I have the disgusting ability to wear the same shit for long but Reverie walks around serving cunt, its a shame
Ooh so I had a dream that Anaxa was my academic rival. He was relatively standoffish so I figured he disliked me since we only spoke when necessary. I didnât mind since that meant i could do my introvert things and focus on research. But when we were forced to work together he slowly and methodically over time showed his true colours as a yearning yandere đł like he was obsessed but super cunning!
Iâm excited to see what heâs like in game! Lol
Yandere!Anaxa x Reader
Scratch. Scratch.
The steady rhythm of pens against papers filled the research hall, a quiet symphony of intellect in motion. The air was thick with the weight of concentration, punctuated only by the occasional murmur of scholars trading theories, the rustle of turned pages.
And then, Anaxa sat down beside you.
You didnât react immediately. He was always like thisâsilent, only engaging when necessary. If he had his way, the two of you would exchange no more than a few words, and that was fine with you.
Except this time, there was no avoiding him. Collaboration was mandatory.
âI donât like group projectsâ he said.
âThen donât slow me down.â
He huffed a quiet laugh. âIf anything, youâd be the one struggling to keep up.â
âThen letâs not waste time.â
The first task was simple: gather the necessary data, record findings, and return for analysis. Simple in theory, at least.
You had expected this to be a tedious affair, given Anaxaâs usual standoffish nature. Instead, you found yourself standing slightly behind him, quill in hand, watching as he effortlessly extracted information from people as though it was second nature to him.
With scholars, he was sharp and direct, threading his questions in a way that made them eager to prove themselves. With common folk, he was almost⊠charming, casual yet undeniably persuasive. You had seen him argue in academic settings beforeâblunt, efficient, never wasting wordsâbut this was different.
You, in contrast, played the role of a secretary, silently noting down everything while he worked.
âI can feel you staring.â
You scoffed and focused back on your notes. âIâm just writing.â
By the time you had gathered everything, the sky had long since darkened.
âHere,â you said, handing him the notes. âWe can continue analyzing everything tomorrow.â
Anaxa took them without a word, his fingers brushing against yours.
ââŠSee you tomorrow thenâ
The next day, Anaxa arrived as usual. But something felt⊠off.
The way he sat down, just a fraction slower than normal. The faint rigidity in his posture, as if he were forcing himself to act as though nothing was wrong. But you werenât blind.
You turned slightly toward him, frowning. âYouâre warm.â
âI didnât realize you made a habit of checking my temperature.â
You ignored his teasing and pressed the back of your hand lightly against his forehead. The heat radiating from his skin was undeniable.
âYouâre burning upâ you muttered. âWhy are you even here?â
âI can handle it,â he replied smoothly, pulling back from your touch. âWe have work to do.â
You gave him a look but didnât push further. If he wanted to be stubborn, fine. It wasnât your problem.
So, you carried on.
At least, until he collapsed.
One moment, he was beside you, the next, his hand slipped, his quill clattering to the floor, and before you could react, he was tipping forward.
âAnaxaââ
Your body moved before your mind could catch up. He was burning. The room buzzed with hushed voices, but you barely registered them as you adjusted your hold on him.
âYou idiotâ you muttered under your breath, shifting your grip.
The school nurse didnât seem particularly alarmedâapparently, scholars pushing themselves to the brink wasnât uncommon. Still, she instructed you to stay with him until he woke, citing that you were his research partner and therefore the most convenient choice.
You sighed but didnât argue. It wasnât like you were going to waste time.
Settling into the chair beside the infirmary bed, you placed your research materials on your lap. If you had to stay, you might as well be productive.
Beside you, Anaxa stirred faintly in his fevered sleep.
You shook your head, refocusing on your work.
It wasnât your problem. Right?
By the time Anaxa stirred awake, you had already finished reviewing and organizing the research data.
