Chapter 34 has been uploaded. Check it out right below this response.
AN: Hello, everyone. I just want to start off this review response by giving a choice on what to do next. Since I wrote that I am going to rewrite both the Yuri movie date, and the Monika sleep over, I would like to give a choice on what to do first. Perhaps I can hold off on the current chapter to add and remove some dialogue on those scenes. However that is up to you guys. So the choices are: Yuri: Movie Date, or Monika: Sleepover.
The choices are yours. Anyway, onto the reviews.
Quill, congrats on being the 400th review on my fic, lol.
Well, I don't blame ya. Some people dislike Natsuki's rough personality. But it depends on the writer's writing style, perhaps. Here, you can see Natsuki being direct about her feelings and acting all superior, and what not. But some would writer differently. It all comes down to preference, I guess.
Ah, so you say? I thought Monika was your best girl, considering the pfp you had was Monika in a white dress, if I remember correctly.
Well, each fluff takes time away from each other, though.
Suicides and shits are going to come full circle on Saturday or Sunday. I'm still working on the details for that. And trust me, it's something that will catch everyone (maybe) off guard.
Nice hashtags, btw. #Intervention
P.S: I don't know what you're talking about, the original writer did not get arrested or anything haha
Remiboi, si I do.
Everyone expected Val to kiss Yuri, so I decided to catch them off-guard and start everything off with a hug. That is true, she does get really excited like in Act 2. Oh yeah, lots of 4th walls are broken here in this fic.
Yep, the fluff revealed segments of her yandere side. Blackmailing is very prevalent in yandere dialogue, ha. Being blackmailed to kiss someone in front of a large group of people is tough...
Val is indeed a drug or a fix for Yuri. I can't deny that. And hey... a yandere spin-off is a cool idea...
Well, Val was able to stop Yuri, so I guess it's a W. Also, given the mental trauma of being in this simulation, I don't think I am going to let Frank play DDLC, for the sake of his sanity at this point. But hey, maybe I will.
Everyone hates harems! It's unrealistic, to say the least. And I probably wouldn't change the tags back to you know. (shhhhh keep it a secret) Val actually knows what Natsuki meant. He was just playing for time.
Yeah, putting some Monika fluff was kind of needed. And to say for your theory, you chose right. And it's a extremely important plot point. Good work!
And God, I think I dragged this whole day for waaaay too long. Sorry.
Oh yeah, the talk they are going to have is in the next chapter. Also, James and Gabe never made poems, since they were unaware of the fact that they were going to join...
Alrighty, I am saying to plan it out in your head and then write it out. Simulate it, if you need to. Getting into personalities can be tricky at first, but it is do-able once you do it a lot. I encourage you to try, I'll be there to munch on whatever you wrote.
I'll try to put some Tom and Monika interaction, they don't have much to talk about...
Project Control is indeed that powerful, but is it contained into the simulation and has some limits. When I get to climax of the story, then I can show ya.
That is actually a really, really good idea! That will be the finale of the beach chapter, since it can be quite fluid.
Alright! Go on and grind for that DLC! Thanks for the long review! Much appreciated!
Doctor, Yep, everything does go to shit! But it will all work out, don't worry!
Storm, You know, that would be some hacksaw ridge level shit right there...
Guardian, gottem good.
Val is actually that close to doing that, xd.
Rainbow karambit? More like shadow daggers from csgo like those look nice. and thots need some tap water. you want some tap water?
ITS FLITHY FRANK MUTHAFUCKAA, ITS FLITHY FRANK BITCH
lets get pussi tonite
Yuri cutting is always a bad sign.
Frank finally got the balls to be a man and stop a girl.
Well... climaxing is what Yuri did in act 2.
moist
The next chapter will surely be the end of the club meeting. I know I have dragged it out for too long, I am sorry.
Also I'll try to put some more filthy frank references and maybe get a joji sad n word hours in here.
Thanks for review.
P.S: SNeeki snek
ThunderAnt, Ikr? Your welcome.
Titan, Yeah 16 chapters? I dragged this out for too long.
Harem is a bygone age, sorry...
And yeah, the Tom and Sayori confession should be a bit more direct, my bad. But remember, there is two different Toms...
That would be sweet thing to think of, really.
And as usual, I wouldn't doubt ya. Thanks for opening to review regularly, dude. Much appreciated.
Darius, Thanks for following up on my story. Unfortunately, as much I would like to support you, I would rather stay in the confines of this website, as I am not comfortable moving to another site just yet. Thank your for understanding.
Big N, Man I love the user name and nick name you got me. I hope you stick around!
Roast Lord, I would say to hold off on reading this chapter and focus on work, but if you can multi-task, go for it. And I am not even sure how I managed to pull 3 fluffs in this chapter.
It's fine if you can't really make a long one, it's understandable.
Hmm, I understand... how about, needy? Or concerned? Those are less harsh than obsessive.
Also, I tried to fit Yuri's complex poem writing into here, as I took some inspiration from her poem from Act 1. But hey, I tried.
War, war never changes. No harems and the thing about them meeting up after school isn't a lie tho. They are going shopping, as per their agreement.
Nah, you aren't. xd
Monika is possessive as well. Haha!
Oh yeah, Big N is the review above you. Thanks for the review.
Tsudzukete, errr sorry no foursomes. But separate lemons on separate parts of the chapter.
And I fixed it, don't worry. Thanks for having a sharp eye!
Dickbag McGee, I definitely won't forget that, thanks for reminding me!
AydenK, Val has always been placed into these situations like these, unfortunately...
Anyway, that's all for now. The next chapter will be out Friday, as I am already 2k words down on that chapter.
Remember, reviews are very appreciated. I encourage readers to review on off plot points and what not. It gives me a chance to explain myself and fix some stuff. Thanks for understanding.
Have a great evening.
(5/25/18) AN: Chapter 34 is up! Please take a look my notes found at the end of this chapter.
Enjoy.
"Your... poem?" James questioned.
I nodded.
"Yeah, Jim. Didn't you and Gabe want to see my poem?"
James shrugged.
"Sure, I guess. Last time Gabe asked, he got yelled by those two." James coldly agreed.
James was one to hold grudges towards people. He tends to call people out on their actions and reprimands them for it.
When Yuri and Natsuki yelled at him and Gabe, he wouldn't let go.
But now? I think it's all fine...
He's a lot more... forgiving, than before.
Gabe piped up.
"Yeah... Anyway, let's see that shitty poem of yours."
He then mockingly smirked at me.
"You know Val, I thought you were down for bros before hoes." He stated, vaguely referencing the fight.
Gabe on the other hand was a more carefree and laid back character. He tends to forgive others more easily.
But now? I think it's all fine...
He bounced back a lot more easily, than before...
I smirked back, as I pulled out my poem.
"I know, I know... my bad." I apologized.
But then, I sighed.
"Well, you know... love changes people."
I handed my poem to them.
"And I am considered one of those... 'changed' peoples."
The boys chuckled.
"Yeah, okay. Just remember us when you get to top, alright?" Gabe said.
Tom also chortled.
"You might as well say that to me too, though." Tom pointed out.
Gabe paused for a second, taking the chance to think out his word choice.
"I would, but the thing is, Sayori seems to be a really nice girl. And she ain't a thot."
James shook his head.
"You do have a point, but she did yell us at the beginning of the meeting."
Tom decided to jump in.
