synopsis: you fall ill and grim can't keep his big mouth shut. friends visit, but you don't mind. at least they're bringing get-well gifts.

characters: riddle, trey, cater, ace, deuce

tags: sickfic, fluff, hurt/comfort, humor, grim cares but there's a little emotional constipation, nrc shenanigans

wc: 1.8k

a/n: i wrote this over a year ago when i got so miserably sick and instead of going to the doctor, i wrote fanfiction. that's probably why it took me forever to get better. anyway this is a minor rewrite since the original features yuu (instead of you).

there will be 7 parts total!

Getting sick is fine. Very inconvenient but otherwise. Fine. 

Getting sick a week before the hugenormous Alchemy exam? Absolutely and abhorrently unacceptable. Professor Crewel is not known for his leniency and you could only hope that your illness doesn't suck out all the motivation to study.

And if not, you hope the illness is at least brief. Cramming a day before the exam does not sound like fun.

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS

academic weapon x academic disaster

Ah, the classic trope, but how fitting it is. They say you and him complete each other in ways more than one. You fill the empty spaces that he is missing—mischief, disorder, and rule-breaking—while he completes you in yours—discipline, virtue, and responsibility. Riddle would never find what is lacking in his life and would never admit to this wanting until you came and wrecked his world. Still, he welcomes the catastrophe of your whole being if it means being yours at the same.

I was wondering if you could write the victorias secret loving reader w Jamil and Floyd? 👀👀 take care twin

I KNOW VICTORIA'S SECRET!⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

set refers to bra + panties | pt 1, pt 2 pt4

Jamil

Oh boy

Didn’t know what it was at first 

Than you showed him your sets

You thought riddle broke into your room for a second 

The absolute shade of red this man turns

Freezes for a good thirty seconds than pulls his hood over his head so hard it almost rips

Give him some time he wasn’t prepared for this

Definitely takes some time before you can casually lounge next to him in nothing but a set

He’ll get used to it eventually but he can’t stop the pink dusting on his cheek no matter how hard he tries 

He definitely won’t stop you from your addiction 

But he insist’s that he could get better quality fabric from the scalding sands 

Prefers silk pieces over lace

Worries that rougher fabric like lace might hurt your skin

Buys you the Victoria’s Secret lotions incase they do 

May or may not sneak some of his own oils into them

He just has to make sure his love has proper quality on their skin 

Will never admit it but he’s always looking at your hips in the sets

Especially if they have a thong

Something about the look of your hips sends him into a frenzy 

Dont get his name embroidered onto a set

His brain will melt, he’ll be at a loss for words

He’ll be so distracted the rest of the day he pours a whole jar of ghost pepper into the curry and not notice

Rip to everyone who decided to eat that day

Late nights when you lay next to him he thanks the dark for hiding the red on his face

Close your eyes long enough for him to think you’re asleep 

And your hear the words of admiration he’s to flustered to tell you eye to eye

Floyd

oh now this has him excited

He loves seeing a new set under your clothes everyday 

Lives for the surprise 

Will steal your sets and hide them

Just likes pissing you off

Thinks you look cute when frustrated 

No sense of shame

If you get his name embroidered on a set he’ll tell everyone about it

You outta duck tape his mouth shut

Its hard to tell what his preference is in sets

It all really depends on his mood

Wearing sets are honestly a risk around him

He’ll either squeeze you until a seam rips

Or bite you with no regard for wether or not it shows under your uniform 

Will pester Azul about 

The poor guy doesn’t understand what Floyd wants him to do

“I want shrimpy to have more pretty clothessss”

“Well what do you want me to do!?”

Ends up opening getting a chain near campus before the moray bites his head off

At first you couldn’t get him to go shop with you even if you threatened to shoot his mother 

Than suddenly his mood changed and he dragged you there by the ankles

Drags you next to him on his bed and just tells you to sleep

Its a little hard with how intensely he stares at you

You’ll wake up with a huge bite mark on your cheek 

till you get enough!

Inspired by Micheal Jacksons ‘Don’t stop till you get enough’

Ways the TWST boys chase after you till they finally have your heart (Scarabia ver.)

Kalim

So so so so many gifts. He’ll practically give you the whole treasure room of Scarabia (he tried to, Jamil stopped him). He’s the textbook definition of extravagant, he craves your attention more than anything else and he’s willing to pay the price and far more for it. But his truest and final act of affection will not be a gift. He comes to a realization, you have nothing in this world, and yet he loves you, he loves you for everything you make him feel with nothing but your presence. What may his best gift will be his riskiest, he invites you to a lofty private balcony in scarabia for dinner (old habits die hard, their might not be gold but of course there’s at least some food.) For his final act of love he gently takes hold of your hand and simply talks. Spills everything you make him feel and how dearly he holds it all, he’s not a poet but the sheer emotion, love, adoration, and slight bit of desperation sound more beautiful than any sonnet. Those words will weigh more than any pile of gold he may gift. Indulge him in a kiss to seal your acceptance of his confession and you’ll feel how gentle his lips are yet with how much excitement his hands shake.

Jamil

For as silent as he may be his mind does nothing but scream. Screaming thoughts of you to be exact. He hates you. Hates the way you make his face hotter than his dorm, hates the way his lips bleed from how much he bites back smiles thinking of you, hates the way thoughts of you plague his mind and makes him screw up the dinner he prepares, hates the way he slowly slides down his slammed door with thoughts of you leaving him frenzied, hates the way he twirls his hair like some teenage girl when he thinks of you, hates the way he shoves his face into pillows trying to calm down his breathing after contact with you. Jamil hates how much he loves you. Due to the nature of this, his love is revenge. He needs you to feel just like he does, it’s both a threatening and loving thing. His acting truly rivals Vil’s, He leans in to whisper in your ear purposely brushing his lips against the sensitive skin, his hand rests against yours when grabbing papers, he gently grabs your chin and tilts your face up to to be eye to eye with his smirking one when he teases you, he rests his his hand on the low of your back when guiding you his crowds. Yet when you try to return the favor he’s perfectly composed, as if everything simply flys over his head. If only you knew the way he’d fall to the floor and scream into his hands once in the privacy of his room.

ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ Your first date with your boyfriend, Azul . . .

Each step towards the door makes you feel more nervous.

Today serves the day as your first ever date with your new profound partner. And yet, you act like this is the first time you ever get to see the guy. Like some sort of a blind-date.

Arriving at the entrance of the uniquely beautiful restaurant in the city, you immediately exhale softly as to release the anxiety that was fueling your insides ever since leaving your cozy space.

Just as you reach for the door, the restaurant waiter instead opens it for you as they welcome you, you return the gesture by awkwardly smiling.

Afterwards, as the doors slowly close itself behind you, locking away the city’s noise and atmosphere—the waiter leads you to your partner’s reserved seat.

Once again, each steps going near your destination, you cannot help but feel once again anxious.

Unconsciously smoothening the wrinkles of your clothes people wouldn’t bother to notice, clearing your throat for the nth time as if you have a sore throat, and mindlessly fixing you hair; afraid that even a single strand can ruin your date.

Gosh, you look– no, you are hopeless.

You have been busy fixing yourself that you did not properly process the way that you are currently standing in front of your table, your partner whom immediately stands before you—Azul Ashengrotto.

He sends a fond smile at your way, already walking towards you. You blink multiple times and again, clearing your throat before reciprocating his expression.

Gosh, must he look so breath-taking?

Azul gently taps your shoulder and leans into your cheek, which slightly catches you off guard but immediately melt into it. Though not many can notice, he is hesitant towards his own actions.

It was… awkward. Unknowingly what to do next, his lips remain a few centimeters away from kissing your cheek.

This is quite painful to watch.

Instead, deciding to change the pace, Azul leans back as he once again welcomes his significant other.

“Good evening, my pearl. You look quite dazzling in your outfit for tonight.”

You notice the faint blush daring to creep on his cheeks, yet completely remains standing like the charismatic businessman as you remember him by.

You nod in response, greeting Azul back with your chosen response.

You simply wish for the night to be longer. So you can commit the simplicity of savoring the feeling— one you weren’t able to experience properly— the natural feeling of what people call love…

The universe surely wouldn’t mind seeing the lovesick version of yourself being a little selfish, right?

—-

Basked beneath the golden lights of the restaurant’s chandelier, the clanking sound of utensils hit the plate, the comfortable silence mixed with the faint jazz music playing in the background suddenly gets disturbed by you—in a good way, that is.

Your eyes meet the handsome face before you, Azul took a bite out of his food until he notices your gentle gaze.

He then smiles, just as a word comes out of his mouth,

“I feel so nervous when I am around you, Azul..”

You confess.

Afterwards, you gaze away.

The heat in your cheeks start to form.

Sweat drops from your forehead even when surrounded by air-conditioner.

You absolutely refuse to look at your partner after that confession of yours.

But as time goes, and little to no reaction came from his end. You figure you ruined the peaceful moment you two had.

Your eyes hesitate to dart its way back to your handsome partner—

Yet, neither of you expected that Azul would resemble an erupting volcano.

You blink multiple times, believing it would be some sort of imagination, expression switching from embarrassment to pure shock. With a faintest sight of amusement.

Azul’s eyes stay wide. Almost threatening his eyeballs to pop off. Varying from his ears to his cheeks placed a blanket of pure redness of a blush. Azul’s lips twitch every now and then, and so does his white eyebrows.

You attempt to call out his name.

No response.

Another one.

Same expression, little reply.

You basically… broke your own boyfriend.

But with such simple words?

All you ever did was to confess how you still feel nervous around the man.

….

Could it be?

Does he feel the exact same way?

