HOT THINGS HE DOES FOR YOU ── sebek zigvolt + gn!reader, 537
i. verbal appreciation. it’s a whole thing. there’s not a single day that will go by that this man doesn’t let you know how much he appreciates every little thing you do for him. sometimes it’s loud and booming, making the other students and staff in the library flinch because of the sheer volume of his voice, but other times it’s silent and soft-spoken, the ghost of a kiss against your skin in the late hours of the night. he doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal, but it means so much to you that he’s so open about how truly grateful he is for you.
ii. towers over you most of the time. he’s big and strong, and there’s something attractive about that combined with the fact that he’s practically dedicated himself to being your guard alongside his official duties to malleus. it’s not uncommon to have him lingering behind you, ready to step forward the moment you need his help. the position also makes for very good back hugs, should you request them at the right place and time.
iii. has a tendency to touch up on your appearance without you asking. he’s used to looking after silver, making sure he looks nothing less than perfect (even though silver has that unfair advantage of always looking princely even if he fell asleep in a ditch), and that habit extends to you over time. he soundlessly reaches out to you to adjust the collar of your uniformm of the fringe your hair as if you have no personal space, leaning in close enough for his lips to accidentally brush against your skin. it’s a wonder that he doesn’t notice the way your breath hitches (or does he…?).
iv. takes a while to learn how to whisper, but when he does, you can’t help but feel like he’s using it against you in some way. he gets closer than necessary when he’s whispering in your ear, to the point that his lips are brushing against your skin every time he moves. you don’t want him to tell him to move away, especially since you’re not exactly uncomfortable by the sudden close proximity, so you’re just left to pray to whatever deities exist in the world of twisted wonderland that he doesn’t notice the way your ears are suddenly burning hot and you’ve somehow forgotten how to breathe.
v. remembers the most trivial things about you, from the expression you make when you’re eating something you’re not particularly fond of to your body language when it’s too cold but you don’t want anyone to know that you’re freezing your ass off, even the way your gaze shifts around a crowded room when your social battery is depleting. one could say that he knows you better than you know yourself. he applies his knowledge very discreetly, so subtle that barely anyone notices. you do, of course, because you’re quite proud to say that you know sebek almost as well as he knows you. but you’re much too hesitant to point it out, afraid that if you were to do so, he’d stop. (a silly fear; sebek wouldn’t be able to stop caring for you even if he tried)

I am not against Sebek Zigvolt Propaganda… HOWEVER! I wish he would use his indoor voice a little more. He... His VA speaking normally is nice. I... Ahem... This was technically made as a birthday gift for the wonderful @ruggiethethuggie since the other gift is still... Unfinished... And I'm sorry... I will finish it one day... Please accept this for now my dahling and happy birthday hehe. I would've wrote some Rizzley content but... I don't feel confident yet wwwww. Anyway, have a Hellishly Happy Birthday! <3 <3 <3
SUMMARY:
You asked Sebek to flex for you. Why? Ace said if you could get a photo of him flexing before the end of the night, he would do all of your Animal Linguistics homework for a month! How hard could it be?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Human, what are you attempting to ask of me?!” Sebek was already shouting. His brows furrowed and thick forearms flexed beneath his black blazer as his arms crossed over his chest. Thankfully you met with him outside near the gardens so his voice wasn’t echoing through the halls of Night Raven College. “I want to take pictures of you flexing.” You responded with feigned confidence in your voice, struggling to keep yourself from warbling or looking anywhere but his face. You never actually dreamed of asking Sebek such a thing. You also never planned to speak with him unless you had to. This was brought about as a dare from Ace Trappola. If you can get a picture of Sebek flexing for you, he would do ALL of your Animal Linguistics homework on your behalf for a straight month. It sounded easy when Ace offered up the proposal. Key word: Sounded. 
Sebek was staring down at you with a face full of suspicion, his lips curling with mild disgust. You could see how sharp his cuspids were. “Why are you asking me for such a thing?! Could it be you are searching for my weak points?! I won’t let you find them! I am Malleus’ impenetrable shield!” He roared and reached for his magical pen, causing you to take three nervous steps back with your hands held up in defense. “No! No! No it’s not like that! It’s nothing to do with Malleus!” You cried out as Sebek clutched the glowing pen in his grasp. His eyes narrowed angrily as you scrambled to find an excuse. “Then why would you want to get a photo of me exposed?” He snarled with venom in his tone. You could feel your face becoming warm from the way he phrased the question. “Don’t say it like that! Just know that I need to get a picture of you flexing!” You answered and he still looked unwilling to do anything with you or for you. “It’s for personal reasons!” Still nothing. “I want to try building muscle mass and I wanted a picture for inspiration!” You shouted, you were running out of ideas and you were even more embarrassed now. Your face was on fire and you honestly wished that the Earth would open beneath you and swallow you whole. If Ace was here, he would be laughing so hard his stomach would’ve burst. You couldn’t tell Sebek that Ace sent you, he would downright refuse if he knew the truth. Sebek hesitated before tucking his pen away, a stern look replaced the suspicion and his posture relaxed. “I see. Fear not, Human! For the sake of becoming stronger, I shall agree!” He shouted and you felt your muscles relax hearing him comply. “Under one circumstance!” Damn it. He crossed his arms over his chest with a confident smile, you could see his eyes glittering with joy. “I wish to see your resolve in exchange for my photo! You shall be exercising with me tonight!” He announced and you felt your jaw fall slack. He expects you to actually exercise with him? The most you’ve ever done was a few meek push-ups during P.E with Coach Vargas. He didn’t give you a chance to refuse as he laughed and walked off, leaving you alone in the courtyard to mentally prepare yourself for tonight.
*+=+*
You arrived late, closer to 11pm since you needed to put Grim to rest before you could sneak out. The atmosphere of Diasomnia was very intimidating, along with the students who stayed within the castle-like dorm. You had only made it a few steps past the heavy, gothic door before running into something. Something very solid. Thanks to this very solid object, it saved you from Lilia trying to offer you a snack or Malleus staring at you in total silence like a freak. You were still as Sebek looked down at you with a frown.
“Human, your eyes seem to fail you! Did you not see me in front of you?!” He shouted, but made no effort to move as you buried your face deeper into his chest. His uniform was absent. Sebek was dressed in a black compression shirt, and dark green sweatpants. The Diasomnia emblem was printed in white on his left thigh. “Sorry. I didn’t see you. Honest.” You spoke into his chest, relaxing against him as you silently admired how sturdy his body truly was. His toned abdomen, his thick pectoral muscles, his solid thighs, and even his large, strong hands now gripping you by the shoulders to shove you away. As he held you at an arm's length away, snapping angrily at you for your lack of awareness, you glanced down to see he was wearing a large pair of fluffy dragon slippers. Cartoonish and cute with tiny wings and a forked, felt, light pink tongue. They were a stark contrast to Sebek’s brash personality. 
“Enough dawdling! You are late, and the Diasomnia curfew had begun two hours prior to your arrival!” He huffed as you rolled your eyes in annoyance. “I told you, I had to wait for Grim to go to sleep first.” You scoffed and walked towards the stairs with him angrily following behind you. He was scolding you the entire time for your ‘timeliness’ and ‘lack of dedication’. But you don’t recall telling Sebek you would be showing up early to work out with him. The two of you entered his room, and you had to be cautious to step over a small pile of books. He was silent, but you noticed he was suddenly flustered. “Stand over there!” He commanded, and you obeyed, taking a spot next to his dresser. 
You couldn’t help but smile as he began to tidy up his room. The books on the floor were cleared away, he hid a stack of papers into a notebook. He closed his closet filled with dark colored clothing, and he tucked his sword underneath his bed. Sebek’s cheeks were red, his face was scrunched into a scowl as he turned and pointed at you. “Now we may begin! Come! Show me your strength!” He commanded as you approached and stood before him, resisting the urge to smother your face in the valley of his broad chest. Sebek gripped your arms gently, giving them a soft squeeze before he observed your limbs one by one. He huffed as his calloused fingers slid across your skin, gliding along your forearm down to your nails. “Hm. Your health could be better, but we will make you a mountain of muscled perfection with plenty of training!” Sebek boasted with a gentle smack to your shoulders, causing you to flinch. You frowned at the idea of becoming nothing but pure muscle… Like a pro-wrestler?
“I will show you my basic exercises first, and because it is late, we will have you participate in our next meet!” He let you go before getting down to the floor. You sighed with relief, knowing you wouldn’t have to exert too much of your energy tonight. You’d need it for the long walk back to Ramshackle. “Human! Get on top of me!” He shouted, taking you by surprise as you looked down at him with your brows knit together.
He was in a push up position,.his head facing the floor as you nervously looked around. “Uhhh..?” You weren’t sure how to get on top of him. “Sit on me!” His voice was loud enough to rattle the walls and you were starting to feel flustered. “Okay, okay! Stop saying that!” You hoped that the walls were thick as you swung a leg over Sebek’s body, and slowly sat down on his lower back. Your feet were planted on the floor and you could see him slowly lowering himself to the ground, causing your legs to bend as you nervously looked towards the door. Now you were begging that everyone in the dorm was asleep. “Lift your legs, trust me to hold your weight on top of me!” He snapped, sounding agitated by your feet on the floor. “Oh my god- Sebek please talk quieter…” You whined as you lifted your legs and crossed them below his shoulder blades. He did not falter, instead, his push-ups began to quicken. 
You sucked in air with widened eyes as he continued the steady pace of his push ups. “You make an excellent addition of weight, Human! You are the perfect size for me to become stronger for the sake of Malleus!” He laughed as you could see sweat collecting at his temples. His usually slicked back hair was falling loose around his face. You didn’t think he would have such ease with a human sized weight on top of him. How heavy were the dumbbells he usually lifted?! “Your arms look far too weak to hold my weight! So, I will show you mercy tonight!” He barked with a soft grunt, lowering himself to the floor again with a laugh. You couldn’t fathom how the conversation sounded out of context. Here you are, showing up late at night to meet with Sebek, and he can’t handle using an inside voice. Saying all of these strange things so late at night, hopefully no one gets any strange ideas. You reached for your phone, pulling it from your pocket as you observed the time. You only had ten minutes to midnight.
“Sebek, we should take a quick break!” You suggested as his push ups showed no sign of slowing down. You were sure he had already done over 50 by now. “A break?! I have hardly broken a sweat!” He sounded annoyed with your request and you started to squirm on top of him. “I need that motivational photo of you, remember?!” You announced as he finally slowed to a stop. “That’s right! How could I have forgotten?!” Sebek allowed you to climb off of him, the both of you getting to your feet as your heart began to race. Sebek towered above you, a bead of sweat rolling down his neck as you lifted your phone with your face started to grow warm. 
He stood before you with a proud smile, and flexed his arm for you to behold. You quickly snapped the picture, only five minutes to midnight. You could see the thick muscular arm sporting a long vein in the photo, paired with Sebek’s very handsome and proud smile. You stared at the photo in shock, observing the outline of his chest through the tight shirt, his long sharp fangs, the crease in his eyebrows… Everything. 
His bicep suddenly flexed around your throat as he let out a hearty laugh. Your oxygen was being stolen away with each light squeeze and your face began to redden. But it wasn’t from the lack of air. “Human! We certainly must meet again for your training! With such weak arms, you’ll never become as strong as me! And a happy birthday to you. We will build your body so in the next year, we may fight properly!” He laughed as you groaned in response, your phone now dangling loosely in your fingers as you sent Ace the photo as your other hand tapped against his arm. You might pass out if he doesn’t let you go soon. But at least you won’t have to worry about homework for the next full month.

HELP I'VE BEEN CURSED
SUMMARY: Sebek thinks you've put a spell on him. In a way, he's not wrong.
