My doll is in love with me [Kth fanfic]

Author's P.O.V:

It isn't easy for a child to grow up without friends, soon they would long for one or worse, fear people around them. Specially if you grow up to have no friends at all and not even your parents are by your side to keep you company.

But Y/n was different, she was a strong girl and even though she became an orphan, she kept her feet strong. Of course it's impossible for a person to have no friends, although her only friend could not talk to her or play with her, he was by her side through all the complications.

Yes, she wasn't completely friendless, her only friend in the world was a doll. She was different ever since she was born, quieter than most kids and thirst for imagination; she was often secluded by herself as other kids would look at her strangely. In hopes the loneliness wouldn't succumb her, her parents showered her with things to keep her occupied before they took their last breaths. One of those things was a doll. It wasn't anything special, a mere rag doll made of cloth that took the shape of a boy. Compare to all her other toys, you wouldn't expect a child to be so taken with a rag doll that barely breathed any life. However the moment Y/n saw the hand stitched doll she became inseparable to it

She would carry the doll everywhere and never leave it. Even at school they were inseparable and when she would be left alone, she would talk to the toy and respond to it as if it were communicating. her teachers would be concerned about her behavior, even called her parents, but whenever they asked her about it she would simply try to prove them wrong

Mom: Y/n dear what did I tell you about talking to that doll of your's. You can't ignore everyone, you need to make friends

Y/n: But I don't want to! They're all mean to me and they bully V (name of the doll)

Mom: He is not a real person, you need real friends. Now I don't want to hear another excuse, put that thing away and go out.

Y/n: But who am I supposed to play with?!

Mom: Don't you think about taking V with you. This is going to give you an excuse to make real friends

Y/n: V is not a toy! He's real and you made him angry!

Mom: Y/n enough !

Dad: Dear if she thinks her doll talks to her then let her be

Her dad consoled her mother

Mom: She can't be friends with a doll her entire life, she needs to see reality

Dad: Look you're scarring her. She's just a child, she'll learn when she's mature. Let her be for the time being

Mom: Fine! It's your fault if she never learns

And like that they would always fight, for both wanted the best for they're daughter who still believed her doll could talk. You couldn't blame the kids for being scared or annoyed by her either

-At school-

Random boy: Hey Y/n let's play together

Random girl: Yeah let's play together, it'll be so much fun!

Y/n: Okay but on one condition

The two kids looked at each other confused while Y/n smiled gleefully

Y/n: V will also play

The two kids started laughing at their class mate's delusional condition

Girl: Y/n that's a doll!

Boy: You're such a baby, still playing with dolls and believe they can talk to you

Y/n: I'm not a baby and V can talk!

Girl: Don't lie to us, dolls can't talk Y/n

Y/n: But I'm not lying! He can talk!

The two children exchanged looks and started to get scared

Boy: You know what, forget about us playing together

Girl: Yeah, you're weird

Y/n: W-well you guys a-are a bunch of meanies! A-and V doesn't like you!

That was always how things went. And just like that Y/n was left alone until high school.

Y/n's P.O.V:

It's my first day of high school and I'm not looking forward to it. It's not like I don't like school, but I can't say the same about the people. Ever since my childhood no one wanted to be my friend, I can't imagine why but they always went away once I introduced them to V. I'm not delusional to think my toy can talk to me right? Although some might say that I'd gone crazy, and I'd believe them if I hadn't experienced it myself but this doll I've had such a connection with really did respond to me. V was my only friend who accepted me the way I am, he was there when my house burned down. When everyone left he still stayed back and that's why I love him.

My parents died when I was eight and I'm currently living with my grandma. She sometimes teases me about V but she was the first person to not mind about him and I'm pretty sure V had no problems with her. It was like him to hate whoever didn't accept or believe that he was real. The next thing I knew they disappeared as if they never existed to begin with.

Y/n: I really hate this but I can't skip school

V: Awe Y/n can't you stay back? Please stay back, we can play all day!

Y/n: Sorry V, but grandma will be mad at me if I don't go to school. Don't worry I will come back as soon as I can.

V: Well then take me with you, I can protect you from all the bad people!

It was adorable when he tried to act tough, but I know he just cares for me a lot

Y/n: I'm sorry V but I don't think the teachers would approve a doll in class

V: Y/n we talked about this

Y/n: Sorry, but my point is I can't take you with me. In high school you're not allowed to bring toys in school, you could get thrown away. Plus I worry you'd hurt someone

V: I don't hurt people for no reason

I rolled my eyes, sometimes it got exhausting to humor him.

Y/n: Sure, don't worry V I'll be fine

V: Well don't drink bad milk and don't use the toilets at school. Keep away from boys, they're nothing but trouble

Y/n: V aren't you a boy too?

V: boys other than I are monsters. You get my point now go before you're late

Y/n: Okay, bye!

I exited my room and went to the kitchen to find my grandma, she took care of me when I became an orphan and it'll kill me to lose her. She gave me a half smile that looked like it took a lot of strength to conjure, that's when I remembered how old she was. I was now worried how long she might last and it just got me feeling even worse.

Grandma: Y/n, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?

Y/n: No I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you

Grandma: I know you don't like being around people but you can't ignore education.

Y/n: I know. I'm trying my best I promise

Grandma: And That is more than enough. Now have your breakfast and hurry up before you get late for your first day to high school!

I quickly finished my breakfast and headed out. It had been some time after dawn, the dew on the grass from the morning fog had condensed into sparkling jewels under the morning rays. I huffed a pent up breath before walking down the road. It was going to be a long day.
