Ink Dandelions
Ruggie agrees to what he thinks is just a fun outing with Yuu before everyone comes back from break and vies for their attention, but as he should expect when it comes to them, things end up more complicated than he bargained for.
TW: Tattoos and getting tattoos, mention of past trauma, mention of past violence, mention of scars, mention of nightmares, mention of asphyxiation/snakebites, mention of intentional violence, possessive thoughts.
A/N: MONTHS. THIS TOOK MONTHS TO WRITE. I really really really wanted to write this concept, I really really really wanted Ruggie to have his time to shine, to show it's not just the OB boys and Housewardens who are affected by this Yuu, but COHESIVENESS man gets me everytime :'(
"Where are we going exactly? Because I remember something about donuts, and this is not the way to the donut stall."
"I know, and I will get you those donuts, but after my appointment. This place doesn't allow any food or drink, besides water, for the clients."
"So explain to me why exactly I had to be the one to come with you then? Don't you have your pet cat and that card duo to drag along on your errands? I already gotta play errand boy for Leona, what's in it for me?"
There's a way Yuu will look at people, this intense look in their eye that he's never been able to quite pin down before. They're not looking through you, it's different than the way somebody like Floyd or Riddle might look at you, like you're not even there. And Yuu's stare isn't invasive either, not intentionally at least, no Ruggie is well aware of what that looks and feels like. There are too many guys at NRC that have perfected that calculating, dissecting gaze of looking into you, of being able to find your every flaw with just a heavy look. (He sees it enough on his own Dormleader's face.)
Yuu levels him with their unique, flustering, soul-searching look right there on the street corner. They're quiet as they wait for the signal that it's safe for them to cross, seemingly giving his sarcastic question some serious thought. It makes him squirm, makes his skin itch in an unfamiliar way, makes his ears flick and his tail twitch and it's not unpleasant, particularly, but it's different and he's about to say something taunting and probably rude just to get the Prefect to stop looking at him like that and -
Suddenly they're wrapping their hand around his own, gentle but firm as they finally turn away and tug him across the intersection. He thinks they're just going to ignore his earlier jabs, and that's fine, there was nothing serious behind them in the first place. Leona hasn't come back from break yet, and Ruggie had just returned yesterday, so as long as they held true to their promise of sugary delights, the hyena really didn't have any other plans today.
"I think you're the only one in all of NRC who will actually understand why I have this appointment. And if you decide you want it too, then I'm more than happy to pay for yours." They aren't looking at him, eyeing a nondescript storefront that they are determinedly dragging him towards. But their voice is somber, serious in a way he's really only heard inside the confines of the school infirmary. It makes him reach for his elbow, fingers tracing the scar he tried very hard to hide from his family over the break.
They catch the movement, he knows they do. But instead of commenting, they push inside the shop, letting him go once he's passed the threshold so they can approach the person at the reception desk. And Ruggie is left standing there, thinking to himself that this must be what whiplash feels like, because the stark difference between slipping into a slow spiral of complicated memories and baffled bewilderment is absolutely wild.
This is not where he thought the Ramshackle Prefect would be taking him today.
The tattoo shop is warm and cozy, surprisingly enough. Almost every inch of the waiting area up front is covered in tattoo designs. There's art in every different style known to man. From small, modern, simple designs to some massive traditional pieces he'd see back in the slums of the Sunset Savanah to everything in between from every corner of Twisted Wonderland. Ruggie is pulled back from his admiration for the art by the conversation brewing between the Prefect and the tattoo artist leading them to the back, Yuu waving at him to follow along.
"This is gonna be the last one right? I shouldn't have to see you in here again after we finish up this piece, correct?"
"Wow, okay, I see how it is, already sick of me huh?"
"Nah, of course not, you're one of my favorite customers. Some of my favorite art to walk out that door too. But considering exactly why you've enlisted my services, yeah, I want this to be the last one."
Ruggie feels like he's having an out-of-body experience. Sure, he can still feel the shop around him, too many predator instincts ingrained in his DNA to truly lose all his faculties. But as the artist and Yuu keep talking in that weirdly professionally intimate way, he feels his mouth go dry and his limbs lock up. And as Yuu takes off their overly thick turtleneck, revealing the tank underneath, it feels as if the world slows down to a syrupy crawl, like his head is dipped underwater and the only thing solid and real in this new world of his is the expanse of the Prefect's skin that he's now faced with.
Ruggie was there for Azul's Overblot. True he passed out before the fight had ended, but he dimly remembers seeing the cephalopod's tentacles wrap around Yuu's neck and squeeze. (He wakes up in cold sweats some mornings, trying to gulp down as much oxygen as possible when his nightmares decide to play around with that particularly traumatizing experience.) So there's a part of him that flinches, hard, when he sees the tentacles that are inked into the Prefect's skin. They wrap around their neck the same way the Octavinille's housewarden did, although these ones are more stylized than the real thing, purples and lilacs and oil-slick blacks creating a haunting effect on their skin. The suckers look a little more raised than the rest of the artwork, but otherwise, it's a gorgeous piece of work. Makes him less nauseous to see that than the old, awful bruising that used to decorate Yuu's collarbone.
It's the piece of artwork on their right shoulder that cause a ball of anxiety to develop in Ruggie's chest. Sure, the stark reminder of that day in Octavinille isn't exactly pleasant, and seeing the pottery-crack scar on their left shoulder always fills Ruggie with a complicated concoction of emotions, but he knows about those events, he was there for them. He'd seen the damage firsthand for both, helped them with their bandages for both occasions, shared one of those scars with them. But if they are getting tattoos as reminders of the events that left them scarred so far this year, which Ruggie is inclined to believe is the case as he watches the artist prep the area surrounding Leona's mark, then what happened to them over the winter break?
Slithering up the Prefect's right shoulderblade is the tail of a snake, burnt oranges and blood reds and coopery bronze scales climb the snake in an almost hypnotic pattern. They turn, and he can see that the head of the snake rests on the front of their shoulder, fangs poised over two holes just to the right of where their collarbone meets the shoulder. Its hood is flared, and the cobra's garnet-red eyes seem to follow you, daring people to come close lest its fangs end up embedded in them. It's an incredibly detailed and realistic piece, the snake leaving shadows along Yuu's skin and the fangs actually looking like they've... pierced... skin...
