Stacking The Deck - Chapter 27.2 (Patreon)

Yarden raised an eyebrow at her, before grinning, "Sure," he said and shrugged, before his hands slid down and dipped under her skirt, to come up and cup her full, soft ass cheeks and give them a squeeze, "You look especially sexy when you're in detective mode."

"Uh-huh," Alexis merely deadpanned at him, before rolling her eyes. She leaned into his hold, pressing her soft chest against his own, "Fess up, there's no way you went out there on a stroll and just so happened to come across Dimitri with a video camera after he'd stolen Yugi's deck, you knew he stole it didn't you?"

"I might have," Yarden laughed lightly, grin widening a bit, "I figured it was a sure bet some idiot was going to do it, there's a surplus of them on this island, so I planned to take advantage of that fact and use it to my benefit and now I have a video of me curb stomping Yugi's deck. People will go wild for it and my stock as a duellist in the pro leagues is gonna sky rocket."

"Of course you did, that seems about right with you," Alexis snorted, "Plans within plans within plans with you, huh? If it weren't for how blunt, upfront and everything you've let me in on, I'd almost be tempted to think you only wanted to date me for clout of being with a candidate for the Queen of Duel Academy."

…For once, Yarden was thrown for a bit of a loop. "What the fuck is the queen of duel academy?" he gave her a confused look.

Alexis laughed, "Just a silly popularity contest I had no interest in until I started dating you, don't worry about it," she replied, "I just decided to learn a bit from your example in upping my chances of going pro later and as you just said, building up my stock."

"This is the first time I've heard anything about a popularity contest." Yarden confessed, "Especially for something sounding that…grand? Well no it sounds stupid and kind of cringe, a lot like Zane's whole Kaiser thing, but if it boosts your chances I'm all for it, just not sure how I missed something that seems that…big? I guess."

"Of course you did," Alexis scoffed, eyes dancing with amusement, "All the other guys hate you for the most part and the two you hang around with beyond me and the girls are Zane and Jaden, two people of have zero, no less than zero interest in something like that."

Huh…well that made sense.

"Actually, on that topic did you know there's an official hate club for me now?" he asked with a laugh.

"I do actually, I got a petition from them a few days ago signed with over fifty names, a petition for me to stop dating you," Alexis giggled, "It was…kind of sad and I ended up laughing by mistake? And they kind of ran off before I could even say anything after that."

…Wait, what?

"Hmm, suddenly I find myself with the need to pay their club a…." he trailed off thoughtfully.

"Greeting?" Alexis suggested.

"Beating, pay them a beating," he corrected her, "Maybe break a few legs, feed some of their souls to Serpent Night Dragon, that kind of thing."

'…Why would I want to eat such feeble weak souls?' Serpent Night Dragon scoffed.

"Well, you do that," Alexis nodded, "Beyond that, I hope you're planning on blurring out Dimitri's face in that video. Otherwise, he's gonna get expelled."

Yarden raised an eyebrow at her again, confused once more, "Why?" he found himself asking, "I don't really care either way, but the guys a thief, stole someone else's deck like that Titan fuck tried with you, a crime you know?"

"Not quite the same, he wasn't really malicious about it," Alexis pointed out, "I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be punished, but he's gonna get kicked out and get lambasted by practically the whole world if it gets out he stole Yugi's deck. He's just a stupid idiot, I don't really wanna see someone's life go to hell over just one silly mistake."

…A pretty big mistake. Stealing Yugi's deck, was akin to in the duelling world, stealing the Mona Lisa or something. It was a big, big deal.

Not that he cared about that, rather-

"But I'm gonna have to download editing software to do it, it'll take hours." Yarden then proceeded to whine.

"Aww, poor baby," Alexis pat his cheek, "Want me to kiss it better?"

"Yes," Yarden nodded unashamedly, "Actually fine, I'll do it, but you gotta stay here tonight."

"That's not a sacrifice on my part, I've done it a few times already remember?" Alexis pointed out, "But that's fine with me you big baby, I'll need to go grab my clothes for tomorrow though and come back."

"Pick up some sexy underwear while you're there." he suggested.

"I'll think about it." Alexis merely snorted.

"Well you're coming back late," a familiar, annoying voice spoke up behind Alexis as she stepped into girls dorm and closed the door, "Out having a little late night rendezvous with your boy toy?"

Alexis resisted the urge to sigh in annoyance.

"Something like that," Alexis turned around to face the speaker, crossing her arms, "Not that it's any business of yours." she added, staring daggers.

Leaning against the wall was a third year Obelisk Blue girl, curvy, with short black hair and pale green eyes, "I dunno about that, Odhar is the talk of the school these days," Seika Kohinata mused with a smirk on her face, "Rumour has it he's the best duellist in the school now, some people are saying he's even beaten Zane. Quite amazing for a first year who's only been here a few months, he's got a lot of eyes on him."

"And what of it?" Alexis arched an eyebrow challengingly, "Like I said, it has nothing to do with you."

"Oh I think it has everything to do with me, what with you trying to usurp me from my rightful place as queen," Seika scoffed, "You've been getting a bit too big for your britches lately Alexis, all those idiots praising you as the most beautiful girl in the academy and now you're dating the possible best duellist in the school and you decide to throw your hat in the ring after you get with him? I'm not an idiot, None of the other girls are."

"Could have fooled me," Alexis scoffed, "You vapid twits running around treating this place like a beauty contest pisses me off. I simply decided to take a page out of Yarden's book and use this little popularity contest to my benefit for when I go pro."

