Yandere Bestfriend x Obstacle Reader
*Unedited
So this is kind of a quick detour or filler chapter to discuss our main yandere (Marco!).
Something I want to make clear about Love Me, Love Me Not is that the story is an AU of an already existing yandere story for Marco's side!
In Marco's original timeline, he's the COO of a successful makeup branch in korea. In Love Me Love Me Not!: Marco never went to Korea, never met the CEO (his half brother) of Beauty Point- but instead continued to pursue his career in the police force.
(Basically, he never became that rich delusional man who was impulsive, irrational, and delusional - instead a corrupt cop who was more calculative, nonchalant, and saw people as little sheeps who doted on him. Think of it to a 'I NEED THEM' to 'THEY NEED ME' personality switch.)
In this timeline, Marco met you in college after bumping into one of your friends during student orientation day. He couldn't care about what you had to say, but regardless, he feigned interest as he listened to you ramble about something he forgot about.
Leaning close to you, nodding, letting out cheerful. "Uh-huh- ohhhh, I see. Thanks! Man, same here! Y'know, that reminds me of the time-" basic NPC type of small talks.
But once he got a good look at your group, one from all had caught his interest.
Matheias, Angela, You, and Mila.
She hadn't spoke, she didn't even have to try- but she grabbed his attention. With her arms folded and a curious look on her face as she tagged along, not saying a word- it was love at first sight.
Soon enough, he found purpose with staying in that little group.
Though when she started to dwindle away from your friend group, Marco had felt obligated to stick with the rest. I mean, sure, he didn't care too much, but that didn't mean he didn't love you guys. So he made memories with you and found himself genuinely being invested with each and one of everyone's personalities.
For some reason, he noticed that you often sticked around him like a lost puppy. (Which is hilarious to me because Marco, in his og universe, was more of a golden retriever eagerly following around anyone who gave him attention, but oh how the tables turn)
He found it cute, so of course he paid more attention to you from the rest of the litter of nobodies. You could say that you were his favorite from the rest - but of course you could never take her place.
The two of you became close, the sleeping overnight - type of close.
There were some moments where you would catch him off guard, making him blush, flinch, or chuckle whenever you were yourself around him. He would never love you the way he loved her, but by god, would he go through hell to give you what you wanted. After all, he knew you would do the same.
Huh, I guess that's what best friends were for..
Though as things were going smoothly, Marco would notice how Angela became a bit annoying to him with each day. He never had a problem with her before, but the way she would swoon over Mila made him go cold.
He wasn't the type to overreact. He knew he wasn't the type to get upset so easily. It was once, he swears!
But one thing led to the next, and Angela had died to an unfortunate allergic reaction. Of course, Marco had slipped some peanuts into a snack he gave her, and no one suspected a thing. I mean, something like that must've been an unfortunate accident on her end. She ate something that had peanuts, she was alone at the park, and she didn't have her Epi-pen! It was a tragic accident.
Matheias had his suspicions that Marco had done something.. There was no evidence or reason to think this, but he had a gut feeling.
Fast forward, and you and Marco were the only remaining people in that friendgroup. After graduation, Marco and you were still on talking terms, Matheias had completely cut you off after Angela's funeral, and Mila was still talking with Marco - but not with you anymore.
More time passes, and on that very night, Marco calls you crying on the phone, begging you to meet him somewhere. Of course, worried, you rush over there only to see him smiling with a body bag over his shoulder.
Forced to comply as you knew you would be the next body bag for him to drag if you said no.
Why, though? Why specifically did he call you on that night if he knew he didn't want any witnesses?
That's something that would probably be revealed with time..Or not if he decides to end your life the very next day.
It was only once you thought. But soon enough, you found yourself complying with more of Marco's requests.
And of course, once you showed hesitance and stood your ground, Marco took that as a threat and made you into one of his own victims.
Come the present day, there were you trapped in his apartment, not knowing if he wanted you dead, or if he had other plans...
The thing that hurt the most for you was the fact that even when you knew he had feelings for someone else, you still liked him. Even now, you still have a bit of a crush on him...Talk about a painful rejection..
But that's the basis of this AU!
If you have any more questions about Marco in his 'Love Me, Love Me Not' Au, feel free to ask!

summary: Reader is forced to go to church and ends up meeting one of the priests. They think nothing much of it until they run into him again, and something blossoms between them.
tw: Slight religious truama?? Like not in depth or anything. Hard not to mention religion when it comes to a game about a priest lmao
a/n: Okay, a couple things. 1. This is gender neutral, but I do use the term school girl crush. I think it can be a gender neutral term to describe the feeling of a person if you know what I mean. 2. I tried to leave the reader's religion up in the air (?) but you can tell it leans towards atheist viewpoint. I totally made the reader relatable to me and I myself am an atheist.

