Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
*Tips toes back into the request box* Hey! It's me again, I got another yandere!Garou idea, what if he had a childhood friend who was always there for him and defended him from bullies and he fell in love with them and he confessed but his crush tried to reject him in a nice way and he just snaps.I'm so sorry that i keep requesting yandere!Garou content but I really love how you write him and portray him (and because I'm a simp for him too),
*GIF not mine*
Summary: The monster never gets the girl, but why not? Garou never knew, but what he did know was that that was about to change. He was getting the girl… getting you, whether you want him or not.
A/N: *Almost passes out writing this at 2 am* Ehh, I really wish this one could have been better, but I already procrastinated enough on it. Sorry it took so long, and I really hope it fits what you wanted. This idea was great, and I only wish I had a better time writing for it. But anyways, in all honesty, I hope you like it!

“Haha, look at the monster cry!”
“Beat him up, he’s evil!”
“Take him out, hero! Take out the villain!”
The calls were all the same. Every game, they would cheer as Tacchan stood over him, kicking him and hitting him with the nearest stick.
“Take that, monster! And that!”
Why? What did I do? What made me the villain?
“Stop hurting him!”
The pain stops as Tacchan is shoved away. A girl-- you-- kneels next to him, surveying him for bruises or other wounds as he stays curled up on his side.
“Why are you defending him, YN? He’s not the hero. He’s just the dumb monster.”
You fix a fierce glare on the school’s pretty boy, keeping a comforting hand on Garou’s shoulder as you speak. “You know, heroes lose too sometimes.”
Those words… someone finally understood. Someone finally believed in what he believed, was willing to fight for what he was willing to fight for. You stood up for him. You stood up for the monster.
It was those words that left Garou falling for you. Addicted to you.
~~~
Why couldn’t the monsters ever win? Why couldn’t they defeat the hero or succeed in their plans?
Why couldn’t the monster ever get the girl?
Garou never knew why, but one thing he did know was that, looking at you, he was going to change that.
I’m getting the girl.
“I’m just saying I think you’re overreacting.”
“Pshh, says you!” You shove him away and stick out your tongue. “Where finals are concerned, your opinion is irrelevant. You dropped out; therefore, I get to bitch about finals all I want!”
The pair of you walked side by side down the street. Once in a while, your hands would brush at the proximity, and Garou did all he could to resist intertwining your fingers with his own.
Be patient.
“Well, maybe you should try actually studying instead of watching anime.”
“Maybe you should shut up.”
He only grinned as you pouted, continuing down the street at what must’ve been ten at night. Both of you had just left the cinema after a particularly disappointing horror movie. Garou had vetoed the other options, which consisted of two superhero movies, one documentary, and three cheesy chick flicks. He had hoped that you would duck into his shoulder at any jumpscares, but the movie had been dreadfully bare of any actual horror.
Through the glowing streets of City S, you guided Garou back to your apartment building, leading him up the steps and to your door.
“Shit, it was freaking freezing out there!” Your hands tremble as you try to unlock the door. After the key finally wiggles its way into the lock, you let out a noise of relief before leading him inside. “Why don’t you stay here and warm up before going back to- oh where was it you said you were staying again? A lovely three-story mansion with a backyard hot tub?”
Scoffing, Garou observes as you toss your coat aside on the kitchen table and collapse onto the couch. “I’ll have you know my shack is actually quite warm compared to the outside.”
You hum, unimpressed as he settles down on the cushion beside you and lays an arm out directly behind your head. “Yeah, sure. Because fifty degrees is always considered warmer when compared to forty-nine.”
“Exactly,” he nods, smirking at the laugh it drags out of you. A comfortable silence falls over your living room as you lean your head back on Garou’s arm. You were always so comfortable and accepting of him. You thought the same way he did, always considering the villain’s feelings along with the hero. You shared his sense of humor, his adoration for children, and his deep devotion to your guys’s friendship.
Truly, Garou believed there was no way you didn’t feel the same. Every hug and kiss on the cheek you gave him assured him so. He just had to tell you.
If he confessed first, he knew you would feel confident enough to say the same.
