driver’s license
↬ Summary: In which you finally get your driver's license and offer a ride to the guys. It goes as well as you can imagine.
↬ Characters: Jamil Viper, Jade Leech
↬ Tags: fluff, bit of crack
↬ Notes: i am back!! from a very long hiatus!! i also have another side blog for another fandom now haha so that made me think of writing something for here. also on a side note.. should i open ko-fi or something similar for those who want to commission when requests are closed? let me know in an ask or a reply or literally anywhere haha
Jamil Viper
↬ When you tell Jamil that you've finally gotten your license, he feels, at the very least, proud. Driving is hard no matter how you look at it, and getting a license is just proof of how much you've practiced earning one. He gives you reminders such as to never drink and drive or to always take a break if you feel like you're too tired to drive.
↬ He's quite confident in you, so when you ask him if he wants to join you for a ride, he thinks of how to leave Kalim in someone's care for a while before saying yes. His family would kill him for this, but Kalim would kill everyone in the car if he were to join.
↬ With Kalim out of the way and you being super enthusiastic about driving, the two of you get in the car with high hopes. You've planned on driving around town to do some errands, but the moment you start your car, it makes a weird noise that drains the color from Jamil's face.
↬ "Hey," he says after a long pause, getting nervous and rechecking his seatbelt. You still have a smile on your face, but it doesn't ease his worries one bit. "That doesn't sound good—"
↬ The car jerks forward before moving again, and he swore he got whiplash and a heart attack from it. Your engine sounds like it's dying, making whirring noises that definitely sounded wrong.
↬ "It's okay!" you say as you step on the gas. The car whirs and buzzes as the speedometer rises (along with Jamil's blood pressure), and then realization dawns on you. "Oh! I forgot to change my gear. Hold on."
↬ As you take one hand off the steering wheel, the car starts moving to the side. Jamil snaps, holding onto his seat for dear life as he watches his life flash in front of him. Maybe this was good since it would free him from his duties, and yet… dying in a car crash seems too terrible, even for him.
↬ "What are you doing!?" he asks when you accidentally turn your headlights on instead of making a signal. A car from behind you honks its horn, but you pay it no mind as you make a turn and activate the signal at the very last moment. It's a wonder you haven't gotten pulled over yet.
↬ "Just relax! See, let's park right there," you say, briefly gesturing to a spot sandwiched between two, very expensive-looking cars. Jamil glances between you and the cars, sighing in disbelief as he unbuckles his seatbelt.
↬ "Get out," he says, already halfway through the door. The last thing he needs is to pay for damages when you inevitably crash into those cars. "I'm going to be the one driving from now on."
Jade Leech
↬ Jade is very supportive from the start, his carefully practiced expression dismissing any of your initial concerns. Little do you know there are pads, a helmet, and a first aid kit in his bag, just in case the two of you needed it even before you arrived at the campsite. He observes you as you start the car, noting how you checked the mirrors and seatbelts first before anything else. Good.
↬ It's a long drive ahead, so he's resigned himself to keeping you alert so you don't fall asleep. After all, you're the only one with a license between the two of them, because driving with his new legs is a little too complicated for Jade yet.
↬ The drive starts out fairly fine. He has never heard that many suspicious noises in the span of a few minutes in his lifetime, but he chalks it up to your relative inexperience. No one starts out perfect at driving, especially with how difficult it is in the first place.
↬ He would've applauded you for even getting to the freeways without crashing into anyone yet if it weren't for your personality change midway. You start spewing out insults, pressing on the gas to overtake some poor grandmother who was in the wrong lane. If he hadn't known you for some time, he would've been… scared.
↬ "Yeah, get your ass off the highway if you can't keep up with the minimum speed limit," you spit as you get back to your original lane. Jade retains the calm facade on his face, but he's already thinking if he should force you into pulling over and calming down soon.
↬ "My dear," he starts out, one hand in his backpack in case he already needs to take the helmet out. "Shouldn't you exercise more patience? You are a new driver yourself, after all."
