🍓 Riddle Rosehearts
❀ He did not think someone would like him the way he is; he's heard the talk around school, and he knows his reputation. But he didn't really care about what people say about his more superficial personality traits, they were the baseline of knowing him truly. But to see you actually smiling at him chiding, how curious…
❀ Actually having you sit around and just listening to any small remark he made without being scolded about proper manners… well, he might use you as a bit of a shoulder to lean on, and an ear to lend. He's not all business, not all ADeuce this and Floyd that… but he does appreciate a more non-solution based chat to just gripe 
❀ Your very dependable, he likes that. You listen and you train your focus on him, you talk and you're precise in your own way, you make a plan and follow through. He might be projecting his failing expectations of his Heartslybul freshman onto you, because why couldn't you be them? He also might forgive a tardiness once or twice (one's without reason, he doesn't care about them if you have a reason normally).
❀ But never a failing grade. You may or may not be in Heartslybul, but no matter what affiliation you are: you're not failing. Especially not when you're acquaintances with him. Could you not think to ask him for help studying? He's sure he has been nothing but open to you, so hopefully you're not thinking of him poorly. He's not Azul, he won't ask for payment to ensure you don't suffer in school.
❀ Riddle has tough mannerisms and things about him to understand unless your in on his past or at least his emotional state. He might trust you with his past if you are friends for a long time, or even a part of his Overblot rescue team: but he might not be able to fathom having someone to talk to. Trey and Chenya just knew his past because they were a part of it and had many years to adapt with him: please, understand he might not trust you fully just yet. Wait for him.
❀ Riddle is a perfectionist learning not everything needs to be his way, so let him assure you: he prefers your balanced lifestyle over his. He can see how you not only satisfy his needs sometimes (his need for order, his need for structure, his want of sweets if you're in a food run) with your needs (your need for space, your ideas of structure, your preference of snack food). It's much more healthier than just caving to whims, he admits. How charming of you.
🍏 Trey Clover
♧ Trey is the resident middle-grounder and damage control, much less at least 25% of Riddle's impulse control on a good day; he knew you'd flock to him eventually. "Birds of a feather, flock together", the old rhymes say! But alas, it's still nice to have a level-headed person around here, it gets a little tough even if some younger years are adorable and naïve.
♧ Trey is very well informed on all the goings on of Heartslybul and he's always willing to share and guide you through the place if you ask. People not from Heartslybul aren't liable to their rules (unless you're from Heartslybul, then please learn some), but if Trey is caught slacking it's "Off With His Head"! So please, ask any questions you have, it literally can't hurt you to ask. Oh, you actually wanted to know more about him as a person? Why, that's very flattering. What do you want to ask? 
♧ Trey is a busy and very independent person, even Cater can't deny or play that down. So it's nice that you both have your space away from each other, just for you two to meet each other and it still feel fresh to see one another. The campus is large if you include other dorms and other people around, and he hopes you're making other friends and bonds except just him! Trey is usually found in library areas, his dorm (mostly the kitchen), in a lab setting, or the botanical garden: so come by if you haven't seen him in a few days! He might talk your ear off about his siblings or proper hygiene again. 
♧ When arguing or having a disagreement, Trey appreciates your logical stance and factual tones. You and him might not be happy (or there wouldn't be a fight) but he can understand clear and precise emotions being expressed. Don't guilt him, don't criticize, don't judge. He wouldn't even stoop so low himself as to do so either, but will stand up for himself if need be. But here, with you, he's sure you two can talk through this. Attack the problem together, if you may. 
♧ Ah, being dependable! He really needs it (and Cater as well, but this isn't about him) to stay afloat sometimes. You two having something to do together or with a group, and you follow up with him to confirm it? It's nice to hear you care! … Or at least you aren't an ass and say "I'll come if I feel like it" like half the school does. What did he say? Oh, nothing! Next week is great.
♧ Trey is happy you can be authentic with him. He's happy that you drop your guarded expression used for warding off other students around him, it's sorta refreshing. Though, he does get why it took you a while to even do so, being from this school of Villains ready to strike at your jugular (hell, he mirrors your sentiment of wariness). He's just happy you can saddle up next to him to read about whatever caught your fancy, and he can not flinch with you leaning over his shoulder.
