pt. 1 | 📍pt.2 | pt. 3
hmmm
i like to think that the other yuu (y/n) would also somehow befriend kalim
like- listen.
maybe they’re wandering around campus while everyone is in class. they were skipping, yet again, because of their anxiety. yuu gave them the advice of walking around the school while everyone was in class so you could get to know the school on your terms.
so you here you were, roaming around the outside portion of school, forcing yourself to walk slowly and take in your surroundings. each footstep followed the pattern of black and white tiles; left white, right black. if your toe went over the black tile your other toe would have to match. if your foot skidded on the tile, your other foot would have to follow in suit.
it was an old habit you had in your old world. you never knew what possessed you to do it, but you couldn’t stop once you started.
‘tsking’ at the fact that half your foot went over the white diamond, you were preparing to have your other foot follow suit when you felt a sharp jab in between your shoulder blades
“AGHH” you cried out in pain as you tripped over your feet. with the short time you had, you braced yourself onto your side, where the side of your arm took most of the impact. letting out a shaky breath at the pain, you felt tears escape as you kept your head down looking towards the floor.
fuck. what luck huh.
first the scene in crewels class last week, now this???
the universe is really trying to humble you
there was a crushing weight on top of you that kept pushing your side into the floor. you were debating rolling on your back to cradle your arm, but you didn’t want to cause you and the boy to shift positions…
your face started heating up. just at the thought of anyone seeing you like this made your tummy clench. you can imagine it, the bell ringing, indicating the end of class. all the boys in the classrooms would thunder like wildebeests into the hallway, only to see you pinned to the floor by the mystery man.
oh could you could just kill yo-
“ughh- oh sevens! ae you okay?”
the voice cried out from above you, immediately getting off of you. your relieved sigh from the weight being taken away was short lived as you were yanked by your wrist upwards.
you gasped, pain shooting through your ankle as you toppled into the strangers strangely strong arms.
his skin was tanner with white swirls and patterns running up his muscles arms- no stay focused. your ankle? probably broke-
“hello? anyone home? i oh no, i hope you didn’t hit your head, ahh im so sorry, let’s get you to the nurse!!”
a soft hand found your shoulder as he set you upright, and there you were forced to meet you assailant.
of course you knew who kalim al-asim was. you’d hear him from classrooms away, and jamil too, the latter usually chasing after the former.
“huh, that’s weird, i’ve never seen you before” he tilted his head in confusion, a split second later his face lit up like a thousand christmas lights as he connected dots.
“oh! you must be a new transfer student!
(i said he connected dots, i never said he connected the right ones)
i’m kalim al-asim! im the housewarden of scarabia! and you are…”
he looked at you expectingly, his scarlet eyes honing in on yours. you would’ve thought he was trying to peek into your soul if it weren’t for the ever growing smile on his face.
“uh… y/n” you didn’t have the heart to tell him you weren’t new.
you shifted uncomfortably, eyes flicking to his crest as you fiddled with your hands behind your back. despite your nervous deposition your mind was racing.
what if he was there to bully yiu?
if you kept pressure off your foot then just maybe it won’t be black and blue and swollen like a pufferfish.
oh god what if a camera crew jumps out from behind the corner telling you you just got fucked
oh god what if the entire school is in on it-
“hey, you okay there?”
snapping your head up, you met kalim’s worried expression. his eyes no longer like that of a predator’s stalking its prey, but of someone who was genuinely worried about you.
was this the leap of faith yuu was talking about?
1,2,3 fuck it
“uh, no actually” fuck you wanted to run. yet like an anchor at the bottom of the sea, your foot stopped you from setting sail. you were stuck in your own situation.
“oh sevens, i knew it! here i’ll take you to the nurse!”
“OW”
you yelled when his hand tugged you in the opposite direction. you thought he got burnt by how fast his hand detached itself from yours.
“sorry” you mumbled, rubbing your brushing arm firmly. you weren’t sure why, but a little pressure made it not hurt so much- you winced, rubbing motions stopping immediately as you cursed yourself mentally.
“there’s no no reason to apologize, at the most i should be the one saying sorry, you did get hurt by me after all” his face shifted to a guilty one as he eyed your ankle, then your arm, and back to your face.
you sighed, running your free hand through your hair as you let out an exasperated sigh. “how about this, we call it even if you can take me to the nurses” you pointed to your ankle “think i sprained it” you mumbled out once you realized you were ordering THE house warden of scarabia around.
you were gonna get snipped, weren’t you?
bye bye y/n! died before they could live!
“nonesense!” he shouted, causing you to flinch slightly at the closeness and loudness. he let out a small sorry as he smiled sheepishly “i knocked into you while riding this guy” he pointed behind him as his expression quickly grew to one of amazement.
“oh! you haven’t seen my magic carpet! he’s-“
“not behind you” you muttered, peeking behind him left and right. and yet, there was only him and you in the deserted hallway.
(you checked behind you as well just to confirm your claim.)
“WHAT” kalim shouted, again. this time not apologizing as he was too busy freaking out about his lost carpet.
“jamil’s gonna kill me” he whined.
“if you want i could help look” you pressed your nails into your fists as you asked. boy were you talkative today!
“nah, you’d only be dead weight with that ankle of yours, don’t worry about it!”
… this is why you don’t talk…
“oh! how about this, when i find it i’ll let you ride it so you can go to the nurses office!”
…you were getting dizzy, first he calls you dead weight now he’s offering to ‘carry’… carrying? said weight on his so called carpet.
you couldn’t keep up with him.
nodding dumbly, you hobbled to the door side of the corridor as kalim jumped through the hole that acted as a window that outlooks the courtyard.
searching high and low, you couldn’t help but laugh as you watched the heir turn into an acrobat as he climbed trees, jumped over rocks and somehow managed to climb on top of the gazebo’s roof.
“don’t fall! i don’t want us to having matching ankles!” you mused, laughing lightly as he turned to you, waved, almost fell off, and flailed to get his balance back all in the span of 10 seconds.
a few minutes passed when you heard him yell out. prying your attention from your nails, you were face to face kalim.
“shit!” you flinched as kalim almost ran into you a second time. although he tried to keep it hidden behind his back, the large carpet peeked over his shoulder at you, before folding in on itself.
“this is my friend, y/n! c’mon don’t be shy buddy. they’re shy just like you, see?” kalim encouraged the carpet from behind his back. yet every-time he tried facing it, the carpet would stay glued to his back until they started playing an intense game of “peek-a-boo”
laughing at their antics, the carpet unfolded its wings and with a flap, it flew into the sky, effectively knocking kalim over and onto his butt.
“HAHAHSHAH” you threw your head back as you slapped your good leg’s knee.
what felt like a few seconds must’ve been a few minutes of you laughing none stop that you didn’t even notice the two in front of you.
calming down from your ab inducing fit of laughter, you started fanning yourself as you had a nasty habit of blushing when you laughed. your eyes were closed in concentration as you let the last of it out of your system.
“boy you guys are sure a riot, lord i can’t remember laughing that hard in a long time- what”
kalim, with his ass still on the floor was just staring at you. you didn’t dare name the emotion as you tensed up again.
“i’m sorry for laughing-“
springing up like a rocket, he celebrated with his carpet. what the fuck.
“there you go! no longer doom and gloom! you should laugh more! “
extending a hand to you, he grinned, his face flushed and breathing slightly erratic that the normal eye wouldn’t have been able to spot it. yet you did, you always did.
you looked at his hand for a moment, then to his face, then to his hand, which he opened a bit more towards you to get you to take it.
what felt like a pause in time was probably more of a minute as you just looked between the two.
“fuck” you growled out lowly, closing your eyes as you thrusted your hand into his. you kept your eyes shut as he yanked you up to the point your feet touched off the ground.
bracing for another hard impact, you were met with the soft, fuzzy fabric of the carpet.
“oh” you said lightly, ungracefully fixing your positioned to where your good leg was extended and your bad ankle was resting over your good leg. your arms keeping you up right.
“neat huh” you looked at kalim as the front carpet dipped a bit to let him on. he sat in front of you as he shifted his position to face you.
“do you mind” he looked at your ankle as the carpet started flowing. too impressed with that fact that you’re on a giant fucking carpet, you shook your head no.
the light touch onto your sore ankle caused a hiss to escape you as your head snapped towards an apologetic kalim.
he wasn’t sorry for too long as he kept softly poking your ankle, before he dramatically sighed. shaking his head, he said “yep, it’s sprained alright.”
groaning, you leaned back in annoyance. but with the lack of personal awareness made you forget that this is in fact not! a car.
so down you went. your world turning upside down as you felt your legs lift. and soon enough you would nose dive into the concrete.
welp this was it ladies and gentlemen. you’ve had a god run.
our father who art in heaven-
a hand lashed out and gripped your arms before pulling you back up. where you were met, once again, face to face with the al-asim heir.
breathing heavily, you stared at him wide-eyed through the tresses of your hair.
“not gonna lie, i thought you were gonna let me fall” you joked, gulping as you looked behind you at your almost murder scene.
pushing down the sudden dread, you looked back to kalim who wore an almost serious expression
“only a fool would drop a girl like you”
he smiled slightly, cheeks growing in hue as he looked away from you shyly. his back was now towards you as he told the carpet where to go.
the complete one-eighty left you gagged as you you just stared at him, gob-smacked that he had the AUDACITY to use that moment to quote a meme.
shaking your head slightly, you looked behind you as you extended your arms back, hands trailing through the carpet. stopping once you thought it was a suitable distance from the edge. leaning back, you enjoyed the ride
i was gonna write this sooner but i had to finish my assignment el oh el
i love this y/n sm🫶
y/n is actually me
yes i did that on purpose

hellou <3 this is my most personal request maybe :') , hdcns for the dorm leaders (separatly) with a fem reader who accidentally ends up making them laugh (maybe she says or does it is very random I don't know) leaving mc like a clown 🤡. .. although mc doesn't understand why they're laughing because she doesn't think it was a big deal ksjkdd well in summary: mc intentionally becomes the clown of the leaders ;u;)/
Thank you for the request!
Also a special thank you to @cup1dt3a for helping me with Riddle and Vil's part, very appreciated! :D
How the dorm leaders would react to the reader reacting to them laughing at something the reader said
Tumblr media
Notes: Fem! reader but can be read as gn, since the only pronouns are You/your. All credits to the artist of the cover picture! Also some parts are shorter than others.
🥀🥀🥀
Riddle Rosehearts
🥀You were studying in the library, a habit you've picked up very quickly as Riddle was a study freak(affectionate).
🥀He couldn't help but giggle everytime you mispronounced a word. However, he never felt the need to correct you so you had no idea why he was laughing.
🥀And Riddle isn't the type to laugh out of the blue, so you were even more confused.
🥀You quickly catched on as he explained to you. You then started to mispronounce the words voluntarily.
🥀At the end of none of you had learned a thing.
🥀He has a lingering feeling of guilt, because his mother would have never let him laugh like that during study time(which was practically always).
🥀Yet he couldn't stop himself for waiting hastily for your next study session, just to goof off with you again.
🦁🦁🦁
Leona Kingscholar
🦁If there's something you know, it's that Leona practically never laughs except sarcastically.
🦁But the way he laughed as of now... It felt real, and it was so unbelievable you could think he was mocking you.
🦁"Why'd you stop talking, Herbivore?" He asked as you stared at him mouth agape.
🦁Cute, he thought as you regained your spirits and blabbered akwardly an apology for staring.
🐙🐙🐙
Azul Ashengrotto
🐙You just have some way of speaking... It instantly brings a smile to his face everytime.
🐙He chuckled just thinking about it.
🐙When he looked up, he met your eyes that were sending "???".
🐙"Is something the matter? Are you admiring my beautiful face?
-Nah, just, why did you laugh at me?
-Laugh at you...?"
🐙Ah, he must have caused a quiproco with his laugh.
🐙"Worry not, it wasn't you I was laughing at.
-What, then?
-That is my little secret~"
🐙You would have made him swallow his smirk if he wasn't so pretty.
☀☀☀
Kalim Al-Asim
☀Well to be fair, he is laughing at everything you say because he thinks you're extremely funny.
☀But for the first time it happened, you were caught off guard. His laugh is loud and it resonated in your ears.
☀When he realised you were looking at him weirdly, he asked you what was the matter.
☀You brushed it off, and he was so oblivious he accepted your explanation.
☀As time went on, you learned it was just a joyful habit of his.
💅💅💅
Vil Schoenheit
💅Without realising it, you were the funniest person he knew. You would always drop snarky remarks that caught him off guard.
💅He snickers everytime, but he'S the only one to do so because he's the only one able to catch your subtilities.
💅Or maybe you're more prone to laughing to someone's jokes when you like them, who knows.
💅Anyhow, it took you long enough to realise he wasn't laughing at you, but at your jokes.
💅When the light finally switched in your head, you were glad to know someone appreciated your puns.
💅You wouldn't think someone like him would appreciate puns, but it's still nice.
🎮🎮🎮
Idia Shroud
🎮Oh he'd be caught dead if he ever made you think he was laughing at you.
🎮He'd be caught dead simply for looking at you, but I digress.
🎮Anyways in a world where it does happen, you're not even mad because his laugh is so wonky you start to laugh as well.
🎮Yeah he's the clown now.
🎮He immediately starts to whimper in embarrassement and you have to calm him down.
🐉🐉🐉
Malleus Draconia
🐉He wasn't really listening to what you were saying, he was too busy looking at your beautiful face. He thought about how lucky he was to ahve you, and chuckled.
🐉you, however, who wasn't living in his head, had no idea why he was laughing. Your dumbfounded face only made him laugh harder.
🐉It was his turn to be confused when you seemed upset. He hadn't imagined his actions could cause you pain.
🐉you forgot about it rather quickly, but Malleus didn't. He followed you like a lost puppy for weeks trying to be forgiven.
***
Hope you enjoyed!
Have a good day/night!

