Black Clover Next Generation II ♣️💘
Family Tree of House Silva
Tumblr media
Yes, the Silva were productive... I am biased, obviously^^'
Nymphea and Valentina are twins, with Nymphea being the older one by three minutes. She is more like Nozel personality wise, while Valentina took more after Vanessa. They still got from the other parent, though.
It is a coincidence that they have the same initials as their parents... Nymphea and Valentina were also born on Valentine's Day^^'
Lavinia is the second child of Nozel and Vanessa, also very shy. She doesn't want to be a Magic Knight, finding more happiness in music and songs.
Cassandra was a surprise child, three years after Lavinia, but loved nonetheless. She is the wildest out of her sisters, if there is harshness in the Silva genpool, she got all of it. Cassandra also calls Yami uncle Dumpy.
Diego, Odette, Nebel and Zinnia are quadruplets. Which was a surprised to everyone. Diego and Zinnia are true wild pranksters, mini-versions of their parents, while Odette and Nebel are more calm, almost a miracle given who Nebra and Zora are.
Mathilda came many years later, as a surprise child. Nebra thought that she was done after giving birth to four babies at once, but she was very relieved that it was only one this time. Mathildas birth was also pretty fast, roughly twenty minutes.
The quadruplets are very protective of their baby sister, but baby Mathilda is going to be more a problem child than Diego, Zinnia and her parents together^^'
Eis is the first born of Solid and Rosette. He almost gave his parents and the midwives a scare because he didn't cried immediately when he was born.
Nanthilde is his sister, born four years later. Since she learned how to read, she had a soft spot for riddles and mysteries.
Both Eis and Nanthilde are very kind, like their mother. As much as their father was a brat in his youth, as much they are well-behaved. Solid is actually relieved they don't come too much after him personality wise.
Loreleï is the only daughter of Asta and Noelle. She was born a few days after Eis, which made them best friends since they were babies. Like her cousin Lavinia, she also doesn't want to become a Magic Knight, despite having her mother's amount of magic power.
Her brothers are much younger than her. Airgid is as wild as Asta with Noelles pride, a bit of a brat, but with a heart of of gold.
Nemo is the youngest, wild like his brother but kinder.
Fun fact, both Noelle and Asta were awful at giving names, even for their own children. Nozessa, Zobra and Sosette had to help them on that topic... which wasn't an easy task, but funny.
Nymphea has long silver hair like her father's, wavy like her mother's and Vanessas amethyst purple eyes, she has Silver magic. Valentina has the same eyes as her twin, but long straight hair like her grandmother, in a paler shade of Vanessas rosewood color, her magic is Tapestry. Lavinia has her mother's hair color, but the silky and thick structure of her father's (she wears them in two braids), she also has Nozels metallic lilac eyes, she got Vanessas Thread magic. Cassandra has silver hair, but very wild, a bit of mix of her parents and lavender purple eyes, her magic is Swords... given her wildness, it can be a stress factor for Nozel, one only Vanessa can calm him from.
Diego has his father strong red hair and also his deep blue eyes, looking like a mini-Zora, he has Spark magic. Odette has her mother's silver hair color, very wavy almost curly and like Diego, the eyes of her father, her magic is Cloud. Nebel's hair got a color mixed from his parents, with Nebra's gene a bit stronger, a pale pink, long and straight, his eyes are also a mix of his parents, a strong purple and like his name suggests, he got his mother's Mist magic. Zinnia has also pink hair, but unlike Nebel, her's are a stronger pink and are Wilde like Nebras, she also got her mother's magenta eyes, add to all of this Smoke magic. Mathilda has her father's red hair, pretty wild as well, and her mother's magenta eyes (a heavy contrast) and she got Water magic.
Eis has his mother's straight white blonde hair, which he wears short, his father blue eyes and like his name suggests, his magic is Ice. Nanthilde has curly hair, silver like Solid and Rosettes pale grey eyes (which got her the nickname Most Silver Silva), she got her mother's glass magic.
All of Astelle's children have water-based affinities (personal headcanon that Astas condition is not hereditary). Loreleï has her mother's straight long silver hair (unlike Noelle, she has her hair down most of the time) and her father's bright green eyes, her magic is Snow. Airgid has Astas wild ash blonde hair but wears it shoulder length and Noelles magenta eyes, he has Water magic like his mother. Nemo has silver hair but the same hairstyle like his father and also his mother's magenta eyes, his magic is Mist.

"Love me like you do" for Zobra, with prompt 13 (just because they're clearly not a fairy tale couple^^)
Tumblr media
-----
Hiya anon! Of course, and I hope you enjoy 🥰!
Word Count: 766
Warnings: None
-------
“ If I was your hero would you be mine?” Zora suddenly asked, causing Nebra to frown. Where did that come from all of a sudden? She watched him pull a small doll out of his pocket and frowned even more, it looked nearly identical to him! It had the same hairstyle, same clothes, and even the same mask.
“ I know this ain’t a fairytale but is real life, I just wanted to ask, since every hero needs their own sometimes.” Zora muttered as he held the doll up and towards her.
“ Was this doll your hero?” Nebra found herself asking as she gently took the doll into her hands and looked it over. It was very old but was in pretty good condition. There were a few loose threads and faded colors, but that was alright, that just meant the doll had been well loved.
“ It kind of was, y’see, my dad made this for me to ‘try and get me to talk more’ since I was a pretty quiet kid.”
“ You were a quiet kid?” Nebra laughed in surprise, and Zora rolled his eyes at her.
“ Yeah laugh it up, from what Noelle told me you weren’t a very chatty child either.” Zora threw back at her with a smirk, making her blush and look away in annoyance. SHe was going to have to scold Noelle later for telling him that!
“ Anyway, this doll, and my dad, both became my heroes. My dad made me want to be a Magic Knight, and this doll made me want to be some masked hero that righted the wrongs of the world.” Zora admitted sheepishly with a chuckle. “ Sounds pretty dumb for someone like me doesn’t it?”
“ It does,” Nebra admitted with a small smile, causing the man to glare at her. “ But it also makes you sound noble and kind.”
Zora blushed a bit and looked away as she called him ‘kind’ there weren’t many people who would use that word to describe him, most would describe him as ‘disrespectful’ and a ‘prankster’. Admittedly Nebra had called him those things too in the past, but now that they had gotten to know each other her views on him had changed.
Which was how they were in their current situation, because she had developed feelings for him and decided to confess, saying that he was her hero, and that she loved him. But Zora…he wasn’t sure about that. So he decided to test her.
“ I’ll ask you again,”  He began after another minute or two of silence fell between them. “ If I was your hero, would you be mine? If I needed you at 5 o’clock in the morning would you come running? If we got into an argument and I begged you not to go, would you listen?” He asked as he turned to face her.
“ Are those requirements for us to start dating?” She asked curiously and Zora nodded, he watched her think for a moment. The silence was almost deafening as she didn’t speak for what felt like minutes, but was actually only a few seconds.
“ Then, I’ll be your hero.” She told him confidently, he blinked at her in surprise, the old Nebra would have scoffed and said ‘that’s too much work’ and then walked away. But this Nebra, she was taking his challenge head on. Which led him to believe that her feelings were genuine.
“ I can’t guarantee that I wouldn’t leave during an argument, but I would try my best.” Nebra said softly. “ If you called me at 5 o’clock in the morning, I would come running even if I was only a little annoyed. And I would do it all because I love you.”
Zora felt his heart skip a beat and his face grow red at her words, she loved him? He didn’t want to believe it, even as he saw the sincere look in her eye, but his heart…his heart made him believe her.
“ You’d better keep your promises Misty Princess,” Zora said as he began to walk past her with a grin. “ Because I’m a lot to handle after a while.”
“ Oh believe me, I know, Noelle told me just how big of a troublemaker you are. And I’m more than willing to take on that responsibility.” Nebra said with a grin of her own as she followed behind him.
She quickly ran up to him and blushed as he casually threw an arm over her shoulder. This was their ‘day one’ as an official couple, even though Solid had said it wasn’t really official until they kissed.
---------
Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you all have a good day~!

Chapter nine is finally here, sorry it took longer than usual I wanted to make sure this chapter was on the longer side
———————————————————————————————
Grey was getting ready for her double date. She was nervous this would be her first date and she still can’t get over the fact she asked gauche to join her. She had asked him when she and Vanessa had bumped into him and his sister, she had unconsciously built up the courage to ask him out. At the time she felt embarrassed but now she is feeling a bit happy and nervous, this is everything she could have hoped for, not to mention that Zora and Nebra would be there so it won’t be awkward. Although Zora and Nebra will be there, and why they did love her, Grey is sure they will tease her and Gauche. Not to mention this would be Zora’s second time meeting Gauche, and after their first meeting Grey was sure Zora wasn’t too fond of the brunette, so she is hoping Nebra will be able to help keep Zora calm.
Knock Knock Knock
‘That must be Gauche’ Grey thought to herself, she looked at her blue dress and jacket, both of which she had bought with Vanessa, if all went well she would thank the pink haired women. Grey opened the door and was greeted by Gauche wearing jeans and a purple button up shirt. Grey blushed a bit thinking the man looked handsome in his attire, and Gauche thought she looked beautiful in her attire as well.
