That's what friends are for! (Serge DurandalxAmelia Nile)
Tumblr media
Some Amelia love!
Unedited because I'm lazy
Genre: basically dis a romcom 🤷🏻‍♀️
Summary: You better come get your man; I think he wanna be way more than friends. (Juice by Lizzo)
(Third person point of view)
"I'm tired, Amelia...he'll never feel the same way towards me..." Liz sighs, staring at their shared dorm's ceiling.
The ginger frowns, "Come on; don't say that. I'm sure he likes you. Maybe he's just...I don't know- not ready to confess yet."
"Amelia, he's THE Emperor. All girls like him; why would he go for the clumsy idiot?"
Amelia sighs, "Liz, he makes you clean his desk, doesn't he?"
"Yeah?" She looks back at her roommate in confusion.
"See? He totally likes you!" Amelia beams.
"Amelia, that makes no sense..."
She rolls her eyes, "Liz, you really don't understand men, do you? Think about it. Klaus isn't lazy, so why would he make someone else do his work for him? He's always around when you do it too, right? What do you think he's trying to do?"
"Torment me?"
"No! He's trying to spend time with you! I bet he even tries to start conversations with you."
"I mean...he yells at me a lot if that counts..."
"Hmm.." The ginger brings her her fingers to her chin, pausing to think for a bit. "Well, every guy has a different way to express affection, I guess." She shrugs.
Regardless of how unreasonable Amelia was being, Liz wanted to believe her. "You think so?"
"I know so! You just need to get him to realize he should confess to you."
She sits up to face her friend, "How do I do that?"
A few moments of silence pass before Amelia speaks up, "I have an idea."
Liz perks up in excitement.
"But you won't like it..."
She slumps back once more. "I should just forget about it and move on."
"Liz! How could you just give up on Klaus Goldstein?" Amelia scolds.
"That's the point, Amelia! He's Klaus Goldstein!" The brunette retorts.
Amelia sighs, "I'll help you out. Just leave it all to me."
×××××
"I don't understand how lemonade is supposed to help..." Liz ponders.
"Just do as I say, and you'll see for yourself."
"If you say so..." Still uncertain, the small brunette pushes the door open gently. "Prefect Klaus?"
"Oh, come in, Liz. Klaus is teaching a class at the moment, but you can wait here if you want." A familiar, cheerful voice invites them inside.
Just as the girls had planned, Klaus would still be busy for the next couple of minutes, and Serge was alone in the Prefects' room- the plan would turn out nicely.
Amelia nudges Liz the second they step into the room.
"Oh! We brought you lemonade!" Liz hesitantly approaches Serge, who happily accepts the suspicious drink. Liz hopes she isn't unknowingly poisoning her friend; surely, that couldn't be Amelia's oh so smart plan, right?
A few confused sips in, Serge drops to the floor, smashing the glass of lemonade in the process.
Liz barely manages to save his head from a concussion or worse. "Is that supposed to happen?!" Her head snaps to an equally horrified Amelia; the answer was a clear no.
Amelia rushes to place herself on top of an unconscious Serge, "Serge?! Serge!!" She holds his face in her hands.
"Amelia, what did we give him?" Terrified of what her friend's bizarre instructions had lead to, Liz hopes they could still save Serge (preferably, before Klaus comes back).
"A love potion; I was hoping we could try to get Klaus jealous, so he'd confess to you, but-" She frantically tries to explain before getting cut off by a ray of hope.
Serge moans in pain and confusion. "What's happening?" His eyebrows furrow together.
"Serge?!" The girls exclaim in happiness and relief.
"Oh, Amelia, I'm so happy to lay my eyes on such beauty." He dreamily rubs his face into her hand.
"Uh, er, I- you mean Liz?" Blushing, Amelia retracts her hands and tries to redirect the situation to the original plan.
"Well, Liz is not the one straddling me, is she?" He shoots a cheeky grin at a flustered Amelia.
She fumbles to get off but he grips her thighs, holding her in place.
"I- Serge, what are you doing?!" Liz semi-screeches.
"Mmhm, nothing." A dumb grin remains plastered on his face, as he continues to stare at Amelia.
"S-serge, I- this isn't-" Before Amelia could put together a sentence, someone barges in.
"Hey, I thought I told you- um...what exactly is going on here?" Klaus's irritated tone quickly switches to one of plain confusion and a lil bit of...suspicion? Disgust? Who knows?
"Prefect Klaus!" Amelia quickly pushes herself off of Serge while he was distracted by the interruption.
"That's me; yes." The blond raises his eyebrows, "still waiting for that explanation though." He crosses his arms.
"It's, uh, for a play!" Liz offers.
"A play?" Klaus repeats.
"A play!" Liz nods vigorously, eyeing a very confused Amelia. "Serge and Amelia are playing two lovers, so they were practicing!"
"Is this true?" Klaus stares right at Serge.
He giggles in response, "yes, in fact, we were just about to get to the kissing scene!"
"W-what?!" Amelia blushes furiously.
"What?" Serge blinks innocently.
"N-nothing! I think I have to go!" Amelia tries to escape the weird situation she found herself in, but Serge grips her wrist.
He pushes himself off the ground, "Aww, so soon? We haven't finished practicing the fun parts!" He pouts.
Amelia's face heats up even more; how was that even possible? She didn't know.
This was all going horribly wrong; Liz was the one he was supposed to be after not her!
"M-maybe later..." She frees her hand from his and quickly rushes past Klaus, her face remaining as red as humanly possible.
"Amelia!" Serge calls after her, but she doesn't look back.
Unfortunately for her, Serge soon catches up to her, "Amelia, wait!"
She almost stops, but her embarrassment pushes her to keep going until Serge grabs her by the wrist.
"Okay, okay, maybe I took it a little too far; I'm sorry." His other hand finds the back of his neck, as he gives an apologetic smile to a red faced Amelia.
"I- huh?" She faces him.
"You have to drink the whole thing for a love potion to work, Amelia; I just wanted to mess with the two of you."
"Oh." She responds before it registers in her brain what that actually means.
"Oh." She realizes. Then takes off sprinting.
"Amelia??" Serge is left behind, dumbfounded, "What just happened?"
×××××
"You ran away?!"
"Yes, Liz, I ran away; what else did you expect me to do?!" She groans into her pillow.
"Well, I guess I've done that before too, if I'm being completely honest." Liz chuckles, "but you're gonna have to face him eventually; plus, didn't you kind of have a thing for him anyways?"
"I'm gonna run away. Or fake my death." She groans louder.
"Amelia, come on, it's not that-" a knock on their window interrupts Liz.
Liz pushes herself off the bed and walks towards the window. She pushes the curtains aside and almost falls back in surprise.
"S-serge?" She pushes the window open, and he climbs in.
"Hey, Liz!" He beams, like he didn't just jumpscare the hell out of her.
Amelia moves slowly, pulling the covers over her head, hoping she won't get noticed.
Alas, things don't work that way.
"Hey, Amelia!" She jumps at the mention of her name.
"Hey, Serge..." Amelia slowly uncovers her head to look at the intruder.
"Oh, I just remembered I...have to be somewhere...important!" Liz exits the room, leaving Amelia to face her crush on her own.
"That little-" Amelia mutters.
Sighing, Amelia directs her attention back to Serge. "So, what brings you here?"
"I came to ask you out!"
"Huh?" Her face heats up; she really needs to work on that.
"See you at 7; wear something comfy!" He jumps back out the window casually.
"Hey, I didn't even say yes!" She calls out, but he was already gone. "Is this guy insane?"
She falls back on her bed, "well...guess I'm going on a date tonight..."

Cookies and sleep (Klaus Goldstein AU)
Tumblr media
A/N: literally ever since I saw this ask I’ve been wanting to write it the feeling I get from it is just aahh 💞💞💞
Genre: ?
(Third person point of view)
8:04 AM
“Shit.” The blond mutters, realizing he’d overslept. Yes, indeed, it is his day off, but that doesn’t make it any less busy than a work day..
He practically falls off the bed in an attempt to sprint to the bathroom, silently cursing his phone for the missing alarm all the way.
He skips his morning shower, knowing he’ll come back sweaty and gross in an hour or so after he goes running.
Yes, the perfect time for a run would’ve been around 6 am, but this damned phone decided it was okay to let Klaus have an extra two hours, which he probably needed after staying up late working on a PowerPoint, but still: Klaus wasn’t very thankful. He now has to push all his plans 2 hours back.
Grabbing his phone and earphones along with his jacket, he runs into the street madman style. A very late madman.