Pride and Prejudice: A TWSTed AU
The Keeper of the Underworld: I. Shroud
Introduction, or Pick another route!
Tumblr media
Idia x GN Reader (they/them)
Warnings: P&P-level angst and miscommunication, some cringe dialogue, parties, possibly ooc Idia, I wrote this before playing Book 6 so I apologize if there’s any inconsistencies
Notes: The level of overthinking I put into these fics is unreal 💀 First and foremost, thank you all for your patience!! Idia was hard to write, but I hope you enjoy, shrimpies~
———
Well this is certainly something, you thought. Of all the things you’d witnessed at NRC, (even overblots), you didn’t think you’d ever see Idia Shroud at one of Kalim’s parties.
You sipped on your drink when a shock of bright blue flames came in the corner of your eye, contrasting the orange-red of Scarabia. Kalim lead Idia into the dorm, bright and sunny, compared to the look on Idia’s face. Poor guy couldn’t even escape, because Cater and Rook ambled in behind him, chatting happily.
It was like the beginning of a joke: A sultan, a card soldier, a huntsman, and a blue flame-headed gamer walk into a room.
Kalim spotted you and grinned, grabbing Idia’s hoodie sleeve and dragging him over too. “Hey (name)! I’m glad you could make it!”
You smiled at the Scarabia Housewarden, “Thanks Kalim! I-“ At that moment, Jamil reached him to drag him away, mumbling exasperatedly to Kalim about being careful. Kalim laughed Jamil off, “sorry (name)! I’ll see you later, okay?” “Alright then…” you trailed off and turned to Idia, who looked like a deer in headlights.
“So…” you rocked on your heels. To be honest, you didn’t know how to approach him sometimes. Sure, you’d gamed with him a few times (with heavy insistence from Ortho) and you weren’t on his ‘avoid at all costs’ ranking list, but Idia did have his odd moments. Some days, you two would get along like a house on fire. Other times, it was like Idia hated you - avoiding you even in tablet-mode, and ghosting your chats.
You’d like to think that your more friendly moments were the ones that Idia counted, but sometimes it was hard to get a read on the guy.
“I didn’t know that you’d be at Kalim’s party today. I thought Ortho said there was an event in… um…?” You finished, cringing at your vagueness. You might not have known much about the game he played, even though he’d made you play it when you came over to Ignihyde, but you knew he probably didn’t want to be here of all places.
Idia’s hair flared a bit, and he looked resigned and moody. He pulled out his tablet. Ya, the event dropped today but I got mobbed by kalim + the extroverts. “That sucks,” you said, “I got dragged here by Ace. Still, it’s nice to see you.” In the oil lamp lighting, you could’ve sworn Idia’s hair turned a bit pink.
You were both silent, and you opened your mouth to speak when Lilia yelled out from the front, “let’s get this party started!” Kalim started drumming wildly, and then electric guitar swelled. Lilia began screaming heavy-metal-style into the mic. Around you, everyone started dancing, and even you found yourself moving to the rhythm.
You glanced at Idia every now and again, but he looked vaguely annoyed and tired despite the liveliness. He looks so over it, you thought. Probably since Kalim maybe dragged him here. You looked around, biting your lip when you noticed your friends having a grand old time on the dance floor, and kind of wanted to go too. Still, it wasn’t every day you saw Idia, and you wanted to do something with him. Especially since he was… well, here.
“So, Idia…” Idia’s eyes snapped to yours, dull. You rocked back on your feet, “do you dance?” Idia rolled his eyes, and you felt your heart sink, for some reason. Obvi not, id probs distract everyone anyway. And also id just rather not if I can help it. Your smile wavered, “c’mon Idia, anyone can dance, even if it’s not good!” Idia typed rapidly into the tablet, i mean ur not wrong. Like literally anyone can dance but ppl only do it bc its wat normies do.
You opened your mouth, then squared your shoulders, words failing you. Idia shoved a hand into his pockets and opened an app on the tablet, scrolling. You swayed for a bit, feeling awkward while Idia kept his eyes glued to the screen, a frown creasing his brows. Finally you shrugged your shoulders, trying to shake that sinking-feeling off.
You stepped into the crowd of dancing people, swaying to the music and trying not to look over at the blue flames swaying in the corner. Unknowing to you, Idia glanced up from his tablet every few minutes, trying to catch a glimpse of you, before trudging back to the cold chrome of Ignihyde, back to his dorm.
———
Ugh, could this get any worse?
Idia flopped onto his bed, shoving his headphones on and opening the mobile game on his phone. Not only did he get a late start on the game event, but he flubbed a chance to talk to you. Even if you did want to dance like all the other non-introverts at Scarabia. Thank Sevens Ortho didn’t know he missed his chance, otherwise the little robot would’ve torn Idia apart.
Idia shut his eyes and went over the details. Doing this IRL was trash-tier. Why couldn’t this just be a good-old-fashioned otome game, or romance anime? First you meet the love interest, then you find things they’re into, then you talk to them more. Then finally you confess, and cue the outro. He’d watched countless shojo and romance anime’s, and that was the basic outline. Eventually, the ethereal, gorgeous, smart, kind protagonist (aka you) would fall in love with their love interest (aka him) and it would all work out. Boom. Happily ever after.
Ah, yes. He could see it now.
Cherry blossom petals rained around both of you. Where are they coming from, this campus doesn’t grow cherry blossoms? Whatever, don’t question it. Anyway, the petals fluttered past your beautiful, sparkling eyes as you stared up at Idia with adoration and love. Idia stared down at you with full-rizz, kabedoning you against the wall.
“Oh, Idia-senpai!” You’d cry, eyes turning into hearts as sparkles and pink flower petals surround you both. “You’re so cool and not cringe at all! I could never want one of those normies! You’re the only one for me! Please date me!” And then Ortho would set off the heart-shaped fireworks and you two would finally kiss-kiss-fall-in-love, just like the popular anime Our High School Has A Host Club And The Leader Falls In Love With Me?!
“Whee hee hee…” Idia stared off into the distance, giggling ominously to himself and hair turning pink at the ends. His character on the screen went into idle mode, and he didn’t even hear when Ortho floated into the room. “Big brother?” Ortho gently tapped him on the shoulder, yanking him from his shojo daydream. Idia jumped, hair flaring. “AAAIIIIEEEE-“ Ortho jumped back, eyes wide but not detecting any signs of injury on Idia.
Idia breathed heavily, wide-eyed. “Ortho! Wh-when did-? I wasn’t-!” Ortho analyzed his heart beat, noting that Idia had traces of blush on his cheeks and his erratic behavior pointed to- “Were you thinking about (name) (last name)?” Ortho asked innocently, his theory proven when Idia flushed and went pinker. The younger boy suddenly got an idea.
“You know, (Name)’s heart rate goes up when they interact with you,” Ortho watched his brother’s eyes widen, “even when you’re not there, when you’re mentioned, their heart rate increases by 45% and they are more likely to be in a positive mood. 82% of the time, they regard you in a positive way.” His eyes lit up happily with realization, “If my calculations are correct, they have feelings for you!”
Idia sat there, thinking. What were the odds you would like him back? Sure, you made him happy, and more importantly made Ortho happy. And it was actually nice talking to you. And he never felt exhausted after interacting with you. And maybe you did enjoy the artificial light of Ignihyde to the spring sun above, and maybe you would like being with dreary, nerdy him.
Ortho could see his brother lost in thought, noting that Idia’s heart rate spiked when he mentioned you. “I also overheard them telling Grim about finding a partner,” he said casually, omitting that you’d been wanting a partner in Alchemy, and not necessarily a romantic partner.
That seemed to fire Idia up. Ortho could see the metaphorical cogs in Idia’s brain turning, an entire blueprint of a plan being made in his mind. At last, a wide cunning grin spread on his face, and he opened his arms, “well, who else but a genius could be partners with the MC?” He said arrogantly, “it’s not like just anybody can woo the protagonist!”
Ortho beamed, cheering, “all you need to do now is confess!” Idia immediately began sweating, freezing up. “H-huh?!”
——
You frowned at your textbook, rubbing your temples as you read through the alchemy procedure. Ugh, this couldn’t get any more confusing.
As you turned to begin writing, the door burst open. You flinched and immediately locked eyes with a frazzled Idia. His golden eyes were wide, and he was panting - he even looked sweaty. Somehow his blue fire hair seemed just as frazzled as him, looking pale-blue in shock. Could flames somehow look poofy?
“Prefect!” He squeaked. “Idia?” You questioned, what’s he doing here? It was odd that he’d be out of his room at six in the afternoon, not to mention he looked afraid of you. It wasn’t like you were a stranger, even though as of late, he treated you like one.
He stared at you from the door for an uncomfortable amount of time, then sped-walked to stand in front of you. You looked up at him from your seat, tapping your fingers. You awkwardly asked “do you wanna sit down?” He shook his head quickly, the ends of his hair were turning pink. You frowned, “…dude, are you okay?”
Idia flinched. He pivoted on his heel, “no, no, can’t do it, not today-“ he scuttled out of the room and slammed the door, screeching to himself and pulling his hood over his head. You stared at the door, vaguely hearing Idia freaking out to… was that Ortho? You heard the little robot boy’s voice through the door, probably calming Idia down, along with an odd spraying sound.
It went quiet and you assumed they’d left. Whatever, weirder things have happened at NRC. As you went back to writing, the door slammed open again. You jumped, heart beating wildly. Idia stormed over to you, hair blazing a trail behind him. He slammed his hands down on the desk, and your eyes watered with the scent of overpowering cologne bodyspray.
“Prefect! I need to tell you something!” Idia’s eyes steeled in determination, and he looked you dead in the eye. He was breathing heavily, and his flamed hair blazed and curled more than usual, turning deep pinkish-red near the ends. The last time you saw his hair similar to that, was when he was rage-playing during one of your gaming sessions. How pissed is he? You felt your heart leap into your throat.
“Idia,” you began, freaked out, “I think you should sit down-“ Idia blazed on, “this is honestly a horrible decision for you and definitely for me. I don’t even want to think about what Mother and Father would say, not to mention how this’d affect Styx.” He was tunnel visioning now. “Plus you don’t even have magic and this might not even work out anyway ‘cause I don’t see us working out TBH…” Slowly his hair began fizzling out, voice getting quieter and quieter as he mumbled to himself.
This was a terrible idea, Idia realized. After everything that had happened with Styx, not to mention everything you had to deal with personally, it wouldn’t be good to get involved with him. You could be in danger, especially as a non-magic user. No, it would be selfish of him to ask you to be with him. Why would you, anyway? There were other guys at NRC, not to mention the entire Sage’s Island, who would be a better fit for not. Especially ones who didn’t kidnap your friends and Grim. Especially someone like Idia.
No, he concluded. He shouldn’t have come.
You frowned deeply. “Idia, what…?” Your alchemy work definitely wasn’t done yet and Idia was making zero sense. He sighed, as if tired all of a sudden. “Nope, no… this isn’t going to work.” He stood abruptly and sped-walked out the door, brushing past Ortho. You overheard the boy try to get his brother to come back, but Idia didn’t stop. You could feel your heartbeat in your ears. So that’s what this is about? Idia didn’t want to be friends with you anymore? All because you weren’t… what? A tech whiz? Good at gaming? Magical? Your heart dropped. Because you were just too different from him? So you weren’t good enough to be even friends with him?
Your eyes stung at the thought. Fine. If Idia wanted to be that way, then fine. You shoved your books into you bag and headed back to Ramshackle. You doubted you’d be able to focus, anyway.
———
Poor Ortho was confused.
After running simulation after simulation, scouring the Internet for any clues, and piecing together what Idia said after running out of the classroom, he just couldn’t understand what happened. That was a first, considering it was Ortho.
Idia had ran out of the room in a hurry, mumbling incoherently. “Brother! What’s happening?” Ortho flew to him, scanning his vitals. Idia seemed to be ok, but his brother seemed… strangely melancholic. “Ortho, it won’t work out,” he said dejectedly, not wanting to talk about it.
Ortho called after him, trailing behind “What did (name) (last name) say? There was a high probability they’d accept your-” Idia sighed in exasperation, shaking his head. “It won’t work. I should’ve never left the dorm…” As Idia trudged back to Ignihyde, Ortho was left with more questions.
He hovered for a moment, before heading back to the alchemy room for you, only to not find you there. Ortho thought hard, thinking back to what Idia said. ‘It won’t work out,’ was what he said - not a flat-out rejection from you. So that meant…
He began floating back to Ignihyde, determined. I can still save this!
———
You were taking overthinking to a new level.
You bit your lip, staring at the game’s chatbox in front of you. Idia was online, and probably didn’t realize you were too. You leaned against the Heartslabyul common room couch (curse Ramshackle’s lack of internet!), and hit send.
Hey is everything ok??
You watched Idia’s game icon immediately switch to “online less than 1 minute ago,” and groaned.
Cater exited the kitchens, leaning over the couch back. “Hey~ what’s got my fave frosh so worked up?” He chirped, looking at your phone. “Ohh, isn’t that the popular game that’s been trending? Wait, didn’t you say Idia got you into it?” Cater immediately had his phone in hand, “that’s supes adorable, playing with friends is so fun-“
You cut him off, throwing your hands up, “that’s it! Idia just doesn’t want to talk to me! He- he just-!” You grabbed a throw pillow and smashed your face into it, groaning. Cater patted your shoulder sympathetically, “well, we’re playing at another one of Kalim’s parties tonight, you want in?” You sniffed dramatically, thinking. “Well, I guess. Sure, why not?”
Later that evening, you stepped into the Scarabia mirror. You and Cater made your way to the food table. As you both munched on Jamil’s cooking (damn, the guy made a good curry), you watched everyone dancing. “Y’know, it was weird seeing Idia at a party,” you commented, while Cater nodded. “Yeah! We decided to bring him along that day, it was fun seeing him.”
You sighed, “yeah, it was, but… it’s not really often that we can hang out in person. I kinda wanted to dance with him last time, but he sort of… blew me off? I guess maybe it wasn’t the best idea.” You winced, while Cater’s eyebrows rose. “You didn’t tell me that. So, he did that and also told you he didn’t want to be friends?” You nodded, frustration flooding back, “Yeah! And I just don’t understand how he can be so conceited about him being so high and smart, and not like me because I don’t-“
“Prefect,” Cater cleared his throat. You looked up mid-rant, meeting Ortho’s eyes, and jumped. He just snuck up on you both like it was nothing. Did he hear you? Hopefully he wouldn’t be mad. In your mind, Idia started it.
“Hello (name) (last name)!” Ortho said pleasantly, so you assumed he hadn’t heard you. Great. “I didn’t know you’d be here! What a coincidence!” That was a lie, Ortho overheard you and Cater talking about the party when you were walking to Scarabia. He absolutely knew. And he dragged Idia here because of it.
“Yep,” you smiled at Ortho, “it’s nice to see you.” Ortho mentally readied himself and remembered every bit of acting advice Vil gave him. “I almost forgot!” His eyes widened, while your eyes narrowed. Ortho was a robot. He didn’t forget shit. “Big brother is here, and he wanted to ask you to dance!” What? Your neck snapped around, looking for Idia’s bright blue hair. Cater elbowed you, bringing you back to reality.
“I-well, I- had not-“ you stammered, fumbling for an excuse. Ortho’s eyes shone at you like puppy eyes, and your anger at Idia cracked. “…yeah, sure,” you watched Ortho rise a bit in the air happily, “Yippee! I’ll go get him!” He zipped off, and you rubbed your temples. Cater twisted a strand of his hair, eyes wide. “Yikes…” “tell me about it,” you groaned.
A few minutes later, you both looked up when Kalim tapped the mic. You didn’t miss Ortho hovering a ways behind Kalim. “Hey everyone! Thanks for coming!” When the cheering died down, Kalim continued, “We’re gonna try something different! Everyone, find a partner and join the dance floor!”
Cater glanced at you, mischievous. “Welp, I can’t leave them hanging~ TTYL, Prefect!” And he left faster than you could say ‘Magicam.’ Sweet.
You hesitantly stepped to the dance floor, half expecting Ortho to float up to you and sheepishly tell you Idia left. Your mind drifted back to that day in the alchemy room. I guess it wouldn’t work, anyway.
To your surprise, a finger tapped your shoulder. You turned, seeing Idia with a with a flushed expression, wearing a casual-but-chic blazer. His hair looked a bit tamer than normal, and cascaded down his back in a low ponytail, bangs flickering over his forehead. Undoubtedly, this was the work of Ortho, who definitely got pointers from Vil.
You both stared at each other, unmoving, until slow music began playing. You averted your eyes. Idia gulped, eyes widening until waving caught his eye. Ortho was flying upwards a little ways away from the slowly-crowding dance floor, gesturing wildly at you. As if that wasn’t enough, he projected words above his head: DANCE WITH THEM!
Idia was lucky that everyone else was more interested in dancing with their partner than Ortho. His eyes snapped back to you, “s-so I guess you wanna-“ he swallowed thickly, eyes shifting to the dance floor. You shrugged, feigning nonchalance and looked ahead. Idia looked back at Ortho, who was pointing wildly at the words. He thought to himself, this is fine. It’s just the mandatory side quest. It’s not fighting the boss. It’s…
It’s charming the love interest. It’s solidifying your route!
Idia steeled himself and forced your hand into his. Your eyes shot to his in surprise, and he walked stiffly to the dance floor. Your hand clasped his, and you both swayed gently to the soft rock from the stage. Your brows furrowed, but Idia locked his gaze onto you, focusing only on you.
Yes, he thought. This is just the player’s pov on the screen, and he was only focusing on the love interest. The other waltzers didn’t exist. The party didn’t exist. It was just you and him.
Meanwhile, you were at a loss for words. While Idia seemed taciturn, you glanced up at the stage. Cater, Kalim, and Lilia were in their own little bubble jamming out, so that wasn’t a lifeline. After a little while of swaying with Idia, you hummed, “I haven’t seen you in a while. Since that day.” Idia’s hands felt clammy, and in the dimmed lights you saw a small pink dusting Idia’s cheeks. You saw him swallow heavily, but he didn’t say a word.
The tension grew between you two, and despite feeling hurt, you felt a little bad. Still, you wanted some answers out of Idia, after the incident in the alchemy room. “Y’know, you never used to be this… odd around me.” Was it the crowd that made him quiet, or… You felt a lump in your throat. Was it you?
Idia’s eyebrows shot up, thinking fast on what to say. Why can't conversations irl have ready-made dialogue?! “I… we c-can talk about wh-whatever you want? I guess?” He tried, kicking himself internally for leaving his tablet with Ortho. You bit the inside of your cheek as you stepped with him, that’ll do for now. “Scarabia parties are a little much, but they’re more pleasant than the Pomefiore mock balls,” you tried “wouldn’t you say?” After an uncomfortable pause, expecting a reply, you mumbled to yourself, “I guess we can stop talking now.”
“...is it like a rule for normies to chat while dancing? Isn’t the act of moving enough?” Idia mumbled in exasperation, hand tightening a little on your own. You bit your lip, your eyes burning. “No, I prefer to not talk to my friends at all and tell them we can’t be friends. It’s so much fun, right?” Idia’s eyes widened, and he scrambled for words, “I- I didn’t mean…” You stopped swaying abruptly, both of your clasped hands in the air. “Why are you here, Idia?”
A chill went through Idia. “T-To be honest, I didn’t even want to come to this stupid IRL dance,” he rushed out, “TBH Ortho had to make me come ‘cause he told me you’d be here-“ “You didn’t want…?” You cut Idia off, heart dropping. The other dancing couples swirled around you, but all the commotion around you felt like nothing more than idle chatter. Hurt flashed in your eyes, and Idia seemed shocked, which made you angry.
“I guess you wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who’s magicless, especially since you have STYX right?”
Idia’s eyes were wider than the Heartslabyul tea saucers. For once, he didn’t have a smart-ass reply. “Um, what? Obvi, I’m kind of stuck with STYX-” You let go of his hand and took a step back, almost bumping into a waltzing couple. “Yeah, wouldn’t want me to mess things up. Make any bad decisions and all that, right?” You felt your eyes water, despite yourself.
Furiously balling a fist and wiping your eyes, “Since you said we wouldnt work out n’stuff.” Idia suddenly remembered everything he’d muttered to himself, from the moment he’d stormed into the room to when he’d left dejectedly. When he’d made his choice and left before you could even get your word in.
Like a coward.
Idia’s heart pounded but shakingly, he reached a hand out to you. “P-prefect, I-I-!” You dodged the crowd, and ran out of Scarabia. You didn’t look back until you crashed through Ramshackle’s door, raced up the stairs, and fell onto your bed, Grim yelping in surprise as you tried your darndest to forget everything that just happened.
Back in Scarabia, Idia somehow stumbled off the dance floor, staggering to a table and breathing heavily. Mentally he replayed everything that just happened. Ortho floated over to him, “Brother? I don’t understand, why would (name) (last name) not accept your feelings?” Ortho went over the footage when he was observing you both dancing, and frowned.
“My senses indicate that based on their body language, they were upset with you. What happened?” Idia swallowed heavily, “I-I said it wouldn’t work out between us c-cuz they don’t have magic,” he stammered, eyes wide, “a-and STYX and-...” Ortho’s eyes widened, then narrowed, “That shouldn’t be a problem! You know that!”
“I meant for them, Ortho.” Idia sighed heavily, sinking into the chair. “I don’t want them to get hurt. Not when…” his mind wandered to Ortho, before NRC. He fell into deep thought. “In the end, I couldn’t even tell them...” He frowned deeply.
Ortho fell quiet, computing. Idia stared at the table, dejected, until Ortho spoke. “You know (Name) (lastname) doesn’t back down easily from a challenge.” That’s true. From playing games with Idia to taking down overblots, you weren’t someone who ran away when it mattered. Maybe that’s why Idia liked you - you were like the protagonists in animes, who found a way to make the world their own.
“You shouldn’t make (name) (last name)’s decision for them.” Idia looked up at his brother. Ortho continued, head angling to the side, Idia shook his head dejectedly, “it won’t work-”
“Your lil’ bro is right, y’know,” Cater walked over, shaking his hair out with his guitar slung over his shoulder. “Sry, I overheard you two,” Cater could piece together what happened. He did see you blow up at Idia (although he couldn’t hear you), and after spamming your phone with no reply after you ran out, now he had an idea of what was going on. “Y’know, if you didn’t tell them how you felt, then how could you know you were making the right choice?”
Idia looked down. Ortho piped up, “Cater Diamond is right.” Idia shut his eyes, then stood up, hands tightening into fists. Cater jumped back as Idia’s hair flared up bright blue, and the Ignihyde housewarden headed straight to the exit. Ortho called out, “thank you, Cater Diamond!” and floated after Idia, “Brother! Wait!”
“Lets go, Ortho,” Idia’s golden eyes steeled in determination, “I can fix this.”
—----
A knock on the door jolted you from your reading of Prejudice and Pride.
It was early morning. Somehow, even though it was the weekend and you’d stayed up all night, you still woke up at an ungodly early hour. After being unable to fall asleep (totally not because of Grim’s snoring and sleep-munching) you decided to go to your living room and read. You were sure that you didn’t have a guest coming, so why would…?
You got up and opened the door, expecting Ace or Deuce or something. The annoyed look on your face turned to shock when you saw Idia standing on your porch. In one hand, he held a bouquet of pomegranate-red roses and some flowers you recognized to be asphodel.
You both stared at each other, unwilling to move. “Idia,” you breathed, “why are you here?” Idia shuffled awkwardly, “I wanted to see you.” You crossed your arms, looking around. “Where’s Ortho?” You were sure the little robot boy made his brother come. Otherwise, why would Idia be here? Idia rubbed the back of his neck, “Ortho isn’t here. I… I wanted to see you,” he repeated.
Wordlessly, he thrust the flowers into your arms, and you wrapped your arm around it instinctively. “I- um,” you looked everywhere but Idia, who was staring at the Ramshackle doorway. “Idia,” you cleared your throat, “about what happened-” “Prefect, I… I wanted to apologize.” Your eyes widened, but Idia continued.
“I… I didn’t mean what I said that day.” Idia looked bashful, face turning pink and the ends of his hair turning a deep blush. He kept talking, rambling on and fighting he urge to grab his tablet and let the device speak for him. “I… really like being friends with you.” The words came out quietly from him, and even though he looked like he wanted to sink into his hoodie, Idia didn’t shirk away.
A lump rose in your throat as you didn’t make eye contact with him, instead playing with the flower bouquet, “I like being friends with you too,” you bit your lip, rubbing an asphodel petal, “I like you, Idia.”
Idia’s eyes widened and went rigid. Both his face and his hair went deep pink. Your own eyes widened at the color, and you felt your face grow hot. So that’s what it meant…? Not anger…?Wordlessly, without thinking, you dropped the bouquet. Your body moved on its own, and you flung yourself at Idia, wrapping your arms around his shoulders and squeezing your eyes shut.
Idia staggered back from the momentum with a squeak, but wrapped his arms around your torso with an iron grip. You gripped his hoodie tightly, finally understanding what had gone on for so long. Your cheek was pressed against his, and despite the early morning chill, you both felt warm.
High above, Ortho hovered in the distance over the tree canopies from afar. He zoomed in on you and Idia, and behind his face mask, he beamed. In midair, he did a heart-shaped loop-de-loop in happiness, and hovered back to Ignihyde.
After a few minutes, you leaned back in Idia’s arms, the both of you chuckling in happy disbelief. You looked up and saw a little blue streak leaving a smoke trail of a heart, and laughed to yourself. Idia turned around, seeing his brother above, a soft reminiscent look on his face.
“…guess Ortho was right.”
~END
——-
Fun fact: the beginning is inspired by idia’s school uniform vignette!!!
Me, while writing this: wow Idia and Cater’s dialogue are unique, they’d be hard to write
Also me: *puts both of them in this fic and suffers*
Writing Idia was SO HARD but I hope I managed to get him right-ish. Trying to balance his reactions with the dialogue was hard 😭
anyway thanks for reading~ please leave a comment/reblog!! <3

