‧₊˚ ┊ Cater is a Hall of Fame yapper. There's a 99.9% chance that once you get him started on a topic of conversation that interests him, that he'll talk and talk and talk until his voice grows hoarse and his throat sore. It could be said that Cater loves the sound of his own voice, and while that might be at least partially true, he does find comfort in the quiet moments as well.

‧₊˚ ┊ Cater is happy to be the vocal cords, so to speak, in your relationship. He very fluently speaks your silent nods and gestures, so don't worry about him misunderstanding you! Additionally, Cater is happy to act as your translator during your non-verbal moments. He won't ever force you to speak and will make sure no one else tries to get you to either. (Don't let Cater's bubbly facade fool you — he can get kinda… intense when it comes to dealing with anyone bothering you. It's kinda like seeing a flip switch. One moment he's smiling and the next he's glaring down some rando who asked why you can't speak for yourself. Oh, if looks could kill, Cater would be behind bars lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ It might come as a surprise, but Cater himself has his moments of going non-verbal. They typically come when he's had a particularly rough day. It's in these moments that he finds solace in the silence, letting it surround him like a blanket while he doomscrolls his stress away. When Cater finds himself unwilling to speak, he'll use your language of nods and gestures to communicate with you. With the roles reversed, he considers himself lucky that he's found someone who not only speaks, but truly understands that same language. (Cater is very grateful that you're there for him during these moments and will tell you as much once he regains his will to speak.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Trey has plenty of experience when it comes to translating silence into words thanks to his siblings — one of which have the tendency to lose their voice when overwhelmed. He doesn't mind, of course. In fact, it's something that Trey takes some pride in. There's a level of trust that comes with acting as someone else's voice, and it means a lot to him that you would trust him enough to speak on your behalf. (Trey just genuinely likes being able to support you in any way. He'd go to the ends of the earth if you asked it of him, so this is pretty much nothing lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Trey notices everything when it comes to you, so he almost always notices you going quiet before going non-verbal all together. Once silence strikes, he does what he can to accommodate your unwillingness to speak. Your gestures, nods, and pointing are by no means foreign to him, which allows him to easily communicate with you even if you don't employ your words. With a kind and gentle heart, Trey happily allows you to use his voice when yours fails you, and if anyone has a problem with that, then they can take it up with him. (He'll never resort to any sort of violence or intimidation — that's just but his style — but will instead try to diffuse any tension with his typical grounded and calm approach. That being said, if someone makes a snide comment or comes at you wrong for being non-verbal, you'll see a side of Trey that greatly contradicts his usually considerate and loving nature.)

Your Twisted Wonderland match is… Rook Hunt!

‧₊˚ ┊ We have selected Rook as your match because we believe that he nicely compliments your considerate and artistic nature! While this hunter of love can be a little… eccentric at times, he's very caring and well-meaning with his intentions. Like you, Rook is incredibly caring. He's loyal to a fault and is always ready and willing to do just about anything if it means supporting and making those he's close to happy. With you, this translates to Rook helping you with your insecurities. He's very good with his words, but he doesn't want you to think that he's just telling you sweet nothings. Rook means every word he says when he compliments you, and won't stop lavishing you with all his love and adoration until you see yourself in the same light he does. If you need to take a lazy day, he won't judge. In fact, he'll make sure you're nice and cozy. If your laziness gets in the way of you completing some task or another, then Rook will gently encourage you to get it done before you can go back to relaxing, or he'll just do it for you himself. Now, when it comes to art, you've met your match! Rook adores anything and everything to do with all forms of art! He will sing the praises of everything you make, be it a painting, a sculpture, or anything else — in his eyes, everything made by your hands belongs in an exhibit! Of course, Rook absolutely treasures any pieces of your art you gift him and treats them like priceless masterpieces, which, to him, they are without a doubt! He will, obviously, buy you plenty of books and manga to add to your collection. Rook is much more of a traditional reader than a manga-reader, but he will take it upon himself to read every available volume so he can properly engage you in discussions on whatever series you feel like yapping about! He adores your voice, by the way, so never think you're bothering him when you get particularly talkative. Rook is also happy to join you at the gym! He's a great workout buddy that's both encouraging and helpful when it comes to meeting your exercise goals! Rook is also very good at making sure you get enough sleep. He loves you and wants you happy and healthy, so that means no more late nights if he can help it! Rook does hate it when you shut him out, but he won't ever force you to let him in. He's patient enough to wait and let you take your time before you're ready to talk again. Also, don't worry about being messy! Rook doesn't mind cleaning up after you, especially if your beautiful art is the result! You'll be nothing but loved and supported in this relationship! Rook's goal is to make sure you never ever doubt yourself, your relationship, and his love for you, and we believe that it's one he'll very easily achieve!

À ma plus chère bien-aimée,

I was overcome with the insatiable urge to tell you how much I adore you.

Your self-consciousness is a beast I mean to defeat, no, to slay once and for all.

You are something truly special, mon amour.

Your skill and talent is beyond measure, and everything you create astonishes me without fail.

Your kindness is the sort written about in songs of old, the kind of compassion that people put on a pedestal and strive to achieve.

I adore you, ma très chère artiste, and I will use every breath to tell you that for as long as I have the privilege of being yours.

Every smile, every laugh, every breath you take is something truly merveilleux

Always remember: j'aime et j'adore chaque morceau de toi.

Votre admirateur le plus ardent et dévoué,

Rook Hunt

The first years are collectively at their wits end.

They've lost track of how long Sebek's been dancing around his feelings for you. It's honestly become downright painful for them to watch the poor fae try and fail time and time again to get you to understand the depth of his affections for you. It seems like he's tried everything at this point, yet his kind gestures and outright declaring his adoration for you have continually gone right over your head.

