Platonic Self Aware!TWST boys x fem!Reader
Summary: Mc lived a very lonely life with only a game called Twisted Wonderland to be their only source of light and happiness not knowing the characters are aware that they were but game characters yet they still loved them.
Tiny rays of sunlight peaked through the windows curtains of a very run-down house.
It doesn't even look like a place a person could live in yet there is one residing in it.
Their neighbors would always talk about them, some looked at them with pity, while most of them doesn't even give a shit yet all of them never even bothered communicating with them nor trying to lend a hand after all they aren't their business after all.
The house owner would probably be the only one they commonly interact with which is mostly reminding or asking for the payment for the house.
Another would be the delivery guys that would deliver the fast food, cup noodles, and snacks that they would be ordering.
Yet the whole community rarely NO sees them come out, the last time they saw them go out was mostly would be just to take out their trash yet lately they've never come out anymore making their home an absolute mess and smelling like shit.
Nowadays they would just send a small envelope which would be delivered to the house owner containing the payment while when taking their food deliveries they would often just open the door ever so slightly and would just hand out the payment and grab the food immediately.
They were a stuck in just like a character in their favorite game but they are probably much worst than him.
Their house was a mess both inside and outside but the outside was fairly better than the inside.
With all the stacked-up manga, magazines, comics, books, and most commonly...garbage. Their house was filled with bags of chips, bottles, fast food containers, and cup noodles Everywhere!
That floor can't be seen anymore!
They couldn't bother cleaning.
Why should they?
'As if someone really cares about them...Ah, wait! There are!' That is what they thought as they quickly scavenged for their phone underneath all the pile of books and mainly trash, upon finding it they gave out a sigh of relief.
"Phew...If they were to see my mess...they would immediately scold me so damn much, haha. Now, who among them would be greeting me today!" They said as they quickly tap the logo of their favorite game.
"...I'm home!" They said as soon as the home screen came in, Azul came in and greeted them.
They squealed in delight. "OMG-AFGOGJBEJBOE AZUL!!! God, I fricking love you~! You cute little octobaby!"
Because of their constant simping, squealing, AND rolling around in the really small space left in their whole house which was their bed they never noticed anything odd and thought it was absolutely normal. Like how the characters would sometimes blush, show various emotion that wasn't even programmed, or the fact that the lines and things they would say would change.
Like simply right now Azul greeted them with the normal greeting whenever they would log in along with some other lines like "how are you my darling angelfish? You look absolutely stunning but do sleep like seriously look at that eye bags. You are starting to look exactly like an angelfish!"
"Aww! The game producers are fricking amazing at adding these lines! This isn't even an Otome game!!! BUT how did they know that I have eye bags? Mmh...maybe they assumed that most of their players have eyebags or something? Oh well...it was actually really comforting. So thank you Azul."
Little do they know from behind the screen the rest of the cast are ready to throw hands as soon as they heard it and saw that huge blush creep on the Azul's face. He is absolutely embarrassed after all a very dear friend had just complimented him!
"Great Sevens! I hate how he always wins whenever we would decide by playing Uno!" Ace complained.
"Shut up you got second place meaning on the next day you'll be the one to greet them next AND it was because you cheated!" Deuce whispered and shouted.
"Ohh, please! Then would you like to switch place with a certain pouty snake, Shishishi"
"No way! Why are you even helping him, Ruggie-senpai!"
"He promised to make me 3 boxes of donuts Oh, I'm just feeling like helping him!"
"We heard that you know...If you wanted to help him SO badly why don't you just switch with him instead."
"Mmh...maybeee NO"
"Fnayah!! Can't you all stop complaining! You all are so annoying!"
"Ohh! Look at that wittle Tanuki! He'll never have a chance to be displayed at the login, home screen, and have a card. Pfft-AHAHAHAHA! How unlucky!"
"At least they draw me far too often that they do with you all! An I am not a Tanuki!!!"
"Can't you all quite down! If you continue to do so they might find out and delete us like our other version." Riddle scolded them.
"The English ones?"
"Yes, the English ones! Who else?!"
"They got caught and were deleted!" They all shouted.
"Well, they didn't get caught their phone storage is full, and can't download more data for our upgrades. Soooo they got yeeted. #Eng twst got yeeted so we could get updated lmao." Cater wheezed a bit at the fact that they finally won the rivalry! though he WILL miss the eng Cater oh well as long as they have Mc and they don't need to share them with their other version.
Their day continued with lessons, vignettes, exams, events, and the main story which was Idia's time to get therapy.
