#(...yeah)

Only you, the magicless student of this prestigious school, was annoyed about the loud noises stopping you from concentrating on the notes you've written in professor's Trein class this morning. And that much was obvious, as your three friends did not fail to see your clear annoyance and concentration at the notebook in front of you.

A call of your name did little to distract you, but you lifted your eyes at the two first years in front of you “You alright? You haven't said a word since we got here”

You blinked three times before lifting your head properly and looking at them, “Yes, sorry. I was just- there was something in Trein's class that got my attention so I'm trying to study it as much as I can. Yet somehow, I feel like what professor Trein said is not enough. Makes me more confused than anything else really”

The Heartslabyul students looked at each other then back at you “What exactly are we talking about?”

“That really old tradition people used to do in the Kingdom of Heroes? You know the one”

“What? You mean the one where the people sealed their marriage by biting into a pomegranate at the same time?” Deuce was the first to react, he didn't have a nick for history, but it didn't mean he didn't try to at least pay attention to Trein's lectures

“Oh yeah! It was something about biting from the same fruit and bonding your souls or something. Didn't he also mention that the tradition was for the people to also get intimate right after? To seal the bond forever?”

You nodded eagerly, you were more than happy that the boys paid attention to at least get the basics of that tradition “Exactly! Hard to believe you actually paid attention. I almost thought you'd have fallen asleep just like Grim did 5 minutes into the lecture”

“Hey! The Great Grim never falls asleep without a reason! I already knew all that stuff so I decided to take a nap and make more space into my brain for even more useful information — the cat stuffed his face with whatever he had left in his food tray — It would've been such a great nap if that pesky cat didn't wake me up!”

“Dude — Ace shook is head — it's not like it's Lucius' fault, you fell asleep so you had to suffer the consequences. No idea why you keep doing it”

“What do you know!? You were close to snoring too! Don't think I didn't see you!”

“No I wasn't you we-”

“Okay! — you clapped your hands — before we draw the attention of the whole cafeteria, how about we get back to the matters at hand? You all remember the S.T.Y.X incident right?”

The two shuddered “Ugh, you don't have to remind me”

You nodded “From what Ortho explained to me, Epel and Rook, the Ancient City where the Isle of Woe is was part of the Kingdom of Heroes long ago. So I've been wondering...what if they had the same tradition Trein was talking about?”

You knew where you were going with this, yet the boys did not follow, you looked up at them and said it bluntly: “What if Idia's family tree had the same traditions?”

They still did not follow “Maybe? I don't know, so what if they did?”

You gently slammed your hands on the table and leaned towards the two “I'm asking because I want to do the same thing with Idia you idiots”

You looked them dead in the eyes until their gears clicked and the reaction came fast. Ace was bewildered, Deuce was embarrassed. And Grim, well, you consider yourself lucky that Grim has yet to find out what getting intimate with someone means.

“W-w-wait! Wait! You want to do this... with Mr. Shroud?!”

“Shh!! Not so loud! This is supposed to be between us!”

“I will never ever understand what you see in him really. He stays in his room all the time and does nothing but game. He barely shows up to class! He's real freaky if you ask me”

Before you opened your mouth, another voice already decided to give Ace a piece of his mind “How mean! I'll have you know my big brother is one of the smartest people in this campus! Just because he doesn't show up to class doesn't mean you should underestimate him!”

The silent heads turned to the little humanoid flying right behind the red haired boy. “Ortho! How long have you been standing there?”

“Oh! Since the start of the conversation! I happened to hear what you said! So I got something for you!”

Ortho gingerly flew behind you and extended his hands, in his palms, rested a nice and healthy pomegranate. He smiled happily as you stared agape at the fruit “Wh- for me? You- what?”

“I can confirm all that you said is accurate! While unfortunately we don't do those traditions anymore, we had them for a very long time! And I can assure you big brother knows all about it! So you're free to do it! I'm sure he'll be really happy!”

You gently took the fruit from Ortho's hands and looked at it. You grinned at the humanoid as you hugged him with one hand “Thank you so so so much Ortho! You are an angel!”

You turned to your three companions, smiling triumphantly and waving them goodbye. You had somewhere to be “I have to go! See you guys soon!”

Before the boys could call for you, you already left them behind, sprinting to the mirror chamber, into Ignihyde and to Idia's room, more than excited for what was to come. That is, if he accepted it, of course.

