~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You sit nervously in a chair within the octavinelle dorm, ordered drink in hand, waiting for the dorm leader to present himself. Why are you here? You were simply wanting to catch up with the dorm leader after the blot incident.
The only problem is that you sit practically alone in a chair, the place buzzing around with whispers and chatters... Or at least you would be alone if Grim didn't persist in joining you.
"Fnyaaaa... Why the hell are you tryna get all buddy-buddy with this guy?! Didn't he almost drained the entire school???"
You try to reassure the monster that it would just be a small conversation, admitting you're a bit concerned of his well-being.
"Ha?... 'Concerned of his well-being'?... Hmph, sounds like a 'you' thing... Im only stickin' around 'cause I refuse to let my minion go by themselves in a sketchy place like this!"
You give a small smile as you pat his head, knowing Grim just cares about you. The monster, in turn, huffs with a pout as he lets you pet his head before swatting your hand moments later.
"Alright, that's enough!... Hmph..."
You give a small chuckle before footsteps can be heard.
"Ah, dear prefect... I was told you wanted to see me?"
You give a small nod to Azul, expressing that you've been wanting to know how he's been doing after what happened, if he's been taking care of himself and if he's still doing shady business.
The suave smile on his face is quickly replaced with an upset look.
"Tch... I don't need someone to baby me around, prefect, I'll have you know I'm doing just fine... If that's all you wanted to do, then you already have your answer and you're more than free to go, I don't have all the time in the world-"
Just before he can stand up to leave, you grab his sleeve and apologize for making him think that you were trying to 'baby' him and that you're just worried about his health.
He sighs "Prefect... While I appreciate your concern, I'm more than capable of taking care of myself..."
You nod in understanding but say that you care about him and want to be able to help him should anything bother him.
"... I understand that, but really, you don't need to start checking up on me like a parent..."
"Oi!" A certain monster chimed in. "You should be grateful they even bothered to make time for ya! Hmph, if it were up to me, we wouldn't be here sitting with you!"
Azul seemed a bit surprised at Grim's words.
"... Excuse me?"
"You heard me! They took the time to come see you and you're just acting ungrateful! They didn't have to come see you, but they did anyway!"
"Hm..." He pondered, a hand under his chin. "... Very well then, I suppose you've made your point..." Azul sits back down again, taking your hand into both of his. "I apologize for acting so crass with you, prefect..."
You accept his apology, saying that it's nothing to worry about. You can feel him loosen around your hands a bit, it's clear he still feels a little guilty.
"Yeah, I hope you feel bad! Tch, ungrateful..."
You lightly tap Grim with your free hand, apologizing once more.
"Oi-! Hmph..."
"No no, it's-" He sighs. "Nevermind that... So, how have you been so far, prefect? I'm more than open to any deals if you're having any trouble~" Azul lightly teased as he chuckles a bit.
You shake your head, saying that you're not interested in any deals. You mention that, although there's still things here you have yet to get used to, you've been enjoying your time here. Sometimes you wish that Ace, Deuce and Grim wouldn't get themselves in trouble, but at least it's never boring. He lets out an amused chuckle.
"Interesting... Perhaps it would be interesting to hear about what it was like in your world if it's nothing like here..."
You say that you're more than open to sharing it sometime, clarifying that you wont talk about your personal life.
"Hm, a bit of a shame, although it's most certainly better than nothing at all"
You give a warm smile, nodding in agreement as you take a sip of the drink you previously ordered.
"I do commend you for being able to do a... Decent job in this school despite coming from a completely different world, certainly better than... Other people..." Azul gives a quick glance at Grim before turning his attention back to you, but Grim seems to have noticed.
"... H-Hey! You better not be talkin' about me!"
You chuckle a bit, you seem to be loosening up more compared to before. You thank Azul for the compliment, but argue that Grim does a good job too.
"HA! Take that!" Grim confidently boasts, a smug look on his face.
