My Yandere Harem Doesn't Accept No-Chapter 16: New Sensations

Several days had passed between the game and real life.

Lyan was handling his interactions with Reid and Solène quite well, casual chats about whatever came up, nothing too deep.

He had exchanged a few words with Sera as well, short conversations in the hallways or the classroom, nothing more.

In real life, it was the same as always...

Without much interest in anything in particular, beyond asking about gyms and that was it.

- - - -

Lyan was in his new apartment, or rather, the game’s apartment, walking around the room shirtless with a towel over his head.

He had just taken a shower.

He had tried something that had been making him curious for a while, which was sleeping inside the game.

In the end, it turned out to be completely normal.

He lay down, closed his eyes, and simply fell asleep. Then he woke up inside the game as if nothing had happened.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

He took advantage of it to experiment, since there were no classes for at least four days, which he planned to fully use inside the game.

So he had plenty of time to stay connected without worrying about the schedule.

As he walked around looking at the room and admiring it like he always did, he noticed something strange in one of the paintings on the wall.

He stopped abruptly.

"What is that...?" he murmured, slowly approaching.

There was a light flickering from the center of the frame.

Small, almost imperceptible, but it was there.

Lyan frowned and stepped closer, leaning slightly to get a better look.

When he got close enough, he saw nothing.

It was completely normal.

Just the dark wooden frame and the abstract landscape painted on the canvas.

’That’s weird...’

He thought, staring at the painting for a few more seconds, not quite understanding what that had been.

When he was about to grab the painting with both hands to examine it better, the system appeared in front of him with a sudden flash.

[New mission available.]

Lyan was immediately distracted, turning toward the floating screen and completely taking his attention off the painting.

"What is it?" he asked out loud.

[Mission: Go to the library tomorrow during break hours.]

Lyan read the message very carefully.

It didn’t say anything else.

No additional details or any hint about what to do once he got there.

Just that.

’Hmm... alright.’

He thought, crossing his arms as he looked at the screen.

And assuming it was a game mission, it probably had something to do with one of the girls.

Thinking about them made him shiver slightly as he remembered all five of them together in that room.

Even though nothing had happened beyond more than a greeting with the others, aside from Sera and Saoirse, the tension in the air had been damn palpable.

And speaking of Saoirse...

Remembering what they did in that room made him blush slightly.

He brought a hand to his face, covering his eyes with his fingers as he let out a long sigh.

’I never thought I’d get my dick sucked...’

Much less in a game.

But it had happened, and it wasn’t like he regretted it, exactly.

It was just... strange to process.

He slowly lowered his hand and looked ahead for a moment, not thinking about anything in particular.

Then, almost without realizing it, his gaze dropped.

He stared downward for a few seconds, processing something that had been on his mind for a while.

If the game allowed that kind of thing...

If the sensations were as real as they had been so far...

Then...

’Why not...?’

He thought with a small smile on his lips.

’Let’s see how it feels.’

- - - -

After... that, Lyan lay on the bed for a moment, staring at the ceiling with an expression somewhere between satisfaction and boredom.

Then he shook his head and sat up on the edge of the bed.

Just as he did, his phone vibrated on the nightstand.

Lyan glanced at it before reaching out to grab it, unlocking it and seeing the notification of a new message.

He only had four contacts saved.

Reid, Solène, Sera, and his father.

Nothing else.

Without hesitation, he opened the message and saw it was from Reid.

Reid: Hey, can we drop by your place with Solène? To eat and drink something, since we start late tomorrow.

Lyan read the message for a second, then looked at the time in the corner of the screen.

It wasn’t that late yet.

Lyan: Doesn’t Solène have classes early tomorrow?

The reply came almost instantly.

Reid: no, if you don’t believe me ask her yourself, you’ve got her number for a reason.

Lyan let out a short chuckle when he read that.

Lyan: sure, come over.

He placed the phone face down on the nightstand and stood up to look for a shirt.

- - - -

When Reid and Solène arrived, Lyan greeted them at the door with a relaxed smile.

Reid was wearing an orange T-shirt and shorts, with a bag hanging from his right hand.

Solène was behind him, her hair tied in a high ponytail that revealed her neck and part of her shoulders.

She wore a slightly loose white T-shirt that hung at the sides, and a pair of shorts that accentuated her figure and showed her thighs in a way Lyan couldn’t help but notice for a second before looking away.

"Hey." Lyan said, greeting each of them as he stepped aside to let them in.

"Hi, Lyan." Solène replied with a calm smile.

Reid walked in first and placed the bag on the table.

"We brought drinks." he said, pointing at the bag. "Beers and some stuff to eat."

Lyan stepped closer to see what he had brought, nodding.

"I ordered something from the phone app." he said. "It should arrive in a few minutes."

Reid looked at him approvingly.

"Good." he said as he pulled out a can of beer from the bag and opened it without waiting. "In the meantime, let’s drink something."

Solène let out a short laugh as she sat down on the couch.

"Always so impatient."

Reid took a long sip of his beer before answering.

"It’s not impatience. It’s efficiency."

Lyan laughed and went to grab some utensils from the kitchen.

- - - -

They spent the whole night drinking and eating.

The food Lyan had ordered arrived about twenty minutes later, and between that and what Reid and Solène had brought, they ended up with the table full of empty containers and open bottles.

They talked nonsense for hours.

Reid told exaggerated stories about things that had happened to him at the academy, half of them probably made up, but no one argued with him.

Solène laughed every time Reid said something ridiculous, and Lyan just listened with a smile while slowly sipping his beer.

At some point, they started playing something they made up on the spot, a mix between questions and answers where whoever lost had to drink.

No one kept track of who was winning or losing, so they all just ended up drinking anyway.

The conversation became more and more disordered and the laughter louder.

Until, at some point in the early morning, Reid fell asleep on the couch with his head tilted back and his mouth slightly open.

Lyan and Solène looked at him for a second before looking at each other.

Solène let out a soft laugh, covering her mouth with her hand.

"He can’t handle anything." she murmured with amusement.

Lyan just laughed with a slightly crooked, alcohol-tinged laugh.

"Yeah..."

The two of them stayed silent for a moment, sitting on the floor with their backs against the couch.

Both of them were drunk.

Not completely wasted, but enough for everything to feel slower and warmer than usual.

Lyan turned his head toward her, glancing at her from the corner of his eye.

Solène was staring at some point on the floor, with a small smile on her lips.

"..."

Neither of them said anything for a while.