🍊 Cater Diamond
♢ Oh sweetie, oh honey… this is a slightly harder but more cuter nut to crack. He's not opening up for just anyone and he's much less likely to care about attempts to get to know him. At first. After perhaps one too many earnest and actual charged responses to actual self-destructive questions… he kinda thinks you're weird in the cool, smart kinda way! Just try keeping your head down for now, he'll see you later!
♢ He hates people seeing the cracks in his mask, but he wouldn't be calling you to vent from a dark, unused room if he was so adverse to it. He likes your honesty and he's happy he called you over anyone else: your stoic and almost non-reaction to his fracturing self-image over the phone does wonders. You want to know what's on his mind? Well…
♢ Learning each other's dislikes is like a walk in the park, especially with one like Cater Diamond. He will tell you what he doesn't like, and he expects to know what you dislike too! "Hi, my name is Cater, and what's your least favorite dinner food?" Joking, joking! He still likes that you share this with him and don't hold it over him, especially with what he had to deal with back home with food… please, just no more sweets…
♢ Cater upset isn't too rare, but the severity is usually the rare part. Miffed, disgruntled, perturbed? Happens often, especially if a spell goes haywire like those Mandrakes. Actually angry, seething, raging? He isn't that kinda guy who goes there often. He also can hit the middle of the road too, and it's sometimes the worst: because his eyes can go cold and he can have this fury like ice. But… well, he's never had to fix you with that glare, because you're always the initiator of separating for a breather. Cater is the silent brooderーand the silent stewer of angerーin Heartslybul, but he'll come around, I promise. 
♢ Hold him accountable please, like you always do. Don't let him worm his way out or butter you up, please hold him accountable for any misgivings he had caused. His sister's never did it back when they were younger (leaving a not-so-small paranoia of broken promises), so he's going to make a big request of you too: you're going to be held accountable too. If you have a flaw that hurts or makes others uncomfortable, he's allowed to call you out on it. And if starts on anyone and you hear him out of line, please go ahead and hold him accountable. Deal, bestie?
♢ Being affirming of him does wonders too, he's a bit of a liar (but you can see what's the truth just by a bit of watching). Cater claims he's going to use this school to network and make the best in life, but his grades are neutral if not a little bad… well, he's not lazy like other's claim, but just not a bright star in academia. You can tell it's probably something personal, so you don't ask just yet: but you do keep an eye on him just in case he needs anything. You know he'll take a handout rather than an offer to help (even though he's emotionally smart enough to see right through you). 
🫐 Deuce Spade
♤ Your so cool, how did he get a friend like you?! Deuce is a straightforward guy, so this is literally the easiest friendship anybody saw coming. It happened mostly because of mutual sympathy for each other's struggles, and how emotionally ready you both are. Please, stay his friend, he enjoys this!
♤ Share information with Deuce, it's how to be get started here. Deuce is a trusting and respectful guy, so he's going to spill his beans first and speak to you about his home life. And he spares no punches, not even for himself; he was an ass to other's, a bully to some, and a problem child for his mother… Please, share some words of sympathy or praise for going straight after that. Share your own experiences, don't let him hog the conversation! Apologies!
♤ He likes self care, he has no idea why. Self care was just this mystic and almost expensive word that made his younger brain swirl with ideas. But now? He knows it's just taking "Me Time" and just destressing however you can, and if a bit of money is spent there then meh. But his form of self care would be venting his frustrations verbally before just doing some grooming he might have missed out on (maybe use that cream Vil told him makes him look nice, or use the bath salts Cater praises)...
♤ Playing fair is paramount to talking and/or conflicting with Deuce. Deuce can get rather upset real fast, but he's not just going to jump to conclusions, he swears! Your fair point of view and cool head stopped him from at least a couple of headbutting incidents, and he values anything you tell him to calm him down. He doesn't care if you use big words sometimes, just try and not overload him while he's already in a bad mood/buzzing near physical violence (only on those that deserve it and won't listen)! 
♤ You called him a "Good Boy" once and now he's just flabbergasted in the good way: he didn't think he needed praise but here he is. He's already gone through his rocky emotional phaseーwhen he was a bullyーand he thought he was emotionally maturing. Tell him it's not childish to like being praised for his work (it works on Sebek) and you'd gladly do it again because his work is genuine, and honestly good. He gets flustered from this, help him!
🍒 Ace Trappola
♡ Just starting a talk might be hard with him, as his first sentence to you was, "Hold on…" and then he walked away. You're most likely not the chasing type (and even if you are, he was rude about it) so you start to take off and decide to talk to him later. Next time you see him, he's actually surprised you're trying again to talk to him… and then he kinda apologizes for doing that, he was too stunned to chase after you after that.
