Jade's Story | Floyd's Story

Once a year, during the week of the largest full moon, merfolk are forced out of the ocean at night, their aquatic halves melting into legs. The process itself was not a pleasant one, often described as stepping on broken glass for the entire duration. This annual week-long nightly excursion typically starts the year in which the merperson turns sixteen, corresponding with the age at which the mermaid made a deal with the Sea Witch to go on land and try to be with her soul match.

Some considered it as a blessing, as a chance to find their soul match beyond the waters they knew, to find the singer of the silent song that rested in their hearts. To find the person that they felt magnetically drawn towards, no matter the distance that separated them, like that of the moon and the tides.

Others, however, viewed it as a curse, as there was a catch alongside the pain of walking. If their soul match happens to not be a merperson, one of the parties would have to leave their old life behind in order to be with the other. The surface dweller would have to trade their legs for fins, or the mer would have to trade their aquatic half for legs. Permanently. Such a steep price had some mers taking drastic measures to avoid that fate, not wanting to be forced to leave the life they knew behind or wanting their soul match to leave theirs, even if it meant they would both live their happiest years together. In the search for answers, some were able to concoct an elixir that would stop the transformation for that year. Unfortunately, there was also a drawback to it as well. If a mer were to take it for three years in a row, they would no longer be able to go on land, even with the aid of potions. They would be bound to the sea for their life. It is easy enough to avoid, but it was still tiresome.

But what of mers already living on land? What happens to them during this week?

For those mers who call the land their home, they revert back to their merform during sunlight hours, regardless of how many potions or spells they may try. They only get their legs back when the sun sets and the moon rises. It is more of an inconvenience than anything else.

And this cycle of returning to land would continue until they found their soul match, forged a bond with another, their match forged a bond with another or their match died. But they would feel when their match died the instant it happened, as the pull would stop and their inner song faded into silence. And for those who had lost their match, they were never the same again. It was considered as one of the most painful experiences a mer could live through.

Mers would be able to feel their soul match and hear their song by their sixth birthday. If they did not, it was often seen as a bad omen, as it was an extremely rare occurrence. And looks of pity and sadness were given when the child disclosed this information, but no one outside of their family would answer their questions.

… ... ...

Azul could not fall asleep, no matter how many songs his mother sang, or how many stories she told him. The little cecaelia stayed awake, his tentacles subconsciously mussing with blankets.

“Mama, what did it feel like for you?” He murmured, trying and failing to suppress a yawn, eyelids drooping. “Did it feel like the mermaid’s from the story? Can you tell me it?”

Miss Ashengrotto held onto her son’s little hand, rubbing her thumb gently across his palm. “Hm, well it felt like there was a rope tying me to someone. I couldn’t see or touch them, but I knew they were out there somewhere.” She hummed, placing a kiss on Azul’s forehead. “But it was the song,” she placed a hand on top of her heart and then placed one of her tentacles on Azul’s chest. “It sings from here, and in theirs is where the harmony is complete. It felt like…” A wistful sigh left her lips, “It felt like home. Not quite like the mermaid’s, but similar in a sense.” A soft smile graced her lips as she looked tenderly at her son. “And I met him six years ago. I met you, my little cuttlefish.”

Azul giggled at the nickname. “What about dad? I thought he was your soul match?”

“He’s not,” she frowned slightly, knowing that she would have to tell him eventually about the divorce, but not wanting him to go through what many children of divorce had to. Especially not now. “But that’s okay. We can love people who aren’t our soul matches. Plus soul matches can come in very many ways. They can be romantic, like the mermaid’s, friendships, or familial, like you and me. Some people even have more than one. For every person, there is a different kind of soul match, no two are the same.”

Azul leaned into his mother’s touch, and clung onto her side, “I love you, mama.”

“I love you most,” and she attacked his face with kisses and raspberries, making him squeal with laughter. “Now, you should really try and get some sleep, love. Tomorrow is your birthday after all!”

Azul wrapped himself into a blanket cocoon, “Okay, mama. Night night.”

Ms. Ashengrotto gave one final kiss to his forehead and turned off the light. “Sweet dreams, Azul.”

He looked towards the skylight, seeing the gentle light softly radiating from the full moon above. He wondered if they saw it too if his soul match was seeing the same beautiful moon that he was seeing now. He wondered if they felt like the warm gentle kisses of the sun's rays on skin, or perhaps the cool embrace of the moon’s light. Maybe they felt like something completely different. Azul let out a happy but nervous giggle and waved goodnight to the moon before falling into the land of dreams.

…

Azul woke up the next day, but his excitement morphed into worry and then panic. He didn’t feel the pull. He didn’t hear the song. He was supposed to wake up on his sixth birthday and feel the pull and hear his soul match’s song, but there was nothing. Nothing but silence and his own thoughts and racing heart. He buried himself back into his cocoon, tears starting to threaten to fall.

“Azul, honey?” His mother poked her head into his room and saw that he was still in his bed. “Come on, love, time to get up. I made your favourite breakfast! Azul?” Her chipper tone toned down as she heard the small sniffles, and instantly was at her son’s side, holding out her hand if he wanted to hold on to it. “I’m here if you want to talk, baby.”

Azul slowly pulled the blankets down, eyes bloodshot from crying, and a bit of ink leaking out. “It didn’t happen, mama,” his voice cracked, and he let out a little cough. “Why didn’t it happen?”

Ms. Ashengrotto wiped away some of the stray tears and gently held his face. “That…” she paused, trying to come up with something that would help him but also be true. “That happens sometimes, love. It doesn’t always happen exactly on everyone’s sixth birthday. It might mean that they aren’t here yet.”

Azul rubbed at his nose, “But Rielle said-”

“Tch, tch. Last time I checked Rielle is Rielle, and you are Azul, my sweet, smart, and charming Azul.” She placed a kiss on each cheek, earning a small giggle in return. “So ignore Rielle. It will happen eventually Azul. Besides, you’ll always have me. Now, would you like some breakfast as we wait?”

Azul grabbed onto his mother’s hand, “Maybe just a little…”

And they swam hand in hand towards the kitchen, but both of their minds and hearts weighed heavy at what this could possibly mean.

… ... ...

Azul sat at his desk in the Mostro Lounge VIP room, going over some contracts even though the new school year hadn’t even started yet. Normally, he would be more smug about the whole ordeal, but his mind was elsewhere, wandering. No matter what contract he tried to make to find his soul match, it would always lead to nothing, nothing but a bitter feeling and a restless night of sleep. Ever since he turned six all those years ago, he still hasn’t felt the magnetic pull or heard the song play in his heart that he overheard others talk excitedly about. Perhaps it was a lost cause… Perhaps he was meant to spend this lifetime alone… Perhaps he wasn’t good enough for someone despite all he has accomplished…

A familiar rapping at the door caught his attention. Pulling himself out of his rapidly tunnel-visioning thoughts, Azul dusted himself off and straightened up his appearance. There’s no use in dwelling in the past and on what-ifs, there are more important dealings at hand. “Come in.”

“Azul, the carriages have started arriving,” Jade spoke, opening the door.

Azul adjusted the hood on his robe and joined Jade in walking towards the mirror chamber in silence. Floyd was probably off somewhere looking for a source of amusement while the house wardens and vice wardens saw that their new underclassmen got situated. As long as he didn’t have to repay for damages he didn’t mind what shenanigans the other Leech twin got into since it could always be smoothed over at a later date.

As he was walking down the stairs though, he nearly fell, pausing dead in his tracks and clutching onto the bannister. Something was pulling at him so strongly that he nearly toppled over. And he could hear singing so loud that he could almost hear nothing else save for his own rapidly increasing heartbeat. His soul match. He wasn’t alone. Everything else seemed to disappear, nothing else mattered. But the moment of shock, awe, and soul-shattering happiness of finally knowing that there was finally someone out there, broke. Shattered into a thousand pieces. If it was happening now that would mean… it would mean that his soul match just entered into the world. That happiness morphed into bitterness. He would be at least seventeen years their senior, and he instantly felt ill.

Jade had noticed the odd behaviour and stood there waiting and watching. Seeing the different emotions flash across Azul’s eyes. “Hmm? Something the matter?” A coy smile slowly made its way onto his face, amused at whatever had caused the brief moment of clumsiness.

Azul’s face flushed blue, but he cleared his throat and continued on, ignoring the stare that was practically searing a hole at the back of his head. “Nothing for you to be concerned with,” he stated cooly. He was anything but cool though, quite the opposite really. He wanted nothing more than to retreat back to his office, even considering hiding away in his octopot after all of these years. Jade, however, did not need to be privy to any of this, lest Azul wanted to be teased for admitting to such a thing. “Now, let’s move along. We shouldn’t be late.”

The magnetic pull and song did not stop, if anything it kept on growing stronger. Azul had to grit his teeth to avoid his carefully crafted mask from falling. But there was a small part of him that wanted nothing more than to follow the pull, to find them. A part of him reasoned that soul matches were not always one type of relationship, some are purely platonic whereas others took on a more familial role, like what his mother told him many years ago. But no one was the wiser of his thoughts as he entered the mirror chamber, people more focused on first-day nerves and sorting out their new charges.

“New students,” he started, putting on a welcoming yet calculating smile. “Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement. As dorm leader of Octavinelle House, I am honoured to have the opportunity to support you in what I hope will be a fulfilling campus experience.” He looked around the new sea of faces that would call Octavinelle home. That’s odd though, the headmage seems to not be here.

Other dorm heads started muttering about the headmage’s absence, but soon enough he appeared, dragging along some grey creature and a new student in their robes. Azul winced, the song was deafening and despite how hard he tried, he couldn’t focus on what was being said.

But upon hearing, “I sense no magical powers from this one. Soundless. Colourless,” that piqued his interest and the song faltered slightly. “Shapeless. Utterly vacant. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate.”

But the moment of silence was ruined, trying into chaos, since the grey creature decided to get loose and spew blue fire everywhere.

“Everyone,” Riddle shouted, “get down!”

The others were not much help, taking to bickering amongst themselves or trying (and failing in some cases) to not get licked by the flames.

Azul cleared his throat, “Allow me to handle this, Headmage Crowley. If none of you are up to the task of catching a small animal, I will accept the responsibility.” He would recount to others that he remembered the proceedings of that day, but he would be lying, as he could only recount the pull and the song that made it hard to hear or focus on anything else. Even the snarky banter with Riddle was forgotten. It was only the song that occupied his thoughts.

… ...

The song had quietened since it first showed up, now just a constant humming in his head. The pull though would vary in strength, meaning that his soul match was closer to him. He wanted nothing more than to run to them, but he knew better than to go into this blindly. He told himself that he would wait for six years, and talk to their guardian about him being in their life as a familial bond. The only inkling that Azul was thinking all of this was the occasional far-off look in his eyes, or singing the same song under his breath.

“That’s new,” Jade hummed.

Azul faltered, realizing that he had been singing his soul match’s song unknowingly. “I suppose it is,” he said, measuring his actions carefully. He knew that Jade would see through any lies he attempted, so he knew that telling the truth was a far better option. It would just have to be handpicked truths though, as to make sure not to lay everything bare, as he wasn’t ready for that yet. “I heard it recently and haven’t been able to get it out of my head.”

