The Demons Within (Male Yandere x Female Reader)

C15 - Curosity

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, Cai wasn't able to resist the temptation to see what was up there, resulting in all three of them ascending to the roof.

Aaron looked towards the sun and then directly upwards towards the sky as he 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 boy, Aaron recalled how things had progressed to this point.

He'd always known about how Y/n felt towards the black-haired boy. Feeling that he should be happy for the two, he bottled the bitter ache that blossomed within his heart.

Aaron had started to subconsciously focus on other things to distract himself from their growing relationship.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Leaving him out meant reducing the time that they'd get to hang out; she knew Aaron would most likely be averse to the idea.

The small boy's medium length orange bangs flowed out of his black hoodie, covering up most of his expression.

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

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

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

The green-eyed girl's smile grew wider as her expression grew more embarrassed, bashfully looking towards Cai, who was inquisitively looking at her countenance.

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