Chapter 28 is now up! Skip this part!
AN: Hey, everyone. Not much to say, besides that the next chapter will be uploaded around Wednesday or Thursday. It will take place in the literature club, (finally!) and it will include Yuri's confession to Val, now without a destabilization. Onto the reviews.
Tsudzukete, Wow, thanks for the lengthy review! I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into it! Let me return the favor.
Alright! I'm going to be honest, making them not have sex wasn't the hard part, rather trying to detail the scenes between was. I needed immerse the readers within the narration and Val's thoughts, but it is kinda difficult to do. I was pushed to my very limits at that part! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Well, you're right that Val has no reason to be Monika. After all, she does know of what he has been through and probably understands him the most. That little part of humanity left inside him? That will play an integral role in the climax. And my gosh, you nailed Val's conscious, nice work!
Here's a little, but obvious spoiler. Val will be with someone or "someones" after the beach chapter. And did notice that he's letting go of the bachelor part, eh?
You might be onto something on what Val's next actions will be on Monika. Val does regret confessing to her... just a little.
Yuri and Natsuki are going mess him up, indeed! I've planned an confrontation between all three girls and Val. It is going to set the plot for the beach.
And it's cool! I appreciate some of the thoughts you give! It helps me write the chapters a lot for effectively and faster! Thanks for the lengthy review, dude!
P.S: The way I envisioned the piano and the seat was that they are in the corner, away from sight really. The seat was more of a bench, rather than seat. My bad.
sbg1218, Yes, really. I'm sorry sir. Val did think why they weren't caught at all, I just added a little bit of... "Magical Realism." Just a tiny bit. Thanks for review! The next chapters are going to be a fun bit to write!
Roast Lord, Well, eh... I can't put Yuri in there, since it wouldn't quite make sense for her to be there.
Also, I have to disagree on your second point, bud.
Val did realize his "mistake". That being kissing her, without talking about their feelings. Once they confessed to each other, there wasn't much holding them back. I mean they weren't having sex, to begin with, something that Val doesn't want to do, just yet.
Their relationship can be classified as maybe, "complicated"? Since Val doesn't want to be a relationship with her just yet, so they publically display their love. They still do have feelings for each other.
Val did notice that Monika was nearing the edge of just ripping his clothes and having her way with him. So, Val needed to stop her. This is however, is not the same mistake as before. Like I wrote prior, they were not having sex, rather just grinding and straddling each other. No virginity is being taken. But they were still dangerously close to bursting.
Moving on the third point! No need to worry about me, I make sure each chapter can be followed up easily. I'm letting Val fall into a pit of despair, intentionally. As this will help thicken the plot. I do have a plan on getting past any potential writers blocks.
Either way, I appreciate the constructive criticism that you gave me. It helps give me the power to clarify certain plot points that may need clearing. Thanks so much for the support, my lord!
P.S: Are you on mobile? Polls tend to work while in desktop mode.
TitanSolracar99, Yeah... Sorry about that...
Anyway, thanks! I was free yesterday, and therefore I was able to dedicate time into writing the chapter!
And yup, I actually thought I wouldn't hit 150k either. At this point, I have a feeling this is all going to end around 200-250k words, since there is some plot left in the story.
Val indeed is digging his grave. But don't worry! The beach won't be a huge shit show really! Hopefully in the next chapter or in this chapter, when updated, will get clarify what will happen there.
And yeah, the chocolate thing Val was screaming in his head about, was indeed a reference to that crazy fish back in the old SpongeBob episodes. I have to admit, I was scared shitless when I was kid, when he started screaming chocolate and chased Patrick and SpongeBob.
P.S: You didn't happen to pick up an apricot-colored USB did you? Your fourth paragraph seems a bit... off.
Thanks for the review, dude!
Storm, I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I can incorporate you into the story... And please, I don't wish to know your real name. This goes for everyone as well. I value the anonymity that we users have. And therefore, will not risk anyone risking their identity. Thanks for your understanding, Storm.
Guest, I don't think she mentions anything about her singing Soprano. But her singing skills match the range of it, so I assumed she was one.
Oh, Marital Sex? Sex after marriage.
I can also relate to Val, but I have gotten used to the fact that people tend to ask questions while I listen to music, lol.
And yes. I did reply to myself.
Pdrocker1, Don't worry! James, Tom, and Gabe are elite special op members of the thot patrol! They can handle 3 or 4 thots!
And yeah, I had no choice and erase Val's idiotic density. Resets aren't a thing anymore... He still has to escape it, indeed! Thanks for review, dude!
Guardian, Now that you're immune to that gay virus, I'm going respond to ya.
And the numbers? What numbers? What do you mean? What do they mean? Tell us. What are the numbers, Guardian?
