章 36: Unmasked

"Uwah, thank you." Yuu embarrassingly accepted my statement as a compliment.

"Pft, what are you thanking me for? I'm just stating facts." I giggled as I intertwined our hands. "You have no idea how many people would want to do this with you." I said as I held up our interlaced fingers and swayed our hands in the air.

"That's doesn't matter. Do you want to do this, Haru?" Yuu lightly squeezed my hand.

"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't want to?" I scrunched my eyebrows together. Yuu blinked before laughing out loud.

"Haha, right, right." Yuu happily grinned as he stared lovingly at me.

Aww, he is cute, haha~

I smiled like an idiot.

"You really are cuter, you know?" I giggled. Yuu lightly blushed.

"W-Well, I think you're the cuter one." Yuu looked at me like I would at a cute puppy. I laughed.

"Then, thank you." I grinned and squeezed his hand back.

"Haru?"

"Yeah?"

"Could we take a picture?" Yuu suddenly asked as he pulled out his phone.

"Huh? Why?" I bluntly asked as I put our hands down.

"Oh, uhm." Yuu looked like he wasn't expecting that answer. "B-Because, I want one." He said while obviously embarrassed.

"Hmmm." I tilted my head.

I don't really want to, but I don't know why?

"Please~ You're just so cute! And I want to remember this moment!" Yuu pleaded with the embarrassment from before gone.

"Ehhh." I cringed.

"If you let me, I'll leave sooner and stop bothering you." Yuu suggested as he tightened his hold on my hand. "Please, Haru~"

"...Fine." I relented with pout. Yuu quickly hopped up to sit beside me.

"Look at the camera and smile." Yuu beamed as he held up his phone. "Cheese!"

I gave a small smile along with a peace sign. Yuu smiled big and wrapped his arm around me, placing his hand on my upper arm, careful of my shoulder.

*Click*

Yuu immediately looked at the photo.

"Let me see, too!" I leaned over to see his screen.

The selfie came out decent, though I looked like a potato next to Yuu's bright smile.

"Geez, see. I told you you're cuter." Feeling defeated, I groaned as I placed my chin on his shoulder. "Don't send me it. It'll just make me feel bad."

"..."

"Yuu?" I lifted my head slightly and turned to look at him.

When I did, our noses brushed against each other.

I could clearly see my brown eyes reflected in his shining auburn ones.

For some reason, I started to feel anxious. The pit of my stomach churned uncomfortably.

Before I could pull back, Yuu pushed forward.

And next thing I know, our lips touched.

I sat there frozen as Yuu pressed his lips on mine. His eyes never left mine.

Uhm, uh, er—

Before I could think anything coherent, he pulled back the next second and smiled.

"Haha, I bet you would've had a more extreme reaction if you weren't so subdued." Yuu gently placed a hand on my cheek. "This is why I don't like using substances. But, at least you'll forget this happened, or you wouldn't come near me again." He softly spoke as he tenderly rubbed my cheek with his thumb.

What's he talking about? I can't keep up. It's like there's dense fog in my brain preventing any clear thoughts.

Yuu could probably tell because he chuckled.

"Don't worry~ I've had my fun for today! Hehe." He placed his other hand on my other cheek and pulled me forward as he leaned forward so that our foreheads touched. "You've been ignoring me lately, so this is only fair."

"I'm sorry." The words spilled out like a reflex. Yuu giggled and shook his head slightly.

"Haha, so cute. I bet the others don't appreciate it as much as I do." Yuu's hands slid down to my hold my hands. "Why don't you just come with me, Haru? We can have lots of fun together."

I wanted to get away, but Yuu's hands held me down.

Woah, he's stronger than I thought!

"B-But, you'll hurt me." I shut my eyes tight in fear. "I don't wanna die."

...

After a moment of silence, I felt something soft touch my eyelid and then the other, but his hands never left mine. I opened my eyes to see what it was, but I only saw Yuu's face.

"You know more than I thought, Haru-chan~" Yuu's smile didn't reach his eyes and his voice was cold. "How can that be?"

A shiver ran down my spine.

He sighed.

"This only makes it harder for you to be mine. Looks like I have my work cut out for me. Not only are you surrounded by disgusting shit stains, but you, yourself, are an obstacle." Yuu said as he shook his head dejectedly.

Abruptly, he grabbed my chin and pulled me forward as he leaned in towards my ear.

"I'll just have to break you, too."

He whispered before pulling back and smiling like an angel.

"But, since someone else already marked you, I'll have to wait until it disappears." He gazed at my shoulder and softly touched it. "I don't want a defective toy, after all. I even prepared some medication to help fix you up faster."

