Nice: Hey guys! So, I know I said last time that I'd be getting back into this, but I crashed again after the last time I did any updates. I'm drawing blanks left and right. So! To refresh myself, I'm doing a big time jump here! Not super long, just a few months.

Yami: Are you saying nothing interesting happened in those months?

Nice: Some interesting things, along with small improvement in relationships. But I don't know how to write that out right now, so I'm going to summarize it with a time skip.

Yami: Cop out...

Nice: Not like I left them with a cliffhanger.

Yami: True.

Nice: Anyways, this chapter will give all the girls some love! Enjoy!

Y/n's POV

I sighed, dragging myself to my feet. Today has been long. I wiped the blood off my sword, looking at it to make sure I didn't miss any. I glanced over at the bloody corpses in the corner, looking at their dismembered bodies. I finished cleaning my blade, pulling my hood up as my face shrouded in shadowy flames. I sheathed my blade on my side, walking out of the house. I walked to the edge of the forest, looking back to see lights from the police cars that had gathered at the house. I kept going into the woods, walking through as I looked around. My feet squished slightly into the wet ground as I stepped through the forest. I walked through the woods, quickly making it to the mansion.

I opened the door, walking in and heading for the kitchen. I opened the cupboards, grabbing a bagel and closing it. I cut it in half and toasted it with my flames before putting some cream cheese on it. I fell onto the couch as I ate, sighing tiredly. After sitting around and eating for a while, I heard footsteps coming towards me. I looked at the entrance to see Jess and Jane walk in, arguing about something. They looked over at me, stopping their argument for a while to see me laid out on the couch, still stained with blood.

Jess: Oh, hey Y/n. What's with the blood? You go out killing again?

Y/n: Yeah... Dumb bitch kept screaming. My ears are still ringing.

Jane: How many today?

Y/n: 4, maybe?

Jane: Not bad.

I laid my head back, closing my eye as I let out a long sigh. I forced myself up off the couch and stretched before walking to my room.

Jess: You going somewhere?

Y/n: I need a shower...

I dragged myself up the stairs and into my room, taking off my armour before hearing a knock at the door. 

Y/n: Come in.

The door opened, showing it was Angel at the door. I cocked an eyebrow as she entered the room. She closed the door behind her and looked at me.

Angel: So, have you considered my offer?

Y/n: I thought I already said yes.

Angel puffed out her cheeks, crossing her arms as she glared at me.

Angel: Why don't you want to play hard to get?

Y/n: I don't know how to answer that.

I turned away from Angel, grabbing some clean clothes before going into the bathroom.

Y/n: You want hard to get? Don't come in until I'm done.

I closed the door, locking it and stripping. I turned on the shower and got in, watching the blood wash off my torso and hands. I moved my face into the water, closing my eye as the water rinsed the blood off my face. After washing up, I turned off the water, drying off and looking in the mirror with my towel wrapped around my waist. I looked at my eye, seeing the green wire pattern spreading onto my face away from my eye. I shook my head, fixing my hair before I stepped out of the bathroom. I saw that Angel was still there, in the same place. She looked much more pleased than when I last saw her.

Angel: Mmm~

Y/n: Angel... Get out.

Angel: You sure you want me to leave?

Y/n: Yes.

My blunt answer seemed to please Angel. I'll never understand her. She left, giving me a wink as she closed the door. I walked over, locking the door before I got dressed. Once I was done getting dressed I unlocked the door, only for it fly open. I barely saw that it was Ann before she tackled me across the room and into the bed. She straddled me as she looked down at me, inspecting me. She looked worried. This has been happening a lot more lately. Every time I got back from a hunt, she would worry over my injuries, even if there weren't any injuries to worry about.

Ann: Are you ok? I saw the blood on the doorknob.

She sounded worried too. I just smiled tiredly as I hugged her.

Y/n: I'm fine. You should know that.

Ann hugged back. We laid there for a minute before Ann got off me. We kissed before she left the room. I stayed on the bed, tired from my hunt. I looked at my hand, seeing my wires whip around slightly, glowing their usual purple. I retracted them before getting up from my bed. I grabbed my coat and threw it on as I stepped out of the room. I walked down the stairs and into the living room, jumping slightly as a kitchen knife embedded itself in the wall next to my head. I looked away from the knife buried in the wall to see Jane and Jess butting heads. Well, it actually looked more like they were fighting to the death.

It's been about six months since I got here, but this only seemed to start two months ago. Jill, between rounds of trying to sleep with me and taking me on dates, had explained that the two never got along. Seems my appearance in the mansion distracted them from each other and their feud. Unfortunately, something seems to have kicked their fighting spirits into high gear again. And I'm usually caught right in the middle.

Y/n: What are you two fighting about now?

Jane: Jess is being immature, nothing to concern yourself with Y/n.

Jess: I'm being immature!?

Y/n: Look, if you two are gonna fight, could you do it somewhere where you're not going to take off someone's head?

I pulled the knife out of the wall, laying it on the counter next to me. Jane's eyes widened as she finally looked at me, seeing the hole in the wall right next to my head.

Jane: See Jess! You could've killed Y/n!