The cold air stings his skin like a thousand invisible needles. “Fuck.” He breathes out, attempting to wear his jacket without really slowing down, which he’s almost sure looks absolutely ridiculous, but he doesn’t have time to waste, so if he needs to make a fool out of himself to get things done then so be it.
He eventually reaches the park where he usually goes for a run; it had a huge running track surrounding it, making it both challenging and fun. However, at this moment, Klaus could only view it as challenging, seeing as he’s already panting after all the rush he was in ever since he woke up.
“No time for breaks.” He mutters, forcing himself to push through the exhaustion while continuing to pant like a dog on a hot day.
He passes by another runner who just gives Klaus a sympathetic smile, as she proceeds with her routine, keeping her breathing steady. Klaus wanted to yell that he wasn’t normally this pitiful and that he’s actually fairly athletic, but he didn’t have it in him to even speak, so he just displays a pained smile on his face instead, letting the random stranger think of him as pitiable.
10:23 AM
Klaus sighs. He knows he shouldn’t hold onto the clouds of gloom surrounding him ever since he woke up, but it was very unlike him to be late. In fact, he’s scolded countless people for being late, assuring them this could never be him.
Life is funny like that.
“No one will know. We’ll take it to the grave.” He assures himself, as he reaches for his keys.
His keys.
His keys?
Where are his keys?!
Did he drop them while running? No way; he would’ve known!
Did he even grab them before leaving?
“Fuck me.” Klaus curses.
There’s simply no way for him to open his door from outside except with the keys. He basically locked himself outside.
Elias has a spare key, but calling him would expose an unorderly, late, uncomposed Klaus. A version of him that should never see the light of day.
Klaus is not dramatic about this or anything.
10:37 AM
Klaus wonders if he needs a shower more or hisdignity and pride.
His stomach growls.
Klaus wonders if he needs a shower and food more or his dignity and pride.
He pushes himself off his front porch and circulates his house, sort of like a burglar tryna find his way in.
A miracle.
A thought shone through his misery, possibly saving the day.
Who would’ve known that delaying getting a window’s broken lock fixed would bring such happiness to a perfectionist like him?
Klaus pushes the window open with one swift movement and kicks his leg up, hooking it on the window sill and pulling himself up.
The excitement had erased the dimensions of the window from Klaus’s memory, but he was to be reminded immediately with a loud bang once his head collides with the top if the window.
He grumbles in pain and annoyance but pushes himself inside anyway.
He rubs his head and moans in pain, “Today’s just not my day.” he mumbles.
Klaus drags himself into the hot shower, relieved bythe only relaxing thing he’s experienced this morning.
10:58 AM
Klaus isn’t a fan of brunch, but he was too hungry to complain.
Hey, at least the waffles taste as good as they would’ve at 6 AM. He smiles to himself.
Meow
Klaus stiffens.
Would it be too farfetched to assume Elias came over with his kitten?
The source of the noise reveals itself. Lo and behold it is, in fact, not Elias’s tiny black kitten. Instead, struts in a chubby orange cat that Klaus has never ever seen before.
“Rude.” Klaus mumbles.
The cat meows back as if to object to his insult.
“Come on you invited yourself in! How did you even get in here?” His gaze pans over to the broken window. Aha.
“Well, whatever.” He had no energy left to argue with the entitled feline. He wanted to eat his breakfast and relax.
11:14 AM
“You really shouldn’t be eating so much; you’re already a bit chubbier than you should be.” His fingers lovingly rub the top of the stray’s head, heavily contrasting his words. Thankfully, cats don’t speak human.
Occupied with the tuna, Little Stalker -as Klaus called her- ignores Klaus’s health advice and stuffs her face.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you!” The blonde rolls his eyes, before proceeding to shower the cat with physical affection.
He almost melts when she purrs in response, but no, he must play hard to get.
12:03 PM
“Yes you’re a good girl; you’re the best girl! Good job!” He squeezes the towel-wrapped cat into his arms.
Hmm…how’s 49 mins for hard to get?
At least he found it in him to force her into a bath, right?
The cat hisses at him, clearly unhappy with the progression of events, perhaps reconsidering its choices of houses to break into.
3:45 PM
Klaus groans at the doorbell, willing his sibling (probably) to go away. Not because he didn’t miss him, but simply because he was comfortable in bed. So was Cookie, who’d gotten comfortable on his chest.
He admires his new furry friend, spotted with brown “chocolate chips” that inspired ber new more appropriate name. Alfonse or Elias better have have something worth moving the cat and getting up for.
He sighs and forces himself towards the noise of possibly the third or fourth round of knocks and bell rings.
“Why are you so persistent?” Klaus rolls his eyes.
“I missed you too, Klaus.” Elias pushes past his older brother, tentatively followed by a giggly Alfonse.
Klaus glares at his older brother, scaring him into giving a better performance of totally not finding this funny.
Alfonse isn’t very good at this role.
“W-when did you get a cat?” As confused as Elias is, that doesn’t stop him from pulling the furball into his arms.
“Today. I also didn’t get it; it sort of forced itself onto me, really.” He shrugs.
“Explains a lot” The youngest retorts sarcastically but moves on nonetheless, practically adopting Cookie for the time being.
7:36 PM
“I told you I won’t forget; now leave!”
“Okay, okay, you’re so pushy, jeez.”
Klaus practically shoves his younger brothers out the door.
“See you later; have a safe ride home; bye!” Door slam.
Klaus sigh, resting his back on the front door.
Cookie curiously approaches him, meowing in the process, earning herself a smile from the tall blond.
She rubs her head against his legs, so Klaus gives in and pulls her into his arms. “You’re such a lil manipulator, y'know that?”
Klaus takes his new companion and goes back to his room.
9:49 PM
Cookie buries her face in the crook of a sleeping Klaus’s neck, not very keen on making sure he doesn’t wake up.
Alas, the blond was too far gone to be woken up by the furball.
After all, he’d had a pretty long day.
And even though he’d swear to never be able to sleep except in complete darkness, Klaus was now in deep sleep while the light from the tv screen illuminates his sharp features.
Well, not like that was the only out of character thing to happen today, huh?

Hi!! I love your writings and I would like to ask you something. You know, there's this image that I can't get out of my head since Klaus II was released, is because the new descriptions of Klaus on his new profile. The idea of him trying to live by his own on a new house, making the cleaning, the shopping, losing the keys, trying to cook, and the unfamiliar cat sneaking on his house... Anyway, I would love to see how his new normal day would be, can you please?
Did I take forever to post this? Yes. Am I very sorry? Also yes. But am I finally done? Yesyesyesyes

The cat hisses at him, clearly unhappy with the progression of events, perhaps reconsidering its choices of houses to break into.
3:45 PM
Klaus groans at the doorbell, willing his sibling (probably) to go away. Not because he didn't miss him, but simply because he was comfortable in bed. So was Cookie, who'd gotten comfortable on his chest.
He admires his new furry friend, spotted with brown "chocolate chips" that inspired ber new more appropriate name. Alfonse or Elias better have have something worth moving the cat and getting up for.
He sighs and forces himself towards the noise of possibly the third or fourth round of knocks and bell rings.
"Why are you so persistent?" Klaus rolls his eyes.
"I missed you too, Klaus." Elias pushes past his older brother, tentatively followed by a giggly Alfonse.
Klaus glares at his older brother, scaring him into giving a better performance of totally not finding this funny.
Alfonse isn't very good at this role.
"W-when did you get a cat?" As confused as Elias is, that doesn't stop him from pulling the furball into his arms.
"Today. I also didn't get it; it sort of forced itself onto me, really." He shrugs.
"Explains a lot" The youngest retorts sarcastically but moves on nonetheless, practically adopting Cookie for the time being.
7:36 PM
"I told you I won't forget; now leave!"
"Okay, okay, you're so pushy, jeez."
Klaus practically shoves his younger brothers out the door.
"See you later; have a safe ride home; bye!" Door slam.
Klaus sigh, resting his back on the front door.
Cookie curiously approaches him, meowing in the process, earning herself a smile from the tall blond.
She rubs her head against his legs, so Klaus gives in and pulls her into his arms. "You're such a lil manipulator, y'know that?"
Klaus takes his new companion and goes back to his room.
9:49 PM
Cookie buries her face in the crook of a sleeping Klaus's neck, not very keen on making sure he doesn't wake up.
Alas, the blond was too far gone to be woken up by the furball.
After all, he'd had a pretty long day.
And even though he'd swear to never be able to sleep except in complete darkness, Klaus was now in deep sleep while the light from the tv screen illuminates his sharp features.
