SSR Dire Crowley - Raven Jacket Vignette

"A dramatic encounter"

[Lecture Hall]

Crowley: Good morning. It is beautiful out, what an absolutely splendid start to such a lovely day.

Crowley: Incidentally… Have you noticed any changes in the apple tree growing in the courtyard?

Crowley: Yes, that's right. I'm speaking of the smallest, most recent planted tree within the courtyard.

Crowley: It feels as though it was only yesterday that it first started sprouting, and yet… It truly is growing at an astonishing rate.

Crowley: Whenever I chance a glance at that ever-striving tree growing each and every day under rain, shine or clouds, I also feel a twinge of self-reflection to be better.

Crowley: As if telling me that in both happy times and sad, one cannot forget to continue to strive for growth.

Crowley: And also… At the same time, I feel as though that tree represents all you students enrolled here at Night Raven College.

Crowley: That is, with respect to the point that with a good environment and proper nourishment, you all are able to grow and mature so wonderfully.

Crowley: …Well? Wouldn't you say that was an inspiring speech!?

Leona: Zzz.

Crowley: EXCUSE ME. I JUST HEARD A VERY LARGE SNORE THERE, WHO WAS THAT!?

Azul: It was magnificent! I was utterly enthralled by your wonderfully deep analogy. As one should expect from someone like you, Crowley-sensei!

Riddle: Really? I could have done with a little more tangible explanation, myself.

Riddle: What especially caught my attention was what you said about having "proper nourishment." Headmage, sir! What would that constitute?

Idia: Forget that, was this student assembly even a need? It's not even lol-worthy to think about how much time we've wasted having to listen to the Headmage's self-indulgent monologues on loop.

Vil: I concur. If all you wish to do is chit-chat, could you not gather the entire student body? I would rather use my mornings for my stretching exercises.

Octavinelle Student: Yeah, it's always some kind of useless speech.

Heartslabyul Student: I wanna go back to my dorm～

[clamoring]

Crowley: EVERYONE PLEASE QUIET DOWN!

Crowley: Anyway! What I was trying to say is…

Crowley: I would like everyone here to carry yourself with pride as befitting a student of Night Raven College.

Kalim: Oh! I was totally lost with what you were saying earlier, I see, so that's what you meant!

Kalim: I totally get it. I'll work hard just like an orange tree does!

Crowley: AN APPLE TREE!

[door opens]

Crowley: Hm? Who could possibly be showing up this late to… Ah.

Malleus: …

Crowley: D-DRACONIA-KUN!

Crowley: Right, did anyone tell him that there was to be a campus-wide student assembly…?

Everyone: Not at all.

Malleus: Was I not extended an invitation once again?

Malleus: You have the gall... To leave me outcast…

[lightning strikes down]

Crowley: W-Wait, Draconia-kun! Do not cast your lightning indoors!

Leona: Yaaaawn… Done blabbering, then? 'Kay, meeting over. Everyone back to their dorms.

[everyone nods]

Crowley: Aah, everyone, wait! If you're leaving, please take Draconia-kun with you!

[Cafeteria]

Crowley: For goodness’ sake. This morning could have gone much better.

Crowley: However, no matter what tribulations I may come across… Once it is time for lunch, I immediately feel much better!

Crowley: And that's all thanks to the delicious fare our school provides. What is the recommended meal of the day?

Ghost Chef: Welcome, Headmage. Today's recommendation is an exceptionally filling meat pie filled with large chunks of beef!

Crowley: Sounds fantastic. Please, I would have that, then.

Crowley: Oh, hello, Crewel-sensei and Vargas-sensei. I see Trein-sensei is with you too!

Crowley: Are you all taking lunch together? May I join you?

Vargas: Absolutely, yes, come and sit with us! I bet it'd be more than a hassle to find another seat when it's this crowded, anyway.

Crewel: I also was unable to find other seating, so here I am, reluctantly keeping company with a scold.

Trein: I do believe if you wish to avoid a lecture you would do well to not do anything warranting one.

Trein: …Oh. I see that you've ordered the beef pie, Headmage.

Crowley: That's correct. I am an avid connoisseur of meat, yes.

Crowley: Of course I'll eat it all, including beef, pork, chicken, and even wild game.

Trein: Wild game?

Crowley: Indeed, gibier, it's called. Have you ever tried it?

Vargas: Oh yeah, gibier! Last time I had some was when I ate some venison, and it sure did taste so delicious that I was overflowing with energy～

Crowley: You have a distinguished palate, Vargas-sensei. How wonderful.

Crowley: There are a multitude of other gibier meat to try, you know. I do hope you all have a chance to…

Sam: ＩＮＳＴＯＣＫＮＯＷ!

Everyone: AHH!!

Crowley: S-Sam-kun… I implore you to not pop in from behind us like that!

Sam: Nyeheehee. You all looked like you were lost in such enjoyable conversation, I just couldn't help myself.

Crewel: This is a rare sight, Sam. You're usually tending to the Mystery Shop around this time, aren't you?

Sam: The cafeteria ghosts had asked for a delivery of some ingredients, is all.

Sam: Headmage, if you're interested in some gibier that's a little more difficult to get your hands on, you know I got you.

Sam: Whatever kind of food you may want, I can procure it for you.

Crowley: You're fantastic, Sam-kun. How wonderfully supportive. However…

Crowley: In all actuality, I also have a fondness for vegetables, fruits and sweets in addition to meat. I love anything that is not spicy!

Crewel: I am fully aware. For as long as I remember, your omnivorous habits have made for quite the reputation.

Crowley: Omniv… Could you possibly say that in a more appropriate manner!?

Sam: …Hm? I just noticed that everyone's ordered very different dishes. Really goes to show each of your preferences.

Vargas: Since I always have my muscles on my mind, I make it so my lunches are egg dishes packed full of protein!

Crewel: I do like meat pies myself, so I did consider it… But that size is far too much for me.

Crewel: It may be perfect for those growing students, but it is most likely in excess of the recommended nutritional intake for us adults.

Trein: Indeed. I also selected something else when I saw it with my own eyes.

Trein: If I ate such a thing for lunch, I would still feel it weighing me down during afternoon classes.

Crowley: Is that so? Such a shame. It's so delicious～

Vargas: Nice, that's a great appetite you got. I'll have to work hard to keep up!

Trein: Look at him, devouring that hearty and greasy meat pie so easily… He truly is young at heart…

Crewel: You're not wrong, he hasn't changed one bit from my student days.

Trein: For that matter, I don't believe he's changed since I started my tenure here at Night Raven College…

Crewel: Headmage… How old is he truly? I'm curious, and yet I'm not sure I want to know…

Sam: Nyeheehee. He's truly a man of mystery. It piques one's curiosity.

Crowley: Ah, so delicious. Past me deserves such gracious thanks for hiring these Five-Star restaurant chefs.

Crowley: And what a dramatic encounter it was meeting those chef ghosts.

Crowley: That was… Oh, hm. How many decades ago, now?

[Main Street]

Crowley: Now, what shall I do this afternoon? The other professors are busy with classes, so mayhaps I'll go while away the time at Sam-kun's shop…

???: We ain't gotta sweat the small stuff, c'mon.

Crowley: Hm? This voice…

Grim: No one'll notice if we skip one or two classes. We should totally just snag a few z's instead, myahaha!

1. Let's hurry and head back towards the classroom. 2. Maybe you're right and no one will catch us…

Crowley: That certainly was Grim-kun's voice, I see…

Crowley: Even if it is just those two, how could there be anyone with the audacity to cut class at my academy! I absolutely cannot believe it!

Savanaclaw Student: Hey, we'll be using that bench to relax on while we ditch class. Get off.

Grim: Huuh!? I'm the one who found this sunny spot first!

Crowley: WHA― THERE ARE OTHERS CUTTING CLASS AS WELL!?

Crowley: Not only are there multiple students missing class, it seems a fight is about to break out, as well… What is with this break in decorum at this school?

Crowley: EXCUSE ME, YOU LOT! YOU SHOULD ALL BE IN CLASS RIGHT NOW!

Grim: Urgh. Someone annoying's found us.

Crowley: [Yuu]-kun, it is most troublesome if you cannot look after Grim-kun properly.

1. I'm sorry.

Crowley: How refreshing… It's so moving to have someone apologize so forthright immediately after breaking a rule…

2. Grim just doesn't listen to me.

Crowley: Y-You're just running yourself ragged, I see… Poor thing to have to deal with Grim-kun like this.

Crowley: All of you return to class this instant. It should be an honor that you have the privilege of attending classes here.

Crowley: Magic is not something so simple that can be controlled on talent alone.

Crowley: Of course, natural talent may be important, but what truly matters is maturing your abilities through daily growth and experiences.

Crowley: You all do remember my very loving speech from this morning, yes?

Grim: It was all about somethin' boring, so I wasn't listening.

Ignihyde Student: Yeah. Same.

Crowley: EXCUSE ME!? [Yuu]-kun, please tell me you had your listening ears on this morning?

1. Of course I remember.

Crowley: Whew... At least you're a good student.

