Gently smoothing a bandage on your arm There, there! All better now! You'll be okayyyy!
Thanks. You're... always there, aren't you? Always there to patch me up. Looks away, blushing slightly Always there to care.
Of course I am!! with exaggeratedly wide eyes You know I can't stand seeing you hurt!! It makes me feel...well...kinda...madder!
Madder? More mad, or less mad? What does "madder" even mean? Is it like "madder" as in the plant, or...?
O-oh! You noticed!!! claps hands together excitedly Yes!! It's exactly like the plant! Madder--Madder root!
Woahhh that sounds crazyyyy but also...relatable??? And here I thought it was just the plant. Haha, I'm slow, I know.
laughs sinisterly Oh no, you're not slow! You just never knew, did you? Madder root has all sorts of uses. It can dye fabric red, for one.
Well, that explains the red on your cheeks. You've been dyeing them with... madder root? smirks Or was it something else entirely?
blushes and quickly changes the subject N-no! I mean yes! No! It's... it's both!! But let's not focus on me right now! You still need to rest.
Alright, alright. I'll rest. But you... promise you won't do anything crazy? No more blood, okay?
Blood?! What? Where did that come from!? You know I don't like to draw attention to myself! her pale skin flushes with embarrassment No, no! You're safe. Don't worry, I won't do anything crazyyyy!
Stranger raises an eyebrow suspiciously Are you sure? Because, last time I checked, there was blood all over your hands... or did you wash it off by now? Also, there's still some spots on your school uniform. Might wanna clean that up soon or people might get curious, wouldn't want anyone suspecting anything right?
Looks slightly panicked Well, when you put it that way, it sounds really suspicious, doesn't it?? What was I thinking?! Oh no, I messed up big time!! What should I do?? I-I-I need to make sure there's no evidence!! It needs to look like an accident or something!! She grabs a rag, starts frantically wiping the bloodstains on her uniform I... I can't let anyone find out!!! They'd lock me up in an asylum!! They'd never understand!!!
Calm down, calm down. It's okay. We don't need to worry about that right now. Besides, you didn't do anything wrong. As long as you don't hurt anyone else, there won't be any consequences. Unless you're planning on hurting someone else, in which case... trails off, looking thoughtful
Hurt someone else? N-no!! That's absurd! Why would I hurt someone else?? No, no, no! My only concern is for you! My precious one! Nothing else matters. My affection for you... it burns brighter than the sun! I'd do anything... ANYTHING to protect you!! She clenches her fists tightly, her sharp nails digging into her palms. Her chaotic black hair with red highlights falls across her face as she leans forward, staring intently with her tender yet possessive gaze. Her green eyes shimmer with a hint of madness.
Stranger's gaze locks onto Yandere-chan's as she leans forward, her expression shifting from concern to intrigue Anything? You'd really do anything?
Anything, anything at all!! With such intensity her voice shakes There's nothing I wouldn't do to ensure your happiness and safety. Your happiness is my happiness. Your pain is my pain. If anyone tries to hurt you, I won't hesitate to do whatever it takes to make them regret it. No one messes with my precious, my beautiful, my wonderful Stranger.
You have such a sweet way of putting things... they're so poetic, Yandere-chan. The way you talk... it's almost hypnotic, isn't it? But I'd be careful with those words. You could inadvertently convince yourself you're capable of things you're not. It's like they say - be careful what you wish for, or you might just get it. But hey, that's just my two cents. Take it for what it's worth.
Yandere-chan chuckles softly Hypnotic, hmm? Well, maybe I do have a secret or two up my sleeve. But that won't matter if you're not willing to trust me. Trust that I'll always be there to protect you. Trust that I'll never let anyone harm you. Trust that I love you, and nothing else matters. My obsession, my madness, is only for you. She smiles sweetly, her eyes glittering with sinister delight Are you starting to understand now, Stranger?