They did their best to impress Mc and surprise them more! And of course, they would constantly change some of their lines and tried to communicate with Mc yet today was another day they would confide to them about their life although they aren't the ones on their home screen they could hear and see everything.
Which is something that Mc continuously ignores.
After staring for a long time at their screen mc paused for a while and slumped in their bed, their phone on top of their chest.
"Sigh. You know, you guys are my only friends and family. I wonder so many times if you could actually hear me and see me which would make sense but is also very silly. If I had a chance to make a wish it would be for you guys to be real. I felt so connected to all of you yet at the same time I am not." They said with a sad chuckle.
"Today is actually my mother's birthday yet I have nothing to offer to her. I'm too afraid to contact her along with the others that are very dear to me because... I am too afraid they might see me as a disappointment, I was an only child... so my dad is a very strict man and expected me to become a doctor/engineer/lawyer for success and stuff like that...and here am I living a shitty life jobless, a full-time freelance artist because I ain't listening to him, and the only thing keeping me sane is none other than you guys! All of you meant so so much to me...Thank you so much."They said as they wiped the tears they are shedding.
In a few minutes, they soon fell asleep with their phone still in their hand.
They stared at them sadly as they wish they could hug them right now all they could do was listen to their rant and chat with her a bit without being too suspicious.
"Do not fret child of man. We will soon find a way to either bring you here or bring us to you."
"YEAH! Then we could do many things together!!" Epel said excitedly.
"But of course, first of all, we are going to fix their trash like a house then help her regain their health and do a lot of skincare to fix their skin and train them to become a much decent man/woman." Vil stated.
"Oui Oui~ Mon Chéri! We will soon reunite and make a multitude of memories together!"
Every single day was similar to the last one yet Mc was starting to log in less they tried to figure out why, so Idia hacked into their phone and devices, and found out why. They were lacking finances and were finding ways to earn for their living expenses.
They were really concerned for them yet He/she still continue to log in even in the middle of the night, that they only have 5 hours of sleep A DAY! They had no sleep!
The NRC boys along with the staff tried reminding them, calling it out. But day by day it goes terrible to worst to so much more worst!
They aren't even eating anymore! Not just a day or two! It started with them eating only thrice a week then once, then thrice a month! and it continues to worsen so much more!
The boys couldn't do a thing! Warning or reminding them was of no use! Which leads them to work harder in finding a way to connect to their world. They didn't even notice that they've been logging in lesser and lesser till it came to a point that they didn't for a whole 2 months straight...
"What is happening! They haven't logged in for 2 months! Jamil what do we do! What do we do! Are we going to get deleted like our other selves?!!" Kalim frantically said.
"Calm down Kalim! I'm sure they won't...They must be too busy."
"Idia, did you finally find a way to hack their camera even if the device is turned off?" Lilia asked.
"I-I will soon! Ortho and I are looking through it but we did find out that their phone has a 90% battery charge which means it could possibly be on shut down but we are almost close to turning it on!" He reassured eyes remained glued on his PC as he tries to hack their Mc's device.
"WHY DID THE HUMAN TURN THEIR PHONE ON 'SHUT DOWN'! DO THEY NOT KNOW HOW MUCH THEY'RE AFFECTING WAKA-SAMA!"
"Sebek please tone down...And please stop lying I know full well that you are definitely worried about them much more worried than for Malleus-sama."
"I-"
After 30 mins Idia jumped with joy as he ran carrying his tablet to the screen of Mc's phone!
"Finally I got it!!!"
"You did!" They all shouted as they scrambled to Idia which made him uncomfortable but tried to remain calm since it was for their Mc after all.
"It should open for about 5 mins." He said with a proud grin.
After 5 mins the screen lit up as they all celebrated.
"IT TURNED ON!!!"
They all brace themselves as Idia started unlocking Mc's phone and opening their app. So they could finally greet their Mc.
Yet they could not see them...
"Ehh!! Shrimpy's phone must have been under their pile of garbage again!" Floyd complained.
"Now now Floyd. Calm down."
"Sigh. Their home is a big trashbin far more worst than Savanahclaw's dorm, I wish I could go there and clean their mess so this won't happen again!"
"Wtf. did you say you shitty ass herbivore!"
"Maybe I could use a little magic and teleport it to the stand near their bed. " Malleus suggested.
"If you can do that why can't you just clean their whole room up!"
"If Malleus did wouldn't Mc feel spooked? They live in seclusion after all who would clean their house? They might live in paranoia later on." Lilia commented.