Your obviousness is the main problem here. Somehow, you don't seem to notice how utterly whipped Sebek is for you. How you can think he's just being friendly when he clearly favors you to just about every other soul that crosses his path — minus Lilia and his glorious liege Malleus, of course — is beyond them. It's quite obvious to everyone that watches Sebek interact with you that he has a massive raging crush on you. Well, it's obvious to everyone except for you.

Thankfully, that's about to change.

Unable to suffer yet another one of Sebek's failed attempts at wooing you, the first years decide to take it upon themselves and set the two of you up once and for all. The plan was actually suggested by Ace, who isn't exactly known for coming up with many bright ideas. The others very quickly agreed, since they were also beyond sick and tired of having to awkwardly watch Sebek try to flirt with you.

And so, the plan was put into motion!

Ortho, using his vast database of knowledge, concocted the perfect romantic date for the two of you — a romantic dinner for two! Of course, I dinner needs food, so Ace and Deuce begged the best cook they know — that being Trey — to help them out. The Vice Housewarden agreed after some convincing and the promise of a favor from each of his juniors, which left only the venue and decorations to be settled.

Vil was gracious enough to let the group use one of Pomefiore's spare ballrooms to host your date after Epel explained their plans for you and Sebek. While he's usually a bit reluctant to let a gaggle of rowdy first years run around his dorm unsupervised, he supposed he did owe you for all your help with the overblots and whatnot, so he simply obligated to settle that debt. Thankfully, Vil has Rook to keep an eye out and make sure none of the dorm's expensive vases get broken in the process.

Once the location was established, Jack got to work rearranging furniture and putting up decoration according to the plans Ortho came up with. The others chipped in too, of course, but the heavy lifting was left to Jack. Finally, after all the blood, sweat and tears — well, mostly sweat, but a little bit of blood and tears after Ace hurt his foot trying to move a table with Deuce — the set-up was finally done.

All that's left was to get you and Sebek together to enjoy the fruits of all their arduous labor.

Surprisingly, it was rather easy to get you both to agree to come to Pomefiore under the guise of a group study session. Grim, however, almost ended up talking you out of it, since the last thing he wanted to do was study, but all it took was some mild convincing and the promise of canned tuna to get him to change his tune. Thankfully, you didn't think his eagerness strange, which was quite the relief to the others.

Neither you nor Sebek had any idea what was in store when you set out to Pomefiore on that fateful day. To keep up the ruse of the aforementioned study session cover, the whole group of first years were waiting for you in the form lounge upon arrival. There was an undercurrent of tension in the room amongst them, but they were at least able to pretend not to be scheming.

The plan to get you two alone was simple. They'd moved most of the extra seating out of the lounge, so you and Sebek had no other choice but to venture off to grab yourselves a chair. Epel would point you in the direction of the ballroom they set up in advance. He'd quietly follow the two of you, and once you were behind closed doors, he'd spring into action and lock you both in! As convoluted as the whole thing sounds, it managed to work out quite well.So, now you find yourself trapped in the very nicely decorated room with Sebek while the others taunt him from the other side of the doors. Something about finally making a move, whatever that means. While Sebek rages and contemplates breaking down the door to strangle the other first years — minus Ortho, who he refuses to believe was lead astray by their wicked friends — you take it upon yourself to inspect the dinner for two set up in the middle of the room.

Two delicious looking plates of food and accompanying desserts were spread out on the table, with a bouquet of bright red roses — likely fresh from Heartslabyul's gardens — acting as the centerpiece. It's a lovely display that only heightened the surrounding atmosphere. The lights are down low, letting the fairy lights strung up across the ceiling cast a soft warm light on the scene below. Somewhere, a quiet music plays a gentle tune that you can just make out over the sounds of Sebek's arguing.

"Just leave them be, Sebek. They locked us in here for a reason. The sooner we give them what they want, the sooner they'll let us go." Oh, Sebek knows very well what they want, but he's not quite sure if he's ready to take that step just yet. Sure, he's been trying to court you for a long while now, but confessing his feelings is an entirely different beast.

"F-fine. You're right, as always, prefect. Tell me, what mischief has those louts gotten up to this time?"

"A meal by the looks of it. I guess they want us to eat more. It's a bit dramatic going to these lengths, but it's actually kinda sweet if you think about it." Of course, it goes right over your head that this is supposed to be a romantic endeavor. To Sebek, though, the intention couldn't be any clearer.

Without much fanfare, you sit and eat in silence. Sebek can hardly stand to take more than a few bites thanks to his nerves and instead finds himself mulling over every possible way he can get out of his with his pride and dignity intact.

"Are you alright? You look like you're about to throw up over there?"

"I am perfectly well, perfect. I just have quite a bit on my mind."

"Care to share? I'm always here to listen."

There's a beat of silence followed by a long heavy sigh from Sebek. He knows what he must do, and although he doesn't appreciate being forced into this situation, he will take the opportunity and make the best out of it.

"I have meant to tell you this for some time, prefect. It was my intention to do so on my own terms, but my hand has been forced. So, I shall come out and say it: I am quite taken with you and would like to pursue a romance with you should it please you." And just like that, Sebek's heart is laid bare for you to do with it as you please. It feels like a relief that he's finally spoken the words aloud, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't fear what your response might be.

"Oh… I had no idea you felt that way about me."

"I see. Perhaps I was not as obvious about my feelings as I would have liked. Please forgive me for that."

"There's nothing to forgive, Sebek. Thank you for telling me. I guess I was a bit too thick-headed to notice, so let's call it even."

"I would not let you take even part of the blame for this mishap, but if you insist, then I shall allow it."

"So, I guess this was the guys' plan all along? Lock us in here and get one of us to confess? Heh, I gotta give it to them, they really know how to come together when they put their minds to it."

"Yes, I suppose I shall have to thank them for orchestrating all this, even if things don't turn out the way they'd hoped."

"It would have been a shame if all their hard work went to waste, don't you think? Well, I think they'll be quite happy to know that I return your feelings, Sebek."

"Y-you do?"

