Introduction
There are times when love that is meant to be, just doesn't come out right away. There are times when hopes and dreams are crushed because of fear. A perfect example of these times would be the love of Jesse Anderson and Jaden Yuki.
You see, Jaden was once a prince who was destined to fight the Light of Destruction with the Kind Darkness. Jesse was destined to be the light and pure soul that kept Jaden going and never gave up on him. However, there were their bad points too.
Jaden was once a Supreme King, an evil and ruthless killer of duelists. Jesse was possessed by Yubel, and his soul was tainted forever. There are many secrets being kept from one another because they are simply afraid. They're afraid of what the other will think of them once these secrets are released. And so, begins our story, of how they still found a way to embrace the warmth of love for each other.
"Jesse! What's up?" Jaden asked.
"Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to say hi and chat a little." Jesse replied. 'I really wish he'd be less oblivious to my feelings. Maybe then, I'd have a chance. But he's innocent and has no idea what 'engaged' means, so I'm fine with just being friends for now. Besides, I'm tainted with the thoughts of Yubel, who possessed me not too long ago. I could never try to get closer to Jaden, considering he was hurt by Yubel.' He thought.
'Jesse. He's so pure. His soul is so free of any darkness, so unlike mine. I can't risk him being darkened for life. I should just ignore him. It'll hurt and he'll be confused, but it's for the best.' Jaden thought.
Each thought that ran through their heads made them more and more afraid of what would happen if they tried to get closer. Jesse wanted to kiss Jaden and Jaden wanted to passionately hug Jesse, but they held back. Instead, Jaden started acting oblivious and ran off with a shout. "See ya tomorrow, Jess!" He smiled but inside, he was dying. 'How can I ever live with avoiding him forever?'
'Jaden. What's wrong? He doesn't know that Yubel possessed me, and yet, he's still avoiding me. What could be wrong?' Jesse began to worry if Jaden really did know about his past and how he had hurt so many while being Yubel. 'No, he couldn't know! Not even my parents know!'
So, with tears in their eyes and regret within their hearts, they left each other. Jesse was feeling miserable that he could never be perfect in Jaden's eyes. In reality, Jaden always thought that Jesse was too perfect for him. Jaden was afraid of Jesse finding out about the Supreme King and how he had captured so many souls. He would never be perfect in Jesse's eyes.
It's ironic and sad. It's hopeless and dramatic. What more is there to say? Will they ever find that love doesn't have to be perfect? Will they ever know of the pain that the other has gone through? Will Jaden ever accept the fact that he's not the only one with dark secrets? Will Jesse be able to assure Jaden that nobody's perfect? I hope you enjoyed this introduction!