2. Something about grape trees, right?

Crowley: APPLE TREES!

Ignihyde Student: Man, you're so annoying… You keep yammering on, but there's really no reason to listen to you, is there?

Diasomnia Student: Seriously. It’s not like I've ever seen the Headmage do any kind of crazy strong magic or anything, and even the Housewardens were ignoring him at the student assembly…

Savanaclaw Student: He ain't scary at all. Just ignore him!

Crowley: …What pitiful children.

Crowley: Well, I suppose I have no choice. I'll just have to show you exactly how important incremental advancement in your studies can be.

Crowley: …FOR MY KINDNESS KNOWS NO BOUNDS!

Students: HRRGHH!

Grim: Oh hey, that stuff wrapped around those guys is the Headmage's uh… weird rope thing!

Crowley: This is not rope. This is my lash of love! A slightly stronger version than before.

Savanaclaw Student: OW, OW! I'M GETTING SQUEEZED～!

Diasomnia Student: This kinda magic should be no problem to break out… Hurng, I can't!? Wh-Why? Our magic's not even making a scratch on it!

Crowley: That should be expected. You do realize I am the Headmage here, yes? This level of magic comes as easily to me as breathing does.

Crowley: It's one thing when those who comprehend my power, like the Housewardens, speak in jest…

Crowley: But it would be completely disgraceful of me as an instructor to be belittled by students like you who have no knowledge of the difference in our abilities.

Crowley: You should try to comprehend how unripe your magical abilities still are.

Grim: Yeah, yeah, get 'em, Crowley! Show 'em what little they know!

1. I wouldn't get too carried away… 2. Wouldn't it be better to run before…?

Crowley: And a lash of love for you! My more heedful version!

Grim: GRRAAH～!

1. Astounding, no matter how many times I see it! 2. Your lightning quick flick made quick work of him!

Crowley: Heh, you don't have to go that far in praising… Hold on now, Grim-kun! No matter how much you thrash about, nothing will come of it. Calm yourself.

Crowley: After all, I have such high expectations for you, Grim-kun. That includes you too, [Yuu]-kun.

Crowley: I fully believe that the two of you will be integral to changing the future of this academy.

Crowley: I'm sure you two will be all I hope for and more, don't you?

Grim: Yeah, yeah, I gotchu. Just leave it all to the genius Grim-sama.

Grim: …SO LET ME GO ALREADY～!

Crowley: Well then. I suppose I'll just take you all to your assigned classes just like this now.

Grim: Huh!? If you drag us along all tied up like this, everyone that'll see us will all point and laugh…!

Grim: LET GO, LET ME GOOO!

Crowley: I must make sure that you Night Raven College students properly reflect on your actions and learn from each experience.

Crowley: And that is because you are all one of my very precious, precious apple trees...

How they would act when you fall asleep on their shoulder Pt. 6

Part 5 (Leona, Kalim & Ace)

Summary: You had a long morning, and you didn't even get enough sleep so now you are very tired, But sitting with them in the courtyard during lunch break, while they talk you find yourself falling asleep, your head on their shoulder.

Ft. Ortho, Deuce & Jade x GN!Reader [Seperate]

A/n: dear me i had a crisis whether i should add ortho or not, but look at me, i did it anyways! you can think of his part as romance (if you're even allowed to do that) Or platonic because its either :▶

! do not repost or translate my works anywhere. do not copy or use my works in any site, Reblogs are appreciated alot though !

Ortho

His only best efforts he can do is stay still and try not to shift positions alot. He has to ask multiple times if you are really feeling okay and not uncomfy, But since you told him you seriously won't feel anything, He decided to stay still. Probably hums you a lullaby.

As you fall asleep, He looks at you, Even scans you, Double check if you're asleep before going on using the internet just at his fingertips. Who knows, He might be texting everyone about you, positively. Afterall, He's a happi boy :]

You nod at every story he tells you all about his life. How does he know these childhood things as a robot? You will never know.. But you gotta admit, the stories are interesting. You took off your jacket, folding it into a pillow. You place the folded jacket on Ortho's shoulder. You lay the side of your head onto it, Your arms taking Ortho's arm in an embrace. Your actions made Ortho stop speaking, blankly staring at you for a few seconds. "Eh? What's wrong?" He asks. "..Keep talking, Orthy.. I'm just getting comfortable." You mutter under your breath. Ortho doesn't look pleased with your answer, Because he can tell you were lying. "You don't need to tell me." He chuckles kindly with a hint of mischief in it. Your eyes were closed but your ears were focused on him, when You suddenly hear a scanning noise which causes you to sit back up and look at him scanning you. "Hmm, You are... Tired? And stress??" He asks himself.

You grumble incoherent curses at him, Who lightly pulls your head back on his shoulder. "Well You could've just said so!" He says with pure enthusiasm. "Orthy, No.. I wanna keep listening.." You mumble sadly. Without being affected by your sulkings, Ortho shakes his head. "Nope, You listen to it later but I say you sleep!" You sigh, Yawning after that. "Fine!" You agree. Ortho helps you fall asleep easier by humming you a lullaby his brother once did to his human self. Just when you are sleeping, Ortho checks on you, Scanning you, double the better. "Asleep.." He whispers to himself, "Good- You need it badly." He sighs in relief. Thank sevens you're already sleeping, you must be so tired.. He sways his fingers in air, A magical program appearing infront of him as he uses it to wait for you to wake up.

Deuce

We all know he's trying his best to change, he was a delinquent so who's there to say that he knows what he's doing? No way he used to let people rest on him when he was a delinquent. That's just impossible mate.

He doesn't how to do this, so he just sticks with the basics. Though the more you sleep on him the more he gets used to it and start to like it. He would think it isn't really that bad anymore and get used to it. Still not knowing his next moves, but it's not like you mind, you're literally dead asleep on him.

You and Deuce are studying for the next lesson, You don't know this.. Damnit, Another all nighter. As the shade of the tree hides you both from the sun, you yawn softly. Deuce looks at you. "Sleepy?" He asks. You sigh tiredly, leaning your head on his shoulder and closing your eyes. "Hey, What are you-" He couldn't even finish what he said, because you're already asleep. He closes the book and place it beside him, thinking of what to do. He never even experienced these kinds of things, how should he do this..

Deciding to be brave, Deuce pats your head softly, only to feel his heart soften when you rub your head against his shoulder like a cat striving for attention. "Aw.." He says in a low voice. "On second thought, This actually feels good." He adds, Rubbing your head with his hand. You tug on the ends of his blazer, snoring quietly. He spots your pen, hanging on your ear. He gently takes it, putting it on the ground. Deuce still isn't aware of what he should do next, but the best he can do is just rest aswell. He closes his eyes. "Hah.. Let's just do the assignment together later.. Let's just.. Rest.." He mumbles.

Jade

Jade is that type to know your current conditions, But won't ask if you need help, instead, You'll be the one asking instead. He expects you to already ask him to be a pillow. He sees you at the hallway, almost tripping and falling, he already knows. He's just waiting for you to ask for help from him.

So the moment you ask if you can lean on his shoulder to take a short nap he'll probably let you lay on his lap. Like It might be more comfy on my lap and he was meant to do that purposely. To make you sleep on his lap, if anything he might just hypnotize you to do so.

You watch Jade read a book. You thought about telling him. He won't mind.. Right? You lean your forehead against his shoulder, his attention switches to you. "What seems to be the matter?" He asks, You can hear the excitement in his voice, probably just you. "Mm.. Let me rest on you for a while.. Please." You plead him, He expected you to ask him but he didn't expect the plead. Jade chuckles lowly. "You can, but why don't you rest on my lap? It must be uncomfortable sleeping like this."

"But you're reading something.." You slowly get back up. Jade lifts his book up to read closely. "There, You may rest on my lap now." You exhale lightly. "Fine.." You mumble, resting your head on his lap, He's smiling at you, but in the inside he's having a victory dance. You start to relax as you close your eyed and sleep. Jade runs his fingers through your hair, "Sleep well." He whispers to you.

Author's End note: Still happy I got vil :▶

Can you do headcanons for Leona, Jack, Trey, and the tweels with a small gn!s/o who “borrows” their clothing items (like a jacket or something) often and it looks super oversized?

It's Not Called "Stealing"~

warnings: N/A

Berry: Hi everyoone! New Years are upon us and as you may have noticed I've closed the ask box but it is temporarily to help me setup for the follower event! I will finish the rest of the requests before I officially announce what I have in store <3

The first time he saw this, He was about to greet you but almost immediately went to shut his mouth cuz he didn't wanna interrupt what you were doing (It's a funny and adorable sight to him)

Lowkey is the type to take blurry pics of you wearing his clothes, especially the jacket he wore in the Vargas camp. He'd tease you afterward of course ~

He'd be a bit weary especially if you so happen to "borrow" his dorm hat (cuz he doesn't wanna have an incomplete uni in front of Riddle) but when his outfit is not in use he'd happily lend it to you

Would be the type of BF that would help you adjust his clothing to fit you better. I see him as the cheeky one who he'd keep on "fixing" his hat on top of your head for a little longer just too close to see you get flustered at how close you guys are <3

A cute thing that I would see is that later down the line he'd call in his parents to send him some of his old clothes from home as a gift to his (Y/N)~

At first, Leona thought that his clothes were being washed by Ruggie more so than usual...like they kept on disappearing and reappearing. That's when he found your scent had lingered in some of them and it clicked for ya boi.

