(Rem x Reader) Re:Reader - Starting YOUR New Life in Another World

Chapter 43: Temptations

A/N: This chapter and the next will more then or less based off the "Rem's Ordinary Happy Day" WN short story that was TL'd by Remonwater, and also made its appearance into the Re: Zero manga. Its a very cute Rem story and I think it's best experienced in the WN form, and then read for the visuals in the manga form.

Chapter 43: Temptations

Setting into the room, Rem ever so quietly shut the door behind her. Making her way over to the bedside, she sat with her knees on the floor and rested her upper body on bed.

Moving the covers back just enough, Rem revealed the face of the one who held her heart.

It was earlier than normal when she'd go to wake him up, but after yesterday, she really couldn't get over the idea of seeing him all the time.

Rem wants to live up to YN-kun's expectations.

Patiently waiting for the sun to soon come over the horizon and dabble hues of pink onto the morning clouds from the horizon, Rem fawned over YN.

Once she saw the sun, she thought, she would crawl onto his bed, and wake him up as she usually did.

Feeling herself become more and more anxious, Rem could feel a heat building in her chest.

Why must the sun take its precious time?

Beginning to fidget, Rem re-adjusted which arm she laid on, slightly jostling the bed.

Feeling the movement, YN reacted. Seeing him rustle under the covers, Rem ducked down, below where she could be seen, just in case she had accidentally awoken him.

Waiting to hear him settle back down, Rem heard him begin to speak, groggily.

YN: ... R.. Re...m...

Her eyes going wide, Rem stared at the floor as she stayed crouched down, unsure of what to do next.

Again, YN spoke.

YN: Re...m...

Hearing her name once more, Rem was frozen still. Was she seen? No. But how then would he know?

YN: Rem...

Waiting more, what Rem heard next not only gave her relief, but also vast curiosity.

YN: They... they're so... soft...

Now completely sure he was dreaming, Rem's face turned a bright red, knowing that YN was dreaming of her.

Poking her head up once more, she confirmed that YN was, in fact, still sleeping.

Looking at him, Rem could see the half asleep, open mouth grin he had, obviously thoroughly enjoying whatever dream he was having.

Realizing what this meant, Rem felt her entire body become hot, her mind racing with an infinite amount of thoughts and ideas of what YN was specifically dreaming about.

Rem can't recall a time when YN-kun had expressed such a desire for her.

Having half a clue of what he was dreaming of with regards to herself, Rem had never thought of YN in the realistic sense of how they would "relate" to each other. Sure, she had her fantasies, but now that they had something "more," Rem knew the door to such relations were now open, and she'd get to see just exactly how YN would react.

Thinking over it more, Rem's mind raced more and more with thoughts like "Who would be the one to take initiative?" "What sort of things would he say?" "How would he react to things she wanted to do?"