Jade placed a cup of tea on the desk, careful to avoid any papers that were strewn about. “That so? I don’t recognize it.” His smile turned sharp, calculating, but he tampered it down to something more cold and polite. “Perhaps we can find the person who made this song?”

Azul stopped what he was doing, and looked at Jade with a raised brow. “There is no need for such… drastic measures,” he said, wanting nothing more than to hide away. Of course that damned eel would notice his off behaviour and put two and two together. “Besides,” he brushed himself off, “it would be foolish.”

“It would be foolish not to,” Jade replied. Soon the sharp smile returned, “Speaking of fools, there has been talk of the new Prefect of Ramshackle. Apparently, they have… won over Riddle and Leona. And they seem to keep rather interesting company as well. They seem intriguing.”

Azul pushed up his glasses and faintly recalled the face of the Ramshackle Prefect from the mirror chamber. “The magicless Prefect? And by company you mean those two first-years in Heartslabyul and that cat creature? Hmm, they did just sign these the other day.” He pulls out the three contracts, looking up at his friend(?), fellow business associate(?). “And that dorm, as… rustic as it is would work wonderfully for our latest business venture.” A small smug smile starts to bloom. “Let’s see how foolish they can be.”

… ... ...

When Azul overblotted, the song returned, practically screaming in his head, and the pull felt like he was next to a black hole. That’s all he really remembers from the incident, the rest of it being filled in by the others. But why was the song so loud? How was the pull so strong? He groaned, dragging his hands across his face. “Why is this happening,” he breathed out, staring up at the ceiling of his room. “Why now?”

And on top of all of this, the largest full moon of the year is happening next week, just his luck. At least the professors were understanding and gave the merfolk the week off of studies, and even if they could attend classes, everyone would have been too distracted to focus on the subject material. Perhaps he could take this week and work on revising the Lounge’s menu.

He sighed, it was no use trying to get any sleep at this rate. “Sea Witch,” he huffed, “why did you spin me this fate?” No one answered, just the calm light of the moon falling down from above, painting everything in cool silvers and blues. Perhaps a walk around campus would help clear his swimming thoughts and allow him to at least get a few hours of decent sleep before his first class of the day.

As he walked through the empty halls, Azul hummed the song that never ceased in his mind. He let the gentle pull of his soul match guide him. He knew it would lead somewhere, and he would stop himself from going any further if he felt it get too strong. What he wasn’t expecting was to hear someone else humming the exact tune, the same lyrics, harmonizing perfectly with his, echoing off of the corridors from out of site.

Both parties stopped. The gentle tugging now felt like a gravitational pull. And Azul was conflicted; should he continue ahead or turn back? His soul match had just happened this year, if they had indeed just entered into this world they shouldn’t be here, at the college, let alone at this hour. And by the tone of their humming, he would guess that they were around his age, not an infant as he first thought. Then why did it take so long for the song and pull to happen? What did that mean?

But the hurried footsteps which fled in the opposite direction of him were an indicator enough; they weren’t ready. They didn't want to meet him.

A lump formed in his throat. His soul match was here? For all this time? At the school? A slight panic arose. Did they know? Were they able to tell who he was based on the faint humming? Is that why they ran away? Because they knew and wanted nothing to do with him? After all this time why should he think any differently? Of course, his soul match would choose to run away from him. Why wouldn’t they? After his overblot, he wouldn’t expect them to stay. If he were them, he would have run away as well, far far away. He couldn’t blame them. He would have run away from himself too.

… ... ...

The week of the full moon came far sooner than Azul would have wanted. Instead of going home as many of the others did, he stayed, holing himself up in one of the private pools in the Octavinelle dorm during the day or his office when nighttime came around. Of course, he wasn’t so lucky to be the only one who stayed. Jade and Floyd had stayed to ‘keep him company’, but he knew that they only stayed to tease him even though they had their soul matches out there somewhere.

“Jade told me that you’ve been humming a little song,” speak of one the devils. Floyd poked his head into the crevice that Azul had crammed himself into at the deep end of the pool. “So you’ve been hiding the little siren song from us, that’s not fairr!~ Come on, sing, Azul!”

Azul glared at the intruding twin, “It has nothing for you to be concerned with.” He tried to push Floyd out of his personal space, but he just took it as a challenge to try and shimmy his way in further. “I don’t meddle in your… affairs,” he hissed, finally having enough of the meddling eel-mer and punching him in the gut with a tentacle, shooting him out of the rocky cavern and his personal space. “Now leave me alone!”

“Eh? Tch, whatever, you’re no fun like this, moping about,” Floyd pouted. His eyes soon lit up though, and he turned to his brother who was lurking in the background. “We should grab Little Shrimpy tonight! I wonder how they would react if we pulled them in for a swim?~”

Jade chuckled, “Their reaction would be quite amusing I imagine.” He swam over to Azul’s hiding crevice, and shot him a look that he knew too well; he was planning something, something that was sure to give him a headache.

Floyd swam about excitedly, twisting and turning, turning up the sand at the bottom and clouding up the water. “Swimming with Shrimpyyyy,” he sang with glee. “Heh heh, wonder if Shrimpy has their own song?~ Eh, but humans only have the song if their match is a mer…”

Azul groaned, what with Floyd’s babbling and the song being stubbornly loud today, he could feel the beginnings of a migraine. Why couldn’t there be large enough pools in their bedrooms so he could avoid all of this? “Seven’s, put me out of my misery,” he grumbled to himself.

“Ah, Azul,” Jade tutted, “we can’t have that now. After all, your match is around here, somewhere.” That earned the eel a tentacle punch as well, much like his brother. “No need to be rude now. We’re just trying to help is all.” But that smug shit-eating grin of his said otherwise. “Floyd, let’s go, the sun is setting. We’ll retrieve the Prefect closer to dawn.”

And finally, Azul was left alone. But the brief moment of peace was broken, hissing in pain. The transformation was happening. Upon completion, he poked his head out, making sure that the coast was clear before making his way towards his office and bolting the door shut. “At last,” he sighed, sagging against one of the sofas. “Some peace and quiet.”

As he busied himself with revising contracts, the day’s earnings, and going over notes on what subject matter to study for an upcoming test. But he wasn’t all there. Despite how hard he tried, he couldn’t ignore the song, and the tugging was strongest during this week. But after that night, when he heard them run away, he didn’t know if he wanted to find them anymore. What if this… whatever it is that the Sea Witch gave him, wasn’t right? He could have been content eventually, content with knowing that he didn’t have a soul match out there. But this, knowing and having one but having heard them run away before he could properly meet them? That was almost worse. He would always know that they were out there, and they had run away before even really getting to know him. Could they have been happy? Could they have been a friend? Could they have been like family? Could they have been… in love?

Eventually, he had to return to the pool, as he didn’t want anyone seeing him crawl back in his mer-form. When he got back he noticed the twins were still gone, but they would be back eventually, so he took this time to properly stretch out. Yes, being in tight spaces gave him a sense of security, but it felt nice to stretch out his tentacles and relax without worrying about someone interrupting him or making a rude comment. It felt nice to take up space.

“Come on, Shrimpy!” Floyd’s yelling alerted him, and he quickly went down to his hiding crevice before he was spotted. “Let’s go for a swim!~”

The door to the pool room opened with a loud bang, Floyd carrying the Ramshackle Prefect over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Even from under the water, Azul could hear them shrieking in protest. “FLOYD! Put me down!”

He hid further in his hiding spot, not wanting them to see him like this. He also clutched his hands over his ears, the song only increasing more and more. And the tugging at his soul grew even stronger.

Jade was of no help, just watching the chaos ensue. You shot him a glare, but he just chuckled at the action.

“Eh? Okay then, Shrimpy, if you insist,” Floyd got that familiar glean in his eyes, the kind that meant no good.

“Floyd, do not throw me! Don’t you dare throw me,” but he had already made the decision for you, and you could do nothing to stop him. He threw you into the pool, following suit by splashing in after you, drenching Jade in the process who shot his twin the side eye. “Why?” You seethed.

Floyd swam up beside you, now in his mer-form. “Cuz it’s more fun like this,” he sang, poking your cheek with the tip of a claw. “Right, Jade?!”

Jade was now also in the pool and swimming towards you. “While I wouldn’t personally throw them in, it was quite amusing.”

“You two are awful,” you sighed, giving into your fate. Despite being just thrown in, the water was quite pleasant but you wouldn’t admit it, since they would tease you mercilessly. Jade chuckled, and Floyd gave you a large smile, but neither of them denied the statement.

You went and laid on your back, floating and staring at the ceiling. To others, it would look like you were relaxing, but you did this not to relax, but rather to stay afloat. As you felt like an anchor was trying to pull you into the dark depths of the pool. There was nothing pulling you down physically though, and other odd things have also happened since you showed up at Night Raven College. Yes, a world filled with magic, merfolk, fae, and beastmen was quite the shocker, but none of that explained why you felt like something was always pulling you towards something, and the same song kept on playing in your head. And now, alongside the pulling, it was the loudest it has ever been, even louder than during Azul’s overblot when it felt like it was rupturing your eardrums. But it was more pleasant this time, not painful.

You hummed, “Just curious, but does everyone hear… a song in their head on repeat all the time?”

Floyd stopped splashing about and was in your face in a millisecond. “SHRIMPYYY!!!” And he tackled you into a hug that would definitely be leaving some bruises later. You should have been used to this kind of behaviour, but you still winced with him nearly screaming in your ear and the pressure of his squeezing.

Jade had also swam into your personal bubble, eyes filled with curiosity. “Oh, that’s rather strange. Have you always heard this little song of your’s, Prefect?”

You wiggled out of Floyd’s grasp, sputtering out some wayward water that had managed to get into your mouth, leaving behind the taste of salt. “No,” you grimaced, spitting out some more water. “Which is why I’m asking.”

Azul peered up, this exchange catching his attention, but still kept himself hidden.

“It means you have a soul match!~” Floyd giggled.

You frowned, “A soul match? Never heard of that.”

“A soul match is something rather common here,” Jade said. “For humans, it is quite rare. It is far more common in beastmen, fae and merfolk. The fact that you have such a bond is…” he paused for a moment, “rather interesting.”

You heaved yourself out of the water, as you didn’t feel comfortable staying in the pool what with the pulling and the off chance that it did eventually pull you underwater never to surface again. “Cryptic as always, Jade,” you raise a brow at the eel-mer. “Just answer the question please.”

Jade put a hand over his heart, “Oh, how you wound me.” He saw you roll your eyes, and he decided to elaborate on your request. “Mers are gifted soul matches by the Sea Witch. A song rests in the heart, calling out to the one who completes the harmony. Their match pulls at them, as the moon does the tide.” He leaned in close, eyes flashing. “So, to answer your question, Prefect-”

“Shrimpy’s match is a mer!!!” Floyd interrupted with glee, throwing his arms out, splashing you in the process.

Jade sighed at his brother’s antics. “Which is what I was going to say before you interrupted me, but he is correct. You have a soul match with a mer.”

You blinked in confusion. You, with a merperson? “But why? How,” you questioned, looking at your reflection in the water. Why me?