Well, not like that was the only out of character thing to happen today, huh?

Crime and Tea (SigurdxReader AU)
Hii I’m alive-ish lmao
genre: murder mystery, romance, comedy
“I hope you enjoy your stay, my lady.” Her butler bows slightly.
“I can already tell I’ll love it here; it’s so cozy!” Her eyes fail to commit to a single spot for longer than a second, excited to take in every detail of the small room.
“It’s rather humble in comparison to what you’ve grown used to, but since the train is the only way to the kingdom of light, this was the best I could find. My apologies.” He bows once more.
Her eyebrows furrow, but before any light hearted response could escape her, she realizes the reason for Sigurd’s elevated formality. The door to her room is still open, and there were innocent passersby and gossiping eavesdroppers alike. All are within earshot and are equally likely to assume a suspicious relationship between her and her butler.
She clears her throat, “I suppose this will do. You’re dismissed.”
Sigurd manages a small smile -one she happily returns- then bows and exists her room, not forgetting to slide her door shut.
(Y/N) huffs. She knows being so close to the royal family comes at a price, and it was worth it for the most part, but sometimes she wished she didn’t have to try so hard not to be the topic of interest amongst people, especially not because of such ‘scandal’. Sometimes she just wanted to spend time with Sigurd without it being ‘wrong’.
“Well, there’s always tea time, I suppose.” She smiles to herself.
In the meantime, (Y/N) seats herself by the window, patiently waiting for the scenery before her to change.
Shortly after she began losing interest in the repeating rows of trees rushing past the window, she hears a soft knock on the door.
“Come in.” She withholds her excitement in case the person behind the door isn’t who she anticipates.
A grin forms on her face at the sight of the dark haired man. She could tell he barely held back a smile too, but he made sure to close the door first, giving them the closest thing to privacy they could get on a train.
“It’s time for your tea break, Miss Queen’s personal detective.” Sigurd grins, “I suppose this could count as a celebratory tea break too.”
“Yes!!” She cheers, partially for her recruitment and partially just for hot tea and hot man. She was indeed a woman of simple needs.
The butler places a cup of hot green tea on the coffee table in front of her, “It’s the one you requested.”
Her face lights up; she clasps the warm cup, eager to take in a brew from a faraway land. She was ready to point out microscopic differences in the aroma and flavor of the tea, and Sigurd was ready to listen.
“Will you join me?”
It may appear as a question, but Sigurd knew this was a request- an order even.
“Anything for you, my lady.” He seats himself opposite to her.
“You know you can just say (Y/N), right? No one can hear us anyway.” The train had been enough of a nuisance to convince her it was impossible for anyone to overhear even if they tried.
“Well, aren’t you my lady even if people aren’t listening?” He gives an almost innocent smile. She knows that fucker did it on purpose.
The tea felt no hotter than her cheeks at the moment. “I- uh, well…”
Sigurd chuckles, “How’s the tea?”
“Oh, the tea!” Relief and excitement lead the way, “The smell is already so relaxing!”
“Indeed, it is.” His words accidentally seemed sarcastic, considering he picks that moment to pour himself some coffee.
She pays him no mind and finally takes her first sip. She takes a few moments to analyze the novel taste, “I love it!”
“Really?” Sigurd encourages a more detailed answer.
“It’s very different from what I’m used to; it doesn’t even taste like green tea, but it’s good.” She takes another sip.
“I wonder if it’s a mistranslation…” Sigurd takes a sip of his coffee.
“Hmm…I suppose it could be.” She ponders for a moment then shrugs, “You should try it anyway; it’s good.”
(Y/N) slides the cup towards him, and he gently picks up the ceramic floral cup almost like gripping it too much would break it. Well, the contrast between the size of the cup and the size of his hands made it very feasible.
She catches herself smiling at the thought and immediately tries to bring her attention back to the tea; the blush creeping up on her is obviously nonexistent, and she won’t acknowledge it.
“It really does taste nice. The flavor isn’t as bitter as usual green tea, which I like.”
“Don’t you like coffee?”
“Well, coffee makes bitterness taste better than green tea does; sue me.” He flicks his wrist dismissively.
She giggles, “I think you’re just biased.”
“Me? I’m never biased.”
“That’s a lie.” She smirks.
He observes her features for a few seconds before choosing violence. Or choosing to embarrass her- same thing, really.
“You’re right. I am biased sometimes- mostly when it comes to a certain person.” He waits for the flustered expression he adores so much.
There it is. He doesn’t prevent the smugness from showing on his face.
“You sound especially flirty today.” She mumbles, avoiding eye contact.
“Hmm?” She isn’t about to repeat herself, but he chooses to play dumb still.
“Nothing.” She sips her tea, “I heard Prince Caesar’s wedding was called off.”
As innocent as the statement sounds, Sigurd has gotten used to her subtle ways of asking for more information. Gossip is an integral part of tea breaks, after all.
His smile widens, “It was.”
She traces the rim of the now empty cup, “Why’s that?”
A sly aura surrounds the handsome man before her, as he leans in closer. His voice quieter than a whisper, he warns, “You’ve merely heard of this from the talk around town, and it’s not from a reliable source…”
“I’ve only heard of the wedding cancellation; that’s all I know.” Smiling, she assures her butler he won’t be getting executed for spreading this private information outside the palace. Well, not because of her at least.
She shudders at the image of Sigurd’s head rolling away from the guillotine for sharing the palace’s secrets, but she anticipates his next statement anyway.
“Good girl.” He whispers.
She instinctively pulls away from him, blushing furiously. The implications behind the simple words were glaringly obvious to her, yet he maintained the calm, innocent smile. Was she the one misinterpreting his signals? No, he’s certainly messing with her on purpose.
“Well, if you stay all the way over there, people might hear, and this is top secret.” He beckons for her to come closer to him; she hesitantly complies.
“The wedding was called off simply because…” Sigurd pauses for dramatic effect, as he does, “the groom wasn’t there.”
“What?!” She gasps, pulling away from him in shock, “Is he missing? Are they searching for him?”
Sigurd smirks. This is one of the main reasons he loves bringing her all the gossip: her reactions. He enjoys all her cute expressions and shocked remarks.
“Well, not exactly.” He pulls her by her arm, bringing his lips back to her ear, “Prince Caesar wasn’t kidnapped; rather, he was robbed.”
“Robbed?” She furrows her eyebrows, her head tilted towards Sigurd as if the answer would be written on his face.
“Of his heart, yes.” He pouts, pressing a palm to his chest.
Her eyes widen, “He was having an affai-”
Sigurd’s hand flies over her mouth, “Ssshh! You’re too loud!” he lets out a light laugh.
Just when she thought that was the most shocking part, Sigurd leans back in with the rest of his story.
“So, on the night before the wedding, he took off with his lover- who, by the way, is suspected to be a lowborn, but no one is fully sure of his identity yet.” Sigurd spills the rest of the details, “And that’s why the wedding had to be called off, but since the king and queen are ashamed their son took off with a lower class man, they don’t know if they’ll even call for an investigation to try to find him. I doubt the prince would come back on his own either.”
Her hand remains covering her gaping mouth, “Is this really the right time to visit the queen?”
“Well, they haven’t retracted their invitation, soo… would be a bit rude not to show up.” He shrugs, “Plus, at least we’ll go to the festival you wanted to visit for a while now.”
“You’re right; I can’t wait.” Her attention temporarily shifted from Prince Caesar; however, she couldn’t help but wonder how he’s doing. She’s never met him before, but she heard he’s a kind soul. “Still, I hope the prince is safe and happy with his lover.” She sighs.
“I trust the prince has a good survival plan.” He smiles reassuringly.
She opens her mouth to respond, but loud screams freeze time for a few seconds, as they try to make sense of it. “What was that?” she croaks.
“I- I don’t know.” His troubled expression fails to ease her nerves.
“We have to check.” She rushes towards the door, but Sigurd grips her arm.
“Stay behind me.” His pleading eyes bore into her, “Please.”
She doesn’t argue; she wanted to get to the source of the screams as soon as possible, even if it meant she doesn’t insist she can safely lead the way, and that she’s capable of taking care of herself. It wasn’t the time.
He takes a deep breath before carefully sliding the door open. He peeks outside, making sure it’s safe for them to walk out. “Stay close.” He instructs.
She almost pushes past him impatiently, but she forces herself to nod and match Sigurd’s -too slow for her liking- pace.
“Sigurd, you’re too slow.” She hisses.
“I’m sorry I don’t want us to be ambushed.” He retorts.
