Special Gift || Leona Kingscholar
For my dear friend’s @nanamisflowerfield belated birthday- I hope you had an amazing day <33 reader is gender neutral!
“Happy Birthday (Y/N)!”
“Happy Birthday prefect!”
“Enjoy your special day, Child of Man.”
Hearing so many birthday wishes from so many of your friends warmed you inside- despite not being from this world, they never failed to make you feel accepted. So you shouldn’t be so surprised when Grim let it slip to the others that it was your birthday. You planned on just doing something small and simple, but seeing the effort that your friends took to celebrate it anyway made you happy.
“Oi herbivore, what’s got you smiling so hard?”
“Hm? Oh, hey Leona.” You weren’t expecting to bump into him on the way back to the dorm- you’re honestly surprised he didn’t skip (again). “Ah, it’s nothing- it’s just been a pretty good day today.”
“What makes today so different from any other day?”
You quirked your eyebrow, and felt a tiny pit in your stomach. You don’t make your birthday a huge deal, but most of the people close to you knew- and you consider Leona one of them. But even if you didn’t tell him, Grim definitely did (he probably told the whole school honestly). So did he really not know or did he not care to know?
Either way, you didn’t want to cause a scene, even if it did dampen your mood a bit.
“Um…nothing actually. It is a crime to have a good day?” You tried to joke, even if your smile was a bit forced.
Leona scoffed and glance over at you, narrowing his emerald eyes. He began to say something when he was interrupted by approaching footsteps.
“Leona, there you are! Geez, the one time you decide not to be lazy and you still have me running around.” Ruggie grumbled, then shot you a smirk. “Ohhh, I see now! It’s cause you’re with-“
“What do you want Ruggie?”
He let out a laugh, “Just wanted to let you know that everything’s good to go.”
Good to go? For what?
You didn’t understand what Ruggie was hinting at as he winked at Leona, but whatever it was made him scowl even more. You wanted to ask what they were talking about but Ruggie already began to walk away waving.
“Anyway, see ya later- oh, and happy birthday (Y/N)! Save some cake for me!”
You waved back, and turned to Leona, still curious on what he was planning. Leona Kingscholar was putting effort into something? You had to know.
“Soooo…what was Ruggie talking about?”
Leona clicked his teeth, “Something annoying that won’t stop bugging me- like you.”
“Wh- hey! I didn’t even do anything this time- where are you going?!”
“I got stuff to take care of- don’t wait up.” And with that, Leona walked off, tail swaying and ears flickering. You felt disappointment well up inside- no matter how close you thought you were or tried to get to him, it felt that he was still shutting you down. You thought things got better after the overblot incident, but you guess you were proven wrong.
The walk back to your dorm was quiet, and the little excitement you felt was starting to dim-
Until you opened the door and confetti filled your view, with the air being filled with cheers and whistles from party horns. The smile that was once lost was back on your face once more.
And as you blew out the candles on your cake, you only wished that you could figure out Leona.
—
After the chaotic surprise party, you laid on the bed, a snoring Grim curled up next to you. Today was still a good day, and you were glad that you didn’t feel as alone as you thought you would. You missed your world, but your friends here were able to fill that void, even if it was temporary.
Yet your mind kept drifting to Leona.
It was a bit frustrating- how can you care for him so much when he seems to barely pay you the time of day? You thought you were making progress in building a bond with him, and he even seemed to be tolerating you more in return. Maybe you were reading things wrong? No- Leona started to come around more, even if he was acting like you were being bothersome. Maybe you were reading things too deep? But if you were, he wouldn’t let you be his “human pillow” like he does right?
You didn’t have time to mull over your thoughts as your phone went off. Checking it, you got a text message from the last person you expected.
“Come outside”
“What?” Sitting up and doing your best not to disturb Grim, you went to move the curtains, spotting a very impatient lion standing outside the door. The pettiness inside of you wanted to ignore him and give him a taste of his own medicine, but he already spotted you through the window. He even had the audacity to mouth hurry up!
Racing down the stairs and throwing open the door, you were met with a yawning Leona. “What’s going on? Is everything okay?”
“Took you long enough.” Leona grumbled, then took something out of his pocket and held it in front of you. “Here.”
“You have the nerve to come bang on my door late at night and then you have the audacity to be rude too- wait, huh?”
Your rant was soon interrupted by his hand pushing a small box with a orange bow into your hand. You blinked up at Leona, who felt like he was staring at you in…anticipation?
…no way. Is this-
“Tch- you thought I forgot didn’t you?” His tail flickered, and you took it as a sign to untie the bow and lift the lid, gasping at the sight.
It was a bracelet filled with thick colorful beads, the golden ones sparkling and glittering underneath the moonlight. The jewelry looked so delicate, so expensive, that you cradled it close, avoiding any chance of accidentally dropping it.
“Leona…”
“I guess being royal does count for something, huh?” He dryly chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, peering down at the bracelet. “It was a pain goin’ back home to have it made- even more to see my annoying folks and having them ask questions.”
He didn’t voice how it was worth it to see you smile.
“Here- hold still.” He grabbed at your wrist and took the bracelet out of your hand, fastening it on you. After he was done, you lifted it up to keep admiring it under the stars, and Leona felt a swell of pride inside of him at the sight.
He wasn’t able to grumble anything out as you rushed and threw your arms around him, causing him to stumble back. “-!”
“Thank you for this, Leona.” You softly smiled and moved back to gaze at him. “I love it!”
You expected him to complain about the close contact or even push him away, but what surprised you was the feeling of his own arms returning the favor- and you swear you felt something soft wrap around your ankle as well.
“Good- you better.” And his response just made you laugh- of course, he would say that.
Leona wouldn’t dare tell you, but the bracelet he had made for you, he kept a matching one locked into his drawer. He wasn’t planning on wearing it with you around (that’s a headache he wasn’t ready for), but he was whenever you would return back to your own world. Every time the thought passed, he felt a weird sensation of pain in his chest that even sleeping wouldn’t fix- but he pushes the thought into the back of his head.
You felt something ruffle your head and bring you in closer, feeling the warmth of his touch-
He’d rather focus on the time he has with you now.
“Happy birthday (Y/N).”

Happy Halloween!!!! 🎃
I would love a trick (and a treat perhaps) for Nanami if possible 🫢
Sending you so much love and spooky vibes 💛
only because you're the cutest ever!!!! and bc i love nanamin <33 i hope you had a safe and fun halloween, all the love and spookiness right back at you bestie!
treat
kento is absolutely the most thoughtful man on the face of the earth. like, he is the man that will purposefully schedule vacations the weekend after he knows a tough project at your work is wrapping up without you having to ask him, he brings you to the restaurant you went to on your third date for your anniversary because you told him that's where you started to fall for him. he's very detail-oriented and he will never miss a beat even with his crazy schedule
trick
okay but like, for me? kento goes hand in hand with degradation
loves loves loves turning you into a whining mess and then chastising you for it
he def is a very traditional hard dom in the sense that he sets rules for you (no panties on date night, no touching yourself unless he's out of town and you ask nicely, etc) and has an entire arsenal of punishments should you break one of his rules
