1 Finally Out
This begins around 3/5 into Chapter 36 of the original novel. Please read the original if you want to understand what's happening. Otherwise, you'll be very, very confused.
###
"Aww, Haru, don't be like that~" Yuu purred as he crawled forward. "It's not like I'll see anything I shouldn't, right? You have them wrapped for me, don't you?"
I stopped moving when I heard these sentences.
The fog in my head dispersed.
My heart started beating roughly against my ribs, and I felt like I couldn't breathe.
"You..." I couldn't finish my sentence.
I didn't want to.
Yuu merely smiled like a Cheshire cat.
"I've been watching you, Haru-chan~" He merrily admitted without shame.
"C-Cam..."
"Mhm, that was me!~" Yuu continued prowling towards me as I backed up.
"H-How? When?" I asked and hit the wall behind me.
"Come on, Haru. I know you're high, but when was the only time I've come here? Hm?" Yuu said with a patronizing tone.
That day I came back from Tatsuya's house. When I wasn't there, he planted it. I start to panic.
"I-Is there anymore?" I asked as he crawled on top of me and sat on my lap. My breathing starts to pick up.
"Hm~ I'm not sure?" He vaguely answered before starting to pull my shirt's collar to expose my shoulder.
"Stop!" I yelled as I grabbed his hand.
"Don't be so loud, boys!" Grandma's voice cut through.
"Tch." Yuu clicked his tongue and pulled back. "Can't let that old bat get in my way." He hissed as he got off me, but I barely registered in my mind.
I unconsciously moved my knees closer to my chest, while my hands held my head. I continue to mutter under my breath 'stop' and 'no.'
It hurts.
My head hurts.
I want to give up.
I don't want to do this anymore.
I want to run away.
This isn't love.
This is disgusting.
This...
I...
...
I'm finally out.
###(Third Person POV)###
Yuu laughed as Haruka moved her knees closer to her chest.
"Cute~" He softly admired.
When Haruka didn't respond and started to mutter under her breath, he got curious and moved closer to her.
"Stop... Stop it... No... This isn't..."
Yuu becomes confused. This wasn't what he expected.
He thought she would glare back or something.
Yuu tried to grab Haruka's arm but stopped halfway. He takes a step back from surprise.
Haruka stopped muttering and lowered her hands from her head.
She then smiled.
But unlike the smiles Yuu has seen before, this one was different. Way different. One that Yuu never thought Haruka would make.
The smile was like one of a crazed beast that was finally released from their cage.
Yuu broke out of his stupor when 'Haruka' looked at him.
"Yuu right? I'm so glad that you did this. It's been so long you know." 'Haruka' stood up and started to inspect 'her' body.
"She never was stressed enough to call for me after becoming older."
"What are you-"
"Honestly, I would thank you, but I probably wouldn't remember this anyway." 'Haruka' stepped closer to Yuu as 'she' talked.
"Hell, I don't even know if I'll even stay out here."
"Who ar-"
"Shh~" 'Haruka' moved 'her' finger over Yuu's lips. "It's rude to interrupt me. I'm in the middle of my monologue."
Yuu slapped 'Haruka' hand away and glared at 'her.' "Who are you?"
'Haruka' smiled and backed off. "That's not really any of your business. You should leave now though."
Yuu doesn't want to. He NEEDS to know the reason for this sudden shift in personality. Haruka never showed any signs of this.
'Haruka' walked over to 'her' desk. "Don't worry, I'll put the cream on, but I'd really like for you to leave now."
"I'm not-"
"Otherwise I may accidentally cut my face with this pencil." 'Haruka' picked up one of the sharper pencils on 'her' desk and moved it close to 'her' face.
Yuu's face darkened considerably. "Are you threatening me?"
"What?! Threatening you?! Why I would never!" 'Haruka' gasped in shock and covered 'her' mouth with 'her' hand. "All I'm saying is that there might be an accident. That's all."
"You... Tch. Fine, I'll leave." Yuu placed the ointment on the floor. "But make sure you use this."
"Of course, of course." 'Haruka' clasped 'her' hands together and smiled, looking happy and cute.
But to Yuu, he felt the opposite. It was unnatural to him. This is definitely not Haruka.
Yuu wanted to stay, but he can't have this 'Haruka' ruin her cute face.
"I'm leaving." Yuu opened the door and left the room, not before giving 'Haruka' a long look.
"Bye-bye." 'Haruka' waved goodbye.
As soon as the door shuts, the smile on 'Haruka's face disappears. 'She' immediately went to 'her' desk and pulled out a notebook.
'She' started to write what happened in it. After all, 'she' might not remember what happened because of the drug Yuu used.
Once 'she' finished writing everything down, 'Haruka' picked up the ointment and went to the bathroom.
After that, 'she' went to sleep. There's no point in staying up any longer, especially when the drug is still active. Might as well just sleep off the drug.
###('Haruka's POV)###
I open my eyes to the dark, quiet night.
I'm still here.
I suppose 'she' wants me to stay until I fix this yandere problem.
I should probably check how 'she' is right now.
Looks like 'she's in 'her' safe space, sleeping for now.
It might take a few days for 'her' to wake up. It mostly depends on how stressed 'she' became.
Checking my memories, surprisingly I still remember what happened.
Did the drug not work or something?
Who cares, this works in my favor.
Well, the first order of business, check for any more hidden cameras.
*Beep*
Or not.
I grabbed 'her' phone that I put to charge before I went to sleep.
Well, I suppose it's my, or is it our, phone now.
I checked the messages I received.
Oh, I got messages from 3 people.
AkiRawr: Yo. just checking up on ya~ U doing ok?
Ice King: How is your health? I need to know if you can make it tomorrow.
