Meow :3

4. I currently only write for all characters in Twisted Wonderland, including the side characters, I might start writing for other fandoms one day however.

5. Please don’t expect the most phenomenal writing out of me, I’m still a beginner as I’ve only written two actual fics before.

6. Have fun and don’t be afraid to ask :)

Sebek

Sebek barely likes anyone touching him, besides Malleus, and he makes that pretty clear, so the fact that you keep leaning against him whenever you’re next to each other is pretty bold.

He constantly nudges you off, yammering about how inappropriate your shameless displays of affection are, but you can’t help but notice he doesn’t shove you as he would anyone else. You watch him shove people away from him all the time, though to be fair, most of those times people were actually bothering him.

This made you realize that Sebek doesn’t outright hate physical touch, he’s just shy, so you continue casually leaning up against him. Sebek still complains that you’re being too casual, but slowly, he stops nudging you off, and instead treats your affection as a sign of trust. He’d never admit it, but it makes him feel warm inside. You know this however, he leans against you too when you’re alone.

Lilia

Lilia’s already a physically touchy person, so when you start casually looping your arm around his, he squeezes it and leans his head against your shoulder, increasing the affectionate by tenfold.

Poking, squishing, patting, or just simple hugs become a minutely occurrence between you both, not being able to keep your hands to yourselves. Though you do it more subconsciously, Lilia knows you’re more affectionate towards him more than anyone else, and he thinks it’s just the sweetest thing.

Cater

Cater saw this trend on magicam, and IMMEDIATELY saw an opportunity to gain more likes, followers, and a new memory with one of his favorite people. So he went all around the school, and when he found you, he set his phone down against a tree and hit record.

You casually greet Cater as he walks up to you, asking him about how his day went, and Cater damn near went insane. At least in your perspective, he was screaming and hollering like he was being possessed, and you were so confused since nothing you said warranted that.

“And…you just walked the prank!”, Cater said as he suddenly calmed down as if nothing happened. But you don’t know what was worse, the fact that you were actually concerned about him, or the fact he’s taking one liners off shows from your world.

Leona

Ever since a couple weeks ago, when you started obnoxiously cackling at an offhanded comment he made about Malleus, Leona’s been secretly thinking of cackling at you the same way to see how you like it. And today’s the day he’s finally going to do it.

You walked into Leona’s dorm room, wanting to snuggle in and nap on his bed, since he’s got soft pillows and a warm blanket. Unfortunately for you, Leona’s not letting you get anything close to a nap. As soon as you start to drift off, he starts cackling at you the same way you cackled at him.

“You think you can just get all cozy up in MY bed!?”, he yells as he leans over you from the other side, “You’ve got another thing coming, herbivore!”, he continues making a scene while you’re just staring at him all dazed and confused.

Vil

Since you wanted to do it to him, he was going to do it back. Vil was going to get you back for the whole ‘laughing at his secrets’ thing, and show you how to obnoxiously laugh properly. He’s NRC’s resident actor, so of course he had to be the one to teach you.

Both of you were in Pomefiore’s lounge, chatting over tea. The topic switched over to you two telling each other secrets again, and Vil started to grin evilly…in his head, so he doesn’t give himself away. As soon as you admit to falling off stage during your elementary school graduation, he genuinely can’t help it.

“Oh ho ho, [Name], you’re so-…”, he trails off as he starts doing the rich people laugh again, the one he usually does, but he’s actually laughing. Not faking, not being malicious, but true amusement. While you’re pouting at him, Vil actually starts to snort, which is something he only lets happen around you.

Rook

Rook was going on his daily hunt around the school, watching the students interact with each other. Not creepily, he just loved people watching and seeing their reactions to certain things. You just so happen to be his favorite person to watch, which also means you’re his favorite person to get reactions out of.

He saw you sitting with your friends in the cafeteria and decided to sneak up on you. Much to Rook’s delight, you’ve developed some sort of sixth sense to know when he was walking up to you, he felt so proud. When you leaned up and kissed him on the cheek as a greeting, he started giggling madly as if it tickled.

“Ah, Trickster, you’re such a silly one aren’t you?”, he says in between giggles, even if you did tickle him, there’d be no reason for him to be laughing for this long. Eventually, you had to escort him out because your friends kept looking more terrified by the minute.

Idia

You and Idia were in his dorm room lying down and eating snacks, watching funny videos on his tablet again. This time, you guys were watching some compilations of decade old, cringy comic dubs from a anime you both recently got into.

It was just small giggles from both of you at first, making fun of the bad voice acting, and the way the heads were weirdly drawn. Eventually you couldn’t take it anymore, and start loudly gasping for air and repeated slamming your hand on the floor. You looked so stupidly cute doing that, that Idia couldn’t hold in his laughter anymore either.

“Dude! What are you punishing the floor for!? It’s not the one who had that massive voice crack!”, Idia laughs wildly, not even as a prank, just genuinely being himself. He feels comfortable enough around you that he’ll laugh as goofily as he wants and won’t care. Idia knows you’re not gonna judge him, so you guys just laugh and laugh till one of you starts chocking and nothing’s funny anymore.

Malleus

Malleus was in his room writing another letter to you. It’s become your little thing since he can’t use the phone very well, but you don’t mind. As he was writing, he starts to think about your laugh, specifically when you start laughing so hard you sound like a near empty windex bottle.

He was thinking that maybe you only laugh that way to amuse him. Or perhaps to prank him, since you are quite playful at times. Malleus then started to think about pranking you back, you’ve already pranked him quite a lot to be fair. He later pops up outside of Ramshackle’s door, and just starts making weird noises reminiscent of a laugh.

“Hello there, Child of Man…”, Malleus says in between making his weird sounds. The noises are so strange that if you didn’t see the side of his stupid, smiling face out the window, you would’ve thought he was choking. When you don’t come out immediately to greet him, Malleus stops and says, “It’s just a prank, Dear Prefect, do not be alarmed.”, thinking he scared you.

Lilia

You were just leaving class, minding your business and not expecting anymore chaos for the day. Not that there was any in the first place, aside from getting swindled out of your lunch money again, today’s been pretty chill. But a certain fae was about to change that.