"Did you get bitten by a snake??!!"
"Yes, and?"
"What do you mean 'and?'?? When? Why? How?"
And as the Prefect settles down in the chair, they tell him.
-------
Ruggie has spent the past hour in silence, processing everything Yuu told him, watching their newest tattoo bloom to life on their skin, trying to force the nausea to leave his system. At first, he thought Yuu's near-death experience was his main cause of discomfort, and don't get him wrong, it did bother him. Incredibly so.
But the longer they sat there under the tattoo gun, the pissier he became.
It's not like this new tattoo was ugly or anything. In fact, it was gorgeous, something that would make him salivate in any other situation. It was done in the traditional Sunset Savanna style, harsh lines and bold swirls, matte black lines creating an intricate design across their left shoulder. He spent the past hour watching the cracked, jagged lines of Leona's scar disappear beneath a complicated geometric pattern. When he realizes they've replaced the mark of a lion with a massive inked lion head, something in him snarls.
"It's a reminder, not a claim."
"... I don't know why you think you need to explain. 'Aint got nothin' to do with me."
"It's a reminder. It's a reminder I choose, something I have control over. There's no magic in existence that can heal the scars left behind from an Overblot, these are scars I'm stuck with for the rest of my life and I had no choice in it. These are my choice. And I chose to swap the scar tissue for a lion so nobody, especially the person who hurt me could forget it."
Well, now Ruggie feels bad. A little. He gets it, probably the only person on campus who can get it, but that doesn't quell the possessive urge inside of him that's furious with the Prefect for doing... something. He's not quite sure what exactly about this whole situation that's got him so upset.
He grabs his elbow, as the artist paints glimmering gold for the lion's facial features, stuck in his own messy, complicated feelings from that messy, complicated day. Leona is one of his closest relationships, a weird mess of a balance between friend and servant, equal and lesser. Their relationship has always been about mutual benefits, symbiotic always, platonic sometimes. And Ruggie can’t even look at his arm because it reminds him that there was a moment, before Leona Overblotted, before you can write it all off as something done under magical insanity, a moment where Leona actively tried to hurt him, actively and intentionally tried to maim him. And Ruggie is still bitter about it, still brings it up occasionally to inflict some of the complicated hurt on Leona that he still feels, but Ruggie is also exhausted and tired and wants to move on.
He looks up and Yuu has him pinned with that pleasantly infuriating look again, like they can read every thought he's currently having and every thought he's ever had and every thought he could have in the future. And it makes him feel so incredibly seen, but right now while he's drowning in such an emotional internal shit show, he wants nothing more than for them to stop looking at him. He's too vulnerable like this, too on the edge, too irrationally mad.
"I think you should get a coverup tattoo."
"I think you're projecting your emotional bullshit."
....
"What would I even get, huh? No way in hell I'm getting a matching tat."
"I think you should get a Dandelion."
....
"I don’t know, I just don’t feel like you should let Leona have such a physical claim over you. Like, turn this thing that he did to you, this mark he gave you, and make it into something that’s yours. Your flower, your mark, your body, you know?"
And it's not a bad idea, not at all, but it does nothing to satisfy the feral thing that's been pacing in his chest, snarling and chomping at the bit during this whole stupid endeavor.
"Besides, we can say we've got matching flower tattoos!"
If anyone ever doubted Ruggie's predatory status, they should've seen the way he fucking locked onto the Prefect's newly revealed thigh. He was so intently taking in the vine of roses circling their left leg, a constricting band of blood red and bone white roses, vivid green leaves and night black thorns, so intent was he that he almost missed how his disquiet had quieted, calmed and placated.
Oh. Oh, that's what was bothering him.
Because he’d been watching the tattoo come to life and a part of him had died a little inside with every stroke of ink but he couldn’t figure out why. But it turns out he’d always thought of the scar as a sorta good thing, a little bit, in the very back of his head. Because Yuu had the same scar, and it tied them together. And when Yuu erased their scar (for very valid reasons he knows this) they erased the connection they shared with him. Erased their connection and replaced it with something connecting them to Leona of all people.
But instead, he can now have this with them, something they both choose to happen to them. In this cozy, tucked-away store on the far side of town, they can have this tie, and Ruggie really, really likes that idea.

Leona....your dorm members are being mean they gave me a black eye and kicked me really hard in the stomach..it hurts
Leona sat up from his bed, eyes widened and anger evident on his face.
"What..?!" He almost yelled out before taking notice to the marks starting to bruise on the herbivore's form.
He clenched his fist before sighing, envolping them in a hug.
"I'll get Ruggie in here to take care of you, alright? Just telll me which of those runts decided to do this to you, and I'll take care of their asses, got that?"

Savanaclaw
Leona
He was at spell drive practice while you where in his room waiting for him to come back, you where siting on his bed doing school work taking a small break and stretching you flop down on his bed and looking at the ceiling... 🕷... *Insert blank stare* it moves, you jump and scream falling off the bed your school work forgotten as you back yourself into a corner still sitting on the floor as you stare up at the spider teary eyed. Leona walking back to his room frustrated from practice and just wanting to take a nap he hears your scream as he walks down the hall then a thud he immediately run to his room throwing the door open only to see you in the corner of his room and his bed a mess "what the hell happened?" Pointing up at the spider he's sighs rubbing the back of his neck, he grabs one of his shoes he gets the spider to move on the wall and he kills it mumbling about "your lucky I love you" under his breath you stand up and he grabs your waist and pulls you in bed with him "don't you think it's only fair to be my pillow after I helped you?" You end up napping together. Rip your school work
Ruggie
That evneing he was off running around doing tasks for leona and what not you wanted to do something nice so you got him some doughnuts. you where waiting in his room and thought maybe you should clean alittle picking up laundry and trash nothing to big like moving his stuff around but you moved the laundry basket to the side and boom the loudest scream could be heard coming from ruggies room, you jumped on the bed falling over in the process but quickly got up a spider could be seen crawling away from where you where standing 0.5 seconds ago and climbing up the wall watching it the entire time as your eyes got teary. Ruggie was on his way back to his room happy to see you after a long day a cheary smile on his face till there was a loud scream from down the hall in his room. His ears straightened and he started sprinting to his room opening the door he see you standing on his bed "what happened? Are you okay?" Very much confused and concerned the boy started at you, lifting your arm up and pointing to the wall you looked at him with tears forming in your eyes. Looking where you where pointing he sighed "your going to have a hard time back home.." mumbling under his breath he took his shoe off and killed the spider. looking back at you he walked over and started teasing you till he smelt doughnuts "got something for me?" His voice very playful seeming to be calm now you reach in your bag and hand him a box of doughnuts.
