Epiphany (Reverse Harem X Reader)

fate

You stared down at the students passing by the school from the rooftop, swinging your legs around. You were sitting on the edge, humming a soft tune to yourself. You closed your eyes enjoying the breeze hitting your skin and blowing your hair. 

You opened your eyes after hearing the loud noise of door slamming against the wall. You looked over your shoulder to find Ryu marching towards your direction. He stopped a few steps behind you and stared down at you. Suddenly you he threw something towards you. 

You flinched and yelled at him "what the heck is your problem?!" 

"Read that." Ryu stated in an oddly calm voice. 

"What the heck is it?" You looked at the thing he threw, it was a book with a black cover with a flower design on it. With furrowed eyebrows you grabbed the book and opened the first page, slowly reading and flipping through the pages. Your eyes widened at each page.

"From the look on your face I assume you know what is it, right?" You turned towards Ryu with shock evident on your face. 

"Where did you got this?" you asked with a shaking voice. 

Ryu chuckled slightly, "It's a joke right?" He started to laugh loudly like a mad man. He stopped tears glazed in his eyes and he looked at, "You knew everything."

"Ryu l-"

"And you didn't bother telling me about something so important..." he stepped near you. You tried to stop him from coming near you. "That my life is a fucking lie!" He grabbed your wrist and pulled you up to his level. 

You snatched your wrist away from and shouted at him "you're talking about yourself? At least you got a happy ending unlike me who just got lost in the middle of nowhere!" 

Ryu stood there shocked "you- you are selfish." he muttered.

"I am selfish? You think living my own life is being selfish?" You glared at me.

"What about me?" His tears were falling by now. "What about me y/n? My entire life was nothing but a lie!" He stepped away from you and fell on his knees "My feelings, the person I loved was nothing."

You glanced behind you, looking in distance. "We are nothing but just puppets for the writer, we do as they want us to do. We act the way our personalities were written. It's in our fate to end the way we are supposed to, but," you wiped away your tears and turned towards Ryu. "Now I won't let the writer decide my ending, I will change my fate."

Ryu got up and rubbed his eyes "It's strange... my life is already planned out by someone who I didn't even knew existed before today..." he chuckled and shook his head. "however.. I won't let the lie control my life, I will change my destiny. I won't be the stupid male lead I was made for." He lifted his hand "Will you help changing my fate?" 

You chuckled looking at his face, "Alright, but you look ugly. Go wash your face." Ryu's eyes widened and he laughed, first time in a while he could feel happy and it wasn't because of the writer.

"Let's change our fate"

"They were two People, controlled by a Writer's Will

they weren't the Main Characters 

but Time has changed,

so has their Stories..
