Ok, so, we all agree this second born prince is the laziest, prideful, arrogant beastman ever existed. He always takes naps to avoid responsibility yet always gets awake when it comes to his own interests.

So, imagine him actually getting up RIGHT after he hears your voice?

Oh boy, he did NOT notice that before. Even though he's always attentive and perspective with certain things, he has NEVER noticed this certain change in him before. Like it's like out of his own instincts, he just gets up and starts to find you with a lazy yawn. Almost like his brain just sets that schedule up already..

I mean, he's going to take a nap..then- Wait, he hears your voice and he already be opening his eyes like he did not just wanna sleep then proceeds to get up and follow your voice with one of his lion ears flicking to catch the slightness voice of yours

BUT when he gets asked by Ruggie's teases, that's when he tenses out of his sleepiness, his eyes grew wide and lips pursed with a still tail. Oh shit is what literally comes to his mind as he shook it off and denies the teases of Ruggie's (even though Ruggie KNOWSSS bro's denying but lets it slide)

He was a bit self aware by that now- Yet...HIS INSTINCTS KEPT NUDGING HIM AND FORCING HIM TO ACT UP BEFORE HE COULD THINK ABOUT IT..He doesn't know why his instincts keep trying to make him do that but I guess blame it on his species! (What the lions do tho :c)

However...he can't seem to stop. Literally he tried to ignore your voice and tried to take a nap but nope! You keep "waking him up." Hell, it will fully wake him up when he hears another voice with you- (+Extra: And he proceeds to loom over there like a VERY grumpy lion and side eyes the person you are talking with)

With that, it gets him even MOREE grumpier than before...always grumbling, muttering, or even cursing underneath his breath if you were around. Not that he was mad at you, more like mad at himself...Why would he let his primal instincts get a hold of him around you!?

Ofc, he was never used to these weird feelings and strange sudden instincts in him...So, at first, he thought you were a prey. A weak herbivore just begging to be caught in a predator's jaw (OoOooO, Scary-/jkjk)

Although...After a few (not really) months, He was finalllyyyyy confronted about it with Ruggie again, who found this hilarious with a dumbfounded Leona and simply said: "Awwh, Leona-sama is in loveee~!" adding a snicker at the end....and ohhhh boy, Leona's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if it was from terror or...something else...

He's not in love...Nuh uh, he isn't! He swears he isn't!!!

...But oh you...Your voice, your personality, your appearance, your smile...oh that damn smile of yours..his heart beats a skip for you...Oh, how he wished to take you. Not as a predator anymore, oh no, more like a loverman wanting his lover to be by his side and spend time while holding each other

The more he digs deeper with this knowledge and feelings, the more he wants to drag you to his usual nap spot in the gardens of NRC and just hid there for hours, just cuddling and snuggling...God, he's desperate now....Please, notice him- WAIT, NOO!!! Stupid Leona! Focus focus! Time to nap! NOOO!!!

Let's say Leona was...a lovesick fool after he found out about his instincts screaming at him bc of you. Not that he will EVER admit it! Expect him being more clingier than before though....

I apologize for my late response!! Man, this was very fun to write tbh!! (I say as I finished this at night O_O)

I hope you enjoyed this one, Anon!!<3

I mighttt have made mistakes tho...Pls do tell me and I will quickly fix it!!

Riddle Rosehearts

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Ok, let's be honest with Riddle, everyone knows who's Riddle and how, as a housewarden, he is the most composed, strict, firm individual of all NRC. He's basically the "perfect" student of NRC and his own dorm. He never lets that slide, nor even his composed font.

So, imagine him witnessing his usual calm s/o actually defending themselves against a rude individual in live?

"....Oh Sevens-" Riddle muttered underneath his breath like it was between in awe of words or a curse word.

Man, his reaction was literally his jaw DROPPING.

I mean, he was very very INRAGE that this random rude individual decided to come up to YOU, his beloved darling, and bluntly started to insult you..IN FRONT OF HIM! Ofc, he was going to do the significant "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!" Spell buttttt...you beaten him to it

Instead of magic, you literally came up with your own comeback that was so messed up yet calm for the rude person to suddenly stumble back with tears on their eyes....then ran away while yapping "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME!!"....And oh boy, Riddle heard everything you had said to the rude person

He didn't knew how to react, but to be honest? He won't admit it but he's VERY proud that you shut that student up without hesitation!....Welp- Not really on the crying part, but you know.

Like whoever thought his s/o, his sweet calm lover of his, had that in them!? He doesn't even know if he should be grinning like a kid or have himself ramble about rules to the defender and a punishment to them....But with how you stood, composed, like a normal day is passing by, made him smile. Smile of pride.

I mean, you opened the doors for him to actually compliment you even after that. To show that he wasn't disappointed or weirded out. Nope, he was proud proud.