Ever since she decided to toss her name in properly as a candidate for the queen of duel academy, this idiot and a few others like the second year, that slutty Missy girl who was rumoured to have slept with a few of her male opponents into having them take a dive and was obsessed with Zane had started bothering her here and there.

None more annoying than this bitch here. This was the first time she'd confronted her alone, but her subtle comments calling Yarden cute, dishy and other such nonsense in her hearing range to try and goad her had been going on for over a week now.

It was such juvenile nonsense Alexis had just been ignoring it.

"You're such an arrogant little bitch Alexis, you've been looking down on the other girls interested in this kind of thing since you got here, and now you think you can just waltz in at last minute and claim the crown?" Seika scoffed, pushing off the wall and marching towards her, "You've got the personal backing of one of the two strongest guys here and think you can do whatever you want huh?"

"As if," Alexis snorted, "The reason I look down on you twits is simply because of the fact this is a school for duelling, yet you all spend your time obsessing over being popular and romance and other stupid crap like that."

"Yet you're the only one with a boyfriend between us right now and the one who decided to jump in and try and claim the crown," Seika huffed, turning her nose up at her, "I wonder how confident you'll be if I let you know Missy has taken an interest in Odhar and wants to steal him from you? And I won't lie, I have a bit of a one myself, with his strength as a duellist and my position as queen, we would make quite the power couple, right?"

"Leave Yarden out of this," Alexis' face pulled up into a near snarl, "Actually, stay away from my boyfriend you stupid hussy or we're gonna have a real problem."

Never in a million years did Alexis even think she would utter such words. Worse was the fact that she felt genuine rage burning in her at this stupid bitches words.

…Stupid Yarden.

She had absolutely zero interest, less than zero interest even in the nonsense of romance and things like that before she met him.

Would she get in trouble if she took a page out of Yarden's book and punched this smug bitch in the face?

"We already have a real problem," Seika sneered, "Newsflash, it's you. If you bow out of the competition though, I might be nice and let you keep him. Only might though, I've got some real uses for him and those arms of his are quite delicious looking, might be nice to have strong arms like that wrapped around me while sleeping in bed."

Alexis released a deep shuddering breath.

"…Is that right?" her response was eerily calm.

Despite the boiling unyielding rage beginning to build in her veins at this complete and utter bitches words.

Jasmine and Mindy were one thing. They were her friends, like sisters to her actually. They'd been together since before they were ten years old. And she didn't want to come between their relationship with Yarden just because they were dating. This bitch on the other hand?

A whole different story.

"Quite," Seika smirked at her proudly, "Between us girls, how big is he? You know? Down th-kyaaaa!"

Seika's smug voice turned into a squealing yelp as Alexis' hand roughly grabbed her by her shiny black locks and dragged her forward into a punch that rocked her chin and made her hit the ground.

Alexis lunged down, straddling the older girls stomach and slapped her across the face, then again before Seika managed to cross her arms over her face to protect herself and begin flailing beneath her while screaming, "Huh, what's that? Nothing else to say!?" Alexis shouted as she reached over her arms to pull at her hair while trying to slap her over and over with her other hand, "No more smart comments about my boyfriend?! Huh you vapid whore!?"

Yarden was such a bad influence on her. But Alexis was too angry to care with what Seika had said to her.

She only stopped when the other girls were attracted by the commotion and Jasmine and Mindy rushed over to pull her off of Seika.

"I wonder if I could sell the idea of riding duels to Kaiba or something?" Yarden mused to himself, laying on his side on his huge soft green couch, head propped up on his fist as he watched the Kaibaman Rising movie on the massive television provided for his dorm room.

It was going to take an hour or so before the software he needed to edit the video he recorded was done downloading, so he was passing the time until Alexis got back.

Once she was here, he'd have a lot more pleasant of a time for sure. And maybe tonight they could go a little further? The most they'd done so far was a bit of heavy petting.

He didn't want to rush her, but god was it hard with how much of a babe she was. There wasn't a day that went by where he didn't want to rail her silly. Alexis was just too hot for her or rather his own good man.

He was actually quite proud of himself for having the self control not to push her too fast. This was her first relationship after all.

Her feelings were more important than his raging dick.

"…Could I even get a motorbike brought here?" Yarden wondered. He could definitely afford one, but did people even deliver motorbikes?

He wasn't worried about not being old enough to have a license. He could just duel for the rights to drive it. Honestly, with how lax were things on Duel Academy, Sheppard would probably let him drive it around no fuss.

…Actually, he had no idea how to go around transforming a motorcycle into a D-wheel actually. Maybe he could find a mechanic duel spirit somewhere? Or actually, there were a few motorbike monsters out there, maybe he could just find a spirit for one of them and then summon it to ride after bonding with it?

First he'd need to patent the idea though. And then run it by Kaibacorp and hopefully Kaiba. It was extreme duelling, Kaiba would totally be into it. And as the one behind the idea, there was a great chance for him to make bank off of the idea.

A ding from his PDA brought him out of his thoughts. Lifting his arm, Yarden concentrated for a moment, before a small fluffy brown dog popped into existence on the table a few feet away from where he lay, where his PDA sat.

Without needing to be told anything, Marron picked there device up in his mouth before hopping over to him and dropping it beside him, "Good boy." Yarden praised the canine duel spirit, petting him on the head.

Marron barked happily, before curling up in a ball and laying against his stomach.

Yarden fondly patted the dog spirits head a little bit more, before reaching over to pick up his PDA to see who messaged him.

Huh, it was Alexis.

'Sorry babe, I won't be able come back over, or see you the rest of the weekend actually. I'm being confined to my dorm room and I have detention all next week for getting into a fight.'

"…Wait, what?" Yarden blinked and stared at the message in utter confusion.
