A god's Favourite Toy (Yandere Xenophanes x Male Reader)

Interacting With A Monster

(Y/N POV)

I sat down at my computer and turned it on before clicking on the game icon. After today's news I figured playing a few levels would help me relax. A few minutes pass as the title screen plays and loads up the save files. I click onto the one I used from yesterday and get greeted with the returning voice.

"Hey there buddy, why the long face? Did something or someone upset you today?"

(Y/N): No, it's just that my College teacher died and everyone's a bit paranoid.

"Oh, well don't worry, how about we play a game together. I'll choose the character for you, and you'll decide the game, deal?"

(Y/N): Sure, how about hide and seek?

"Yes, that's one of my favourites!"

Call me crazy, but I think I'm starting to enjoy the voice's company. Not only does it remind me of Kyle a bit with the childlike personality, but also because they feel nice to talk to. The words "Playtime" appear and disappear, revealing my character as Silver Sonic in Emerald Hill Zone from Sonic 2. The level looks a bit like Green Hill, what with the night sky in the background. The music was loud and cheerful, almost what you'd imagine to hear in a school's playground.

Silver Sonic played way differently from Metal Sonic. He couldn't crouch or duck, but he was capable of doing the spin dash. He could as do a boost (unlike Metal, it doesn't make him invincible when doing it), which was thankful since Silver Sonic was incredibly slow, considering his bulky build. After testing out his abilities, I remembered what I was playing and started frantically searching for a hiding spot, eventually hiding behind a large bush. While waiting for something to happen, I decided to ask the voice a question.

(Y/N): Hey, I was wondering, who are you going to be playing as?

"Oh how curious you are. To answer your question, I'll be playing as Sonic. I'm a big fan of him."

The second he finished speaking, I spotted Sonic, whose eyes looked a bit red than green, run by, completely ignoring to check behind anything. I chuckled a bit before searching for a new hiding spot, I didn't wanted to be repetitive and end the game early. This cycle went on for a few minutes until I got a bit cocky and tried to sneak by while he was nearby, which resulted in Sonic spotting me and easily destroyed Silver Sonic with a simple spin attack. Guess that's what happens when you think you're invincible.

"That was so much fun! You were really good at this."

(Y/N): Aw, thanks pal. Say, do you know any other games we can play right now?

"Not at the top of my head, but could you do me a favour? There's a little cheater roaming around, I need you to locate him for me."

(Y/N): Sure, nobody likes a cheater.

"Exactly!"

After that, the screen faded to black as the words "You Can't Hide" appeared, before revealing Dr Robotnik in Scrap Brain Zone. He was inside a building with a worried expression on his face, while in interior was heavily destroyed. Not only was the scenery off-putting, but so was the music, having an eerie whistle with some scraping noises and a scream joining in occasionally. Robotnik looked back and forth before a sweat droplet rolled down his head. Guess he's a bit nervous as I am right now, my hands trembling as I guided the mad doctor through the level, avoiding any broken wires and spikes along the way.

Eventually, I reach a large door and have Robotnik go through, completely caught off guard by what was on the other side. The background shows multiple buildings and structures destroyed and set on fire, while the floor is coated in broken robots and dead animals. The music has also changed to fit this new atmosphere, having a church organ ring out constantly as the sounds of fire and disturbing laughter assisted in making this area feel unwelcoming as possible. I almost felt my stomach churn at this sight, and I guess Robotnik felt that as well, his face slowly turning pale. Then, something caught me completely off guard: Robotnik turned to me and spoke.