Jess: You were throwing knives too!

The two went back to arguing, making me sigh. I decided to leave the living room before they started throwing knives at me. As I made my way to the theatre for some piano practice, I ran into Jackie and Clockwork.

Y/n: Hey you two.

Clockwork: Hey Y/n, how are you?

Y/n: Tired. I'm going to play some piano, wanna come?

Clockwork: Sure!

Jackie: Aww, but I wanted to have lunch with you!

Y/n: I'm sure we can have lunch too. 

???: Oh Y/n~!

I heard a cheerful voice call out to me from the hallway, seeing Benny walking over to us.

Benny: Wanna go for a swim~? Jill came up with a fun game we can play~

Y/n: U-Uh, I'm already a little busy...

Benny: That's fine, a midnight swim is just as good!

Clockwork: Actually, Y/n's spending the night with me.

Benny: What!?

Jackie: When did he say that?

The three girls looked at me, only to see I'd already left. I was watching through the theatre door, leaving as they all looked around confused. I sighed, sitting at the piano as I began to play. However, after just a few seconds, the door opened and Puppeteer and Slenda walked in.

Y/n: Hey.

Slenda: Hello Y/n.

Puppeteer: Hey Y/n.

I looked back down at the keys, playing my tunes while the two sat down, enjoying the song. As I kept playing, Kagekao came in without a sound, sitting with the others as I kept playing. Once I finished, I got a light clapping from the three in the seats. Standing up, I did a mock bow before heading for the door.

Puppeteer: Hey, where are you going?

Y/n: Sleep...

Before I got to the door, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Another set itself on my other shoulder as I was pulled into the chest of who I could easily tell was Slenda. She turned me around, making me look up at her.

Slenda: Are you ok?

Y/n: Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

Slenda: You look drained. When was the last time you had a good sleep?

Y/n: Well... Actually, I'm not sure.

Slenda grabbed my arm, walking me out of the theatre and down the hall. 

Y/n: Uh, Slenda? My room is that way.

Slenda didn't say anything, she just kept walking me in the wrong direction. We ended up at the door to her room, making me nervous. Before I could say anything, Slenda opened the door and walked me inside. She sat me down on the bed, sitting behind me as she put her hands on my shoulders. I was getting more and more nervous with how she was acting, making me wonder what she was going to do.

Slenda: Have you been stressed lately?

Slenda started to massage my shoulders, making me start to feel less nervous and more comfortable.

Y/n: Yeah... It's a lot tougher dealing with all the girls at once than I thought it would be.

Slenda: I suppose that's true. Have they been fighting over you?

Y/n: I don't know. They seem to get along when I'm around. Well, except Jess and Jane.

Slenda's shoulder massage made me start to feel drowsy. I felt myself start to get heavier as she kept talking.

Slenda: And is there anyone you enjoy spending time with more than the others?

Y/n: Well... N-No, not really...

Slenda: You don't have to lie, I can tell if you're telling the truth.

That's right, Slenda can read my thoughts. I forgot about that.

Y/n: Well... I guess Ann and Clockwork.

Slenda: Is that so?

Y/n: Yeah. I always feel so comfortable with Ann, and I've connected really strongly with Clockwork.

As Slenda kept talking, her soft voice eventually got through my head and I closed my eye, losing consciousness. 

Slenda's POV

While I was talking, Y/n suddenly slumped over into me. I checked his face, seeing he had fallen asleep. I brushed my hands through his hair before laying him down. I undressed him until he was just in his underwear as I undressed, getting into bed with him as I brought the blanket over us.

Slenda: Sleep well Y/n.

I held him close as I quickly fell asleep. As I slept, I had a dream. Y/n the girls and I were all relaxing on a beach, Y/n laying with me. He looked over at me with a smile, making me feel happy. However, the dream ended quickly and I found myself waking up the next morning. It seems like anytime I have a nice dream, it ends too quickly. Fortunately, I woke up to the sight of Y/n's sleeping face next to mine. I got up and got dressed, sitting down on the bed next to Y/n. As I ran my fingers through his hair, he started to stir. As he opened his eye, I noticed the green markings fade from his face slightly.

Slenda: Good morning Y/n.

Y/n yawned and got up, rubbing his eye.

Y/n: Morning.

Slenda: Feeling more rested?

Y/n: Yeah. I feel a lot better... Thanks.

Y/n smiled at me before pulling the blanket off himself. He quickly pulled it back over himself with a blush, realizing he wasn't wearing any clothes.

Y/n: U-Um... Where are my clothes?

I handed his clothes over to him, watching as he hesitated to get out of the bed. When he did, he quickly got his pants on before the rest of his clothes. He walked over to the door, stopping and taking a look back at me.

Y/n: Thanks for the help.

Slenda: Anytime.

--------------------

Nice: Hey! Thanks for reading! So, that was a chapter.

Yami: That's it? There wasn't much there.

Nice: It was just a little filler with minor set up for a 3 part mini-story that comes next.

Yami: Oh no... You're doing that?

Nice: Yes I'm doing that.

Yami: That's not fair!

Nice: I bet the reader will love it. Anyways, time to go! Signing off!
