Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and if I did, there would be little dueling. I'd probably fill it with more girls, more drama, and actual physical combat.

Chapter 1

He stands here next to me. I can feel his warmth by me. I know he's talking and I can hear him, but I wish he'd stop talking and just kiss me already! That's right. You heard me correctly. I, Jaden Yuki, wish that Jesse Anderson would just kiss me and we could admit our love for each other. But, that's not very likely to happen anytime soon. You see, Jesse thinks of me as a friend. We are not anything more than that. At least, I know that he cares about me and I care for him. Who knows? Maybe he'll grow to want me just as much as I want him.

"Jesse! I've been looking everywhere for you! Where have you been?"

"Oh. Hey, Jaden. I was just thinking about some stuff." He replies nonchalantly.

I feel slightly hurt because he hasn't even looked at me yet and I haven't seen him in two days.

"Well, I w-was just wondering if you wanted to c-come with me to the cliff to watch the s-stars tonight." I know I sound nervous and I am, but I have to get some alone time with him. I've realized that I'm ready to face rejection if he doesn't want me like I want him. I just hope I won't have to.

Jesse looks up at me and gives me a big grin, the one I fell in love with when we first met. "Sure, Jay. I've been wanting to tell you something anyway."

I sigh, noticeably. He just gave me some much-needed relief. Well, so far so good. I smile and bound off, after telling him that we'll have a great time and the stars are really clear out here. I just hope I don't mess anything up.