"That's true, but you guys were high on the so called pump! It was kind of annoying for you two be around when you guys are like that."
I chuckled at his logic.
Gabe waved dismissively at him.
"Soy-boy."
"Soy-boy." I chimed in.
Tom looked at us perplexedly.
"What's a soy-boy?"
Our smirks grew more prominent.
"Don't worry, soy-boy." Gabe dismissed.
James grunted.
"C'mon guys, don't be like that. He's alright."
"Yeah!" Tom agreed. "What he said!"
Gabe rolled his eyes, dismissing the conflict.
"Aight, whatever. Tom's not a soy-boy. But Val might be."
I looked at him, shocked at what he was getting at.
"What? Why? How?"
He shrugged.
"Well, it's probably cause you have been hanging around with the girls, rather than being with us." James reasoned.
Gabe snickered.
"At this point, we might have to get Sayori as our fourth."
"Fourth?"
I was confused from the context.
I heard this before.
James covered his face in disappointment.
Gabe had an astonished look on his face.
"Bruh! Did you actually forget what a fourth meant?!"
A fourth?
A fourth...
They stared at me blankly, as if they were awaiting an answer from me.
But I was still trying to figure out what the meaning was.
I'm supposed to know this!
I swear! The more time I spend with the girls, the less I can relate to the guys!
Tom narrowed his eyes towards me.
"Val. Even I know what a fourth is. And I don't even play video games that much!" He exclaimed.
James eyed Tom.
"You don't? Then what do you even do in your free time?" James asked.
Tom shrugged nonchalantly.
"You know... anime and manga... that stuff."
James cringed at him.
"Jesus..." He muttered.
Tom looked at him, confused from James' sudden disgust.
I rolled my eyes at them.
James caught my eye-roll and focused his gaze on me.
"Don't you read manga with Natsuki?" He called out.
I scrunched up one eye and waved my hand in a so-so pattern.
"Kind of... she um... 'persuaded' me to read it. So I'm just giving it a chance..."
James shook his head in disgust.
Gabe grunted.
"Val, just answer the question. Do you remember what a fourth is or not?"
I frowned and looked away.
"Unfortunately, I don't remember."
Gabe sighed at me.
"Really, dude? Alright, a fourth is a fourth player in a party. How could you have forgotten that man?!"
He looked worried.
"Val, are you alright? I am kinda worried about you here. I don't know if those girls are being a good influence on you..."
James piped up.
"Yeah... I never saw a girl like Yuri or Natsuki get a that happy... especially when they were around you. And not to mention, Monika..."
I waved a hand at them.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I can handle them."
Well I hope I can, actually...
I don't know how much stress I can before breaking down.
"Alright." Gabe simply said. "I am just saying, cause they are just chewing up your free time, man."
"Aw, don't be like that! I'll still be around for games!" I defended.
Gabe shook his head.
"I don't think so, you seem to be pretty booked for the weekend. Today, you said you're gonna be shopping with Natsuki... Tomorrow, we are going to the beach, so we aren't going to be on... Saturday, I bet you have something to do, right?"
He stared at me, waiting for me answer.
I closed my eyes and rested my head back.
"Yeah... I do. I have to go on a date... with Monika."
James sighed disappointingly, picking off where Gabe left off.
"Yeah... right after that I think we gotta do festival plans, since the festival is on Monday."
Gabe tagged in.
"And then, we have the festival! So yeah, Val. Having Sayori as a fourth will help!"
I looked at him.
"Come on, Gabe... don't be like that! I will try to open up space for you guys!"
Gabe simply shook his head.
"Doesn't look like that, actually. You like hanging around those thots, more. S-M-H!"
I smirked.
"That's where you are wrong, Gabe. I am actually coerced into being with them..."
Everyone looked concerned.
Uh... that's not good.
"To an extent of course... I agreed, since I nothing better do. You guys weren't there at the time." I added.
Their expressions became relieved.
I can still say "no", right?
But I don't know about that now...
Gabe nodded.
"Anyway, I'm gonna read this."
He looked at James.
"Are you gonna read it with me or, you gonna try to finish all your homework before next Friday?"
James looked offended.
"Hey! Just cause I like to finish my work early, doesn't mean I can't participate in social activities!"
I eyed him.
"Jesus, Jim. 'Social activities'? I think you're getting too into your homework. Just have a look at my poem and take a breather." I suggested.
He shrugged and sighed.
"Fine. Let's read it."
James got up and walked over to Gabe.
He peered onto my poem and began reading it.
While they were reading it, I looked over to Tom.
"Hey, are you with Sayori?" I asked.
He smiled and nodded.
"Yep, and I couldn't be any happier. That weird feeling in my heart actually makes sense now..."
"Weird feeling? You mean love, huh?"
"If that's what it is, then sure. And the thing is, I have felt this weird feeling before... I felt it when I first found Sayori, back when were kids. You remember that, right?"
I nodded.
"Yeah, I do. You told me about this a while ago, at lunch. Sayori gave me her side of the story. She said she was lost and scared. Alone, hopeless... the list goes on. But when you came, she said that you were like a ray of sunshine."
Tom looked mildly shocked.
"A ray of sunshine?"
He shook his head.
"Never mind that. Like I was saying, I remember hugging Sayori. I was just... happy that I found her again. My heart felt like it was soaring in the air... that's how good it felt."
I smiled hopefully at him, happy that he found love and chuckled.
"Heheh... Tom, I am glad that you found love. It makes me happy to see this happen, especially if it is a childhood friend."
He smiled back.
I sighed, relieved from the current situation.
"Anyway, you said this wasn't the only time that you felt that way."
"It wasn't. I felt that way when I brought her chocolate ice cream, later that day... Gosh, seeing her happy makes me want to do more..."
I put a hand up to stop him.
"Wait, wait, wait... How old were you two?" I asked.
He eyed me strangely.
"I meant like how old were you two, to be out on the streets like that?" I rephrased.
He dropped his concerned look.
"Oh. We were like 8 or 9, at the time."
I raised both of my eyebrows.
"What? You were that age? Out on the streets?!"
Tom slowly nodded.
"Yeah...?" He replied, unsure of why I was surprised.
"Jesus Christ, Tom! My mom and dad would never let me go alone anywhere! Especially out in the streets!"
He shrugged.
"Well... we never really ventured out into places we didn't know... And besides, our moms were out shopping. So what else we were supposed to do? Follow them like drones?"
I felt my jaw drop.
"Well... yeah! Why wouldn't you? At the very least, you guys didn't have any portable devices? Like, I don't know, a Game Boy? Or something?"
He shook his head.
"Nope. I got my first video game when I was ten. My mom thought that games would make kids violent, and stuff. So I bided my time watching anime and manga."
I rolled my eyes at him and motioned him to continue.
"So... yeah. After I brought ice cream for Sayori, I gave her a kiss on the cheek... something about it made it feel... so right! Perfect! Like all is right in the world! That sort of right!" He proudly stated.
Gabe chuckled suddenly.
"I'm not gonna lie..." Gabe piped up, having overheard our conversation. "If you weren't quote on quote, dense, then you wouldn't have you know... took so long."
James agreed.
"Yeah, you took a Hell of a long time, any later and you could have missed your chance. Believe me, guys that wait too long to confess can cause girls to move on and see them only as a friend."
Tom gave a breath of relief at this.
"Well, I owe it to Val. He saved my ass from taking too long."
He looked over to me.