ââŠYou stayed?â
âThe teacher asked me toâ you replied, stretching slightly from your prolonged stillness. âLucky for you, I got everything sorted while waiting. You donât have to worry about todayâs work.â
âI see,â he muttered before sighing. âIâll make it up to you. I donât like leaving debts unpaid.â
âItâs fine. If itâs you, you wouldâve finished it without needing my help anyway.â
He huffed a small laugh at that, shaking his head slightly. âStill. Let me repay you somehow.â
You didnât bother arguing further. If Anaxa wanted to do something in return, he would, regardless of what you said.
The walk to his home was quiet, the evening air carrying a gentle chill. He insisted he was fine, but you werenât about to let him wander off after collapsing just hours ago. At least not until he was behind his own door.
When you reached his residence, you stopped at the threshold, waiting for him to step inside.
âGo restâ you instructed simply.
Anaxa leaned against the doorway, tilting his head at you with something unreadable in his gaze.
âI will,â he said. âSee you tomorrow.â
You turned, heading home without a second thought.
The moment the door shut behind him, Anaxa exhaled, letting his carefully constructed mask slip just enough for a glimmer of satisfaction to creep in.
His plan had succeeded.
A fever induced on purpose, a minor sacrifice to buy uninterrupted time with you. To measure your worth.
It had been worth every moment of discomfort.
He wasnât fully recovered yet, but that didnât matter. He felt good. Good enough to return tomorrow.
After all, there was still more to do.
The next day, Anaxa arrived in class looking perfectly fine. Or at least, thatâs what you assumed.
As you went over the next steps of your research, he sat across from you, quill in hand, but his usual sharp attentiveness was⊠lacking. His gaze drifted, unfocused, as if his thoughts were miles away.
You frowned, tapping your fingers against the table. âAnaxa.â
âYes?â
You squinted. âWere you even listening?â
His lips parted slightly as if to deny it, but judging by your unimpressed stare, he knew better than to lie.
ââŠNot entirelyâ he admitted.
You sighed, rubbing your temples. âAlright, Iâll explain it again. This time, try to keep up.â
Anaxa nodded, but as you began your explanation once more, his mind refused to cooperate.
Focus. That was all he needed to do. He was no stranger to deep concentration, to immersing himself in the pursuit of knowledge.
But right now, his mind was full of you.
The way you gestured slightly while explaining, the way your brows knitted in mild frustration, the way your lips moved with certainty,...
I should pull myself together. This research is more important. Itâs an opportunity to prove myself, to push boundaries, toâ
But then there was you. You, who sat right in front of him, completely unaware of how maddening you were.
His jaw tensed slightly. How frustrating.
By the end of the day, Anaxa had agreed with nearly everything you proposed, his input far less argumentative than usual.
You had chalked it up to discomfort. Maybe he was still feeling unwell, maybe he hadnât fully recovered from the fever, maybe he was simply tired.
But the truth was far from that.
It wasnât his discomfort that affected himâit was you.
---
Anaxa was absent the next day.
Instead, one of his acquaintances approached you between classes, delivering his message: âAnaxa said to come to his place for todayâs work.â
âThatâs it?â
âPretty much.â
To his credit, working with Anaxa was nothing short of effective.
Most groups would still be figuring out the framework of their research, yet the two of you were already halfway done.
It was almost funnyâshould you be relieved that you had been paired with one of the top scholars, or irritated that it happened to be him, your long-standing rival?
Yet, oddly enough⊠these past few days hadnât been unpleasant.
Maybe, just maybe, he was only unbearable when he was off on his own, doing things his own way. When he worked with you, the process was smooth, methodical, efficient.
After class, you made your way to his home as requested. Anaxa had the workspace neatly prepared, his focus unwavering as you both spent the evening finalizing key points. Hours passed without notice, the ticking of the clock drowned out by the steady rhythm of progress.
When you finally checked the time, you realized it was late.
You gathered your things, stretching slightly. âI should get going.â
Anaxa, who had been reviewing some notes, didnât look up immediately. âItâs late,â he said, as if that was reason enough for you to stay.