CHARACTER: Sebek Zigvolt.
WARNINGS: None!!
COMMENTS: Sebek not understanding romantic feelings and going WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS when he catches them >>>>>>>>>>
~~~~~
One moment Lilia was working on his next masterpiece, a blackberries roast beef asparagus casserole, and the next, Sebek was bursting down his door with red cheeks and wide eyes. Whipping his head to face his dormmate, Lilia couldn’t help but smile at the frantic expression on his face.
“Master Lilia! I seek your guidance!” Sebek yelled, “I fear I have been cursed!”
“Oh no. We can’t have that, can we?” Lilia placed a hand under his chin thoughtfully, “Do explain.”
“It’s the Prefect!” Sebek huffed, shaking his head dramatically, “They must have cast a spell on me to remove me from the Young Master! I feel a pull towards them that cannot be explained! It’s illogical and uncalled for! What makes it even worse is the way my heart reacts to them—it palpitates! It’s incredibly concerning! Master Lilia, what shall I do?”
Lilia was baffled for a few beats before a small smirk worked its way onto his face.
Aww, it sounded like little Sebek was in love!
Laughing to himself, Lilia gazed at his underclassman affectionately.
“Listen carefully, Sebek.” he narrowed his eyes dramatically, “A curse has been placed on you, but not by the Prefect. The only way you can lessen the effects of the curse is by staying with them. I’m afraid it may last a while, but staying with them should build your immunity. Make sure to treat them well and make them feel comfortable. That’s essential.”
“Yes, Master Lilia!” Sebek nodded vigorously, “I’ll follow your instructions perfectly! Thank you for your guidance!”
Lilia could barely hold in his laughter as Sebek ran out of the room, surely off to find you and fulfill his duty. He just hoped you were ready to have a rowdy boy trailing after you for however long it took for Sebek to confess to you directly. Humming a jolly little tune to himself, Lilia started his lovely cooking experiment once again.
📚
“Sebek...? May I ask why you’re following me?” you asked, staring at the stack of your textbooks in his arms, “And why did you insist on carrying my stuff? You usually just laugh at me-”
“I’m doing this for Malleus!” he yelled, staring straight ahead with a slight flush to his cheeks, “Don’t ask questions, human! I’m not doing this for you!”
“Right, right.” you hummed, patting his shoulder absentmindedly, “Thank you though. Those books are pretty heavy. It’s helpful having someone like you around to help carry all this stuff since Grim can’t carry his own things.”
“Hey! It’s not my fault!” Grim crossed his arms, huffing angrily.
Sebek nearly recoiled at your touch, the contact sending a shock wave through his brain that sent his heart into another frenzy. There was no way you were a magicless human! You must be a secretly powerful mage deep down, sent to infiltrate Night Raven College and get to the Young Master! Sebek narrowed his eyes at you as you mumbled something about lunch, hoisting your bag higher on your shoulder. Yes...he’d have to observe you more. For Malleus. (Not because he liked being around you, bleh. What a ridiculous idea.)

SEBEK X GN!READER
WC: 701 tags: one shot, idk comfort ????, sebek zigvolt, gn!reader, mild cussing, teasing (i mean this in a SFW way !!!!!!!!!), they make fun of sebek for being loud >:?, not proofread go figure
a/n: to be honest, i said i was done writing and was going through my docs and found this... i wrote this out of anger (which is kinda funny) because i kept seeing people be mean about sebek awhile ago, and yes, if i was a violent person i would like to hit all of you who say things like this about that tall, mint green haired, greenish yellow eyed, pretentious ding dong of a man, how dare you- he is baby.
Tumblr media
All eyes were on you as you stood there clenching your fist, gritting your teeth, and glaring at the other first years in front of you. You had had enough of it. All the times they made jokes about “oh, I wish I had duct tape” or “oh god, here comes loud mouth” every time Sebek would go to give his input on something, Sebek acted as if it didn’t bother him, but you? It bothered you more than you thought it would. “One more word, and I swear by all things vested in me, I will hit you so hard, you’re going to be begging Sam for a magic potion to heal your wounds- external and internal.” Your voice was stern and slightly aggressive so they took you seriously.
“We were just joking,” Deuce said quietly. He could tell by the look on your face that you meant business, you didn’t find their little jokes funny at all. “Sorry, Sebek,” Jack apologized. Jack never partook in the endless jokes and teasing Sebek endured from the other first years, but he was never the person to ask them to stop either. You gave each of the first years a look that you hoped would be engraved into their souls before turning around and going back to your desk. You angrily opened your notebook and started writing, not really sure what you were even trying to write down, but trying to find something to do to occupy your heated mind.
After a few minutes, you could hear the boys go back to having their frivolous conversation, but you looked up as you saw someone standing beside you from the corner of your eye. Your gaze met that of the tall, green-haired Diasomnia student’s. Your eyes wandered the room confused as you sat up at your desk, looking past Sebek to see if the first years put him up to some stupid prank, but none of them were paying either of you any attention anymore. “Yes, Sebek?” you said as you put your pencil down. “I just wanted to tell you thank you,” he responded. “Hmph, you shouldn’t let them be shitty to you all the time,” you scoffed as you went back to writing. Sebek chuckled and took the seat beside you. “Maybe not, but I appreciate you saying something nonetheless. But why’d you feel the need to stand up for me?”
The look in his eyes was genuine, he truly didn’t understand why you felt so offended by their words and actions when they never directly affected you. “Well.. because it’s rude for one. And I don’t care what you say, I know it bothers you.” The look you gave him told him you could see right through his lies he always tried to deny. He smiled softly as he looked down for a second. “You got me, let’s say it does bother me. It’s not that big of a deal to make you say something though.” You narrowed your eyes at him, not that big of a deal? “If it’s even slightly hurtful, then it’s a big deal. You can’t just ignore it. They’ll just keep doing it over and over again. They make me so mad sometimes.” Your gaze changed from Sebek to the other first years across the room, laughing and enjoying each other’s company it seemed.
“I just hate how they treat you, makes me feel all defensive. Like someone is attacking me at the same time.” Sebek shook his head at your words. “The words aren’t directed at you though,” he chuckled again. “You’re a bundle of heated anger right now, aren’t you? Why don’t we go somewhere after class. We can go walk through the botanical gardens? How does that sound?” You rolled your eyes at his words, but going to the garden might make you feel better, or at least you hoped it would. “Fine, Sebek. We can go after class.” You looked over at him, seeing him smiling back at you, and you playfully stuck your tongue out at him. “Stop staring at me, weirdo.” He laughed at your words and pulled out his own notebook to finish writing notes of his own.

"I am not a crocodile!"
"That's something a crocodile would say."
This argument has been raging on for the past fifteen minutes, you insisting that Sebek was, in fact, a crocodile, and him repeatedly denying your claims.
"If I really am a crocodile, and only if, then what's the basis of your claims?" Sebek huffed, leering at your stubbornness.
"Well, first of all your name is only a letter different from the Egyptian crocodile diety, Sobek." you started, "You're proud of your family's bite power— something that is also related to crocodiles." you continued, taking delight in teasing the poor Diasomnia freshman.
"Your irises are shaped like slits— another crocodile trait." you looked sure, suppressing a giggle when Sebek donned a worried expression. "And the most telling sign is that...you're green!" you concluded, pointing at him like how Phoenix Wright would yell 'objection' at a trial.
"Am I...am I actually..." Sebek stared into nothing, looking like a wave of existential crisis washed over him and pulled him into a sea of uncertainty.
"I...I need to ask my mom." he said before running off, much to your surprise. "What?" you tried to run after him.
"Sebek wait, it was a joke!" but he was already gone by the time you finished. "This is...bad" you realized, quickly running over to Diasomnia to console the puzzled crocodile— no, fae.

A Kiss to Study ~ *Sebek Zigvolt*
Tumblr media
Summary: Sebek doesn't have time to tutor, as he has his own studies, the equestrian club, and taking care of Malleus. But when you give him a tantalizing proposal, he can't help but consider it.
Pairing: Sebek Zigvolt X G/N!Reader
Genre: Fluffy Drabble
Word Count: 740
Warning: teasing and romantic tension
Masterlist
Taglist: @soulangel @savanaclaw1996 @goseew
Sebek Zigvolt had no idea what was about to hit him. It was just a normal day at NRC, like any other. It didn’t foretell any of the trouble that would soon befall him.
One minute he was on his way to his room.
The next he was practically pinned against the wall.
You were staring him down, one hand next to his head, effectively caging him in. He swallowed thickly at your actions. Your very presence was intimidating yet it stirred to life the butterflies in his stomach. The same butterflies that have confused him for the past month.
Did he have a crush on you? Who’s to say? He had never had feelings like this before. Sure he was absolutely obsessed with Malleus, but this felt different. And with you staring at him like that, those different feelings were getting harder to ignore. Either way, Sebek found that he was at a loss for words.
“Where are you going?”
“To-to my room.” He breathed.
You hummed, eyes scanning his face up and down, even glancing at the dark blush that was slowly creeping up his neck. He was frozen solid under your gaze. It felt as if he made one wrong move and he’d regret it.
“Why?”
“I need to study.” He tried not to make it sound so pathetic. It felt like that would be the wrong move to make.
“All by yourself?”
“Yes, of course.”
Sebek was honestly a little impressed that he was keeping his voice so steady as his heart beat erratically in his chest. To him, he sounded more confident than he felt. But he wasn’t sure if you thought the same.
“I see.” He shivered as your fingers traced his jawline. Your touch was so soft. He almost whimpered, but he swallowed it quickly. “You know, I am falling behind in Enigmics and you’re one of the best in the class. Maybe you could give me a few pointers?”
Now, if you were asking him any other way than you were right now, he would have dismissed the opportunity. It was no concern of his how you were doing in your studies. He was busy with his own work, attending to Malleus, and being a part of the equestrian club. There was no time to help a fellow classmate with their own schoolwork. Even if he did feel a strong attraction to you.
However, this wasn’t a usual request. You had deliberately cornered him and were using his attraction against him. His mind was slow to catch up with the words you were saying and what he would be agreeing to if he said yes. And he really wanted to say yes to you right now.
“Oh?”
You nodded, dragging your thumb over his bottom lip now and leaning in closer. “Like I said, you’re at the top of the class for Enigmics.”
With your lips only a breath away from his, Sebek found himself leaning in. This was crazy. He knew how crazy he was being. Just because someone attractive was showing him attention did not mean he needed to give in to his desires. However, his brain was still slow. He had yet to catch himself falling for you.
You pulled away. “But, surprisingly, Ace is pretty good at Enigmics as well. So, if you’re so insistent on studying by yourself, I’ll go ask him for some help.”
Sebek stood there, still leaned in as if he was about to kiss you. However, his brain finally caught up to him. His stomach flipped over and his hands felt clammy. Even though his emotions were all over the place, one thought was clear: he couldn’t let this golden opportunity to study his odd feelings for you slip away.
“Wait!” He called out.
You paused, arching an eyebrow. “Yes?”
He hesitated, which surprised him, but he didn’t show it. “If you would like to study with me, you may. I do not mind having a study companion. That is, provided you are earnest in your studying.”
A smile graced your face and he almost melted. Almost. “Are you sure?”
Sebek nodded. “Yes. Please.”
You giggled and made your way over. Before entering his room, you pressed a soft, loving kiss to his cheek. “Thanks, Sebek. I really appreciate it.”
He blushed. His hand went up to gently touch the spot you kissed him and he felt his cheeks burn. “You’re very welcome.”