"Thanks, Val. I really appreciate it. I should have been more... sure of my feelings for her."
I smiled at him.
"Yeah. No sweat, Tom. I got your back. Besides, I really needed to fix the tension between you two." I replied.
I cleared my throat and focused my gaze at Gabe and James.
"Anyway, enough of this mushy shit. How you guys like my poem?"
James was the first one to open his mouth to reply.
"Well I-"
That is, until the closet door swung open with immense force.
We all flinched from the sudden opening of the door.
"Holy shit..." I muttered absentmindedly.
Monika walked out of the door and looked around.
"Val~!" She called.
Once she caught eyes on me, she smiled.
But I didn't smile back.
I felt the color evaporate from my face.
Uh oh...
Tom whistled.
"Hey, Val. I have a feeling that your girlfriend needs you."
Gabe chuckled.
"You mean, girlfriends! Haha!"
I gave them a glare before I got up from my seat.
I slowly strolled over to Monika.
Once I gotten close to her, she gave me a quick peck on the cheek and pulled me to the closet.
She closed the door behind me and I saw both Yuri and Natsuki smiling at me.
"So, um..." I awkwardly started.
Monika walked with and grinned at me.
I stared back at them awkwardly and waved at them.
They didn't really respond.
It was as if they were expecting me to say something.
But unfortunately, I didn't catch onto their signals.
Is this a joke?
Why aren't they saying anything?
I bounced my focus on Yuri, Natsuki and Monika.
They were still grinning at me.
I mustered an awkward smile.
This is a bit creepy...
I continued to look at them, before losing interest.
I pulled out my phone and turned it on.
In order for this all to progress, I decided to look as if I was interested on something, since I was stumped on what I should do.
I took small glimpses between them and my phone.
I noticed that all three girls were getting closer and closer towards me.
It got to the point where they were mushed together, cheek to cheek, and just smiling at me.
I tried to look down at my phone but Yuri's hand covered my screen.
I noticed at each girl's eyes were laser focused and smaller.
As if they were piercing my very soul.
Completely hollow.
I closed my eyes and sighed.
"What...?" I asked, annoyed by their silence.
They didn't respond.
They continued to stare at me.
What's their deal?
It's pretty creepy...
"Okay... you guys are starting to creep me out. Stop it." I demanded.
They advanced towards me.
Their faces a few inches away from me.
"What do you guys want?!" I asked, frightened from their silence and peculiar behavior.
All of a sudden, they started to giggle.
Their giggling turned into full-blown laughter.
My uneasiness soared to new limits.
What the fuck?
"Oh gooosh!" Yuri let out. "That was very amusing!"
Natsuki was holding down her stomach, in pain from the laughter she was experiencing.
"I knooow! This was hilarious!" She agreed through small bursts of uncontrollable laughter. "Nice thinking, Monika!"
I looked at Monika, who was having a blast.
"Thanks! Hahaha!"
I felt my jaw unlock.
"Wait... this was your idea?"
"Ahaha! Yes! It was something I always wanted to with the girls!" She admitted.
I eyed them all.
She always wanted to do that?
How is this funny?
Is it because I creeped out?
Whatever, it's done now.
I rolled my eyes.
"Are you three done?" I asked, impatient by their skit and charades.
They slowly stopped laughing.
"Yeah... we are. So! Now that you are here, we can finally talk about what is going to happen in the beach!" Monika declared.
Uh oh.
"I don't like where this is going..." I muttered.
They all smirked at me.
"Aw, don't be a spoilsport Val!" Natsuki exclaimed. "It's going to be fun!"
Yuri nodded.
"Yes! It definitely will be!" She agreed.
The unsteady feeling within me lingered.
"Alright, then Monika. What is going to happen while we all in the beach?"
Monika's smirk grew to a smile.
"Well... there isn't going to be any limitations when we get there!"
The already unsteady feeling, sunk.
Limitations?
That doesn't sound good.
"Limitations? What do you mean, limitations? What is there to hold back?"
Monika kept her beaming smile and shrugged.
"Ah, you know. No limits on how far we can go, and stuff like that." She vaguely explained.
On far we can go?
Oh no.
No, no, no!
I felt a wave of unease pass onto me.
I gulped.
"You mean... sex? Sex is allowed?!" I muttered, hoping that I was wrong.
They all slowly nodded.
My eyes widened.
Holy fuck...
These girls...
Have they lost it?
Has maddening love clouded their judgement?
I am going to have to stay the Hell away from them...
Yuri held my hand in an effort to ease me.
And to an extent, it helped.
"Valkyrie, you know that we all have competition to have you, right?"
I looked at her in disbelief.
I couldn't believe the words coming from Yuri's mouth.
She knows?
Who told her?
Monika?
Monika could have told her.
But she didn't freak out when she heard the news?
That's impressive...
Nevertheless, I agreed.
"Yeah..." I uttered.
Natsuki stepped forwards and grabbed my other hand.
"And because of that, we are going to prove ourselves to you!" She declared. "We aren't going to share you, Val. We all want you for ourselves."
Monika stepped in.
"Since we love you, and you love us back, we aren't going to hold back anymore." She hardened her stare at me.
"And you shouldn't either. This a test to show how much each of us love you. And which one will be yours..."
God damn it.
God fucking damn it!
I fell for these girls...
And now they are going to whatever they can to grab ahold me!
I pulled my hands away from Yuri and Natsuki, and took a step back.
"Wait... let me get this straight..."
I took a deep breath to compose myself.
"Okay. So, all of you are going to whatever it takes to prove yourselves?"
They all took a step forward to close the distance.
"Of course, Valkyrie. You told all of us that you were going to choose one, at Friday."
Natsuki piped up.
"Yeah! If you are going to choose one of us, then we gotta give it our all!"
I put a hand up to halt their advance.
"So that includes... sex? I would like to keep my virginity, thanks." I dismissed, and moved towards the door.
But, Yuri and Natsuki blocked the entrance.
"Where do you think you're going?" Natsuki asked.
"We aren't done, Valkyrie~!" Yuri sang.
I shook my head.
"I want no part in this! Let me go!" I demanded.
They glared at me.
"No!" They yelled in perfect synchronization.
I glared back.
The door is my ticket to freedom.
But these two are blocking it...
"You do know that I can push you two out of the way, right? So, let me go."
Monika tapped my shoulder, causing me to slightly turn my head.
"You can... but you won't."
My glare lessened.
"What do you mean that, 'I won't?'"
Yuri walked up to my side and place her hand on my shoulder.
I felt her purple search my body lecherously.
I felt her breath tickle my ear.
I wanted to turn to her...
But my focus was getting the Hell out.
"You won't do that. We are just innocent girls, Valkyrie." She whispered.
Her voice grew misty.
"Innocent, love-struck girls..."
I felt her breath on my cheek.
She gave it a small kiss.
A small kiss that turned into a small bite...
A small bite that turned to seductively licking...
I balled my fists up and tried retain my focus.
It took all my willpower to stop myself from losing it.
And I was succeeding in doing so.
Even then, there was a small voice in me, telling me to stay.
To listen.
But I crushed it down.
And it was locked in, all of sounds were shackled.
But then, Natsuki also walked up to my side and placed her hand on my other shoulder.
Her pink eyes ogling my body.
My ear fell victim to her hot breath.
But, I still held a strong dedication to leaving.
I need to go.
I need to go!
I can't stay here!
"Val~... you wouldn't hurt us... right? We just want to talk..."
