"Do you like me?"

Mai's question was so simple,

yet she didn't get answer.

Cold blue eyes were just staring at her,

still not giving her her answer.

"Do you like me?"

Mai asked again.

"No." Seto's answer was simple,

yet it was hard to tell it,

and even harder, hear it.

"Is it because of my friends?"

Mai asked.

"No."

That was his answer again.

"Is it because of my boyfriend?"

Blue eyes refused to look at her,

that drew her mad,

waiting and waiting and still not getting answer.

"No."

That was the only word he was telling her,

such a simple word,

yet it had unlimited meaning.

And then, Mai asked the most complicated question -

"Why?"

She didn't expect answer,

yet she wanted it so badly,

she needed it.

Needed to hear why he said 'no' every time.

When Kaiba's eyes finally met hers,

they weren't cold and cruel,

when she looked at him now,

she saw a broken person.

Person that has been brainwashed of all emotions.

His lips separated, preparing to give her answer,

but nothing came out of them.

Nothing.

Not even 'no'.

"Do you like?"

Mai didn't stop,

and she won't stop until she gets answer she wants.

"Yes." Was his answer now.

But then,

Mai woke up, sitting in her bed -

it was just a dream.

But, dreams can become true.

Right?

And she will get her 'yes'.