↬ "Nah," you say, swerving as another slow car blocks your way. Jade is sure you're breaking so, so many laws right now. "Oh hey, that's our exit. Crap, I'm not in the outer lane right now."
↬ After narrowly missing your exit and decreasing Jade's lifespan by at least a few years, the two of you are finally at the base of the mountain you decided on camping at. Jade's legs shake as he gets out of the car, threatening to give up as he attempts to walk over to your side.
↬ With a gentle, yet firm hand on your shoulder, he gives you his signature smile before saying, "Let us take the mirror next time, shall we?"

i dont wanna sound hateful but i literally blocked half the fandom bc a lot of them doesnt tag properly? like im so sorry i dont wanna read abt your undying love confession abt a character when its not fanfic related
HAHA yeah a lot of people use the tags to "reach a bigger audience" as if others won't block them on sight for posting whatever in those tags. i've personally blocked a lot of people too because of that exact same scenario happening too many times.

*head in hands* i don't make a lot of posts, but please, stop clogging the tags with unrelated non-fics. i don't care if your ask has something to do with smut or angst, if it's not art or a fic it doesn't belong there. you know who you are. 👍

oh, the horror!
↬ Summary: Watching a horror movie before sleeping is always, always a bad idea. Good thing you have someone else to suffer with you (or maybe not.)
↬ Tags: fluff
↬ Characters: Ace Trappola, Cater Diamond
↬ Note: i’ve recovered well enough to start writing again, but i’ll still rest a lot and not accept requests yet. and dear lord, cater’s part is longer than ace’s. i’m so sorry ace.
Ace Trappola
↬ Ace does not find horror movies scary. Seriously, you live with ghosts that could sneak up on you any moment, but movies about them are where you draw the line? He teases you before and after accepting your offer to watch a movie with him, asking if you need someone to hide behind when the ghost is on screen.
↬ However, the amount of effort put in the movie starts to pay off in the middle of the movie. Ace’s quips and laughs become shakier as the lighting gets darker and the music shifts into something more haunting. Then he slides closer to you, sharing the pillow with you before the ghost comes out of nowhere. The two of you scream, and one of your voices is suspiciously higher than the other.
↬ “Back off, Ace, this is my pillow! I thought you weren’t scared?” you say as you duck behind it to shield your eyes from another jumpscare. He hides at the last minute, his forehead bumping with yours as he seeks refuge from the movie. Someone in the movie screams and distracts you, and he takes it as an opportunity to steal the pillow from you.
↬ “Ha, this is mine now!” he teases before leaning on the opposite end of the couch. The music in the movie starts to get tense, and you’re left to fend for yourself without the pillow. Ace sticks his tongue out at you. “So are you going to hide—gaaah!”
↬ Just as the music reaches its peak, one of the Ramshackle ghosts sneaks up on Ace and passes right through him. A high-pitched scream escapes from him as he quite literally jumps onto you, clambering to your end of the couch with the pillow as a shield. The ghosts laugh as both of you cling to each other, trembling in fear. It takes a few moments before the two of you settle down again. The movie credits are rolling in when you calm down and realize that you don’t even mind the incriminating position you’re in.
↬ “So who’s the scaredy-cat now?” you squint, giggling when he takes a minute to shuffle away from you. Your giggling turns into full-blown laughter, and you wheeze your words out. “You—do you need to sleep with—hah—me tonight? Huh?”
↬ “Shut it!” Ace says before chucking a pillow at you. He’s red in the face, but it doesn’t hinder him from making up a retort. “How about you, huh? Do you need someone to comfort you after screaming like a little kid?”
↬ Right as he yells at you, the door creaks and both of you shriek in surprise. The two of you cling to each other in a tight grip, staring at the unmoving door before glancing towards each other.
↬ Neither of you slept alone that night.
Cater Diamond
↬ Cater doesn't believe in ghosts beyond the normal ones he sees, but he's always up to date with all the new horror movies he can't help but be interested in. He's gotta use all those streaming subscriptions for what they're worth, right? And so, your movie night dates include horror and thriller among other things, even when you watch at midnight.
