My Yandere Harem Doesn't Accept No-Chapter 20: Academy

Lyan slowly began to open his eyes.

Sunlight filtered in through one of the apartment windows, soft and warm.

It took a few seconds for his vision to fully focus, remembering what had happened the night before.

He was still lying on the cold floor, but the warmth he felt in his chest was something else.

Solène was still curled up against him, completely naked, just like him. Only a couple of T-shirts and her shorts covered them halfway.

She had a faint smile on her lips even while asleep, her hair messy across Lyan’s face.

He looked at her in silence, carefully lifting a hand to stroke her hair, brushing a strand away from her forehead.

Once again, the memories of the night before rushed into his mind, the sounds she made, the way she looked at him, and the warmth of her skin... everything had been intense, real... too real.

’I wish this were real and not just a... game.’ he thought, a faint melancholic feeling tightening his chest.

Solène shifted slightly against him, slowly opening her eyes. She looked at him first, still a bit sleepy, but then leaned in and gave him a slow kiss on the lips. It was soft and warm.

"What happened last night was incredible..." she whispered against his mouth, her voice slightly hoarse from sleep.

Lyan smiled faintly, feeling his heart beat faster.

At that moment, Reid began to move on the couch, turning his face toward them, still half asleep.

He opened his eyes and froze, processing the image in front of him... the two of them on the floor, naked and only covered by scattered clothes while Solène comfortably curled up against Lyan.

Reid blinked a couple of times, and suddenly he understood everything.

He jolted upright, sitting on the couch. The movement made him a little dizzy, which he completely ignored as he stared at both of them with wide eyes.

Lyan and Solène glanced at him from the corner of their eyes.

Instead of feeling embarrassed, she snuggled even closer against Lyan’s chest, as if nothing was wrong. Lyan, on the other hand, felt his face burn with embarrassment.

Reid stayed silent for a second, then placed both hands behind his head and opened his mouth in surprise.

"You two?!" he asked in shock.

Then a teasing smile appeared on his face.

"About time!" he said, laughing. "You finally used that third leg."

Lyan turned even redder, making Solène let out a playful laugh as she raised her hand and placed a finger on his lips to stop him from responding.

"The nickname ’three legs’ suits you perfectly." she said in a teasing tone, looking into his eyes.

That only made Lyan blush more and Reid burst out laughing loudly, leaning back against the couch again.

The three of them eventually got up and, between laughter and silly comments, began cleaning the room, gathering the empty cans and fast food boxes along with the T-shirts scattered everywhere.

While cleaning, they prepared a quick breakfast with whatever they had in the room, like coffee with cookies or some fruit.

The three of them sat on the couch, agreeing to go to the academy together; apparently, none of them felt like separating just yet.

Before leaving, Lyan saw the system screen appear beside him with a message.

[Reminder: Go to the library during break. Pending objective.]

Lyan read the message without saying anything.

Just as they were about to leave, Reid looked around. "Has anyone seen my jacket?"

Solène nodded toward the wall.

"You left it hanging over the painting."

Lyan, who was nearby, grabbed the jacket and handed it to him, revealing the abstract painting that had been covered all night.

Without further delay, the three of them headed out toward the academy with the backpacks they had brought the night before.

They walked under the morning sun. The air was fresh, something they needed to completely shake off the hangover.

It didn’t take Reid even two blocks before he started joking.

"So... was it just on the floor? Or all over the apartment?" he asked with a huge grin.

Wanting to avoid the question, Lyan turned it back on him. "You never told me you were such a ladies’ man at the academy."

Reid laughed and shrugged.

"Real men have secrets." he said, closing his eyes and lifting his face toward the sun shining directly on him. "It’s part of the charm."

Both Lyan and Solène made the same "okay..." face at the same time.

A little further ahead, Reid draped an arm over Lyan’s shoulders and pulled him closer, lowering his voice so only he could hear.

"Tell me the truth... how did it feel?"

Lyan looked at him, confused. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"What do you mean?"

Reid gestured with his eyes toward Solène, who was walking a few steps ahead, being careful not to let her notice.

"I mean the sex with her... how was it?"

Lyan looked at Solène for a moment and then turned his gaze back to his friend, taking a deep breath and answering honestly.

"Incredible..." he whispered.

Reid lit up instantly, giving him several hard pats on the back while laughing.

"That’s my boy!" he said proudly, almost shouting.

Solène turned her head and looked at them with a raised eyebrow, but didn’t ask anything. She just smiled to the side and kept walking.

Lyan shook his head, still with slightly flushed cheeks, but with a smile he couldn’t hide.

The three of them kept walking together toward the academy, chatting about nonsense, the sun warming their backs and the day just beginning.

’...’

Lyan smiled again; this was everything he had always wanted... real friends to spend time with and joke around.

He glanced at both of them, who were walking with smiles on their faces, then turned his attention forward again, waiting for what the mission would give him.

’I wonder which of the five it will be...’
