I know, I know, usually Monster Prom is more about Pokeman, but I still couldn't help but think about what Pokemon Oz would have on his team.

First and foremost, of course, Mimikyu! A Pokemon that hides its true appearance from others so it can blend in with them and pretend to be someone else so it doesn't scare the people around it? Oz can so relate to the little one's feelings!

Since I imagine Oz to be a cat lover, he also really needed to get a cat-like Pokemon on his team. I first thought about choosing a Meowth (Kanto or Alolan version), but then my eyes fell on Espurr and… yes. It seemed to be a much better choice with its eyes that can stare directly into your soul.:D

A/N: Um?? OF COURSE??? That’s legit so cute I was so excited to write this! Hope it’s got enough tooth acing fluff,, :D

I can do a part two of them at the ball, if you’d like! Because I never got to that here. :’)

----------------

The mission was set. The roles were assigned. It was only a day until you dispatched to the location. And you could tell your Captain was oh so thrilled over this.

“I find this whole mission stupid.” He grumbled out during dinner, making you chuckle silently. He looked like a child pouting.

“Well,” You huff, tilting your head. Knowing full well the answer to the question but wanted to get his response all the same. “What’s wrong with you?”

Fives, the mischievous ARC, chuckles from the other side of the blond. “Cappin’ here is just angry because he can’t dance, and is too prideful to ask for help with it.”

Rex glares at Fives, not angrily, but in a more annoyed fashion. “That is not true! I can dance perfectly fine. Thank you.”

“Liar.” Echo points out, across the table from Fives. A smirk on his features. “We’ve had to go on a mission like this before, a good while before (Y/n) became a medic, and Rex here was godawful at any sort of dance. I took turns with Ahsoka, dancing with him, because we were the only ones who could make it look natural and not laugh.”

“Hey!” The man in question whines, his face dusted with pink as he tries to defend himself properly. “I wasn’t that bad, was I?”

Both of his ARC’s give him a skeptical look.

“Okay so I can’t dance, so what?” Rex groans, swishing his hand out in exasperation. “I’m a clone captain! Not a ballerina!”

“We don’t have to do ballet.” Fives snorts. “Just the box step.”

That earned a hard glare from the captain.

“You know, I could help you?” You offer sweetly, eyebrows raised in amusement. Adding with a giggle. “It could be our secret how bad at it you are.”

“I think I’ll pass.” He grunts, standing up and excusing himself from the table. Disappearing somewhere past the doors.

You, Fives and Echo share a shrug.

--

You’d talked with your two friends for a while, as you ate. They stayed as long as they could but soon they had to get up and start their rounds. Waving goodbye at the retreating duo you stand also.

Walking to the trash can while deep in thought you sigh. Emptying your tray and setting the plate and fork in their designated places, you stroll down the halls. Smiling at a few clones. I really think I should go offer to help him again. Maybe he’d accept now that Fives and Echo aren’t around to embarrass him.

With that you were determined! Heading to the captains quarters swiftly. Slowing and stopping at his door that was ajar, you heard soft music and a voice that wasn’t his.

Did he get someone else to teach him?

You ponder, peeking your head in and then giggle.

Rex was playing a holovid whilst he tried to dance around like the woman instructed him. His hands held out awkwardly like he had a partner, face scrunched up in focus with his small pink tongue poking out of his mouth.

He wasn’t doing too badly.

Stuttering on one of the steps, you take that chance and swiftly place yourself behind him. Making him jump.

Kicking the back of one of his feet gently, to guide it, you smile. One of your hands on his hip, and the other set on his lower shoulder. You laugh softly. “Here, let me show you.”

Rex looks at you from over his shoulder, face red and expression flustered. He was obviously embarrassed. “Ah, uh, thank you. It’s harder to learn then I first assumed.” He admits, sounding somewhat defeated.

You just smile and reassure him, leading him slowly from behind for a bit. Laughing when you almost trip him when he stepped backwards.

You move to stand in front of him, taking his hand and placing the other on your hip. Your hand setting on his shoulder. Leading him gently through the steps, he really was focusing and paying attention. It was really really cute.