She bit onto the side of my ear.
Her fang sank into the flesh of my ear.
My body shivered from the bite she gave.
I felt jittery.
Like I can collapse onto to the floor...
It paralyzed me.
My eyes bulged out.
My focus on leaving, was being wavered.
I felt my breathing starting to become erratic and unsteady.
I want to go!
I don't want to go!
No!
...
Do I want freedom?
Monika giggled.
I felt her emerald green eyes pierce the back of my skull.
As if they were...
All-knowing...
Omniscient...
"You wouldn't hurt us, Val? Would you? You would never hurt us." She whispered.
She pushed against me.
Her breasts pressed against my back.
I felt her hands trace my body.
They found their way to my crotch.
Her curious hands slowly caressing my groin.
"You would never hurt us." She whispered.
"Never."
Monika then bit into my collarbone.
Her teeth softly chewed on the flesh of my neck.
She sucked on my neck.
I felt as if I was internally shaking, unable to cope with the euphoria I was experiencing.
I looked towards the door.
It's shining light, now being a haze of darkness.
I wouldn't...
...
Would I?
But I can't fight anymore...
"Alright!"
I gently pushed them off of me.
Yuri stopped licking and let go of my left cheek.
Natsuki stopped nibbling on the side of my right ear.
And Monika stopped her assault on the crook of my neck.
The cool, wet feeling on each of those parts fazed me.
I felt as if I was completely defeated.
But somehow, I had the strength to walk...
I walked to the side of the wall to cement my consent to say.
"Continue." I simply requested.
Monika smiled at me.
And it was not her real or fake one.
It was something much more.
"Val... We are going to show how much we will dedicate ourselves to you. We are going to do whatever takes to be with you. And that is why we aren't going to stop until you make a choice."
Her smile turned to a sinister grin.
I took a step back from her sudden grin.
"Or... have you already chosen, already?"
"What? No! I haven't-"
Her eyes turned crazed, her right eye now twitching.
"It's me, right? Tell me I am right!"
Yuri pushed Monika away, her eyes now completely focused on me.
"Valkyrie is mine! Fate has bounded us together! Don't you want eat, sleep, and read with me? Forever?"
Natsuki pushed Yuri away, her eyes now a darker shade of pink.
"NO! He's mine! He want to play with me! Aren't you going to play with me?! You don't want to me to go home crying? Right? Right?! Then play with me!"
Monika pushed them all away.
"Jones is mine! He understands how it feels to be lonely all the time! He is all mine! You're mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine!"
They slowly advanced towards me, each of them crawling on top of one another, push at each other, all the while smiling at me.
"Choose me!"
"Choose me!"
"Choose me!"
I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth at the rapidly deteriorating situation.
They all completely lost it.
What's wrong with them...?
What the Hell?!
I slowly opened my eyes again.
They were grinning at me, desperate on receiving an answer.
I felt horrified that these 'girls' were throwing themselves at me.
They are obsessed about me.
Oh God...
This is a nightmare!
Tell me this is just a nightmare!
This can't be happening!
Oh God!
They backed me to a wall.
They came advancing me slowly.
My hopes for all this being a nightmare was like all for naught.
Nothing would stop it.
Only I could.
Enough!
I am going to stop this!
Because... all of this wrong!
This will not go on!
I took a defiant step forward.
"Stop this! All of you! This is getting ridiculous!" I growled.
They continued to walk up to me.
I stomped on the ground, affirming my stance.
"STOP IT!" I yelled.
They stopped in their tracks.
They were completely silent from my yell.
They were looking at me, shocked that I yelled at them.
I grinded my teeth, completely horrified and irked by their behavior.
But then...
I sighed.
"Stop it. Stop fighting over me! I mean... there is more to life than love... Like sports, family, food, friends!" I listed at the top of my head.
They all gave their rapt attention.
I continued.
"You guys don't have to reduce yourselves to a petty competition! You don't have to do this... You girls are better than this!" I attempted to persuade.
They all kept silent.
I thought they were processing what I just said.
There was small hope that they would stop.
Just stop to think about they were getting themselves into.
But then, they gave a low hiss towards me, an blaring signal that they will not falter.
Guess not.
Why would things ever go my way?
"There was... before you came into our lives!" Yuri exclaimed.
"You made us like this! And it is because of your doubts that led to this! If this is petty, then we don't give a fuck!" Natsuki followed up.
"We want you. And we are going to fight for you. We are going to do whatever it takes to be on your side. So that's why... there is nothing more... besides you. Because, at Friday. You are going to belong to one of us. And whoever that lucky girl is, is she will be yours." Monika concluded.
I looked away in complete disappointment.
"Damn it..." I muttered under my breath.
I then sighed.
"Fine. If you girls want me so badly, what are the so-called rules, Monika?"
"I already said it." She beamed." No limits. And no one can interfere with each other whenever we are around you. Anything can happen."
I nodded.
"If there's nothing else, I would like to walk out of this door and look like as if nothing has ever happened." I coldly stated.
"That is all." Monika simply said.
She then looked to both Natsuki and Yuri.
"May the best girl win."
I scowled at them and walked around them, leaving them behind.
I twisted the door knob and opened the door.
And I finally walked out.
Now with more unease to my health.
Despite the unease, a wave of strange relief washed over me as I walked out.
They are taking this beach competition to a whole new level.
I won't be a virgin after Friday.
Great...
This is just great.
I'm going to have to rely on my friends to get me out...
"Sticky situations"
Or am I on my own?
I looked towards them.
They were enjoying each other's company.
Laughing, playing, punching...
They don't deserve that.
They don't deserve to take part in my struggles and be burdened by me...
I created this Hell when I fell for them.
And now I have to pay...
But...
I don't want to pay...
I just want to move on...
The door behind me opened and out came the three girls.
I didn't bother to take a glimpse behind me.
But life won't.
I will stay stuck here...
I simply walked to my friends and took a seat next to them, finding solace in their comforting auras.
James noticed my change in behavior.
"Val, did everything go all right in there?" He worriedly asked.
I forced a fake smile.
"Yeah, I am fine. Don't worry."
I'm going to have to choose a girl tomorrow.
And they are going to do whatever they can to get me by their side.
By any means necessary...
Sex, manipulation, blackmailing...
All is legal.
And I can't stop them.
I made them like this.
He wasn't convinced, however.
He shouldn't worry about me.
This is my mess.
There is no need to spill it to their lives...
I don't think I can handle this anymore...
"Alright. If there's something you can't handle, just tell us, okay?" James assured.
I nodded.
"Of course, Jim."
There was an empty seat next to me.
Tom and Gabe were sitting in separate spots around me.
I hurriedly motioned them to come over to me.
Somehow, they understood my intentions and hastily took seats next to me.
I don't want any girls to be around me.
Especially after that little scene.
They went completely yandere there.
And it freaked me out.
And I hate being freaked out.
The girls walked over to me and gave me signals to have one of them by my side.
I didn't pick them up, instead I kept a cold and hard glare towards them, not budging at all.
I crossed my arms and scoffed at them.
They reluctantly sat together, with Monika sitting in between with Yuri and Natsuki.
There's still someone missing...
"Tom? Where's Sayori?" I asked.
He pointed towards the door.
Behind the window of the door, Sayori playfully attached herself to it, her face being smushed in.
I roll my eyes.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go." I ordered.
He gave a light chuckle and walked up to door.
