A/N:

Hey guys! Hope you liked the previous chapter <3 As mentioned in the last author note, this is a special chapter dedicated to a concept I've seen in other yandere stories such as Starflame's Love Bite for instance! So hope you like this and have a nice day <3











what's your job?

Lupita: I'm a barista at a chill coffee shop called Miguel's Kitchen. It's not the best wage but it's safe and Uninfected friendly.

Tobias: I'm a carpenter, I carve wood and build stuff. It's not easy but good to keep my mind busy when it's too crowded.

Penelope: I don't have a job yet, my father provides for me. He wants me to be able to pursue my law studies without worrying about money. He's pretty well off anyways, so he can do that much for his daughter.

Jasper: I work alongside my father to one day take over his role as the mayor- What? You mean the other job? Hum... It's complicated... And I'm not sure my lovely (Y/n) would like it... This interview's confidential, you say? Well then... I guess some would say that I'm a hitman. My father gives me names and I kill them. Do I feel bad about it? Not really, work is just work.

do you have any hobbies?

Lupita: I do, yes! I really have a thing for fashion, whether it's mending clothes or designing my own. I don't have enough talent to sew my own clothes but that's definitely something I'd like to do. I also have a thing for plants and crystals, I love learning more about those and collecting them.

Tobias: I guess I like fixing and making things with my hands. Being a carpenter was a good way for me to put this hobby into practice. I also used to draw and sketch in my notebook. I still have it somewhere in my room- You want to see it? *blushes* No, you can't.

Penelope: I love baking, it's actually my favourite! Whipping up new recipes and trying them out in the kitchen is just so much fun and always makes me the happiest. I also love a good shopping trip, alone or with friends.

Jasper: I used to paint a lot and daydream about becoming a painter as a kid. It's been a hot minute since I last used a paintbrush but I really miss it. I really love romance novels too, I have a few good ones on my bookshelves and can't wait to tell my lovely (Y/n) all about them! Maybe we could reenact some of the scenes too?

what is your sexual orientation?

Lupita: Girls. I can't with men, they are nasty. So yeah, guess I'm gay.

Tobias: Eh... Humans? I guess?

Penelope: Why does it matter? I'm in love with Jasper. You want to know? Well I guess girls are pretty. Jasper is kind of the only man I can tolerate to be honest. But that just goes to show how special he is, right?

Jasper: I-I don't know, I've never really thought about it. But why dwell on the question when I've already found my one and only? And I've never really felt any form of romantic or sexual attraction to anyone before (Y/n) so... I wouldn't know how to answer.

how do you feel about your Infection?

Lupita: Well, I am not Infected, but pretending to be a Sadistic is pretty convenient. People tend to frown upon Sadistics and fear them, so this guarantees me some peace of mind. If people fear me, they are much less likely to try and approach or befriend me. Which means that I'm much less likely to get myself into sketchy business or get my cover blown.

Tobias: I used to hate it but... I'm starting to understand it and how it might be useful. Is it really so bad to wish to protect the people you love no matter the cost? Why are you staring at me like that? Did I just say something weird? I guess it was... Sorry. It's just... I'm a bit confused these days.

Penelope: Neutral? I mean, it's just a part of me and I don't really have an opinion on it. There's nothing wrong with being a Possessive. The real threat is Sadistics, who hurt their Darling and others on purpose, for their own twisted pleasure.

Jasper: Good! It's just another part of me and also what led me to (Y/n) in the first place! Not to say that I wouldn't have fallen for her if I hadn't been Infected, but it accelerated the process. I also like to have enhanced senses, I can't imagine what it's like not being Infected. Uninfected people must feel so vulnerable. And that's why we have to care for them as a society.

what's your take on love?

Lupita: I think love's supposed to be pure. I mean, I've never been in love before, but love isn't necessarily romantic. I love my mom, I love myself and I love my friends. Love is putting your loved ones first and yourself second, valuing them and their opinion and doing what you can to make them happy. It's wanting to be close to them and letting them into your heart.

Tobias: Can we skip this question? I don't want to answer this-... Alright, I think love's a beautiful feeling when not corrupted by an Infected mind. It's something I want to protect and preserve... But not something I think I deserve for myself.

Penelope: It's like wanting the person you love to only ever look at you and smile for you. It's like wanting to keep this person to yourself because you know they'll never be better off than in your arms. You want to be the reason for their happiness. What do you mean that's a very possessive vision of love? Of course it is, I'm a Possessive, you dumbass.

Jasper: Love is such a beautiful feeling! I used to see it as something so foreign and so out of reach for me. But ever since I met (Y/n) she opened my eyes to what it means to love someone. To wish to spend your every waking and sleeping hours by their side, to learn everything that there is to know about them. It's... Addictive. You think I'm mixing up love and obsession? Thanks for the compliment!

how romantic would you say you are?