Everything he was saying was too much for me to digest. I couldn't say or do anything except blankly stare at him.

Yuu pinched my cheek with a cheeky grin.

"Don't look so dull! It's doesn't suit you!" Yuu playfully tugged my cheek.

"Sorry." Again, it came out automatically.

Yuu's expression turned dark.

"Just like I thought, these kinds of drugs are no fun." Yuu said with a scowl. "But, I'll need them to claim you." He sighed defeatedly.

"Anyway!" Yuu slipped a smile on again. "Let's take off your shirt, so I can put this on~" he suddenly said as he pulled out a cream from his bag.

I jumped back to life.

"No! I can do it myself!" I almost screamed as I jerked back and held my shirt.

"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 this 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 other 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-Is there anymore?" I asked as he crawled on top of me and sat on my lap.

"Hm~ I'm not sure?" He vaguely answered before starting to pull my shirt's collar to the side 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.

I pulled my knees up and hugged them to protect myself.

Yuu laughed.

"Cute~" He softly admired.

I glared.

"Haha, you're still adorable even when you glare at me, Haru-chan~" Yuu giggled before sighing. "Look, I'll leave after I know you've put this on." He held out the ointment.

"How can I believe you?" I growled. Yuu kept his smile.

"You can't, but it doesn't hurt to try, does it? If you're lucky, I'll leave." Yu coaxed as he waved the container around. "Your choice."

I glared at him for a few more seconds before snatching the cream.

"Good girl." Yuu praised. "Or should I say boy? Haha~"

"Shut up." I stood up. "I'm putting it on in the bathroom." Yuu nodded with a smirk and shooed me away.

I did as instructed and returned.

"Let me check." Yuu commanded as he stood up with his bag.

"Go ahead." I had rolled up my sleeves beforehand, so it wasn't any problem.

"Hmm." Yuu looked throughly at both before smiling. "Good. With this, it should be gone within a few days. The bruising is already darkening." He commented with satisfaction.

"You're leaving, right?" I said with clear hostility.

Yuu shivered and his pupils dilated.

It made me feel disgusting for some reason, and I unconsciously stepped back.

"S-Sadly, yes. I'll go." Yuu deflated. "You'll see me out, won't you?" He turned to leave.

"Wait." I grabbed his shoulder. He turned back around. "You didn't plant anymore cameras, right?"

Yuu simpered, undoubtedly enjoying my despair.

"No matter what I say, you won't believe me, right?" Yuu shot back. I stilled. He laughed. "Let's just go, okay?"

Yuu peacefully said his goodbye to Oba-san and left.

...

What happened? What's happening? Something feels...off?

...I shrugged.

Whatever. Today's Sunday, so I'm gonna enjoy some anime! It's been awhile since I watched any!

I ended up falling asleep during my marathon, and when I woke up, I was very confused.

Oh my, our first kiss scene~ Fufufu~

We also have another person confirmed to know Haru's gender! That's 2 out of 4~

I hoped you all enjoyed seeing Yuu's true nature appear unrestricted and in action! I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, hehe.

Man, I swear this story has its own agenda. I wanted to slow things down, but things just keep ramping up! Even in the coming chapters~

Look foward to it~ >:3

章 37: Texts

Uh, why is it evening already? Did I fell alseep? That's weird, I usually never nap for this long. A sugar crash? Maybe, haha.

...

Yeah right!

Yuu put something in those chocolates, didn't he! That little snake!

But, what? Also, I don't really remember what happened? I just vaguely remember feeling relaxed and carefree?

I don't feel like anything bad happened... Maybe he was just testing something on me?

That's still really bad!

This drug made me forget what happened in the time span it was active, gave me a fluffy feeling, and tired me out. What else? Was there any other affect? Shit! I don't know! Because I don't fucking remember!

...

Dear God, why do I have to experience abuse yesterday and drugs today?

What's up with that load of bullshit!?

Fuck!

...

Things are getting dangerous. I realized that when Ryuu hurt me, but why is everything suddenly exploding now!? It's like Ryuu's action was the turning point!?

At this rate, how long do I have left until someone gets unbearably possessive? How long until I end up fulfilling someone's ending?

Just how high are Yuu's and Ryuu's affection meters!? How fast are they filling up!? And why!?

Dammit! Can I just run away?

No, at this point, they'd find me no matter where I went.

"I won't let you leave me."

"How can I make you like me more?"

Yeah, definitely pass the point of escape.

...

Damn this dumbass motherfucking shit!!!

Hah...