After monologuing your own thoughts, you find your hand mindlessly reaching out to his—which sits perfectly on the table.

You wrap your hand around his, he of course, lets you.

You squeeze him gently, a reassuring yet relief smile paints your face.

That simple action wakes him up.

You then grin, soft whispers only he and him only will be able to hear amidst the jazz music and chatters of the customers surrounding you.

“You feel the same way too? My love?”

Azul stares.

Were you the one who hung the stars?

He chuckles—which is music to your ears.

He smiles, you wish to paint his exact expression right here and now.

He opens his mouth, reciprocating your soft whispers.

“Yes, my pearl.”

Azul mutters. Currently leaning down to meet your knuckles on his lips.

“I feel that for you and you only.”

It is now your turn to be flustered.

⭑ WORD COUNT: around 1.k each

⭑ DIVIDERS: by @/pixopix

♱ ACE TRAPPOLA

→ He would be probably the one to propose having a horror movie marathon, acting smug while claiming that he won’t be scared at all. But when you actually start watching, no matter if you are scared or not, he will end up being the one who’s more scared.

→ He will talk during the movies, trying to crack a joke about it or commenting or how stupid it is, to somehow calm himself down, which after a while gets really irritating. His yelps and screams will end up frightening you more than the actual horror and jumpscares.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

“Why is she going back there alone!? It’s like she’s literally asking to get killed!” commented Ace, frustrated at the movie character’s actions.

“If she hadn’t gone there then there wouldn’t be an opportunity for a jumpscare to occur” you answered him without taking eyes off of the screen.

He only rolled his eyes at that, mad that the character is doing everything to make him more stressed and scared.

“I guess so… but don’t you think it would have been more scary if they tried to give the characters more realistic approach to the situa- AAAH!!!” his talking was interrupted by his scream that was accompanied by yours.

And all the character on screen was is open the door to see an ugly doll.

“ACE CAN YOU NOT!?” you punched him in the forearm.

“I LITERALLY CAN’T CONTROL IT??” he yelled back at you.

And for that he got another punch.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ If you are also scared he will be teasing and making fun of you for this, acting like he wasn’t the one screaming in a pitch high voice when something even relatively a little scary had happened in the movie. Hypocrisy at its finest. And he will (not) smoothly propose to turn the movie off so your fear won’t get worse.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

You felt Ace squeeze your shoulder in a comforting manner after you jumped at some jumpscare that just occurred.

He stopped the movie and turned more to you.

“Don’t need to be so scared, come on, it’s not even that scary.” he said with his stupid grin.

You looked at him with a deadpan expression, not even having energy to argue with him how he was using you as a shield few minutes ago.

“Hey, if you are so frightened because of this movie, what do you say we turn it off and maybe watch some comedy or even a romance” he ended his sentence with a wiggle of his eyebrows, emphasising the romance part.

Meanwhile had closed the distance between your faces, that’s why you had put your hand on his face to push him away.

“I have enough of comedy in my life since I met you, so hard pass.” His complains about you ignoring the romance watching propositions were ignored.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ When you two settle in bed to go to sleep, and you are still shaken up from the horror, he will be cracking lots of joke, some actually funny, majority of them not. But nevertheless his poor attempts at comedy does work on making you feel less scared, cause his jokes are so unfunny that they succeed at making you laugh.

→ After you fall asleep, he will be the one to be holding onto you tightly, finally dropping his ‘brave’ facade. He’s looking all around you, thinking that everything that he sees is some kind of monster that is coming to get him (and you). He swears that he saw something move in the shadow (it was just a sleeve of his jacket hanging on a chair).

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

Ace looked around frantically.

Earlier when you asked if he was afraid and wants to keep some kind of lights on, he had let his pride took over him and refused, claiming he isn’t a little kid.

And now he was regretting that very much.

When he looked at you, to whom he was tightly holding onto. You were sleeping peacefully, having fallen asleep really quickly.

As he was looking around the room everything looked like some kind of ghost or like it was haunted.

He flinched as he heard the wind pick up behind the window, and tightened his arms around you, but not enough to hurt or wake you up.

His gaze went to the clock that was on his nightstand. It was middle of the night, far from the sun rising.

He sighed, knowing that this will be a really long night for him.

Maybe your snoring will lull him into sleep sooner or later.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ If you want to get revenge on him for laughing at you when you were scared, while he clearly was too, you can hide behind a wall and jump out to scare him. If he doesn’t want to be honest about also being afraid of horrors, then you will have to force the truth out of him.

♱ FLOYD LEECH

→ You probably think that because of the way he is and acts he wouldn’t be scared at all and find horrors amusing, which that is very far from true. Under the sea there is no such thing as movies (at least i think there isn’t? how would that even work) and that’s why he really likes watching them and getting to know about cinematography in general.

→ When you watch horrors he screams at everything. It could be the most non-scary thing ever, like just a normal character appearing on a screen and it’s not even a jumpscare, and he will get spooked by it. You would have tease him for it if not for the fact that his screams frighten you more than the movie itself. Also it’s hard to tell if he is genuinely that scared, or if he does that to rile you up.

→ When he really gets into watching and start being very focused on the movie and it’s questionable plot, he will start chewing on the food you prepared very loudly, which sometimes accidentally scares you. Especially when the movie is playing a scene with no background music and you hear a loud eating sound next to you.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

You were focused on the screen, because right now an important scene for the plot was playing.

In front of you was a bowl with popcorn, that you once per sometimes reached into, your whole attention on the movie.

You have only felt Floyd’s hand taking a bunch of it to stuff his mouth with.

It was so suspiciously silent, the only eerie noises being the ones from the horror, accompanied by the character’s breathing.

When suddenly “CHOMP” was heard next to you, which caused you to jump and turn your head into that direction.

You caught eye-contact with Floyd who was intensely looking into your eyes, while having his mouth full of popcorn.

You squinted your eyes as he was slowly and loudly chewing on it. At first you wanted to say something but decide against it.

So you just sighed and got back into watching.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ As you two watch these movies, sooner or later, you would be lying down on your stomach and supporting yourself on your elbows as he would be on your back. You are already accustomed to his weight being on you due to his clingy nature so that position doesn’t bother you. And he uses your head as a wall of some sorts to hide himself when actual jumpscares occur.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

As you were watching the movie you felt Floyd suddenly move from his place next to you.

But you shrugged that off, thinking that he just wanted to reposition himself or go to bathroom or something like that.

Then you were pinned into the mattress, face down on it, from the huge weight that suddenly appeared on top of you.

While struggling you rose your head to look at the screen.

“Floyd what are you doing?” you asked as you felt his head being directly behind yours.

“I’m hiding from the monster” he replied with hearable fear in his voice, while peeking a little from the top of your head.

You were too tired to question his doings.

“Don’t worry I will protect you.” you said to somehow comfort him and make him feel safe.

Or that he will at least be less annoying about it.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ Despite being scared he will want to watch more horror movies, cause he likes the unpredictable nature of this genre. One would think that he gets bored after a while, because of the recurring motives in horrors, but to your surprise he hadn’t and even proposed to make marathons like this more often.

→ When you two were done witch watching movies and you were preparing for going to sleep, Floyd insisted on hiding in your shirt. His reasoning was that he was so scared, and the blanket isn’t enough to hide him from upcoming monsters. When you finally fell asleep, you will feel him unconsciously nibbling on your skin with his sharp teeth. Maybe that’s some kind of self defence of his.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

“Floyd! You will stretch my shirt and it will be too oversized!” you half-yelled at the eel that sneaked into your shirt.

“But here nothing will find me. Monsters will think that you just have some kind of bump” he giggled into your skin which tickled you a little.

You sighed at that and decided to let him have his way this time. After all he will surely buy you a new shirt and you can give him this one if it will get too wide.

Few minutes passed and you were close to falling asleep. That when you were jolted awake feeling something weird on your skin.

You peaked inside your shirt and saw Floyd nibbling on you with his sharp teeth.

You were about to reprimand him but then you saw him still sleeping. You figured it’s just some kind of self-defence of his. Mermen’s things you suppose.

That’s why you just decided to go back to trying to fall asleep.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

♱ JAMIL VIPER

→ Wasn’t actually convinced about watching any horror movies, not because he didn’t want to show you that he’s scared (which you have seen plenty of when there’s a bug nearby), but because he knew that you would be, and he will have to be the one to deal with it.

→ He won’t make fun of you when you show your scared by jumping or yelping. He doesn’t want you to feel ashamed about being afraid and to know that you can feel comfortable around him. He will even pause the movie if he senses that it’s becoming too much for you (jamil 💍🧎).

→ He will definitely grossed out by more drastic and graphic scenes, where the movie shows a killed body or something like that. Horrors involving any kind of bugs or insects are a huge no for him, they make him genuinely uncomfortable (so horrors like Mimic are definitely out of choice but i think he will really like the plot of Pearl from 2022, despite it being kind of graphic from what i remember).

→ When you two will be watching the movie, he will let his hair down and let you use it as a hideout of sorts. He will find it cute how you hide your face in his hair, but still leave a little spot for you to peak out to look what is happening in the movie.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

You were sitting in front of Jamil, nicely tucked between his legs with his head on your head, and your hands intertwined together.

You jumped from getting spooked as another jumpscare occurred, your hold on Jamil’s hand tightening, to reassure yourself that you’re safe.

“You okay?” he ask in a comforting voice, worried that the horror is too much for you.

“I’m fine, really.” you answered while actively trying to get even closer to him, if that’s even possible. If you will keep it up you two will become one entity.

He knew that you aren’t but decided to not say anything.