Jack
Out for his morning run you of course still in bed because I'm not getting up at the ass crack of dawn to go running anyway you stayed the night at his dorm and where just waking up did your morning stuff Yada Yada then you decided to check out Jack's cacti. Examining them and looking at the ones starting to sprout flowers, you turned one of the pots to see one of the sprouting flowers and almost dropped the pot you placed it down and backed away immediately a brown garden spider crawled away and into another pot. You where leaned up against his bed and almost stared crying, jack opened the door to his room surprised to see you still here you look up at him and he sees youe teary eyes "what happened?" You explained theres a spider in his cacti pots and he sighed "you mean the garden spider? Was it brown?" You nod your head "oh they actually help the plants they eat other bugs and stuff but I can take it outside if it bothers you" you can see his tail wagging slightly he grabs an empty water cup from his desk side and a piece of paper caught the spider and took it outside after he comes back he takes a shower then if you ask about it he'll explain more about cactus facts with spiders and bugs! Sweet boi!

WOAHHHH!!!!! Omg I can totally see the wholesome potential in Ruggie x Lil Schoenheit?! If you kind of think about it... their differences are rather cute. Ruggie is more outgoing whilst Lil Schoenheit seems to be more reserved despite being exposed to the spotlight at such a young age. Following this line of thought, Ruggie can help bring Lil Schoenheit out of their shell, make them feel more comfortable by telling jokes or just messing around. And despite Ruggie's scheming exterior, he can actually be pretty soft (to his grandmother, the kids from his neighborhood, Leona, Jack, and so on). Lil Schoenheit would definitely love putting dandelions in his hair 🥺💖. They'd make Ruggie look cuter! In a way that doesn't diminish his unique charm and adorable Ruggie-ness. Soooooooooo... To ease my brainrot, may I request a scenario for these two? Creative Liberty is yours to take hold of!
you couldn't help but press chaste kisses against ruggie's face. it was a want, no, a need. combine the sense of euphoria that rushed through your system with the loud laughs coming from your boyfried, oh you were smitten.
this was how your dates at pomefiore typically ended. you just couldn't stop yourself! you always loved having your dates at your dorm. it was always worth it seeing ruggie's face light up at all of the fancy decor, from the banners on the walls to the pristine porcelain tea cups.
you always urged ruggie to let you "doll" him up, as he liked to describe it. sure, you weren't as into makeup as your older brother was, but it was nice to just pamper your boyfriend who deserved nothing but the world.
the one thing you did that you were sure separated you from your brother was the little dandelions you would stick into ruggie's hair.
"my perfect little hyena," you would coo, pressing a kiss to ruggie's temple. he would try to hide his face in your neck, letting out little huffs and grumbles about "not wanting to be babied", but the little upward tilt of his ears told you otherwise.
he truly did live up to rook's nickname, didn't he? but, at the end of the day, he was your little dandelion.

Hello! Could you please write some ploy Yandere Ruggie x reader x Leona?
Haven't written anything for Twisted Wonderland so this was a nice change of pace. <3 Sorry it's so short though, I'm a little tired!
❝ - pay no attention to the lies they try to feed you, it's a wicked, twisted fable, he's not stable. ❞
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sharing with these two is a ride. There are days when they work seamlessly with each other, perfectly filling a role the other cannot while also making up for their own dumb mistakes and fuck ups. Leona is often the more dominating one in the relationship ie. his word is always the final one. If he's in a good mood he might take Ruggie's feelings into the equation but there are no promises, not if he's not blackmailed that is.
These two chuckleheads falling for the same person really isn't all that impossible to achieve actually so there's a solid chance that they'll be onto each other and they end up deciding to work together because it's just less trouble that way. They've caused mischief and mayhem in the past, what's to say they won't push that bar even higher?
As good of a team they are it really is impossible to deny that both of them have a mean and possessive streak and it's hard to tell who's the worst one, your opinion changes on the daily.
Leona has very specific demands and rules he expects you to follow and doesn't really care about your personal space, prompting to leave little love bites and scratches all over your body. His scent also lingers on your body 24/7, a dangerous sign to anyone if they get any funny ideas.
Ruggie actually does care a little about your feelings, kinda... He does have that give and take mentality though. If he takes care of you, he expects the same treatment back. If Leona is mean to you and he sticks his neck out for you he kinda expects you to be a bit more appreciative of him and his advances. He's also aware that Leona scents you like crazy but that doesn't stop him from trying to do the same either. He's uncomfortable in admitting that he feels jealous of him and fears you prefer Leona due to his money and status.
ALSO, say goodbye to your personal life, like, for good. Friends? What friends, there will be none of that. Stick close to them, follow the rules and behave.
That's all you have to do.
... that doesn't mean they won't go out of their way to make this more difficult than it should be though.

Ruggie Bucchi: An Attempt Was Made

Ruggie Bucchi: Attempts Were Made
You weren’t sure if he was just that dense, or perhaps he just didn’t like you. Your slight annoyance and anxiety towards the man always seemed to grow as the days passed, and you never knew what to do about it. You liked him, you assumed he liked you back, if the blush that always painted his cheeks was anything to go by. The biggest issue was he simply always ran off before you ever had an opportunity to confess to him.
Your mind began replaying all your previous attempts as you sat on the couch at ramshackle, wondering what you had done wrong.