You just gave this man an ego boost I swear

He'd deadass just buys more stuff and just oh so happen to leave them around his room for you to wear or if not (cuz Ruggie would give him an earful) he'd put them in places that's easy for you to get

He's a bit more smug than usual, "happier" if you will, knowing you're somewhere around campus, proudly showing off that you're his and vice versa ~

When you do return some of his clothes, he often spends time laying in his bed sniffing them (it's a bit weird but hey he's a beastman) It's the scent of his mixing in with yours that just well...leaves Leona in a calm state of mind. It soothes him either to yet another nap or in a better mood.

He'd be a proud and bashful boi~ <3

He first saw you wearing his school blazer and ya gotta listen to me (Y/N) Jack is yknow...JACKED so that's one baggy blazer. There's that instinct of his that makes him want to protect you more cuz you look so soft and warm in something that's his

He won't straight up say it but his tail would start wagging when he sees you wearing them either when you guys are hanging out of campus or just hanging in each other's room

Similar to Leona, Jack loves that your scent is still in his clothes once you gave them back, which makes him more determined and allowed him to focus on whatever he's doing

Next time Jack's out looking for clothes, he'd bring you along cuz he'd be the type to trust your taste since you like his attire so much (aww)

Another bf that would tease their s/o relentlessly~

I could see Jade as the type to compliment you but the type where he'd whisper them lovingly in your ear cuz he likes to see your reaction~

Would sometimes just let you borrow some of his clothes even tho he needs them at that moment. He'd have this proud smile despite being nagged by Azul for being in an incomplete uniform. "It seems I happen to have lost it~" Jade chuckled as he eyed you in the corner, casually wearing his hat

On the occasion he does need one of his clothes, he loves the chase of finding you and getting it back (I pray for you but you might be into it-)

I could see him as the kind of bf that would take pictures or fond over you from a distance. He gets a kick out of people's reaction once they found out that your clothes are actually his. entertaining and adorable. *mentally takes note to shower you in affection later~*

Out of all the guys here, he'd be one of the happiest once he found out. Like he'd run up to you and twirl you around cuz you look adorable

He's in a much more cooperative and better mood (Riddle and Azul mentally thanked you for this one) especially when you so happen to pass by him.

Even when you didn't "borrow" something from him, I see him straight up giving you one of his clothes or accessories to wear for the day. like, imagine him waking up early just to pick out what accessory of his he wants you to parade around campus~!

I see him taking pics of you wearing them as well as putting one of them as his lock screen cuz his tiny koebi-chan looks good~

Later down the line, he'd bring you on shopping dates to buy matching outfits inspired by all of this happening~ (be it the same attire or coordinating ones) Idk why but I see him taking really good or candid shots of your guys' outfits

!*~Valentine's Times~*! pt 2

A/N: Here's the first half of the dorms! I decided to add in my own world-building into this fic because that's my favorite part of writing honestly! Hope you enjoy it! Word Count: 5.5K Warnings: She/They Pronouns OC, Gets mildly spicy, swearing Pairings: Established poly (Yuu/Azul/Jamil/Malleus), Alluded to Riddle/Floyd, Alluded to Jade/Trey, Alluded Ruggie/Leona L (NRC Staff ft OCs). O (Here). V (Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, Diasomnia). E (Crack)

O is for the only one I see...

~HEARTSLABYUL~

Valentine's Day was one of the most important days in Heartslabyul. Not just because it was the holiday covered in the Queen of Hearts motif, but because it was the literal marriage anniversary of the Queen and her first King. The man who arguably kept his fiery wife in good spirits and happiness, saving nearly hundreds from beheadings throughout his life. Even when the queen remarried, every February 14th she would all but explode from the love she still held for her former king.

As the centuries passed, the Queen's Anniversary was brought to other parts of Twisted Wonderland, morphing into Valentine's Day from multiple cultural adaptations. While still considered a minor holiday, it was widely celebrated. So, Heartslabyul as the Queen's dorm, took Valentine's Day very very seriously.

Yuu looked at the students of the Queen's dorm, watching the Heartslabyul crew rushing around in a pure panic trying to decorate. Riddle clearly wanted to make the school-wide holiday tea party perfect, more than likely nearly sending his own teen heart into mini cardiac arrests the second a single rose was found off by a petal or color. The dorm was in such hyper-focus, Yuu was able to walk around as though invisible, letting out a low whistle as the collared students running past them started reaching the double digits. They stop in front of a display of roses, each bloom so perfect and similar it kind of freaked them out…

“Maybe the chocolate will help him calm down…”

“HEY!” Yuu startled and turned, seeing Deuce with another student. Each with an armful of creepily perfect flowers in one arm and Deuce pointing directly at them. “NO LAZYING-...Oh. Yuu, what are you doing here?” Deuce shoved his share of flowers into the other first year's arms, ignoring their groans as he walked toward them, “The Valentine’s Day party isn't for hours. Did you come to help decorate?”

“Ha. No. I came to spread cheer-”

Deuce quickly placed his hands on Yuu's shoulders, staring into their eyes as though he were begging them for mercy, “Yuu, whatever shenanigans you have planned. Not here…Not today.”

“Oh my God. Calm down.” Yuu brushes off Deuce’s hands, smiling as they instead teasingly fix his dorm jacket, “I'm actually here to deliver cheer. In fact, can you do me a favor and get everyone in one place? I don't wanna run around trying to find everyone.”

He gives them a distrusting look but still sighs in acceptance. Looking away, he brings a hand to his mouth as he thinks, “I think everyone is mostly in the garden…Clover-Senpai is in the kitchen. So…” he smiles, pointing behind him with his thumb, “I'll grab Clover-Senpai and we'll meet you in the garden!”

Yuu beams, clapping their hands, “Perfect! See you in the garden, Deuce!”

The two of them split, each running in opposite directions. Soon Yuu found themselves rushing into the maze, following the sounds of Riddle's yelling. They slow their jog, looking at the half decorated courtyard in mild amazement before Riddle's voice cuts through their thoughts.

“Trappola! I will ask you again…What is wrong with this picture!?” Riddle gestures toward a singular bush of bright red roses.

Ace seemed just as fed up, making loud humming sounds as he nearly shoved his face into the bush to look at the roses, “Besides the fact there's nothing wrong with the damn bush? No! I haven't the faintest idea, Housewarden!”

Yuu watches as Riddle physically turns away from Ace, hands covering his face with his head tilted toward the sky. He turns back, face growing its impressive shade of red as he points to one of the roses, “I SAID ‘ROSE RED’, TRAPPOLA. THESE ROSES ARE PINK.”

“WHERE!?” Ace’s face was quick to press against Riddle's hand, annoyingly trying to figure out what Riddle was seeing. When he could only see the roses as the red he asked for, he turned to Riddle, glaring, “WHERE!?”

“By the Seven! I'd dare to call them FUSCHIA!”

Somehow over the screaming match, Yuu heard a groan to the side of them. Cater sat at a table, card stock scattered around him with his ‘Cute’ handwriting spelling out people's names. Yuu smiles as they pick up their own card, raising an eyebrow at Cater’s mumbles.

“I can't. I'm not strong enough. I have to kill Idia by giving him his chocolates in public. There's no way #terrorone and #terrorjr are gonna be done fighting over this before lunch. Trey’s locked in the kitchen and I have to keep them from killing each other…”

They were barely able to keep their laughter in check, placing their name tag back down and yelling out loud enough to be heard over Riddle and Ace screaming at each other, “Hi~!”

Cater snaps up, eyes wild in fear as he looks at them, “Yuu, sweetie-”

Riddle snaps his head in their direction and points to the entryway of the maze's courtyard, nearly foaming at the mouth as he glared toward them, “GET THE FUCK OUT!”

“Aha!? Riddle, my hair is already half up. We can fight, right the fuck now.”

Silence passes through the courtyard. Riddle takes deep breaths, face held in his hands as he walks aimlessly to burn off his steadily growing aggression.

Ace watched Riddle with a wary eye before turning to Yuu, “Look, prefect. Unless you're here to help, I don't think you should stay long…” the unspoken ‘Riddle is going insane’ ringing clear.

Yuu smiles, shaking their head and patting their bag, “Not staying or helping. But…I come bearing gifts-”

How Riddle walked that fast in heels, on grass, with his short legs and not falling, Yuu didn't know. But the second-year stomps up to them, grips them tight by their overall straps and yanks them close. For a brief moment, Yuu felt fear, looking into Riddle's bloodshot gray eyes.