But as you were watching the movie further, and when Jamil sensed that something is about to happen, he let his hair free from his ponytail.

And it was a perfect timing, as quickly as his hair fell on your face you heard a jumpscare sound from the screen.

You parted his locks with your fingers to try to get a look at him, and when you saw his slightly embarrassed face you smiles and continued watching without commenting on his gesture.

You only squeezed his hand that you were holding to let him know that you’re grateful for it.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ When you two turned the movie off due to you getting too scared, and if you are still shaken up after that, he will go prepare a warm tea for you. He won’t mind the fact that you cling to him through all the way to the kitchen and the process of him making it. He is accustomed to doing something while someone pesters or clings to him due to Kalim’s talkative nature and Najma’s hobby of irritating him, but if it’s you he would dare to say that he kind of likes it.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

Jamil was roaming through the kitchen, looking for things he needs with absolute knowledge of where there are.

He would have been moving with great precision and swiftness, if not for the weight clinging to his back.

As he was waiting that the water boils, his hands went to the ones you were holding his waist with to interview them, as he felt you slightly shiver.

“I’m with you.” is all that he said, and that’s all that he needed to say as he felt you nod your head into his back.

“Sorry…” you mumbled under your breath, feeling slightly guilty that he had to take care of you, instead of resting.

At that he turned around to hug you properly, giving you a warm smile.

“Don’t worry about it.” he placed his hands on your face. Then suddenly squeezed your cheeks gently.

“I would rather do this than be bothered with doing anything involving Kalim.” you giggled together at that.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ He will stroke your head and talk about how his day was to help you fall asleep. His complaints about Kalim are really helpful in lighting up your mood and calming you down. He will also softly reprimand you about not choosing to watch scary movies if you are that scared of them, especially in the evening or at night. He will hold you extra tightly in your sleep to ensure that you feel safe and secure.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

“We are not watching anything even a little remotely scary that late again.” Jamil said to you with a soft but firm voice.

You mumbled something incoherent that he didn’t even bother to try to understand.

He looked down at you, lying next to him as he was holding himself up on his elbow.

The expression on your face was really serene and content. He chuckled at that and started to talk about how many responsibilities he had today and how everyone annoyed him.

But you were far gone in the dreamland, his hand that was stroking your head were doing wonders to help you fall asleep.

He stopped talking when he heard that you started snoring softly.

He smiled at that and pulled you more closer to him, covering you both with blanket.

The last thing that you could recall that he had done was leaving a kiss on your forehead.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

♱ IDIA SHROUD

→ Is the one who actually is not scared or grossed out at all by horrors. But that’s only because he is so chronically online that he already had watched all of the most popular, and more niche horrors. Which can also be a plus in a way, he can choose a perfect horror to fit your tastes and level of fear you have because of his knowledge about them. He can also tell you when something is going to happen in a horror if you want him to.

→ The only times that he will actually jump from being frightened is when you grab onto him when you get scared and/or get too close to him to feel more safe. One could say that the closeness and intimacy between you two scares him more than any horror that would ever exist.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

Idia was so focused on the horror that you had choose, that he had almost forgotten that you are watching it with him.

He was trying to catch some things that can give him more arguments to prove his theory right. He was still feeling insulted since earlier someone on the internet commented that what he is saying doesn’t make any sense.

He knew exactly in which scene what will jump out to scare you, so he wasn’t phased by it at all.

But he had also forgotten that you don’t know that.

That’s why when you yelped and suddenly caught his arm he shrieked in horror.

You thought that he like you got spooked by the jumpscare that just occurred so you just shrugged it off as you felt him tremble in your hold.

But his trembling was caused by the closeness of you. You were hugging his arm and he felt your breath on his neck.

Then he noticed that the most important scene to his theory just passed and that he missed it.

With pink ends of his hair he cursed internally no one in particular.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

→ Will make fun of you for being scared. He’s so smug about it, acting like he doesn’t jump at almost every jumpscare that occurs when he plays any horror game and later complains about being afraid. But he will shut up if you bring it up or the fact that you are at least not scared of human interactions (maybe at least not as much as him) (i am though, he’s one of my highest kinnies 😛) (i think i shouldn’t be so proud of that)

→ The horror he chooses are the one that aren’t based on stereotypes too much (like Scream or something like that). He prefers horrors that are scary because of their lore more than because of jumpscares (like The Wicker Man from what i remember, i had watched it quite some time ago so i’m not so sure). He especially likes to make theories and then argue with people about their accuracy. If he ever hears you say that you find some killer or monster attractive he will be actually frightened, but of you not the movie.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

“It may be crazy what I’m about to say but… hear me out on this one.” you said when the masked killer finally arrived on the screen.

Then you heard Idia starting to choke on air. You looked at him unimpressed.

“And what has gotten into you?” you asked sarcastically with a raised eyebrow.

“This is probably the most atrocious take that I have ever heard” that was definitely not true, he is so chronically online that he for sure has hears people say more unhinged things.

“And what is so weird about me finding a fictional character attractive? You found those animated girls cute. At least I am attracted to real people.” you said rolling your eyes.

“That’s different! And for your knowledge I am attracted to real people.” he frowned, taking your remark personal.

“Yea? Like who?” you looked a him with a blank look, not believing him at all.

“I am with you aren’t I?!” he half-yelled, then instantly turned red, realising what he had just said.

But he felt a little smug, as he saw you also blushing.

→ While watching both of you would be hidden under the blanket, lying next to each other.He has a large collection of junk and sweet food in his room, so you have a lot of things to choose from, but if you would something else then he will send Ortho to fetch it for you.

→ If you finally take him away from the screen to lay down with you, because you are too afraid to fall asleep alone, he will comply although not enthusiastically and a little embarrassed. He doesn’t need to know the fact that you use him and his hair as some kind of night lamp, not wanting to use Ortho like that.

“Can’t you ask Ortho to sleep in my room for this night instead?” asked Idia as he looked down to see you comfortably snuggled into his chest.

“I don’t want to trouble him with something to trivial.” you mumbled into his shirt.

He frowned at that “But you weren’t opposed to troubling me with that.” he glared a little at you, but he wasn’t really mad. He just hoped to catch up on some games.

But you had other plans.

“Is it really too much for you to fulfil boyfriend activities?” you looked up to him.

It was cute how red he turned at the mere mentioned of being your boyfriend.

“I don’t remember agreeing to being your night lamp when we started dating!”

“It was written in a in small print. Now shut up and let me sleep” you said before returning to snuggling into him, content with your position.

“BUT I HADN’T SIGNED ANYTHING?”

𐙚 ACE TRAPPOLA

Since you had woken up and looked at the today’s date, you couldn’t contain your excitement. Christmas is in getting closer, being only few days away. You were so happy to be able to celebrate it with your new friends that you made while being here, in this strange and magical world.

You immediately had to talk to someone about it. And the victim to fall to your ramblings was Grim, who was the closest one to you. You turned to his sleeping form and started gently shacking him awake. He only grumbled something unintelligent at that. Your fail didn’t discourage you, you lived with Grim long enough to know how to handle him and him being reluctant to wake up. You sighed and got closer to him.

“Grim… Ace is eating your food…” you whispered into his ears.

He bolted awake right away, like he would if a lightning bolt had stroked him. He was about to start a fight with a non-existing Ace, but his determination died out as soon as he saw your grinning face. He then made a cutely angry face, that made you want to pinch his cheeks. “Why do I have to wake up so early?! It’s weekend so we don’t have school!” he yawned. “And if Crowley requested something from you, tell him that I’m feeling sick.” He laid down again and was about to go back to the dreamland, but you weren’t going to let him do that.

“Grim, it’s almost Christmas! How can you not be excited?” at that he perked up. “It’s almost what?” he asked. You then realized that from where Grim is Christmas may not be celebrated. You smiled at him and started to explain the whole thing in great details. But the only ones that actually got his attention were you mentioning food and presents.

His round, blue eyes shined brightly. He jumped on his two little back paws to stand up. “Nyaahaha! You could have say so earlier! I can’t wait to get lots of presents from that Santa man!” he clapped happily. “But you know… Santa Claus only give presents to the people who were good and didn’t cause trouble.” You smirked at the troubled look appearing on his face.

“W-well, Santa will definitely understand that the damage that the great Grim had caused was necessary for his powers to grown stronger so that he can become the best wizard in the world and do many good.” He puffed his chest, proud of his explanation.

“I’m sure he knows your great aspirations.” You chuckled, and picked up your phone to check the time. You texted the Adeuce duo to meet you in some place, knowing that both are probably still asleep. „Well, we better get ready, cause we are going to meet up with Ace and Deuce.” You got out of the bed and noticed the grumpy way Grim looked like again. “But first let’s eat some breakfast, shall we?” you added. The direbeast immediately jumped out of the bed and ran downstairs to the kitchen. At which you only shocked your head and happily followed him.

The sight before you was not an uncommon one. Your two Heartslabyul friends had problems with waking up early on weekend even when it was warm outside. And now that the weather turned cold, the warmth of their beds kept them bounded to the mattress. They were standing before you all tired and still half asleep. They still came relatively early, earlier than you anticipated. You figured that their roommates probably got fed up with their phones buzzling from you spamming them wake up texts.

Ace was the first to speak up. “What was so important that you had to wake us up on an hour like that? ON THE WEEKEND?” he made an grumpy face, at which you only chuckled. His companion only sighed, Deuce at least tried to appear not annoyed but it was clear that he wasn’t amused by this situation either.

“I needed to talk to you guys about something urgent!” you said excitedly. “I wanted to know more about how you celebrate Christmas, and if it’s the same date here.”

