The art of being alone / Yuta okkotsu x reader

Chapter 43

That night, both of you guys decided that the people you saved, were in need for a good rest in a hidden tunnel like before. Yuta ended up talking with ishigori about this whole game while you were settling in with the other people.

You decided to isolate yourself from the others, but still a place where you can see them. You were in deep thought of everything going on. Especially the changes with yourself that could affect deeply not just yourself, but everyone else around you.

After everyone had adjusted themselves, you ended up zoning out about everything. It's weird how the world has come to a bad end as everyone is trying to survive while you guys were in a game. What ended up happening?

Not realizing sooner, you felt someone sit next to you seeing it was Yuta. "You seemed like you were in deep thought. What were you thinking about?" You sighed out of exhaustion realizing you've been overthinking things way too much.

What's gotten into you all of a sudden? By now you should've accepted it and let fate guide you to your life, but you're in denial. You didn't want to become someone from the past who hurted people. Thats the people you consider hating the most, but does that mean you are now starting to hate yourself?

"It's nothing, I'm just exhausted. How did things go with ishigori?" Surprisingly he was still alive from the fact Yuta gave him a big hit.

"It went well surprisingly. I guess you can say we all are acknowledging ourselves in this stupid game. Sadly, now people don't have a home to go to." You both looked towards the people you saved as they were all chatting amongst themselves as others were sleeping.

"I feel sorry for them. They really don't deserve all this that's happening. Hopefully we'll find a safer place for them later on." In reality you felt like you had other plans for yourself.

"Don't worry, since we're both here we'll be able to protect them from anything. But for now let's rest for tonight until we find a safer place tomorrow." You wondered how Yuta still managed to smile at times like this.

"I hope so too. I wish when I wake up all this would be over in a blink of a eye." Turning to Yuta you can see how forced he was to stay awake as he kept his eye on the people. He did most of the work today as you felt like you were left out dealing with your other self.

"Yuta, you should get some rest. I'll be on the look out instead." He shook his head.

"It's fine, you should get some sleep instead-" you already knew he wasn't going to listen so you decided to grab his shoulders and put his head on your lap.

"I said go to sleep. Now." You gave game him a nice convincing smile As he blinked several times. "No! I swear I can stay up with you. I've been doing it for a while now."

Yuta looked back at you as you didn't want him, but needed him to get some rest. He looked hesitant for a bit trying to ignore you, but it didn't work out.

"Fine fine I'll do what you say. Just don't look at me like that because just looking at you is my weakness. Don't hesitate to sleep as well if you're tired." He said as he caressed your cheeks.

"I won't, don't worry. Sleep well now." You smiled to him as he nodded. "Goodnight y/n" was the last thing you heard from him as he drifted to sleep.

It was no hours later until you realized you had also fallen asleep. As you slept you felt like you were being watched, but in your dreams. You saw some dark shadow that you couldn't recognize causing you to be curious and follow it.

"We finally meet" the dark figure said as it was standing in front of you. Their face was unclear. All you saw was just a dark aura.

"And who are you?" You questioned. That's when the figured started to show themselves only to reveal the thing you hated the most right now.
