Favorite Fixation (Yandere boys x Reader)

18.) Lucidity

(Y/n) found herself seated at a large table surrounded by the boys who had become an unexpected part of her day. To her left sat Keiji, his orange hair bright and his expression eager. On her right was Kai, the noirette poking the pasta with his fork. Across the table, Yuuto's yellow eyes met hers with a calm, reassuring presence. Diagonally to her left was Souta, who occasionally glanced her way, and diagonally to her right was Riku, who sat quietly, his gaze steady and observant. The only one not present at the table was Asahi, the boy claiming that he wasn't very hungry.

The girl hadn't expected everyone else to join for dinner, but the company was welcome. Keiji, sitting beside her, was waiting patiently, with an eager smile on his face and watching her intently.

(Y/n) picked up her fork, twirling a bite of the pasta before bringing it to her mouth. The flavors burst on her tongue, and she couldn't help but hum in appreciation. "It's really good," she said after a few moments, her eyes lighting up. "Even better than the one that was served at the restaurant."

Keiji's face broke into a radiant smile. "I'm glad you like it!" he exclaimed, his joy evident in his voice. He then focused on his own plate, though his eyes drifted back to her every few seconds as if to make sure she was still enjoying her meal.

Then, Souta jumped in, his curt, authoritative voice cutting through the air. "What happened earlier with Reina?" he asked, his tone direct and unyielding.

Yuuto, seated across from (Y/n), nudged Souta with his elbow. "It's inappropriate to interrogate a guest during dinner," he chided gently.

Souta rolled his eyes, his purple ones locking onto (Y/n)'s (e/c) ones. The room fell silent, and (Y/n) felt all eyes on her. She swallowed her bite fully, folding her hands together in front of her and chewing her lip nervously.

"Well," she began, "it was me, Keiji, and Reina. We had all just ordered when Reina asked Keiji to grab something from the car. He was still gone by the time the waitress handed us our food, so Reina and I just dug in. After that, I noticed she was having the reaction."

Once she finished explaining, she drifted her eyes to her plate, suddenly not very hungry anymore. Nodding, Souta turned his gaze to Keiji. "And where were you? Obviously not at the car if (Y/n) drove it here with Reina."

Keiji averted his attention to Souta, looking like a deer in headlights. "Can we talk about this later, not now? Not when (Y/n) is present?" Keiji whispered, his hazel eyes pleading.

Souta narrowed his eyes, his stern expression unyielding. From (Y/n)'s right, she could hear a chuckle- Kai, clearly enjoying the tension. Keiji sighed in defeat, glancing down at his plate. "I had an emergency bathroom moment," he admitted in a low voice, a blush creeping onto his cheeks as embarrassment overtook him.

Yuuto leaned over to Souta and murmured, "Happy now?"

Souta scoffed but then turned to (Y/n), a shadow of a smile appearing on his face. "Well, thank you for being there today, (Y/n). I don't like to think about what could've happened otherwise."

(Y/n) perked up at that, feeling the tension lift from her shoulders. She nodded, smiling softly. "Of course."

The table fell into a comfortable silence as everyone resumed eating. The clinking of utensils and the occasional murmur of conversation filled the room. Keiji, visibly relieved, focused on his pasta, occasionally glancing at (Y/n) with gratitude.

Next to her, Kai leaned back, finally making his presence known. "I heard about your broken phone. I wouldn't mind getting you a new one."

Souta raised a brow, looking at (Y/n) with curiosity. "You broke your phone?"