↬ Now, you, on the other hand, are deathly afraid of ghosts. Never mind the fact that you live with them, but back where you came from, they weren't as tangible as the ones in Twisted Wonderland. You are a scaredy-cat through and through—but that makes watching horror movies with you even way more fun! At least, that's what your boyfriend thinks. You hate him for it, but it's more than worth it when he lets you hide in his arms for 90% of the time.
↬ He loves snapping pictures of you and your cute pout before reassuring you that you won't ever encounter a ghost as scary as the one on screen. The ghosts in Ramshackle may be kind of mean, but at least they won't maim you in the middle of the night. Afterwards, he posts the photos on Magicam with a teasing little remark. Don't worry, he makes sure you're cute in them! (Though he does find you cute in every photo.)
↬ Putting you to sleep isn't so hard, especially when Cater agrees to cuddle with you right after. He’ll tell you about the funny or interesting stuff he saw during that day, or even share some juicy gossip that would definitely distract you. On some days, you don’t even need any talking—just being spooned by him would cause you to fall asleep instantly.
↬ Tonight, though, he’s taking just a little while longer before coming to bed with you. While you’re already in your pajamas, your boyfriend is busy with something about the latest ‘skincare routine’ or something. He did promise he won’t be long, but you can’t help but wonder where he is. Just as you were going to tuck yourself in bed without him, the floorboards creak beneath you and a chill goes down your spine.
↬ “Cater?” you call out for him, your words wobbly as you try your best to not sound scared. There isn’t any response from outside, and the door slightly opens to reveal… nothing. Only pitch black darkness greets you back, and now you’re really, really scared. “Cater, this isn’t funny…”
↬ Silence. Your heart races as you sit up, keeping the blanket wrapped around you like some sort of protection. Seriously, where is Cater? The mirror on the wall is looking a bit too creepy now, and you swear you hear footsteps coming from somewhere you can’t pinpoint. Maybe if you focus on anywhere but the empty void in your doorway, you could just stop worrying…
↬ “Boo.”
↬ A voice whispers in your ear. Your mind doesn’t even decide between fight-or-flight anymore; you grab a pillow and repeatedly whack whoever gave you a heart attack. You only start to hear the small ‘ow!’s and ‘hey!’s when you calm down, yet you still give them one last smack to the face before giving up. As expected, it’s Cater—looking smug yet pained.
↬ “I didn’t know you were that strong!” he teases, but he’s patting his cheeks as though your pillows had done actual damage to him. “So? How did I do? Did Cay-kun’s acting skills amaze you?”
↬ “Go sleep on the couch,” you mutter and roll your eyes when he laughs. The fear that had your heart in a grip before ebbs away as he sidles up to you, wrapping an arm around your waist before he presses a kiss to your forehead. You push him away, albeit weakly, but he doesn’t budge.
↬ “Aww, did I scare you?” he says. You huff and whine, turning away from his affections and wriggling out of his grasp. The farthest side of the bed welcomes you as you settle away from him, bringing the blanket up to your cheek to hide from him. Of course, he follows suit, but you remain steadfast in your endeavor to ignore him.
↬ He makes it up to you with at least fifty kisses, free lunches, and a bunch of pampering afterward. Or maybe even more than that (because earning your forgiveness is never easy.)

hi! just discovered (rediscovered?) your blog and your writings are amazing—the scenarios i’ve read so far are super cute! i’m not here to request, but i am here to ask a question:
i wanted to follow you but i’m not sure if you’re chill with me doing so since most blogs prefer to not have minors or dark-content blogs following them (my age is in my bio btw), which is valid! i just wanna respect others boundaries if they’re set :)
hello! oh my god, i haven't gone on tumblr for a while following my injury, so i'm sorry for seeing this late 😅. first, we all know that minors do not care about the "Minors DNI" tags LOL. i've been in fandoms long enough to be on freaking deviantart looking for hetalia reader-insert lemons. and no, even i did not listen to those 18+ warnings.
so yes, honestly i'm fine with anyone looking at my works (plus you're 17 😭 i was 17 less than a year ago too) as long as they don't come into my space, introduce themselves as minors, and start yelling about what they see. i'm personally a big fan of people minding their own business haha.
thanks for asking! hope you enjoy my works despite my inactivity.