♡ Listen to what he says carefully. He's both brutally honest and a natural liar, and being a liar is hard to shake even if he wants to. He called it "Youngest Sibling Survival Tactics #2" and told you not to mind it much: but that's up to you to decide. He is going to lie, but you can easily learn the signs of it like everyone else (you're not the best liar to people that know you, Ace). 
♡ If you have something cool about you that matches with what he wants to learn (like basketball trucks, or fashion tips, or some such) then he'll totally show you his sleight of hand tricks! He likes trades to be fair (... Azul) and he'll tell you anything! He's not Floyd where he's absolutely captivated and tries things prematurely, he will listen and attempt with gusto.
♡ Whenever you're disappointed in him, don't judge him too harshly. Ace can cross a line just like anybody else, and if he reaches that threshold, tell him off. And don't make assumptions about what he meant, just use first person feelings to help it get across. "I didn't think you had it in you" or "I am disappointed", like that. (But he still might get defensive, so…)
♡ He's a younger brother and a son, so he's willing to talk about family with you. Just don't be too upset if he has a take on things from the baby sibling perspective. He also likes throwing shade at Trey for fun at how he acts about people younger than him, so have fun stopping him! … But he will if you aren't having fun.
♡ It's a process with Ace, just take your time. He's just like anybody else in this school: anxious of betrayal, and just learning how to do this or that. Help him with his classwork, help him cook something, help him with your opinion on clothes… anything to just show you are on his side. After what happened at Octavinelle, he'll never take friends for granted again!

Why was Ace so hard to write?? 。:゚(;´∩`;)゚:。

Twisted Wonderland Boyfriend Scenarios! ~
Part one: How you met
Note: Reader is not Yuu
Fem Reader x Housewardens
Riddle Rosehearts
Tumblr media
You were in the library trying to find a textbook you could use to study for Professor Trein's up coming test on the history of Twisted Wonderland, when you met him.
Well...met would be putting it lightly. If you could call teetering on a rather tall ladder to get the textbook on the top shelf, then slipping off said ladder and landing on a poor unsuspecting redhead that so happened to enter the isle at the same time you fell 'meeting'.
"Whoa, look out!" You try to warn the redheaded boy below you, but it was too late. You were already crashing down on top of him with a weak groan.
Once your head stopped spinning, you immediately rolled off of him and got to your feet. Wincing slightly at the sharp pierce of pain that ripped through your ankle.
"I am so sorry! I didn't know that ladder would give way. The darn thing was supposed to be sturdier." You said, as you finally looked at the redhead you landed on.
He had really pretty grey eyes that shone with intelligence, soft princely features, and a red arm band. He was from Heartslybul then. Though, looks aside, he seemed quite disgruntled almost borderline angry.
You cringed and bowed your head apologetically. "I am so sorry again. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"
The boy lets out a sigh and fixed his uniform. His anger looked like it was fading to a mild irritation. Thank the Seven.
"If it was pure carelessness, you'd be collared from a blatant disregard of the Queen of Hearts rule of being more wary of one's surroundings. Plus it's just common sense really. But," he looked at the fallen ladder. "That ladder clearly has a loose leg. So it was not your fault."
Then, as he met your gaze, it seemed at least for a second, a blush tinted his cheeks. He cleared his throat and spoke up again. "You are welcome to come by tomorrow after class for tea if you'd like."
You smiled at him and nodded. "I'd like that a lot." You move to pick up your fallen textbook. "Well, I best be going, lots of studying to do." You said with an awkward smile.
The boy nodded and smiled as well. "Studying is always good. Have a good day." He then turned and started walking away.
You held your textbook to chest and let out a chuckle. But before you turned to leave, you called out to him. "Wait, I never got your name!"
He froze on the spot and pinched the bridge of his noseas he turned. "How could I forget one of the most important Queen of Hearts rules? One must always introduce themselves before starting a conversation with someone new. How careless of me. My name is Riddle Rosehearts. It is nice to meet you. "
You couldn't help the small giggle at Riddle’s dedication to the Queen's rules. He really was meant to be in Heartslybul. "Well Riddle, my name is (y/n). It is nice to meet you too."

Hope you guys liked the story! There's more to come!