"Never thought you'll be the one to stand up for yourself...That's a skill right there."

In other words, his reaction would be shocked yet soon turning to proud for you. That's his lover, guys!!

Leona Kingscholar

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Leona is known as the prideful, arrogant second born he is. Yes, he also lazy at a lot of things with taking lots of naps here and there. Yet, he has his pride like his tournaments, his interests, and opinions. Always having a prideful font for everyone to see.

So imagine seeing his s/o, his herbivore, who's usually calm and composed, suddenly defending themself against a stupid offender to the point the other cried?

"...Whoever thought my herbivore can do that" Leona smugly smirked with crossed arms.

Oh BOY...Leona is shocked at first but after a few seconds, he suddenly gets amused by this new sight before him.

Like it's to the point after the offender runs away, Leona walks up to you like a prideful lion he is and starts to tease you. HELL, even praise you for standing up for yourself (not in a very loud way- More like it sounds like a tease at first, but he's actually praising you. Yk?)

Not only that, he may not showed it but internally? OHH NAH, he's doing a happy dance in his mind. Like he's so damn proud of you that he will LITERALLY show you off (not to the point it gets you uncomfy. Just to the point he's like "Yeah, my lover can kick your ass verbally")

I also so see him being that type of man who admires people who stand up for themself. Like before you standing up for yourself, he didn't mind standing up for you..but after that? Ohh, man, he started to admire you for that. He loves those guts! Keep it up!!

And I'll be honest, since that encounter, he's already thinking you can easily take care of yourself when he's away. He don't got be that protective with you...Well, he is protective, but not that much like before. Just lingering there when you really really need him.

But buddy, don't get me started with him, he probably has fallen in love with you even more. Like I'm telling you, one of my main headcanons about him when it comes to having a "calm" lover, he loves when his lover suddenly shows dominance. Like you just defending yourself or showing of authority/scaring off others with your demeanor? Oh, buddy, he's fainting like a damsel upon seeing her man- SOMEONE CATCH HIM, CHAT-- MAN DOWN! I REPEAT, MAN DOWN-

"Look what you're turning me into, Herbivore!"

In other words, his reaction is DEFINITELY welcome. Like Y/N, why would you hide that from him? That side of yours? NEVER DO THAT -He says very loudly. . . .

Azul Ashengrotto

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Azul is always known as the merchant from the sea. A cunning yet wise, manipulative octopus merman in disguise. Some even called him a witch! (Get it? Heh..)

So, imagine this so not scammer's s/o, who's always calm and polite to others, suddenly defended themself in the most brutal honest towards a very rude individual?

"......Aaahh?" Azul couldn't help but let that out without even thinking-

Welp, pack it up, bro's reaction is LITERALLY him having his jaw drop like WIDE WIDE and widen eyes like he's THAT shocked...

Matter fact, he was literally about to call the tweels on the offender to come along with him to beat the offender's butt....But nope, Azul and the tweels got the front row seats to actually watch you destroy that offender VERBALLY with CALMNESS...Hell, it shocked him MORE than the tweels. (+Extra: Jade complimented Azul by saying "you have a very interesting lover, Azul" with that grin of his while Floyd was fascinated like "Wowowowoww....Shrimpy's got some guts! Kehehe!!")

I mean, with that in front of him?? Yep, you believe it! He cowers so bad that he got to take some smallll steps towards you and have to offer you one of your favorite, comfort foods/drinks to calm you down since he sometimes can't tell when you're mad or not because of your composed demeanor...(which he won't lie, it's hard- That he overthinks sometimes unless you slip out of the demeanor at those rare times, yk)

And I won't lie...I feel like he admires your guts on defending yourself like that! Yes, that includes the crying part on the offender....cuz come on, literally the tweels and Azul, himself, are sadistic as hell...So, he will be proud of you on making someone, who is very rude, cry like BRAVO, SWEETIE!! Says from the stands lol

Not only that, now it makes him fully aware of that and we'll be making sure to not get in your bad side! Or at least your angry side....

And yes, he can proudly say he's glad that you can defend yourself without his or the tweels' help! That makes him ease to be honest, BUT just in case....he STILL does send one of the tweels (mostly Jade) to be with you while he works on the Monstro Lounge, yk...While the other does the messy work to beat the offenders in your way :3

"Y/N! Sweetie! My love of life- Do you want our specialty in the menu?"

His reaction would be shocked...but also wary with how he gotta make sure he doesn't get to your angry side to have THAT type of calm "rage" respond on him cuz yk, he's gonna pack his stuff and leave right after he knows he won't win a argument</33 /ref

Jamil Viper

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Jamil is known as the manipulative yet wise servant of Al-Asim's royalty. The caretaker of Kalim Al-Asim that's always seen side by side with Kalim. Although, Jamil never lets that distract his studies. Yes, he may the rational one between Kalim and himself, but he's also the perspective one too.

