Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Fanfiction: The One I'm Looking for

Final Draw

After Jaden went into the dorm, Blair didn't go in but she sent Alexis a message to meet up at the light house instead.

"Blair? Didn't expect you to call me out here at the middle of the night, what is it?"

Alexis is smiling happily, because Jaden looked really happy when he received her present.

"I only want to talk with you, are you bothered by it?"
"Why, of course not. What do you want to talk about?"
"Well, it's about Jaden, of course!"
"*Giggles* As expected, well... It's been 2 years since the opening ceremony."
"Yeah... You will soon be a 3rd year and I will be a 2nd year."
"Still, I never thought that you will be back in just 1 year!"
"*Chuckles* Well, it's the power of love!"

Blair puffs her chest proudly.

"Still, you really do love romance."
"It should be obvious, right? I'm a girl after all."
"R-Really?"

Alexis starts to think that she's weird for only thinking about duel since she's a kid.

"Of course! The saying; 'A maiden's true beauty is only seen when they're in love' is not just a saying!"
"Oh... Really?"

Alexis gives a wry smile.

"Say, Alexis?"
"Huh?"
"Why do you love Jaden?"
"Huh..."

Alexis never thought about it before.
Before she knows it, she is already in love with Jaden.
But things are different in Blair's case.

"In my case, I love him because he is true to his heart."
"True to his heart?"
"Yes, he will never do things that he doesn't want to do. He does what he like, that free soul of his is what made me fell in love to him."
"..."

Alexis was at loss of words.

She never thought that Blair could see that side of Jaden despite her young age.
And she thought that Blair's love to him is just like of a kid who felt attached to a person's kindness.

"You're more mature than what you look."
"W-What is that supposed to mean!?"
"*Chuckles* I mean it the way I say it."
"Hmph, how rude! ... Huh?"

Blair felt a vibration from her pocket.
Then she noticed that it's a message, not to mention it's from Jaden.
Alexis also received one soon after.

'I've found my answer. Meet me at the place where the three of us met for the first time.'

"..."
"..."

None of them spoke a word.

They are thinking of what to say at this kind of situation.

"... Alexis? You received one, right?"
"Yeah... It seems like he reached a conclusion..."

Their hearts are beating real fast.
The nervousness that they never felt before attacked them mercilessly.

"I guess we need to head back now."
"I agree..."

Even though Alexis looked calm, she's only suggesting that because she needs to calm herself. Blair agreed with the same reason.

Thus, they part way and return to their own room.

...

"Jaden has come to a conclusion... I need to steel myself..."

Blair takes a deep breath.

"If it's his own choice... I will accept it, no matter how painful it is..."

Blair can already guess what his answer is, but she wants to hear it directly from his mouth.