Lilia was plotting ever since the period started, he literally lived through what was being taught in class, so he didn’t really have to pay much attention. Which meant he spent all period mentally preparing to ambush you, and just start laughing his ass off for no particular reason at all. And that’s exactly what he does when he poofs right in front of you in the hallway.

“Beastie, today’s lesson was quite a riot wasn’t it!?”, Lilia manically laughs at the top of his lungs, which makes you and everyone else think that his time had finally come. You try to calm him down by blindly agreeing, though you don’t know what part of the lesson could’ve POSSIBLY been that funny, and rub his back to try and soothe him somehow before someone puts him out of his misery.

It’s been months since your falling out, and neither of you are willing to budge, you being stubborn and sick of his rudeness, and him being a coward. The whole argument started when you and Idia were on call with each other, and the topic of Minecraft came up. You guys were in between playing different games, and were trying to find another one to play. Idia was immediately on board and started to go on about how he loves survival mode, saying how rewarding it is when you finally finish the game.

You however didn’t even know you could beat the game, you didn’t do much besides build cute little houses, raise animals, and explore the world. After Idia was done with his speech, you tell him that and he goes radio silent. You wait for a moment, thinking that maybe the internet is just cutting in and out, but then you quickly remember that Idia literally lives in Ignihyde, so you ask if he’s okay. A few more moments pass until Idia breaks the silence, sounding absolutely livid. At least to you at least, Idia claims that he was just ‘joking around’, and you know he just gets excited sometimes.

But there’s a fine line between just being excited and being downright cruel. And that’s what Idia didn’t realize till it was too late. You were his friend, one of his only friends at that. You didn’t deserve to be called a normie for not knowing all the obscure lore. You didn’t deserve to be called a wimp or a loser for only playing in creative peaceful mode. And you definitely didn’t deserve to have your intelligence insulted over the fact you didn’t know what ‘The End’ was.

Those comments, despite being lighthearted from Idia’s perspective, cut deep within you. And as he just continued to make all these harsh comments about you, you couldn’t say anything back. Too shocked to even process the fact that this was your friend, your own gamer buddy, the one person who doesn’t judge you if you start rambling on about niche media you like was saying those things to you. This goes on for about ten minutes, and Idia only stops when he hears sniffling from your end. Idia was going to ask what was wrong, but then you took your chance to go off on him, asking what did you ever do to him to warrant comments like that. And Idia just gets confused and annoyed, saying that you’re taking him too seriously.

This spiraled into a huge long argument filled with disagreements. It wasn’t even about Minecraft anymore, it was about how friends should treat each other. You told Idia that he wasn’t acting like a friend when he was just spewing out hurtful insults for ten minutes straight, but he tried to defend himself by saying you know that’s just something he does when he’s comfortable. You tell him that you know, and it’s usually fun when the two of you bicker over silly things, but he took it way too far this time. Idia just calls you a baby and gives you a half-assed apology, which just caused you to silently end the call.

Idia didn’t really care at first, thinking that you were just taking some kind of frustration out on him, and that you’d be back to normal tomorrow. So he just starts to play some PC games on his own, until it’s past midnight and he decides to go to bed. But a he can’t fall asleep. His mind suddenly started to replay the argument in 4k with full volume, and after a while, he realized that he fucked up big time. All your points were finally registered in his brain, and he realized he was being a huge jerk. This wasn’t a mistake that you guys would laugh and reminisce on next week, this was potential friendship ending disaster, and it all started because he forgot that you were his closest friend, and not some random online.

Fast forward back to today, and the argument is still replaying in his head months later. You and Ortho play games together and get along great. He and Ortho play together and get along great. Ortho urges Idia to apologize properly to you every time he notices him get a little sad about it, but Idia always replies with something along the lines of ‘a S tier asshole like me’. Ortho also asks you about Idia sometimes when you guys are on call together, but you always get a little annoyed and change the subject. Little do the brothers know that you think about Idia all the time. Not just about the argument, but also about the fun times you shared just being goofy and having fun, you missed it.

Which is why one day, you couldn’t take it any longer and texted Ortho ‘I miss my ex’ randomly in the middle of a conversation about lost media. Ortho jokingly asks is your ex a piece of lost media too, then you explain that you were talking about Idia, your ex friend and his big brother. He gets super happy at the news and texts you that he’s been waiting for this day, and he’d be happy to get you two to reconnect again. You ask how since you assume Idia would be too bitter, or too embarrassed to talk to you, but Ortho just giggles mischievously and tells you wait.

Idia then gets a notification in his phone, which he was just going to swipe up and ignore since it was interrupting his Cookie Run grinding time. But just before he swiped, he noticed that the notification said that he was added to a group chat with you and Ortho. He was confused at first since he thought you blocked him on everything, and was too scared to find out whether he was right. And the fact you NEVER text his number, you used to call all the time, but only texted him through dms on apps and websites was also weird. Despite something feeling off, he went to his messages app and texted ‘Hey’, then screamed into his sleeve at how cringe that was. Ortho just types ‘Bye :D’ and removes himself from the group chat, leaving you alone with Idia.

Not wanting to make this more awkward than you know it already will be, you text him, ‘Hi, Idia, I know we haven’t spoken a word to each other since that that argument, and I was pretty mad at the time. I still am really hurt by it, but I also miss you and hope you’re doing okay’

Idia blinks at the message, feeling a mix of relief, shame, and bashfulness that you still want to be friends with him after all this time and after all the horrible things he’s said. He hesitates on replying back out of anxiety, but he didn’t want to be without you anymore. He misses you too, and he doesn’t want to lose you again, so he responds with, ‘I’m doing fine, but I didn’t expect you to want that for me. You never got the proper apology you deserve from me, so if you’ll let me, I’ll tell you now’

You tell him to go on, but you’re shocked at how he’s acting texting like a normal person. Frankly, you were texting a little too properly as well, but Idia has his signature way or somehow managing to shorten and abbreviate every single word, even two letter ones. Now he wasn’t doing any of that, and you can only assume it’s because being friends with you again is very important to him.