Both boys looked at you confused. “What is Christmas?” asked Deuce. You predicted that they would be confused, cause in this world it’s probably called something else. That’s how you were excusing the lack of results on the internet, when you were searching for it earlier.

“You know, decorated trees, family eating dinner together, getting presents and all other things” a slight concern appeared on your face when you saw how both Ace and Deuce didn’t seem to know what you are talking about.

After a short moment of thinking Deuce replied. “I don’t think that we have anything like that here, at least in the Queendom of Roses.” At which Ace only nodded. “I don’t think that there is a holiday like that at all, cause if there was we would at least hear about it, right?” he added.

While they were discussing this whole Christmas thing that you told them about, and trying to connect it to any existing holiday that they know, they didn’t notice the saddened and surprised look on your face.

You couldn’t believe it. There wasn’t any Christmas similar holidays. You were so excited to be able to spend it with your friends this year, and now it turned out that it doesn’t exist in this world.

Of course, you were grateful for every moment that you were able to spend with people you call friends here. But for you spending time with them specifically celebrating Christmas was different. You couldn’t explain it. It just felt different for you. More meaningful, more heartwarming.

And now there won’t be any of it.

But you shocked your head, not wanting to worry them about something so trivial like this. So you smiled and interrupted their discussion, saying that you all should go to Sam’s shop for some shopping. At which they happily agreed. Especially Grim, hoping to get some food for himself.

What you didn’t not is that one of your friends noticed how let down you were, but decided to not say anything yet.

On the way to the store, Ace asked you to tell them more about that Christmas thing from your world, and Deuce eagerly agreed. At first you tried to shake them off, not being sure if you won’t start crying from the longing. But after some persuading from them and Grim (who was mainly interested in the gift and good aspects) you agreed and started telling them about everything you rememberd about Christmas.

In the middle of your rambling, when you were talking about ornaments Deuce interrupted you, saying that he once saw decorations similar to the ones you were describing. After hearing that you got very excited and momentarily decided that you want to decorate Ramshackle dorm.

That’s why when you entered Sam’s shop you told Deuce right away to show you where he had seen these ornaments. Slightly startled by your enthusiasm, but still happy to help, he leaded you to a big box with many colorful things.

You dig in immediately in search for things that could work out as Christmas-y. And to your surprise you weren’t disappointed.

There were many sprigs similar to your world’s mistletoes, some weird shaped glass figures that could pass as Christmas balls if you added a string to them, and lots of other things like that.

Both Ace and Deuce smiled at the sight of your happiness, one more than the other.

You asked Deuce if he could help you get this box into Ramshackle, at which he happily agreed to, and Ace started protesting how he is also able to carry a box this heavy.

But when he actually tried to, he failed greatly, much to your and Deuce’s predictions and Grim’s amusement.

You only sighed and went to pay for this box to Sam, ignoring the red-heads yells at you that he is super strong and that it's the box's fault.

When you had finally got to your dorm, you immediately assigned a place to decorate for each boy, ignoring Ace and Grim’s complains.

You explained to them your vision, and after making sure that they have somehow understood it, you all have split up. Deuce went to decorate kitchen, Ace your room, Grim the hallway and you were decorating the main room.

It has been not long since you started, but your troublemakers had already came back from their assigned positions, claiming that they are already done. Knowing them they did it carelessly and clumsily just to be free from work, but your mood was so good that instead of reprimanding them you just told them to help you, cause now they will have to put some effort in.

Thinking about how you will have to redo or correct their decoration ways, made your thought go to your previous Christmas. Your mother always assigned everyone to do something, but when they did it, she had a problem that they hadn’t done it the way she would.

Back then it was really confusing, but now you guessed that you could understand her point.

But thinking about your family made you a little sad. You didn’t want to admit it before yourself, but you thought about how they are doing a lot.

Is everything okay back at home? Are they healthy? Do they worry about you? Do they cry about you missing? Or do they even still remember you, that was also a thought that has been appearing quite often in recent times. It was all because of some movie that Ace and Deuce watched with you, where the main character’s parents had forgotten about them.

It was a really depressing though. In the past you would laugh at it and how absurd it is for them both to have that sudden amnesia.

But now? In the world that shouldn’t even exist? Full of magic and weirdness? You weren’t so sure. If it was possible for you to be transported into another world, then it could be possible for people in your world to not remember you anymore.

You were too scared to ask anyone if there was a memory earing spell or anything related to that at all.

Your internal turmoil was interrupted by the sound of other boys arguing with each other. You looked down at them from your place on the top of the staircase. They were yelling so loud and yet so quick that you couldn’t even fathom what was the reason of their argument. If you had to guess it was probably something stupid.

But before you could even open your mouth to tell them to cut it off, Grim aimed at Ace and breathed fire into his direction. Ace fortunately avoided it, but unfortunately the oirnament that you had carefully put on got set on fire.

It must have been something really flammable cause from one little flame the fire spread through the whole decoration, as it was a chain connected to the others in other rooms.

So before you could even do anything to stop it, it was already too late. Good thing that Deuce had used his magic to create water that helped to get rid of the fire so it wouldn’t burn down the whole house.

After that stunt has ended they all had sighed in relief. Deuce then reprimanded them, and they sheepishly apologized to him. Then they all turned to you to cheer you up somehow.

But they all have been stopped by the sight of your head looking at the burnt decorations with blank face.

“H-hey… Prefe-“ started Ace, who didn’t even get a chance to finish.

“Get out.” You said firmly.

“W-what?” he asked confused, thinking that he heard something wrong.

“I SAID GET OUT OF HERE!” You yelled at them with angry tears streaming down your face.

They all jumped at the sound of you rising your voice, and stood in their places from shock, not believing what they have just heard.

“DON’T YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID?! GET OUT OF MY HOME RIGHT NOW!” and only then Ace and Deuce started to back away, slightly scared.

Grim only gulped and started to climb the stairs to get closer to you.

“YOU TOO, YOU STUPID FURRBALL!” you screamed at the top of your loungs at Grim. He jumped in surprise, his urge to argue that it was also his house disappearing immediately after seeing your angry, tear stained face. So he just lowered his head in shame and joined your Heartslabyul friends.

Ace was the only one who looked back as he was closing the door, the last thing he saw was you wiping your face off with the end of your sleeve, your cries still echoing both in your house and his head.

And of course, as always, there had to be a quarrel during every Christmas.

After some time, the door to Ramshackle was finally opened by none other than Ace, who was greeted by darkness. The only source of light was the one coming from the opening of the door he was just about to close.

“Yikes, we really did pull up quite a troublesome stunt.” He said to no one. There were bunt marks almost everyone, decorations were scattered all around, most of them being only scraps from what they were before.

He sighed. You were so happy about all this Christmas stuff, and he ruined it all along with Grim.

But now it was too late to do anything about it, so torturing yourself about it was pointless. With that though in mind he headed to your room.

And when he arrived before it, he hesitated for a moment, slightly dreadful that your anger hasn’t passed away. He knew that he has to apologize, so he grabbed the handle and slowly opened the room.

He wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but it definitely wasn’t the sight that welcomed him. Your room was pitch black, the curtains were closed to make sure that not even a slice of light will get inside. He had to squint his eyes to be able to even see outlines of things that were around him.

But the only thing that caught his attention was the outline of a big pile sitting on the bed. He quietly chuckled at that.

He came closer, sitting next to your bundle of blankets you had yourself covered with. He knew that you acknowledged his presence, as he could see a little spot in this blanket mess that moved slightly into his direction.

It was clear that you were waiting for him to say something, probably his reason for coming there. Although he really didn’t want to face this confrontation, he knew it’s unavoidable.

“Hey” he bumped his shoulder into you softly. You ignored him, not like it really surprised him. But that didn’t deter him.

“Sooo… what is up with that blanketed armor of yours?” he thought that he will start this whole thing with lightening up the mood. His attempt was met by another long moment of silence.

“Listen I came to say sorry for all this stuff that happened today… It wasn’t intentional, I swear!” he laid his hand on what he supposed was your shoulder. “To be honest, the one that should be here apologizing to you is Grim, since he started all of this. I mean yeah, I did kind of start the argument, but he was the one to let his emotions get the best of him and had set everything on fire! Stupid furball… Am I right?” he laughed awkwardly.

He was about to continue his ramblings, but then he heard soft noises coming from your covered self.

He came even closer and gently lifted on of the blanket that had been keeping your face from him.

And there you were, sniffing, trying to hide your cries. You locked your eyes with his for a second, but that was enough to see how red they were, presumably from your previous crying sessions.

Now seeing this sight made him realize how long has he been waiting to come back and say anything. You were here, snuggled under all this weight, crying over what happened for this whole time. Alone. In the darkness.

Suddenly he heard you mumble something. “What?”

You came out of your blanket bundle and looked him into eyes. The sight of your tear-stained face was finally making him feel rightfully guilty.

“I-I’m s-sorry…” you said through sniffles. That made Ace’s eyes widen, you hadn’t done anything that you should apologize for. Even a jerk like him knew that.

“For what…?” he asked quietly, not wanting to scare you away.

“For letting my emotions take over me, and scream at you unreasonably. This wasn’t something that important to get mad over and yet I had hurt you and told you to go away, I hope you can forgive me…”

He looked at you like you were crazy. You? Hurting them? Unreasonable crash out? This was the stupidest thing he ever heard coming from you.

“No!” he instantly replied, maybe a bit too suddenly, cause that made you flinch a little. He gently grabbed your shoulders and got closer to your face. “You getting mad at us was totally valid! I mean, we ruined not only something that you had spent your money on, but also something that meant a lot for you. I mean I still don’t understand why it was so important, but it doesn’t take any of it’s value from you.” He sighed.