Attempt 1: The Donut Shop
The first attempt had been simple, it was the weekend and, as Crowley had no authority over you with how much blackmail you had on him, he allowed you off campus whenever you wanted. A small perk for helping him all the time doing his finances as an unpaid secretary. You had dragged Ruggie out of his dorm early in the morning, the man still half asleep as he complained about needing to wake up Leona if he wanted to get paid later, but you assured him he’d be fine for an hour or two. The angry lion cub probably wanted to sleep in more anyway since he had nothing else to do.
“Come on Ruggie, we gotta go!” You said, leaving the gates of the school. Ruggie was still half asleep and in sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. His unruly hair was somehow worse than normal as he didn’t have time to do anything. In his defense, you did kind of break into his dorm and drag him out against his will at six in the morning.
“Where are we even going?” Ruggie said, stifling a yawn as you continued dragging him by his hand. He was slowly waking up and realized that you two had already left the front gates of the school, but he couldn’t be damned to care. He doubted Crowley would get onto him about it since you were there with him.
“Somewhere special…but we gotta go early or else it won’t be as good.” You explained before hearing a familiar voice. Your name was carried on the wind and you turned around, seeing both Jack and Vil on a morning run together. An odd pair for sure, but nothing too crazy.
“Oh, morning guys!” You said, noticing it was Jack that called out to you.
“Where are you guys going? You know you’re not supposed to leave campus unless you have permission from the dorm head.” Jack said and you snorted.
“I am the dorm head…and Crowley is fine with it.” You explained as you squeezed Ruggie’s hand a bit tighter.
“Ah…” Jack noticed you were holding onto Ruggie’s hand and raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have something on his mind, but opted to not comment on it.
“Be safe, and remember don’t cause any trouble outside campus.” Vil said, crossing his arms as he came to the same conclusion.
“I promise, we won’t!” You said and waved them off. Ruggie grumbled something as you two made your way to town. The morning air was crisp as you walked through the normally crowded streets. It was so quiet at the moment that it felt like it was just the two of you there, which made your heart speed up.
Then you saw it, the little bakery you were wanting to show Ruggie. You walked in, being greeted with the sweet smell of freshly made donuts and breads. Your mouth was already watering at the thought of getting to snack on something this early. It was all made in the morning, typically they got there around three in the morning to have everything set up.
The owner greeted you two and Ruggie was finally waking up. His eyes widened as he realized what was going on, and a large, dopey grin spread on his face. You swore you could see him drooling a bit as started walking closer before noticing something. He looked down between you two and finally, in his now awakened state, realized you had been holding hands the entire time.
“Ah!” He said, taking his hand back and holding it to his chest, a blush creeping onto his cheeks, “What was that for?” He said and you smiled.
“Good, you finally noticed, Rugs. Now come on, let’s get some breakfast.” You said, walking over to the counter. Ruggie looked over the confections and then the price tags. He shuddered at the price and looked over at you.
“So uh…you payin’?” He asked, knowing he didn’t have his wallet on him.
“Obviously.” You said, showing him your wallet, “Order whatever you want.” You said and he did just that, ordering about ten things at once so he’d have some stuff to take back with him at the dorm. You smiled at how excited he looked, his tail wagging as he finished making his order. You placed your own and went to pay, then grabbed everything in the bags.
“Want to eat here, or back at my dorm?” You asked and Ruggie hummed.
“Here, definitely here.” He said, not wanting anyone in his dorm to smell what he had and try to take it from him. You two sat in one of the booths, opening up the bags and taking out the donuts. You were happily swinging your feet and taking a bite of your own favorite kind, and turned to see Ruggie throwing a donut hole up and catching it in his mouth.
“This is the best morning ever!” Ruggie said, savoring the sweet treat.
“Glad you think so…” You said, your heart now speeding up a bit as you realized you’d have to bring it up soon. “Hey Ruggie…I have something important to tell you.” You knew by now your cheeks were warming up.
“Wha isf it?” Ruggie said, chewing on his donut as he spoke. He had some crumbs on his face already and you laughed, grabbing one of the napkins next to you and leaning forward to wipe his mouth clean. Ruggie backed up a bit, his ears flattening and cheeks turning red at the gesture.
“I wanted to tell you that I-” You were soon cut off by a vibration sound. Ruggie, in his dazed state, managed to grab his phone somehow. Ruggie growled under his breath as he grabbed it and once again, his ears flattened but this time out of fear. You could see Leona’s caller ID on the screen. The internal debate that Ruggie faced as he debating if he was going to answer it or not played out.
“You can answer it.” You said and Ruggie breathed out a sigh of relief. He quickly answered his phone before it got to voicemail. You couldn’t hear exactly what was going on, but from how annoyed he looked, you could figure.
“Ya…I’ll be back in a few.” Ruggie said before hanging up.
“I uh…forgot to set out clothes for Leona.” Ruggie murmured, looking at you. You covered your mouth, thinking about how reliant Leona was on Ruggie. The lazy cat didn’t even want to grab his own clothes, and the thought of how spoilt he was crossed your mind. You knew he was capable of taking care of himself, but he simply didn’t want to.
“I see…” You said, about to ask if he’d stay a bit longer. Before you could even ask, you watched him grab his donuts and get up.
“I’ll catch up with you later, ya?” He said, already heading to the door. You frowned, realizing the confession wasn’t going to happen this time. You pouted slightly but just nodded, accepting your fate.
“Ya…see you later.”
Attempt 2: The Hang Out
Ruggie collapsed onto the old couch of your dorm, groaning as he rubbed his forehead. He had a killer headache from all the demands of the day and was happy to finally have a moment of peace. You chuckled, sitting down next to him, right by his feet. He laid on his back, staring at the ceiling with the scratchy pillow underneath him.
“You good?” You asked with a teasing smile. Ruggie groaned in response, sitting up and looking at you. You placed the two drinks you had in your hands down onto the coffee table in front of you before relaxing into the couch.
“Absolutely not.” Ruggie said, “Wanna know what Leona did earlier today?” He asked and you smiled, leaning in closer.