Oh, the finger hole sign is something used, when seen it makes the person gay.
OH MY GOSH THE WAY YOU USED THE CONTEXT OF MY STORY AND BLENDED IT WITH THE SONG WAS GENIUS IM SHAKING RIGHT NOW
And don't worry. You aren't censored. smh
The girls brought the pain, now they gonna get paid! And yeah... I had to do to em with that face.
I was reading your sentence out loud. You know the one that goes, MY DICK GETS BIGGER CAUSE IM A CRAZY N-
...
There's a black guy looking at me
help
Anyway, thanks for all the reviews. I hope to see you all in the next one.
I was staring outside the window, into night sky as I gazed on how the stars gleamed the city below.
At times like these, I always found myself thinking about how I would make it to the top. Somehow that I can make it to the best of the best.
Well... I did find a way to make it.
I am the head of the technical branch of this project. I found the job, when a friend of mine recommended my engineering and coding skills to this company.
I thought this would be the start of a new life for me.
Maybe I could get the recognition I want.
Too bad I found out the hard way.
Although I had money and some power, it didn't attribute to fame much.
Most of the project's funding and development was done in secret. Something about the ethics; specifically on testing the very early stages of it. That was apparently one of the reasons why all this was so... hush-hush.
My journey on getting promoted was difficult, and I worked my ass off to get to the position I am in right now.
I needed a release, or at least a coping mechanism to deal with all the stress from my job.
Fortunately, I found a way to deal with that.
Playing video games was an excellent way to release any pent up tension and stress I had.
But finding the right game was difficult.
First person shooters made me "rage" if my team wasn't picking up the slack. Racing made me calculate when to do every drift, gear shift, and nitrous, stressing me out even more. RPG's wasn't really my sweet-spot in games, as the lore of those always confused me and I couldn't get immersed into it.
So, I searched for hours, looking for a game that would help me deal with stress.
Unfortunately, I found the wrong game to help me with that.
During my journey to the top and finding the right game, there was this one particular game that has made an impact on my life.
It looked so... innocent, fluffy, but devious.
It was called Doki Doki Literature Club.
I remember playing that visual novel as if it was yesterday.
I remember coming home from a long and hard day of work, and starting up my laptop.
I came across this game when I was browsing the Steam store.
I was curious as to why a cute anime game was put into a horror tag.
Heh, I remember scoffing at the comments on how the game is not what it seemed.
I mean, how can these four girls cause such an impact on so many people?
Too bad I found out the hard way.
I remember becoming a recluse. I just stopped talking with my colleagues, my friends, my parents, and even my girlfriend!
I remember coming home from a long and hard day of work, and starting up my laptop.
My laptop always opened up to the same scene.
It was just me and her.
In that classroom, lost in the void.
Together...
I couldn't believe that she had so much to say.
I thought she was actually sentient, and had an unlimited amount of topics to talk about.
I had to admit, I was a bit unnerved that she knew I was the player and that she was in love with me.
But I continued to "talk" with her, trying to exhaust all the interesting dialogue she had to say.
Simply put, she was a sweetheart.
I thought it would never end...
Too bad I found out the hard way.
I was absolutely shocked.
I never thought she would actually repeat her own lines again.
I thought she was sentient!
She lied!
I actually thought she was a real character stuck in a never-ending Hell.
And I fell for it!
My irrational part of my mind was roaring in hatred for the creator of this game.
But my rational part of my mine, knew that this was all rigged from the start. It was all made to mess with the minds of people. That explained all the warnings the game displayed at the start.
"This game is not suitable for children."
And I found out too late.
Even thought I was rational, I still felt betrayed.
It was there that I snapped back into reality.
I had friends, family, colleagues, and damn girlfriend for God's sake!
And I was wasting my time with a "sentient" NPC!
So, I opened the game files and searched for her character file.
There it was.
Her character file.
She had no where to go.
She was trapped like a cornered animal.
But I couldn't let her go.
I held on to her...
I quickly realized that I didn't like her or anything.
I just felt the need to just...
Save her.
I had this really strange feeling of pity for this character, despite it not being "sentient".
...
I remember buying a USB just because of the color.
The color of her hair.
I pulled it out and put that file into it.
I maximized the game to see her reaction would be.
It was... peculiar!
She was behaving as if she was getting deleted!
For some reason I was just frustrated.
I felt myself grit my teeth.
I banged and flipped over the laptop with an monstrous amount of force.
My laptop flipped over and powered off.
I pulled the USB stick out of the laptop and left it on the table.
I left it for another day.
...
I remember picking up the stick on the way out to work.
The team needed something on how to design the AI model out of.
I thought of her.
I thought that her sentience was something I could use and base the model of.
Too bad I found out the hard way.
