Intermission 3-4
>:3
The intermission✨
Our saving graces and also the setter of the next palace!
What we will cover:
-The 2 parties
-the confession
-More shenanigans
-Bro bonding 101 with Azul :3c
OK this will be a very fun one to have... Like it was fun to write it since ya know, it will follow the 'everybody clown until...' plot...
Yeah... It's kinda my fav type of plot to write. :'3
Now onto the party!
Before june 1st, Ortho slammed the money from his bet in front of Idia at LeBlanc and so, much to Idia's dismay, he had to set a day for the ramen payment. Riddle and Ortho mentally cheered.
Yet the 5th of June was a chaos since morning.
The twins came in advance and since the thieves group decided 'oh yeah, let's all hog Riddle's room for the night', these 2 tried to call dibs on the couch.
Sike, Ortho called dibs a night earlier. :'3
But also Idia seemed to prepare a lot for his own slumber party. It is still a shock that this guy landed a sleepover, let alone have the house empty of any kids. Futaba really had to pinch herself and Yusuke to check that it was real.
Meanwhile, Malleus was also preparing for the party. The others tried to help him and Azul by splitting into 3 groups.
Riddle, Ortho, Adeuce and Vil were helping Malleus out, while Rook, the twins and Epel aided Azul.
Meanwhile Jamil had to prepare along Kalim. Thankfully there wasn't too much hassle on that end, but because we are talking about the tight security at their place, the others couldn't mingle in so easily. :'3
Malleus really wanted to find a gift for his partner, as it was a tradition in his family to get courting gifts when inviting the other to a party. And while they were certainly not short on the Draconia bank account, it was hard for Malleus to decide, especially since he didn't want something very expensive.
Meanwhile Floyd tried to eat lipstick. Epel almost threw a perfume bottle through the window. Rook was rook and Jade seemed to just enjoy Azul's ever lasting 'I'm done with these dumbasses' face. :'3
In the end, Malleus decided on flowers. They could be put as little attentions to their attire after all. Then again, flowers were romantic and a go-to gift when it comes to dates or special events.
So they go to a flowershop!
And Jack was working there! :D
A small back and forth about casualties was given before Jack presented what the shop had in store today. He did ask what Malleus was aiming for. The other did say that it was for a very special someone. He also wanted a few narcissus and primrose in there.
Jack adds Carnations and Dahlias, although for the sake of easy to understand message, he also put roses. Jack's boss was a very kind lady who always told him to try and balance out bouquets and watch it to not be too heavy/big.
In the end, Malleus was more than happy with the bouquet. He did give an extra tip to Jack for his insight and help.
And with pulling out the costumes and everything, the preparations were done on all 3 ends. Malleus did say that he will pick up his date himself, like a true gentleman. :3
Meanwhile, Akira had his ever so trusty men(Ryuji and Yusuke) help him out. Haru was pampered by Ann, Makoto being the driver while Futaba was helping out with the dress.
So when the twins get dropped along Deuce and Ace at LeBlanc, it was the means that the guests will come at the party. Vil and Rook also came, all of them settling with some snacks and watching some movie at the TV. Futaba was with Yusuke at their now kid empty home, enjoying some peace and quiet.
Cheeka also got dropped by at LeBlanc, but the kiddo fell asleep by 20 and even when Adeuce yelled due to a scare from Floyd, cheeka didn't nudge. So they put him on the bed and there he slept all night.
Meanwhile, at the Ashengrotto residence... :3
~~~~~~~~
"You sure don't want me to drop you by? Mom already left-" "I'm capable... I have the map on my phone, I got the route, train stops and I don't talk with anyone on my way there." Epel rolled his eyes as he adjusted his bag over his shoulder. The other only exhaled.
"Don't worry..." Epel mused. "Your japanese greatly improved with Malleus as a tutor... I must admit..." Azul smiled as he ruffled the lavender hair of the other. "Yeah! Now I can swear!" Epel happily declared, gaining an eye roll from the other.
