Foreword and Formalities:
Hello! So, this fiction has lots of poetry written by tours truly. I'll usually try to write an explanation for the poem at the bottom of the chapter
The title of the poem is also the title of the drabble. I'm using the dubbed names because my computer cannot understand Japanese, even when I pick it as part of the dictionary
I was actually inspired to write this because of TsukiHime Misaki's awesome drabble ficlet: My Multi Colored Heart.
Here's my feeble attempt at writing something as good as that…
Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, shape or form, own YGO! GX. I DO own ALL the poetry used for this fic. HA! In your face!...erm…yeah
Warnings: Boyxboy, shounen-ai, angsty and/or cheesy poetry
Pairing 1: Chazz x Jaden (Manjoume x Judai)
GX: Poems 'n Drabbles
---------------------------------------------------
Just a Kiss
Tasty chocolate, an hour ago,
turned to ashes,
compared to this.
Salty popcorn, fifty minutes ago,
turned to goo,
compared to this.
Sweet soda, forty minutes ago,
turned to dust,
compared to this.
Delicious potatoes, thirty minutes ago,
turned to wood,
compared to this.
Sublime turkey, twenty minutes ago,
turned to paper,
compared to this.
Frosty ice cream, ten minutes ago,
turned to cinders,
compared to this.
And now I think about it,
all alone in my room,
I find it strange,
that all those feelings,
appeared in something so plain.
After all,
a kiss,
is just a kiss.
-------------------------------------
Chazz really didn't like his life.
He used to be an Obelisk blue, the highest level at the Academy. Everyone loved him then. He was important, and his life was perfect.
Only to be crumbled to pieces by one person: Jaden Yuki. The stupid Slifer…
How the hell did he beat him in a duel?
Especially considering the boy has no idea whatsoever what fiancée means…
Not only that. He not only succeeded in forcing Chazz to leave the Academy for North Academy, oh no, he also beat him at the School Duel. Again.
And then, for some reason he still can't comprehend, Chazz stayed behind. To this day, the black Slifer ask himself what in the name Alexis was he thinking. He's a freaking Slifer now!
Sure, he's managed some better living standards then the others, but it's not the point!
Now, you may be wondering who Chazz blames for all this. The answer is obvious: Jaden Yuki.
The biggest wonder of all is why Chazz Princeton, the infamous black Slifer, is kissing the one whom he blames for all this. Confusing, huh?
Well, he's also confused as to how this occurred in the first place. So is Jaden, apparently, judging by his wide brown eyes. And the rest of the gang is also speechless…
Maybe I should tell you what happened a few minutes ago? Yes, that'll be a good place to begin.
The group of friends had decided that for lunch that day they'd have a picnic outside. The weather's been beautiful lately, so why not?
Therefore, they settled down one cliff facing the ocean. Those aren't to hard to find at Duel Academy, really. I mean, it's an island in the middle of nowhere, there's bound to cliff's facing the ocean, right?
But that's beside the point.
As you may or may not know, Jaden enjoys eating shrimp.
Chazz enjoys torturing Jaden.
There was only one shrimp left. The brunette, unsuspecting and happy, moved to grab it with his chopsticks…
And missed. Someone else already held it between their chopsticks.
Let's see, black coat? That's Chazz.
Annoyed, the brunette attempted to glare at the other Slifer. This caused the other to smirk. He aimed the shrimp so he could eat it, but Jaden tackled him, trying to get the shrimp.
The little piece of food went flying into the air in circular motions.
And it flew upwards, and upwards, and upwards…
At least until gravity pulled it back down.
Cue for Jaden and Chazz to both dive towards the poor unsuspecting piece of fried food with their mouths open trying to eat it...
SMACK!
Oh, they ate it alright. Half for each. Of course, side effects were the condition in which they were in now. Lip locked in a rather strange version of a French kiss.
The first reaction of everyone was shock. Jaws hanging open, wide eyes, you name it. The first one to snap out of it was Chazz.
His next reaction?
