Doki Doki Literature Club: Trying My Best

Chapter 10

Saturday

Waking up to the sun's beams shining across my eyes, I sat up with a yawn. Moving to rub my eyes, I felt a resistance and looked down to see Sayori snuggled against my right hand. "You are too cute." I whispered softly as I gently kissed her forehead.

Trying to get my hand free, Sayori gripped tighter. "Mm... Not... -et..." she mumbled in her sleep.

Each small movement I made, Sayori would just clamp down on my wirst harder. "...okay..."

"Heheh." I looked to the source of the chuckle and saw Natsuki standing in the doorway, a wide grin on her face.

"Ah, good. Little help?" I asked.

She looked up in thought before looking back to me and shook her head. "Nah. I wanna see how you get outta this."

"Mmm." I growled in annoyance. "Fine." I reached over and grabbed a small pillow. "Harrison Ford, don't fail me now." lining up the pillow, I quickly removed my hand from Sayori's grasp and replaced it with the pillow. Sayori just hummed in her sleep as she nuzzled against it.

Looking to Natsuki, I opened my mouth to say something but she quickly cut me off. "Breakfast!"

Sayori bolted out the door in a pink blurr. Glaring at the cupcake creator, I crossed my arms. "You couldn't have just said that?"

"Nope. I like seeing you squirm." she giggled as she left.

I growled again in annoyance. "I'll give you something to squirm about."

Just as I said that, Natsuki poked her head around the corner. "One: That's what she said. And two: Can't wait." and again, she left.

"Ah, uh, wha-?" I was at a loss for words. "Tha-that's not what I meant!" getting out of bed, I headed for the door.

Pausing at the doorway, my mind began to wander.

Yesterday

"You're sure you're okay with this?" Natsuki asked Sayori.

We stood inside of my home, talking to Sayori about what me and Natsuki discussed.

"Yeah. I don't mind." Sayori replied, rubbing her arm as her face turned a bright shade of pink. "I mean, I get it. A lot happened in the time I was...unconscious. What happened with your dad...Jack offering you a place to stay. Honestly, it would have been a surprise if you two didn't fall for each other."

"And...you're okay with sharing?" I asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Present

I was pretty surprised how well Sayori took the whole matter.

Heading downstairs, Sayori and Natsuki were at the table, eating eggs and french toast. "Smells delicious."

"Eit tashtsh jusht ash gud!" Sayori said with a mouthful of food. Me and Natsuki both stared at Sayori, wondering what she just said. Swallowing her food, she went to take another bite but noticed us staring. "What?"

"Don't talk with your mouth full!" Natsuki growled.

Sayori glanced at me and I just shrugged before grabbing my fork and began to eat.

"Hey, Jack?" Natsuki said softly.

"What's up?"

"The food's kind of running out. Could you make a run to the store?" she asked.

"Right now?" I asked.

"Yep." she turned to me and handed me a piece of paper. "This is everything we need."

I read over the items I need to pick up but noticed something at the bottom in all capital letters. "Cookies?" I asked.

"What?" Natsuki reached for the list but jumped as Sayori squealed.

"Yes! We need cookies! We need cookies! Like, we really, really need cookies!" Sayori said quickly.

Me and Natsuki just looked at each other before shrugging. "Guess you can grab a box of cookies as well."

"Alright." I got ready, grabbed my jacket, and headed for the door. "Be back in a bit."

Climbing into my mom's car, I drove to the store.

Minutes later

Standing in one of the aisles, I read the list and grabbed a box of brownie mix, tossing it in the cart. Heading for the next aisle, I stopped when I heard someone say my name. "Jack?"

I looked back and saw Yuri a few feet away. "Oh, hey. What's up, Yuri?" I asked.

She rubbed her arm a bit. "I..uh, wha..." she paused. "H-how's Sayori?"

"She's fine." I replied. "It's been half a day and already she seems to be doing pretty well."

"That's good..."

"She's at my house right now. Once I'm done here, I can drive you over to see her." I said.

"I'd appreciate that."

"Okay then."

Walking through the aisles with Yuri, I found everything else I needed, paid, and went back to the car. Climbing into the driver's seat, Yuri got into the passenger seat and I started heading back home. About halfway there, I saw Yuri look at me out of the corner of my eye. I also noticed she had her phone in her hands. "Hey, Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"What's your address?" she asked.

Thinking nothing of it, I told her where I live.

After a few minutes of driving, we finally arrived at my house. "Head on in." I told Yuri. "I'll grab the groceries."

She left the car as I grabbed and carried the groceries inside. Placing them in the kitchen, I heard the others talking. Natsuki, Yuri and Sayori were talking about cupcakes and books, but I heard a fourth voice as I walked into the living-room. "I'm happy the Literature Club is back to it's usual state."

Monika was sitting with the others in a small circle on the floor. "Monika?" I asked, surprised. "W-what're you doing here?"

"Yuri texted me." she replied. "Said we were meeting here for a reunion since Sayori missed school yesterday. Why? Do you want me to leave?"

"No! It's just...Yuri didn't inform me she texted you. It just surprised me a bit that you're here." I replied.

"Come on!" Sayori beckoned me over. "Sit."

I did as told and sat down between Natsuki and Sayori. "What should we do?" Yuri asked.

"Me, Sayori and Jack are watching a show." Natsuki said. "We could make it a regular weekend thing."

"Really?" Monika asked. "What show?"

"Supernatural." Sayori answered.

"Sounds interesting." Yuri said softly.

"And after a few episodes we can play a game!" Sayori shouted happily.

"So, what, is this a sleepover or something?" I asked. "I mean, it's pretty late."

"Great idea!" Monika clapped her hands together. "We can all spend the night here!"

"That's not what I-"

"Yaaay!" Sayori cheered.

I sighed in defeat. "I have a strange feeling about this...doesn't exactly look good to have a bunch of cute girls stay at your house."

End of chapter 10

(Sorry for taking forever to update this story. Had a bit of writer's block for the longest time. But I have a few ideas for this fic and I am leaning a bit more towards it being a harem. UwU)