"Of course! Come on, let's go tell them now, I wanna rub it in their faces!"

Upon your emergence from the ballroom, the group of first years erupts into a chorus of cheers. They high-five, hug, and congratulate each other like they'd just won the World Cup when all they did was successfully set their friend up with their crush. Sebek is, of course, still peeved that they had the gall to pull such a stunt, but he'll let them celebrate for now.

Your Love and Deepspace match is… Xavier Shen!

‧₊˚ ┊ We have selected Xavier as your match because we believe that his loving and mellow personality suit you quite nicely! Like you, this hunter is incesibly introverted! Xavier would much rather spend the day at home with you, napping and playing video games with you. He's a homebody for sure, but he will happily go out and do whatever makes you happy. While you're more bubbly, Xavier is more the calm, cool and collected type. He certainly can get animated at times, but that's mostly in therms of his facial expressions — specifically his eyes. Your sarcasm will fly right over Xavier's head. He's not naive, but he's just takes your word at face value in his endearingly earnest way. Xavier is much more of a listener than a yapper, so he'll glad listen to you run your mouth. When I say listen, I mean it. While he might get a bit distracted by the sound of your voice or the shape of your lips, he's a very active listener that asks questions and provides insight at certain points. Xavier quite enjoys physical affection, mostly in the way of cuddling during a nap. He is, however, happy to let you squeeze him and bite him as you please. Me might fix you the occasional nip here and there, but otherwise he's not much of a biter himself. Xavier will absolutely squeeze you tho. He's got an iron-clad grip that makes it rather difficult for you to get out of his loving embrace. Xavier is an avid reader himself, so he loves doing buddy reads with you! He isn't really one for murder mysteries, but he'll read them for you. Sci-fi and space themed novels are, of course, his preferred genre, but he's willing to try out just about anything if you recommend it. Like you, Xavier is a huge cat person. He'd be a great cat parent, but be warned: if you choose to stops a cat with him, he will fight the little feline for your attention and affection no matter how cute and fluffy it is. Being a trained hunter means that Xavier's reflexes are second to none. For you, that mean you'll never have to worry about bugs bothering you. You won't even notice any bugs because he'll have them removed from your presence before you even notice them. Xavier is very patient and understanding when it comes to your anger issues. He doesn't get very angry himself, so he's able to handle your heightened emotions in a calm and relaxed manner. Your laziness doesn't bother Xavier whatsoever. He is never one to say no to some good ol' rest and relaxation, but he'll make sure you're not neglecting yourself or any other responsibilities in favor of lounging around all day. That being said, Xavier will absolutely join you on one of your lazy days if he so happens to have the day off and if he doesn't, then he'll just call out to spend it with you. What might cause some friction, is your tendency to get distant when your social battery runs low. Xavier completely understands that social interactions can be incredibly draining, but he hates that you pull away from him during moments like these. He's very supportive and will give you the time you need to recharge, but it does hurt his heart somewhat to not be pushed away by you. On the bright side, Xavier very keen on taking care of you and will pamper you like a princess if you let him.

Hi, Amelia.

Since it's my turn to pick our buddy read for this month, I stopped by the bookstore after work the other day.

I got some help from the store owner to find something we'd both enjoy, and I ended up with this murder mystery in space.

It actually seems really interesting.

I also took the liberty to get up both matching bookmarks and tabs so we can annotate when we read.

I was thinking we could start reading the next time I come over if you're up to it.

We can make it a cozy home date too — you know, order take out and all that.

We can even get some dessert from that bakery I told you about.

How about you take a peek and see if I made a good pick?

If you're not into it, then we can return them and go book shopping together so you can find something else.

Anyway, don't read too far ahead if you do like it — I don't want you accidentally spoiling any of the plot if you get too excited and start talking about it.

Well, I'll try to stop by as soon as I'm available so we can spend some time together.

Love,

Xavi ☆

Your Twisted Wonderland match is… Silver!

‧₊˚ ┊ We have selected Silver as your match because we find that his calm, devoted, and loving nature nicely compliments your personality! Despite being raised by an extrovert, this knight is much more of an introvert like yourself. Silver can be quite blunt at times, but he's not trying to be rude, he's just a straightforward kind of guy. He doesn't at all mind when you call it how it is. In fact, he appreciated your direct honesty and highly values your thoughts and opinions! Silver isn't exactly shy, but he is quiet. He doesn't push you to open up right away, and follows your lead in terms of the pace of your relationship. Once you do get comfortable enough to start yapping, though, you better believe that Silver is hanging on to every word that leaves your lips. Silver loves listening to you talk and takes great comfort in the sound of your voice! He loves hearing you sing too, so don't be afraid to hum a little tune or put in a full performance for him! Unfortunately, he finds your voice so comforting that he often ends up falling asleep while listening to you. It's never on purpose, of course, but Silver always feels incredibly bad for doing so. While we're on the topic of sleeping, naps together are, obviously, commonplace in your relationship. He always cuddles up to you without realizing it, but be warned that you won't be able to leave his grasp once your trapped in his embrace. If you so happen to fall asleep in nature — which might happen quite often — expect a few cute forest critters and even an occasional stray cat to flock around your sleeping forms. Silver isn't quite sure why animals are so drawn to him, but he knows you like cute animals, so it's not much of an issue. Moving onto hobbies, this is where there's a bit of a disconnect. Video games and the like aren't Silver's cup of tea, but he's happy to try some out with you. Surprisingly, he finds that he rather enjoys cozy games, especially farming sims! One hobby you will easily be able to rope him into, however, is crafts! Silver is naturally quite crafty and resourceful, which makes him surprisingly good at things like sewing. On a more sour note, let's address your red flags. Now, Silver is a calm and rational guy. He's not one to yell or get overly angry. In fact, he hardly even argues with you. Silver handles your anger with grace. He doesn't ever hold your emotions against you and only ever tries to calmly defuse the situation as best he can. Similarly, he handles your distance when your social battery is drained rather well. He Silver is happy to give you your time and space to yourself. He takes the approach of letting you decide when you're ready to let him back in. Your laziness only bothers Silver a bit, but that's only because he's typically quite active when sleep hasn't taken ahold of him. He won't scold you or anything like that, but he'll try his best to get you to get up and get moving every now and again! Silver is a gentle and kindhearted knight, one that we're sure will defend you with all his heart!