“Do you wanna make it to the front page for being the rudest butler?”
“I won’t let the fame get to my head; don’t you worry.”
She was once again interrupted before mustering a reply. “Wait.” Sigurd’s arm barricades the path to the next cart, aka the source of the screams.
“What is it?” She stands on the tip of her toes, trying to take a peek past his shoulders.
“A body.” He slowly allows her through.
“A…body..?” Her eyes frantically scan the scene in front of her.
“Everyone move out the way; this is an order.” She whips out her badge, showing it the circle of people who slowly make way for her.
The newly promoted detective squats down next to the body, silently cursing this new position that lead her to a murder case in less than a day.
Something catches her attention, and she tugs on the unconscious man’s unbuttoned collar, revealing bruises around his neck. “He was strangled…” She states.
“None of you saw anything?” She turns to face the crowd, only now noticing a bunch of familiar faces among them.
“The lights went out; no one could see anything.” One of said familiar faces speaks quietly.
“Gu- Er..Sir Brighton,” The formality tasted weird in her mouth, since the two were close friends, but she pushes through, “the lights seemed to be fine in my room; was it only this cart?”
“Seems like it.”
Another joins in, “My room was fine too. It seems the murderer knew what they were doing.” Luca, one of the very known noblemen, walks closer to the body casually. She saw through his cool attitude; this man is thrilled to be witnessing a murder. She cringes.
“He could still be alive.” A blonde man steps closer, “Can I check?”
The man is certainly a Goldstein, but she couldn’t quite tell which of the brothers. Regardless, they’re all well versed in medicine, so she had no problem trusting any of them.
“Yes, please.” Her next step had been finding a doctor for that exact reason, but the doctor seemed to find her first.
“I’m sorry, Miss Hart, but I don’t think he made it…” The blonde apologizes and steps back, a grim look on his face.
“Took you no time at all, Goldstein.” Luca interjects, “Almost like you already knew he’s dead.”
There was no point in considering the possibility; Luca Orlem’s hobbies consist mainly of flattering and disturbing anything that breathes- that includes accusing his friend of murder for fun of course.
On the bright side, she now knows which Goldstein this is (by relying on Sigurd’s description of their relationship)
“Shut up, Orlem.” Elias mutters.
“Well, he’s not entirely wrong; everyone here is a suspect.” A man spoke, “Even you, Miss Hart.” It may have been disgust or just distrust, but the way he spoke brought everyone at least some discomfort. But he was right.
“You’re right.” She replies quietly, glancing at her butler near the door. He’s the only one, apart from herself of course, that she could confirm wasn’t near the body when it happened.
Her train of thoughts was cut off when she noticed he was frantically trying to tell her something.
Azusa Kuze!!, Sigurd mouths while aggressively pointing at the man.
Azusa Kuze?! Her eyes widen. Did the case just solve itself by this man’s presence? No, she’s a professional. She won’t make assumptions; he may be a very shady individual with a couple of accusations pointing right at him to no avail, but that doesn’t make him the murderer. Not yet at least.
She will, however, keep her eye on him.
She mouths a thank you to her butler before redirecting her attention to the body.
“Nobody touch or move the body.” She orders, “Anyone that does as much as come near the body will be convicted for tampering with evidence.”
She stands up, “As Mr. Kuze stated previously, everyone here is a suspect; therefore, for your own safety, don’t put too much trust in your surroundings and avoid being isolated from the crowds. I’ll send someone to guard the electric-”
Her heart drops.
The lights went out before she could send someone to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Fear spread like wildfire: screams and rushing footsteps (loud enough to cover up another murder) took over the cart.
“Stop! everybody stay quiet and stay still!” She yells sternly, but no matter how many times she yells for them to quit making it easy for the culprit, her voice was drowned out by all the fearful passengers.
It couldn’t have been longer than like 30 seconds, but the desperation and fear stretched these seconds to minutes, and in her mind, this was enough time for more victims or even an escape- what is she gonna do?! She might as well just bury herself alive right this second and be forever remembered as the failure of a detective she is.
The light coming back almost suffocated her; she wanted to feel relieved, but she was scared to see the aftermath of her incompetence.
Nervously, she begins scanning the now awfully quiet cart; everyone is collectively holding their breath, searching for the new body.
“Everyone’s alive…?” Uncertainty kept her voice a whisper.
“Seems like it.” Guy responds.
She almost lets out a sigh of relief.
Almost.
“Where’s the body?” A man bursts into the cart.
“Zeus, can we not do this?” A dark haired man follows behind.
She recognized the two problems approaching her, but a bigger, far more serious problem stuck out like a sore thumb. Where is the body?
Her eyes scan the crowd circling her for the missing culprit, but everyone was right there- Azusa Kuze included. It wasn’t enough time for someone to leave the cart, hide the body, and come back; this served as proof there may be more than one criminal on board after all.
“Mr. Curtis, please go make sure nobody manages to mess with the power again- quick before they do it again.” She orders, “No one else enters or leaves this cart; this includes you Mr. Brundle and, of course, your butler.”
Sigurd bows before exiting the cart.
“You can’t tell me what to do!” Zeus steps forward.
She raises her badge, “As a matter of fact, I can. Unless you’d like to be the main suspect on a murder case.”
“Main suspect?! I wasn’t even here for it!”
“Do you have any proof?” She raises an eyebrow and awaits his response or rather the lack thereof.
“Hiro was with me; we were at the bar.” He crosses his arm, “And I’d like to go back, since there is no body after all.”
His butler rolls his eyes, “You’ll get us beheaded, Brundle; let’s just wait till this is over.” He drags Zeus to the side.
“No- I don’t- ugh- fine.” Everyone watches as Zeus slowly gives in.
Nada turns around to face the other side, “Now…I wanna hear everybody’s alibi.”
She points to the person on her far right, “You. Where were you before and during the power outage?”
He wasn’t someone she recognizes, and she wished Sigurd was here to help guide her with his unending knowledge of everybody’s backstory, but here she was anyway.
“Just…sitting here…” The man spoke quietly.
Right. It’s a train; everyone can just say that. What was she expecting?
“Did you notice anyone suspicious?”
His eyes- well, eye, technically, considering the other was covered by an eye patch- shift towards Luca, “No…” He mumbles, looking back at the detective.
His hesitation hadn’t escaped her.
“Are you sure?”
He nods.
“Well, did you notice any strange behavior by Mr…” she trails off.
“Qing. Mr. Qing.” Azusa finishes her sentence.
“Yeah, Mr. Qing, did you notice him acting a little strange?”
“I don’t know him, so I suppose not.”
“You claim to have just been sitting there, yet you’ve noticed absolutely nothing in your surroundings.” She knew it was entirely possible, but for now, everyone is a suspect, and she was to treat it that way. Plus, she’d learned it firsthand that people are a lot more likely to throw others under the bus if they think it keeps others from pointing fingers at them.
His stare was the most blank she’d ever seen, “Yes.”
“Can anyone confirm you never left your seat?”
“Yes, I was with Yukiya the whole time.” The Goldstein interjects.
“It wasn’t your turn to speak, Mr. Goldstein.”
“Sorry.” His head hangs low.
Her gaze shifts back to Yukiya- his permanently blank stare unchanged.
Her vision slowly pans over to the next suspect. Vincent Knight. He’s a pretty famous merchant; his presence made the most sense to her, since the festival brought all types of buyers and sellers to the kingdom of Light. He’s more likely not the culprit, but she has to be sure.
“Mr. Knight.” She directs his attention to her.
“Miss Hart.” His flirtatious gaze brings color to her cheeks.
She clears her throat, “What were you doing before and during the power outage?”
“I was asleep.” He sheepishly rubs the back of his neck.
“You were also right next to Glenn…” A familiar voice mumbles. Joel Crawford. She knew Joel since childhood, and he wasn’t one to start a fight, so his accusation came as a bit of a shock to her.
“What are you trying to say, kid?” Annoyance displayed itself openly on his features.
“I’m saying you’re too calm for someone whose friend just got murdered.”
“And that makes me a murderer?!” His voice got louder.
“Hey!” She needed to regain control over the situation, “No one is accusing anyone; we’re all on the same team here.”
“I’d say it’s quite the opposite, really. I don’t trust any of you.” Zeus seemed to find this the best moment to share his totally asked for opinion.
“Oh, but you’re so trustworthy.” Azusa replies sarcastically.
“You wanna say that again, fuckface?!” Before Zeus could reach his target, his butler drags him by his arm further away.
Before Azusa could test Zeus’s willingness to cooperate with his butler, there was another power outage.