“So I want to give you apologize both from me and Grim. But… mostly me.” Your sniffles lessened up to his relief. “And hey, if it will make you feel better, you can punch me for it.” You chuckled at that. “I will keep it in mind for the next time you do something stupid.” He smiled. “Then we probably won’t have to wait too long for that.”

Ace tensed when he felt you laying your head on his shoulder. “Maybe… you want to talk about why it was so important?” he asked. You looked up slightly at him, as much as you could from your place.

“Well, it is kind of long story…” you backed away a little from him. But then he took your hand in his and squeezed it.

“Well good thing that I have lots of time.” he smiled at you which you reciprocated. He was sure that Riddle would understand why he would come late to the dorm today.

After your long ramble about not only about Christmas itself, as you already told him and Deuce about it, but more about your family and regret related to not being able to spend this holiday with them this year.

Ace only left after you had finally fallen asleep from exhaustion. He made sure you were comfortable on your bed before leaving.

But as he closing the door to Ramshackle, looking around the lounge one last time, he already knew what he will be doing next.

With that, he finally left, going to his dorm with determination written all over his face.

The next day you were forcefully wakened up by the sound of ghost wailing. You violently sat up, disoriented about everything that was happening around you.

Before you could ask them what it was about they started talking about how you need to leave Ramshackle due to some weird ghost tradition that takes place in this time of the year. When you wanted to argue or question anything they showed you that they have already packed up the things you will need, like clothes, toothbrush etc.

They didn’t even let you change into clothes that are more appropriate than your pajamas, already ushering you to leave Ramshackle, saying something about many preparations to make.

You didn’t even have time to ask them where are you supposed to go to live now cause they had shut the door before your nose.

To your great surprise – Deuce and Ace, along with Grim, who had been staying with them after the decorations situation, were here, right in front of your house, like they were waiting for you.

When you asked them about it, they laughed weirdly at you and the fact that you don’t know about the tradition the ghost told you about. Even Grim apparently knew about it! You looked at them weirdly and said that it’s the first time you heard something like that.

At that Ace threw an arm around your shoulders and pulled you closer to him, saying that you should know about it despite not being from there because of its popularity.

He didn’t even give you a chance to reply, as he was already pulling you along to Heartslabyul, telling you how you all are going to have the best sleepovers of your lives, leaving Deuce to carry your things.

The next few days were one of the weirdest ones in your whole life. And that’s rich coming from someone who literally got isekai’ed into a totally different world.

At the time being you were living in Deuce and Ace’s room along with Grim. Apparently one of their roommates was absent due to some family matters, so you were the one occupying his bed.

What made everything odd was the behavior of your Heartlsabyul friends.

When you wanted to go to the kitchen to grab something to eat, Trey blocked your path and said that he will bring you something before shutting the door in front of you. You got some kind of kitchen block or something.

Almost every time you saw Cater he was with his clones doing some kind of diy things. But when you asked him if you could join, as it looked really fun, he quickly brushed you off and told you to go somewhere do some trivial things or go cause someone was apparently looking for you. It was clear that those were just an excuses to get rid of you.

Riddle looked more stiff than usual, but instead of having that strict stiffness he was nervously stiff. Every time you wanted to talk to him to ask about his dormmates weird behaviors, or just talk about anything in general, he was visibly sweating, like he wanted to say something but he couldn’t. You figured that because of that he was avoiding you.

Deuce and Grim were doing their absolute best to keep you in Heartslabyul, especially in their room. You were so confused because of that. If you asked them if they want to hang out outside they quickly shut down the idea, and came up with something to do while being indoors. Sometimes you felt like some kind of prisoner who can’t leave.

But the weirdest one was Ace.

You had very little occasions to talk to him at all, as he constantly had something to do, which was weird as he was one of, if not the most responsibility and duty avoiding person you know. And it clearly wasn’t a lie, as he was sweaty and tired all the time. But when you asked about it and proposed your help, he said he was fine and that you don’t need to worry your pretty head about it.

One of those weird days, after lesson ended, Deuce and Ace quickly left you behind, saying they need to take care of something. They were gone before you could even open your mouth.

You sighed, having no idea why your friends were doing everything in their power to not spend time with you. Did your outburst that occurred few days ago had hurt them that much? That must have been the reason why they are acting like that.

“I am sooo hungry!” whined Grim, coming up from behind you.

He startled you a little, as you thought that he went off with the dumb and dumber duo.

He laid his paw on your leg to hold himself up. It was clear that he was not only hungry but also tired. You chuckled at the sight of that and picked him up. He instantly snuggled up to your chest.

“What do you think about going to the cafeteria then?” you asked him, not really eager to go to the Heartslabyul kitchen, knowing that you won’t even get the chance to step inside.

To your great surprise Grim declined your offer, asking if you could bring him some fruit from botanical garden. You were about to protest, saying that if he wanted something so specific he should go there himself, but when you saw his big, pleading eyes you knew you lost.

At the sight of you rolling your eyes, Grim exclaimed in happiness. He got out of your arms and said that he will go to the Heartslabyul by himself to take a nap, so you don’t need to hurry. Which was weird as Grim always rushing you to bring him food that he wanted.

But you were too tired to argue, so you just nodded and you both went your own ways.

You were getting back to Heartslabyul empty handed. Apparently Grim lied to you, as the fruit he wanted didn’t even grow in this time of year, as informed you Leona, that you were so fortunate to meet.

You were full of frustration. You decided that it’s time for you to finally confront your friends suspicious behavior. It was becoming tiresome and annoying.

As you were thinking about what you will say to them, your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of your phone.

Ace texted you to come to Ramshackle. There was no explanation or anything. Just one short sentence.

Even though you were confused on why he wanted you there. Maybe the ghosts’ finally gave your dorm back. But why would Ace be there?

So despite being tired, you changed your direction and started heading to Ramshackle, wanting to be over with anything that will be waiting for you there.

So despite being tired, you changed your direction and started heading to Ramshackle, wanting to be over with anything that will be waiting for you there.

When you finally got there, the sight that had greeted you after opening the dorm, was one that you would have never thought that you would see.

Before you was your dorm’s lounge. But it wasn’t the odd sight. The things that amazed you was the fact that it was covered in many Christmas decorations.

And not only that! When you looked around you saw everything else; in the corner was standing a beautifully decorated Christmas tree with presents laying neatly under it, there were socks attached to the stove with candies spilling out of them, on the ceiling there were origami made ornaments and in the middle of the room was a large table, filled with many delicious looking Christmas meals.

You were so confused that you instantly pinched yourself, thinking that you’re dreaming. But you fortunately weren’t.

The sound of ghost laughing, while floating above you made you snap out of the weird trance you were in. And only now you saw all of your Heartslabyul friends and Grim standing before you, looking at you expectedly.

Only now everything clicked in your mind. The avoiding, hiding before you, keeping you inside their room, not letting you see anything. It was all so you won’t find out about them preparing all of this.

The first one to speak up was Riddle, who you noticed had a cozy sweater with a character somehow similar to Santa Claus.

“Merry Christmas Prefect, we hope you are satisfied with our work.” That made you realize today’s date. You couldn’t believe that from all that has been happening recently you forgot about it.

You were speechless. You didn’t know what to say to them.

But they have taken it the wrong way, thinking that you weren’t happy with what they did.

“W-we hope we haven’t disrespect you or your traditions.” Riddle spoke up again. “All we had was Ace’s retellings of what you have told him, and you probably know that he isn’t a reliable source of information.” His words were followed by Ace’s yells of protests.

That made you look at him, at which he jumped at.

He gulped, already thinking that his plan backfired at him. “So… it was your idea?” you asked, coming closer to him. He took a little step back, scared of what’s to come.

“Emm… yea… I-I just thought that if you can’t have that Christmas thing with your family, then m-maybe you can have one with us here instead…” his voice got quieter as he was speaking and he was keeping his head low in shame.

Maybe he was wrong for thinking of himself as a genius for coming up with all of this.

The silence that followed this was making everyone even more nervous. Your friends looked between each other with visible stress all over his face. They wanted to cheer you up, not make your mood worse.

It was broken by the sound of your sniffles.

They all instantly perked up, coming closer to you and apologising, while obviously throwing the shade at Ace, as it was his idea.

Ace got hit in the ribs by Deuce, and was now clutching his side.

But their fretting over you was interrupted by your sounds again, but this time – you were laughing with tears and snot running down your face. That confused all of them greatly.

“You don’t have anything to be sorry about.” You started, saying through your sniffles. “I’m just so happy that I couldn’t believe my eyes. I still can’t. Please don’t let this be a dream.” You ended your sentence with another laughing fit.

That made them all sigh in relief. Ace had also winced in pain.

“You got us worried for a moment.” sighed Riddle, his tensed shoulder visibly relaxing.

“We are glad that you like our work.” Said Trey, handing you a napkin that you gratefully took.

“Well now that the misunderstanding is over, here!” came up Cater with a cozy Christmas sweater for you. You looked at it and noticed what the rest of them were wearing.

Cater’s sweater had a gingerbread cookies pattern, Trey’s had a big Christmas tree, Grim had a Christmas themes bow on him. Deuce and Ace’s sweaters had reindeers on them – Ace’s one had red nose and Deuce’s blue, and what made you even happier was the fact that on your sweater, was the same reindeer with a nose of your favorite color.

Seeing how clumsily they were done, you figured that they did them by themselves. Your smile only widened.

