CHAPTER 21 HAS BEEN UPLOADED, SKIP THIS PART IF YOU WANT!
AN: Hey, everyone. Just putting this out here, as a placeholder for chapter 21. A few things I want to address. I honestly thought that this fanfic will never reach 100k words and will probably end around 50k. Right now, we have the Natsuki shopping spree, the beach scene (Which is going to be more 10k words), the Monika "date", and Sunday, to which I haven't decided what will happen there. All I know for sure, is that Monday is the final day, just like how the game "ends" at that point.
And to be honest, I never thought I would amass 70+ followers on this story, I thought this story will be there... drifting along and to be looked at by a few and left it where it is. Thanks for all the support, it really means a lot to me.
Before I start, I made the horrible mistake of misleading many on thinking that there was a fake Yuri. In fact, I forgot to put a valuable piece of info to prove that she was in fact the real one, but was affected by her. I am sorry for the confusion there. There is no fake Yuri, she was just "paralyzed" or "paused". Onto the reviews.
Quill, My bad, dude. I tend to that a lot, I know. I'm sorry if it pisses you off, that someone has to fuck up the scenes that were getting spicy. Hopefully when this chapter is out, there is going to interactions and development the "squad". Thanks for review, dude.
Oooooooooooo, did the copy and paste again! Thanks for liking the chapter!
Math, I gonna be real with you, I have no preferences on who the best girl is. Everyone is fair in their own right. Again, the self-deprecating person I am, there are far better fanfics out there. But still, I appreciate the compliment! Thank you!
Roast Lord, Sorry for the wait, my lord. Like I typed, that was the real Yuri. I fucked up on the explanation of what happened exactly. And hey the longer the chapter, the more content there is to analyze! Thanks for review and keep up your story writing, bud!
Storm, Yeah... my bad. That was the real Yuri. And Fuze? He's fucking awesome in every mode except hostage. Can't really Fuze the hostage... And to be real with you, I have never played FNAF... So I don't know any Freddy lines to reference. Sorry. But still, thanks for the review!
Tatana, Hey! Yeah, I didn't mean to flip the script, but I felt that it was something between them that needed resolving. Looking back at the chapter, the kissy-kissy scene needs more details, I'll try to work on that. Keep an eye out for hints and keep on reviewing!
ThunderAnt, I tried to make it realistic at first. But the realistic niche had to falter because of the story's title. It is a huge hint to the ending of the fanfic. And... You want a scene with the "SEX SEX WITH MON MON AND JAMESSS"? Did you mean Jones? Or James? Either way, thanks for the review.
Guardian, me-mis are a galore my kokujin, I'm trying to incorporate more subtle memes into the fray. I haven't taken a listen to the song yet, so I don't know yet. And also... SNAKE?! SNAKEEEEEE?!
Now you stay Cheeki Breeki, okay?
Remiboi, Yeah, I know! I took advantage of the day off to write this. To start off, Val or Frank is definitely losing perception on reality. That Vigil guy, is the only link left the reality, as shown by his dialogue. I did reference Jimbo, indeed! There's definitely going to be comic relief in the next chapter, hopefully the sexual tension between Yuri and Frank or Val will dissipate.
Expect some Natsuki, Sayori, and Tommy or MC interactions in the next chapter or the following chapter. Also, I try to make Val unintentionally flirt, he's a man that follows his heart. And his heart is such a flirt. His hyperventilation is just him, he said something out aloud that he didn't mean to say. Might be a clue to Val's feelings...
That "beast" of his? You nailed it completely, and I'm not saying a damn thing! Good job! Also that "beast" is not wholly responsible for making him enjoy his stay, and it is something that runs in him, his dad, and his brother. (Not yet, obviously...)
Monika has a deeper intention than being a thot. She's a really sinister character at times... Discount Vigil saved him, and you can say he's the guardian angel for Val. Lemme clear up something, the technician's name aXNuJ3QgRnJhbmsgRy4gcmF0aGVyIHNvbWV0aGluZyBjb21wbGV0ZWx5IGRpZmZlcmVudC4=
Still working on that 3rd ending! I'm still thinking on what to do on that! Thanks for your effort on making your review man! I love em!
Sharp-dressed, Well, they might be made for each other. They might not... Anyway, Monika is a really cunning character and can be possessive. Thanks for the review!
Boi, Alright, I will. I going to stop being self-effacing at this point. Thanks!
Unofficialalboy, Yup. Keep responding! Like I said, I don't mind!
That's all for now. Gonna be writing the chapter now!