âI can handle a walk home.â
âStay the night. Itâs safer.â
You opened your mouth to argue, but thenâ
The news broadcasting on the TV got your attention.
âŠDue to unforeseen incidents, residents are strongly advised to avoid traveling at this hour. Increased security presence will remain active throughout the nightâŠ
You frowned. Perfect timing.
âIt seems you have no choice.â
âAlright, fine. Just for the night.â
âMake yourself comfortable,â he said, âIâll get you something to drink.â
You narrowed your eyes at his unusual hospitality but didnât comment. Instead, you took a slow glance around his home, properly observing the space for the first time.
It was⊠neat. Impeccably so.
Not surprising.
In the kitchen, out of your line of sight, Anaxa exhaled slowly.
He hadnât expected his plan to work this perfectly. Sure, he had anticipated a high chance of you staying if he played his cards rightâbut to have the news itself provide the final push?
Fate must have been on his side tonight.
As he prepared your drink, his mind wanderedâas it often did these daysâback to you. The way you worked seamlessly alongside him. The way you challenged him without hesitation. The way your presence had become an unshakable fixation in his thoughts, leaving no room for anything else.
It was infuriating. It was intoxicating.
This night was an opportunity. A rare chance to further deepen the dynamic between you two.
By the time he returned to the living room, his expression was composed.
You glanced at him as he handed you the drink. âThanks.â
âOf course.â
Despite the circumstances, the night carried on as usual. Research, discussions, debatesâit was a cycle you had grown accustomed to. But tonight, something felt⊠different.
Every now and then, Anaxaâs hand would graze yours when reaching for a paper. His shoulder would brush against you as he leaned over to reference something. A brief touch at your wrist when handing you a pen.
You werenât sure if it was intentional or simply a consequence of working so closely, but every time it happened, it sent a strange awareness through you.
âIâll make something to eat.â
The meal was surprisingly goodânot extravagant, but warm and filling. You finished quickly, eager to make more progress.
By the time you looked at the clock again, it was terribly late.
Too late to be working, really, but neither of you were the type to leave things unfinished.
It was only when exhaustion started creeping in that Anaxa finally spoke.
âYou should sleep.â
âYeah, I probably should. Iâll justââ
âIâll take the floor. You can have the bed.â
âThatâs unnecessary. Itâs your bed.â
âYouâre the guest.â
âThatâs notââ
âAre we really arguing about this?â
You opened your mouth, then shut it, glaring slightly at the sheer stubbornness in his tone.
In the end, you reluctantly took the bed, if only because you knew Anaxa would not let this go otherwise.
Though the bed was comfortable, sleep didnât come immediately.
You turned slightly, peeking over the edge to see Anaxa lying on a mattress on the floor. His eyes were still open, faintly illuminated by the dim light in the room.
âWe should see the professor tomorrow,â he murmured, âGet their input on our progress.â
âMm,â you hummed in acknowledgment.
âWeâve gotten further than expected. Not that I doubted it.â
Another hum.
Then silence.
He waited for you to respond again, but when nothing came, he tilted his head slightlyâonly to find you already fast asleep.
For a long moment, he simply watched.
The even rise and fall of your breathing. The way your features softened in sleep.
Thisâthis was rare.
With one last glance, he closed his eyes.
Tonight, at least, he could rest easy.
----
You shouldâve known nothing would go in your favor forever.
When you received the professorâs feedback, the document was marked with more corrections than you anticipated. Whole sections needed restructuring, some data needed refinement, and a few partsâones you were sure were solidâhad to be completely rewritten.
Your fingers tightened around the papers as you skimmed through them again. This wasnât bad per seâyou still had plenty of time to make adjustmentsâbut the sheer volume of work made your mood plummet.
Anaxa, on the other hand, remained unreadable as he flipped through the notes.