How we feelin about Ruggie around here, Any spicy thoughts to share?
↬ Tags: smut, mdni
↬ Note: i am once again apologizing for how long this took. by the way, i will be updating my rules regarding nsfw, so to anyone interested: please check my rules before requesting nsfw after this!
Ruggie Bucchi
↬ Starting off with a favorite beastmen kink: breeding kink. Ruggie dedicates a portion of the year to fucking into you senseless, keeping the two of you tangled up in the sheets since he literally can't take his hands off you. Expect to be given only small windows of downtime wherein you can catch breaks, then after that, it's back to the bed again. He would fill you up to the brim, keeping your body close to him so nothing leaks out, then redo the process all over again.
↬ And like every other Savanaclaw student, Ruggie is territorial with you. He knows he should share, and he's grown up sharing everything with everyone at home, but he allows himself to be selfish just this once. He likes to mark your skin where it's visible, wrapping a possessive arm around your waist as he presses his lips on your neck.
↬ He's mentioned that he is impatient before, so fucking fully-clothed isn't off the table. He grinds against your ass when no one else is around, uncaring for the fabric separating the two of you. Don't worry, he'll take good care of you later! There's just something about you coming in your clothes, while he barely has it contained. Can't have it staining the fabric, after all.
↬ Ruggie likes both being pampered and pampering you. After a long day's worth of work, there's nothing better than letting you handle things and do all of the work. He's lazy while you top him, but you don't miss the slightest hints of noise he makes when you get too good at pleasing him. The small whines and gasps of your name are addictive, and you just can't get enough.
↬ On the other hand, he'll devour you as though he's been starving for your presence all day long. Sometimes he'll feel more playful and overstimulate you as he lets you cum for the nth time that day, your legs trembling from all that pleasure. Sometimes he'll feel more daring, withholding your orgasm from you until you cry and beg for him to let you cum. Either scenario is equally enjoyable for him.
↬ He would swipe your underwear during the times he'd offer to do your laundry. There's nothing better than the scent of your fresh musk, the fabric drenched in it as he wraps it around his cock. You never know about it—he is doing laundry—but he doesn't oppose the idea of him being caught. He'd love to see your reaction to the stains he leaves behind.
Your back is up against the wall, top unbuttoned and leaving your body bare for Ruggie to mark. You wouldn’t have minded if the two of you were in a more inconspicuous location, but the low rumble of the washing machine and the bustle of the students outside are more than enough to remind you of where you are right now. To be fair, laundry day is different for everyone, and yet you can’t help but to look at the door every so often. The two of you are in plain sight. One wrong sound and you will be exposed for the dorm to see.
“Ruggie, we need to—mm—stop…” you murmur, right before you bite onto his shoulder to muffle a whimper. His thigh is pressed against your sex, teasing you as he leaves another bite on your chest. There are indents left on where he has bitten you. A little more deeper and he would have pierced skin.
But the only indications that he has heard you are the twitch of his ears, and the shit-eating grin he flashes you before speaking. “But we’ve barely even started,” he pouts. One roll of his thigh against you has you gone again, lips pressed together to stifle a moan. “And you’re so mouth-watering like this.”
You swear you can hear a beep coming from the machine, and you know you should remind Ruggie of what the two of you are here for. But everything blanks when he captures your lips in a messy, sloppy kiss again, and suddenly, it’s just the two of you in your own little world again.

Could you reblog this? I think it should get more attention, since some people really need to read this
https://kageyuji.tumblr.com/post/656465656977506304/is-your-reader-actually-gn
done !! i think i'll add another tidbit i'll do is that i try to not describe blushing/being red in the face because i heard that only people with light/lightly tanned skin can noticeably blush. just another tip for people aiming to write ambiguous (Y/N)s out there haha.
i'm not trying to virtue signal about how writing ambiguous readers are better, though!! fanfic writers are literally doing this for free, so if they want to write a super blushy afab reader getting kissed by their faves, who's going to stop them? 😅 but i'm still learning how to write gn reader so thank you for the tip, anon!