Once he opened the door, Sayori charged in and gave a monstrous hug.
She jumped and landed in his arms, giggling all the while.
Everyone observed the spectacle, each having a different degree of patience.
Eventually, they walked towards the group.
Tom sat next to me, while Sayori sat right next to him.
Now that everyone was seated, Monika cleared her throat.
"Okay, everyone!" She sang in her cheery voice.
"We have lots to discuss in this meeting! So let's start off with the beach!"
James spoke up.
"The beach? What do we need to discuss, really?"
"Well, how we are going go there, silly!" Monika replied. "Does anyone have any suggestions on getting there?"
We all took a quick minute to think about transportation.
However, my mind wasn't at ease to think about this.
They freaked out on me, and yet they act like nothing has happened...
I took glance towards Yuri and Natsuki.
Both of which were surprisingly discussing the plans.
I glanced towards Monika to see her speaking with Sayori.
"Yo, Val." Gabe called.
I tiredly look at him.
"Yeah?" I asked in an extremely drawled voice.
"Um... you okay? You look like some shit went down in that closet..."
He's worried too...
I faked a smile.
A smile that would help get through the day.
"Yeah, I am fine... what did you guys talk about on how we will get there?" I dismissed.
Gabe gave a quick look of worry before shrugging it off.
"Jim says that we should take the trains there... is there any train-lines here?" He asked Tom.
Tom shrugged.
"Yeah, there is. But there has to be better ways to get there."
James tapped my shoulder.
"Wait, Val. Doesn't your parents have a 8 seat SUV? Also, I'm pretty sure the driving law is pretty lenient around here... And aren't you 18?"
I put a hand in front of him.
"Easy, Jim. One question at a time..."
He gave a small chortle.
"Heheh, sorry. Just got a little excited there."
I nodded in understanding.
"Alright, I think I could use my parent's SUV for tomorrow. If you are asking for my driver's license, I already have one. You know... since I am 18." I replied.
James smiled in hopes of using the SUV to go to the beach.
He tapped on both Tom and Gabe's shoulders.
James told them of our so-called plan.
But it wouldn't work, most likely.
I'm pretty sure that my parents found out that I was cuddling with Monika, while we were sleeping...
But God! That was a really refreshing sleep!
I felt I could sleep for even longer!
Her warm body against mine...
It all feels amazing!
I looked towards Monika.
She was still talking to Sayori.
I don't know about that anymore...
Considering what happened in that closet...
It's as if I don't know her...
Tom and Gabe leaned in for the confirmation of the game plan.
"Okay! So it's settled then?" James asked.
I shook my head.
Sorry guys.
"I don't think so. My parents are probably mad at me, so I don't think I can even use the SUV." I denied.
Tom raised an eyebrow.
"What? Why would they be mad at you?" He questioned.
Gabe pressed me.
"Yeah, Val. Why are they mad at you? And besides, aren't your parents cool and shit? They are really chill guys, if I remember right..."
I sighed.
"I would rather not say."
They all looked severely disappointed.
And it hurt me.
"Look... can we just find another way to get there?"
Tom was going to suggest something, but he got caught off by Monika's voice clearing.
"Okay! But did you boys think? How do you suggest we get there?"
I leaned back onto my chair, taking a condescending posture and decided to respond for them.
"We said, that it could take the train and go from there." I suggested.
Yuri was the first to respond.
"I like Valkyrie's idea!"
Natsuki followed up.
"Yeah, me too!"
Monika looked conflicted.
It was as if she was having in an internal conflict within herself.
She bit her lips and exhaled.
Monika put up her imperfect smile and looked at me.
"I agree. Val's idea is pretty good!" She joyfully responded.
I eyed them, suspicious of their agreements towards me.
Sayori meekly piped up.
"Um... guys? Didn't we agree that we say our plan first?"
Natsuki, Yuri, and Monika were simply staring at me, not responding to Sayori.
I ignored their stares.
Instead, I looked at her and motioned her continue.
"Go ahead, Sayori."
She beamed at me.
"Okay! I was thinking that we let Monika's dad drop us off! Afterwards he can come back later, to pick us up!" She suggested, her voice having a new timbre of absolute joy.
Sayori looked at the staring trio.
"Isn't that right guys? It's a bit more convenient than Val's idea, right?"
One by one, their expressions started to change.
Instead of them smiling, they soured into irritation and aggrieved.
That's not good.
I need to intervene.
"Actually! I have a better idea!" I stated, hoping it deter the girls' backlash to Sayori.
And it did.
Their attention completely diverted towards me.
Their piercing eyes made me hesitate to speak.
"Um... my other idea was that I could drive everyone to the beach using my parent's SUV."
Their attentive expression turned into awe.
"You could drive, Val?" Monika asked with a dreamy undertone.
I slowly nodded.
"Yeah... I can." I slowly said. "But, I need to get permission from my parents first."
By saying that, it brought another question in my mind.
"You guys asked your parents about all this, right?" I asked everyone, glancing around the room.
They all gave signs of affirmation.
"Right... should I call them now? Or-"
Monika cut me off.
"Call them now, I can speak to them." She proudly declared.
Aw shit...
I pulled out my phone and dialed my house phone number.
I walked to the exit to the door, readying myself for a reprimand from my parents.
"Valkyrie! Where are you going?" Yuri asked from a distance.
I glanced towards her.
"I'm just going to speak with my parents, Yuri. I'm not leaving..." I assured, before I turned the doorknob to exit.
"I'll be back." I declared.
The cool air greeted me when I exited the classroom.
Jesus, I feel as if I can finally breathe...
I held the phone against my ear and waited for them to pick up.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
They picked up.
"Hello?" A young voice greeted.
Mike.
"Hey, Mike. What's up? Can you give the phone to Dad? I need to speak with them."
"Okay!"
There were audible footsteps in the background.
"Wait, Val. Where are you, anyway?"
"I'm in the literature club with Gabe and Jim. Why?"
"Gabe and Jim? Whoa, whoa, wait! Gabe and Jimmy are in town?! That means I can play with Alex and Jason!"
Right... I forgot that Gabe and Jim have siblings.
Gabe has a younger brother named Alex, and he is a grade older than my brother.
Jim also has a younger brother named Jason, and he is on the same grade as my brother.
They both come over occasionally to play with Mike.
"Yeah... that doesn't explain why you asked where I was, Mike."
"Oh... I asked cause I'm booored! I want to play some games with you, bro!"
"Well, I won't be coming home anytime soon. So... why don't you call over your friends?"
"Oh yeah! Right!"
I sighed.
Sometimes my brother can be a bit of an airhead...
"Mom! Mom! Val's on the phone!"
"Ah! I was just about to call him. Thanks for picking up, sweetie!"
"No problem, Ma!"
I heard a shuffle, indicating that the phone was being handled to my mother.
"Hello? Valkyrie?"
Crap... I don't know how to start off...
"Err... um... Hi Ma!" I awkwardly greeted, hoping that she would somehow forget about this morning.
"Don't 'Hi Ma', me mister!" Her voice rose, showing vexation.
Aw shit...
"Look, mom, if it's about the-"
"Don't you dare explain it to me, mister! We know what happened!"
"Deborah? Are you on the phone with Val?"
"Yes, honey! Come over here!"
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
I heard another shuffle, most likely my mom giving the phone to my dad.
"Val." My dad greeted.
"Hey... dad."
"We saw what you did with Monika in the guest room."