Dearest Amelia,

It is with all my hope that this letter finds you well.

I thought it of import that I apologize for falling asleep during our date yesterday.

Naively, I thought my grievous curse wouldn't ruin our time together, but you and I both know how that went.

However, I'd like to thank you for watching over me while I slept.

I'd like to make it up to you for all you do for me.

I could never endeavor to express just how lucky I am to be yours.

Hopefully, I might be able to show you at least a modicum of the adoration I have for you with the surprise I have in the works.

I'll not spoil the plans I have in store, but it is my intention that it makes up for the disaster that was our last one.

Yours faithfully,

Silver

‧₊˚ ┊ There has to be a rule that forbids hiding beneath the Queen of Hearts' cape! Well, at least that's what Riddle immediately thought the first time you took it upon yourself to hide beneath it. His first instinct was to scold you for acting so childish, but then he remembered that you literally are a child, and quickly bit his tongue. So, Riddle, albeit reluctantly, let you hide underneath his cape. (Of course, he'd huff and grumble and complain, but he never once told you no. To be honest, he just can't bring himself to deny you, so use that power wisely lol!)

‧₊˚ ┊ Your fascination with Riddle's cape is beyond him, so be honest. I mean, he does enjoy how regal and commanding it makes him look, but he can't fathom why you're so obsessed with hiding beneath it. Similarly, the ADeuce duo — well, mainly Ace — doesn't understand why you like hiding in their Housewarden's shadow, but Riddle is very quick to slap a collar on either of them of the tease you too much for his liking. (Cater and Trey jokingly call him a protective older bother, which almost gets them both collared by a very flustered Riddle.)

‧₊˚ ┊ With time, Riddle grows rather fond of your antics and almost brings to expect you to worm your way beneath his cape whenever he dons his dorm uniform. He is, of course, too proud to admit how much he enjoys your antics, and will deny it up and down if you or anyone else tries to call him out! Riddle was certainly a reluctant big brother, but he's settled into the role and takes his duty very seriously! (He didn't have an older sibling to protect him when he was young, so he's gonna make up for the past by being there for you!)

‧₊˚ ┊ In the beginning, Azul was rather annoyed by how you clung to him like a sucker fish, but with time, he began to find it somewhat endearing. He's, of course, too proud to admit that he finds your antics quite sweet, but it's very easy for everyone to tell how fond he is of you. (Jade and Floyd, obviously, poke fun at the poor octopus, but you're spared from their teasing since you're just a little shrimpy.)

‧₊˚ ┊ You're almost always welcome beneath the cover of the coat Azul wears over his shoulders, just not when he's doing business. On one occasion, you nearly gave one of his clients a heart attack after you popped out from the dark recesses of his coat. After that, he very politely asked that you refrain from hiding there while he's trying to make a deal. (Thankfully, he didn't lose that client you scared half to death, but even if he had, he couldn't be too mad at you.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Although you're not technically a member of the Octavinelle dorm, Azul takes it upon himself to have a matching oversized coat made for you. Of course, it could never compare to the billowing glory of Azul's, but at least you can hide beneath it whenever you're not able to be within reach of his coat. (Azul thinks you look like quite the professional little thing in your coat and, admittedly, feels something akin to pride whenever he sees you wearing it. He's a proud big bro lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Oh, Malleus is so utterly delighted that you have taken to him so readily! Most turn away from him out of fear, yet you look to him as a protector, a friend, a brother even. You are always allowed to seek refuge beneath the shadows of Malleus's cape. In fact, you needn't ask for permission, simply drape the fabric over yourself whenever you so please! (Malleus has always wanted a younger sibling, and while he certainly has a brotherly bond with Silver, the knight is a bit too old for him to dote on, unlike you.)

‧₊˚ ┊ It's quite hard for people to find Malleus scary and intimidating when you're burrowed beneath his cape. Actually, the sight helps to dampen the cold and untouchable image that most people have of the Prince. Lilia, of course, finds the sight quite cute and will take a million pictures of the two of you together since you're just too cute together! (If Malleus is your big brother figure, then Lilia is your fun uncle, while Sebek and Silver are your surrogate cousins — you're the unofficial member of the family that they all love and adore!)

Your Love and Deepspace match is… Caleb Xia!

‧₊˚ ┊ We have selected Caleb as your match because we believe that his playful but caring nature perfectly suits your personality! While this Colonel isn't the most daring when it comes to style, he absolutely lovessssss any and everything you wear! Be it a masculine or more feminine style, Caleb thinks you look good in literally anything! If you want, his closet is always open to you, so feel free to raid it and wear one of his shits if it suits your fancy! Caleb is something of an extrovert, but he easily adjusts to fit your my shy and reserved nature. He's very mindful about making sure you don't get overwhelmed in loud or crowded places and will very quickly whisk you away if it becomes too much. Caleb a huge tease and absolutely loves messing with you just so he can see you get all cute and flustered. Don't be afraid to dish it right back at him, by the way! Caleb has thick skin and can handle being teased, but be prepared for him to pout and whine like a sad puppy when it's all over. Thankfully, he will make up for his whining by treating you to all the sweets you desire — just don't complain when you get a stomachache from all the chocolate and caramel! While Caleb may not be four-legged and furry, your boyfriend here has such strong golden retriever energy that he might as well have ears and a tail! Of course, he's incredibly loyal and always looking for some affection. Caleb would literally sew himself to your hip if he could, but it would be pretty inconvenient for both of you, so he sticks to clinging to you like a leech instead. Your 'airheaded' nature, as you put it, is quite endearing to him! Caleb is happy to remember things for you, so consider him your personal reminder system! In all honesty, he finds your jealousy attractive. Caleb, of course, doesn't want you to feel insecure or anything like that, so he'll put his satisfaction aside to make sure you know he loves you and only! Even though you don't show it openly, he knows you well enough to tell when you're in your own head and will go out of his way to cheer you up and shower you with love and affection! Caleb is the type of boyfriend that doubles as your best friend — the kind that knows you like the back of his hand and is there for you through the good times and the bad! 