3/27/18 AN: Sorry, for the delays. I will explain why this happened at the end of the chapter.
I look at the screen in bewilderment, completely confused by what just happened.
A few seconds ago, the screen started blaring a warning about how the AI was resetting the system without permission.
But now, the screen completely stopped blaring. It was showing a soft blue colored screen, with a loading bar that was slowly filling up.
What fixed it?
In fear, I took a look at the patient's and his rescuer's heartbeat sensors. They gave a steady beep as the machine continued to function.
Their vitals are still fine... I thought they died...
I leaned in for a closer look at the screen in front of me.
"Soft reset in progress... Please wait."
I let out an exhausted sigh and laid my head on the headrest as I spun around with my desk chair.
Okay, looks like the system has started a soft reset. Thank, God. That guy was ridiculously close to getting fucked by the AI.
They didn't see that, did they?
I turn my head to their friends. They were sitting on the bench, resting peacefully.
They're asleep, good...
I looked up at the ceiling in thought.
I made a mistake... This whole project is going to shit... If I hadn't modeled the AI after her, then this wouldn't have happen.
I don't even know how she got past the AI shackles... I made sure it was encrypted with 5 megabytes of data and had the most state-of-the art security services...
The fucking AI is just using the patient's friend as a plaything...
God damn it!
My phone vibrated as I received a call.
I pulled it out and I saw it was from the Director...
"Sir?"
"What's the progress on the recovery?" His shrewd tone made me flinch, it always has. He was never one for banter.
"Catastrophic, sir. The AI has gone rogue and very little progress has been done."
"And exactly how, did the AI go rogue? What happened to shackles?"
"I don't know, sir. The AI was able to breakthrough the shackles and has seized administrative privileges. I'm currently trying to fix that and jump start the progress."
I heard him grumble something. Something about the costs of leaks...
"Fix it quick then, technician. If the Project gets leaked in any way, it'll be your head. Goodbye."
He hung up.
I placed my face in my hands, in effort to calm myself from all the stress.
A few seconds later, I brought my face up partially from my hands and stared at the machine holding the two.
I don't know if I can live with this... I can't have two lives bearing on me...
I looked at the machine that was holding the two in there.
I have to keep going...
They're depending on me!
I got right back to work, but a glowing and strangely colored USB stick, distracted me.
I looked at the apricot colored USB stick that held the AI model on the table.
I picked it up and threw it out the window.
Fatigue
I feel so tired.
I don't have the strength to keep going...
All this fighting is making me weary...
I just want to sleep.
I don't want to fight for him anymore...
I can't do it...
I am so very...
Tired...
I was sitting down, my back against the wall.
I felt myself sleeping on someone's head. And that head was sleeping on my shoulder.
What's happening? Where am I?
I opened my eyes. My eyes felt as if they have been used for the first time. They burned as it finally received light.
My vision was extremely blurry. I blinked multiple times to clear the blurriness.
A few moments later, my eyes finally adjusted to the light.
I'm in school? Oh, yeah... I am.
I noticed a weight on my shoulder, soft sounds of someone breathing can be heard.
Who's sleeping on my shoulder?
I turn and see a girl with purple hair. My eyes widened at the sight...
Yuri?! What the hell?! How did she get here?! Why are we like this?!
I was going to wake her up, but then I realized what happens, if I do wake up a peacefully sleeping girl...
It's best if I just wait... There's no one in the hallway, anyway.
I carefully raise Yuri's head and place her on my lap. I grip her body so she could sleep peacefully, with her upper back on my lap and her face looking up.
She's so beautiful...
There was a small but neutral smile on her face while sleeping.
She's so cute when she's asleep... Her smile is almost identical to Monika's but this one has vibe that it is fresh... She looks, better without a frown on her face. She looks a lot more attractive.
Wait.
Attractive?!
The fuck?
I smile at the sleeping Yuri. I ran my hand down the side of her face, marveling at the beauty on my lap.
I couldn't help but lean in. I gave a kiss on the forehead.
Somehow, her small smile turned even brighter, as if she was finally content to sleep in peace.
I knew, that I made the right choice.
After a couple of minutes, she started shifting.
I thought she was going to wake up, but instead she moved closer, moving up my lap..
Woah! She's getting really close...
"Mmm..."
She then moved even closer, as if she was getting closer to source of warmth.
Uh oh... She's getting close to my...
Yuri unexpectedly dived into my crotch, nuzzling it.
"Aah!" I squealed as I jumped from the sudden contact.
"Mmm... So warm..." She mumbled in her sleep.
Her nose and cheek was caressing my "you-know-what".