“Um, Hi Grey” Gauche scratched the back of his head nervously, this was his first date so of course he was nervous.
“H-Hi Gauche” Grey greeted back shyly.
“You look stunning today”
“S-So do you”
It got awkward now, neither of them knew what to do. All of a sudden Gauche held out hand for Grey who took it coyly. As they walked to the car Gauche opened the door for her, remembering what Sister Teresa told him to do for a lady. They drove to the restaurant the Purple Peacock, it was owned by Dorothy Unsworth, a close friend of Yami. That was one of the main reasons when Zora asked her where she wanted to go eat she chose there, because if anything were to happen she knew there would be people she could trust. Arriving there Gauche got out of the car and opened the door for her like a true gentleman, they then entered the restaurant where they heard a familiar voice.
“Grey, you made it” they heard Zora say, they both turned and saw Zora and his girlfriend Nebra silva sitting in a booth.
“Hi to you too Zora” Grey greeted her brother, who had gotten up to go hug her. “Hello Nebra, It’s good to see you again”
“I can same too you Grey” The silver haired women said with a smile, but she then noticed Gauche “oh, and you must be Grey’s date” Nebra asked, causing both Grey and Gauche to blush, and Zora to glare at Gauche, now just noticing the brunette’s existence.
“Um, hello I’m Gauche Adlai, and yes I’m Grey’s date” he said slightly embarrassed.
“Pleasure to meet the man who swept Grey off her feet” Nebra teased them. “Why don’t you two take a seat, and Grey before you say anything the food is on me”
“But Nebr-”
“Ah ah ah, It’s fine Grey” Nebra assured her. Grey never liked people wasting their money on her, she didn’t like it when Zora did it when they first started hanging out, and she definitely doesn’t like it when Nebra does it. Despite Nebra saying she was financially stable didn’t mean Grey didn’t feel guilty, and she always swore (much to Nebra insistence not to) Grey always promised to pay her back some way somehow, since Nebra wouldn’t accept any cash Grey offered her. As Grey and Gauche sat down and looked at the menu to order, Zora whether he realized or not had sat closer to Grey in a protective way, which didn’t go unnoticed by Nebra. She nudged his shoulder so that he would stop. Once they had all ordered their food the table got quite awkward, being that Grey and Gauche didn’t know what to say, Zora seemingly hating Gauche’s guts, and Nebra trying to hold the double date together.
“So how’s life going Grey?” Nebra asked, trying to ease the tension.
“Well everything so far has gone…alright” Grey responded, remembering the mission.
“Really, did something happen?” Nebra noticed the tone of the response and got a bit concerned.
“U-Um, just a bad day at work” Grey tried to not mention seeing her ex’s brother, especially not when Gauche is here.
“I understand that, I’ve had my fair share of terrible days” Nebra sighed, she then laid her head on Zora’s shoulder. “But then I get to spend time with this prankster”
Zora smiled and gave her a small kiss on her forehead before turning back to Grey and Gauche.
“That’s very sweet” Grey smiled, the thought of that sounded incredible to her. Being able to come home after a long tiring day and resting with the person you love sounds like a dream to her.
“So Grey, how long have you and Gauche known each other, Co-worker wise, before you two started dating?” Nebra asked.
“Oh, um I believe for two years, right?” She looked at Gauche for confirmation.
“Give or take, though this is our first date” Gauche blushed, responding though he never expected to go out on a date with Grey, so far he must admit he was enjoying it. Though Zora seemed to have it out for him, he could tell from their first meeting and now that Zora hated his guts, just because he was having a date with Grey.
“So Gauche, what do you do? I understand since you are co-workers with Grey you must do something close to her department right?” Zora asked, the question catching both Grey and Gauche off guard. Grey’s alibi is that she worked at the Blue roses that is run by Charlotte Roselei, another close friend of Yami. But would they buy that he works there?
“I work for the marketing department” Gauche said in a calm demeanor, he knew her alibi and with his quick thinking thought of a position that would be believable and one he could use later on if need be.
“Oh really, well you seem like you would be good at marketing” Nebra responded, obviously seeming very believable. Even Zora thought it did make sense, as much as he hates to admit it.
“So what made you want to date Grey huh?” Zora asked with venom in his voice.
“Zora?” Grey asked, concerned.
“Because…” Gauche stopped, he asked her out because Marie wanted a sister, but is that what he told himself so as to not face his feelings? The longer he took the worse it looked, and more furious Zora got.
“Hey, why don’t you talk?”
“Zora please” Grey pleaded, she started feeling bad once Gauche stopped talking but Zora trying to aggravate him made her feel worse.
“Look at him he doesn’t even know why, he should know by now, I’ll be damned if you date someone who can’t answer a simple question!” The tense was thick and Grey for one couldn’t handle it, she got up just as Gauche snapped out of it.
“Grey?” He asked
“I-I’m going to see what’s taking our drinks so long, o-okay” She told them, Knowing the distress they caused her none of them said anything in resistance. She walked to the bar and asked for their drinks, and while there she sighed feeling terrible like she caused this.
“Why so sad sis?” An all too familiar voice asked. Grey looked next to her to find Vanica Zogratis staring at her with her one crimson eye, Grey felt so much terror. Vanica out of all of them scared her the most second only to him, Vanica would always torture her either mentally or physically and at the end of the day would still call her sister like some sick joke. Grey couldn’t do anything but quickly walk back from Vanica, she knew vanica wasn’t dumb and she wouldn’t attack Grey in public, she was a hunter she would wait for her prey to be alone. So Grey had to get to a safe place. The base that was her safe haven, but that would mean leaving Zora and Nebra in the middle of their double date, Grey was conflicted should she leave for her own safety? Or should she stay for the sake of the date, but is she willing to put them in danger? In the end she made her decision. Grey ran to the table and grabbed Gauche’s arm.
“W-We have to leave”
“What, why Grey?” Gauche asked concerned, Zora and Nebra were worried as well.
“B-Because I just remembered we have to do something at work”
“But it’s ten o’clock?” Zora asked suspiciously.
“Y-Yeah, well our boss is big on getting work done” She laughed nervously before dragging Gauche back to the car.
“H-Hey, Grey what’s going on?” Gauche asked as they could hear Zora asking where they were going.
“No time to explain, just drive to the base!” Grey said finally able to freak out.
Gauche then saw a woman with black hair and an eye patch walk out the restaurant, looking around till her eyes landed on Grey, whose face turned pale. Gauche understood the situation and immediately started the car and drove off rapidly. Vanica watched as her sister and who seemed to be her partner drove away.
“Oh how fun” She said in a borderline seductive yet blood thirsty voice. She got in her car and chased after them at high speeds, meanwhile Gordon had witnessed it all and told Dorothy who soon contacted Yami. All the while the chase continued.
“Come on come on we’re almost there” Grey said as she looked back using the mirrors, she was panicking and it showed.
“Grey we’ll make it trust me okay, I don’t know who that woman is but I assure you, I won’t let her hurt you” Gauche told her, It helped her calm down a bit but Gauche didn’t know what Vanica was unlike she did. If Vanica caught them, it would be a fate worse than death.
“Gauche the exit!” Grey screamed, just in time too because once they turned it caught Vanica off guard and she was going too fast and couldn’t turn in time. She crashed into a tree and sat there motionless as Grey and Gauche got away and made it to the base safely.
“H-Haha HAHAHAHA!!!” Vanica laughed maniacally as blood dripped down her face from her forehead ‘That damn bitch!’ She thought as she pulled out her phone and dialed her brother.
Zenon answered the phone while he was talking to Dante.
“Vanica, did you retrieve her?” Zenon asked.
“No the blue hair skank got away, and I’m afraid where she went won’t be an easy place to break into” She told them, Zenon was frustrated but couldn’t hold a candle to Dante’s fury.
“Gather the disciples,” Dante said with authority. “I’ll retrieve her myself” He said, and Zenon knew better than to fight him on the subject so as soon as he hung up ok Vanica, ensuring someone would go get her, he walked to gather the troops.
All the while Dante looked out the window.
“My love, I’ll remind you just how much I love you”

rarepairs ask!
zorarebecca or zoranebra? 👀
Tumblr media
time to get around the zora ships.
(send me two ships or friendships and I'll pick one)
Zora x Kirsch(?) vs. Zora x Nebra(?)
I ship neither. I can't see zora getting close to someone of a high class outside the bulls let alone get in relationship with them, this concept does not work in my head because this is zora, and the few fics I read for both pairs didn't work for me so, uh, I think I'll just go with the one whose family I'm the most invested in...
HCs bonus:
Zora x Kirsch:
neither of them remembers the other's name and neither of them plans to remember it, instead they go with nicknames.
I see them as one of those rumored maybe couples who never get together but will cross each other's paths once every 3-4 months.
in the far future zora will build his own school, peasant-only (but is open to anyone suffers from discrimination), while kirsch will build his own, royal/noble-only, the two schools are bitter rivals.
