it was hard for him to adjust to you when you first met him, actually.

you were fairly accommodating for someone with a legal disability which he was grateful for, but he had doubts that you were any good and defending yourself.

he underestimated you a whole lot and thought that you were a useless addition to the divine visionary group, even when ryoh confirmed that you were not someone to mess with.

so on the fated day that you and orter finally work together, he’s sticking as close as he can to you just in case you trip over something and get hurt.

but funnily enough, you don’t trip over anything. you walk on your own just fine, and it’s almost like you could see or sense your surroundings at least.

and orter, being the overly strict guy he is, questions you about how you’re able to navigate your surroundings so well if you’re blind. he starts asking if you are actually blind until you get rid of your blindfold and show the scars dragged across your eyelids.

it is then obvious to everyone and their deceased grandmother that you cannot see.

then you explain that you can sense your surroundings via magic, though it took you a long time to constantly use magic to do so.

when you and orter finally get to your destination, it is revealed that you are as strong as ryoh had said.

what orter did not expect was a literal black hole swallowing your enemies. your magic was oddly similar to wahlberg’s but he didn’t question it at the time until after the fight, where he made a passing comment about how your magic was similar to the old man’s.

then you laugh at him, call him silly, and say “he’s my granddad!”

in the most nonchalant voice ever

and orter had to pause for a moment because he DOES NOT recall the old man ever getting married, let alone having a wife or any kids, but somehow he kept them all hidden for safety issues.

your identification spell deactivated simply because you were anointed a divine visionary, and everyone knew your real identity by then.

orter, for many reasons, is shell-shocked. he never considered that wahlberg had so much energy to cast a illusion spell on his family members, but he is also shocked that you’ve lived under a different name the whole time until the moment you became… well, you.

after your mission together, orter starts respecting you a lot more, both because of the things you did to get where you were now, and your lineage.

that respect in a matter of months turn into infatuation for a few reasons:

he admires you for how strong you are, mentally and magically.

he feels this internal urge to protect you even though you could probably protect yourself better

he learned that he had a lot to learn from you, especially when it came to interacting with others.

and most of all, he didn't need to see your eyes to know you were a beautiful person.

even with your scars, he thinks you're the most admirable and respectable person on the planet.

this is shown from the moment you start dating him because this man would never walk in front of you unless it's in a dangerous situation.

he prefers to walk side-by-side with you because he considers you his equal out of everyone else.

offers you his arm or hand when you need to go somewhere, just so you're not inconvenienced from your disability.

most of all, he would NEVER allow ANYONE to talk down on you. yes, you're blind, but you're just as deserving of being called a divine visionary as he was. you're disability had nothing to do with your strength, and orter knew that like that back of his hand.

of course, he would never talk you down either; none of your family or friends do it, so it obviously doesn't give him permission to do it.

not only that, but he worries that he will loose wahlberg's approval of him the minute he says something inconsiderate.

one time the two of you were bickering over something dumb and he said "look here you-" and you just stood there like "???"

had to take a moment, breathe, and stutter out an apology because it was just out of pocket. well, not really. he didn't mean to say something like that. he just forgot you were... you know.

blind

controlling his tongue and having patience puts him through the wringer, but he thinks it's worth it because he's learning how he can treat you right

he can't live the rest of his life being an inconsiderate prick anyway, might as well get started on the changes.

was so anxious when you met his family bc they're so judgmental af but then mf WAHLBERG joins the meeting and is like "sup bros and ladies, what's up?"

he really went "dw grandchild, grandpa got this in the bag"

bc let's be honest, wahlberg probably won't let some noblemen talk down his grandchild like that.

i mean he already feels bad for not being able to protect you once, he's not letting you go into wacky ass shit alone again. well, granted, you have orter, but it's going to be hard for orter to clap back to his own dad like that, so he pulled up for emergencies.

and mr. madl sitting here KNOWING if he breathes a word of meanness to you he's going to get it.

not only from wahlberg and you, but from his own son

you handled everything so well, orter couldn't help but think you were just born to be his spouse or something.

you even got to sassing his mom because she was persistent on you taking your blindfold off at the dinner table, which you didn't feel comfortable doing and told her that "my ugliness is not a sight for the weak hearted, ma'am. i'm afraid i do not want to be the reason behind your cardiac arrest."

wahlberg was fighting back tears.