Idia kept typing and deleting different apologies over and over again, until he finally settled on a long paragraph: ‘[Name], words can even begin to describe how much of a piece of garbage I was to you. If I could go back in time to stop myself from acting like that, I’d knock myself upside the head and delete all my game saves. It makes me feel even worse that you still like me after all that. I don’t know how or why, but I’m grateful and I’ll do anything to make it up to you. You’re not any less than me or anyone else just because you don’t know about some parts of a game, or play differently. And I’m so sorry for making you feel that way. You’re not some noob online, you’re my friend, maybe even my best friend, and you were right. Friends don’t treat each other the way I treated you, and I went too far.’

You stare at Idia’s apology for a good, long while, getting second hand embarrassment, butterflies, and teary eyed all at the same time. It takes you so long to process that Idia Shroud himself said THAT, that you forget to text back for two hours. You then scramble trying to come up with a good response, and the only thing you could think of was ‘LMAOOO’, so you sent that without thinking.

Idia’s Cookie Run grinding time gets interrupted once again, but he immediately clicks on the message when he sees it was you. But he’s absolutely bewildered with your response. Did you think he was joking?? Was he being too cringy?? Was this just a prank you and Ortho made to make him feel even more guilty?? He couldn’t muster up anything more than ‘?????’, staring at his screen in disbelief.

Knowing that you just ruined up the vibe, whatever it was, there was no going back and deleting that text, the time limit was up anyway. So you just say, ‘Sorry, I panicked, but thanks for the real apology this time. Wanna play that one two player tycoon on roblox we never finished?’

Idia was still stunned, even more so that now you’re just casually asking him to play a game with you?? No ‘I’m still gonna distance myself from you’ arc or nothing?? There’s definitely something wrong with you, but that’s why you two were friends. After a minute, he laughs and sends a thumbs up, then hops on roblox and waits to join you.

While you two played, neither of you called. Idia was too nervous to, and you didn’t exactly what to speak voice to voice with him after you stupidly texted ‘LMAOOO’ to his heartfelt apology. So you guys played in silence, typing in chat for a bit until everything both of you said kept coming out in tags. It was awkward, but familiar. Both of you knew it was going to be like this, it happens to everyone when they haven’t spoken to someone in a while. But it’s the first steps into rekindling the flame you once had, and you can’t think Ortho enough for helping you reunite with your mootie.

But little did your fans know, the love between you and Vil wasn’t just a meme, theory, or another page to put on shipping wiki, it was real. The two of you were absolutely smitten with each other.

If you guys weren’t so famous, you’d shout it out to the highest mountains, hold hands in public without fear or getting harassed, and wear the most fashionable couple outfits.

But, that’s just not the reality you two live in, so when you guys do get the courage to put in public as a couple, you do so in secret.

Sunglasses, hoodies, and fake names galore, today was going to be the first time you guys went on a date in months. Vil had gotten a reservation at a new cafe you’ve been wanting to try for a while.

The problem was that the cafe has been so insanely popular since the day it opened, Vil had to pay the owner off for you two to have a private date.

The cafe was in walking distance, and you also wanted to walk by Vil’s side and hold his hand, like the couple’s in the movies you’ve acted in.

As you two walked to the cafe, you tried not to speak or look at anyone directly, though some people gave you slight looks. But that was mostly because it’s summer and you guys are dressed for the middle of January.

The date itself went wonderfully, the meal you had was delicious and Vil also let you have a bite of his. Your conversations ranged from casual teasing, to flirting, and making downright ridiculous jokes.

You’re only person to get Vil to let of snorts when he laughs, but then he realizes he’s still Vil Schoenheit, despite whatever fact name he gave himself.

He ends up tipping all of the restaurant staff to not tell anyone about any ‘unsophisticated’ noises that came out of his mouth, while you giggle at his overdramaticness.

When you guys go home that night, before you part ways, you agree that you should go out more often, though you also know you won’t be able to do so freely anytime soon.

“I AM NOT RELATED TO MR. KRABS!??”, Azul shouts in shock and frustration that he’s somehow entertaining that theory in your head. “For one, I come from a long line of octopus merfolk, and SECONDLY…”, he tries to take a deep breath to calm down, but the sheer audacity you have to keep repeating this joke, and that he’s now behind on writing a soul-binding contract. “He is a FICTIONAL cartoon character from WHEREVER you’re from.”

You just keep giggling, not even bothering trying to hide it at this point, “Well, it’s not my fault you’re both greedy and treat your employees like crap.” Azul looks genuinely offended and slightly hurt by your words, “Oh, c’mon, you know I’m not that bad anymore! I’ve changed thanks to you...” You don’t really that you took the joke too far, or notice his vulnerability and just skip off, “Yeah, yeah, I’m gonna go bother the twins now!”

Rook

“Rook!”, you pop out from under the bench he was sitting on, hoping to spook him, but all you got was a delighted smile. “Ah, Mon amour, how lovely it is to see you!”, he reaches down and picks you up, sitting you right beside him, “I was wondering when you would decide to come out from under there.” You huff and look a little peeved at yourself, knowing that you knew better to try and scare him like that.

You scoot closer to Rook, and he happily holds your hand, thinking you’re just feeling a little off and just needed a calm space. But that couldn’t be further from the truth, you were trying to think of a way to piss him off. Usually, you don’t succeed and accidentally end up pissing off the people around you. You thought to yourself for a few more moments, then you gasp when you finally come up with something. “Ma chérie, are you feeling alri-…?” “Vil Schoenheit AND Neige LaBlanche have got to be the worst actors of all time!”

Now it was Rook’s turn to gasp, he even put a hand to his chest as if he were clutching his pearls. “There, I said it.”, you say calmly as if you didn’t just challenge his entire world view. Or at least you thought you did, you also should’ve known Rook wouldn’t have gotten mad at someone for saying that, especially not you of all people. He respects and is too curious of other people’s opinions to be truly upset over them. Besides, he knew it was a lie anyway since you and Vil are quite close thanks to him, but he decides to play along with your act for entertainment.

