Infatuation (Yandere Boys x Reader)

Chapter 77: Wishful Thinking

Ryo gave a few skips of excitement as he happily bounded up to the girl's room with a cheered atmosphere to accompany him. As he pranced towards the area he couldn't help contain the positivity that emitted from every pore in his body like a burst of exhalation.

'I've finally made a breakthrough with my angel!' He fist pumped the air as he jubilantly ran to the girl's premise and the boy poked his head around the edge of the door to goofily grin at the individual ahead. "Knock knock. Good evening angel."

Ryo took one look at the girl's solemn attitude to have a frown embedded in his face. He gave hear a quizzically sympathetic gaze before he cautiously inched his way into the room. The female seemed too distracted to notice the boy's presence and he had to fully enter the room before he could catch her full regard.

"(Y/n), you alright?" The girl stared at the male for a few moments before she gave him a halfhearted response.

"Yeah, I'm alright..." Ryo fidgeted slightly as her reply that seemed forced and dishonest. The male sat down in front of the girl's bed and smiled up at the female with a supportive grin. He proceeded to give her a playful poke on the lips to accentuate his urge for a returned gesture, only for the girl to reply by forcefully lift one corner of her lip to purposefully satisfy the unfooled boy. The male sighed before he began emitting a flamboyant aura once more.

Before the female had the chance to figure what wondering thoughts had entered his mind, she had to jump back in her spot as a grey blur came bolting out of thin air towards her face, stopping inches away from her nose. As her vision adjusted on the shape in front of her, she felt a sense of bewilderment and loss as she stared at the plush toy that was staring right back at her. The soft creature held the appearance of a round mouse with large glossy eyes that reflected the female's astounded features.

"Hey there, (Y/n)!" The girl gave the animal plushy a baffled look as the mouse opened its mouth to speak out in an exaggeratedly high-pitched voice that would appropriately belong to a child in their toddler years. (Y/n) was breathless at the unrecognisable vocals and was momentarily placed in a state of wander as she debated whether the inanimate item had actually gained life and expressed speech. However, as she processed the scene before her, common logic came to take place beside her sense of reality and allow her to comprehend the situation.

She looked past the gawking creature to see Ryo brightly grinning at her with an innocent exterior. Her attention was drawn back to the puppet as its mouth began moving again to be synced with the sound of words.

"My name's Charlie the Chinchilla! And I'm here to listen to all your problems!" The creature gaped its mouth open in a gesture of intense awareness as it awaited for the girl's response. The female looked back at the grinning male as he also intently watched for a reply.

(Y/n) was too shocked to understand what she was meant to speak to and kept her gaze focused on the puppeteer as she began reluctantly talking to the awaiting toy.

"H...hello Charlie..." She awkwardly regarded the fake animal while keeping her eyes glued on the boy.

"It's a pleasure to meet such a lovely girl like you! Now tell little Charlie what's hovering over your head." (Y/n) raised an eyebrow as she didn't seem to detect the male's lips moving even an inch as he kept an open smile.

"Ventriloquism...?" She whispered out her assumption as the male allowed the puppet to nod at her guess.

"Correct, darling gall!" The Chinchilla responded as the hand puppet was brought back to its owner. "And it took me so manny months to perfect it." This time around, Ryo demonstrated the voice had originated from his own lips as he moved his mouth along with the sentence in the same improvised voice.