Zora x Nebra:
insulting each other? this is their love language.
nebra is in love with zora's fashion sense and keeps asking his advice for what to wear in this party or that festival, his response often starts along the lines of "bitch open your eyes I only wear this shit so people like you hate me!" - then proceeds to give her the most horrendous advice and the madwoman actually loves it!
neither of them is capable to live with the other and abandons his life, so they only meet each other in neutral places like the black bulls' base and keep reminding the other that, yeah, we'll only do this 'till one of us find a fitting partner.
Zora x Rebecca vs. Zora x Nebra(?)
Ah, two girls who never met zora in canon... obviously I'll go with the one who has a simple life and loving family and deserves as much love as zora!! I like rebecca, let's go with this ship, I want them both to have a happy ending and peaceful future.
HCs bonus:
rebecca's siblings adore zora so much, her youngest one even sees him as parental figure and calls him 'dad' (and zora freaks out every time because holy shit).
rebecca has her own restaurant and zora visits her on regular basis to help her around and teach her new recipes, thinks of coffee shop vibes with slow burn (rebecca stopped looking for guys because none is willing to accept her siblings and they’ll always come first).
if they ever had kids, they'll have one girl and that's when zora will drop the mask, retire magic knights heroism, and create a school to teach the new generation (co-lead with another bull).

Solid no sabe que ha hecho mal en su vida para terminar en una cita doble con su hermana y su novio, él es demasiado bueno para esto, le gusta que Salette le de su atención mas que compartirla activamente con los demás, no hará ningún comentario pero pedir una dosis doble de afecto en privado.

Surprises In The Night
Summary Even though it's just another night at the Black Bull's base, some surprises were just too shocking to be just done with it...
A/N Inspired by @f-oighears hilarious and amazing oneshot on Ao3, I loved that one^^ I might work on a sequel for this.
Ao3 link
♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣
If there was something that Yami hated more than being woken up in the middle of the night, it was being woken in the middle of the night while he had a special someone in the bed with him. If he had known better, he would have ignored Magna’s scream and actually spent a peaceful night.
But of course, Yami didn’t known any better. So, he stood up, scratched his chin, groaned, gave the groaning woman next to him a reassuring caress and went to open the door.
“Geez, you know what time it is, Magna? People are trying to sleep here, just so you know.”
“I’m sorry, captain Yami, sir! But I’m so shocked!” Magna yelled, while his captain hold him at the head, almost crushing him.
“Shocked of what, dumbass? To see me awake at night? Being scared would be more appropriate and you should know that.”
“No, that’s not it! I mean, I am scared to see you awake right now and I’m shocked for something else!”
“Oh really? And what did shocked you in our Hideout? Did Gauche stop worshipping his little sis all of a sudden?”
“No, it’s Vanessa, she-“
Magna stopped suddenly, as he got a glance in Yamis bedroom. Yami sweated and tried to hide his squad members eye’s, but it was too late. Magna saw that there was a woman in his captains bed. And since said woman just sat up, he also immediately recognized who it was.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Crap, again?
Instinctively, Yami closed his door while some other Black Bulls suddenly came out of their rooms, though Henry didn’t joined the crowd and stood at his doorframe. The boys, no girls where there yet and he hoped that it stayed that way. He also hoped that the girls rooms were rather away today and with any luck, they haven’t heard Magna screaming his lungs out.
With any luck.
“Can’t you scream in silence, we’re trying to sleep here!” Gauche yelled, but thankfully not as loud as Magna.
“Is there a fight? Are we attacked?” Luck asked with enthusiasm, his night bonnet whipping in every direction as he talked and jumped.
“Well… first… and… then… bed… the hell…” Magna stuttered, pointing at the door to the captains bedroom. Yami hold his head a little stronger.
“There’s nothing to see here, brats. Just a fuss over nothing. Now go back to bed and sleep and shut up or you’re all dead.”
How lucky he was that Nacht wasn’t here. He wouldn’t have heard the end of it.
But how unlucky he was that there was someone who was able to read Ki.
“That’s weird, captain Yami. I read captain Charlottes Ki in your room- OUCH!”
“I never should have teached you to read Ki, cupcake,” Yami groaned in his most menacing voice, while Asta was now also getting his head almost crushed.
But it was too late. His brats were sleepy but the smartest ones would put the dots together in a few seconds. And Yami wasn’t awake enough to quickly get his katana and grimoire to threaten them with a Dimension Slash if they won’t go to bed quickly.
Silence.
Asta and Magna whined.
More silence.
“WHAAAAT!”
“Really, is she here to fight?”
“Does that mean she wants to become our new friend?”
“Oh… I… would… have… make… a… new… guest… room… if… I… knew… that… she… was… coming…”
“Why is the captain of the Blue Roses allowed to sleep here and not Marie?”
“WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP!” Yami screamed. “Finral, breath again, I still need my wheels. No, Luck, the prickly princess is not here to fight you, especially not in the middle of the night. Gordon, if she wants to become your friend, you ask her, not me. Henry, she’s sleeping in my bed, a new guest room isn’t needed. Gauche, if you continue to be angry that my prickly princess is here while your sister isn’t, you will do Astas cleaning duty for a year. And Zora, stop snickering or I’ll kill you!”
In the meantime, Charlotte came out of his bedroom, looking tired, annoyed and somehow resigned.
Damn. She was really hot as a sleepy head, especially when she was wearing one of his large undershirts that were way too long for her.
But right now, with his brats present, the male brats, Yami would have preferred that Charlotte really did bring one of her long nightgowns. He wanted the only one to see that sight of her.
“Good… well, good night, everyone,” the blonde woman mumbled.
She was clearly flustered. Yami couldn’t blame her.
“Good night and, um, nice to see you, captain Charlotte. Welcome at the Black Bulls Hideout,” Finral said, in an unsure tone but still willing to be polite and showing some hospitality towards a squad captain visitor.
There was an awkward silence, only interrupted by Astas and Magnas whining.
Then Finral looked like he understood something.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my-“
“Stop repeating, Finral and just say it out loud!” Gauche yelled, visibly annoyed.
“Captain Yami is shagging the captain of the Blue Roses”, Zora snickered.
Charlotte blushed and Yami could feel his own face burning up as well. Crap, he didn’t wanted his brats to find out about his relationship like that, especially not in the middle of the night. And he had wanted to keep it a secret for longer, just because he knew how his brats could be.
“Oh… Con… gra… tu… la… tions…”
“Thank you, Henry,” Charlotte mumbled, trying to look away.
“What does shagging mean? Is it another word to fight? Can I join?”
“NO!” both Yami and Charlotte yelled.
“And was that the reason Magna screamed two times?” Gauche asked, while he was taking a picture of his sister out of his pyjama pocket. “One time would have been one too much already, I was sleeping and dreaming of my angel-“
“You mean your sister or Grey?” Gordon asked. Of course it wasn’t teasing coming from him, but Gauche still flushed a little. Good. Yami hoped that the attention would go over to Gauche now and his not-so-secret feelings for Grey.
But of course, Magna had to stop his salvation.
“No- ouch! I only screamed for the second – ow – when I saw captain Charlotte in captain Yamis bed- ouchy! The first scream – au, au – was about…”
“Yami darling, would you please stop crush those poor boys heads?” Charlotte asked, half annoyed, half concerned for Asta and Magna. Yami just sighed, dropping his two knights who landed with their butts on the floor.
“Thank you, captain Charlotte.”
“Hold your gratitude, especially you, Magna,” Yami said in a very menacing voice. “If your first scream wasn’t about me and my prickly princess-“
“Did he just said my prickly princess?” Finral asked, still under shock.
“-then why did you scream in the first place?”
“Don’t be so rude on him, Yami. It’s not his fault that he found out about us.”
“Don’t scold me, prickly princess, you’re breaking my delicate little heart of glass here.”
“Delicate little heart of glass?” a few Black Bulls asked, surprised.
“Well,” Magna started. “I wasn’t sleeping well and wanted to ask Vanessa for some potion to help me sleep. But…” at this point, Magna blushed, “she… well… she wasn’t alone in her room.”
“Did the girls have a sleepover?” Asta asked, innocently. “That’s strange, normally they do it in Charmys room, because of the snacks. Vanessas room is way too messy for a sleepover, everyone knows that. But Magna, you could have still asked for that potion, even if the other girls are with her.”
“No, it wasn’t a sleepover with all the girls,” Magna replied, even more blushing. He went silent and some Black Bulls began to put some dots together.
“Oh… she has someone too,” Finral said, clearly trying to process that particular news.
“Who?” Asta asked innocently.
Magna blushed even more – was that even possible? – and kept quiet.
“Magna, no need to be ashamed. It’s good that Vanessa has someone that makes her happy. I wanna know who that person is, so we can be friends.”
“And I wanna fight that person!”
“Did you saw them in her bed?”
“No…”
Gauche sighed deeply, visibly irritated. “Then how can you be sure that Vanessa has someone when you haven’t saw another person with her in her bed?”
“I never said that I saw them, I couldn’t because I didn’t even entered the room!” Magna protested. “But I… heard them.”
Silence.