Hiya, Ves!!

Sorry I've been away for so long, stuff with the Farspace Fleet has been pretty hectic lately.

I'd been meaning to take some time off, but right as I was about to submit for vacation, there was an anomaly detected in the Deepspace Tunnel.

Talk about bad timing, right?

Well, to make it up to you, I thought I'd send a little gift your way as an apology for not being there!

I splurged and got this deluxe chocolate gift set that I thought you'd enjoy!

Eat as much as you want, but make sure to brush your teeth afterwards because I don't wanna hear you complaining about a toothache when you get a cavity!

Also, maybe save some for me?

There's a dark chocolate bar with blood orange popping candy in there that I wanna try.

Of course, you're free to eat it, but at least try to save me a small square or two!

Anyway, sorry again and I hope you like your chocolate!

Love ya lots,

Caleb >:3

(P.S. — Don't eat it all in one sitting and give yourself a tummy ache!)

Your Alien Stage match is… Luka!

‧₊˚ ┊ We have selected Luka as your match because we find that your personalities align quite well! Being highly visible and popular means that this idol is pretty much always well-dressed. Luka doesn't have too much say in the clothing he wears for photoshoots, performances, and the like. He wears a lot of alt styles for these appearances, and while he much prefers to adorn himself and comfy, loose-fitting clothing when he can, he must and it that he likes seeing you in your preferred styles! Like you, Luka is incredibly physically affectionate and has absolutely no shame when it comes to being all over you. He, admittedly, likes to do things like bite at your neck or playfully blow his breath on your ear just to see you squirm and get all flustered. Luka can come across as somewhat cold and distant to others, but he's very loving when it comes to you. Despite how visible he is in the public eye, he's actually much more of an introvert and prefers to spend his time away from the spotlight. Quality time is his second love language, so expect lots of cuddles and naps with him! Your love of sweets is thoroughly matched by Luka, who — despite the strict diet he is kept on by his guardian — will absolutely devour any sweet treat within his reach! While you might consider yourself to be an airhead, your dear boyfriend here has quite the sharp mind. Luka may not look like it, but he's quite perceptive and incredibly observant, which means he'll gladly remember anything you might happen to forget! Additionally, this trait of his makes it incredibly difficult for you to hide your jealousy even if you don't outwardly show it. Luka isn't the best with his words, so he does his best to show you how much he cares for you through his actions — namely physical affection. Overall, we see you and Luka creating beautiful harmonies together for many years to come!

I miss you.

Heperu won't let me see you — he says that you're a distraction.

I suppose his right, but you're a good distraction.

Without you, all I do is train, all day until the point of exhaustion and when I do finally get to rest sleep, I can't even spend time with you.

I've been working hard to make Heperu happy, so hopefully he'll cut me some slack and let me see you again soon.

I haven't been able to sleep well without you, even with the sleeping medication I'm given.

My bed is cold and empty, and it just doesn't feel right without you.

I tried hugging a pillow and pretending it's you, but it's not the same.

I really want to see you again soon.

Maybe your guardian can talk to Heperu and get him to let up a bit?

I can't wait to see you, and hold you in my arms again, Ves.

With love,

Luka

‧₊˚ ┊ One wouldn't think it upon a glance, but Vil is actually quite a big fan of animated films! He did some voice work for a few movies and shows when he was younger, and it was during that time that he grew to love the art form. While Vil isn't an animator himself, he greatly appreciates the time and effort they put into their craft and thinks very highly of those in the industry! I mean all this to say, Vil would certainly be a covert Disney fan. (While he quite likes the animated movies, he cannot stand any of the live action remakes — he just doesn't see the point in them.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Vil is by no means one of those Disney adult types. Don't get me wrong, he will absolutely make sure his management team gets him a seat at the premiere of their next big film, but he's not gonna be Disney bounding or collecting merch. Well, he has some merch, specifically multiple original animation cells that he keeps in pristine condition. (They're lowkey his pride and joy, but if you ask he'll just say he's a collector lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Of course, Vil is very much supportive of your adoration for Disney! He would love to invite you to join him as his plus one when one of their new movies premieres, but he doesn't want to expose you to his fans and the public eye. To make up for it, he'll buy you all the merch your heart desires! Be it cute accessories, blind boxes, trinkets, or whatever else, if you want it, consider it yours. Vil would also love to go to a Disney park with you, but he'd, obviously, be recognized and swarmed with you in tow. Thankfully, he can pull some strings and get you both into the park either before or after hours so you can spend some time together enjoying the attractions without being hounded by nosy fans. (Yes, he will wear matching Mickey ears with you, but only because he loves you because otherwise, he wouldn't be caught dead wearing those things lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Idia just doesn't get it. Disney and everything it puts out is soooooooo overrated in his humble opinion. He remembers vaguely enjoying some of the movies as a kid, but he grew out of that a looooooong time ago. Now, he just sees Disney as a corporate entity rather than a creative entity. Idia is a hater, plain and simple. When it comes to you, though, he'll bite his tongue and keep his opinions to himself. (While he generally has a less-than-positive view of Disney, he makes no attempt to squash your love for the company.)