After a small silence, Azul smiled as he put in Epel's hands a pouch with something in it. "Wha-" "You deserve it..." The other cut off with a smile as he looked at their hands. "It's something to show that... Whatever happens... You are apart of this family... And family will stay united no matter what, Epel... Alright?" The taller said quietly with a small smile, before turning onto his heel as his phone buzzed in the pocket.
"Call me if anything comes up!" He said before dissappearing through the door. Curiously, Epel opened the pouch.
The fake gems from the palace. All of them were in there.
Azul gave him more than half of the treasure.
~~~~~~~~
For the party, Makoto drove Akira and Haru. Of course their gc was full of texts and Akira again just being a lil teasing shit.
The party was held at a very luxurious hotel.
And surprisingly, they arrived right when Kalim was checking in with Jamil. Or more like Jamil getting the formalities while Kalim was looking around a bit nervous. His emotions seemed to calm down once realising that Akira was in here with Haru. It was a bit hard to recognise each other(due to the whole mask thing), but Akira also reached them in time and Haru spoke her name to the receptionist, gaining their entry too.
Of course the usual compliments were given, although whenever Kalim was praised for his looks, he would immediately reply by saying that Jamil is totally slaying tonight. And ironically, Kalim couldn't seem to do justice to Jamil's fit for the night with just words as he put it lightly.
Pls Jamil... Appreciate the compliments, don't just puff... :'3
Meanwhile, the party was ready to start when the last ones arrived. First Mrs Asim with Mr Koizumi as her plus one. (much to Kalim's visible worry and annoyance).
And the last one was Malleus himself, who came with not 1, but apparently 2 partners, which was a shock for most people.
They didn't expect THE Draconia to bring in 2 partners.
Also the group at LeBlanc were spamming the whole GC when Kalim sent a photo of the whole ordeal. Like dayum, Malleus... Most of these guys can't get 1 date to save their lives... But here you are with 2... O-O;
Even wilder was when Epel arrived at LeBlanc and recognised Azul in the photo as one of Malleus's dates. Like that's when things went nuts completely, since who tf was the 3rd one?!
Meanwhile Akira living the high life and Haru just keeping him in check. It seems like Joker was slipping through like a waterfall. The adults PT chat was also running wild, but a tamer one since a lady tried to hit it on Akira at the buffet (blame the max charm U-U) and Haru went passive aggressive. Futaba and Ryuji encouraged a rich peeps fight in the gc.
Meanwhile Malleus did notice the stares he received. It was clear as day that his dates were a bit anxious about the stares, so for most of the party, they enjoyed it quietly in a corner.
That was, of course when it was announced that Mr Koizumi had something to say. At that moment Kalim was basically on the verge of either tears or throwing hands. Jamil holded him by the hand to remind him that homicide is still illegal in the real world. :'3
And so, much to the relief of the thieves, the man confessed to his crimes and the party had to be cut short due to the police getting an intervention.
This shit was also broadcasted as breaking news, so the sleepover gang had to interrupt their 3rd movie to see that and finally pop out the real cheers. Kalim and Jamil dropped at LeBlanc after the party, joining in the party gang.
Meanwhile, Malleus said that he will drop at Ashengrotto's for the night. He was let off the hook for the night, but tomorrow, it was clear as day that Vil, Ace, Jade and Ortho wanted the full on boiling tea.
~~~~~~~~
"Well... Now they know..." Azul grumbled as Malleus closed his phone, putting it on the nightstand as he dragged the covers of the bed over all 3 of them. "I believe it was just a matter of time... Grandmother is accepting this... Much like Lilia and Sebek..." "Mom also was surprised about this, but happy nonetheless..." Azul mumbled, before the 2 looked at the 3rd person in the bed.
"I-I... I don't really know..." He mused, looking in another part. Malleus only exhaled as he draped his arm around both of them. "I know you are afraid... But we all have to face our true selves one way or another... And I am more than confident your parents will accept it..." "You say that?"
