Is it okay for a loner like me to have a yandere?

Life is so beautiful. I know I sound cringe but it feels so good holding the hand of my girlfriend. It makes me feel that everything around me is beautiful.

We were heading to the school with our hands connected and a sweet and comfortable silence settled between us.

Not anything unusual happened other than us skipping the morning run since we fell asleep later than usual last night.

I glanced at Suzune-san and found her looking back at me.

We both blushed and looked away at the same.

What is this? I feel so happy. It hurts!

People were glancing at us often, saying things that I definitely wanted to not hear.

Suddenly, I felt I needed a makeover.

I purposely wear loose clothes, have long hair, and always remain silent so as not to draw attention to myself. But I can’t let things drag on like this. I know she won’t feel embarrassed but still, I want to change myself so I don’t steal my gaze away when someone looks at me.

“Aki-kun …today, do you have any plans?” She suddenly asked, breaking my train of thought.

I tilted my head and thought momentarily before shaking my head, “Nope, nothing.”

Suzune blinked and waited for a moment before an awkward smile lifted the edges of her lips as she said, “Oh, okay.”

Hmm? What is i-oh, shit!

How can I be such a dunce?

“Ah…if it’s okay with you, how about we go out..like we can go watch a movie or something?”

“Okay.” She readily nodded, “We can take the evening show.”

I nodded, happy that I understood what she wanted.

Seriously, what’s the point of reading so many romance novels when I fail to even take such small initiatives?

While chatting merrily, we reached the classroom and came to an abrupt halt as a familiar person was about to step out.

It was Yuki.

Her brows elevated as she saw our connected hands.

“Oh,” she said before giving us the space.

I didn’t bother greeting her and walked inside.

Our connected hands were seen by most of the classmates, so it must have become apparent that we are together now.

That’s right, fuckers, stay away from my girlfriend now.

I glanced at Takuya’s group and found them, unnaturally silent and busy on their phones.

I led Suzune to her seat before we reluctantly let go of each other.

“Don’t flirt with me too much today. I have already been warned by sensei twice.” I told her with a strict expression…well, I tried to be serious.

She tilted her, a teasing smile on her face, “I am pretty sure you will keep looking at me restlessly.”

I shrugged, “Blame yourself for that. Even my favorite class couldn’t keep my head on the blackboard these days.”

She giggled, “Aki-kun, you told me not to flirt, yet you already are.” Leaning closer, she whispered, “Save something for tonight.”

My heart rate spiked.

Tomorrow, my parents will be returning so Suzune will be going back.

Tonight probably would be the last night, for at least a long time, when we could stay under the same roof alone.

Seeing her ears turning red, I knew it wasn’t just me who was thinking about ‘it’.

“Okay class, go back to your seats.” Sensei arrived just in time to ruin the mood.

I didn’t say anything and approached my seat.

My heart was still beating fast since…today, I might be losing my virginity.

Fuck…I am nervous but excited too.

….

During lunch, as always, we joined tables and had lunch, which she had prepared.

While our right hands were working to pick the veggies our left hands were connected under the desk.

It was such a special feeling to hold her hand in the class with everyone around.

We had lunch in silence; possibly, neither of us had forgotten the conversation before the homeroom.

While it was not awkward, I could tell that we both were nervous.

Suzune previously mentioned, before we started dating, that she had never been in a relationship before, so this must be her first time, too.

I don’t want to sound narrow-minded, but it makes me happy.

“Have you decided what movie would you like to watch?” I asked her once we finished lunch.

She shrugged, “Any movie is fine.” So…she just wanted to go on a date. Well, me too.

Soon, the bell rang and we had to return to our seats.

The last three periods dragged on like forever. I can’t recall when I felt school was this boring and classes were so lengthy. It almost felt like they were purposely teaching more and extending classes to keep me away from my girlfriend.

Fortunately, after two and a half hours, the final bell rang

I exhaled a long breath and instantly packed my bag before getting up.

I approached Suzune and found her frowning while looking at her phone.

I blinked in confusion before asking her, “Is everything alright?”

She instantly turned toward me, her frown vanishing as she nodded, “Yes, everything good.”

I asked, “Then…should we leave?”

Suzune seemed a bit troubled, “I have been requested by the literature club for a visit today. How about you go back and wait for me? I promise I won’t take long.”

I was surprised. She never told me that she was thinking of joining the literature club

But I didn’t question her and nodded, “Alright, I will be waiting. Don’t be late.” I gave her hand a gentle squeeze and made my way out of the classroom.

Returning home, I bought a few ingredients for dinner…and…also bought a box which I never found the use of until now.

I intentionally picked a different shop because of embarrassment. Thankfully, the shopkeeper just glanced at me when it came time to scan it.

I rushed back home with my face hot.

Damn…never thought this day would come so soon.

Returning home, I took a bath and changed my clothes since we would be leaving for our date.

I was thinking of calling Suzune since it was already four when suddenly the doorbell rang.

“Coming.” I hurried toward the door and without checking the front door cam, I opened the door—

“Huh?”

—only to regret it a second later.

On the other side wasn’t Suzune.

It was Yuki.

A smiling Yuki stood there.