is your reader actually gn?
i keep seeing things in fics that imply that the reader is female, despite the fact that it’s labeled as gender neutral. with that said, here’s a list of those things so you can be aware of them :)
be sure you’re making it gender neutral, not male or female. say ‘they’ instead of ‘he/she’, or ‘partner’ instead of ‘boy/girlfriend’. otherwise, you’re only inclusive to people who use he/him or she/her pronouns.
(side note: i use he/they, but it still makes me uncomfortable to read the ‘she’ right beside the ‘he’)
there’s a difference between afab and fem reader; afab means assigned female at birth, implying that the reader may not identify as a girl anymore but they have female anatomy (like in pregnancy fics, etc). if you have a female reader, label it fem!reader, not afab. you aren’t technically incorrect, but it’s misleading.
similarly, s/o is a neutral term and implies that the reader doesn’t have a specified gender. it’s okay to put fem!s/o, but a female reader is not the default if the gender isn’t specified
that also means that if it’s afab/amab, everything has to be gender neutral, not just the pronouns. don’t call the reader a woman or something, call it gender neutral because the pronouns are they/them, and then excuse it by saying that the reader is afab.
in jealousy fics or ones similar to them, the words “other girls” sometimes come up. the use of “other” implies that the reader is a girl as well — this can be substituted for “someone else” or “other people”.
don’t specify that the reader is wearing makeup, a skirt, etc. of course, you can wear these whether or not you’re a girl, but dysphoria comes in different ways and (for me, at least) things that are typically feminine can sometimes be a source. you can still do it, but mention it beforehand just to be safe :)
also be mindful of places that would be separated by gender. a masc-aligned reader wouldn’t go to a separate public restroom than a male character, so try to find a different scene if you can.
the slang or whatever has to be neutral too. some people say gendered terms as a joke without meaning anything by it, but it still matters — don’t have anyone refer to the reader as bro, girlie, girl, etc.
generally speaking, you shouldn’t specify anything about the reader’s body. however, don’t mention the reader as petite and small. while height and build don’t determine your gender or sex, those things are usually aligned with females and can be a source of dysphoria
i feel like this goes without saying, but double check pet names. “doll” is technically neutral, but some people can see it as feminine. i’ve also seen people have characters refer to the reader as obvious ones like “princess”, which i don’t think that i have to explain
english is not a gendered language, but english sometimes takes words from gendered languages, so be aware of those (i.e. fiancé and fiancée).
if you’re comparing the reader to something, make sure that thing is gender neutral. i sometimes see the reader referred to as a mom friend, please don’t do that. say parent or something of that nature.
again, i feel like this goes without saying, but i’ve seen people mention before that they write with she/her pronouns and then edit or word replace the pronouns to they/them. please don’t do that, it’s easy to make mistakes or forget to change the pronouns like that (and the grammar is incorrect that way)
this doesn’t really count i suppose? but i’ve seen this before so i wanted to mention it here. if when you’re doing your character list you have them all laid out separately, don’t make all of them gender neutral and then hide a f!reader in the middle. it’s very easy to overlook — make that one bold, put it at the very beginning, or put it in the notes at the top

Do you write for all genders?
personally, i'll only write afab reader for nsfw. i don't really know how to write male reader for nsfw and gn reader will greatly reduce my descriptions haha. but for sfw, i think i'll be fine with writing any.

!! Good day / good night / good afternoon ! can I request Leona, Malleus, Sebek and Floyd where they have a crush on gn!reader but see someone else confess to reader, not knowing that reader rejected that person? :D
suspension of disbelief.
↬ Summary: There is no mistaking a confession when it involves you and someone else who isn't him.
