Power Couple 2

…Well that solved that issue she supposed.

A second later, Yarden came swaggering in as if he owned the place, like he always did, hands casually resting in his pockets, "Wassup bitches?" he greeted them all, completely ignoring their senior that he had just knocked out with a punch.

"Hey Yarden!" Jaden beamed and greeted with a big grin, waving over to the Scottish boy of the blues, "Dude you just missed me in this totally sweet duel!"

"Couldn't have been that sweet mate if it was against that simp," Yarden lifted a hand from his pocket and pointed over his shoulder with his thumb at the downed Harrington, "I already thrashed him and like forty other guys in a single turn at once."

"Oh, he was in that as well?" Jaden blinked in surprise before laughing, "Man, I wish I coulda seen that duel, it must have been crazy."

"If you blinked you'd have missed it, amazing as I am, it wasn't that exciting to watch mate," Yarden shrugged, "Besides, you could probably pull the same kind of thing without much issue, it wasn't hard."

"…Only Yarden can talk about being forty Obelisks at once in a single as if it isn't impressive at all," Syrus shook his head, "No wonder he's dating Alexis."

Yarden's head whipped around at his words, "Oh you found out about that?" he asked the shorter blue haired boy, before his eyes drifted to said girlfriend and raising an eyebrow at her.

After all, Alexis was the one who wanted to keep their relationship status under wraps for a little while before revealing it, to ease her friends into it since she knew Jasmine was totally into Yarden as well.

But what could she say? She was just tired of all the horny mutts trying to hump her legs all day long and she had a solution she couldn't resist the temptation of.

So in response, Alexis gave her boyfriend a sheepish smile and lame shrug as if to say, 'What can ya do?'

"Should you really be calling your girlfriend a bitch?" Mindy changed the subject and teased the boy.

"She knows what I'm about." Yarden winked at the black haired girl, swaggering his way over and throwing his arm around the blondes shoulder, and blatantly in front of them all pressing a quick kiss on her cheek.

Alexis rolled her eyes, but didn't pull from his embrace. It wasn't like he actually meant anything by it.

Jasmine visibly grit her teeth, before sighing and slumping a bit, "You sure do jump between girls quick, huh?" she couldn't help but snipe a bit.

Alexis winced a bit.

"Not really," Yarden shrugged, "I was pretty blatant in my interest in all three of you I think. Alexis was the one that responded first." he didn't sugar coat his response at all.

The response seemed to make Jasmine slump even lower, "…I suppose so." she nodded lightly.

And he was pretty straight forward and up front with his intentions. Jasmine really did have nobody to blame but herself on that front. If she wanted to, she could have been dating Yarden first.

Something roiled in her stomach at the thought. An odd feeling that she wasn't used to.

Alexis didn't like it.

"Oh poo, looks like we're gonna have to stop flirting all the time," Mindy pouted, trying to clear up the tense atmosphere, "That's too bad, it always makes class more interesting."

"Why?" Alexis asked her black haired friend.

Jasmine was the one that answered, "Because hello, he's your boyfriend now?"

"And I don't mind," Alexis shrugged, "I'm not gonna ruin you guys relationship just because I'm dating him now, that would be totally selfish."

Besides, Yarden did so much for her and was planning on doing so much for her as well. It would be kind of ungrateful and selfish of her if she did so and why she was okay with it.

"That doesn't make sense!" Jasmine spluttered, "I mean Lexi, you've always been super weird when it comes to dating scene, but this is taking the cake, we're talking about your boyfriend here, flirting with other girls while in a relationship with you!"

"Uh-hu, right there with her Lexi," Mindy nodded vigorously, "Make with the splainy, no girl wants her boyfriend flirting with other girls."

While all this was going on, Jaden was just looking between them all getting progressively more lost with each new sentence and Syrus was just staring in gobsmacked shock.

"And maybe you'd be right if it was just two random girls, but you guys are my best friends, and you clearly like him too," Alexis replied, "I'm not gonna cut you off from the way you guys interact just because I'm dating him now."

"But Lexi, we blatantly flirt all the time, Jazzy totally wants in those pants!" Mindy gestured wildly, "While I'm content with the flirting for fun, we all know what Jazzy wants and she can't do that with you dating him already."

"…And why can't she?" Alexis cocked her head to the side, "Like I said, as long as it's you guys I don't mind you guys doing it too."

"Because normal people want the one they like to themselves Lexi!" Jasmine finally exploded, eyes wide and angry. The auburn haired girl opened and closed her mouth a few times, looking for more words, before giving up and storming away.

"Saw that coming." Yarden winced, watching her go.

"Can you blame her?" Mindy asked dryly, "This is just weird after all, even for me."

"Not really," the Scottish boy shrugged, "To be honest, even I'm still wrapping my head around the fact Alexis is completely fine with me basically dating you two as well."

The boy looked back at Jasmine as she disappeared through the exit of the tennis courts and winced again, "I should go talk to her." he mused.

"Go for it," Alexis told him, "Maybe you can make her see reason." she knew was being weird about it all, she wasn't stupid at all and was at the top of her academic classes for a reason.

But she'd never placed much importance on dating or ever being with a boy until Yarden. It always seemed so odd to obsess over it as much as her friends did.

Now though. While the thought of Yarden and another girl did make that uncomfortable roiling feeling appear in her stomach, she realised that Jasmine must be feeling that, multiplied by a massive amount more since she didn't have Yarden to herself like she did.

It was jealousy after all. A novel concept for Alexis really, to feel jealous of a boy being with another girl.

And she didn't want her friend to feel like that as well. Jasmine and Mindy meant a lot to her, they met in Duel Prep School and practically grew up together, and they were a big reason she didn't go out of her mind with worry for her brother over the past year.

It was hard to describe it all really and put into words what she meant in it all. But, as long as it was Jasmine and Mindy, she was okay sharing Yarden with them. honestly, it almost felt weird not to. After all, since the school year started, they'd practically transitioned to a foursome and the four of them were near enough always hanging out together, in class or otherwise.

It was like a package deal, and Alexis was completely okay with that.

"Right," Yarden nodded and pressed a kiss against her cheek that left it tingling before pulling his arm free from around her shoulder, "I'll just go do that, it's pretty much my fault for being as amazing as I am." he nodded to himself and jogged after Jasmine.

He paused only to give the downed Harrington a kick on the rear as he passed by. Which he totally deserved.

"Lexi, we totally need to talk some more, c'mon," Mindy grabbed the blondes arm and dragged her away, pausing only to toss Syrus and Jaden a wave, "Sorry guys, looks like something really important has come up, we'll have to hang out later."

"Sure," Jaden agreed, looking completely lost, "Catch ya later." he waved after them.

"Do you think Yarden would take me on as an apprentice?" Alexis heard Syrus ask Jaden, hopefully.