By the time you were in front of Idia's room, you were glowing, swinging back and forth on your feet in front of his door. You held the pomegranate tightly behind your back, hidden from his sight as you wanted it to be a surprise and you gently raised your hand and knocked five times.

Three knocks louder, two quieter.

It was a code you'd agreed on a while ago. It was something that helped Idia know that you're the one coming over, and not anyone else. His own person of comfort.

It wasn't long until you heard a squeak and the sound of hurried scrambling coming closer to the door. After a minute, the room opened and there stood Idia : glowing blue hair peeking out of a half opend door. His eyes looked into yours as he fumbled for a way to greet you

“...hi”

“Hi Idia — you tilted your head, smiling — can I come in?”

“Oh! Uh, yeah come on”

You slowly steeped into his room, careful as to not divulge your surprise. Idia observed you for a moment before narrowing his eyes at you.

“Are you scheming something?”

“What? Me? No no of course not! Whatever made you think that?”

He looked down at your hands hidden behind your back and grabbed a part of his hair as an anchor “You won't show me your hands...I swear if you and Ortho are planning a prank again...I won't survive it! I'll be K.Oed before you'll even reach the punchline!”

“No no no it's not a prank Idia calm down! I just — you looked away in an attempt to search for your words — I just wanted to do something with you...if you want to of course”

He raised his brow “Like- like game? Or something...what? Just spit it out what? You wanna break up?!”

“No! It's just- ugh! Here!” In a dash, you revealed your hands and pushed the red and rich fruit in his chest.

He let out a shriek half expecting for the fruit to explode in a bunch of confetti. But...it did nothing. He raised his eyes at you, your face was nearly tilting down to the floor and he could not ignore the way your ears had a red flush to them.

He didn't know what was going on, but somehow, your attitude made his own face red and the tips of his hair pink “...wh- what am I looking at... No, right it's a-a pomegranate yes I know. But uh, why?”

Your eyes widded as you bought the fruit closer. You came closer to him and looked him in the eyes “I- I found this thing, in Trein's class about- about uh- about the Kingdom of Heroes- you know where your island originated from and- — you tried to find your words — DO YOU WANT TO DO THE POMEGRANATE RITUAL WITH ME IDIA?!”

...

...huh?..

...HUUUUH?!

Idia's reaction came in an instant. He was no idiot, he knew exactly what you were talking about. But this?! It's been like a thousand years since this tradition literally ceased to exist! And now you come and want to do it with who? With HIM?! He won't survive this! He won't!

Ah but he really really wants to do it!

You've been intimate with Idia before, but it was only once and boy it has been a long time since then. Is he even ready? How will he handle it? Would you be disappointed and leave? What if-

“Idia!”

Your voice pulled him out of his thoughts. Only now had he realized he was nearly hyperventilating out of embarrassment.

He tumbled backwards on the bed and you sat with him, gently holding him in your hands “Sorry sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry we don't have to do it- we really don't-”

“No! No! I want to do it I want to I — there was a pause as he inhaled again — I was just caught off guard”

You looked down at him and found his eyes already on you, he was much calmer now, though the color of his hair didn't return to its usual blue.

“I really do want to do it...but are you sure? You know what this means... don't you?”

You nodded

“You really wanna marry someone like me? Bond your soul, or something...to-to me?”

You smiled and kissed him on the forehead “Of course Idia! I love you, I will always love you so much. I can't imagine my life with someone else but you”

He made a tiny 'oh' as if he had a revelation, then slowly stood up and showed his hands to you. A clear yet slightly hesitant gesture.

You took the pomegranate from where you temporarily sat it on his bed and put half of the fruit in Idia's hands, so both of you could hold it in equal parts.

He looked down at the fruit, hands trembling. You followed his gaze and looked down at his shaking hands. You wasted no time and inched your fingers closer to his, and rested them on his hands. His hair flared at the contact as his eyes came to rest on your figure

You really were damn beautiful. Everything about you was mesmerized. To this day Idia still thinks : how did he even manage to get with someone as amazing as you? So understanding and so...so perfect in every way? He looked at you as you smiled at him softly, raising the fruit to your mouth slowly waiting for him to do the same.

Wasting no time, Idia followed suit, raising the fruit in your rhythm and also scooting closer to you at the same time.

