Yandere Richard vs Yandere Hernando
What if they're both want you?
Scenario: The knight gave a silent strained smile with a flick of annoyance at the matador whose scar lips were still smiling but with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Tw: yandere, toxic relationship, manipulation, gaslighting, attempt murder/death (not in details, just saying it will happen)
Congrats? You got the attention of two of the finest suitors. Each with their own charms and baggage, a blessing and a burden. So what now?
Sharing is not an option. If they agree to share you, it's only because they're sharing temporarily but constantly planning the demise of the other party. Even during the time they shared you, you'll constantly feel overwhelmed by both their presence, especially when you have one of them constantly and proudly clinging to you while the other one is begrudgingly watching from the side to keep his knightly appearance.
Hernando is not ashamed to show public pda, even when you're not together he'll constantly find ways to snake his arm around you and pull you closer into him to the dismay of Richard. To be fair, Hernando is already very clingy even without any competitions, but with Richard as a competitor for your affection? It would increase by tenfold. You constantly would be seeing a seething Richard glaring down the beaming man in the background.
Surprisingly, despite how touchy he is, Hernando doesn't blurt out his love for you. I can see that he'll need you to be the first one saying “I love you.” That's only because as someone who constantly has to put on a brave face and train throughout his entire childhood, he'll have little time to understand the ways around words. Actions are easier than words sometimes for him, he fully believes that if constantly being around you, hanging onto you, and saving you during matches, it would make you come to love him. Well, who wouldn't?
If you don't reject or recoil from Hernando’s touchiness and constantly gravitate towards you, you'll give him the mixed signal that he's won against Richard, and he'll probably delude himself into thinking accepted him and chose him. Hernando is the type to take everything by face value and doesn't read too deep into things or heavily analyze like Richard would. He saves you during matches because he loves you, he attaches himself to you because he loves you, he's competing against another survivor because he loves you, and if you aren't showing signs of rejecting him, that must mean you love him right? If you made it clear, you're just unsure and like both of them… Hernando will be plotting to get rid of that knight wannabe…
Richard on the other hand… This man lowkey stands no chance against Hernando. He’s very good at manipulation and gaslighting, he's been doing that all his life. He wants to charm you, take the lead, and be the first to confess out his love for you to make you his but… with Hernando constantly within your presence any chance he gets, Richard doesn't really have a chance for alone time to sink his claws into you. The only way he'll get a chance to be alone with you is during matches and boy does it take advantage of it. He doesn't care if it's foolish to be helping you and securing your escape each time even at the cost of his own life, but he'll be promoting his “knight” image any chance he gets.
Richard isn't naturally charming like Hernando is so he’ll be showing his act of attempting to win you over through his actions. He wants you to come to him rather than going to you himself. He hopes that with each of his support and sacrifices each match, that you'll naturally gravitate towards him. He has a lot of patience, after all, all his life he's pretending to be someone he's not. If you even once come to him after the match is over before Hernando can get to you, Richard would have succeeded. He'll be upping his charismatic skills and doing the classic treating you like a princess and charming you with his words. He will also be hiding his toxic traits and only show you the good side of him like a sheep in wolf clothing, just waiting for you to choose him and then it's over for you.
If you tell him that you're unsure and you like both of them or just don't know who to choose, Richard would be flabbergasted and a little offended. This is because he feels like he's doing all these things for you and as a princess (that he forced you into being), shouldn't you naturally choose him? Unlike Hernando, he feels obligated to your love after everything he's done and because you don't feel the same, he’ll be plotting ways to get alone time with Hernando to get rid of him.
Both aren't capable of sharing, both want to be your savior and only one can. Choosing one of them doesn't necessarily mean that either one would give up, it just acts as a catalyst for a bloody duel. The one you didn't choose will be angry and attempt to kill the other person and the one you did choose will attempt to kill the other person so you won't get a chance to go back on your choices. One will remain dead in the night while the other will return to your side.
