Syrus rubbed his sore cheek. It may have been a few days since Zane had hit him, but the bruise remained; both the one on his cheek and his heart. But soon, none of that would matter, for even though step one didn't go so well, step two in Syrus's 2-step plan in having a better life would be a success.
The thought of Jaden not liking Syrus in that sense never even crossed the bluenette's mind. He was blinded by the love he had for his best friend and the unknown desperation in his heart to find that one special person who would think of Syrus as the sun and moon; the one thing in their lives that made their hearts sing and their souls whole.
Everything he needed to make Jaden his was in place. The red rose, don't ask where it came from, was in hand; the full moon was out; and the one Syrus loved was currently looking out over the water as he did every time there was a full moon. Believe it or not, Jaden was a very deep person. Only Syrus knew that his love did something like that. That made the pretty bluenette believe, more than ever, that the two were soul mates.
Syrus looked at the digital alarm clock, then out the window; time for him to confess his love.

"You wanted to see me Jaden?" Alexis asked her friend.
The brunette turned to the blonde. "Yeah…Alexis…can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What is it?" Alexis responded. Jaden sounded hesitant; very out of character for the normally over-confident 15-year-old brunette.
"Alexis…" Jaden started, "how do you know…if…you're in love?"
Alexis gave the boy a weird look. "What?"
"Well, you see, I have these strong emotions for two different people. You and…someone else we know." If Jaden told Alexis he possibly loved his best friend…well…that'd be awkward, weird, and embarrassing.
"Well…I guess your heart would beat faster, your mouth would go dry, you wouldn't be able to speak in complete sentences when they're around if you loved them" Alexis rambled on. She had never been in love, so the blonde Obelisk was going off of what she had seen on TV, and what her girlfriends always acted when they saw a cute guy.
Jaden groaned. "Man, this is confusing! Is there any other way to know that you love someone!"
"Well…I guess…you would know if you kissed them" Alexis suggested. She may not love Jaden, her affections were toward the tall, dark, top duelist Zane, but she would be more than happy to help her friend.
"You want to try?" Jaden asked.
Alexis blushed. "Try k-k-kissing?" She was stuttering? Alexis never really stuttered, or blushed for that fact, in front of any boy; at least no boy whose name wasn't Zane Truesdale.
"Yeah. I mean, what harm would it do?" Jaden asked with his cocky smile.
"Okay…I guess it wouldn't be too horrible" Alexis admitted.
The two duelists came closer together. Jaden placed his hands on Alexis's hips; Alexis gently gripped Jaden's shoulders and together, they kissed under the blue light of the moon.

A red rose fell from a numb, pale hand. Dulling silver eyes stared at the romantic scene of a brunette kissing a blonde. Syrus felt his heart shatter into a million little pieces. And those pieces deemed too big were shattered into more shards as the image of Syrus's love was burned into his psyche.
Syrus's brain yelled at his feet to move. To go anywhere, as long as it wasn't that spot. It didn't matter if it was the dorm, the actual school, or over the cliff where the two lovebirds would see the small bluenette fall his death into the great blue ocean. Have that image of Syrus's doom burned into their minds as the image of their kiss was burned into his.
Syrus's feet did eventually move, but not toward the nearby cliff and into the ocean where he'd drown to death. Instead, his now-working feet led the heart-broken boy to the dorm room he shared with the boy that secretly held his heart and had marvelously broken it. On his way, Syrus thought about what he had just witnessed, trying fervently to block out the image as best he could, but failing every time.
Why? Why was he kissing Alexis? I'm supposed to be the one Jaden loves.
Well, Zane's voice starting answering, Alexis is the top female duelist in the entire Obelisk dorm; you can't even get out of the bottom of the Slifer barrel. Alexis is tall, blonde, and beautiful; you are a 4-foot-tall shrimp who looks like he should be back in grade school. She doesn't go running away at the first sign of failing; you tried to go into the ocean when a simple tag-team duel was rearing its head. SHE is a girl; you are a BOY lusting after another BOY.
It's not lust. It's love. True love…true…
That's not how I saw it. I saw it as Jaden choosing the RIGHT gender. The right sexuality. Not the lustful thing you call love. I see it as a simple case of you being the pathetic, disgusting, disappointing self that only gets in other's way! I see it as a simple case of your idiocy! Your disgusting lust!
He…he's right. I-I am a disappointment. I am disgusting. I am nothing compared to Alexis. My emotions, love or lust, are meaningless. They're stupid. Everything about me is stupid.
Before Syrus knew it, he was in his bed, sobbing his silver eyes out into the pillow that would give no comfort, surrounded by the blanket that gave no warmth.

Alexis and Jaden separated. "So…any rushing emotions?" Alexis asked.
"Like what?"
"Happiness? Something like that?"
Jaden thought for a minute, eyes pointing upward, and hand on chin.
"Okay…if you have to think about it, then it's a no" Alexis said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"I guess you're right. Well," Jaden said with a smile, going from solemn to happy, "thanks for your help Alexis!"
"No problem. See you in class tomorrow!" Alexis said as she walked off towards the girl's dorms.
Jaden walked in the opposite direction. Along his way, he spotted a red rose lying on the ground. He just shrugged it off and headed towards his room.