âYou look like someone just told you the world was endingâ
You shot him a glare. âForgive me for being disappointed that we basically have to rewrite half of our research.â
âWe have time. Figuring these out now is better than later.â
You sighed, pressing your fingers against your temple. He wasnât wrong. You just werenât in the mood to hear it from him.
Before you could dive back into overanalyzing the feedback, Anaxa leaned back in his seat, regarding you with a slightly tilted head.
âYou need a break.â
âWhat?â
âLetâs go somewhere else. Relax your mind.â
You gave him an incredulous look. âRelax? With someone like you?â
âWhy not?â
âYou donât exactly scream ârelaxationââ
âIâm not a machine, you know.â
Debatable.
But still, as much as you hated to admit it, maybe a distraction wouldnât be the worst idea. You had been staring at research papers for hours, and your frustration would only make it harder to focus.
ââŠFine,â you muttered, standing up. âWhere did you have in mind?â
Anaxa smirked. âThe park.â
The idea was simple: a quiet walk, fresh air, a moment away from academic stress.
The unfortunate reality?
The sky had other plans.
What started as a slight drizzle quickly turned into a full downpour.
You and Anaxa were still several minutes away from any proper shelter when the rain came crashing down. Neither of you had thought to bring an umbrella, and within moments, you were both completely soaked.
âGreat,â you muttered, shaking off excess water from your sleeves. âJust great.â
Anaxa, to his credit, seemed unbothered, running a hand through his now-drenched hair before nodding towards a nearby structureâan old, empty bus stop.
âCome on.â
You didnât hesitate, dashing under the small roof, though the wind still sent cold droplets clinging to your skin. You shivered slightly, rubbing your arms for warmth.
Anaxa glanced at you, his own clothes dripping, before casually undoing the top buttons of his soaked shirt.
You looked away. âYou couldnât have checked the weather before suggesting this?â
âOh? Now itâs my fault?â
You huffed, exasperated. âYes. Absolutely.â
Despite the misfortune, there was something almost ridiculous about the situation. Just you and your rival, stuck in a downpour, drenched to the bone, forced to wait it out together.
âHow long do you think this will last?â
Anaxa leaned against the cold metal pole of the bus stop, his eyes glinting in amusement as he smirked.
âI suppose weâll have to find out.â
The rain didnât let up for nearly half an hour.
Eventually, when the skies finally cleared, he walked you home.
You were tired, cold, and utterly done with the dayâbut what you didnât expect was that this little misadventure would come back to bite you.
You should have known.
Between being drenched in the rain and already being exhausted from research, it was inevitable. By the next morning, you were miserable.
Your body ached, your throat was scratchy, and just lifting your head felt like a monumental effort.
With no choice but to stay in bed, you barely had the energy to process the fact that someone was knocking at your door.
You dragged yourself up, shuffled to the entrance, and opened itâonly to see Anaxa standing there, holding a neatly compiled stack of papers.
ââŠI see you caught itâ he mused, stepping inside uninvited.
You groaned. âYouâthis is your fault.â
âPerhaps. But donât worryâIâll take responsibility.â
You werenât sure what he meant by that until he set down the papers, rolled up his sleeves, and immediately started doing everything in your place.
He cleaned up, cooked a warm meal, fed you, and before you could protest, tucked you into bed like it was the most natural thing in the world.
You wanted to argue. You really did.
But the warmth of the blanket, combined with exhaustion, made it impossible to resist sleep.
Somewhere in the middle of the night, you stirred.
Your fever had gone down slightly, enough for you to shift around without feeling like your limbs weighed a ton. But as you turned, you noticed something⊠off.
Anaxa was lying next to you.
For a moment, you thought you were imagining things. But noâhe was actually there, asleep beside you.
You had no memory of this happening. Did he stay to keep watch? Did he lie down and accidentally fall asleep?
You sat up carefully, intending to move him to a proper bed, butâhe was heavy.
Before you could figure out what to do, he stirred.