↬ Tags: fluff, misunderstandings
↬ Characters: Leona Kingscholar, Malleus Draconia, Sebek Zigvolt, Floyd Leech
↬ Notes: to be honest, i'm not too knowledgeable about malleus and sebek, so i took this as an opportunity to research! with that being said, i'm sorry if they're out of character. also!! i'll make requests shorter based on the number of characters (,, and uhm,, how motivated i am), so i'd like to apologize if it seems shorter. (also, i feel like some of them wouldn’t even let the confession finish hahaha. sorry if my personal twist got out of hand,,,)
Leona Kingscholar
↬ 'What the hell?' is his first reaction. Leona's definitely not going to allow some lowlife lay their hands on you, even if they had given you something you like. Whatever, he can do that too. He narrows his eyes as he approaches the two of you, his tail flicking in irritation. You don't seem to have an answer yet, holding the gift bag in your arms while you try to come up with an answer.
↬ A tiny, almost non-existent part of him is sick with anxiety for your answer, not that he'd ever admit it. He just doesn't want you traipsing around with someone below your station. Herbivore or not, you should never settle for less than what you deserve. So, instead of waiting for your answer, Leona answers for you with a growl.
↬ "Don't you have anything better to do, freshie?" he snaps at the guy. The poor boy shakes in his position, but he's determined enough to nod at you and say that he's 'waiting for your reply' before running away. Leona wants to retort and say you're never giving one, but your sigh catches his attention first. His ears twitch at the sound, listening for any other indicators that he might have actually made a mistake this time.
↬ "Thanks, Leona. I wasn't exactly sure how to reject him nicely," you say, clutching onto the gift bag as your shoulders sag in relief. You don't savor your peace for longer, staying alert as you ask him, "But, uhm, may I ask why you did that?"
↬ "Tch. He was pissing his pants. Would you really settle for someone like him?" he says as hides his own relief. Maybe he'd have to mark you as his soon, if only to stop the others from swarming around you like flies. Having to protect you from others like this is troublesome enough.
Malleus Draconia
↬ You've invited Malleus to meet you at the botanical garden to "show him the roses you've been growing." Though you haven't had the time to visit his garden at the Valley, you've told him that you're interested in growing some yourself. Today is a special milestone for you, apparently, with the rose bushes having grown into a notable size.
↬ What he doesn’t expect, however, is someone else intruding on your time. He’s mildly irritated by the other boy’s presence, but the bewildered look in your eyes and the bouquet of flowers in your arms are even a bigger cause of concern. Though he’s not too sure of how humans court, he knows what the gift means. Flowers are universal, and though their meanings may vary per culture, he’s not stupid enough to ignore what red roses mean.
↬ Then the boy makes eye contact with Malleus, and the entire atmosphere changes. He stiffens, trembling in his shoes before hastily bowing to you and running away. It happens in a blur, leaving you confused until Malleus himself appears. He eyes the flowers in your arms, running a hand over the petals and raising a scentless stalk to his nose when you don’t stop him.
↬ “Have you accepted his confession?” he asks. The roses are fake, he notes with distaste. The boy had the audacity not only to interrupt what the Dorm Leader deems special between the two of you, but to also give you some cheap imitation. Malleus thinks of his garden at home, and how he’d carefully arrange the flowers into one he thinks you’d like. It’s no secret that he’s fond of you, and so, the thought of you enjoying anything beneath you disturbs him.
↬ But to his surprise—and pleasure—you make an exasperated face and set the bouquet down. “Hah, no,” you say before leading him to the rose bush. As expected, it flourishes under your care, trimmed and devoid of any dead leaves. The roses haven’t bloomed yet, but you make a mental note to save the real roses for the person next to you. “You came before I could tell him no. Thank you for that.”
Sebek Zigvolt
↬ For someone so loud, Sebek can stay quiet when he needs to be. Though his fellow students in Diasomnia are used to his demeanor, there are still factors to be considered. If Malleus were to tell him to quiet down, then he would heed his Young Master’s orders. If he were to be shocked speechless, well… there’s not much he can do there, can he?