‧₊˚ ┊ The closest thing Idia's gotten to liking Disney is from playing Kingdom Hearts. He had a relatively positive opinion of the games, but the lore was way too complicated and the assortment of Disney characters kinda took him out of it. Still, Idia will totally sit and let you watch him replay all the games — he's playing everything from the three main games to Re:Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, Dream Drop Distance and the like — just because he thinks you'd like them, since they prominently feature Disney characters. (Idia absolutely hatessssss Donald by the way, like every time that duck opens his mouth his hair flashes a bright red lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Idia isn't exactly anti-Disney, but his negative outlook on the company doesn't stop him from wanting to make you happy. He definitely feels bad that he can't bring himself to leave his room and venture to one of the hot, crowded, overstimulating Disney parks, so he tries his best to make it up to you in other ways. He gives you his card so you can buy whatever Disney merch you want, whenever you want. As cringey as he finds most Disney movies to be, he will, on occasion, sit and watch one with you if you ask him nicely enough. (He will deny liking any of the movies you watch together, but if you look closely, you might notice that over time, his dislike isn't as strong as he claims it is lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Due to the relative isolation Malleus grew up in, it took him quite some time to actually sit down and watch his first movie. In all honesty, he didn't find it to be very special, especially since he could easily conjure up moving pictures and the like using his magic. Animated movies were similarly lackluster to him, but he could at least commend their artistry and dedication to their craft. However, what did stir Malleus' heart was your love for these films. (He just likes seeing you happy, even if that happiness comes from something that he's not the biggest fan of.)

‧₊˚ ┊ While Malleus doesn't really see the appeal of Disney and its movies, he will absolutely sit and binge-watch them with you. He will pretend he's above watching pictures move on a screen, but he will sit there and let you play all your favorite movies just so he can cuddle up with you and share popcorn or other snacks. Malleus finds it cute when you quote lines from whatever you're watching and will look at you with stars in his eyes whenever you burst out into a musical number, even if you're terribly off-key. (He will absolutely mog you when it comes to singing, so don't try to get him to join in unless you want to get totally outclassed vocally lol.)

Your Twisted Wonderland match is… Trey Clover!

‧₊˚ ┊ We have selected Trey as your match because we believe that his caring and supportive nature is exactly what you're looking for in a partner! Heartslabyul's Vice Housewarden is as gentle and compassionate as they come, and we have no doubt that he is ready and willing to help you with your struggles. Trey is by no means a mental health expert, but he has no problem expending his knowledge in that field to better assist you! He holds none of your mental health struggles against you and will absolutely never judge you for them. Trey can be a bit of a mother hen, but he doesn't baby you whatsoever. Comforting you is the first thing on his mind, but he understands that it's not something you enjoy and will instead offer silent support or what he hopes is useful advice. Trey knows that despite you being somewhat sheltered, that you're not naive or incapable in any way and completely respects your autonomy in every regard. Still, you'll find that he genuinely enjoys tending to you. Trey doesn't mind helping you keep up with your hygiene or reminding you to eat and stay hydrated, so never feel like you're being a burden to him. He knows you can be stubborn at times, but he encourages you to be more gentle with yourself. Trey appreciates that you try your best to stay strong for others, but you too need a break from trying to keep it together all the time. He, too, values communication and while he much prefers face-to-face discussion, he's happy to accommodate for your dislike of it. All Trey really wants is for you to trust him enough to open up, and he'll do what he must to make sure you're comfortable with doing so. He, admittedly, will feel very guilty if he doesn't notice your declining mental health and will partially blame himself for not intervening if you so happen to relapse. Trey, of course, will never make these situations about himself, and will focus entirely on getting you to a place where you don't feel like you need to hurt yourself. He, obviously, does everything he can to keep you in good spirits, and that includes encouraging you to participate in your hobbies more often! Trey is relatively friendly with Rook, so he can hook you up with the hunter if you want to get back into archery and he, himself, is happy to join you in the kitchen to do some cooking and baking! Trey doesn't mind that you're a picky eater or that you can't handle sweets that well, but he is perfectly fine with tailoring and tweaking recipes to your tastes! With your anemia, he's very careful about making sure you get enough iron in your diet as well as any other vitamins and nutrients you might need. Trey is basically your human reminder system when it comes to making sure you take your meds because the last thing he wants is for your organs to start failing. He's also very good about taking care of you when you have a migraine, limiting your exposure to any bright lights and loud sounds until the pain goes away. Overall, Trey is a deeply compassionate and loving guy who we sincerely hope will bring an abundance of light, love, and joy to your life!

Hey, Moth.

I'm not really sure how to start this off, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm always here for you.

I know things aren't always easy for you and that's alright.

I'll do whatever I can to support you, so please, don't ever feel like you can't come to me.

No one is meant to beat the weight of the world on their own, and I'll gladly shoulder the burden with you.

You're feelings — the good and the bad — matter to me, you matter to me, and I want to make sure you know that nothing will ever change that.

It won't always be easy, but even in your darkest moments, I'll be there to help pull you back into the light.

Always remember: you matter, not just to me, but to countless others.

I love you, and I'm so incredibly proud of you and how far you've come,

Trey ♧

‧₊˚ ┊ Minajael has been surrounded by knights for basically all his life. Most join a royal household, big or small, the moment they graduate from squire to fill fledged knight. There's a stability in being beneath a banner — food, decent pay, and shelter — but at the same time, it strips away some freedom. It's give and take, in a sense, but it's not for everyone. (Still, most choose the path of formal knighthood for its clear benefits.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Some, like yourself, take the oath of a knight, but swear no fealty to any one lord or house. Hedge knights such as yourself lack the… prestige allotted to their 'official' counterparts. No one thinks of you when they imagine a night. No, they think of shiny armor, polished swords, and flowing capes. For a hedge knight, such things are a luxury.

‧₊˚ ┊ You see, since hedge knights aren't formally employed by any lord or house, money can be quite hard to come by. It is up to those a hedge knight serves — the everyday people — to compensate them accordingly or sometimes not at all. Such is the life of a hedge knight; one bound by a duty to be brave, be just, and protect the innocent. (Thankfully, most people are kind enough to at least offer food or other goods if they can't pay with money.)