Y: Thnx for today~ I had a lot of fun! ^v^
This... This is surprising.
I suppose Yuu thought the drugs would have removed me and 'she' would return.
Too bad for him, his wish didn't come true.
Hm...
Should I play with him?
Let's text Tatsuya first.
Ah right, I'll have to be 'her.' It shouldn't be too hard.
You: I'm fine, but I think I need to refrain from anything physically requiring my shoulders.
Just as I was going to tap the back button, ellipses appeared, signaling Tatsuya was currently typing.
That was fast. Is he not busy right now?
Ice King: I see. You can still write, correct?
You: I can.
Ice King: Good. We'll continue tomorrow. My pace was much slower when you were absent.
I raise my eyebrow. That last sentence was weird. I hope he keeps this business only.
Otherwise, I might have to end this partnership.
It would be a shame since I want the money.
You: Ok. I'll try my best tomorrow.
Ice King: Yes, I expect you to make up for missing yesterday. We'll be doubling the pace tomorrow. be prepared.
Hm... It seems like he only has his eyes on business. I suppose I was overthinking.
Still keeping an eye on him though.
You never know with these yanderes.
Ice King: Go to bed early today, so that you are rested for tomorrow. Goodnight.
You: Yes, sir. Goodnight to you as well.
Time for Yuu. I can't wait to play with him.
You: Hey, I can't seem to remember much after lunch? It's weird.
It took him a minute to reply. I snicker to myself. He's happy that 'she's back.
Y: Oh! That's because the chocolates had some narcotics laced in. (^^;)>
... Wait what?
Did he really just admit it like that? And to 'her' too?!
I...
Forget it, one simply can't understand how a yandere thinks.
Y: I found out I accidentally put some in after I came back. See, the powders in our house are stored together, and I mistook some things, haha~
You: Wait, why do you have narcotic powder? And that doesn't explain why I can't remember anything??
I want to ask something else, but I have to act like 'her.' I don't want the game to end so early after all.
Y: You take sleep medication if you can't sleep, right? That's all it is. My parents have it to help them.
Y: Also, you passed out. You ate most of the chocolates. after all! How could you remember anything if you were unconscious, silly~ XD
God, I want to laugh my ass off right now.
Oh wait, I am laughing my ass off.
Y: After you fell asleep, I put you to bed and left. I didn't want to disturb since you need to recover~ u.u
Oh no.
Calm down.
Take a deep breath.
Reign it in.
I can't laugh like a psychopath right now.
I still have to text back.
You: Oh, ok
Y: Don't worry! Next time I'll be extra careful! I promise!
Yeah, no thanks. I'm not eating any of your baking again.
You: I'm gonna go now.
Y: Aww~ Ok.
Y Sweet dreams, Haru!
You: u2
Ok, I can laugh now.
"PFT~ HAHAHEHAHAHe-"
"Be quiet!"
"Yes, Grandma."
After quietly laughing to myself, I texted my BFF.
You: I'm ok. My bruises turned purple-ish already. The edges are even turning yellow.
Should I bring up the camera? It's obvious that he broke the one from before.
He should be on my side.
AkiRawr: Wow. Its only been one day! U heal pretty fast! 0.0
You: I guess so <('-')>
AkiRawr: lol
You: Hey-
I stared at the screen as my thumbs hover over the keyboard.
He... He should be on my side right? I should just ask him about the camera.
AkiRawr: Hewwo??? I see that typing bubble. Smthing up?
Sigh, might as well. 'She' was curious about it too.
You: Hey, I found something interesting.
AkiRawr: ?
You: Something caught my eye in my trashcan, so I decided to take a closer look. Do you know what it was?
I saw the typing bubble pop up and away constantly for a few seconds.
Let me see if 'she' has a good best friend.
AkiRawr: So you saw it
That's it? After a minute of typing? Wow, your best friend is annoying.
You: Just so we're on the same page, say what it is.
AkiRawr: A camera
You: So it was you who found it.
AkiRawr: I did. I found it after you left and before your grandma came in.
You: Why didn't you tell me?
Again, the ellipses made a prolonged appearance.
AkiRawr: I didn't want to scare you even more. I already saw how distressed you were, and I didn't want to make it worse. I thought you wouldn't be able to take it.
That plan backfired though since I'm out.
AkiRawr: I was going to tell you later when you were less fragile.
AkiRawr: I didn't want you to cry again.
*Badump*
You: Really?
AkiRawr: Yes
AkiRawr: I just want the best for you, my best friend.
AkiRawr: This is serious, so I wanted your head to be clear before I told you.
*Badump*
AkiRawr: I wanted to tell you this in person, but since you already know about the camera...
AkiRawr: Haru, I'm here for you.
AkiRawr: I'll make sure whoever's stalking you doesn't get near you.
AkiRawr: I'll protect you. I swear.
*Badump*
You: Thank you.
AkiRawr:^-^
AkiRawr: U ok?
You: I'm fine. Just...
You: Happ-
*Backspace*
You: Worried
AkiRawr: Understandable
AkiRawr: If anything ever happens, don't be afraid to call me. It doesn't matter what time or what I'm doing, I'll pick up. Ok?
*Badump*
You: Ok. Thanks again.
AkiRawr: You don't need to thank me. Just be careful and feel better, ok?
You: kk
AkiRawr: Good! Now get a good night's sleep! c=
You: I will. Goodnight.
AkiRawr: Sweet dreams, Haru.
I put my phone face down.
...
This...
This is the love between best friends.
This is nice.
This isn't what I wanted, but I don't mind keeping it.
I don't mind this kind of love.
Since you were the one that started this, I'll keep this love all to myself.