"Yes, yes, he does good in some aspects I suppose..." Azul returns the smug look. "Like being a good dishcloth"
Grim's look is wiped away as he complains.
"Fnyaaaa... I hope I never have to do that again, it was torture...."
You say that he wont have to if he doesn't agree to whatever scheme Azul might have under his sleeve.
"None of my deals are a 'trick' of any sort, prefect" The dorm leader interjects.
You give him a look with a slow nod...
"What? It's not my fault if they cant think outside the box or read fine print, prefect."
You sigh as you gently put your other hand on top of one of his, holding it with a gentle squeeze. It's your turn to hold his hands now as you express that he can still make deals, just not to the point of hurting himself... You watch Azul's face go a bit pink at the gesture as his hand slowly holds yours back.
"... I know, prefect, I know..." He sighs. "You seem to really think a lot about the students here, don't you?..."
You pause, you haven't really thought about that as you unintentionally squeeze more.
"Now look what you did, you-!"
Azul shoves a piece of bread in Grim's mouth to silence him before turning back to you. "Now now, there's no need to fret, what I said isn't meant to be taken in a bad light and I apologize if it was..."
You shake your head, saying its not that...
"Oh? Then whatever is the matter?" He inquires, a look of curiosity in his eyes.
Your thoughts start to wander once more, unsure if you should tell him anything you're thinking... You decide to shake your head, saying its nothing. Azul seems a bit disappointed in the response...
"Hm... Whatever secrets your hiding, prefect, I will most certainly find out about them..."
You nervously chuckle a bit, again repeating it's nothing.
"Oh it's 'nothing' now, but you'll see." He teases, chuckling. "Although, if you're going to lie to my face, I suggest you make it not so obvious... I can always have Jade force it out of you, if you wish"
You're quick to shake your head.
"Then please do me a favor and dont try lying to my face like this again, understood?"
You sigh but nod.
"Good... Now then... Why exactly do you seem to have everyone in mind?..." He asks, that previous look of curiosity in his eyes returning.
... You just say that you're not really sure, that you just care about them all. He doesn't seem to impressed with this response, but he seems more willing to let it go as he sighs.
"If that's what you want your answer to be, then I suppose this is as far as I'm going to get... Although... Perhaps you just have more thoughts buzzing in that head of yours than you'd like to admit."
"Hey!" Grim intervenes, after eating the bread that previously kept him silent. "Quit saying weird things that makes my minion feel uncomfortable!"
Azul chuckles a bit with a smile.
"Apologies... Perhaps we can discuss your thoughts another time, after all, you mostly came for me..."
You sigh in relief at the change as you nod, saying you're glad he's been well, finishing what's left of your drink. Before Azul can utter another word, a familiar duo burst in.
"THERE YOU ARE! Geez, we gotta stay behind once and you both just disappear?" Yelled Ace.
"Prefect, Grim! Are you alright? Did something happen?" Asked Deuce.
You apologize, but explain that you were just concerned about Azul, trying to reassure them that nothing bad or serious happened.
"Hmph, it's pretty rude of you to assume that I'd put the prefect's life in danger for no reason..." Azul huffed.
"You were probably tryna get them to sign some sketchy deal or bring the twins to do your bidding... C'mon prefect, let's get the hell out of here." Remarked Ace.
Azul sighs, unamused at Ace's statements... He then turns his attention to you with a smile.
"Well, prefect, I look forward to our next meeting... Perhaps you can let me in on some of the secrets in that little head of yours." Azul chuckles before bringing your hand to his lips, giving it a small kiss. You can feel your face turn red as both Ace and Deuce try to drag you away from him.
"O-OI! You cant just do that type of stuff to the prefect!" Deuce exclaimed.
"Yeah! What the hell's wrong with you?!" Ace chimed in.
As they both rush you out, you can see Azul giving you a smile as he waves you farewell.
