Maid for a day

Ace is having a shit week. His period came late, his cramps are worse, lessons are getting boring and harder and it seems like the world is against him. Shit can't get anymore worse until he finds out that he's going to be a maid in the Ostro Lounge

Ace is trans, tired and wants a hug but instead is forced to be maid due to a deal between Azul and Riddle

Ship: Rook Hunt/Ace Trappola

Ace was having a shit week. First, his period had come late so he was dealing with the joy of figuring out what the fuck he had done to make the damn thing late and then he had also had to deal with the paranoia of it coming, especially with the stupid white pants he had to wear at his dorm.

And then when his period had arrived his cramps had quite literally tried to kill him and since his pride was a fucking bitch he hadn't gotten to the school nurse to grab some pain killers or even asked Crewel if he could brew a pain relief potion after class and he was severely regretting that choice whenever he felt his stomach try and die on him.

As well as the fact it seemed like the world had been out to get him ever since his period started. Classes have gotten harder and/or more boring so he always ended up falling asleep or doodling to pass the time and whenever his teachers tried to tell him off the best thing Ace could to avoid bursting into tears was to sass them as much as possible which had earned him a months worth of detention.

Jack had also been giving him the odd look here and there and had been wrinkling his nose. Ace was just grateful that the beastman had the tact to not comment on anything he couldn't confirm.

"Ugh!" Ace groaned, collapsing onto his bed and staring up at the ceiling, annoyed pout on his face as placed a hand on his stomach. "I can't wait for you to finish and things can go back to normal." He groaned before curling into the fetal position when he felt a strong pain happen in his abdomen.

'Let's just hope nothing else happens now.' He thought to himself in pain as he clutched his stomach and tried to wait out his cramps.

Oh how wrong he was.

****

Trey and Cater watched as their housewarden ranted and ranted over their mischievous first year, Ace Trappola.

"It's like he doesn't care for any consequences!" Riddle threw his hands up in the air in frustration, face red from rage at finding out that Ace had fallen asleep once again in Crewel's class and had then sassed the man when he had been given detention.

"C'mon Riddle-kun! I'm sure Acey-chan was just having a rough day! We all get those." Cater had tried to excuse, even though he knew that it was useless to try and calm down Riddle about Ace.

However, even he knew that Ace had been acting out more than usual lately and he couldn't help but feel worried for his favourite kouhai. Ace had been sleeping more in class and had been more irritable which led to more fights between him and Deuce and he had seemed extra paranoid whenever someone came up from behind and seemed to struggle breathing at random times

"I'll talk to Ace, Riddle. How about we just take a deep breath and try to think about something else." Trey soothed Riddle, always playing big brother. "I can even make you a tart-"

"A tart isn’t gonna fix shit, Trey!" Snapped Riddle, whirling around to glare furiously at his vice. Cater jumped back and winced, knowing that there was no point in trying to talk anything into Riddle at the moment with how badly his temper had gotten.

"He's always going to try to brat out, no matter whatever we do! And there is only so much we can do! If only there was a way that will make sure he doesn't brat out for a while and actually behave and take his studies seriously!"

Cater gulped quietly at the threatening air around Riddle and questioned why he had to go and make friends with Trey and get sucked into this craziness.

Just as he was about to make an excuse so he could escape being a target of Riddle's anger, an oily voice rang through to them.

"Ahh, it seems one of my fellow housewardens is in a bit of pickle. I would love to be of assistance!" And there emerged Azul with the leech twins flanking his sides, Floyd waving enthusiastically at them, and Jade with his hand on his chest smiling politely.

Dear Seven Cater hated his life.

"What do you want?" Snapped Riddle, in no mood to deal with the Octo trios shenanigans.

"So mean, Riddle-San!" And here I was merely offering a helping hand to your struggle. Why the paran-"

"Goldfish!" Floyd interrupted him running to harass Riddle but was stopped by his brother's hold on him.