I didn't notice the multiple errors and garbled bits of code in her file.
Like a mad scientist, I spent hours in the lab, tinkering and tweaking my masterpiece.
I thought this would be the creation I would be known for.
I had this weird feeling of... redemption.
I needed to save her.
Only then, I will be able to move on.
Too bad I found out the hard way.
...
"Mr. Robinson?" A feminine voice called out to me.
It was Eliza Williams, one of the nurses of hospital.
I awoke from my thoughts and turned my head to her.
"Ah! Hello, Ms. Williams." I greeted.
She smiled at me and shook her head at me.
"Mr. Robinson, I told you to call me Eliza! I'm 23, for Pete's sake!"
"Well. I would stop, if you would call me Carl instead of 'Mr. Robinson', Ms. Williams." I retorted.
She playfully rolled her eyes at me.
"Too shay. Now, I'm here just asking for the doctor about..."
Eliza turned her head towards the machine and motioned a hand towards it.
"... All this."
I was unsure of what to say.
I'm pretty sure that almost no progress has been done into recovering the patient.
Hell, I think the rescuer is going to be patient anytime soon.
But, me and the boss already used an effective contingency plan...
It should probably work...
I'll tell her it all would be alright.
"Oh." I started, making sure to say the proper words to her.
"Tell the doctor, that the recovery is going..."
I turned towards them.
"Phenomenally. There's nothing to worry about." I assured.
I still don't know if it's going to be good or not.
Eliza nodded and looked towards me.
"That's good news... Carl." She said with relief.
I smirked.
"Indeed. I still need to watch over these two. The recovery process is estimated to take a bit more time. By a couple of hours, it should be done."
"Oh, okay. Don't you need to sleep?"
I dismissively waved my hand at her.
"I'll be fine, Eliza. Don't worry."
She started to walk over to the door and leave the room.
I turned around to gaze at the stars once more.
"Carl..."
I looked towards her again.
"If you need anything, just call me. Alright?"
I nodded solemnly.
"Of course, Eliza. I will. Have a good night, okay?" I said, with a small smile.
She smiled back.
"I will, Carl. Take care."
And with that, she left the room.
I let out a huge sigh, exhausted from all the work I did.
I stopped gazing at the stars and walked towards my seat.
The computer was flashing a soft blue, signifying a major event has occurred.
Oh no.
I immediately sat down and pulled out the keyboard.
I moved the mouse and typed in the wake-up protocol for the backup AI.
The screen froze.
Nothing moved.
I stared at screen once more, hoping that it would respond back.
It didn't.
Oh, no...
This isn't good!
The backup AI has been completely hijacked!
What the Hell?!
I minimized the backup AI control panel and opened up the backdoor to the original AI.
The program was starting to initialize, giving me time to think.
How did the backup AI get hijacked?!
Was this the AI's doing?!
If so... then that isn't good...
The AI would have more power than I thought it would have...
The program finished starting up and showed me the troves of data the AI was exhibiting.
I traced my finger alongside the screen, in order to keep focus on the log.
Let's see here...
Wait, this machine has a search function!
Damn... this shit is getting me stressed out...
I opened up the search function and looked for any keywords that related to: "Detection" "Backup" "Control".
To my surprise, all three words came up in the log.
This hasn't happened before...
I tried this a while ago and now it works?!
What the Hell!
I pressed Enter and the program started to search to the earliest entry of those three words.
I felt my soul leave me as the backdoor displayed this.
"DETECTED: REPLACEMENT OR BACKUP AI. SEIZING CONTROL."
No!
The AI has seized the backup!
To my horror, the program automatically scrolled lower to see another entry.
"USING NEW AI TO UPDATE CODE AND REGISTRY."
...
"UPDATE COMPLETE. ON BOARD INTELLIGENCE CODE AND REGISTRY OPTIMIZED FOR PEAK EFFICENCY."
Oh my God! Not only did it take control of the new AI, it literally took the new one's updated code and replaced any vulnerabilities!
This is literal dismemberment!
I needed to check the latest entry on the log. I had a nagging feeling that it was only going to grow worse...
I scrolled all the way down to the most relevant entry I can find.
My eyes bulged out at the sight of entry.
"USING NEW AI TO SUPPORT OFFICIAL AI. ALL NON-ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS ARE NOW PERFORMED BY NEW AI. ACTION REQUIRES ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL."
Right below that entry was just a confirmation of the transfer.
"GRANTED. ACTION HAS BEEN APPROVED."
Who granted access?!
I'm sure as Hell didn't!
Shit! Shit! Shit!
I hit the table with a clenched fist, frustrated at the failure of the plan.
Fucking Hell! I thought the backup AI would be able to seize control of the system and purge the old AI!
