It’s Just A Game! (Part Two)
Pairing: Inoo/Reader/Yamada
A/N: I’m so glad to see the support for the first part of this series! I wasn’t so sure about it in the beginning. Thank you all so much and I hope you enjoy!
P.S. This is mostly a filler chapter… Uhh just establishing the things between Yamada and Inoo. Next part will have more content I hope. Lots of love <3
“And so… He’s trapped in a game?” Yama frowned, chewing the end of one of my pens.
“Basically.” I said, snatching the pen from him, looking at it with disgust and tossing it back at him.
“That’s weird. I’d say I don’t believe you but you don’t have a reason to lie about this. And the email you showed seems legit, strangely enough.” Yama shrugged, chewing on the pen again.
“Exactly. And so, I accepted the request.” I nodded.
The two of us were in my room, sitting on the bed as I told him about the events that spiraled into my life.
“You’re going to get Little Prince Inoo Kei to fall in love with you?” He raised an eyebrow. ”That’s so not like you! Don’t tell me you secretly admire him!” He pointed at me, accusing me of some sort of blasphemy. I waved him off.
“Don’t be silly. I’m sure there’s another way! It’ll like all games I’ve played after all. He won’t actually fall in love with me. I just have to make the right choices for the right ending… ” I trailed off, eyes widening.
“What?” Yamada looked around, confused and concerned.
“What if there’s a bad ending!?” I screeched. Yamada sighed.
“I’m sure the bad ending is he doesn’t fall in love with you and the game is sent somewhere else for testing.” Yamada sighed.
He stood up and stretched, eyeing the game console that was plugged in to my PC.
“Is that the VR crap?” He asked, examining it.
“Can I play the game? I wanna see Inoo.” Yamada grinned. I rolled my eyes.
“You’re abusing your privileges. But fine, get in there, and tell him about the email and stuff. Don’t tell him how to get him out though. I don’t want him to start getting defensive from the start.” I started the program and adjusted the helmet to fit Yama’s big head.
While Yamada acted out his strange desires, I decided to look up more about the game, and about the producers.
Doki Doki Gakuen: VR, is a remake of one of our favorite games, made into virtual reality. The goal of this game is to provide girls (and boys) an accurate simulation of what real love is like. From being in able to characterize all your love interests into your ideal type, to tweaking their personality to fit one that you want, it’s a game that we guarantee you will make your heart beat.
I groaned. It didn’t provide me any answers at all. “Ughh…” I hear Yama groan from the chair.
“You back?” I asked, walking over.
“Yupp I am.” He pulled off the helmet, blinking a few time to get used to the scenery again.
“What did Inoo say when he saw you?” I questioned him.
“He didn’t see me, he saw you. The character looks like you remember?” He shrugged.
I paused. Going once. Going twice.
“AAAAAAAA!” I screamed, realizing that. Yamada was taken aback.
“Holy shit calm down darling! I told him it was me don’t worry!” Yamada freaked, calming me down.
“Right right.” I calmed down, sighing.
“What did he say?” I asked, sitting back down on the bed and grabbing a pillow and hugging it.
“Thank goodness you’re back (y/n)- and then I cut him off and explained everything. He didn’t say much after that.*
“That’s it? That’s odd, usually he’s more.. Vocal about things.” I cracked a toothy grin.
“Like in bed?” Ryosuke snickered and my smile fell into a frown as I smacked him lightly.
“Gross!” I made a face, but also felt hot thinking about Inoo in bed.
“You like the thought!” Yamada gasped watching as my face grew redder.
“I do not. Now shoo, I’m gonna go play games.” I waved him off, trying to hold back my face from going tomato red.
“Say hi to dear Inoo-chan for me!” Yamada snickered as I pushed him off my bed, letting him out my room. I cupped my warm face and took a deep breath before sitting at my computer and putting on the goggles. It’s virtual reality time.
“Hey Inoo-” I was cut off immediately as the mushroom-haired boy sent a look in my direction.