"Now, now Floyd." Chided Jade "We can all see that Riddle is far too stressed with his own problems right now. I fear anything else will simply make him pop." The condescending look in his eyes gleamed and Cater feared that Trey would have to physically cold back Riddle from attacking the twins.

"Gentlemen! Don't be so rude to customers." Ordered Azul, hands on his hips before returning back to Riddle with a fake smile. "Now, from what we heard you seemed to be having trouble with your first year.

"And what concern is it of yours?" Snapped Riddle, not trusting Azul at all, not that one would blame him really.

"Well I simply think this would be an incredible opportunity for us all here." Azul smiled with all teeth.

"You see I've needed a new… attraction shall we say, and unfortunately nobody in my dorm has applied. In fact they still downright refused when Jade and Floyd asked them as well!"

"And crabby-chan has barely been coming to basketball practice so I can't bully him and when he does come he's a real bitch about it and nobody can stand him." Floyd added in his 2 cents and Cater felt his protective instincts rise within him at the bully comment.

"Don't bully my underclassmen." Snapped Riddle before a thoughtful look crossed his face and he turned to Azul, a curious look in his face. "What attraction are you talking about?"

"Oh, simply a maid dress."

"Huh?!" Exclaimed Cater and Trey in shock before returning to Riddle with looks that said "This is ridiculous." But much to their shock Riddle only adopted a happy smile.

"A maid dress you say?"

"Yes! I believe you teaching young Trappola a lesson using humiliation and me getting a new attraction will simply be the perfect deal here, no?" Azul asked, even though they all knew the answer.

"Yes it wo-"

"Riddle! You can't seriously be thinking about it?" Cater exclaimed, shock still written on his face.

"Cater is right, Riddle. I'll talk to him and we can-" Trey tried to talk some sense but was cut off.

"I'll sign your deal." Interrupted Riddle, a gleam in his eyes that told everyone he would not be dissuaded by notions such as the trust and loyalty that his underclassmen have for each other. It was time to fight fire with fire.

"Excellent." Azul smirked as he took out a document from his inside pocket and placed it on a table in front of Riddle. Riddle eagerly picked up a pen and sighed his signature on the document, a mad gleam still in his eyes. "It's a deal." And that was that.

Cater internally groaned and he had an inkling in his head that everything was going to go to shit.

***

"Pfft hahaha, great joke housewarden." Ace laughed at his unamused housewarden but he sat up from where he was on the couch when he noticed the pained looks on both Cater's and Trey's faces "You're joking, right?" He asked, fear shrouding his mind.

"Nope. Starting tomorrow you'll be working at the Ostro Lounge for a week in a maid dress." Riddle repeated so uncaringly one would think that he was a robot. "I would hope that would teach you a lesson."

"You can't do that!" Ace yelled, jumping up and hearing at his house warden.

"I think you'll find that I can." Replied Riddle simply, a smirk on his face.

"No! I refuse!" Protested Ace, a crack in his voice.

"Oh dear, you should have thought about that before you decided to misbehave oh so much. Good day and make sure to get a good night's sleep. You'll be needed at the Ostro Lounge at 7!"

And with that Riddle turned away flanked with Trey and Cater on both sides, the both of them sending Ace apologetic looks but the ginger ignored them and he turned and ran for his dorm and slammed the door shut.

He ran to hide bed and threw himself on it and hid his tears in his pillow and tried to muffle his sobs.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! This wasn't supposed to happen! He was supposed to have waited out the rest of the week and made it up for everyone by being on his best behaviour!

'Fuck it all too hell!' Ace thought angrily as he wiped his tears away and tried to steady his breathing.

He was Ace Trappola. He can handle a bunch of people being dicks to him, he just needed to return the energy tenfold and then they'd leave him the fuck alone.

But he couldn't deny the anxiety that was building up just at the thought of being the centre of attention, in a maid dress of all things, whilst he was in the most painful and dysphoric time of the month.

Fuck!