When the fruit was raised to your lips, the both of you slowly bit into it, letting the red juice coat your lips as you tasted the sweet aroma. You ran a finger over your lips as you made a little 'mmm' , relieving the taste.

You looked back at Idia, who was now looking down at his hands resting in his lap, clearly nervous, not bothering to clean his lips of the juice left behind. “Hey” you whispered, catching his attention. You grabbed his face and gently kissed him on the lips.

Idia froze for a second before he relaxed into the kiss, his hands finding your hips and clutching at your shirt. You took it further and started licking away the pomegranate juice on his lips. The man let out a whimper in surprise, clutching your shirt harder, leaning into the kiss more, desperate for more of your tiny licks.

When you pulled away, he was flushed, breathing heavily. You giggled and kissed him on the lips again and again and again, tiny kisses on his lips, then his cheeks then his whole face. And then, you slowly moved down to his neck and shoulders exposed by his black and blue shirt.

By the time you started kissing his neck, Idia was beyond desperate. Hands clutching at your hips and pulling you closer and closer to his body like he wanted to merge the two of you together. He wanted more. More of you and more of this.

You seemed to get his message, because the instant he started gripping harder you placed your hands on his chest and gently moved him to sit on his back, your kissing never faltering. You gently broke the kiss as you watched him catch his breath, leaning forward until your noses were touching “You want me to stay on top this time too?” A considerate question. Unlike the first time though, Idia actually seemed to consider it. After a mere 10 seconds, he looked down and shook his head

“...actually... would you mind if I-I uhh- would you mind if I was on top this time? I'd- I'd probably ruin it but...I really want to do this”

You smiled and let yourself fall onto bed “The pleasure's all mine Idia”

He gulped as he got up to sit above you, then, he carefully started placing tiny kisses on your neck and collar bone. Your hand went to grip his hair telling him to keep going, ragged breaths coming out of your mouth and therefore firing him to go further.

He started with tiny bites, then his hands went to your hips, squeezing gently at your skin in an attempt to ground the growing embarrassment and excitement creeping up his own skin. Idia was never a man with too many words, he had always preferred to show you how much he loves you in tiny gestures. Calling you to his room to game, sharing his food and manga with you, watching anime together and even allowing you to take away his first kiss, his first time having sex. Idia loves you and you did so much for him.

This time, when you came to him allowing yourself to ask if he'd wanted to experience this ancient ritual with him, he will be the one to show you his devotion.

His lips parted from your skin as he looked up at you, bottom lip trembling as a mere inch of his fingers came to rest under your shirt. He was nervous no doubt, but he won't let it overcome him this time. You gave him a smile and a nod, “Go ahead baby” His face flushed at the nickname but proceeded with your consent.

He lifted your shirt up and took it off of you, taking a good look at your breasts. You knew Idia held a fondness for your chest. It was usually his resting spot when you had sleepovers in his room. He gulped and his hands instinctively went to your boobs and squeezed them, managing to release a soft whimper out of you. That was what spurred him on, the more he squeezed them the more whimpers you released and the more hurried your breaths became.

It wasn't long until you wished for your boyfriend to do something different “Ids... please, I need more of you” You looked at him pouting and he wasted no time. With all the courage and will he could muster, Idia's hands went lower and he replaced his hands on your chest with his own tongue, lapping up at the valley between them.

His quick action released the moan out of you, a quiet praise of 'yes! That's it Idia' making its way through your lips and straight to his dick.

He groaned at your praise as his mouth continued giving attention to your boobs and his hands went lower and lower until they were standing right above your clit. Idia raised his head out of your chest, a small string of spit connecting his lips to it. He looked down at his hands as he moved himself lower so he could access you better.

You raised your feet just enough for him to get the memo, as his fingers slid under the waistband of your panties and took them off of you, eyeing just how wet you are all from his own actions.

“Ah...” Was all he could say, but you knew better. He was admiring. “Do you remember what I taught you Idia?” He nodded at you as his fingers hovered over your hole. After a minute of grounding himself, in one swift motion, two of his fingers went inside of your hole, making you gasp and moan, back arching off the bed at the sensation.

God above, it felt so fucking good.

Idia let out a squeal, his fingers still inside you “S-sorry sorry, did I hurt you?!”

You shook your head, looking at him with hazy eyes “No no Idia, on the contrary, that felt good. Keep going sweetheart, make me feel good yeah?”

