Villain's Night, Halloween Story Event ~ Jude Jazza Story
WARNING! The story contains hardcore violence, murder and blood.
Young man in a costume: "Hey you! Can't you hear me!? ....I said trick or treat?"
Kate: ".....This is so annoying. I said I'm waiting for someone."
Tumblr media
Young man in a costume: "If you don't give me a treat, I'll do a trick."
(This is so annoying....)
Ellis was asked by Mr. Jude to do some shopping. The town which was busy with all Halloween preparation and there were people everywhere, so I went out with Ellis to help him carry his luggage.
While I was waiting for Ellis outside the store and this young man wearing a costume approached me.
(If I leave here, I'll just get separated from Ellis...)
(If that happens, there is no point in coming here to carry the luggage...how can I get rid of this person?)
Young man in a costume: "Hey, are you ignoring me again?"
Kate: "Hey! let go....!"
He grabbed my wrist and I couldn't help but glare at him and raise my voice.
???: "Did you hook up with a man that has a very bad taste?"
Young man in costume: "Huh?"
(....This voice)
Someone pulled my shoulder with a jerk and when I look up, it was Mr. Jude.
Tumblr media
Jude: "He looks frustrated?"
Kate: "No no....! This man was the one who got involved."
Jude: "Oh?"
Young man in a costume: "Ah.."
Mr. Jude glanced at him and it made the young man realize that he was in danger.
He let out a shriek and ran away.
Kate: "Thank you very much....for helping me."
Jude: "You were just standing here like an idiot without doing anything."
Jude: "Miss Ex-postman, you know there are fools like those wandering around here celebrating Halloween, right?"
He turns his gaze towards the buoyant streets of London, and Mr. Jude removed his hand from my shoulder.
The area he was touching was no longer warm and my gaze followed his hand as it moves away.
He is supposed to be a ruthless sadist, but sometimes, there are times like this where he makes me go crazy.
Tumblr media
Jude: "How did you manage to survive unscathed?"
Kate: "....Well, if push comes to shove, I would have bit that man's arm and ran away."
Jude: "Wow. You're so brave."
Jude: "But...I saved you anyway, so you owe me one."
Kate: "!? I don't wanna! I don't wanna!!!"
(I'm sure he's gonna make an unreasonable demand!)
(What would you like....a candy? No, he'll reject me after labelling me a 'Halloween fool')
(Then then...)
Jude: "I'll make it easy for you so you don't have to think so hard with your little head."
Kate: "Eh....!?"
Tumblr media
Jude: "Tonight you will not wander off anywhere. You will stay in your room at the Crown Castle."
Jude: "If you promise that, we'll call it square."
Kate: "...That's it?"
Jude: "Why? Do you want something more unreasonable?"
Kate: "No! I promise!"
Tumblr media
Ellis: "Sorry to keep you waiting, Kate. The store was busy..."
Ellis: "Ah Jude? Are you done with your work already?"
Jude: "I wouldn't be here if that was the case."
(You had work today too? You really are a busy person, all the time....)
Now that I know how physically and mentally demanding the Crown's duties and those of the trading companies can be,
I am amazed at how he manages to turn it around with just one body.
(It doesn't really feel like he likes his job...nor a spendthrift who likes luxury)
(So why are you working non-stop....?)
In the end, Ellis only gave me the lightest item in his luggage and the three of us returned to the castle.
Tumblr media
Victor: "Happy Halloween! How do you like this extravagant decorations? Guess who did it? Guess guess!"
Alphonse: "Oh my god, who!?"
Victor: "I knew you would all be super curious! Why should I hide, right? It was me!"
Kate: "Wow! As expected of Victor!"
Ellis: "clap clap clap~"
Jude: "......"
Kate: "Mr. Jude, you can at least give some acknowledgement..."
Tumblr media
As soon as we approached the dining hall, we were dragged in by Mr. Alphonse, and saw that the dining hall had been decorated magnificently.