“Garou.” All too suddenly, he’s dragged out of his thoughts of you by you yourself. He doesn’t mind, though; listening to your voice was a million times better than imagining it in his head. One too many times had it not been enough when he sat in his hideout, imagining you lounging around and planning out his next hero attack by his side.
Your hand stretches over his lap to grasp his own as you sit up and turn to him, one leg folded while the other hangs off the couch. “Honestly, I really think you should stay here tonight.”
No, he would never refuse that. Not in a million years. You wanted him here. This time, you invited him to stay in your home.
It was much better than when he used to settle for intruding while you slept, crawling into bed beside you and watching you slumber long before the sun rose. It was always harder to leave than it was to enter.
“YN…”
“I know, I know, but I hate to see how you’re living right now.” You tear your gaze away from his intense one and shake your head. “My spare room is always open.”
No, no, that’s not what he wanted.
“It’s got a mattress and everything. It’s gotta be better than the bale of hay you settle for.”
“I don’t sleep on a bale of hay!”
You raise a brow and he rolls his eyes, grumbling his response. “It’s not as uncomfortable as you think.”
“C’mon Garou, you need this. And honestly, I don’t mind you staying here! I promise.”
That wasn’t his issue. Of course, he wanted to stay here too, but for different reasons. You wanted to keep him inside and safe like a friend should.
He wanted to sleep on your bed and hold you in his arms. He wanted to wake you with breakfast in the morning, kiss you before you left for school, greet you and help you with homework when you returned.
He wanted to make love to you on the counter, in the shower, on the sofa you both sat on right now.
No longer could he stand this platonic bullshit anymore, and he knew you felt the same.
I’m getting the girl.
“I’d be a shitty friend if I didn’t let you stay here for at least tonight-”
“Why don’t we both sleep in your bed then?”
Garou finally shifts his body to face yours, mirroring your position and pulling the arm off the back of your couch to drop it into your lap. His fingers splay out along your thigh but you don’t bother to stop the movements.
Jaw dropped, you stare at Garou in shock. “W-What?!”
“You heard me.”
“Yeah, I heard you, but I don’t think I did it too good.”
“Then I’ll repeat myself.” Garou leans closer, face just inches from your own as he whispers, “Why don’t we sleep in the same bed for the night?”
Never before had you seen the look in his eyes. With enlarged pupils forcing away their natural yellow, they practically glow with desire as he leers over you. Part of you wants to lean back, but you just keep thinking no, this is Garou, my friend. He’s just teasing.
“Very funny, Garou,” you snort, placing two hands on his solid chest to push him away, but you gulp when he doesn’t budge.
“It wasn’t a joke, YN.”
God, he was so close you could feel yourself sweating under his gaze. He was too close; his body was too hot. Slipping away from his long fingers, you stand up and stumble into the kitchen. A glass of water, that’s what you needed to clear your head.
Rage floods Garou’s chest at the aversion and he doesn’t hesitate to follow you. “YN-”
You hold up a finger to pause him while you swallow glass after glass of water, hoping and begging that this was just a joke. Surely he wasn’t serious, right?
After your fifth glass, Garou huffs out in irritation and snatches the water away from your lips, slamming it to the table before folding his arms. “YN.”
“Garou.”
That look in her eyes, it can’t be fear. No, no she loves you just as much as you love her. She’s just shy.
“YN, I’m in love with you.” His cheeks almost burn at the confession, but he continues. “I have been since the day we met, when you stood up for me.”
Guilt floods your features before you turn your head, hugging yourself for comfort. “Garou, I don’t… I don’t know what to say.”
“Just tell me the truth. Tell me you feel the same, YN, because I know there’s no way you don’t.”
“But Garou-”
“Just say you love me, YN, and we can finally be together like we should be.” When he takes a step closer, you take one back, and that’s when the love and hope in his eyes crumbles.
“Garou, I’m sorry. I do, a-and I will always love you-”
“Then why-”
“-as my best friend.”
Cracks fill his chest as the words settle in his stomach like a rock. His heart twinges at the words as they echo in his ears.
A friend? That’s all he was to you? A FRIEND?!