“Yuu. You are like a sister to me. I care about you deeply and I feel genuinely grateful that we were able to become friends. But whatever…nonsense you have cooked up. Don't. Literally. Don't. I think I would actually hurt you-oh…”

During Riddle's increasingly manic speech, Yuu had reached into their tote and presented him with his bag of chocolate. Tied closed with a bright red ribbon, fashioned to look like a flower bloom. Inside were rose-shaped milk chocolates filled with strawberry jam, crown-shaped sugar-coated strawberry gummy candies and gold-colored chocolate pearls. They smile lightly as Riddle slowly takes the bag from their grasp.

“You…you actually brought a gift for me…”

“Yeah. That was kind of my plan for today. I knew everyone was gonna be busy putting together this big ass party for today. So instead of doing the easy thing and waiting for the chocolate exchange later tonight, I decided to visit you guys all early and gift you your chocolates as a pick me up.” Yuu leans forward, smiling as they flick Riddle on the forehead to snap him out of his trance, “Because I'm so nice.”

Riddle sighs, holding the chocolate with both his hands, “I'm…I'm going to take a break. I think we all need it. Ace, we'll fix the roses later.”

Ace sputters, flailing his arms and just barely stopping from flinging his jacket off as he wretched a paint sample from his pocket to shove in Riddle's face,”I LITERALLY COLOR MATCHED THEM TO THE DAMN SAMPLE YOU PASSED OUT!?”

Riddle looks at the swatch, plucking it from Ace’s hands to bring it closer to his face, “Oh dear…this is last year's swatch. It's faded…”

“...” Ace breathed in deep, head tilting back as he let out an anguished-sounding yell before dropping to his knees and curling up in what Yuu could only call defeat.

They reach into their tote, pulling out another bag tied with red and black ribbons. Inside were milk chocolate-covered pitted cherries along with plain and red luster-dusted white chocolate heart shapes. Yuu drops the bag beside Ace’s head, chuckling as the first-year grabs it with a huff and opens it to eat one of the chocolates.

“We're here!” Deuce walks into the courtyard, one hand raised in greeting and the other dragging a bleary eyed Trey behind him.

Trey sighed, taking his hand from Deuces hold to pull his glasses off, “I've got 20 minutes until my cakes need to be out of the oven.” After cleaning the smears from his glasses, he places them back on his face only to have his eyes creasing at the scene before him, “What happened…?”

“Nothing of real importance-CATCH.” Yuu chucks a bag tied with dark green and yellow ribbons at Trey, barely giving the third-year a chance to realize something was being flung directly at his face.

Luckily Trey was able to catch the bag, looking into it with curiosity before he smiled. Dark and milk chocolates shaped like clovers with green chocolate pearls filled the bag. He opened it to examine the sweets, feeling proud at how well the chocolates looked compared to Yuu’s first attempts, “You did really well. I’m glad you took my advice, the chocolates seemed to have firmed up properly.” He pops the sweet into his mouth and chews, eyes widening at feeling the shell break “Oh! They’re filled…hm…The lavender paste isn’t as sweet as I’d normally make it, but it's really smooth and I like how it blends with the chocolate-”

Yuu pats the third-year’s shoulder, interrupting his critique, “Trey, thank you…but dude this is not a peer review thing, just eat the chocolate.”

He chuckles, reaching into the bag again to grab a different chocolate, only to snort at finding a green toothbrush in the bag as well, “I just want you to know I’m proud of how well you did.”

Deuce looks on in question, humming under his breath before quietly asking Yuu, “Did you bring me chocolate too?”

“Are you one of my most special boys?”

“...” Deuce grew flustered, looking to the side as a small blush colors his cheeks, “Y-ya?”

“Then you get chocolate!” Yuu pulled out another bag, tied closed with blue and black ribbons. Inside were milk and blue luster-dusted white chocolates in the shape of spades, but the bigger shapes were cut-out marshmallows of yellow chicks.

Gasping, Deuce takes the bag gently in his hands as he looks at the marshmallows in poorly contained adoration, “I…Yuu, I can't eat them. They're so small. Yuu, I can't eat a baby chicken!”

Riddle grunts from the table beside Cater, chewing thoughtfully on one of the gummy crowns, “Don't waste food.”

Cater hums, raising an eyebrow as Yuu smiles at him, “Sweetie…you know I don't like sweets…” the thought Yuu went out of their way to make him a bag still made him feel appreciated though.

“I'm aware. So here.” They pull out a bag tied off with orange and red ribbons. Inside were dark chocolate circles that looked to have piped on emoji faces. Brightly multi-colored diamond-shaped gummies filling up the bag.

“Oh. My. SEVEN! Yuu, this is totally cam-able!” Cater grabbed the bag, eyes glittering just how adorable and on brand the bag felt for his account. Even if he couldn't eat the treats it felt nice that Yuu made sure the bag was cute for his Magicam.

“I also made sure to use the most bitter chocolate and Jamil, unknowingly, helped me make the Sriracha paste. Plus the gummies are sour coated.”

“...” Cater stood up and wrapped Yuu into a hug, swinging them around before he placed them down with a wide smile, “I'm going to take a hundred photos and then eat it all at once!” The third-year then zipped off to a different corner of the courtyard, bag and phone in hand as he started to hunt for the perfect lighting.

Yuu smiles, clapping their hands before walking toward the entryway, “Welp. My work here is done. I'll see you boys later tonight for the party. Try not to, like, kill each other before then.”

“No promises.” Riddle and Ace speak in unison, the two redheads glaring at each other once they realize the other had spoken.

Riddle then perks up, quickly standing and following after Yuu to speak to them in private, “Actually. You're going to Octavinelle, correct?”

“Yeah? Why?”

“Would you take my and Trey’s chocolates to the twins?”

“HA! No.” Yuu turns, a smile on their face as they move to walk out of the maze.

“I-! Why not!?”

“You have legs?”

Riddle huffed, stomping his foot before crossing his arms, “You know very well that if I hand Floyd his chocolates, he won't unhand me.”

“Fucking suffer. That's your boyfriend.” Yuu waved over their shoulder, smiling wide as they sang out, “Bye~!”

Riddle huffs, watching Yuu rush out of the maze and leaving them to their work. He turns back to the courtyard at the sound of a muted crunch and Ace yelling.

“Motherfucker! Yuu, one of these still had the pit in it!”

~SAVANACLAW~

Savanaclaw was somehow on par with Heartslabyul in terms of people rushing around. Though it seemed less of an organized panic and more so people were sprinting for the fun of it.

Yuu steps farther into the dorm, raising an eyebrow watching a group of students zoom past them. They raise an eyebrow as they touch one of the rock formations and turn heel, sprinting back into the opposite direction.

Ruggie appears, softly glaring at them as he gently elbowed them back toward the mirror, “Ay! No. Noooo. Leona's asleep, you can't be here.”

“Did all of Savanaclaw join the track team?”

“Don't try to change the subject. I don't know what you did, but Leona's banned you from the dorm whenever he's asleep until further notice. He's paying me a good chunk of change to enforce it. So…” Ruggie bends down, arms locking behind Yuu's knees and lifting them over his shoulder to deposit outside of the dorm.

“How about I bribe you though?”

Ruggie stops, quietly pondering before he asks, “What kind of bribe?”

Yuu holds a bag to the side of his face, the plastic bag tied shut with brown and yellow ribbons. Three chocolate-dipped donuts surrounded by multi-colored mini donut-shaped white chocolates.

The hyena was quick to place them down, snatching the bag from their hand before he spread his arms wide, “My good pal, Yuu! Welcome to our humble dorm!”

“Fucking shameless. Anyway, the sprinting? What the fuck is that about?”

Ruggie hums, opening his bag to pull out one of the donuts, “Oh. It's a bit of a tradition in the Afterglow Savanna. Since it's so hot, chocolate doesn't really last long there. So it’s kinda custom to sprint your chocolate to the object of your affections. But it's also a claiming thing.” He points to the three students sprinting against each other, “Those three found out they're trying to give chocolate to the same person.”

Yuu laughs a bit, raising an eyebrow in question, “What's stopping them from throwing their chocolate at the person so it reaches them first?”

“Don't joke about that. It's stupid but one of them might actually do it. Trust me, I know. Valentine's Day makes everyone kinda stupid.”

“Oh, you're above that Ruginald? Don't feel the need to sprint your chocolate to the love of your life?”

Ruggie smiles, shrugging as he reached for one of the mini donut shapes, “Why would I? No one's dumb enough to try to give Leona chocolate and Leona isn't running anywhere.”

“I see. So you know your prey is cornered.”

“Why are you in the dorm?”

How neither noticed Jack standing a few feet away from them, blotting out the sun, they didn't know. But they simply waved at his stern expression.

“Hi Jack!”

“Hi, Yuu. You're banned from the dorm until further notice.”

Yuu waved him off, opening their tote to grab his bag of chocolate, “Oh it's fine. I bribed Rugward already.”

Jack turned to Ruggie, eyes narrowed as though to say ‘really?’ as he watched the second year pull out another donut, “What?”

Ruggie doesn't wait to have his mouth empty, speaking around the donut, “No idea what they're talking about.”

Yuu laughs at Jack's soured expression, “Don't worry, I have a bribe for you too.”

