(Unrelated Note: I'm excited to finally announce that project I've been working on! It's a My Hero Academia fic! Pretty much, the premise is about Midoriya being born with a Quirk. I know, boring right? Well, I've seen fics about him getting plenty of Quirks, but I haven't seen one fleshed out about him getting telekinesis from his mother. Let's just say that it works pretty well in tandem with the Quirk of a certain brunette cinnamon roll, and the two get along even better than in canon! Like, their Quirks are a bit overpowered together. I've pre-written through the USJ Arc, but that's all that there is so far. I'll start posting at the end of next week, if you're interested. If not, then I hope you enjoy this chapter of DDLC: The Most Important Person!)

(Related Note: A recent comment actually kinda made me want to tell you guys about something relating to 'what could have been'. I actually planned to have Yashiro and Monika together at first, since she's lonely and I thought Yashiro would immediately go for the prettiest/most popular girl there. It wouldn't have lasted long though, since Monika is looking for 'real' love, and Yashiro would've eventually gotten close to Natsuki anyways. Decided to cut it out in favor of brevity.)

I do not own Doki Doki Literature Club or any of the characters portrayed in this story.

Eviction

Get out, that place is spoken for.

Get out, I've lost hope that you'll just fade.

Get out, let me show you the door.

Get out, because another tenant's paid.

Get out, I'm too tired of hiding you away.

Get out, so I can take shelter in a rainy day.

Get out of my head, get out of my head, get out of my head.

Get out of my heart, so that he can live there instead.

Sayori gives me her poem first. Really, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of symbolism, and it's pretty short, although I can't say mine is any different. It still hits me pretty heavily though, considering what she's been going through. But what does this mean exactly? Is she just talking about her depression, or is there something else going on in her head? At least it seems optimistic, I think. I mean, it's been 3 days since she wrote this and a lot's happened, so I don't really know if it applies now anyways. I look at her, but she's just looking down at the ground as she sits next to me on the bed.

"Hey Sayori," I say, putting an arm around her shoulders. "I like this one."

"Y-You do?" she asks, looking up at me a bit timidly. "I-I kinda forgot what I wrote it about, since a lot's happened in between."

"What did you want to get out?" I ask, lifting up my hand to brush the ends of her hair.

"The... negativity, I think?" Her brow furrows in concentration. "Self-doubt, all that."

"Has it gotten out?"

"Maybe some of it."

"Hey babe," I whisper, lightly pushing her cheek to look at me.

"Y-Yeah?" Sayori looks up at me, her eyes glistening a little bit.

"I'll push the negativity out myself." I lean in and meet her lips with mine. "No matter what it takes, okay?"

"Y-Yeah," she says, nodding her head and smiling at me. "C-Can I see yours?"

"Sure," I say, leaning down and pulling the piece of paper out of my folder. "Here you go."

Tomorrow

Yesterday might be good

Filled with memories

Where you once stood

Void of injuries.

Yesterday might be miserable

Filled with regrets

Where you might have stumbled

Failed all life's tests.

Yesterday cannot be changed,

It is about absolute fact.

No matter the force's domain,

What's done is just that.

To look forward and determine your fate

Is the only force that exists,

For tomorrow was meant to be shaped

By our humble human fists.

Sayori reads it and smiles, before reading it a second time. Then she hands it back to me without saying anything.

"Well?" I inquire, trying to read her smiling face.

"Well, what do you want tomorrow to be?" She asks, scooting closer to me and putting her arms around my middle.

"... Happy," I answer after a few moments, putting my arms around her and pulling her into a snug embrace.

"Ehehe~... Well, I liked your poem," she sighs into my shoulder as she pulls herself closer. "Because it's true, y'know?"

"Yeah, I guess it was just on my mind at the time," I say softly through her hair that's pressed up against my lower face. "So, in the interest of making tomorrow a great day, let's prepare you some more for that test."

"You're the worst, ehe~," she sighs with a tiny giggle.

"No, the worst is whoever doesn't do good on their exams."

"You're a meanie."

"You're a dummy."

"Ehehe~," Sayori giggles again as she tilts her head up and kisses me. "If it'll make you happy."

"It will," I say as I pet the top of her head with my hand.

"Alrighty!" Sayori hops off of the bed and grabs some notes out of her backpack. "Parts of speech and punctuation, bleh."

"You need to learn English Sayori. Might as well do it right."

"Yeah, whatever whatever. Let's just get it over with."

–30 minutes later–

"Done!" Sayori exclaims, falling back on her bed. "All done for the night!"

"Good job, I'm proud of you babe," I praise as I zip up my own backpack. "You've earned some relaxation time."

Sayori already has her phone out. "Wow, I didn't realize that I haven't been on my phone that much recently! I've missed a lot!"

"What's up?" I ask, sitting down next to her on the bed.

"Nothing, it's just something that Juiyo posted," she dismisses. "Hey, did you know that camels eat cacti?"

"Why would I know that?" I ask, before realizing what she said. "Wait, they eat cacti?"

