You're Okay {Jurassicshipping} | Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Oneshot
âStop being a wuss! Itâs just a horror film!â
âI donât wanna watch it!â
âRelax, Sy, itâs probably just a really crappily made horror film.â
âNo itâs not! Slasher Movie 10 is a classic!â
Movie night in the Slifer Red Dorms had never been so chaotic. It was Chazzâs turn to pick a movie to watch, and naturally, he chose one of his favorites that he wanted everyone to watch â Slasher Movie 10, the best and most horrific one in the entire franchise. Everyone had agreed to it⊠well⊠except one person.Â
âGuys! Canât I just go into a different room or somethingâŠ?â mumbled Syrus, tense in all shapes of the word as he shifted uncomfortably on Chazzâs couch. His cheeks flared from embarrassment as all eyes laid on him.Â
âNo wussing out! Last week, we all had to sit and watch your Pretty Little Pegasus and Dark Magician Girl movie!â Chazz huffed out with his arms crossed, âand that was garbage!â
âN-No it wasnât! Your taste in movies is bad!â Syrus fired back. He crossed his arms and huffed out, turning his head to the side. Jaden was sitting on his right, looking down at Syrus with a big grin on his face.Â
âCâmon, Sy! Itâs true, and itâs just a movie, after all, it canât hurt you,â Jaden tried to convince Syrus to stay â it wouldnât be the same if he left. Syrus felt all eyes on him, and he frowned a bit, feeling tense.Â
âSy donât gotta watch the movie if he donât wanna,â Hassleberry chipped in. He was sitting on Syrusâ right, glancing down at the Syrusâ trembling figure. The trembling was barely noticeable but⊠couldnât exactly escape the perspective eyesight of someone with dinosaur DNA coursing through his veins.Â
âWe made an agreement that we all have to sit together and watch a movie every Saturday, together!â Jaden whined, âit wouldnât be the same without Sy!â Alexis, Bastion, Jim, Jesse, Aster, Atticus, and even Axel nodded in agreement. It was true â the friend group had come to an agreement that each Saturday, someone would pick a movie to watch, and everyone would have to watch it. It was a stupid rule, but at the time, it didnât seem like a bad idea. The movie nights were meant for everyone to have fun and hang out together, but that included everyone or else it wouldnât be the same. Shoulders slumping, Syrus admitted to defeat. He was just gonna have to sit there and endure the horrific movie.Â
âFineâŠâ the light haired boy replied. Could he get anymore down on his luck than he already was? The group started to disperse only briefly, grabbing out snacks that were saved up for the movie night, along with blankets, pillows, and other necessities for the perfect movie night. For a few minutes, it was just Hassleberry and Syrus lingering on the couch within the room. The short boy sat with his hands clutching tightly to his pajama pants, trying to not to tremble. How bad could a movie titled âSlasher Movie 10â be? It was probably just going to be a cheesy horror flick, knowing Chazz. It shouldnât be something to worry about. Syrus could handle it, for sure!
âPrivate, you sure about this?â Hassleberryâs voice broke the silence, âthere ainât any shame in backing out.âÂ
âIâm sure⊠everyoneâll be bummed out if I donât stay,â Syrus pursued his lips, âit canât be that scary, right? I mean, itâs Chazz weâre talking about here. I doubt heâd pick something genuinely scary. Itâll probably just be one of those cheesy horror flicks! Iâm not worried.â Syrus lied through his teeth though, his hands shaking. Even cheesy horror flicks could be scary⊠well, at least for Syrus. Hassleberryâs eyes softened a bit, and worry clutched at his chest. Movies were meant to be fun, and Hassleberry didnât fancy that Syrus wouldnât be having any fun here. His cheeks flared a little bit and he cleared his throat
âIf ya get scared, you can hold onto me,â Hassleberry murmured out quietly, but just loud enough for Syrus to hear. The short boyâs eyes widened and his face flushed redder than the Slifer Red uniforms.Â
âW-What? D-Donât be ridiculous! I-I donât need thatâ!â Syrus shook his head. Hassleberry flinched a bit, but he didnât take it to heart. Syrus probably didnât mean it in an odd way, but maybe he shouldnât have offered. After all, it was considered a âgirlâ thing to be all cuddly with one another, especially watching scary movies together. It shouldnât have been, but maybe Syrusâ family taught him it was. Before Hassleberry got a chance to reply, the others arrived back into the living room. Chazz turned off the lights, and now the only light came from the large television screen.Â