His expression didn't change, but his perked ears and quick swish of his tail showed how eager he was, “I don't want your bribe…”

They pull out a bag tied close with white and orange ribbons. White chocolate bones filled with pear jam, five mid-sized spheres of milk chocolate and scattered orange chocolate pearls.

Jack's face fully changed, showing his surprise as he held his hand out, “Oh…this is actually pretty nice…”

“What? Did you think I was going around giving people bags of live scorpions?”

Ruggie snorted, “That does sound like something you would do…”

“Rugamillion, where would I find that many scorpions in this weather?”

Jack had already pulled a chocolate bone from the bag, chewing it quietly as his tail wagged from the taste of pear, “That's the only issue you'd have?” He eyed the chocolate spheres with a more critical glance, shaking one lightly, “What's in these?”

“Probably scorpions.”

“Hahaha, fuck you. Those are hot chocolate bombs, but instead of cocoa mix I used that protein powder you keep at Ramshackle.” They smile, shrugging as they slowly elbow past Jack's body, “You can have a warm mug of protein-packed chocolate milk before bed. Get those gains in your sleep.”

Jack knew they were on their way to Leona's room. Sighing as he relented, they'd cause more of a fuss if he and Ruggie tried to remove them, “That's not how that works and you know it.”

“Can't hear you over the sound of me walking up the stairs.”

Ruggie’s snicker was barely audible from the second floor of the dorm. Yuu tipped-toed into Leona's room, quietly closing the door behind them. They walk closer to the bed, trying to not laugh as Leona's tail started to increasingly slap against the bed in an attempt to make them leave. Just as Yuu stood beside the bed, Leona's eyes blinked open drowsily.

It took a few seconds before Leona groans, rolling over and pulling his pillow over his head, “What the fuck do I even pay Ruggie for…?”

“You want like…a list or…?”

Leona groaned loudly, pointing back toward the door, “Get out. You know what you fucking did, get away from me.”

Yuu laughs, sitting on the bed and swatting away the tail hitting against their side angrily, “Aw~. Come on, it wasn't even that bad. Vil helped you get the green food coloring out so all's good right?”

“What the fuck do you want?”

“I brought a gift~!” Yuu pulls out a bag tied by yellow and orange ribbons. The bag was filled with various kinds of chocolates in the shapes of crowns and lion heads, golden pearls scattered inside. They shove the bag against Leona's face cooing as the beastman glares at them, “Happy Valentine's Day you fucking depressed mess.”

Leona glares quietly. But soon he rolls his eyes, snatching the bag away from Yuu's hands, “I should have killed you when I had the chance…”

Yuu grinned, knocking their head against his shoulder, “But ya didn't!”

“Seven, I hope this chocolate kills me…”

“Oh, I'm not that nice to you…but I do have a second gift!” They reach back into their tote, pulling out a purple velvet bag pulled closed by golden drawstrings. They placed it on Leona's lap, smile turning mischievous as he warily eyed it.

Leona picks up the bag, opening it slowly, tail flicking in curiosity. He looked into the bag, only to narrow his eyes at seeing nothing inside. There was clearly a weight, so it wasn't empty. Normally he'd just tilt the bag over to dump out whatever was inside, but this was his bed and Ruggie just washed the sheets. Instead, he reached inside, grunting as all he felt was powder.

He barely noticed Yuu had left the bed, quickly opening the door as he pulled his hand out of the bag. Leona squints his eyes at the gold dust on his fingers, “What the…” He wipes his hands on his pants, only to widen his eyes at the fine streak of gold glitter left behind, “YUU!”

Yuu giggled from her place at the open door, “Enjoy your bag of gold, your majesty!” Their giggle turning into a cackle as they close the door just in time to avoid Leona launching one of his boots at them.

“RUGGIE, WHAT DO I PAY YOU FOR!?”

Ruggie huffs from the lounge, raising an eyebrow at Jack, neither of them moving as Yuu sprinted to the mirror, “What, he needs a list or something?”

Jack looked at Ruggie in silence before he pulled another chocolate from his bag, “If he asks, I'm telling him you got bribed.”

“Damn, the betrayal of it all…”

~OCTAVINELLE ~

The lounge was in a quiet period, both Azul and Jade in the back office looking over their weekly reports. While it would be briefly closed for the school-wide Valentine’s party they were going to open their doors again in the later hours. A romantic dinner under the sea was simply too good for any couple to pass up. And while it would cut into their own romantic endeavors, Azul was more than willing to make the sacrifice for the increase in sales.

Azul hums, looking through his papers with a furrowed brow, “Jade, do you have the drink sales? I can't find them.”

“Hm…No. I already reviewed them and sent them off to Sam via Floyd.”

A moment of silence passes in the room before Azul puts his papers down, eyes widening once he realizes the time, “Jade, it's been nearly an hour. He should have been back by now.”

“...” Jade looked up, closing his eyes as he sighed. They were so busy today, he had hoped his brother wouldn't cause trouble due to boredom or frustration that he couldn't see his ‘Goldfish’ until later that night. But it seemed, once again, his wishes had gone unanswered, “Would you like me to find him?”

Sighing, Azul shuffled his papers again. That was a disaster waiting to happen. While FLoyd was more prone to chasing his object of affection around, Jade was no better. As Yuu put it ‘Every brain cell starts to function only to get Trey’s attention’, “No. If he's not back in the next hour though, I'll have to deal with the price of losing your assistance-”

Suddenly the door bursts open, Floyd's wide grin the first thing they see, “I brought Shrimpy~!”

The red and white figure clutching to Floyd's back waves, “He brought me~!”

Jade smiles, moving to one side and giving Floyd a space to drop Yuu unceremoniously onto the couch, “Yuu, what a surprise. I assumed you would use the class-free day to sleep well until the PM.”

Yuu rolls their eyes, opening their tote and looking through it, “Oh trust me. I would be. Instead I'm being nice and running around the dorms to deliver cheer to you over-worked losers.”

Azul tilts his head into his palm, raising an eyebrow, “My pearl. I adore you, truly. But if this is one of your ‘pranks’-”

“Oh, my Seven. I do one thing and now I'm labeled as being a danger the second I wanna do anything!”

Floyd hummed, flopping into the opposite couch as he put his feet onto the coffee table, “I mean you did poison like…two dorms in one day.”

“I didn't directly poison anyone, so it wasn't my fault. Now shut up and take your treats.” Yuu grabbed out three bags, throwing them each at their respective owners, “Repayment isn't necessary, but you boys know I take cash, credit, or life debts.”

Floyd looks down at his bag, teal and light purple ribbons tying it closed. It was just…a big ball. It looked like a basketball, which was kind of cool, but looking at Azul and Jade's bags he couldn't help but pout.

Azul looked flustered at the bag. Tied closed with light purple and white ribbons filled with chocolate truffles shaped at Octopi, white chocolate pearlescent shell shapes and purple pearls scattered throughout.

Jade’s bag had the same ribbons as his, the bag filled with the same white chocolate pearly shells and a mix of milk and Dark chocolate mushroom shapes.

Floyd scowls, glaring at Yuu, “Shrimpy this is sucky. Why did you make my chocolate so lame!?”

Yuu only smiled, holding up their hand and making a squeezing motion that only served to make him angrier. Did they wanna be squeezed? Cause he'll do it. Instead, he looked at the chocolate in his hand, growling as he gripped it tighter. Eyes widening at how easily the chocolate gave under his fingers.

He instead started to giggle, eyes sparkling at seeing the basketball was just a shell and inside were the same pearly chocolate shells and even teal luster-dusted fish.

“Aw~! Shrimpy! This is so cool, how'd you make a chocolate shell like this?”

“You gotta make two halves, then melt them enough that the edges stick together. The hardest part is smoothing it out…”

Floyd hums, opening his bag and looking at the broken shell pieces, “Seems easy. I wanna try it.” He stood, ignoring Azul's stern calls about how he was supposed to be helping with the reports.

Azul scoffs, watching Floyd openly ignore him as he leaves the room, “Great, now he's going to play in the kitchen.” He turns to Yuu, shaking his head and sighing, “I really must find a way to weaponize you. I would send you into rival restaurants and it’d be burned to the ground in a matter of minutes.”

“What if it’s underwater?”

“We both know you’d find a way.”

Yuu laughs, patting their bag, “Keep talking about me like I’m a threat and I won’t give you your second present.”

“Oh?” Azul perks up, folding his hands under his chin and smirking, “First the chocolate and now a second present? If you didn’t owe me money, I’d think you were trying to butter me up for a favor.”

Yuu opens their mouth to reply, only to stop hearing a sniffle beside them. Azul and Yuu turn to the sound, Jade’s face schooled into a frown as he pitifully sniffles and wipes at none existent tears.

“...Jade?”

“Oh. Don’t mind me, the least favorite. You two continue to playfully flirt.”

Azul glares to the side, mumbling under his breath with a blush, “We aren’t flirting.”

Yuu smiled and shook their head, “I knew you’d do some shit like this…”

Jade sniffs again, deepening his frown as he tilts his head back, “So sorry, my tears must be bothering you both. I will try to cry more discreetly. Boo, boohoo.”