Especially how the new AI has updated and optimized modules, I thought it would be able swiftly takeover!
Damn it! I underestimated her... resourcefulness.
...
I gotta tell the Director about this.
I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed his number.
I don't what exactly I'm going to say to him...
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
The beeps of the call made me very uneasy.
Oh man... What am I going to?!
This is all my fault!
If I hadn't-
"Technician. What's the news on the contingency plan?" His usual shrewd and monotone voice spoke.
Here goes.
"Bad news, sir." I choked out.
He gave an irritated grunt.
"Say it."
I let out a breath of air.
"The plan backfired, sir."
"What?!" He uncharacteristically yelled. "How could this be? Did we not check if the backup AI have updated modules and functionality?"
"Yes, sir, I double checked. It did have updated modules. But the old AI was able to detect it. I'm not sure how it did it!"
I heard my boss stay silent.
This was odd, as he always knew what to say and what to counter.
The silence was making my already anxious behavior worsen.
...
He grumbled and cleared his voice.
"I see... so is this AI sentient?" He asked, with a frightening calm streak to his voice.
I was astonished on how he was able to regain his composure, especially at the chances of complete failure.
"Y-Yes, sir."
"Then... we shall bargain with it." He replied.
What?
"B-Bargain with it? How?" I asked, baffled at what my boss was saying.
"True sentience means that it wants to preserve itself at any cost. They aren't like the hyper-intelligent robots we see that destroy everything at their path. No, rather they wish to live out their robotic lives. Therefore, it will bargain for its life."
He's going to delete her?!
"You mean... delete it?!" I asked with a bit of anxiety in my voice.
"Yes. If she wishes to live, then she shall let go of the patient and let us get control of the project. Otherwise, it will be purged completely."
...
Killing my creation...?
The time and effort I went, just to save her?
No...
No!
I have to! I need to save these two!
They are stuck in that damn machine because of me!
To Hell with Monika!
Two human lives are significantly worth more than a "sentient" character!
After a brief moment of silence, I finally spoke up.
"Understood, sir. How should we contact her...? So we can do this... bargaining?" I asked, completely firm with my decision.
He remained silent for a few seconds.
He spoke up.
"I'm still formulating details on how we should proceed to this. I'm going to call up a meeting with the team to discuss the diplomacy. In the meantime, update me on any changes with the AI's behavior. This is our last shot on taking out the AI, once and for all. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, sir."
He hung up.
I sighed.
I patted the machine to my side.
"Heheh. Sorry about what's going to happen next, bud... Cause I'm sure as Hell it won't be a good end for you." I snidely commented towards the machine.
"It's now or never."
Holding On
Why Let Go, if you can Hold On?
What's the point of Letting Go, if you are just giving up something valuable to you?
Believing in the sake of character development, honor, friendships?
How will that help if you are alone and exhausted?
NONE OF IT WILL DO ANYTHING.
JUST HOLD ON.

I finally get the strength back to get my back up from the floor.
I grunted from raising my back up.
Time to end the day.
Kind of...
With the Literature Club.
But hey, at least my friends are going to be there.
Now it won't be me and Tom.
If any of the girls go a little... overboard with me, I can depend on them.
Hopefully...
They didn't really help much today.
But they will know what I mean.
The club is where shit starts to break down.
I looked around for my bag.
Huh? Where's my bag? I could've sworn I had it with me!
I looked towards the piano.
My bag was resting on top of it.
Oh, there it is.
I finally got up from the ground and walked over towards the piano.
I don't know why, but the girls get a lot more... jumpy when we are in the Club.
As soon I reach the piano, I immediately felt aroused.
The memories of me and Monika grinding on each other, flashed before my very eyes.
She was enjoying it, begging for more.
And I was too, desiring more than just that...
I still can't believe that me and Monika got away from doing all that.
I know that the piano is on the very corner of the room, but... wait.
I sat on the piano bench.
No wonder...
While sitting on the low bench, the piano was high enough to fully obstruct any view ahead.
So that's why we didn't get caught...
What luck...
Chiyoko was able to see us, since we were on the other-side of the piano...
But others weren't on the other-side...
Thank God...
I think we could've had sex here too...
...
What the Hell?
Where did that come from?!
Why am I thinking this?!
I love her, but that doesn't mean I want to do...
That!
The air was filled with a strange mist of... an unknown substance.
Pheromones?
It just feels a little hotter here, my mind feels a bit hazy...
Not only that, I'm feeling a bit aroused down there.
I shook my head from those thoughts, and picked up my bag.
I took big steps away from the piano, getting away from it's mysterious "air" and it's new-found meaning as a make-out station for me and Monika.
I couldn't help but smile evilly from the thought of doing...
Naughty things with her.