“And now we are all ready to begin celebrating Christmas. So let’s all go sit by the table.” Said Riddle, and you all cheered. Grim of course was the loudest one.

The dinner was full of laughter and happiness.

The ghost joined you despite not being able to eat. They laughed at the genius of Ace who came up with the whole tradition of ghosts idea.

They told you all about the process of making everything. Trey said that it was hard to make something even slightly similar to the meals from your story, without knowing their recipes and taste.

Cater was talking about how fun it was to make origami, and that he thinks he found a new hobby for himself. Thought his talking was interrupted all the time by him taking photos of everything, saying how he wishes there was an actual Christmas-like holiday in their world cause all of this is so photogenic.

Riddle apologized for avoiding you, saying how he didn’t trust himself with keeping all of this in secret. He also admitted to being the one who did those sweaters. It was clear he was kind of embarrassed, knowing that his work wasn’t the most splendid one. But you all encouraged him, saying that for his first time it came out really good. He just bashfully thanked you.

Grim was to no one’s surprise too busy stuffing himself with food, and only sometimes said something with full mouth, Deuce was too occupied by reprimanding him to not talk while eating cause he can choke. And he was ready to take action if that would occur.

The only one who was suspiciously quiet was Ace.

On the surface he may looked like he was bored from all this sappy and happy-go-lucky atmosphere.

But the truth was that he was too focused on you and how happy you looked right now. It’s not that you weren’t laughing often, quite the contrary. He, Deuce and Grim are great form of entertainment after all.

But the sight of you being so content and comfortable around things that are familiar, things that remind you of your home made him upset.

That made him realize that you are not meant to be here. You never were. You two met only by a sheer coincidence.

And what hit him the most was the thought of you going back home. When you were talking about your family and traditions to him, and how much you miss them, he realized that there is no guarantee that you will be by his side forever.

Thought it doesn’t seem like you will be going anywhere any time soon, as it’s clear that the headmage does not concern himself with searching for a way home for you.

But maybe one day he will succeed in finding one, or even you will discover it before him, he wouldn’t be surprised at all if that would happen.

Would you choose to go back to your world? To your family and friends?

He knows it’s selfish to want you to have him as enough of a reason to stay here. Even though he isn’t anything special, he really wants to be the one that makes you choose to stay.

He is not proud of the fact the he isn’t sure if he would be able to let you go without trying any dirty trick to persuade you to stay here. In Twisted Wonderland. In Night Raven College. With Grim, Deuce and all of your friends.

To stay with him.

Then his inner turmoil was interrupted by you two catching eye contact. You smiled at him, clearly grateful for coming up with this idea, before going back into talking with others.

He sighed. Thinking and worrying about future wasn’t his thing. Better to stop now before he starts crying. He has a reputation to uphold after all.

He smiled and joined your conversation, instantly adding his slice of chaos to it, thinking that he better enjoy the here and now. Till it’s still here.

After dinner there was a lot more waiting for you.

Under the Christmas tree were presents that you haven’t notice earlier. You felt ashamed for not preparing anything for any of your friends, but they told you to not worry about it at all.

These presents were clearly something that they hadn’t had a long time to think about. But every each of them was very loudly screaming that it was from their assigned boy.

Trey got you some new kitchen utensils, which will be very helpful, as the ones you have are in poor shape.

Cater gave you a phone charm made from beads with familiar shapes; rose, heart, spade, club and diamond. It didn’t take a genius to know what, or who they represented.

Riddle gave you few books that he hoped will fit your tastes. He even proposed that after you read them, you both can have some kind of a book club meeting where you will talk about these books.

Deuce gave you a set of new pajamas that were in really similar fashion to his hot pink, panther themed ones. He bashfully said that his mom choose them and sent them over. Even if they really weren’t in your style, you couldn’t say that they weren’t soft and comfortable.

Grim didn’t prepare anything, at which he got a lecture from not only Riddle but Ace as well. He argued with them saying that he is enough of a gift to you. Maybe in different situation you would be upset about this, but now it didn’t bother you at all. Grim seeing that you were smiling when he exclaimed being your present, puffed out his chest, clearly proud.

And Ace, to your surprise had also prepared a present for you. You thought that arranging this whole celebration is enough of a Christmas gift, but in his eyes it was still not enough.

His present was a necklace with red heart charm dangling from it. You were confused, as it was clearly anreally expensive piece of jewelry, but when you wanted to refuse taking it, thinking that he will now have financial problems because of how much money he had spent on it, he told you not to worry about it, as he had bought it a really long time ago. There just never was an occasion to give you it, without it being weird.

But before you could ask why did he had it for so long, you were all swept by Cater to take a group photo with the camera that Crowley had gave you. So you decided to ask him about it some other time, and now just enjoy the time with your friends.

After all of the celebrating ended, you all decided to stay over at Ramshackle, as it was already night. And also Riddle wanted to make sure that his dormmates won’t avoid cleaning up everything in the morning.

Because all of the rooms were not cleaned up, expect for the one that you and Grim slept in, you all decided to just settle in the living room. You and Grim decided to join them there.

They all quickly fell asleep, clearly tired from all of the preparations.

But you, no matter how much you tried, you couldn’t fall asleep.

You looked around. On the couch was sleeping no other than Riddle, who was chosen as the one to sleep there, while others would occupy the floor. At first he argued that you should be the one sleeping on there, but after some persuading he reluctantly agreed. And now he hugged Grim like some sort of plushie. Not like the fluffy guy minded, clearly comfortable with being in Heartslabyul housewarden’s arms.

Next to the couch was Trey, who like a card soldier guarded his Queen of hearts. At least in his dreams maybe. He was the first one to get unconscious, which Ace and Cater took big advantage of that. Their doings were visible in form of Trey’s face being full of doodles and Cater’s camera roll.

On your other side was an adorable sight – Cater cradling Deuce like a mother did to her baby. From the look on Deuce’s face it was clear that he was content with this arrangement. He was really a mama’s boy.

But the only missing one was Ace.

When you stood up confused, ready to look for him. Which you didn’t have to do for long as the door to the Ramshackle was slightly opened. So that’s why it was kind of chilly.

You wrapped yourself in a blanket and headed outside. And there he was – sitting on the stairs.

He was clearly too lost in his thoughts as he didn’t seem to mind the cold, despite shivering, but he also hadn’t noticed you coming up behind him.

That’s why he was startled when you covered him with the blanket you took with you, sitting next to him. He looked at you, and visibly relaxed when he caught eye contact with you.

He smiled at you. “I see that you also couldn’t fall asleep.” He started. You nodded in reply and snuggled closer to get more warm. But he didn’t mind it at all.

“What are you doing out there at this hour?” you asked. He only sighed and glanced up at the night sky. You followed his gaze and were meet with a breathtaking sight of stars filling the whole sky.

“What got you so occupied? You look more focused than you are at any test we have.” You teased him at which he chuckled at. He sighed knowing what there is no use hiding anything from you, you knew him too well to not see through his façade.

“Do you think you would miss us when you will finally find your way home?” that confused you greatly. You didn’t think that Ace thought about that at all. But now that you looked at his face it was clear that he was beating himself over it for some reason.

“That’s a stupid question. Of course I would miss you, you guys are like a second family to me!” you got closer to him, if it was even possible. That made him look at you again, still toubled.

“Ah forget it.” He was about to stand up but you caught the sleeve of his pajamas and had bring him down to sit again. He didn’t fight against you at all.

“Ace.” You started but he refused to look at you. That made you understand what he meant. You laughed quietly and returned your gaze to the sky.

“You know, back in my world I could never see stars to brightly due to the air pollution. But now that I am here I could admire them all the time.” you felt him looking at you.

“What does that have to do with anything?” he asked. You looked at him again and smiled. “What I meant is that in both worlds there are things that make me one to stay. To be honest I had been thinking about that a lot recently. Of course if I could not choose at all I wouldn’t. Now I miss my family and everything that I had left behind, but if I ever get back I would miss all of the things I love in Twisted Wonderland, both worlds have something worth staying for.” You finished, feeling the tears that begun to form in your eyes.

“Huh, I didn’t know that seeing stars could be an enough reason to stay in another world.” He said with his typical mischievous grin. You laugh at that and laid your head on his shoulder, at which you felt him tens up.

“Yea… something like that…” you felt him lay his head on yours.

“Hey Ace” you had spoken again.

“Hm?”

“Merry Christmas.”

“Yea… Merry Christmas Prefect.”

<𝟑 RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS

Riddle opened the door to your room, carrying a bag full of medicine that he knows that will help with your sickness. He did think that maybe he is extravagating, as you told him that it’s only a fever, but he couldn’t help but worry about you.

He was about to announce himself but fortunately he noticed your sleeping form in time.

He came closer to your bed and laid the bag on your night stand without taking his eyes off you. Gently he out his hand on your forehead to check your temperature, which as he expected was worryingly warm.

When he reached for the bag he accidentally threw it off and made it fall to the floor. He gritted his teeth and nervously looked at you to make sure he didn’t wake you up. Luckily he didn’t.

That made him sigh in relief. He then crouched down to pick up the medicine. But immediately something different caught his attention.

It was the locket necklace he saw you having tied around your neck all the time. Of course he was curious what was inside but he thought that maybe you weren’t comfortable with showing him the photo inside. He deducted that you will surely show him what is inside sooner or later.

But now you didn’t need to, as the necklace laid opened. He blushed at the sight of it.

There was a photo of him that you must have taken on one of your first dates, though without his knowledge.

He got stuck in some weird trance while looking at it, and only came back to reality when he saw your hand picking it up, closing it in the process. So after all you have awaken due to the noise he made.