Lupita: I don't really know to be honest. I've never been in love with anyone before and haven't been in a relationship either, so this is all new to me. But I guess I can be fairly romantic with the right person. I like the idea of stargazing and going to a nice coffee together to share drinks and yummy treats. I've also often daydreamed about having a person to hold and kiss, to talk to and confide in. Both a lover and a best friend.

Tobias: A few weeks ago I would have said that romance really isn't my thing... But a very special someone opened my eyes and made me realise that maybe I'm way more romantic than I thought I was. Now I think about her on a daily basis, think about all the things we could do together if I let my feelings get the better of me... Think about all the things I could do for her. The most romantic thing I see myself doing in the name of love? Dying for her. If it meant protecting her, I would do it in a heartbeat. What if I was the threat, you ask? That's such nonsense, I would never hurt her.

Penelope: I think I'm on the romantic side for sure, as for how much... I don't really know. One thing I love doing is baking for my loved ones and taking care of them in different ways. I once shaved Jasper when he was sick and washed his hair for him. I've also fantasised about taking my lover on all kinds of dates many times. Look here, I have a list of them all!

Jasper: *glances at his bookshelves filled with various romantic books* Well... I-I think I'm a romantic at heart. As mentioned earlier, I've read plenty of love stories and used to daydream about these a lot. I put this side of myself aside when I started working with my father, but the thought of one day finding my one and only and living happily ever after with them never left my mind. And now that I found my darling (Y/n) I can't wait to live all of the things I've read about. From our first kiss to raising our own children and growing old together.

do you think murder can ever be justified? would you see yourself killing someone?

Lupita: Sorry, what? What do you mean 'this is a serious question'? Of course I don't think it can ever be justified. Who in their right mind would answer anything different? Yeah, an Infected would, but they are all fucked up in the head.

Tobias: Murder is fundamentally bad, of course. It doesn't take a genius to know that. Would I ever see myself killing someone? I-... I don't know. I used to be so sure that I would sooner die than kill someone. But now... I'm not so sure anymore. Why, you ask? Because now I have someone that makes killing look appealing, if only it means keeping her safe. Last time I caught myself fantasising about killing a man who had hurt her... And technically I guess I did kill him by letting him bleed out on the floor when I could have saved him. I just... I don't know what I'm capable of anymore. It scares me.

Penelope: Murder's fine, I guess? I mean if it's in the name of love I think it's actually quite romantic. I've always wanted Jasper to kill someone for me but he never did. Me? Would I ever kill someone? No, why do it myself when I can get someone else to do it for me? *smiles sweetly*

Jasper: I don't know, to be honest. I've already had to kill countless people for my father and will probably keep on doing just that for as long as he needs me to. That's part of my job. I don't really get to ask myself whether it's justifiable or not, my father wants a person gone and so I shall kill them. That's how it works. For (Y/n) I would kill in a heartbeat though, not out of duty, but because I love her. Isn't murder the purest proof of one's love for another?

where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Lupita: Mmmh... I don't know honestly, life as an Uninfected is kind of day to day so I haven't really thought about where I'd like to be five years from now. But I guess I like the idea of maybe opening my own coffee shop with someone I love and trust, a friend or... a girlfriend. I'd like to still be able to care for my mom as well and earn enough money to give her a better life. She's always dreamt of seeing the beach. So if I earn enough money to buy myself a car I could take us there. I really like the idea of (Y/n) still being a part of my life 5 years from now too. As a friend or... more.

Tobias: Happy, hopefully. With a house of my own, a healthy relationship with the woman I love, chi-children possibly... A dog and a nice forest surrounding our home. I really want to build our house from scratch too, as a gift for my wif-... lover. I just hope to have something peaceful, safe and authentic.

Penelope: I'd really love to open my own bakery, be done with uni and law... Make people happy with what I do best. Have my own house with pink shutters and a little garden. Jasper would be a stay at home dad for our first daughter and he wouldn't have to work for his father anymore. But that's all more of a pipedream than anything else, really. Why are you looking at me like that? If I'm sure that Jasper is the one I see myself with in five years? Of course I am! He's... my Darling.

Jasper: Ideally or realistically? Mmmh... Realistically I'm probably going to take over my father's place as a mayor, live in our family house with my darling (Y/n) as my wife, with a child of our own and a second on the way, preferably a boy and a girl! Ideally I'd love to start painting again and earn enough money to live off of my passion with (Y/n) as my supporter and muse. I mean, I have plenty of money to go by, but earning more can't hurt, right?

what would you do if (Y/n) didn't return your feelings?

Lupita: I'd be sad of course, but I'm also perfectly happy being her friend! As long as I have her in my life, it's all that matters.

Tobias: Well, I'd feel heartbroken for sure. But it's not really a matter of whether she returns my feelings or not. As long as she's safe and happy... It's all that matters to me. I think.

