Doki Doki Literature Club: Afterstory

Chapter 60: The Return of a Bachelor

Because it seemed so fitting for that happy ever after in the last chapter. How could I ask for more?

7:40 P.M. Neopolitan's POV

When I wake up, I see Retro sleeping soundly next to me, making me smile. He wakes up suddenly, and I scoot over a little to let him sit up.

"G'morning." Retro says with a smile on his face, and I wave back, smiling a little wider.

My scroll beeps, meaning I got a message, so I check it. My eyes widen when I see who it's from. I mouth his name before looking at the message.

Surprise, Neo. I'm back! - Roman

How?! - Neopolitan

I'm not sure, but I don't care. All I care about is that I find you so we can kill Red. - Roman

Of course. I'll tell you where I am as soon as I figure it out. - Neopolitan

I put my scroll away before sighing. Retro puts an arm around my shoulders.

"What's wrong?" Retro asks.

'Roman's back.'

Retro smiles before hugging me.

"Listen. I know you... well... I can assume that you had feelings for Roman, but--" Retro explains before I put a finger on his lips.

'Lemme stop you right there. I was NOT in a relationship with Roman. I don't love him. Like, at all. And I KNOW that it was that bitch, Cinder who killed him, so now that Cinder's dead, it's come full circle.'

Retro winces.

"So... how long's it gonna take for Roman to find us?" Retro asks.

'Once he sees anyone coming to or going out of this house, not long.'

"You're kidding me..." Retro groans.

I shake my head no, and he growls.

"Then we just lock the doors. Simple as that." Retro explains before standing up and heading to the door, making me also head to the door before we go downstairs, and I check out the windows.

"Sheesh, what's your problem, Neo? You're never this on-edge." Yang states.

"Well, she's like this because Ginger McBowlerHat's back." Retro responds.

"Torchwick!!" MRWBYL {Mei, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Li} exclaims.

"Ding, ding, ding! Look who gets a prize!" Retro exclaims.

Ruby gasps.

"A prize?! What do we win?!?" Ruby exclaims.

"15 PANCAKES!!!" Retro exclaims, pulling 15 pancakes from literally nowhere.

"Retro? ...who made those pancakes?" Sayori asks.

"Lie Ren. Don't worry, Nora isn't here." Retro explains.

"...who?" Sonic asks before there's an energetic knock on the door.

'Here we go...'

I open the door slightly, and I see her there; Nora. I roll my eyes and look back to the rest.

'She doesn't know I'm on the good side.'

"Waell, who even is ih'?" Zoe asks, scratching her bunny ears with quick jabs of the ears; something like a dog would do.
