place where everyone could overhear them.

"Well you're usually in tune with other peoples feelings so I just kind of figured you knew."

JayJay shrugs "But having a feeling and knowing for sure are two different things"

"Yeah I guess you're right he just seemed a little shy around him but maybe I'm wrong."

"Maybe, Maybe not. Only way to know for sure is to talk to him"

"I doubt he'd tell me we're not exactly close friends."

"Well no but he wouldnt tell me either" JayJay says "We may have grown up together but we were never that close"

"From what I'm betting the only person he's told is Luke."

"Probably. Sure seems that way"

"I'm sure we'll find out soon enough Baron can't stay oblivious to the shyness forever."

"Oh I don't know about that. This is Baron we're talking about. He's oblivious to everything until someone tells him straight forward. And sometimes not even thats enough."

"Baron is oblivious to the world if he doesn't notice how shy Tyler is around him it's super obvious."

"Well yeah but Barons always been oblivious to everything and it's worse when it comes to people."

"I'm sure he'll find out eventually."

"Maybe" JayJay says.

"Yeah."

"Aw well. Baron's just being himself so I'm sure some miracle will work itself out to get him to notice, eventually."

"Yeah probably will work itself out eventually. " Jamie says.

"No doubt. Always does" JayJay says and looks around to see it was getting late "Oh hey lets go get some food. Im starving"

"Alright." Jamie says getting up holding out his hand to JayJay.

JayJay takes his hand and stands before heading towards the cafeteria.

Jamie follows him to the cafeteria and pulls out a chair for his boyfriend.

JayJay smiles and kisses his cheek before taking his seat "Thank you"

Jamie smiles and sits down at the table. "No problem."

Not long after they are severed then JayJay starts to eat.

Jamie starts to eat his food smiling at his boyfriend.

JayJay finishes his food and lays his head on the table "Thats much better. It's always nice to have a full stomache" He says and looks at Jamie with a smile.

Jamie smiles brightly, "Yeah I have to agree having a full stomache is always good."

JayJay nods then yawns softly "Yeah only down side is that I'm now tired."

"I'm sure we could go lay down in your room for awhile without getting yelled at."

"You sure? I mean we don't have to do that." JayJay says.

"Yeah it's fine babe."

JayJay nods and stands "Alright"

Jamie nods and stands with him following him to his room.

JayJay unlocks the door and holds it open for him.

Jamie smiles and goes into the door "Thank you."

"Your welcome" JayJays says and follows him in and closes the door before laying down on his bed. He lays there a moment before moving over so Jamie could lay with him.

Jamie curls into JayJay.

JayJay holds him close and closes his eyes "This is nice"

Jamie smiles and lays there with JayJay.

JayJay slowly falls into a light sleep, snoring softly.