(wirth loves your sass btw)

okay, in all honesty, you didn't know mash was a lackmagic until after the whole fight between the main five and the magia lupus where cell war popped up.

obviously you had your suspicions about him, but you never acted out on them, thinking he was just a traditional guy who preferred using his hands than magic.

you're overall attitude towards him didn't change, in fact, it improved significantly, and you were singing him praises about how great he is standing up to the world's viewpoints as he was. he didn't really understand what you were saying, but he accepted your compliments and gave you creampuffs as thanks.

when you heard he was going into trial, you had a bad feeling that your brother was going to be there.

now, you didn't hate orter or wirth, but they were so egotistical in their own ways that you found it suffocating to be with them, and while you and wirth got along far better than either of you did with orter, he distanced himself after you were sorted into the alder dorm.

a bit petty, in your opinion, but you were willing to wait for the guy to grow a pair and get over it.

you offered mash to escort him to the bureau of magic, hoping it would better people's opinion about him if a sibling of a divine visionary went with him.

lo and behold, you were right that the visionaries were present too.

you weren't in the actual courtroom, you were just sitting outside and enjoying the nice weather when you saw them strolling by.

orter, of course, passed by you without a word, even though everyone else knew who you were. it was safe to say they were surprised to see the ever-so diligent orter ignore his own sister, like he didn't care about you at all.

but right as orter passed by and tried attacking mash, you blocked his attacks with your own by creating a crystalized shield around mash.

since the madl family seems to have personal magic based on ground elements, your personal magic gave you control over gemstones and crystals.

but the last time orter could remember, you were hardly able to create a wall, so seeing you defend someone illegal with your own magic just pissed him off even more

the whole courtroom event turned into a bit of a sibling feud, something wirth got news of rather quickly and was quick to nag you about.

even if you were their sister, it wasn't smart to butt heads in front of people like that, but you knew you wouldn't feel any better if you did nothing and let mash get hit. it would make you feel worse, so you didn't regret a thing you did.

and unlike when orter was your age, you had a pretty strong sense of justice, which made things difficult for orter after he lost his junior, who similarly had a sense of fairness and rightfulness like you do.

however, as much as you fight with your brothers and act like you don't care, it still hurts you a lot to not have their validation. trust me when i say lemon was scared out of her mind when you broke down one day, sobbing for seemingly no reason.

realistically speaking, it's impossible to avoid the way wirth and orter looked at you disapprovingly, even when you simply thought people without magic deserved a chance.

it stings to see finn and rayne get along fairly well, even though finn has the same thoughts that you do, and rayne is also a visionary.

you thought it was unfair that you had these two migraine-worthy men for brothers, but finn got to have a brother who actually cared about him.

and no one could blame you. not even finn antagonized you about it, knowing you were just trying your best. so instead of your brothers being protective over you, your friends stepped up to the role instead.

lance and dot were especially protective of you around wirth, shielding you from his sight and making sure lang students other than abel and abyss didn't bother you.

abel and abyss actually sympathize with you, having grown up with difficulty themselves. while they can't say they know how you feel, they are more than willing to distract wirth so you can go a day without a snide comment from him.

abyss, more-so than abel, because wirth is his dorm mate.

i don't think your brothers are willing to "forgive" you or accept your opinions for a while, even during the whole war against innocent zero.

they don't really worry about your safety, thinking you were fine because you're their sister, of course you're strong as hell.

only to hear that you were in comatose after your fight with epidem.

you took a critical hit for lance right before he activated his thirds and have been unconscious ever since.

and what made things worse is that they didn't know until lance straight up went to orter and apologized for letting you get hurt. lance thought orter already knew what happened to you and wanted to apologize, thinking orter still had some place in his heart for you.

wirth heard about it through your parents, who complained about your treatment being expensive even though they had more than enough money.

yeah, your parents are shitty too, so that doesn't really improve things.

honestly, even the hospital staff were shocked that the desert cane wasn't hovering over their necks and making sure his sister was receiving the best care she could get.

up until that point, your friends were the only ones who came to visit you even though you were unconscious.

hell, even rayne came to visit you with finn, though he mostly came to see how you were doing because a certain coworker of his wasn't doing it. not like he'll tell orter you're doing okay because he would never do finn dirty like he did you.

orter and wirth DESERVED some kind of misery after putting you through the ringer, like they expected a kid like you to bend backwards to meet their ideals.

by the time your brothers come to visit you, your friends are already there by coincidence.

and it's so so SO awkward to see all these students giving them judgmental stares bc they KNOW what your brothers were doing for the past year being nothing but assholes.

even abyss was disappointed in wirth for stooping so low, and he even outright said that you deserved far better than wirth and orter, even if orter was divine visionary.