“Is this really (y/n)?” He came closer suspicious.
“Uh yes.” I answered, stepping away from the uncomfortably close proximity we were in.
“Okay.” He nodded, leaning back.
“You believed me that easily?” I grinned. He shrugged.
“No one else is that bad at maneuvering the protagonist. It looks like your one arm is spazzing out.” Inoo laughed. I looked down to see that indeed my right arm was not functioning properly. So I took off my goggles and saw that one of the cables were lodged between two thick textbook. I freed the cable and put the goggles back on.
“Better?” I asked. He nodded nonchalantly.
“Did you get that email?” Inoo asked, walking away as if to start a conversation while waking. I made a face and hurried after him, falling into step with his pace.
“I did.” I answered, wondering why his actions seemed so otome game-esque. He nodded.
“So you know how to get me out of here?” He turned to me, eyes gazing. Gosh he’s such a pretty boy. I couldn’t tell him how to get him out if the game, because that would be so awkward.
“Well, sort of. There were hints, that’s all. The main hint was just play through the game.” I said. An objective popped up in my vision that said GET A FIVE STAR RATING ON A DATE AT THE CAFE.
“Hey there’s a Cafe… Over there… Let’s go sit down and talk?” I said, stumbling over my words. Very smooth (y/n), very smooth. I inwardly groaned. Inoo shrugged.
“Why not. It’s a pretty nice place, considering this is virtual reality and stuff.” He stated, walking with me to the small building. We walked in and a programmed woman greeted us and led us to a table. And as soon as we ordered drinks we started talking. By some magical event, we instantly clicked. It was slow but, the conversation began to flow perfectly.
“Did you see what Mrs. Harrison wore last week? It was horrible! And she dress coded me for wearing a jacket with ‘too many colors’ on it!” Inoo exclaimed, mimicking the voice of our teacher. I laughed hysterically, nodding.
“I saw it! I didn’t know that wearing all red could look so tacky until then!” I giggled, taking a sip of my coffee. He shook his head as the laughter died down.
OBJECTIVE COMPLETE. Five stars flashed in my visor. I smiled before glancing at the time.
“It’s getting late wow. I should head back… To the umm… Real world…” I blushed, embarrassed at how I worded that sentence. Inoo sighed waving his hand.
“I get it. I’ll just go back home. My house in this game is pretty fucking sweet if I’m being honest.” He smiled, though I could see a hint of sadness in it.
“I’ll be back soon. I’ll get you out of this game. I promise.” I nodded determined, pumping my fist. He pumped his fist back, mocking me slightly.
“See you, (y/n).” He gave me a large grin.
And with that I left the game, somehow even more in love with Inoo Kei.
“Shit.” I cursed as I pulled off the VR goggles, breathless. I stared at the machinery longingly, wanting to just stay there, talking to him. My heart throbbed. Am I seriously in love with him? Is this more than just me being infatuated by his good looks and adorable smile? I shook my head, the thoughts running through it.
“I need to talk to Yama.” I sighed, and pulled out my phone, where I had one missed message, from my dearest best friend.
-Heyyyyyyy (y/n) I was just wondering but could you figure out if u can screw someone in virtual reality? Because hey, I wouldn’t mind giving it a go if u really can.
He is disgusting. How does anyone see anything in him?
-I love u too. Welcome back! How was ur date with mushroom boy- I mean Inoo?
-Great thanks. Better than this conversation we’re having
-We still going out to our weekly ice cream outings tomorrow?
-u bet we will. Some quality best friend time gurl.
-we should try that new place too!
-never use the word gurl again.
-sounds great. See you tomorrow loser
I signed off after receiving a multitude of individual messages from Yama that all consisted only of the word “gurl”. I couldn’t help but groan. He is by far the most infuriating person is the world. I sighed and got ready to go to bed, ready for a brand new day. The day where I get ice cream with Yamada Ryosuke, the most infuriating person in the entire world. And hopefully another day with… Inoo Kei.
