They Ask Me Why
Summary: Musings on an unusual relationship, and the awkward questions friends ask. One-shot.
AN: Can be interpreted as shounen-ai or het. Can also be considered a sequel to So I Wait, but it's understandable without reading that.
Disclaimer: I do not own YuGiOh or any of the characters, settings and etc. therein.
They Ask Me Why
They ask me why I act like you are still here.
I tell them it's because I do not feel that I have lost you.
They ask me why not.
I tell them it's because I'm sure you'll return.
They ask me why I am so sure.
I tell them it's because I know you well.
They ask me why I am in denial.
I tell them I am not. I am only waiting for you.
They ask me why I wait for you.
I tell them it's because I would miss you.
They ask me why I would miss you.
I tell them it's because I care about you.
They ask me why I care about you, when you don't care about me.
I tell them it's because I can't imagine life without you.
They ask me why I can't think of life without you.
I tell them it's because you're my closest friend and I trust you.
They ask me why I trust you.
I tell them it's because you trust me.
They ask me how I know.
I tell them it's because you tell me what you would never tell anyone else, and you keep my secrets closer than your own.
They ask me why you would do that.
I tell them it's because I believe in you, and I think you want to keep that belief alive.
They ask me why I believe in you.
To this, I can only smile, and give no answer. For how could I tell them, the ones who believe so honestly that you hate me…that you hate everyone…and that I am afraid of you, that you love me? And about how I feel the same for you?
Every time they begin to ask, it always leads to this. I try to give them answers that will stop the questions…
But still they ask me why.