While Azul sighed at Jade’s theatrics and Jade increased his theatrics, Yuu reached into their tote and slowly pulled out a large toadstool mushroom. They made Jade hold his hand out palm up before gently placing the mushroom into Jade’s hand.

The Eelmer sniffs again, but brings the mushroom closer to his face to examine, “Hm…A lovely Toadstool sample…I suppose this will-” Jade jumps briefly, feeling the mushroom move of its own accord. He watches transfixed as the mushroom’s stem splits to reveal a small body, the top of the toadstool taking the place of a hat as tiny eyes blink up at him, “Oh!”

Yuu gestures to the fairy now sitting contently in Jade’s hand, “This is Franklin. Answer his three riddles and he will lead you deep into the woods to a mushroom patch you have never seen before.”

Jade smiles, his ‘sadness’ quickly forgotten as he and the fairy stare into each other's eyes, “Amazing. To think I would hold one of you elusive creatures in my hands after years of your tauntings!”

Franklin looks into the Eelmer's eyes mildly fearful, only to relax and perk up when Jade hands him a single mushroom-shaped chocolate. Nibbling it thoughtfully as Jade stands from the couch.

“I shall leave the two of you to your devices. Azul, I believe we were due for a break anyway. So if you'll excuse me, I have terrariums to share and riddles to solve.” Jade left just as quickly as Floyd did. A pep in his step and polite enough to close the door behind him.

Yuu stands, walking to Azul's desk and leaning their hip against it as they tauntingly poked his cheek, “And then there was one.”

Azul huffs, but still reaches his hand to hold Yuu's, his thumb lightly stroking the back of it, “Honestly. You joke they're my bodyguards, but they'd leave me to such a predator as you without a second thought.”

“Do you want me to leave?”

“Of course not. You have something of mine don't you?”

“Just because it’s a gift for you doesn’t mean it’s yours the second you know it exists.” But Yuu still hands over a large purple and teal-colored binder. Leaning farther on the desk until they were simply lying on the dark wood, kicking their feet as Azul looked through the binder.

“...” Azul was confused. He had expected something cute and disgustingly sentimental, photos of them or sweet messages of devotion. Instead, the binder started with a stylized page with what he recognized as Yuu’s measurements. Looking through the pages, he only saw photos of clothing, shoes, and accessories of his date-mate's preferred styles. Each photo came with a small tag showing the price and retailer. Flipping through more pages, Azul looks at Yuu over his glasses, “So…How is giving me your wishlist a present to me?”

Yuu smiles, taking a pen from his desk and marking a few hearts on certain photos as he turned the pages, “Well, this is an order guide for you. You buy me things from this handy little book and I’ll wear them for you.”

“Hmm. While I’m content to have an easy guide for the next few gifts I could acquire for you. Again, I ask, how is me buying you clothing a gift to me?”

“Well, I would hope you’d buy me a full outfit, but…” They shrug their shoulders, smiling coyly

Azul raised an eyebrow in question, only to have his expression grow flustered seeing what was on the next page. Lingerie, stockings, all manner of frilly scantily clad things. He brought the binder closer to his face, blue taking over his cheeks the more he turned the pages.

The binder was slammed closed once he reached the more…risque centered lingerie, eyes staring wide at the siren draping themselves across his desk, “...Oh…” He looks at the closed binder on his desk then back to Yuu. Soon he matches their teasing expression, leaning forward to brush their lips against each other, “I'll think about it~.”

The kiss they shared was quick, if only because Azul pulled away to push his chair back from the desk. He pats his thighs, eyes commanding Yuu to sit in his lap. And they do so easily, cuddling into his hold as they straddle him.

“Happy Valentine's Day, Azul~.”

“Happy Valentine's Day, my pearl. I will admit, this is a splendid way to spend my break.” He nuzzles into Yuu's shoulder, kissing along their neck softly as his hands start to wander. Letting out a whine when Yuu stops his hands and pulls away.

Yuu smiles at Azul's disgruntled expression, “Well?”

“...Well, what?”

“I gave you two presents. You gotta give me something if you wanna make out.”

Azul growls, pulling Yuu closer to bring them in for another kiss, growing more frustrated when the magicless mage leans away from his lips. Realizing with their current position he wasn't getting any more kisses unless Yuu leaned back toward him.

He sighs, reaching to open one of his desk drawers, “I'm not giving you my present until the exchange. You can live with being patient. But, my mother sent you a Valentine’s gift so I will give that instead.”

Yuu knew it was the right call to send chocolate to “Mama Grotto”. They just hoped that it'd survive and taste just as good in the sea.

Azul pulls out a flatl wrapped box, offering it to Yuu, “She kept insisting that I tell you I purchased it for you. I couldn't fathom why; you and my mother are on frighteningly good terms…”

Yuu opens the box, gazing curiously as they pull out a simple oyster. With the help of a letter opener and Azul's practiced hands, the oyster was opened to reveal a perfectly rounded teal pearl. Yuu gasps, eyes glittering at the small gem, “OH~! It's so pretty! I love it!”

Smiling, Azul rests a hand against his cheek, the other securely gripping Yuu's hip, “I'm glad. If you may, leave it here. I'll get it fashioned into a necklace for you.” He pushed up his glasses, mumbling under his breath as Yuu poked at the pearl, “Why would my mother insist this was a present from me…?” “Oh! Azul.” Yuu smiled, just on the edge of hysteria as they struggled to speak through their laughter. They had pulled the pearl out of its fleshy cushion, revealing the fact the pearl was already fashioned to be a very obvious engagement ring.

You’re Not Bad, Just a Bit Lost.

Author’s Note: I wanted to see if I can do these two before seeing if I’ll do the others. There will be more later.

Request: Yes

Calm Newt!Mc who's got all house wardens wrapped around. Like, even though after the overblot (for this add Jamil for Scarabia) they still calm and treat them nicely. I really wanna see their affectionate to apologize for risking Mc life. For Malleus, affectionate for not afraid of him!

Warnings: Grammar, a bit of ooc, can be seen as platonic or romantic, & Newt!MC is inspired by Newt Scamander.

Leona

He kept his distance before Chapter 3 and would keep tabs on you through Ruggie or Jack. He wouldn't care too much about running into you since he nearly killed you When you showed up on his doorstep with Jack late one night, asking for a place to stay. He was thinking about letting you stay, but he had his pride and reputation on the line. After that, he woke up in the middle of the night and looked down at you, sleeping on the floor with your jacket draped over you.

He got up and hung your jacket over his chair before placing you on the bed and covering you up. He stared as you slept peacefully and noticed all the little details on your facial features. The small scars and nicks, the somewhat dark circles under your eyes, and such. Such a foolish herbivore, always running towards trouble.

Later, Leona would see your patience and compassion towards others. He would notice your little traits and started to connect the dots that you were more of an introvert, and you were comfortable with Jack opposed to being stiff and awkward with other Savanaclaw students. As your friendship evolved, he noticed you got comfortable with him and would somewhat acknowledge the growing relationship between you two. Leona would start to crash at Ramshackle sometimes to hide from Ruggie/keeping you company. You got used to seeing him pass out on the couch in the lounge in the morning. One night, he woke to hearing a noise coming from the basement and got up to investigate.

Groaning, Leona picked you up and carried you upstairs, ignoring your protests, then to your bedroom before putting you down. He told you to go wash up and change into your pajamas or he’ll change you himself. Right as you disappeared into your bathroom, he collapsed onto your bed and got comfortable before lightly dozing. Opening an eye at the sound of the door opening and you stepped out in your cozy pajamas, he pulled back the covers and patted the spot for you to sleep in. He watched as you got into bed and covered you before falling asleep. You laid there for an hour before trying to get out of bed and immediately, Leona pulled you back and kept you in his grasp. No matter your efforts, you eventually fell asleep and in the middle of your slumber, Leona woke up to see you peacefully sleeping which caused him to smile a bit before covering you up and placing a gentle kiss on your head. From then on, Leona would drag you to the botanical garden so you could catch a few Zs or to take a break and send Ruggie to drop things off to you. He noticed you got comfortable with him and would accept him hugging/ cuddling you, he enjoyed when you scratch his head and around his ears. He would listen to you talking about creatures and appreciated it when you played chess with him. Such a special herbivore you are.

Jamil

After the whole winter break incident, he avoided you and stayed out of the way until he was a part of NRC’s VDC team who were going to be staying at your house. He got to know you more and see your caring nature for your creatures which extended to some people. You would go lengths for people you care about and make sure to take care of them, yet that does not always apply to yourself.

He would occasionally see you around school looking tired and not taking a break as you continued to go along with the constant busy life. He knew that look on your face, of utter exhaustion yet keeps running on a low battery. There was a class period where both classes were working together, and towards the end of the class, you collapsed and almost landed face first before Jamil caught you. Feeling your forehead, it was warm and as he looked at your face, it was flushed. He visited you in the nurse’s office and lightly lectured you about taking care of yourself before helping you walk back to Ramshackle and setting you down in bed to let you rest.