Going to church wasnât my cup of tea. Yet the money my grandma waved under my nose just to go to church with her was too tempting. Besides, I can tune out another service and make a good $30. Itâll help pay my bills anyways. I stared up at the stage, not really paying attention. Not until the other priest starts speaking and god damn, heâs cute as fuck. I canât help but internally chuckle as my mind couldnât help but ogle at him. I felt saddened by the fact that I didnât get his name, but it was whatever. Itâs not like anything was going to happen.
I wasnât as down about the service since I had a cute priest I could daydream about. I was surprised I wasnât burning from how my thoughts werenât really as pure as they should be. Although I tried not to let my thoughts get too weird. Once the service ended, I got up with my grandparents and we exited the main room. My grandma asked me to wait in the hallway as they wanted to speak to the priests quickly. I agreed, although I felt like they were up to something.Â
I awkwardly leaned against the wall as people all dressed to the nines walked past me. I nodded politely as they walked past. I fidgeted with my hands as soon only a few people lingered and I felt out of place. I really just wanted to get out of here and watch t.v.Â
âHello, you must be (y/n),â An unfamiliar voice spoke from my left. I turned to face the person only to feel my heart drop. It was the cute priest, and the fact that he not only knew my name, but was currently speaking to me was because of my grandparents.Â
I gave him a strained smile, trying not to seem like I was dying inside, âHello FatherâŠâ
âWard,â He supplied his name for me, a more relaxed smile on his face. âHow are you on this fine day?â
âIâm alright,â I shrugged, just wanting to get this over with. âHow are you?â
âGood,â He nodded. âYour grandparents shared some concerns they have.â
I felt tense and looked to the side rolling my eyes, I couldnât hide the disdain I clearly felt at that moment, âWell Iâm sorry to waste your time Father, they tend to get paranoid.â
âThey said you seem to stray from religion,â He continued, which caused my frown to grow.Â
âWell, Iâm still figuring things out,â I shrugged. âDonât tell them I said that, theyâll go even crazier if they know I said that.â
Father Ward nodded and gently patted my shoulder, âWe all go through trials of faith, if you ever have questions or need help, do not be afraid to come to me.â
I looked back towards the brunette priest and gave him a more genuine smile, âThank you for respecting that. Iâll keep your offer in mind.â
With a nod he bid me farewell. Then my grandparents came back, seeming more cheerful than before. I knew that people who were religious werenât all bad, my grandparents just ruined my view on religion. But perhaps a priest of all people can prove just how not all people are bad. Although I doubt Iâll see him again.Â
Which I was wrong about. I did see him again, when I was out grocery shopping of all places. I was picking out some of my favorite fruit only to see a familiar priest in casual attire checking out some vegetables. Normally, I avoid people Iâve met before if I see them again. Seeing someone Iâve met only once before tends to make my anxiety go off. And I still felt anxiety pulse through me, but something in me told me to speak up. He was really nice when we talked, so it shouldnât be too bad to just greet him in public.
âUhm,â I stuttered out, immediately regretting whatever made me think this was a good idea. âH-hi?â
Father Ward, the only name I knew him by currently, looked up and towards me. Confusion, surprise, and then a warm look flashed over his features in that order, âHello!â
I felt my brain race, not sure what to say now. Once again, I regret putting myself in this situation.
âDidnât expect to see you here,â I replied awkwardly.Â
âWell, I donât live in the church,â He chuckled.
âYeah,â I nodded. âBut itâs kinda like seeing a teacher outside of school if you know what I mean.â
He laughed a bit more at that and nodded, âI can see that.â
I cleared my throat, unsure how to end the conversation, âIâll uh, leave you to it then. Sorry to bother you.â
âNot a bother at all,â He smiled warmly in response. âYouâre doing well I hope?â
âYeah,â I nodded, surprised that he was keeping the conversation going. âJust work all day and rest at home. How about you?â
âI could be doing better,â He admitted, not meeting my eyes. âBut I wonât bore you about all that.â
I felt myself frown, I already felt myself grow attached to him. Which I knew was dumb, he was a priest, so of course heâs going to be friendly. But I didnât interact with people outside of work much anymore so it was a nice breath of fresh air. It didnât help that this interaction was humanizing him more than how I viewed him before, as a man of God that was perfect.Â
âI donât mind you sharing,â I said softly. âAlthough I doubt youâd want to tell me in a grocery store.âÂ
âI wouldnât want to burden you with my problems,â Ward said with a grim smile. âBesides, we barely know each other. You donât even know my first name.â
âWell,â I said a bit dumbly. âThen tell me.â
He hesitated, âJohn.â
âNice to meet you John,â I joked, trying to lighten the mood. âMaybe we could catch a movie or something and get to know each other better.â
That day, a relationship grew. We had a small home made dinner at my house and wellâŠgot to know each other better. After that, weâd hang out here and there. It was really nice. He was a sweet guy, although a bit disturbed. He opened up to me about his past. Not much, but I could piece things together. He told me he partook in an exorcism gone wrong, how after he wasnât well mentally but got help and how he was better now. How he had a wife but they got divorced a few years ago, but how she wasnât at fault, and he understands her reasoning.