I'm getting turned on from this...
It feels so weird...!
I partially recovered from my shock and carefully got my hands under her head, once more.
I picked her up and laid her further away from my crotch, placing her right above my knees.
She started whimpering when I did.
"M-m I'm sorry! Mmm...!"
I deadpanned at this.
She says sorry in her sleep too? Jesus.
"It's okay, Yuri. Jeez... Don't worry about it."
After a few moments later, I was able to completely recover from my shock. A few seconds later, got bored just sitting here and watching her sleep.
Okay... watching someone sleep is creepy, even if you're close to them...
I decided to run my hand down her hair, marveling in how blissful it felt on my hand.
And playing with their hair while sleeping is even more creepier. But...
Yuri's hair is so soft and smooth... No wonder she plays with it all the time.
I got a handful of her hair and squished it.
How do she even do it?
I brought a handful of hair and brought it to my nose.
I took a deep whiff of scent of her hair.
It smells like Lavender...
"Aah..." I let out, content with the smell.
Yuri started to breathing heavily as I played with her hair.
"N-no! P-please!"
I was now completely alert. I ran my hand down her hair, straightening any loose strands of hair, it acting as a calming effect to her.
"Shhh... Yuri, it's okay..." I soothingly reassured.
Her breathing eased just by a bit.
A couple of seconds later, her breathing hitched once again.
"Valkyrie... help me..."
My eyes widened.
What is she even dreaming about?
I don't like it...
I decided to change her dreams somehow.
I went up to her ear.
"I will help you. Don't worry. I'm there for you." I whispered.
I thought saying something to her during her sleep would alter the dream.
That works... right?
It calmed her down, just for a little while.
She started to whimper again.
"Please! Help..."
Yuri started to grip her hands as if she was holding something...
What is she even holding?
Deja Vu hit me like a truck. Whatever she was holding in her dream, it wasn't good...
Almost out of pure irrationality, I scoop her legs under my right arm and used my left arm to grip her sides. I picked her up and laid her on top of my lap. Her head was resting on my chest and she was sitting on my crotch.
Oh, the shit I do for friendships. I swear...
I hugged her close and whispered to her ear.
"I'm here, Yuri. I'm here to help you."
She gripped my uniform shirt, it's as if she was holding on to me, for dear life.
"P-please don't go..."
I squeezed her close.
"I won't leave you. I promise..."
She gave a hopeful smile that made me feel... happy.
Somehow, I lost control of my body.
Somehow, I've gotten closer to her face, closing my eyes as I approached closer.
And somehow, I found my lips on hers.
Wow...
They are soft... I can taste the Jasmine tea she probably had this morning... It tastes amazing...
My eyes shot up.
Wait! Hold the fuck up!
I pulled out of her lips hastily, leaving a trail of saliva between us.
I rub my mouth with the back of my hand, and stared at it.
Great.
Just fucking great.
Now I've done it.
I knew I would eventually kiss a girl, given how retarded I act around them.
But I never expected this to be my first kiss!
God, what's wrong with me?!
Fuck! What the hell's wrong with me?!
God, just end my life right now!
I've entered a territory that I can't get back out of!
Fuck!
...
Uh...
Does that mean... I like...
...
Yuri?!
She started to shuffle, meaning she was about to wake up.
"Mmmph..."
Oh, shit! Gotta act casual...
...
How do I even act casual?! I'm holding a sleeping girl (that I probably like), for God's sake!
Yuri yawned and rubbed her eyes as she finally woke up.
"What day is it...?" She asked as she stretched.
"Uh... Thursday?" I meekly responded.
"Thank you, my dear hero..."
Hero?
She stretched and yawned a bit more.
Her stretching hit my chin.
"Huh?" She looked up to me, drowsy from her nap.
Her eyes widened.
"AAAH! Where am I?!"
"Shhh!" I placed a finger on my lips, to emphasize the need to stay quiet.
"Valkyrie? What's happening? Where are we?!" She asked in a more hushed voice.
"Good morning to you too. We're in school, while we were just talking, you just fainted for some reason. So I waited for you to gain consciousness."
I lied.
I have no idea why we woke up here.
"I-I fainted? Where? Wait, what were we talking about?"
"Uh, you fainted outside the Calculus classroom. You were like a damsel in distress, so I got you in my arms and sat down here. I don't know really, I kind of forgot. The adrenaline hit me when you fainted, so everything before that was blur..."
Her eyes lit up.
"V-Valkyrie... You're my hero..."
She hugged me tightly.
I can feel her boobs~!