⊹ giving them flowers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
premise. no plot we are just giving them flowers cause guys deserve some too <3
content. fluff, mini scenarios, azul turns into a silly nerd (affectionate)
featuring. jamil, sebek, riddle, azul.
note. actually accidentally posted this yesterday and got a heart attack (also an actual consistent posting schedule...?)
Tumblr media
jamil gives you a look.
he spares a long stare at the bouquet you clutch between your hands, wearing an awfully cheeky grin that's chipping off the scold in his throat. "how many times have I told you this?" he deadpans.
but from the obvious fact that you're holding it. it's not like jamil can do anything about it.
"you don't buy flowers for yourself," he says firmly. I'm supposed to be the one getting them for you. he would like to add.
"they're a waste of madol?" you tilt your head.
he answers immediately. "no, just—" jamil's eye twitches like he's trying his hardest to keep something. "don't,"
perhaps he's being a little too blunt but it makes him upset. is he really messing up in gift giving to the extent where you have to buy something for.. yourself? and jamil is pretty sure gifts are called as such for a reason.
and that they're from, or gifted to another person.
you chuckle in your fist, but he continues to ramble; "also it's hard to care for flowers when you don't know much, i don't want you to—"
"jamil hon, my baby, the apple of my eye, the love of my life, they're for you,"
you say simply, and watch in amusement when his moments stutter before they stop to a complete freeze.
a furious wave of heat crawls up on his back but he's praying frantically. now is not the time. he seethes.
... he just tripped over his words.
jamil reluctantly accepts the flowers after you've finished laughing your ass off, and the only thing in his mind is the love.
okay maybe he should pick up a book about caring for flowers. do they even survive in the harsh conditions of scarabia?
whatever he'll make it work.
Tumblr media
you should've expected this.
despite your arm honestly starting to tremble under the stress of holding it out for about 2 minutes straight now, you still attempt a smile—although strained. wouldn't want sebek to find it an unfriendly gesture.
even though he probably already thinks that anyways.
you don't want to color sebek in a way that shows that his only personality is being suspicious to everyone, and of course. the dearest young master he adores. (seriously though it's a little concerning, and you're kinda jealous.)
sebek stares at the bouquet in your hand with scrutinizing eyes, as if to say non-verbally: 'what is this'.
you sigh when he just stares at it like it's a bomb. "it's flowers." you deadpan.
sebek pursues his lips, looks away before looking back. "I can see that!" he says like he wasn't wearing a face that made you think you had to explain. but he just crosses his arms and falls silent with a huff. "for the young master, yes?'
he pauses. "I can atleast acknowledge your gesture, human!"
was that supposed to be good? you weren't given the chance to explain because he continues again; "though I will have to make sure that these aren't anything the young master is allergic to." he nods to himself, as though proud for being so thoughtful.
your eye twitches. you're a little surprised that he didn't even imply that it could be possibly a bomb inside to try and assassinate them.. but you notice a slight tense-ness to his demeanor.
you know cause he's huffed about 5 times in the past 1 minute, he's looked away and he's very clearly sneaking peaks at your hand.
—then he huffs to himself! then it repeats.
"I will take them to the young master at once!" he announces with his loud volume, stepping forward to grab it from you but you ultimately beat him. you're just praying he doesn't find you 10x more suspicious the moment you had wrenched it back to yourself with surprising strength you didn't know you had.
even he looked surprised!
"no, sebek.." you heave. "they're not for malleus, they're for you."
he didn't have the heart to correct the way you addressed the young master before he dutifully exploded.
he's shaking away from you with a wobbling, agape mouth. he could only open and close them dumbly, not beir capable to let a word out.
you suppose he was too speechless because he didn't even say anything when you happily pushed the bouquet to his chest like nothing happened.
Tumblr media
for someone who's most diligent in studying, you'd think riddle would be able to catch on easily on the gist of your actions.
but he just blinks when you hold out your hand. pretty gray eyes trained on the bouquet of red roses in your grasp, then onto your face with inquisitive question apparent with the raise of his brow.
"we have plenty of roses in our gardens." he says, as though like giving him... these is the most bizarre phenomenon in his life.
it seems like he feels the need to add. "we grow them."
you smile, the sweet thing awfully tight on your face. "they're for you," you explain. a little perturbed that you need to in the first place, but it's riddle so you sorta understand?
riddle squints. "why?"
you blank. "like... like a gift, for you? you know. cause I want to."
then as if the slowness of the processing going on in his brain gradually speeds up. it's obvious he's probably realized the implications of your little gift from the jolt, then widened eyes who stare in disbelief.
riddle gulps. "for, me?" he asks stupidly.
your raised brows say yes.
it's almost hilarious when he accepts them gratefully and stares at them like you just sprouted a literal white rose from the ground, wrapped it in some fancy plastic, and then handed it to him with a smile.
silence ensues again. riddle notices, screeches in his head to do something about it except he can't, cause his mind seems to be broken right now and he can't exert any words but a stammer.
and he'd really like to relearn how to speak because you're fidgeting on the spot, clearly nervous by his silence.
"sorry," you chuckle. "um.. it's just red roses, not white, or blue, or pink—"
"no!" he blurts out far too quickly. hands stretched out in the air a little as though reaching out to stop you but then stiffly staying by his side. riddle clears his throat. "I mean... this is... very important to me."
you look like you don't really believe him cause he was going off about roses in his dorm before.
he flushes, away from your gaze. "because its from you."
Tumblr media
you can barely see azul.
or gauge out his reaction if it's supposed to be good or bad, because you can barely even see his eyes from all the sudden sheen of white over it. did all the smoke in the room just gravitate over his glasses conveniently or something?
you can spot the joints in his fingers twitching but oddly enough he remains stiff in front of you. uncharacteristically silent, which wouldn't really lead to good things.
"hello?" with your free hand, devoid of any flowers with the power of freezing a person. you wave it in front of his face which seems to have done a pretty good job with snapping him out of whatever trance he's in.
the glasses slip down the bridge of his nose but he fixes them at record speed. admittedly with clammy fingers.
azul coughs. "thank you very much." he clutches them tighter, pursuing his lips.
"I know octavinelle is not the best place for warmer places," he starts and a flash of confusion on your face is something he misses. "but I will manage it and find an accommodation for these, around 34 or 35 degrees."
your brows furrow. what.
"hmm yes... a nice vase, I'll use the most pure water there is." he rants. "then I'll fill it up with two thirds of its container and make sure it lives healthy."
that's... concerning.
"I'll have jade clean it regularly." he says and you're honestly more scared for the flowers. "I cannot trust floyd either so I'll trim it by two centimeters at the right angle occasionally when it dries."
he says all that, with a pink face.
you awkwardly stand there taking in azuls apparent plans on how to ensure the lifespan of your 'thoughtful' gift will be extended as far as he can help in to commerce your honor.

You talk too much
↬kissing them as a means of shutting them up
Tumblr media
Includes; Riddle Rosehearts, Leona Kingscholar, Azul Ashengrotto, Floyd Leech, Sebek Zigvolt
Gender Neutral Reader
Tags; a little more on the crack side but i hope you like this nonetheless!
Not requested !
-
Riddle Rosehearts
"... OFF WITH YOUR HEA-"
Y'know the buffering logo for poor internet and such? That's Riddle at this very moment. It takes a solid couple seconds for him to realize what just happened or what he was even talking about for that matter
His face is blazing. The very same shade as his hair and his body is slightly trembling, shocked- no utterly astonished at what you just did.
Buffers out for a couple more seconds before promptly scolding you on how inappropriate your actions were and blah blah blah. Unfortunately, you may get collared... I hope it was worth it and honestly it is since you get to see Riddle's pouty face as he scrambles to recompose himself
But if he's being honest, your lips are really soft and warm on his, and now he can't help but stare at it for a little afterward because damn, he wants another. But he will not ask because that's below him, and you must pay for your actions - he mustn't give in to your kisses 😤
Proceeds to think about it afterward, becoming distracted in his tasks and zoning out because how dare you kiss the queen of hearts and definitely not because your lips are soft
Leona Kingscholar
"Careful Herbivore, you're tempting a lion right now. How shall I punish you for this, hm?"
How dare you cut him off and his words of wisdom 🤧<- said words were probably about sleep or something
However, he acts as though his hand isn't already sneaking its way around your waist, his teeth nibbling on your bottom lip, all for the goal of coaxing a reaction out of you
He composes himself fairly quickly. If anything, it's going to be YOU reaping the consequences of your actions and Leona is smug about it.
Flicks your forehead while his free hand grips your chin with two fingers. He's making eye contact with you simply to see your confident demeanor stutter and waiver before his very eyes.
He's making a toothy cocky grin at you, going off about punishing you and verbally assaulting your ears with his husky voice. And he leans in tierrbly close, his breath tickling your cheek. He's going to make you flustered and kinda terrified to what he may have planned, or are you 👀
If you think you're gonna be able to just walk away, you are horribly mistaken. Hope you have nothing planned for the rest of the day because you're gonna be acting as Leona's pillow.
Azul Ashengrotto
"Angelfish- dear- if you wanted kiss you could have just ask... ah, was it something I said, perhaps?"
Buffer logo number 2. He stands there for a couple of seconds unsure of what to do or what to say
Someone bring over his little pot, he needs to sulk for a little as he comphrends what just happened
His face is flushing pink in embarrassment, even bringing a gloved hand over his face to conceal his not so subtle mental breakdown. Furthermore, it was hard to tell if he was mad or simply flustered(its the latter). He kept diverting his gaze as his fingers twitched slightly.
He refuses to make eye contact with you because doing so just makes the red hue on his cheeks even worse. And suddenly his shoes became the most interesting thing— that or his glasses require cleaning for the nth time, definitely not an excuse or anything
Azul thinks he must have said something wrong, already apologizing over stuttered words, which really come off as babbles because his tongue is working faster than his brain
When he finds out it was just a small little prank - a little jab - he begs that you save his dignity and never do this again because he will turn into a puddle.
Pray this doesn't happen in front of the twins who will tease and berate the poor man with not so harmless humor from the kiss.
Floyd Leech
" Ahhh shrimpyyy did you get tired with my voice, hm~??? Why don't we take this somewhere private hehe~"
A death wish, we salute you
The moment you kiss him, he's already wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer against his figure. And those razor like teeth of his? Those are chomping down on your bottom lip. Your lips are gonna be all swollen and painted magenta by the end of this, but that's what happens when you tempt an eel he claims.
If he's flustered, it's not evident on his face; rather, he seems amused more than anything, a cheeky smile finding its way to his lips as he lets out a giggle that makes goosebumps run down your arms.
He's a horrible tease, one that's gonna use this as an excuse to drag you off and cuddle(and kiss you breathless) for a couple of hours. You can practically see all the ideas that is stirring up in his brain as he processes this
But sometimes it's hard to tell if what he's saying is a genuine or Floyd is simply making light... banter. "You're so silly shrimppy, but don't interrupt me next time, kay?~" He says with a grin that can be classified as either intimidating or teasing. Maybe both.
Tbh, he might take this experience and apply it himself, kissing you for no other reason other than that he was bored and your lips happened to be at the wrong place and time. What you were saying didn't matter much anyway 🤧
Sebek Zigvolt
" Y/N, WHAT WAS THAT?? ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPLY SOMETHING ABOUT WAKA SAMA?"
We applaud you brave solider
Scolds you, no hesitations. He stutters over the first couple of words, struggling to compose himself, but once he does, his mouth is spilling words after words. His face is terribly pink, and he seems both flustered and offended... which he's probably both because he's a drama queen.
If you were trying to shut him up, he's only gonna be talking even louder as he berates you on your behavior and whatnot. RIP ears 🙏
Everyone will learn about it with how loud he is. The scene from an outsiders perspective is quite a silly one; one of Malleus's personal guards rendered speechless for a couple of seconds before screaming his head off.
