Our Strange Duet (Yandere Modern Princes x Reader)

Chapter 39: Hypocrite

The night previous to the morning, Kazuki was in a state of mind that the younger girl had never seen him in. It was one she hadn't ever anticipated he had. She understood his thought process, of course, having been prone to it for quite some time. That being said, she seemed to have helped him in some shape or form. He even smiled when she pulled him back onto solid ground and ruffled her hair as if in playful gratitude.

The blonde said nothing further as he walked the younger girl back to her room. He gave multiple strange looks as he escorted her, and further still when he stood in the entrance of the door. That being said, a gentle smile crossed his lips as he told her to sleep well, and he left with a joyful presence, presumably to go to sleep himself. At least, she hoped. If he had gone back to sitting on the railing, it would have worried her greatly.

Yet, when the (h/c) haired girl woke up, she found that Kazuki was sitting on the edge of her bed. He was silent, keeping his presence from disturbing her, but she could still make out the blonde humming softly. It pleased her to hear him singing. His voice was otherworldly, something that could entrance and lure one in without much effort at all. (Y/n) couldn't describe how much she liked it.

As she sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes with a yawn, she saw the older male tense just a bit. It wasn't out of fear. Rather, he just didn't expect her to wake. In response, he gave a cough, rubbing the back of his neck before turning around and giving a shy smile. When she returned it, he let out a sigh of relief and closed the book in his hands.

"I just wanted to wish you a good morning," the blonde stated quietly, "And perhaps get you some tea? Ah...do you like tea? I suppose it doesn't have to be tea. Coffee, then?"

Kazuki was speaking much differently than he normally did. There was a tint of uncertainty in his voice as if he had lost his ability to peer into people's emotions. He still appeared very mature, especially with the business suit he had on. His hair was pushed back for the day, but it didn't appear gelled. It just seemed unnaturally held back, but it wasn't necessarily unattractive. In fact, it was quite pleasing to the eye.

The younger girl, relieved to see that the male had not fallen off of the railing while she was asleep, gave a serene grin before shuffling over on the bed. She threw her arms around the blonde and pressed her forehead on his shoulder affectionately. In response, she heard the male gasp out of surprise and was then met with an uncomfortable expression of his. He awkwardly patted her wrist as opposed to simply hugging her back.

"Y-You are very touchy-feely," he stated simply, a bit of a squeak in his voice.

(Y/n) gave a contemplative hum as she rubbed her cheek against the blonde. His cheeks began to heat up, and the girl was almost entirely certain he wasn't one to indulge in touches as his younger brother did. That being said, he didn't push her away, just sat fumblingly, his eyes darting around the room as if he'd never seen it before. Aside from his cheeks, he didn't appear discomforted in the slightest, prompting the younger girl to giggle.

"I guess I am," she responded.

"S-So...coffee?"

"Hot chocolate is better."

The blonde nodded his head and as soon as the younger girl released him, he gave a few coughs and scampered out of the room to wait for her. She smiled at his bashfulness and went to take a shower, cleaning herself thoroughly and using a shampoo she'd fond waiting for her. The smell was pleasant like summer roses. And when she left the bathroom, she dried her hair, dressing in a simple plaid dress.

Kazuki was waiting for her outside her room, giving a shy smile. As he did so, she looked around, noticing that Ichiro was not up. Thus, she peeked in his room, opening the door quietly as he was most likely asleep. And when he saw that the bluenette was hugging his stuffed animals, drooling just a little bit, she gave a snicker and closed the door as quietly as possible. She then skipped over to the blonde, following him into the elevator.
