a dumbass gets isekai'd: the novella

21. sometimes i think...but then i forget

"Can I please just have a normal dream for once?"

No you idiot, of course not. Anyways, Yuu was back at it again with their weird dreams. Today's episode: a group of animals planning world domination. A lion, one that was different than the ones they had seen in their previous dream, stood on a jagged rock, towering over a large crowd of hyenas.

"The earth will rumble, and a new era shall begin." the lion boomed.

They can talk!? Oh wait, Grim exists, nevermind.

"And what about us hyenas?"

"Listen to me first. We will kill Simba along with his father. And then I will be the king!"

"All hail the king!"

"All hail the king!" The crowd of hyenas cheered."

"Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared. Be prepared!"

Why is he trying to be king that way? 

Yuu didn't get their answer, as everything blackened once again.

"Did you go out somewhere last night? You weren't there when I went to the bathroom." Grim asked.

"Oh, last night. There was this guy with horns on his head outside of our dorm. He didn't tell me his name because I'd piss myself if I heard it, I guess, and at the end of our conversation he just exploded into green sparkles."

"You met a weird guy with horns? And you don't know his name?"

"He did say I could call him whatever I wanted."

"Hmmmmm, how about Tsunotaro?" Grim suggested.

"I was thinking Mr. Worldwide, but that works too."

"Well, he can't be mad if he said you could call him whatever you wanted. If Tsunotaro is a student at our school, make sure to introduce him to me! I've never seen a person with horns before!"

Yuu spotted Cater and Riddle walking their way.

"Morning, Yuu!"

"G'morning."

Grim noticed the absence of a certain duo. "Ace and Deuce aren't with you guys?"

"According to Rule #249 of the Queen of Hearts, the two of them are currently feeding the flamingos while wearing pink clothes."

Riddle cleared his throat as he looked at Yuu's tie, which was loosely tied in a rush.

"Your tie isn't tied properly, you know. Rule-breaking starts with unruly clothes." He stepped closer to them, taking ahold of Yuu's sad excuse of a tie. "Your dorm mates will not follow you if you look improper. Though, your dorm only has one other student."

Normally, Riddle would've been pretty calm in this situation. But this time, he was very nervous, and internally screaming. He felt the same way as he did when Yuu hugged him during the Unbirthday Party. It was silly, how a small hug could open up so many strange emotions. He had never felt this awkward around someone before, yet it wasn't fear or disgust.

Riddle had finished tying Yuu's tie, but he still held it as he stared at the ground. Yuu didn't know what to do, so they tried to lighten the mood. "Aha ha...are we about to kiss right now?"

Riddle was caught off guard. Yuu watched him turn bright red as he practically jumped back. They could practically see the heat waves radiating off of him.

"I- You- What-"

Yuu thought they scared the poor guy. 

Ok, so that wasn't the brightest of my ideas. Tone it down Yuu, tone it down. We're not at that level of friendship yet.