My father's voice was unusually calm and steady, as I expected him to be angry.
But then again, my dad can never be angry at me...
"You betrayed our trust and decided to the unthinkable."
I sighed, in guilt.
"I know, and I'm sorry..."
"Val. Your mother and I are..."
They paused the inevitable.
They wanted me to feel the suspense.
"Very happy!"
"I know... what?!" I asked in shock.
Both my mom and dad started to laugh.
"Hahaha! My little boy is now a man! We're so proud of you!"
"What...?"
"How did you do it, son? Did you do ol' trick I taught ya?"
"Harold! Give me the phone!" My mom demanded excitedly.
I heard another shuffle in the background.
"Oooh! Vally! How many grandkids am I going to get?! One, two, three? Or maybe even more?!"
"Hey, I wouldn't mind having more than 3."
My face burned in complete and utter embarrassment.
"I'm so proud of my little baby! I knew it the moment you two set eyes on each other! Oh! It was so romantic! Love at first sight! You grew up so fast!"
I gritted my teeth and squeezed my eyes shut, trying to hold back the embarrassment I was feeling right now.
"Harold! We got to plan for our baby's-"
"MOM! Monika and I didn't have sex!"
This paused their rampage of hopes and dreams.
"Vally...? Then what did you do with Monika, last night?" My mom asked with suspicion.
I sighed heavily.
"I'll tell you and dad, mom. Put me on speaker."
*Beep*
"Okay... I did what you said to dad, like a good boy. I went to my room and tried to sleep."
"You tried?" My dad asked, confused from the context I was giving.
"Yeah... I tried, so I decided that I go outside and listen to some music to get drowsy." I reasoned.
"But how did Monika and you...?" My mom questioned.
"Right, about that. When I was listening to music, I saw Monika walking up to me. She was shivering, so I gave her my coat and gave her a hug to warm her up. Apparently, Monika had a nightmare and was looking for me so she could get comfortable enough to sleep again."
Sounds of understanding came from the speaker.
"But the thing is... Monika was scared to go to sleep. So I decided that I needed to sleep right besides her. And I knew that you guys would get mad at me for sleeping next to her, but I still took the risk..."
My mom gave a dreamy sigh.
"How romantic..." I heard her mutter.
I continued.
"So after we got into the room, we tried to sleep again. It was awkward on how me and her shared a bed. I mean, I was sharing a bed with a girl! But, we managed to fall asleep. All was good but, for some reason, I heard Monika muttering and crying in her sleep. So I woke her up. She said that she had another nightmare. And it was there that I needed to hold her, make her feel safe by any means necessary. And it was there, that we cuddled..."
There was a long pause on the other side of the line.
"Did you like to hold Monika, Vally?" My mom asked.
I cleared my throat.
"I... um... yeah, mom. I actually liked having Monika in my arms. But that's not what I am trying to say here. I'm saying that I needed to cuddle with Monika, in order for her to sleep properly and happily. Turned out, she slept comfortably and that is what made me relived."
I sighed again.
"I know that I disobeyed you guys, but how could I let her suffer? I needed to something."
My dad cleared his throat.
"Sport. You made me the happiest man on Earth. You actually went out of your way to do what was right. Words can't describe how happy I am right now."
I heard my mother weeping.
"Mom?" I called.
"Vally... that was so romantic! I am so happy that you found someone you could care for and protect... my little baby... Oh..."
I couldn't help but smile.
"Thanks, Mom."
I heard my dad give a breath of relief.
"Son, please say that you love her. You two have a special bond together..."
I closed my eyes.
I was going to confess...
I'm going to tell them that I love her.
I opened my eyes.
"Yes, dad. I love Monika. And she loves me back."
"That's good, son. That's really good."
I felt a sharp dagger pierce my heart.
But I betrayed Yuri and Natsuki...
Shit...
What should I do?
I'll talk to them later about it...
Right now... I need to ask them what I called for.
"Anyway, dad. I have a favor-"
I heard the door open and close right beside me.
I turned to see who it was.
Monika...
She sported a regretful frown as she approached me.
Despite our encounter back in the closet, I gave her a small smile at her.
And she smiled back.
She didn't hesitate to give me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah... I have a favor to ask you. Can I use the car to drive to the beach tomorrow?"
My dad was obviously confused by this.
"Tomorrow? Don't you have school tomorrow?"
Monika tapped my shoulder and gave a "give me it" motion to me.
I complied.
"Hold on, dad. Talk to Monika for a sec."
I gave my phone to her.
With beaming smile, she put the phone on her ear.
"Hello, Mr. Jones!"
"Hey there, little lady! How are you doing?"
"I'm good, Mr. Jones! Thank you for asking!"
"Harold! Give me the phone!"
Monika arched an eyebrow from the sudden switch of parents.
"Um... hello?" Monika greeted.
"Ah! Hi, sweetie!" My mom greeted back. "I just wanted to say, thank you for choosing my little baby! I am very, very proud of him right now! And I can't thank you enough, sweetie!"
I chuckled from my mother's outburst.
Monika looked at me with a puzzled expression, feeling embarrassed from my mom.
It was expression that said: "What did you say to them?"
I grinned at her confusion.
I moved up to her ear and whispered.
"I love you."
Her confusion turned into shock from the realization of what my words meant.
She slowly looked at me, her look of shock turned into heart-warming happiness.
I wrapped my arm around her and brought her in close.
She rested her head on my chest and sighed.
"Your welcome, Deborah. Val is just... everything I ever wanted. Thank you and Mr. Jones for raising him to how he is today."
My mom gave a dreamy sigh.
"Anytime, sweetie."
I whispered in her other ear.
"Ask them about the car, Mon. You can convince moms to do your bidding right?"
She turned her head to me and nodded proudly.
"Ah, Deborah. We have a large favor to ask you..." Monika started off.
"What is it, dear?"
She cleared her throat.
"We don't have any school tomorrow and I would like to take my... boyfriend to beach, along with our friends. My boyfriend said that he can drive us there. So, all I am asking if you could allow my boyfriend to drive us there..."
Without a second to think about it, my mom responded.
"Why of course, honey! How many people are going? Besides you and Vally?"
"Ah, the literature club is coming with us. So, that's six other people... besides me and Vally."
Monika looked up at me with a condescending smile on her face.
She playfully stuck her tongue out.
I gave her a small glare.
My dad then spoke up.
"Six? Last night, you mentioned that there were six members, including you and Val. Who are the other two?"
"Oh, those two? They are Val's friends from before you moved, I think..."
She looked up to me.
"Isn't that right Val?"
I pressed the speakerphone on my phone.
"Yeah, dad. Gabe and James moved into this city recently."
My dad gasped in surprise.
"Wait, really?!" My dad yelled excitedly.
We could have sworn that his yell made our hair float for a split second.
"Yeah..."
My dad are good friends with my friends' dads.
It was impressive that our dads had the same friendship as ours.
"Oh yeah! The boys are back in town!"
"Harold! We agreed that this weekend would be only us two! No outside interactions!"
"Sorry, sugar booger! It's been a while since the guys hung out! We have got to do this!"
"Argh! Once we are done with this, we are going to have a talk!"
Me and Monika giggled from our parents little scene.
"Um... in that case, the keys to the car are yours, son! Man! I can't wait to go with the- Uh... Deborah? What are you doing with that? Oh no... Not that movie!"
Monika took the chance hang up.
