I stare at the computer screen in confusion. Was that why Rhys asked for cake earlier? Just to hint towards this video and be some cute little joke?

For some reason that doesn't make sense...

I run my hand through my hair and feel bile churn in my stomach, "Not now, little one," I whisper. I put my hand over my stomach.

I manage to keep the vomit down. I wrack my brain, trying to understand the cake thing. I don't remember seeing anything about cake in any Yandere simulator videos. It just seemingly showed up in that one video.

I sigh and rub my tired eyes. Frustrated tears blur my vision. I need to sleep.

I scroll down to see if anyone has anything else to say about the cake mystery. No one seems to know anything important.

Quietly, I sneak back up to our room. Rhys isn't there when I get back, though. The bed sheets are all crumpled up and one of the pillows is thrown on the floor.

"Rhys?" I call. Maybe he's in the bathroom..? I look behind me and nearly jump out of my skin.

Rhys stands behind me, just staring at me. My heart pounds against my ribcage. Rhys's eyes are clearly not their normal deep green.

"Where were you, darling?" His voice sounds awkward, as if he's trying those words out for the first time.

"I was just getting something to eat," I say slowly, "the baby was hungry."

"Right... Of course"

I back up into the bedroom, "Well goodnight, babe."

I crawl back into bed and pretend to fall asleep. I hear Rhys fix the pillow and cover behind me but he doesn't get into bed. It feels like he's staring at me.

I finally give in and fall asleep for real.

The next morning, Rhys is gone. He left a note on the dinning room table saying he was going to the store to buy a few things.

I planned to ask him about the cake framed, but I don't have time to wait for him to come home.

I grab my purse and go to work for the day.

>Five Hours Later<

I come home to find Rhys watching Game of Thrones.

"Hey, baby," he says when he sees me, "and hello to you too, Lannie."

It takes me a second to get the joke. "Very funny, love."

Rhys just laughs. He seems more normal today.

"Hey, babe?" I walk over behind the couch and wrap my arms around his neck. Rhys leans back and rests his head on my shoulder.

"Hm?"

"What's with those random single frames in your latest  video?"

"What frames?"

"You know, those red frames where you ask for cake."

Rhys turns around to face me, "what are you talking about?" He seems genuinely confused.

"Hold on a sec..." I decide to show him the YouTube comment I saw last night.

I open the laptop and log in. I pull up the YouTube page i was on last night. Then I bring the laptop out to Rhys.

"Watch this video" it's already halfway through the video where the first frame is.

"This is what I was doing last night, I lied to you."

Rhys looks up at me once the video is done,"Lannie dear, I never saw you last night after we went to bed, and I never put these frames in my video..."