When you have a Secret Admirer - and it's not them (Scarabia; 4)
Tumblr media
A love letter was left at your door and now you are searching for that ‘secret admirer’ - everyone wants to help you out…but have their own reason for it.
'There are many students here and in comparison to them, I am just a speck between royalty, celebrities and prodigies...but still, I hope you can hear my heart and all that it feels for you...'
form of headcanons + scenario-ish
[note: reader is gender-neutral but mostly mentioned in 2. pov; a series of everyone you meet following you. headcanon will follow each char. own thoughts on the situation. mostly nervousness, slight jealousy & stubbornness]
Part 1: Heartslabyul
Part 2: Savanaclaw
Part 3: Octavinelle
Part 4: Pomefiore
Part 6: Ignihyde
Part 7: Diasomnia
Surplus was an understatement.
It certianly was nice to have a few dozen vases filled with blue flowers everywhere and the herbs all helped you cheat your way into doing Crewel's practical homework real quick but it did get tiring after a few days - especially when your ghostly roommates and the cat would not stop pestering you from where they came from.
It seemed everyone else noticed your jaded expression as well and they were sharp enough to know that it wasn't because of school and - unfortunately - not because of this 'secret admirer' but because of them. They were curious, pestering, suffocating, they knew. So, until no news from that secret admirer reached them, they decided to leave you alone for a bit (and continue their case on finding that lovesick student).
Even a certain prince was able to notice how tired of the constant attention you seemed...
Kalim Al-Asim
Oh, well, look at that! It's you!
As air-headed as Kalim is, the news of a secret admirer dwelling here in NRC and bombarding the infamous Ramshakle Prefect with love and admiration has even reached his ears mostly because Jamil informed him
Since he never had been a witness before, it often slips his mind however, so he approached you like he always does - with a skip in his step, a huge wave of his arm before throwing it around your shoulders and giving you brief but tight embrace as a greeting.
Kamil is fond of his hugs and since he is such a sweetheart, you physically and legally cannot be mad at him, you swore to yourself.
He mentioned your tired expression you had the past days and invited you to one of his many parties - no parade this time, he will make sure that it will be actually relaxing to you! Just food, friends, chill atmosphere and doing whatever you want.
Since the prince did not mention anything of any admirer, love letter, gift or confession to you, you agreed. It'd be nice to hang out with him for once and Jamil was not the type to bother you.
So he throws his arm around you and ushered you to Scarabia's mirror. Before you knew it, you were there!
Things were as calming as promised aside from the usual shenanigans and you felt so strangely at home here. Though, you could tell everyone tried their earnest not to mention anything to you or in your presence...
Of course even Scarabia knows aaaall about it...
Though, you couldn't help but felt like you were being watched...
Jamil Viper
Well, this isn't a surprise seeing Kalim drag you into here.
Not that Jamil has anything against that...it is just, y'know...the rumors that aren't really rumors anymore.
A part of him thinks you being here will bring more trouble.
Still, he is glad you are here. He greets you like always, hangs around like always. It's as if he never heard a single thing about a 'secret admirer'.
Yet, well, he has. Very much so that it actually vexes him. Jamil is one of the few who are honest to themselves and not to anyone else - he knows who he is and what he likes. You having a secret admirer is something he doesn't like.
He wonders if he should tell Kalim of his worries that something might happen. But he was too occupied being your host that he just let it slide this time. He even ponders if Kalim is aware of what he is doing...is his sweet nature taking all over his senses?
The party was more like a get-together anyhow, with him and Kalim speaking to you the most and a few other students you've got aquainted with during...that incident (which Jamil wants to banish from his mind on one hand but can't deny it offered him more freedom than ever before on the other). Certain ones were even more talkative than the both of them...
Well, it's gonna be alright. He's just gonna keep looking out for you from the shadows (like always) while Kalim will be your ray of sunshine...
Nevertheless, no matter how bright the light tries to shine on the culprit or how deep the shadows grow so one can hide themselves in, neither Kalim nor Jamil and especially not you expected to first step into small puddles of the sweet spring water outside...
The leak led to said spring outside, the water, which was usually clear, was instead filled with thick, wet pink petals. Flowing down the tiny waterfalls while sticking to the royal white marble, it left a few studens slipping (and be covered in petals, too). A pit opens up in your stomach at the sight while simultaneously your heart starts throbbing faster, nervous sweat trickling down your flustered, red face. Jamil was the first to notice your befuddled state and quickly made work of finding the source of the overflowing water - it led to one door, through the kitchen and back to the lounge as he searched the place. Kalim was less distressed about it, casually passing by the silk curtains hanging from the walls and ceiling, until one got stuck in his headband...
Only the softest of tucks was needed to pull the entire fiasco into play. Kalim's careless yelp alerted everyone else before you got floored by what seemed a magically light, pink avalanche. Through the screeching you could barely make out that pink petals and fruits were piling upon you, leaving all attendants trapped beneath the sweetness.
You forced your eyes open, the items heavy but not enough to crush you. The sense of relieve you felt when noting that you could technically get up was squashed like a bug when one last petal fell down, as light as a feather, right in front of you. The pink letter turned for you to read its contents.
'My dearest (Name)
This is rather spontaneous but these one-in-a-lifetime fruits from the Land of Hot Sands happened to fall into my lap, literally. The flowers are fresh with thick, sweet petals and I couldn't be helped but be reminded of you when seeing them. I never thought a land with such a dry climate could'
The red ink stops briefly and new words were started at another paragraph. Your widened eyes follow with a thumping heart and bated breath.
Something was crossed out with the same ink before the actual words continued.
'-I promised to be honest, so when I saw these flowers and how their petals melt in my palms, a strong feeling took over me I dont know how to say this but I felt even more in love,its like a spell, I just kept seeing you when watching the petals, keptseeinglove-'
The writing was smeared into a fat splotch, finger prints visible on the tainted letter. The rest was crossed out, as much as you see from the lower part of the paper that wasn't scrumbled up.
Tumblr media
Kalim Al-Asim
The first thing on his mind was to get everyone out of there!
As much as he wanted to laugh at the situation once he realised it wasn't that big of a deal, he quickly noted how tense and annoyed everyone was after this. Especially Jamil.
Not wanting to anger anyone any more, he cleaned everything up, let the ones who were hit the most rest in their rooms, get a shower, eat well, don't worry! - and he and Jamil took care fo the rest. Although, Kalim was the first to rush to your aid of getting you out.
You decided to get cleaned up at the Scarabia dorm too before heading home - and snatching the half-finished love letter before anyone else could see.
Kalim would switch between looking after his dormmates to you, cleaning up the rest to bringing you another warm and dry blanket, carrying something with Jamil to picking out the petals stuck in your hair. And you can be assured that he won't let you help out too, not that you had the strength for that, you are still his guest so just relax! as much as you can now, knowing from who...
After all is done, Kalim is all glued to you. As bold as he is, the young prince is fairly good at reading people and he knows something is up with you. There's somehting distressing you and he wants to help.
Almost like a mother he dotes on you gently and offers you to stay till tomorrow but accepts without hesitation that you just want to go home.
The prince feels bad. He invited you to relax and get your mind off everything but, he thinks as his eyes catch the glimpse of scrumbled up pink paper in your pocket, that all it did was fluster you even more.
For once, his brain seemed to work. He put two and two together and when he looked up from the paper to your flushed, red face, his heart seemed to break.
Jamil Viper
The first one to put two and two together (and much faster than Kalim).
While seeming lost in his work when cleaning everything up, Jamil was secretly obsessing over the thought that no, this was not a coincidence with all the pink things here, no this had to be about you and yes, perhaps this little plan of 'theirs' was unfinished. There's no way something like that was a gesture of love.
BUT why did it have to fall on him? All this work? Literally and figuratively? He mentally sighs.
As annoyed as he is by all this work (WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELAXING WITH YOU FOR ONCE) Jamil was more upset at the gall of this secret admirer. Now that he had witnessed this firsthand by himself and not having to listen to the distraught rambles of Ace and Floyd for once, he finally, finally gets it. Watching you so embarrassed and flustered is a one-of-a-kind experience and it stings evermore knowing it was caused by an unknown admirer.
Unsurprisingly petty at the thought of it. Why aren't you such a flushed mess with him? When he's around? Surely he had charmed you by being nice, cooking for you, helping you out of his free will??? Why have you not once noticed his advances as subtle as they may be?
Though Jamil gets it together real fast. He's vexed and he knows it so there is no need to think about you in such a way, especially when you are the most affected by it. He desperately hopes though that the effects are not positive.
The boy is busy and very glad that Kalim can look out for you in the meantime. As he runs back and forth between the rooms, he notices Kalim's dejected expression and your rosy red cheeks.
For once, he and Kalim share the same thought.
[ wanted to write more for them but did not fit into the atmosphere
tldr: kalim realizes that this was a GESTURE OF LOVE (jojo poses) and even though he knew you had a secret admirer, finally seeing this and seeing you seemed to create a pit his heart just falls into, swallowed by the abyss. he's frozen on the spot, not able to think clearly but knowing he doesn't like it. He's less cheerful because of this and cannot stop thinking about it. He first thought he admired the admirer (lol) for being so brave and showering you in gifts, which in his country is a normal and common way to express someone's feelings. but seeing it firsthand ouch, nuh-uh he does not like it anymore. Briefly thinks of 'fighting' the admirer by showering you in REAL gifts too, but decided against it. it would only make you more embarressed. he at least hopes you can find solace in his presence...he wants to help you.
JAMIL IS NOT AMUSED. He is almost on the same level of unpleased as azul or FLOYD (but less extreme and do not dare to compare him to azul) and he actively becomes more grumpy. the first and maybe only one to directly approach you and ask what is up with that and how you feel about it. if you dont like it, stop it (by asking anyone but Crowley maybe, jamil offers to help no problem (in fact, everyone would volunteer)) IF you do like it....stop it. get some help. let...let Jamil help you, let Jamil love you, fall in love with Jamil!!!!! He is so tired by being the second character of his own life already, he's not gonna let someone else steal the spotlight in your heart! if you'd let him, Jamil would stop giving hints and waste time and finally, finally ask you out.]