“Obviously. Give me the deets, I’m dying to know.” You said and Ruggie smirked, his tail wagging slightly behind him.
“So get this, he didn’t do his homework…again. It was a huge project too, it was for alchemy class.” Ruggie started and you hummed, listening intently. “He needed me to go to the gardens and get him a few things, which is no problem, right?”
“Okay, sounds like typical Leona.” You said, smirking as you had a hunch as to what was going on next.
“Well then I get the things and bring them back, but when I show him, he doesn’t even look at them.” Ruggie began, “He then tells me I got the wrong flower and needed to go back.” As demanding as ever it seemed.
“How’d he even notice?” You asked and Ruggie huffed.
“Apparently he could tell by the smell. I swear, how can he be that good at knowing what it is by smell? And if he didn’t like how I did it, then why didn’t he do it himself?” Ruggie said, crossing his arms in frustration.
“What an ass…but I mean…did you learn the difference?” You asked and Ruggie pouted, ears flattened as he nodded.
“Well I kinda had to.” Ruggie said and you snorted.
“What plant was it that he needed anyway?” You finally asked and Ruggie pouted.
“Sunchoke.” He said, “Apparently I grabbed ginger instead.” He said and this made you pause. You might not have been in the same year as Ruggie, but the class notes were always on the board when you walked into Crewel’s class.
“Isn’t that gonna be on your identifying test next week for Crewel’s class?” You asked and Ruggie paused as his mind buffered.
“Oh…I think?” He said and now you were amused with Leona. Of course that’s why he got Ruggie to do it. The grumpy lion might’ve been an asshole most of the time, but he couldn’t have Ruggie failing class since they meant intermediate lessons.
“So he helped you?” You prodded and Ruggie groaned. His tail whips behind him in agitation so much that you watch it whack the two cups down. Thankfully they just roll onto the coffee table, the tea inside of them spilling everywhere on the table. Ruggie gasped, not realizing they had been that close.
“Shit, sorry.” He said as he noticed you getting up, “Wait, hold up.” He stopped you and took off his scarf and tossed it to the table. He began cleaning it up and you frowned, looking at him.
“You know we have towels here, you didn’t have to get your clothes all dirty.” You commented, watching as he put the glasses back into the upright position. He just shrugged and left his scarf there.
“It’s whatever, it was my fault anyway…besides it needed to be cleaned.” He said, shooting you a smirk, “You wouldn’t mind doing it for me, right?”  His shit eating grin only spread.
“Of course!” You said with a chipper tone to your voice. Ruggie’s smirk turned into a frown as he blinked owlishly at you.
“Wait uh, I didn’t actually mean that.” He said but you were already shaking your head.
“Nah, I’ll do it. Let me be nice to you, Ruggie.” You (insisted?) said, grabbing the scarf and getting up. As soon as you stood up the front door burst open. You jump a bit in response, looking over to see Grim walking through.
“Henchman!” Grim yelled out, “Do we have snacks?” you heard chattering behind him and noticed Deuce and Ace coming behind him.
“I’m starving!” Ace chimed behind him and you heard Deuce groan at their rude antics.
“You know, it doesn't hurt to say please every once in a while.” Deuce commented and all three finally could see you and Ruggie in the living room. You were holding Ruggie’s scarf as the hyena was sprawled out on the couch again.
You watched the lightbulb go off for Ace as he gave you a sly grin. You were about to say something when Grim pipped up.
“Oh, I didn’t know you had your boyfriend over.” Grim teased, knowing about your affections towards the hyena. You blushed and narrowed your eyes at him. You had told him you were bringing Ruggie over to confess. Ruggie heard Grim’s comment and jumped up and off the couch.
“Ah, I should probably head out. Thanks for the tea.” Ruggie said, already scurrying out of the dorm. Grim chuckled and you groaned, falling back onto the couch.
“What was that all about?” Deuce asked, a bit hesitant. You glowered at the trio and Ace’s smirk never faltered.
“Were you trying to…?” Ace trailed off.
“Yes I was trying to!” You said, storming off to go wash Ruggie’s scarf. The trio just looked over at one another in confusion.
“Aren’t they already dating though?” Deuce asked and Ace snorted, “Jack mentioned they went out last weekend.”
“Uh…sure. Ya, that was definitely something a happy couple would do.” Ace said and Deuce frowned.
“So they…aren’t?” Deuce asked and Grim chuckled.
“If my henchman can ever keep him in a room long enough to confess, then maybe.” Grim commented and it dawned on Deuce that he ruined your attempt.
“Keep is a secret though, pretty sure the prefect will string us up if we say anything.” Ace said, knowing damn well you’d get Riddle to help you as well.
“Noted.” Deuce agreed.
Attempt 3: Lunch Time
You sat down right next to Ruggie, watching the hyena sneeze a bit and scrunch up his nose, “You good?” You asked, setting your tray next to his.
“Ya, it’s just getting cold at the dorm when night comes. Open walls sucks during this time of year.” He commented and you hummed. It was getting a bit cold at night over at Savanaclaw, but the days were still nice and warm, almost making you want to go sunbathing.
“I think my dorm has a few spare blankets if you want me to bring some over later.” You said and Ruggie perked up, his tail swishing behind him as he snickered.
“Awe, you getting soft on me?” He teased and you smiled.
“Aren’t I always?” You commented, making him stop and blush. He cleared his throat as he went to take a bite of his food.
“What’s up anyway? Aren’t you normally sitting with dumb, dumber, and dumbass?” He said, referring to Ace, Deuce, and Grim. You smirked at the nickname, knowing it was true. How you managed to function with your three dumbasses on a daily basis was a wonder to everyone at the school. Even Riddle took pity sometimes and offered to collar them when they were being especially rambunctious around you.
“They all got detention, besides, is it so bad if I wanted to sit with you on my lunch break?” You asked, grabbing a roll off your plate and handing it to him. Ruggie smoked as he took the roll and bit into it.
“If you keep feeding me, then I don’t see a problem.” Ruggie said after swallowing the mouthful. You smiled as you relaxed next to him, leaning close enough that your shoulders barely brushed next to one another.