“They were… apparently… very busy…”
Silence.
“I heard Vanessa mostly, but… he… well…”
“Oh, it’s a man?” Zora asked.
“I wanna fight him!”, Luck added. Those two were currently the only ones who dared to speak up.
“Well… I was petrified at first. But then, Vanessa screamed his name and… you know the rest.”
“And what name was it that it made you scream like that?”
“It’s… Nozel Silva.”
Silence.
An owl was heard outside of the base.
More silence.
“WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!”
That multiple scream filled the whole Hideout. It was probable that the Black Bull girls would come after this. And indeed, Nero was already coming nonchalantly, with Grey hiding behind her.
“Hello, everyone. If you ask where the other girls are, Noelle will follow and I haven’t seen Charmy or Vanessa. Good evening, captain Charlotte.”
Nero was so unfazed that it was almost scary.
“So… you’re not surprised that the captain of the Blue Roses is here?” Finral asked carefully.
“Not really. After all, it was time that captain Yami not only finally realizes those feelings, but also that they finally got together.”
“For fuck’s sake, was I really the last one who realized what my prickly princess was feeling for me?”
“Yes,” Gordon said and Finral even added, “Well, even captain Jack realized it before you and since he’s-“
“Be careful with what you say, Finral!”
Yamis voice was so menacing that everyone present flinched, except Charlotte and Nero.
“B-Being in front of a s-squad captain i-in my nightgown a-and with a s-sleepy h-head, i-it’s so e-embarrassing.”
“Grey, it’s probably embarassing for everyone. Would you like some tea?” Gordon asked in an effort to calm his squadmate a bit.
“Forget about the tea, Gordon! Could anyone please explain why Vanessa is sleeping with Nozel Silva of all people?”
Grey just shrieked again at Gauches question, which meant that she wouldn’t calm herself a bit for a while.
Nero, on the other hand, seemed unfazed as usual.
“Oh. I better go warn them, just in case.”
She transformed into a bird with a plop and flew away immediately, leaving a bunch of stunned people behind her. Grey now went to hide behind Gauche.
“Okay, not being surprised about captain Yami and captain Charlotte is one thing,” Finral finally said, visibly still trying to recover from the shock. “But captain Nozel and Vanessa together is a far bigger surprise, even for Nero!”
“Maybe she already knew,” Gordon suggested, but it was left unheard as Zora, Magna and Asta began to speak up at the same time.
“I honestly haven’t seen it coming, even though Vanessas Ki had been weird, lately.”
“I swear it’s true, I’ve heard her say his name!”
“I could say that it’s maybe another Nozel. But who else would have a dumbass name like that.”
“Shut up, brats!”, Yami yelled, punching a fist in a wall. “I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I will not allow another cap using my hideout as a dating place!”
Charlotte sighed, “Yami, I’m a captain too.”
“You’re an exception, prickly princess and I invited you.”
“Isn’t it fair to assume that Vanessa invited Nozel, then?”
“Without my authorization!”
“Does she need you’re authorization?”
“Only when Braids is involved.”
“You came up with that only now, I can tell.”
“Doesn’t matter, I’m still the captain of this squad of misfits.”
“Woah, captain Yami, you and captain Charlotte already sound like an old- OUCH!”
Yami took Asta again menacingly by the head, while Charlotte held his arm, trying to make him let go of his squad member.
“Geez, where’s Charmy when we need her? I need some popcorn or one of her special drinks,” Zora snickered, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
“Well, honestly, I’m surprised no one noticed a thing before. After all, we all know how difficult it is to have some privacy here,” Finral sighed, running a hand through his hair.
“Well… it’s only my second night in this base,” Charlotte mumbled.
“Well, it’s still an accomplishment, captain Charlotte. One night keeping a secret is already long in here.”
“Yeah, unless you want some excitement, you better met elsewhere when you’re dating outside of your squad,” Zora added, still snickering, but somehow softer.
Which didn’t go unnoticed by Asta, who was still struggling to get free from Yamis grip with Charlottes help.
“Zora, are you talking from experience?”
“Nah, I’m just stating a fact.”
“But…”
Asta couldn’t continue, because Nero came back in this very moment. Followed by Nozel and Vanessa. Hand in hand. Nozel was only wearing some pyjama pants and Vanessa a – unusual for her style – long undershirt, which was too silvery white to not be a Silva piece of clothing.
Well, there was nothing left to doubt anymore.
“Nero warned us,” Vanessa smiled, while blushing. “Um, sorry that we traumatized you, Magna.”
Nozel said nothing, but his cheeks were totally beet red.
“Did you realize what time of the night it is? Couldn’t you just… um… I mean, never mind.”
Magna looked at Nozel Silva with cautious, but even though the captain of the Silver Eagles was obviously not going to scold him, the Black Bulls fire mage kept quiet. He was still embarrassed from his discovery, after all.
Charlotte and the Black Bulls just awkwardly stared at Nozel, who just blushed harder and stared anywhere else but at the pairs of eyes looking upon him. In fact, he stared at Vanessas hand holding his, intervening their fingers.
“Oh, good evening, captain Charlotte. First night captain took you at our base, huh?”
“Hello, Vanessa. No, it’s actually my second- Wait, you knew that we’re together?”
“Yes, I did.”
Silence.
“WHAT?” almost everyone yelled.
“Well, you know, when your boyfriend is a captain, you have an excellent source of gossip about what happens at the meetings of squad captains?”
“WHAT?”
“But… we were… and… Nozel… how did he… of all people…” Charlotte stuttered, slowly losing some bits of the cool she still had left.
“Yeah, no offence to your boyfriend, Vanessa, but captain braids isn’t the most susceptible towards gossip,” Zora snickered, somehow having the time of his life. Or something else, because Asta was looking at him with question mark eyes again and again.
“I… had a good teacher,” Nozel finally said, clearly flustered.
“Oh, this is really lovely of you to say, honey,” Vanessa smiled, clearly touched and giving him a kiss on the cheek, much to the others shock.
“Wait, was that a compliment?” Magna asked.
“Yes, it was,” Asta replied, more than stunned.
“Well, it sounded like it,” Zora snickered, although it was just as surprised as the others.
“And are we just ignore the fact that Vanessa just called Nozel Silva honey of all people?” Finral asked.
“And that she kissed him on the cheek,” Gordon added.
“W-witnessing t-this, i-it’s so em-embarassing…”
“Oh, shut up, you brats!” Yami suddenly yelled, stopping the growing discussions of his squad members.
“Please, language, Yami,” Charlotte mumbled. But she knew that it was unnecessary anyway.
“Alright, Bird Braid, I don’t think I gave you my authorization to-“
“Yami, leave Nozel alone, I invited him!”
“You’re not of the hook, Vanessa.”
“Fore- um, Yami. Do not scold Vanessa, she was just being hospitable!”
“Oh, come on, Braids, Vanessa. Would you stop defending each other, I’m trying to-“
“No!”
It was not only Nozel and Vanessa who yelled, but also Charlotte and that alone made Yami go quiet again. There was a silence again, only disturbed by Greys soft whimpering and Finrals polite mumble to welcome Nozel in their base.
“Honestly, how did that even happen?” Gauche finally groaned, pointing at both couples.
“You want the long version or the short version?” Vanessa asked, finding some of her joyful attitude again.
“Keep it short, wino.”
“Okay. We fell in love.”
“Wait, that’s way too short!”
“But you asked me to keep it short.”
“What Gauche probably should have meant,” Yami said, as calm as possible since Charlotte was holding his arm, “why would you go with Braids of all people. Seriously, you can do better than a royal who has three sticks up his ass.”
“Excuse me?”
Nozel made a step towards Yami, visibly insulted.
“Yami, please, was that really necessary?” Charlotte asked, deadpanned.
“Oh, we’ll have a night fight! Yeah! Comme Magna, fight me!”
“Please… don’t… fight… It’s… still… the… middle… of… the… night… and… I’m… way… too… tired… to… fix… all… the… damages…”
“No way! I’m still too shocked, find someone else to fight!”
“Okay, can someone fetch Charmy,” Zora grinned. “I really need popcorn.”
“I… would… only… be… able… to… fix… them… later… tomorrow… and… captain… Yami… doesn’t… like… parts… of… our… base… stay… broken… for… too… long.”
“For Heaven’s sake,” Vanessa said loud, stopping the discussions. “Who I love is my business and Nozel doesn’t have one or three sticks up his ass. I would know if there were some, trust me.”
A bunch of the present people blushed.
“And even if he had, I wouldn’t give a damn at all. I love Nozel, he makes me happy.”
She gave her boyfriend the most gorgeous smile the Black Bulls ever saw on her face. Nozel blushed, but smiled softly back, holding her hand tighter.
“You… um, you make me happy too.”
“Oh, this is adorable,” Gordon smiled, already planning to add two new dolls for his collection.
Finral only nodded, a bit unease. On one hand, it was a bit embarassing and honestly weird to witness Vanessa making eyes with Nozel Silva of all people. But on the other hand, they were adorable and Finral was not too embarrassed to admit that he was happy for his best friend.