He vents about it to silver later that night and treats it as though it's the end of the world. He's going off and off about your kiss. Without even realizing it, he started talking about how soft your lips are andddd he's going into great detail-
And he can not sleep, no matter how much he tosses and turns because all he can think of is your lips. If you see the tip of his ears reddening, no you didn't... 🤭
Lilia b e g s you to do this more often because it not only gives his ears a break but a lovely window of opportunity to tease Sebek into oblivion

Summary: Malleus, Silver, and Sebek meet the baby.
[Can be seen as a continuation to this fic]
Tumblr media
“Malleus, why are you holding the baby that way? You held baby Silver before just hold them the way you used to hold Silver.”
Malleus’ form gradually softened, “Babies are fragile. It’s…been a while since I held Silver in such a form.”
You nodded and rubbed his shoulder, “Yes, and look how strong he’s become.”
The one in question leaned forward and poked at the little one’s hand, smiling fondly when tiny fingers wrapped around his.
“You boys were adorable as babies. I can picture it. Cute baby Sebek and Silver and plushie Malleus.”
“Plushie-”
You smirked as Sebek smothered himself from being too loud.
“Come Sebek, you’re too quiet. Come hold the baby. Nothing is better than baby cuddles.”
You dragged Sebek over who stuttered before freezing as Malleus lays the babe in his arms.
You all watched as Sebek practically melted when your baby opened their eyes and smiled at him before sleeping again.
“Please tell me you got that on camera, Lilia.”
“Every second of it.”
As you watch your family, you know the future is brighter than ever…
“Hey Sebek, were you born a baby or a were you a hatchling?”
“WH-”
Silver smothered Sebek’s voice before he could wake the little one.
The smiles and laughter lasted for a long while.
You could even say it lasted for eternity.
Tumblr media
I felt kind of bad leaving the boys out before and didn’t know how to add them in, so they get their own part 💞💞💚💚🫶🫶

What to Expect When Your Lab Experiment Drinks Formula
Tumblr media
PART TWO, PART THREE
A continuation (Mini fic Ver.) fic of what I made for Rook, HERE
| Synop.: You and your lab partner make a mistake in your potion, one that comes out looking strangely like it's related to you.. |
Characters: Azul Ashengrotto, Malleus Draconia, Lilia Vanrouge, Floyd Leech, Sebek Zigvolt, (Rook Hunt) x MC
Warnings: Suggestive (Floyd), Angst (Sebek), implied light manipulation (Malleus)
Scroll Farther Alert! There's a narration cut for the second part of each fic after the first portion. Don't miss it! Each ends with fluff. Sebek's is long, fair warning.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
You're trying to make a simple transformation potion, aging up a tadpole to a frog, when you add the wrong ingredient, and use one drop too many on the poor tadpole. The result is a child that looks eerily like the two of you...
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Azul Ashengrotto
"Holy-- great sevens, Azul, is that a child??"
He holds it up a foot away from him, equally baffled.
"Don't ask me! You're the one who insisted on using the wrong ingredients!"
"You were the one who picked those--"
"WAHHHHHH--" The baby flails its arms and fusses at your petty squabbles.
You turn your attention back to the small creature, looking disoriented from being held so far away from any solid ground.
Azul's watching too, as the child seems to scold you both with an oddly knowing glare that could kill.
You've seen that glare before--
"Azul, am I crazy, or does that thing look like you??"
"Weh." It motions towards you as Azul looks over it.
"Gracious, so it does. And it looks like you too. Look at its' nose and eyes."
You come closer to look, but the baby seems intent on having you hold it, squirming out of Azul's hands.
"Ahem, I believe the little one wants you--"
He pushes the wiggly baby into your arms, taking the moment to reposition his glasses, which had slid down with nervous sweat.
"I'll go talk to professor Crewel, there is undoubtedly something he can do about this."
Malleus Draconia
"Child of man! What is that you're holding?"
"Um... it was supposed to be a frog...."
Malleus takes it from you, holding it cautiously. The little baby he holds has soft black hair, slit-pupiled eyes the same color as yours, and suspiciously familiar shorter horns. It coos at him and motions to his horns with curious, grabby hands.
"Whatever we did, we must have touched it at the same time, Tsunotarou... Because it looks like a mix of both of us."
He puts it on the back of his neck with his arms up to support the chubby infant as it grabs at his horns.
"Hm. It's quite cute, Child of man. We can keep it in Diasomnia if Ramshackle doesn't have the capacity to care for it."
You stare on in disbelief.
"It's... its a frog with a transformation potion... we can't keep it, Malleus!"
He frowns, taking the infant down from his shoulders and cradling the small bundle to his chest.
"The potion had birch seed in it. The transformation is permanent; so I don't see a reason to get rid of it."
Malleus smiles, tickling its chubby cheeks.
"There's no way it's totally permane-- Wait. Didn't you have me add some of those ingredients? Did you know this would happen?"
Malleus is suspiciously silent.
"Malleu--"
"I'll go ask professor Crewel if there's a reversal." He sighs, handing the baby to you and moping all the way to the desk.
Lilia Vanrouge
"If you wanted a baby, precious, you could've just asked--"
You nearly slap him. So cocky, when there's a baby that looks suspiciously like you and Lilia on the table where a grown frog should be.
"Sevens, Lilia, this is not the time--"
He chuckles.
"In my defense, I told you not to use a sprig of pine."
You splutter, lost for words and flustered. The baby certainly seems to share Lilia's sense of humor, giggling mischievously at your flustered expression.
You pick it up before Lilia can, determined to barge straight into professor Crewel's office if you had to to get an answer on what this thing was.
"Heh, MC, the baby's smiling at you--" Lilia calls from a distance. You look down and find that the baby is indeed wholeheartedly excited that you're paying it attention, reaching its chubby arms up to feel your face and grab your nose.
"Aww.. so cute," You whisper, blowing a stray breath into its face for amusement.
"I heard that!" Lilia shouts from the table. "Don't go getting too attached now. I'm not raising another child, darling."
"Shush! I'm taking it to the professor right now, you have nothing to worry about."
Floyd Leech
"SHRIMPY, CAN WE KEEP IT---"
Floyd is whirling the baby around in excited twirls.
It's a very cute moment, but you're still baffled at the little creature's existence-- since it very much didn't exist about 10 seconds ago.
"Floyd, I'm pretty sure that's just an oversized tadpole..."
He stops in mock offense, thrusting the baby into your face.
"Does this look like a tadpole to you?? Unless you're suggesting that we both look like tadpoles, in which case, I'm taking offense because this baby looks like us."
He puts it down to play with its tiny legs.
"Look, shrimpy! It's going for a walk--" He pauses to think. "A sky walk!!" And continues to make the little one's legs 'walk'.
While Floyd is busy making baby noises to amuse the child, you're panicking. This potion had birch seed-- an ingredient known to make transformation potions permanent, if you remembered correctly.
"Floyd, c'mon, give it here, we need to take this to profess--"
"NOO we'll keep it!!!" Floyd holds the baby tight to his chest. "It's wayyy too cute!"
You pry the baby from him reluctantly.
"We cannot just keep a child, Floyd, it's not an animal--"
"If you take this one I'm just gonna make another one!!" He cries, moving to grab another tadpole from the tank.
"NO NO NO NO FLOYD--"
"Well don't take my little sea-star then!!"
You sigh.
"I'm almost 100% sure this is permanent anyway, but neither of us are in a position to care for this baby. We might as well take it to the professors and see if they can do something. We can't just hide the fact that we accidentally made a baby for our final project anyway---"
He mutters something about 'could've made a baby other ways, but it had to be the boring way', but allows you to go with the little one, who coos in your ear.
You hear a clatter.
"GET YOUR HAND OUT OF THE TADPOLE TANK, FLOYD--"
Sebek Zigvolt
"Human, explain. Explain----"
The baby bites his finger, which apparently was pointing at it too close for its liking.
"Ouch--! What do you think you're doing, little tyke? Do you think that just because you're an infant that you have an excuse to bite a retainer of the great Waka-sama??"
The baby looks blankly at him.
"You can't scold a baby, Sebek." You scoffed, bouncing the child on your hip.
"Fine! But you still have to explain why this child has my hair and eyes and....-- isn't that your nose?" He looks momentarily horrified as he comes to the conclusion you came to minutes earlier.
"Oh NO NO NO NO MC THAT IS NOT OUR CHILD, TELL ME THAT CREATURE ISN'T OURS--"
"For goodness sake Sebek you're shouting right in our baby's ear--"
"'OUR'?? THAT IS NOT 'OUR' ANYTHING, THAT IS YOUR POTIONOLOGY MISTAKE AND NOTHING MORE--"
He's babbling nearly incoherently at this point, and you have to stop the baby from attempting to bite him again out of what you can only assume is annoyance.
"...I would NEVER have a child with a lowly, magicless human, this CANNOT get out---"
"waah...wEHHHHHHHH"
Sebek stops talking for a moment, ears ringing.
You, too, are shocked.
"Sebek.. if it's not your child then I have ANOTHER auditory atrocity of a person to avoid on this planet."
"..."
"I'm taking it to professor Crewel."
"I think that's wise."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
You/ your lab partner take the child to professor Crewel, who determines that it is in fact a permanent transformation, and that biologically the baby is as much yours as any other naturally born to the two of you.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Azul Ashengrotto
"Are... you ok, Azul? You've been staring into space for a... ahem, awhile."
The baby crawls around the the VIP Room of Mostro Lounge, bumping into walls. You suspect it may need glasses.
Surprisingly, the baby seems well-tempered, unless you have the misfortune of holding it the wrong way or otherwise inconveniencing it, to which it seems highly irritated.
However, it was one 'just like your father' comment that sent the already figity Azul into an unresponsive state.
"Was, um.. was that too soon?" You ask tentatively.
"..Yes.. yes, I think it was." He responds distantly.
"Azul, it's gonna be ok. We'll figure it out." You get up from the floor to hold his hand.
He meets your gaze, eyes sharp and calculating.
"Yes, of course we'll be fine, how could we not be? Finances are no issue and we could always hire a babysitter and.... well, it's not that. It's just a lot to take in."
"Today's been wild," You agree softly, gently picking up the baby to put it in his lap. "But I'm here for you."
You lean down to the baby's level.
"We're here for you, little one."
Malleus Draconia
"I still CANNOT believe you knew, Malleus--"
You're still squabbling with him pointlessly, even though the damage is already done. You can honestly say you've well warmed up to the baby, and Malleus seems to be doing worse than you on the details, having apparently very little idea how to care for a child other than playing with it.
"I'm sorry, Child of Man. I didn't know it was permanent," He insists calmly, but you don't quite believe that.
You sigh. He can act clueless as long as he'd like, but the overly exuberant smile on his face while interacting with your child says more than words.
He picked up the baby and put it down on his bed, already having sewn little, special pillows for the baby to sleep comfortably with its horns.
"You better be a good dad, you hear me?" You say, less threatening that you thought it would come out.
He beckons you over to the bed to lay down next to your baby.
"I will, Child of Man, I promise."
Lilia Vanrouge
You knock on his dorm room door, baby on your hip.
"So..um.. bad news, Lilia... it's perman-- Are you having a party?"
He shoos out at least 10 members of Diasomnia.
"I know, dear. Unfortunately I didn't realize what you had done in time to stop you. So I was having a little 'last moments of freedom party'. How sad, and Silver was essentially all grown up now.. Well, what's another 16 years?"
You're speechless. You had kind of forgotten that he was Silver's adoptive father.
"I'm... sorry, Lilia, I should've payed closer attention to the instructions and I screwed up--"
"Hush, it's fine. It's not the end of the world."