‧₊˚ ┊ It is by no means a position with recognition or prestige, but it is one that brings you great satisfaction and fulfillment nonetheless. While your disillusionment with the formalities of knighthood led you to walk that rarely trodden path, you hold no ill will towards those who would lend their swords to some greater cause. In fact, you get along quite well with Sebek and Silver despite them being sworn to Malleus and, in turn, House Draconia. In your experience, most sworn knights look down on you for being a vagabond of sorts, but they only ever judge you by the strength of your resolve and your skill with a sword. (No matter what, you're brothers in arms even if your swords are lent to different causes!)

‧₊˚ ┊ Now, back to Minajael! Hedge knights, while incredibly rare, are not a new concept to him. There have been few who have visited the royal court, lending their services to his family for a time before leaving to continue their work. Some stayed, taking the official oath to join the royal knights, but most took their leave after their contractual obligations were complete. (If he remembers correctly, a few hedge-knights-turned royal-guardsmen are still employed by his family to this day.)

‧₊˚ ┊ In his younger years, Minajael found himself jealous of the hedge knights that would come and go from the palace. They could go wherever they wanted, do as they pleased, and help the people of the land along the way. It was the freedom he craved — the absence of pressure, of expectations, of responsibilities, and of anything to do with being prince. So, when he met you, a knight with the freedom to roam as they pleased, Minajael was, admittedly, jealous of you too. (He didn't hide it very well, though. Minajael wears his emotions on his face and doesn't try to hide what he's feeling at all.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Minajael very quickly got over his jealousy of you, instead, taking a great interest in the tales of your travels throughout Twisted Wonderland. He literally has you sit for hours upon hours — with bathroom, hydration, and snack breaks, of course — listening to you talk about your various escapades as a hedge knight. Minajael's personal favorite is how you once found yourself in the company of a young boy who you took to squire, only to later find out that he was a prince belonging to the Queendom of Rose's royal family! (Minajael is familiar with the boy in question, and he can confirm that he is quite the little troublemaker!)

‧₊˚ ┊ Through these tales, Minajael could experience the freedom he'd longed for since his youth. You were a breath of fresh air in many senses. Not only did you open his eyes to the wonders of the world outside his gilded cage, but you — despite the power and class difference between the two of you — treated him like a normal person. Of course, you were formal in the beginning, but you dropped 'my prince' and 'your grace' very quickly after Minajael insisted that you simply call him by his name. (Most continue to refer to him formally despite his assurances that he preferred them not to, so he's beyond thankful that you didn't just dismiss him.)

‧₊˚ ┊ The closeness between a prince and his knight is the kind of thing spoken about in poems, songs, stories and the like. You, however, were not Minajael's knight. You weren't sworn to him or his house, but you were his in a different way. He would never seek to bind himself to you through a knightly oath of fealty. Your freedom is your own, and Minajael would never dare to strip you of it just to keep you close to his heart. Instead, he let the affection between the two of you blossom slowly, but surely, over many deep conversations, shared secrets, and whispered confessions. (Minajael has never been as honest with someone as he's been with you. He trusts you with every fiber of his being, which isn't very easy for him to do.)

‧₊˚ ┊ For you, Minajael would abandon his title, leave behind his life, and start a new one with you. One where the weight of being prince doesn't weigh so heavily on his shoulders. One where he can go wherever he pleases with the one he loves by his side. One where he can go where he pleases. One where he can see everyday people, talk to them, and help them in a way he couldn't from atop the throne. He made the suggestion to you on more than one occasion with a glimmer in his eyes and a spark of hope in his heart. While you never gave a concrete yes or no — only a 'maybe' or 'perhaps one day' — Minajael hopes that you'll make his wildest dreams come true. (If anyone can help him attain this future he so desperately craves, it's you.)

Your Twisted Wonderland match is… Idia Shroud!

‧₊˚ ┊ We have selected Idia as your match because we feel that both your interests and personalities align quite nicely! Ignihyde's Housewarden is as introverted as they come, so he certainly matches your attitude in that regard. Like you, Idia is somewhat jaded and always worries about being looked at differently because of the Shroud family curse. He's been made fun of for his pale, gaunt appearance and his flaming hair for all his life, so he completely understands why you'd be guarded around people he doesn't know very well. Similarly to you, Idia does have his more extroverted moments! When it comes to talking about his interests or bragging about his intellect, he loses every ounce of reservation he once had! Idia can be very enthusiastic when he's discussing something he's passionate about, which means conversations between the two of you have a tendency to get pretty loud! By the way, you don't have to worry about him thinking your laugh is 'weird'. Idia quite literally cackles like an old hag when he finds something funny, so he's not gonna judge you at all in the slightest! The two of you are THE nerdy couple! Idia likes all the things you like! He's a bit embarrassed to admit that he likes romance anime, but will sit down and binge-watch an entire twelve episode series with you, no hesitation. Also, Idia is a huge gacha game whale — well, maybe kraken would be a better comparison given the sheer amount of money he's spent on the many games he plays. Being the lovely and generous boyfriend he is, Idia will, of course, let you use his card for all of your gacha purchases. In fact, use his card for anything you want — clothes, shoes, games, books, manga, plushies, perfume, posters, figures, and whatever else your heart desires! Like you, Idia hates studying and only really 'attends' — if you can even call it that — class so he doesn't get marked as truant. He's highly intelligent and easily aces all his classes — other than PE, of course — with very little effort. If you ever need help with a particular subject, Idia is happy to help, so don't be afraid to ask! He really appreciates how kind and open-minded you are. Idia can definitely be a bit closed off and prickly, but your understanding nature helps him feel a lot less self-conscious! On a lighter note, you've met your match when it comes to collecting things! Idia mostly collects merch from his favorite games and anime — and his favorite idol group, Premo — and is happy to monetarily contribute to expanding your collection! His love language is most definitely gift giving, so expect lots and lots of expensive and hard to find merch as presents from him! Idia doesn't leave his room very often, but he would absolutely love spending time in yours! Similarly to his room, yours is decorated from floor to ceiling, which makes it feel somewhat homey to him despite it being outside of his small bubble. The only time you'll ever get him to leave is room if you invite him to hang out in yours. It is our sincere belief that you and Idia are two peas in a pod, and for that reason we believe that the two of you will get along spectacularly for a long time to come!