I let out a sigh of happiness as I felt her breasts distributed their warmth to my chest.
I didn't notice that I had a-
"Eh? Wh-what am I sitting on?"
"Um... on my lap?"
Uh, oh...
"R-really? Then what's poking my-"
"I don't know, really!" I cut off. "Now that you're awake, let's get up."
"O-Okay..."
Looks like she accepted the situation she has been placed in, with my lie...
God, I hate lying.
I got her in my arms. One arm was on her back and another arm was under her thighs, which was dangerously close to her butt.
I couldn't tell why, but I wanted to feel more of her...
Get a grip, you pervert!
"Are you ready to stand, Yuri?"
"Y-yes..."
I gently placed her down on her feet, to which she elegantly stepped on the floor and got her balance.
"Valkyrie, you are such a knight..." She commented once got to her feet.
"Heh, and they say chivalry is dead."
"Come, let's go inside. Monika is probably thinking that we skipped and stuff."
"Okay... But wait, before we go in..."
She walks up to me, her hips swaying to every step she takes.
I felt my heart race as she got closer to me.
Yuri grabs my arms and places them around her waist.
"Y-Yuri?"
She doesn't say anything, instead grins from my confusion. She reaches up to me and pulls on my neck.
Oh, God! Is she going to-
She simply kisses my cheek and looks up to me with those galaxy purple eyes, from a few inches away.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Valkyrie."
I can feel my face was burning up.
"Y-yeah, no problem, Yuri. Anytime!"
Why did I expect something more than a kiss to the cheek? Is it because I kissed her like a fucking idiot when she was sleeping? No... No... that can't be it.
But, God! That sounds messed up! Taking advantage of sleeping girl...
Gah, I am Satan's servant at this point!
I'm so screwed...
"Valkyrie?"
"Huh?! What? What's wrong?"
"You were zoning out... It made me worried."
"I'm fine. Don't worry, Yuri." I walk up to the door and opened it.
"Shall we?" I motioned her to enter.
She giggled from my chivalrous actions.
"Hehe! We shall." She walks in.
I walk in soon after, ogling her butt as she walked.
"Ah! There you two are!"
We look up to the voice ahead of us. I had difficulty, for... reasons.
It was Monika, and she had a better mood than before.
"Hey, Mon! Sorry about that." I greeted.
"It's fine! Now Yuri, can you help me grade the papers?"
"Of course." Yuri then turned around and winked at me, as she helped Monika grade the papers.
I felt my heart escape me, from my mouth...
I awkwardly walk back to my seat, eying how my friends were snickering and avoiding their gazes on me.
"What's wrong?" I asked to break the ice.
"Look, Val. You don't have a girlfriend, right?" James fired back.
"N-no... why?"
"Then, what the fuck were you doing with Yuri?! What took so long?" Gabe snickered.
"Uh... we were just talking?"
I didn't really know... we just woke up like this..
"Riiight... Talking... Is that what kids call it, Gabe? Talking?" James responded.
"I guess so, Jimbo. Talking is apparently now the new quickie." Gabe said with his eyes closed, mocking disappointment.
"Wh-what?! What are you two talking about?!"
"Jesus, Val. You can be sometimes be a dense dumbass..." James facepalmed.
"A what?!"
"We can tell that you two, had a quickie. It explains how her hair is, the length it took for you two to come back, and how she winked at you." James nonchalantly explained.
They... They saw that wink?!
"Not only that, she's smiling a lot more than usual. See?" James continued as he pointed towards Yuri.
I focused my eyes towards her, she had an extra bounce to her movement. She was smiling while grading the work and from the looks of it... humming with her eyes closed.
She looks like an angel...
Wait, how is she grading with her eyes closed?
I shook my head and focused at the situation at hand.
"Um... I can explain..."
"Can you? I think it's pretty damn obvious you two had a good time. But out of all girls, you do it with her? I thought you and Monika had a thing going on..." Gabe questioned, and it was making my ire rise.
"First of all..." My voice sank to an frosty tone.
"Me, Monika, and Yuri are just friends. Nothing more, nothing less. Secondly, I wouldn't have sex now! Are you guys stupid?! You know me! I'm going to be a bachelor for God's sake! So having sex after marriage is never going to happen! Hell! Marriage isn't even a option! And finally, she was going through a really hard time that stressed her out! I was to keep that between us, but you two wouldn't shut the fuck up about this!"
I had to lie to friends on the last one... I broke my vow to never lie to my brothers...
My angry outburst was contained within the group, so no one outside paid any heed. Both Gabe and James nodded in understanding.
James was the first to speak.
