Casualties (Yandere Males x Reader)

[18] A Pink-purple Lens

"You don't look happy today."

Currently he was walking to school with Hayami Chiasa, an individual who he had befriended a few months ago. Shichirou noticed the annoyance present on the female's expression. Furrowed eyebrows, a frown on her lips; it wasn't too conspicuous that it would attract attention, but it wasn't exactly difficult to pick up.

At Shichirou's comment, she made an attempt to cover her irritation with an apathetic expression. "That girl––what was even her name again? The one who sat at the cafeteria with us."

"(L/n)-san?"

"Probably her––whatever. Isn't she too carefree about the student council speech? I mean, this is a prestigious highschool. She comes from a family who bakes, where did all that confidence come from? Their success was only recently as well. She probably only attended regular highschools before transferring here."

Despite not remembering (L/n)'s name, Chiasa knew quite a bit of her background. There were times where Shichirou wondered if the female was pulling strings behind his back with how obvious she could be sometimes. It was both pathetic and entertaining to see how hard she was trying to act indifferent with how clear it was that (L/n) got on her nerves.

"She doesn't even know your true nature. How can she be on the student council with you?"

Assumptions, assumptions. That's what she was best at. It sometimes made things a little too easy.

"Wouldn't it be easy for you to win against (L/n)-san for the student council position?"

"It will be, but what if she takes someone else's spot?"

"Well, decimating her reputation is a start. I'm sure you've noticed that (L/n)-san has a tendency to do a lot of curious things."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you didn't notice?"

"...I have an idea. But I want to hear what you think."

He'll just lie through his teeth and see what happens. "She sticks by Kasumi-san quite often. Do you think she's trying to change her?"

Chiasa knitted her eyebrows together. "What? Like some hero?"

"Exactly. I figured that you would've caught on as well." Shichirou smiled. "(L/n)-san acts like she's trying to be the epitome of good, don't you think? Perhaps that explains why she is so tolerant of Kasumi-san's personality."

Plant an idea in her head then steer her in the direction you want.

"She's just some fake. It's painfully obvious," Chiasa said.

"Or maybe you're just talented at discerning people."

Fuel her ego to cloud her judgment. The male gauged her reaction. It was just as he anticipated. She was proud despite her efforts to hide the look on her face.

"Well I was able to realise that you're not as nice as everyone thinks you are."

Shichirou chuckled. "Should I be offended?"

"That's not what I meant. It's better. Talking with you feels worthwhile unlike everyone else in this school," she said. "What's your opinion on her anyway?"

"(L/n)-san?" He thought about it for a moment. "I supposed I don't really care too much about her."

"Hey, did you see the news?"

"Yeah! A fire broke out in Zeitaku highschool yesterday. Apparently it was because some student accidentally threw water on a grease fire."
