79 Power Couple 3

You know what the best thing about being a spirit powered badass was?

Being a fucking badass in general.

Granted, Yarden was of course already a badass originally, but now he was simply, a super badass.

Anyway, the point was. He was awesome, mentally, and physically. So honestly, even with Jasmine having a bit of a head start, it didn't take him longer than a few seconds to catch up thanks to his powerful Scottish spirit chad stride.

"Go away Yarden!" Jasmine glared over her shoulder at him, "I so am not in the mood to talk about this."

Eesh, he resisted the urge to to wince at the heartbroken glare.

"C'mon, we'll have to talk about this sooner or later." he pointed out.

"Later's fine with me," She huffed, "Or actually, how about never? Never is better!"

Ugh, drama. So not his forte, his one weakness. How did she know?

Rolling his eyes, Yarden sped up, getting ahead of the auburn haired girl and slammed his arm into the wall, blocking her off.

Jasmine stopped in her tracks, staring at his arm, before glaring at him again, "What part of I don't want to talk about this don't you understand?" she growled.

"Sorry, not sorry," Yarden rolled his eyes, "But c'mon seriously, you hear I'm dating Alexis now and you storm off like this, dramatic much?"

"Like you're one to talk about dramatic," Jasmine fired back, rolling her eyes, "You strut around like a peacock half the time."

"That's just my chad stride," Yarden corrected her with a huff, "Anyway, don't tell me you're gonna go off and sulk?"

Jasmine grit her teeth, "Are…are we seriously doing this right now?"

"Kinda…yeah," he shrugged, "I don't want you to go off all sad and mopey."

"God you're so full of yourself," Jasmine groaned, "And why don't you want me to do that? I'm kinda entitled to it ya' know."

"Cuz I don't want to see you like that?" he pointed out, "I've made it pretty upfront I'm into you and like you."

Jasmine's glare softened a bit before she sighed and slumped back against the wall, "So much for that, you decided to date one of my best friends." she replied.

"Hey, I pretty much asked you out before," he refuted, "You basically blew it off."

"That was just playful flirting, you didn't outright ask me out," Jasmine jabbed back, "If you asked me outright I would have said yes!"

"That's not all on me!" Yarden fired right back, "You already laid out the terms for the kinda guy you wanted, you kinda have to tell me when I pass the bar!"

"Oh please, by time you hit Obelisk you were already there and you know it!" Jasmine jutted her chin out at him defiantly.

"I was leaving it up to you." Yarden shrugged.

Jasmine sighed, the tension leaving her as she lay limply back against the wall, "Well I guess we both could have tried a little harder then," she admitted, "Not that it amounts to much, you're already dating Lexi."

"Yeah," he nodded, understanding, "Though…"

"No!" she caught on immediately where he was going and admonished him, "Lexi has always been really weird about dating, she never thought much of it at all until you and her common sense is completely skewed on it."

"…I mean, you're not wrong," Yarden definitely agreed with her, "But that the same time, it's not like polygamy is illegal or anything."

He should know, he well, didn't look it up, but he did come across the fact that it was pretty much legal across the world now.

Why?

Because of Seto Motherfucking Kaiba.

Apparently his little brother was involved with two girls, whom he later broke up with. But, at the time, he was apparently 'madly' in 'love' with them and couldn't decide how to pick one or the other.

And Kaiba being Kaiba, decided fuck all the laws, his precious little brother could do anything he bloody well wanted.

And tossed enough money at the problem to make it go away, or beat it into submission. Honestly, Yarden was just surprised Kaiba didn't just challenge the literal multiple united nations around the world to a duel.

Fucking Kaiba, man. If there was anyone to look to, to see how skewed the common sense in this world was compared to his own, Kaiba was definitely the leading man.

'Screw the rules, I have money.'

That was literally the definition of Seto Fucking Kaiba. He did whatever the hell he wanted, because he could. He changed the world to one that fit his own desires, and ran rampant over it as he pleased.

…Granted, not that Yarden could honestly say it went bad. This world, was literally better off than his own one because of Kaiba and making it revolve around a card game.

Places that were at war for decades where he was from, were not here, simply because Kaiba forced them to adapt to card games.

While the world wasn't perfect, far from it, it was a hell a lot closer to a golden age than the one he came from.

And that was just fucking absurd. Because one super autistic rich teenager decided, card games were the fucking best and wanted to prove he was the best at said card game.

It was crazy, but it was fucking impressive. Kaiba was a true blue chad and Yarden admired the man greatly.

If there was anyone in the world he aspired to be like, it was Seto Fucking Kaiba.