“You don’t truly think that, Mon belle, non non non…”, he shakes his head, acting heartbroken as if he couldn’t believe would say that. “You must be playing one of your little pranks again, you always were a trickster, but Vil is one of your best friends…”, he starts to smile mischievously, “Perhaps, we should have a movie marathon tonight, one filled with every movie Neige and Vil have been in, so you can see and understand the true beauty of their performances.” It seems now that Rook has flipped the table and started ragebaiting you, which by the deeply annoyed look on your face, he’s done so successfully. “We JUST had one two weeks ago!? Jeez, you gotta learn how to-…” And…he walked away, be at Pomefiore by seven.

Jade

“Jetsam…!”, you plop yourself down next to Jade on his bed, having barged in his room way past the school’s curfew, but to be fair, Floyd was also barging into Heartslabyul right now too. “Well, hello, My little spore.”, Jade grabs your hand and kisses the back of it, always loving your impromptu visits, and giving you silly nicknames in response to yours. Though, this wasn’t the response you wanted, it was adorable how soft he was with you. It wasn’t the time for admiring Jade’s cuteness, it was time to ragebait him.

Ragebaiting Jade was no easy task, you knew that with the way he hasn’t killed his twin yet, so you had to think of something to say that would ruin his mood. “[Name], do you plan on staying here for the night?”, Jade suddenly interrupts your thoughts, leaning his head on top of yours, “I have the fluffy blanket you like, it’s in my closet, you left it here last time.” “Sure, as long as you don’t get mad at me…”, you slowly say as you make up some bs to spew out in your brain. “Mad at you?”, Jade looked genuinely confused, “Mad at you for what, Dearest? I can’t think of anything for me to possibly be mad at you about.”

The earnestness in his eyes almost made you want to just stop with your foolishness, and lie down and cuddle with him, but you couldn’t. You just HAD to complete your mission. “Oh, well, I just needed to tell you that I found a mushroom outside of Diasomnia earlier, one of those weird blue looking ones you were talking about.” “Ah, the indigo milk caps I presume?” “Sure…anyway, I stepped on it.” “You what??”, Jade looked less angry like you wanted, and more concerned. “Did you just happen to not see it, I know mushrooms can sometimes be hard to see at first.”

“No, I saw it and I didn’t wanna look at it, so I stepped on it.”, you say blankly, hoping that would tick him off at least a little, knowing he had been fixated on indigo blue caps for a while now. But to your surprise, or maybe not since it does take a lot for Jade to get angry, he looked a little disappointed. “You should’ve called me beforehand, I’ve been meaning to test of the effects pressure has on mushrooms. Oh well, I’ll bring you along to my Mountain Lovers club meeting, so we can preform experiments together.” “Okay…?”, you look utterly baffled at how you trying to ragebait your boyfriend turned into date plans. “Excellent, now I hope you didn’t track any ooze in here, indigo milk caps are known to secrete liquid when split open, otherwise I’d be the one to have to clean it up.” You sigh and shake your head, maybe you should’ve found a mushroom to step on for real.

It doesn’t take much for you to cry either, whenever you’re stressed out about something, Azul will always be there to bring you somewhere safe so you can let all your feelings out.

In fact, Azul’s always been there for you, he gets you more that anyone else since he has big emotions too, and he encourages you not to hide them from him.

He loves to spoil you, not just because it makes you happy, but because he loves to watch you tail wag as you slip on another piece of jewelry.

Jade

You and Jade also have similar aesthetics, not in just in the way that you both dress on the fancier side, but also in the way you both look like you could kill someone in the blink of an eye.

You and your short temper and Jade and his ominous way of speaking, people always get wary around you.

It’s always been that way since the two of you were little, though back then most of your flare ups were due to being overwhelmed. You used to cry a lot during them, and Jade used to scare whoever was near, so you could have privacy.

Even now, he won’t hesitate to threaten anyone that gives you a hard time for being more emotional than most, he loves that part of you.

Jade tries to get you out of the mindset of being proper means ‘absolutely no dirt or sweat’, so he’ll also take you on picnics sometimes to get you used to it, since he loves the outdoors.

He also likes to take you to go sight see for mushrooms, he likes to spend time with you and watch your over the top reactions when a bug lands on you.

He’ll take you home immediately if he notices it’s too much for you, then he’ll do whatever you want to do afterwards, and he won’t stop trying to please you until your tail starts wagging.

Floyd

You and Floyd match energy so well, you may have different aesthetics, but you’re two sides of the same coin, and neither of you would have it any other way.

Sometimes you like to dress Floyd up in a fancy suit and tie, and in return for the ‘torture’, Floyd dresses you like a hot mess.

Sometimes you and Floyd’s emotions will sinc up So whenever you’re mad, he’s mad, whenever he’s stressed out, you’re stressed out, and whenever he just wants to slack off, you find yourself lazing around too.

This has always been the case since the two of you were in elementary school, and the both of you found it so refreshing that neither of you weren’t the only ones acting crazy.

It actually shocks people how similar you both are, he’s just less sane, and you’re just more prone to tears, which Floyd tells you to let out loudly. And if anyone’s got a problem with you expressing yourself, they’ll have to take it up with him.

Floyd loves making you happy, he could watch your tail wag forever and never get bored. He’ll do any to make you smile, whether that be just being silly or peppering you with kisses.

Watching your tail wag immediately brings him out of a bad mood, so if he’s pissed off, but you’re running at him full of happiness, he’ll quickly match your energy.

“And if there are no objections…”, a ghost starts to say as Eliza starts puckering up, and Idia starts silently praying that Hades himself would suddenly pop up and drag him to tartarus himself. “You may now kiss the bride-…” “I OBJECT!!”, you declare as you burst through the door. A chorus of gasps and groans ring in the room, some annoyed, some surprised, a few entertained. The groom’s was slightly relieved, and the bride looked like she was two seconds away from throwing a tantrum.