Could I have part 4 for The Way to A Man's Heart series with Riddle, Trey, Cater, Jack, and Kalim?
~Oh boy, this Au is getting bigger and bigger. God help me. Come eat you filthy animals~
"The Way to a Man's Heart" (part 4)
(Part 1) (part 2) (part 3)
Notes:I spent a day on this. It's not proof read.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Riddle
I was confused on what to do for him to first but inspiration struck like lightning. This is way too long so if you like Riddle come get yall food.~
Yuu loved tea parties. She had thrown her fair share in her homeland with different themes and styles. With her talent for cooking and knowledge of many cultures she was booked to host events as a host and caterer just like her mom and dad. It was her pride and joy.
But cooking for her friends seemed to be enough. Until it wasn't.
For the past few days she had begun putting ideas in Riddle's head about hosting her own party.
She needed participants for this specific tea party but the problem was it required people who stuck to the rules. No other dorm could be as complaint as Heartslabyul expect maybe Draconia or Pomefiore but they might be too perfect if that makes sense. In reality Yuu just wanted to see Ace and Deuce suffer.
Riddle of course was very enthusiastic about party and added it to the schedule and making attendance mandatory.
Yuu couldn't help smirking knowing just how strict she was going to be.
The following Saturday Yuu rolled out tatami mats on the Ramshackle lawn. She had planted a few trees with help from Malleus and Leona for the event. Sakura trees that had a spell to keep them in bloom. Everything must be set up perfectly.
The Heartslabyul boys showed up at exactly 11:30 as instructed. Each had to wear traditional hakama.
Riddle had trouble following instructions for once. Yuu had specified that their attire be undecorated or plain. It could be colored but not bright or flashy so no red. When he had asked Yuu about it she made quite the face, one he imagined he had made many times at rule breakers.
"Red, is unacceptable. What? Are you getting married or showing off? It's not permitted to wear that unless your the host or a royal. Even then it's unseemly. This is a formal party Riddle not a informal tea." Yuu sounded unlike her usual soft and endearing self. Every word was deliberate and pointed. She took this seriously.
Riddle felt a bit chastised himself. He found that he wanted to follow her directions to the letter because of just how fervent she was. They had something in common now that she was making the rules and he had to forget his own to follow her's.
The group arrived in muted colors with minimal patterns but very well made. Of course they looked rather out of place in Ace, Cater and Riddle's case due to the ban on red. Cater chose yellow, Ace got orange and Riddle had pink. Trey had olive and Deuce had on navy blue.
Grim answered the door with a red and white rope tied around his neck and a gold bell that rang as he walked. He wasn't happy about the bell but he didn't make the rules.
Speaking of rules Grim was ordered to invite everyone inside. Shoes had to be removed and any unneeded items put away. Grim pointed to the scroll on the wall for everyone to read.
Riddle remembered that the scroll depicts the theme of the party.
He couldn't read the symbol on it. Why did she writing in another language?
Everyone took a seat as Grim rolled out a little cart with cups of tea on it. It was rather adorable as the cat served tea to the best of his ability. Yuu must had taught him. Grim was rather proud of himself as he explained that he chose this tea and made it himself.
Cater took plenty of pictures of the cat acting like a little butler. Grim was made into a meme by the magicam community instantly.
Tumblr media
Riddle was very impressed as Grim told the group that the first tea was Sakurayu. A tea made from cherry blossoms pickled in plum vinegar though he chose to fargo salt in the process do to the aftertaste except in Carter's case.
It was a very different to the tea Riddle usually drank but it was very good. The blossoms unfurled in the hot water making a beautiful display. Everyone seemed to enjoy it but Ace and Deuce didn't have a taste for tea.
The group had to wait for Yuu's arrival as she entered wearing a pink kimono with a white obi and haired tied neatly an updo with cherry blossom tasseled hair sticks placed into her hair.
Tumblr media
She greeted everything in a formal bow and made sure everyone in turn bowed as well. When Ace messed up and didn't bow properly at the waist a paper fan wacked him on the shoulder.
"Ace, try again." Yuu said with a smile but her eyes where clearly issuing a threat.
Yeah, Yuu and Riddle are alot alike.
Riddle in turn didn't say a word as. She watched her in astonishment.
Yuu instructed everyone to go outside to use the tsukubai to ritually wash their hands and mouths out before entering the tea garden.
Trey believed that every tea should begin like this. Everyone else but Riddle found it tedious.
Soon enough Grim escorted everyone outside to the garden to wait for the ceremony to begin.
Each of them had to sit in order of prestige. Riddle was seated first closest to the head followed by Trey, Cater, Deuce, and Ace. Ace complain about going last, but Deuce is still older by two months.
Ace began complaining about having to sit uncomfortably in seiza-style. Everyone was uncomfortable but Ace at least said it.
Riddle wouldn't dare admit his discomfort especially so early in the event. This was traditional and Yuu expectations were high. If he failed to meet her standards how could he expect her to meet his. If he can't do something so simple, she'd never trust his judgment again.
The event officially began with the audible closing of the door to the garden and Yuu entering and sitting down last.
"You guys are doing well. Seiza takes alot of practice. Your blood flow should improve overtime to make it easier." Yuu smiled as she turned down the outdoor burner for the water boiler. She neglected to mention how seiza isn't practice the same way since the Japanese government recognized it as a form of punishment considering the pain it caused. But her part her rules. "I hope you guys remember the ceremony takes about 4 hours to complete."
The audible groans that came from the group where hilarious. Yuu believed that the Riddle could use the humbling seeing the stained expression on his face.
"I don't know if I can do it." Deuce said, his face downcast and his teal puppy dog eyes on full display "I'm sorry, Yuu."
Her heart wasn't made of stone and Deuce her poor dumb-dumb was her her weakness.
"If that's the case we have seiza stools for you. It'll look like your sitting in position while taking the weight and stress of your legs." Yuu said giving in.
The boys took the offer, even Riddle knowing he wasn't expected to sit unassisted for 4 hours. He face was red with embarrassment when her noticed Yuu didn't need the aid of a stool.
As it was custom Riddle was promoted to ask questions about the ceremony for the group. The questions were written by Yuu before hand to help Riddle.
"What was the meaning of the scroll?" He asked.
"The theme is cherry blossom viewing. I thought it was best to be held outside." She answered in a rehearsed manor.
"What have you prepared?" He asked again.
"We shall begin with a meal with a watered down plum sake reserved for festivals. It's not strong enough to get drunk off of unless you have an entire bottle. Then we will take a break for a walk or play games. After that the tea ceremony begins. After we can go back to more casual fun." She said casual in an a different manor. She had plans.
After that Yuu presented the meal she had made. The meal served stared with a simple miso soup, rice, and salmon sashimi.
Ace and Deuce ate greedily with Grim and only stopped when Yuu gave them the evil eye. They reluctantly slowed down so they didn't suffocate on their food.
Cater was posting pictures of the food and laughed when the only pictures Vil would like had Yuu in them. Jealous much?
Trey feigned any acknowledgement of his surroundings as he enjoyed the scenery food. Truly an unbothered king.
Riddle fumbled with his chopsticks trying to pick up the fish before a helpful hand folded over his.
"Hold it like this." Yuu said her head over his shoulder and her cheek brushing against his. She moved his fingers into the right position and showed him how to pick up the fish. Before finishing her demonstration she pinched the fish between the wooden sticks and moved them to Riddle's mouth, feeding the headwarden the soy sauce soaked food.
Riddle turned ten shade of red as she pulled away.
Carter watch slack jawed as he dropped his chopsticks.
"Yuu? Can you help? I don't know how to use these." Cater whined calling for her.
Jealous much?
The next dishes where served with a nishime soup with bamboo shoot, lotus shoot and shiitake mushrooms. It was served with pork filled gyoza.
The first year boys loved the dumplings but didn't want to touch the veggie soup until Trey snapped out of revelry and eyed them both. Cater was also picky but knew he should just eat it.
Riddle actually liked the soup, it had a good soy sauce and sake based stock.
After everyone was already getting full, Yuu served dessert. Wagashi. It was a sweet made from mochi, sweet bean paste, and fruits.
Riddle found his favorite food so far and loved the taste of the floral peach.
Trey was in a similar boat and asked for her recipe. Yuu was happy to share as the made plans to make and serve more of these.
Yuu called for a break as everyone had to rest after such a meal. Full and satisfied they walked about viewing the flowers. Riddle took note of how well he and Yuu matched while standing under the cherry tree. A literal cherry tree not the cherry blossom trees.
Yuu showed the boys a few of the old games played during these event. Haiku writing, scripture reciting, origami, music, and dancing.
They didn't know that Yuu could do more then cook, she was actually good at playing the harp of all things and singing.
Trey was really good at tea ceremonies apparently. He truly understood its purpose. Distressing from everyday live and enjoying peace and tranquility. He had grown past simple earthly desires and was in touch with his innermost self and was finding the answer to who he was as a person.
"Okay, someone go get Trey. He's been staring up into the trees for way too long." Yuu said to Carter while watching Trey from a distance.
Trey's journey of enlightening had to end before he accidentally achieved nirvana after eating a bean bun. Honestly, what did Yuu put in that thing?
Yuu refocused on her flower arrangement preparing the actual ceremony. When she finish she rang a bell to signal the boys to come back and sit after washing up again.
Yuu began serving the tea as she poured the Macha power and water and whisked it into thick tea. This is where the rules must be followed to the letter.
Yuu movement must be precise as she prepared and poured the tea. Then she poured the tea into a bowl and bowed to Riddle who in turn bowed to her. He then raised the bowl in respect to her as a host.
He took a sip of the herble mix and complimented her tea as he wiped the rim before passing the bowl to Trey who did the same. On and on they all had to to it. Ace once again complained avout everyone elses lips touching the bowl causing a paper fan to go flying for his forehead this time. Yuu wasn't letting him get way with that one.
The formal part of the tea was just about over as Yuu removes the formal equipment and makes several cups of thin green tea to enjoy with light sakura cakes. She let the boys relax and recalin on the pillow cushions now.
"I was fun right?" She asked as they talked and drank.
"It was scary." Ace said rubbing his red forehead.
"I liked it." Deuce said wolfing down a cake. "The food is really good"
"I got so many pictures. The other dorms are practically green with envy." Cater smiled wickedly as he scrolled through the comment section. Vil was still being petty, and now Neige was paying attention.◇Drama!◇
Trey was still heading for inner peace so he was having a good time. Actually Yuu checked the sake and his might of been stronger then intended. He might actually be a super lightweight and is currently sloshed.
Riddle was sleepy after a big meal and all the activities. He leaned his head on Yuu's shoulder and dozed off. Her kimono was really soft and she smelled like fruit and flowers.
It wasn't exactly what Yuu imagined when she threw this party. She had intended to give Riddle a taste of his own medicine but seeing everyone even somewhat enjoyed the event was fun. It wasn't for everyone, at least not Ace who was the only one to complain. With a few changes here and there the others could really like this. Unfortunately, Yuu wasn't going to just change everything for westerners. Tradition was tradition and she already compromised enough.
She waved them off in the evening as she praised Grim for doing so well today. Trey and Riddle had to be carried back.
Trey
Trey recovered pretty well after the tea party. He thankfully didn't get sent to the heavens after achieving the 6th sense and becoming God.
They still had plans to cook desserts together. Yuu came over to the dorm with a bag full off something special.
She gleefully placed it on the counter as Trey eyed her with suspiciously.
"Guess what I got?" She said in a sing song voice.
"Something you want us to cook I'm guessing." Trey answered attempting to peer in the bag.
"Well yes, but that's not what I asked." Yuu pouted as she scooped up the bag to keep it away from Trey.
Trey wasn't going to play her game so he when back to making tarts as Yuu realized she wasn't getting anything out of him.
Trrreeeeyyyyy!" She whined as she pulled on Trey's apron.
Trey ignored her as he stirred the raspberry jam filling. When Yuu continued to whine he reached over to pat her head like a toddler who was demanding attention. Yuu reluctantly gave in and showed Trey the ingredient.
It was Hakuhou peaches. They were a top of the line peach known for its sweet, floral taste and soft texture. It made great treats.
Trey cut up slices to try so he could best see how to cook it.
Yuu showed him her recipe for peach tarts and the intended crowning dish for the day, peach flan.
Tumblr media
Flan was difficult to get right, the consistency was hard to get right, the glaze must be glassy and just thick enough. The bigger the mold the harder to get it out with it falling apart.
Of course Yuu used a big mold and got it out without trouble.
"Oh my God, fuck you. Of course you did it perfectly the first try." Trey said exasperated with no real heat. Yuu laughed as he pouted now.
Yuu cut a slice of the flan and offered it to Trey to eat. Trey feigned reluctance and took a bite.
"It's really good." He sighed.
Yuu gently encouraged him as he took a napkin and wiped the caramel from the side of Trey's face.
"We can try something different."
Cater
Cater was a spice hound and was foolish enough to challenge Yuu. His idea was to do a live video of him trying Yuu's spiciest dish from her homeworld in a bid to make a new internet challenge.
Yuu almost immediately told Carter no. He wasn't ready for that. Cater wasn't listening though and insisted. He eventually wore her down and live on the air she placed a bowl of black dried ghost pepper noodles.
Tumblr media
She advised him to be careful so he doesn't burn a hole in his stomach. She went easy on him by removing the seeds from the pepper for his own good.
"Thanks to our lovely chef Yuu, we have the best possible food for our challenge made hot and fresh. " Cater said pulling Yuu into frame why the hip. Because the camera perspective was at Cater level while sitting the audience couldn't see above Yuu's bust.
The viewers didn't mind as the made comments about wanting her "hot and fresh."
"Well that's enough fan service. Let's eat!" He said grabbing his chopsticks.
It went downhill fast as tears where shed and his nose was running. This didn't stop him because he wouldn't stop eating because it was, too good.
At some point Yuu took the bowl away and gave Cater a glass a milk. He was in too much pain to be cohesive now as he rested his face in Yuu's apron.
"Sorry, everyone but we need to cut here. We exercise personal safety in what we eat and seeing as Cater is in no condition to continue this is the end." Yuu said comforting her stupid friend by stroking his head but she was still as mischievous as always.
"This is what happens when you dont listen. Say goodbye Cater." Yuu cooed.
"Goodbye Cater." He moaned in pain, his face red fr the heat.
"Good Boy." She said cutting the feed.
When Cater finally recovered he got the internet fame he wanted. The trending tags were #ChefMommy, #Spicynoodechallange, #ChefYuu, #hotandfresh, #HeNeedsSomeMilk, and #bisexualmoment (yall better not use these. I will not be held responsible for making these tags.)
There were clips everywhere of the video. Memes of his face crying in Yuu's clothes that read "Me when my biwife says no more chicken nuggies"
Fans demanded Yuu to come back or for her to make her own channel.
Jack
Jack was probably the most normal person to feed. When he wanted something, he asked. No trick or games.
That is until Yuu had another fight with Leona and Leona banned Yuu from the dorm and giving food to Savanaclaw members.
Ruggie didn't listen and was staying at Ramshackle until it blows over because he wasn't giving up Yuu's food for anything.
Jack was caught between a rock and a hard place. He didn't like it but he complied.
It didn't help watching Ruggie all his fellow first years eating her lunches. She even made pear parfait for him and he couldn't have any.
Yuu thought it was painful to watch as he gave her puppy dog eyes.
Jack came up a convoluted work around. He would just sneak over to Ramshackle in his wolf form and eat there. As long as someone other then Yuu gave it to him then it wasn't "Yuu's" food.
He didn't feel guilty wolfing down a waygu steak and potatoes, lick his chops in satisfaction.
Tumblr media
He still urged Yuu and Leona to call of their feud to no avail. He had to give up and chose a side. To bad Leona didn't nearly enough for Jack to side with him. Yuu was his classmate, gave him good food, cared about him alot, and smelled better.
It helped that Yuu loved feeding him more in his wolf form.
Epel
Epel walked back to Pomefiore with his arms full of takeout containers. Yuu made a Sunday dinner full of souther comfort foods.
Fired chicken, greens, Mac n' cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a cinnamon apple pie.
Epel felt like he could sleep for days.
He had told Yuu that he missed home and when he talked about his grandmother's food their was a glint in her eye. She had gone behind his back to send a letter to his grandma and they began sharing recipes.
Yuu cooked everything to the letter.
When Epel took his first bite he almost cried. I was just like gram's but it reminded him of Yuu as well. He could taste a seasoning only she used.
Tumblr media
He made sure to take back as much a possible and keeping his envious dorm mates from taking it. He knew Rook and Vil were snagging his food even if they were playing innocent. They could get their own. Yuu made this for him.
Around the holidays Yuu was at his house with Professor Crewel and Headmaster Crowley. She was cooking with Epel's grandmother who made not so subtle hints about her joining the family in the future.
Kalim
Yuu actually had no interest in cooking for Kalim. He made it clear he didn't eat anything that Jamil didn't make. Why step on someone else's toes.
She understood that everyone has preferences and fears are valid. She trusted Jamil to know what Kalim likes. She just cooked food for Jamil instead.
One evening while Jamil was cooking Yuu was in the kitchen feeding him bites of the lunch she made him that he forgot to eat since he was busy. Most people stared clear watching the affectionate scene but Kalim was too interested to say put.
He wanted in on this much to Jamil's annoyance.
"I want some." Kalim popped up, mouth open to a bid to be fed like a baby bird like Jamil.
"No, I couldn't eat earlier because I was so busy. It's mine." Jamil growled as he cooked Kalim's dinner. "Besides you'll spoil your appetite."
"He's right, Jamil is working hard to cook for you. You don't want to ruin that." Yuu said half heartedly. It's not like she didn't want to give him any, it's just that she respected Jamil.
"Not even a little bite?" Kalim said pitifully pulling on Yuu's sleeve.
"I'm sorry." Yuu sighed.
Still when Jamil's back was turned she spooned a serving of chicken Tajine into Kalim's mouth. Kalim was elated and gestured for more. He really liked it.
Tumblr media
Yuu felt guilty but she couldn't help herself. She gave him more whenever Jamil wasn't looking, all the while feeding Jamil.
Was this cheating or betrayal? Probably not. If Jamil knew he didn't say anything.
Kalim got used to being fed after this and when Yuu was around he only wanted her to give him food. This made parties difficult as everyone watched Kalim being served by hand.
Jamil only sighed at Kalims spoiled behavior but he didn't have to cook every single day now so the break was a relief. This is why he told her not to give him food. Kalim was like a stray cat once you feed him once you can't get rid of him.
Crowley
Crowley knew he was being left out. Everyone in the teacher's lounge eagerly ate Yuu's cooking. The staff actually forced him to bankroll the operation to increase student moral which was working very well.
But where's his lunchbox? What about Crowley and his hunger? Was his child so cruel to leave him starving?
Yes. Yes, she was. If he was a better guardian then maybe he'd get food.
This actually did show Crowley just how bad his relationship with Yuu was. He was the only one left without anything.
He tried to get close, but she was always too busy for him. He hung around Ramshackle with the excuse of fixing up some stuff. When he did she asked him to focuse on the portal back to her home.
He eventually gave in and made some progress and made a small portal he could manage. I would be a long time before he could do any more then that. She could use it to send letters and talk to her family as well as grab small items from home. I was more then enough for Yuu who cried hugging him.
Crowley wasn't lying to her, he was looking for a way back for her but he had doubted his ability to do it it takes a lot of magic and required the aid of lots of people. He outdid himself by creating a stable portal that could stay open constantly. Yuu could even use it to get ingredients from her realm.
He had to promise her family to take care of her no matter what and made his guardianship offical with their consent.
He forgot about the lunchbox thing eventually due to caring more about her than the food. When he visited Ramshackle one evening he saw her making something and decided to join her. He wasn't good at cooking but he enjoyed that atmosphere. He messed up a few times but Yuu laughed and showed him how to fold the dough.
They placed the toppings on their pizza and put them in the oven. His came out a bit sad but at least Yuu's tuned out fine. They cute it up and sat down for a dinner of pizza, salad and pasta.
Tumblr media
He could be a better parent but he was making progress.