“Take it back, YN.” His head has dropped, shaking back and forth incessantly as he mumbles the words. “Take it back.”
“Garou, I’m so sorry.”
Crash.
You flinch at the sight, watching water drip down your walls as broken glass falls to the floor. A chair at your kitchen table gets kicked into the wall as well, splintering off a wooden leg and leaving a hole in the paneling.
A scream rips its way out of your throat when Garou picks up your table, throwing it in the same direction and not even flinching when it breaks into flying pieces. Fear holds your heart tightly in it’s grasp as he approaches you, face scrunched up in fury.
“Why, YN?” The words are spat with disdain. “Why won’t you just admit you love me back? What’s stopping you?”
You whimper and back away slowly, scared to anger the beast more. Too bad the damage had already been done. Garou kicks a dent into your fridge, allowing the cold air to hiss out and fill the now-dusty room.
“Garou, please!” “I won’t use you, YN! I won’t cheat on you, or go behind your back! I love you and only you!”
“Garou!” Fearful tears slide down your face after you run into the counter, completely and utterly helpless. You feel trapped in your own home.
“And I won’t hurt you…” he trails off, ignoring your flinching as he looms closer, “...not unless I have to.”
“Please, just stop!” Your emotions are at an all-time high as you frantically draw in breaths, filling your lungs as fast as you can when this monster approaches. “I’m sorry!”
The more you speak, it seems, the more furious Garou becomes. While you slump to the cold floor of your kitchen, he turns your house into a war zone.
His voice, heightened with pain, never stops talking as he trashes your house, punching holes in the walls and chucking furniture everywhere.
“Why YN?!”
“Why don’t you love me?!”
“You’re mine!”
“I’m not letting you go!”
“I’ll make you love me, I don’t care what I have to do. You will love me.”
Even after ducking your head into your knees and plugging your ears, you couldn’t block out the shouts, the crashes, the tornado that was Garou ripping through your house and destroying everything you owned.
“You don’t love me?” he scoffed, running his bloody hands through his hair and shaking his head. “She doesn’t love me, she doesn’t love me, she doesn’t love me.”
When he returns to the kitchen to see you, he can’t help but crumple to the ground.
Your face is tucked between your legs and your body visibly trembles on the floor. Garou bites into his lip at the sight, rage wilting into despair as he kneels in front of you.
“I can fix this,” he shakes his head. “I will, I promise.” Without a second thought, he nudges your hands away from your ears before dropping his head to your shoulder and letting out a shaky sigh.
Tears soak through your shirt for all the wrong reasons, but you can’t get away. By now, he’s pressed your forehead against his chest and wiggled his way between your knees, mumbling words you assume he thinks are reassuring as he runs his lips up and down your neck.
“I can fix this, YN. I’m not gonna lose you. I swear, I’m not letting you go ever again.”
Before you can do anything to get away, he’s rising to his feet and taking you with him.
Your arms instinctually wrap around his neck so you don’t fall back, bile crawling up your throat when he smiles and hums in approval against your skin. “Good girl.”
By force, your legs are wrapped around his waist by his hands, now settled below your thighs as he squeezes the flesh appreciatively. “Yes, YN, let’s get out of here. I’ll fix all of this, just let me get us out of here and then we can discuss this.”
~~~
Garou got the girl. The monster finally won.
He couldn’t fight the grin off his face as he held you tighter, brushing the hair out of your eyes as you slept without a care.
The gentle touch woke you from your pleasant dream, leaving you forced to confront the nightmare that was reality.
“Morning Angel.” A kiss to your forehead left your skin crawling.
“Garou… please-”
“Ah, ah, ah, none of that today. I don’t want to have to gag you again.” His finger booped your nose as if he had just teased you with a toy. The horribly familiar grip on your waist was just as bruising as it was yesterday, and the day before, but it was still a pleasant exchange for the shackles that had kept you in place for the first two weeks you were in Garou’s hideout. The gag had stayed on your face for the same amount of time, but even the memory made your heart seize.
“You’re a monster.”
God, he actually smiled at that.
“Oh, I know, Angel. And soon, you’ll love me for it.” He pauses only to hug you closer. “Just like you used to.”