I should get Tom's dad to meet the others...
Eh... I will do it later.
"Well... that was easy." I commented.
"Yeah..." She muttered.
Monika was feeling a bit off.
And I noticed it.
"Monika? Is there something wrong?"
She looked up to me, tears tugging the sides of her green pupils.
Why is she about to cry?!
What happened?!
"Monika-"
"I'm sorry!"
I raised an eyebrow.
"What? Why are you sorry? And why are you about to cry?" I asked.
My questions fell into deaf ears.
"I am so, so, sorry!"
I held her.
"Monika... what's wrong? Why are you tearing up?"
"I-I... I called you my boyfriend in front of your parents!"
Wait...
I heard her say boyfriend multiple times!
How come I didn't notice that?!
"I know that you didn't make a choice, and stuff... but saying that you are my boyfriend felt so... right! I couldn't stop myself from saying that so many times!"
I hugged her.
"It's okay, Monika... It's nothing to worry about." I assured.
But, she pulled away from me.
Tears still threatened to fall from her eyes.
Her emerald green eyes...
She looked away from me.
"Also... I feel really bad from... doing all that in the closet with you and those two... I don't know what came over me! My heart was constantly pounding and my mind was racing at a million thoughts per second!"
I sighed.
"Right... about that. Don't worry about-"
Monika looked towards me again.
"I felt so... obsessed over you! Like yandere obsessed! And-and..."
She closed her eyes, and tears started to fall from down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry."
She opened them again, her eyes now being sullen and fatigued.
Her mouth quivered, unable to formulate any words.
"I bet that you hate me now... it was shameful on how I behaved around you. It was almost... psychotic."
I couldn't take a self-berating Monika.
I held her tightly.
It was hug that ensured that I would never let her go.
And she hugged back.
"Monika. It's okay. I forgive you."
She sniffled.
"You won't ever leave my side, right? You promised that you won't... but..."
I chuckled.
"Monika, I always keep my promises. And I promised that we will always be together. Okay?"
She pulled away from me.
And she was smiling.
"Thank you, Val."
"No problem, Mon. Now, are we going to go back in or what?" I asked, concerned from the amount of time that has been burnt.
She giggled.
"Hehe! First, I want a kiss!" She playfully demanded.
I smirked.
"Alright, let's just get to a safe distance away from everyone, okay?"
We took a few steps away from the classroom's door-window.
Once we were a suitable distance away, Monika puckered her lips and leaned in.
First things first.
I placed a finger on her lips.
"Not so fast."
She opened her eyes and was surprised.
Now that I got her attention...
"Monika, we are going to have simple kiss, alright? No tricks or anything, got it? I don't want a re-run of last time."
She moved her lips away from my finger to speak.
"Aww! How'd you know?"
I shrugged.
"I don't know, it's probably cause of your mischievous gleams in your eyes." I nonchalantly pointed out.
She pouted.
"Prude!"
Monika then crossed her arms.
I couldn't help but grin slightly from how adorable she was right now.
I leaned in.
And she hurriedly grabbed onto my neck and brought her lips to mine.
As we closed our eyes, we let the sensation flow past us.
Chocolate...
Her lip's always taste like chocolates, and I love it.
I daringly pressed against her lips, creating pressure between us.
She gave a small moan in my mouth, as the saliva started to leak down to her chin.
This pressure allowed her to seize the opportunity to further deepen the kiss.
Her tongue traced against my lips, in hopes of letting my tongue tangle with hers.
Why not...?
This feels amazing...
I don't care anymore...
I opened my mouth, allowing her tongue to attack mine.
My tongue awoke and delivered a counter-attack, thus initiating the battle for dominance.
Our tongues fought with extreme intensity, fighting in new degrees.
It created lots of passion.
Monika released her arms and draped one on my shoulders.
She took her free hand and grabbed my hand.
Her free hand led my hand upwards.
And it landed on her breasts.
She squeezed my hand, causing my hand to squeeze her breast.
Okay...
That's enough.
I pulled away from Monika.
"Monika, that's enough. Anymore of this and it will lead to the same thing as before..."
She tried to frown, but her expression looked as if she was holding something back.
What's going on, why is oh-
I realized that my hand was still on her breast.
"Ack! Sorry, sorry!"
I pulled away from her breast.
Monika then frowned, looking disappointed.
"Seriously? Your hands are so big and... never mind! We are going to continue this later tonight!"
Wait, tonight?
She pulled my hand.
"Let's go, Val! They are probably going to get suspicious if we stay here for too long."
I rolled my eyes.
Seriously? That's what I said!
We hastily make it back to the classroom.
The room felt rather... pungent.
Everyone looked towards us and we scattered almost immediately.
I walked in front of everyone and cleared my voice.
"Okay, everyone. So good news! We are all going to the beach using my parent's SUV."
Everyone cheered, except for the boys.
They shrugged, knowing that it would happen.
I smirked.
"And I have better news! I am going to be the one to drive you guys there!"
I gave everyone a thumbs-up.
Ugh... why did I do that?
Gabe and James cringed from my cheery attitude, while Tom had an expression of small disappointment.
Meanwhile, the girls were having a riot.
Natsuki looked at me.
I looked back at her.
"Val, can I ride shotgun with you!" Natsuki started.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Uh..."
Monika crossed her arms.
"No! I call dibs! I want to sit next to Val!" Monika argued.
Yuri gritted her teeth.
"None of you will sit next to Valkyrie! I will!" Yuri condescendingly stated.
Okay, seriously?
These girls are ridiculous sometimes...
I took the chance to intervene.
"Okay, knock it off you three! When the day happens, I'll choose who gets to sit right next to me. Jesus..."
I cleared my throat.
"The plan is that everyone comes over to my house, so we all can go straight into the beach. Pack some sunscreen, extra clothes, umbrellas, and whatever else that is needed to have a good time. Alright?"
Everyone nodded vigorously.
I motioned Monika to take the lead.
She walked into the center of attention.
"Okay, everyone! I hope we all had a fun time sharing poems with each other! As you all know, Monday is the day of the festival! So I've decided that we all work together to make this club the best and friendliest one yet! So that is why each of you will have a certain job to do!"
Monika looked towards Yuri.
"Yuri, are you able to handle the task of making the decorations for the festival?" She asked.
Yuri nodded.
"Normally, I would doubt my ability to do handle such a task. But now?"
Yuri shifts her gaze towards me, smiling.
"I can do it. I'll be in charge of decorations! And not only, that. I will throw my knowledge of aromatherapy into the mix!" She proudly declared.
Yuri's confidence made me feel great inside.
It was feeling that I did something right...
"That's good! Thank you, Yuri."
Monika then moved onto Sayori.
"Sayori, as vice-president of the literature club, I give you the task of handling the miscellaneous tasks for the festival!"
Sayori looked confused.
"Miscelanyious?"
Tom spoke up.
"It's means assorted work, small but important for the festival." Tom clarified.
Sayori sparkled with joy.
"Yay! I can't wait! Who am I going to work with?"
Monika pondered on her question.
"I don't know yet, we'll see, Sayori. Don't worry."
Monika moves onto Natsuki.
"Okay, Natsuki... can you take the task of baking cupcakes for everyone that comes?"
Natsuki grinned, her fang prominently sticking outwards.
"Of course, I can! I can bake enough cupcakes for everyone!"
Her grin then widened.
"That is... if I get help from a certain someone..."
