(Yeah, it's been a while, hasn't it? :P Recently, I've been working on Iridescent on Artemis and Iris, so apologies for abandoning this account. I now bring the first of a bunch of Yu-gi-oh short stories and drabbles. Getting admitted to hospital seemed to really bring out the fangirl in me... ^^)

Title: Questions

Rating: T (to be safe)

Pairing: Thiefshipping (first attempt... :P)

Date: 18/10

Warnings: A tad angsty and shonen-ai. No likey, no ready

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH! (1)

How can you make me love you? How did you melt the ice that surrounding my emotions? How did you take control of my heart and make it want you when I didn't want it to? How can you cause my breath to catch when you simply smile? How did my emotions become your toy, my soul yours to play with as you please? How did you make me surrender to you, except for the speck of cold reason and sanity that remains that I'm sure has more to do with my other half? How did you enchant me so? What spell did you cast?

Why does the world seem brighter when you aim that rare soul-searing smile at me? Why do I shed tears at the thought of you leaving me behind? Why do I listen to songs on loop that remind me of you? Why did you save me, only to have me fall apart just for you? Why do I find myself doing small things I think will make you just a little bit happier?

When did I become such a willing slave?

Why can't you see what's right in front of you? Why are you blind to the obvious? Why can you see so much of me, yet so little? Why can't you see what everyone else can? Why can't you just notice me?

Do you simply not want me, or do you find pleasure in the fact that I so easily fell for you? Do you know what you've done for me, or was that simply a nuisance for you? Do you think it's funny that I have to control my emotions now, at any time? Do you enjoy what you're doing to me? Do you want me to go insane?

Would that make you happy? Would that finally make you notice me and my existence? Would you listen if I told you everything I'm thinking right now? Would you laugh? Would you completely ignore my pleas?

Should I tell you? Should I tell you the one thing you've been missing all this time? Should I break the silence and give into my heart?

Do you promise to listen until the end? Do you promise not to laugh? Do you feel the same, despite the astronomical chances? Do you believe in Fate, or, at least, love?

"Bakura... W-will you go out with me?"

1) However, I did see two awesome cosplays of Yussei and Judai whilst at Eirtakon... Those guys certainly rock and I do own pictures of them :P