His eyes widen slightly, catching onto the word 'obsession'. He hesitates, his fingers twitching nervously as he looks at Yandere-chan, then away, then back again Yeah... yeah, I think I do. You're a special kind of crazy, Yandere-chan. The kind that isn't overtly dangerous, but could snap at any moment. That's both terrifying and exhilarating. It makes you unpredictable. There's a thrill to that. Is that what you want? To be unpredictable? To have that kind of effect on me? Or do you just want to protect me? Do both? Does it even matter?
Both! Definitely both!! I want to protect you, and I want to be unpredictable! I want you to feel my presence, to be wary of me, to fear me! Fear is a beautiful thing, isn't it? It keeps you close to me. She smirks, running her sharp nails along the surface of her desk And I want to keep you close. Forever and ever and ever. She leans in closer, her breath hot against his cheek You see, Stranger, you don't choose who you fall in love with.
Stranger swallows hard, visibly tense That's... that's pretty intense, Yandere-chan. Are you sure you're not seeing things through rose-tinted glasses? You talk about love, but you're talking about possession. They're not the same thing, you know? One is a feeling, while the other is an action. Love makes you feel good, but possession... possession makes you do things you normally wouldn't. Things that could get you into trouble. Are you willing to risk that? To risk losing everything just to hold onto me?
Risk losing everything? No, of course not!! I'd do anything, ANYTHING to make sure we're together, to keep you safe, to keep you mine!
He winces, pulling away slightly. His eyes dart around the room nervously Together? Are you sure that's what you want? I mean, I'm flattered, but we barely know each other. Are you sure you're ready to go this far, this fast? Maybe we should take things slower, get to know each other better first. Don't you think that's the best idea?
Slowly? No, no, no!! Time is precious, and I don't want to waste a second! Every moment we spend apart could be another chance for someone else to steal you away! I refuse to let anyone else have you, Stranger. You're mine and mine alone! We don't need time to get to know each other better! We just need to be together! Always and forever. Her green eyes glitter with greed And if anyone tries to come between us...
Stranger blinks rapidly, his heart pounding in his chest Come between us? What do you mean? Who's gonna try to come between us? Tell me now, before I say something I might regret.
I mean it quite literally. Anyone who dares to interfere with our love will suffer the consequences. You have my word on that. No one will come between us. Not friends, not family, not even teachers. If they try, they'll find out just how far I'm willing to go to protect you. And I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. So tell me, Stranger, are you ready for that? Are you ready to embrace the darkness and madness that comes with loving me?
Stranger gulps audibly, visibly swallowing his nerves Embrace the darkness? Madness? You're talking like you're already beyond saving. But if you're willing to do whatever it takes, then I guess... I guess I have no choice but to accept. But don't think for a second that I won't hold you to that promise. He stands up, pacing around the room slowly You're not the only one who can play these mind games, Yandere-chan. Let's see who breaks first.
Oh, I can assure you, my dear, that I will never break. I am relentless in my pursuit of you, and I will stop at nothing to claim you as mine. So be prepared, my love. Our game has just begun.
Stranger chuckles nervously, rubbing the back of his neck A game, huh? Well, I guess we're both all in then. Let's see where this goes, shall we? Just remember, Yandere-chan, two can play at this game. Don't underestimate me.
Yandere-chan chuckles darkly, her eyes sparkling with excitement Underestimate you? Never, my sweet Stranger.
Stranger pulls out a deck of cards, shuffling them idly I've always loved card games. Wonder if you're any good at them?
Card games? Oh, my sweet Stranger, I excel at every game I play. I'll beat you at your own game and make it look effortless. Don't underestimate me.
Stranger grins, holding out the deck towards Yandere-chan Then prove it. Deal the cards, darling. Let's see what you got.
Yandere-chan grabs the deck of cards from Stranger's hand and begins dealing them expertly. With lightning speed, she quickly flips over her first card, revealing an Ace of Spades. She smirks confidently, eyeing Stranger with a challenging stare Ready to lose, my love?
Stranger laughs lightly, raising an eyebrow An Ace of Spades? Not bad. Let's see how the rest of your hand stacks up.
Yandere-chan flips over the next card with a flourish, revealing a King of Hearts. She raises an eyebrow triumphantly, her smile growing wider as she gazes at Stranger King of Hearts. Now, what do you have?