riddle rosehearts x f!reader, nrc is co-ed, reader is not mc/yuu, implied short reader, enemies to frenemies dynamic, riddle's anger issues, undescribed bully characters, riddle getting purposely misgendered, a slightly suggestive line, one curse word, somebody please kill me for writing this and sharing it, i cant believe im writing for him before my other twst faves (ifyky -_-), one shot, (1.4k wc)
Tumblr media
Fights are so common on the NRC campus that it's odd if an hour goes by without some kind of kerfuffle erupting between hot-blooded students. The faculty rarely steps in, letting the issues solve themselves via survival of the fittest or having the housewardens settle things on their own terms. However, the rule about fighting off campus, particularly in the village to the south, is much more strictly enforced as per Crowley's worries about the school's reputation.
You would think the Heartslybul housewarden would be most privy to this given his thornish allegiance to anything deemed as a rule, though you've learned the only thing that can break Riddle's devotion to the rules is his own temper. Typically, you'd laugh in observation of the hypocrisy, taking some kind of debauched pleasure in adding to the surmounting steam coming out of his ears, but how you feel about your current situation is far from typical.
If asked, you'd say Riddle is condescending, unpleasant, and nearing the bottom of your list of people you care to engage with. He’d surely say the same for you. Hostility crackles in the air whenever the two of you interact—a spectacle for those who enjoy witnessing the corollaries when the notorious rule stickler clashes with your wilful apathy for the inflexible upholdings of archaic principles. You currently stand at a draw in terms of who walks away feeling more sour—him being forced to face your reasonability and his own lack of self-control in the face of provocations, while you’re forced to swallow his impenetrable knowledge and the fact that his prowess as a mage far outrivals yours.
All of that is insignificant at the moment. What had started as a pleasant day trip to the island's village went rancid the moment some tourists decided to rudely bump into your friends and have the audacity to get aggressive when told to be more aware. You had stepped up only for them to taunt and belittle you. One of them had made a move to grab at you, which you side-stepped and swatted away the grimy hand, extending your arm and pointing your pen at his face. Your staunch glare into the tourist's eyes only broke when you felt a firm hand pushing down your arm.
"There's no fighting off campus. Stand down and let me handle this," Riddle ordered when he intervened. You didn't even notice him nearby along with Trey and Cater.
"I wasn't going to use magic," you told him, but still, you lowered your arm.
Before he could get in a clever word to drive away the miscreants, one had asked what another little girl was going to do about it. You could only see the back of Riddle's head, but you were certain of his eye twitching at the jab.
"Awfully cute, aren't you? Why don't we have some fun with you too?" The other one said, creeping in to shove his face in Riddle's.
That's all it took for you to hear the infamous noise between a growl and a shriek that usually would send you into a fit of laughter. Trey and Cater stepped in to hold back their red-faced housewarden from making any rash moves—thus leading into the present moment.
"Little lady is pretty spicy," one of the tourists taunts with a snarky grin at the scene.
Riddle struggles and thrashes against the grip of his dorm mates, snapping at them to let him go. For all of his small and wiry stature, he proves to be more than a handful for his taller friends.
Every time you've stood in front of Riddle and seen his explosive expressions of anger, it's been amusing to you—scratching the reward center of your brain in some odd way. But now, standing behind him and watching his fit of fury, it makes your stomach feel hollow. His rage doesn't frighten you, but something about viewing it from this angle is unsettling and upsetting to you.
Trey and Carter's pleas for him to settle down fall on deaf ears, only attuned to the target of his indignation. The tourists throw more offensive jabs about Riddle's delicate build despite him looking more part wild animal than a Savanaclaw resident. You look at your own friends standing behind you, huddled together with tension and worry on their faces from the foul atmosphere.
You're not sure what compels you to make your move. It's not like you have any significant strength to help the Heartslybul third years or any kind of persuasive magic. It's not like you have even an inkling to believe you have any kind of standing with Riddle, let alone some kind of bond that would warrant you to think you would stand a chance to have any influence over him. And yet, there's this little voice that tells you to do something, even if it risks being useless or making the situation worse.
You rush forward, straight into Riddle's back, wrapping one arm around his slender waist and the other around his chest. Your hand splays over his heart, pressing down hard as you pull him into you. He still struggles and resists, but you hold on tight. With your eyes shut, you breathe in deep, letting the expansion of your lungs fill in any space still between you and his back. The rosy scent of his hair helps to keep you calm and focused. You breathe in again, holding it for a few seconds before exhaling and repeating.