When he looked up he noticed the embarrassment visible on your face, which only made the red on his cheeks deepen.

He stood up and sat next to you, both of you looking down, neither knowing how to break the silence.

Surprisingly he was the one to spoke up first.

“Would you l-like to tell m-me… why you k-keep a picture of me…?” he asked shyly. He did think that it may be a sensitive topic or just an uncomfortable one for you, but he just couldn’t contain his curiosity. And he asked if you want to tell him first so if you don’t want to you can just deny him.

But your exhale made him hopeful. You then opened the locket and handed it to him so he can take  a better look at it.

“It may be a silly reason but… I have your photo in my locket because… well…” you only started, but he immediately noticed how your fidgeting got progressively more intense, signifying that you’re nervous.

That’s why he took one of your hands in his one. That made you look at him, his warm smile made you feel more comfortable.

“It’s just… you are constantly busy due to the housewarden responsibilities and the time you have to sacrifice for studying to keep your place as the top student. And don’t get me wrong! I love this hard working side of you! And I know what I was signing for when deciding to date you, but… I feel like we don’t really spend a lot of time together and just sometimes happen to be together in one proximity… so I just found a way to keep you somehow close” you stopped for a moment and broke the eye contact.

“Without bothering you…” you whispered, feeling slightly ashamed of yourself, despite knowing that your feelings are valid.

Riddle was too stunned to speak for a moment, looking at you with wide eyes. He had no idea you felt like that, and now when you finally told him about it, he felt stupid for not noticing how little time you spend together on purpose.

He squeezed your hand to make you look at him again. And when you did he had a apologetic look on his face.

“I want to apologize for my ignorance… There is no excuse for how I neglected you, so much that you thought that it’s better for you to have a photo of me take the place of your partner…” he started. Then the look on his face turned into one of determination.

“But I promise to make more time for you” and you knew that he will surely keep his promise.

“I’ll hold you to your word then” you smiled at him, which he reciprocated immediately. He was glad that a smile finally appeared on your face.

But don’t think that you will avoid taking the bitter medicine that he had bring you.

<𝟑 AZUL ASHENGROTTO

Azul couldn’t believe that after all this time of knowing Floyd he still gets surprised from his randomness.

He looked up at the smirking merman that was looking down at his sitting form and raised an eyebrow at him. It was foolish of him to think that he can work on his contracts in peace.

“What was so important Floyd, that you decided to leave while on your work shift and come to me personally?” Azul asked with an unimpressed look on his face, which didn’t discourage Floyd but only made him giggle.

“I came to give ya a little something” Floyd said with a teasing gleam in his eyes “I think that it’s something that will pick your interest” and without any further explanation he laid something on his desk and left his office.

Azul sighed at his friend’s behavior, but his gaze immediately went to the object left by Floyd. He gently picked it up in his hands. It was a necklace, and an oddly familiar looking one at that, but he couldn’t put his mind on where has he seen a jewelry like that.

But after a moment he shrugged, settling on thought that it was probably on the internet or some magazine.

He was sure that somebody probably have lost it and Floyd has just happened to find it (although he wouldn’t put it above him to have stole it), which meant that sooner or later that person will think of coming to him for help to retrieve it.

After he internally patted himself on the back for his genius, he noticed that the necklace had a way to open it. Luckily for him he didn’t have much remorse for violating someone’s privacy.

And at the same time that he had opened the locket, the door to his office has opened too.

“Hey Azul, have you maybe seen the necklace that you had given me?” you asked, slowly revealing you figure. Perfect timing.

Ah, so that’s where he has seen it. How silly of him to forgot something that was bought my his own money for his dearest partner.

When you didn’t get a response immediately you got confused and walked closer to the desk that Azul was sitting behind. And there was your lost necklace, lying in your boyfriend’s hands, open, showing his photo.

You blushed in embarrassment at your secret being discovered by him. “Oh, there it is” you said quietly.

Azul slowly looked up at you with pink covering his face. “Can I ask why d-do you carry a picture of me?”

“It’s n-nothing serious really… It’s just that you are so constantly busy that I figured that I will keep a photo of you so I can feel somehow close to you without bothering you… It’s so silly I know” you said nervously without looking at him.

“Honestly it sometimes feels like a photo of you is more of your boyfriend than you” you joked, hoping to lighten up the mood.

At which you failed greatly.

Azul immediately after your words stood up and rounded the desk to be close to you. He took your hands in his, giving you your necklace back, and with visible embarrassment on his face looked you into eyes.

“I want to sincerely apologize… for not noticing how little time we spend together. That’s why I ask you now to go on a date with me.”

You blinked at him surprised. “Like… right not?” you asked with a confused smile.

“Precisely” he linked his arm around yours and started to pull you towards the door “My work can be finished later, now you are my priority” he said with that smug smile of his.

“And I hoped that we maybe could take a better photo of me for your locket.”

<𝟑 JAMIL VIPER

Even though Jamil knew that you feel bad about giving him more work, he insisted on taking care of some of your duties, as you had something important to do. Although it did took some time to make you leave your room to go where you needed to be.

And now he was beginning to do the last responsibility that he was on your list, which was washing the laundry.

As he was checking the pocket of your clothing, he began wondering why doing something for you didn’t feel like a chore, like it was with Kalim. Obviously he hadn’t have to do it for you, unlike for his housewarden, but it couldn’t be only that.

Before he could dive deeper into this new thought, his hand has found something in the pockets of one of your pants. And it wouldn’t do such impression on him if it was a tissue or some trash that you have forgotten to throw away.

But it was a locket necklace, one that he has seen you wear almost all the time, that’s why he was confused to why you haven’t it with yourself right now.

He knew that he should just leave it on your desk or somewhere but instead pocketed it in his hoodie and thought that after finishing doing the laundry he will go to wait for you in his room and just text you to call him when you’re done.

And for the rest of the process of doing the laundry, he was now wondering about what was inside your locket and fighting with himself to not peek what’s inside.

Later when you called he asked you to come to his room as he has something to ask you, and due to him sounding quite serious (although it was his normal tune) you hurried and went there immediately after ending the call.

And when you arrived you found Jamil already waiting for you next to the entrance to the Scarabia dormitory.

He perked up after seeing you and came up closer to you right away. And before you could even greet him or thank him for helping you with your duties, he gently took your hand and laid your necklace there.

Your hand immediately went to your bare neck and your eyes widened. You couldn’t believe that you have forgotten something so important! Then you realized what that could mean and your eyes shyly looked at Jamil.

“Did you…?” you were embarrassed to even ask him, but thankfully you didn’t have to end your question as he instantly understood what you were talking about.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t look inside” that made you sigh in relief. “But I actually hoped that you would show me what photo you have in there. If you want to of course, don’t feel pressured” he said and laid a hand on your shoulder as an attempt to make you feel comfortable.

And although you didn’t feel like you have to tell him, but the curious look in his eyes made you decided to finally reveal your little secret.

You slowly opened your locket, which made him perk up, and at the sight of his photo inside his breath got in his throat.

He didn’t even need to ask you to explain why you have it inside.

“The thing is… I know that you are really busy due to your status as both Scarabia vice-housewarden and Kalim’s… servant, so I feel really bad when I bother you when you’re working or have that rare moment of peace to rest… That’s why I thought that I will just keep a photo of you in my necklace to somehow contain my longing…” you said slightly ashamed.

“It’s stupid I know-”

“Not at all” Jamil said firmly. “I’m sorry that… I didn’t notice how me working is affecting you” you wanted to argue that he didn’t owe you an apology for that but he wouldn’t let you. “But you should know that you could never be a bother for me. Your presence always sooths me, no matter if I’m working or resting, you’re always welcomed” he finished with a warm smile.

You smiled at that and nodded, too at loss for words.

Then he took the necklace from your hands and closed it. He circled you to stay behind you and gently put it on you and locked it.

“So what do you say about having a sleepover tonight?”

<𝟑 VIL SCHOENHEIT

As Vil started doing his morning routine, he noticed something lying on his vanity table. It was the locket necklace he saw you wearing all the time, so it was weird that you left it here.

Yesterday you had a movie watching date, and although he did propose having a sleepover, you refused due to having to wake up early tomorrow to attend some meeting, which he understood and didn’t press on.

You must have been so tired that you forgot that you have taken it off after it got tangled with his hair during your cuddling.

He looked at the time on his phone and saw that you must have already departed for said meeting, and although he didn’t know how long would it last, he decided to personally go deliver your necklace to your room after a few hours so he will be sure that you will be there, as he didn’t trust anyone (especially Rook) to respect your privacy and not peek inside it.

He nodded satisfied at the plan he came up with and continued his routine.

When the time to visit you finally arrived, and he was already in front of the door to your room, he knocked and waited for a few moments. To his confusion no one opened it, but before he could turn around and leave he heard your muffled voice that yelled for him to come inside.

Which was weird as you always welcome him personally by opening the door for him.

But he just shrugged and stepped inside, his eyes immediately finding your figure, that was clearly searching for something, which he was sure that it was what he came to return.

“Hey Vil, did you need something?” you asked him, although you didn’t even turn around to look at him and greet your boyfriend properly, which left him slightly bothered.

“So I can’t come to you unless I need something?” he teased you with a raised eyebrow. Though you missed the sarcasm in his voice and took it personally.

“No, no, of course not!” you said finally acknowledging him with your gaze.

He chuckled warmly and came closer to you “I was just kidding dearest, don’t take everything so seriously.”

You laughed, slightly embarrassed at not getting his sarcasm. “Sorry.”

He smiled at you “Although yes, I do need something from you, actually, you are the one who needs something from me” he said. That made you raise an eyebrow at him, but before you could ask what he meant by that, you noticed the thing you were looking for in his opened palm.