Victor is unperturbed by our reactions and smiles with satisfaction.
Victor: "Hmm, the tenderness of Ellis and Kate and Jude's unwavering chilling gaze..."
Victor: "My cursed ones and my fairy tale master are running normally today!"
Victor: "...But only while the sun is in the sky. I've already asked Alphonse though."
Victor: "Ellis. Jude. Be careful tonight, okay?"
Jude: "I don't have time for long conversations with weirdos."
Mr. Jude tried to avoid the conversation and left quickly.
Kate: "...Is there anything going on tonight?"
Alphonse: "Fufu, I guess you could call it a mysterious price that comes with the curse."
Alphonse: "Every few years, when Halloween falls on a full or new moon, a cursed one's sin is heightened."
Alphonse: "It's like a phenomenon."
Victor: "The moonflowers in the palace blooms to coincide with it."
Victor: "It's also known as 'Night of the Moonbeams'. As far as I know, it happened once before 20 years ago."
Kate: "Earlier, what did you mean by 'sins are heightened'....?"
Alphonse: "Curses have a predetermined nature, don't they?"
Alphonse: "Self-righteousness, decisiveness' for Mr. William and 'ruthlessness, arrogance, vindictiveness' for Mr. Jude..."
Alphonse: "I think that's a good interpretation for their curses and that's going to get intensified."
Kate: "Does that mean Mr. Jude will become even more ruthless and arrogant in his vengeance than he already is....?"
Victor: "You can put it like that. The cursed ones themselves will feel hard to control...."
Victor: "It is a night of danger, both for the cursed ones and those around them."
(Even those with curses are in danger....)
Alphonse: "Even so, it seems like Mr. Jude is going somewhere dangerous this evening."
Kate: "Dangerous?"
Alphonse: "Yeah, I heard about Mr. Jude's plans for tonight from Mr. Roger."
Alphonse: "Have you ever heard of an illegal form of gambling in which people kill each other, called duel gambling?"
Kate: "N-No...!"
Alphonse: "I heard that a man embezzled Mr. Jude's company's money, left and was melting it down there."
Alphonse: "The little rascal is, unfortunately, now socially dead, it seems."
Tumblr media
Alphonse: "He is planning to clamp down on the big boys and take all the money from the gambling operation."
Alphonse: "I'm just horrified by the hints of bloody violence."
Kate: "Does he really have to go to such a dangerous place during this time....?"
Alphonse: "Why not? What a better place for a cold-blooded man who loves other people's misery and money to run amok, right?"
Alphonse: "He might accidentally overdo it and get arrested or killed, but...well, I think he'll be fine."
(Such....is not something that can happen inadvertently)
Kate: "He does all those assignments, all that work and ...he doesn't even look like he is in need of money."
Alphonse: "Isn't it because the nature of his curse included a desire for vengeance?"
Alphonse: "What has been stolen cannot be satisfied unless it is regained, and a broken promise cannot be forgiven unless it is retaliated against."
Ellis: "And....Jude needs a lot of money and people to fulfil his goal, I guess."
Kate: "What goal...?"
Ellis: "To fulfil a promise he made to someone a long time ago."
Kate: "Can he fulfil it if he has money?"
Tumblr media
Ellis: "I think he said it was 99.9% impossible."
(W-What the....?)
(Are you living such a....busy dangerous and life-destroying life for the sake of that 0.01% chance?)
Ellis: "...Anyway, duel gambling is illegal, so no matter how he retaliate, they have no choice but to cry themselves to sleep."
Ellis: "He said he'd get more than double what he'd lost in money and that he'd be the perfect one for tonight."
Kate: "What about you, Ellis? Are you going?"
Ellis: "I'll...stay in my room for tonight, I think."
Ellis: "I don't know what's going to happen to me tonight either, so...."
Kate: "....I see..."
Victor: "...There is no one in this castle tonight normal enough to help people, Kate."