So imagine witnessing his dear s/o's calm composer suddenly take a turn against a offender?

"Oh my?" Jamil raised both eyebrows up in interest.

Let's say his reaction...is kinda expected. He's surprised but VERY much likely he expected this from you.

Nah nah, shush you, you thinking: "Ohh, he saw that through me!" Hunny bunny, no, shush, let me explain- Like yes, one of my main headcanons about him is that he's very perspective to the point he can basically read you like a book. BUT another main headcanon of mine for him is that he knows his people. It's similar to the first one but difference is that he knows how other composed people, like him, could react to certain situations. So, you reacting tooo calmly in a cruel some way to the offender? Oh, buddy, he expected that and yk what? HE LOVES THAT

So, instead of backing off or even loudly praising you, he would walk over to you to be by your side and simply say: "This is why I love you." Then proceeds to smile in pride beneath that hood of his (aka his dorm uniform)

I mean, I won't lie, he did expect you to have a technique to defend yourself but he did not expect THIS comeback of yours to the point the offender cries! Well, he ain't complaining! This is even better

So, yeah, with that knowledge of that technique of yours, he's going to keep that in mind...Just in case something happens to you that you can't handle that situation, he'll come.

Oh and expect lots of praises from him once you two are in private (like the kitchen or his room)

"You were wonderful, Y/N..Never let those below treat you like that."

In other words, his reaction is expected yet still surprised. I mean, he won't lie...He loves the fact you can defend yourself.

Vil Schoenheit

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Vil is known as the most beautiful man in the whole Sage Island. Hell, even many knew this model's name. Just his name alone can either make one faint, one know, or one swoon. Yet he's very strict when it comes to beauty and perfection.

So, imagine his sweet, calm s/o suddenly snapping in the most calmest way possible towards a very rude individual?

"..Y/N!?!" Vil almost sounded like it was between a gasp and a screech.

Let's say...Vil doesn't know if he should be proud or already scolding BOTH you and the offender.

Not because you did anything wrong, no no, BECAUSE WHY ARE YOU WEARING A HOODIE AND SANDALS?!! FAINTS. NO, SHUSH, HOW DARE YOU WEAR THAT IN FRONT OF HIM- LE FAINT- WAIT, CHAT- SOMEONE CATCH HIM!! HE FAINTED, I REPEAT HE FAINTED--

Oh and for the offender, yep, they're getting the SCOLDING of their life cuz one. SCREW YOU. Two. How dare you be rude to his dear beloved of his RIGHT in front of him. And Third...You is ugly AF. Oh and don't worry, Rook chased the person off to catch the offender and brought the individual to him. Let's say the offender did not bother you after that

Ok, serious note though, I so see him being the type to scold you but still be touching you very gently and affectionately like he's telling you another thing. Like he would be scolding you for having those clothes while you defended yourself but his hands won't be stopping on touching your face from your cheeks to your neck to your hair...Yk, like he's basically telling you: "I am not scolding you because you defended yourself. Great job, Sweetheart"

I mean, I'll be honest, he would eventually tell you bluntly, while doing his skin routine (or doing yours), about the fact he's very proud of you standing up for yourself and that he's not mad at you because of it. But he does this only when he sees you're overthinking or getting doubts/seconds thoughts

And yes, he might EVEN pamper you with lots of affections while Rook deals with the offender for a fewww seconds.

"You're very bold...Not that I am complaining, of course."

His reaction would definitely be surprised yet ready to scold. Not that he's mad at you, ofc, just WHYY would you want to see his soul be shattered...OH MY GAWD...LE FAINT

Idia Shroud

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Idia is known as the anti-social, introvert who rarely leaves his room. Yeah, he is the "boss" of S.T.Y.X., one of the most famous companies ever...And yes, he's still a gamer.

So, imagine him, in a rare time, actually witness his s/o calmly having a comeback so good that the offender RAN AWAY AND CRIED?

"UWAHHH!?!?!?" is what Idia squeaked-screech-scream quietly.

His reaction is DEFINITELY surprised...Like he could never have thought his calm, sweet lover actually can come up with..THAT type of comeback!!

NAHH, he doesn't see you as the Level 100 MVP-Healer character you are! NAH, HE SEES YOU AS A LEVEL 99999 BOSS NOW-..Well, not that it's BAD for him. But he basically sees you as a Level 99999 Boss and now himself as the lover of that boss--- WAIT, NO..WHAT IS HE THINKING!?! There's noooo way he's gonna be like that mage with the demon royal/ref (+Extra: ngl, I do see him reading those romantic/shoujen/action mangas made by other people online yk?)

