You Didn't Break My Heart, He Did
I can't believe I acted that strange towards you. Of course, you weren't all that bright, so I didn't know how to act. I was beautiful; you were blessed with the gift of… stupidity.
Ah well. We can't all get lucky.
Is there a reason you've never asked me out? Is it because you're too afraid to? Or is it because you don't like me?
Worrying about crap like this won't help me any, and I know that. But how can I resist you?
You're a bit like me. Both blonde, both duelists, and both hopelessly lost on the path of life.
I really love you, Jonouchi. But watching you act like you have no idea how I feel hurts. But you didn't break my heart.
He did – the man. I saw him tell you that day. Seto Kaiba, who does he think he is, anyway? Once I heard that confession, my heart broke. I waited for you to kiss him, to do something.
But, thankfully for me, you walked away. Away from that influential man, the one person that even I couldn't really resist – Seto Kaiba.
I thought about it last night, and I realized that the only guy for me is you. It hurts me every time Isis and Serenity dump you…
I listen as the classmates mock you for whatever it is. I pretend to laugh, but every word is a knife into my heart. How can they be so cruel to you?
I want to yell, "That's not right! Stop it!"
But they'd never listen to me. They'd say something like, "What's gotten into you, Mai? Are you nuts?"
But I'm not nuts. I'm just in love with you.
And, knowing my luck, you probably love Kaiba. You act like nothing out of the ordinary has happened, as is Kaiba.
I really should be paying attention to the teacher, shouldn't I? But it's rather hard to pay attention to something when more urgent matters are taking up your mind.
One of my teachers today asked me, "What happened, Miss Valentine? You look very pale. Maybe you should see the nurse."
If you found out that the person you loved might be gay, you'd look pale too.
Wouldn't you?
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yugioh.
A/N: I can't believe Misura called my bluff. I wrote 'You Didn't Break My Heart, He Did' before 'Drabble and then… You', then, in a flurry of inspiration, wrote 'Drabble' in about five minutes. This one took a bit longer, however.
My second serious Yugioh fic… I'm a bit scared…
Kaiba: I'll pretend I didn't read this over your shoulder.
