One Day at the Library


Back

The Dark Kingdom library was empty. Jadeite was glad because he liked to be alone when reading.
He picked a volume from the shelf and took a seat.
He was deeply submerged in his book when he heard footsteps.
"Just great," he thought, annoyed. "Company..."

Jadeite went back to his book, grimacing. That's when he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Jadeite!" The voice called out loudly. "You in here?"

"Great," the blonde haired general thought. "It's Nephrite."

Nephrite came in carrying a small plastic bag. "Hey, Jadeite, I wanted to-"

The blonde ignored him.

Nephrite laughed and tapped his shoulder. "C'mon, Jeddy-Jed-Chan! I wanted to show you what I bought at the store."

Jadeite looked up from his book, his eyes narrowed. "Jeddy-Jed-Chan? What the hell..."

"It's your new pet name!" Nephrite beamed. "Cute huh?"

"No, it's not cute," Jadeite answered. "It's ridiculess. Now go bother someone else. Can't you see that I'm busy here?"

Nephrite yanked the book from the blonde's hands and put it under his arm. "Read it later," he said, grinning. "Right now I have something to show you."

"Give me back my book, Nephrite. I wasn't finished with it."

Nephrite shook his head. "Not until you see what I bought!"

"Fine...," Jadeite said tiredly. "And stop shouting. This is a library you know."

Nephrite grinned as he rifled through the little bag. He brought out a small tube and handed it to Jadeite, still grinning.

The blonde haired general turned the tube over in his hand. Then he spoke, eyes still narrowed. "K Y Jelly?"

Nephrite nodded.

Is this some sort of joke?" Jadeite asked, irritated.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with this?"

"Oh, I'm the one who's going to be using it on you, Jed," Nephrite answered.

Jadeite got up from his chair, throwing the tube onto the table. "You've got to be kidding. You actually think that I'd let you?"

The auburn haired general leaned closer. "You got it babe," he answered in a soft and seductive voice.

Jadeite grumbled and turned to leave. Nephrite caught his arm.

"Let me go, Nephrite!"

"No, I'm not done yet. I bought something else too. And don't shout, Jadeite. This is a library after all."

Jadeite growled and clenched his fists. He was very angry now.
"Just show me so I can be rid of you already."

The auburn haired general smiled and took a small box out of his bag and handed it to the angry blonde.

Jadeite looked at it and scowled. "Condoms?"

"Safety first!" Nephrite beamed proudly. "You can't be too carefull these days. No offense Jed, but I've seen the youma that you associate with and some of them look rather loose."

"Like you should talk...," Jadeite thought before speaking. "Ok, enough is enough. Who put you up to this? Tetis? Is she hiding in the hallway laughing at me now?"

Nephrite shook his head. "No, no. I wasn't put up to anything. You misunderstand. I've seen the way you eye me Jeddy, I know that you want me."

"Oh, please!" Jadeite shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the library's once golden silence. "You have got to be kidding!"
"Shhh..., This is a library...," the auburn haired general whispered, grinning.

Jadeite slammed his fist down on the table. "I don't care anymore! Just give me my book back and go away!"

"Not until you say yes."

Jadeite blinked. "Say yes to what?"

Nephrite smiled sweetly. "Say yes to an evening with me of course."

"Absolutely not!"

"You know you want me," Nephrite said.

"Since when are you into this sort of thing anyway?" Jadeite asked. "And what makes you think that I'm into it?"

"Well," Nephrite began. "I like to experiment. And judging by the looks that you flash me when you think I'm not noticing, I figured that maybe you wanted to experiment as well."

The blonde crossed his arms. "Well I don't! And I don't look at you that way! Ever!"

"Yes you do...," the auburn haired man answered. "And I'm not the only one who's noticed, either. But don't worry, this would be between us."

"There isn't going to be anything between us you freak!" Jadeite shouted, quickly grabbing his book out oh his tormentor's hands.

Nephrite laughed softly. "You know, Jed, you're cute when your angry. I could really get into this... How about a kiss?"

Jadeite was infuriated. "Fine! If you won't leave then I will!"
He then threw the box of condoms down on the table and stomped off back to his room, grinding his teeth and muttering obscenities the whole way.

When the blonde was in his room and safely away from Nephrite he ran water for a bath and stepped into the tub. He really needed to relax.

"The nerve of that bastard...," Jadeite mumbled, closing his eyes. "How dare he..."

Within minutes Jadeite had dozed off. When he awoke the once hot water was lukewarm. He hated that.

He got out of the tub and put on his robe. While exiting the bathroom he noticed that the reading lamp by his bed was turned on.

"That's funny...," he said, puzzled. "I don't remember turning that light on..."

The lamp was on a bedstand that he had placed his library book on. And now, on top of the book there was a note along with the tube of K Y and the box of condoms.

Jadeite clenched his fists as he grabbed the note. "Why won't that freak leave me alone! How dare he come in here without an invitation!"

He then unfolded the paper and scowled. There was a chibi style drawing of Nephrite with a big smile at the top. He shook his head, annoyed, as he read the note.

"If you ever change your mind Jeddy-Jed-Chan, you know where to find me. I'll be waiting. See you around!"

Jadeite crumpled the note and threw it in the wastepaper basket. "Moron...," he mumbled under his breath.
He then looked once again at the items left on his bedstand. He picked them up and was about to throw them away as well when he stopped suddenly.
He looked them over for a moment and put them into the bedstand's drawer.

"On second thought... They might come in handy sometime. No need to waste them right?" Jadeite asked himself as he picked up his book and sat down on the bed.
"Heheh... You never know when you might need them."

Jadeite sat back and sighed. "Nephrite is kind of sexy when he's getting on my nerves," he thought as he opened the book and began to relax, getting lost in the story once again.