âIâve got blankets and pillows,â Jim pointed out, âonly a few, though.â Jim began passing out the blankets and pillows to everyone until there was one large pillow and blanket left. He handed that off to Hassleberry and Syrus. âSorry fellas, youâll probably have to share this one or fight over it.âÂ
âNo problem. Thank you, soldier,â the black haired boy nodded, before adjusting the pillow behind him and Syrusâ heads, making sure it fit them both. He then tossed the blanket over both of them, and got a bit closer to Syrus. He was pleased that Syrus didnât move away â it was easy to read Truesdaleâs expressions and body language. He wasnât shaking as much as he was before, and he looked a bit flustered, but not uncomfortable. Hassleberry knew the jokes his friends would make about him, about how he would sometimes ânot be so brightâ, but he was a lot more observant than they thought. âSy, you mind? The blanketâs big, but yâknow.â
âD-Donât mind,â Syrus shook his head and cleared his throat a bit.Â
âAlright, dorks, Iâm gonna start the movie,â Chazz went over and put the movie on, sitting down as Alexis handed out snacks to everyone. Soon though, everyone was in their respective seats that they wanted to be in. Hassbelerry, Syrus, Jaden, and Jesse took up the long couch, while Jim and Alexis were cuddled up on one of the smaller couches. Jesse and Jaden the same while the others were spread out. The movie started, and Syrus shifted a little. How scary could this movie really be? He inhaled and exhaled, adjusting his glasses. This movie couldnât be that bad! Syrus convinced himself it was nothing to worry about, that he had no valid reason to be worried. It was just a movie, he told himself. Thatâs what Jaden said originally. It was just a movie and it couldnât hurt Syrus. Most movies were fictional⊠but some were based on true events⊠was this movie one of those? It couldnât be! Not with a name like âSlasher Movie 10â... no way. The more he over-thought it, the more he could feel his chest bubbling. Something didnât feel right. Biting his bottom lip, Syrus watched as the movie played on. It started as just another creepy story â a doll made of pure porcelain was found in the attic of a family that just moved in. It couldnât get any more scarier than that, even if the plotline was used quite often.Â
âHow you doinâ, private?â Hassleberry whispered â luckily for him, Chazz had made the movieâs sound so loud that any quiet conversations would be unheard by everyone else.
âFineâŠâ Syrus murmured quietly. He didnât feel fine. The doll was creepy looking, and the story behind the doll was horrific.Â
âCanât lie to me, Sy,â Hassleberry spoke quietly, glancing down at the short boy, whoâs figure started to tremble again. It wasnât unlikely that the others would tease and make fun of Hassleberry and Syrus if the pair got cuddly â sure, Jaden and Jesse were a thing and stuff⊠but Hassleberry hadnât come to terms with the fact heâd have to tell Syrus how he felt about him. That wasnât fun. Hassleberry never had a thing for guys until he met Syrus. He always liked girls, even before heâd come to terms with the fact he wasnât a boy at birth. Syrus had changed a lot for him, and sure, the two had it rough at first, fighting over who was Jadenâs best friend. That was ridiculous now, though, and his eyes softened a bit. He shouldnât have been afraid, though, because Syrus looked like he could use some comfort. The others meant no harm, but Hassleberry could see that this was a bad idea to force Syrus to watch a horror film. Should he do something? He wasnât sure what to do exactly. Hassleberry didnât want to touch Syrus affectionately without his permission.Â
⊠And there came a jumpscare. The silly protagonistâs husband had tried to get rid of the cursed doll for a decent portion of the movie, not enough to be boring, but enough to build a haunting atmosphere that increased in each minute of the film. The husband had gone to sleep for the night⊠only to toss and turn, and open his eyes. Everything seemed fine, until he sat up, and the doll jumped from the ceiling, ultimately killing the man with a slashing blade. Syrus jumped a bit, and before Hassleberry had a chance to react, Syrus was clinging onto him. Meek arms wrapped around Hassleberryâs muscular and bigger figure, and he was left speechless, seeing Syrus sink under the blanket with his head against the dino duelistâs chest. Hassleberryâs face flushed and he felt his chest tighten, trying not to freak out from the amount of emotion he was feeling right now. The guy he had a thing for, the guy who changed his whole world⊠and Syrus was cuddling him. It made him feel happy, but he tried not to get too excited â Syrus probably was just seeking comfort, so he jumped to someone who could give him that.Â
If that was the case, why didnât Syrus jump to Jaden â someone heâd known for much longer than Hassleberry?