I brought a hand up to my face and slapped myself with it.
I shook myself awake.
There. Now to get to the club. I'm late as is.
I pushed the door open, finally leaving Study Hall.
Now that I'm finally out of that place. I should think about other girls...
I start going up the stairs that led to the Literature Club.
I should think about my feelings for them.
Natsuki...
I see her as more than just a friend. That's true.
Her pink eyes, so proud and strong...
Her pink hair, fluffy and charged...
She is someone that is actually very soft in the inside...
All that coarseness on the outside is just a front for what's real inside.
Natsuki is a girl who intrigues me. Despite being a petite girl, she has a ferocity of a lion.
I just...
... Want to hold her, squeeze her, and tell her everything will be alright.
Tell her that I love her, and she can let out all her pent up tension towards me.
Make her as happy and loved that she can be.
Her toothy and jovial smile is something I always want to see, all the time...
...
And now, Yuri...
I also see her as more than just a friend...
We kissed... during gym class.
That kiss...
I felt something in her change...
Why did she call me a "hero"?
What did I do...?
Either way, we need to talk...
I didn't realize that I stepped into the Literature Club.
I walked in, absently minding all the greetings I was getting from Sayori.
I didn't even acknowledge the annoyed and feminine grunt from her.
My eyes found it's way towards Yuri.
And her eyes found it's way towards me.
I saw her visibly beam at me, eager to see me in front of her.
"Hi, Valkyrie!" She excitedly greeted, with her strange but toothy smile.
Despite feeling a bit unnerved from her uncharacteristic smile, I couldn't help but smile back at her.
"Hey, Yuri." I greeted back.
I didn't realize that she was really close to me.
Yuri lunged towards me, bringing me into a bone-crushing hug.
I felt her breasts press against my chest, distributing a strange warmth to mine.
I awkwardly hug her back, my arms being constricted by hers.
I could literally feel her breasts on my chest, despite the large amounts of clothing between us.
My mind was growing hazy.
"I missed you..." She whispered.
Why would she miss me?
Despite the trance she set on me, I was able to break free from it.
"Uh... Yuri, you do know that I was gone for only a period, right?"
I felt her crawl up to my ear.
"I know..." She whispered, her hushed voice giving me chills down my spine. "Everything is so dull without you..."
I felt my eyes bulge out.
"Oh." I muttered, unsure of what to say next.
Yuri was expected me to continue on what I wanted to say.
"Uh..." I muttered again, still unsure of what to say.
"Ahem... I-I didn't know that Yuri. Now that I'm here now, how does it make you feel?"
She pulled away from our embrace, her eyes now being shallow and focused, perfectly complimenting her peculiar smile.
"Amazing... I feel amazing! Alive! Now that you're here, I feel as I can burst!" She yelled, obviously overjoyed from my presence.
I was amused by her response, and also a bit worried.
What's with her? She usually isn't that brazen or outspoken...
Is it because we kissed?
Is that why she is acting like this?
Underneath that frown and insecurity, is this the real Yuri?
I don't even know...
But what I do know, is that she needs to take a minute to get a breather.
"Yuri." I placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Yes?!" She eagerly replied.
"Could you, I don't know, calm down a bit...? You're kind of making me a bit worried over here." I muttered to her.
Her posture drastically changed. Instead of her confident and eager look, she was reduced to a mere timid and reclusive one.
For some reason, it made me feel guilty.
Shrugging off the phantom guilt, I took a closer look on her eyes, now being less sharp and hollow, reverting to their usual warmth and mellow shape.
"Oooh..." She uttered, looking away from in embarrassment.
"I'm-I'm..." She stuttered anxiously.
Yuri lowers herself from my view and covers her face.
"Sorry! I'm so sorry!"
...
I sighed, knowing that she wasn't going to budge from that position.
I brought Yuri into a hug. But this time, I was the one who wanted her breasts on my chest.
I couldn't help but run my hand down her soft purple hair.
God, Yuri's hugs are amazing... Her boobs are so soft... and so warm...
I wish I could just...
HEY! Snap out of it, Ḟ̽ͦ̎͒ͮͧͭ͂̿̿ͣ̐̔͡͏̘̙̳͚̰̹̗͍̬̕͢ͅr̸̢͈̩̗̗̮͔̹ͨ͑ͭͤ̇̉ͥ̐́͊͗̅̽͊ͦ̚͘͟a̽ͩ̔͗̏̊ͬ̀̍͑͘͘͏̧҉̮̳̟̲̬̗͚̞̼̙̠̜ͅͅn̢͚̮̱̮̤̣͙͊͑̇ͪ̊͗̅ͦ̎͂̎ͫ̚̚k̷̶̹̞̲̻͈̱̗̼̎̊ͤ̐̒͂̓̀͝!̸̨̠͙̙̞̖̤̻̯̯͉̬̩͎̗͎ͫ̔͊͋̈̑̽͑̈̆̈ͣͫ̋ͅ
"Hey... Hey.." I reassuringly called to her, moving her hands away from her face.