“Oh my Sevens!”, Eliza balls up her fists at her sides, “How many times do I have to say it!? I’m not interested in another suitor-…!” “What??”, you give Eliza a offended look, “Ew, no, I’m here for the groom!”, you pose with a wide stance with a hand on your hip, as you point dramatically at Idia. Again, a round of groans and gasps ring out, but this time, accompanied by a few claps and cheers. Eliza’s eyes practically bulged out of her head, and Idia almost melted on the spot. He probably would’ve if he wasn’t so frozen in fear, that his hair wasn’t flowing and swirling as fast as it usually would, the ends were pink though.

After a few seconds of silence, Eliza turns to Idia with a look of sincerity, dramatic, but real, “Darling, I had no idea…”, she sighs and puts the back of her hand to her forehead, “If I knew you had a partner, I would’ve tried settling for less.” Now it was Idia’s turn to widen his eyes, “SO ALL I HAD TO DO WAS-…?!”, he was then cut off by you picking him up bridal style, and he immediately wrapped his arms around your shoulders, both out of instinct, and just out of the joy of seeing you. “Thank you for being understanding, it’s hard having a boyfriend so attractive.”, you joke as if you’re not saving Idia from literal death.

“I’ve considered locking him in a basement and keeping him all to myself.”, you laugh as he pats Idia’s back, and he just gives you an appalled look in return. Not that he minds never going out again, but the way you said it with such nonchalance and with a slight hint of seriousness in your voice scares him a little. The others in the audience, both NRC students and ghosts alike can’t believe this was the outcome of the wedding, and more importantly how did that even work?? And why is Idia getting all the play right now??

As you were getting ready to carry Idia off into the moonlight, Eliza speaks up again, “Hey, before you both go…I was wondering if the two of you wanted to put all these wedding things to use.”, she smiles eagerly, if she wasn’t going to be part of a wedding, she might as well get to watch one. “I mean, it’s clear that you both have the Prince Charming thing going on, it’d be perfect!” “NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!!”, Idia almost screams as he aggressively pats your shoulder, “Don’t trust a SINGLE word she says, it’s a trap! Hurry up and get us out of here before she tries to murk you too!”, he buries his face in you neck, completely forgetting that a good amount of the NRC student body can still see him.

And with that command, you zoomed out of there, not bothering to say hello or goodbye to anyone, just focused on getting your boyfriend to safety, and giving him a much needed brain break. He probably needs to be left in front of his pc with some slice of life animes playing for three weeks after this. But right now, you just needed to get to Ignihyde and put the whole dorm on lockdown, neither of you were sure Ramshackle was safe anymore with all the ghosts lingering around. “I am NEVER getting married again!”, Idia says and you’re making your way to the magic mirrors. Not even to me…?”, you pout at him a little. “Fine…only to YOU and YOU only. You’re the only deranged lunatic I can handle in my life.”

The warmth of your two bodies pressed together, the rhythm of your heartbeat helping to slow his down, and your cute little snores.

Nowadays, whenever you don’t cuddle up to him at night, he assumes you’re upset or he’s done something wrong.

Leona

Lions naturally sleep in piles, so it wouldn’t be far off for lion beastfolk to fall asleep cuddling one another.

In fact, it was Leona who rolled over on top of you one day, then you just snuggled in, and it’s been that way ever since.

Leona does notice after a while that you prefer holding onto him and cuddling, rather than him sleeping on top of you, so he pays more attention.

He’ll pull you in rather than rolling onto you, or just placing you on top of him, he’ll just wrap an arm around your waist and let you do what you want.

Once Leona gets used to you cuddling him, he’s going to expect cuddles every night, so you should warn him in advance before you get in bed.

If not, he’s just gonna snuggle up to you, and pull you close like he always does.

Azul

Like Riddle, Azul finds it unacceptable when you suddenly get into his personal space at first. But unlike Riddle, he immediately takes it as a sign that you’re comfortable with him.

He also goes stiff the first few times you roll on top of him, or squeeze him tight in your sleep. Not because he’s uncomfortable, but because he doesn’t want to disturb you.

It means so much to him that you’re comfortable enough to be so close to him while being in your most vulnerable state, and he doesn’t want to ruin anything.

Azul slowly starts to get used to it, and you notice that he’ll cling onto you too, though it hard to tell if it because he loves you so much, or it’s just instinct from being an octomer.

Either way, you two become so used to each other’s body heat, that whenever you’re not near each other, it’s freezing.

Jamil

Jamil finds it odd at first, but takes it as a sign of trust and show of further your relationship, and just cuddles you back after a while.

It does get hot in Scarabia, so sometimes he’ll slide you off without waking you up somehow, so you’ll open your eyes the next morning and notice you’re separated.

When Jamil doesn’t end up sliding you off, he’ll wrap an arm around you tightly in an almost vice grip, as if someone was going to steal you.

You’re the first person he’s ever shared his heart with, and he wants to be the only one, so if cuddling makes you happy, so be it, it makes him happy too.

If you really are bothered by getting slid off sometimes, he’ll compromise by holding your hand, so you won’t be completely apart.

Vil

Vil almost thought you had lost your mind the first time you snuggle your way into his personal space. Why you go and ruin his beauty sleep?? You know the oils from your face are gonna-…

“Wait, couples actually do this outside of tv…”, he thinks as he looks down at your peaceful face.

It takes a while for Vil to get used to, but the number one rule is that you CANNOT press your cheek against his.

Even if he has you on the same impeccable skincare routine as his, he doesn’t want to risk any drool, he’d rather you drool on his pajamas top if either of you can help it.

Eventually, Vil will welcome your cuddles with open arms, and even be excited for them as they’ll start being his most favorite part of the day.

Idia

Idia audibly gasps the first time, and probably the next couple time you wrap your arms around him in your sleep. He doesn’t even think he’s worthy of being your ‘snuggle buddy’.

He unironically calls the two of you that now ever since he got used to you cuddling him, and he thinks of it as some kind of honor.

Idia already treats your hugs as some kind of power up, but you cuddling him in bed at night like he’s some romance manga protagonist? He treats it as a SSR legendary reward you can only earn at the highest possible level.

You better believe he’s never letting you go, you’re his ‘snuggle buddy’ now, no matter how cringe that sounds to you and him.

