Save Me…Chapter 1: Caring Confessions
Chumley and Syrus sat across from each other in the three somes dorm room with their cards lying across the table. Syrus had a tea filled cup while Chumley surprisingly had no food what so ever.
"Sy, how can you go so long with out eating any thing?" Chumley asked, rubbing his stomach, which gave a loud growl.
"I manage." Was the only reply given by the small boy.
"Well, I'm going to the school cafeteria for some thing to eat. Wanna come?" Chumley asked, getting up and heading to the door. "No thanks, I think I'll just wait for Jaden. I'll let him know where you are if he wants to join you." Syurs said darkly, staring at his cup.
"O.K. thanks. See you later Sy." Chumley said, leaving and closing the door in his wake.
Jaden had gone out earlier that afternoon to get some food because they had run out in their dorm room. Sy had offered to come, but Jaden also said he wouldn't mind some time alone to think.
Syrus had reluctantly agreed and stayed behind with Chumley instead.
Syrus stood and took his cards and put them in his deck box underneath his pillow.
He then took his cup and brought it to the sink to wash it later when he noticed the knife that he had used to cut some bread for lunch a few days ago.
It was very sharp and new, glinting in the evening sun as the room grew dim with the dying light.
Picking it up, Syrus walked over and sat down on the floor in front of the bottom of the triple bunk beds: Jaden's.
Resting his back against the side of the bed, the small boy examined the knife, bringing it in and out of the last rays of sunlight.
He started thinking, about how every one told him - when he wasn't in duel academy and even now – how awful a duellist he was. His older brother always saying he wasn't good enough; being beaten up and pushed around that seemed like an eternity to him.
But through all Syrus had been through, Jaden seemed to bring light to him, telling him everything opposite of what others had said. Sy didn't want Jaden to worry about him so much; he knew that Jaden would do a lot to make surehe was alright… And Sy also knew he would bring Jaden down if he kept worrying about the blue-haired boy.
He couldn't let that happen.
'S': The knife had been moved to Sy's left arm and the sleeve was rolled up to the crook of his elbow.
The blood ran in thin lines down his arm, making it's way to the floor where it sank into the carpeting like a raindrop into a pond…
'A': Every one hated him; it would make no difference in the world…
'V': His brother; always saying how awful the younger boy was, not being able to treat a card the way it should be used…
'E': As long as this was what it would take to be sure Jaden would be alright and no longer need to worry about him, they could both be alright…
Pausing, Syrus looked at his arm, the beautiful flowing blood running down his arm like a river of crimson gore, silent and filled with sorrow.
'M': Jaden was only a best friend, but Sy knew that Jaden cared a lot about him. Jaden didn't love Syrus the way that the bluenette did: more than a best friend and closer than family.
'E': Now they could both stop hurting…
Syrus from his life and low-confidence;
Jaden from having to worry about him…
"Sy! Chumley! I'm back!" The cheerful voice of Jaden Yuki filled the dorm room as the door opened and the cool evening air flew in.
Syrus smiled weakly, still feeling the blood run down his limp arm, the letters standing out as though wanting to have more attention, advertising the sorrow filled boy the letters were drawn on.
Jaden looked around the room, searching for either of his friends…
The bag full of fresh food was dropped to the floor, smashing anything inside.
"Syrus…….."
Jaden stood, staring at his best friend in shock of what he saw:
Lying on the floor, the carpet stained in the blood of blue haired boy. What Jaden noticed most was the writing on his friends arm: 'Save me'.
The blood ran down the thin arms, across the pale skin in new streaks, never stopping…
'Syrus…why did you do this?" Jaden whispered, taking a step back.
Sy smiled, and whispered in a small, almost happy voice, "So we could stop hurting…I don't want you to worry about me anymore…"
Jaden ran over to Syrus and with an unknown strength ripped off the sleeve of his left arm, wrapping it gently around Sy's left arm.
"No, Jaden…let me go. It will be better this way, for both of us…" Syrus gasped, tears streaming down his pale cheeks.
Jaden, still wrapping up the arm, had tears in his eyes, threatening to fall down and soak the red Slifer jacket.
"Syrus, I will never let you do this to yourself. I…I don't know what I'd do without you." Jaden said, tears finally making their way down the Slifer's cheeks, unstoppable like a great army of sorrow.
'But … why? I'm alone, and you're the only one who would care about me anyway…" Syrus said, looking away as Jaden, face contorted in fear and sadness looked at his best friend, whom he considered more…
"Why can't I be enough, Syrus? Why!" Jaden yelled, leaning forward to Sy's face.
"Why is it that you'd do this? I care about you, and you go and do this.
"Why do you think I wanted to go out alone today, because I needed to think, just think about my feelings..."
Syrus couldn't bring himself to look at the taller boy, staring at the knife held in his right hand.
"I don't… I don't want you to worry about me. I know that, if you do care about me so much, that you would put yourself in danger because of me… I could never live with myself." Syrus cried in a whisper, never looking at the brunette.
A soft hand reached over and took Sy's chin and brought it to face then other boy.
"Syrus…I would do that and more for you… So why won't you let me…?" "Because I don't want you getting hurt Jaden!" Syrus screamed, pulling his face away, but the hand stayed, making the bluenette face the other.
"Well, I'm afraid I can't promise I won't, but what wouldn't some one do. If they were in love…" Jaden trailed off, smiling at the other boy with a caring kindness.
"Wh…what?"The bluenettestammered, now looking at Jaden. "That's why I needed to be alone, just to think and discover how much I care about you...and you, well, this is a perfect example…you would do this so I wouldn't get hurt, and I would too, but only if I hadn't known that you loved me as well…" Jaden whispered, leaning in slightly.
"Jaden…I, I didn't know… but, oh Jaden…" Syrus cried, leaning closer and pressing their lips together in a caring kiss.
At first, the taller boy was surprised, but relaxed from the other's actions and wrapped his arms gently around Sy's neck.
Breaking, Jaden pulled Sy closer to him, so their bodies were against each other's.
"Syrus, I will never leave you, and I won't ever let you do this… ever…" Jaden cried, hugging the boy closer.
"Jaden… I won't, as long as you are here with me…" Syrus said, leaning back to face Jaden, closing the space into another kiss.
Sy cupped Jaden's jaw, pulling the other closer, never wanting to stop.
The doorknob turned slightly, and the two stopped at once, yet were still extremely close.
"That'd be Chumley." Syrus said, smiling, before becoming limp.
The knife was dropped, and Sy fell into Jaden's arms, unconscious from blood loss.
"Sy, I'm back! Is Jaden…?" Chumley stopped and looked down at an unconscious Sy in Jaden's arms.
"Jaden, what happened?" Chumley asked, staring wide eyed at his friends.
"I'll explain on the way. We need to get Syrus to a hospital." Jaden said, collectingthe limp formin his arms and carrying theboy out of the dorm room into the dark night.