One day soon, it would be us, lady Finesse…
“Nope, this is weird,” Gauche groaned.
“Go date Grey first, Gauche,” Vanessa replied. “Then you can talk.”
Both Grey and Gauche blushed.
“Besides, captain Yami, do I make such a drama about you and captain Charlotte?”
Yami was about to reply when a new person joined the hallway.
“Can someone please tell me what all the fuss is about? Do you realize what time-“
Noelle stopped, both with her words and her feet, as she saw that her older brother was here. Both Nozel and Vanessa blushed, unable to say anything.
“Nozel… um…”
“Good evening, Noelle.”
It was only then when the water mage discovered her older brother’s hand in Vanessas.
Silence.
“Wait… Vanessa, why is Nozel… and… OH MY GOD!”
Noelle immediately covered her face with her hands as realization hit her.
“Alright, sweetie, don’t forget do take deep breaths.”
“I’m doing it, Vanessa!”
She clearly wasn’t.
“I mean… it’s just… weird… No, it’s not! I mean it is, but… I don’t mean it as an insult, I swear! Did anyone even know?”
A bunch of Black Bulls replied with a “No”. But it didn’t had much an impact, because another Bull had an answer who was the complete opposite.
“Yes, I did know.”
“NERO?”
“But… why didn’t you say anything?” Noelle asked with cautious.
“First, they wanted to keep it a secret for a while and I respected that. It was their secret and not mine, after all,” Nero answered in the calmest way. “And second, they’re cute together.”
“Cute?”
While some Black Bulls, including Yami, looked at Nero in disbelief, Noelle stared back at her brother and her squadmate, still holding hands like there was no tomorrow and obviously standing nearer to each other than needed.
“Well… I can’t disagree with that. But... it’s still weird. But cute, yes, I can’t deny. But weird, argh, sorry!”
“You still under shock, it’s normal, sweetie,” Vanessa smiled, visibly relieved that Noelle didn’t took it badly.
“We wanted to tell you,” Nozel sighed. “We just… postponed. And well… it was also new… for both of us.”
“New and beautiful, honey,” Vanessa added, stroking some silver hair behind his ear.
“Honey?” Noelle repeated, still under shock.
“Sweetie, please, I give nicknames to everyone, it’s normal that your dear brother would also have his own. And you can ask captain Charlotte if she has some nicknames for captain Yami as well.”
“VANESSA!!”
It was only then that Noelle realized that her older brother wasn’t the only captain from another squad present tonight.
“Captain Charlotte… with… captain Yami… wait! You’re finally together?”
“Would she wear one of my undershirts if that weren’t the case?” Yami asked, annoyed. But since his secret was out, there was sadly no reason anymore to try to hide it.
“I should tell Puli about this great news,” Gordon said, happily.
“Puli? Like Puli Angel? A member of my squad?”
“Yes, we became good friends since that mixer. You were there too, captain Yami, remember?”
“A mixer? I don’t remember being on a mixer ever in my life, especially with some Blue Roses.”
“But it was a mixer, I was there too!” Charlotte complained. “It was during those six months of training before the raid of Spade. I had that pretty dress on and you told me that I looked like I was going to freeze and when we touched hands to take the pepper and I… jumped… out of a window.”
Charlotte went beet red.
“You… did what?” Nozel asked, clearly confused.
“Wait, that was a mixer?” Yami asked, also clearly confused. “But you told me that your girls made this a dinner party for you to relax a bit.”
“They… well… they mostly did it so that you and I could get together…”
Silence.
“Charlotte, how long have you been in love with me?”
The captain of the Blue Roses just yelped, hiding her face behind her hands. She had hoped to be over this, but it was now in the middle of the night and a bunch of people found out about their secret, not to mention that she was still tired and just learned another secret as well. It was a bit too much for her to handle.
“Look at us, so many couples. Captain is finally together with Charlotte, I’m happy with my Little Eagle, Noelle and-“
“Vanessa!” Noelle yelped, beet red. Asta looked at her with confusion and a frown.
“Okay, sorry. Finral is going to marry his beloved Finesse, I bet it’s only a matter of time before Grey and Gauche get together-“
“Shut up, Wino!”
“Would you please talk to my girlfriend with more respect, delinquent?”
“Magna and Luck are so, so close like never before, Gordon is friends with Puli and maybe it could become more-“
“We’re just friends, though.”
“And I know that Zora is seeing someone very special too.”
Zora’s smug snickering found an end in an awkward cough.
“You… know?”
“Don’t worry, Zor, I still have no idea who it is. But we can all take bets. I put my two scents on Kirsch.”
“Poor Zora,” the Silva siblings mumbled.
“Wait, you have someone? Is that why your Ki was so weird right now? But who?” Asta asked and his confusion visibly irritated Zora.
“But who would have the patience to deal with Zora?” Gauche asked, still grumpy.
“Well, Grey has patience with you, so you’re not one to talk,” Zora snarked back.
Gauche was about to reply, when the door to Zoras room was brutally opened.
“WHAT ARE YOU MAKING ME WAITING FOR SO LONG, PEASANT!”
Except Zora, everyone present was shocked to see Nebra Silva of all people run out of Zoras room, wearing only a black nightgown, very unusual for a Silva.
Nebra stopped short as she realized that Zora wasn’t alone. In fact, two persons in particular got her attention and put her in a very Silva state of embarrassment.
“Nozel, Noelle, hi.”
“Nebra, hi.”
Nozel didn’t say anything. It wasn’t clear if he was shocked like the others or just done.
Probably both.
“Okay, this is way more surprising than Vanessa being with captain Nozel,” Finral finally said, sounding surprised and done at the same time.
Zora looked like he wanted to retreat.
“Nozel is with… Oh my gosh!” Nebra exclaimed, pointing at Nozel and Vanessa. “So she’s the one you’re canoodling with!”
“Wait, you knew about them?” Noelle asked.
“Well, I only knew that Nozel was dating someone and… um, due to circumstances, I suspected that it probably wasn’t a noble.”
“What kind of circumstances?” Nozel asked, frowning.
“Um, you know, circumstances,” Nebra mumbled, flicking her hand, before she turned to Zora and took him by the shoulders. “Why haven’t you told me that my older brother is dating your squadmate?”
“Hey, don’t accuse me, I only learned about it like two minutes ago! It’s not my fault that they were caught by Magna over there.”
“I couldn’t sleep and I haven’t expected Vanessa to scream the name of the Silver Eagles captain in the middle of the night!”
“Sorry, but I couldn’t help it, Nozel is such a god in bed!”
“Vanessa!”
Nozel, even more beet red than before, put a hand on his girlfriend’s mouth, but it was unnecessary. As good as everyone understood what Vanessa was implying. Especially his sisters, who were now as flustered as he was. The three Silva siblings just looked at each other, too embarrassed to even look away.
“Wait,” Gordon said suddenly, “Asta is with Noelle, Vanessa with captain Nozel and Zora with lady Nebra. Does that mean that three Silvas are in love with someone out of their circles?”
“Three?” Charlotte asked innocently, but it was covered by Noelles squealed “GORDON!!!”, while Astas cheek turned into a soft pink.
But to almost everyone’s surprise, Nozel and Nebra weren’t that shocked about their little sister being with a peasant. Vanessa giggled and Zora leaned against the wall with resigned sigh.
“You… knew…” Noelle stuttered. Asta went to her and took her hand.
“Yes, I do and apparently, Nozel is aware as well. About you and Asta,” Nebra sighed, flicking her hand. A clear indicator that she was flustered. And that she probably doesn’t have the energy to say something insulting, even if she wanted to. But she didn’t.
“And… you’re not against it?”
“Noelle, look at us. I’m with a peasant just like you and Nozel is with a witch. We both would be hypocrites if we were against your relationship.” Nebra sighed deeply, before mumbling, “I don’t wanna be a hypocrite ever again.”
“Well, we can say you made some progress,” Zora mumbled, taking her hand. It was clear as crystal how flustered he and Nebra were right now.
The Bulls were still too stunned to make comments right now, not to mention to tease Zora.
“Wait!” Noelle suddenly yelled, angrily pointing at Vanessa and Zora. “I wanted to announce this to my siblings myself and all of you promised to keep the secret until then! You promised!”
“Noelle, I already knew before Vanessa had to make this promise to you,” Nozel replied, sounding somehow tired.
“That’s true,” Vanessa added with a not-so-sorry smile. “I actually told him that you were head over heels for Asta long before you both even got together.”
“And I saw you both kissing at that award ceremony a few weeks ago. Due to circumstances” Nebra said, flicking her hand, trying and failing to sound sure of herself.
“Oh, that was our first kiss,” Asta said innocently.
“That explains why you looked so… Nevermind. Well, I was together with Zora for a week already back then, so…”
“Yeah, Little Miss Royal here told me then, so the promise came a bit too late for me to take.”
“Oh.”
That was all Noelle could say.
“No way, seriously?” Yami groaned. “My squad is not the right place for your fricking triple royal romance drama!”
“Um, we didn’t choose to be all together at the same place and at the same time, we had no idea,” Nebra mumbled, discreetly trying to get behind Zora.
