Azul x Deuce

This conniving powerful merman from the Coral Sea falling for this poor dumbass with a heart of gold barely holding his grades together and they're both trying their best and failing

They're equally protective of each other and Azul finds said protectiveness from Deuce rather endearing even though he can very much take care of himself

Deuce finding Azul's octo form cool and beautiful and Azul is just like "what"

Azul teaching Deuce different ways to cook, Deuce tries to make something for Azul by himself and nearly burns the kitchen down (it wasn't entirely his fault Grim was messing around)

Idk their interactions outside of chapter 3 (especially in Glomas) made me smile and I think they'd be quite cute, even if there are a number of things they'd have to set straight before dating lmao

There so many thoughts swirling but I'm sleepy so I'll post more about this tomorrow maybe

Summary

Deuce has had a bad day. Despite his lack of knowledge on how to comfort a loved one in this sort of situation, Azul does his best.

Notes

azudeu save me,,,, save me azudeu,,,,,,

Valentine's day is such a trip for fandoms, right? Cute date fics. Confession fics. Realization fics. All the good stuff.

The day has some historical attachments right? It just got overshadowed by consumerism and the like. So we could just not care and add it to any world and have it work out the same way.

Worldbuilding, babe.

I was thinking about this for Twisted Wonderland. Because we have the obvious Queen of Hearts. And with the insanity of her kingdom, it would be fun to see what we can come up with. (Other than, "Prefect has a holiday in their world and it's all about love and everyone on campus is thirsty so let's roll with it")

If the Queen of Hearts had a King or a sweetheart, a day could be made to celebrate that connection. In theory, confessing on the day could bring good luck? That would be cute. And it spiralled from there until it became more associated with cheesy gestures than a true bond.

Now the AzuDeu part. Yuu brings up Valentine's Day and Ace and Deuce bring up 'Hearts Day' or whatever we call it and that it's really only a big deal in the Queendom of Roses. Yuu mentions it around the Tweels and Azul panics because of course, wouldn't you want a potential love interest to celebrate holidays like that? And Azul very much wants to be Deuce's love interest

So Azul does research, and ignores the Tweels cackling at him, because this is important. And while Ace has the whole 'meh, old fashioned', Deuce is a bit of a romantic from his chats with his dorm mates. So Deuce would actually find it lucky/cute to be confessed on this day.

Yuu and the Tweels, tired of their pining friends, make a huge event of the day because of 'unity'. Which of course, gets in the way of Azul and Deuce actually spending the day together.

A full day of insanity and possible fireworks and confession kisses at the end!

It does not go very well