“My necklace!” you exclaimed with relief. “I can’t believe I left something so important!” you took the locket and hugged it to your chest.

“What is so important about it? If you don’t mind me asking of course” said Vil, happy at the sight of your nerves easing.

You looked at him for a moment, before opening the locket, showing him his photo. He smirked at the sight of that, as he was already suspecting himself as the one that you keep tied around your neck.

“You don’t need a photo to admire me you know, you can just look at the real thing” he said with his teasing grin. Although you only chuckled awkwardly at that. That confused him.

“But I don’t have many opportunities to look at the real you, do I?” you said sadly. That made his eyes widen.

“What do you mean by that?” he furrowed his eyebrows. A sigh left you.

“It’s just that… you are so busy all the time with your career as a Pomefiore housewarden, model and actor… I always feel bad when I try to squish myself in your already packed schedule. So I-“

“So you find something to make you miss my presence less?” he finished for you, weirdly quietly. You shyly nodded.

You grew nervous when you were met with a silence. But before you could joke that it wasn’t anything serious he tapped something quickly in his phone.

“I’m disappointed in myself for not noticing my partner’s struggle to voice their needs, but fret not dearest, I will redeem myself” he smiled at you warmly and took your hands in his.

“I propose adding weekly dates into my schedule. We can discuss it together right now, as I cleared my plans for the rest of today” he lead you to your bed and sat down, you following.

“And remember, there is always a space for you in my schedule, no matter how packed it is" and he booped your nose as a sort of ressurence.

⋆. 𐙚 ˚ 𝓣hinking about devoted men that would do anything and everything just for you to smile.

It's such a hassle to get close to them, enough so that they consider you as a friend, much more now that you two have become lovers.

Love makes you do things strange to others. And they are a prime example of that— every step you take, every breath, and every touch you make, sends them spiraling in of delirium. They never knew that love could feel like this, this painful curling inside their chest that they want to keep feeling forever, this unexplainable happiness they feel when they see you, it's so overwhelming in ways they didn't think they'd experience.

Idia didn't think that he'd ever get a partner, dear sevens, he didn't even spare that a thought considering how cursed he is— why would he when he's destined to be miserable forever? Bounded by his fate in STYX. Well... Until you came along— with your persistence and determination to be friends, eventually, he found himself here, in his room, acting domestic with you. The two of you were playing a cozy game while being drapped all over eachother as if you two were clothes. It was comforting, it was soft, and he was undeniably overwhelmed with love that he wanted to barf at how domestic this was. "Y'know... This is starting to feel like a shoujo epilogue where the two leads are acting all domestic to eachother" he remarked while resting his head on your shoulder, "you think?" You replied while leaning on his head, he hummed in response.

Silver thought that he'd never have a partner considering that he's Malleus's knight: he'd be too busy ensuring his liege is safe and making sure that no misfortune falls on him— as knights tended to do. But, to his surprise, he's now dating you, his dream come true. Now, he didn't really think that he'd fall into a love-trap™ straight into your arms, however, as the two of you sat underneath a tree as the sun sets, he can't help but think that he was destined to fall into that trap, no matter how deep he'd fall into it, and he didn't mind. No not at all, not as the two of you held hands underneath the sunset. "Hey Silver, what do you want to do when we graduate?" You asked as you snuggled onto his chest, he glanced down with a smile as he traced your features with his eyes, "live with you" he replied with a love sick grin, you giggled "you're so silly Silver— of course we'd live together"

Malleus used to wonder what love would feel like— would it feel like a sudden crash into your life that settles too quickly that it becomes too overwhelming to bear? Or would it be like a soft feeling in your chest that settles ever so slowly as you continue to sink further into a rabbit hole? He needed to know. And... Well he didn't really need to wonder anymore now that you're here— the answer to all his questions, and he found that... It was all of those things at the same time. It was like a sudden diversion to his life that he realized slowly through the years with you— and he didn't even realize it in a dramatic way, with the two of you underneath the stars laughing together. Dear sevens, no. That was the most outrageous part, because he realized it while you two were in Diasomnia's kitchen in the middle of the night, hanging out. While you were preparing a late night snack because you got hungry, he stumbled upon you while he was doing his stroll. Now, he stood behind you, hugging your waist as you prepared your snack, leaning and snuggling against you as you tried to support both of your weight. "Hey Malleus, do you think we'll be soulmates in every universe?" He thought of an answer to your question for a second before he responded, "I already think that we are in this one" you laughed, "you're so cheesy" you snorted, he smiled and leaned onto you, "if it makes you laugh, then I don't see the problem in acting 'cheesy' " he remarked.

Vil thought that he'd be too busy to entertain the very act of being in love— being a young actor, a housewarden, and a student can be allot to manage, so adding love to the mix can definitely stress him out even more. So the surprise he felt when he realized that he was in love with you sent him spiraling. He kept thinking at how busy he is to even entertain the thought of it, at how stressful it is to announce to the whole world, that their favorite actor has a partner now. However... He's come to realize that love isn't about the big gestures, it's as simple as staying beside them. Like right now: as you layed in your bed, sick, sniffling and coughing as he sat beside you feeding you soup. "What did I tell you about dancing in the rain?" He scolded, but you paid no mind in his scolding, and instead grinned, "I think it was worth it— dancing in the rain with you, this is just a small price to pay" you smiled, then coughed again, he shook his head disapprovingly, but held a tiny smile, "of course you do"

Jamil already had allot on his plate, from Kalim, to being a vice-housewarden, he had almost everything in his arms that thinking about love made it more overwhelming. As Kalim's servant, he didn't need to think about all those. But, sometimes, as he sat in the kitchen isle, he can't help but wonder what it will be like to have someone share this burden. To have someone with him in the kitchen preparing food, to have someone with him doing laundry, to have someone with him that didn't feel overwhelming. And as he glanced at you getting flour all over your face, he thinks 'I already have one' as he rolled his eyes with a smile as you swiped jam on his nose, "boop!" You giggled, he sighed as he leaned onto your face, "y'know we don't have time for this" he scolded, you laughed and cupped his face with your hands, "I think we have plenty of time" you grinned as you leaned in back.

A rewrite, soulmate au with twst boys. -> gender neutral reader ft. vil. jamil. idia.

part one . part two . part three .

Jamil Viper — [ old version ]

Since his youth, Mr. Viper had always been a busybody. A decision made not by his personal choice but a pathway set for him since his unfortunate birth as an indentured servant in the Al-Asim household. A reality that had left the man completely uninterested in the concept of soulmates. It was a cruel reality to think of the fact that maybe, somewhere out there, some unfortunate soul was stuck with him . . By something as trifling as fate . . funny isn't it?

If that's alright to request, I'd love to see your take on it!

Octotrio (separate) x reader headcanons + drabble

[cw/tags]– fluff, perhaps ever so slight suggestive in floyd's part? making out

[wc}– 1,000+ each

notes— okay one, back to properly formatting(?) or whatever this is called. two, had this in my asks for a while because I really loved this and wanted to give it proper attention!!! doing bullet points this time tho so I don't go overboard lol

ᓚᘏᗢ TAGS: Fem reader. Fluff. ᓚᘏᗢ Summary: You satiate Rielle's curiosity regarding the pigments people use on land to adorn their faces. ᓚᘏᗢ A/N: please yana release more official illustrations of the rsas boys im going crazy | ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎ . . . TWST MASTERLIST

When he grasped your hands in his and looked at you with those bright, turquoise eyes that resembled his homeland, how could you say no to his request?

The first few times he dwelled on land, he sought your guidance in the tumultuous venture he was about to face into human society. It was cruel and dissonant, too. However, you didn’t have the heart to crumple the pristine ideal he had of what to expect in land.

Therefore, you guided him through it. You wouldn’t say you taught him per se, as Rielle did his research beforehand and gained a solid foundation on things like walking and how people greet each other. All based on observation, of course, but to say that didn’t count as learning would be unfair, right?

…At least, that was what he said after you told him that observation wasn’t enough, that applying what he learned preceded moving to more complex ventures. You emphasized this, considering that the poor guy wanted to sprint as soon as he managed to stand on his feet—thanks to you holding his hands, by the way.

Afab body. Not proofread like AT ALL. sorryyyyy

It’ll be likely he’s got a hunch but avoids solidifying any conclusion.

The only way for him to ascertain that you’re a virgin is if you outright tell him. In which case, he’ll be nicer…after he teases you a little.

“Coming first to the lion that’s going to eat you rather than a prince charming is certainly a choice.”

Let him be. That’s his way of trying to get you to relax. Also, lowkey, he doesn’t consider himself to be worthy of such delicate experience. He won’t admit it but, deep down, he’s worried that he might hurt you.

The joke doesn’t land well with you—or rather—it reignites your determination. You get on top of him with no hesitation, rendering Leona taken aback.

If you try to rush it, he’ll stop you. Don’t try to ride him or take him in one go with little preparation, as he won’t allow you.

“Hey, what are you trying to do?” His tail swishes from one side to the other, annoyed. “You’ll end up sore if you try to do that.”

As he directs you to lie on your back, he mumbles something about not wanting to hear you complain about aches after the deed’s done. (Don’t believe him, he’s using that as a front. The truth’s that he doesn’t want you to hurt yourself.)

For someone who believes in survival of the fittest idea, he demonstrates he can be gentle when facing an intimate moment like this. Although, keeping his direct approach. Rather than grazing his digits across your thigh or trailing soft kisses down your neck, he doesn’t hesitate to pull your underwear down first things first.