He takes the baby from you.
"I already brought in an old cradle and some food for our little one, see?"
He points out an old wooden crib next to his bed.
"Wow... you're.. so prepared, and I haven't even thought about that stuff.."
He smiled at you, nuzzling the baby's cheek a few times simultaneously.
"I'll admit, it got me a little excited. I didn't think an old man like myself would get the chance to raise a child of my own flesh and blood. But never say never, I suppose. You have nothing to worry about, precious. What you don't know, I have already experienced."
"...Thank you for being so understanding, Lilia."
"Of course, dear, after all, we're a family now."
Bonus the one stipulation is that you will not and will not ever share the cooking duties with him. Silver makes you swear by it to avoid his own childhood traumas for his younger siblings.
Floyd Leech
You brace yourself for the inevitable flurry of excitement before knocking on Floyd's door.
"WHERE'S MY LITTLE SEA STARRRRRR~~~~" You hear from the other side of the door before the door flies open. You hand the baby off to Floyd, who's more than ecstatic.
"It's permanent," you sigh, hoping he's listening. "We have to take care of the baby now--"
"WheeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEE" Floyd runs back and forth across the small room with the child, making faces all the while.
"Floyd!" You scold, finally breaking his stride.
"Ehh? I hear you, shrimpy, how can I not? It's ok, I have a plan. We'll love this baby with our whole hearts!"
"...That's the plan?"
"I spent two hours thinking of it, do you like it?"
"That child cannot stay here," A smooth voice cuts in. "This room is much too small for the two of us, let alone a third."
"Oh, hey Jade, didn't see ya come in," Floyd remarks casually. "And obviously I've thought of that. The baby will live in Ramshackle, because there's more space. It just needs some touch ups to be babyproof, is all."
"Touch-ups? It needs a whole remodel."
Floyd grins.
"Got an idea, shrimpy. Transfer to Octavinelle! Then the baby can share a room with you and we'll all be nearby!"
"Oh forget it, I'm asking Crowley to help me improve Ramshackle. Until then, you'll have to deal with the living arrangements." You put your hands on your hips and give Jade a look that means you'll raise hell if he doesn't agree to you and Floyd's half-baked plans.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt, so long as it was temporary."
"YESSSSS!!!!!"
Floyd's excitement leads to him jumping on you.
"D'ya hear that, Shrimpy? That means you can stay here too. And we'll be one big happy family."
Sebek Zigvolt
"Sebek?" You gently knock on his door, after having been told he'd been doing nothing but pacing around all evening.
"Sebek," you call again, a bit louder.
The door swings open violently.
"What?? Who dare disturb my-- oh. Human." He ushers you into his room swiftly.
"You still have the child? When does it leave?" He asked quickly.
"It doesn't," You said bluntly, putting down the freshly bathed and swaddled bundle onto his bed.
"Don't touch----! Ugh.. Besides... What do you mean, 'it doesn't'? It's leaving, I will not have that thing associated with the Zigvolt name just because of some lowly human's stupid mistakes!"
If you weren't so exhausted, you would be shouting at a decibel rivaling his own.
"Sevens, Sebek, it's permanent, no way around it. I can't go back in time and change this-! You were the one reading off the ingredients anyway, how dare you blame this on me?" You challenge.
"Ah-ahh.. Well, why didn't you check yourself?? Do I need to do everything for you!?" He crossed his arms.
"No, but you do need to do your task, and competently!"
That seemed to shut him up.
"W-whatever. I cannot be a proper retainer to--"
"Fine. Then don't raise the baby at all, I'll take care of it. I never said you had to involved."
"...I.. Human, I didn't say that." His tone seems to soften. You know he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders in his mind but you still find it hard to excuse his poor behavior.
He sits down next to the baby, picking it up at arms length.
"It's cute, just a bit. But I pity it.. it has even less faerie blood than me."
"Is that the heart of this?" You question gently, knowing it's a sore subject.
"Yes, I suppose so.."
"Sebek. Your heritage doesn't define you, and it won't define our child. You are an amazing, devoted person, and you've worked hard to be the person you are, and that's really all that matters. You have no reason to be upset, or worried. We can make this work, I promise. And I promise that I'll there to help you get through this. That is, if you're willing to."
He sighs, taking your hand.
"I fear I am diluting my sullied bloodline more than it already is. The Zigvolt family works with the royal family as their right-hand consults and guards. It's been that way for generations. But who would want a fae so adulterated with human genetics by their side?"
"I don't think that's true. If you really think that's the case, then why is Silver allowed to train as a protector as well? Malleus and Lilia are equally respectful of you both. You don't have to give up your family's title and honor just because of this."
He stiffens, a proud smile on his face.
"You are right, human! I shall not let this get the best of me. I will raise my child to be as dutiful as me!"
You laugh, relieved that he's warming up to the idea of having a family.
You kiss him on the forehead, giving him a hug that encompasses the baby in the middle.
"I'll work hard at being a good father, I swear on it."

NRC'S PAINT CHIP PROJECT! — fiery red
"loud and devoted, prideful in those he loves. worshipping the ground they walk on and giving everything for them."
Tumblr media
There’s something in the way you simply exist that makes Sebek want to serve you.
He’s well aware the feeling is blasphemous, that he should be focusing all the energy he spends on you on Malleus, but he can’t help it. He finds his mind wandering to you every time he sees people talking and laughing, wondering if he could possibly come up with a jab or jest funny enough for you to laugh like that towards him. He finds himself contemplating what he did in training that day and wondering if you’d be proud, despite never once dwelling on those trivial tasks before.
There’s a sparkle in Master Lilia’s eye when he sees you run up, calling out Sebek’s name. Sebek waits for permission from Lilia to go and see you (and Lilia won’t tell him this, but Sebek looks so pleading when he does that.)
Sebek straightens his back and smiles (in the condensing smirk only Sebek would use to express such an emotion) as he makes his way over to you. You smile back, carrying a brown paper back and with his name and a smiley face written on it.
“I brought you snacks.” you hand him the bag, “Sorry it wasn’t super fancy...Grim insisted on using the box I usually use for your snacks for his lunch today. Also it’s not Salmon carpaccio but I hope you think it's good anyway—”
“Human! Stop your incessant chattering!” Sebek booms, taking the bag from you, “I am...thankful! For your...pitiful excuse of an offering!”
“Say thank you properly!” you huff, pinching his cheek, “You need to learn that you can’t keep treating me like that just because I’m human!”
“They’re right, you know.” Silver mumbles, offering you a smile in greeting, “Thank you for taking care of Sebek. He was whining earlier because he wasn’t sure if you’d show up.”
“I was not whining!” Sebek yells, face turning red, “Be quiet, Silver!”
“Aww, don’t worry Sebek! I’ll be here whenever you need me.” you tease, your lips splitting into a wide grin, “If you miss me just give me a call, okay darling?”
“Whuph?!” Sebek jerks backward, face flaming, “Do not call me darling! You—! You infernal—!”
“Cutiepie?” you flutter your lashes, and Sebek’s state only becomes worse.

Can You Take a Crocodile to Prom
Summary: You didn't know NRC had a prom OR that it was tonight ! With the help of Ace and Deuce, you are able to find a date. But how easy is it to take a crocodile to prom?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
WC: 8169 Tags: gn!reader, Sebek x reader, fluff, one shot (maybe?), Sebek is your prom date, he is very awkward because he doesn't know how to person but he is down bad, also there is two options for your outfit for the night (live your best life and choose either one), sorry it is long af, I barely proof read this so don't shoot me if you find something wrong © please do not copy and or repost my work as your own, my brain is massive and these are my thoughts.
You stared at the flier hanging on the bulletin board in the hallway. Ace and Deuce, your usual companions, were hovering behind you as you read. “Night Raven College Prom, Details as follows,” you began to read. “See, I told you we had a prom. This thing has been posted for weeks, how did you not know?” Ace teased. If it had been posted for that long, why was this the first you had heard of it. “I thought you knew already or I would’ve told you. I’m sorry, Y/N,” Deuce said disappointedly.
“Deuce, don’t beat yourself up about it. I don’t know how I missed this, but I want to go. I didn’t go to prom in my own world, and I’ll be damned if I miss it here too,” you said in a determined tone. “Yeah, that may be, but how are you going to find a date on the day of the prom?” Ace chuckled. You turned around and looked at them both back and forth. “You mean both of you already have a date?” you said shocked. The two boys looked at each other and then back to you, shrugging their shoulders and nodding yes.
“This cannot be happening,” you said as you brought your hand up to your forehead. You sat there thinking to yourself, who can you ask to be your date? There had to be someone who still didn’t have a date. “Do either of you know someone… who doesn’t have a date?” you asked. “You can go alone, y’know. You don’t have to have a date,” Ace said smugly. You narrowed your eyes at him, why would anyone want to go to prom alone. Before Ace could say anything else, Deuce chimed in. “I don’t know anyone off the top of my head, but I can ask around and see,” he said assuringly. Deuce was always more reliable than Ace was. Sometimes it just felt like Ace was only there to make your days harder, but you cherished your friendship with him nonetheless.
[later in the cafeteria]
You were taking bites of your food as you went over your history of magic of notes. Ace plopped his tray on the table at the seat across from you. He was so obnoxious, you thought to yourself as you looked up at him. “How is it you have a date to prom and I don’t,” you said sarcastically. Ace huffed at your question. “Maybe because anyone would be lucky to have this, do you know how many offers I got? I was beating them all off with a stick,” he said, throwing some of his tater tots into his mouth.
“You are so annoying. I hope you know that,” you said as you went back to studying your notes. A few minutes later, you sensed someone else sitting beside you. You turned around to see it was Deuce. Ace and Deuce were your closest friends at NRC, being by your side since the beginning. It was nice knowing you had people in your corner in Twisted Wonderland, sometimes it made you lonely when you thought about going back to your home world. You would miss these two idiots dearly.
“So, I found someone who doesn’t have a date. But I don’t know how well it’d go asking…” Deuce leaned over and whispered to you. Ace was trying to listen, being nosy as ever. “Hey, don’t keep secrets. What’re you saying asshat?” Ace said aggressively. Deuce rolled his eyes looking at you before he turned to Ace. “I said, I found someone who doesn’t have a date that Y/N can ask to prom,” he said. “Okay, so who is it? Y/N can go ask now before it’s too late,” Ace said, giving you a smirk and a wink.
“That’s the thing.. I don’t know how well the response will be, with uh…. Y/N being human and all,” Deuce started to say. Ace realized what he meant by this- his eyes widening as he just continued to eat his food and looked down. You were still left in the dark, not knowing who the mysterious potential date could be. You closed your notebook, impatiently sighing as you turned back to Deuce. “Who? I have to ask. It’s now or never,” you said sternly.
Deuce turned your head slowly, placing your gaze on a table across the cafeteria. He leaned closer to your shoulder to better show you just who it was you’d have to ask. He pointed, his finger directed at the mint green haired, loud mouthed Diasomnia student, Sebek Zigvolt. “You’re telling me…. Sebek is the only one without a date?” you said quietly. Part of you was confused, he was very handsome so why would no one ask him. “Well, he’s had offers. But apparently no one meets his standards,” Deuce said reluctantly. “He means none of the ones offering were Malleus,” Ace said with a laugh.
“And I’m supposed to ask him to be my date? I’m no Malleus either,” you said looking at them both. Ace shrugged his shoulders. Deuce put his arm on your shoulder. “Yeah, that’s the problem. I don’t think he’s going to say yes, but it’s your only option,” Deuce sighed. You looked back at the table across the room. Sebek was sitting with other people in his dorm, Lilia and Silver sitting across from him at their table. Malleus must’ve had something else he needed to attend to, you assumed.
