I think it’s kinda funny in it’s own way. As viewers/readers, we never really get to meet or know Thief King or Atemu. The versions in the series are just the yami’s playing a role, we know Yami’s memories are shot and I doubt he’s anything like he would of been 5000 years ago living as an Egyptian Prince and I honestly don’t trust all of Bakura’s memories either, plus the whole merge with Zorc and live in the ring for 5000 years thing. So neither of them as the guys back in ancient Egypt they’re pretending to be. Bakura’s just playing as Thief, but he’s changing the narrative, I doubt thats how Thief acted in the original battle because he wouldn’t of had the same tricks and means to fight as Bakura does (like the hour glass and like Atemu having Yuugi, etc) But I just kinda think it’s funny, cause they’re apparently so important but we never learn who they truely were or anything really about them besides Thief’s good at holding grudges no matter how long it takes.

#oh and I'm pretty sure it's on this account but I do see yami and ancients as different people just cause the scenario's in which they were #raised especially yami yugi he has no memories. None. Yuugi is raising him.#even as atemu it's clear he's got no clue who this guy is or what he's been up to in life #so I just thought this was a funny thought #thief king bakura #atem #pharaoh atem #thief king #yugioh #ygo #short rambles #zorc #yami bakura #yami yugi #yami #bakura #Florence Bakura #florence #the end is just a game of play pretend #we never meet Atemu nor Thief and we never get to know what they're truely like #we just base them off the yami's or personal interpritation #(I do a mix of things)#(I'll admit Atemu's turned morally grey or has some questionable morals in my writing lately but he's fine)#(Thief's a fun bag of everything who knows what today will bring? hugs for all!? or seething rage we'll see soon Xp)#have fun Xp

Mereoleona was surprised, to say the least.

From what she could tell, the only thing Vangeance had touched was the non-alcoholic eggnog.

And yet, he seemed a bit more... emotional (?) than usual? He definitely wasn't acting his usual self. She didn't really know why she cared - just yesterday, if you'd have asked her if she cared for him at all, she wouldn't have told you that he could go rot, for all she cared - but nonetheless she found herself watching him more intently than planned. Which was coupled with this weird feeling that she could have sworn was concern...

For him???

Nah, no way!

Not that bastard!

She looked at her own glass of eggnog, swirling the contents around a bit, before sniffing at it. It did smell a little off...

Charlotte was too drunk to have noticed - probably had some of that eggnog herself - and Dorothy was assisting her to a guest room, while the briar mage insisted in a slurred voice that Dorothy should "keep her hands off of Yami". Dorothy was busy. None of the other captains that were here seemed to notice that the eggnog was alcoholic, and, if they knew, no one was talking.

Instead, they seemed amused by Vangeance's impression of Sukehiro - which granted, was hilarious, if only on account of the fact that his voice was comically off and the impersonation was greatly exaggerated - and didn't seem to find anything strange about that. How often did those five - Sukehiro, Ripper, Silva, Vangeance and her brother - even get together if they didn't seem to notice something that seemed fairly obvious to her...?

Or maybe Vangeance knew?

Would he really get himself knowingly drunk, given that he was probably going to have to return to work the next day?

It seemed fairly irresponsible, but then again, so did betraying an entire kingdom. And Festiver was approaching, it was common for people to get inebriated during the holidays. Hell, it was one of her favourite past times.

Ultimately she decided to rule out the possibility of him being purposefully, knowingly drunk though.

So, walking over to him, she pulled him away from the table.

"Alright, I think you've had enough of that eggnog, Vangeance," she announced, dragging him off.

"Oh, hey, Sisgoleon," Yami slurred, unsurprisingly drunk. "Why don't you join us instead of killing our fun for once. There's plenty of drinks for everyone..."

"I can see that," she snapped back at him.

"I only had a couple glasses of eggno-" William protested, which was cut off by a hiccup. "Unless there was a limit to how much were are allowed to have-" another hiccup "-in which case, I apologise..." Well, at least she could hear him more clearly than Yami. "But I'm pretty sure there's plenty left -" hiccup "- on the table."

"Hey, Vangeance, drink something before you give me a headache with that hiccuping of of yours, will you?" Yami handed another glass of eggnog over to him, ignoring Mereoleona's attempt to stop him from doing exactly that.

"I don't recall there being any limits on the eggnog, no," Fuegoleon said, quite possibly a bit drunk himself. "There's no need to be concerned, there's plenty left for everyone..."

She groaned. "Please tell me you at least have a designated sober person for this, you idiots..."

"Nozel.... or maybe Fueggy over here..." Yami started pointed at the other captains, "but you know, I could always just get my wheels to drop us off... if we do get hammered."

"Neither I, nor Fuegoleon plan on drinking, and I'm fairly certain that Vangeance hasn't touched any alcohol..."

'And that's exactly where you're wrong, bird brain...' she thought, annoyed. "Alright then. I guess there's no reason for me not to get hammered myself since you're all so very clearly sober..."

"You and I should have a drinking competition, sometime, Sisgoleon," the captain of the Black Bulls offered. "See if you're any better than your brother over here..."