A Twisted Adventure (700 special ft the second years)
This is late but thank you for 700 followers!! You guys are the best :)
Summary: Who are the heros who can save Yuu's life? The second years, of course!
Note: platonic second years x Yuu/reader, crack, chaos, humor, and Grim breaking the fourth wall. Loosely based on the LEGO Disney Princess Castle Quest
Warning: fem Yuu/reader, not beta read, and possible ooc characters
Word Count: 5.6k
Masterlist: here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hear me, whoever is out there. Send me your greatest heroes to grant my wish. My master's life is in their hands. 
Tumblr media
If there's one thing that went through the second year's minds right now, they understood how Yuu felt being transported to another world. 
The second years groaned from their spots on the floor. They looked up to find themselves in a vast room. There were multiple bookshelves surrounding them and papers scattered on the floor. On the other side was a large dome that reminded the students of a coffin.
"Where are we?" Silver groaned. His eyes landed on a window that had a purple aura outside of it. The last thing he remembered was walking to class with Kalim, and now he was here. 
"I have no idea." Jamil brushed the dust off of his school uniform and scanned the room. Floyd landed on top of Riddle; Jade was helping Azul stand up; Silver had a guarded position in front of Kalim, and Ruggie was fixing his hair next to Jamil. 
"Finally, you've arrived! I have been waiting a long time for you all." A familiar voice called out. The group turned to see Grim walking into the room with a relieved look. He was wearing his ceremonial robes instead of his bow. 
"What do you mean, Grim? I thought you were in Ramshackle?" The first in the group, Azul, asked while wiping the dust out of his school uniform. He recalled the cat monster sleeping there with the ADeuce duo. 
"Ramshackle? What's that?" Grim tilted his head. "That's beside the point. My master was hit with a curse, and she won't wake up. Her magic seems to be weakening too, which also affects me as her familiar."
Riddle pushed Floyd off to the side and stepped towards Grim. "Did you use your magic to summon us here?"
"I did. I called for heroes, and it summoned you all."
"Hero, you say?" Jade's smile looked polite, but there was eerie about it. "We are far from that except for Kalim and Silver." His eyes turned to the duo. 
"We would be happy to help!" Kalim exclaimed, but Jamil held him back. 
"Oh no! We don't know anything about Grim's master."
"Let me show you." Grim ran towards the back of the room with the others trailing behind him. He stopped once he was in front of a glass coffin (that looked very familiar to Riddle, Azul, and Jamil) and opened it. Inside was a very familiar Prefect lying on a fluffy cushion. Instead of her NRC uniform, she wore a blue and yellow dress and had a red ribbon on her hair.
"Is that Yuu?" Ruggie asked as he placed his hand on the glass. He inspected Yuu's chest (not in a perverted way) to see if she was breathing. Luckily for everyone, she was. "But she does not have magic."
Grim jumped on Yuu's lap and looked at them questioningly. "What do you mean? Yuu always had magic. Anyways, are you all going to help out or what?"
"Is Shrimpy trying to do a Magicam challenge?" Floyd suddenly stood up, excitement in his eyes. "I've heard of one where you slap someone awake," Floyd said as he ran up to the coffin, pushed Ruggie aside, opened it, and grabbed Yuu. "Oi! Wake up, Shrimpy!" He yelled at her sleeping face while slapping both of her cheeks. Grim could only watch in horror. 
"Stop hitting my human!"
Feeling the second-hand embarrassment, Riddle attempted to stop Floyd with Grim but was unable to.  
"I don't think that's how it works, Floyd," Jade said while trying to hide a laugh after watching Riddle. 
"Oh, I've heard of a situation like this!" Kalim jumped with joy. "I heard of a princess who slept in a forest, and a prince had to wake her up with a kiss! Does that mean we have to do that to Yuu?" 
"Is that what I need? A princess to wake me up?" Silver muttered to himself. Meanwhile, Floyd stopped slapping Yuu, and his mood shifted. 
 "No thanks," Floyd said nonchalantly, letting go of Yuu. Her body fell down in a plop, and the ribbon on her head was askew, 
"Floyd! Why did you do that? Don't you know how to respect women?" Riddle said through gritted teeth. 
Floyd rolled his eyes. "Of course I do. Yuu is sleeping anyways, and her bed looks pretty soft to me." He pointed at Yuu's rhythmic breathing in her chest. "See, she is still alive."
Riddles's face turned red from anger. "That is not the point!"
"Look, people! Let's just try to find a way to go home." Ruggie held his magical pen out and pointed it to a door. 
Nothing happened. 
Ruggie swung his arm again. "What the heck?! Why aren't you working?" He kept swinging his arm around and yelling. “Bibbidi bobbidi boo!” No sparks were coming out of the pen. 
"Maybe mine will work?" Silver walked up to Ruggie and mimicked him. "Ha!" He exclaimed, but nothing happened. "What is going on?" He brought his pen close to his face and examined it. "I thought you said that Yuu could do magic? Our pens should work if she does."
Grim shook his head. "Her magic is being used to protect this castle from outside threats." He pointed at the window that showed the purple aura. Silver looked out the window once more and looked more closely. 
"We are in a dome?"
"Mhm, and magic is limited here. This dome is Yuu's Unique Magic, Fantasia. Because of that, you all are limited to what magic you can use."
"I see." Jade hummed as he held his chin in his hand. "If Ruggie's normal magic did not work, perhaps we need something like our Uniue Magic?" He looked to Grim, who nodded. 
"Great. Just great!" Floyd wailed and threw his arms up in the air.  
Jamil only rolled his eyes. "Does waking up Yuu mean we can go home?"
Grim nodded, and Ruggie frowned. 
"Hold up. I ain't doing this for free. We deserve an award!" Ruggie exclaimed, causing Riddle to side-eye him. 
Grim felt a headache forming. "Fine, you humans. I have some great treasure lying here in this castle…"
Ruggie grinned and threw an arm over Jamil's shoulders. "Well, why didn't you say that earlier? We should help our dear friend out. For her safety, of course." 
Azul pushed up his glasses and joined the duo. He had a gleam that screamed thaumarks in his eyes. "I agree. What do we need to help the angelfish?"
Grim excitedly jumped out of the coffin and ran towards a big map on the wall. "You need to gather three ingredients. A rainbow pearl from a cave in Coral Beach, a golden flower from the Haunted Forest, and a dragon's scale. Those ingredients can make the potion to wake Yuu up."
"I see." Jade walked up to the map to study it. He turned to Grim, "Where might the dragon scale be?"
Grim shrugged. "I don't know. I never found the location."
"Really?" Jade leaned down and smiled, which sent shivers down Grim's fur. "I think you might know it."
"Nya?!"
"Jade, that's enough." Riddle said sternly. He turned to address the others, unaware of the eerie smile Jade sent to Grim. "We need to find these items so we can go home."
Silver crossed his arms. "And how do we do that?"
"Three of us have been in a similar situation before." Riddle briefly made eye contact with Azul and Jamil. "We just need to split up to find the ingredients."
"But we don't know where the dragon scale is." Silver countered. 
"I agree," Azul nodded and turned to Riddle. "As housewardens with experience in this situation, we should lead two groups instead. We know where two of them are. Let's find them first and then find the dragon scale after."
"I agree with Azul. Let's split up based on the locations. Jamil, Silver, and Ruggie, you all go to the Haunted Forest with me. I trust your magic will work in this area."
"No way am I leaving Kalim with them." Jamil protested and pointed at the Octotrio accusingly. "Who knows what they would do?"
Floyd suddenly perked up and joined the group. "I don't see what you should be worrying about Sea Snake. Sea Otter was fine with us before. Plus, his Unique Magic is suited for finding the pearl."
"I agree." Azul nodded with a smile on his face. "Kalim would be in good hands."
Jamil frowned, clearly not trusting Azul, and turned to Kalim, who only smiled. 
"Everything will be fine, Jamil. Focus on working with the others."
"Fine, but if something happens, then let me know."
Grim clapped his paws, and they began to glow. "Good, now let's focus on saving my human. I will give you two a bracelet to wear. Break it so you can come back here." A purple and black bracelet appeared on Azul and Riddle's arms. The group was surrounded by blue light, transporting them to the next part of their quest. 
Tumblr media
Somewhere near a sunny tropical island, Jade, Floyd, and Kalim finally landed in the water. 
"Ah, this water is so refreshing," Floyd sighed in his merform.
Jade nodded. "I agree. It feels like we're back home." He swam around the coral reef for good measure. 
"Has anyone seen Azul?" Kalim asked, looking around. A very girly scream could be heard coming closer to them at that moment. A familiar silver-haired figure fell ungracefully into the water. 
"I HAVE BEEN FALLING FOR 30 MINUTES!" Azul yelled, causing the others to snicker. "Don't laugh! It is embarrassing that you all look unscathed compared to me!"
"Couldn't be me," Floyd smirked. 
Luckily for Azul, he had Kalim by his side. 
"Look on the bright side, Azul. Now, all we have to do is find the pearl, and then we can go home." 
Azul groaned. "My poor business is probably in flames by now."
Ding…ding…ding
"What is that?" Kalim asked, unaware of the looks on the other's faces. 
"I know that sound."
"Man, it's been a while since I heard that."
"I have a strange feeling about this." Azul turned to find the once-sunny sky disappearing as the fog rolled in. The bell chimed louder, and a giant shadow appeared. The sound of people's voices grew louder by the second. 
Floyd quickly grabbed Kalim. "We gotta hide Sea Otter." He said and dived down; Jade followed behind with Azul. The group hid behind some nearby coral to watch without being spotted. 
"What is going on?" Kalim whispered; his eyes watched the ship dock, and a figure with a big hat walked out. 
"Pirates," Azul replied. "People in the Coral Sea are not big about pirates themselves. I heard a former Queen met her tragic fate after accidentally running into some."
Jade nodded in agreement. "I heard she was valiantly trying to save her children, but she did not make it back."
"Pirates are not common now, so merpeople don't care about them anymore," Floyd added. "We prefer to explore their sunken ships instead."
"I see," Kalim replied. Suddenly, his eyes widen. He knew that gray and gold coat anywhere, having seen that once for Halloween. The smug look and the lion tail tied it all together. "No way! Why is Leona here?"
Azul glared at the beastman barking orders at his subordinates. In a typical Leona fashion, the crewmembers scattered across the island as Leona lazed around with a smirk on his face. Azul turned to the others. 
"Everyone, we must move before Leona gets the pearl."
Floyd raised an eyebrow. "And how did you come to that conclusion?"
Azul gestured to the beastman. "Look at his face. That is a face you typically see on Ruggie. Yet, Leona has it here. I'm certain he is looking for the pearl as well."
"Probably to sell it!" Kalim's eyes widen.
Azul snapped his fingers. "Exactly, and I refuse to retrieve that pearl by buying it out of his hands. I have more priorities than falling for his scheme."
"And how are we going to find the pearl? It could be anywhere on that island." Jade asked with an inquisitive look.
Azul glanced at Kalim and smirked. "I have an idea. But first, we need to get to the other side of this island."
Tumblr media
"We're here," Jade told Azul as the group entered from the other side. Kalim let go of Floyd, and the two walked up to shore. 
The group headed inside the jungle. "We should be able to find the cave before Leona does. We just have to be sneaky about it."
"Maybe when we find it, Azul, we could camouflage and grab it," Kalim said aloud. 
Jade shook his head. "Leona has a heightened sense of smell. He would be able to track Azul before we know it. Plus, Azul is not the fastest on land."
"I can hear you!" Azul hissed at the twin behind him.
Jade smiled innocently. "I know."
The group continued quietly navigating through the jungle until they reached a clearing. They saw a cave with a lake surrounding it. There was no one in sight, and it was eerily quiet. 
Azul signaled to Jade with his hand and turned to the other two. "You two know what to do?"
Floyd rolled his eyes. "Duh, I was listening the whole time."
Azul sighed. "I want to cover our bases before we go. Remember what to do when you hear the signal." 
"You got it," Kalim whispered. With that, the group went their separate ways. Floyd jumped into the lake, and Kalim hid in the foliage. Meanwhile, ade and Azul walked inside the cave. 
"This cave seems small. I say we find the pearl and get out of here." ade said as he examined the interior. The cave was small enough for the two to stand side by side. It was dark, like the depths of the Coral Sea. 
"I agree. It should not be long before we do." Azul replied. 
The two continued their trek until they saw it. Not far from them was a clam about the size of a palm sitting on top of a rock. Although there were many clams nearby, the two knew that was the one they were looking for. 
Azul picked up the clam and began to put it in his pocket, but he suddenly froze. 
Jade chuckled. "I had a feeling this was too easy." He felt a sharp object hovering over him. 
"Indeed." A familiar voice said. His sword pointed at Azul's throat. "Now, hand over the pearl before I turn you into sand."
"Why am I not surprised?" Azul glared at Leona. "You would use us to do the dirty work to get the treasure yourself. How ironic."
"You could run, but that would be pointless. My men are outside waiting for you, so you either hand me the pearl scotch free, or you and your friend die right here." He pushed the blade closer to Azul, enough to draw a drop of blood. 
Azul chuckled. "You really cornered us…Alright." He put his hands up in surrender. "You win." He put his hand in his pocket and handed Leona a clam. 
Leona eyed the clam suspiciously. "Open it."
Azul's eyes widen in shock. "What?! You don't trust me?" He sighed dramatically. Leona gave Azul an unimpressed look. "Fine, I'll do it, but you must move the sword away first." Leona pulled his sword back as Azul placed his hands on the shell and glanced at Jade. "NOW!"
Leona narrowed his eyes at Azul as a chirping sound resonated through the cave. He pushed his sword back at him. 
"What did you do?!"
"Respite in the scalding sands, a neverending party. Dance! Sing! Oasis Maker!"
The small cave quickly filled with water, shocking Leona and his crew, but gave Azul and Jade the needed window. The eel kicked the sword off his enemy's hands and used the end to knock out the pirate. Jade quickly changed into his eel form and grabbed Azul as the water reached their shoulders. 
"You want the pearl? Well, here you go!" Azul threw the clam towards Leona, who was treading through the water like a wet cat. 
Azul and Jade swam out and met with the others, who were busy running away from their own pursuers. 
"Try and catch me, losers!" Floyd laughed as he used his Unique Magic to deflect their attacks. Meanwhile, Kalim used his water to knock out some pirates. 
"Let's get out of here!" Azul yelled, causing the other two to stop and make a run for it. The group did not stop until the Tweels were in their merforms carrying the others into the ocean.
Tumblr media
Everyone knew that Jamil did not stand out in class. They did not expect him to scream the moment he "thought" he saw a spider. 
"Jamil, everything is going to be okay," Silver said reassuringly as he attempted to comfort him.  
Jamil let out a yelp when he felt something run across his arm. "No, it's not as long as we are stuck in this forest! Let's find the flower and go!"
"Maybe he should've gone with Kalim's group?" Ruggie asked, but Silver shook his head no. 
"That would be bad too. Sebek once told me that if Jamil ever got stuck on a deserted island, he would want to leave because of the bugs."
Ruggie groaned. "Great! Just great! So we're stuck with him instead!"
"I am literally right next to you!"
Riddle felt a vein pop out of his forehead as Jamil screamed for the nth time. "JAMIL IF YOU SCREAM ONE MORE TIME, IT IS OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!"
Owwooooo
"What was that?" Jamil asked. 
"It sounds very familiar…" Silver trailed off. 
Everyone looked around cautiously except for Ruggie. 
"That sounds like a wolf. Maybe it's Jack?"
A pack of three wolves that were smaller but more vicious than Jack jumped out of the bushes. They eyed the group suspiciously. 
"You think they are nice like Jack?" Silver asked.
Grrrr…
"Definitely not!" Ruggie grabbed Silver's jacket and bolted in a random direction. "Everyone, run for it!"
Tumblr media
Riddle panted as he leaned against a tree for support. The others rested on the ground to catch their breaths. 
"Did we," huff, "lose them?" Jamil turned to where they ran from. The forest was quiet once again. 
"I think so," Ruggie said, looking around the area.
"I hope so. I'm winded!" A soft voice added.
"Silver, you need to speak up."
"That wasn't me."
The boys froze, now alert, and scanned their surroundings. 
"Who goes there?" Riddle commanded and held his pen like it was his scepter. 
"Over here!" A skunk with honey-brown eyes waved his paw to get the group's attention. "Hi everyone! I'm Neige!"
Riddle blinked once. "Silver, please tell me you are the only one who heard the skunk talk."
"I heard it," Silver said, and Jamil nodded. 
"I think everyone heard him, Riddle," Ruggie whispered. 
Neige giggled (giggled for crying out loud!), "I overheard you are looking for the enchanted flower. If you want, I could lead you to it. This forest might be too confusing for tourists."
"Oh, we are far from tourists." Jamil scoffed quietly, and Riddle elbowed him. 
"That would be wonderful. Now, is there any way we could avoid the wolves?"
Neige tilted his head. "The wolves? I have not met any wolves here. I usually spend time with my forest friends in an abandoned cottage." He smiled, and a bright aura formed around him. 
The boys groaned. 
"I don't mind making the skunk my meat shield then," Ruggie muttered, causing Jamil to snicker. 
Neige was too unaware to notice. "Just follow me, and we can help your friend in no time!"
Tumblr media
The small skunk leads the group through the forest. Luckily for everyone, they were moving fast enough to not let a spider crawl on Jamil (again). Neige eventually stopped moving when they got to a lake. 
"There it is!" He pointed to the center, where a golden flower lay on a small piece of land. 
"Well, that was easy," Ruggie chuckled. 
"We should get the flower and head out of here," Jamil said and started discussing a plan with Riddle, unaware of a comically large spider coming down from a tree.  
This was noticed by Silver. "Uhh.." His eyes watched as the spider crawled down from its web and landed on Jamil's shoulder. 
Ruggie looked at Silver questioningly. "What are you-" His eyes widened when he saw what Silver was looking at. "Holy shi-"
"Shhhh," Silver quickly covered Ruggie's mouth with his hand. "We need to get it out before Jamil notices."
Ruggie pushed Silver's hand away. "Who's we?" he whispered. "You saw it first! You should get it!"  
"Fine, but distract him and Riddle before either one notices."
"What are you two whispering about over there?" Riddle walked up to the two, a frown etched on his face. Meanwhile, Jamil only watched, unaware of the spider happily dancing on his shoulder. The sight would be hilarious anywhere else but where they currently are. 
Both Ruggie and Silver let out an audible gulp. They prayed to the Great Seven that Jamil would not notice. 
"Well?" Riddle asked, tapping his shoe against the dirt. 
"Oh, they're just looking at that spider on your friend's shoulder. The one with the long hair," Neige smiled, causing Ruggie and Silver to glance at each other. 
"What?!" Jamil looked to his left and saw the enormous spider grinning at him. "GET OFF OF ME!!!" He slapped his shoulders multiple times in hopes of getting it out. Meanwhile, Silver joined Jamil to stop him from hurting himself. 
Riddle felt a vein pop out of his forehead. "THAT'S IT! NOW THE WHOLE FOREST KNOWS WHERE WE ARE BECAUSE OF A SPIDER!"
Grrrrr
Ruggie sighed. It looked like Jamil was one of many who let everyone know where they were. 
The wolves came back, their eyes focused on each student. Riddle was not having it. 
"OFF WITH YOUR-"
"Wait!" Silver put his body in front of Riddle's pen. "Let me handle the wolves. You and Jamil focus on getting the flower."
Silver ran up to the wolves. "I know we are in your territory, but my friends just need that flower over there." He explained calmly and pointed to the gold flower. "And we will be out of your way."
The biggest wolf, whose fur color reminded Silver of Vil's hair, looked at Silver suspiciously and growled again as a warning. 
"Here, let me." Ruggie patted Silver's shoulder and walked to the giant wolf. Ruggie started using a mix of growls and barks, to which the wolf responded by doing the same. Minutes had passed when Ruggie turned his attention to Silver. 
"This wolf said that he will allow us to take the flower as long as we leave after."
"Alright, Jamil, come with me." Riddle said and made his way into the lake. Jamil sighed, holding his pen out in a protective stance as Riddle carefully picked the flower. 
The wolf's growl brought Silver and Ruggie's attention back to them. 
"The wolf wants us to go now," Ruggie said, slowly backing away as the wolves advanced toward them. "Riddle!"
"On it!" Riddle threw his bracelet on the ground and stomped on it. Suddenly, a familiar light enveloped the group, causing the wolves to stop moving and Neige to jump away. Everyone felt light as they floated up until they disappeared with a poof, leaving no trace of them behind. 
Tumblr media
It was cold and eerie. It was far different from Yuu's warm and inviting castle. 
Riddle felt exhausted as he sat up. His grey eyes scanned his surroundings. Instead of a castle, they were in an empty field surrounded by thorns. "Where are we?"
"Perhaps we came here after getting our ingredients?" Azul said, pushing up his glasses. 
Jade rested his fist on his chin. "It seems like the bracelets brought us somewhere else."
"Maybe Grim brought us here?" Kalim asked, but Floyd shook his head. 
"Can't be. Even Grim didn't know where the place was."
Jamil frowned. "But where are we supposed to get the scale from?"
Silver felt a familiar feeling in his chest. He could not explain it, but their area was ominous and filled with black thorns. The sky was dark, and the only light sources came from the multiple torches with green fire. It looked like Diasomnia, except there was no dorm in sight.
"Guys, where are we?" Ruggie asked; he felt his hair sticking up like he was a cat. 
"This looks a lot like Diasomnia," Kalim said while examining the thorns. "Maybe we are in another part of the dorm?"
Silver shook his head. "No, I don't recognize this."
Stomp 
Stomp
Azul's eyes widened, and he felt a chill down his spine. How hiding in his octopus pot would be more ideal than now. "What is that?" He turned to the Leech twins, who both looked startled. 
Suddenly, a green fire headed towards the group, barely missing Kalim, or else he would be on fire (again). Loud stomps filled the room in a steady rhythm that grew louder by the second.
Stomp
STOMP
"Get ready!" Riddle pulled out his magical pen, and everyone huddled around each other. Their eyes trained on the fog, and a giant shadow emerged. The shadow grew bigger until it became draconic. A huge dragon with purple-black scales appeared. Its green eyes focused on the group like it looked at its next meal. Everyone had a mix of fear and alertness on their faces. 
All except one. 
"Wait, I know this dragon," Silver broke formation and started walking towards the dragon. 
Jamil grabbed his wrist before he took a step. "Silver, are you crazy? You could get killed by that thing!"
"I know what I am doing. Trust me." Jamil let Silver go, and everyone watched him slowly walk to the dragon. Silver remained neutral as the dragon stopped and looked down at him. "Your Highness. It has been so long since I've seen you. I hope that you are doing well."
Everyone's jaw dropped.
"No-"
"Way."
"Wait, so you're saying that dragon is Umiushi?!"
"How interesting."
Malleus ignored the group. "You are not Lilia, yet you remind me of him. Why is that?"
Silver briefly glanced at the group before answering. "Lilia is my mentor."
"A human? Please. What do you want from me?"
Silver's expression remained neutral, already familiar with the term. "My friend is cursed with a sleeping spell, and we need one of your scales to help wake her up."
Malleus frowned. "Why should I give one to you? A mere human." He said with disgust. 
"But Lilia is my-"
"Lilia is not here to defend you." Malleus cut him off, causing someone, probably Kalim, to gasp behind them. "Why should I hand my scale to you?"
"You'll see," Silver turned around and returned to his friends. "Azul, I need to make a contract with you."
Azul blinked, clearly taken aback. "Of course. What's in it for me?"
"I promise to work at Mostro Lounge for the next month if you can conjure a Gao-Gao Drakon-kun with your contract."
"Aren't those things for little kids? Would Malleus like that?" Ruggie piped up and glanced at the waiting dragon. 
Riddle shook his head. "Deuce once fixed Malleus' before. Malleus was so grateful that he gave Deuce a rare ore found only in Briar Valley."
Both Ruggie and Azul's eyes widen. "A rare ore, you say?" Azul snapped his fingers, and a bright golden contract and a fishbone pen appeared. "Just sign here and help our friend in need." He smirked with a gleam in his eyes.
Once the contract was signed, the contract disappeared, and a small purple and black device appeared. Malleus watched with a curious gaze as Silver returned.
"What is that?" Malleus' eyes glowed in interest. 
“This is Gao Gao Drakon-kun. It is a virtual pet that you take care of."
Malleus eyed the device with curiosity. "Give it to me, human."
"Not until you give me the scale, then we can trade."
"Very well." Malleus plucked a scale off his body and transformed back to the familiar form the second years were used to. He looked exactly the same, except he wore a long black robe with purple lining the inside. He held out the scale for Silver and examined the new device. "How does this work?"
"You press this button to turn it on." Silver explained. Meanwhile, the rest of the second years moved closer but remained cautious in case Malleus transformed again. "It can help keep you company until Lilia returns."
"I see." Malleus looked at the group and smiled. He waved his hand, and a door appeared. "You wish to return to your friend, right? Use that door, and you will be with her."
Tumblr media
Grim's face lit up as a bright door revealed the second years and the needed ingredients. The cat monster rushed to greet the group. 
"You guys made it, and no one got hurt in the process!"
"Luckily," Riddle mumbled. 
"Is it just me, or does this Grim remind me of those RSA guys?" Ruggie whispered, to which Kalim and Silver agreed. 
Grim did not seem to notice Ruggie's remark. "You can drop the ingredients in there. It should take a few minutes for the potion to be ready," Grim said, pointing to a cauldron with an unknown liquid already boiling inside. Riddle, Silver, and Azul added their respective ingredients to the pot and turned to Grim with a pointed look.
"So where is the treasure you promised for helping Angelfish."
"That's right!" Grim beamed and ran off towards a curtain hanging on a wall. "How could I forget your gift for helping me."
Ruggie and Azul's eyes widen in anticipation. They could imagine the amount of gold and jewels they would receive and how much money they could make. 
"Ta-da!"
Only for their faces to fall flat. 
"THAT'S IT?" "WHAT?" Ruggie and Azul yelled out. "Where's the treasure?" They both turned to the cat monster.
"What do you mean?" Grim exclaimed. "The treasure is right there!" He pointed at the pile of tuna cans, causing Ruggie and Azul to tear up. 
"Typical Grim," Kalim laughed. "Of course, he would give us a mountain of tuna." 
Jamil and Riddle sighed and sat on the sofa. Of course, the greedy duo would think about money when the gift was from Grim. 
"This is some premium tuna," Silver said as he inspected a can. 
"Man, Baby Seal would go crazy if he had this in our world! Shrimpy would have money to spend on other things." Floyd laughed as he threw an arm around Azul. Meanwhile, his brother only patted Azul on his back as the octomer wailed with Ruggie. 
Grim stared at the scene and then at the roof. "These guys are annoying. Why did the author put me in this role? Was the one with the horns or the model not available?" The cat monster sighed and looked to the sky. "What do you mean it is not their story yet?!" The unaware second-year's voices drowned out the one from above as she replied to Grim. Grim sighed and faced the group. "That's it, I'm tired of them." Grim's paws glowed again. "They can go back home. I'll eat this tuna with Yuu instead."
Tumblr media
"AH!" The boys collectively screamed as they sat up. All eyes wandered around to see the familiar colors and furniture of the Scarabia common room. 
"We're..back?" Silver asked, looking bewildered. 
"At least we're away from the tuna," Azul sighed. 
"It seems so," Jade said while brushing dust from his uniform. 
"HA HA, YOU ALL LOOK RIDICULOUS!" Floyd laughed at everyone's current state. Riddle and Silver had a trail of dried-up drool on their mouths, Jade and Azul's hair was disheveled, and the Scarabia duo plus Ruggie had marks on their cheeks from the pillows they slept on.  
Riddle turned as red as his beloved strawberry tarts as he wiped his face with his sleeve. "Shut it, or it is off with your head!"
"Oh, I'm so scared!" Floyd continued chuckling while clutching his stomach. 
"Oh, there you guys are." A new voice, Yuu, called out, entering the common room while wearing the same dress as the other world Yuu. The second years froze. "I thought you guys were studying? I didn't know it was nap time." The guys just stared at her like she was a ghost. "What? Is there something on my face?"
"You are the actual Yuu?" Jamil asked with suspicion while eyeing her dress. 
"And not another version?" Ruggie added. 
Yuu rolled her eyes. "Of course, it is me, or else I could not tell the Three Musketeers here." She pointed at Riddle, Azul, and Kalim, respectively. "That Crowley wanted me to remind them about tomorrow's housewarden meeting." She glared at each of them before returning the way she came. "Now, if you will excuse me, I must get back to shooting Vil's movie before he sends Ortho to hunt me down. I want to get paid for being on time, people!"
The group watched Yuu pick up parts of her dress and walk off, unaware of the shocked look on their faces. They sat in silence to process and question everything until Azul stood up. 
"Well, we had enough adventures for the evening. How about we all eat dinner at Mostro Lounge? Not for free, of course."
The boys sighed and agreed with Azul for once. It had been a very peculiar day. As the group left the dorm, Kalim could not stop thinking about something Yuu had said. 
"If we are the Three Musketeers, Can I be the one that looks like a mouse?" 
"Kalim!"

