~Fictitious Reality 2~ a DDLC fanfic

Part 8: Another Night for the boys.

It's been like, a month since you and your friends experienced the return and end of the Dokis. You spoke to Craig daily, you occasionally talked to Mark, but John hasn't said a word since. You couldn't help but feel guilty that John would never have the chance of seeing Yuri again, but at the same time, bringing the other Dokis back nearly caused the balance of the universe itself to be in jeopardy.

You and Monika were doing well. You two spend a lot of time with each other whenever you could. You and your three friends made plans to hang out at Craig's place for a typical hangout. A time for you gamers to shine, and eat food that would lower your lives by an hour.

You grab your luggage and food, as you try to press the doorbell. Craig gently opens the door, and says:

"I won't let ye in ye stubborn focker"

You roll your eyes and reply with:

"Fock you lad, I'll vore ya!"

Craig lets you in, as you both laugh. Mark descends from one couch as John is seen asleep on the other couch. You connect your phone to the television and begin to play loud videos on YouTube to tear John away from his sleep. He lunges forward, faceplanting.

"What the heck, dude?!" He says.

"Excuse me John", Craig replies. "No swearing."

You collapse, making a complete fool of yourself while laughing maniacally. You and the boys grab some cold sodas, and crack them open.

"Us gamers shall rise!" Craig announces.

"Amen", you reply.

The first part of the night went by smoothly. Junk food and soda were devoured, as games were played, memes were shown, and jokes were made. As the end of the night approached, things began to get more serious. You text Monika, asking her how her night is. A brief conversation was had in silence, as you smile at your screen. You look up to see Craig and John approach you.

They realize who you're texting, as you begin to feel discomfort. You don't know if the others are still ready to hear about anything relating to Doki Doki Literature Club. Especially those who suffered the loss of anyone who isn't Monika, since she's in the physical world with you.

"Hey." You say, mentally preparing yourself for the worst.

Craig gives you a thumbs up, mainly because he approves of your relationship and thinks that it's funny. John clears his throat, and walks off.

"I'm sorry, John." You manage to say.

John turns around, and looks at you. He's clearly sad, but knows that you genuinely care. He knows that a life without Yuri being next to him would be difficult, but it's one that would be better than one where everyone would be tortured.

Your phone rings, and you answer it. Monika greets you, happy to know that you're doing well. The fact that she'd be there for you helped make you more relaxed, knowing there was someone loyal with you. The love birds talk for a few minutes, before you both hang up. You look up to see John staring off to the stars, maybe he'll find a way to see her again?

It didn't matter to you that much, anyways. You already have the girl you wanted, and she had you. Your Fictitious Reality is not only your reality, but also hers.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Have a great day!