It was that thought that changed his mindâs process. If Syrus just jumped to someone for comfort, he wouldâve jumped to Jaden. They had known each other since first entering Duel Academy, so it made sense that Jaden wouldâve been the one Syrus clung to, but he didnât.Â
âH-Hassleberry⊠I-Iâm scaredâŠâ it was quiet, but the dino duelist heard it loud and clear, even over the loud volume of the movie. Hassleberryâs chest tightened in his ribcage and he tensed up. Underneath the blanket, he hooked an arm around Syrusâ small figure, holding him close. He could feel just how scared Syrus was in his hold, biting his bottom lip a little bit. Damn. He wished the others hadnât sort of forced Syrus to do something he didnât want to do. The poor thing would probably be traumatized for life now because of this movie â heâd ever be able to look at a doll the same.Â
âOh, you guys are watching Slasher Movie 10? Dude, that movie is like, garbage,â Chazz paused the movie when he heard Asterâs voice, and the gray haired boy entered into the dorm room, hands on his hips. âGot any room for me? Pro dueling has been stressing me out, I need a good thing to laugh at.âÂ
âGarbage?! Shut your mouth, Phoenix! This is a classic!â Chazz exclaimed. Even the bickering wasnât enough to ease Syrusâ nerves. The short man still clung desperately to Hassleberry, his head only briefly peeking out from underneath the blanket. Aster walked to one of the couches before getting comfortable himself.Â
âWhat part are we up to?â Aster asked.Â
âThe part where the doll kills the husband and starts using him as a possessed toy to spook the other members of his family,â Jaden stated, âthis movieâs got no shame being scary.â
âIâve seen scarier. Haunted in Hell is a personal favorite of mine,â Aster smirked, âitâs about someone who gets the death penalty for all the crimes heâs committed and heâs sent down and forever tortured in Hell. Some deep stuff.â Syrus shuddered at that. A movie about eternal torture? He could only imagine just how terrifying that was. He shuddered, displeased even.Â
âOf course youâd watch something where a criminal gets punished like that,â murmured Chazz, ânow, can we go back to watching the movie? Iâm getting bored here.â The others sweatdropped a bit, the kind of cold sweat that was a bit awkward â it had hardly been any time at all wasted! Syrus sighed quietly as he could hear the movie being unpaused, and silence overtaking the group of people. Sure, he couldnât see the movie anymore, being under the blanket and all, but he was still pretty frightened by the grotesque sounds. He clenched tighter onto Hassleberry, and in return, Syrus could feel Hassleberryâs arm around him tighten its hold, as though trying to comfort and shield the short boy from the fearful things on the screen. It didnât help that Chazzâs dorm room had surround sound so⊠the gross sounds were everywhere. Syrus shuddered, and pressed his head into the side of Hassleberryâs chest. The entire time, the strong boy was sitting with his face flush, keeping Syrus as close to him as possible. It was odd⊠Syrus never expected Hassleberry to smell nice. He expected him to smell like sweat, something what people would consider more manly. Hassleberry smelled nice, though. Syrus couldnât put his finger on it. He rested a bit more snugly against his friend, his cheeks flaring a bit. Despite the fluster, he still felt⊠oddly happy like this in Hassleberryâs arms â it wasnât something he ever considered. His chest tightened a little bit, and for a few moments, Syrus felt like he could fall asleep right in Hassleberryâs arms.
⊠Until the sound of a gut-wrenching jumpscare could be heard, and despite not seeing it, Syrus jumped. Hassleberry tugged him closer, and conversations from the others could be heard.
âDamn, he just⊠killed himself to save his kids? Thatâs tragic,â Jim replied.