You looked back at Deuce and then at Ace, preparing yourself for what would inevitably be rejection. But it was worth a shot, you wanted to go to the prom. “I’m going in. If I come back crying, just know I went out trying,” you said as you got up from the table and walked towards Sebek’s. You could feel Ace and Deuce’s eyes trailing your every step, they were going to watch this show happen for the live entertainment. How annoying.
You tried to figure out how you were going to ask, but realistically, you knew Sebek wouldn’t pick up on subtle hints so it would be best to just flat out ask. Lilia nudged Silver as you approached their table, another group of eyes staring into your soul. You cleared your throat, hoping it would get Sebek’s attention. It did. He looked up from his tray, the typical scowl across his face.
“Sebek,” you said, taking an inhale afterwards. “Do you have a date to the prom tonight?” Sebek straightened himself up, fixing his posture and his dorm uniform. “No, I do not,” he said, staring at you. You could see Lilia and Silver looking at you and then Sebek, making Sebek glance at them while you spoke. “Would you like to be my date?” you asked. Your tone seemed rushed, like you were trying to say the words fast enough before you lost your confidence.
Without missing a beat, Sebek looked at you and gave you an answer. “Yes” was all he said. You were confused, not expecting him to actually say yes. “Okay,” you said, standing there awkwardly. “Okay,” he said, staring back with his yellow green eyes. You weren’t sure what else to say, you hadn’t thought you’d get this far. Lilia broke the silence for you both. “He will pick you up tonight at 7,” he said, smiling at you and then giving Sebek a grin.
“Okay, then I will see you at 7,” you said shyly to Sebek. “Yes, precisely at 7. I will be at Ramshackle,” he said and then went back to eating. You looked around awkwardly, unsure what more to even say. You turned quickly and walked back to your seat, sitting down and putting your head in your arms. “Oh god, he made you cry?! Should’ve known,” Ace said, scoffing and looking towards Sebek. Deuce put his hand on your back and looked angrily across the room. “I bet I can beat his ass. Y/N, do you want me to fight him? I told my mom I wouldn’t, but I think she would understand if I did this time,” he said, you could hear the protectiveness in his voice.
You raised your head up from the table, your face was hot from the awkwardness but you were actually giddy from Sebek’s response. “Oh my god, your face is redder than Ace’s hair!” Deuce said as he stood up from the table. He looked at Ace. “We should give him a piece of our mind, let him know how fucking rude he is,” Deuce said as Ace nodded in agreement.
“Guys, WAIT!” you exclaimed. They both stopped themselves and looked at you confused. “So you, don’t want us .. to beat his ass?” Ace asked. They were both absolutely clueless, how did they make it through college this long. “No, he said yes,” you said coyly. You could hear the gasp coming from both of them as they sat back down in their seats. “I’m sorry, did you just say Sebek, the fucking angry green giant, the dude who literally hates almost everyone but his precious Wakasama- he said yes?! To you?!” Ace said shocked.
You kicked him from under the table. “What do you mean to you? Don’t say it like that, you make it sound like I have no game. You’re the one who ghosts your girlfriends, how the hell did someone say yes to you?!” you said narrowing your eyes at him and frowning. Deuce put his hands up between you two as if to separate you from each other. “Okay relax, both of you. I’m still wondering how someone said yes to Ace, too. But that is not what matters right now,” Deuce started to say. “What matters is you have a date for tonight, so now you get to go do the prom with us. I’m a little shocked it was with Sebek, but maybe he’s desperate to go too.”
Something about that last part he said made you want to kick him under the table too, but you know he wasn’t trying to be mean when he said it so you refrained. “I feel like this is all so sudden, what am I supposed to do for an outfit? Like do you guys dress up in tuxedos and vests like they do in my work?” you asked them both. “Yeah, usually that’s how it works. Like I’m wearing a suit, but my date is wearing a dress. You can wear a dress or suit, whatever you’re more comfortable in,” Ace said. “Okay, that gives me options then. Where the hell do I go to buy stuff here anyway? Is there a store just for prom clothes or what?” you said, pulling out your phone to Google.
“Not exactly, and especially day of prom you won’t find much at the stores. But I think I know a way around it,” Deuce said. “Okay, go on,” you said, turning to him. “So when I had to get my tux, I was talking to Jack about it,” he started to say. You nodded as you listened, you could see Ace across the table was all ears as well. “So Jack told me that Epel told him that Vil had a few things in his closet he would lend out if someone needed, kinda like a charity deal.”
“Interesting, so you’re saying Vil may have something I can buy or use for the night?” you asked. “More than likely, worth a shot in asking. You’re already 1/1 right now, may as well keep it going,” Deuce laughed. Ace chuckled from his side of the table. “He’s right. Maybe you’re secretly super lucky and the night is gonna end up being a weird fairytale fantasy with the crocodile man,” Ace chimed in. “Ace, don’t make me kick you again,” you said teasingly. You put your notebook back in your bag so you could make your way to the Pomefiore dorm to ask Vil for help on an outfit. Hopefully, he would understand and not give you too much grief over it being last minute. “I will see you two boys later, I have stuff to do,” you quickly said as you picked up your things and left. You could hear Ace and Deuce start to chatter as you walked away. 
[after you left Sebek’s table]
Silver’s eyes followed the Prefect back to their table and watched as they put their head on it. “Maybe you should’ve said more than a few words, Sebek. Now look at them,” Silver said, gesturing to the other table. Sebek looked over, his scowl expression turning to one of confusion and concern. “Should I go over and apologize? I’m not really sure what I did wrong. I accepted the invite as their date, what more was I supposed to do?” he asked, looking at Lilia. He held Lilia’s words to a higher standard than Silver’s. In his mind, Lilia knew everything there was to know about the world and its experiences.
“Well, you didn’t do anything wrong, but Silver is right. You could’ve said more than just a few words. You’ll have to make that up to them later,” Lilia said, giving him a look. “What is that look for, Lilia-sama? How do I make it up to them?” he asked genuinely. Silver laughed at how oblivious Sebek was when it came to relationships and courting. “Maybe you can buy them flowers,” Silver suggested. Lilia nodded in agreement. “I think that’s a wonderful idea. Sebek, buy them flowers and give them to them when you pick them up later. Okay?” Lilia said. Sebek put his eating utensils down harshly. “Lilia-sama, I don’t know what to even ask for at a floral shop. What should I ask for? Surely you have an idea of what would be fitting to the situation,” Sebek said as he took his phone out and opened his notes app.
“Ahh, my dear knight, you would be correct. Let’s see. I think there are a few that would be appropriate for the night. Dahlias,” he started to say as Sebek typed on his phone. “Dahlias represent innocence.” Sebek hiccupped in typing as his gaze looked up to meet Lilia’s. He cleared his throat as he started typing again. “Okay, dahlias. What else?” Lilia chuckled under his breath, seeing Sebek get flustered was an entertaining sight. “Next, would be carnations. Do you know what those represent, Sebek?” Again, Sebek stopped typing to look up at Lilia. “No, Lilia-sama. What do they represent?” he asked reluctantly. Lilia grinned smugly. “They represent pure love.”
Sebek’s face was getting hot. “Lilia-sama, are you suggesting that I love… the prefect?” he choked out. Silver laughed and took a sip of his drink. “Why did you agree to go with them? You’ve said no to everyone else, so why the prefect?” Silver asked. Sebek shot silver a look and narrowed his eyes. “There was no particular reason I agreed to go. I just agreed to it to please them,” he said, crossing his arms over his chest. “Father, go on with your list please,” Silver said, ignoring Sebek’s attitude. “Ah yes, of course. So we have dahlias and carnations, next would be- pims. They represent loyalty-” he started to say. “Well, I am a very loyal guard to Wakasama. This flower is very appropriate,” Sebek said, smiling as he typed.
“I wasn’t done. They represent loyalty and devoted love,” Lilia chuckled. Sebek looked up again, a blank expression on his face. “Anything else?” he asked. “Yes, one more. You should ask for baby’s breath. It would look lovely with the other flowers,” Lilia sang. Sebek typed it out on his phone, pausing to hear Lilia’s explanation as to what it meant but there was nothing more he said. “At least one of these flowers is normal,” Sebek said as he turned his phone screen off and sat it on the table. “Oh, no. The baby’s breath represents everlasting love,” Lilia said with another chuckle. “MM, Father, don’t forget the hyacinths. Sebek’s arrangement would be good with those,” Silver suggested. “Ahh, you are correct. That would be a fine addition to the bouquet. Sebek, write that one down as well,” Lilia instructed. Sebek gave a long exhale before picking up his phone and adding it to the list. “Do I want to ask what it means?” he said. “Probably best you didn’t,” Silver laughed.
“Alright. Dahlias, carnations, pims, baby’s breath, and hyacinths. I have the list. I shall go and get this order placed so that it is ready for tonight,” Sebek said, standing up from the table and putting his phone in his pocket. “Yes, please remember to go to the dorm afterwards. We will have a tux waiting for you,” Lilia hummed. “Ah, Sebek, one more thing before you go.” Sebek turned back to Lilia. “Yes, Lilia-sama? What is it?” he asked. “Make sure this night is a wonderful night for the Prefect. I expect you to be on your best behavior,” he said sternly. Sebek nodded with understanding before leaving the cafeteria to go to the florist.
[at Pomefiore Dorm]
“I know, I know. I’m stupid, I just didn’t even know it was tonight. I literally had tweedle dee and tweedle dumb show me the stupid flier because I didn’t believe them,” you pleaded, hoping Vil would understand and show you some type of mercy and help. “Hmph, I suppose it would be kind of me to help you with your night. Seeing as you miraculously were able to land a beau for the night, who am I to leave you in such a predicament?” he teased. You were on your knees, literally begging Vil for his help. “Thank you, thank you, thank you,” you sang. “I could sing your praises all day, Vil. I’ll do anything to make up for it being so last minute,” you assured him.
“No, no. You said you didn’t get to go to your own prom in your world? I do have one, okay maybe two, stipulations,” he said, placing his finger on his lips. “Anything, Vil, you name it,” you said. “One: you will not ruin the outfit you choose and it will be brought back after being professionally dry cleaned. I will not allow you to bring it back to me dirty or mutilated in any way,” he stated, holding up his index finger. You nodded as you listened, a clear sign you would abide by his stipulations. “Two: have a good time, enjoy it. Prom is supposed to be a magical night. I won’t allow you to wear one of my outfits and soil its charm by having a bad night,” he said, holding up another finger. “Okay, maybe three stipulations. If anyone asks where your outfit is from, you will gleefully exclaim that I was able to provide you with such wonderful attire for the night. Does this sound doable?” he said, waiting for your reply. “Yes! I can do all of that, thank you again, Vil,” you said, getting up and grabbing his hand.
Vil swiftly turned from you and walked to his closet. “I will give you two options for the night. Do you know what color tuxedo your beau is going to wear?” he asked as he stared into his closet, looking at all the available options. “To be honest, … no, I don’t,” you said reluctantly. Vil whipped his head around, his eyes wide at your answer. “You came to get an outfit, but have no idea the colors to match with?” he laughed. “Yeah… I did,” you said disappointedly. Vil sucked his teeth. “Then we shall pick something that will go with anything he decides to wear. I have the perfect attire for you to wear. Wait here,” he said as he closed his closet door and went into the next room.