You woke up, feeling something was off, and got up from bed before heading towards the living room as a faint savory aroma caught your attention. Changing your direction towards the kitchen, you prepared your wand for intruders and quietly opened the door to see Jamil, cooking then turned to see you. He turns towards you and points to the plate of food on the island, silently telling you to sit and eat. He turned back to finishing cooking whatever he was as you took a seat, giving the plate a quick look before picking up your eating utensil.

Taking a bite of the food, you immediately are welcomed by a familiar taste that you haven’t tasted in so long as some tears came to your eyes. It’s been so long since you had a taste of home ever since you came to Twisted Wonderland. Memories played as you continued to eat quietly, and Jamil noticed a couple of your tears before he walked over to you.

Jamil wiped away your tears and cleaned your face up while lightly lecturing you about being messy and not eating enough. You looked at him before engulfed in a hug, cutting off his lecture short, and thanked him for the meal. He stayed frozen for a bit before letting out sigh with a small smile on his face and patted your head softly.

Occasionally, Jamil would give you lunch and say that he made extra from making Kalim’s lunch. He gave you the opportunity to try more food and exchange, you would tell him of the many places you’ve gone to which the food reminded you of. You gave him many stories of the outside world that he had not seen before and the fascination of traveling. You offered to bring him along on your travels in the future which he considered going on. Even if he only showed you kindness and friendship, you offered him the world.

This is my first post and it’s gonna be low effort because I swear I can’t get this off my mind—

Do people from twisted wonderland realize how much Azul Ashengrotto could potentially look up at Vil Schoenhiet??? ONLY @jxnebuggy ACKNOWLEDGES THIS IN HER fem!twst FANFICS AND IT DRIVES ME INSANE!!!

Vil is a successful, confident, drop dead gorgeous fashion icon. He has a whole business for cosmetics because he’s so gorgeous. He’s very skilled in potion making, so much so bro makes his OWN makeup. He has a strict diet he follows and it’s clearly gving him the results he wants. Vil Schoenheit is everything Azul wants to be!! On top of that, Vil is Azul’s bloody UPPERCLASSMAN.

And does everyone forget how Azul literally info dumped about the man in Book 5 Chapter 2?? Nobody talks about it. They’re too busy headcannoning Sebek or Riddle or Floyd to be neurodivergent af (jkjk)!! Such a shame Vil told him to stfu but in his own pretty, 3w4-coded ways😔😔

Azul has shown before he will invest inhumane amounts of time into things he thinks are important. An example of this is in his birthday jackect card, he talked in a fair amount of detail about the quality of the pillow Ace gave him. He could do this because he researched ON pillow qualities.

It’s likely when he was trying to step up his game with success or diet, he stumbled upon Vil, researched the frick out of this guy, and lo and behold became a fan of his.

Some honourable mentions are when he made a deal with Vil in his ceremonial robes. I haven’t seen it because I wanna save the feeling of raw happiness with these two characters interacting once I get the card. If we didn’t see Azul show any sort of fan behaviour when Vil made that deal then I firmly believe he was kicking, giggling, twirling his hair off camera behind closed doors over it. Then I do hear in the second Camp Vargas event, Azul and Vil had some more interactions! I thiiiiiiink they were getting competitive with each other??? That changes nothing from my ignorant eye. It’s NRC. Everyone is really competitive and will turn on each other’s backs faster than Leona can fall asleep (bro’s actually depressed, I swear).

Anyway, I think it’s only right I list my headcanons now for them:

Azul gobbles up any dietary/beauty tips Vil has

Azul uses Vil’s makeup brand that’s probably vegan

He also collects Vil’s magazines and puts them all in a box hidden away in his closet or under his bed

Vil probably finds him annoying💀💀💀 (what can I say? he has a reputation for not stfu around higher class people)

Elaborating on that, Vil does respect his success but I bet he can see the unhealthy greed that lies under it all. Thus, that’s prolly a reason why he would try to distance himself away from Azul.

BADLY wants to collaborate with Vil because Mostro Lounge profits would soar if they did. Knowing his bold arse he probably made the request at least thrice and Vil shut him down each time. He’s obviously not gonna stop because we all know him. (never back down never what—)

Yes, I know he canonically looks up to Ursula, but I think he would like someone… yknow… alive to look up to.

Keep in mind I’m only on Book 5 Chapter 29 as of this moment so it’s totally possible I missed some things! Leave your opinions, headcanons, or anything else in the comments, I’d love to see them! Do leave spolier warnings though. That way I can decide whether I wanna spoil things first myself or not.

EDIT: I already fixed it but did I really just say book 6 😭😭😭 i meant book 5 i am so sry hdgdhjjjdhdjj

First and foremost I wanna say congrats on 1,300 Ceru!💖💖💖 You literally deserve every follower and more, your writings are so immersive and well-written and you bring so, so much to this little fandom that you are practically a pillar in my humble opinion! Not to mention you are such a sweet friend and a joy to talk to and interact with! FRFR I’m really happy we met.🥺

Ngl, I’m a bit embarrassed to actually request fluff for Leona Kingscholar... BUT I WANNA SUPPORT YOU BBY SO HERE IT GOES. ATEM (Hopefully this is okay? I like NEVER request things bc I’m too embarrassed.)

Sorta based off my last art? Pre-existing situation-ship? Because of the hectic events that always happen at Night Raven College the two never seem to get time alone to be a “normal” couple. The lion man is so down bad he actually agrees when the Sage Island Diner is suggested after one of his Spelldrive games. They looked so cute cheering him on after all. In fact, he might secretly have a soft spot for these things: vinyl records, vintage movies, and greasy diner food. He’s such a pushover he even finds a used car on the island so he can drive them around on their very first date. Leona never thought he’d be the sentimental type, but when his feisty Cottontail’s gaze softens on him as they slide in his passenger seat, maybe it’s all been worth the trouble. (BRB GONNA GO DELETE MY BLOG NOW.) Love you, Ceru!

Dreamy Day Event

Leona x reader

Leaning back into your seat, leather smooth against your legs. The backrest creaked backwards, slanted for your comfort. The interior reeked of air freshener, the sharp scent stinging your nostrils. It hung from the mirror, dangling loosely. It was loosely modelled in the shape of a leaf, an startling emerald green.

The same colour as the driver’s eyes.

Those emerald pupils flickered up to the mirror, a scar jagging through one of them. As if sensing your gaze, the edges of his eyes crinkled in a smile.

An elbow found it’s way into your arm, jabbing at you playfully. You shove back, huffing. Rapping your knuckles on the wheel, you gestured forward.

“Focus, Leona. I refuse to have that dinner as my last meal.”

A snarky laugh, bursting from the depths of Leona’s gut. A deep chuckle, slightly raspy. It geared against your ears as it echoed through the car.

It wasn’t the most unpleasant sound, honestly.

To your disappointment, his hand didn’t return to the wheel. With a chuckle, Leona drops his arm over your shoulders, a weight pressing onto your form.

Warmth pulses through it, bleeding into your skin. Like daisies in the sun, you muse silently. Despite yourself, you find yourself melting into his touch. Forget daises. You’re a slab of butter, left to the mercy of the gentle, golden rays of the sun.

His hand caresses your skin, fingers tapping into you. A clumsy beat, following the song crackling through the speakers. An old song, with the vocalist particularly purring into the microphone.

Singing about love, of course.

What else?

Retro seemed to be the theme for today. Your gaze flickers to Leona. His outfit certainly reflected that.

A leather jacket, left open over a white shirt. His belt peeked from underneath, a skull of an animal of some sort acting as the buckle. With well-worn jeans and those sharp cowboy boots, Leona looked as if he just stepped out of one of Vil’s photoshoots.

Seating there, behind the wheel, there was just something so… natural about him. You can’t help but find his style oddly charming.

It wasn’t perfectly sculpted, styled to the latest trends. It was a rather simple,casual fit. You let your gaze wander, taking a good look at the man behind the wheel.

It suited Leona well.

A finger poked into your cheek, curling slightly. Clicking his tongue, Leona stroked your cheek much like how one would pet a fluffy little bunny. The ghost of a smirk playing on his lips,ivory white canines peeking out from within.

“Well, aren’t ya going to say anything, cottontail?”

Snorting, your head plops onto his shoulder. Nuzzling up to the crook of Leona’s neck.

“Thank you for the date, you arse.”

Carmel locks of hair brush against your neck, as Leona reciprocates the action. His head rests on yours, ears twitching ever so slightly. Stifling a laugh, you shove him off you.

“That tickles, fur ball !”

Raising an eyebrow, Leona bares his fangs at you. Snapping them playfully, nipping at you. His elbow jabs into your ribs, nudging you gently.

“Nah, nah, there’s something else ya gotta’ say, herbivore.

You know those three magic words, sweetheart.”

With a quick glance outside, Leona brings the car to a complete stop. You glare at him, curiosity burning within your eyes. He only shrugs, shoulders moving in one fluid motion. Raising his hands, Leona shoots you a grin, overflowing with smugness.

“I’m not driving until you say them to me, cottontail.”

Crossing your arms, you fix him with a stern look.

“You’re impossible.”

