Failed Yandere (YKMRO)

Chapter 5

Ayoshi was walking towards the library when someone stopped him.

"Excuse me," a gentle voice said.

Ayoshi turned his head to the left and saw a man gently smiling. He had light brown hair and held a cake. "Yes?"

"As you see, I have a cake. I just finished making it and was hoping you would try it with me?" Amao asked.

"I have somewhere to be."

"It'll be really fast. Just one slice of cake, please?"

"Fine."

Amao grew a delighted smile, "Great, come into the clubroom. I'll get you a fork and plate." He walked into a room with a kitchen. He set the cake down and grabbed plates, forks, and a knife. He cut two pieces and set them on the plates, then handed the plate and fork to Ayoshi.

Ayoshi grabbed the plate. He took the fork and got a piece of cake, putting it in his mouth. When the cake came in contact with his tongue, his eyes sparkled. He quickly gobbled up the rest of the cake.

Amao softly chucked at how Ayoshi ate the cake and said, "I'm glad you're enjoying my cake."

Ayoshi looked up from his plate and held his plate out. "Another please?"

'How cute.' Amao softly laughed at Ayoshi. "Of course! Do you want extra frosting?" Ayoshi slightly nodded as he licked the frosting off the fork. He cut another piece of cake and gently placed it on Ayoshi's plate. "I'll give you as much cake as you want," he happily said as he continued to eat his own piece of cake. Ayoshi continued to gobble up his cake. 'How can someone look so adorable eating cake,' he thought, unable to stop staring at Ayoshi. "You seem to really like sweets. Do you eat them a lot?"

Ayoshi looked up from his cake and said, "This is my first time eating sweets."

Amao's face showed surprise, "Really? Not even as a child."

"No, I never found interest in sweets."

"Has your mom never made cake or cookies?"

"My mother doesn't really bake. My mother is not exactly like other mothers," Ayoshi said and quickly went back to eating his cake.

"If your mother won't bake you sweets, I'll make them for you."

"What do you mean?"

"I really like baking. So I like to create new recipes but I have no one to try them out when I make them. I would like you to be my taste tester."

"Ok, as long as I get to eat sweets."

"Of course! As much as you want." Amao smiled as he indulged Ayoshi.

For the rest of lunch, Ayoshi and Amao ate cake in peaceful silence. As Ayoshi ate cake, he completely forgot about where he had to be.

The cake is almost finished and there is one piece left. Amao noticed Ayoshi looking at it, grabbed it, and gave it to Ayoshi. "Here you go."

"Thank you," Ayoshi said and ate it.

Amao just merrily watched him with a smile on his face. When Ayoshi finished the cake, there was frosting smeared on the side of my lip and he noticed. "There's frosting on your face." He gently wiped it with the pad of his fingers and licked it off.

Ayoshi looked up at Amao and said, "That was my frosting."

'Why did I just do that?' Amao could feel his blood rush to his face. He knew he was as red as a tomato. "I... I uhhh, we-well, I just wanted to make sure you... you weren't dirty," he stuttered out, full of embarrassment.

"Ayoshi-kun?"

The two turned towards the door.

Taro walked down the hallway. 'Where is he?' As he looked for Ayoshi on the bottom floor of the school, he heard voices coming from the Cooking Club, and one of them sounded like Ayoshi's. He followed the voices to the door of the Cooking Club, where he saw Ayoshi and some other guy standing close together.

The guy wipes something off Ayoshi's face and then licks his finger. He heard Ayoshi say something and he flushed red.

'Why are they so close?' Taro could start feeling his heart feel strange. After he heard the man say something back to Ayoshi, he called out Ayoshi's name.

The two turned towards Taro. "Taro-kun, I am sorry I got distracted eating cake," Ayoshi said.

Taro walked into the clubroom, towards Ayoshi and he walked towards Taro. "It's fine Ayoshi-kun. What did the cake taste like?" He asked with a smile.

"It was very sweet and tasted like strawberries. I liked it very much. I would give you some, but we ate it all."

"No, it's ok, you must have enjoyed it and that's all that matters. You also ate so much cake. You must really like sweets."

"It is my first time trying sweets and yes, I enjoyed it a lot."

"Really? That's surprising, but at least you like the first time trying sweets. Since you like it so much, before lunch ends, I'll take you to one of the vending machines to get strawberry milk. I'm sure you'll really like it." Taro grabbed Ayoshi's hand and started leading him out the door. He wanted Ayoshi far away from the other as quickly as possible. He didn't like how close they were.

"Wait, Taro-kun. I have to," Ayoshi looked towards Amao, "say bye to...."

"Oh, silly me! I never told you my name. It's Odayaka Amao."

"My name is Aishi Ayoshi. Thank you for the cake. I liked it very much."

"Of course! Make sure to come back! I'll make you as many treats as you like as long as you try my new creations!"

"As long as I can eat sweets."