âI knew that was going to happen,â Aster rolled his eyes, âa cliche.âÂ
âIt's not cliche! Youâre just boring!â hissed Chazz. The others laughed at the banter, but Syrus didnât. He clutched onto Hassleberryâs pajama shirt, his hands trembling. He tried to think happy thoughts, tried to stay calm. Hassleberryâs comforting embrace helped though, and Syrus never saw the day heâd be this comfortable with him. He calmed down a little bit, still trembling in Hassleberryâs hold. The movie went on, and continued. The movie was frightening, and overall, wasnât even remotely enjoyable for Syrus â or for Hassleberry. A horror movie about a possessed doll? Yeah, no. Now, Hassleberry wasnât scared of porcelain dolls in any means, but he wasnât a fan of something so grotesque. He wished he could sneak Syrus out of here so he didnât have to sit through the rest of the movie, but saying he fell asleep wasnât a viable option. Everyone here knew Syrus â he would never fall asleep if he was this scared. Maybe Hassleberry could use an excuse that Syrus was so scared heâd passed out from fear but⊠eh⊠that wasnât a viable option, either. Damn it! He wasnât sure what to do to get Syrus out of this awful situation; heâd already experienced too much of this unpleasant movie.Â
âH-HassleberryâŠâ Syrus murmured softly, tugging on Hassleberryâs pajama top. The boy looked down at him, though Syrus remained hidden underneath the blanket.Â
âWhatâs up, Sy?â whispered the dino duelist in return.
âI-Iâm sorryâŠâ Syrus whispered once again, and Hassleberry was left confused.Â
âYou got nothing to apologize for, private. The others should be doinâ that; theyâre making you watch this awful movie. Everybodyâs afraid of somethinâ, they shouldâve been respectful of what you were afraid of,â the black haired boy nodded, clutching Syrus closer than before. This time, the short boy didnât reply, but Hassleberry could tell that Syrus softened up a bit to his words, and it made his heart warm. Innocent intentions often could cause harm to others, and Hassleberry knew that. Everyone wanted Syrus there because it wouldnât be the same without him, and they wanted to spend time with him â but that left Syrus in an awful position where he felt guilty for chickening out, and decided that he should force himself to stay and watch a movie thatâd definitely give him nightmares. Another jumpscare came with screams and gut-wrenching noises⊠and when Syrus let out a quiet whimper, enough was enough. âCâmon, weâre getting out of here.â Hassleberry scooped Syrus up on his arms, keeping the short man covered by the blanket, before turning on his heel after getting off the couch. He hoped no one would notice â thankfully, no one did, and if they had noticed, no one made a comment. Hassleberry snuck out of Chazzâs dorm room while carrying Syrus, before heading back to their shared dorm room. Once inside, Hassleberry carefully placed Syrus down on his bed after managing up the bunk bed ladder, and he sighed softly. âHowâre you doinâ, soldier?â Syrus poked his head out from the blanket.Â
âY-You tell meâ!â he exclaimed, shifting to remove his slippers, tossing them off the edge of the bunk bed, âhow am I supposed to get any sleep tonightâŠ?â It was a rhetorical question, not one to be answered, but Hassleberry decided he wanted to give him an answer anyway.Â
âCause you won't be alone, Syrus,â Hassleberry removed his shoes, âscoot over, will ya?â Syrusâ face flushed, but he didnât retort anything, scooting over on the bed. Hassleberry tossed his slippers down before climbing into his bunk, sliding underneath the blankets with Syrus. âYouâre still tremblinâ like a leaf, private.â
âY-You would too if you just watched a scary movie and you were scared of it! Theyâre all gonna have our heads for leaving, you know!â Syrus bickered, but Hassleberry didnât reply to that. He wrapped his arms around Syrus loosely, tugging him only slightly close. He could tell Syrus was trembling from the way the blankets shook lightly, and it was painful to witness. To think, all this couldâve been avoided if everyone considered Syrusâ feelings, but like usual, Hassleberry seemed the most in tune with Syrusâ emotions.Â
âYeah, youâre right. It didnât scare me, I donât got a clue what youâre dealing with,â Hassleberry admitted, âbut youâre scared right now, and thatâs what matters right now.â Syrus tensed a bit further, but he tried to calm himself down, tensing a little bit as he swallowed tightly. Hassleberry really did seem to understand this, didnât he? Syrus would always make comments about how Hassleberry wasnât the most observant, but maybe he was indeed wrong.Â
âYouâre putting t-to much of an effort into a crybaby,â murmured the machine deck duelist, who swallowed tightly. Why did he feel scared? Was it perhaps he was worried Hassleberry would realize Syrus wasnât worth the time, and heâd leave him all by his lonesome? He wanted the words back as soon as they left his lips but⊠that was difficult, considering it was impossible to take words back.Â
âYeah,â the tall boy spoke, âbut I donât regret it. SyâŠâ Hassleberry heaved a sigh as he tensed up, âSy, I like ya. I like ya a lot.â
âL-Like⊠l-like bros, right?â Syrus asked, blush creeping on his cheeks.
