MENTAL Deterioration. [Yandere! Hanako-kun X Reader]

Apparition 2: A new beginning

*Please note that I have not read the TBHK Manga, so please refrain from commenting spoilers within the comments section. Thank you!

Hanako crossed his leg over the other, also doing the same with his arms. His interest in you was so impenetrable that he continued staring at you, leading you to feel rather antsy.

Since Hanako was your new friend.. you wondered what to say. Being the social outcast, ostracized due to your inability to converse causally.. As well as introverted tendencies, you didn't know how friendship worked.

For as long as you could remember, friendship wasn't on your agenda. Your stepmother made it that way. "S-So.. um.." You fidgeted, the bow of your uniform being adjusted by your twitching fingers. "Hanako... How old are you?"

The male perked up. That look in his eyes.. It looked like you struck a nerve. But, he didn't voice his discreet feelings about the matter, and forced a taunting grin that brightened up his features. "I'm a trillion years old! I'm practically a walking history textbook!" At first, you were silent.. but over time that confused look of yours vanished, and what replaced it was your elated expression. Covering your mouth and pivoting your head away, a sound of laughter was stifled because of your hand.

Without realizing this was apart of Hanako's intentions; subsiding the current subject with your laughter, you regained your composure. "You know ... I'm.. never this open toward people..." You looked down. "Maybe it's because you're a ghost? But I feel.. comfortable..."

Hanako tilted his head a little, as if trying to read your expression as he witnessed you looking down at your feet, tapping the soles of your shoes against the floor. He suddenly quieted himself, thinking about something that might've possibly turned the tides a tad. 

Without any warning or gesture, he extended his hand in front of your eyes, leading you to hesitantly return your eyes up toward his ghostly figure. "Here, take my hand [L/N]." Instantly displaying your confusion, you took a step back in a startled manner. "E-Eh..? But... I can't touch, you, Hanako. You're not-"

"Then, do you want to feel me all day long?"

After his suggestive inquiry, he whipped himself around, returning to the windowsill. Only this time, he pressed his hand against his chin, tapping against it lightly while you broke down behind him, your face booming with a maddening red. You held onto your clothes with a tight grip, hugging yourself as your body vibrated due to your nervousness. "Wh-What are you saying, H.. Hanako?! I'm... I'm.. not--"

With an unfeigned, as well as wide smile, he closed his eyes and lifted his index finger. "Okay! It's settled then!" In response, you took another step back, stuttering because of your turbulent emotions. "Wait-! What's settled?!" Noticing that the ghost opened his eyes and levitated into the air just slightly, he floated up to you. "H-Hanako! Wa-" 

He closed in on you, his smile only widening in a matter of seconds. "I hope you're ready!" While you didn't get a second of insight regarding this entire ordeal, his Hakujoudai companions surrounded your small figure as instructed by the apparition himself. "[L/N], I've decided to grant you an additional wish." He started, "Not only will I be your confidant, but you'll be involved with me on a far more deeper scale." 

Your uniform subtly drifted as if the wind was manipulating your clothing. Although you were a crimson mess because of your fluster, your nerves suddenly eased. Your body felt light, and was nearly compelled to the one in front of you. Fingers twitching, something about the air forced you into a more calm piece of mind. An in the second you gazed right back into Hanako's amber eyes, the snap of his fingers were heard.
