The Demons Within (Female Yandere x Male Reader)

C15 - Curiosity

Three figures absentmindedly dangled their legs off the edge of a building, looking towards them fleeting sun that was quick to hide itself away behind the horizon.

Having found an old ladder leading towards the roof of a particularly high building, Lea wasn't able to resist the temptation to see what was up there, resulting in all three of them ascending to the roof.

Chloe looked towards the sun and then directly upwards towards the sky as she laid down upon the concrete roof, noticing how the stars were becoming visible.

Trying to ignore the scene that was occurring a meter or so away from the girl, Chloe recalled how things had progressed to this point.

She'd always known about how Y/n felt towards the black-haired girl. Feeling that she should be happy for the two, she bottled the bitter ache that blossomed within her heart.

Chloe had started to subconsciously focus on other things to distract herself from their growing relationship.

Graffiti had become an excellent form of escapism from the fact that she was, once again, slowly becoming more alone, even though she had two great friends beside her.

The tipping point had occurred about six months after the two had met Lea. At that time, Chloe had just finished her first large-scale graffiti piece on the back of her apartment, a reoccurring scene from her nightmares.

A large red tower surrounded by a torrent of green rain, two large orbs staring down from the skies above. A little girl in freefall, having already descended halfway down the large skyscraper, her tears merging with the rain that comforted her.

Having enlisted the help of her two friends to fill in some of the small details, Y/n and Lea had been quietly whispering side by side for the whole duration of the operation, the boy letting out a loud sigh before shuffling over to Chloe's side.

"Me and Lea have been discussing something; we were wondering if you'd mind us splitting off sometimes, y'know, just the two of us." He mumbled, looking towards the ground to avoid seeing the reaction the small orange girl would have.

He knew how much they meant to her. After losing her father, Chloe had spent an abnormally large amount of time hanging out around him, leading him to believe that she had to have been feeling considerably lonely all the time when he wasn't with her.

Leaving her out meant reducing the time that they'd get to hang out; he knew Chloe would most likely be averse to the idea.

The small girl's long orange bangs flowed out of her black hoodie and onto the old concrete roof, covering up most of her expression.

"Yeah, that's cool, since you guys have been getting closer and all," she cheerfully responded, biting her lips as she continued to focus on the graffiti before her.

Y/n let out a small smile whilst giving out a small word of thanks, turning around and beginning to walk back to his workstation.

"I'm rooting for you, y'know?" She quickly added, standing on her tiptoes to push his shoulder from behind with all her might, resulting in him stumbling forward slightly.

The green-eyed boy's smile grew wider as his expression grew more embarrassed, bashfully looking towards Lea, who was inquisitively looking at his countenance.

"They just want to get rid of you." The shadowy figure behind her growled, digging its foot into the ground before shrivelling back into the shadows from whence it came after receiving a sharp glare from the small girl.