ââŠWhat are you doing?â
âI was going toâuh, move you.â
Anaxa exhaled softly, closing his eyes again. âToo late for that.â
ââŠFine.â
Resigned, you gave up and lay back down.
When you woke up, there was no alarm. No rush to get up.
It was a day off.
For once, you had the luxury of sleeping in.
But as you stirred, you realized something far more shocking.
Your head was resting against Anaxaâs chest.
Your mind went blank for a second before you carefully, very carefully, tried to move away.
ââŠGoing somewhere?â
Your heart nearly jumped out of your chest.
----
The next week flew by in a blur.
You and Anaxa polished your research, made the necessary revisions, and finally handed it in.
The results came back excellent. High marks. Praise from the professor. A complete success.
This meant one thing: no more group work.
You were relieved. No more Anaxa. No more of his annoyingly efficient work ethic, no more subtle brushes of contact, no more unexpected moments of domestic care.
You were fine with it.
Anaxa, however, was not.
The moment the research project ended, Anaxa felt a strange, suffocating emptiness.
No more long nights of working together. No more excuses to linger at your place. No more seeing your little expressions of focus, frustration, or amusement at his dry remarks.
It was unacceptable.
You might have been fine with moving on, but he wasnât.
Which meantâhe would have to change that.
He needed a reason for you to come back to him. A reason you couldn't ignore.
A few days later, you received an urgent message from a faculty assistant.
The professor wanted to see you.
You went to their office, only to be met with a look of concern.
"I need to speak with you about your research paper" the professor said.
"Is something wrong?"
"There's been an issue. A section of your research was flaggedâit seems there's a discrepancy in the data. Anaxa was the one who noticed it and reported it. He suggested reviewing the findings together."
A discrepancy? But that didnât make sense! You had double-checked everything. Hadnât you?
"Since you two worked on it together, Iâd like you to resolve this matter with him before we take further action," the professor continued. "He's already waiting for you in the library."
With no other choice, you left the office and made your way to the library.
When you arrived, Anaxa was already seated, flipping through your research.
"Finally here?"
You sat down, exhaling sharply. "I heard you found a mistake."
He tilted his head slightly, tapping the paper with his fingers. "Itâs subtle, but yes. A slight inconsistency. I figured we should fix it together before the professor takes further action."
You frowned, leaning over to read where he was pointing.
By the time you were finished, there were no remaining "errors" in your research. The professor thanked both of you, and that should have been the end of it.
Except it wasnât.
If anything, Anaxa had wormed his way deeper into your life.
You started noticing it in classâthe way you kept running into him more often than before.
He always sat near you now. Always seemed to already be there whenever you arrived. You just noticed the way he casually pulled out a chair beside him and glanced at you, as if it were already decided youâd sit there. The way he always had an extra copy of the dayâs notes, ready in hand before you even asked. The way he spoke about things he shouldnât know aboutâlittle details about your schedule, your habits, things you were sure you hadnât told him.
It was as if he had memorized your life without you realizing it.
One evening, you were packing up after class when Anaxa leaned against your desk.
"Youâre free this weekend, arenât you?"
"Why?"
"Because," he said smoothly, "weâre going out."
"Since when?"
"Since now," he replied. "I already planned it."
"You didn't even ask if I wanted to."
"You wouldâve said no. Iâm not giving you a choice," he added, tilting his head slightly. "Not when you spend so much time avoiding me these days."
"I donâtâ"
"You do."
"Iâve been generous so far," he murmured. "Letting things happen naturally. But I think Iâve waited long enough."
You werenât going to agree. That was your initial instinctâto push back, to tell Anaxa you had better things to do.
But he had already anticipated that.
He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice just enough to make it sound like a secret only for you.
"Come on," he murmured, "You owe me."
"For what?"
"For catching your mistake in our research. You wouldnât want an academic scandal, would you?"
"Thatâs a low move, even for you."
Anaxa just smiled, "Is it?" he said, "Or is it just a reasonable exchange?"
You scowled, but before you could say anything, he continued.