what's the point in having a divine visionary as your sibling if they can't even look after you right? no wonder you're so sad all the time!

rayne is especially pissed for your sake.

he's talked to you a few times, heard about you through finn, and has judged you a great kid. and here was orter choosing to be an ass because you were buddy buddy with mash.

like bro, get your head out of your ass PLEASE

^ rayne said internally

wondered what kind of absolute tomfoolery orter is on to treat his siblings, his SISTER, no less, so harshly.

if you were rayne's sister, you probably wouldn't even be IN the hospital in the first place, so rayne basically steals the brotherly role from orter and takes his place because he's so done.

congratulations you're now adopted /j

when orter and wirth finally visit you, they're a speechless because you had one foot through death's door.

they thought you broke a bone or two, but no. you had a literal hole in your stomach and limbs, it was a miracle you weren't dead according to the doctors.

it's a bit of a reflection time for them, thinking back to see if they were really that bad of a brother for you.

yes, yes they were.

and internally, they know there's a next to zero chance that you'll forgive them, but you're still unconscious, so you couldn't forgive them even if you wanted to.

or so they thought because you've just accepted their treatment towards you a long time ago. there's nothing for you to forgive, all because you tried to stop caring about it.

in your perspective, they weren't going to change for your sake.

it's a hard job being the oldest sibling for two stubborn ass brothers.

you love them from the depths of your heart, but they both act like they don't know you or want nothing to do with you.

especially after orter became a divine visionary, wirth started holing up in his room when he's home on break from school, and orter hardly comes home anymore because he's working all the time.

the few times you do see them, they're not that interested in spending time with you.

it's not like you have a bunch of free time either, since you'll be the head of house once your father retires, so you're busy working for the man.

hence, creating time for your younger brothers has been a hassle, on top of how unwilling they are when it came to spending time with you.

a part of your heart stings when you see wirth smiling and having the time of his life with his friends, or orter mentoring the troublesome boys from easton.

it reminds you of the time when they were younger and clinging onto your legs when you were going about the house, demanding your attention for a while longer.

given how they were raised, i imagine they see you as a father figure more than their actual dad, hence the emotional attachment in their childhood.

the reality was that orter felt bad a few months into giving you the cold shoulder after his friend and junior died while on the job, even though you were completely understanding that he needed time to grieve and recover, but even after that, he sucks at apologizing so the awkwardness dragged on for years.

wirth was kind of forced to mature and refrain from relying on you as much after his father yelled at him for how disappointing he was, but he doesn't meant to come off as negligent or cold to you.

he just wants to make the family proud of him, even though sometimes he wants to stick at your side like gum on the bottom of your shoe again.

however, imagine the shock on orter's face when you show up to fight famin with (or for) him, even though you're a single-liner.

realistically speaking, he's loads stronger than you, and you're probably the last person who should be on the frontlines battling one of innocent zero's sons.

it's scarier for him when you take most of the hits, using most of the magic energy you had to shield him from anything that might hit him.

as harsh as orter was to you, he never did stop caring for you or wirth. he didn't know how to rebuild your relationship after burning them down on his own, but that didn't mean he didn't want to.

right when you have one foot through death's door, orter takes you aside and activates his third (?) summon, and soon after ending the fight with victory in his hands

with all the hits you've taken, you're probably going straight to the hospital.

there's a good chance you'll wake up to a sobbing wirth, who's scared for your life and wellbeing, while orter's sitting in the corner looking stressed as fuck.

you were in a coma for an entire month, so not a lot of people had hopes that you were going to make it, but your mother didn't raise a bitch because you made it.

it'll take a long time for injuries to completely heal, but it's okay because your brothers are not leaving your side.

wirth's graduated from the academy, orter is still a divine visionary, and you still have work to do as the heir to the head of house, but they're more than willing to help you, even if orter has to take time off work to help.

even when you do come back to full health, you'll assign wirth as your official assistant, since he's kept up with your working pace really well, and if your father won't acknowledge him, you sure as hell will.

orter also apologized to you during one of your late night work sessions, thinking it's better to get it over with sooner than later.

surprise surprise, you've forgiven him a long time ago that you're not sure what the hell he's sorry for. literally looked at him like "did you break mom's vase again or something????" and orter wondered if you were sane.

you are, you just forgot to care about orter acting like a bitch and a half towards you.

nicknames for orter: little bookworm, little bro, baby bro, ortie, and baby 1.

nicknames for wirth: little menance, baby bro 2.0, buggy (his sunglasses gives him bug eyes), and baby 2.