“That, I believe, is for you to discover on your own,” Jade hummed. You shot him the side eye. “Oh, don’t give me such a look, Prefect, you know I can’t give away everything. Besides,” he peered down into the depths, “if you follow the tug, and sing the song, you will find them eventually.”

With that, Jade dove into the depths, calling Floyd to follow him. You were left alone at the edge of the pool, with nothing else to accompany you but your dripping clothes and racing thoughts. And of course, the song that played in your head.

… ...

Somehow that night, Jade and Floyd had managed to pry Azul away from his desk and paperwork.

“Leave me alone,” he protested, glaring at them. “Go look for your soul matches without me!”

Floyd flung his arm across Azul’s shoulder, effectively trapping him into joining along. “But Azulll, we should find them together!~” Why did he insist on being so? So?! So annoying?! “Plus, I wanna see the look on your face when you see them for the first time! Maybe you’ll turn blue, or even spew ink!~”

Why did he befriend these two again? “I will do no such thing!” His voice cracked, going up an octave and he felt his face flush. And Floyd wore an even larger grin, poking at his cheek.

“See! Already proving to be fun!” He ran ahead suddenly, leaving Azul alone with Jade.

Azul massaged his temple, trying to regain whatever composure he had left. Didn’t he just say they would be searching for their soul matches together? Why in the Sea Witch’s name did he just run off without them?

Jade walked behind him, making sure he couldn’t just return back to his office and hide for the night. “Floyd is just a bit excitable is all,” he answered Azul’s silent question. But he knew that the eel was plotting something.

The pulling was getting stronger, and the song blocked out everything else. Azul had to close his eyes and dig his nails into his hands. He was not running away. He wasn’t the same little octo-mer that hid away from the world.

Just as soon as he had left, Floyd was back, and he had a tag-along. “And Shrimpy is joining us in the hunt!~”

Without thinking, both Azul and you stepped forward, being drawn together by an invisible force. And suddenly everything was silent. Sing. Azul’s mouth opened and shut, but nothing came out. He didn’t have to start though, as you sang the first notes, and he joined in. The two of you stood there, humming your harmony. And all those thoughts that plagued his mind earlier vanished, knowing that you were the right one. That the Sea Witch knew that you were the only one for him.

…

Bonus!

Jade and Floyd looked at the two of you curiously, with Jade having to hold back Floyd from interrupting the tender moment.

“Wondering if Shrimpy will stay human or decide to turn into a mer,” Floyd whispered to Jade. “Would they be a shrimp or octo-mer, to match with Azul?”

Jade turned his attention away from the two soul matches, “That’s for them and Azul to decide, we shouldn’t meddle.”

Floyd shot him a pout, “But when you meddle it’s fine? How did you even know they were soul matches in the first place?”

“It wasn’t all that hard,” he quipped. “I heard the Prefect sing some of the lyrics under their breath, and I also heard Azul quietly singing them as well.”

“See, meddling.~” Floyd looked at his brother expectantly, “Well, what were they?”

Jade looked at you and Azul, still humming the song to each other, a soft smile coming to rest on his face. “I believe it was, ‘Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down.’ Quite sweet if you think about it.”

Floyd also smiled, looking at the two soul matches. “Heh, it suits them.~”

. . . . .

Fin!

Now I dare you to read this again, knowing full well what the song is, because I swear it will make you see it in a different light and have you cracking up in parts. Please don't kill me, love you!

Rainy Nights

Summary: Your bookstore date is going well until it starts to rain and your octo-boyfriend, who's afraid of storms, is eager to leave and go home

Azul Ashengrotto x male/gn reader, reader can drive, Azul is afraid of storms, both are out of school and implied to live together

A/N: I ended up having to drive home from the bookstore in absolute downpour, like to the point where I could barley see the road, and of course I thought of a writing idea instead of focusing on the road

You had been itching to go to a bookstore lately, one of those feelings that you just can't get rid of. Between a constant work schedule constantly keeping you on your feet and taking up your time, focusing on studies, and making sure you could pay the bills to at least have running water in your apartment, you hadn't had the time to take the little trip you so desperately wanted.

This trip you wanted to take wasn't only for you either. Your octo-boyfriend had been working so hard lately running his own business and making sure the two of you could stay comfortable in your shared apartment. You wanted to do something nice for him and make sure he wasn't overworking himself.

After talking together and figuring out both of your schedules, you finally found a good day where both of you would be free for the rest of the day once Azul had gotten back from work. Planning out your schedule for the day, you got yourself ready in a nice outfit. Not anything over the top, but still cute and in your style. Perfect for your little bookstore date. Once he returned home, Azul found you sitting on the couch, perfect and ready to go.

"well aren't you excited to go?" he asked teasingly

You stood up, doing a little jump from the heel of your foot to show just exactly excited you were to head out "Oh come on, go get ready. I'll be right here when you're done."

When he came back in more casual clothes, he even made sure you two matched at least a little bit, you were standing there bouncing up and down, car keys in hand.

When you both went to NRC together and weren't dating just yet, you never saw Azul outside of his school uniform and suit he wore for the mostro lounge. Seeing him in more casual clothes was something you slowly got used to as the two of you grew closer.

You got into the driver's seat of the car and immediately turned the ac on, due to the hot summer day, as Azul got into the passengers seat. It made sense between the two of you that you drove instead of him, due to his lack of knowledge of cars growing up in the sea.

You drove in silence, quiet music playing through the radio. It was an unspoken thing between the two of you that you didn't really talk while driving except for small comments and giving directions. It wasn't like it was awkward, it was a comfortable silence that ensured you could focus on the road.

The bookstore you wanted to go to was in a small outdoor mall, so you navigated through all the other stores and parked outside the rather large and popular bookstore. By that point it started to rain slightly, so you both sprinted inside the store giving each other a small laugh, a laugh you loved dearly, and wiped off your shoes.

The familiar smell of books and coffee filled your nose and you could feel the excitement bubbling up.

You really did try to stick with Azul while browsing, but it was basically inevitable that you'd split up with your different tastes. You had to pick up the new volumes of your favorite manga after all.

While looking, you passed a small pride section, which made sense due to the month. The feeling of acceptance made you smile slightly. In the section was a book with a cartoon cover. A masc figure sat at the edge of a pool with a merman in the water looking back up at him. Of course the scene reminded of you and your mer-boyfriend and you couldn't help but giggle slightly.

After about fifteen minutes of browsing, while you were slightly crouching down looking at an interesting looking book, you felt a hand on your shoulder and came face to face with Azul. He was carrying two books, a larger hard copy and a smaller soft cover. "Had enough yet?"

"I'd say I'm just about done." you replied while putting the book you were looking at back, deciding to leave it for next time. He gave you a small smile before walking to the front.

While at the front you both picked up a few nice looking bookmarks, and you even picked out a few pride pins matching your identity. Happy pride month after all.

While you were just finishing off paying for both your and Azul's books, much to his disagreement because he "wanted to be a gentleman" and pay for your books instead, the sky was lit up and the familiar thunder followed. There was a moment of silence and you turned to see your boyfriend completely tense.

Giving him a small smile, an attempt at being comforting, you take his hand into yours and walk to the front of the store, bag in your other hand. Before leaving the store and walking back out into the rain, you gave his hand an affirming squeeze.

You both rushed back to your car in the rain, quickly getting into your seats and throwing the bag into the back seat. You let out a small laugh and the adrenaline and saw Azul relax in the corner of your eye at the sound. His relaxation was cut short quickly by another flash of light and crash.

You let out a small sigh and turned on the car, slowly backing out and starting the twenty minute journey back home.

As usual it was quiet. Your unspoken rule. The rain was coming down even harder, to the point where it was getting hard to see the yellow and white lines.

Azul was still sitting stiff next to you. With no words, but an action that meant almost everything to him, you took one hand off the wheel, making sure to slow down a bit to be more careful with the loss of some control, and placed it on his arm. You could almost immediately feel him start to relax under your touch.

The cool breeze still came form the ac of the car, making the both of you feel a little more calm along with the small amount of music coming from the low volume radio.

While you couldn't exactly understand how or why Azul is so afraid of storms, you could always make a guess. Storms had never been pretty on land, but you remember being younger, seeing how the ocean looked after a rough storm. It was terrifying. You couldn't even imagine what it looked like under the surface.

You can clearly remember the first night you spent together when a storm hit. He had come over to ramshackle after he decided he was done dealing with the eel twins. Once the strong winds and rain had started, he curled up into your embrace and stayed that way for the entire night. You can still hear the teasing from Floyd after the twins came to get him the next morning.

After a few more minutes of driving while not being able to see very well and encouraging arm rubbing, you arrived at your shared apartment. It was still silent as you both got out of the car, bag of books in hand, and reached your door. Azul sat down while you went to your shared bedroom to change into something more comfortable. When you came back he had sorted your books and was reading the smaller of the two he had bought on the couch, still a bit tense.

You walked into your small kitchen and made a cup of your and Azul's favorite hot drink. You came back into the living room, setting the two mugs down, and sat next to him. After turning on the tv and putting on your favorite "background noise show" at a low volume, you leaned back on the sofa, and pulled Azul into your embrace.

He tensed again at first but relaxed into your hold, still reading his book. You tried reading one of the books you had gotten, but ended up getting distracted running your hands through his hair and sipping your warm drink. After what could have been a half hour and hour, Azul had fallen asleep, completely safe with you. You set down your drink and shifted to be laying down on the sofa and holding him closer, slowly drifting off into sleep with him, just like the night at ramshackle, but without the teasing in the morning.

Songs from musicals go hard while writing fanfiction apparently, ty for reading. Have a nice day.

𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐋 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐘𝐔𝐔 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐈 (𝐁𝐒𝐃)

DISCALIMER! : TWISTED WONDERLAND AND BUNGO STRAY DOGS BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS!

CHARACTERS : 𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐋 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐎

WARNINGS : SOMEWHAT OOC CHARACTERS, CURSING, AND MENTIONS OF GRAPHIC VIOLENCE. [READER WILL BE REFERRED TO AS YUU] ENGLISH ISN’T MY FIRST LANGUAGE SO PLEASE DON’T MIND MY GRAMMAR OR SPELLING.

WORD COUNT! : 3.4 k

Setting the stage : Yuu had been trying to get some food for dinner after finishing another successful case, it had been a tiring day but giving the victim’s family a sense of closure truly made all the effort put in the case all worth it.

Yuu looked down after hearing a loud grumbling sound coming from their stomach and pouted while patting the stomach that was acting like a starved madman as if they hadn’t eaten a whole buffet yesterday.

Then just as they were about to cross the street the sound of horses and a carriage coming at a quick speed quickly brought them back to earth as they felt their whole body completely freeze up in place—as if something had been forcefully keeping it in place while the carriage came closer seemingly having no intention to stop anytime soon.

That had been the last thing they remembered before Yuu had woken up inside a coffin. It hadn’t taken them long to simply forcefully and easily kick the door down with their strength that enabled it all more easily.

They had woken up in quite the strange circumstances, but they were more worried about going home and finally eating than figuring out why a small feline that made them remember Ms.Haruno’s cat wanted the robes that they didn’t remember putting on.

Could it be they had put it on and just didn’t remember?

