Hi, this is Aquamarine Crystalline or Rine-Line for short. I am relatively new to the Yu-gi-oh GX fandom. Well, here is a little contribution. I figured I'd start with drabbles. Well, the theme here is the 12 birthstones and their associated properties or meanings. And they're all Spiritshipping xD

Fandom: Yu-gi-oh GX

Hopefully, I can finish all 12, but for now, here's the first.

GARNET: Purity of Red

Red suited Judai, he mused.

No, it wasn't only in the physical sense (red definitely matched Judai's hair and eye color, in his opinion).

Red was the color of flames and it matched the Osiris Red duelist's passion for the game. Their first duel, the exhibition match, was still clear in his mind, like a painting that was permanently tacked there. He could remember the moment when Air Neos appeared in the battlefield from literally out of nowhere--- the miracle of the brown-haired duelist's Elemental Heroes and Neo Spacians.

And thanks to Air Neos the bloody color was there in his mind's canvas of memories again.

It was no wonder then that, even in his third year, Judai still wore red, like the color was part of him.

But what did that make of his naive side? Despite having graduated, Judai still sometimes acted like a kid, perhaps relinquishing the rare times he could still act like one. No... Judai was no longer a child. He looked and acted all grown-up now, that much he knew. Yet... Regardless of his transition, Judai's friendship, and consequent affection for him was unchanged: the same undying, faithful and...

Then it hit him, as Judai approached in the distance, waving and smiling at him.

Judai was never naive.

He was just pure.

And the vibrant red, Johan decided, will always be the color of everything that defined Yuki Judai in his eyes: his untainted passion for duelling, his virtuous justice and his... Pure love.

The end

JANUARY: Garnet

Associated Properties: Purity, truth, faithfulness and friendship

Haha, did that make sense? I know I have the penchant for writing stories with deep symbolism.

I find this thought-provoking a little, as white is usually the color of purity. Yet, in here, I made it red. Strange, isn't it?

Review if you please, all comments and suggestions are appreciated.
