Yugioh GX Crowler Au
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if Duel Academy had family days where parents and siblings can come visit the students or teachers from Friday to Sunday? Jaden is leaving to go back home for the days but one of the teachers has a surprising visitor! AU OOC possible bashing and femslash)
"It's time for the family weekend again! I used to come up here with my parents every time for the last three years to visit big brother. This will be the first time I get to see my parents since the school year started!" Syrus babbled excitedly to his roommates, Chumley who was both cautious and eager for Friday, which was tomorrow, when the families would arrive.
"Yeah I heard about Zane having a little brother visiting a year ago, never pieced it together until after you told me he was your brother though. I don't know whether to be happy or wary this year. Dad still wants me to take over the family business and I have already failed twice… but… it will be nice to see my parents again. Sucks that Family weekend is only held every four months though." Chumley said making Syrus deflate a bit, remembering the duel Chumley had with his dad not all that long ago.
Both boys glanced at their other roommate when he didn't say anything and instead focused on packing his suitcase.
"You're not staying Jaden?" Syrus asked a bit upset. He wanted to introduce his best friend to his parents.
"Nah I'm heading home for the weekend." Jaden said with a smile on his face. It wasn't a lie really.
"You're parents aren't coming to visit you?" Chumley asked frowning slightly as he rolled over to peer down at his strange friend.
"My mom is dead. She died having me." That was the complete and utter truth. Pure fact that Jaden had known for a long time. Chumley and Syrus winced slightly at the perceivably sore topic from their friend.
It did explain why he was so clueless about romance and yet seemed to attract plenty of girls who liked him and seemed to fret n him a bit. Alexis was a bit of a fretter over Jaden, having a huge crush on the boy she tried to keep secret. Rebecca at the card shop seemed to have taken to Jaden like he was a naïve but loveable little brother. Miss Dorothy seemed to dote on Jaden like an aunt would their favorite nephew.
Miss Fontaine however had taken on a straight up maternal role around Jaden, which the boy seemed to appreciate and bask in the affections. Now they knew why.
"My dad works at a school and he couldn't get time off to come visit me and I have no aunts or uncles or even grandparents." Jaden said not looking up as he packed his clothes, still telling the complete truth.
"So you're going to visit him instead." Syrus finished making Jaden nod. Technically the truth.
"Well I'm going to miss you." Syrus said hugging his friend quickly as Jaden snapped his suitcase closed.
"Don't worry Sy. I'll be back on Monday." Jaden said patting Syrus on the head and then leaving to get changed for bed. Jaden was a bit shy about his body, never changing in front of or around anyone.
The next morning when no one was looking and the boat for the students going home, which were very few, was about to leave, Jaden hid away from everyone in a small hidden room near the pier. In the room already was a suitcase, a hat, a hairbrush and a small lens case. Making sure the door was shut behind him firmly and securely locked, Jaden quickly changed cloths and took out a pair of contact lenses from his eyes, putting them in the case, before brushing his hair flat.
Looking at the newly placed watch on his wrist and waiting ten minutes until the boats for the family visiting the students and faulty landed…Jaden snuck out of the hidden room and into the crowd effortlessly while carrying the new suitcase and with a sunhat on his head.
His flip flops felt weird since he was used to tennis shoes now but they were comfortable as Jaden made his way through the crowd of arriving family over to where the students and teachers were waiting for their family to find them.
"Doctor Crowler? You have family visiting today?" Syrus asked the usually stern and mean teacher who was waiting rather impatiently at the end of the pier in front of the students. Jaden's ears perked up as her head snapped in that direction. A wide grin stealing across his face.
"Of course I do. I do have a life outside of Duel Academy you know." Crowler said scowling at the small boy who looked more terrified now that Jaden wasn't beside him to help his confidence.
"Now that I think about it there was some rumors going around about you during family days last year and the year before but you hardly interacted with anyone so nobody confirmed it." Chumley said thinking about it for a moment as he scanned the crowd for his parents.
"Now that he mentions it…I remember hearing something too." Alexis said from where she was beside Zane and Syrus, looking for her own parents and half hoping her brother had been found and was with them now.
"Oh honestly. Gossiping about a teacher, don't you kids have anything better to do?" Crowler asked annoyed while he seemed to be looking for someone.
"No." All students in hearing zone immediately replied completely deadpan before Jaden came rushing over at full speed.
"Omph!" Crowler had been about to respond when he was suddenly slammed into and nearly bowled over if it wasn't for Zane, Bastion, and Chumley being behind him.
Everyone blinked as they looked at who had tackled the Vice-chancellor of the school and head of Obelisk Blue.
It was girl of about sixteen with short brown hair that wet to her shoulders. She was a bit on the scrawny side and was wearing a red and grey sundress, a pair of flip flops, and a sunhat to shield her head. She was also beaming up at Crowler with a wide grin that showed sparkling white teeth and her eyes were happy and a cool familiar shade of blue.
"Found you." Jaden chirped happily as she hugged Crowler who gave a genuine laugh as he hugged her back.
"You certainly did princess." Crowler said smiling widely as he picked up the girl and spun her around for a minute while all the students stared in shock and confusion. They didn't know who this girl was or why she seemed familiar to them but they had never seen Doctor Crowler act like this before.
They didn't know that she had been pretending to be a boy on her dad's request to try and help stamp out the bullying problem in the school. They didn't know that she was sharing a room with two boys who had no idea she was a girl. They didn't know…that they knew this girls male self.
They just knew that the girls next laughingly said words had all their brains grinding to a halt while their jaws dug into the ground.
"Daddy! Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!"