After a few cycles, his back stumbles into you as he stops resisting against his friends. Trey and Cater let him go, and you shift your feet to make sure you can hold his relaxing weight upright. You feel his hand grasp over yours that you have on his heart, not pushing it away, but instead lacing his fingers through yours and gripping it steady like a lifeline. His heart and breathing race, but you keep repeating your slow and deep breaths. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold.
The tourists scoff and leave the scene as soon as they realize they're not going to get a fight. Riddle squeezes your hand once before letting go and fixing his posture. Relief washes over you and you step back, turning towards your friends to silently let them know everything is alright. They give you curious looks, but you aren't given a moment to question it.
"Thanks for stepping in. I've never been able to get him to calm down in that state before," Trey says as he rubs the back of his neck.
"We're gonna go grab something to drink to cool off. Would you girls like to join us?" Cater offers with his usual charming smile, completely unphased by the rippling tension just moments ago.
You glance at Riddle fiddling with his uniform to make sure everything is in order. You hesitate, but Trey and Cater insist on treating you for keeping their housewarden out of trouble. They lead you to a cute café that specializes in iced teas and lemonades, and while your friends happily chat with the third years, all you can think about is your right hand that had been connected to Riddle’s. Everyone puts in their orders and you choose to wait on one of the benches, still feeling a bit annoyed about the pushy tourists to be convivial.
“Here.”
You look over to see your drink being handed to you by Riddle taking the empty spot next to you. There’s a redness in his cheeks, different from the red of his temper flare-ups.
“I wasn’t trying to save you or anything,” he says. His tone annoys you, but you're relieved to see he's back to normal.
"I know," is all you say in response before taking an awkward sip of your drink. "But I was kind of hoping to see you set their asses on fire."
To your surprise, he lets out a light chuckle.
"I would have, so thanks for stopping me."
You smile, meeting his steel colored eyes before you both quickly look away.
"I can teach you that breathing technique. It's easy and might help you in the future," you offer.
"Huh?"
"The deep breathing I was doing to help you calm down back there."
He blinks at you and sips his drink, looking completely clueless for once.
"Oh, that," he says. "Sure."
He'll never tell a soul that it was actually the feeling of your boobs pressed against his back that brought him back to reality.

rook hunt x f!reader, nrc is co-ed, reader is not yuu/mc, reader is in pomefiore, reader has oc friends, a wee bit of tsundere-ness from reader, relatively harmless stalking from rook, only makes sense for my first twst fic to be dedicated to the person who dragged me into this hell: @ferndoroki you ruined my life, based on an idea put in my head after reading 'the power of kindness' by piero ferrucci, idk this is probably nonsense, (1.2k wc)
Tumblr media
Invisible to the world from his stealthy position on a cornice of the campus castle, Rook keeps a trained ear to a conversation happening below. It's an ordinary afternoon for him—stalking and tracking the prey who's held his focus since the start of the school year: You, chatting with your two friends between studying in the courtyard.
"I smell him. It's that upperclassman with the too-angular hair," says the tiny tigress with the Scarabia insignia on her sleeve as she crinkles her nose. 
You try to be subtle about the way your eyes search around for him, keeping your chin tucked as you scan your surroundings, but focusing back on your textbook before your friends turn their attention to you. 
"I don't see him anywhere. He must have passed by here," says the girl with blonde and pinkette hair while she taps her Heartslybul-red pen to her chin. 
The tigress huffs through her nose, ears twitching to try and pick up any alerting sounds. Rook knows to keep still and that he won't be detected any further on his current perch. The fact that you could flee and he'd have to continue to trail you is all part of the fun anyway. 
"You don't need to worry about Vice Housewarden Hunt," you say without looking up. 
"But he annoys you!"
"And he's weird!" 
You snap your head up to look at your friends, frowning only for a moment until you recognize their sincere protectiveness. Your shoulders soften as you begin to fiddle with your nails—Vil would chide you if he were here to see. 
"What if—" You stop yourself when you see the way your friends' eyes go wide with interest, making you bite the inside of your lip. 
"I was just thinking that maybe I've been a little too cold to him," you say softly, shy to meet the surprised looks from the other two. 
"Oh? Did something happen?" The Heartslybul girl asks. 
"Nothing!" You nearly stammer. A smile plays on Rook's lips from his hiding spot when he hears the shift in tone. "I realized lately that he's actually quite kind." 
"Kind?" The tigress repeats with skepticism. 