"Besides," he added, "youâve been stressed lately. I can see it."
"You barely take breaks," he continued, "Always pushing yourself, overworking, barely sleeping. Itâs a wonder you havenât collapsed yet."
"Iâm just looking out for you," he murmured. "A little outing wonât kill you."
You hesitated.
Logically, you knew he was playing you. He was twisting the situation to make you feel obligated.
But⊠was he wrong?
You sighed.
"Fine..."
----
Anaxa left the classroom that day with a sense of satisfaction coiling deep in his chest.
That was too easy.
A little pressure, a well-placed guilt trip, a carefully crafted excuseâand you caved.
You always acted so guarded, so wary. But all he had to do was find the right buttons to push.
And he did.
It was just one step closer.
One step closer to making sure youâd never pull away from him again.
It started with one mistake.
At first, you thought nothing of itâjust a lapse in focus, a careless slip. Everyone had bad days. Perhaps you had been tired, overworked, or maybe distracted. It was bound to happen.
But then it happened again.
And again.
Your academic performance began to plummet.
It made no sense. You were always meticulous, always double-checking your work. But nowânow your answers werenât what you remembered writing. Numbers and formulas were off. Essays you swore were polished came back with errors you had no recollection of making.
You frowned at your latest assignment, your hands tightening around the graded paper. A sinking feeling settled in your gut as you stared at the correctionsâmistakes that didnât feel like yours.
This⊠this wasnât just random errors.
Something was wrong.
And yet, you couldnât pinpoint what.
The frustration began to eat away at you, leaving you restless, anxious, and second-guessing yourself.
Your fingers trembled slightly as you placed your assignment on the desk in front of you. Another disappointing grade.
âYouâre overthinking again.â
You flinched slightly at the familiar voice.
âI donât get it,â you muttered, shaking your head. âI checked everything. How did I mess up?â
âMaybe youâre just tired,â he said. âYouâve been pushing yourself too hard.â
That had crossed your mind before, but⊠something still felt off.
âCan you check it for me?â
âOf courseâ
The more you struggled, the more you needed him.
At first, it was small thingsâhim offering advice, fixing your mistakes, guiding your hand. But over time, it became more than that.
He was always there, always soothing you when frustration built up. Reassuring you when doubt clouded your mind.
"You canât keep going like this," he murmured one evening, after yet another failed attempt at solving a problem. "Let me take care of it."
It was easier to rely on him.
You didnât notice at first, but others gradually became distant.
The subtle way he redirected conversations, the way your interactions with classmates grew shorter and less meaningful. Like he had woven an invisible web around youâone that no one else could penetrate.
And by the time you realized it, it was already too late.
One evening, as you sat together reviewing notes, Anaxa spoke casually.
"Everyone else is unnecessary," he said, flipping a page with ease. "Only we matter."
----
One evening, while Anaxa was out, you found his notebook.
At first, you assumed it was just another research journal. But as you flipped through the pages, your blood ran cold.
Every page was about you.
Your schedule, your habitsâthings he shouldnât have known.
What time you usually woke up. What days you skipped meals. What places you went to alone.
And thenâ How long you stared at him when you thought he wasnât looking.
Every detail was written in precise, calculated handwriting.
Your hands shook as you clutched the book, realization slamming into you like a tidal wave.
You needed to leave.
Now.
"Going somewhere?"
"IâI need toâ"
"You look pale," he interrupted, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"IâIâm fine...I justâŠ"
Before you could finish, a sharp prick bloomed against your skin.
"Youâre just exhausted. You need rest."
When you woke up, the notebook was gone.
Anaxa sat beside you, his expression calm, almost concerned.
"You were having a nightmare" he murmured, brushing a hand over your forehead.
"You were muttering in your sleep," he continued, "Tossing and turning. It must have been⊠unsettling."
The notebook. The pages. The proofâ
But there was nothing.
"Donât worry" Anaxa whispered, "It was just a dream."
Thatâs all it was.
