Reincarnated as a Yandere Villain [BL]

🔘 Chapter 18: Tour

Remembering what the novel stated
about Clay's backstory. Anastasius couldn't help but burst into tears.

Now that he sees it, Clay is really wearing gloves. He can even peek some fresh scars that might have come from Clay's obsessive hand washing.

"Anastasius, what's wrong?" Charles immediately turned frantic.

Ever since they were a child he never once saw Anastasius cry this much. He does cry whenever they watch tragic theatrical shows, and when he reads a sad novel, but his face right now showed a different kind of grief.

While still crying, Anastasius felt a sharp throbbing pain on his temples which made him lose consciousness.

"Anastasius!"

"Mr. Clarimières!"

Were all the words he heard before completely passing out.

Anastasius slowly opened his eyes. Adjusting to the light coming from the infirmary's windows. His head no longer hurts but his heart still does for Clay.

Yuu was an orphan who lived in a humble orphanage, he remained the only child who didn't get adopted in the house so he wasn't able to escape the horrendous sight of severe child abuse that he sees on the children that gets taken in by their orphanage.

The orphanage was a warm and loving household, he didn't actually learn the extent of an adult's wickedness there, he learned it through the stories of the children that were brought in it.

Their orphanage was known to be the house of children who suffered from abuse. Except for Yuu who was only abandoned, everyone had a story to tell about their parents and relatives, they were either molested, sexually assaulted, beaten daily, or mentally manipulated. Most of these abused children played a big part on Yuu's life because they became his friends along the way.

That's why he considered Clay's backstory as close to home. Clay reminded Yuu of his friends in his past life. That is also why he couldn't help but break down on the spot as his memories about Clay flooded his mind.

"How are you feeling?" Anastasius looked for the owner of the voice and saw Charles, sitting beside the bed he's laying on.

"I... I think I'm okay now." He answered with a weak voice.

"The nurse told me it was probably because of stress and fatigue, the student assistants said it was probably because Mr. Yoshioka scared you, but I know it's more than those things. Do you want to talk about it?" Charles' voice is filled with warm affection, just hearing his voice calmed Anastasius greatly.

"I'm probably just feeling homesick, I'm sorry if I made you worry." Charles didn't believe Anastasius' excuse but he got the message that the younger didn't want to talk about it. So he decided to drop it for now.

"Where's Mr. Yoshioka? The tour..."

"You should rest for now. The tour can always wait." Charles said sternly.

"But-"

"I said what I said. Your knees are still weak aren't they? Sleep for now while I inform your professors about your condition." The prince's voice left no chance for Anastasius to retort. He must've been really worried. He'd never seen Charles look so stressed, some of his hair is sticking on his sweaty forehead, his uniform was a little wrinkled from when he carried Anastasius to the Infirmary, there was a stubborn crease on his forehead and his lips were pressed into a line.