Either way it seemed like the feline wanted the cat more desperately than they did so it wasn’t too much of a problem to give it to him. Right after, Yuu had been planning on asking for some directions to the Armed Detective Agency but before they had the time to open up their mouth the cat had snatched the robe from their hands and flung himself to the coffin they had just walked out off.

“Huh.” Must be another city-folk thing they couldn’t understand yet.

Yuu didn’t think much of it, deciding that the cat was probably having a bad day so decided to go along with the next best option, exploring the place for themselves to be able to leave.

A familiar grin quickly formed in their face while their steps had a certain skip on them.

But after the day had ended they had realized that perhaps leaving and getting back to the Armed Detective Agency would take longer than they had expected.

#—𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐋 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐎

His first impression of Yuu had been of another troublemaker that had been trying to have a grand entrance by skipping the entrance ceremony and bringing their familiar too only to cause mayhem didn’t exactly have the best first impression, until of course the mirror decided to drop another bomb today by saying a person they had brought here had no magic.

Someone with no magic had been brought to a school for young mages and couldn’t even be sorted into a dorm—just amazing. Yet something he personally found odd was the blinding smile the new student was obviously still wearing in their face after being told something that would probably shatter many people’s ego. It was odd for the lack of better word.

Then everything got even weirder, the familiar had managed to get out of the Headmaster’s binds and was now trying to burn the students in the assembly. Something that while easily avoidable for someone like him it was also a chance to get the upper hand he just couldn’t pass.

Azul had thought he knew how this would end—Riddle and him would work together and make a quick work of the raccoon then earn some bonus points with the headmaster. That was what was supposed to happen, until it didn’t.

Just as he had swung his pen to strike the raccoon that Riddle had managed to make it momentarily sway from side to side after running into a wall before a blur passed him by the corner of his eye and before he could react the monster had disappear from where it had previously been at. It was baffling leaving him to quickly look around trying to gauge if it could also teleport before he saw it struggling in the new magicless student’s arms.

The monster was obviously trying to swipe with his paws at the person who seemed unfazed even with fire being spit on their faces.

But that was not what had left Azul surprised but the speed and strength that someone had to have to be able to jump at that speed while also putting the needed strength to get there. Without taking the happy-go-lucky smile that of their face for even a second, it left him wondering if this person was more similar to Jade than he originally had. To always have a smile that dripped of amusement was too similar to one of the eels that found personal amusement in the struggle of others.

This had captured his attention especially with the magic-less status that seemed more null the more he thought about it. Could it be a blessing? Or a curse? Whatever it was it was something he couldn’t pinpoint—and the more Azul didn’t know the more he wanted to be aware of the situation.

And he would have tried to strike a conversation to (grill information) to get to know each other more, but was regretfully stopped by the rushed announcement from none other than the headmaster for the dormleaders to guide their new students to their respective dorms.

It lingered on the back of the merman for longer than usual before he shook it off finding no profit from letting his thought linger on something that was of no help at all.

Until of course he heard of Riddle’s overblot and eventually Leona’s too.

It was shocking hearing two different overblots happening in such a short amount of time and hearing about the new student and it’s familiar being involved in both of them too left a lot to question. It was a shame he couldn’t do any useful digging yet, as he was more focused on making the study guides for the idioti—unfortunate fools that need some extra help in their midterms. And who was he to not allow his benevolence to guide those in need of a helping hand?

But of course he also wasn’t blind to how the interaction between the leech brothers and the ramshackle perfect had gone. He was vaguely aware that they hadn’t been the only ones present in the scene however they had been the one who’s actions had been the most shocking.

According to Jade they had not only withstand one of Floyd’s (bone breaking) squeezes but had also return the favor with an admirable strength while laughing as if it had been nothing but a fun bonding activity between fellow students and not a murder attempt from the eel.

After being told that by Jade with a straight face he had almost asked if this was another attempt to make him loose his cool before remembering they had not only survived two overblots but also their easy display of strength and speed back then in the entrance ceremony.

“And you’re sure you didn’t hear any type of bone creaking?”

“I’m sure.”

“Great.”

“That’s exactly what I had thought.”

“…”

It was a new unwanted variable, but something he could work with. A cold scheming smile spread across his face as he remembered vaguely seeing two other freshman from Heartslabyul and it would be such a shame if they made a contract and just couldn’t right keep up their part of their deal. And what better way to do so than to offer his gracious help in the academic exams that were soon coming and of course if that wasn’t of interest there was also different things he could bargain for. As long as gif the information of how exactly a human had managed to gain that sort of strength.

Now it was only a matter of time before everything fell into place.

…It seemed like things going the ways they were supposed to was becoming a trend when the Ramshackle prefect and their little annoying raccoon was involved. It had all started after he had successfully gotten all his targets under a contract, while the ones that had successfully succeed in their deals walked away scout free with perfect scores—the ones that couldn’t hold their end of their deal however were left with the less than pleasant consequences.

While Azul had been giving his speech his eyes caught the eyes of a person who he hadn’t remembered to have invited nor signed a contract with. But having had their friends under a contract it was (not) expected for them to come, unlike most NRC students which would have not batted an eyelash at their friends’ demise if it meant they didn’t get caught in the wildfire.

Their next interaction has been with another Savanaclaw student next to them making those two have an almost comical difference in expression. While one had a disgusted expression the other one was smiling like nothing was wrong in the world even if they were supposedly here to bargain for their friends’ freedom. Azul had been pleasantly surprised how smoothly everything had went. He thought it would require a more forceful approach.

Thankfully it seemed that the prefect had been happily satisfied with the chance of saving their friends even going as far to say, “It sounds like a sweet deal to me! And even if we do fail I have enough experience to live outdoors!” And respectfully the merman thought somebody had to be out of their marbles to even consider the option of living in outdoor land—of course outdoor sea was another thing completely.

Then his overblot had happened.

He was ashamed to admit that it had even happened—a moment of weakness which just by the twins retell (which they took a lot of sadistic pleasure on doing again and again) became more embarrassing after realizing who had the greatest hand in taking him down before doing something he could have regretted for life. (don’t people know how many opportunities having a manslaughter looks in your resume?)

The prefect had once again demonstrated their outstanding strength by actually wrestling him down while avoiding being grabbed by one of his tentacles at the same time. According to the eels it had been an amazing sight to witness, Floyd looked a little too excited saying that so it wouldn’t surprised him if the twin would soon start asking for more squeezes from the Ramshackle resident.

But did he still remember who had been the first person he saw after waking up from the nurse’s office? Perhaps a little too much. The prefect had been waiting next to his resting bed while sitting on a chair seemingly to be somewhat worried before seeing him waking up which prompted for a smile too cheery to appear on their face.

“This would have been easier if Ms. Yosano were here.” Was what Azul had thought to first hear after opening his eyes but it wasn’t something he necessarily focused on. Instead he tried bearing with the overwhelming headache that assaulted him as soon as he woke up from the lights that were coming from the open curtain window.

But that didn’t last long either as in the next second they had quickly been closed by who he first had guessed was the nurse before actually opening his eyes and looking straight at the relieved smile from the ‘magic-less’ student.

That was when his mind had connected the voice with a face and worse of it all a blurry memory of blot running down his face and overwhelming emotions that made him act…probably not the most decent way. But it did left go question why in the world was this person here, he narrowed his eyes at them now wondering if this was going to be a bragging session for letting himself overblot.

“You’re alright! I’m so glad…” Yuu mumbled having first started with a louder tone of voice before seeing the flinch and annoyed glare of Azul from his resting position.

“You—you are here?” The question stumbled out of his mouth faster than he could process it. If anybody asked, it had mostly to do with the tiredness and anesthesia that he had just been out of (there had been no anesthesia involved) and remembering the amount of contracts that had gone to waste for the effort of the one in front of him and the other spoiled beastmen made his blood pressure rise to dangerous levels.

He watched warily how the person in front of him kept smiling without as so much as a twitch. It almost drove him to the edge.

“Of course! I was worried about your condition.”

“What do you want?”

“Eh?”

“I’ll repeat this only once, what is it you wish to achieve from this.” Azul repeated with a colder tone now that he had quickly figured out what this interaction had been for since the very beginning. Either as a way of revenge or getting something out of him after his embarrassing actions he was not going to let another moment of weakness be shown to anyone.

“What I want? Why does that matter now?” Azul narrowed his eyes suspiciously wondering if this was a way to make the atmosphere more suspenseful so when the bomb hits it would be more impactful. He watched waiting for anything other than his suspicious to show what this person wanted but nothing was given away except a confused smile sent in his way.

“You fainted not too long ago and that doesn’t even matter to me! But you need to lay down—the nurse said your situation was fragile. So save your breath!” It seemed like his input in the conversation was unwanted because in the next second the perfect had forcefully manhandled him into a fully resting position instead of his former sitting position without minding Azul’s complains.

With a show of strength that reminded him of the previous fears that the Ramshackle resident had shown.

“But—” His sentence had been interrupted by the flying raccoon who had opened the door loudly without care for those who were currently trying to rest while calling out for his supposed ‘henchman’.

“Ack! He’s already awake?! He woke up even faster than Riddle…”

Azul wondered if the monster thought that he couldn’t hear his not-whispered words and remembered the previous amount of intelligence that was shown in their previous interactions quickly made him realize that it was probably the case scenario currently happening.

“Eh? Grim!” The elated voice of the ramshackle prefect filled his ears as they practically smothered the flying monster with a hug that was probably too tight if the reaction of the raccoon was anything to go by.

Azul coughed in his fist to hide the laughter that threatened to spill after hearing the strangled ‘henchmen’ that fell from the cat’s mouth.

It went like this for quite some time before Yuu seemed to remember something and quickly usher Grim out while telling him to wait for a moment in the hallway which gave him the cue that this was probably when the demand for his service would soon be demanded.

But what he wasn’t prepared for was for the picture that he had requested to be obtained from the museum to be delicately placed on his lap by the perfect making him snap his eyes back to Yuu with stunned shock. There was a thin silence that covered the room that only they shared.

There was something tight in his chest as he quickly took the picture and kept it out of both his and the ramshackle’s resident’s eyes it was a reaction made almost in instinct which he knew didn’t escape the other person’s eyes. But he was more stunned that he was even allowed to have it in his possession after what he had done (he knew if it were him in their place he would not have let it slide) it left him unsure of what to feel or do really.

“I broke our contract didn’t I? I didn’t think Mister Leona was going to take such action but it’s still no excuse. So I wanted to at least keep my part of the deal by giving you this.” Azul was still surprised to see and hear what was being said to him from the person he had almost successfully left homeless. It also left him wondering if he was hallucinating but that was for another time.

“I’m not sure why you want it—I almost considered not getting it knowing that Mister Kunikida would have been mad after hearing a member of the detective agency took such a risk and stole something from museum of all things,” Azul quickly became invested and aware of the detective part that was unexpected and new information he had no idea about till now, “But I also know he would understand if he knew the reason why I did it.”

He just couldn’t wrap his head around the utterly soft expression they wore while talking. So open, he just couldn’t understand why anyone would let themselves be this vulnerable with anyone—especially those who they knew not for long.