***

Ace desperately wanted to punch the little smirk on Azul's face as he walked into the Ostro Lounge and was welcomed by him and the Leech twins flagging either side of them, both of them with a look in their eyes that made him feel like caught prey.

"Ace-san! How wonderful of you to join us!" The housewarden spread his arms in welcome and Ace resisted the urge to break those arms.

"I hate you." He replied simply and if looks could kill Azul would have been dead 3 times over.

"Nehhhh~ Crabby-chan! You're so angry!" Floyd complained as he walked around Azul to throw his arms around Ace.

Ace thrashed in his arms before going limp and took a deep breath to stop the tears from coming.

'You can do this!' He thought to himself encouragingly.

"Ahh, Ace-san, it's too bad that you do but unfortunately we still have a busy day ahead of us! Jade, Floyd! Show our new worker his new uniform!" He snapped his fingers and immediately the two eels took both his arms and practically carried him to another door.

"Here you go Trappola-San." Jade said politely as he gave him the uniform but the look on his face was the most mocking he had seen in a while.

"Drop dead." He snapped and slammed the door in their faces.

He stumbled away from the door and collapsed on the floor and took a deep breath.

'C'mon Trappola. If you can deal with this shit in middle school then you can deal with it here. Nothings changed.'

However, he ignored the little voice in his head that yelled at him to stop being so prideful and to just tell them what the big issue was instead of escalating it.

Ahhh, this was going to be a long day.

***

"Well I don't think having to wear a dress requires such rudeness from our little maid."

"Oh whatever! Now, I can put crabby through the same hell he put me through in basketball! This is going to be so much fun!" Floyd punched the air in victory.

"Now, now." Azul came up to them. "Don't be too mean. We need this to be a success. If we have our little maid cry it could be bad for business."

"Not really." Jade interjected, a cunning smile on his face. "Many people would love to see Trappola-San taken down a few pegs, especially due to the past week."

"Yes, yes." Azul waved off his points away but his eyes shined in interest. "Right now let's make sure that both me and Riddle-san extract as much as we can from this deal."

The look that all three shared would have been enough for someone to call the police.

***

So far, his day has been shit.

After he had come out of the room the trio had all shared similar looks of amusement before assigning him the task of getting the plates ready for the Lounge opening.

He had bumped into some of the workers and the urge to cry had intensified when he had heard one of them comment "Shit, I hadn't even realised it was actually Trappola. I thought boss had hired an actual maid."

Ace had to take in a deep breath before he spiraled into despair and continued his way to finish his chores.

After that incident Ace tried his best to keep his head low but with constantly having to go to the bathroom to make sure that he hadn't accidentally leaked which had caused questions popping up and caused Floyd to be attached to him by his hip, constantly hovering over him threateningly and Ace had to resist the urge to cry.

'You only have a few hours and then you can go and cry and then rinse and repeat. Easy.' As well as easier said than done.

When Ace saw that his friends had come into the lounge he had been ready to just break down and cry. As if his day couldn't get any worse.

"The hell are you guys doing here?!" He demanded, glaring at them but they merely sent him condescending smirks.

"Well we believe that we are welcomed customers and guessed and that we were about to be served by a maid." Replied Deuce and Ace had to clench his fist tightly and grind his teeth before he did or said something that he would regret.

"You-"

"Ace-san!" And just like that the devil spawned behind him in the form of one Azul Ashengrotto. "What are you doing not serving our gracious guests! We apologise for our unruly maid!" He continued condescendingly, patting Ace's head like he was an unruly puppy and by god did he hate people.

"You…" Ace hissed, trailing off, pure hatred in his eyes as he glared at Azul before turning back to the first years. "Follow. Me." His words harsh and clipped.

The first years sent each other troubled looks before making their way to follow Ace and sitting at the table he had given them.

He handed then each a menu with more force than necessary and stared them down as they chose what to order.