I never thought to reform Yuu. Is that even a possibility within this realm? His... obsession isn't like the others. There's no real, deep rooted problem to his psychotic mentally unlike the other two. He's actually simple and straight to the point.

He likes cute things.

He also likes eliciting reactions from them to fawn over.

That's it.

At least, from what I know?

Maybe there's more to it that wasn't mentioned? Or maybe more was revealed about Yuu in the secret route? Possibly, though unlikely.

...I don't wanna get near him thoughhhhh. He makes me the most uncomfortable! He's also the type I can't handle the most!

*Beep*

What is it now?

I reluctantly grabbed the device and flipped it over to see the screen.

Oh, I got messages from 3 people.

Lovely. Just what I needed right now.

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^

Ah, who to start with.

I sighed out loudly as I started typing a reply.

You: I'm fine, but I think I need to refrain from anything physically requiring my shoulders.

I sent Tatsuya a message first since I expected it to be a quick exchange.

Just as I was going to tap the back button, ellipses appeared, signaling Tatsuya was currently typing.

Woah, so 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 blinked.

Oh. Wasn't that last sentence implying he needed me? Also, isn't that unnecessary for him to type? So, why did he?

You: Ok. I'll try my best tomorrow.

Ice King: Yes, I expect you to makeup for missing yesterday. We'll be doubling the pace tomorrow. Be prepared. 

I felt my eye twitch.

What was I expecting? This is the Ice King who only has his eyes on business.

Ice King: Go to bed early today, so that you are rested for tomorrow. Goodnight.

You: Yes, sir. Goodnight to you as well.

I sighed before switching to Yuu. Might as well get him out of the way.

Hm, should I mention the memory loss? I wonder if he's expecting me to... He has to know I would realize something was wrong, so he must have some excuse prepared.

You: Hey, I can't seem to remember much after lunch? It's weird.

Y: Oh! That's because the chocolates had some narcotics laced in. (^^;)>

My jaw dropped instantly.

...What?! 

H-He just straight out admitted it? Just like that? Not even a try at an excuse?

But, narcotics? Huh? Isn't that like painkillers or sleeping pills? Why can't I remember anything then?

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??

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

Huh? Was that it? Really? I do remember eating a lot, and if it was sleeping powder, then the symptoms do make sense, I think...

I can't know for sure, but there's nothing I can do to check. It already happened, and I don't think I'm harmed anymore than I already was. I'll just go with his story and be careful of food from Yuu from now on.

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

You: Oh, ok 

Y: Don't worry! Next time I'll be extra careful! I promise!

He plans to make more? After drugging me!?

You: You better. If this happens again, I won't eat your baking anymore.

Y: It won't! I swear! ;~;

You: Ok

Y: Hehe! 

You: I'm gonna go now.

Y: Aww~ Ok. 

Y: Sweet dreams, Haru!

You: u2

Hah. Well, at least it wasn't aphrodisiacs or something like that.

Finally, Mr. BFF has been waiting.

You: I'm ok. My bruises turned purple-ish already. The edges are evening turning yellow.

Maybe I should bring up the camera, I wonder what his reaction will be.

That also reminds me that I'll need to check around the house for anymore hiding around.

As I contemplated, Akira responded.

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 hovered over the keyboard.

It... wouldn't hurt to ask, right? The worse thing he could do is act oblivious, I think...

AkiRawr: Hewwo??? I see that typing bubble. Smthing up?

I bit my lip as I finished typing.

You: Hey, I found something interesting.

AkiRawr: ?

I typed the message. As I read it over, I wondered if this was the right move.

AkiRawr: Uh, was it smthing weird?

I squeezed my eyes shut and pressed the send button.

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.

It only made me more anxious as I waited.

AkiRawr: So you saw it

After a minute of typing, and that's all I get? I scrunched my eyebrows.

You: Just so we're on the same page, say what it is.

AkiRawr: A camera

I swallowed hard.

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. My nerves grew shakier with each passing second.

AkiRawr: I didn't want to scare you even more. I already saw how destressed you were, and I didn't want to make it worse. I thought you wouldn't be able to take it.

My eyes widened when I read his message.

AkiRawr: I was going to tell you later when you were less fragile.

AkiRawr: I didn't want you to cry again.

My heart clenched.

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.

I laughed in shame as I looked at the sincere words.

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.

The words started to blur as tears welled in my eyes.

You: Thank you, Akira.

AkiRawr: ^-^

AkiRawr: U ok?

You: I'm fine. Just...

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?

I smiled pitifully.

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, Akira.

AkiRawr: Sweet dreams, Haru.

I smiled a little before scrolling up to read the messages again.

Akira's observation skills do have their upsides, huh?