(Then Mr. Jude is alone... in a place where he could die)
Alphonse: "You look worried. Why don't you go there and have a look?"
Kate: "...No I can't. I promised to stay quiet in the castle tonight."
Alphonse: "Don't worry! As long as he doesn't find out, you haven't broken any promises."
Kate: "....Don't provoke me. A promise is a promise."
Alphonse: "Fufu, what a shame. I forgot how disciplined and serious you are."
Alphonse: "But, I'll lend you this in case you change your mind."
Tumblr media
Alphonse: "Did you know? The gambling den says you can only enter in costume today."
He sneakily whispered and handed me a pair of cat's ears and a suspicious looking tail.
Kate: "....How do you even wear this tail....?"
Alphonse: "You can sort of figure it out just by looking at the shape, right? Where do you think it goes....?"
Kate: "T-Take it back...!"
Alphonse: "No returns."
He puts it in my pocket and walked away in a good mood.
I was too afraid to even touch it, that couldn't even put my hands in the pocket and decided to leave it there.
(I'll get rid of it when I change my clothes...)
(I made a promise to Mr. Jude. So, I want to make sure I keep it)
(But...)
I know it's unnecessary, but I can't help worrying about the strange things that happens on the 'Night of the Moonbeams'.
I was making my way to the palace gardens.
(Is this the garden? The moonflowers, though it's only in bud now....)
(It would be so beautiful if they all bloomed at once)
It's enough.....to drive anyone crazy.
???: "Oh...am I seeing a little robin wandering into the garden of the moonbeam?"
Kate: "William..."
Tumblr media
William: "Have the flowers driven you crazy already?"
Kate: "No...I was just curious when I heard about Moonbeam night thing just a few minutes ago."
William: "You look a little too sad that curious."
Kate: "I promised Mr. Jude this morning that I would stay quiet in my room tonight. But...."
Kate: "But now that I think of it, it was as if he knew about the Night of the Moonbeams and was trying to keep me away."
Kate: "It was a promise I made to repay him back and now he's the one protecting me again...."
Kate: "I feel like I'm not giving anything back..."
William: ".....Fufu. You're a disciplined robin. By the way, Kate."
Kate: "Hm....?"
William: "Trick or treat?"
Kate: "!? Sorry, I don't have any treats."
William: "Yes, I know. I'm just said that because I wanted a good reason to play a prank."
Kate: "Eh....?"
William: "I'm feeling a bit more selfish than usual, probably because the sun is going down."
Tumblr media
William: "Tonight, act on your desires."
Kate: "....!?"
William: "This is where Jude is heading. If you want."
My hand is drawn like a magnet to the note William holds out to me.
Kate: "Ah..wait..No William...please!"
Furthermore, my feet started moving on their own towards the gate.
(Am I realling going to...where Mr. Jude is!?)
William: "Bye bye, Kate."
William: "Hopefully, I wish you have the most sinful Halloween night ever."
.............
(Finally I made it...)
My body which is faithful to my desires, as William commanded....
I ended up at the gambling den where Mr. Jude said he was heading.
Drunk man: "Hey, little kitten, you're so cute. Come on, purr for me."
Kate: ".....Excuse me. I'm looking for someone."
The gambling den was crowded with people in Halloween costumes.
I was forced to put on only cat ears that Mr. Alphonse had forced on me to blend in with the crowd.
Apparently, it is not only an illegal dueling ring, but also a brothel.
The men were trying to shove their hands inside cages with frightened women, trying to touch and grope them.
Tumblr media
(....A place where money is worth more than a human life....)
Sickened by the terrible sight...I look for the person who is trying to mess up this scene.
(...I have to find Mr. Jude quickly...)
(Then what?)
(It's not like I can convince him to come back home quietly)
Tumblr media
Even though my head thinks so, my body selfishly searches for him.
(What is my desire? To find Mr. Jude?)