“Why are you even here, braids and Noelles sister?”
“Captain, be polite, her name is Nebra,” Noelle protested.
“You’re also not off the hook, Noelle.”
“What did I do now?”
“Just so you know, I didn’t choose to be here in the first place!” Nebra immediately replied, offended. “I just happened to lose a bet to my peasant and now, I have to spent the night here. Usually, we met up in my room-“
Zora swiftly put both of his hands on Nebras mouth, but of course, it was a bit too late.
“Wait, lady Nebra… you brought Zora… in your room… at the Silva palace?” Finral asked, while Noelle looked like she was about to faint. Everyone turned towards Nozel, waiting for the scolding.
Which didn’t came.
Instead, the captain of the Silver Eagles just let his free hand slowly glide down his face.
“Nebra, it would be highly wrong of me to scold you for… well, this. After all, I invited Vanessa at the palace a lot of times as well.”
Silence.
“WHAT?”
Vanessa just smiled.
“Okay, it seems to me that the both of you don’t appreciate our hideout as you should,” Yami said menacingly at Zora and Vanessa. “Tomorrow, you will-“
“No, they won’t,” Charlotte interrupted him firmly.
“Prickly Princess, I know how to handle my dumbasses.”
“They won’t do your punishment, because in that case, you’ll have to do it too, by your logic. Shall I remember you that I invited you at my place plenty of times and that you enjoyed it?”
“Dang it… why do you have such a grip on me, Prickly Princess? You hurt my delicate little heart here.”
“Delicate?” Nozel asked, stunned.
“Oy, Braids, don’t you dare say anything insulting about what I just said! And this applies to the rest of you as well!”
“I won’t… Given the grip Vanessa has on me…”
The two captains just looked at each other blankly. With maybe a glint of understanding.
“A lot is happening tonight,” Nero said, sounding like she was stating a fact.
“Too much. All those, well, surprises are giving me a headache,” Finral whimpered, rubbing his temples. “At this point, I will be not that surprise if another captain would appear all of a sudden as well. Or Solid Silva, while we’re at it.”
“Solid is not interested in romance in general and I highly doubt that he’s here too,” Nebra just shrugged, flicking her hand.
“That would be too much,” Noelle mumbled, only slowly recovering from the shock that two of her siblings not only know about her and Asta, but are also dating two of her squadmates.
“So, Zora, how do you find the Silva palace?” Vanessa asked with a smirk. It was difficult to say if she was cheery like usual or if she just tried to hide how flustered she maybe was. “I know mostly Nozels room and private bathroom, but I love it nonetheless. Oh, and the flower garden is amazing too. No wonder Silvas are so good at flower language.”
“Wait, he showed you the Silva flower garden?” Noelle asked in pure disbelief. After all, this flower garden had been the sanctuary of their mother and knowing Nozel, he would never invite some random person to visit that particular place of their castle.
“Oh my god, brother! You really are serious about her!” Nebra exclaimed, while pointing at Vanessa.
“Just because he showed her a flower garden?” Gauche asked.
“I never saw it with my own eyes, but I heard that it is the most beautiful flower garden in the kingdom of Clover,” Charlotte said.
“What is so special about flowers, anyways?” Magna groaned, only to be threaten again by Yami.
“Listen well, kiddo, I don’t care that braids showed Vanessa his fricking bloomy garden, but my prickly princess here has a high respect for flowers, so don’t insult her, got it?”
“Sir, yes, sir.”
“Yami, please, let him go!”
“Well, I haven’t seen much but Nebras room and her bathroom,” Zora answered, rubbing the back of his head. “I don’t complain about it most of the time, but,” he started snickering, finding again some smugness, “my Little Miss Royal here is not the soundest sleeper. I lost count about how many times I woke up on her carpet because she kicked me out of bed while she was asleep. Or how many times I woke up because she was hugging me like a plushie.”
“Hey, why are you blurting my darkest secrets to everyone? You don’t have my permission!”
“I don’t need your permission and you have darker secrets than your fucked up sleeping habits. Consider this a punishment for jumping out of my room like, revealing your true darkest secret – you being with a pestering peasant – to my whole squad and your siblings, plus another squad captain.”
“It was taking too long and I needed my plushie!”
“Come on, I gifted you a titanic plushie at your birthday, you could have took that one!”
“It’s in my bedroom at the palace, so I couldn’t! And even if I had, you know that you’re always my first plushie choice!”
“Wonder why, you always complain that I’m too bony to hug and that I talk way too much for a plushie!”
“Still my first choice! And don’t you say that you don’t love it to be hugged!”
“I prefer being hold like a fricking boyfriend, not like a fricking plushie!”
“Um, are they flirting or arguing? I can’t tell,” Magna mumbled, unsure.
“When are they going to fight?” Luck asked with enthusiasm.
“So… Zora gifted her that giant white tiger plushie I saw in her room during my last visit?” Noelle asked, looking at Nozel, who just looked so done at this point. Vanessa hugged him with compassion.
“Oh, don’t be so surprised,” Nebra told them with a flick of her hand. “Zora and I realized that insults seems to be our love language.”
“Is that even possible?” Asta asked, frowning.
“Well, as my girlfriend just said, it is possible, little bro-in-law.”
“Little… But Zora, neither of us are married with Noelle and Nebra, how can we already be brothers-in-law? And don’t call me little!”
“Sorry, but at this point, it’s like we’re already in-laws. And you’re smaller and younger than me, so you’re a lil’ bro-in-law.”
Zora didn’t say that given how most nobles and royals were, how classes were still important, how rumours could hurt more than they should, marrying their beloved won’t be an easy task. People would be against them, refusing to understand and trying to get them apart. And he knew that every Silva sibling present and the three who were dating one of said Silva siblings knew that, even an idiot like Asta.
But that wasn’t a discussion for now, in the middle of the night and of other Black Bulls. It was a discussion the three Silva couples would better have in small circle, with only the six of them.
And it probably wouldn’t be so funny and embarassing as that very scene right there.
“Geez,” Yami groaned, clearly so done with all of this. “Listen, before you plan some triple royal wedding-“
“It’s too early for that!” six voices yelled.
“-let me remind you that it’s the middle of the night and that you’re all lucky that my prickly princess is here, otherwise I would ground everyone present and make all of you sleep in their own room! But since Charlotte is here, I can’t do that, otherwise we both would have a fight right here and now, which would be impossible to make it future Yami’s problem. And yes, I would have asked Henry to make two separate bedrooms for the royal guests here.”
“That won’t have been necessary,” Vanessa pouted, hugging Nozel tightly. “I don’t like sleeping alone now that I have my Little Eagle.”
“And I still need my favourite plushie to sleep!”
Nozel and Zora both just sighed.
“What would captain have done if captain Charlotte weren’t present?” Asta asked quietly.
“Maybe he would have not be so flustered like he is now and he would have fun embarrass my brother,” Noelle whispered back.
“What was that, you brats?”
“Nothing, sir, sorry!”
“Can’t we change the subject, please?” Finral asked, flustered and done at the same time. “Or even better, going back to sleep? There’s a squad captains meeting tomorrow at noon and now I will have to escort three captains to that, not to mention-“
“Don’t worry, Finral,” Yami replied, suddenly all smug. “At least, my prickly princess will use an escort, Braids and I will-“
SMACK!
“Ouch! What was that for, prickly princess?”
“Whatever you were going to say… Don’t. Do. It.”
Yami groaned, but actually kept quiet.
“Woah, she really has a grip on him,” Asta said.
“Before you start teasing, dumbass, remember that the same applies for Noelle and you.”
“But, captain Yami sir, I never wanted to tease you, I swear!”
“Don’t lie.”
“I don’t!”
“La, what is all the fuss about? Don’t tell me you have all a midnight meal without me?”
Everyone present turned to see to Charmy coming towards them, the only Black Bull who wasn’t present until now. Except Nacht, but he wasn’t even in the Hideout tonight. Like usual, of course.
Two things were unusual with Charmy, though. Firstly, she was in her big form. Oh, she had learned to switch between her two forms, but she still stay mostly in the little version.
And secondly, she wasn’t alone…
“What is the captain of the Aqua Deer doing here?” Magna asked, totally dumbfounded.
“Great, now I have to escort four captains tomorrow,” Finral sighed, resigned with his Fate.
Charmy looked at Rill who came behind her, flustered and smiling awkwardly, before she turned towards the rest, announcing, “Oh, he’s my boyfriend, la. Did I forgot to tell you?”
“BOYFRIEND?”
“I thought Charmy told you already,” Rill said with an awkward smile.
“Wait, Glowing Hair,” Yami replied, stunned and menacingly at the same time, “you date Charmy, is that why you acted with sick familiarity with me lately?”
“Why, yes? You’re basically her dad and I hoped you’ll approve of me for Charmy. She already met my mother, who loved her immediately, as well as Walter, and she became so popular within my squad. My squad members even asked me if when we’ll have a party with the Black Bulls to celebrate our relationship. Um… that was to bold to ask, wasn’t it?”
“Celebrate?” Yami repeated, now completely dumbfounded. Charlotte hugged him with compassion.