In a few minutes, Vil came back with two dress bags, laid them across his bed, and unzipped them for you to view. “I think either of these would be a wonderful option for tonight, don’t you think, Prefect?” he said. One of the bags contained a black suit with light, pale green embroidered design on it. The design was not “eye popping”, it was very subtle, but not subtle enough to where it wasn’t noticeable. You ran your hand along it, feeling the material it was made out of. It felt expensive, why would Vil let you borrow something this nice? Your eyes wandered to the other bag. It had a long dress in it that was ombré black at the top and then transitioned to a vibrant minty green color along the dress’ bottom. The dress also had a subtle design on it, it was very similar to the suit. It was like they were made together. Running your hand along the dress, you realized it had a slit on it. “How high does the slit go up the leg?” you asked, looking at Vil. “I believe it goes up to the thigh, maybe right above the knee if I remember correctly,” he said.
You looked at both bags, trying to decide which one you would prefer for the night. Either one would look amazing, it was just a shame you didn’t know what Sebek would be wearing. “I think I will take this one, Vil,” you said, picking up the bag with your chosen outfit for the night. “Fantastic choice, let me see if I can get you shoes to wear with it as well,” he hummed as he went back to his closet. You appreciated Vil’s help more than he knew. You still didn’t understand why he was so willing to help, but you didn’t want to ask any questions about that now. Vil came back and handed you a pair of shoes. “Looking at your feet, these shoes fit fine. Enjoy your night,” he said as you took the shoes from him.
[Ramshackle dorm- 7pm]
You were pacing in the living room, wearing the floorboards out more than they already were as you waited. You checked the clock, 7pm on the dot. Before you could even take another breath, you heard knocking on your door. It was a uniform knock, very clearly the one of someone who sought out nothing less than perfection. You could see through your door’s peephole your guest outside. Sebek was at your door, dressed to the nines. He looked stunning in his tux. The white suit complemented nicely by the mint green accents on it. Almost as soon as you fully opened the door, he was offering you a bouquet. “These are for you, I hope they contribute in making the night a special one,” he said as you took the bouquet. It was full of flowers of all types. The dahlias, carnations, pims, hyacinths, baby’s breath- all in white, created a beautiful bouquet.
“Sebek, these are gorgeous?! I didn’t think you would get me flowers, this was so short notice. Thank you,” you said, staring at the flowers, touching them lightly to feel the silky petals. Sebek scoffed as he put his arms behind his back and looked off into the distance past the side of the dorm. “What type of date would I be if I lacked manners? Lilia has made it quite clear it is my duty as your date to the prom to make this a splendid night for you. I refuse for it to be anything less than what you dreamt it would be,” he said in a matter of fact tone. “I would also like to take this chance to say that I think you look exquisite tonight, truly a pleasure to be able to accompany you tonight.”
“Wow, Sebek. That’s pretty sweet of you,” you said as you turned to put the bouquet inside. “Give me one second.” Sebek waited for you by the door. You came back to him with one of the smaller carnation flowers in your hand. “Can I put this on your tux? I think it would look really nice,” you said smiling up at him. Sebek, seeing the flower you picked, avoided eye contact with you. “Yes, do as you please,” he said. You pinned the small flower on his tux and looked up at him. “Thank you for agreeing to go with me tonight, it means a lot to me. Especially since we don’t really know each other,” you said sweetly.
Sebek looked down at you, your eyes glimmering in the moonlight. For a moment, the loud man was at a loss for words with the sight before his eyes. “Ah, yes,” he said, clearing his throat. “I hope that I am a satisfactory date for the night.” He held out his elbow for you to wrap your arm through it as you two walked. “Sebek, is that a.. carriage?” you asked, looking at the black and green carriage waiting on the dirt path in front of you. “Absolutely,” he said proudly. “I told you I intended to make this night memorable. I assume you’ve never been treated like royalty before. As a knight, I think I know how to accommodate for this,” he said as he helped you into the carriage before climbing in beside you. “Where in the world did you even get this?” you laughed. “No, I’ve never been in a carriage before, so this is a first.”
“I’m glad I can be your first then,” he responded not a second later. You gave him a quick glance, his words coming off different than he probably intended. “Ahem,” he grunted as he shifted his eyes. “The Headmage was able to arrange this for me with the help of Master Lilia.” The two of you sat awkwardly for a bit before you broke the silence. “So, you had a lot of people ask you to prom, why’d you say yes to me, Sebek?” you asked shyly, fidgeting your fingers in your lap. Sebek looked at you with an expressionless face. “I didn’t want to go with them,” he said and then adjusted his suit to be neater. You nodded at his response. Did that mean he actually wanted to go with you? Was he waiting for you to ask the entire time?
You felt the carriage stop moving as you arrived at the prom venue. You oo’d and ah’d as you got out of the carriage, of course with Sebek’s help. There was no way he was going to let you get out by yourself, he had made that clear already. “Watch your step,” he warned as you took your step to the ground. “The prom had begun a while ago, but the activities should still be in order, Prefect,” he said as he offered you his elbow once more to hold onto. You took it with pleasure as he led you towards the venue. “That’s fine, as long as we get to have some fun tonight, that’s all that matters. Right, Sebek?” you laughed, lightly tugging at his arm. You could’ve sworn you saw him give a slight smile at your words, maybe he was warming up to you.
You two were walking together inside when Sebek saw Lilia and Silver by the front doors. You followed as he walked you up to them. “Lilia-sama, Silver. How are your evenings going?” he asked properly. “Ahh, Sebek, Y/N. You two finally made it, and look how nice you two look together,” Lilia purred. “I do hope Sebek is being a gentleman tonight-” “Yeah and not embarrassing our dorm, aaaa,” Silver said with a yawn. He looked at the watch on his wrist, probably wondering how much longer he had to stay before Lilia would let him leave. “I would never bring shame to our dorm,” Sebek scoffed. You patted the arm you were intertwined with using your free hand. “He has been quite the gentleman, I promise. He even brought me flowers. You should’ve seen them,” you boasted. You could tell Sebek was on fire from your words by how awkward he was being.
You rubbed his arm in hopes that it would help ease him, but it didn’t seem like that was really helping anything. “Oh, I am elated to hear you loved the flowers. It seems each one was individually picked for the occasion,” Lilia said grinning at Sebek. “Oh, is that so?” you laughed, looking up at Sebek. He wasn’t laughing, nor was he smiling. “Ah, yes. I guess we will see you guys inside,” you said, tugging Sebek’s arm to go inside. He gave a few glances at both Lilia and Silver before walking away. “I didn’t know there was that much thought into the flowers,” you said coyly. “Yes, well each one represents something more than just their physical appearance,” he muttered. “Though, I did have some assistance in choosing the right ones.”
Once inside, you saw Ace and Deuce near the tables of food. Deuce was the first to notice you two, subtly nudging Ace in the side to get him to look at you and your date. “Sebek, do you mind if I go talk to Ace and Deuce real quick?” you asked. “Of course, do as you please,” he said softly. Sebek had not been the loud mouth you thought he was the entire night. He was using a much softer, gentler tone with you. It was nice, but you knew no one would believe you if you told them. You walked over to Ace and Deuce. “Hey, I thought you two had dates for tonight,” you said, crossing your arms over your chest. “Did you really lie to me? You guys are so mean.”
Deuce put his arm on your shoulder. “Look, we didn’t do it to be mean. We just…,” he started to say before Ace cut him off. “We just thought you would be better suited for someone else” he said smugly. You huffed at his words. “You two are my closest friends. You set me up with Sebek? Really? What if he rejected me, then what?!” you quietly shouted at them. “Take it from us, he wasn’t going to reject you,” Deuce said as he leaned in and whispered in your ear. “Just trust us on this.” You glared at them both before walking back to Sebek. You wanted to ask Sebek about it but you were more angry at your friends than him, and with the way he was acting, it didn’t make any sense on why you should just “trust them” about him not rejecting you. You went back to Deuce’s theory of Sebek being desperate to go as well, that’s obviously what it was.
Sebek was waiting on the edge of the dance floor, he did not look excited at all to be there. Yes, he was so desperate to come to prom. “Sorry, I just wanted to chat with them for a second,” you said as you stood beside him. “That’s quite alright, you are welcome to spend your evening doing what you see is best,” he said with his arms behind his back. “Would you.. like to go dance?” you asked quietly looking up at the green haired boy. Sebek’s gaze shifted to you but he never lowered his head to look at you. “I am more fond of orchestral music than the current trending music. I apologize in advance, but if they do play something I prefer, I will surely take your hand for a dance.” You looked out to the floor, everyone was enjoying their night and dancing away.
“Would you like to sit down then, we can just hangout?” you suggested. “I would enjoy that,” he said as he took your hand and led you to one of the empty tables. You went to pull out the chair for yourself, but he immediately stopped you. “Allow me,” he said in a soft voice. You let him pull the chair out and push it towards the table after you took your seat. He took the spot beside you, adjusting his suit once again after sitting down. “It doesn’t have to be perfect, y’know?” you teased. He looked up at you confused. “If the night is made to be perfect, then that means everything must be perfect, including my suit, Prefect,” he said as he continued to straighten it. “Okay..,” you mumbled under your breath. Sebek was definitely particular.
“Is there anything you wish to talk about, Prefect?” Sebek asked after a few minutes of sitting in silence together. “Not anything like specific,” you said. The awkward silence was becoming your best friend at this rate. “Actually, Sebek,” you said as he locked eyes with you. “Is this your first date? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to,” you said. Sebek broke eye contact with you, avoiding it as he answered. This must be something he does when he gets flustered you thought to yourself, avoiding eye contact. “This would be considered my first date, yes. I don’t usually entertain the thought of going places with and spending my time with someone other than those in my respective dorm. Is this your first date?” he asked back. “No,” you said. “I’ve had boyfriends before in my home world, so I’ve been on a handful of dates before. Nothing super special though.”
“I see, that is very intriguing information,” Sebek said, nodding. “Yeah, I didn’t get to go to my prom back home because I was sick for like a week before it and still didn’t feel good the day of, so I had to cancel on my date,” you continued. “That is a shame, for the both of you. A shame that you weren’t able to attend your own prom, but also a shame for him that he wasn’t able to have you by his side at such an event. But alas, there is nothing that can be done though. I do hope that this night is all you hoped it would be,” he said as he grabbed your hand. You cocked your head to the side, confused on what he was doing as he got you up from your chair and led you towards the dance floor. “Would you be so kind as to dance with me?” he asked before walking onto the floor. You nodded slowly, his sudden urge to dance taking you by surprise.
As he led you to the floor, you heard the song that was playing. It was an orchestra piece, it was clear that is why he wanted to dance. You thought the song sounded familiar but couldn’t quite figure out where you had heard it from. Sebek led you in your dance, you did your best to follow. “Sorry, Sebek, I’m not the best at formal dances,” you said as he spun you around. “It’s fine, just follow my lead, Prefect. You’re doing fine,” he said. As the song continued you could sense eyes on you both from around the room, but dancing with Sebek felt so harmonious that you couldn’t be bothered. As the string instruments went into their final number, Sebek dipped you, slowly bringing you back up and the music faded. You were at a loss for words. Never had you danced with such a partner, nor been twirled and spun so effortlessly.
“Wow, Sebek, that was something else,” you snickered. He gave you a coy smile as he took your hand once more to walk back towards the table. In a moment, you felt another hand grab onto both of yours. It was Ace’s. “Hey, Sebby, do you mind if I take the next dance?” Sebek looked at you, as it was your decision to say yes or no to Ace’s request. You shrugged at him. “That’s fine, Trappola,” he said, looking over his shoulder at you before walking away to the table. As the next song played, Ace began to dance with you. It was nothing compared to how Sebek had just danced with you. “How is the night going with the green giant, Y/N?” he playfully asked. “Well for starters, he bought me flowers and then showed up with a carriage to bring us here,” you laughed.