Since Idia spends so much time in his room, and you hang out there a lot, he won’t initiate it himself, but he’ll start subtly asking for cuddles all the time.

He’ll want you to snuggle up to him while he’s playing on his console, he’ll want you on his lap when he’s sitting his gaming chair, and he’ll want you to lay on top of him while you’re watching anime together.

You of course don’t mind at all, and you two become almost inseparable in the comfort of Idia’s room.

Malleus

Malleus thinks you rolling on top of him at night and hug him tight as just another one of your human customs, so he welcomes the gesture with open arms.

He loves getting to know you better and learning about the strange things humans do, so after a few nights of this, he’ll ask you directly why you cuddle him so tightly at night.

When you explain it’s a gesture of love and trust, Malleus is overjoyed that his child of man feels so close to him.

He quickly begins to cuddle you at night as well to show how much he loves and trust you back, he even curls around you slightly as if you’re a hoard of treasure, which to him, you are.

Malleus loves cuddling so much to the point where he’ll start doing it in public, he won’t care, and it’s not like anyone’s going to tell him to stop besides his more eccentric guard.

Whether you do or don’t like it, you’ll have to explain what PDA is, why other people could be uncomfortable by it, and whether or not you’re comfortable with it.

You on the other hand, mostly took pictures of the food. Whatever you thought was adorable, like some cute kitty cupcakes with vanilla wafer whiskers, you ordered without thinking twice.

Cater almost regretted offering to pay of your meal, but he realized how many likes your photos could get on magicam, and forgot about his potential debt.

Jade

One day, you were in the Mostro Louge, just chilling and watching the jellyfish in the huge tank, you were Jade’s partner, so no one really questioned it.

You overhear the octotrio talking about some cafe that’s apparently ‘driving customers away’, and decide to search it up, only to immediately be obsessed with it within two minutes.

You then spend the next morning begging and pleading with Jade to go on a cafe date with you, when he’s finally done teasing you with ambiguous answers, he finally agrees.

Jade asks what cafe did you want to go to, and when you say his ‘competitors’ name, suddenly he’s all for it, but he doesn’t tell you that he’s just doing it to gather intel.

While you were ecstatic about the cutesy atmosphere, the bows, hearts, and pink everywhere, he didn’t particularly care for it.

But if it makes his darling, little treasure happy, then he can’t be upset about it. He just wants to gobble you up, like you’re gobbling up those cookies with chocolate smiley faces.

Jade gets so wrapped up in watching you eat, he only ends up ordering a hot chocolate, and completely forgets about the intel he was supposed to gather.

“I would step on you.”, he says flatly, prompting you to pout. “Really…?”, you give him sad, puppy dog eyes and he sighs. “No. You know I’d never do something like that to you.” Your face slowly starts to split into a huge grin, “Aww, see! This is why I love you, you’re such a big-…” “…I’d get Kalim to do it.”, Jamil smirks as you start to pout again.

“Jamil!”, that’s not how it’s supposed to go, and you know it!”, you huff annoyedly as you poke his cheek again, pissing him off again. “Quit with the poking, Neonate.”, he gives you a warning glare, and you give him one right back. “Hey! I’m not a baby!” “You’re sure acting like one, I know two year olds that act up less than you.”, he rolls his eyes.

That earns an offended gasp from you, then before Jamil could even process it, you suddenly pounce onto him and straddle his waist, then you start to wiggle your fingers on his sides. “This’ll teach you how to stop being such a meanie!”, you say with a mischievous smile on your face.

“Gah!”, Jamil tries his hardest to resist both the urge to laugh, and the urge to fling you across the room, going as stiff as a board. “You’re only proving my point.”, he manages to grunt out, “This is quite literally the most childish-…PFFT!” You had shot your fingers under his arms and almost made him laugh, but he quickly stops himself, much to your dismay.

“C’mon, Honey Bunches, you know you wanna laugh!”, you grin more deviously as you start to tickle Jamil all over. But almost immediately, he puts a stop to it, lifting you up and tossing you gently onto the farthest corner of the bed, contrasting the exasperated look on his face. You almost swooned at that, knowing that if you were literally anyone else, you’d still be flying across the desert right now.

“Even if I did want to laugh, I’d NEVER want to laugh at something as stupid as that.”, he half heartedly glares at you, still feeling the tingly sensation. “Don’t be so grumpy, Honey Bunches, you loved it, admit it.”, you playfully stick your tongue out at him. “Stop calling me ‘Honey Bunches’, it’s weird.”, Jamil gives you a slightly disgusted look, “Though I guess I shouldn’t expect anything less from you.”

“Don’t be so mean, my Little Honey Bunches of Oats.”, you blink at him innocently for about five seconds, until you get a pillow to the face. “Didn’t I tell you to stop calling me that!?”, Jamil says as he holds the pillow in his hand like a flail. “Doesn’t mean you have to get so angry, my little crabby kitten.”, you say, obviously feigning pain as you know good and well he didn’t hit you that hard.

“STOP THAT!”, he shouts, forgetting that the rest of Scarabia is asleep by this point, “You’re being annoying just for the sake of doing it, Seven’s you’re worse than Kalim, Floyd, and Trappola COMBINED!” “Yeah, but you love ME, though.”, you go back to looking innocent again, as you crawl back next to him on the bed. Jamil sighs and wraps his arm around your waist, pulling you closer, then he rest his cheek on your head.

“Sadly…but only because you care about me way more than they ever would.”, he looks down at your smiling face, “And I guess I care about you too…a lot more than you’d ever know.”, he trails off, then presses a gentle kiss to your forehead. “Hey, Jam Jams?”, you look up at him. “Yes?”, he finally looked calm for the first time tonight, you almost felt sorry for what you were about to do. “Are clouds a solid or a liquid?”

You start to grin that devious grin again, while Jamil looked almost like he was gonna bite you, “SEVENS, WOULD YOU STOP ASKING ME ALL THESE DUMBASS QUESTIONS!?”, he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. “Sorry…”, you mumble with an almost convincing amount of guilt. Jamil almost buys into it just because you’re his partner, but then he sees one of your fingers inching towards his side, and he officially gets fed up. “That’s it, I’m sleeping on the couch...”, he grumbles as he stomps off, leaving your giggling self on his bed.