Well, great! It's great that you can defend yourself!! But..YOU NEVER TOLD HIM??? Over here, he was stressing over the fact every time you two were seperated, he won't be able to help you in a nasty situation or- Ykw, he shouldn't be overthinking bc he now knows that won't happen...

BUT HEY! Not that he isn't complaining. He respects your decisions and what you do! Yk, you do you and he's a supporting boyfriend for you!!

So, yes, he may or may not muted his ipad to squeal and have a dramatic, shocked reaction of the whole wide world, yk for a second before locking back in to unmute himself and quietly cheer for you from his room through his ipad

And yes, let's say since that day, he admires you..like A LOT. He would basically sees you as some type of calm yet secretly powerful ruler of some video game that he, for some reason, pulled- YES, YOU'RE A SSS STAR CARD, SHUSH-

"Aaaaaahhh....Y/n to earth-? Are you ok-?!"

His reaction is VERY shocked yet still being supporting like a supporting boyfriend he is!

Malleus Draconia

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Malleus is known as the most feared and powerful mage of all Sage Island. He's wise, ancient-spoken...yet naive when it came to humans.

So, imagine he witnesses his child of man defending themself in such a calming yet cruel way against the offender?

"...." Silence dawns onto Malleus.

Let's say...his first reaction was definiely enraged at the fact that a low-some, human decided to say foul things to you like he wasn't even here. Hell, there might have been thunder lightnings literally a second after the person spoke ill of you.

However, he calmed down a bit after he heard your comeback and not gonna lie..YOU SHOCKED YOUR DRAGON BOY-..His eyes widened with his arms still crossed but with a blink, ANYONE can tell that he was flabbergasted-

Cuz come on! You are usually calm, polite, respectful...It's rare for you (in his opinion!) to act this..harshly! Not that he is complaining tho- No no, he never judges you! No, he's absolutely shocked about the fact you could do that AND you haven't mention that before!!

Ofc, he respects your decisions and always focuses on your comfy and safety, so he doesn't mind that. He focuses on the fact that you literally had a great come back that the offender ran away with tears on those eyes! Man, he's VERY pleased after that shocked feeling wavered off*

I will say though...he's still a bit mad towards the offender and might even have to send some guards on their butt butttt...now that his rational mind is set, he thinks it's already been settled!

Andddd expect a lot of curious yet high praises from him. Dragon boy really is fascinated about the fact you could pulled up like that!!

"Child of man...Whoever thought you could be such an interesting creature?"

His reaction is definitely being mad at the offender like IN RAGE..but that soon turned to shock then to fascination after the comeback you did!

Sorry for the late response!! D: I had to reallyyy think this through and yk, irl stuff got in the way-

I hope this is your liking, annicishana! Anddd I hope this is what ya wanted!

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

Honestly, you really don't recall on how you found it but you do know there's no humans in sight...or merfolks and sirens. Perfect for eating your perfect catch!

Once you arrived, you snuggly used the wet sand to place your webbed hands on it to push yourself up and turn swiftly onto a seating position. Lowering yourself comfily on the wet sand, you tucked your tail almost around your space circle to be in some side sitting position. With your relaxed position and scanning your surroundings to make sure they weren't anyone trying to disturb your peace, you focus back to your catch to place it onto your hands; already starting to devour your food in nasty bites. It's a miracle that it was dead or it will start slapping you with its small fin. Although, It's annoying when that happens but what can you do about it? Tell it let you eat it? Wasting time like that is unbelievable.

You can't imagine the fact someone dumb enough will actually do that-

"EEEEKKK!"

A loud noise ― more like a squeal of a dolphin(??) ― interrupted your train of thoughts, making your head snapped towards the source. Only to catch a sighting of..a person? They were away from you where you can also see the figure's long, braided hair. Specifically red with weird things on their hair. You don't know this person, and you sure hell know not wanting to meet this weirdo.

So, you took your food to be hidden in some spot of a peaking coral to not have the blood flow with the water, ensuring its hidden spot. Then you quickly hid into the water with a single leap, water splashing softly around you. Luckily the figure from a far didn't seem to notice as they were focused on whatever they were squealing over something. You barely could make out their squeaking words, but you could hear the distress of this person.

"Wait wait!! I am not trying to hurt you-!!! I promiiiseee!!!!"

At least you caught on that loud, distressed line. Quietly peeking out of your hiding spot in a wary matter, you couldn't help but locked onto this prey. Perhaps you can get another catch...maybe a bigger one. Specifically..human like catch. Yeah, that would be a good main dish after your fish appetizer!

With determination, you swam with stealth of an apex predator through the big rocks and corals to reach closer in inspection of your meal. Waves gently moving around you with each flick of your tail as the distance grew shorter from you and the prey in sight. Adrenaline filled in your veins when your webbed hands went to grasp a coral to prepare yourself to launch onto this human.

