carly speaks — decided to make this into my first series, so sorry for ending on a cliffhanger and that this was short!! i’ve never written a series so i’m winging this.. anyway! got this request and was so excited, so this is the post you’re getting while my poll is still ongoing! while i do not wish to romanticize yandere content outside of fiction, i do enjoy writing it. it lets me dissect a character more than i may otherwise. i love deciding what yandere sub-type they fall under!
max hatter was falling. hard. he noticed you when you tried to keep yourself hidden, noticed you when you shied away instinctively from any conversation. even from the corner of his eye, he’d be tracking you.
it was interesting to him. having something, someone, to latch onto. at first, it had been simple intrigue. but as he began memorizing your habits, what made you tick, just from simple observations, he could tell something was shifting within him.
so he approached you one day. it hadn’t exactly been planned. after days of observing you silently, he’d just decided that day he’d finally start something with you. during lunch, he’d found where you frequented. a book in your lap, head craned to read it, lunch at your side as you sat on a bench. he stopped in front of you. waiting.
after a few seconds, your eyes lifted. you stared at him. silent. before you spoke, voice hesitant. “..do you need something?”
“may i sit?” he answered your question with one of his own. he saw your emotions on your face - you weren’t very good at hiding them. so he saw the flicker of surprise pass over your features, before you tried to school yourself into calmness.
“if you insist.” you shuffled to one side of the bench, quietly moving your items with you. he let himself sit close, barely closer than one might call too close to comfort.
you didn’t comment on it, even when he glanced at you for a split-second and found slight discomfort on your face. he found himself smirking. he was already learning what he could get away with without you saying a word. sitting too close was the first on his list.
he didn’t ask for your name. he already knew who you were. you didn’t ask for his name either. some part of him was giddy about it, his first thought being that you must have some semblance of who he was as well.
as time passed in silence that was just as awkward as it wasn’t, he found himself wanting to speak up. but about what? you weren’t even looking up. a part of him felt irritated about it. about the fact a book caught your attention more than he did.
he hesitated, before deciding he wanted to be the center of your attention instead. his touch was soft as he carefully took hold of the book in your hands, lightly pulling it away.
that made you look up. and he was instantly falling all over again, just as he had when he’d first taken notice of you. desperately, embarrassingly fast.
“i want to get to know you.” his voice was stronger than he had thought it’d be.
“do you?” the question was quiet.
“yes,” was his immediate answer. he wanted to know everything about you. he wanted you to tell him what he already knew, what he didn’t already know. he wanted it all.
“i don’t enjoy talking.”
“i know.”
“then why are you bothering to try?”
“because,” he placed a hand gently over yours. a calculated movement you hadn’t seemed to perceive as such yet. “everyone deserves to have someone they’re willing to open up to. i want to be that person.”
“no, you don’t.” you spoke softly.
“i do.” his voice was firmer this time. he was trying to make you believe it. he was hoping you would. hoping you’d let him in, even if it was barely nothing.
you pulled your hand away, getting up quickly. “i’ll see you around, max.”
he froze. oh, he loved how you said his name. he wanted you to say it again. over and over. but for now.. he let you leave. because you hadn’t realized it at that moment, but you’d left your book by his side. and he knew he’d have another opening to see you again.