“Then we should invite the Blue Roses and Silver Eagles as well, we can now have even more friends,” Gordon said, looking thrilled by this perspective.
“Oh, why that?” Rill and Charmy asked.
“Because captain Yami is dating captain Charlotte, Vanessa is obviously happy with captain Nozel and Zora is with Noelle’s sister.”
Rill and Charmy only realized that there weren’t only Black Bulls present in this corridor.
“Oh, really? Yami Charlotte, congratulations!” Rill said with excitement. “It was really about time that you get together. Oh, this means that I won my bet! William suggested me to bet on you two already be together.”
“Well, he was the only one who knew about Yami and me…”
“Nozel, you too, congratulations! It’s a surprise, really, you with Vanessa, but I’m really happy for you both!”
“Thank you, captain Rill! And congratulations for you and Charmy,” Vanessa said cheerfully, while Nozel only nodded.
“Thank you very much! Oh, you both look so beautiful together, I may paint a picture of you one day!”
Nozel and Vanessa just looked at each other, unsure how to react to that compliment, if it was one.
“Honeybun, I prefer when you paint food, you know, la.”
“Don’t worry, Cutie Pie, I will still paint all kind of delicious food for you. You’re my biggest inspiration.”
“I know that, la!”
“Of course those two would have food as their love language,” Gauche groaned.
“Oh, I shall congratulate Zora and lady Nebra as well.”
“Thanks, but no painting of us!”
“Captain Rill,” Nero said, “Asta and Noelle are also a couple.”
“Oh, really?” Rill exclaimed, immediately shaking Astas hands. “Congratulations, you two! Ah, this is really amazing, Asta! Maybe we should have a double date one day.”
“Yeah, that would be nice,” Asta replied, smiling widely. Noelle just hide her face behind her hands, complaining that it was so impossible to have some privacy at the Black Bulls hideout. Nebra awkwardly put a hand on her little sisters head, in a rare attempt to comfort her.
“For fuck’s sake!” Yami finally yelled, making almost everyone flinch. Charlotte still hold him firmly, though.
“Seriously, what’s with all the sleepovers all in one night at my base? I accept my prickly queen, of course, but the rest? Don’t tell me this was all really a coincidence and not some kind of conspiracy!”
“Alright captain Yami, we won’t tell you,” Vanessa replied, holding her boyfriend firmly.
Charlotte went on her tiptoes and whispered something in Yamis ear, which made him sigh with resignation.
“Fine… You’re all really lucky that Charlotte is here, fellas, or else. Well, while we’re at it, does anyone else hiding someone for a sleepover? We better get all cats out of the bag at this point.”
“Um,” Finral interjected, “does it have to be of romantic nature?”
“Nope, would be a nice change with all those stupid night surprises.”
“Okay, then. Langris, you can come out!”
Finrals brother came now out of his room, wearing one of Finrals pyjamas and his hair not styled at all. Given the uncertain and half-amused glance he gave everyone, Langris must have heard everything.
“Oh, hello there, Finrals little brother!” Vanessa said with a giggle, waving at Langris.
“Um, good evening, Black Bulls… and Silver Eagles and Aqua Deer. And congratulations to the present couples, I guess.”
“Why, thank you, that’s so nice to say!”
“Vanessa, he said I guess, which means that he’s not sure,” Gauche groaned, putting a hand on Greys head, before he turned to Langris, “What the hell are you doing here?”
“Finral gave me sanctuary for the night,” Langris just replied.
“You have to know, my stepmother organized a tea party today, that is basically… a matchmaking ball. Since Finesse is going to marry me and not my brother in the end, she wanted to give him a much bigger wedding ceremony than the one planned for me. But for that he needs a betrothed… and Langris isn’t clearly on board for this project.”
“Not at all, to be precise.”
“Right. So, I invited him to stay with me for the night. This is, um, okay, I hope. Right captain Yami?”
“Finral, you’re lucky that I always need my wheels and that I have I very good reason to not argue, this night,” Yami groaned, pointing at Charlotte who just sighed.
“Captain Yami, can we please inviting Rills butler for breakfast, tomorrow morning?” Charmy asked out of the blue.
“What, another one, really? This base is not an inn, for fucks sake!”
“But Walter makes such divine waffles and they would be perfect for breakfast!”
“Of course there’s a food reason. Fine then. But don’t make a habit out of it!”
“Yes!” Charmy squealed in happiness, before happily taking Rills hand and going back to her bedroom.
The rest just stood silent and awkwardly in the hallway in front of Yamis room.
A few seconds past like that, maybe one minute, before the captain of the Black Bulls was once and for all fed up.
“Okay, everyone just go back to their rooms and they can take their sweethearts if they want, I don’t care!”
“You only say that because you don’t want captain Charlotte to sleep in another room, captain Yami?” Asta asked innocently.
“Watch out what you’re saying, dumbass.”
There was some more awkward silence, until Nozel sighed deeply and to everyone surprises, pulled Vanessa up to carry her bridal style.
“Well, good night, everyone,” Vanessa said with glee, obviously enjoying that Nozel was carrying her. “We’ll see each other at breakfast.”
Nozel only nodded, before turning around and leaving the hallway. The rest heard Vanessa sigh and saw her snuggling her head against his neck.
Nebra and Noelle especially looked surprised but fondly at their brother carrying his girlfriend away until he disappeared, before turning towards Zora and Asta respectively.
“Don’t even think about it, Little Miss Royal.”
“Well, you’re lucky that I’m tired right now and that I’m not a romantic in general.”
With that, Nebra took Zoras and dragged him back into his room. Noelle was still looking at Asta.
“You’re not that tired, right Noelle? You can walk on your own?”
“Argh, why are still so oblivious even after we got together, stupid Dorksta!”
Noelle walked away, semi-offended, while it suddenly made click in Astas head as he ran after her.
“Wait, Noelle! Why didn’t you say you wanted that in a romantic way? Is it really okay for you? I can still do it, wait for me! No, no water ball!”
“Alright, prickly princess, time to go to bed,” Yami finally said while taking Charlotte over his shoulder, as she was a bag of potatoes.
“Yami, why are you only openly caring and romantic when we’re all alone?” the captain of the Blue Roses asked, pouting and crossing her arms.
“Because you’re the only one who has the privilege to see that side of me, prickly princess.”
Charlotte blushed as Yami laughed loudly, before they both disappeared in his bedroom, knocking the door shut.
The rest of the Bulls and Langris still stand awkwardly before one by one finally went back in their own rooms. To be noted, Gauche took Grey with him.
“Well, I didn’t except that for our, well, first brother sleepover,” Finral said with an apologetic smile, as he and Langris were back in his room.
“This is the Black Bulls hideout, it was to be expected,” Langris replied, sitting on the mattress which was on the floor. “Thank for giving me sanctuary, brother. I don’t think I could have handled my mother’s matchmaking tea party. One day, I’ll invite you over at the Golden Dawn’s base, as a repay.”
“You don’t need to repay me, but I would love to spent the night at a more calmer squad one day,” Finral replied. “So, about the Silvas… you actually stood calm. I’m really proud of you, Langris.”
“I was in shock, honestly. That helped to give a calm impression. But honestly, the fact that lord Nozel, lady Nebra and lady Noelle are with people out of their circles would be a relief for the both of us. I just don’t know how he would react, about them with Black Bulls. He is still pretty difficult, you know.”
“He’s with you, so he’ll come around, I’m sure of it. But maybe it’s time that both of you finally tell them about your relationship.”
“After tonight, it’s only a matter of time before he learns. I need to get him more or less ready for the news of his siblings. But you know Solid and the Silvas, it’s going to be an awkward disaster for everyone, no matter what we’ll do. At least, maybe I’ll have a good laugh.”
Langris snickered and Finral just sighed. With that state of mind, it would come back to bite his brother.

Hi Acacia!
I'm so happy to see you back here 💕
Anyway for the ship ask game I'd like to ask about Zora x Nebra and Finral x Vanessa. 😉
Hi Lola! Thank you so much for your ask and the welcome back. It's nice to be back, and I'm very excited to answer your ask. Thanks for sending it in and for playing! 💖
Zora x Nebra I honestly never thought about or would have thought about if not for the fandom. I'm not sure I can really imagine my personal perceptions of Zora and Nebra really getting along with each other seeing as they are so different as people and have such wildly different priorities and values, but if they did manage to come to appreciate, respect, and even admire their differences (as they do in some of the great fics I've had the pleasure to read about them 😊), then I could definitely support the ship. I can also see how the banter they might have would be fun and entertaining. I just personally don't have much of an opinion on it or any clear ideas on how it would happen or what their interactions with each other would be like, so I'd say I'm pretty neutral on this one personally, but I do see the appeal. ^^
Finral x Vanessa is a favorite pairing of mine for sure, though I also love them in a purely platonic sense as well. I did the big write up about them here, but to summarize, the Finral and Vanessa dynamic whether romantic or platonic has always been one of my favorite things in all of Black Clover. They just know each other so well, are so good for each other, and just care for each other so much and so deeply as friends. They're basically platonic soulmates in my opinion. For that reason, there is definitely a part of me that doesn't want to change the dynamic at all and doesn't want it to go to a romantic place. It is so beautiful and so healthy just as friendship and the world needs more examples of healthy, deep, and platonic relationships (and male-female friendships especially!), but... on the other hand, I'll admit imagining their friendship taking a more romantic turn someday is a huge guilty pleasure for me.
