Favorite Fixation (Yandere boys x Reader)

16.) Interlude

The two ascended the grand staircase, each step cushioned by the plush carpeting beneath their feet. At the top, they made a sharp left turn, entering a long, spacious hallway. The hall was lined with rich wooden flooring, gleaming under the warm lighting from the elegant sconces affixed to the walls at regular intervals. Large windows punctuated the length of the hallway, each framed with heavy drapes in a deep, velvety blue, allowing just enough natural light to filter through and blend seamlessly with the artificial glow.

The walls were adorned with framed photographs and artwork, a tasteful mix of family portraits and landscapes that added a personal touch to the luxurious setting. Each door they passed was intricately carved, hinting at the opulence that lay behind them. The air was filled with a subtle, fresh scent, perhaps from the arrangement of flowers placed strategically along the hall.

After a few more steps, they stopped before a door to the right. Kai quickly turned the handle and opened it for (Y/n), gesturing for her to enter. She stepped inside, her eyes widening as she took in the surroundings.

The room was spacious and well-appointed, a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. A large desk sat between two expansive windows on the far wall, the view outside showcasing the sprawling grounds of the estate. Above, a skylight flooded the room with natural light, casting a soft glow over everything. To the left of the door, a sleek flat-screen TV was mounted on the wall, opposite a plush, neatly made bed on the left side of the room. Flanking the bed were two doors, one leading to a walk-in closet and the other to an en suite bathroom.

The room was tastefully decorated, with a color palette of blues and grays that created a serene atmosphere. The desk was cluttered with books, papers, and a laptop, hinting at the room's dual purpose as a workspace. The bed, with its dark blue comforter and array of pillows, looked inviting and comfortable. The overall aesthetic was modern yet cozy, a perfect reflection of Kai's personality.

"Wow," (Y/n) breathed, taking it all in. "This is amazing."

Kai smiled, clearly pleased with her reaction. "Thanks. My dad's books are over here," he said, leading her to one of the shelves. "Feel free to browse."

(Y/n) scanned the spines, recognizing a few titles. "Your dad wrote Loud Spring?" she asked, pulling the book off the shelf. "I love this one!"

Kai beamed, his pride evident. "Yeah, that's one of his more popular works. He writes a lot of environmental fiction, inspired by my mom's work as a conservationist."

The girl continued to browse through the book spines, rereading that same last name over and over.

"Kai Amaya... I never knew that was your last name. It fits."

Kai's cheeks heated up slightly, the boy looking away from her and walking over to the chair at his desk, which was situated between the two large windows. He sat down, trying to change the subject. "So, how did yesterday go?"

(Y/n) turned her head toward him, confused. "Yesterday?"

"Shopping with Emi," the boy elaborated, leaning back in his chair.

The teen girl groaned, placing the book back on the shelf and sitting down on his plush bed. "Not good."

His expression turned more concerned. "What happened?"

(Y/n) sighed. "Emi stormed out on me for defending Riku. I don't get why she was so bitter." She finished, chewing on her lip once more. She couldn't help but notice how that was becoming a habit.

Kai raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Riku was there?"

"Mhm."

The noirette nodded thoughtfully, stopping himself from rubbing his temples so as not to mess up his wet hair. "She didn't say anything harsh towards you, did she? Like Minato?"