⤷ ✧ Lilia Vanrouge with a crush
Gender neutral
- order 65 | Headcanon | Lilia
⇥ Silver • Malleus Draconia ⇤
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He hasn’t felt this feeling in years!
There’s this weird thrill he gets when being with you. Just being with you makes him feel fluttery.
He’s borderline clingy, and he’s aware of that. His usual greeting is a little hug. It’s so out of the blue every time since he likes teleporting behind you.
As weird as it sounds, he sometimes listens in on your conversation. He tries to find a good time where your guard is down before scaring you. He’s always hoping to overhear something good about himself.
He played at least ONE otome game because of Idia so he’s into that cliché scenarios with the MC and the love interest.
He lowkey wishes that you would kaebadon him (I’m envisioning this now and I’m giggling).
He doesn’t realize how in love he is, and he’s like “damn I fell that hard?” He humors himself.
He teases way too much. Every sentence he says to you has the intention to fluster you. It doesn’t matter how corny it is, he will say it in front of all of your friends or his dorm students.
“I know this may be like an otome but what we have isn’t a game.”
“Father, stop that.”
He sings to you a lot. He whispers you whatever song he came up with into your ear so only you can hear. He loves to see how flustered you get.
He appears hanging upside down in front of you. You guys almost kiss and even he’s like “I didn’t mean to do that sorry”
He doesn’t really have anyone to gush to but he goes to GloomySamurai AKA Idia.
MuscleRed: O.M.G. You don’t understand. They’re so cute you should’ve seen their face. It was a CG straight of HBLC (HeartBeat Love Council)!
GloomySamurai: Hearing about irl love makes me wanna barf and die
He has a bunch of date plans in his head. He just hasn’t gotten the guts to ask you yet. He asks Kalim and Cater for their opinions and they’re always encouraging him to ask you out. Cater and Kalim have definitely went up to you and were like “my friend thinks you’re cute.”
Kalim and Cater will be his best men at the wedding, they swear on their lives.
He pleasantly surprised when you show signs of liking him back. He just tenses up and nods his head at whatever you’re saying or doing.
Istg he’s so cute he should be my babygirl

Could you do a part 2 when they boys turned into children and their s/o decides to taking care of them? with idia, malleus & riddle please?
Ofc^ personally it was one my favourite hc's to write so it's my pleasure!
First part with leona, azul and kalim here
Part three with vil, rook and silver here
Part four with floyd, lilia and jamil here
Request: idia, malleus and riddle has turned into a children, now their s/o has to take care of them.
Pairings: idia shroud x reader, malleus draconia x reader, riddle rosehearts x reader
Warnings: none, reader is gender-neutral, word 'princess' is used for reader once(malleus)
Tumblr media
Idia shroud
When ortho found his nii-san as a child, a child that is younger than him, he nearly went into overdrive.
Ortho has always been a bit protective of his brother, but he really doesn't know how to take care of a toddler. He tried to search the internet but whatever he did never worked because idia was crying. Loudly.
So he did what he thought best, hand his nii-san over to you. The only responsible person on the campus.
When you saw ortho you enthusiastically waved at the boy, having taken him as younger brother as well, but then you noticed a child with him.
Ortho explained the situation and you were relived that it'll only last for few hours at most.
You take a look at the baby shying away from your gaze, you have to stop yourself from squealing at how cute baby idia is.
He is a smol ball of blue, also very shy.
Idia is a very behaved toddler, only asking you for his game console or snacks in between the sessions.
He tugs at your sleeves asking you to bend so he can whisper in your ear about what kind of snacks he wants.
Not bratty or demanding at all. He is very chill as a baby. Still doesn't likes strangers though.
"Y/n saw me as a baby." He whispers staring at the floor with dead eyes.
Tumblr media
Malleus draconia
Malleus turned into a child, you weren't sure how it happened but you found him crying in backyard of your dorm.
Malleus still had his horns, so you had to take care of them while picking him because they are sharp enough to stab you if not careful.
But once you picked him up, he just. Stopped crying. Instead was looking at you with his big green glowy eyes. You almost felt your heart burst.
Malleus, unlike idia, is very bratty and demanding. And he wants all of you attention on him. Because of him you had to drop grim off at heartslabyul, because you can't take care of two arsonist children.
You called Lilia, who was very happy to malleus as a child again, to take him to diasomnia but malleus refused and Lilia might have gotten the other side of his bangs burned.
Malleus really likes your presence and ramshackle and wanted to stay there forever and protect his princess from any bad prince who might try to take you away.
He said this with oversized white shirt pooling around him and a wooden sword in his hands raised high. A very cute sight, you should've taken a picture.
Malleus doesn't like vegetables, he on the other hand loves fries. You will have to coax him eat vegetables or hide them or grind them, for him to eat.
He will eat fries as a meal all three times a day and as snacks too.
"Fufufu...to think I would turn into a child. But regardless I am grateful to you for taking care of me, child of man.
Tumblr media
Riddle rosehearts
Riddle is still riddle as a kid.
Still very strict about upholding the Queen of hearts laws.
Ace and deuce were screwing around with a potion for the homework for the alchemy class (it was probably brewed wrong) and next thing they knew they had splashed it all over their dorm leader.
Needless to say both of them were ready for a beheading but when no shouts of anger came they looked down to see mini version of riddle.
So they can to only person they knew would be down to help them. You.
Riddle is such a crybaby. Now, he not only shouts in anger, but he also cries.
Riddle is a very good boy, eats his vegetables, does his homework, and doesn't mess around with the things he knows he shouldn't.
He loves when you read him a story before bed. All about the knights, the princes, the princesses and all those legends about the great seven.
But his favourite will always be the Queen of hearts.
He likes to tell you about her in his baby voice, his eyes shining as he tells you about the women he idolizes.
He still loves tea, though. He will drink milk if you insist, but he still prefers tea.
"Ace! deuce! As soon as I find them it'll be off with their head! But, ah, thank you for taking care of me, prefect."

first dates with the vice housewardens
characters: trey, ruggie, jade, jamil, rook, lilia notes: gn! reader, omits ignihyde other first dates: housewardens
trey clover
You were the one to plan the first date, and you chose roller skating. You hadn’t gone to the rink since you were a kid, but it couldn’t be that hard to relearn skating, right?
Wrong.
Trey laughed as you stumbled, surging forward to grab you quickly. “Stop it,” you whined. His laughter continued as he took your hands in his and skated backwards, guiding you carefully.
“How’re you so good at this?” you asked.
“Have to find a way to occupy my younger siblings when our parents want us all out of the house.” He let go of your hands slowly and just when you thought you got the hang of it, you fell again.
“Ow…”
“Don’t worry,” Trey said. “Practice makes perfect. We can come here again.”
“Trey Clover, are you asking me on a second date when we haven’t even finished our first date?”
He smiled broadly, looking unfairly handsome against the dark background of the roller rink. “Yeah, I am.”
ruggie bucchi
You and Ruggie stretched out on the grass, staring up at the sky. Fireflies danced around you, and you let one land on your fingertip. “Make a wish,” you said, bring it closer to Ruggie.
He raised an eyebrow at you questioningly at you but complied, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before blowing lightly on the bug. It flitted away and you watched Ruggie as he opened his eyes. “What did you wish for?”
“Can’t say,” he said with a cheeky smirk, “otherwise it won’t come true, remember.”
“Boo,” you said, laying back down again. You two settled into a comfortable silence as you gaze up at the stars. You pointed at one. “That’s Ursa Major.”
Ruggie nudged you. “Leo,” he murmured, pointing just south. He wiggled closer to you and tapped your shoulder. You turned onto your side to face him and he held a firefly in front of your face. “Make a wish.”
I wish we could stay like this forever. You blew on the firefly.
jade leech
“Jade, look!” you said, grabbing his arm and stopping your hike. You rush over to the side of the trail, where a blue lily sprouts. “These are glow lilies,” you told him. “They’re native to my hometown, I can’t believe there’s one here.”
Jade crouched down beside you, staring at the plant. As evening settled in, the lily lit up, casting a blue glow on your faces. He said, “You seem to like it a lot.”
“It’s my favorite flower since it reminds me of home.”
Jade nodded, admiring the shadows cast on your face before turning back to the flower. “I’ll order some seeds,” he said, “to plant in the botanical gardens.”
“Really? You’d do that?”
“It’s your favorite, isn’t it? If we had them on campus, then I could give them to you all the time.”
jamil viper
Your first date with Jamil was actually at the Asim family’s house. You two had been trying to plan a date for a while but Jamil was always busy, and you didn’t exactly have a relaxing existence as a Night Raven College student. You had let this slip to Kalim accidentally, and he felt awful about it (especially since he was the one who usually called Jamil away) so he invited you to come home with them on the long weekend with the promise of some uninterrupted time with Jamil.
Kalim ushered you into their screening room, which was a verifiable movie theater in their home. You honestly didn’t know how Kalim did it but you perked up when Jamil came in a few minutes later, snacks in hand. He settled in next to you, your knees brushing together, and he asked, “Have you picked out something?”
“This one looks good,” you said, lifting the remote and pressing on one.
Jamil raised an eyebrow at you. “That’s a classic Scalding Sands horror movie… you sure you’re up for that?”
“Yeah!” you said. “I’m braver than you think. Plus, if I get scared, I know you’ll be there to hold me.”
Jamil snorted but you didn’t miss the blush on his cheeks or the way he pressed a little closer to you.
rook hunt
“Wow,” Rook said breathlessly, staring at the painting in front of the two of you. “Look at this, mon cheri! Look at how the artist uses the lights and shadows to draw focus to the figure at the top left corner, and then utilizes those clean lines to take your eye around the whole piece! C’est magnifique!”
You hardly understood what Rook was saying, but you admired his passion and enthusiasm as well as the way his eyes sparkled as he spewed out artistic jargon left and right. The art museum had been his idea, and you had gladly gone along. You liked art but not really beyond just thinking it was pretty. Rook, on the other hand, as you’ve seen, was an art connoisseur — yet another talent to add to Rook’s eclectic collection.
“And this!” He motioned with his free hand (the other was occupied holding yours) to the sculpture beside the painting. “A continuation of the painting, yet separate as well. How beautiful!”
He lifted your joined hands to his heart and then pressed a soft kiss to the back of yours. “Of course,” he added with a wink, “the loveliest piece of artwork is right here with me.”
Your face burned but your mouth split into a bashful smile, and Rook just chuckled, pressing another gentle peck to your warm face. “So bold one minute, so shy the next,” he said. “You’re just full of spectacular surprises.”
lilia vanrouge
When Lilia proposed that your first date be at a rock concert, you couldn’t say that you weren’t surprised. Lilia never struck you as a big music lover, and if he did, you would have guessed he’d be into classical.
The red and yellow filters over the lights cast a sunset orange hue over the crowd, illuminating Lilia’s face in the same shade. Combined with his pale skin, he looked almost golden. Grabbing your hand, Lilia spun you in a tight circle and into his body. He leaned in close and sang the lyrics to the song being performed, pulling back with a wide, bright grin.
You were a never a big fan of crowds — especially ones like this — but there you were, in a crowd of other concertgoers jumping and dancing and shouting, with Lilia right beside you, doing the exact same thing.
You joined in on the dancing, hopping around and following Lilia’s lead, yelling the chorus. Maybe you didn’t mind crowds like these so much, especially with Lilia by your side.