However, when you fully register the supposed human from a few feet away from you, you noticed one thing. The 'human'...had a sparkly-bright green scales on the lower body instead of legs. Not only that, this supposed 'human' had a small like chain wrapped around their pale-skin slender built, revealing weird objects (trinkets) on the rusted-gold chain. It was a merfolk.

Your eyes narrowed to slit upon realizing your mistake, it was a merfolk in this 'deserted' shore that you found peaceful. Got ruined from this..merfolk. Worst of all, they were naive to realize they had a carnivore few feet behind them! Seven, they're making you ticked off already...

Yet, before you could react, you noticed a rapid splash from besides the merfolk. Pausing for a moment, you tilt your head to the side with curiosity to notice that the merfolk had...a fish. Well, more like an injured fish. It seemed like the merfolk was trying, quote on quote 'trying,' to help as the merfolk looked clueless on what they're doing.

"Oh my...Are you ok now?"

Now clearly hearing the soft, concerned tone of the merfolk's boyish voice, you couldn't help but quietly pinch the bridge of your nose in frustration. Of COURSE it isn't ok if it's injured. Even more annoying? He is helping instead of taking advantage and devouring the food source!..Well, make sense since majority of the merfolk don't have sharp teeth or don't see fish as their food. Instead, they see every fish as their friends. Pathetic-

"Oh! I didn't see you there!"

Shit.

Your slits widening in surprise as they locked into the merfolk, instead of his back facing towards you, now he was directly in front of you with his sparkling, bright blue-doe eyes directed at you. Seemingly..gleeful upon noticing your presence behind him. You gripped on the corals as well as eyes turning sharp, lips pursing in a small snarl when you fully realize how close you were than you meant to be.

In a swift motion, you push yourself away with a flick of your long tail. What surprised you though was the other's reaction-

"Wha- Wait!"

The merfolk's expression suddenly changed from cheerfulness to urgency as he suddenly push himself against the wet sand to leap towards you like he was following you?! What kind of crazy merfolk is he-

"Do you perhaps know how to heal injuries?...My fish friend is injured from a shark attack! But..I don't know how to help them out...."

His voice sounded desperate, hopeful on any useful skill you have to help his 'fish friend.' Almost like he was expecting you to know something?! (Spoilers, he wasn't expecting you to help, he just hoped!) What kind of merfolk is he- Of course you can heal injuries!

That and you knew where this was going. You knew you had to reject and go out your day. Despite that, your prideful ego got in your way as a siren-

"Of course I know how to heal. I am siren."

You answered bluntly, almost like a sharp edge of the knife snapping. Sharp, direct, and prideful. Just like every siren. And just like every reaction you encountered, you expected this merfolk to be at least weirded out or disgusted-

Though, that didn't lower this merfolk at all.

Instead, his doe eyes lit up with a relief grin appearing on his lips,

"Oh thank the seven!!! I heard sirens are good at healing! The best actually!!!"

Before you could react, his hand suddenly snap at your hand and quickly swim around to his old spot while he dragged you along. Your narrowed eyes snap wide open again in shock. How has he not given up? You just said you were a siren! He should be scared! Not-..relieved!

Never mind that, he gently and purposely pushed you to be by the other side of the injured fish, letting your hand go. The injured fish flapped its fin weakly that you couldn't help but frown to yourself. That could've been your next meal...but noooo, you're here now. Being a goody two ol' shoes and helping it out instead of devouring it!

Side glancing the merfolk on the other side of the fish, his big-doe eyes sparkled in eagerness and hopefulness directly at you. Already admiring your...'bravery'? Man, what kind of merfolk is he anyways? Whatever.

Focusing towards the task, you took a deep breath in before gently humming a soft tune. Not just any tune. The soft, quiet lullaby illuminating the siren's call of healing. One of your sharp webbed fingers trailed the water closely to the fish's injuries. Leaving a trail of a soft glow along the gentle touch within the fish's body. The water in contact against the body didn't made the fish trash around, instead the water had it be soothed and calm. Injuries seem to slowly disappear one after the other like a marathon. You were in your own small world that you haven't noticed the small, quiet 'wow...' of admiration from the merfolk. You didn't care about him. Simply focused on the humming with no distractions so far. Honestly? You almost forgotten how relaxing humming it is. Even more when it's one of the many siren call's healings, also known for soothing not only your injuries, but also your mentality. That's how rare you get injured.

Steadily and smoothly, the humming grew shorter to a stop in its end. Moving your webbed finger away, the fish's body in view to reveal its now healed scales. That made the merfolk perk up in a gasp,

"You..You did it!!"