Azul stayed silent throughout the whole time they were speaking and was left to contemplate some things.

“Well that’s all! See you soon!” With a couple pats in his shoulders they left with a skip in their steps leaving him once again dumbfounded.

‘Detective agency?’

‘What an…odd person.’ He thought as he gripped with some strength the picture that he currently has in his possession. The picture that was the only thing that was still proving his previous vulnerability and weakness he once had. It left him confused why the usual triumph didn’t come as easy as it usually did.

After that interaction and some reconsideration of how he would get around the temporary setback from the headmaster Azul decided that perhaps it was time to give a visit to the dearest prefect with of course only the intent to know more about this supposed agency of detectives they worked at and to make sure they didn’t divulgue any unwanted rumors. Nothing else of course! (“Whaaa~? Ahaha! Look Jade! Azul is looking for excuses!” “Oho~! That seems to be the case, Floyd.” “Shut it you two!”)

And of course the only thing that made him go back again and again to ramshackle was how interesting the stories that the prefect had about their job could be. Nothing else, which was why he had bribed their cat (“THE NAME’S GRIM!”) with a supplement of tuna even while knowing he could still come back anytime thanks to the actual owner of the residence. The same reason still applied as to why when he saw how the Ramshackle prefect was struggling with some subjects he offered his services as a tutor for the price of more information, nothing else of course!

It was more investing than he liked to admit, how was someone simply able to walk of hits that were supposed to be fatal? And this so called ‘abilities’ which he quickly connected to Signature spells with different rules and restrictions. While it had been hard to distinguish the actual occurrences with all the special sound effect from the prefect it was still something entertaining. He wondered how much weigh the prefect could hold on their own—but that was better saved for another time.

And with the condition in which Ramshackle currently was (one breath away from tumbling down, truly how did Yuu simply laugh it off every time it was brought up?) perhaps the best thing to do was to invite the prefect to have their usual talks in the Mostro Lounge which had finally finished being under construction after having some of its structures used as a weapon by none other than the person who he was currently planning to invite over. And if the cat wanted to be included he could arrange for him to have a nice chat with Floyd as well.

All for the sake of better investment in the conversation of course. Nothing else and nothing more…

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING! I KNOW I PROBABLY LEFT OUT SOME OTHER KENJI’S CHARACTERISTICS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED BUT NOT A LOT OF SITUATIONS CAME TO MIND WHERE I COULD DEVELOP IT—ILL PROBABLY DO A SECOND PART IF I GET THE MOTIVATION ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME AND READING THIS♥︎!

The Enemy of My Enemy is My Lover 2

Part 1 / Part 2 (here)

“You are aware Cassian is a mer, correct?” Azul asked as Jade poured a cup of tea for _.

“Thank you. Yes, I know.” _ said accepting the freshly brewed tea.

The Mostro Lounge had closed for the evening, all four of them gathered in the VIP room two days later, thirty minutes after closing, just as they had agreed upon. Well everyone except Floyd was on time, he had decide to skip the last two hours of work to go roller skating and returned ten minutes late for the meeting.

The twins were an interesting pair to them. Floyd’s “unpredictability” and Jade’s mysterious yet mischievous aura killed any potential boredom. They couldn’t wait to learn more about them.

The manager himself, Azul, somehow kept himself from being outshined by the twins which was an impressive feat in itself. He gave off a spoiled, yet had something to prove kind of energy. They had no idea what exactly he felt the need to prove, but they didn’t feel it their place to know.

“What kind of fishy is he?” Floyd asked playing with the wheels of his skates that he refused to take off, no matter how much Azul demanded.

“A greater weever.” Azul frowned adjusting his glasses.

“Oh dear, he’s got quite the venomous sting then.” Jade said amusedly as he poured himself a cup of tea.

“Yes, he sure does.” _ sighed before taking another sip of their tea.

“Physical confrontation is to be avoided at all costs. _ , do you have any idea as to why he stole your belongings and cat?” Azul said calmly looking to them as he crossed his legs and rested his head upon his intertwined hands.

“His first time on land was eight months ago, two weeks before we met. He found everything of mine to be fascinating, especially my cat, Sprinkles. I didn’t mind it all, but now I see he wanted my lifestyle more then he wanted me. I guess the wedding was the perfect opportunity to take what he wanted and make his escape.” _ said sadly placing the their cup down on the coffee table, staring deeply into the leaf water.

“That is unfortunately in character for him. Cassian stole almost everything for every achievement he ever ”earned“. Test answers, writing assignments, art projects, ideas, and just about anything you can imagine. Never an original thought in that head of his.” Azul said in a calm yet angry tone.

Even from his own partner, disgusting.

“You sure seem to know all about that weever’s wrongs, Azul. How’s that?” Floyd sat up from his previously lax position on the floor.

“I must admit I’m curious as well.” Jade stated with a smile.

“He liked to steal and copy my work the most.” Azul sighed bitterly glancing downward to the floor.

“Well, does anyone know where the bastard might have gone? It seems his karma is well overdue.” _ said, their melancholic tone turning to rage.

“Most likely, Riptide Coast south from here. That’s where most mer on land live in this area. The items and cat aren’t water friendly, so I highly doubt he went home and left everything up here. We’ll begin the search on our next meeting. How does Tuesday evening sound?” Azul said, his smile returning as straightened his posture.

“Perfect.” _ said as the two exchanged a look of mutual malicious glee.

“Can’t wait for some action! Right Jade?” Floyd laughed.

“I couldn’t agree more, Floyd.” Jade smiled.

tag: @azulashengrottospiano

Just in case it wasn't clear: Azul asking if they knew why Cassian stole from them, while knowing Cassian is a thief is intentional. He's searching for a motive for Cassian to steal from what was his partner at the time.

OCTAVINELLE HEADCANONS:

The series: DIASOMNIA / HEARTSLABYUL / OCTAVINELLE / POMEFIORE / SAVANACLAW

I refer to the trio as bubble guppies (just so you guys know)

- there's a 5050 chance he will confess his feelings. Like I strongly believe it depends on the situation and his mood, but he may just blurt out his feelings or simply not say a word. I guess you'll just have to wait and find out

- since valentine's approaching, let's talk about that 😌

-> you all spend it together no matter what, I really think he's one of those romantic people. He may not seem like it, but he's actually lovely and wants to experience proper love, which in return means a really nice valentine's 10/10

- think all your declarations of love are just a joke at first (it was the only way you could get through his thick skull 😡), untill something major happened and he realized it would've been too far for just a prank and suddenly you all are dating and lovey dovey (references to my Azul fic)

- dates with him are so fun! He brings you to all this great places and you enjoy it so much it's impossible. Most of them are near bodies of water, but not all for sure. That said, they tend to be more scenic. Like, he doesn't really like going to cinemas or places with many people, so they're usually somewhat private and most of the time it's just the two of you (can't say you hate it)

- that said, he will try to bring contracts into your relationship (it's who he is 😔), so expect to receive offers from him which are like:

1. Go on a date this Thursday, in return you will receive a kiss

2. Hold his hand outside, the two of you will have lunch together then

3. 1 kiss = 1 minute of hugging

I don't make the rules 💁 he does

- Azul has this reputation of like, an emotionless contract guy that will destroy your life but he's just so silly goofy. I strongly believe he just has like this thing where he says things in the spur of the moment and it's the funniest thing you've ever heard but nobody ever returns to that and you're just dying (he is very proud of himself, laugh more at his attempts at jokes)

- he doesn't really buy you that many gifts, but he does from time to time and it's the most Doki Doki thing. Like, if he gets you a present it's so thought over and through and you're guaranteed to love so much you want to burst (another ego boost for him)

- you in the other hand, give him stuff all the time. You had some international coins you have collected during your time back in your world, and since they're no use to you (and most of them won't buy you anything because it's like 10-20 cents), you give them to him everytime one of them pops up. His expression is priceless, it's like a child on Christmas Day (expect it's Azul and he is not a child on Christmas Day). Bring him more useless shit and he will treasure (he is secretly a hoarder)

- isn't really into PDA, mostly because it shows a weakness of his, so you just have to sneak kisses and then bolt away because he will chase you (or allow Floyd to chase you, but safely) and you're scared but he's low-key into that so-

- you two might hold hands while walking together, although his get sweaty because he's so nervous from the situation and then he's nervous because he's nervous and his hands are sweating and you won't like and think he's gross and- (let him know it's just his paranoia)

- so many words yet I've written nothing 😮‍💨

- ANYWAY! No late night cuddle sessions because bro sleeps like a log, I'm talking *snore* mimimimi 😐☝️

-> you had attempted sleepovers, but he actually sleeps so you don't do it anymore (not saying sleeping with him isn't nice but just, bro 😮‍💨. Also his sleeping clothes are also silly:

"Oh, but Noya that is inaccurate" SHUT! HE DOES AND I REFUSE TO HEAR ANYONE ELSE OUT

- you take part in his schemes 🤭 Adeuce hate that they can't even count on you because you're on Azul's side(merehehe)

- platonic: you've never felt so taken care of in your life as you do while being friends with the bubble guppies, yet here you are. They ofc you'll do the same when you're dating, but like it's not the same. Similar, but different none the less. Everyone will know you're Azul's friend and that they should keep their distance unless they want a wild Floyd on their tail ☺️

OH! I think he also may be uncomfy around blood. Trey wouldn't handle it, but I feel like Azul will just be visibly uncomfortable and disgusted. He won't pass out, tho... I think

- he's almost perfect but he likes mushrooms 😰 like genuinely is actively searching for them to eat??? Why does he do that?

- expect to suddenly have like half of your diet be mushrooms, of which only like 60% is of known origin and kind. Does he want to poison you? I guess we'll never know 😗🫶

- I have a feeling Jade wouldn't walk with you to school, idk why. It's just like, he doesn't give me the vibes, so you two are not walking to school. That's it.

- he does protect you, tho. And you really have a feeling that he doesn't, because many of the problems you run into are caused by him for his own amusement (which also includes being your knight in shining armor)

"No, the last time I had attempted to cut your finger off with craft scissors was a month ago," bro that doesn't make it better 😰 (fun fact: you probably won't be able to cut off your finger but you can easily cut skin!)

- that said, for the longest time you didn't feel like you two were in a relationship, because almost nothing changed about him. Yes, he gave you kisses and held your hand sometimes, but that was it. It took Azul to tell you that it's because he basically had a crush on you from the start and he doesn't act the way he does around you around anyone else. After that, you started noticing that Azul was telling the truth, and he does in fact act different around you than anyone else. It made you so happy that Jade noticed and he was very confused

- I believe you had to be the one to confess. But the worst part? You didn't know he liked you Bach until that confession. You might be confused if you don't think like me, but I'll try my best to explain. So. What I mean is that Jade did have a crush on you, but he hid it very well (from you at least, since Azul and Floyd noticed right away - which was just because they had known him for years). He was doing that while trying to decide whether to pursue you romantically or not, so it lasted a few weeks. Once he decided that he actually likes you fr and what's to have something special going on with you, he's decided to make a move. Now, he didn't make it obvious, no no no! He started teasing you, and flirting in a way that wasn't straight up, but made you rethink life and become frustrated because he was flirting one second and then the next he was acting like nothing happened? Yeah, no! So once it became too much for you (one day while you guys were hanging out and it happened again) you angrily yelled your confession into his face (you called him a little shit for playing with your heart, and you were so angry in the moment you didn't even care about the answer [in the moment]). He had that smug face as he told you he feels the same way and also likes you, that made you even more angry - basically your first ever kiss was a very angry one initiated by you.