May I have a yandere overblot Jamil Viper x reader please
Yes you may
(Sorry if the ending is unsatisfying, I couldn't find a good way to end it)
Warning(s): fem reader, mind control, forced kissing (bc of the mind control)
Tumblr media
"You can do this, (Y/N)!" Kalim whisper-yelled, giving you encouragement. "And remember! If you need back up, we're right behind you!"
The plan was quite simple. You enter the main building of Scarabia dorm as bait, everyone else is hiding behind cover, unnoticed by Jamil. Jamil attempts to use Snake Charmer on you, but it is counteracted by Floyd casting Bind The Heart just a second before. You act as if you're being mind controlled, doing whatever Jamil asks you to. While Jamil is distracted, Kalim will use Oasis Maker to flood the dorm, getting the rest of the mind controlled students out of there. And by the time Jamil realizes something is wrong, the six of you are already attacking him.
Yes, this plan is very similar to the one you pulled off earlier, when Azul was pretending to be mind controlled... but the beauty of using basically the same plan twice is that Jamil will obviously think "There's no way they're dumb enough to do the same thing twice."
You're the crux of the plan.
But there's a sinking feeling in your gut... something in the back of your mind telling you this isn't going to end well.
As Jamil was praised by his subjects, you made yourself known. You didn't have to do much to make yourself known, though, you stuck out like a sore thumb among the black and red the rest of the Scarabia students were wearing- the outfit you were wearing was a short blue dress, and a crown of jasmine flowers on your head. Kalim made it for you with his magic, and though you appreciated the effort, it felt embarrassing to stand out this much.
"(Y/N), is that you? Jamil asked. What good timing you have, we were just about to begin our celebration. And thank you ever so much for allowing me to become king of Scarabia. I'm more competent than Kalim ever was, this is truly better for everyone."
"Yes, it is, Jamil." You responded, already trying to get him to gain your trust.
"(Y/N), come closer." Jamil told you. You did as asked. "The one you behold is your master. You shall answer when you are asked, and you shall obey when you are ordered."
With that, the plan was fully set in motion.
Maybe that feeling you had was wrong. Maybe everything would turn out well!
"Just so you know, (Y/N)... I'm aware your pathetic friends are here." Jamil told you. Everyone was carried out of their hiding spots by the possessed Scarabia students. "It seems I was careless, allowing all of you to keep your magic pens. Though I am surprised Kalim's party trick was useful for something other than filling a pool."
The possessed Scarabia students stole everyone's magic pens, and the staffs of Kalim and Azul, making sure none of them could use magic. And yet again, Jamil shot everybody away from here, to the edge of the desert as he did before. Everyone except for you.
"Now (Y/N)... Snake Charmer." Jamil whispered to you.
It was an indescribable pain in your head.
"(Y/N), tell me. Who is your master?"
"My master... is..." You couldn't bare the throbbing pain in your head. And then, all at once, it subsided. It was like a wave of static washed over you. Your mind was no longer your own. "My master is you, Jamil."
"Praise me."
"Your greatness knows no bounds, master Jamil. You are fit to rule Scarabia, you are fit to even rule the Land of Scalding Sands. You are a perfect leader. You excel in every class you have. Your unique magic is much more powerful than anyone else's."
"A king needs his queen, and that will be you, (Y/N)." Jamil told you. "Kiss me."
Without hesitation, you did exactly as Jamil commanded.
He enjoyed it.
You could feel his weird hair snakes sinking their fangs into you.
...
They won't be able to get back.
It was freezing at the edge of the desert, the river Kalim made has probably frozen over by now.
And without his golden cobra staff, you doubt he'd be able to use Oasis Maker again.
The only way for them to get back would be to walk.
With how long a walk it will be, Kalim will certainly freeze to death.
And Azul, Jade, Floyd, and Grim will shortly after. Even though those four have some natural resistance to the cold, they aren't completely invulnerable...
Maybe Ace and Deuce could get here in time, but you're not sure if they even saw your message.
What can you do?
What can you do to get yourself out of this situation?
Well... it seems nothing.
You very well can't get out of Jamil's mind control on your own, not unless he deactivates it, and let's be real- that isn't happening any time soon.
So what do you do?
What do you do?
What
Do
You
Do?
...
What do you do?
The simplest answer is correct.
Accept it.
Play along.
Let it happen.
Until you find a solution, that's your only option.

Playing with Fire
Part 1 (ft. Riddle and Silver) I Part 2 (ft. Trey and Kalim) I Part 3 (ft. Jade and Lilia) I Part 4 (ft. Deuce and Jamil) I Part 5 (ft. Malleus and Ruggie) | Part 6 (ft. Cater and Rook) | Part 7 (ft. Sebek and Floyd)
In which Gordon Ramsay-kun is isekai’d into Twisted Wonderland. Part Food Wars, part Hell’s Kitchen, all Master Chef—Night Raven College isn’t ready to take on this Michelin Star celebrity!!
As the age-old saying goes, “if you play with fire, be prepared to get burned”! Will Idia and Ace be able to withstand the chef forged in the flames of hell’s kitchen?
asdhbasildsb PRETEND LIKE THIS ISN'T BEING PUT OUT AFTER THE EVENT 😭 (At least I'm all caught up on Master Chefs now...)
Imagine this…
Tumblr media
"Alright, let's start cookin'!"
"HOLD IT!! Where do you think you’re going, Trappola?!”
"Gack!" Ace felt himself being yanked back by the collar, forcing the air out of him. The Ramshackle Prefect had him in a formidable grip—one rivaling that of Riddle's iron fist. "What's the big deal, stoppin' a guy from makin' a meal?"
A drawn-out sigh came from behind Gordon. “Fwehehe… Leave it to Ace-shi to solo-rush the boss battle… He's the type to button mash to skip past the tutorial and jump straight into things."
Annoyance surged up, and Ace spat out his heated words. "Oi, can it! Least I'm not shaking in my boots before getting anywhere NEAR the kitchen!"
“Not looking like that you aren’t.” Gordon flicked the first year’s chef’s hat, setting it askew. “Fix your hair! We don’t want any of it getting into the food.”
“Yeees, sir,” Ace groaned with an eye roll.
Gordon glanced at Idia, taking in the few hair clips he had scrounged up to clip his bangs back.
“You, Shroud!” Gordon snapped at him. “All your hair’s got to go up.”
“E-Eh…? All of it? B-But Ace-shi doesn’t have to! Th-This is gamer discrimination!!”
“Are your ears not working? Yes, I said ALL of it.” Gordon pointed to the blue flames that sprouted from the dorm leader’s scalp. “It has nothing to do with your hobbies, you’re a walking fire hazard!! What’s going to happen when a drop of oil hits you?”
“B-But my hair doesn’t even behave like regular fire does…” Idia mumbled, earning a glare from his instructor. “E-Eeep!! I-I got it, I’ll do it already!!”
“Oh, how the tables turn,” Ace sniggered as he secured the last of his bangs. The rest of his hair was too short to maneuver under his hat, spiking out on either side of his head.
“Alright, I’m gonna go ahead! Smell ya later, senpai!” He threw a wink and a wave at Idia before prancing into the kitchen.
The cheek and cheer made Idia cringe. What little motivation he had for this class wilted down to cinders.
He sniffed and mournfully did away with his hair, tucking every last bit of blue out of sight. When he at last dragged himself to the kitchen entryway, he hesitated on stepping through.
Haunting memories plagued his mind—the booming demands, the door being bashed down with fists and frying pans. Two monstrous men hovering above him as he cowered in a ball. The darkly easygoing expression on Floyd, Sebek in an imposing, militant stance, glaring down at him.
“Oi, Firefly Squid-senpai. This all the noodles you got? You’d better tell the truth or else Crocodile-chan and I will squeeze you senseless~”
Idia's fingers trembled terribly at the thought. Clamminess collected on his palms. The room seemed to spin
Gordon materialized by his frozen student's side.
“In you go then!” He gave a firm smack on Idia’s back, propelling him stumbling forward.
Ace, already at his station, looked up from inspecting bell peppers. A rainbow of red, orange, yellow, and green filled several baskets-but when he saw Idia, the peppers’ bright colors paled to Ace's massive grin.
“BAHAHAHAHAH!!” The first year keeled over, unable to contain his laughter. One arm cradled his stomach to keep himself from collapsing, the other pointing a knife at his upperclassman. “YOU TOTALLY LOOK BALD!!"
Idia flushed, shrinking into his chef's uniform. Were his hair visible, the flames would have, no doubt, been tinged pink with embarrassment.
"S-Sure, go for the low blow and pick on the guy whose character looks like crap in the event exclusive armor... This is why I wanted to send my tablet for this course instead of coming in person!!"
"Not bloody likely."
Idia stiffened at their instructor's voice, and the sharp clap that followed it. The sound echoed like static tracing along his scalp. His culinary nightmares had only just begun.
"If you've got the time to fuck around, you have time to cook. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, you two!"
Tumblr media
Gordon Ramsay made sure to plant himself squarely between Ace and Idia's work benches. Knowing what chaos the kitchen grounds could breed, he didn't want to take any chances by leaving either or unsupervised. Not again, not after so many sessions with NRC's various problem children.
Chop, chop, chop...
"Groan..."
How many times have I taught this course by now? Gordon mused to himself, dragging a hand over his face. The horrors he had witnessed brought back the beginnings of a migraine, the slow simmer of rage.
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop...
"Groooan..."
They aren't all bad kids, he thought. Some were just misunderstood, overeager, or lacking the technical abilities. Patience, Gordon, patience. They're children. They have plenty of room to grow.
Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop…
"GROOOOOOOOOOAN!!
He snapped.
“… Trappola, your task is to cut the bell peppers, not to complain as you do it!!" Gordon bellowed with a huff.
"But teeeach," Ace whined, "there's so many veggies!! Why do I have to be the one to chop them all, anyway? Just cuz it's easy doesn't mean I like doing this, y'know!! My hand hurts, it's totally cramping!"
"You have the talent to make them the same size and shape. That will help the peppers cook more evenly once we throw them on the heat." Gordon pointed to another basket full of peppers. "So suck it up!"
“Can’t you make Idia-senpai split this work?! He’s barely doing anything on his own anyway, and a cute little underclassman like me sure could use the extra helping hand!”
Gordon deadpanned.
“What?! I am cute,” Ace insisted, “and I wasn’t joking about wanting that helping hand.”
“And you’re not getting it.”
"Uggggh, fiiiiine.”
Ace unenthusiastically returned to his chopping board. As he brought his knife down, bisecting a crimson pepper, his expression lightened with a realization. “Hey, you know what? With so many peppers lying around, I could cram an extra helping of it into Deuce’s portion!!”
Gordon frowned. “… Is that seriously what’s motivating you?”
“Haha, yup 🎵”
What a fast turnaround. Perked right up.
“All I need now’s a dish that’s easy to hide peppers in! What should I go with? A soup? Stir fry? Oh, ooor I could do an omelet—the ultimate betrayal!” He snickered in a self-congratulatory manner. “Deuce won’t ever know what hit him!!”
The master chef heaved a sigh and glanced at Idia’s station, leaving Ace to his mise en place. “And how are you doing over there, Shroud?”
Idia jumped at the mention of his name. His fingers, sticky and (aptly) peppered with pepper seeds, were fumbling with measuring spoons.
"I-I'm fine..."
"Well, what's taking you so long? In the same time Trappola's knocked out a few crates, you've been standing around twiddlin' your thumbs."
"S-So what if my stat growth is a little slower than Ace-shi's?! Cut me some slack here, this process couldn't be more inefficient if it tried!!"
Idia furiously shook his head. "It'd all be done by now if I had a machine to throw together a meal... instead, I have to tediously measure spices by hand and deal with this stuffy place. These steps could all be automated."
Gordon snorted, unimpressed with the dour attitude. "If everything were automated, you'd be putting a lot of people out of their passions."
"Jobs," Idia corrected. "You mean their jobs."
"No, I mean their passions," Gordon shot back. "A fire burns because it has fuel, and passions exist because of the spirit behind them. That's something no A.I. could replicate."
"Hihihihi..." A smug, challenging smile emerged on Idia's blue lips. "Try telling that to Ortho. Bet he could perfectly recreate any recipe you throw at him in record time. Think you could honestly take him? Heh, bring it."
“You certainly changed your tone quickly—but if you can talk like that about your own creation, then I’d better see that same energy in your dish.” The closest pan was gripped and handed to a slack-jawed Idia.
“B-B-But…!!”
“Let’s see you put your money where your mouth is.”
Gordon was already at the stove, cranking up the heat. A circle of flames erupted from the burner. In the glow of the fire, Gordon appeared not human, but like a demon chef from hell.
“I-I wasn’t built for this!!” Idia wailed in protest, only to have a spatula at him.
His instructor’s response was blunt and full of snark. “Perfect opportunity for you to ‘get good’, then. There’s no teacher like experience.”
Idia struggled to produce a counter argument—but his mind was moving fasting than his body. Gordon had seized the arm with the pan by the wrist and guided it to the stove, adding a splash of oil to it. The third year flinched as heat crept onto his skin.
“Peppers in, and cook until tender!!” Gordon ordered. "If you can’t take this much, you won't last long in my kitchen!"
Idia fearfully obeyed, tossing in a few of the peppers he had just washed. The water droplets crackled upon contact, and—
Crackle, sssszzzt, POP!!
“E-EEEEEEeeEEeEP!!” Idia launched back, dodging the flecks of hot oil that sprayed at him. Cook until tender? The apprentice chef would be tenderized sooner than the vegetables would!
“Hoo, boy. This is gonna be a looong class,” Ace muttered from his station. "Dude has no chill at all..."
“Haven’t I suffered enough?! J-Just put me out of my misery alreadyyyy!!”
“We’ve only just started, boys!!” Gordon barked. There was no mistaking the blazing passion in his composure and in his eyes. “Put your backs into it!! I’ll make men out of you yet!!”

What are your headcanon sexuality on the cast? Like Cater and Lilia seems to have bisexual vibes.
Cater is seriously implied to be bi at least in the JP version and Lilia gave me the vibe in the game so that's my headcanon too.
Cater I think came into the realization early and his family was accepting but it didn't help with issues he had with his sister as they dragged him into a lot more 'girl talk' and often tried to set him up with either boy or girls that suited their tastes more than his. What first attracted him to Trey is that he gave off a very bland vibe at first glance. When they were in their first year Trey looked like a salaryman dressed as a teenager. It was a bit of a rebellious streak to go after him since he knew his sister wouldn't look twice at him. They were more of a twinks enjoyers or preferred overly girly girls as Cater's partner. In the end Cater realized that he much preferred straight lace people.
Lilia had a long history of flings but never anything serious or lasting. Of course he had strong feelings for Malleanore and Levan but he knew they would never in a romantic relationship. Wether or not that held him back from finding someone else or not he would not disclose. Most of his flings were had during his travels before Malleus hatching. He's not too proud of it but he had felt extremely alone in that time and had needed to feel a connection of some kind. Now in his old age he doesn't think he will ever find what Malleanore and Levan had but he has his boys and that's enough for him. He doesn't suffer from his lack of relationship, that's a genuine truth.
Kalim had his crush early on on Jamil and never thought too hard about it. Since I write him very emotionally driven I see him more as pan than gay or bi since the gender of the person he's attracted to doesn't really matter to him. While he didn't have any crushes outside of Jamil he did find some others attractive. In NRC during his first year he had that thought about Leona, Silver, Malleus, Jade, Floyd, Idia and Vil. He has a slight preference for tall people making Jamil kind of the odd ones out here (since he's not that tall compare to the rest).
Jamil never thought of attraction at all, I like to put him on the aromantic spectrum (Demiromantic to be precise), but otherwise he's homosexual. It's just that relationships aren't his strong point and he needs to create a deep connection first before letting feelings grow. Having Kalim try to sever that connection jumpstarted the few realizations he needed to have unfortunately a third party decided to take a joyride with his mind so that's not going to help.
Ace knows he isn't straight but he hasn't bothered putting a name on it (but he's most likely a morosexual XD). The realization came to him after his brief dating stint in middle school, or rather towards the end of it. Because of the disconnect he felt with her he questioned a bunch of things and decided to end it. While he went about it the wrong way the talking down those girls gave him made him at least realize the do and don't of relationship and set some standards for himself. Anyway he knows his preference goes to men and he's absolutely mortified by his reaction towards Jack's physic. He's not indifferent towards Deuce appearance either but most of the most attractive points are hidden most of the time. Anyway those new crushes made him realize that defined muscles made him go blue screen of death. He's not insensible to a pretty face either. He had intention of flirting with Epel after meeting him at the entrance ceremony but he got too busy to track him down since.
Deuce only recently started to think of relationship. He never pursued them before and didn't think he'd take time to have one in NRC. So befriending Ace and Jack and finding out he's attracted to them was a revelation. He didn't realize at first with Ace why it was so hard for him to fall asleep when they share the couch in Ramshackle, but seeing Jack run on clubs day was like being hit by a freight train. He accepted the fact that he was gay, and he's planning on letting his mom know but having feelings for multiple person at the time confuses him so much.
Riddle is gay as well. He also figured things out at NRC but he'd rather broke all of the Queen of Hearts rules than admit that Floyd was his gay awakening, and honestly no one blames him. However ever since his overblot he's been reading up and researching everything 'useful' as long as it was age appropriate. Therefore he has started a collection of LGBTQ+ novels and has an account on TWST equivalent of Webtoon.
Trey is demisexual, he had crushes here and there but hadn't really felt any physical attraction until Cater and that was a good few months into the relationship. He's not very open to his family about it but he tends not to tells them much since the incident with Riddle's mom. He just don't really see it as their business. He's not planning to hide Cater from them, but the day he brings Cater home they would have to deal with it and that's that.
Jack would also identify as pan or bi since he doesn't want to limit himself to find love among one gender. His relationship with Vil in middle school wasn't anything too serious. It was a bit driven by peer pressure but also because they were a bit curious about that whole dating thing and didn't have anyone else to try it out with. It was more of a more advanced friendship than a romantic relationship for Jack. It could have soured things between them but they grew closer as friends instead. Jack strongly believes on the just the right one for life so he isn't proactive in looking for someone new. The polyamory bit is really going to throw him for a loop.
Ruggie is gay, he never made a big deal about it, they had other things to worry about. All his grandma had to say about it is that if he's going to find himself a boyfriend at school then aim for one that'll bring in good money. He got that part covered alright! He still can't believe he felt for someone with such a bad personality though. He see Leona as a worthy leader but damn does his boyfriend acted like a spoiled house cat!
Leona never bothered to put a label on his sexuality, however he has so far mostly dated men. Most of the women of his entourage had strong personalities like his SIL and it made things weird for him. He also didn't want people saying that he and his brother had similar taste.
Jade and Floyd both don't really think of attraction in clear label. It doesn't make sense for them because growing up almost everyone was so depressingly dull. The fact that Azul and Riddle are both boys is just a random coincidence. That's why I places them more as demiromantic and demisexual.
Azul interest in attraction and sexuality only ever pop out when he could use it as a tool to get what he want. Developing feelings for one of the tweels was not part of the plan and is at best a huge risk. He doesn't know why and how and has no control over it. Therefore if it can't make it go away then he just have to make sure that his heart will get what it wants in hope it'll tune things down.
Epel's sexuality had been source of awkward moments with his family. By that I mean that his family figured it out before him and are trying to be supportive and sadly failed in that regards. When they saw Epel looking up muscular men in magazine they thought puberty hit him early in that aspect and they had the talk with him. They explained he wasn't the first one in the family and that his grandma's uncle share his inclinations (they even showed him a picture of said great uncle at a Village celebration with a guy that must be related to Lilia sempai because they really look alike). Epel didn't take it too well and thought the assumption came from his looks and not the fact that his bedroom walls were full of poster of half naked guys. Anyway after that he took them down and they didn't breach the subject. Any crushes he had so far (mainly Leona and Jack) he put it on admiration. However that was severely challenged by that one time he walked in on Vil and Rook by accident. Thankfully they still had their clothes on at the time.
Rook is an admire of all forms and cannot limit himself to one gender so he waves that bi umbrella proudly (a thing he has in common with Jack). Though most people assume that he's gay he's quick to correct them and even lecture them about the difference between sexual identity and sexual history. Honestly he's kind of the go to guy in Pomefiore for anyone questioning their sexuality or gender identity.
Vil is attracted solely to men. However he isn't out to the public as he still wants to protect his privacy where he can. He still defend LGBTQ+ rights in public. He also see himself has gender non-conforming. (I think a good case can be made for it in canon as well). He did have some feelings for Jack when they dated briefly but he grew out of it and never really mentioned it to him. He didn't see it as necessary and he knew how attached Jack was to true love but that idea seemed too restrictive to Vil. Rook unpredictable nature as well as his shamelessness suits him much better.
Ortho at this point of the story isn't able to form romantic or sexual attachment, things may change on the romantic point after book 6 but it'll take him a few years. Idia however is flying the Aro Ace flag high and proud. Thank god he was spared that train wreck, it may be an issue later on but he's a genius and so is his supportive family. They'll figure something out. If they don't well he can always make more robot to run things after he pass. Idia does have the odd squish here and there but he's happy as is in that aspect.
Sebek had grew up with stories mainly centered around loyalty and dedication where sexual identity did not play a role. The fact that his parents from a young age also insisted that 'you loved who you loved' did not encourage him towards those kinds of reflection either. If you asked him however he'd said that he fell in love with Silver and that he was loyal towards Malleus so obviously his preference are towards men. He doesn't have to question it any further.
Silver and Malleus are both people that have an hard time projecting themselves into a relationship. Silver because his focus was on becoming the best knight he could for Malleus and the prince because of the deep rooted issues currently explored in Book 7. Thanks to Lilia's influence they both tend to keep an open spirit about those things. Silver tends to be more oblivious to them by a lack of reference though. However Malleus is a secret avid reader of romance novels and is secretly rooting for Sebek's awkward courtship of Silver. Or rather, he would be if Sebek would get started on it already.