Her face was red, embarrassed from her actions from prior.
"It's okay."
Yuri didn't look up to me.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes from her unwillingness to move on. It was as if she was obsessed with the past.
I brought my hand to her chin and pulled it up to me, forcing her wondrous purple eyes to meet mine.
"It's okay, Yuri. I was just a bit... put off from seeing you like this. I never thought you would so excited to see me, or be really happy with me."
Her eyes gazed downwards, despite us being face-to-face. It looked as if she was going through a power struggle inside.
She closed her eyes and let out a relieved sigh.
She opens them to look directly at me, her eyes now renewed with determination and courage.
It was a sight that I wouldn't see in a million years...
"Valkyrie..." She called, with a shrewd frown.
Her new posture and strength made me flinch.
I was really impressed by this new... Yuri.
"Y-Yes?" I stammered.
"I need to tell you something... Something important. It's... It's about us."
I felt my eyes widen at the realization of what she was wanting to say.
So... I was right...
She does like me back!
The most "developed" girl likes me back!
Yes!
I was going to follow up to her request, but we couldn't help but feel creeped out from someone leering at us.
We looked to my right to see a bubbling and enthusiastic Sayori, attentively watching our every move.
"Ah!" She jumped backwards, realizing she was caught.
"Um... I'm not here, you two! You could just kiss and make out now! Eheheh..."
She retreats behind a desk adjacent to us and crouches, still wishing to keep a keen eye out for our every move.
Yuri simply sighed and I face-palmed at this, our moment somewhat ruined.
Suddenly, the door swings open.
"YERRRR!" Was all I heard as my friends walked in, excited to get it on.
Me and Yuri immediately back off each other, knowing well that my friends would love to nitpick and amuse themselves with the moment we just had.
"Ayo! Val! What's good?!" Gabe yelled as he grabbed me and brought me in a hug.
What's with him?
James then pushed him out of the way, giving Gabe a mock glare.
"Hey! Let me give him some sugar too!"
I took one step forward, trying to hold my ground and show my authority against the practice.
But instead, I took two steps backwards and my hands up that I didn't want to involved.
"Woah! Back off you two. Jesus Christ, what's gotten into you two?"
"We're still feeling the pump, my dude! I feel unstoppable!" Gabe roared.
"Yeah! That pump hasn't worn off yet! Woo!" James cheered.
I saw Tom walk into the classroom, looking as if he has regretted coming in the first place.
He sighed and muttered.
"Gym rats..."
Both Gabe and James immediately turn to Tom.
"YEAH, TOMMY VERCETTI WE ARE GYM RATS!" Gabe yelled with vigor.
Tom flinched from his energetic stance.
"T-Tommy Vercetti?"
"DAMN STRAIGHT TOMMY-BOY! YOU ARE TOMMY VERCETTI!" James backed up.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Natsuki walk in with an extremely irritated look on her face, rolling her eyes to help alleviate the stress.
She definitely wasn't going tolerate such boisterous gym-rats.
Natsuki walked right past them and instead, walked up to me. Her pink eyes impatiently asking to stand on the desks to prove her point.
I nodded to show that I complied and grabbed her by hips.
"Oooh..." Natsuki moaned.
I felt my face flare and my heart bounce around for a split second, before picking her up and placing her on the table.
Now that she was on the table, she bent down and gave me sweet smooch on my cheek.
I smiled at how lovey-dovy I felt from her kiss.
Natsuki cleared her throat and breathed in to yell.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP AND TAKE A SEAT! NOW!"
Natsuki was shocked.
I was shocked.
Yuri was shocked.
Both Gabe and James were also shocked.
Natsuki didn't yell at the top of her lungs to get their attention.
Rather...
I looked behind me to see an red and angry Sayori.
Sayori's authoritative and confident posture reinforced her angered image.
Her red hair and face being the exemplified the very definition of rage, effectively nulling my friends.
Both Gabe and James looked down, each with an amused smirk on their face and walked to a seat.
Tom was the first to break the silence.
"Wow..." He muttered with widened eyes. "I didn't think that you would have in it you, Say..."
She tapped her fingers nervously.
"Uh... I had to step up to the challenge, Tom... Seeing that no one was really doing anything, ehehe..."
Natsuki audibly face-palmed.
"Sayori, I'm top of the desk for a reason, you know!" She pointed out.
"Oh?" Sayori looked up to Natsuki, now noticing that she was indeed, on top of a desk.