They weren't going to lie, it felt mildly intimidating to have somebody who spent 90% of his time cracking jokes glaring down at you like you were worse than a big he had found on his shoe.

Finally, when they had all decided what they wanted they told Ace, but not without some choice words

"You truly do look like a girl, human!"

SLAM!

It was pindrop silence as continued collecting the rest of the menus and his notepad, as if he hadn't just slapped Sebek with one of them as hard as he possibly could. He simply gave them a smile that promised death and left with a "A moment." And stormed away, but not before slamming the kitchen door behind him loudly.

The first years stared after him in shock and mild disappointment that Ace had reacted this badly to being called a girl meanwhile Jack sniffed around, confused.

Odd. He swore he could have smelt blood.

***

Ace threw the notepad at one of the cooks before he stormed out to a storage room and collapsed in there and tried to work through his panic attack, which proved more difficult than normal due to the compression on his chest.

Maybe wearing his binder had not been the greatest idea but it had been a necessary one but now he ever so slightly regretted his decision.

'It's okay, it's okay! They don't know! It was just a simple joke that they had said to be assholes. Don't panic, don't panic. They probably only think worse of you than before.' Ace thought to himself as he tried to rock himself to calm down.

"Trappola-San." Jade's voice came from outside and Ace wanted to cry all over again. "Trappola-san, please come outside."

Across whimpered quietly to himself before standing up and wiping his face.

He opened the door to find the octro trio glaring at him but their looks changed when they gazed at his unkempt appearance and his blood shot eyes.

"Ace-san?" Azul asked but Ace pushed past him.

"Sorry, need to use the bathroom." And he didn't bother looking back."

He had to change out the toilet paper he had been forced to use and adjust his binder so he could breathe.

***

"You don't think this is going too far, Azul?" Floyd asked, his voice usually somber.

Azul hesitated, clearly wanting to agree with Floyd but his pride stopped him.

"Whether this is a good idea or not, there was an agreement between me and Riddle-san. We can not back out of it." He paused before adding on. "However I do think it'll be more efficient if we keep the comment to a low."

"Understood." The twins replied but a bad feeling settled in their guts.

Why did they feel as if everything was about to go to absolutely shit?

***

Ace carried on the rest of his maid duties without issues.

He avoided his friends, kept any small talk that customers had to a minimum and served everyone their food.

If only things could stay like that for the rest of the day.

Unfortunately, shit happened an hour before he could be free.

***

Riddle walked in the lounge, Cater, Trey and flanking either side of him.

'In and out and to make sure that Azul isn't trying to abuse his first year.' Riddle repeated the instructions to himself.

When he had woken up that morning and realised what he had done the day before he had wanted to die then and there.

'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' He had thought to himself. 'What kind of dorm leader does that?'

He knew he couldn't go to Azul and have it changed so now the next best thing to do was to try and apologise to the first year and hope he didn't hate him.

"Riddle, relax." Trey tries to calm him down. "Ace likes it when people own up to their mistakes. You'll be fine." But not even he sounded sure.

"Eh, I don't know. Being forced into a maid dress and forced to work for the most corrupt guys in school because I've had a pretty shitty week is quite traumatising." Commented Cater, eyes on his phone, tone disinterested.

Riddle heard an 'oof' come out of him and winced knowing that Trey's jabs could be painful.

"What Cater is trying to say." He turned to Riddle firmly, the three of them still making their way to the Ostro Lounge "Is that it might take Ace a while to forgive you but it will work out in the end."

"Thanks Trey." He told his friend and took in a deep breath when the three entered into Octavinelle only to run into a sight he never expected to see.

The dorm leaders and their vices, along with Silver were all gathered around the door.

"What are you all doing here?" He asked in shock as he stared at an irritated Leona.

"There was the whole shock wave that your little herbivore had managed to become Azul's little maid and Ruggie wanted to see it go down." Leona yawned, scratching the back of his head.

Ruggie smirked at them and shrugged at Riddle's glare.

