The Seven Deadly Sins (Yandere Boys X Reader)

Chapter 33: Vanity

Vanity- Derived from the sin of pride, vanity is seen as one having overestimation of their abilities, looks or self that causes a belief of having excessive greatness or attractiveness to others. Compared to pride, it is the desire to not only believe but show what one has achieved and gained and seek praise from those around them.

"What?"

Her mind was left in a perpetual cycle of disbelief and shock as her stiffened body kept being held by the male that seemed to now become an addition to her life. Her eyes never shrunk back to normal as her wide stare continued scouting out for any indications on what the outlandish claims were held by.

The male longingly continued holding her in his arms, enwrapping her in a cage of overzealous bliss while he rested his head against her own. "Ah, I didn't think we would meet again sooner than I intended. But my heart can't stop beating for you now." He exclaimed in an augmented tone of sweetened, cherishing emotions only for the girl to continue trying to process the unprecedented occurrence.

"What is happening...?" (Y/n) finally managed to utter a shaky silent semblance of sounds that formed into the words that were screaming in her mind. Vince simply hummed with pleasure as he was finally able to indulge his ears on the melody that formed her voice.

"A sound that I could only dream of...it's even sweeter in real life." Exclaiming his fruition in experiencing the vocals, the older boy finally seemed satisfied enough to unravel her from his arms and settle on placing his hands on her shoulders where he still held her in connecting distance. He stared at her with flared up life reflecting in his eyes as her form shined in his fixated vision.

"What is happening...?" (Y/n) couldn't help but repeat her initial unanswered question that only seemed even more daunting with every passing second. The surrounding watchers also mimicked her state of disbelief while a flint of anger resonated within some of their bewildered expressions.

Vince's features quickly snapped into realisation as he attempted to compose himself and properly present his feelings to the girl. "I'm sorry, (Y/n). This must be a bit surprising to you but it's been nearly a decade since we last saw each other, I couldn't contain myself." He understandingly nodded away before leaning in to encouragingly smile at the girl. "Can you remember me?" He beckoned, gently urging her to recollect her memories.

"I-uhh..." She uncertainly sounded out but didn't manage to fill in the spaces in her blank mind as her brain seemed to completely become detached from her head, leaving a hollow shell of clogged gears trying to turn.

Padraig finally recovered from his paralysis as he slowly took a few steps towards the pair. "Vince...why are you acting like this towards a commoner?" His astounded inquiry was annunciated in bewildered tones, only to receive a reaction no one expected.

Vince's soft gaze immediately blazed with fury as his mood flickered on like a light switch. The male swiftly spun around to send his nephew an outraged glare that was accompanied by a chillingly disgusted and hostile warning. "Don't you even think to dare to call her such a demeaning title!" His bile shout froze the younger boy to the spot, falling in further bafflement at the extent and passion he was going through to defend the female. The aggravated matured boy transitioned his attention back on the girl and as he turned around to face her again his features had already melted down into an expressive display of affection and tenderness in front of her eyes. "She is so much more than that."

(Y/n) was left once again speechless as she flew through her mind to grasp at any semblance of understanding for the scenario presented to her. "What?" She reverted back to a singular word inquiry. Shaking her head slightly to jog the cogs in her mind, the girl finally built up a full sentence at her throat before releasing the inquiry. "I'm sorry, who are you?" She attempted to wrap her mind around where she could have met such a renown identity but failed to fit the face to previous encounters.
