Favorite Fixation (Yandere boys x Reader)

33.) Lapse

Two hours had passed since they started making dinner, and now they all sat around the dining room table. As usual, Kai claimed the seat directly to (Y/n)'s right, just like last time. But the seat on her left sparked a mini-feud between Asahi and Keiji, who were both loudly arguing over it. Before either could make their move, Riku quietly slipped into the seat, his focus completely on the calzone in front of him.

Asahi and Keiji noticed too late, grumbling in defeat. Keiji took the seat directly across from (Y/n), while Asahi sat diagonally to her right, clearly annoyed by the distance. That left Yuuto sitting diagonally to her left. Asahi shot an accusing look toward the others, muttering, "I didn't even know she was here. You guys got the jump on me." His eyes lingered on the calzone in front of him with a mixture of curiosity and disdain. "Besides, what even is this? Some sort of dumpling?"

He puffed out his lower lip, clearly unimpressed by the unfamiliar meal. Across the table, neither Keiji nor Riku paid him any attention, both of them tearing into their calzones with reckless abandon. Kai, catching Asahi's skepticism, kicked him lightly under the table. "It's literally just a misshaped pizza. You'll be fine," Kai said, taking a bite of his own calzone like it was an actual slice of pizza.

Yuuto, ever the prim and proper one, grimaced at the chaotic eating going on around him. He used a fork and knife to cut through the calzone neatly, avoiding the mess that was unfolding at the other end of the table. (Y/n) followed his lead, cutting small, precise pieces, not wanting to make a mess like the others.

Asahi, however, remained unimpressed. He continued poking at his food, as if expecting it to transform into something more appealing. "What's even in this?" he grumbled, his teal eyes flicking toward Keiji, who sat on the opposite side of Yuuto. "Some mystery meat from the deep freeze?"

Keiji, with his mouth full of calzone, shook his head and chuckled. After swallowing, he lifted his index finger like he was about to deliver a grand speech. "Actually," he began with mock importance, "all the meats used in this are organically produced locally!" He laughed at his own joke before diving back into his food with renewed enthusiasm.

Asahi rolled his eyes at Keiji's theatrics, but reluctantly picked up his calzone and took a tentative bite. "Better be as good as you're making it sound," he muttered, his voice still carrying a note of doubt.

Kai hummed softly beside (Y/n), his tone playful as he glanced her way. "You did a great job," he complimented. "It's delicious."

Asahi's sharp eyes flicked toward her with a raised brow. "You helped make this?" he asked, sounding mildly impressed.

(Y/n) swallowed her bite and nodded. "I did. Keiji insisted."

Across the table, Keiji flashed her a boyish grin, his cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk from the amount of food he was currently chewing. Yuuto grimaced at the sight, clearly not amused by Keiji's lack of table manners.

Then, Asahi leaned forward with a sly grin, eyes gleaming mischievously. "You know," he began, "you and I could make something tonight too. I heard you're staying over." He winked at her, completely oblivious to the sudden stillness that overtook the table.

All movement froze. Forks paused mid-air, and every set of eyes fixated on Asahi, except for Riku, who remained quiet. Asahi, however, didn't seem to care or notice the sudden shift in the room's atmosphere. (Y/n) looked around, confused at the sudden stillness.

Kai was the first to break the tension, his voice sharp. "Absolutely not! She's staying with Reina." He sent another swift kick under the table to Asahi's shin, making the other boy wince slightly.

Asahi rolled his eyes at Kai's protectiveness. "C'mon, really? (Y/n), we could make this night unforgettable-"

"I can't," (Y/n) interrupted casually, halfway through her calzone, cutting off whatever playful remark Asahi was about to make.
