Been around, just reading really. I honestly used to write: one, just because life was so boring and two, because I was angry. Used to write to get the anger out of my system. So here I am, so darn pissed off (don't ask why). I also figured I should write with a different pairing in it. Here goes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh GX. I am merely a fan. Get why it's called "fan" fiction? Go figure.

Summary: Juudai thinks he hates Manjoume, and thinks that he likes him at the same time. It's all a confusing rollercoaster for him. What is it he really feels about his rival? Yuki Juudai x Manjoume Jun. (Jaden Yuki x Chazz Princeton)

Warning/s: VERY major OOC (because I don't really watch Yugioh GX) and shonen-ai. What else do I write? XD

Perfect

Chapter One

I really don't like Manjoume. He calls me a slacker, a dropout and much more. I'm really not. If I was, then would I be able to beat him? He's rather cold to me as well. I tried to ignore that at first, but now, it's really getting to me.

But as much as I regret it, I also have to admit that I am quite fond of him. Oh to hell with that, I think I'm in love with him. I want to scream it out loud, to get it out of my system, but I'm not that brainless. It's just that seeing him everyday doesn't really help. It makes my feelings, my movements and my train of thoughts harder and harder to control each day.

Love isn't rational. And I really hate it for that. I wish I could choose who I am meant to fall in love with. But at the same time, I can't because of that one teeny tiny little fact. If I could, would I be here thinking all this now? Of course not. Part of me is yelling at my immaturity and telling me to let go of this feeling as soon as possible. The other part is telling me to take chances, to at least give it a shot before doing that. I listen to neither voices.

I wonder what being perfect feels. Maybe it is to know everything, to be loved by everyone, just perfect. To be complete without flaws. Being like that must suck. Then there wouldn't be any challenge in life. No one is and will ever be perfect.

And he just won't admit it.

"What are you looking at, dropout boy?"

I frown.

"Aniki," Sho whines, tapping me lightly on the shoulder with a worried expression. "Are you all right? You haven't touched your food at all."

I glance at Sho lazily, and mumble, "I'm not really hungry today." He looks at me, obviously going to ask why. I get off my seat. "Don't worry, I'm just not feeling like, well, me today. I think I'll just get some fresh air."

"In that case, I'll go with you," Sho says, also standing up.

I shake my head, "Stay here, Sho. You haven't finished your lunch yet anyway. I'll just catch up with you later. Okay?" Sho looks at me, hurt shining in his eyes. "Ah, no, I didn't mean it like that. I just didn't want you to feel hungry later because of me."

Sho nodded, still looking unsure, but at least he seemed to feel a little better. "'Kay, Aniki," he smiled. "Let's meet up in class later."

I grin and give a thumbs up sign. "Well, see ya." I walk out of the cafeteria and wander around aimlessly. Spotting a tree not far from the school, I sit down; leaning on the trunk after making sure no one was around.

"The hell you think you're doing," a voice above snarls. "Shouldn't you be with your friends, pigging out?"

I look up and see Manjoume, sitting on one of the branches, glaring down at me. He's so high up; I almost lose myself, just wanting to admire my rival. How much do you think it will it hurt, if he falls off? I fight the urge to sigh. I do not need this right now. And here I was, hoping to lose these thoughts about the said boy. I stand up, saying nothing, and making a move to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I bite my lip and quickly think of an excuse. "I'm going to look for another tree."

"Good choice, slacker," I can feel him smirking at me. I must look like I just gave up easily, because of my actions. I really don't need this right now.

"I'm not a slacker," I state, and when I sensed that he opened his mouth to counter, I continue, "I already beat you twice, Manjoume." I turn to face him. "So shut up." I walk back to the cafeteria quickly, not waiting for the Obelisk to reply to my insults.

I really hate him.

Class was like hell. Everything the teacher said seemed to echo in my head. I didn't understand any of it. But I guess I'm being more focused than before. I really am not myself today, huh?

I walk out of the classroom, alone. Sho and Hayato went straight to Misawa's dorm for tutoring. They asked me to come as well, but I declined. I wanted to prepare my deck for dueling tonight, is all.

Suddenly, I felt someone push me aside, making me slip and fall down. I look up and see Manjoume's two Obelisk friends, if you can call them that. I rise slowly, on my guard. Who knows what these two might do next. One of them pushed me back down, sneering. "Listen here; I heard what you said to Manjoume. And no one ever gets away with that. We'll make sure of it."

"That's right," the other one piped in. "No one disrespects us Obelisks and gets away with it. Especially, you Slifers."

They both raise their hands at the same time. I have a bad feeling about what they'll do next. Then again, it's pretty obvious. I close my eyes, and wait for the blow that never came. When I open my eyes again, I see Manjoume holding both his friends' arms, preventing them from hitting me.

Are you just going to sit on your ass and do nothing?" he demands, eyes cold and furious. He then turned to his two allies and simply says, "Leave him be. Losers like him aren't even worth raising your hands at." His friends stood dumbfounded. "C'mon, let's go."

And they left me sitting there, more confused than I ever was before. I rush back to my dorm room, shut the door and slid down against it. I held my deck shakily and sobbed. I don't know what to do. Everything seemed to be messed up, especially my personality. But I think one thing is clear in my mind.

I really, really hate Manjoume Jun.

To be continued...

Wow, ouch. My writing makes me cringe. I think this is how it's supposed to start. Haha, it was like the 'spur of the moment' chapter. If that makes sense. (laughs) I'd rather this story have a happy ending so I'll try to continue. No worries. And another note, this is supposed to be rather short, maybe even rushed. Looking at my other stories, I don't think I'll manage writing anotherstory with more than five chapters. Oh, and I might just keep on changing the title. You guys know how I am. Lol.