He was looking down at your feet the whole time, but after he gets the hang of the steps like that, you smile. “Okay, now to do it without looking at your feet.”

Looking at you with a slightly puzzled look, he tilts his head and you two’s movement stops. “What?”

“You can’t dance the entire time while looking at your feet, Rex.” You tease, a grin spreading across your face. “Focus on me while we move together, okay?”

He sighs, keeping his amber eyes focused on your (e/c) orbs. Making both of your faces gain heat, but neither of you say anything. You just keep dancing.

“Hey! I haven’t messed up too much.” Your captain cheers, sounding excited, but then steps on your foot because he pushed the wrong one forward.

That caused the both of you to bust out laughing, you shaking your head. “Spoke too soon, eh?”

“Apparently so.” He chuckled, grinning so widely it made you automatically smile as well. His laughter was deep, it made his whole chest rumble. You loved hearing him laugh like that. It made your chest blossom with warm feelings.

“It’s fine, you’ve gotten so good already!” You say, not being able to wipe the smile from your features.

Rex smiles somewhat sheepishly, “Yeah, thanks to you, (N/n). I really do appreciate you helping me and my stubborn ass. Now I can show off my mad dance skills.” He adds with a chuckle.

“I taught you to boxstep, not breakdance.” You shook your head, snickering. Realizing you’d been dancing for hours though, you hesitantly continue. “I should be heading back to the medbay, though, so I’ll see you later, Rexter.”

The blond man smiles, nodding and letting go of you. “It is getting late. Thanks again. I really do-”

You stand on your tiptoes, laying a soft kiss on the side of his mouth. Turning and walking out with a wave of your hand. “Oh shush! You can thank me by saving me your first dance.”

Ask and ye shall receive! (▰˘v˘▰) This one is short and sweet! please enjoy!

pairing: Caspar x Byleth

words: 500

Byleth and Caspar were fast asleep, arms and legs all wrapped together as a cool breeze entered through the window. Dreaming peacefully as the insects sung in the distance, however, there was one person who couldn’t sleep so soundly. Soft footsteps echoed in the hallways, in a slight rush. Their head on a swivel as they looked behind them, spooked when they heard a sound coming from behind. Tiny feet carry them faster towards the desired room, almost compelled to burst through the door but hesitates for a moment. Nevertheless, after hearing another noise from the dark they enter the room with haste, door closing tight behind them.

“Ellie…?” Caspar’s voice carries through the room. His daughter jumps at the sound of her voice, but as soon as she makes eye contact with her father, her strong persona disappears. 

“Dad…” The poor girl whimpers, large frown on her lips as she makes her way towards her father. Her favourite plush wyvern wrapped tightly in her arms as she scrawls onto the bed. Caspar envelopes his daughter with ease, pulling her towards his chest and tucked in-between Byleth and himself.

“What’s wrong? What’s got you so scared?” Caspar whispers, fingers running through his daughter’s light blue hair. Ellie makes soft noise before she speaks.

“I had nightmare…” Ellie said, holding on tighter to her little wyvern plush. 

“A nightmare? Do you want to talk about it? Y’know Dad will always protect you.” His eyes move from his daughter up towards Byleth when he notices movement from her. Her hand comes up and wraps it around her small torso.

“And Mom as well. We wouldn’t let a bad thing happen to you…” Byleth whispered, voice as clear as day. Caspar hums in agreement. He hears a sniffle before Ellie speaks up again.

“I was alone, I couldn’t find you or mom and, and everything was empty. It was like everyone disappeared. I went to your room to see if you were there, and you were and I went to wake you but you wouldn’t wake up. I got so scared…!” Ellie stammered out her words. A frown appeared on Byleth and Caspar’s lips. Moving closer to hold their child tighter, whispering in her ear that everything was going to fine. They were here and that her nightmare was just that, nothing else.

In an effort to calm the poor girl down, Byleth begins to hum a lullaby she heard in the past. Her hand rubbing slow circles on her back while Caspar runs his finger’s through her hair. It took a little while for her calm down but it was all worth the effort. There were soft snores escaping Ellie, indicating she had fallen asleep. A small smile appeared on Byleth’s lips, going to whisper goodnight to her husband only to realize he had fallen asleep as well.
