"Aurelia! I was so worried when I heard you were sent to the hospital! Are you okay? Are you still in pain?" Eli was getting too close to me with that snot covered face so I, not hiding it, move away from him with a disgusted and annoyed expression. Even though his face was so gross looking to me right now I could see how he was "attractive" to Aurelia in the first place.
With a face that still had baby fat, I could see deep blue eyes that I am surprised someone so young has. His light caramel skin went well with his light blonde hair. As I keep on looking at him I notice that his feet were off the ground as he fully lay on my bed. I could see he was currently wearing a white floral dress with white ribbons holding his hair up into pigtails.
He gave off an expression of an innocent child who could never hurt anyone. I narrow my eyes at the thought, feeling my heart tighten as I continue to look at Eli. I could feel something deep inside of me wanting to comfort him but it quickly got overpowered by my deep resentment for the boy standing in front of me.
"If you could be so kind, get off my bed right now and leave. I do not wish to see you at all. Now if you will excuse me I am going back to sleep. When I wake up, you better be gone." I could feel my heart loosen as I say that and pull my cover back over me then close my eyes. I couldn't hear anymore sniffling from Eli but unfortunately, I didn't hear him leave either.
After a few long minutes that felt like hours, I could hear Eli footsteps walking away from my bed and out of my room. I felt myself relax and I went back to sleep, not wanting to do anything else today but sleep. I would start planning tomorrow. For right now I just want to sleep.
After a while, I was going to drift off again until I heard footsteps approaching my room again. I could smell something delicious coming closer and my stomach decided to let out a growl, showing me I was rather hungry at the moment.
I slowly sat up in my bed again and I had a frown on my face once I realize it was Eli with a cart of food. He struggles to push the cart to my bed but continue to do it until it was near me. Letting out a huge breath, Eli sat on my bed again and I notice his face wasn't cover in tears or snot anymore.
"Aurelia, let eat breakfast together! You must be hungry, right? You shouldn't starve yourself you know? It will badly affect you in the future." Eli was giving me a bright smile as he removes a tray from the food cart and put it in front of me. I looked down at the tray and I saw french toasts that were designed to look like cats and tamagoyaki in the shape of hearts.
If Eli was the one who made this I would have thrown it on the ground, but I knew it was the people of this house who made it for me so I could only let out a sigh as I pick up a fork from the tray and eat.
Eli had a tray in front of him too as we ate on my bed. He was humming happily while I had an annoyed expression on my face, feeling pissed that I, unfortunately, was eating together with my "childhood friend".
"Is the food not good? You have such a displeased look on your face." Eli finally notices how annoyed I was at the moment and was tilting his head towards me in a cute way. If anyone else was here the would be gushing about how cute he was but I could only frown deeper at what he was doing.
"Why are you still here? I wish to be alone. Not eat breakfast together with you. After this is done, leave." I coldly spit that out to Eli and continue to eat, not caring that Eli stops humming. After I finish eating I place my fork down and look at the upset Eli who was just pushing around his small portion of leftover food. Eli made eye contact with me and I notice that his eyes look glossy.
I only stare at him, not caring that he is tearing up at the moment. Eli got up from my bed and put both of our trays onto the cart. I thought he was going to leave with the cart but he got back on my bed and, to my surprise, hug me tightly. Whenever I tried to wriggle out of his grip, he just increases it and I could only sit there with a glare on my face.
"Why are you so cold today?.... Did I do something wrong? Even though you usually act like this with me, you aren't this cold with me. A-Are we not friends anymore?" I could feel my breathing get difficult as Eli's grip grew super tight. I was surprised someone at his age was this strong already. I could feel danger flags going off in my head as my shoulder grew wet with Eli tears.
"If I can't be your friend, what the point of being alive anymore? Not having you in my life is death itself. Don't kill me, Aurelia. Don't." I could feel cold sweat appearing on my back, as Eli's cutesy voice grew darker. 'Okay, I forgot one important thing. He is the yandere love interest. I can't just be cold towards him. He is literally a wildcard.'
"Eli, you are hurting me. We are still friends but you are hurting me so let go before we stop being friends." I could only sigh on the inside once I realize I would have to be his "friend" if I didn't want any "accident" to happen to me. Eli let go of me quickly and I saw a bright smile on his face as he just looks at me. I just give him an indifferent look, not bothering to pretend I was please or happy.
"Sorry! You did come out of the hospital. I hope I didn't hurt you at all. You are my best friend after all. I would rather die than hurt you." Eli was nuzzling his face against mine and I couldn't help but understand why Aurelia fell in love with him. If someone acts like this towards you and you never got any type of love from your family then of course you would stick with this person. 'How disgusting. I hate this. I hate him. But I have to put up with him. Once I reach the game starting point I will never have to deal with him again.'
Eli was still nuzzling me as I thought this, humming happily again. I had both my hands tight in a fist, holding myself back from trying to harm him. I had to be smart. Even if I hated him, I can't just act out whenever I want. I will just plan ahead. I won't do anything to him unless he does something first.
I wonder if it is bad that I hope he tries something just so I can break him.