"Yeah. Apparently their mouths are hard, so it doesn't hurt them. Weird, right?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, there's someone who's swimming all the way from Japan to San Francisco in America! That's neat!"

"Access the entire Pacific? Sorry, but I'm not buying that."

"Really, look! See?" Sayori shows me a news article about it on her phone.

"He's not gonna make it there," I say, shrugging. "It just can't be done all at once."

"Boo, you have no faith!"

"It's not gonna happen."

"Well..." Sayori flicks her screen a few times. "Aha! There was an asteroid that hit Earth a couple of days ago! Cool, huh?"

"I guess. Are you just looking at headlines?"

"Yeah, kinda."

"Well, I guess I'll just be on my phone too."

We end up laying next to each other on the bed on our phones for about another hour. The whole time, we're showing each other funny things on our phones and engaging in general conversation. Such conversation topics include the new club members, a little bit of speculation on Natsuki and Yashiro (which Sayori wholeheartedly disapproves of), and plenty of other things. Sayori also gets onto her computer and we watch a few of the trending YouTube videos. It's the kind of lazy evening that one might imagine in some far off perfect world, except that it's real. I'm fortunate enough to be able to do this with the girl that I love. Of course life isn't ever perfect for anyone, but right now it feels like it is. I look up at the time on my phone, and frown at the late hour.

"We should probably go to bed," I sigh, standing up.

"Eh? Oh yeah, I guess."

"Your mom said we could sleep together from now on, right?"

"Yeah, she did. I'm glad, ehehe~" Sayori hugs me from behind and almost pushes me out of the room. "Do you want a water?" she asks, walking toward the kitchen.

"Yeah, thanks babe," I say, grinning at her.

"Yuh-huh," she confirms giddily, making her way to the fridge.

"So, are you two going to sleep?" Mrs. Saitō asks, suddenly appearing from the living room.

"U-Uh, yeah, we are," I stutter, knowing fully well that she doesn't like the idea.

"Well I hope you both get a full, restful night of sleep. Got it?"

"Yeah, I know. We're both sleeping soundly tonight."

Mrs. Saitō stares me down for a moment, before nodding her head. "I'm going to bed too. Goodnight." Sayori returns with the waters, and her mother gives her a big hug and kiss on the forehead before bidding her goodnight as well.

"Let's change and brush our teeth," I say, taking a water bottle from Sayori and drinking from it.

"Alright, one sec," Sayori says before walking into her room and closing the door.

I take the cue to walk into the guest bedroom and change into my own pajamas. I plug my phone in and go to the bathroom, where Sayori meets me and we brush our teeth. Once we're done, I follow Sayori into her bedroom.

"Ooh, I'm beat," she sighs, sitting down on her bed. She smiles at me with a tiny blush visible on her face. "I'm so glad Mom is letting us sleep together."

"Yeah, me too," I say, crawling across to the other side of the bed. "Before anything else, set the alarm."

"Right," she says with a giggle and leans over to set the alarm on her phone.

I look down at the pillow, and notice that the pig plushie that I got her is sitting on it. Which is weird, because I didn't notice it while I was in here all afternoon. I grin as I look at it, because it really is more than just a plushie, like Sayori said when we first got it. It represents more than that to her, so it means more to me too. When Sayori turns back around from setting the alarm, she picks up the pig, gives it a kiss, and sits it with the yellow bird she has on the windowsill.

"I don't need that tonight," she sighs as she lays down and hits the light switch, which is conveniently right next to her bed. "I have you."

"You slept with that last night?" I ask as I feel her arms wrap around me, then wrap mine around her.

"Well, I tried to," she giggles. "I ended up going to your room anyways."

"I'm glad that you did," I whisper before pulling her closer and kissing her. "I want you to always be as happy as possible."

"Ehehe~, that's easy if I'm with you," she replies softly before leaning back in and kissing me.

We end up laying there, holding and kissing each other for a while. I don't know how long, and I really don't know why either. Whether we didn't want to stop, or we didn't know how to, or maybe we just didn't know what the other wanted. But eventually, I pull from her lips and hug her tightly, putting my head over her shoulder.

"We should go to sleep," I whisper, breathing a little heavily and pressing my cheek against hers.

"Y-Yeah," she says, also breathing heavily. "Y-You're so warm, and comforting... You're like the world's best pillow, ehehe~"

"Yeah, you are too. Goodnight babe."

"Mhmhm, g'night babe," she mumbles, wrapping me tighter for a moment before loosening up. "Seeya in the mornin'..."

"Mm hm," I sigh, letting go of my consciousness and surrendering to our shared warmth.

(Notes: Alright so here's the deal. I have finals this week, so my next update will probably be a little delayed. After that, it's summer and I can dedicate more time to this! Thanks for the continued support, it really means a lot. So next chapter will be Wednesday morning. I'm probably going to keep this going until Saturday, which will be Sayori's next therapist appointment. Seems like a good place to leave it, although a single week might not be exactly enough time to handle the rest of the club like I'll probably want to (I don't know, I'm still making this up as I go). As always, feedback and input are greatly appreciated, and I'll see you in the next update!)