“I mean I can always make you food whenever you want if you wanna-” Before you finished the thought you heard a booming voice next to you.
“Ah, human!” Sebek said, putting his tray in front of you, “I have questions for you!” He sat down and you looked around. You could see a half-asleep Silver placing his tray next to Sebek’s and you frowned.
“Can it…wait?” You asked and Sebek frowned.
“Of course not!” Sebek said, “I wouldn’t be here if it could!” Ruggie went to cover his ears and growled in annoyance at the man. Sebek was always so damn loud, and while you didn’t mind, you knew others did.
“Sebek, volume.” Silver said gently, going to take a bite out of his soup.
“Ah, my apologies.” He said and you turned to Ruggie.
“I still gotta ask you something.” You said and Ruggie groaned.
“Ya, but later. I’m outta here.” Ruggie said, looking over at Sebek with a glare. Ruggie got up and scurried off before you could even ask him to stay for just a bit longer. Once he was gone you turned to glare at Sebek.
“What. Do. You. Want?” You were seething at the third failed attempt as Ruggie disappeared. Sebek stopped and returned your glare, but before he could even say anything, another tray was placed next to you.
“Ah young love, what a troublesome yet beautiful thing.” Lilia said, sitting next to you, “I recall my first time being in love. It was so long ago.” he seemed to be reminiscing. 
“Young love?” Sebek asked, confused as he turned to you and then to where Ruggie had run off to. 
“You interrupted their date.” Silver commented and Sebek frowned, “Don’t you know they’re going out…even I know that.” He murmured the last bit to himself. Sebek froze and then went a bit red in the face at realizing what happened.
“My apologies, human!” Sebek said, “But this is important!” He commented and you just sighed.
“Sebek, dear, you did just cockblock them. I think you should ask this question later.” Lilia said, noticing how you clenched at your fork and knife. He wasn’t sure if you’d stab Sebek or yourself if he asked whatever question he wanted.
“It’s urgent!” Sebek said and you groaned.
“Spill it, croc.” You groaned and Sebek shot a glare before realizing he needed to play slightly nicer.
“I need to know Lord Malleus’s favorite gargoyle on campus, and it’s come to my attention that you would know it.” He said.
Thankfully both Silver and Lilia had fast enough reflexes to catch the knife and fork you threw at the crocodile. Sebek didn’t even get a chance to yell at you as you stormed off and out of the cafeteria, noticing how some students were looking at you guys.
“Oh so feisty…really does remind me of my first love. Including the murder attempt.” Lilia mused.
Attempt 4: Oasis
“This water is warmer than outside.” You said, leaning on the edge of the mini oasis in Savanaclaw’s dorm. Ruggie snickers relaxing in the water with you. He had won over in being a bad influence so you two were currently ditching class to relax in the water together. All the other dorm members were gone, so it was just the two of you.
“That’s why I like it so much. The sun hits it just right to make it warm.” Ruggie said, sighing as he relaxed in it. It was odd swimming with him, and you had to convince yourself not to stare at his bare torso. He was skinny and lanky, but he had some slight lean muscle on him from all the running around he did. Overall he was a cutie and you adored him.
“Can we do this like…every day from now on?” You asked and Ruggie snickered again, the noise ringing out delightfully in your ears. You could listen to it every single day if you could, and you hoped maybe one day you would get the opportunity.
“Ditching class every day? You? A prefect?” He asked and you rolled your eyes before splashing him with some water. He sputtered as the water got into his face and he quickly shook his head, splashing you. You laughed as you splashed him again.
Ruggie seemed to have an idea as he went underwater for a moment and caught you off guard. You felt his arms around your hips, making you gasp in surprise as he lifted you up and out of the water. How he had the strength for that, you didn’t know. You looked at him with wide eyes as he stood up in the water.
You made eye contact and he realized in that moment what he had done. He still went through with his plan as he tossed you into the deeper end. You let out a yelp in a pitch higher than you’d willingly confess as you went under the water. You emerged, coughing up water and shaking your head, your hair now completely soaked. 
He swam up to you and laughed at your shocked face, noting how you looked, “You remind me of a wet lion.” He commented and you groaned before swimming behind him and hopping on his shoulders. He screamed as your weight made him sink under the water this time.
“Whatever, asshole.” You said, letting up enough for him to get out. He turned to you and stuck out his tongue, making you blush. Damn, you really were down bad for him, even when he was being a brat.
“Hey…Ruggie…” You began then you heard another voice.
“Oi, Ruggie.” It was Leona who came into the common room of the dorm. He looked tired and annoyed, his tail swaying behind him angrily, “Can you two keep it down for five minutes?” He growled out and you shot him a glare.
“Well excuse me, princess.” You said, laughing at your own inside joke. Leona glared before turning back towards Ruggie.
“It’s almost lunch time.” Leona said and Ruggie perked up at hearing. You looked between the two before realizing what was about to happen.
“W-wait!” You said, catching the attention of both. You felt your face heating up at noticing if you confessed now, it would be in front of Leona…something you really didn’t want.
“Hm…did you wanna go in line with me to grab his lunch or something?” Ruggie said and leaned closer to whisper, “We can use his money to get us something too.” He commented and Leona growled.
“I heard that. Get your ass out of the water already.” Leona said and Ruggie sighed.
“Fine, fine. I gotta go I guess.” Ruggie said, hopping out of the water. He shook himself to get rid of the excess water and grabbed one of the two towels he had out for you and began drying himself off.  
“Catch you later, ya?” he said and you huffed, watching him leave. Leona walked over to you, bending down to the water’s edge and smirking.
“Something wrong, cub?” He asked, “You look like a drowned cat.” He noted how your hair was plastered to your scalp. You paused for a moment, glaring at Leona before deciding to do your next action without thought of the consequences.
You grabbed his arm and dragged him into the water, an action he didn’t expect as he lost balance and fell inside with a splash. He emerged and shook his hair, growling at you.
“Who’s the wet cat now, asshole.” You murmured, getting out of the water and going to your towel. You then noticed something sitting on top of it, a small, shiny rock. You picked it up and looked it over, noting that it wasn’t some expensive gem, but there was no plausible reason for it to be there.