I'm usually not much into romance in fiction or in real life, but best friends to lovers (when it's done well) can really get to me, and in this particular case, I think, after everything Vanessa and Finral have both been through and suffered in their lives, it's just nice to imagine that they get to have a happy future and a relationship that's comfortable and easy with someone who really understands them—someone who is genuinely supportive and who truly sees them for who they are: both the good and the bad and who chooses to loves them anyway. 🩷💚
And I don't think it is completely impossible for them for find it with each other (even if it's definitely unlikely, especially now that Finral's history with Finesse has been established). While I do believe they are genuinely best friends (and not in any sort of "mutual pining" situation or something like that), the idea of them as a ship does make sense to me because I can imagine their relationship taking a more romantic turn under certain, specific circumstances (that take place way, way in the future after Finral does some serious soul-searching: learns to love himself, kicks that incessant flirting habit, builds confidence, and sorts out what it is that he actually wants, just to name a few things), and I can imagine a world where they could end up romantically interested in each other and happy together in that way, in a relationship that develops healthily and naturally by just building on that strong friendship foundation they already have kind of like the ‘icing on the cake’ of their already amazing bond. It's not impossible, I think, and I'll admit it is something I really enjoy thinking about and sometimes exploring in my fics.
They are definitely in the "guilty pleasure ship" category, but I do think it makes sense (to an extent) and it's extremely compelling for me and one of my favorite canon character x canon character pairings in Black Clover.

*Sometime in the future, Silvas having breakfast*
Noelle: Something feels off.
Vanessa: I’m up before 11?
Nebra: I didn’t say anything rude yet?
Zora: I didn’t try yet to steal my wife’s beacon?
Solid: I’m the only one at this table who’s single?
Nozel: Where is Asta?
Everyone: ...
Noelle: How many times did I told him that the palace DOESN’T have any Magical Beast he needs to feed?
*Somewhere in the palace*
Asta: I feel like I forgot something...

Zora x Nebra for the ship game, their dynamic is so 🤩❤️‍🔥😎
Just-a-little-fan you just know who to ask me about 😂
Zora x Nebra -> doesn’t make sense, compels me so much
So for the making sense part I’ve read a post made by @the-black-bulls and I agree that this would kind of go against Zora’s conviction. Nebra’s about peasants as well.
However and hear me out they do compel me a lot!
I’ve made an art for them, I have a story planned for them in Paper Hearts and I’m currently reading an amazing fic the Agreement by @f-oighear. I love their cracks ship dynamic so much. They are a mess, they are a disaster, but how great they are together. They’re also very funny <3
I do think that there needs to be some outside input for them to actually start interacting. However once they will and if Nebra goes through character development (she does in Paper Hearts), I think that the attraction will win.
Also there are so many gorgeous arts for them and that’s how I actually got to love this ship. Casually stumbling upon them and then thinking “yeah they would fit my fic”, so another one of my pre-tumblr ships. And i did grow to like them more as I came up with a plot for them. (this is going to be so funny, but in the right time)

Nebra x Zora are in a café, ordering a smoothie with a funny side dish, please^^
Aww Zorbra, the fandom favourite crack ship ^^ I tried to make it funny, but it ended up being mostly Zora teasing Nebra, hope it's funny enough ^^'
Pairing: Zorbra (Zora x Nebra) Genre: Smoothie (comedy/funny) Warnings: Nebra being Nebra (does... that count?) otherwise none Length: ~0.83k Fanfic type: Oneshot
Tumblr media
A cafè... Nebra thought to herself with a slight frown. When she had agreed on a date at a location picked by Zora, she had expected him to pick something like a ... park of a field for a picnic. Places that would be... well, they weren't exactly fit for royalty, but even royals did enjoy picnics. Granted that said picnics were different from those of commoners.
There was bitterness in her thoughts, but if she was completely honest with herself, she did go to cafés herself too. Only that those cafès were different from the one she was now going to. This was more... casual. And it was very public, in the sense that anyone close enough to eavesdrop on their conversation and start spreading the wildest of rumours.
Though... it's not like nobles wouldn't do that too, she had to admit while arriving in.
The places was decorated with pastels, soft and delicate items; it didn't look like a place that Zora would pick.
Speaking of him, where is he? He didn't pick me up from the headquarters like a proper gentleman. Though I don't want the Eagles sticking their noses in my business. Aren't any of the servants going to usher me in?
"Hiya doll."
Nebra turned around to see Zora strolling in with his hands in his pockets.
"Hey. Why aren't they showing me in? Why weren't you waiting for me? And didn't you-"
"Hey, hey, tone down on the third degree," he said while rubbing the back of his head. "First, they're not showing you in 'cause you can pick your table by yourself. Second, I thought you said that you didn't want me picking you up from the Silver Eagles' headquarters?"
Nebra looked away since he caught her on her own words. And she didn't think about just... taking a seat. She wasn't used to that kind of.. lack of service.
"Let's pick a table, shall we?" Zora said before looking over to the cafè. "Maybe from next to the window?" He suggested while pointing to a booth in the corner.
Nebra agreed to the suggestion with a nod, and something that Zora could swear as a faint blush. But he swallowed the faint chuckle that he nearly let out.
"I hear this place is famous for smoothies," Zora said out loud as they strolled towards the table.
"Well... I guess we should try it, if it's the best this place has..." she said, trying to sound confident through the blush.
"Mhm," Zora hummed as they sat down. He could see through the act she was putting up in an effort to hide the fact that she was nervous. Not that she'd ever admit it.
She was scratching the back of her neck while sitting at the booth, looking outside as the blush still lingered.
"Dry skin?" He suggested, making Nebra lower her hand down.
"No," she only muttered with a faint pout.
"Or then could it be..." he started while reaching closer to her, over the table.
"What are you-?"
"This must be it," he pulled his hand back with a coin in his hand. "You had a coin tucked behind your ear," he smirked, as if he really had pulled a coin from behind her ear.
"Hey!" She said. "I don't-, I... how did you do that? I didn't feel any surge of mana," she admitted.
"And I'm pretty sure that you would have," he smirked again. "I just got nimble hands."
"Pretty sure," she commented.
"Pretty sure," he grinned.
"Getting quite bold, aren't you," she grinned, as if to mirror his.
"I've got to be, don't I?" He shrugged as the smirk still lingered.
She let out an amused huff with a feigned roll of her eyes. Feigned because he did have a point. He wouldn't be dating her if he wasn't bold.
"Hello," greeted a waiter who just approached the table with a smoothie with two straws. "A couple smoothie for the happy couple, on the house!" She said while putting it down onto the table.
"Thanks," Zora thanked while Nebra just looked at the smoothie.
"Probably are after recommendations from royalty."
"Oh come on, take a good thing when offered," he said while twirling one of the straws between his fingers. The straw that was on her side of the glass. "Come now doll face," he smirked again with a glimmer in the corner of his eye.
Her eyes flickered around for a moment, she tensed a took a deep breath as the blush intensified.
"O..kay," she uttered while leaning forward and taking a sip through the straw, as Zora leaned in too and took a sip from his own straw.
His face was so close to hers that she could feel his warmth through the air.
But the thing was.... that she smiled. She didn't want to pull away.
He might have been... irritating, at times, but he tried to make her smile. And... he did.

Are headcanons about one character okay? If so, can request about how Solid would react about Vanzel, Astelle and Zobra? I mean, just imagining how his siblings are each one with someone non-noble and non-royal is actually kinda pretty funny to me XD
Hiya anon! Of course asking for one character is alright, I used to only get requests for one character but these days I tend to get multiple (which is fine 🥰!). I hope you enjoy~!
Solid:
Tumblr media
• Solid would sit there and question how in the world he is the only single person in the family!
• I mean, if Nebra of all people found someone surely Solid should be able to??
• He would be happy to see his siblings happy and in love, they all deserve it after the things they’ve gone through.
• Although I don’t think he would be too happy at first that they’re all dating commoners and peasants!
• He would give Asta, Zora, and Vanessa a hard time when he first saw them. He would say stuff about him thinking his siblings deserved to be with people worthy of their standing (aka nobles/royals).
• But would quickly shut up after Nozel, Nebra, and Noelle defended their S/O’s. He would be surprised by their reactions since they all used to be judgy about commoners and royals like him.
• Seeing how fiercely his siblings defended them and seeing the looks in their eyes and on their faces made him realize that they *really* loved and cared about their S/O’s.
• Solid would be embarrassed about his assumptions and would quietly apologize to everyone. He would admit to seeing how much better their S/O’s make his siblings and that he’s happy for them.
• But would still lament about how he was the only single one and that it didn’t make sense!
• When his siblings would leave he would watch them happily while silently asking Acier if she was proud and happy for them too.