He giggled in solace and happiness, already quick to pull the fish deeper into the ocean for the fish to seemingly swim around you in eagerness. Almost like it was not only thanking the merfolk, but thanking you as well.

"Oh my Seven! THANK YOU SO MUCH, FRIEND"

Friend-?

That's when he suddenly launch onto you with arms wrapped around your body with a huge, wide smile along with closed eyes. It seemed like he savored the hug while you stiffened, not used to this kind of...affection? And also not used of someone being so carefree about the knowledge that he's hugging a siren-

"It's...not a big of a deal."

You awkwardly patted his back with an unsure, hesitant hand but stopped when he suddenly pulled back with a sharp, loud gasp with the fish following in suit. What the-

"Not a big of a deal?! You saved my fish friend's life, Friend!!"

He seemed very sure that you were basically his hero and...a friend. Even when you two JUST met.

"Look, Merfolk. I'm not your friend. I just helped you two out that doesn't mean we know each other. We barely know each other- I don't even know who you are--"

Expectantly, you were cut off by this beaming red-hair merfolk,

"OH. MY. GOSH. I forgot to introduce myself!!! I am so so sorry, Friend-! My name is Rielle!"

The merfolk, Rielle, exclaimed with enthusiasm. Wait- Rielle-?

"The 7th Prince of the Coral Sea!"

Oh.

Your eyebrow shot up with an impressed yet shocked look on your face. Man, your day couldn't get better than this. I mean it, quote on quote 'Better'-

"What's your name?"

Rielle, the prince, smiled softly at you. Too soft. Disgustingly...

Sweet

"....[Your Name]."

You quietly murmured to yourself, but Rielle caught it on like you spoke loud and clear.

"Oh! [Your Name]!!"

He repeated your name in gleefulness as he giggled afterwards, raising a hand to place it on his cheek and leaning against it to gaze at you with almost a loving smile. The way he sounded pronouncing your name was too sweet and almost like he adore saying your name.

"A pleasure to meet you, Friend! Thank you so much for saving my fish friend!!!"

He added gleefulness with cheerfulness as he soon pulled out a trinket from his small chain around his slim-lean waist where his scales start before showing it to you.

Was that a fork-

"Have this trinket as my gratitude and thanks! This a dinglehopper!!"

...A dingle-what now--

You gaped a bit in surprise, not because he's offering you this fork. No no, it's because he's so...childish to realize what it actually is-

Yet you couldn't find this child-like merfolk endearing.

"Uh...Thank you, Rielle.."

Almost like an instinct, your shoulders slowly ease up the tension in your body when you reached one webbed hand towards the..'dinglehopper.' Gently brushing his fingers from grasping the 'dinglehopper,' you held it up close to your face to inspect it. It really was a fork. More like a painted gold fork with how it felt like those silver utensils.

"Of course, Friend!!!"

He responded in such keenness that you were for sure knew that this prince can get along with everyone in a snap. How can this loving, pretty merfolk be so..outgoing. Glancing once more towards the merfolk, you couldn't help but notice how he twirled one of his hair strands with one fingers. His pale-soft cheeks in a tint of rose pink and a bashful smile revealed on his lips with eyes averting from you. What...a fascinating pretty one he was.

You couldn't help but give in into that small thought of helping his hair neat. That will be a good way to pay him back. Right? So, you did. Reaching once again towards Rielle, you instead used your webbed sharp fingers through the strands of hair peeking out. Even when your webbed fingers were sharp, you were gentle. It surprised you for a second, yet didn't stop to help his hair strand be behind his ear. Your hand stay there for a good while before reluctantly pulling away, already missing the softness of that smooth, red hair. You can't believe you actually did that than your previous motivation before you talked to him. It seemed it changed throughout your interaction with him. Oh well, you did it anyways-

That movement alone left the poor boy frozen.

Not of fear, no, but how hard his heart thump against his ribs like it's about to explode. How weird feelings inside his tummy grew more than he thought it should. How his hand that was previously on that hair strand just froze a few inches from it. How his big doe eyes widened with lips pursed in shock.

That, along with face burning red.

"EEEEKKK!!!"

He suddenly squealed loudly, already pulling away in such pace that between the two of you, the space grew larger than before. Even the fish who watched all of it from its spot followed along Rielle as his flustered face was hidden most likely from his hands and long, beautiful hair of his.

"OH MY GOSH! Is this what Neige mentioned when he talked about love at first sight!?"

He thought to himself as he avoided eye contact with you; in which, you let your hand fall to your side slowly. Confused etched your facial expression upon noticing his reaction to your payback. You can see the effect you had on him. Isn't that what he wanted though?

"You're such a weird one, Pretty one."

You simply commented yet made Rielle snapped his head at you with wide, flabbergasted eyes.