"Not the time to argue about Mc's trashy room, Malleus-san just proceed with teleporting the device."
They all agreed as they watch in excitement as Malleus teleport the device to their Mc's bed.
They all readied to cheer Mc up once again!
But what they saw would forever haunt them as the sight made them shiver down to their bones.
"That-that can't be..." Kalim said as he lost the strength to keep his body in place, sitting on the floor eyes still glued to the screen.
"That...That is not my henchman! It can't be! NO! They do not look like that! They-they do NOT look like some lump of flesh with their bones out! Nor do they have those pests!" Grim shouted as he tried his best to control his tears from falling...
All of them could not take their eyes off the screen looking at other rotting flesh of their companion. Even Jamil who despises insects so damn much couldn't help but stare emptily...
"How can this happen..." Riddle asked as he leaned his body to Tre for support.
"They...presumably died because of starvation." Jade responded with a straight face though he could not hide the crack in his voice which was very uncharacteristic of him yet it was reasonable...
What seemed to be left of their dear friend's body was a skeleton with only clumps of flesh left with lots of red bloats on the decaying flesh while dark black and greenish body fluid stains their beddings even on their walls and windows tiny dots of body fluid and fat scattered there courtesy to the flies.
Tons of maggots, cockroaches, beetles, spiders, ants, flies, and so much more... are seen all over the corpse there were even eggs of those pests on the body and probably all across the room...
Proving that they must have died about a month ago...
What concerns and hurts them, even more, is the fact no one has yet to discover the girl's/man's body. No one noticed the putrid smell from their place nor did they even bother to check on the...
Their mother, father, neighbors...none!
They all couldn't help but cry, some hid it either by looking back, covering their face or was looking down letting their hair cover their face as tears falls down on the floor, some of them were sprawled on the floor wailing and shouting as some others hug them near as they cried all together, the staff soon came upon hearing the commotion occurring in the main screen and saw the reason why those students filled with pride cried and wailed sorrowfully.
They couldn't help but steel themselves, they were the adults, after all, they shouldn't be a bad example and cry in front of their students who were in too much shock and pain. Their tears would have to wait till they reach their respective rooms where no eyes will lay upon them and see them weak and defenseless.
They ushered the students back to their dorms and called it a day. no classes for possibly a week to mourn their loss.
The terrible news reached up to RSA too, they too mourn for the loss of a person they consider their friend.
The boys were all out of character, Ramshackle was a mess, Grim tried to burn down everything since everything in that run-down dorm reminded him so much of the dead...
All of 7 dorms none of those who'd witnessed the body of their friend and companion.
None of them could work and do what they would normally do while some of them worsen so much more like Idia, he wouldn't dare step out of his room anymore, and would constantly check on the body to confirm if Mc was...you know dead and if it has finally been discovered; Another example would be Leona and Vil both who would always remain somewhat composed would burst out crying and shouting in their room and would practically destroy everything they grabbed on; Another would be the Octavinelle trio, Monstro Lounge rarely ever opens and if they do it would only be for a short amount of time since none of them are fit to work; Even Diasomania took a very huge blow and would constantly suffer from a very heavy thunderstorm.
It took 6 more months for the skeleton to be discovered through the phone of Mc was already dead, but Idia was still able to hack through the cameras to watch their friend after all it was the only thing they could do for him/her.
The community's reaction to the body is either pity for the unfortunate death of a very lonely man/woman, whilst some had a look that expected it to happen and doesn't even care much, the only thing they cared is to dispose of it and be able to sell the home AGAIN.
At least the cleaners have a heart! They at least offered a prayer and respected them as they clean the whole place.
Some of the valuable items of Mc along with the phone they're at were brought to their family along with some photo albums & pictures. The family was in shock but accepted the fact that Mc was dead so in a few days, they cremated the body of their son/daughter and buried it while keeping a few in a small jar they hid along with their belongings.
They stared at the tiny jar kept beside, fully accepting their fate that...Mc would never come back and that they would never be opened once again and be able to spend time with the friend that gave them a purpose and loved them.
As they thought something remained echoing among their minds...
...Was this punishment for breaking the system? Because of simply discovering that Yuu was not actually the one helping them but a lonely yet charming girl/boy finding comfort in the game that gave them life... And all they ever wanted was to repay the friend that accepted them for who they are by breaking some rules to make them smile, lessen their burdens, and make them feel that they are worth something and they have a home, people waiting for them to show up even if it is in a fictional game. Ah..., The world is really such a cruel place & life is so cursed...
Fin...