(How can a body be 'faithful to its desires' when I don't even know what to do....?)
(William's abilities are truly terrifying)
Kate: "Um...excuse me, has someone called Jude Jazza been here?"
Kate: "He wears a long cloak and has a scary face-----"
I asked and look around in the crowd, but can't find him....
???: "Is that Jude Jazza's girlfriend?"
.............
Jude: "Let me get this straight."
Jude: "If you accept my terms, I will at least spare your life."
Jude silently submerged the guards and entered, later crushing the jaws of two or three of the guards,
He then imposed arrogant and unreasonable conditions on to the organizers.
Organizer of the gambling den: "...Ha..Haha. First, please calm down."
Tumblr media
Organizer of the gambling den: "Isn't it a bit arrogant of you to completely stop duel gambling and human trafficking and give you all the proceeds....?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "We only lost a few thousand pounds, right?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "Also, it's your employee's crime, not ours and we didn't tell him to."
Jude: "I hate talking about that. So are you saying you don't accept my terms....?"
The organizer gulped as he was under the glaring eyes of Jude that were sharper than a blade.
Then a man from his crew ran in and whispered something to the organizer.
The look in his eyes instantly changed to one of triumph.
Organizer of the gambling den: "---Ha. Well well well. It seems you have a visitor."
Jude: "...Visitor?"
A large man entered and dragged Kate's limp unconscious body.
Tumblr media
Jude: "...Ah?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "They said she was wandering around looking for you. Looks like you have a loving girlfriend?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "So? If you withdraw your previous conditions, I will return this woman to you untouched."
Organizer of the gambling den: "Hm? There's something inside her pocket...Ah! Oh my."
Big man: "Haha...To also bring this along with you...such a lecherous little girl."
Big man: "----Ha?"
For a moment, the man's eyes blink, as if he doesn't know what had just happened.
As he looked down, Kate's body fell to the floor with a thud, along with his arm that was holding her.
Big man: "Ah..ARGGHHHH!?"
Jude: "Looks like you want to break the promise."
Jude: "I'll keep this boss monkey alive, for a while. He's got a lot of talking to do."
Tumblr media
Jude: "Everyone else. Die."
............
Kate: "Nn.....Mm...."
When my consciousness returned, the first thing I heard were moans and sobs.
(Umm...I don't know what happened to me...I recall, someone approached me and...)
Kate: "....!?"
As soon as I sat up, my breathing stopped at the gruesome sight that unfolded before me.
All I can see was red. The floor and walls are stained with blood.
Bodies were lying on the floor and were barely recognizable,
There were several reddish-black lumps of something dumped on the ground like trash.
Tumblr media
In the middle of all of it, was Mr. Jude.
(Mr. Jude....?)
Jude: "How about this? If I cut your arteries and you'll die from excessive bleeding. Don't have to pay me back if you don't live, right?"
Mr. Jude's red soaked sword sinks slowly into the leg of the man who seems to be the boss of the place.
Organizer of the gambling den: "Ah..Arrghh...please! please! I'll give you the money! I'll give you....6-60% of the sales."
Jude: "Tch!?"
Organizer of the gambling den: "ARRGGGGHHHH!"
Jude: "Since your ears are for decoration, I'll cut them too."
Mr. Jude was laughing manically as if he was getting off of the man's painful screams.
Seeing the cold and ruthless profile, the fear I had almost forgotten comes back to me.
Mr. Jude is an evil man from a different world.
(And yet....I can't stop witnessing such a spectacle)
Tumblr media
(All I kept wondering was if Mr. Jude was bleeding from somewhere)
I didn't know what I wanted to do when I find him.
But my desire was now clear.
(Even if this is an everyday occurrence for Mr. Jude)
Even if this is due to the nature of his curse.
Or even its for a promise to someone I don't know.