Natsuki looked over to me.
Uh oh.
I tried to play it dumb.
"Oh gee! I wonder who that would be! So what are you going to Monika?" I asked, in hopes of changing the subject.
Monika beamed at me.
"Well, to start off. You'll be working with me!"
Natsuki and Yuri immediately gave sounds of rebuttal.
"Hey! Since when did Val agree to work with you?! He didn't make a choice yet!" Natsuki called out.
"I agree! Valkyrie should make a choice on who he should work with!" Yuri argued.
Monika crossed her arms and looked down on them.
"He did make a choice, yesterday."
She then looked at me.
"Isn't that right, Val~?" She cutely asked.
Her eyes begged that I confirm her request to work with her.
Yeah... that's not happening.
I am already spending time with her at Saturday.
And I really want to bond with my friends, instead.
So...
I'm going to propose a better plan.
I put both my hands up.
"Hold on, I got a better idea. And it includes the boys."
"Yeah!"
"WE DEM"
"BOIS"
I shook my head from their outburst, as they were destroying our credibility to work.
Monika refused.
"Uh, uh! My plan is official, I am the president of the literature club! Everything I say goes!" She tyrannically declared.
I smirked.
"Yeah, yeah. But the tyrant always fall in the end." I pointed out.
Monika gave me raspberry.
I chuckled from her outburst.
"Alright, so I was thinking that we work in pairs, or in teams of fours-"
"SQUAAAD!" Gabe called out.
I turned my head around and gave him a quick glare.
"My bad."
I turned my attention to them again.
"Yeah, so pairs or squads, and it is separated by boys and girls."
All of the girls in sync said: "What?!"
I nodded slowly, now being careful of my word choice.
"Yeah. So I was thinking that me and the boys work on the miscellaneous parts and also on decorations. While you girls can work on baking and whatever Monika planned on for working with me. That way we can get things done faster and more effectively." I carefully explained.
Everyone was silent on my planning.
But then, the girls all looked unhappy with my plan.
Monika, Yuri, and Natsuki disagreed with my plan.
Not only that, Sayori also disagreed with me as well.
Why is Sayori disagreeing with me?
Shouldn't she be on my side?
"No!" They all yelled in perfect sync.
I was shocked, mostly because of their synchronized mannerisms.
"Why not?" I asked.
Natsuki stepped up.
"Well, to start off, it sounds sexist!"
I felt my head get recoiled backwards.
"Sexist? Just cause I separated the boys and girls apart?"
Yuri followed up.
"Yes. And not only that, this is all supposed to Monika's plan!"
Monika nodded enthusiastically.
"Yep! This is my plan, not yours!"
I sighed, knowing that my plan was most likely not going to succeed.
I looked towards Sayori.
"Okay, what's your deal, Sayori?"
She pouted and tapped her fingers together.
"I wanted to work with Tom, you meanie!"
I pinched the side of nose from all the stress I was experiencing.
I looked to my side and asked for back up with my eyes.
James was the first to back me up.
"Well, to be fair... none of us know how to bake exactly. That is something Natsuki can do, isn't that right?"
Natsuki reluctantly nodded.
Gabe then followed.
"We can decorate, but we don't know much about aromatherapy. That's Yuri's specialty."
My hopes started rise from the logic my friends were spitting.
Tom finally followed.
"Since we aren't as capable as you guys, Val is doing all of us a favor to make planning a efficient process."
He put his hands behind his back and stood tall.
"So, therefore, Val's plan is more effective in making this club memorable during the festival."
I was at awe from Tom's reasoning.
I started to clap.
Slowly, Gabe and James followed on my clapping.
We all wrapped our arms around Tom.
"That's our guy!"
"Woo!"
"Let's fucking go, boys!"
We glimpsed at the other side of classroom.
Monika drew out a long and exhausted sigh.
"Fine. You boys convinced me."
Yuri, Sayori, and Natsuki reluctantly nodded, agreeing with her.
She rolled her eyes and forces herself a smile.
It was that fake smile...
Fuck...
A last ditch effort to make me choose one of them...
But, I am stronger, with my help my friends!
I daringly winked at them, causing their ire to rise.
"Well, that wraps up today's meeting! Don't forget to meet up at Val's house tomorrow!"
We all start to finally pack up.
I put my poem back into my bag and walk outside.
I turned around and poked my head into the classroom.
Monika was packing up her things and getting ready to go.
Might as well say bye...
"Hey! See ya, Mon!"
Despite my choice, she used her real smile.
"Bye, Val! Make sure to check your texts!"
I nodded.
"Yep!"
I walked out with Yuri, Natsuki, Gabe, and James.
Sayori already disappeared along with Tom, leaving us to guess his fate.
I gave my farewells to my friends and to Yuri.
However...
Yuri's farewell was somewhat difficult, but managed to pass through.
"Don't forget to call me!" She reminded.
"I won't! Bye, Yuri!"
...
Me and Natsuki were at the exit of school.
Before we could actually leave, Natsuki stopped me.
"Val... we should talk." She muttered.
It's most likely going to be about how she behaved while in the closet.
I sighed.
"Alright."
NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE RATED M. REASONING PROVIDED BELOW.
AN: Okay! Did I get your attention? Another 10k chapter! I think I will do this as a norm from now on.
So, next up is finally the Natsuki shopping spree. And it will contain some M rated content, as I planned on doing this for a week or so. But it won't be lemon or violence, rather it is going to be something... sexual. But I won't reveal it, just yet.
Also, I have another poll up, (since a overwhelming number of you guys said yes to lemon, smh) It is about what to rework first, the choices are there. To access this, you guys need to go to my profile, while in desktop mode. And then vote. I am still doing both, but the poll is just giving me a choice on what to do first.
Anyway, onto the reviews.
Bonomedia, Thanks! I know that feeling too well. Whenever you sink your teeth in something nice, you can't help but want more. It's addicting, really. Thanks for review.
P.S: Your cat is adorable! FUCK I WISH I HAD A CAT! Or a dog.
Roast Lord, I am! Don't worry. So you say, Yuri date, eh? Say no more, just go ahead and vote. I have some ideas to add on that date.
But the thing is, v14 means the fourteenth review response. Two more to go then I can do a v16 lol.
Sbg, YES SIR I WILL SIR
Uh yeah, go ahead and vote on my profile, I can add onto Monika's sleepover.
Stranger, Yeah, the hyped up beach chapter, woo! I plan on adding some joji at the end of this day, before Friday starts. And I love his music right now.
P.S: I got the reference xd
Thanks for the review, man!
Ethan Davenport, Okay not a problem. I will rework it.
P.S: Hey, is your last name a reference to Lab Rats? Man, I loved that show when I was younger. But I can't say the same now...
Quill, I don't know... Your profile pic before said otherwise, but sure. Go ahead and vote, I guess. I can do that.
Oh, I am sorry sir. I will not make you feel insulted sir.
Erickrey, Really? Thank you, that means a lot to me.
Also, I unintentionally make Val a character to pity, since the bold actions of the girls are more pronounced due to an vague factor in the machine...
Yep, lemon and kinky stuff galore in that chapter. It's a fan service.
Thank you for the kind words. I very much appreciate it.
Anyway, that's all for reviews. Again: THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE M RATED. SEXUAL CONTENT AHEAD, FOR EACH OF THE GIRLS.
Gosh, I am going to feel so dirty when I do write those...
See you then and have a happy Friday!