Baileyyyyyy!!!

I think I'm gonna crashout!

You know that limited edition lottery figure I told you I signed up to get?

Well, the drawing was today, and I totally didn't win it! (´；ω；`)

I mean, I thought my luck stat was high enough to guarantee I'd win, but it looks like it was wayyyy lower than I thought.

I used literally like, a hundred alt accounts, but not a single one ended up winning.

Now I have to search for it secondhand from shitty scalpers that double the price.

It's not the money that I'm pissed about, it's the mere principle of it, you know?

Grrrrrrrr, I’m mad just thinking about it! ( ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾

Anyway, I was writing this to ask if you minded coming over to take my mind off this huge L.

I can come over to yours too, either way, I just wanna see you and stop thinking about all this bullshit.

I'm in desperate need of your comfort thanks to this negative mood debuff,

Idia (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) 

‧₊˚ ┊ Ruggie is constantly on that grind, hustling and working his tail off not only with his studies, but with his part-time jobs and duties around Savanaclaw as well. Motivation is not a struggle for him, but he can understand not having it in you to finish something you've started. In all honesty, he sometimes just wants to dodge his responsibilities and put them off until later, but he never actually ends up doing so. (Leona, please give this poor hyena a day off, he deserves it.)

‧₊˚ ┊ As previously stated, Ruggie is a pretty busy guy, so he doesn't always have the time to check in and make sure you're on track. Of course, he'd love to have all the time in the world to sit by your side and keep you motivated, but his life just doesn't allow for that. (The universe does not want him spending time with his girlfriend fr.)

‧₊˚ ┊ On the rare occasion that Ruggie does have some free time, he'll stick around and urge you to complete some of your projects! He's not intense about it, and will kinda just suggest that you go back and wrap things up. If the motivation isn't there, then Ruggie will do his best to sort of hype you up and get you in the mood to tackle those unfinished projects of yours!

‧₊˚ ┊ Writing isn't his strong suit, but he'll happily read over anything you've written to help you catch any errors or give you ideas on want you might want to add! Similarly, he knows just about nothing about painting, but will do what he can to make it easier for you to finish a piece! Bracelet making is, surprisingly, something Ruggie has done before! He used to make little beaded bracelets and necklaces with the other kids in his neighborhood when he was younger, so he's definitely a huge help in this area.

‧₊˚ ┊ While Ruggie may not have all the time in the world to devote to making sure you stay motivated, he takes what time he can to make sure you at least finish what you started! If he can, then he'll help you out, and if he's out of his depth, then he'll stay back and encourage you instead!

‧₊˚ ┊ If you think you're procrastinating is bad, then you haven't met Hall of Fame procrastinator Mr. Floyd Leech. This eel quite literally still had late assignments from his freshman year that he swears he'll get to one of these days. (He's lying. All men do is lie lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Floyd loves you — you're his girlfriend, his shrimpy — but he does not help your tendency to procrastinate. He's the type of boyfriend to do everything in his power to distract you from your projects because he wants your attention. (You'd swear he's a needy little puppy and not an overgrown eel lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ That being said, Floyd can be supportive when he sees you losing motivation. It all depends on his mood, to be honest. One day, he's snatching your textbook out of your hands and pulling you into an affectionate squeeze, and the next he's staring you down and making sure you finish what you set out to do.

‧₊˚ ┊ If need be, Floyd will step in and help you himself. You're on your own when it comes to any assignments — unless he's in the mood to do some academics — bit he's happy to assist you with your painting and bracelet making. Floyd really likes the bracelets you make and will absolutely wear a few himself, so he's primed to get in on the action and lend a hand when you need him to! Painting might not be his strong suit, so he'll stick to washing your brushes and mixing colors for you as you need them!

‧₊˚ ┊ Floyd's helpfulness is as finicky as his mood. It's unpredictable and changes on a dime, but when he sets his mind to it, he is not only a good motivator, but a helping hand too! (He expects you to help him squeeze him as payment for him helping you out. If he's feeling greedy, then he'll ask you to let him bite you once or twice too lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ You and Idia are in the same boat, to be honest. He's got a million different ideas bouncing around in his head and just as many things distracting him, which leave a lot of his projects half finished. He always swears he'll get around to finishing them, and sometimes he does, but it doesn't happen often. (He's got a half-built teleportation machine somewhere that he's been putting off for years now lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Naturally, Idia isn't the best at making sure you finish your projects, but he tries his best. He has a bunch of reminders set for himself, so he'll go out of his way to set up some for you too! Whether they work or not, obviously, depends on your motivation, but at least Idia is doing what he can. (He's trying his best, so cut him some slack, alright?)

‧₊˚ ┊ Idia too actually struggles with motivation, so he completely understands losing the will to do something halfway through completing it. Usually, Ortho is the one to come around and pull him out of his funk, but sometimes even that doesn't work. All this is to say, Idia totally gets where you're coming from and isn't at all judging you. (We love when a boyfriend supports his girlfriend unconditionally lol.)

‧₊˚ ┊ Idia is a smart guy, so he's happy to check over and read your writing as a way of encouraging you to finish what you started! Creative stuff like painting and bracelet making, however, aren't his area of expertise. So, Idia won't be of much help in this area, but he'll do what he can to encourage you to take the steps to finish whatever you started working on!
