[Yandere Meowscarada x Reader] I'll Make Them All Disappear!

47 | Stuck in Two Hearts

For the first time in a while, you're able to take a breather. Sitting beside your best friend, gazing out at the Terarium's vast horizons together — it's nothing short of serene. Though you've been friends most of your life, you rarely have moments like these. Moments of peace where it's just you, her, and the comfortable silence swelling.

Soon, Avery breaks this silence, scooting closer to you. "Hey. I've been meaning to ask you something."

"Shoot."

"So." The girl begins fiddling with her fingers, her eyes on the beach beyond the picnic area. "What's your stance on... being in a relationship?"

Before you give too quick of an answer, you think it over in your head. Relationships... they've never been your thing. Whether that's thanks to Meowscarada's dangerous obsession with you or not, you can't decide, but relationships in general have never been at the front of your mind. Especially since you've never really fallen in love with anyone. Who in their right mind would try to force themselves into a relationship if they don't hold any level of genuine romance toward someone?

Not you, that's for sure.

"Never really thought about it," you answer honestly. "I don't think I'm the romance type. I..."

But wait.

As you try to recall any trace of romance in your life, naturally you think back to Meowscarada. How you've always acted like a couple, despite being trainer and Pokémon. There's no doubt in your mind Meowscarada is absolutely infatuated with you. That much is certain — from the way she handles you, speaks to you, implies heavily that she's only got you in mind. Not to mention her marriage hypotheticals.

She would marry you in a heartbeat.

But that's so wrong.

"I just don't think being in a relationship is safe for me," you say.

Avery lifts her eyebrow, turning to you. "What? Why?"

"You know how possessive Meowscarada can be."

"Oh come on, you're gonna let a Pokémon dictate your love life? That's real low, even for you."

"What the heck am I supposed to do? She threatens anything that comes close to me. Her and Cinderace were battling to the death a while back. Nearly killed each other."

Avery smiles, facing the beach again. You turn your head, your expression screwing up at the look of amusement in her eyes. How can she be so calm about something like that?

"So you're charming enough to attract humans and Pokémon," she says. You find yourself cringing harder at the thought.

"Let's not go there."

"It's true though. Meowscarada's always been head over heels for you. I bet that Cinderace is, too."

"Nah..."

She closes her eyes, still smiling gently, but you get the feeling she's got something else weighing on her mind. A moment of silence spreads between you.

"Seriously, they need to leave some room for me."

You pause. She can't be saying what you think she's saying. You're not dense. Well, not that dense when it comes to reading signs. But... Avery, of all people?

"Avery," you start to speak, reaching out your hand to grasp hers but she starts moving in time to avoid you. She stands, stretching and dusting her shirt off before packing her things back into her bag.

"It's getting late. I'm gonna head back to the dorms." Avery palms her Pokéball, gesturing to Vaporeon who's been patiently sitting by, listening to the whole conversation in silence. "C'mon, Vappy. Let's go get some sleep."