Fear struck (Y/N)’s heart. Is Sigurd okay? Did the murderer(s) get to him?
No, she has to focus- keep everyone safe. Sigurd will be fine.
However, even more so than last time, screams and footsteps cover up the sound of all possible crimes, and nothing she says changes anything.
Her eyes water helplessly. Someone is gonna die, and she can’t stop it.
The light comes back on.
“Vincent!” A woman screams.
(Y/N)’s heart felt heavy in her chest. She failed to save another person, and unless she finds the culprit, there could be more to come.
“Everyone, stay back!” She approaches the body. Why did the method change this time? Why was he stabbed rather than choked to death? Was the murderer trying to be quicker? Were they getting less confident in their abilities? Doesn’t that mean Vincent could still be alive? It hasn’t been long enough for him to bleed to death, but…
Her eyes told a different story. There he was, very much dead.
Still, after silently observing his lifeless face, she turns to the professional, “Mr. Goldstein?”
He nods and rushes to her side.
He eagerly checks for any signs of life, alas, he shakes his head. “We lost him.”
What? This makes no sense.
Maybe Elias was lying.
Did Elias kill them?
Who was his partner in crime? Luca Orlem? Is his dislike for the charismatic nobleman a trick to repel suspicions?
Just then, her eyes fell on an item in Vincent’s open bag.
A fucking flashlight.
If he had a flashlight all this time, why didn’t he use it?
Nada grabs the flashlight. There’s no way he had a working flashlight in his bag, right?
However, with a simple click, a beam of light circles Elias.
Why didn’t he use it? It’s almost like he was trying to get murdered!
Unless…
Nada pulls out a shotgun and aims it at Vincent.
“W-what are you doing?!” His accomplice leaps in front of him.
“Step aside, Goldstein, you’ll get your turn after.”
Luca takes a seemingly hesitant step forward, “But…he’s already dead; why waste a bullet?”
Ha! They’re telling on themselves at this point.
“Step aside, both of you. Unless you wanna get shot.” She warns.
“Please, put the gun down; he’s dead. Why do you wanna shoot him?” Elias pleads.
Nada sighs before forcefully pushing past the two equally guilty men. She was gonna deal with them, but she had to prove her theory first.
“There’s no reason this man would have a flashlight and not use it, unless…” She grabs his hair, lifting his head up to face her.
“Unless…?” Zeus asks.
She presses her gun below his chin. “Unless he doesn’t want the killer to get caught.”
“Why would he help the killer?” Hiro stared at her like she was insane, but so did everyone else.
“Because this is not a murder…this is an escape.” She cocks her gun.
His eyes shoot open, “Please” he breathes out.
She grabs him by his collar, pulling him into a chokehold and turning to face the other two.
“Get down.” She points her gun at Vincent’s head. Luca and Elias comply.
“Miss Hart, please, let me explain.” Elias’s voice was shaky.
Everyone was frozen in place until Zeus seemed to break free from the trance. “Are you guys insane?! Tell her the truth! Now!”
The lights go off.
This time, she was ready. She pushes Vincent to the ground and shines the flashlight at the 3 culprits.
That’s when she saw it. The door to the cart Zeus and his butler came through was opening ever so slowly. Nada aims her gun at the entrance.
Sigurd walks in, holding a cake.
“Oh, dear, what happened?” He chuckles nervously.
“Sigurd?”
The lights come back on.
“Surprise?” Vincent hesitantly pushes himself off the floor, followed by Elias and Luca.
“I- what?”
“Congrats on the recruitment.” Joel punches her shoulder lightly.
“Yeah, we’re all happy for you.” Glenn peeks through the open door with a smile. He’s alive?
“What’s going on?”
“We really got you good, huh?” Zeus laughs.
“Should’ve seen your face!” Hiro adds.
“Was this all a prank?”
“Damn, you really are slow; let’s eat cake!” Zeus approaches Sigurd.
~~~
“I still can’t believe you planned all of this.” Nada sheepishly takes a bite out of her cake, “I really thought people were dying; I thought you died!”
Sigurd chuckles. “Worry not, my lady,” He brings her hand to his lips, “I’ll always be here by your side.”
“I- of course you will! It’s your job!” She pulls her hand back in embarrassment.
“Yes, yes, it is.” He smirks, “But, I wanna be by your side in other ways too.”
“What ways?”
Sigurd leans into her, his hot breath on her neck, “I’ll show you when we get to the hotel; how about it, hmm?”
“I- yes, sounds good!” She pushes him away shyly.
Yet on the inside, she couldn’t wait to get to that hotel…

Crime and Tea (SigurdxReader AU)

As innocent as the statement sounds, Sigurd has gotten used to her subtle ways of asking for more information. Gossip is an integral part of tea breaks, after all.
His smile widens, “It was.”
She traces the rim of the now empty cup, “Why’s that?”
A sly aura surrounds the handsome man before her, as he leans in closer. His voice quieter than a whisper, he warns, “You’ve merely heard of this from the talk around town, and it’s not from a reliable source…”
“I’ve only heard of the wedding cancellation; that’s all I know.” Smiling, she assures her butler he won’t be getting executed for spreading this private information outside the palace. Well, not because of her at least.
She shudders at the image of Sigurd’s head rolling away from the guillotine for sharing the palace’s secrets, but she anticipates his next statement anyway.
“Good girl.” He whispers.
She instinctively pulls away from him, blushing furiously. The implications behind the simple words were glaringly obvious to her, yet he maintained the calm, innocent smile. Was she the one misinterpreting his signals? No, he’s certainly messing with her on purpose.
“Well, if you stay all the way over there, people might hear, and this is top secret.” He beckons for her to come closer to him; she hesitantly complies.
“The wedding was called off simply because…” Sigurd pauses for dramatic effect, as he does, “the groom wasn’t there.”
“What?!” She gasps, pulling away from him in shock, “Is he missing? Are they searching for him?”
Sigurd smirks. This is one of the main reasons he loves bringing her all the gossip: her reactions. He enjoys all her cute expressions and shocked remarks.
“Well, not exactly.” He pulls her by her arm, bringing his lips back to her ear, “Prince Caesar wasn’t kidnapped; rather, he was robbed.”
“Robbed?” She furrows her eyebrows, her head tilted towards Sigurd as if the answer would be written on his face.
“Of his heart, yes.” He pouts, pressing a palm to his chest.
Her eyes widen, “He was having an affai-”
Sigurd’s hand flies over her mouth, “Ssshh! You’re too loud!” he lets out a light laugh.
Just when she thought that was the most shocking part, Sigurd leans back in with the rest of his story.
“So, on the night before the wedding, he took off with his lover- who, by the way, is suspected to be a lowborn, but no one is fully sure of his identity yet.” Sigurd spills the rest of the details, “And that’s why the wedding had to be called off, but since the king and queen are ashamed their son took off with a lower class man, they don’t know if they’ll even call for an investigation to try to find him. I doubt the prince would come back on his own either.”
Her hand remains covering her gaping mouth, “Is this really the right time to visit the queen?”
“Well, they haven’t retracted their invitation, soo… would be a bit rude not to show up.” He shrugs, “Plus, at least we’ll go to the festival you wanted to visit for a while now.”
“You’re right; I can’t wait.” Her attention temporarily shifted from Prince Caesar; however, she couldn’t help but wonder how he’s doing. She’s never met him before, but she heard he’s a kind soul. “Still, I hope the prince is safe and happy with his lover.” She sighs.
“I trust the prince has a good survival plan.” He smiles reassuringly.
She opens her mouth to respond, but loud screams freeze time for a few seconds, as they try to make sense of it. “What was that?” she croaks.
“I- I don’t know.” His troubled expression fails to ease her nerves.
“We have to check.” She rushes towards the door, but Sigurd grips her arm.
“Stay behind me.” His pleading eyes bore into her, “Please.”
She doesn’t argue; she wanted to get to the source of the screams as soon as possible, even if it meant she doesn’t insist she can safely lead the way, and that she’s capable of taking care of herself. It wasn’t the time.
He takes a deep breath before carefully sliding the door open. He peeks outside, making sure it’s safe for them to walk out. “Stay close.” He instructs.
She almost pushes past him impatiently, but she forces herself to nod and match Sigurd’s -too slow for her liking- pace.
“Sigurd, you’re too slow.” She hisses.
“I’m sorry I don’t want us to be ambushed.” He retorts.
“Do you wanna make it to the front page for being the rudest butler?”
“I won’t let the fame get to my head; don’t you worry.”