(This person who lives in the darkness as if to cut down his life, this person who pushes me away from the darkness, who keeps me safe)
(...I also wanted to help him in anyway I could)
Tonight is a dangerous night for the cursed ones.
(But in the end....I only became a hinderance)
There is an overwhelming gap between him and me.
(How frustrating)
I bite my lip and stare at him, torturing and hurting the man who seems to be the boss.
When he had finished giving him the information he wanted, he stabbed the man's heart and Mr. Jude sheathed his sword.
Tumblr media
Jude: "........."
(....I don't think I've ever see you use a sword before)
Mr. Jude usually hurts people, but does not kill them easily.
He says that it is more efficient to exploit the labor force than to kill them, or that killing them will cause problems later on.
----FLASHBACK----
Victor: "The cursed ones themselves will feel hard to control...."
Victor: "It is a night of danger, both for the cursed ones and those around them."
-----FLASHBACK ENDS-----
The pale moonlight shines through the window.
(Right now....Mr. Jude is not normal)
(It is too dangerous to approach him)
I slowly walked towards his bloody back.
The Halloween night will make the cursed ones go crazy.
I was like a lusty madman at William's behest.
Kate: "Mr. Jude."
Jude: "............."
Mr. Jude doesn't look back.
As if drawn to him, my hand lifted and my fingertips gently grasped the cloak.
Kate: "....Are you hurt anywhere?"
Kate: "....!"
Before I can finish my words, my body is pulled up in a jerk.
I felt a thump, a jolt in my back, and I choked on the pain.
Jude: "Why did you break the promise, huh?"
Kate: "Jude...."
Jude: "You know what happens if you break a promise to me, don't you?"
Kate: "...Nn."
The hand on my neck squeezes down my throat and I choke.
It is crazy to think that this was the same hand the protected me earlier today from that strange man on the streets of London.
Kate: "Haa....Haa...."
Tumblr media
Jude: "Oh, maybe you broke the promise on purpose to get punished?"
Kate: ".....Ngh? .....!"
I shook my head and he snorted with laughter.
Jude: "Usually I would be content with just threatening you, Princess."
Jude: "But tonight that doesn't seem to be enough for me."
Jude: "Trick or treat......well, who cares?"
Jude: "Are you ready to be tortured?"
Mr. Jude's amethyst eyes gleamed in the moonlight beaming in through the window.

Adopting a kitten with the Princes!
Featuring: Chevalier, Clavis and Yves ♡
Tumblr media
Chevalier-
It wasn’t really adopting, it was more like Emma just bringing in a stray kitten and practically begging Chevalier to let her keep it
Chevalier was very unhappy, narrowing his eyes at the cat and crossing his arms.
After a while of begging, Chevalier just dismissed Emma in silence and Emma took that as approval. She hugged her fiancée tightly and plastered that smile Chevalier loved so much.
Emma takes the kitten and gives him a bath, dries and brushes the kitten. As she’s brushing the bundle of wet fur, she realises something.
This kitten looks a lot of Chevalier…. The cat’s icy blue eyes and blonde fur, it’s like Chevalier transformed into a cat!! Not only did this Chevalier Junior look like the Brutal beast himself, he also seems to have a very similar personality.
Chevalier was already in bed when Emma placed the kitten on the bed, saying that she’s going to take a shower and be right back; leaving Chevalier and the kitten alone.
Emma had finished putting on one of Chevalier’s shirts on as a pj before opening the door to the book filled bedroom. She couldn’t help the smirk as she saw the scene in front of her; Chevalier reading a book as the kitten laid on his chest seemingly reading the book too. Chevalier’s piercing gaze was soon dragged from the book to his fiancée as he felt her weight drop on the bed. “I knew you’d fall in love with the little brutal beast!” Emma giggled as she crawled on the bed to where Chevalier was laying, reaching out to stroke the kitten’s soft fur. The kitten only gave her a small purr and a piercing look.