"Darling..." Azul breathed. "Whatever happens... We will always be here for you... And everything will be alright..." "this ain't a fairytale, Azul... This is reality... And reality is disappointing..." "Well now you are just pessimistic..."
Malleus only hummed as he nuzzled his face into the pillow, dragging the 2 closer. "Yeah... We get it, mal... Sleep..." The other 2 smiled as the 3 snuggled together.
PING!
"Epel won't let me live it down..." Azul breathed.
~~~~~~~~
The next day, Epel busted down the door in the early morning. Boy got the first train and got there only to find just Azul in the apartament.
It was a known fact that Epel entered the apartment when the loud ass 'SO YA SMOOCHED WITH DRACONIA?!' was heard. It was so loud that Azul even dropped his books on the floor in surprise.
It was a bit of back and forth before Epel finally left Azul to prepare for school.
What he didn't know was that with the first second of privacy, Azul stuck his head out the window to check on something.
In the morning also, Idia came back from his sleepover. Apparently he and his buddies pulled an all nighter bingie watching the whole new season of the anime he was hooked up onto. He kept from watching the episodes in advance just for this.
Futaba makes a whole goddamn drama about it because 'this is why you didn't want to watch it with me?!'.
Leona also came to pick up Cheeka. So the man did cht with Futaba for a bit, while Riddle, Ortho and everyone who had a sleepover got ready for the school.
But they overheard a bit of the conversation. Leona mentioned that his flight would be on July 9th, at night. That was also when his brother with wife and Cheeka would leave as well, but for their own country. Leona was relived that finally those political affairs discussions were done and over.
Reminded by the look of sadness Cheeka gave to his uncle, the group decided to get back on track again.
So calling Malleus and Epel, after school the group assembled for a meeting. Vil, Rook and Jade made their little homework regarding Leona.
Leona was the 2nd prince of the Kingscholar dynasty. His brother, the 1st born, also got the throne. Little is known of Leona as he seems to not be that active in the public life. Rumors circled around about possible affairs or illegal things he might be doing.
The most outrageous rumor was Leona attempting to get the throne. But that, of course, would be if his brother would give it up or if he died before Cheeka, the next in line, would be of age to rule.
So with those on hand, the group was ready to get in the Palace.
Except that things can never be that simple... :'3
~~~~~~~~
"Sebek-" "SHHHHH..." Jack only rolled his eyes as he awkwardly looked around, before glancing back at the bush in which the other was hiding. "Wakasama keeps dissappearing! He might be involved in some illegal things!" the Greenhead declared.
"I doubt it..." Jack mused. He didn't even know how did he get in this, but Sebek was his gym buddy and when he expressed, quite in the Sebek fashion, that his Wakasama might be in danger, Jack didn't expect to be faced with babysitting a bush.
And to add it, Jack was surprised he didn't receive as many odd looks as he expected.
"Sebek... I have homework... And you said we would do it together... Let's go... Your 'Wakasama' seems to be in a tight enough group to think of trouble..." The boy mused, rolling his eyes as he opened his phone, checking onto the time, then a few messages he got. Might as well play a game to pass some time before Sebek would finally let it go of his suspicions.
Except that Jack could bearly open the little mindless phone game when Sebek immediately jolted up and grabbed him by the arm, dragging Jack and making him trip, enough so that the 2 would topple down on the ground.
Sheepishly raising his head, Jack was ready to be faced with the array of stares from people and maybe a laugh or 2, since this was literally a cartoon stunt.
Fsh...
Against his expectations, Jack found himself with leaves in his face. Redressing himself along Sebek, the 2 looked around in confusion.
A jungle....
"Sebek, just so you know, I still have to be home by 18..."
~~~~~~~~
Priorities... :'3
But here we have the intermission as well... :3
Our new palace ruler is: Leona Kingscholar! :D
Really, who didn't expect it from me by now? :3c
So get ready to dwelve into the ✨tea✨
Until next time, buh bye!