Leona had gotten out of the water as well, still grumpy as he looked at what you were holding.
“He got you a rock, congrats.” Leona said and you paused, realizing Ruggie had left it for you. You smiled and held it up to your chest.
“Leona?” You asked, in a sweet and gentle voice. Leona hummed, grabbing your towel to dry himself off.
“What?” He spat out, still annoyed that you got him wet.
“Next time you interrupt us, I’m drowning you.” You said, before turning on your heels to go back to your dorm, leaving a wet trail behind you.
Attempt 5: Dinner For Two
“I’m almost done!” You called out to Ruggie as you were putting the final touches on dinner. You had managed to convince Grim to be out of the dorm while you did this, and the ghosts knew that they weren’t allowed to be around at this moment, unless they wanted to die a second time.
You had pulled out all the stops for this, inviting him over to dinner was the perfect time to confess. He loved food, after all, and home cooked meals were always the best. You had even worked at the Mostro Lounge for a week in order to convince the Octrio to teach you how to make this meal. Everything was going as planned as you looked over to see Ruggie chilling on the counter.
“You sure you don’t want help?” Ruggie asked, walking over to look over at what you were making. It was a simple dinner, filet mignon with some mashed potatoes, assorted vegetables, a hearty artichoke soup, and in the oven were some brownies for dessert. It was simple but perfect for date night. You even had the table set up with all your nice cutlery and a candle in the middle.
The steaks were sitting out, resting, and you had already finished everything. The soup was covered and you took off the top and stirred, deeming it ready, “Can you grab the plates and bowls?” You asked and Ruggie was more than happy to do so. He went over and grabbed everything he needed and you two set the table and sat down.
“So what’s the occasion anyway?” Ruggie said, cutting into his steak.
“I feel like every time we try to hang out it gets interrupted somehow.” You said, the slight malice you had for your friends bubbling inside you, “So I thought I’d treat you for all the interruptions in the past.” You lied easily enough. Really you were going to confess, and nothing was going to stop you.
“Thanks, but you didn’t have to. Not that imma complain, this is amazing!” Ruggie said, biting into his food. He looked so happy, smiling there as he did a little dance in his chair. You smiled at the cute action as you took a bite of your own. It was pretty good, and you’d have to thank Jade and Floyd later for telling you how to best season these.
“I haven’t had a home cooked meal in ages.” Ruggie said, “I remember Granny used to always make this meat pie. She never told me what was in it, but it was to die for.” He said happily and you chuckled at the thought.
“Ah, she seems wonderful.” You commented and Ruggie nodded.
“She is…but also kind of scary.” Ruggie murmured the last part and you smiled. She had to be if she was raising someone like Ruggie. The dinner was going just as you planned, you heard the dinging of the oven going off as the brownies finished.
“Oh hold up, lemme take those out.” You said, wiping your face and getting up. You walked over to the kitchen and pulled them out then spun around. You let out a gasp as you realized Ruggie was right behind you and he backed away to make sure he didn’t get hit.
“Rugs, you scared the shit outta me.” You whispered with a sharp inhale, placing the brownies on the counter.
“Sorry, sorry. They smell good though.” He said, looking at them, “What kind are they?” He asked, sniffing the air.
“They’re chocolate fudge brownies, but they have oreos in the middle of them. I got some frosting in the fridge to put on once they’ve cooled.” You commented, opening up the fridge and grabbing the cream frosting you had made by yourself. Ruggie hummed and walked over to the bowl, scooping some onto his finger and trying it.
“H-hey!” You cried out, laughing a bit as you watched his tail wagging.
“Tastes good…vanillaey.” He said and you rolled your eyes.
“Kalim gave me some fresh vanilla beans the other day when I went over to pick some things up.” You said and this got Ruggie’s attention.
“What did you need to pick up?” He asked and you blushed. Kalim had been kind enough to get you some materials to help you with a few personal projects that you had planned. Said projects would be done during winter break when everyone else was gone, and the thought excited you to see Ruggie’s expression when you showed them to him.
“Just a few things. Don’t worry about it too much.” You said, going to squeeze his cheek. Ruggie batted your hand away and you huffed, “I tried getting Crowley to grab me some stuff, but he told me it wasn’t needed so he declined due to expenses.”
“Ah…he’s kinda an asshole.” Ruggie said and you nodded.
“Kinda?” You mused and looked over at him. Well, now was the best time for it.
“So anyway, I did ask you here for another reason…” You began, deciding it was now or never. Ruggie looked over at you and you made eye contact. He was silent as he waited and you felt your heart hammering out of your chest.
“I just wanted to say…I really-” You suddenly heard something from the window. You paused in confusion as you looked over and tried to zero in on the noise.
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la…” The voice was soft but soon started to pick up. “My oh my.” Why did that sound familiar to you?
“Looks like the boy’s too shy…” The voice was now clearer and you swore you could hear a ukulele. No…oh sevens NO!
“Ain’t you gonna, kiss the boy~?” Ruggie could also hear it and you both turned to the window. You looked out and low and behold…there was Floyd with an ukulele and a shit-eating grin.
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la~” He sang again and you swore you were about to pop a blood vessel as anger surged through you.
“Floyd!” You yelled out, but before you could say anything else, Ruggie was already opening the window and was halfway out.
“Hey, can you pack me some brownies to go?” Ruggie said, fully prepared to chase Floyd.
“Wait, Ruggie don’t you dare-…and he’s gone.” You said, watching the hyena jump out the window. You heard Floyd’s laughter as he got chased and that soon faded. As soon as it was gone you heard a knock on your door and you stormed over to it.
You swung it open and glared at Jade who had a smirk on his face.
“Oh my, you seem a bit upset.” He noted and you growled. “I tried telling him not to help, but we all had a hunch about why you wanted to learn how to cook.” He said, his hand cupping his chin.
“I’m going to kill you.” You said and Jade paused, “I’m committing murder. I’m gonna have eel for tomorrow’s dinner.” Oh now you sounded unhinged. Jade seemed to take it as a queue as he took his leave, getting away with haste as you stood at the doorway. You were never going to confess to Ruggie, were you? You groaned and slammed the door shut and went to sit on the couch as you fumed.