"I doubt it would be much of a competition considering you're already drunk out of your mind, Sukehiro," she turned away. She chose to stick around though, interested in how this was going to go down. Unsurprisingly, not well, was the answer.

In the end, all of the captains ended up hammered.

Which left Randall to take a rambling Fuegoleon back to the Crimson Lion King headquarters. Finral and Zora meanwhile lugged a very aggressive, drunk Yami - who weirdly kept insisting that only he could tease "Prickly" (was that an imaginary friend, or something?) - to the Black Bull hideout. Puli assisted a stumbling Charlotte who was busy wailing "Yami!!!" with all the subtlety of a blue whale - on the other hand, Prickly could have been Charlotte. Nebra and Solid assisted a confused and far too honest for comfort Nozel, who switched constantly between moaning about how much of an insensitive, rude jerk Yami was, to swooning about Dorothy - coming from him, that was kind of unsettling with how out-of-character it was. Dorothy had been playing with Nozel's braid before he got dragged out, and then she was helped by an oddly concerned Kirsch back to her base. Walter took Rill back, who kept talking in a dazed voice about this random girl that saved him - but that was no indicater of inebriation for Rill, as he'd been in this state for weeks now. As for Jack he kind of just... stumbled out into the darkness, which didn't exactly concern her as much as it should concern the people he might attempt to slice up. Judging from the voices outside though, she assumed that one of his squadmembers had gone to help him. Kaiser had returned early to his wife.

But the Golden Dawn didn't show up.

Which could have been because Yuno was currently in Hage with Asta, last she'd heard of Langris he'd went on some spiritual journey, or it could have been because the idiot - Vangeance - hadn't thought to call anyone even when it became apparent he wasn't going to get to his base alone.

And if that didn't speak to his level of inebriation, then his half-awake ramblings definitely did.

So, she grabbed him with her lion paws.

As it were, she had no idea where the Golden Dawn headquarters were. Instead, she went to the Vermillion House, which she assumed would have at least some spare guest rooms left. Worst case scenario he could simply take her room, she barely stayed inside the manor anymore anyway and had her own place in the wilderness. She'd inform the servants of his arrival, to ensure that no one was caught by surprise next morning.

But in the meantime, there was the journey there, which wasn't made any shorter by William's constant ramblings. She could swear he'd never been this talkative when sober. In fact, as far as she was aware he was mostly a very reserved person.

Now everything - every apology and regret, every compliment and delusion - poured out of him like water out of a fountain and it was... weird.

After hearing him apologise for Fuegoleon losing his arm for the tenth time, and mutter out random names she assumed were names of the deceased from the reincarnation event given the little information that he gave her, as well as trying to apologise for and simultaneously defend Langris and his behaviours... she was starting to feel a bit bummed out for even taking him with her. The sentiment was getting too much to handle. And when she thought the worst was over, he started pining over his elf friend and Langris. By the time they were close to the manor, he'd thankfully almost fallen asleep, but even then he wouldn't shut up. In the end she had to put a fire paw over his mouth to stop herself from getting all torn up about him. She wasn't about to feel sympathy for the enemy.

"Tell me there are guest rooms available...?" she asked one of the maids once she'd entered the manor.

"A-actually L-lady Vermillion... some of your relatives-" by which the maid really meant anyone remotely related to her "-had been invited to stay overnight at the manor..."

"I suppose that leaves my room," she sighed. "Please inform my father and the rest of the staff about the new guest."

"I-I'm not sure your father would approve-"

She rolled her eyes. "Arya, he's clearly drunk. And I don't plan on doing anything inappropriate with him, if that's what you're implying. And father can stuff his approval somewhere - maybe don't tell him that in those precise words though. I've been an adult for over a decade now, and it is still my room to do with as I please, no?"

"Well, y-yes..." the maid obediently nodded. "D-do you need any help with-"

"No, that's fine."

With that, she took the man up to her room, laying him down on the bed and finally retracting her fire paws. Relieved to know that he wasn't trying to talk anymore, she took off his boots and then put a cover over him. He seemed more peaceful now. Endearing even.

She bit the inside of her cheek, annoyed at herself. There was nothing endearing about a traitor.

'Even a traitor with a guilty conscience...?'

Even a traitor with a conscience.

"Mereoleona..." she heard a murmur coming from behind her as she was leaving the room. Oh, dear gods, not this again, she wasn't about to put up with more guilt-

"... I love you."

She froze at first, before turning around when he didn't say anything else. His eyes were closed, and there seemed to be a smile tugging on his lips. He appeared to be, asleep.

"I love you" followed her out of her room, even as she closed the door, unable to push it out of her mind.

Three little words. Three words that left her indignant. Afraid. Excited.

Was this some kind of cruel joke?

Or was that really how he felt...?

"That bastard," she whispered placing a hand on her chest. "If this is a joke, I'll kill him."

#black clover #william vangeance #mereoleona vermillion #mereoleona x william #william x mereoleona #merilliam #romance #but also like angst or something because I'm evil #wait #would it count as romance if William's unconscious admission was given only at the very end of the scenario?#like... what are the rules here?
