Violets are Red- Yuri X Male reader- DDLC Yuri Fanfiction-Novella

Chapter 14: Sleepy

My hand crawled across the boxes smooth exterior and into the lavish interior feeling around for the internal menu board. Pulling it up to face me I read the names of the chocolates that were left. Thinking carefully I scanned over some of the more 'exotic' flavours before narrowing down my search. One, was a pecan and strawberry moose covered in a white chocolate shell. My other choice was a simple dairy milk laced with caramel. In the process of deciding between these flavours another caught my eye. A triangular toffee, stuffed with praline and caramel. Although much fancier, still quite like the ones I had on my second day at the literature club. And consequently shared with Yuri.

That was the one I picked, the sentimental value and coincidence was too good to ignore. The easy part was done, now the challenge. With a sheepishness too obvious in my demeanour to ignore I pinched the chocolate in between my nails as I slid my hand down across to Yuri. As I neared her I raised my hand and examined her face. She was watching the television with utter transfixion, her face standing still, lips pursed open slightly to passively breathe. All initiative to distain from becoming too involved in the television distracted by hypnotic, coloured stimulation.

I took one last look to angle my trajectory before raising the chocolate into Yuri's mouth. She actually moved her head slightly as I inclined forwards. Not wanting to smudge her cheek I insisted with my movement, virtually shoving the lolly between Yuri's lips. To my surprise, despite the gruff chocolate passing by me Yuri only wobbled under my force before setting again. She didn't even look at me, just staring forwards as she sucked the caramel slowly into her mouth before chewing slowly and swallowing. All the time not daring to take her eyes off the illuminated monitor.

All of a sudden Yuri's legs which I had been leaning against went shuddered, her shoulders dropped, eyes enlarged and mouth drooped much like she did whenever she thought she thought she did something wrong. A small line of sweat began to bead on her forehead and for a second she looked as though she were to cry before relaxing at once. She glanced over at me to reaffirm I actually had chocolates, which I did before smiling shyly at herself simultaneously burring herself in her hair.

Something that could have been mistaken for being awkward it was. But it felt surprisingly natural, actually really romantic to be honest. I was beginning to like Yuri a little more than I should have, which I'm sure had grown very apparent by now. I really didn't know how she felt about me. Though I knew I was at least a friend. Reassuring. I popped another chocolate into my mouth on instinct. This one luckily was walnut and toffee, and didn't contain any fish egg jelly.

We watched television for as long as possible before even our bodies holding together could not abstain from the cold. Eventually Yuri went to get something warmer while I held my sides attempting not to die from hypothermia. On her return which felt like an eternity she slowly descended the stairs in something which looked like it could provide a lot of warmth. Yuri wore a thick robe, in a shade I could only identify in the low light environment as lavender. She also wore two thick boots along with her longs socks and so made her way back over to the settee. 

As I snuggled up against her robes, the softness was overwhelming and seemed to ward off the chill of the night. We sat there for half an hour longer. Holding each other tight and watching whatever caught out fancy. We shared the remainder of the evening, technically in each others arms. After that however the cold became far too overpowering for simple hugging. Both of us especially me, absolutely freezing, decided to retire to bed. This night I was not as tired as before but still fatigued as was usual for me.

I brushed my teeth, we took our turns utilising the bathroom, I applied my pyjamas and finally went to bed. I said goodnight to Yuri, receiving a sleepy "gji-goodnight H-Alex" accompanied by a sweet little yawn as Yuri closed her door. I made my may into bed and was immediately hit with the cold of the mattress, I shut my eyes and tried to sleep, no such solace came.