Ace made a face as he kept dancing and then looked over at Sebek. “Who does he think he is, a prince?” he teased. “That actually sounds very nice though. Are you enjoying yourself?” His playful tone was gone as he was genuinely asking if you were having a good time. Sebek was hard to read, yes, but overall your night had been more than you could have imagined. Your only wish was that he was more lively, letting his guard down more. “It has been pretty good honestly. Still mad you two lied and set me up, but I think it’s okay,” you said sarcastically. Ace laughed at your words as the next song started. Ace spun you once and let go of your hand where you found your hand landing in Deuce’s hand.
“Oh, hello,” you laughed. “So you two are just throwing me around now? What am I, a toy?” Deuce shook his head as he danced with you. “Absolutely not, we just wanted to dance and see how it was going. We know he’s hard headed and sometimes loud, but he’s a pretty nice guy under it all. You just have to get there,” Deuce laughed. “Yeah, I know, but that seems impossible at this rate, like look at him he’s just sitting by himself,” you pouted. Deuce glanced over at him and then immediately looked back at you. “I think… he’s mad actually,” he whispered. You snuck a glance in, hopefully, without him noticing. “Nah, I think that’s just his face to be honest,” you whispered back. You were very thankful to have Ace and Deuce looking out for you, even if they did lie to you and set you up with Sebek.
As the next song started, you recognized it. Somehow they had gotten music from your own world in Twisted Wonderland. Sebek grabbed your hand, taking you away from your current dance partner. “Sebek, you want to dance again? I thought you only did it for orchestral numbers,” you said teasingly. Sebek smiled at you, a genuine smile. In that moment, you wished you could see it more often, for it was more flawless than you could have imagined. “I do prefer orchestral numbers, but I like this song,” he said. The song playing was Hero by Enrique Iglesias. You’d be lying if you said it wasn’t one of your own favorite songs.
You two started to dance again, Sebek leading once more. Something felt different this time though. His one hand on your waist and his other in your hand felt warm and inviting. Your brain was telling you that the song is what was making this feel more intimate than it was. You two danced to the song, feeling like the sounds around you were drowned out by the music playing as you looked into Sebek’s eyes. You playfully sang the song to him. “Would you swear that you'll always be mine? Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?” you sang to him. He flusteredly looked away, avoiding eye contact once again. “What’s wrong, Sebek? You don’t want to be my hero?” you laughed as you laid your head on his chest as the song continued to play. Through the sounds of the people around you chatting and the music playing, you almost thought you heard him breathe “No, I do.” You brushed it off as your mind playing tricks on you. This is Sebek, not NRC’s greatest bachelor. You continued to dance with your head laying on his broad chest, it was surprisingly very comfortable.
As the music faded and the song ended, you looked up at Sebek. “You’re a good dancer, Sebek. You take lessons?” you said playfully. Sebek chuckled as you two stopped swaying. “Yes, I actually had to take quite a few dance classes under Master Lilia’s recommendation. He said ‘A knight will never know when he has to dance. He must be ready,’” he hummed. You looked around the prom, the amount of people present was much less than the start of the night. “Should we head home? It looks like most people have already headed out,” you said. Sebek looked around the room as well, still holding your hand. “If you would like to leave for the night, I do not mind going now,” he said looking at you. His eyes were softer, you could tell something was melting the ice cold wall he had to shut others out.
“Okay,” you whispered as he began to lead you to the front doors. He assisted once more in helping you into the carriage before getting in himself. You could see the sky above you being taken over by darker clouds overhead as you looked out the carriage window on your way back. Sebek must’ve also been looking out his own window. “It appears that it is going to storm,” he said to himself. “Yeah,” you said looking at him. “I hope you can get home safely. I know it’s not too far, but still.” Sebek locked eyes with you for a moment before looking down at his hands. “Yes, of course. I think the carriage can get me home safely. I’m not too concerned about thunder or lightning storms,” he said with a small chuckle. “Ah, here we are,” he said as the carriage stopped and he opened the door. You crawled over to his side, taking his hand to help you out.
You both walked to the front door, the silence louder than ever. Sebek stopped in front of your door looking aimlessly around the dorm. “Well,... thank you for tonight, Sebek. I had a wonderful time,” you said quietly as you twiddle your fingers. “I am pleased to hear you had a wonderful night, Y/N. Thank you for having me as your date,” he said, giving a small bow to you. Him saying your name made your heart skip a beat. The entire time he had known you, including all of tonight, he had just called you prefect. After he bowed, the awkward silence set in once more. Neither of you knew what to really say, but you felt the rain starting to drop. You took it as a sign to go inside so he could leave before the weather was too bad. “Okay, well goodnight, Sebek. I will see you tomorrow, I guess?” you said in an unsure tone as you unlocked the dorm door. “Yes, of course. I will see you then,” he said as he turned to go back to the carriage. Once inside your dorm, you shut the door behind you. Leaning your back on the door and sliding down it to the floor. Everything tonight felt right in all the best ways, but reading Sebek’s emotions was hard. He never gave you much to work with, so there was no way to really tell what he was thinking.
You could hear the rain outside the door starting to pour. You hoped that the sounds of the rain and thunder would drown out the increased beating you could hear your heart doing as you thought about your night with Sebek. Hopefully he gets to Diasomnia in one piece. The last thing you wanted was to hear about some freak accident that happened to him on your way home. The sound of three quiet knocks on the door made you jump. It was too late at night for you to have visitors, Crowley would be upset if he knew you had company over past curfew. You got up from the floor to open the door.
You opened the creaky door slowly, not knowing what to expect. What you weren’t expecting was to see a drenched Sebek standing in your doorway. “Sebek?! What are you still doing here? I thought you left? Why are you just standing in the rain?” you said, trying to pull him inside from the rain. The moment you grabbed his hand, a light switch went off in his head. He met you halfway into your pull and grabbed your face to drag you in for a kiss. He pressed his lips to yours, the water drops from his hair falling onto your face. You could feel his passion behind this kiss. There was no guessing how he felt now or what he was thinking. You reciprocated his kiss, trying to shut the door with a free hand so the cold, rainy air would stop coming inside. The two of you shared the kiss for a while, your lips both pressing hard against each other’s.
Sebek pulled his face away from yours, staring back at you with the softest expression you had seen yet. You could look into his eyes and see how content he was in this moment. “Sebek?” you whispered. He was still holding your face, looking down at you. “I’m sorry, Y/N, I- I just have wanted to kiss you all night.. I didn’t want to leave without doing so,” he sighed. You stared back at him for a moment before saying anything. “Can we… talk about this in the morning, maybe?” you asked hesitantly. “Yes, I’m sorry. I apologize if it was too forward and you don’t feel the same,” he said, letting go of your face. “No, it’s not that. I just- tonight has been a lot. So I think it is better to talk about this tomorrow,” you said.
“Of course,” Sebek said as he went to open the door. “I shall speak with you about it tomor-” He stopped as he opened the door and looked outside. The carriage had left him. You looked past his shoulder to see what made him stop in his tracks. “Sebek,.. you can’t walk home in this rain. I won’t let you,” you said behind him. “You can stay here, I don’t mind. You can even have my bed if you want to.” Sebek scoffed at the suggestion. “I would never forgive myself if I allowed you to sleep anywhere other than your bed in your own home for my sake,” he said sternly. “I will sleep on the couch. You will stay in your normal sleeping quarters for the night.”
“Your clothes are also drenched, do you want me to rummage through the drawers and see if I can find anything for you? Surely there is something that would work,” you said walking towards your stairs to go upstairs to your room. “That would be nice, Y/N. If not then I will just have to cope with the clothes until they are dried,” he said sitting on the couch and unbuttoning his tux jacket. You went upstairs and rummaged through all the drawers you could find. The only thing you found that would maybe fit Sebek was an old tshirt from god knows how long ago. He was too tall and too built for anything else. While upstairs, you took the chance to get out of your own outfit. Making sure you gently took it off and neatly tucked it away on the dresser, a gentle reminder to yourself to take it to dry cleaning before returning to Vil.
You came downstairs to find Sebek still on the couch, but he had already stripped off his tuxedo jacket and the button up underneath it. The soft light coming in from outside the windows was the only light in the room. The light hit softly on his back, just enough for you to make out the faint silhouette of it. “Here, Sebek, this is all I could find,” you said as you handed him the shirt in your hands. “Thank you,” he said as he turned his head to look at you. He pulled the shirt over his head. “It’s… a little tight, but it is not unbearable. Wearing it is only for tonight as well, it will do,” he said tugging at it to see how stretchy it was.
“I will go get you some blankets and stuff,” you said as you scurried to the hallway closet. You pulled out a few blankets and pillows for him to use for the night. Hopefully they would suffice, they were nothing in comparison to the nice, extravagant things he had at Diasomnia. You walked to the front side of the couch this time and handed them to him. His eyes locked with yours as he took them from you. In the low light, his eyes were almost reflective. “Thank you, Y/N,” he said, his gaze made you feel like there was something else he wanted to say. “I’ll see you in the morning, okay?” you said quietly. “Yes, in the morning,” he said before you walked away to go back upstairs.

Um, i don't wanna be annoying but i kinda wanna see the results of Sebek's letter.
Like, how does the MC take it? I'd avoid him and the diasomnia gang like the plague after that hsksbsksb (sorry Tsunotaro 😞😞)
personally, if someone affectionately compared me to a rat, i would marry them instantly 💀
Tumblr media
"Why haven't they replied to my love letter?"
"Sebek, you compared them to a rat. A wet one— wait, wait, not you Harold, sorry." Silver sighed. He feels like he might get an aneurysm anytime soon from Sebek's...exotic choice of words.
"But I followed Master Lilia's advice!"
"You followed it to the letter, now look at the outcome. You don't go around telling people they remind you of rats." Silver almost gave up. Almost.
"But they're not just a rat!"
You were a good rat.
Sebek hasn't heard from you for a few days after he sent that letter. Did he make a mistake somewhere along the way? Or were you merely taking your time to write a proper reply?
Either way, it made him anxious.
The fifth day of waiting patiently finally bore fruit. A simple letter arrived in Diasomnia, 'From MC, the Prefect of Ramshackle Dorm' it read.
Finally, he thought. His restless anticipation was finally quenched.
"Oh boy... er— good luck man," Silver offered him a pat on the back. Sebek didn't need it, mind you.
Dearly detested, Sebek,
Sebek, you atrociously affectionate man. You leather-for-brains, you intellectual numbskull. You absolute dimwit, buffoon, fool, and genius at the same time. Asshat and professional dragon kisser, if I may add.
You are an idiot, in more ways than one. But that is to be unpacked in another frame in time. For now, I am to give my response to your bittersweet praise.
"You can stop reading if you like," Silver tried to console his junior. "No, I can manage. This'll get better, I swear."
Insults aside, I am delighted to find you've taken a liking to me. For I too, feel the same way.
Your hair, the color of Weed, reminds me of the grass the horses eat. Your eyes, like moss on cobblestone, pulls me in like a vortex— so alluring and so welcoming. I could get lost in those lush irises for an eternity.
You have offered to be my knight, my sword and my shield. I believe in reciprocation, so I offer myself as well. I offer to be your pen and quill, to tell your woes. To spin prose and ballads of the journeys we are to take in the future.
I offer to be your wine and your bread, to quell your thirst and hunger. To be your lantern, your fire, your warmth to brave the darkest days. And I offer to be your stronghold and your shelter, your home.
Sebek Zigvolt, my knight in leather armor. I, your wet rat, wish to tell you. I love you.
"THEY LIKE ME TOO," Sebek almost leaped from joy, his cheeks dusted with a vibrant shade of pink.
"That was a real rollercoaster ride," Silver looked like he was having a headache.
"I agree, it was quite the sight to behold," Lilia chuckled, delighted that his advice managed to aid Sebek's quest for love. Even if it resulted in an unexpected of outcome.