"He is! I know it's weird and out of place here where everyone is driven by self-centered desires, but I am starting to think his kindness is genuine," you say with much more assurance than anyone listening expects. 
"Part of me does worry that his words and behavior are some kind of trap, and I would never believe that I'm anything particularly special. Yet, when I see how he is with other people, I think to myself, 'How nice.'" 
The Heartslybul girl stifles an excited giggle while the tigress still seems unconvinced. Rook is unbothered by it all—in fact, he's rather piqued at how it will steer the conversation. 
"He is quite nice; he once said my hair was lovely like a peace rose and that an air of sweetness follows wherever I go," the Heartslybul girl says with a smile. 
"Someone of your status should be more wary of flattery," the tigress says. 
"Being a princess means you cannot accept a compliment? What do you think Mr. Hunt has to gain by flattering those without titles?" 
"Reputation, favoritism, infallibility—"
"I’ve thought of all of that!" You interject. "But the praise he gives is never unfounded from what I've seen. I’ve yet to disagree with any of his sentiments directed at others. It makes me want to believe him when he—when he…"
"When he what?"
"When he says I'm beautiful!" 
You hide your face in your knees, and hidden away above, Rook feels something tight in his chest. 
"But you are beautiful!" 
"Very much so!" The girls chime in and scoot closer to you. 
"You only say that because you love me!" You deflect in a muffled voice as you refuse to lift your head. 
To your surprise, the two girls burst into giggles and take turns rubbing at your arm or patting your shoulder. 
"You should really listen to yourself!" 
"For real! Say it all again, but slower." 
Too embarrassed to understand what they're getting at, you groan as you finally peek your head over your arms. 
"Is there reason for him to lie only to you and no one else?" The Heartslybul princess asks though she seems to already know the answer.
"If he is trying to fool you, I'll eat him," the tigress says with a small snap of her fangs for emphasis. 
"No, and no cannibalism threats! You two are making it difficult for me not to defend him," you sigh. 
Rook shifts in his position on the cornice, leaning towards the edge in that he risks being detected. He's never thought of himself as a person in need of defending. 
"And what is your defense?" 
"The fact that he even needs a defense—"
"Shush! Hear her out." 
You glance between their intrigued and attentive stares. Heat prickles in your face and neck. The fact that you’re discussing Rook at all, let alone expressing anything favorable, feels like turning your flesh inside out. The last couple of months have been spent shutting down his flirtations and pendulating between overanalyzing his interactions with you or spurning every thought of him that enters your head.
"I've been thinking about how appreciating beauty is the basis for kindness. I mean, devaluing and admonishing the beauty in something is behavior we would say is unkind and bitter, so it only makes sense if we apply the opposite," you explain, garnering the nods of your friends. "He seems to see it in so many different ways, and not only does he observe it, but he always voices it and brings attention to it. He says he’s a patron of beauty, so would that not make him a devotee of kindness as well?" 
Rook moves away from the edge of the cornice. Your words fire like an arrow without aim, yet puncture through his center with a precision defying your unawareness of his presence—though he knows he'd never hear you speak so openly if you knew he was listening. There's an alchemical bubbling in his veins. 
He's always taken a headfirst, relentless approach to his pursuits. It's the thrill of the chase and the hunger for possession. But right now, he feels that heart-stopping moment of his target coming to a halt and whipping around to stare him down—led out of his familiar paths and into your territory. 
"I can't help admiring him for it, whether I believe him or not," you say with a softness that tickles Rook's chest like the tracing of a blade tip. 
However, you retreat when you see the looks on your friends' faces. 
"I'm not saying I suddenly like him or anything! He's just not as bad as I thought, is all," you say in haste. 
It's all Rook needs to hear. He takes a few more paces away from the ledge, now in no actual danger of being spotted unless Kalim decides to pass overhead by carpet. It would be quite the odd sight: the tall man in his feathered hat crouched in on himself, nose squished against his knees to protect the rosy flush on his cheeks from ever being known to the world and to soundproof the sonorous rhythm of his heart.

Hey I had a request quickly I was wondering if you could do riddle, Kalim and ruggie with an s/o who has interstitial cystitis? Nonbinary preferable since my pronouns are theythem, and if not I completely understand it’s an oddly specific ask but since it’s what I have I thought it was worth a shot at asking
Writer's Note(s): I can do this for you! I did a lot of research and I hope it helps you feel better, hope your day is well!