"Alright... we get it. My bad, Val. We didn't know she was going through some shit."
Gabe followed suit right after.
"Yeah. We didn't know, considering how Yuri looks at you and talks to you... We thought there was more between you two. And I was joking on how you and Monika are a couple and shit. If you want to go for an harem, then go for it. We'll got your back through this shit."
I didn't process what Gabe said to really, but I heard something on how Yuri looking and talking to me, and how Monika is on to me as well...
I don't know what to say...
"Look... let's not talk about this shit, guys. It gives me a fucking migraine. Now, did you guys finish your work?"
They both gave a "Yup!" and "Yeah."
"Alright, come with me so we can give in the work."
We all stand up and push our chairs in, so we can walk to Monika and turn in the work.
"Okay, who's giving in the work for us?" I asked.
"Not it!" Both James and me say immediately.
"Ahaha! Looks like Gabe has to give it in!" James pointed out.
"Haha! What a loser!" I followed up.
"Fuck you two! Alright, give it here." Gabe reluctantly said as he got the work.
He walked up to where Monika was sitting and stopped halfway.
James put his hands on his lap and slowly walked in front of him.
"What's wrong?" James asked turning his body to face Gabe.
"Uh... I'm going to give the work in..." Gabe replied.
"Really? Then go give it in."
"Hey, this is harder than it looks! You do it!"
"Fine, give it to me, pussy." James takes the paper from Gabe.
James then walks up to Monika.
Monika looks up with a mild glare, or a look that shows that she is busy and doesn't want to be bothered with.
James immediately stops walking.
Gabe then walks up to him with his hands on laps and looking at him with mocking expression.
"What's wrong?" Gabe asks.
"I-I... I see the problem..." James mutters.
"OH, DO YA?!" Gabe mocks.
I couldn't help but laugh at them, they were enacting the famous scene and show from a while ago.
After awhile of brief standstill, I walk up to them.
They both started to panic.
"What now?!"
"I don't know!"
I roll my eyes.
"Oh, for the love of... Would you two shut the fuck up? I got this, you fucking clowns." I grab the papers from James and walk up to her.
"Hey!" Gabe called out.
I turned around.
"Good luck, champ!" Gabe snidely commented.
I dismissed it with a grunt and continued my pace.
"Hey, Mon." I greeted with a smile.
"Hi, Val!" She greeted back with a smile.
"My group's done with their work." I hand her the papers to her.
"Ah, okay!"
She takes the papers and places them in a pile.
"So, I gotta ask..." She starts. "Are they your friends from your old home? Cause, if I do recall, they were James and Gabriel, right?"
"Yup! They moved in recently and I feel more at home! I feel much more happier!"
"That's good, Val! I'm so glad!"
"Thanks. And hey, did you want to talk to me about something?"
"Oh that? We can talk about it, during the Literature Club."
"Sure, no problem."
"Also Val... I have a very big favor to ask you..."
"Lay it on me, Mon. We're best friends, remember? Besties always help one an another."
Monika smiles at me.
"You're so sweet, Val... If you were my boyfriend, I would kiss you in front of everyone! Hehe!"
I arched an eyebrow.
She did not just say that!
Just play it cool and aloof.
"What?"
She flushed a deep red.
"Nothing! Haha! Anyway, I was hoping if you could get both of your friends to join the Literature Club. You know, the more the merrier?"
"That's your favor? Consider it done! I can do it!"
"I'm a more of a "getting results" type of girl, Val. You gotta prove it to me~!"
I placed my hand on my chin, pondering on what to do...
"Alright, how about a bet?"
I didn't mean to word it like that...
Oh, man. I am so screwed.
She places her hands on her chin, listening intently.
"Oooh... I'm listening."
Her eyes shined at the prospect of a challenge.
"Okay, if I don't get my friends to join the Literature Club at the end of the school day, then I have to-"
"Kiss me? Of course!" She cut me off.
My mouth was partially agape from her boldness.
"Uh... What? N-no! No way I'm doing that!"
"Too bad! I said it before you can say yours! Hehe!"
"B-but that isn't fair!"
"You snore, you lose! Now, if you do get your friends to join, um..."
"Wait! Don't I get a share at the bet?"
"Nope!"
"Why not?!"
"Your bet, my rules!"
"That doesn't even make sense!"
"But it makes sense in my book!"
"What book?!"
"Argh! Just shut it!"
It was there that I regretted making a bet in the first place.
What was I thinking?! Making a bet with Monika? She pulls shit like that on the daily!
Damn it!
"Um, alright. Is it too late to back out of a bet?"