"Karma." Jamil answered honestly, an evil smirk on his face. "And Kalim just followed." At least somebody didn't have evil intentions.

"Ace looks pretty, and I simply wanted to know how far that prettiness extended." Vil answered honestly and Rook nodded.

"Beauty is everywhere when it comes to young Trappola I see it everywhere."

Riddle shivered inwardly and made a mental note to inform Ace not to go near Rook in the future.

"I thought it would be fun if nii-san socialised more!" Out of respect for Idia's last bit of self respect and dignity they all pretended not to notice the others hair turning pink.

"I think it's a good idea for us to stretch out legs and Sebek even seemed interested in going here!" Lillia told him, a smile on his face.

'Yeah to make fun of Ace!" He thoight to himself but didn't voice it. Best to not cause a blood bath.

Riddle stared at them for a moment and then sighed, wondering why he ever thought that morals would exist within this school before moving to open the door to the lounge.

There he saw the first tear group shooting Ace looks from across the room whilst Ace took orders with a blank, sullen face.

"Yeah, no, I don't think he's forgiving you any time soon." Cater pointed it out, and Riddle turned to glare at him but sighed. He wasn't wrong now, was he?

"Okay, now we've seen the herbivore, I'm leaving."

"Oh no you don't." Ruggie pulled him back. "I'm hungry so you're paying for my meal." And he dragged him back inside, everyone else following through.

Ace turned at the commotion and looked visibly ill and Riddle felt a bad feeling in his gut grow.

"I don't like this." He said quietly.

"It'll be okay."

But would it?

***

Would breaking down really be all that bad? Sure, there was risk that he might get bullied for being 'soft' and that his friends might discover that he wasn't as strong as he lt on and his family might find out and try and get him to transfer but at the end of the day won't be just be able to take of the stupid dress and his binder and just put on a hoodie and watch movies for the rest of the day?

He held in yet another sigh and approached his senpais, ignoring the feeling in chest yet again that was telling him to take off the binder and to breathe.

"Hello, this is the menu, call when you're ready." He set the menus down on the table and turned to the kitchen when he heard his name being yelled out, not even bothering to acknowledge his housewarden who seemed like he wanted to say something.

"Umm, we made the meal for Table 5." One of the Octavinelle workers said and handed Ace a large tray.

Ace struggled under the weight but nonetheless delivered it.

"Here's your meal, I hope you enjoy." He tried to walk away but his hand was yanked back by Epel.

"We're sorry." The shorter boy told him, regret clear in his voice.

Ace stared at him, turned to look at the others and then shook him off.

"Whatever, I don't need your pity." He snapped and tried to walk away.

Tried.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and when he tried to breathe through it, it got trapped, the pressure in his chest finally winning and he felt himself collapse on the floor, struggling.

"Ace!" He heard his friends yell, but he couldn't tell which one, everything sounding distant in his ears and warbled, as if someone had stuck his head underwater.

He continued to thrash around, trying to find a way to breathe and get his binder of him but he couldn't focus and breathe and the last thing he heard was someone yelling "Fuck, why is there blood?"

***

Rook had smelt the scent of blood when Monsieur Heart had come near him and his concern for the younger had risen.

Truthfully, he had harboured a little interest in the first year when he had taught him the language of the hedgehogs and the younger had been able to master it after a few tries and ever since then he's looked at the first year from a distance, attempting to figure the younger out and how he was able to memorise things so greatly.

Admittedly, he had also found the first year gorgeous, with his lovely red eyes that seem to shine brighter than life itself, his gorgeous red hair and his flawless skin. He carried himself with grace, as if he wasn't going to let anyone stop him no matter what and Rook couldn't help but find that utterly adorable.

So he had noticed that instead of the normal graceful way the other held himself he seemed scared, paranoid, almost as if he was waiting for something to expose him.

He was walking around as if short in breathe and it seemed as is he wasn't the only one to notice so.