Tumblr media
Clavis-
Clavis found the kitten in town and knew Emma would love it! He could already see her excited smile as she cuddled the kitten close to her chest.
The kitten was weak and tired, falling asleep in the warmth of Clavis’ hands almost immediately. This made Clavis slightly worried about the cat so he decided to take it to the vet first, buying food and toys before coming home.
“Just hold tight in there Cheetah” Clavis chuckled as he put the kitten in a purple box with a large white bow. Emma has just gotten out of a bath, Clavis opening the door to the bathroom and wolf whistled “Wow Emma! Cover yourself” He chuckled and an embarrassed squeak left the naked girl. Even though they’ve been fiancées for 6 months (and dated for longer), Emma still wasn’t used to Clavis coming into the bathroom like that.
“Well I’ll be damned! Come out, I’ve got a surprise for you” He chuckled as he closed the door giving Emma some space to get dressed. 2 minutes passed before Emma left the bathroom in her satin nightgown, raising her eyebrow at the box. The purple-haired Prince wagged a finger at her, signalising for her to come over. She obeyed and tilted her head at the box which was shaking a little.
“Well? Go on, Open it!” Clavis smiled excitedly as Emma slowly lifted the box, closing her eyes as she finally lifted the lid fully. She was expecting to get her face covered in glitter but nothing happened. Clavis couldn’t help himself but laugh loudly at her reaction which made Emma open her eyes ever so slightly to look inside the box. She gasped in excitement but before she could hug or thank Clavis, the kitten pounced onto her. His tiny claws digging into Emma’s skin to keep himself from falling, making Emma nearly trip backwards if it wasn’t for Clavis who was still laughing and embracing Emma to his chest.
Tumblr media
Yves-
Emma presented Yves with the kitten on his birthday. Let’s just say he was stunned; his eyes were wide like saucers at the kitten that was purring softly in Emma’s arms.
Emma offered the kitten to Yves and he couldn’t resist taking the furry baby from her hands.
He placed the kitten to his chest to pet the small ball of fur. His expression soon changed from shock to a gentle smile which plastered itself shyly onto Yves’ cute face.
“Do you like her?” Emma asked with a cheerful voice. “N-no! I mean, yes I am” He mumbled the last part, turning his head away as Emma’s laugh vibrated through the bedroom.
Emma later informed Yves that the kitten’s toys haven’t come to the palace yet and they would probably be at the palace later tomorrow. This was fine, since it was already night time and the kitten seemed to be very sleepy.
“How about a bath?” Emma winked at Yves as his face turned crimson. He put the kitten down on the pink bed, letting the furry thing curl up and nap while Emma and him went to the already prepared bath. They both undressed and hopped into the bubble bath, enjoying the warmth of the water. Being completely unaware of the shenanigans the little bundle of fur was up too.
After about an hour or two, the newly wedded couple came out of the bathroom fully relaxed and ready for bed. Yves’ soft lips pressed against the side of Emma’s neck as she hummed. That was until a gasp suddenly brought them out of their relaxed state. The chocolate coloured kitten has somehow gotten into Yves’s wardrobe, his socks and boxers all sprawled over the floor. In one of his boxers laid a very tired kitty, curled up and snoring.
“Perhaps we should have given her a ball of yarn to play with”
I hope you guys liked this!! It’s been a while since I’ve written something on here. Remember that my requests are open. Bye bye Doves!

❝ 𝐀 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 ❞
╰┈➤ What's so special about a leap day?
Napoleon Bonaparte/MC; Arthur Conan Doyle • rating: G • tags: Fluff; Fluff and Humor; Leap Day; Lovers' Quarrel; Engagement Proposal; Traditions • wordcount: 1,600 • masterlist
a/n: This fic was born out of the stupid idea "hey it would be so fun and unique to have a napo fic written and posted on a leap day", so here it is, a 5*/SSR rarity napo fic. It was supposed to be short and funny but I'm emotional now........