She was once again interrupted before mustering a reply. “Wait.” Sigurd’s arm barricades the path to the next cart, aka the source of the screams.
“What is it?” She stands on the tip of her toes, trying to take a peek past his shoulders.
“A body.” He slowly allows her through.
“A…body..?” Her eyes frantically scan the scene in front of her.
“Everyone move out the way; this is an order.” She whips out her badge, showing it the circle of people who slowly make way for her.
The newly promoted detective squats down next to the body, silently cursing this new position that lead her to a murder case in less than a day.
Something catches her attention, and she tugs on the unconscious man’s unbuttoned collar, revealing bruises around his neck. “He was strangled…” She states.
“None of you saw anything?” She turns to face the crowd, only now noticing a bunch of familiar faces among them.
“The lights went out; no one could see anything.” One of said familiar faces speaks quietly.
“Gu- Er..Sir Brighton,” The formality tasted weird in her mouth, since the two were close friends, but she pushes through, “the lights seemed to be fine in my room; was it only this cart?”
“Seems like it.”
Another joins in, “My room was fine too. It seems the murderer knew what they were doing.” Luca, one of the very known noblemen, walks closer to the body casually. She saw through his cool attitude; this man is thrilled to be witnessing a murder. She cringes.
“He could still be alive.” A blonde man steps closer, “Can I check?”
The man is certainly a Goldstein, but she couldn’t quite tell which of the brothers. Regardless, they’re all well versed in medicine, so she had no problem trusting any of them.
“Yes, please.” Her next step had been finding a doctor for that exact reason, but the doctor seemed to find her first.
“I’m sorry, Miss Hart, but I don’t think he made it…” The blonde apologizes and steps back, a grim look on his face.
“Took you no time at all, Goldstein.” Luca interjects, “Almost like you already knew he’s dead.”
There was no point in considering the possibility; Luca Orlem’s hobbies consist mainly of flattering and disturbing anything that breathes- that includes accusing his friend of murder for fun of course.
On the bright side, she now knows which Goldstein this is (by relying on Sigurd’s description of their relationship)
“Shut up, Orlem.” Elias mutters.
“Well, he’s not entirely wrong; everyone here is a suspect.” A man spoke, “Even you, Miss Hart.” It may have been disgust or just distrust, but the way he spoke brought everyone at least some discomfort. But he was right.
“You’re right.” She replies quietly, glancing at her butler near the door. He’s the only one, apart from herself of course, that she could confirm wasn’t near the body when it happened.
Her train of thoughts was cut off when she noticed he was frantically trying to tell her something.
Azusa Kuze!!, Sigurd mouths while aggressively pointing at the man.
Azusa Kuze?! Her eyes widen. Did the case just solve itself by this man’s presence? No, she’s a professional. She won’t make assumptions; he may be a very shady individual with a couple of accusations pointing right at him to no avail, but that doesn’t make him the murderer. Not yet at least.
She will, however, keep her eye on him.
She mouths a thank you to her butler before redirecting her attention to the body.
“Nobody touch or move the body.” She orders, “Anyone that does as much as come near the body will be convicted for tampering with evidence.”
She stands up, “As Mr. Kuze stated previously, everyone here is a suspect; therefore, for your own safety, don’t put too much trust in your surroundings and avoid being isolated from the crowds. I’ll send someone to guard the electric-”
Her heart drops.
The lights went out before she could send someone to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Fear spread like wildfire: screams and rushing footsteps (loud enough to cover up another murder) took over the cart.
“Stop! everybody stay quiet and stay still!” She yells sternly, but no matter how many times she yells for them to quit making it easy for the culprit, her voice was drowned out by all the fearful passengers.
It couldn’t have been longer than like 30 seconds, but the desperation and fear stretched these seconds to minutes, and in her mind, this was enough time for more victims or even an escape- what is she gonna do?! She might as well just bury herself alive right this second and be forever remembered as the failure of a detective she is.
The light coming back almost suffocated her; she wanted to feel relieved, but she was scared to see the aftermath of her incompetence.
Nervously, she begins scanning the now awfully quiet cart; everyone is collectively holding their breath, searching for the new body.
“Everyone’s alive…?” Uncertainty kept her voice a whisper.
“Seems like it.” Guy responds.
She almost lets out a sigh of relief.
Almost.
“Where’s the body?” A man bursts into the cart.
“Zeus, can we not do this?” A dark haired man follows behind.
She recognized the two problems approaching her, but a bigger, far more serious problem stuck out like a sore thumb. Where is the body?
Her eyes scan the crowd circling her for the missing culprit, but everyone was right there- Azusa Kuze included. It wasn’t enough time for someone to leave the cart, hide the body, and come back; this served as proof there may be more than one criminal on board after all.
“Mr. Curtis, please go make sure nobody manages to mess with the power again- quick before they do it again.” She orders, “No one else enters or leaves this cart; this includes you Mr. Brundle and, of course, your butler.”
Sigurd bows before exiting the cart.
“You can’t tell me what to do!” Zeus steps forward.
She raises her badge, “As a matter of fact, I can. Unless you’d like to be the main suspect on a murder case.”
“Main suspect?! I wasn’t even here for it!”
“Do you have any proof?” She raises an eyebrow and awaits his response or rather the lack thereof.
“Hiro was with me; we were at the bar.” He crosses his arm, “And I’d like to go back, since there is no body after all.”
His butler rolls his eyes, “You’ll get us beheaded, Brundle; let’s just wait till this is over.” He drags Zeus to the side.
“No- I don’t- ugh- fine.” Everyone watches as Zeus slowly gives in.
Nada turns around to face the other side, “Now…I wanna hear everybody’s alibi.”
She points to the person on her far right, “You. Where were you before and during the power outage?”
He wasn’t someone she recognizes, and she wished Sigurd was here to help guide her with his unending knowledge of everybody’s backstory, but here she was anyway.
“Just…sitting here…” The man spoke quietly.
Right. It’s a train; everyone can just say that. What was she expecting?
“Did you notice anyone suspicious?”
His eyes- well, eye, technically, considering the other was covered by an eye patch- shift towards Luca, “No…” He mumbles, looking back at the detective.
His hesitation hadn’t escaped her.
“Are you sure?”
He nods.
“Well, did you notice any strange behavior by Mr…” she trails off.
“Qing. Mr. Qing.” Azusa finishes her sentence.
“Yeah, Mr. Qing, did you notice him acting a little strange?”
“I don’t know him, so I suppose not.”
“You claim to have just been sitting there, yet you’ve noticed absolutely nothing in your surroundings.” She knew it was entirely possible, but for now, everyone is a suspect, and she was to treat it that way. Plus, she’d learned it firsthand that people are a lot more likely to throw others under the bus if they think it keeps others from pointing fingers at them.
His stare was the most blank she’d ever seen, “Yes.”
“Can anyone confirm you never left your seat?”
“Yes, I was with Yukiya the whole time.” The Goldstein interjects.
“It wasn’t your turn to speak, Mr. Goldstein.”
“Sorry.” His head hangs low.
Her gaze shifts back to Yukiya- his permanently blank stare unchanged.
Her vision slowly pans over to the next suspect. Vincent Knight. He’s a pretty famous merchant; his presence made the most sense to her, since the festival brought all types of buyers and sellers to the kingdom of Light. He’s more likely not the culprit, but she has to be sure.
“Mr. Knight.” She directs his attention to her.
“Miss Hart.” His flirtatious gaze brings color to her cheeks.
She clears her throat, “What were you doing before and during the power outage?”
“I was asleep.” He sheepishly rubs the back of his neck.
“You were also right next to Glenn…” A familiar voice mumbles. Joel Crawford. She knew Joel since childhood, and he wasn’t one to start a fight, so his accusation came as a bit of a shock to her.
“What are you trying to say, kid?” Annoyance displayed itself openly on his features.
“I’m saying you’re too calm for someone whose friend just got murdered.”
“And that makes me a murderer?!” His voice got louder.
“Hey!” She needed to regain control over the situation, “No one is accusing anyone; we’re all on the same team here.”
“I’d say it’s quite the opposite, really. I don’t trust any of you.” Zeus seemed to find this the best moment to share his totally asked for opinion.
“Oh, but you’re so trustworthy.” Azusa replies sarcastically.
“You wanna say that again, fuckface?!” Before Zeus could reach his target, his butler drags him by his arm further away.
Before Azusa could test Zeus’s willingness to cooperate with his butler, there was another power outage.
Fear struck (Y/N)’s heart. Is Sigurd okay? Did the murderer(s) get to him?
No, she has to focus- keep everyone safe. Sigurd will be fine.