Penelope: What feelings? I don't like her, not in the slightest bit. What do you mean, I'm blushing? You're being ridiculous. Stop with the stupid questions. I'm in love with Jasper. No one else.

Jasper: That won't happen. (Y/n) and I are made for one another and I know this. I just need to prove it to her so that we can finally live our love story to the fullest. Rejection isn't an option. *smiles*

SPECIAL QUESTIONS:

Lupita

Q: Do you have any friends?

Lupita: I- Gosh, you're straight to the point, aren't you? To answer your question I guess I... don't? I mean I've never really been able to afford the luxury of having 'friends'. Not when my self preservation was on the line. I used to have friends back when I was a kid, but I cut ties with them when things got too risky. I didn't want to risk my safety, or my mom's.

Q: How is living in the city as an Uninfected?

Lupita: Mmmh... Lonely for the most part. Making friends and being in any form of relationship is kind of a no go. And there's also the constant hypervigilance, having to pay attention to your surroundings, being careful to fit in so that people don't suspect you're Uninfected... It's not all bad, though. I like the city. Just don't like the people in it.

Q: Have you ever wished you'd been born in the Uninfected Community?

Lupita: Yes, I guess. But more so for the safety and peace of mind than anything else, really. I love the city and I'm a city girl. I don't know much about the Uninfected Community, but what I do know is that it's more a village lost in nature than it is a bustling hub.

Tobias

Q: Tell us about your experience in the Uninfected Community.

Tobias: It was... good. I mean at first, when no one knew I was Infected, not even myself. I had friends, a loving family... And it all stopped when I got tested positive for the Infection. Then things changed drastically. My friends started avoiding me because their parents wouldn't let them see me, my mother started ignoring me... Until eventually the Community chose to kick me out to preserve itself. Which I understand, I really do. I was a threat and they did what they had to in order to preserve their peace.

Q: Who is Marcus to you?

Tobias: He's kind of like my grandfather. We met when I first came to the city as a child. He found me in the streets, I was doing anything I could to survive and tried stealing his wallet. Instead of turning me in to the cops he took me in exchange of me learning how to make a fake ID for him because his was nearing the expiration date. He took care of me, looked after me and raised me like I was his own flesh and blood. So yeah, to me he's family, even more so than my biological parents.

Q: What do you think about Uninfected people and do you think your experience in the Uninfected Community has impacted your view on them?

Tobias: For sure, yes. Most Infected in the city view Uninfected as weak and helpless due to them not having any enhanced senses. But from what I've seen, Uninfected people are incredibly brave and courageous. They look out for themselves and others, have this sense of community between them that only comes from shared experience and struggles. They are masters of their emotions and feelings, masters of their choices... I envy them. As freedom of choice or thought isn't something Infected people have when their Infection strikes.

Penelope

Q: Do you think an Infected's Darling can change?

Penelope: You mean can I fall for someone that isn't Jasper? Haha, not a chance. Not. A. Chance. And stop looking at me like that!

Q: Is Earl Grey your favourite tea?

Penelope: Yes! It goes especially well with scones, lavender and cream. It's also a very interesting ingredient when baking as it goes well with many things! I do have a soft spot for white tea too, though, especially in Spring and Summer. There's just something very comforting about sipping a cup of white tea paired with a slice of fresh white peach pie.

Q: How do you feel about the nickname 'Penny'?

Penelope: I don't mind it. It sounds quite cute and simple. I still prefer Pen, though. And not just because it's Jasper's nickname for me. It's also what my mother used to call me back when she was still here. *chuckles* I can still hear her in my head sometimes, calling me for breakfast or lunch.

Jasper

Q: How do you feel about your work and life balance?

Jasper: Not too good to be honest. I mean, I didn't mind working all day and spending most of my time on professional matters before (Y/n) came along. But now, it's growing harder and harder to concentrate on my tasks when all I can think about is her. The time I'm able to spend away from her is growing shorter and shorter and I know that when we'll be together I'll have to make some changes in my timetable. Once we're married I don't want her to be a lonely stay at home wife. And I also want to make time for our future children. So either way, I know my current work/life balance isn't good, even more so considering it leaves me drained.

Q: How do you feel about taking over your father? Is it what you've always wanted to do?

Jasper: I know it's my duty, so I am going to do it. But I would be lying if I said that this has always been my dream. Still to this day there are thousands of things I'd rather do. Like becoming a painter, I always loved painting and am apparently quite good at it. I'd also really love to be a stay at home husband for my darling (Y/n) if I could. You're surprised?

Q: How do you see Uninfected people?

Jasper: I feel concern for them mostly. Because from what I've seen and what I've heard from my father, Uninfected aren't really capable of taking care of themselves or handling themselves. They are weak and don't have the strength to protect themselves from outside threats or even themselves. That's why we need to protect them ourselves as Infected individuals and as a society. How do I explain the fact that some of them refuse our help? Well, they just don't know what's good for them, of course!