Tumblr media
It's a particularly tranquil afternoon; a day like any other with nothing at all special about it - at least that's how it seems.
MC swings her legs back in forth in thought, seated on top of the kitchen counter as she listens to the ambience of Napoleon drying the pile of washed dishes for her. He insisted! He's sweet like that. But she'll be needing more help with the trouble inside her head, so she voices it out...
"Hey, Napoleon?"
"Hmm?"
"Shouldn't we be doing something more special today?"
"...?"
Napoleon settles down another glass and pauses before he can produce more of those squicky glass sounds.
"Am I forgetting something about today?"
"...Nothing much, it's just... today is February 29th!"
"..."
Napoleon takes another glass to wipe, after all.
He also snrks, which is worse than the squeaking noises, but doesn't dismiss the conversation altogether just yet.
"So you want to do something more special today because it's a leap day?"
"I was thinking, if we do anything outstanding today, it would be extra worth remembering because we'll only get to celebrate the anniversary of it every four years!"
"People born today would like to differ."
"Napoleon!"
"Okay Nunuche, I got you. So? Any ideas?"
"I was going to ask... what would you usually do back in the day on February 29th? Like when you were the emperor?"
...
"Haha!!"
"W-what so funny about it..."
"I like how colorful you imagine those days to be. I'm sorry to disappoint but it was just another day for me."
"Oh."
Noticing MC's frown, Napoleon drops his casual aura at once and instead adopts a very serious look on his face, pausing his activity as to emphasize what he says next.
"I see now. This day must hold some kind of importance for you - either because of the place you come from or the time you come from. I didn't mean to joke about it."
"Oh? No there's nothing like that, I just thought it was cool."
...
"Bhahaha!!! Hahahah!"
"Okay I'm really starting to get mad at you now!!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just- you're the cutest."
"...Let's just get done with those dishes already so we can plan our day!"
***
"It's also called Bachelor's Day. I know about this legend from my parents and I made the mistake of sharing it with a pretty bird once, four years ago. Bad idea. Now I'll have to hide in the mansion all day."
Arthur throws a look at the outside world from behind the curtain, either in yearning for his precious social life, or perhaps in fear that he'll see a woman stalking him from there. Napoleon lets out a small cough because his curiosity is eating him up. Not about Arthur's inner turmoils but about that intriguing Irish legend he's talking about.
Arthur turns his attention back to the pair and his eyes light up in mischief. When he first spotted them making their way downstairs and gave them a casual greeting, he had no idea they'd ask him for ideas as to how to spend the day... Seems like things can still get interesting.
"So, about that. You might want to listen carefully, MC."
MC's eyes dart to Napoleon for a second, and they're marked with confusion just like hers. She nods and lets Arthur talk.
"According to the legend, St. Brigid struck a deal with St. Patrick to balance the roles of men and women and gave the latter a day to propose to their partner instead of the other way around. Meaning that you get to propose to Napoleon today."
Eyes widening in shock, MC takes a step back as she waves her hands in the air in refusal.
"Wait, what?? I-I'm- I'm not doing that! It's so sudden and this is supposed to be a special moment and-"
"I thought you find the day quite special, Nunuche."
"Could it be... that you don't want to propose to Naps? Tsk, I didn't expect that, MC."
"No- NO! You're both getting it wrong!"
Switching between looking at Napoleon and Arthur and then at Napoleon again, MC hates to see the sadness in her lover's jade gaze, not able to tell if he's faking it or not. If it was the other way around- maybe she too would get upset, even if it all started as a joke, even then-
"Aww, but you two lovebirds haven't heard the rest of it yet! Napoleon has every right to refuse even if you, MC, actually decide to propose to him. But if he does so, he'll have to buy you twelve pairs of gloves. So you can cover your embarrassingly ring-less hands for the duration of the year."
"Twelve??!!"
This time it's Napoleon's turn to exclaim in disbelief.