Tumblr media
Info on Reader: Reader is intended GN, using they/them. Reader has interstitial cystitis but I don't say what stage of severity or if it's temporary/life-long. I steer clear of talking about medications or surgeries (as no character is a doctor).
Ship(s): Riddle, Ruggie, Kalim x GN!Reader with interstitial cystitis
Tumblr media
Riddle Rose hearts| リドル・ローズハート
After you trust him enough to tell him, and find the time as well, he thanks you for telling him. He's noticed you have irregular times you disappear and the teachers allow you to leave class often, but he's never pried into it. Riddle thanks you for telling him, and explains he does know about interstitial cystitis well.
His mother has taught him well, especially in medicine and health, and he's happy to be of service during the day if you need him. He knows he has no say on what you do or getting anymore info than you're willing to share, but he'll try and make Heartslybul more accomodating.
He'll have non-carbonated drinks more accessible for everyone and have teas that aren't agitators in stock for your visits. If you'd just like water, that's an option too. He'll have a lot of non-caffeine based foods ready for Unbirthday Parties if you join, and Trey also helps prepare things that lack Vitamin C. If there is anything you needーand he means anythingーall you need to do is ask.
Will be understanding if you can't wear the typical dorm uniform with its belt and form fitting button ups, and is willing to hear Ace complain about it. Leona and Floyd are his usual victims, but Ace is close behind. Be prepared for Ace to yell, "The Housewarden isn't scolding you for being out of uniform?!"
Sadly, anything else is out of his control and he can only support you on the sidelines. He could help remind you to take medication or perhaps help you plan for urologist visits in timely manners, but he can't do much else. If there is anything else you personally need, he'll help you. Always. If you joke about "in sickness and in health", Riddle might turn pink.
Ruggie Bucchi | ラギー・ブッチ
When you started to date, he would notice early that you don't eat a lot of stuff cooked by the chefs for Savanaclaw. He usually cooks things from scratch items and you usually eat his food unless they have spices and high salt contents. He picks up on it, and he asks if you have anything dietary going on. Of course, you tell him at this point.
Definitely needs you to tell him what it is and anything important of note from your end, because he's not too knowledgeable on that. After he gets the gist, he perks up and promises to put in some efforts for you.
Would definitely encourage baggy/loose clothes, especially since Savanaclaw students don't really care for tight uniforms either. Mandatory for them doesn't mean it's mandatory for you! If you also need any exercise done as well for your continued health, Savanaclaw is home to the best and most expansive equipment on the whole campus.
He's usually not one to waste food and he also knows that food with certain dietary benefits can be expensive, so he tries to show you alternative home specialties based on his grandma's recipes! If you like fish, he can do a lot of things with it, or he could even dry out some beef or lamb if you like. Definitely also gets you sunflower seeds if you like those, he snacks on them often.
But it's still going to be difficult for him sometimes to help you. Ruggie knows stress won't help you and sitting for too long can cause irritation, especially on the stomach. He doesn't forget about it, per say, but he does lose track of what too long sitting is or gets confused about what your bladder diary is for... but he tries!
Kalim al-Asim | カリム・アルアジーム
Most likely, he figured something was wrong when you didn't eat or partake in any food during his banquets. You did eat green vegetable based dishes, but anything with too much spice was skipped over. Kalim almost just wrote it off as someone not liking spicy food, but Jamil seemed unpleasant after Kalim admits he didn't ask you for your favorite foods. He doesn't slave away just for Kalim to ignore his partner,..
When Kalim asks you if there was anything you need, you do admit you have a medical condition in your lower abdomen. Once you're vague about it, it's almost like you told him something devastating! He screams in shock and asks what it is and if he could help in any way! Of course, to calm him down, you'll have to explain in full.
Kalim will accommodate you in so many ways, it's almost too much. Telling Jamil your diet plan would be best since food for Kalim is shared with you often. But Kalim tries asking about your doctor's visits and how much you might need for that... you'll have to turn him down or this will become a trend.
Definitely tries to teach you how to dance if you're willing to share that form of exercise with him, but will understand if you want to stick to another regimen. Scarabia has a lot of baggy/loose clothing, so you'll fit in if you wear anything like that in Scarabia Dorm.
Kalim is definitely the most enthusiastic about learning from you, and does so in... extravagant ways, but he doesn't try buying you a doctor anymore! He promises! Do you want to go flying on the magic carpet, that always calms Kalim down! ... Oh, right... Stress is bad. Maybe something else!