"P-Pretty? ME??"

His voice cracked into that squealing voice, his fin flapping against the water for a second until he pressed his hands against his cheeks to try and hide his redness. He was in LOSS of words on what to say that he missed the comment direction.

"I- Uh-!"

Rielle struggled to come up words before he suddenly locked eyes with you with a helpless pout,

"I- I have to go!"

He suddenly said as he suddenly swam passed you in swiftness that you barely missed him. The fish followed along, doing small jump against the water like he was saying goodbye to you. The thing was-

"YOU'RE ALSO SOOOO PRETTYYYY!!! I AM SO GLAD I MEET YOU, [Your Name]!!!!"

Rielle suddenly called out in a loud exclamation before sinking down into the ocean, leaving you in a puzzled state. Even with him abruption leaving, you couldn't help but quietly laugh at that. That was..unexpected. Unexpectedly adorable from him....And also unexpectedly letting your so called, 'prey,' leave from your claws. How did it become to this? You certainly do not know.

What you certainly did know though was the fact the meeting with this prince...left you a mark. Not a bad one, but a pleasant one. You will certainly remember his name and this nice meeting for as long as your breathing. Yet, not because you are stalking prey, but because this merfolk...was the very first merfolk you enjoy your time on that you couldn't help but hope to meet him again.

"What got ya smiling, Princeyyy?"

Rielle tensed at the sudden teasing tone of the familiar cat at lunch, looking over at the sly grinning cat floating next to him with a knowing glance.

"...Nothing....Just..."

Rielle trails off, unsure how to explain this fluttery feeling he's feeling. I mean, how can he? It was his first time feeling this...alive!

"Just thinking of an encounter I had with this...amazing someone-"

He was cut off by the cat's snickering,

"Oya~? Chen'ya thinks Princey is in loveeeeeee~ If! Princey is grinning doopey like that!"

With that comment, Rielle paused. Not in fear or disgust, but in a thoughtful realizaion.

"....So...this is love?"

Rielle quietly murmured, almost fascinated at that thought. Then a slow loving grin appeared in his lips. Leaning his chin against both of his hands with a dreamy look of his plastered on his face,*

"Oh...Love..."

Chen'ya, the teasing cat, grinned mischeviously at the prince's dreamy expression before giggling to himself. Happy he got to be right again.

Yet, Rielle didn't mind that. He daydreamed on the meeting he had with you. Smiling to himself, sighing dreamily, recalling small moments between the two of you...

Oh, how long he wish to see you once more...

Hope ya like it, Rielle lovers!! And the one who requested it!! <3

I'll be honest, we all know he's the composed type that everyone sees almost every day and night. Hell, you won't see him slipping out of that demeanor like he's tripping. Nope, matter fact, no one ever seen him OUT of that composer.

But what if I tell you, yes, YOUUU, managed to do that?

The confession was inside of Scarabia Dorm's kitchen. He was cooking, you were helping. Of course, he looked like he didn't care about your apperance, BUT he was actually internally in joy and peace. Matter fact, he did caught on the fact that you kept fidgeting with some ingredients or small knives (That he had to take it away from your hands to make sure you don't harm yourself in any way). Of course, that quiet joy turned into worry. I mean, he couldn't let it show but with how slow his movements are...it was clear the small nervous gestures of yours worried him to no end. So, without thinking, he asked what's wrong and BAM...you confessed your feelings out of anxious and nervous guts hitting you.

His reaction is immediate. His normally sharpened eyes widen like saucers, lips pursing a bit, a small tense came from the shoulders, and a soft “Aah?” came out of him

He was honestly freaking out. Not in a bad way, more like his heart was thumping against his ribs to the point he thinks you can hear his heart begging his brain to let him out for Jamil to pour his feelings out to you but…it seems he realized he spaced out. When he finally did, he finally let out a simple: “I like you too, Y/N”

But your reaction was shocked and a loud, "WAIT REALLY?"...making Jamil be also shocked along with you

Wasn't he obvious!?!? Every time you came to Scarabia Dorm, he'll always offered you a drink/snack, checking in, always talking more than he normally does, ACTUALLY listening to you...Wasn't that enough?!

Matter fact, NOOO, you don't have the RIGHT to be surprise! HE SHOULD BE THE ONE SURPRISE!!! With all of his hard work on trying to get you to notice him, he always overthought that you just go to Scarabia Dorm to see Kalim! You know? Like friends..or maybe a secret love interest! Which, I won't lie, he almost yank strands of his hair apart and screaming to a pillow when he thought of that-...

Oh boy, don't get me STARTED when you said you couldn't believe he, the one who was crushing ON YOU in total "secret", had a crush on you...THAT MADE HIM SNAPPED.