Monika gave me a mild and annoyed glare at me. She was baiting for me to slip up.
"Okay, you know what? Never mind! It's on. Yeah. Woo. Let's go..." I droned.
She relaxed.
"Good! Now, what was I saying...?"
"I don't know, maybe something along the lines of letting me go? Hehe..."
Hey it's worth a shot, right?
She gave an confused "Huh?" before taking the expression back.
"Oh, right! You can go now!"
I never thought I would hear that!
Since when did that work?! Holy shit! I should do that more often!
"Okay! It's my pleasure!" I start to walk away in a hurried fashion, in an effort to catch up to my friends, to which they were sitting down on the same table we were working at.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
I stopped in my tracks.
Fuck!
"You sneaky little snake! You fooled me!"
"Uh... No, I didn't."
"Get back here! Right this instant!"
She was glaring at me, obviously really angry about being tricked.
"Nah..." I dared as I slowly walked towards the table.
I heard Monika audibly growl, even though I was a couple meters away.
I slowly turned to see her barely keeping her angered state.
Oh shit...
In a fit of rage, Monika grabs a couple of pencils from the teacher's mug and breaks them in front of me.
"Come. Here." She demanded.
I was mortified. Partially due to the fact that breaking pencils displayed strength and superiority, back in elementary school.
"Okay..." I muttered.
I walk up to her with the same speed as my retreat to my friends, albeit a little more faster due to the fear I was experiencing.
"Good! Now, before you tricked me, I was saying my side of the bet! I was thinking that you have-
"Have to do absolutely nothing!" I gave two thumbs up in approval.
She cleared her voice, obviously not happy.
"I swear, Jones. If I hear another peep out of you... I will..."
I flinched.
"Okay! You made your point! I'm sorry! Jeez..."
"Good! Now, that you stopped rudely interrupting me, I want you to work with me for the Festival plans!"
Festival? Oh, right...
"That's for when I get my friends in, right?"
"Mhm!"
"That sounds like a lose-lose for me!"
"Hehe! But, it's a win-win for me!"
"But, shouldn't a bet be a win-lose thing?"
"It should, but when it's around me, I always make it a win-win!"
"What?! That still doesn't make sense!"
"You don't make sense!" She countered.
I rolled my eyes.
She isn't going to give a clear cut answer.
I sighed.
Girls...
"Gah! Fine! When do we plan the Festival plans?" I reluctantly agrred.
"Hmm... We can do it Saturday after our dat- I mean our hangout!"
"Wait, we're hanging out Saturday? I thought it was a free day..."
"Hold on, did you forget about our date?"
Oh shit! We do have a date Saturday! I totally forgot about that!
"Uh, no... I didn't."
Date?
"And wait, it isn't a date, right? It's just two besties hanging out..."
"Yeah... both of us in a restaurant..." She said dreamily.
"Eating..." I continued.
"Kissing..."
"What?!"
"Hehe! I'm just kidding! That never gets old! Hahaha! The look on your face when I say that is priceless!"
"Grr... your lucky I can't come back to that!"
"I know! That's what it makes it better! Hehe!"
"Whatever. So Saturday? After our hangout?"
"Hmm... Maybe not."
"What? Why?"
"I think you're going to be really tired at that day... So I guess we can do the plans at Sunday."
"Sunday? Sure, I guess. Just obliterate my plans for doing upper body day."
"Upper body?"
"Yeah, upper body. Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps, Front and Rear Delts, that stuff."
Her emerald eyes became coated with something unknown again.
"Oooh! Can I come?"
"What? Did you forget about the Festival plans?"
"I didn't! Maybe we can go after we're done..."
"No! Gosh, no! I go to the gym alone, and don't even dare going with me, just so you can see workout! End of discussion! I don't want to hear a peep out of you missy!" I aggressively said.
"Sheesh, alright!" Monika backed off.
"Good. So, why not Saturday?"
"Oh! On top of going to that new restaurant at Saturday, you have to be my boyfriend at that day! Remember?"
Wait, be her boyfriend? Since when did I- oh... Right...
Fuck!
"Yeah, I unfortunately do..."
She rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, you're going to be exhausted to catering all my needs! So, that's why we're doing the plans at Sunday!"
"Then it's settled. Sunday it is. Anything else, Mon?"
She leaned back at the chair and stretched.
"Nope. Thanks, Val!"
Monika was stretching out her back, so she puffed out her chest.
I can see her breasts...
I mentally slapped myself.
Get a grip, you fucking womanizer!
I nodded towards her and finally made my way towards my friends.