Which led to the awkward conversation you had in history class a bit later. Deuce was basically cuddling you with how close he had his chair to yours, and you obviously didn’t mind because you kept poking his cheeks, and playing with his hair. Mind you, when Ace tries to do the same thing, Deuce always smacks his hand away with a glare. Mostly being he was purposefully being annoying, but still.

“Hey, Grim,”, Ace looks up from his work to look at him, “The lovebirds are at it again, and we’ve barely been in this room for ten minutes.”, he sighs. “I don’t even wanna look. My hench human and Dummy over there should NEVER be in the same sentence as ‘lovebirds’!”, Grim declares, slamming his little paw down on the desk. “Yeah, all that and no one even knows if they’re dating or not.”, Ace says, looking a little annoyed, “Like if they are, good for them, but if not, I’m pretty sure most friends don’t get THAT up close and personal with each other.”

“It’s not even that, [Name], shouldn’t be dating anybody!”, Grim crosses his arms, grinning, “No one will ever be good enough for them, so they might as well not even try.” “Uh, Grim, shut up a sec-…” “My hench human is almost as magnificent as me, and you can already imagine how hard it is to measure against the Great-…” “GRIM!”, Ace shouts, finally catching his attention, though he has an exasperated look on his face. Grim jumps a little and looks offended when Ace interrupts him, but then he almost immediately figures out why he did.

He and Ace were too stupid to realize that you and Deuce are within a clear earshot of them, both of you sitting right in front of them. Deuce and you have matching ticked off expressions, the two of you really do share everything. “So, you guys gonna keep talking about us like we’re not here or what?”, Deuce speaks up first. “Yeah, if you wanna gossip so bad, do it on magicam like everyone else.”, you roll your eyes. Grim and Ace stay silent for a moment, both looking sheepish. Grim opened his mouth, likely going to apologize with a flimsy excuse, but Ace beats him to it.

“Sorry, sorry, we don’t mean to talk behind your back…literally.”, Ace chuckles awkwardly, “But please, we gotta know-…” “Are you guys dating!?”, Grim blurts out for the entire class to here, but at this point, they’re probably listening in. “W-WHAT!?”, Deuce’s eyes practically bulge out of his head, as he starts blushing so bad it spreads to his ears. You on the other hand just looked at the pair as if they’re acting more stupid than usual, “Isn’t is obvious, I know you’re idiots, but damn.”

“WE’RE DATING!!??”, Deuce rapidly blinks at you, acting as if you just said you gave him a life threatening disease. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. All this time he just thought you were a really affectionate person, and wanted to indulge you. He didn’t think you or anyone else thought of it as anything more, but apparently you did more than anyone. “Wait, are we NOT dating??”, you raise an eyebrow, slowly starting to get upset. “Then why do you cuddle and kiss me all the time!? Is our relationship just some kind of big joke to you!??”, you ball up your fist slightly in anger.

As Deuce tries to come up with an answer that doesn’t sound too dumb, or just downright insulting, Grim pretends to hurt his paw. Ace look worried, but also confused as to how that suddenly happened, but then Grim winks at him, and he quickly gets the message. Lifting Grim up like a baby, and walking over to the professor’s desk, quickly excusing themselves to go to the infirmary. Not that you and Deuce noticed though, you were both too busy questioning your relationship. Deuce not wanting to loose your friendship, and you not knowing if he ever took you seriously.

“And there’s no better offering than lifting your spirits, so this time…!”, Sebek grabs your hand, reaches into his pocket with his other hand and places something hard in your palm, then closes it. It feels like a bracelet of some sort, but slightly damp…? It’s as if Sebek’s palms were sweaty before giving it to you. That’s something you noticed a lot lately, you considered asking Lilia why his hands have been sweating so much, but you wanted to save him from the doting.

“Wow, thanks, Sebek.”, you smile awkwardly, then look down and try and open your hand, but Sebek quickly puts his back over yours and sits close to you. “Don’t look yet! It needs your full attention, not one little thing shall take your eyes off of it…”, he trails off, getting weirdly quiet. When you look up at him, you notice him making this strange face, something between a cringe and a pout. You noticed that he’s done that a lot too, but when you asked him about it, he just snapped and claimed he had ‘training to do’.

The silence was a few moments away from becoming uncomfortable before Sebek speaks up again, “Feathers, I see you were reading the book I gifted to you last week. You’re obviously enjoying my selection, I knew I’d choose the best one!”, he grins as he boasts, which you’ve learned that he does it mostly out of embarrassment. You just nod, thinking that you’re helping him out by not reacting much, but it actually makes him feel sad and that he’s bothering you, not that he’ll tell you. “Well, Feathers,”, he gives your hand a squeeze as he stands up, “I’ll take my leave now, I don’t want to interrupt any more of your reading time.”

He finally lets go, then scurries off like something that’s ten times smaller than his actual size. You sigh and shake your head, wondering if he hit his head recently. Not that you didn’t appreciate it, but Sebek’s been acting so weird lately. He keeps giving you gifts every three days, some as simple as some fruit in a basket, and some as off putting as a vile of his tears. You didn’t know he could cry in the first place, much less cry enough to fill a whole vile. Sebek said they were ‘tears of passion’ to show how much he cares for you, but you feel like he would’ve been better off calling you his best friend.

Speaking of calling you things, Sebek keeps calling you ‘Feathers’ and sometimes ‘Tweety’ when he’s feeling more affectionate. He NEVER calls anyone besides Lilia and Malleus by any nicknames, and even then they’re technically titles and not nicknames. He doesn’t even call Silver anything and they’ve known each other long before NRC, he doesn’t even call him ‘human’ like he does with literally anyone else. You don’t mind the nicknames, but you almost feel like he’s expecting you to call him something back. At this point, you might ambush him with interpretive dance to see if it’ll get him to settle down with…everything.