Which in turn makes MC gasp.
"What are you sounding so scared for?? Are you planning to refuse my proposal? Napoleon? Napoleon???"
"...And you see, that's why I have to hide in here today. Ever since the word spread among my circles, I've been buried in engagement proposals. The little vixens are surely after the gloves, they know me better than to expect a positive answer!"
Arthur muses mostly to himself, rubbing the tip of his shoe in the carpet. The couple is way too focused on their little lovers' quarrel to pay him attention, and he's neither too amused in spicing up their love life, nor too worried about them. They'll figure it out for sure.
"Alright then, back to writing it is. It's an awful day to hole up inside, you two go ahead and use it to its best extent. Don't worry about me."
***
Arthur was right. In fact, making up after that quarrel doesn't even happen, because it isn't even necessary. Or so it seems.
The rest of the available residents have no interesting ideas for Napoleon and MC, as some of them are straight-up perplexed as to why it even matters. Luckily for MC, Napoleon takes all the credit for the strange idea, receiving the weird looks as a result. Some others, however, like Vincent and Sebastian, are supportive and even try to come up with something, like trying a new hobby or doing an activity they've been putting off.
In the end, the day rolls to its end with no great adventures to remember, but not without fun either. Basking in the afternoon light of day longer than the previous, MC and Napoleon take a seat on the mansion's rooftop to watch the sunset. They're both a little too quiet.
Napoleon begins first.
"You have all the right to be mad at me... but... I gotta say it again. I'd never refuse any proposal from you. A proper one, a spontaneous one - well-prepared or clumsy, on a regular day or on a special one. It's you who matters, it's because it's you that I don't care for anything else in the world. I want to be- no, I already am yours, Nunuche."
MC looks at Napoleon with wide eyes, taking in every word. Her lower lip begins to tremble as if she's about to cry, and she turns away from Napoleon.
"Nunuche? Are you alright-"
It's in the very last second that Napoleon notices she's actually reaching inside her pocket, and suddenly in front of him is-
"Stop trying to get ahead of me, didn't you listen to how the legend goes? Ahem... Napoleon, will you be mine?"
It's a... paper ring. Pieced together as if in a rush, Napoleon's mind is quickly getting occupied with the question of how she managed to do this in the short period of time they weren't together today - they were basically stuck together like glue. But that's just part of the reason why he's so speechless right now.
"I would have done this way sooner but I just had no idea what to make a ring out of! See, that's why I had such a problem with that tradition! Ugh, if only bottles in this age came with the little plastic ring-"
"Whatever that means."
"Napoleon-"
Before he can say anything stupid again, Napoleon dedicates to making it as proper as he can, breathing in and taking hold of MC's hand, bringing it over his heart. It's something he's already done before, and he already gets why MC is so mad about the lack of preparation.
"I'll be repeating myself here but... I'm already yours."
The hand placed on Napoleon's chest trembles a little as it clings to the fabric, and soon MC turns it into an embrace, burying her face into his shoulder. Napoleon can hear her sobbing, and tries to make her smile, even if the tears are for sure ones of happiness.
"I'm sorry but, no new gloves for you."
It works, of course it does. She wouldn't be proposing to him if such stupid jokes weren't doing it for her - in fact, she's probably prepared to hear them for the rest of her life.
"By the way, you have the chance to do the funniest thing and propose to Arthur."
And it works again.
"Wouldn't you be jealous though?"
"...Yes, I would be."
MC rests her head on Napoleon's shoulder as they watch the scenery; even if she's actually watching the paper ring standing proudly on Napoleon's finger, from the corner of her vision. They're back to being silent, but the serene calmness in the air is evident this time. MC is the first to break it.
"...It's a sunset like any other."
"I can't wait to see it again with you in four years."
Tumblr media
a/n: Arthur's parents have an Irish background so I imagined that's how he knows about the tradition! It was fun researching this when trying to think of a plot for the fic...