They were chatting and looking at their phones, presumably memes and stuff.
"Jesus, Val. What took so long? You couldn't do a quickie with Monika, since everyone's here." Gabe snickered.
I ignored that part of the sentence.
"We were talking about a bet." I responded.
"A bet? What's the bet?" James piped up.
"Somehow, she managed to make the bet a lose-lose for me and a win-win for her..."
"Well that sucks." James replied.
"What? How the fuck does that work?" Gabe pointed out, obviously weirded out from the bet's turnout.
"I don't know. I just don't know. I agreed to it."
"Bet. Now what was the bet, about?" Gabe said.
"Okay, it's about you two."
"Us two?" James replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, you two. If I can get you two into her literature club, then I have to plan with her for the Festival."
"Festival?" They both asked.
"Yeah, Festival. It's in next Monday. Just a showcase of how other clubs are and how they work."
James was unfazed from all this.
"So, what happens if you lose? What if we don't want to join?" He asked.
"I was afraid of that. I have to..."
I paused and looked away from that.
"I can't do it..."
They both widened their eyes from my helpless state.
"I think I need to show Monika a thing or two about messing with us..." Gabe said with restrained anger, getting up and setting his glare to Monika.
"No. It's fine. Take it easy." I harshly say to Gabe.
"Yeah, just chill out, Gabe..." James said, putting up a hand to motion him to stay. "Go ahead, Val. It can't be that bad..."
"Alright... Alright..."
They leaned in to what I had to say.
"I have to..."
I gulped.
"Kiss her."
...
"That's it?" Gabe said, obviously a little angry.
"Y-yeah..." I sheepishly replied.
"But, that does sound like a you know... A thot move." James commented.
Thots? I haven't heard of that in a while...
"Thots? Oh, wow... that does sound like a thot move..." I pondered. "It's as if something was missing from me... It's that word all along..."
"Yeah! If she breathes, then she a thot!" Gabe started.
"If she speaks, then she also a thot!" James continued.
"Alright, you two... I get it. Jesus..." I ended. "I should bring this up to her and see if she responds..."
"You should, Val." James advised.
On cue, the bell rang, ending the period we were at.
"Period's over? That was quick..." I said in confusion.
"Even though you were outside with a girl and flirting with her, it did go quick." Gabe snidely commented.
"Fuck off..."
All of us chuckle at that and got up from our desks to leave the classroom.
As we get closer to the exit, I separated from the group to talk to Yuri.
I see her putting away any pencils and papers she had into her bag.
I walked up to her with a small but friendly smile, a little uneasy from our moment from a couple minutes ago.
"Hey, Yuri." I greeted with veiled anxiety.
She smiled at me, it made me tingle with something I couldn't place my finger on.
"Yes, Valkyrie?"
"Uh... What do you have next?"
"Hmm? Oh, I have English class next. What about you, Valkyrie?"
"I-I, um..."
I was cut off from the PA system.
"Attention all students that have a class with Ms. Sakurai, please report to the English 12 class. Thank you."
Okay, screw me then.
"Well, I was going to have class there... but I apparently have it with you, now. Hehe..."
"That's convenient, to be honest. We can finally catch up on reading our book!" She gleefully said, barely keeping her excitement in.
I couldn't help but smile even brighter from her enthusiasm for reading, my anxiety dissipating slowly.
"Alright! We'll read together!" I reply with the same amount of enthusiasm as her.
"Yay! I mean... um, that would be most pleasing, indeed."
I chuckle at her.
"Ah, Yuri. Don't ever stop being yourself... Hey, I gotta catch up with my friends, alright?"
"O-okay. I'll meet you there. I have to get ready for English class..."
"Mhm. I'll see you then!" I nodded and walked away.
I jogged to catch up with my friends.
I caught with them and James was the first one to talk.
"Hey, Val. We were just talking about how it smells like updog here." James complained.
I smirked at the reference he was making.
"What's up, dog?" I followed along.
"Hey! What's up?!" He replied.
We chortled on that for a bit.
"Anyways, Val. Where the fuck is English class?" Gabe asked.
"Oh, English class? It's at the end of this hallway." I said, pointing at the doorway.
"Bet! Let's go and learn something for once!" Gabe replied.
"What? Weren't you the one moaning on how you wanted an easy first day?"
"Yeah, like I said. I switched sides... We got really bored at AP Calculus."
"Whatever, Gabe. Let's just go in."
The door was open and we walked right in.
In there, we see a petite, pinked haired girl arguing with a friend of mine.
Natsuki...
"... It isn't fair that I-..." She looked up at me.
