Something About You... (Yami Yugi x Reader x Jaden x Yusei)

Chapter 8: Third is Yellow

Reader's POV

"Come now, my dearest peasant! Let us bathe in the glorious golden sun!" Pompous Alexis grabbed my hand, pulling me outside of the school. The bell had just rung. I was used to her calling me and everyone else a "peasant", but it still felt awkward.

The teachers had pumped up all the air conditioners. I had to put on my coat to keep from chattering my teeth. The sun felt refreshing on my smooth s/c skin. "It feels nice, right?" I breathed contently.

"Like, totally! Those teachers were like, pumping up the air conditioners! SOS! Y/n, like, you're coming to my house, right? We should totally, like, paint each other's nails★! You, like, never paint even a picture anymore!" Airhead had taken control, and I knew to shut my mouth before she said anything else.

But where would I go tonight? My homework would only take 2 hours to do, so I had free time.

At that moment, I heard a thud. "Ow..." Someone had fallen next to me. It was a boy, but it reminded me of a girl... I turned my head and saw a very spiky haired teen face down on the ground. "Yami?!"

Yami had, of course, fallen asleep. He snored and drooled, completely knocked out.

Responsible Alexis knelt down to the fallen teen and slapped his back. "Wake up!! You've fallen asleep on school grounds! You could get in serious trouble for this!" I moved closer, lightly pulling her hand away. "Alexis, you shouldn't hit him..."

But Yami had already awoken. "Unggh... Y-Y/n...?" He said groggily, moving to his knees. "I'm sorry... I seemed to have fallen asleep."

I laughed awkwardly. "No kidding... Come on! Up to your feet!" I began to pull him up while Alexis watched silently for once. Yami rubbed his eyes. "Th-thank you... I really can't seem to get some sleep these days..."

"Have you ever gotten any sleep?" Alexis asked, narrowing her eyes. Yami opened his mouth, looking like he was about to answer, then his eyelids slowly began to close. Before I could do anything, the blonde threw out her hand like a whip and started to slap the poor boy to and fro.

"Stay. Up. You. Stupid. Idioooot...!!" Alexis growled through her teeth as she assaulted him. I grabbed her hand, frantic. "AAAH, Alexis, cut it oouuuuut!!"

Alexis turned towards me. "I just can't accept this, Y/n! This peasant has the audacity to nap on our learning palace! Like, I would rather like my crush's old picture on Instagram, WTH!" Alexis was so upset that she began to switch personalities rapidly.

"You need to take your medicine!" I cried, glancing at Yami, who was unconscious now. "I think you killed him!"

Alexis' eyes began to grow cloudy. "Killed...?" At that moment, my blonde friend suddenly went limp. I caught her as she fell. "Alexis?! Come on, snap out of it! Alexis!!"

Yami, who suddenly became conscious again, panicked. "I-is she okay?"

"I don't know!" I cried. A lump was forming in my throat. She looked like a corpse, no, a vegetable. I wanted to do something, anything to help her.

At that moment, I felt Alexis slowly stir. She moved slightly, then leaped away from my arms. I gasped. "Alexis?" She didn't respond. I almost called her name again, but froze when she pulled out a pen. She held it crookedly. The pen was clutched in her fist tightly. Then she slowly turned around.

She looked crazed, her golden hair messy. A certain lust swam in her eyes. "Y/n, right...?" She murmured dangerously, a creepy smile on her face. I gulped and nodded. I knew what was happening now, and I felt foolish that I didn't realize it sooner. It had happened so long ago...

Alexis had created a new personality.

"I wonder what would happen," the new personality drawled. "if this pen went in this pretty boy's eye..." Yami widened his eyes, backing away slowly. This personality was dangerous indeed. "Alexis?"

Immediately, she turned on me, waving the pen in my face. "I ain't Alexis!" She snapped. "But that sounds like a fine title for a murderer."

"M-murderer?" The boy instantly became serious. "Y/n, we have to get out of here." With that, Yami grabbed my hand. I tried to wrestle it away from him. "But we can't leave Alexis!" I protested.

"We have to, or we'll really die!" He argued, pulling me away from my friend. Alexis grinned happily, moving closer to us as we moved away. "Alexis, please!!" I screamed as Yami finally ran away with me.

Please leave your message-

I hung up the phone for the thirteenth time. Alexis would just not pick up. I sighed, exasperated. Alexis never read messages.

Yami waited beside me, eyes drooping. He sipped his coffee while I fumbled with my phone. "Has this ever happened before?" He asked groggily.

"Once or twice..." I mumbled, eyes glued to my phone. "When we were in about elementary school, Alexis made Pompous... and in middle school, she made Airhead... Those both happened while we were away on break, so I've actually never seen it in person."

Yami nodded thoughtfully before taking another sip. "Did you ask her how she makes these personalities?"

I turned around to look at him. "No... But the personalities up till now have been harmless... With this one..." I trailed off when different scenarios flickered in my mind like a movie.

"It's alright. I'll make sure that this personality doesn't hurt you." Yami suddenly declared, throwing his coffee cup into a nearby trash can.  His violet eyes were burning with determination. "I know I mess up sometimes and fall asleep, but I promise you that!"

My eyes widened until I think my entire eyeballs were popping out. Yami continued, a smile slowly blooming on his face. "You're always nice to me, so it's only fair that I be nice to you for once!"

I actually felt my cheeks heat up, and I looked away. Why was I blushing? "W-well..." I started, "I guess you can help me, for a little bit. Just make sure that you be careful. We're dealing with a potential murderer." My tone gradually went from embarrassed to serious. 

The teenage boy nodded, still smiling. "One thing first."

"What?"

Then I heard a thud, and looked down to see him sleeping on the ground. I groaned and slowly helped him up. Then I walked in the direction of my house.