He grabbed your shoulders and shook you so bad while half-shouting mixed with a screech and squeak in it: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T THINK I LIKED YOU!?! WASN'T MY HINTS ENOUGH!?" And yep, you got a rambling, flabbergasted, no thinking Jamil talking, basically, your ear off

Of course, with all of his rambles, you have to process the important first words...He was giving you hints! How come you haven't notice? Either naive, distracted, or another thing. Who knows, but with how much Jamil was yapping, you shut him up with a kiss and he got SILENCED real quick.

When you pulled away, all you can see is a surprised Jamil with widen eyes and parted lips like he was about to speak but couldn't form any words. Although, he finalllyyy grabbed your shoulders and pulled you in for another kiss

Let's say Jamil did NOT let you got after that. Matter fact, screw Kalim for a second for a kissing session...WAIT, THE FOOD--

I am sorry for the late response!!

I hope this is your liking, anon!!

(Cuz yk, I was writing this while being tired...sooo- I hope you understand or there isn't any errors on this! If there is, pls do tell me!)

We all know he’s the prideful lion of his pack. The housewarden of Savannaclaw, the second unborn prince of Sunse Savannah, the lion of the NRC.

So, imagine him with a sly Fox Hybrid!User, who slowly fell in love with the lion without his knowing?

So, I'll be honest- With you and him being enemies at first? BRO DESPISES YOU like bro will hate you so bad like Malleus treatment like "Tch. Here comes Dora's little furry dog." ....Yes, he calls you a dog. HE CALLS YOU A DOG- (Fun fact! Foxes and Dogs are in the same family called: Canidae!) BUT NO!! YOU'RE A FOX!! And that's how you two have a banter from one to another and again-

However, with how you two are always at it against each other for a lot of months being together at the same school, for some reason, you would've always felt like a small tug towards Leona every time you notice him. How your ears perked up at his voice, how your tail puffed up to only wrap around yourself, the way your face would lit up...No- It's only because you see him as a foe! As a threat!!...It can't be because you were fond of him...right?

Of course, you wouldn't show SUCH weakness in front of this prideful, LAZY lion! So, you show more fangs and puffing up your tail to look more threatening while he, Leona, bared his fangs at you and lets out a low growls back to show dominance that he was the one in charge andddd that lead you two into fighting...yet again!

The thing is..every time when it's out of fights, your heart strangely flutters around Leona. When he's calm...or sleeping- or hell, did he ever even looked so peaceful before when he sleeps? You have never notice but now you do?...Ok, now it was time that you FINALLY...agree to these...feelings...for Leona.

So, since lions and foxes courting are different, it confuse Leona to the end that you...offer to hunt together?? HELLO? IS THIS THE SAME FOX HE DESPISES AND WHO TRIED TO GET IN HIS NERVES EVERY WAY POSSIBLE?? So, ofc, at first, he decided teased you about it but the way your fluffy fox ears went down...ok, FINE...he agreed...

And let's say, you always offer him to hunt with you...and yes, that involved you yapping a lot to him which can make him playfully tease you about it..and you playfully comment back! Which makes this prideful lion not wanna give up, so he playfully comments back! BUT...when he does playfully comment back to your playful words, I can you not, he freezes with wide eyes when your face..BEAMS??

Ok, something is up. That's what Leona thinks because..there's NO way...you, the fox that he always taunted and who always taunt him back with such smarty sassy comebacks, is actually...acting different? He doesn't know what's going on but he will find out about this on his own.

So, he finally agrees to your offers without any teases (which ngl, when he first did that, it was a shock to you..and TO OTHERS-) and lets you lead him through the hunts...to only find out that you finally got comfortable to playfully fight with him, which he doesn't hesitate to playfully fight with you because come on- Lions LOVE playful fights...and it's because he wants to show you that he's STRONGER THAN YOU SO HAH-

Now, some times when he is TOO tired and actually declines you..he will sleep and all, but when he wakes up to only see you holding food you hunted to him? OH BOY..he knows now that you hiding something from him- But...he does accept you food (and will side eye you when he notices your silent victory dance) and eats it

But you know what? This is chill for Leona...so, expect him actually not minding this at all cuz you really aren't annoying him like before and I won't lie to you! He loves the playful comebacks and fights, so...he's chill with this

In other words, expect him to actually find out soon that the whole thing is a courtship from foxes to their potential mate- But I won't say it's something bad cuz he won't find out until like- 4-7 months, including if someone tells him

I apologize for my late response! :((

I will say, I found this very cute!

Because I'll be honest, foxes courting their potential mate is so playful, loving, and bonding with each other like

Watch Leona's face be flabbergasted that this WHOLE entire time he was being courted lol!

Cuz yk, lion courts are more blunt and lazy like- Clinging against each other YET loving too

What a beauty! :3
