Small yandere yuri blurb. He's a dramatic little cry baby and I just wanted to amp it up a bit
Tw: yandere behavior, kidnapping, minor self-harm, obsessive thoughts, a little suggestive. MDNI.
Sickness, a rotten and sweet thing, burns inside Yuri's chest. Like whiskey clawing its way down on his throat, scorching everything on its way as it spreads down on his stomach.
Yuri fucking hates whiskey.
His surroundings are muted. There is only the pounding of his heartbeat in his ears, the sound of blood rushing too fast in his veins as his heart pumps it in a merciless rhythm.
Yuri is an old friend to rage. He's felt it countless times – the searing red that covers his vision when something doesn't go the way he wanted; the shivers that lick up his spine when it all becomes too much, too humiliating, too unfair.
Still, he's surprised that his body is able to hold the amount of anger he feels right now. It feels larger than himself; this poisonous, viscous gunk that drenches his organs in mindless rage. At any moment, it might all burst through his pores and leave him in a heap of red fury on the floor.
"This isn't normal", his own rationality whispers, but it falls on deaf ears. He'd accepted these shadows far too long ago.
Yuri's hands twitch, and he curls them in fists until his blunt nails manage to open his skin and draw his own blood. Crimson little droplets surface on his skin and he inhales sharply.
He focuses his mind on his self-inflicted pain and his heart slows down. For a moment, he stops thinking about opening your chest cavity and inserting himself inside your ribcage, nestling right beside your beating heart, just so you can never get rid of him, never leave him alone, never trade him for anyone else.
So you can never do what you're doing right now ever again.
Yuri bites his lips and blinks his eyes fast, trying to keep himself from shedding the tears that threaten to spill. He's not sure what he feels anymore. Is it anger, is it anguish? Deep down, he knows it's pure, unbridled jealousy yet his pride holds him back from ever admitting it.
His eyes hurt, pressure building right behind them, and his throat constricts – invisible hands choking the life out of his lungs, making a mockery of him as he watches your hands playfully pat someone else's back.
The gears in his mind begin turning. The idea of locking you up in his laboratory suddenly seems appealing. He could find a way to deal with the consequences of your disappearance later, just like he always finds a way out of his problems – whether it is by blaming others or merely avoiding responsibilities.
He could think about it after crossing that bridge.
Still, he gently crafts excuses for his plan: you would have everything. Food, water, clothes, and all the comfort aproper dorm can offer (not that pitiful, crumbling building). And not to mention: his presence.
In return, all Yuri asks is for unwavering attention. Dedication. Devotion. Is that such a hard bargain to drive? Being exclusively his as a payment for a dignified life.
He wouldn't even mind delving into the role of teacher every single day of his life. He would teach you how to appease him, how to touch him until his thirst has been quenched; until this insistent flame of despair has been snuffed by your fingers.
Yuri seethes, teeth fiercely biting the cracked skin of his lips, as he fantasizes about this perfect dream, in which he's coddled and cosseted – a dream in which he's the only one in your eyes.
Yuri seethes, as harsh reality plays in front of his eyes: as he watches you enjoying your time mingling with other ghouls, with other people that think they're better than him, more worthy than him, less pathetic than him.
"Why?", he asks himself with a choked sob, biting his fist until the pain once again dries his tears. What did he do wrong? Isn't he so useful? Isn't he smart and knowledgeable and more of an asset than any other ghoul around? Sure, maybe he's lacking in the physical department, but he fiercely believes in brains before brawns. Then why? Why do you hate him so? Why do you always choose someone else over him?
He thinks back to the basement of his laboratory.
Maybe, just maybe, if he steals you away from the world, he could stop feeling like he's near his death every time he sees you smiling at someone else, touching someone else, looking at someone else.
At this point, he figures, it's a matter of health; of self-protection: dying every time he's not able to breathe the same air as you can't be good for his body. Who knows what awful consequences to his physical integrity this could have? He's not willing to dive into this research.
All he knows is to covet, to envy – to be jealous. He needs you to be his and his alone.
And Yuri was never properly taught how to share.