Well, he tore away from Jaden, dashed to the Slifer dorm, and locked himself up. Then he fell against the door, eyes shut painfully.
What was going through his mind? Let's take a look, shall we?
What the hell was that?
That…that feeling…
It was completely alien to him, not to mention bizarre…
He'd kissed various girls in his short life, and often dreamed of kissing Alexis, but never, not even in his dreams, had he experienced the feeling he'd just received from kissing Jaden…
"That's it…it's official…I'm nuts…" he muttered, cradling his head between his hands.
"Hey Boss! What's wrong?" I suddenly feel very bad for Ojama Yellow...
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Yep…I feel really bad. The black Slifer had grabbed the diminutive duel spirit, and had thrown him through the window…
How? I've no idea.
Now that the little pest is out of the way, let's re-evaluate.
I kissed Jaden Yuki in front of everyone…
…
I'm screwed…
Chazz, you're very pessimistic, you know that?
Wha…what was that?
Oh, whoops, never mind…carrying on with the story:
Chazz, having decided that his life was officially over, began to plan his funeral…how dull.
But the kiss continued to replay itself in his mind. And the more he saw it, he became more and more aware of the new feeling that had planted itself within him.
Whatever that means…
But it makes no sense! It's just a kiss! It was an accident!
Kisses aren't supposed to be like that! They're just kisses!
You're not supposed to feel anything other than the others person's lips on yours! That's it!
The ever confident, ever sure Chazz Princeton was suddenly doubtful…and banging his head against the door…
Dear me, it's the apocalypse…
Come on Chazz! It meant nothing! Pull yourself together!
You like Alexis! Alexis! A girl! Not Jaden! Definitely not Jaden!
…Okay, not working, erm…
Alexis wearing a bikini! Wearing a nurses outfit! A cat costume!
…oh God…
Jaden wearing a cat costume…
Get out of my head Jaden! Leave! You're not wanted here!
No matter how much I want to feel your lips on mine again get-
And he stopped. Had he just…?
Chazz groaned in embarrassment and exhaustion…
He wanted to kiss Jaden. Again. And again. And again…
What was wrong with him?
Everyone knew he had a major crush on Alexis! Even Jaden knew it!
Then why won't he stay out of my mind?!
He banged his head against the door one more time, trying in vain to wipe the hyperactive brunette from his thoughts…
Yeah, it didn't work.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Who could it be? Especially after what everyone had just seen…
Besides, the Chazz needed his alone time, damn it!
"What do you want?!" the black haired teenager spat as he threw open the door.
He came face to face with wide, chocolate brown eyes.
Okay, of all people, he had not been expecting this.
Definitely not expecting Jaden looking up at him with his huge eyes…he could almost see the cat ears threatening to appear on the teenagers brown mop of hair…
NO! NO!
Screaming at yourself…what an interesting hobby…
"Um, Chazz?"
"Hn?"
"I…er…I…wanted to…apologize if you didn't…em…enjoy it…I mean, I've never kissed…anyone before…so…I…um…"
Okay, what?
Well, that was interesting, to say the least…
So the Chazz stole Jaden's first kiss? About time he got even…
But that hadn't been a proper kiss…
"Tell you what slacker, I'll forgive you,"
"Really?"
"Yeah, on one condition,"
"What's tha-mmmhhhh,"
"That's what a real kiss is like, you idiot,"
"…hey, Chazz?"
"Yeah?"
"Think you can do that again?"
Smirk.
"As many times as you want,"
-The End-
Er, yeah…
The poem at the beginning, Just a Kiss, goes through a date. It starts of at fifty minutes, and then goes down to ten. It's telling you how what they had through their date is nothing compared to their final good bye kiss. And then, they obviously wonder why it's like that since a kiss is something so plain…at least to them.
Well…I don't know…it's a bit funny at times, I guess…
So yeah, constructive criticism, plain ol' reviews and flames are all welcome, just as long as you're not dissing the couple or shounen ai in general…
Pairing suggestions? Go right ahead!