- he doesn't buy you many gifts, not because he's like Azul, but he believes they should be special because if you received a gift everytime you saw each other, you would appreciate them less and less. That's why you only receive mushrooms from him (it's on you what you do with them - he told you [what will you do? Cuz I would throw them out]) regularly. He does bring flowers to dates for you, though, because he heard that it's a human custom, so he tries to appeal to you

- which brings me, the inter-relationship situation would be the best with Jade. Because he's so smart, he spent a lot of time looking into humans, and you're like a cool person so you looked into merfolk once you became friends with the bubble guppies, so it's like very balanced. You communicate well about matters, and it's just so? Nice??? There's still some misunderstandings here and there, but it's definitely very little! (And both of you sometimes forget, since you lived with only your customs for most of your lives, but since the situation is the same, there's the mutual understanding and all is well at the end of the day)

- you quickly become the couple everyone's talking about at NRC (not gonna lie, it feeds your ego as much as it does Jade's, so you two just feel powerful)

- dates with him are usually outside activities, but like calm. Walks, sightseeing (since none of you are from around the NRC location originally), HIKING, and sometimes you swim together. You enjoy them greatly, because Jade just looks so happy, and that's all you care about

- he still pulls pranks on you and treats you like a test subject. But it is slightly less than before and most of them are harmless! Which is good! You don't fear for your life as much anymore

- platonic: would be different from dating. He still would protect you, and do many of the things he does in a relationship. BUT. He will treat you like shit also. It's not the nice balance anymore, you fear for your life. Everyday is a challenge with Jade around and you sometimes question if he actually likes you. He does, since he doesn't necessarily 🙄 want you dead, okay?

- I love Floyd but I have a hard time writing for him, so I want to apologize if it isn't as great 😔

- now, it is no secret Floyd doesn't think much. Not in a "he's stupid" way, but in a "speaks whatever is on his mind" way. If he was in the Saiki K. universe, Saiki would destroy his existence.

-> this causes a lot of problems, both relationship and the normal kind

-> you kind of learn to live with it and his nature, but you're always surprised, still

- I strongly believe he also surprises himself sometimes. Like, he would say something and you would see it on his face, this like flash of surprise at what he said, but the same could be said about his actions.

- he confessed the first. He basically liked you right away, because you were squeezable, and liked the bubble guppies, which was enough for him at the beginning

-> his confession was just him one day talking to his brother, when Jade said something about them going somewhere and Floyd got upset because he didn't want to go and he said something like: "But I can't leave the shrimpy here alone, who would shower them with love?" and he would look at you and go: "I want to be your lover, shrimpy," and you can't say no, because he wasn't asking 🥲

- that is how most of your relationship is. Floyd doesn't ask, he makes orders and commands

- many people are curios about your relationship and keep asking you questions, since it baffled them. When Floyd found out that people were stopping you in his just to ask stupid question, he made it a rule to walk with you down the halls (he did do even before, but not at all times) and you were never approached again 🤌

- the relationship, though, is very fresh but you can never expect what will happen. Floyd has scary mood swings, but you both have made a set rules to follow when it happens. Like if he gets too angry and you're actually scared, you are allowed to simply leave and protect yourself (he will be angry about it in the moment but once he's feeling better he will praise you for acting as you should've have), it is stressful, but you can live with it.

- he remembers the craziest things, especially if it has something to do with you (but also other random things). Your birthday, of course, but even if you two are talking and you just mentioned the tiniest bit of like, your previous life lore EVEN if it's was a mistake because you just blurted something you remembered in the moment, he will remember. "Didn't you say you had a friend who liked this?" "Oh, weren't you 5 the last time you had this?" "Now that was the name of your first pet, this one is: ". And it's scary! How does he have such good memory? I don't know!

- he gets distracted easily, so you have to get used to it

- he does these things... Zoomies. Like dogs? You know when dogs have this burst of energy and they start running and jumping around? Yeah, Floyd does that. He just starts circling you, or runs after someone he was and wants to bully (you're just glad it isn't you, tbh)

- dates with him, though, are very lazy. He does make awesome plans, but you two meet up, he tells you he doesn't feel like it anymore and so you just end up lazing around and cuddling, then he gets angry so he talks to you about his anger, then he gets sleepy so you nap, then he gets excited so he shows you the things he has in his room or at the dorm and then he suddenly wants you to go home

- I promise he actually loves you.

- you guys say "I love you" to each other a lot. Even though some observers will say you overuse the phrase, both of you know that no matter where or how you say it, it holds the same meaning as it does during intimate and weak moments. You guys love each other, why not let the other person know?

- platonic: basically the relationship but without the kisses and "I love you"s. I believe he's a cuddler and a hand holder even without any romantic feelings.

- you two do hang out all the time, though. Like at this point you might as well be living together with how much you're seen with one another. Frequently bought together. If someone invites you somewhere, they have to specify that it's without Floyd otherwise he will show up, same vice versa

- the relationship, though, is very cute and I support it greatly 😌🙏

Not proofread because I was in a rush! I got this great idea for a Lilia fic and I have strated writing it while writing this and my creativity is just chaos right now, anyway I hope you liked it and see you in the next part - Pomefiore!

THE SOFT music in the business, the sound of writing on paper is audible. He hums a tune, his eyes starts to hurt from staring at papers for hours.

He wonders how the workers are doing, wondering if the chaotic twin made a mess. He sighs as the calm twin tells him that someone needs to see him.

Another stupid student making deals with him, he gets out a contract paper he gets out another ink bottle placing on the table. He dips his pen in the ink and fixes his suit.

He hears talking behind the doors the door opens, revealing a familiar magic lesson student. He gets flustered he coughs as he welcomes them in.

They give a smile sitting down on the chair across him. He asks what they need. They simply ask him if he would like to go out for dinner since a new restaurant open up.

Are they asking him on a date!? He asks why they simply say

"Because you been working hard and stress isn't good for the body and I heard that they make fried chicken or other items and since you own well basically a restaurant so you will have good recommendations!"

They think he was good recommendations? He coughs as they smile at him he nods his head at the information. He acts calmly on the outside, but he dies on the inside(damn, that hits deep)

He says, " Sure, what time?"

"It's open until 9 or 8 pm, so maybe in an hour, you have my contact in your phone, right? So you can just text me!"

He smiles and says " Mmh, I will text you when "

They get up and leave, and the door closes. He looks down onto the paper he thought he needed. He blushes and covers his face, pushing his glasses onto his forehead.

He looked at the time. He could close early.

Signed yours truly

(Azul x reader) + wingman Cater

♡ Reader is gender neutral ♡

◇ No warnings ◇

♧ 1.8k words ♧

You go to Mostro lounge's special masquerade party! Your crush, Azul is going to be there, and since most of your other friends are busy. Cater accompanies you! What will happen when you do a slow dance with him? Will you both reveal your feelings or is it only one-sided?

You have been invited to Mostro lounges masquerade ball, they said it was a promotional event for the business. I guess it worked since you're going and of course, you had to buy a ticket beforehand. You asked anyone else if they wanted to go and deuce, Grim, and ace all had to study because they were falling behind (Not because they were scared of the infamous trio). Cater overheard you discussing it and said he would go with you for his magicam photos and that the two of you should get a makeover.

So that is what the two of you did and went to Sam's shop and he was right he really does sell everything even the most perfect outfit for you. Sam also had these fantastic masks in store too with all kinds of animals and just general plain ones. You picked out your favorite one and it went along great with your outfit. Cater picked out a red diamond-themed mask and said he already had an outfit ready. You both then headed back to his dorm since he had everything you could have to look good in magicam or just in general.

"Do you really think I look good, Cater?" He put down his makeup brush and said "Um, duh I did your outfit, makeup, and hair. Of course, you look good!" You look at him and smile "Thanks Cater I'm just nervous I normally so busy with the boys that I never get a chance out." He looks at you and laughs "Omg, you sound like a parent! But listen up, just enjoy yourself. I'm sure you'll have a great time." You nod and then think about Azul you can't deny he had your interest before he overblotted he just looked so interesting.

Cater looks at you sitting on his desk chair as he sits on his bed doing his makeup. He stops and turns to you and says "Are you going because there's a cute boy you like?" Your cheeks start feeling warm and you say "What?! I mean what are you talking about-" "Omg, you do! You gotta tell me I'll be your wingman." He does a little pose as you laugh, "Oh lemme guess, Kalim?" "Cute, but no." "Umm, Jade?" "No, but they're in that dorm." He stops and thinks and then he says "I know it's not Floyd... omg, I got it! Is it Azul?" You stop and get flustered and you hide your hands behind you face and he stands up.

"It's Azul!? After he scammed you and everything? I mean you do you." He sits back down and you put your hands on your knees "Yes, it's Azul, he just so charming and handsome, he has a soft spot he just doesn't like to show it." You think back to when you all went to the museum after you fixed everything. "Alright then, Mx. Ashengrotto, you ready to go then? "Stop Cater!" You playfully yell at him "Fine, y/n but I'm gonna help you get your man."

You both finally arrived at Mostro lounge while walking along the way he gave you a pep talk, talked about how amazing we both looked, and took some amazing photos. You both stand at the door and walk in to be greeted by Jade. "Ah, y/n and Cater it's nice to have the both of you here." He smiles politely at you two and then Cater says "Where's you boss?" You nudge him a bit and say "Cater!" He looks and you confused and then smirks a bit when Jade says "Ah Azul, Are you looking for him Cater?" "Nope, just my friend here." He winks as you sigh.

"I'll go fetch him for you." You quickly grab Jade's arm and say "Nope, you don't have to Jade. We'll go find him!" You smile and quickly walk away with Cater. You two eventually just hang out and get those expensive drinks but luckily they were included in the ticket. You two dance a bit and have fun as time passes until you see Azul. "Um, Cater." He looks at you and then spots someone "Omg that's Vil! Maybe he'll be in my magicam post! Brb y/n." He quickly runs off before you can say anything. Your back faces him until you hear footsteps getting closer to you.

You turn around and see him, his outfit is amazing, very detailed with his coat, shirt, and especially his hat. You see his mask is made of tentacles with a bit of purple and black. "Good evening y/n." He lightly smiles, "Oh, yes good evening Azul!" You smile and bit hoping that, and the dimmed lights will hide your blush. "My, my, y/n that outfit looks stunning on you, especially your mask. Very elegant." He puts one of his hands up to his chin before you can respond to him, he says "A little eel told me you were looking for me?" "Oh, oh yes! It was mostly Cater saying that." He frowns a bit, "But I did want to see you."