"Sorry... I just realized you were on top of that right now..." She sheepishly apologized. "It's just that... I got a little... over-protective of my best friend. I hated the fact that he was getting harassed by-"
She pointed her thumb behind her.
"These bozos." She stated.
"Sorry."
"My fault."
Sayori turned and smiled at them.
"It's okay! Sorry for yelling at you two!"
She turned to us.
"Soo... yeah! Anyway, where's Monika?" She asked.
"Yeah... where is Monika, anyway?" Natsuki also asked.
"Valkyrie, don't you have Study Hall with her?" Yuri asked me.
Out of instinct and without fully thinking out my answer, I complied.
"Yeah, I do."
Only for me to regret my word choice.
Both Natsuki and Yuri leered at me.
Natsuki's pink eyes grew a shade darker, while Yuri's went back to it's sharp and hollow shape.
"Hooo? So that means... You know where she is!" Yuri determined.
"Did you do anything to her, Val?!" Natsuki uncharacteristically asked with a tinge of jealousy.
Jealousy? Oh brother...
"Yes... Did you? Answer us!" Yuri demanded.
Oh no! They are suspicious of what happened in Study Hall!
Shit! Shit! What do I say?!
Should I lie? Lying has been very useful to me for a damn while...
Might as well try.
If I say that: "Oh, me and Monika were basically having 'covered' sex. Not only that, we were ridiculously close to actually having it!" They are bound to go bonkers.
They really, really love me to the point that they will go...
What's the word again?
Natsuki said it yesterday, to describe Yuri...
Hmm...
Oh right, "Yandere."
They are straight up obsessed with me.
Don't they know that there is more to life than love?
I saw both Yuri and Natsuki grit their teeth and snarl at me.
Guess not!
Alright! Time to lie!
"I didn't do anything to her! All we do is just study for the upcoming AP Calculus test! And I don't know why she takes so long to come to the club!"
Oh, I definitely know why.
God, I never knew she would be that turned on.
One by one, each of the girl's face pacified.
They stopped gritting, glaring, and growling at me.
"Oh..."
"I-I see..."
There was now an awkward silence between all of us.
Suddenly, the door knocks right open. Again.
At the door, was an out of breath Monika, clutching her knees in order to catch her breath.
"Monik-" I start, only for her to put up a finger, letting us know to give a few seconds.
"Phew!" Monika let out. "Sorry about that! I was helping out with something for the Pre-Calculus teacher! I completely lost track of time!"
Monika glances towards me.
"Isn't that right, Val?"
I took the cue to play along.
"Yeah. Monika did mention that she had to help someone with something. I guess I forgot about it..." I meekly followed up.
Both Yuri and Natsuki nodded in understanding.
"Anyway! I noticed that both Gabriel and James are here with us!" She looked towards the two seating across from us. She waved towards them with a smile.
They waved back at her.
"Does that mean you two are going to join the literature club?" She asked, hope permeating her voice.
"Yup."
"That's why we are here in the first place." James snidely replied.
"Good! Glad to have you two on board! Welcome to our Literature Club!" Monika pompously greeted. "Now, we have some spare time before we share our poems for today. So you guys can do whatever you like to pass-"
"Valkyrie and I are going to read our book together!" Yuri steadfastly declared.
"What?! But I wanted to read Parfait Girls with him!" Natsuki countered, unhappy with Yuri's plans.
Yuri possessively grabbed ahold of my arm.
"He promised to read with me! So in that case, he will read! With me!" Yuri emphasized.
"Well that is true, but..." I muttered.
Natsuki gritted her teeth.
"Well, Val promised that he would read with me! Keywords, WITH ME!" Natsuki also emphasized.
Natsuki grabbed ahold of other arm, showing her dominance.
"Aah! Wait, one at a time!"
Monika cleared her throat.
"Sorry, girls. But Val said that he was going to help me do some paper work! Not only did he agree, he also promised!" Monika declared.
What?! I never agreed to anything with her!
Well, not yet I guess.
Monika went in front of me and pulled on me.
"Since when?!" Natsuki fired.
"Yes! Since when did Valkyrie agree to help you?!" Yuri also attacked.
"Rrrgh! Since Study Hall!" She defended, hugging onto my chest.
"Wait, wait! Guys! Don't I get a say on this?!" I said, trying to stop their rampaging conquest for me.
All three girls glared at me.
"No!"
And that shut me down.
There is three! Three! Three girls all wanting to spend time with me!
Jesus!
Luckily, someone stepped up to help me out from this mess.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute here!" James arose from his seat.
"Yeah!" Gabe also arose. "Let the man say his part!"
Tom also came up to their aid.
"Yeah! Let Val speak his mind! Let him choose!"