For once, instead of an angry glare she always sports, it's something happy and warm.
"H-hey, Val." She responds with a nervous smile.
"Hey! What's going on?" I smiled back.
I motioned both Gabe and James to take a seat next to them.
"Yo, Val! What's good?" My friend comes up to me with his hand extended.
Tommy...
"Hey, Tom! Let me introduce you two to my friends!"
Both Gabe and James took a seat next to each other, and they were apart from two.
I could understand their timidity, as they were two people they never met...
"Gabe, Jimbo, meet Tommy, my first friend here at this school!"
"Wassup, bro?"
"Hey, nice to meet ya." They greeted respectively.
"It's nice to finally meet you two. Val mentioned you two before."
"Jesus, Val. You're such a fucking softie." James criticized with a smirk.
"Hmph."
We heard a "Ahem!" to our side.
"Hey, Val! I'm not invisible! Last time I checked, we were on good terms!" Natsuki said with her arms crossed, seated next to Tommy. She was glaring at me with those hot pink eyes.
They are full of energy. Devious, but good-natured...
Hey, retard! Stop staring and introduce em!
"Oh, right! Sorry!"
I didn't know who I was apologizing to exactly, myself or to Natsuki.
"Argh! You can be such an idiot, sometimes!"
I put my hands in surrendering expression.
"Jeez... Alright, Natsuki. I said, my bad already..."
"Whatever!"
I looked at my friends and waved my hand to introduce them to her.
"Gabe and Jim, meet Natsuki, she's a friend of mine in the Literature Club."
"Hey, there."
"Howdy." They again, greeted respectively.
"Hi there! How's it going?" She greeted back, giving her confident toothy smile.
"Now that's all taken care of, I need to introduce you guys to Yuri, Monika, and Sayori. I'm getting tired just doing all this..."
"Pff... Pussy." Gabe snickered.
I rolled my eyes.
The door unexpectedly swung right open with a energetic jolt, and out popped out a redhead from the doorway.
Well there's Sayori...
She was searching for someone, her eyes gradually growing warmer at the sight of me and Natsuki together. But her eyes lit up like fireworks when she spotted Tommy.
It was obvious she was holding it in.
Sayori looked behind her and motioned some people to come with her.
She walked towards us and out came Yuri and Monika. This time, Monika was the one with the papers.
I don't like the looks of this... There's too many people here...
Yuri timidly walked with Sayori and took a seat with us.
Monika continued walking with her confident posture from before and put her bag down on the teacher's desk.
I dropped my head onto the table, hitting it with an audible thud.
Oh, boy. Here we go again...
I apologize for the amount of time it took for me to upload this chapter. This chapter had a couple of writer's blocks and foreshadows. It's just my school has been chewing up all my free time I have, as there is a festival that is somewhat identical to that of the game. Thankfully, spring break is around the corner and I can finally get a breather and get some writing done. Now, on to the reviews.
Thunder, Jones is Valkyrie. His name is Valkyrie Jones, or so it may seem. And hey, it means a lot to be a "light in someone's world". Making an impact in a positive way, makes me feel good about myself and in the story. Thank you. To answer your questions, I'm not quite sure if I'm going to make more DDLC fanfics, really. Besides the 'what-if' fanfic, I'm not sure. Anyways, thanks for review man.
Pokémon, Woo! I'm impressed that you managed to binge read all this! Thank you! As for your patience, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Your analysis of the story is what makes it a killer to read! Keep reviewing and stay cheeki breeki.
(Sorry, Guardian)
Storm, I've been playing with a friend of mine on Rainbow. He goes Blitz and I go Buck. Together, we make a amazing roam clearer. It's like tactical Swat! He flashes and I shoot down with my Skeleton Key or my rifle. Really awesome to do, actually. Thanks for the review!
Ryustorm, Hey, you might be on to something... In the future chapters, you are gonna get more hints from the guy in the armor and mask. Trust me, it'll be a mindfuck... well sort of I guess. I appreciate the effort to log in and review my story! Thanks!
Jazzy, I couldn't really decipher what you typed before saying you're glad that you read my story... And also, maybe... maybe that "beast" of his is doing something he doesn't want to do... Thanks for the review!
Dex, I don't believe in pure evil, nor pure good. Everything has little gray in them, so no not really... It all depends on perspective and the hints. You'll get your answer in the later chapters, I assure you.
I've already sent you two (Math and Remiboi) PMs regarding your questions. Sorry, about that.
Thanks for the reviews guys. I appreciate it. Expect another chapter at Saturday night!
