Context: A company party is taking place out in the snowy countryside, fairly close to your winter cabin. You've shown up and are making polite chatter when a young man asks to speak with you in private. You know he's a newbie and has a reputation for being shy. What on Earth could he want to talk to you about?

Setting: Snowy countryside/your cabin

[Scene opens in a snowy forest]

[SFX: Crunching footsteps - a chase]

[You sprint across the eerily quiet forest, boots crunching against the snow. The man chasing you pants, gaining on you every second with an ax in his hands]

“DARLING! Darling…! Stop running, stop stop stop STOP! How could you reject me?! I’d been planning our little meeting tonight for over a YEAR, and you dare to scream when I embrace you?! You DARE to push me away when I desperately tried to kiss you after my confession?! Hmmm?! Stop running and talk to me like a civil FUCKING ADULT!”

[Pause!]

[He laughs maniacally and his speed only seems to increase]

“You aren’t going to reach your little cabin before I get you, baby! You know I don’t WANT to hurt you, but I’m going to have to cut off those cute feet of yours so we can open a goddamned dialogue! Just stop running! STOP RUNNING!”

[Pause]

[His footsteps coming closer]

“Baby, I am RIGHT behind you! If I swing this ax once, it’s gonna hurt a lot! Remember when you fell at work and broke your ankle, sweetie? How bad it hurt? Well, this is going to hurt a HELL OF A LOT WOR-!”

[SFX: A crack and a loud snap]

[He cries out as his foot stomps through a hollow bit of snow and he’s flung forward, the ax sliding away]

“Guh! A-Agh… F-Fuck… fuck, m-my head…”

[You give a tentative look to him as you grab the ax. His head is bleeding and his ankle isn’t bent at the best angle]

[...Pause…?]

[The rage in his voice turns to despair, to outright sobbing]

“...I think I broke my ankle… Eheh, wow… Karma didn’t hesitate this time around. D-Damnit… Just go. J-Just… I don’t want to die, but fuck, the pain… Please, just go… I don’t… You already see me as being pathetic e-enough, I don’t want you to see me pleading with whatever shitty god might be listening to not let me die. I’ll probably ask for my mommy to come save me but she fucking hates me, too…”

[...]

“P-Please… Just… I don’t want you to freeze to death out here… You deserve better.”

[Before you can respond, his head hits the snow. He’s out cold, rapidly being covered by snow and with a broken ankle. He will die out here]

[...]

[SFX: A body being picked up and dragged]

[Scene transitions to your cabin]

[SFX: A fire crackling]

“H-Huh…? Where am I?”

[...]

[Your stalker looks up at you, confused]

“Nnh…? Where am I? Agh, my ankle! My head!”

[Pause]

[He winces up at you]

“H-Hey, I know you from work. You’re one of the executives, right?”

[...?]

“Do I remember anything…? Uhh, I remember the party and getting an ax to chop some more firewood, but that’s about it. Why?”

[Pause?]

“I… chased you with an ax? Fucking Hell…”

[He doesn’t seem as surprised as you expected]

“I guess confessing didn’t go so well… Huh? Um, yeah, aspirin sounds nice. Pizza, too? Geeze… I knew you were kind.”

[SFX: A plate shifting and being set down]

“Help me eat? Why? Oh… Oh, you have me tied up. Smart! Very smart. No, I’m being sincere… I know how I can get.”

[You help him sit up and eat. He seems in an odd state of depression and fixation, sighing whenever you tilt his head or touch his jaw]

“Mmh… Thanks. So, uh… how bad was it? My confession, I mean…”

[Pause]

“Oof… Yeah, I always did get caught on the “we were meant to be” part of the speech. And, yeah, I expected I’d sob… Damn.”

[Pause?]

[He sighs]

“Honestly? I’m surprised you saved my life at all… I swear, none of this ever began with malicious intent. I saw you walk into the bookstore I worked at over a year ago, and your smile, your kind eyes, the books you asked about… I’ve never felt a connection like that, and I tried to work up the nerve to say hello… but I didn’t, and you left. When I got my new job, and saw you, I just… it felt like Fate, you know?”

[Pause]

“I’m a nerd, at the end of the day. I started working out to build confidence, I tried to learn more about you so that I could think of ways to approach you, but… I fixate. I fixated on you and it terrified me when I realized how madly in love I was. I’m sure my intentions started out pure but..”

[He shrugs with a sad smile]

“I’m starting to think there was no way I could’ve approached this where you would have been open to me. That hurts almost as bad as the rejection…”

[...?]

“H-Huh? Have I ever chased anyone with an ax like that? Not that I can recall, maybe some turkeys on my Dad’s old farm?”

[Pause]

“Did I mean all of the spicy things I said to you? Absolutely! You’re gorgeous! I’d cherish any second I got to touch you…”

[Pause]

“...oh.”

[...]

“Ohhhhhh….?”

[...]

“O-Oh my! OK, we love a freak in the sheets, damn. Ah… Sorry?”

[Pause]

“Am I a… yandere? I mean… maybe not so much in the streets, but in the sheets?”

[He gives you a feral grin, properly yandere smirk]

“Want me to say it?”

[...?]

“You know what… darling.”

[<3]

“Hehe, OK, so… we’re both a little freaky… Have you, um, called the police yet?”

[Pause]

“What did you tell them?”

[...]

[He laughs, in disbelief]

“That your boyfriend broke his ankle, hit his head and was acting a bit… erratically because of it? Wow… I’m your boyfriend?”

[Pause]

[His smirk turns a little dopey and he hums in pleasure as you cup his jawline]

“Hmm… Not the most romantic origins for a romance story… but it’s ours, and I’ll treasure it for as long as I live. Darling…”

[Pause!]

“Hey, if you’re flustered when the cops arrive, just tell them your boyfriend gets a little randy when he’s concussed and just can’t HELP but tell his beautiful darrrrllliiinnnggg what he thinks of them.”

[Pause!]

[He giggles, eyes a touch wild]

“Fine, fine, I’ll finish my pizza and soda while we wait… I love you.”

[Pause]

[You’ve never seen a man happier to receive a “Love you, too?” but it is quite a cute sight]

“Yaaay, you love me too, reluctantly! Owwww, my ankle hates me with no reluctance! The head injury seems ambivalent, which is nice. Eheh… I guess, of all the ways this night could have ended, this one is pretty OK.”

[You pat his head and wait for the police to show up, still not entirely sure what the Hell you’re doing]

[The End?]

Note: This gent rolls 1s on everything except this one time he rolled a nat 20 on charisma. That or he has a lore: yandere skill that’s insane.