âNo,â Hassleberry replied. He was brave. He could do this. He wouldnât be afraid of doing this, it needed to be said. âI like you how Chazz used to like Alexis⊠except less annoying and less pushy.â Hassleberry thought on his words, however, and pursued his lips. â... Itâs alright if you donât feel the same. I get it. Iâm real sorry if I made you uncomfortable.â There was silence that overcame the two of them, but Syrus didnât jerk away from Hassleberry after that confession. It was just quiet, and for a good while, the dino duelist had assumed that the machine duelist had fallen asleep. If that was the case, then Hassleberry wasnât even worried about whether or not Syrus heard his confession⊠but he wasnât sure if heâd ever be able to say those words again. They were hard to say once, but twice without knowing where Syrusâ feelings lied? That was the real scary part.Â
âI-I think I like you tooâŠâ Syrus had broken the silence after what felt like ages, âl-like⊠t-the same way you like me. I never⊠I never really liked a guy up until youâŠâ
â... Yeah, me neither,â murmured the black haired boy, âsomething to adjust to, I guess.â Syrus nodded his head, and the two fell silent again, but only for a few moments. â... So are we like⊠a thing nowâŠ?â
âI-If you wantâŠâ mumbled Syrus.
âSy, I wouldnât have asked if I didnât want it,â the muscular boy chuckled a bit as he clutched Syrus closer, âget some shut eye, private. You earned it from battling all the fear you endured tonight.â Syrus nodded. He felt comfortable, like he would be able to sleep. He felt the comforting warmth take over him, and he soon fell asleep. Hassleberry smiled a bit, watching the way Syrus snuggled up into him. He was relieved, happy that the horrors of that damn movie had washed away somewhat. Hassleberry himself ended up falling asleep, more comfortable than anything in Syrusâ embrace.Â
The dino duelist crawled out of the bunk bed when he heard the sounds of movement outside. He didnât wish to wake his beloved up, so he carefully made his way down the bunk ladder and slid into his slippers, popping out to see his group of friends hanging out on the balcony railing, talking about the movie. He grew a bit annoyed, and when Jaden saw him, things changed.
âHey Hassleberry! Whereâs Sy? You guys left earlier,â Jaden pointed out with a frown on his lips, âwhy?â
âCause Syrus was scared,â Hassleberry frowned, and his eyebrows narrowed, âsergeant, usually Iâm on board with all your decisions, but this one I just canât get behind. You guys all forced Syrus to sit through a movie he didnât like.â
âBut he made us sit throughââ Chazz didnât get to finish his sentence.Â
âDid that movie make you uncomfortable? Did it give ya nightmares?â Hassleberry retorted, crossing his arms. No one answered. âDidnât think so. I think you guys should apologize to the little fella tomorrow, cause he wouldnât make you guys watch something thatâd downright traumatize you, and I donât wanna hear any âifsâ, âandsâ, or âbutsâ about it!â The others were silent, before each of them nodding their head in agreement, even the more difficult ones agreed to such. Hassleberry turned on his heel and entered the dorm he shared with Syrus and Jaden, with Jaden following behind after bidding goodnight to everyone else.Â
âWhere is Sy?â Jaden asked, being greeted with a stern glare from his taller friend.
âHeâs asleep in my bed, and hush up, youâll wake him up,â Hassleberry scolded before slipping off his slippers and climbing up the bunk. He got underneath the blankets with Syrus, snuggling back up to the shorter man. Jaden stared as he watched this unfold â he did not get the memo why the two were sharing a bed, but eh, if it made them happy, Jaden wouldnât judge. It wasnât like he hadnât fallen asleep in Jesseâs arms on the couch or something. He climbed into bed as well, and the lights turned off, everyone resting for the night.
In truth, however, Syrus hadnât been asleep entirely. When Hassleberry left to go scold everyone, Syrus had woken up without a word, or giving his boyfriend knowledge that he was awake. To think, Hassleberry had scolded everyone on his behalf, made them realize maybe theyâd been too pushy⊠it was heartwarming, and Syrus found himself smiling into his boyfriendâs embrace, falling asleep once again, and this time, not waking up until sunrise. He was okay, he was okay because of Hassleberry, because Hassleberry cared for him and loved him⊠Syrus considered himself a very lucky kid that he had him.Â