However, even more so than last time, screams and footsteps cover up the sound of all possible crimes, and nothing she says changes anything.
Her eyes water helplessly. Someone is gonna die, and she can’t stop it.
The light comes back on.
“Vincent!” A woman screams.
(Y/N)’s heart felt heavy in her chest. She failed to save another person, and unless she finds the culprit, there could be more to come.
“Everyone, stay back!” She approaches the body. Why did the method change this time? Why was he stabbed rather than choked to death? Was the murderer trying to be quicker? Were they getting less confident in their abilities? Doesn’t that mean Vincent could still be alive? It hasn’t been long enough for him to bleed to death, but…
Her eyes told a different story. There he was, very much dead.
Still, after silently observing his lifeless face, she turns to the professional, “Mr. Goldstein?”
He nods and rushes to her side.
He eagerly checks for any signs of life, alas, he shakes his head. “We lost him.”
What? This makes no sense.
Maybe Elias was lying.
Did Elias kill them?
Who was his partner in crime? Luca Orlem? Is his dislike for the charismatic nobleman a trick to repel suspicions?
Just then, her eyes fell on an item in Vincent’s open bag.
A fucking flashlight.
If he had a flashlight all this time, why didn’t he use it?
Nada grabs the flashlight. There’s no way he had a working flashlight in his bag, right?
However, with a simple click, a beam of light circles Elias.
Why didn’t he use it? It’s almost like he was trying to get murdered!
Unless…
Nada pulls out a shotgun and aims it at Vincent.
“W-what are you doing?!” His accomplice leaps in front of him.
“Step aside, Goldstein, you’ll get your turn after.”
Luca takes a seemingly hesitant step forward, “But…he’s already dead; why waste a bullet?”
Ha! They’re telling on themselves at this point.
“Step aside, both of you. Unless you wanna get shot.” She warns.
“Please, put the gun down; he’s dead. Why do you wanna shoot him?” Elias pleads.
Nada sighs before forcefully pushing past the two equally guilty men. She was gonna deal with them, but she had to prove her theory first.
“There’s no reason this man would have a flashlight and not use it, unless…” She grabs his hair, lifting his head up to face her.
“Unless…?” Zeus asks.
She presses her gun below his chin. “Unless he doesn’t want the killer to get caught.”
“Why would he help the killer?” Hiro stared at her like she was insane, but so did everyone else.
“Because this is not a murder…this is an escape.” She cocks her gun.
His eyes shoot open, “Please” he breathes out.
She grabs him by his collar, pulling him into a chokehold and turning to face the other two.
“Get down.” She points her gun at Vincent’s head. Luca and Elias comply.
“Miss Hart, please, let me explain.” Elias’s voice was shaky.
Everyone was frozen in place until Zeus seemed to break free from the trance. “Are you guys insane?! Tell her the truth! Now!”
The lights go off.
This time, she was ready. She pushes Vincent to the ground and shines the flashlight at the 3 culprits.
That’s when she saw it. The door to the cart Zeus and his butler came through was opening ever so slowly. Nada aims her gun at the entrance.
Sigurd walks in, holding a cake.
“Oh, dear, what happened?” He chuckles nervously.
“Sigurd?”
The lights come back on.
“Surprise?” Vincent hesitantly pushes himself off the floor, followed by Elias and Luca.
“I- what?”
“Congrats on the recruitment.” Joel punches her shoulder lightly.
“Yeah, we’re all happy for you.” Glenn peeks through the open door with a smile. He’s alive?
“What’s going on?”
“We really got you good, huh?” Zeus laughs.
“Should’ve seen your face!” Hiro adds.
“Was this all a prank?”
“Damn, you really are slow; let’s eat cake!” Zeus approaches Sigurd.
~~~
“I still can’t believe you planned all of this.” Nada sheepishly takes a bite out of her cake, “I really thought people were dying; I thought you died!”
Sigurd chuckles. “Worry not, my lady,” He brings her hand to his lips, “I’ll always be here by your side.”
“I- of course you will! It’s your job!” She pulls her hand back in embarrassment.
“Yes, yes, it is.” He smirks, “But, I wanna be by your side in other ways too.”
“What ways?”
Sigurd leans into her, his hot breath on her neck, “I’ll show you when we get to the hotel; how about it, hmm?”
“I- yes, sounds good!” She pushes him away shyly.
Yet on the inside, she couldn’t wait to get to that hotel…

Together we go. (Werewolf!Caesar Raphael x Reader *AU*)
Tumblr media
Lol it’s never late to request I’m always late to write tho
Requested: 34. “Please don’t do this.” + 45. “I can’t imagine this world without you.” From this prompt list.
Genre: Raw angst 😂💯 happy ending though cuz I’m weak
Strap yourselves in cuz this is dramatic as shit and also I’m lowkey rusty sooooo yeah 😂
(First point of view)
Everytime our eyes meet, my insides twist in guilt. I can barely hold his gaze for longer than a few seconds.
“Can we please get some ice cream first?” Caesar gives me his usual puppy eyes- aka the most effective puppy eyes one could ever encounter. I can almost see his tail wagging behind him in excitement.
I giggle at the cute nature of the scene. “Of course.”
He grins, immediately grabbing my arm and rushing to the ice cream truck. I do my best to keep up with him and not break my face on the asphalt.
It was Caesar’s first time at a theme park, and he was overflowing with happiness to say the least; he genuinely resembled a large puppy. 
Though Caesar always insists that the puppy/dog comparisons I make are only because I knew of his identity, I’m pretty sure it’s way beyond the fact that he’s a werewolf. Caesar just behaves like an oversized puppy, whether he believes it or not.
“Mmhm! It’s so good!” Caesar’s eyes widened at the sweet flavour of his chocolate ice cream. Part of me was worried he’d collapse and I’d have to rush him to the hospital, but from the looks of it, werewolves can apparently eat chocolate. “How’s yours?” He smiled at me. God that smile kills me.
“O-oh, it’s nice!” I took the spoon into my mouth, unnecessarily trying to prove my statement.
His stare lingered, but before I could ask him about it, he sheepishly spills out a question. “Can I..um..can I try it?” He pointed to the paper cup in my hand.
Giggling in awe, I immediately scooped up the ice cream into my plastic spoon. “Sure.” I moved my hand closer to him, expecting him to take the spoon, but instead, he leaned his head closer, taking the spoon into his mouth directly. My cheeks heat up at the small gesture, and I subconsciously start looking around to make sure we haven’t attracted anyone’s attention.
“Oh! It’s really good too! What is this one?” Caesar’s eyes gleam in fascination, as if discovering a whole new world, which in a way he was. He’d already explained how strict the pack is about interacting with humans and their world, hence his isolation from the pack after violating that rule. To be with me. And there I was, refusing to give up my group’s approval.
“(Y/N)? Why do you keep zoning out today? Is something wrong?” His eyebrows furrow in concern, further engraving the guilt onto my heart.
“I’m just a little tired; don’t worry about it.” I do my best to give him a reassuring smile, but I suspect that only made him even more worried. “Come on, let’s get in line for the ferris wheel.” I pull him towards the giant ride.
Caesar stares upwards, “Woah.”
“You’re not scared of heights, are you?” I smile.
“I’ve never been that high before,” he points to the top of the wheel, “but it does look a bit scary.”
“Don’t worry; it’ll be fun.” I take his hand in mine, giving it a small, reassuring squeeze.
By the time we reach the front of the line, we were both done with our ice cream and were just anticipating the ride.
The blond helps you onto the wobbly cabin and climbs inside after you’re seated.
The second the small doors shut behind him, the colourful cabin moves upwards, causing Caesar to lose balance. He screams and drops to the ground, curling into a ball in fear.
I softly place a hand on his shoulder, “Caesar, it’s fine. It…does that.” I chuckle.
His expression softens. Sure enough, he lets me help him off the floor and onto the seat, where he’s finally able to take a look at the view beneath us.
His beautiful green eyes widen in admiration, “It’s not scary at all. It’s very…pretty…just like you.” He turns to smile at me, but I immediately avert my gaze shyly.
He takes my hand in his, “I love being with you; you make me happy.”
The sincere look in his eyes drew me in, and before I knew it, my bottom lip starts quivering. “I- yeah, me too."I gulp, gluing my eyes elsewhere. I could no longer hold his gentle gaze.
Silence follows for a few moments.
Softly taking place beneath my chin, fingertips guide my face towards their owner, ”(Y/N)? Why won’t you look at me?“ His concerned gaze almost burns holes in my face.