I WANT TO PREFACE THIS TWST INCORRECT QUOTES BY STATING THE FOLLOWING:
all of the quotes that are Jamil talking to Kalim are actually me talking to my dog Ivy! It’s a running gag with my friends and I that the stuff I say to Ivy just gets more and more out of context and someone always quotes Jamil when I share a new conversation
Tagging: @queerlordsimon @ladyzsgolla @aetherphobia @thesunshineriptide @end3rm1st (lmk if you want to be added or removed ^^)
Warnings: Cursing, lighthearted bullying, suggestive jokes made by a bunch of asexuals and their token allosexual, caps
Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3 // Part 4 // Part 5
——
Ruggie, RUNNING down the hallway screaming: I GOT A POPTAAAAAAARTTTT
——
Idia: Screech was put down by the CDC for being a safety hazard.
——
Deuce: why do you wanna go to school?? you're a fucking EGG!.... dumb bitch...
——
Floyd: he's a merman. thats his merass
——
Azul: I wish this game would let me commit tax fraud
——
Jade: I DO NOT CONSENT TO THE SEXUALIZATION OF MY THREATS
——
Yuu, to Jade: can they go on little slug dates?
——
Floyd: It’s like depression if depression was a fish tank
——
Riddle: Well to me this sounds like colour 1 is a more complex colour that is made from something being added to the base of colour 2. Orange (colour 1) is just yellow (colour 2) but with red added. Similarly, green (colour 1) is just blue (colour 2) but with yellow added. Now how does this apply to purple? Thus far all colour two's have been primary colours (as the primary colours are red, yellow, and blue and so far we have yellow and blue but no red. This means that if we assume the same pattern to be true, the last colour 2 should be red. This also matches up with purple as the final colour 1 since red + blue = purple. Lastly, this enforces another pattern I have noticed. Let's look at the second set to see this pattern. In the second set we have blue (colour 2) + yellow = green (colour 1). Now something iinteresting here is that yellow is colour 2 of the previous set. This pattern continues in set 3. We have red (colour 2) + blue (colour 2 of the last set) = purple (colour 1). Finally, it even goes in a loop. In set one we have yellow (colour 2) + red = orange (colour 1). And what do we see here? That's right, red just so happens to be the colour 2 we determined to be the colour which finishes set 3. Therefore we can conclude from multiple patterns within this set that orange is to yellow as green is to blue as purple is to red.
——
Ace: it’s slightly NSFW, but there’s nothing explicit

Hello there! I saw your requests open and hurried over as soon as possible to request. Here it is:
How would the Dorm leaders (separately) act when their female s/o, who was asked out by an RSA student, grumpily says "Why do I need a prince? I already have you." to the boys.
Hi, thank you for the request! I love this idea haha, it was really fun to write!
Dorm leaders react to fem!s/o rejecting an RSA student
Riddle
He doesn't mind, probably has a little smile on his face but that's it
Riddle was there when the RSA student approached you. It was right after an equestrian event and Riddle was briefing it with you on what you two wanted to do now that the competition was over.
That was when the RSA student (you had complained to Riddle some guy was following you around) asked you out with the most smug look on his face. Gosh if you could slap the rich off of him that would be nice
"Sorry, I don't need a prince, I have one already," and with that you leave linking arms with Riddle and planting a kiss on his face. Dang, Riddle felt like he was burning up because of this
You think Riddle's going to scold you for pda but he looks over at the student and tells him "It's rude to ask a lady with that attitude, to believe you had the audacity is baffling." Cater caught the whole thing on his phone and now all of Heartslabyul is talking about it lol
Leona
You just boosted his already boosted ego how is that possible :/
Either way, Leona did notice there was a guy that had no problem butting in between the two of you almost all the time. Leona wanted to rip his head off but kept his calm mainly because he didn't have the energy to. But that was until the spelldrive competition ended
You were waiting for Leona with a water bottle in hand for him when the RSA student showed up and tried to woo you with his...sports car. Yes. Amazing 🙄
You rolled your eyes and told him "I don't need a prince, let alone an arrogant little brat. I have one already, much more charming than you." Leona happened to hear the whole thing because he was just approaching you at that moment. Damn he felt like he was the luckiest guy alive
With a bit of a laugh, he wrapped an arm around you and pulled you closer. You squeaked because you hadn't realized he was there but then he gave the RSA student a glare and the guy ran off. "Hmph, coward, won't even try to fight," Leona mumbled. "Oh? Were you worried or jealous?" you asked. Leona tsked, "Why would I when I know all you need is me."
Azul
You just made his day, no, his whole career so much happier by just saying those words and existing!
He was worried that a RSA student was getting too close to you every time you two went out downtown and he was there. He had prettier hair, beautiful skin, and he was hella rich. Azul, with his insecurities was trembling at the idea of you leaving him for not just any student, but specifically a RSA guy!
You on the other hand, wanted to wring the RSA student to death for being a misogynistic little brat. He would tell you how you needed a man in your life and all that other shit. He then had the audacity to ask you out. In front of everyone at Mostro Lounge when he was visiting.
You just took your drink in your hand and decided yeah you had enough. Throwing the drink on the RSA student and staining his white uniform in blue, you stood up and told him "A prince? You? Give me a break, I already have one and don't even dare show your face here again."
Azul, who saw this all from a corner of the lounge, felt his heart racing. If he could just yell out in joy he would. Instead, he smoothly walked over and placed a hand on your shoulder. "Is something the matter, my love?" WIth that, the RSA student just tsked and left while Azul gave him a threatening smile. The entire lounge burst out into clapping which embarrassed you guys but you know what, it was worth it
Kalim
He didn't know someone was flirting with you until you mentioned a guy following you around and asking for your hand in marriage
He's shocked. Why would anyone ask you out when he was already making it clear that you were with him! Unless...he wasn't clear enough? Before Kalim decides to throw a whole parade to show off you two being together, Jamil says that you should just tell the RSA student to stop.
You end up doing just that. You see him at a cafe that you're visiting and he approaches you to ask for your hand once again. This time, sighing, you tell him no. But he starts to throw insults at you, and with that you decide to insult him back.
"I don't need a 'prince' when I already have a legit one. You need to grow up and stop sucking your silver spoon," you turned around and immediately bumped into Kalim. Kalim, who was also visiting without knowing you would be there, just said a happy hello and asked who you were talking to.
The other RSA student, knowing how powerful the Al Asim family is, didn't say anything and quickly left. "Hm? Is that the guy harassing you?" Kalim asked, and you nodded. He then ran after him and shouted "Stop harassing my girlfriend, you creep!" Honestly it's a bit adorable with how pure he's trying to protect you haha
Vil
Dang not you boosting his sky-high ego more than you should be haha. But seriously Vil was so happy to hear you say that
You were a rising actress and Vil was your idol. But to Vil, you were his idol because of your kindness. You never treated him like a villain and the two of you were close because of similar interests. Not only that, but you were also witty and brave.
You two were ready to shoot some model photos for a fashion brand when an RSA student that was interested in you saw you guys. He knew you from a while ago and while you told him multiple times you weren't interested, he wasn't buying it. Finally, he asked you when you and Vil were on break from the photos
He started off about how you needed someone real, not fake like Vil who was standing right next to you. He didn't know you guys were dating, but still he really shouldn't say that 💀. You sighed, then took Vil's hand in yours before saying "Yeah, I do need a real prince. The one standing next to me actually, so yes I'm already taken good luck finding someone that will even want to look at you."
Vil didn't know you could be so venomous with your words but wow you just said all of that in the most deadpanned face. The RSA student looked at Vil and Vil gave him a prideful smirk. Vil didn't say anything but did tell you "We need to go, the director wants us. We shouldn't be wasting our time with this rotten potato."
Idia
Dang, how he heard all of this on a chat is amazing. He just couldn't stop burying his face in the pillow after this happened.
You were a famous streamer. He loved you so much and you happened to attend NRC with him. Somehow you asked him out and Idia couldn't believe it he almost fainted haha. But nonetheless, you guys were the best together, honestly Ortho thought you guys should get married already 😂
But then some creeps on the internet had to be horrible about everything. This RSA student that was also a popular streamer asked you to do a collaboration with him, and you did. While this was happening he was hyped by his fans to ask you out, saying you needed a real prince.
You had enough. You sighed, putting down your controller (that Idia made for you) and looked dead into the camera. "I don't need a prince, I already have one. Much better at this game too by the way." With that, the chat blew up, people asking who you were dating, and Idia was just staring at his screen.
No way, no way you just announced publicly you were dating. You didn't drop any hints about who it was and just continued the game but Idia just buried his face into the pillow he had on his lap, too embarrassed but happy to see how confident and just badass you were both in the game and in real life.
Malleus
First of all, who has the balls do go against Malleus? You know, the Malleus Draconia?! Well some idiot RSA student did and it didn't turn out well
You were a regular student at NRC who interested Malleus. You two then started dating when he asked you out. You two really got close and you even got to meet his grandmother! However, you never told him about the RSA boy who tried to ask you out multiple times.
Now, he was on NRC grounds for the VDC event that was taking place. He had no problem just approaching you and saying that you needed a real prince to date. "Who's even this M guy you mention? Is he a wimp because I sure don't see him around," he smugly said. Oh how wrong he was.
"Stop, you see, I have a real prince? And he's right behind you," you point and the student turns around. Face to face with Malleus himself. At first the student tries to mock him for his strange horns but that's when it clicks. "...Y/n you're dating Malleus?!"
"Hm? Yes, y/n and I are dating, were you looking for us?" Malleus asked, clueless of what had happened. He only heard you talking about a real prince but that was it. Before he could ask, the RSA student ran away. "Don't worry about it," you tell him, patting Malleus on the shoulder. "Here, the tickets! Let's go find our seats now," you say and take his hand.

Being a genie, your entire life was spent serving people. Going from master to master, order to order, Got tiring after so long. And yet here you were, with a new master, who refused to use your powers. Instead he uses you like a babysitter or a body guard for his eldest son. Kalim.
Kalim is a sweet one, or that’s what he wants you to think. But like hell you’ll get fooled by this idiotic prince.
Is what you thought when you had first met him. But you’ve spent so many years by his side, watching him grow from a naive teenager, to a strong independent young adult. And you had to admit, it was kind of endearing in some ways.
Currently you were walking in the castle that was the Al-Asim household. No matter how long you stayed there, you always seemed to find new passageways that leads to somewhere else. The latest one you found lead you to an empty balcony that was hidden by drapes and some neatly placed plants. The view outside was lovely, clear blue skies filled with stars overseeing calm clear crystal waves.
A small smiled spread across your face as you looked at the view. “Psst” suddenly came a voice from below “MC! Down here” he blinked in confusion and looked down only to get greeted by the grinning face of the heir to the Al Asim throne. For a second there you were confused how he was floating, until you saw the carpet beneath his feet. You sighed and leaned on the railing to look at him properly.
“Your highness. Whatever may I help you with?” You asked the young adult staring up at you with gorgeous crimson eyes. “Is something bothering you?” His response came by a shake of his head before floating up to be face to face with you. You continued to smile at him as he grinned at him. “Jump on!” Kalim exclaimed excitedly before grabbing you arm and tugging you to join him on the carpet. “Let’s take a ride together!”
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
Even though you tried to protest and get the young heir to go back to his room, you ended up on the magic carpet flying over the calm sea. You kept looking back at the castle every now and then, and every time it got smaller and smaller. You thought you’d be nervous to just leave randomly in the middle of the night, but instead you felt relaxed, and a bit happy.
A sigh leaves your lips as you lay down on the carpet. You just stare at the night sky. You always loved it, it’s been your longest friend and companion. No matter how many people come and go, it’s always been there and will always been there. You feel Kalim lying down next to you, with his head next to yours.
You glanced over at him to see him looking at the sky with a calm smile on his face. “The moon is lovely tonight, isn’t it?” He said, still not looking at you. You smiled and looked at the sky as well. “It truly is, isn’t it?” You two stayed silent as you stared up at the moon and stars.
You felt his pinky finger reach out to try and grab yours but hesitate a bit. You glanced at him with the side of your eyes, then look down at his finger. You rolled your eyes and held his hands. You could see him staring at you, surprised by your action. But that surprise quickly turned into joy as he held onto your hand tightly.
It honestly felt amazing. Laying here, staring up at the night sky, holding Kalim’s hand. Wind blowing through your hair, carpet swaying through the air. It felt, well, heavenly. You never really felt like this before. Hell; you never even enjoyed anyone else’s company before this idiot came along. But it was nice.
Having someone you could finally trust. Someone who doesn’t want anything from you. Someone who seeks you out for you, not for what you can do for them. Someone you could just sit and do absolutely nothing ever.
“Kalim” he hummed in response “thank you. For everything” He turned his head towards you and beamed. “I’m not sure what you’re apologizing for, but you are very welcome MC!” You looked at him and smiled back.
The two of you ended up going back home much later then the two of you thought you would. The sun was rising and Kalim was practically asleep on you. You kept smiling as you carried him back to his own room. You lay him down on his bed and tuck him underneath his blanket.
“Goodnight sweet prince, may you’re dreams be as wonderful as you”

“Your highness, your father has asked for you” called out your maid, Lilith, a girl around your age that has been your personal maid since the two of you were young children. You nodded your head and left the activity you were doing to head straight to your father’s quarters.
You knocked on the door once you arrived and waited for his permission to enter. That permission came with a small ‘come in’. And so you had. Your father sat behind his desk, crown sat upon his head. In front of him you noticed a guy that seemed to be around your age, but you couldn’t be too sure. He was tall, with light skin, one black one gold eyes, dark turquoise hair with a single strand of black hair and what seemed to be a knight uniform.
You decided to ignore him and instead address your father. “You called for me?” You asked him. He nodded his head yes before speaking “that I had my child, this is Floyd Leech” he motioned to the male “I’ve decided to assign him as your personal guard” he finished, motioning to the knight, now known as Floyd.
You nodded your head then glanced over at the knight, you found him already staring at you. You two locked eyes for a second, causing him to give you a toothy grin. “He is one of our best knights and I trust you two will get along greatly” “of course father” you nodded in confirmation before leaving the room, knowing when your father was done speaking to you. Floyd gave him a small bow before following after you put the room. The two of you stayed quiet after leaving the kings quarters. That is until you left the area, that’s when Floyd decided to block your path and leaned into your personal space, staring right into your eyes with his toothy grin before speaking. “So, what fun things do you usually do?”
‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗
That was your first meeting with the knight. And it definitely wasn’t your last. Through the two years you’ve known him he’s somehow gotten worse and worse every single time personality wise. It wasn’t like he was a bad person or knight, no far from it. He was just, weird, to say the least. But that still didn’t stop the two of you from becoming great friends.
After a few months you heard a knock on your window one random night and when you opened it you saw the Eel standing outside your Window on a ladder, telling you to go follow him. After a bit you had and that become a regular thing for the two of you. He’d come knocking at your window randomly at night, you two would sneak out and go around doing whatever, then he’d sneak you back into your room and leave.
So there you were, sat in your room waiting for your knight to come knocking at your window like every other week. He was a later then usual and that was worrying you. The thought of someone finding him out made shivers crawl down your spine. “Why so gloomy shrimpy?” You jerked your head at the voice coming from the window. A sigh left your lungs when you saw the merman grinning at your window.
You walked over to him and waited for him to climb back down before following afterwards. Right after you hopped down the long ladder, your hand gets grabbed by him and he starts running to the secret exist you two found a while back. The exist was filled with overgrown plants with tons of bushes and flowers.
After a while of running you two made it to the empty street of your town. It was lovely, even though you two couldn’t go to the usual places you would’ve gone to. But since Floyd kept you waiting for far too long. But that didn’t matter right now, you had your bestest friend with you. Soon you two stopped to catch your breath.
After a while you two ended up on the ground staring up at the sky. “Shrimpy?” You hummed in response to Floyd “Aren’t you scared of me?” You blinked in confusion and looked at him before giggling and speaking up, with a small tilt of your head. “What brought this on?” He didn’t respond for a while, nor did he look at you.
After a few minutes of silence and Floyd’s black expression, you started to get worried and your smile faltered “Floyd?” You moved a bit closer “answer me Floyd Leech. Why are you asking this?” He continued to stay silent, which continued to worry you. After a bit he shrugged and turned back to you. “Nothing~” You frowned at the eel but didn’t push it, knowing it wouldn’t do anything.
Instead you decided to get up and dust off your clothes “we should head back. It’s getting late and I have a feast tomorrow” Floyd whined for a bit but followed behind you nonetheless. While you walked the two of you talked about anything and everything you two could think of. But sadly the time came where you could view your bedroom window.
Floyd plopped the ladder where he puts it every time and held it as you climbed up it and went inside your bedroom. You let out a sigh at the comfort of your bedroom. “Shrimpy” you smiled again at the eel standing at your windowsill. “Same time tomorrow?” “If same time tomorrow means you being late then no, but I won’t protest to my handsome knight coming to see me”
Floyd grinned at your response, then he did something unexpected. He leaned closer and kissed you, Actually, kissed you. You stared at him in shock as he pulled away, grinned and said “see ya shrimpy~” then left with no other words. You stood there for a bit, frozen as you stared out the window. Before the biggest grin ever appeared on your face. You leaned over the open window and took a deep breath. “I’LL BE WAITING FOR YOU FLOYD!!”
Floyd looked back at you and nodded with head before hurrying away, knowing that he couldn’t get caught. You continued to grin as you flopped down on your bed, extremely happy about everything that has happened that day.
Who knew that this is how things would turn out, with you dreaming about your knight deep at night.