"Well he looks like utter shit." Roi du Leon said gracefully.

"Yeah, I've never seen the kid look that bad, even after basketball practice." And even Monsieur Multi seemed to be concerned.

"His vitals are extremely low." Ortho replied, robotic voice concerned.

Before anybody could ask how low they heard a loud crash and a scream.

There lay Monsieur Heart thrashing around, hands scraping at his chest as if trying to get something of him and the rest of the first years surrounding him. Ace was screaming as if he was being kicked a hundred times and the first years looked terrified.

Immediately, their table stood up and ran to the first years to try and help but then Roi du Leon had paused.

"Fuck, it smells like blood!" And the thrashing of young Monsieur Heart ceased, the younger passing out from the clear pain.

***

When Ace woke up it was to him wearing a hospital gown and in a hospital bed with chest not restrained and his friends surrounding him.

He blinked slowly, basking in the rare quiet, before he finally cleared his throat, alerting everyone that he was awake.

"Ace!" Deuce yelled, happiness in his voice and Ace felt mildly surprised.

"Yo." He replied shortly, before looking around confused. "So why am I here?"

"Because you had a panic attack and passed out." The nurse answered him, emerging out of fuck knows where and handed him a potion bottle find with a wierd looking liquid. "Crewel-sensei brewed this for you, drink it when your cramps get bad."

Ace felt himself freeze up as he accepted the bottle before he collapsed.

"Who knows?" He asked after a while, the nurse leaving and telling his friends to not overwhelm him.

"Us, the housewardens, the vices and Silver." Sebek answered truthfully.

"Um, Leona-senpai kinda yelled out why there was blood and everyone else just assumed that you had fallen and ended up scabbing yourself and when they delivered you here the nurse had to practically rip off your binder for you to breathe." Jack told him, scratching the back of his head.

"Don't worry! Everyone was sworn to secrecy! And from what we've heard Riddle-senpai and Azul-senpai got into massive trouble for making a contract without someone's consent so now they're forced to make the potions for you and clean up after as well!" And finally Epel came with the real good news.

"Ugh!" Ace groaned. "Months of managing to keep this a secret and I get screwed over by a panic attack?!"

"Well, I mean, if nobody noticed then you truly are the manliness of men!"

"The hell are you on about loocey Deucey?"

"He's right!" Sebek yelled and Ace winced. "You've managed to keep a secret so well and nobody questioned your identity once! Be proud of what you've done to fool a school full of sharks!" And when Ace sat up to look at them they all had sparkly eyes.

"If one of you dares hug me I will decapitate you." He threatened but that did nothing to stop the group hug he was pulled into.

He yelled but there was no use, they all had a tight hold on bin and eventually he accepted his fate and tried to cover his burning face in their neck.

"Dumbass's." He whispered but there wasn't his usual bite.

"Well isn't this beautiful!" The first years all jumped comically when they heard an extremely loud voice come from the door and there stood their senpais.

"Monsieur Heart!" Rook yelled. He sauntered over to them and deposited a box on his lap. "Seeing you collapse and thrash around there, oh my heart could just not take it!"

Ace stared at his upperclassmen and then turned to Vil and Epel, both of them just shaking their heads.

Ace sighed but nonetheless opened the box that his eccentric senpai gave him and gasped in delight.

"You're my new favourite senpai!" He yelled loudly as he took a chocolate plopped into his mouth, immediately savouring the food that he had been craving since forever, completely missing the look of adoration on Rook's face.

"I'm the one who carried you here, brat!" Snapped Leona.

"So could anyone else, I don't weigh shit."

"Alright enough, yelling! My patient still needs his rest, shoo." The nurse came in at the loud voices, shooting them all a glare.

They all groaned and begged but eventually left, Cater slipping his phone to him.

Ace sighed as he revelled in the quiet, laying on his bed quietly.

He smiled to himself as he took another chocolate and ate it.

Turns out having people who care for you isn't so bad.