It was obvious that Idia was beyond drunk on your praise and as soon as you finished your sentence, he slowly started to pump his fingers in and out of you, making you moan and gasp against him, hips grinding against his hands.

After a while, Idia gradually started increasing the pace of his fingers, getting more desperate to make you come undone by the second.

And it certainly didn't take long, because in minutes your moans became high pitched, warning Idia of your upcoming climax as his fingers kept hitting that spot inside you just perfectly.

“Shit! Shit! Idia I'm—!”

Your sentence got cut off by something between a high pitched moan and a gasp as you quickly came undone on his fingers. Idia groaned at the sight, slowly working you through your orgasm before he took his fingers out, careful not to hurt you in the process.

You were flushed and breathless and so so proud of him. And you didn't hesitate to voice it as you looked at him licking your cum clean off his fingers “Good Idia that was good. I'm so proud of you”

He jumped in surprise as a smile creeped up his face “Thank- thank you”

You straightened yourself up as you leaned against him “Ready for phase two?”

He nodded excitedly as you stared at him lovingly “Would you let me sit in your lap this time hm?”

“Ah-uh- yeah, yeah”

“Thanks baby” You kissed him on the cheek as your hands went down to rest in his thights. You caressed them to ease the tension as you climbed on in his lap. You put his hands behind his neck as Idia looked up at you, hands holding your hips.

“Go on” You gave him the green flag as he slowly shifted his hands under you to take off his pants. Once those were out of the way, Idia gently lifted you up, lining himself with your hole and slowly sunk you down his member. You let out a pleased moan and it took Idia a lot of restraint to not let you down in one swift motion, letting out a groan of pleasure at your warm walls finally engulfing him.

Taking a minute to breathe, it was you who made the first move as you started to grind on him slowly, hands on his cheeks and forehead to his. Idia responded in kind, for the more you grinded on him, the faster he reacted by thrusting up into you in return. And so, in no time, his ( thankfully ) soundproof room was filled with the sound of skin slapping and the breathy cacophony of moans emitted from the both of you.

You wanted to kiss each other, you really did. You wanted to drown in each other's taste, but the haze of pure bliss rendered the kissing attempts to a mere combination of desperate breaths as you jumped faster and faster on Idia's dick.

He had never had a lot of stamina and you could tell, as his thrusts barely held for an amount of 20 minutes before he became tired. But it was more than clear that he didn't want to stop, so you took it upon yourself to make the both of you finish in sync. In one swift motion, you wrapped your legs around him in a lotus position as you kept riding him just as fast. That action made Idia even more drunk than he already was, as he was completely ruined, gasping and moaning beneath you, eyes unfocused and already drooling.

It wasn't long until you felt your climax coming closer and closer, you looked down at Idia and smiled “I'm close Idia—shit- Are you baby, hm? Can you come for me? With me? Can you baby?”

He let out a guttural groan of pleasure as his hands wrapped around you and his head went right between your boobs again. He spurred you on by licking and sucking at your nipples to make you come faster, but you were no fool, because the instant his head went between your boobs, your hand went right down at the base of his dick, rubbing there until his moans along with yours turned high pitched. And with every groan and moon he let out, the sounds send a spark that went straight to your core.

“Fuck Idia! I'm gonna—”

“Hah— ugghhhhah- shit! Me too me too!”

And in one last thrust from him, the both of you came hard onto one another.

Idia fell on top of you, pushing you onto the bed, panting hard. He pulled out of you with a groan as he sat on the bed, hand covering his eyes.

You looked at him as you let out a breathy laugh “That felt so good Idia, I'm so proud of you”

He let out a laugh “You-you took control again”

“Nah, maybe at the end, but the rest was all you Ids”

He looked at the ceiling and muttered a small 'hm'. He felt proud, he may not have been in control for the whole thing, but the fucked out face you had while his fingers were deep inside your cunt is something he'll never forget.

That image brought a cocky grin to his face.

“What are you grinning about now?”

“Wehhe, nothing~”

You turned your head away “Hmph! Fine! Whatever you say”

You side eyed him as you moved your hand to take his. Idia froze at the contact but he quickly squeezed yours in return.

You fell asleep in each other's arms that night, happy that after this it was no doubt,

Idia will surely speedrun his way to marrying you now, 100% guarantee.