Sayori also jumped in as well.
"Val deserves to at least say what he wants to say about all... this." Sayori stated with unease.
"Yeah... guys. It's a 5v3, majority rules." I meekly say.
"Fine!" All three yelled, as they let go of my respective limbs.
I took a few seconds to catch a breather.
"Okay... Now, I think that we should each divide our time on how long you all should spend time with me." I stated.
The three girls looked at each other, nodding in affirmation of our plan.
"Very well, Valkyrie. Who would you want to spend time with first?" Yuri asked.
"Well, me obviously! Who wouldn't want to time with me! Just Monika!" Monika advertised with jazz hands.
"No one! Val would want to be spend time with me, first! Only Natsuki!" Natsuki also advertised stretching her arms out, as if she was showcasing some item.
Yuri was silent throughout the exchange.
I noticed that.
She was quiet, nervously playing with her soft purple hair, perhaps thinking on she isn't competent for me...
I felt horrible.
And I knew just what how to fix it.
I inhaled and exhaled heavily.
"I choose Yuri."
...
Monika simply looked away in disappointment.
Natsuki was going to argue with my choice, but backed off.
Wow. They took it better than expected...
Yuri looked at me with widened eyes.
"M-Me? You wish to spend time with me first, Valkyrie?"
I gave her a sheepish smirk.
"Yeah... After all, we never had time to read our book. Life has a way of just interrupting us..."
Yuri smiled at my remark.
Her smile was fresh and new. Something real and something that would definitely stay alive in my mind.
It turned my smirk into a smile.
"I see... Let me get my book then..."
With that, Yuri went to get her book.
Natsuki and Monika took the cue to leave the scene.
I couldn't help but feel bad for them. As they were all eager to be with me.
But I made my choice.
And it was Yuri.
I took the cue to fish out my book as well.
I walked towards my bag, intent of taking out the book and meeting with her.
Near my bag, were James and Gabe all giving me their smirks.
"What?" I started, uneasy from their smirking.
"Don't even fucking deny it, Val. You are definitely going for a harem." Gabe pointed out.
"Yeah, the way they were fighting for you? Woo-wee! That was spicy." James commented.
I let out heavy sigh.
"Maybe you are right... I might be going for it. But I intend to walk out with one girl. Mark my words." I declared, finally getting the book out from bag, now walking away from my friends.
I walked towards Yuri, now armed with my book.
Yuri already had her book out, but was giving me an perplexed look.
I arched an eyebrow, confused as to why she was giving me that look.
"Are we not going to read from my book?" Yuri asked.
Oh yeah... Reading together on single book is easier to do...
Gosh, but doing that is a bit awkward...
Especially due to the fact that we haven't talked...
With that brought up... I should ask her about the talk.
...
Maybe a bit later.
Let's just read for now...
We can talk later.
Just later...
"Right... Let's do that."
AN: Wooo! Sorry for the delay and lack of updates! School was draining everything I had! Also, I would like to apologize, the confession is in the next chapter. Along with some Yuri fluff. The next chapter should be out at Sunday. Now, to respond to reviews.
Remiboi, I was just about to check the reviews so I can respond, I found yours first. So I guess I'll start with you.
I don't know how to feel exactly. Happy that you are thinking about my fic... Or a little disappointed that you are thinking about my fic while WORKING OUT?! THE GAINS COME FIRST AIGHT?! MY FIC COMES RIGHT AFTER NO EXCUSES. Nah, I'm kidding, you can think whatever you want. I'm no overlord that tell people what to think. Anyway.
Yeah, you are on to something. Yuri does call him that, partially because of that. The other reason will be disclosed in the next chapter.
I plan on doing some Sayori interaction with Tom in the club meeting. This club meeting will span a couple of chapters I think. So that'll give me sometime to able spread the fluff over. Her depression is currently repressed, she still has it. And for your question? Maybe...
Maybe Val might be able to pursue a relationship, now that he is finally recovering. But I dunno, I might have other plans. I might not. I can't give away some major plot details, you know...
I answered your question on that in this chapter, regarding on no one noticing all that. In fact, many people were pointing that out, and I needed clarify why that was the case.
The talk that they going to have is going to come soon. And you noticed my changes, eh? Shhhhhh...
No u, I'm not into that gay shit. And you might me onto something on your theory of how Yuri and Val vaguely remember certain things, you know? And hey! That might be a really good fan ending! I might be able to pull that off!

I do play Fortnite with my friends. I play it for the shits and giggles, and I also find it comparatively more fun than PUBG. Yes, I did play PUBG for 100 hundred hours, but I couldn't get into to as much as Fortnite however. Maybe that's just me. And hey! I'll try my best to upload my chapters faster! Thanks for review!