I let out a nervous laugh and take his hand in mine, "What do you mean? I’m just enjoying the view. Look; you can see the ocean from here!”
Caesar forces a weak smile, “Yeah, it’s nice.”
________
“(Y/N), are you sure we’re not lost? I can’t hear any cars ahead of us…” After walking through the woods for a bit, Caesar starts getting suspicious about whether we’re actually using a shortcut to the bus station.
Hesitation and guilt take turns abusing my mind and heart. “Y-yes, Caesar. Just keep following me.” I try to control my breathing rate and calm down.
The closer I get to the spot, the heavier my feet feel, the harder it is to push myself forward. “I can’t do this.” I drop to the ground and pull out my pocket knife.
“What do you mea-(Y/N), what the fuck are you doing?!” His statement was cut off by his own terrified yell. He drops to the ground and tries to pull away my weapon.
Having already dug the sharp edge into my forearm, I was disappointed by how difficult it is to actually find the tracking device. “Tracking device, Caesar! They’ll find us; I need to take it out!” I kick the blond away, as I continue to search through my own flesh for the tiny device. The pain was unbearable, but it wouldn’t compare to losing Caesar.
Blood dripped everywhere, making it even harder to see. “Fuck.” I pant.
“It’s not working.” Tears hinder my vision, “Caesar, get out of here! As quick as you can!” The confusion on his face screamed in my face that it’s my fault- all of it. “Please…” my voice cracks.
“No, (Y/N), I’m not going anywhere without you. Who are we running from? What’s wrong? You know you can tell me anything!” He snatches the knife away and stuffs it in his pocket, the blood making a mess of his clothes in the process.
I push him away with my uninjured arm, “There’s no time; please, just leave.” Desperation hung at every word, yet he remained unmoved.
“Get up. We’re leaving together.” He tries to help me up, but I pull my arm away.
“They’ll track us down, Caesar! The device is still in there!” I yell. “Please, I’m begging you; just leave before it’s too late.” I push him again, but he doesn’t budge.
“(Y/N), we either leave together or die together; I’m not going anywhere without you whether you like it or not.” The serious expression on his face is one I’ve never seen on him before; he’s determined and stubborn, and I knew it.
I shake my head, “No, Caesar, you don’t understand; I-”
“Was supposed to kill me, but you felt guilty; I know.” He finished my statement, leaving me in a state of shock and shame.
“How- what? You know?” Realizing his lack of resistance, I fall into more confusion, “Well…why did you follow me here? You didn’t know I’d feel guilty; I could’ve killed you!”
“But you didn’t.” Smirking, he shrugs.
“Caesar, I’m serious…” I stare at him with pleading eyes.
He sighs, “Well, I figured if the person I love the most wants to kill me then that’s it; that’s how I go.”
“You came with me knowing you’ll die?!” I cry.
“Well, I had hope you’d change your mind; I knew the love I’d felt with you wasn’t fake. I felt your love…And well, I dunno about you humans, but wolves don’t go killing wolves they love.” He chuckles. “And if you’d killed me, well, I’d still choose that over escaping. I can’t imagine this world without you.”
“You’re such a dumbass.” I laugh lightly, but my smile drops at the sight of of something hitting Caesar’s neck.
And before I realize what’s happening, He is hyperventilating as he grasps his neck, eyes terrifyingly wide; if I dIdn’t know better, I’d think he was choking himself.
I rip out the tiny needle from his neck in panic, but it doesn’t stop him from gasping for air, drool trickling down his chin uncontrollably. His eyes start to roll back, but he seems to be trying to hold onto what’s left of his conscious mind, “Caesar! Caesar, stay with me!” Sobbing, I begin to shake him violently, but it takes mere moments before he drops to the ground.
The sound of footsteps slowly approaching hammers realization into my terrified brain, “W-why?”
“Girl, he’s not dead yet; he’s temporarily paralyzed.” Kate rolls her eyes, but a warning follows through gritted teeth, “We’re making the killing easier for you, so don’t make this any harder for us.”
“He’s not a monster…” I shake my head, desperately pleading for his life, “He doesn’t even belong to a pack; he’s harmless!”
“Take out your knife, (Y/N).” She warns while the rest of the hunters watch me expectantly.
I look down at Caesar, whose eyes barely held any life in them. No way is he getting up any time soon, and my left arm has already gone limp. We stood no chance. This is it; this is how we die. And it’s all my fault.
More warnings follow, but my eyes spot a tall man hiding nearby; he was clearly watching the conflict unfold.
When our eyes met, he put his index finger to his lips, telling me to keep quiet, which I do. I was gonna die anyway; I have nothing to lose, listening to random forest man.
Smirking at my obedience, he gracefully spreads his hand open in the direction of the hunters.
Within a second, they all drop their weapons to clutch their head in their hands, blocking their ears like they couldn’t stand a very loud sound. A loud sound you can’t hear.
Eventually they all fall to the ground, hands still covering their ears. That’s when the stranger decides to step out of his hiding spot.
He slowly makes his way towards me and Caesar. I don’t know if it’s the blood I’ve lost or the intense gaze of the man, but everything begins spinning before going completely black.

“Did you hear me?! I said shoot him!” Kate screams.
Confusion consumes my every inch, “W-what?”
“Are you deaf?” She holds up her gun, aiming at my head. “Shoot him.”
I slowly turn to look at where she motioned with a slight tilt of her chin. My shaky hands were clutching a gun aimed at a terrified Caesar on the ground. “Caesar?”
“Please, don’t do this.” Trembling, he shakes his head. “I love you. I would never hurt you; you know that.” His teary eyes were hypnotizing; I couldn’t look away for a reason I couldn’t explain. I just stood still- and stared.
“I…I don’t understand…” I lower the gun I knew I didn’t even have on me before.
“Please, I’m begging you.” Caesar pleads.
I observe my surroundings in utter bewilderment. The number of hunters bacame overwhelmingly threatening; I didn’t know there were that many of them. So many faces I couldn’t recognize.
Before I could plan my next move, the sound of a gun shot rips through the air.
My head snaps towards Caesar. His fear-stricken, watery eyes stare back into mine lifelessly. 
My lips quiver, as I scan his body for the wound.
Till I found it where I didn’t expect to.
Hot, thick liquid trickles down my face, blurring my vision in the process. My fingers reach for my forehead, allowing me a chance at comprehending the situation. 
I’d been shot.
As if the realization was my cue, I watch everything spin out of focus till I completely lose consciousness.

I gasp, immediately shooting out of bed, almost slamming my head against the stranger’s.
“Jeez, the potion sure is quick.” The man mumbles to himself.
“Potion?” I wipe my forehead, just to see a gooey, yellow substance dripping off my fingers. It was a dream?
“(Y/N)!” I find myself engulfed into a warm, tight embrace.
“Caesar.” I breathe out in relief, giving into the hug.
“Wait! The tracking device-” Before I could fully push away Caesar, the man speaks up.
“Already planted it on a rat; it’s gone forever.” He gives a smile I could only interpret as him being proud of his own intelligence.
“I don’t know how to thank you…How do I return the favor? Ask me for anything!” 
“It’s a bit funny for you to think I’d need anything from you.” Seemingly offended, the man rolls his eyes and sips his tea.
“He’s a bit…uh…timid?” Caesar whispers to me, hinting he’d already tried to thank the man while I was out of it.
“I already put a healing spell on your arm; there will be no scarring, but I’d rather you keep the bandages for a few more hours.” He glances down at my bandaged arm.
“Thank you…again.” I nod. “A healing spell though…are you a wizard?” My eyebrows furrow in confusion.
The stranger sighs. “Surely you can’t be that dense.”
“I think that’s a yes.” Caesar looks at me in slight uncertainty.
Another sigh. “Azusa Kuze, wizard from Hinomoto, nice to meet you. Anything else you wanna butt into?” He uses a slightly high pitched, cheery voice to ensure we understood he was mocking us.
“Uh, no, we’re good I think.” Caesar chuckles nervously, scratching the back of his head.
“Good.” He diverts his attention to the huge book on his wooden dining table.
“Um, well, I guess we’ll be going now, right, Caesar?” 
“Uh, yes. Thank you again, Mr. Hinomoto Wizard Azusa Kuze.” Caesar bows.
The wizard scowls but shakes his head dismissively “Yeah, um, you’re welcome.”
The second we step outside the small cottage, we both let out breaths we didn’t seem to know we were holding. 
“Well, that was a strange day.” I state.
“Yeah.” Caesar nods. “Wanna get some more ice cream?”
I grin, “You know it.”
