A/N: Okay, this was just a short little drabble I wrote while lobbying for a separate GX catagory on FFnet. Now that there finally is one, I figure I might as well go ahead and post it.

Dear Diary:
Why do men have to be so... thick? Well, maybe not all men, just him in particular. Yuki Judai, the best duelist I've ever seen, even greater than Ryo. Oh, sure, he may have lost to Ryo, but since when does losing matter to him? If he can learn something from the experience, it's still a win in his book.
Ever since I first saw him duel, when he faced Professor Chronos in his examination duel, I noticed that he had a certain... flair to him. He duels for fun, even when the stakes are high. He's cocky, but not arrogant, and he's got the skills to back up his boasting.
He stands by his friends, a group of which I'm lucky enough to count myself a part of, especially in their time of need. Like when Hayato's father tried to withdraw him from the school, or when he helped Sho regain his confidence to duel. Even under the gravest circumstances, like when that creep Titan had abducted me and locked me in a coffin, he dueled for my freedom.
Though the one quality I admire most about him is that he never admits defeat until the very end. Even when it looks grim, he never falters and it seems he always pulls a trump card out of nowhere when he really needs it. The great Mutou Yugi once spoke of "The Heart of the Cards". Could Judai have that? But whether or not he has the Heart of the Cards, I know one thing for certain.
He has my heart.
He's just too dense to realize it.
Until next time,
Asuka