So I did some research. I found out about Amy Martin, how she was now in psychiatric care, and how terrible the entire situation was. I knew that if John wanted to tell me his perspective of the event, he would in his own time, I donât want to reopen any wounds. All I wished was to be a new support in Johnâs life, someone he knows he can lean on when he needs it.
One night, John and I planned on watching a movie, at my house he persisted. I didnât mind. I made some popcorn, got some sweets I bought just for tonight, and set it all out on my coffee table. A knock on the door made me perk up and I got up to answer it right away. I smiled brightly as I saw John stand on the other side. His face showed relief and I immediately became worried. I noticed how he had dark circles under his eyes and my assumption was he mustâve had a nightmare again.
I ushered him in, asking if he wanted anything to drink, which he asked for some water. I got a glass of water as quickly as I could before walking back into my living room. He thanked me as I handed him the glass and I sat down next to him.
âWhatâs wrong?â I asked softly, hoping not to startle him into keeping to himself.
His blue eyes met mine, but looked away quickly after sipping some of the cold water. It was silent for a few seconds before he confessed, âI had another nightmare.â
I licked my lips, unsure of where to go from here. Iâve never been the best at comforting people.Â
âDo you want to talk about it?â
He became tense and I knew that was the wrong thing to say, âIâd rather try and forget about it.â
I nodded in understanding, âDid you still want to watch a movie? We could do something else as well.â
âYou seem to have put a lot of effort into our movie night,â John smiled shyly. âAnd with you by my side I feel better already.âÂ
I felt my heart skip a beat and I tried to act calm. I always found him attractive, but the more I got to know him, the harder I seemed to fall. I felt like a schoolgirl getting a crush, it was so embarrassing. I mean he was a priest after all, could he even date? IÂ mean he mentioned his ex-wife before, but I was still unsure about all that. He still seemed to really care for her after all.Â
âWell Iâm glad I can give you some form of comfort,â I smiled sheepishly back. âNeed a hug?â I opened my arms at the invite, hoping Iâm not coming off like an idiot.Â
He hesitated once more, before slowly wrapping me in an embrace. I rubbed his back in a soothing manner. I felt myself melt into the hug, not used to being touched in such an affectionate manner. Though I reminded myself that this was for him, and to make him feel safe, a small part of me wanted to be selfish and indulge myself with the warm feeling overtaking me.Â
I pulled away slowly, âIâll go start the movie real quick.â I whispered, feeling like a volume any higher would break the moment.Â
I went over to my collection of VHS tapes and picked out Back to the Future. Slipping the tape into my VHS player, I joined John on the couch once more. I glanced over at John, and bit my lip in thought. I could play it risky and offer to hold himâŠI mean he still seems a bit shaken and itâs totally not because I just want toâŠ
I leaned against the arm of the couch, mindlessly watching the movie. I glanced at John once more and made up my mind. I tapped him on the shoulder, gaining his attention. I opened my arms once more. He was still slightly hesitant, but accepted the offer once more. This time I leaned back and he was laid on top of me. I went back to âwatchingâ the movie, hoping he wouldnât say anything. I thanked God as he didnât. The movie continued playing, but all I could focus on was the cute priest that I was currently holding.Â
I hope that he couldnât hear how fast my heart was beating, but his head was resting on my chest so Iâm sure he could. I absentmindedly drew shapes over his spine as I tried to distract myself from how warm I felt. I didnât even notice that he fell asleep until the movie ended. Once the credits rolled I looked down at John, only to find his eyes shut with a peaceful look on his face. I felt myself crumble at howâŠhonored I felt that he trusted me this much. I resigned to being a pillow, trying to get more comfortable myself. I grabbed the throw blanket that was on the back of my couch and threw it over us.
If there is a God, I canât help but thank him for bringing John into my life.

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.
if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

I was doing a vocal stim and just standing there going âRAAHHrrrrrRAAHHrrrrrâ when my partner Jamie walks up to me and asks, âIs Itâs alarm going off?â I canât respond and I keep doing it so she smiles and says âbeep boopâ as she pretends to press buttons against my chest to reset me.
Writing advice from my uni teachers:
If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says âIâm madâ but they can say it in 100 other ways.
Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way youâre only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
Donât overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
I know that the people who need to hear this won't hear this, but I only block people for being annoying. That's my only qualification I block people by. If I find you annoying I'm blocking you, and if I don't, I don't. And before you ask, yeah I'll block terfs and nazis on sight, but that is 100% consistent with my "only for being annoying" -rule, because they are, by default and quintessentially, annoying. And if you're now confused why you might be blocked if you are neither terf nor a nazi, I drew this very handy venn diagram:

i don't know what autistic person needs to hear this but they are not watching you. the entire world is not constantly waiting for you to do something weird and laugh at you behind your back. you do not need to constantly self-police whenever there's the slightest chance another person might see you. you have a right to be your autistic self in public spaces. stop fighting yourself for their sake.

yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.