“THE FIFTH TIME?!” You cried out into the empty dorm…oh life wasn’t fair.
Winter Break Arrives
At the Lounge:
“You made enemies with the prefect…when?” Azul said, pausing as he noticed how Jade was getting ready to board up some windows.
“The other night…it was an accident though.” Floyd promised and Azul groaned. He rubbed his temples as he looked over at what they were doing. Surly it couldn't be bad enough that even Jade was taking cautionary measures. Jade hit the board with a hammer, making sure it was in there as he turned to Azul.
“It was a simple mistake.” Jade mentioned and Azul paused.
“Pray tell…what did you two do?” Azul asked, knowing he didn’t want the answer. It was winter break so it wasn’t like he was too angry at the dorm being boarded since no customers would be coming in, but for fucks sake…Jade Leech was boarding up the windows.
“Well you remember how Shrimpy was helping out so we would teach them how to cook?” Floyd started and Azul hummed.
“It was so they could confess to Ruggie.” Jade said and Azul seemed uninterested.
“Good for them, that doesn’t explain anything.” Azul commented and Floyd snickered.
“Aaaaaaah Azul, we were getting there.” Floyd said and Azul huffed, “Well we decided to be wingmen that night. I was gonna serenade them, just like in the old legends with the mermaid princess.” Floyd continued on.
“It was a very good song, and he even practiced with his ukulele for it.” Jade said and Azul didn’t even want to know why Floyd owned one of those instruments.
“Continue.” Azul urged, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
“Well sharksucker got scared off I think…” Floyd said and Jade laughed.
“No, I think you upset him. He chased you around campus with a blush on his face.” Jade said and Floyd laughed.
“Aaaaaah it was tons of fun. His legs are so short.” Floyd commented and Azul groaned.
“Let’s not get off track.” Azul tried urging them some more.
“I went to check on the prefect and they seemed…unhinged.” Jade said, “In fact, they reminded me of that one orca mer that almost killed me and Floyd when we were younger.” Oh, now that’s a story Azul hadn’t heard of.
“That bad? Our little Shrimpy?” Floyd asked with the comparison.
“I was worried they’d grab the steak knives and do me in, actually. I felt some fear; such an unusual emotion.” Jade commented, “I also worried they’d overblot right there.”
“So you just ruined a confession attempt and they got upset? That doesn’t explain why you’re scared.” Azul said and Floyd gasped.
“He just said they might overblot.” Floyd said with a chuckle, “But it was super weird so we did some sleuthing, like those detective shows!”
“We discovered this wasn’t the first time…it was the fifth time actually.” Jade said and Azul was starting to see where the annoyance stemmed from.
“So now we’re scared of what they might do in retaliation.” Floyd said, “To think our little Shrimpy would become a homicidal maniac…so cute~!” He cooed.
“Adorable really.” Jade chuckled. At that moment Azul’s phone went off and he checked, noticing it was the prefect's caller ID.
“Ah, they’re calling.” Azul said, picking up the phone. Both eels seemed to freeze as he did so and Azul put you on speaker.
“I need a favor, and the eels owe me.” Your voice filtered through and Azul hummed.
“So I’ve heard, and what is this favor you’re needing?” Azul asked, grinning, “If we decide to do this, you have to promise not to kill the twins…even if they deserve it.”
“Deal…I need a phone number and some information.” You said and Azul seemed to grin.
“I know the perfect man for the job. Now who’s information do you need?” Your response made all three in the room grin.
At Ruggie’s Home:
“I’m telling you, it was the weirdest thing ever, granny.” Ruggie said, relaxing on the couch at their humble abode. Granny Bucchi stood there, listening to her grandson go on about the Ramshackle prefect, and all the times they had hung out as of late.
“I still don’t know what they wanted to tell me.” Ruggie grumbled and Granny looked almost shocked. Surly her grandson couldn’t be that dense…could he?
“Sweetheart…” Grandma said in a calm tone, “Do you really not know what it was?” She asked and Ruggie looked over at her.
“Clearly I don’t, or else I wouldn’t be having this problem. As soon as winter break is over I’m heading there to ask.” he said and Grandma just shook her head.
“Listen, you dense boy.” Grandma started, catching Ruggie off guard. She had her lecturing voice on and he didn’t know what this meant.
“What is it…?” Ruggie said, shuffling a bit, scared to find out what was going on.
“It’s clear they were going to confess. Just hearing about it was clear enough for this old hyena to tell.” Ruggie’s face went bright red at his grandma’s words.
“I…what?” Ruggie asked and she smiled.
“Yes, and each time you ran off.” She commented, “The poor dear is probably beyond frustrated. If I were them, I’d string you up so you couldn’t get away next time.” her off handed comment made Ruggie tense.
“You don’t think they would…do you?” Ruggie asked and she smiled.
“I do. Now, do you feel the same way?” She already knew the answer with how Ruggie was blushing. Every time you were mentioned it was like his eyes lit up excitedly and he seemed to be in his own world. Her grandson was smitten, that much she knew for a fact.
“Well…ya…so what?” Ruggie said and she smiled.
“Well then you need to confess the next time you see them. In fact, as soon as winter break is over you’re going there before reaching your dorm.” She said matter of factly. 
“I am? Me?” Ruggie asked, “I don’t have a single assertive bone in my body. It’s biology. I can’t.” The thought made him want to throw up from anxiety.
“Stop being a cry baby.” Granny snapped, “You put this poor thing through hell the past few months. You need to step up.” She said and Ruggie groaned.
“Fine…how do I do it?” Ruggie asked, hoping she’d have some clue.
“Well first off you’ll need to-” She was cut off by the house phone ringing, “Oh, give me a moment.” She said, walking over and picking it up.
“Is this Ms. Bucchi?” A tired voice asked.
“It is.” She said and grinned, having a good feeling about this.
“I go to school with your grandson and I was hoping you could help me with something.” Oh, how the tables were turning and the sun was shining down on this day.