Like Sebek acts like it’s his sworn duty to walk you back to your dorm every night. He would make you go with Malleus every time you eat lunch in the cafeteria, since Malleus practically scares everyone in line, so you’d both get first dibs on everything. Malleus didn’t mind, just happy to be making a new friend, you on the other hand wanted to back away like everyone else. Sebek would even offer to do the most mundane things for you, but in the most unhinged way possible.

Grabbing you a sheet of paper when you need to write down notes, even though you clearly had plenty in your notebook. Tying your shoes even if they were the SLIGHTEST bit loose, bending down on one knee as if it were a sacred practice. But the most unhinged was last Friday, he pulled you close to him and didn’t let you go for ten minutes straight. It WAS a little chilly outside in the woods, but not chilly for him to act as a human blanket. It was so absurd, you didn’t even question how or why he even followed you into the woods.

You don’t even question why he’s been so adamant on being all over you. Even in public surprisingly, though in those situations he just stands obnoxiously close to you, but it still counts. It’s not that you didn’t care, it’s just that you had bigger things to worry about. Sebek being affectionate was the least concerning of his…behavior lately. In fact, you feel kind of honored since you never see him be this soft with anyone else.

Later on the still lovely Tuesday, you were in potionology class and you and Silver were partners. You and Silver were great friends actually, having lots of things in common help you two become close. While you guys were mixing your assigned concoction. Silver looks at you with a serious look in his eye, “[Name], I know this might not be the best time, but I need to talk to you about something.” “Oh, sure. What is it?”, you say curiously, but you secretly hope it wasn’t anything too upsetting. “Do you not like Sebek or something? He says you haven’t been taking his courting very well.”, he looks concerned, but also worried on Sebek’s behalf. “He’s been trying so hard, y’know, and if you don’t like him back, you should put a stop to it before this goes any further-…”

“WOAH, WOAH, WOAH…!”, you yell for the entire class to hear, earning you a couple dirty looks, making you feel a little bashful, but you continue, “Courting???” As soon as Silver sees the shock and confusion on your face, he remembers you’re more clueless on fae culture than he is on human culture. He looks at you with second hand embarrassment, then says something along the lines of, “I’ll let him explain”, but then he starts to feel drowsy and cuts himself off, leaving you to worry more about his safety at the moment.

That night in Diasomnia, Silver finds Sebek in his dorm room, usually at this time, he’d hear him saying his nightly prayers to his Malleus portrait, but now he hears him just grumbling to himself. “Sebek? Are you feeling alright?”, Silver ask softly as he approaches Sebek. Sebek huffs and gives him an almost offended look, “NO! I am NOT okay! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, usually in couples, after the third day, your partner would reciprocate! If they’re shier, maybe five, but it’s been over a MONTH now. AND-…!” “Sebek.”, Silver calmly interrupts, “They don’t understand fae courtship. They were raised among humans, remember.”

Sebek jaw drops as if he was just told the sky was falling, which to him it might as well be because how could he forget one of the most important things about the very person he’s perusing. He felt so silly, he was so busy being glad that you were fae, so you would understand what humans would consider strange, that he wasn’t thinking about how SILVER of all people understood the rituals more than you. Sebek shoos Silver away after a minute, then he writes down a strict, five page plan on how to court you properly in a way that the both of you could understand.

Surprisingly, walking around in circles worked to soothe your nerves. For one, mostly everyone was in the courtyard or at their dorms, so there weren’t many people to notice you coming around for the fourth time. And two, everyone who was in the corridor were people who were just coming and going, not staying there for very long. There were some people who actually payed attention to your presence however, though you didn’t notice at first.

“Hey, big bro, isn’t that [Name]-san over there?”, a cheerful voice said, seeming to be coming from behind you. It made you jump a little, you knew exactly who it was, but you tried to ignore it, hoping it would go away. “Uh, yeah… I wonder where they’re heading to-… NOT THAT I CARE, just curious!”, another, more nervous sounding voice said, and like the first voice, you knew just who it belonged to. You started to walk faster, hoping they wouldn’t come closer.

“It’s okay if you want to make a new friend, Idia! It’s good to be more social.”, the cheerful voice encourages. “Shush, Ortho! I don’t want people thinking I’m engaging in normie activities…”, the more nervous one grumbles. You sigh as you hear Ortho giggle, and more worse, you hear footsteps coming closer behind you. It’s not like you didn’t like Idia and Ortho, it was the fact you did was the problem.

Even just hearing their voices makes you want to squeal and run away, but you realize as you’re speed walking that they might be the only two people that WANT to talk to you at NRC. Or at least that you know of, it’s not like you went out of your way to eavesdrop on conversations involving you. But those two were the ones you actually notice, and you feel bad for always running, hiding, or if you don’t manage to do either of those, just stare like some kind of freak.

Your thoughts on the concept of being brave were quickly forgotten about when you feel a gentle tap on your shoulder. “Hi, [Name]-san, it’s nice bumping into you.”, Ortho smiles, this being the first time in a while he’s came up and talked to you. He’d love to talk to you more, but you always seem so spooked whenever he does, like now. This time, was no different, you just stare at Ortho as if he bit you, then you look up at Idia.

Idia’s basically making the same expression as you, though for a whole different reason. He was really hoping he and Ortho wouldn’t end up scaring you off again, but with the way his little brother came up to you so boldly, even though he was trying to be softer, obviously backfired. “Um…hey, [Name], fancy seeing you here?”, he smiles awkwardly, immediately regretting his overly formal choice of words. The three of you then just sit there, and look around at each other in silence for a few moments.

Until you manage to flash a forced smile and a stiff wave, then as usual, you fled from the scene, mumbling something about ‘lots of homework’. Despite the fact that you did your most signature move once again, Idia and Ortho took this time as a win. “Well at least they actually pressed a dialogue box this time, instead of closing out of the game.”, Idia shrugged, a little happy at the sight you might like him and Ortho, “Even if that box just said ‘grimace and greet awkwardly’ with no actual dialogue.” “And they actually stuck around for three minutes and forty-eight seconds, an all time record!”, Ortho chirps happily.