↬ The latter option happening is almost rare. Sebek is as opinionated as he is passionate about Malleus, and it would take a lot of effort to surprise him. You’re sure you would’ve been amused by the idea of it happening if you weren’t too busy with another student, clutching onto a heart-shaped box of chocolates with a smile on your face. Sebek is too stunned by your seemingly positive reaction to notice that it’s strained.
↬ He returns to Diasomnia without saying anything about what happened. After all, you had looked happy back there, and interfering in others’ relationships would tarnish the Young Master’s image. He doesn’t think anything of it until you show up with the damned chocolate bar in hand, a worried look on your face as you approach him.
↬ “Sebek!” you call out to him, panting from how quickly you’ve had to walk just to catch up with him. He prepares to greet you in full, perhaps to even congratulate you on your newest relationship, but the words get stuck in his throat as you hold the box to your chest. “Are you okay? Silver said you were being kind of odd for the past few hours.”
↬ “Do not worry about me, human!” he says. An awkward silence stretches between the two of you before he clears his throat. The chocolate mocks him. “Congratulations on your new relationship! While I cannot say that I approve of romance this young, I have seen how happy you—”
↬ “Wait, wait, wait. What are you saying? I’m not dating anyone!”
↬ “—were with… him,” Sebek trails off. This is the second time he’s been caught off-guard, but it’s finally positive and thank Malleus he does not have to tarnish anyone’s name today. He coughs into his hand, attempting to recover as smoothly as you can. “W-Well! I must have misunderstood what I saw, but I applaud how you showed your dedication to your studies by turning that human down.”
↬ You blink, processing his words before bursting out into a fit of giggles. “You actually saw that? Ah. It’s true that I rejected his confession, but I came here for something else,” you say as you offer the box of chocolates to him. “Here! We can share this one since you liked my candy last time.”
↬ Sebek doesn’t really understand what’s the point in all of this outside of you being nice, but he does know that it looks similar from the one he’s seen this morning.
Floyd Leech
↬ Floyd is infamous for his mood swings and intimidating demeanor. If he were to stumble upon this eyesore of a confession in a better mood, then maybe he would’ve given the guy a few more days to live before confronting him. Unfortunately for him, Floyd is feeling particularly irritable today. Seeing you get cornered by some nobody serves to worsen his mood, and he gives the student a few, generous seconds before gripping onto his shoulder.
↬ The boy yelps from the force of Floyd’s grip, but your eyes widen in surprise at the brief respite. You take it as an opportunity to bow your head and apologize before rejecting the boy, and those are the only words Floyd allows the boy to hear before looming over him. “Hey,” he says, voice low and threatening. “What business do you have cornering little Shrimpy like that, huh?”
↬ The boy in his grip stammers, trying to get a reply out without passing out. He’s promptly shoved to the side by the taller man, and he takes that opportunity to escape. The two of you watch as he scurries away, a smirk on Floyd’s face and an amused expression on yours. Maybe if that student hadn’t cornered you (literally), then you would’ve felt an ounce of sympathy for him.
↬ But now that he’s gone, the center of attention shifts to you. Floyd’s mood has taken a turn for the worst, and you’re not exactly sure how to ease it. “What about you, Shrimpy?” he says, positioning himself in the same way the boy was in before. “I saw that you were getting all flustered by him. What were you gonna tell him?”
↬ You think you might be hallucinating, but he doesn’t make any move to hide his jealousy. You feel like you’re in the same position as before, except this time, the close proximity actually has an effect on your heart. The lack of distance between you forces you to look directly at him without any way out. In a final display of defeat, you mumble, “I was going to tell him I liked someone else. Someone like you.”

WHATs your zodiac sign and what chara do you relate to the most?
i'm an aquarius !! as for the character i relate to the most uhhh i feel nervous saying this but its idia 😅 i, too, would rather play games all day and not go out of my room. while i'm not too shy (i think i'm closer to floyd in that aspect!), i think idia would be my spirit animal, except i'm not too good with technology hahaha.
(to be honest, i was thrown off by this question. i kind of expected to not be perceived aside from my works on this account,,,)