He smiles and says "Great, we're you looking for a contract?" You can tell he's joking, you hope. You laugh and say "I might, I have a hypothetical question. Can you make people fall in love with you?" He looks quite surprised and a bit upset but resumes his posture. "Do you... like someone, y/n? I could of course make someone go out with you but now, my interest is peaked." You feel flushed for even asking that question and his response just made you feel even warmer. "I think it's better if we discuss this later, don't you think?" You nod as he looks at the dance floor and says "Y/n, may I offer you a dance?" He bows and smiles while looking up and you. "Yes, of course, Azul!" He then takes your hand his gloved one and leads you over to a waltzing-like song playing.

He puts one hand on your waist and the other in his hand as you put your hand on his shoulder blade. This all feels surreal, I mean sure he knew you but is this act of kindness or fondness? You two waltz and dance around as you notice Azul trying to keep up but he stumbles now and then. He looks down at his feet and then at you and says "I must admit I didn't know how to waltz until a few days ago. It was Jade, who taught me the twins are much better at dancing than I." You giggle a bit and say "Don't worry I appreciate the effort you put into this, yo- Mostro lounge looks beautiful." You hope he didn't notice your mishap in your sentence. He smiles and states "I'm glad you think that, dear."

The song is close to an end as you almost trip he catches you and holds you up a bit, you look at him a bit embarrassed. You both get back into your position and smile about being in Azul's embrace until you look over your shoulder and see Cater with his phone out pointed at the two of you. You shoot a glance at him and he gives you a thumbs up. You shoot a glance at him and he gives you a thumbs up. Azuls facing the opposite way of your looks straight, not meeting your gaze. "Are you looking at someone, y/n? Is it the one you wish to date?" You look at him kinda surprised I thought he said he didn't want to talk about it right now.

"No, it's not I'm just worried I don't know if they'll like me back or not. They feel way out of my league. Oh sorry for spilling this all out on you." He looks at you "Nonsense, I'm sure anyone would be glad to have you." You are shocked now, "Really you mean that?" He nods and smiles and says "I mean you look quite divine tonight, here among these vibrant lights." He smiles and spins you around and catches you and fall back into your places "Pure delights surround us as we dance." The song ends and he pulls away and gets on one knee to kiss your hand.

"Signed yours truly, the octopus."

(I was going to end it here but let's keep going)

You look down at him shocked, you then smile as he gets back up and says "I'm sorry if that was embarrassing." He nervously chuckles and you respond "No! Not at all Azul. I enjoyed it." You grab his hand and hold it with both of your hands. You both hand, in hand walk off the dance floor and he says "Would you like to discuss the contract, in my office?" You nod as you both go into his office it's much quieter and away from everything.

He sits down in his chair as you sit across from him, he takes off his mask and sighs "So, who's the lucky gentleman?" He smiles almost sadly. You shuffle with your hands and look at him. "Well, he's charming, smart, and I guess you could say he's very alluring." He put his hands together on the desk while looking at you. "Well y/n, that doesn't give me much information, if it's someone I know, I can perhaps guess." "Oh? So who do you think it is?" He gives a curious gaze as he looks at the wall. "Hmm, oh, you do hang around with Jack, don't you? He is good boyfriend material, Strong, pretty smart, and charming." You sigh and grab his hand "It's... you Azul. You have all those features and even before and after you overblotted you always seemed so unique and handsome..." You smile and he shows a stunned expression.

"R-Really? I mean this is quite unexpected." "After you danced with me, I truly knew I liked you." He smiles and says "I guess we don't need a contract then do we?" "Only a date time." "Well, I'll meet you at mostro lounge, Thursday, at 7:30?" "How'd you know that's the only time I'm available?" "I have my ways."

After-party:

"Bye Azul, I'll see you later." You blow him a kiss as Jade, Floyd, and Azul wave farewell as you leave with Cater. "Ohhh, Azul has a date with shrimpy!" "Floyd-" "Azul finally gets their first lover. How unexpected." "Jade!" "We're just kidding Azul." Azul sighs as the twins laugh.

"Wait till everyone here's about this, especially your freshman friends." Cater states, you laugh and say "They're gonna freak out."

Next day:

"Y/n! Why does Cater have a post of you saying hanging out with the lovebirds #relationshipgoals #mostrolounge #cutiepies with you and Azul dancing in the background!?!?"

Authors Note: I loved writing this and didn't want it to end so I kept going! Hope you all love it as much as I do, and I probably should've been working on my assignments but whatever! :p I hope you guys know the lyrics I put into this, thanks to miracle music. I also think it's quite obvious to tell what kind of characters I like writing for. Again hope it's not cringe or too sappy. Hope you all enjoy it!

CW: NSFW, cock/strap on, baby trapping yandere mentioned, Dom-sub dynamic, body fluid (saliva), MDNI

Yandere who thought he was the one who was going to impregnate you (yeah it works even if ur a dude, read it once in a yaoi(?)) only to fuck around and find out (literally). Ramming his insides while rearranging his guts <3 cooing sweet nothings into his ear while giving it a sloppy nibble.

Yandere who felt like he was about to black out from the overstimulation from his prostate and cock, toes curling until he couldn’t feel his feet anymore~

Yandere who got all horny again at the mention of you wanting to lactate his tits, drinking the milk right from the tap. How could he not get all worked up when your mouth wouldn't stop latching up on his nipples?

Yandere who wished you would abuse him further and harder, you ought to choke him for being silly, planning on baby-trapping you no less! He was the one who should be carrying your child! (yeah he failed to get pregger bcs pain)

Yandere who littered the whole bed sheet with his whole bodily fluid, yeah you gotta wash the sheet again once you were done.

Yandere who would obey you when you told him to clean his mess up with his tongue <3

“Who’s a good boy hm?”

Yandere who cum just from his reward which was getting to swallow your cum and spit (and any bodily fluid you are comfortable with honestly)

Azul Ashengrotto - "Love You, for You"

🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.

Another cute but super duper short little post for the most perfect, precious and beautiful boy in Twisted Wonderland, Azul Ashengrotto. — Benny 🐰

🐚•♡•🐚•♡•🐚•♡•🐚•♡•🐚•♡•🐚•♡•🐚•♡•🐚

My dearest Azul,

You may not believe me when I write you this, but you are the most lovely creature I have ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes upon. You have such an effect on me; your mere presence shakes me to my core with such ferocity that I can't articulate myself. I get so toungue tied and my previous thoughts are flushed out and replaced with tidal waves of you.

Truly your beautiful mind is what I admire most. You are so intelligent, so observant, so perceptive and it makes my swoon to see you so focused when you work. Your eyes, the window to your very soul, never fail to hold my gaze captive with their beautiful silver-blue color and thick lashes that shade them from the lamp light. Your lips that look so soft, they call to me and fill me with a desire burning deep in my soul. I could list everything I love about you in this letter, and I would love to, but I'm afraid it would be so long that you wouldn't be able to read this in one sitting.

None the less, I noticed you seem not to notice all of these wonderful things that make you the person you are. No, you notice them, you just don't think they're as wonderful as I do. You are wrong about that. I don't understand what has caused you to hold such hatred for yourself when you are such a lovely man. You are absolutely breathtaking.

It's hard to accept one's self if they never had the initiative to in the first place. I understand, that's what I'm here for. I shall send you letters every single day if I must. If you just can't find the will to do it on your own, I will love you for you.

Sincerely,

Your Secret Admirer.

Y/N, looking at Azul’s baby picture: Oh wow, you were so shaped. So squishy and soft. Full of so much chub to love.

Azul: What are you talking about?? I was a fat, ugly octopus!

Y/N: Fat? Yes. Ugly? No. You were a proper butterball, of whom I would have held and kneaded like dough. Bake you right into an adorable cutiepie.~

Azul: I don’t know what is wrong with your brain and eyes, but I most certainly was not adorable as a kid! Now give me that- *tries to swipe back the picture*

Y/N, dodging him: Nope. You were lovable and round and oh-so baby.~

Azul: I was unlovable! Not like I am now!

Y/N: Oh shut up, that’s just the insecurities and unresolved childhood trauma talking!

Azul: My younger self would ink himself if he saw me now!

Y/N: You peaked in your childhood and will never reach that same level of endearment until you reclaim the chub you so foolishly threw away.

Azul: . . .

Y/N: Your childhood longing is calling, Azul. Answer it.

[Jade and Floyd watching this all go down in the doorway]

Floyd, shoveling popcorn into his mouth: Yeah, Azul, answer it!

Jade: Yes, heed their words, Azul, so that we can partake in your chub too.~

queen of thine heart

riddle rosehearts / gn!reader

synopsis : they say the queen of hearts always had her loving husband rule alongside her. unfortunately for heartslabyul, their queen's king attends a different academy. but you know what they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder.

or ; in hearing your lover's recent overblot, you disregard the rules and infiltrate nrc to make sure your queen is alright, much to the surprise of the cards.

content : established relationship, implied childhood friends, rsa!reader, fluff, sprinkle of angst, crack, no use of yn, reader is not the prefect, reader is referred to as 'king' in a gender neutral way (like how riddle as queen), fic is more focused on the dynamic of their relationship rather than of the relationship itself (but perhaps another fic is in order...), riddle's pov kinda?, just a very short oneshot.

word count : 1.5k

The door opens but nobody that's already in the room thinks too much of it, until someone unfamiliar speaks.

"Good evening, Card Soldiers."

The mild bickering ceased to exist entirely. The door clicks shut.

The first years couldn't tell if it was an illusion or not, but they swear they saw the Housewarden of Heartslabyul tense at the sound of the person's voice and averted his gaze. Shoes tap against the floor tiles until they stop at the foot of Riddle's designated recovery bed.

The newcomer wore the eyesore that was the Royal Sword Academy uniform, but the things that caught the attention of specifically the Prefect would be the scarily regal presence that the person exudes, and the badge pinned against the left lapel of the stranger's blazer, an exact replica of the crown Riddle adorns on his school tie.

They brandish a polite smile, "you are dismissed."

It was clear to everyone that this person will not accept any other answer than compliance - "RSA? Who're you to tell us what to do? And what are you even doing here?" - well, except for one.

Ace raises a brow, lacking any form of decorum or respect, as per usual. The temperature of the room seemingly dropped, and yet, the stranger was still smiling.

Before Ace gets an answer, he feels a sharp jab at his side and a hand resting between his shoulder blades. Trey is quickly ushering all of them out of the infirmary. The heart soldier watches the academy student and the Vice exchange a look and a nod.

The door clicks shut once again.

With everyone now gone, you walk over to Riddle's left of the bed. Right hand against your heart, you bow your head, a custom.

"I greet the sovereign of Heartslabyul, the everlasting law, the Queen of my own heart," you cannot hide the smile in your voice and Riddle hates it in an affectionate sort of way.

"Must you always greet me incorrectly?"

"I am but a mere servant to your rule," you give him a cheeky grin, and with a touch as light as a feather, you take his right hand to press a quick kiss to the knuckles. Riddle sports a pout as he retracts his arm, but you never take him seriously when he's beet red, always a sucker to your flowery words.

Despite this, he has not once looked you in the eyes since you arrived.

Silence and tranquillity floods the atmosphere but anybody can feel the underlying tension beneath the layers. You shatter the quiet.

"I came as soon as I could." You sit down on the edge of the bed and he shuffles to the opposite side so that you do not fall off.

"I know." Riddle's sight is focused on the bed sheets where his hands rested. He watches your hands clasp over his, your touch is warm and just slightly sweaty, but he would never care for something so little.

Besides, he can tell by the sound of your breathing that you're still recovering from the journey. Upperclassmen say that it takes almost two or three hours to walk from one end of Sage's Island to the other, and this is without factoring the mountain you'd have to climb to get to NRC.

"I really thought I lost you when I was notified by one of the cards." Riddle can feel your stare and the sorrow in your words. You probably dropped everything to get here.

"I know." He takes a quick glance at the clock on the wall. How did you even manage to get to the college in just a little over an hour since he was admitted into the infirmary?

"You need to make me lots of crosswords to make up for it." The Housewarden clenches his jaw and thinks you are too forgiving compared to how much inconvenience and worry he's caused you.

Why are you not reprimanding his recklessness? Why would you risk a dorm-arrest to visit him with no prior permission? He reckons that your sentence would last at least a week if the professors find out of your absence, two weeks if you used a broom without authorisation. After this, would you think of him as a nuisance or embarrassment and leave him-

Sensing all of his inner turmoil, you reach out to carefully fix his dishevelled hair back into place and cup his cheek, coaxing his head in your direction so that he finally, finally looks at you.

Riddle's eyes are glassy with unshed tears, but the steadying pulse under the palm of your hand is soothing, your gaze is soft and full of something that is unconditional. Riddle knows that he can stay looking at you until forever falls apart.

Thumbing the flesh gently, you are watchful not to touch any gauze or smudge remnants of ointment. "Crosswords aside, I implore that you tell me, my Queen: What ails you so? Have I done something to be undeserving of your gaze?" Though, that last part was supposed to sound more like a joke.

"No!" He belts out before he could process your teasing lilt. "I mean- I- That's not- Ugh!"

Riddle gives up at the sight of your smug face and relaxes into your hold for just a few more moments, not caring for his burning cheeks or the delicacy that his lover offers him, only wanting to feel them wholly and fully.

He expels out a shaky breath, sits up straight, and lets everything go. Riddle tells you everything. The collars, the unbirthday, the tart, the duel. Riddle expresses his revelation about his mother and her rules. He confesses that you were right this entire time, and that he hopes you can forgive him for the times he denied it and admonished you.

Riddle's story ends and your brows furrow with guilt, "I knew I should have transferred to Night Raven. Maybe it would have prevented-"

He is quick to lace your fingers together with his own and silences you right away. "Perish the thought. You are not to blame. Not you. Never you."

Deciding to reward his efforts of attempting to distract you from your own thoughts, you sigh and lean in so that your foreheads touch, and Riddle does not oppose the connection. Closing your eyes, you breathe out lightly, quietly, as if only the two of you existed.

"You have tormented yourself in such a matter for far too long, my loveliest rose."

At that moment, Riddle swears up and down to The Seven that he has never been so in love. He looks down at your joined hands and smiles for the first time that day.

"I promise not to do it again, my Liege."

[ Extra ]

"What the hell was that for!?" Ace rubs his side tenderly after Cater elbowed him earlier. He earns disapproving glances from his seniors and unsurprising stares from Deuce, Prefect and Grim.

"Be more careful, Ace-y. They're the Housewarden slash Ruler of their own dorm back in RSA, but is also the Honorary King of Heartslabyul because they're Riddle's partner," Cater pulls up pictures of you from the academy's official magicam and shows the first years. "So that means they're in the same position of power as him in 'labyul, so you need'ta treat them like it."

Ace snatches the phone from his grasp and scrolls through the content, in denial. The other first years crowd around him. "Partners? With that Tyrant?? There is no way Housewarden was able to pull before me."

They all stare at the photos of you doing a plethora of activities, presumably around the rival school. Gardening, directing students, baking, tea parties, generally doing nice things. Yuck.

Ace tries to find your personal magicam but Cater yanks his phone back, exasperated, "I think they've been together for almost two years now, so it's not like it's new news."

"Myah, I don't know about you guys, but this 'King' of yours looks like a weak-ass, lovesick simp. Simp in capital letters, bold font and red text," Grim had lifted himself up and peaked through the window in the door to the infirmary, watching the royalties speak softly to each other.

The two third years give each other a look and both can vividly imagine the sound of your laughter and you saying that you wholeheartedly agree with Grim.

"I still don't get why you just followed their orders without question. I should show them the mighty power of The Great Grim, and then we'll see who's the real king! Nyahaha- Yowch!" Deuce had smacked the monster in the head.

Trey leans against the wall beside the closed entrance, crosses his arms and chuckles at the statement. He looks over his shoulder and also observes the duo inside.

"I've known them since we were kids, and trust me, Grim, they aren't someone you can mess with and get away with it unscathed."

He chooses not to mention how Grim fails to see the pure concentration of magic emanating from your figure.

The Most Suspicious students of Twst would…

Platonic or romantic <3 gn reader

Azul Ashengrotto would be the type to buy your favorite things in bulk. Whether it’s any type of food or any stationery, anything. He’ll get it in boxes just for you to smile. Different color? You got it. Different material? Hell yeah. Anything for you!

Floyd Leech would happily tackle you to the ground when he sees you passing during free time. And I mean tackle. He digs his head into the crook of your neck and happily just stays and talks about his day.

Jade Leech would cook for you. Malewife style, with the apron and everything. He loves seeing how your eyes just light up with glee as you smell your favorite food when he comes and hangs out with you. It tastes amazing and somehow, it feels like he added his own touch as well.

Jamil Viper will and has definitely dressed up together before for fun. You two mix and match outfits in the stores and even if he rolls his eyes at it, he wears it. If you’re lucky, you can sneak a picture of Jamil unconsciously smiling while wearing one of the outfits. Be careful to not get caught!

Rook Hunt leaves poems of appreciation for you everywhere you look. Even in the most unlikely places. He hand writes them and they’re always unique. Bad day? Welcome home to see poems everywhere of silly but amazing poems that touch your heart and brighten your day everytime. How does he know you smile even when he’s not there? Well, maybe you’ll find out one day.

Lilia Vanrouge serenades you in his club room, serenades alright. Surprise! It’s your favorite songs! He can play a bunch of instruments so request for any songs and instruments and he got you! He can also sing if you’d like him to, if he doesn’t know the song, he’ll listen to it before playing it the next time you come to the room.

Could I request Azul, Silver, and Jamil with a baker reader?

What If Their S/O Was A Baker?

Type of Writing: Request Name: What If Their S/O Was A Baker? Characters: Azul Ashengrotto, Silver Vanrouge, and Jamil Viper Requester: Anonymous

A/N: This is slightly shorter than my average piece, but I have like 6 other requests to get through so, bite me😑

✧⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋄✧⋄⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋆⋄✧⋄⋅⋆⋄✧⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋆⋄✧⋄⋅⋆⋄✧⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅

🐙 As we all know, Azul loves to eat sweet foods. It falls into the category of unhealthy foods (which he loves) vs healthy foods (which is canonically his least favorite)

🐙 When he had first seen you bake, he had come back from a housewarden meeting and smelled both a sweet and a more fungal-like scent lingering in the air, and that mix made him slightly fearful but more curious

🐙 He had walked into Mostro Lounge's kitchen and saw that you and Jade were cooking together while Floyd sat down and slept at the counter

🐙 You had looked up from the cookies you were frosting to look like small underwater creatures such as stingrays, clownfish, sea slugs, and even a small bundle of eels like Floyd and Jade, and smiled

" Azul! Come here, I made you something a little bit ago! You came right on time too, it's still a little warm. "

🐙 Walking up behind you, you had reached into a basket with a sea-shell printing that Azul had gifted you a couple weeks prior for your personal usage, and you had pulled out a small cookie

🐙 But not just any cookie, one that was molded at the bottom to look like small tentacles. And as if led upwards, it began to form a small body, the body of a slightly purple and blue octopus

" Since I was making little sea creatures and I thought that you'd be tired from the meeting, I figured I could make you something to heighten your mood! " " Well, you did your job well, my Pearl. "

🐙 Before Azul could actually take a bite of the baked good, you had shook your finger in a 'not-so-fast' way and lifted the rest of the basket's cloth, revealing a small litter of baby octopus in various positions. One even was spilling ink!

🐙 Chuckling at the gesture, Azul laid the sweet inside the basket and hugged you before kissing your forehead with delicacy

" I love you, Y/N. " " And I love you, my little octopus~ "

⚔️ Let's be honest here; Silver definitely falls asleep when the aroma of your sweets enter his nose. No doubt.

⚔️ Whenever you had started baking and your boyfriend began to catch a whiff of the baking items, he would close his eyes and begin to let his mind wander as his eyes began to close

⚔️ But, when you had baked while he was out training, you had taken a small bag of them outside and noticed that he was sitting on a bench, sleeping of course

⚔️ He wouldn't be your boyfriend if he didn't catch his 29th nap of the day

⚔️ Holding the bag as you smiled at the silver-haired male you called yours, you heard your name being called out by a familiar voice; Lilia Vanrouge, Silver's adoptive father

" Y/N~ I just so happened to notice that you have a bag of delectibles. If I may ask, who are they four? They better be for my son. " " They're for Silver, I noticed that his naps seemed to be getting in the way of having literally any kind of food in his stomach, so I decided to just make these and have him get something in during a break in training. "

⚔️ Looking at your resting boyfriend, you chuckled;

" Though, it seems I was a hint late for that. "

⚔️ Lilia smiled and thanked you for considering his son's meals in balance with his training, as he held that in high regards. And as he floated away to train Sebek for the time being, you laid the treats in your boyfriend's bag and kissed his forehead before walking away

⚔️ Unbeknownst to you, Silver had opened his eyes once you left and smiled. What did he ever do to deserve such an amazing S/O as you?

🐍 This guy. This guy- he literally does everything in his dorm. And it drives you insane whenever he has to start rushing around to bake and cook for a surprise party that Kalim decided to throw

🐍 So, when you had spoke to Kalim and learned hours prior, while Jamil was away grabbing stuff from down the mountain, Kalim got news that one of his siblings was dropping by and he wanted to throw a party

🐍 And at that party, he wanted a lot of baked goods. His sibling, he said, had a very large sweet-tooth

🐍 You took this opportunity and told Kalim that you were going to bake up some stuff and wanted some recommendations from the person closest to the guest, making him smile and ramble for a little while

🐍 So, when Jamil came back into the dorm and smelled a strong scent of sugars and spices, he had thought that Kalim tried cooking again... or maybe Lilia came back to destroy his kitchen

🐍 Speed-walking to the area in particular, Jamil stood in shock seeing you wearing Scarbia-branded oven mitts as you took out a small tray of freshly baked pistachio baklava

" Y/N? What are you doing in here? "

🐍 When you smiled at him and told him that you had taken care of all the long-time desserts and began to time the long-time main courses and sides for the impromptu party for the Al-Asim sibling, Jamil both sighed in annoyance at Kalim and he slightly chuckled at your appearance

🐍 You had flour on your pants and some batter on your face with frosting and a few sprinkles, and seeing the normally clean you look like such a mess made him laugh. This must be why you laugh when you visited him in the kitchen week prior during the last large-serving party of Kalim's