Barking out a laugh, Leona moved forward, resting his chin on his palm.

“I thought you liked a challenge?”

“No I don’t.”

Leaning in, your hands entangle themselves within those sweet caramel locks of his. Pulling him closer. The tip of your nose grazed his, Leona’s breath wafting over your lips.

“I love them.”

Your eyes met his.

“I love you.”

The corner of his lips twitch upwards. A sappy smile.

“Love ya too, cottontail.”

Greetings, my queen,i bow down to thee. Might I request leona with a desi reader who's selfconscious about her skin tone (cause s such a prevalent problem here ya know)? Feel free to ignore this!

I can't ignore my fellow dark skins feeling insecure! D:<

YOU LISTEN TO ME AND YOU LISTEN WELL!

The darker berries are the sweeter ones. Take that to heart, and keep it with you. Keep your skin vibrant, luv. It's a flex 💅🏾✨️

And as someone who's faced and seen a lot of colorism, I'll tell you, their opinions mean jack shit. You're gorgeous. Get some sun. Keeps your skin healthy. You won't burn like the beauty standard. Your skin is more fit for authentic gold than any.

Colorism is maddening to me. It's funny how the skin that came in and colonized everything, and fucked so many civilizations in the ass is getting glorified like they didn't invade. Make no damn sense.

The Sweetest Berry

It was one of those days...

Just walking about the school, minding your own business.

Truly, you weren't expecting to have to deal with colorism in Twisted Wonderland, but it seems you were dead wrong.

Light skin was glorified here about as much as it is on Earth.

It's viewed as disgusting... unsightly...

Why was it this way anywhere but on Earth?

You wouldn't know.

Maybe those with zero to no complexion were doing a lot of colonizing just as they did on Earth.

Didn't seem to be too farfetched.

Truly, it was annoying to hear about it all day.

"You'd look better if your skin was lighter." Or, "Darker skin just isn't as pretty."

Whatever their reasoning was for disliking it, you didn't care. That didn't make it any less of an insecurity for you.

Now you were sitting alone in the botanical gardens in the shade.

You wouldn't wanna get darker than you already are...

Wait for Leona. That's what you usually did if he wasn't already there.

"Staying in the shade again?"

"Yeah..."

You look up to meet Leona's gaze, him standing in all his glory, skin illuminated by the sun.

Like he was made for it...

He never made fun of your complexion. In fact, he seemed to admire it.

Looking at you, he could tell you were feeling off...

It had just rained recently. Even you wouldn't sit where the mud is if it meant keeping your jacket clean.

Now you had it set under your but, right in that wet dirt.

There was only one reason you'd ever do such a thing...

He approached you and took you in his arms, bringing you out into the sunlight.

"Wait- what are you-"

He silenced you with a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Leona was only so tender with you when you were alone with him... and when he knew you needed it.

You needed someone to be gentle with you now.

The lion settled down in the sunniest area of the garden, hidden by plant life so neither of you could be seen.

"Can we go back in the shade..?" You asked, even though your tone was more... begging in a way.

"You need some sun." Leona spoke plainly.

"Ah, but it's hot-"

"Why do you keep listening to what they have to say about you?"

There it was...

He really knew you too well... Or he was very observant.

Leona never did claim to know you like the back of his hand, but he certainly paid attention.

When he saw you cringe at the boys telling you your skin was unsightly, he sneered.

Who the hell were they, huh?

Even those with the same complexion as you would say it.

Leona hoped you'd defend yourself one day.

Back in his homeland, dark skin was viewed the same way... a lot of people would bleach their skin. Truly, he didn't understand why darker skin was viewed as something lesser, but he certainly didn't care. It was stupid...

"I... I don't know... I just... They're so bothering! And it's what the whole world thinks! Here and back home!"

Leona snorted, barking out a hearty laugh.

"Herbivore... Haven't you heard?"

You furrowed your brows, "Heard what...?"

"The darker the berry is, the sweeter it's juice."

Oh... You hadn't thought about it like that...

It was true. The sweeter berries were the darker ones.

"I suppose you're right..." You leaned against him, "I didn't really look at it from that perspective.."

Leona put an arm around you, keeping you close, "I know this won't fix your insecurity, but it's something for you to think about whenever you do feel this way." He mused, "And don't listen to what those idiots have to say. They're not worth the energy."

That only made you chuckle, "Right."

The End!

Hope this helped! Don't feel ashamed of your skin! Just remember it wouldn't look right if you were any lighter.

The rest of you! This anon is my newly adopted child!

Hello!! Can I request a gn! reader who wants Leona, Jamil, Jack and Malleus's jacket since theyre cold?

Also could I be 🕸Anon?

OMG Yes, of course, You're my first request! Tysm! Leona Kingscholar You and Leona lay in the garden on the bench. He's lying on his back you on top of him his hands resting behind his head, and your head on his chest. It was pitch black, the perfect place for a good night's rest, you insisted that you guys go to his or your room but he insisted it was too warm inside. You glanced over at him, he seemed sound asleep. You had the urge to nuzzle up further into him for warmth, so you did. Not much later a gust of cold air goes by and you shiver. Causing Leona to shift from under you. Yuu: Listen, I know you wanna sleep outside but.. I'm cold, can we head inside?

Leona: No

Yuu: But Leona I'm about to get frostbite over here!

Suddenly Leona swings himself upwards without much warning, causing you to almost fall back onto his legs. Currently, you are on his lap, and he is squirming to take his jacket off. Once it is off he swings it around you pulling you to his chest as he lays back down. Now with his jacket draped over you and his arms wrapped around you, he closes his eyes.

Leona: Goodnight Herbivore.

Yuu: As much as I appreciate it.. what about my legs?

Leona: Don't complain.

You chuckle, and as the night goes on you feel his breathing turn heavy, and light snores can be heard. As you listen to his heartbeat your eyes close and soon enough you too fall asleep wrapped in his arms totally forgetting about the cold.

Jamil Viper

Jamil and you had grown up together, you were Kalim's sibling. Growing up you always did have a little romance going. You knew he hated Kalim but you guys never talked about it. You could relate. Shunned because he was there dear baby boy, and you, were you. Nonetheless, you loved him. One night you were walking down to the Scarabia dorm to visit Kalim and when you passed through the mirror you were met with an aggravated Jamil. Because of how fast he was storming through you had almost fallen back, but luckily he had grabbed your arm stopping you from falling. His face was red from his current anger, but faded as soon as you appeared, replacing the anger, with embarrassment.

Jamil: Yuu.. What are you doing here?

Yuu: Visiting Kalim, Jamil what's wrong?

Jamil:..

Yuu: You don't have to be afraid of talking to me, just cause he's my brother, Honestly.

Jamil didn't say a word, he was afraid if he said anything about Kalim, you'd shun him like his family did. After all, when working for a royal family one trains their child to be obedient and to only say what others want to hear. You want to break that habit and you want him to be honest with you because you love him.

Yuu: Come on I have something that'll cheer you up!

You said with a goofy grin, before he could say anything you grabbed his hand pulling him with you to Kalim's treasure room. You always thought It was stupid to have a room full of treasures in a dorm, did they never hear about a bank account?

Jamil: What are you doing? If you're trying to give me money Kalim already tried. I won't take charity.

He said with distaste. Him and his hot-headedness.

Yuu: No.. I had something else in mind

I said with a bit of a side-eye

Yuu: Carpet, c'mere boy!

You hear some clanging and coins falling and soon enough carpet is in front of you guys closing the space between the two of you rubbing on you like a puppy.

Yuu: OK that's enough! We're gonna go out for a ride ok?

Laughing and out of breath you all step out of the room. Carpet took It's position, and you got on.

Yuu: C'mon Jamil!

Jamil: Yeah, alr.

As Jamil got on you saw him smile. You both got settled and he had his arm around your waist. You guys took off and soon enough you guys were in the sky. The moon shone as the light lit up your features. You, staring off into the distance didn't notice as Jamil put his jacket over you. When you looked over at him and came back to reality you could feel the goosebumps.

Yuu: Thank you, I hadn't even noticed.

Jamil: It's alr, I know you.

He stared into your eyes tightening his grip on your waist.

Jamil: Yuu, You're so beautiful.

With his other hand, he put his hand on the side of your face guiding your lips towards his. That night you two shared a passionate kiss under the stars.

Jack Howl

You two were at The Octavia dorm eating from the new menu they had just come out with. After Jack took a few bites he pushed his plate back, wiping his face off with a napkin.

Jack: Not for me..

He was eating some kind of snail delicacy, that he was obviously not a fan of. And I was trying their new ice cream flavor, mushroom.?

Yuu: I think I'm done as well..

Unusually, it didn't taste bad but after the incident with Ace and Duece, I'll take my chances. After chatting a little longer he called for the check and Azul wandered over.

Azul: Done already are we?

He said as he looked at our unfinished food.

Yuu: It just, wasn't for us.

I said with a bit of sweat forming, I swear I could feel his gaze burning into my soul. Suddenly his complexion completely changed into a smile.

Azul: Sure, it's not for everyone. Worry not, all the money goes to me whether you eat it or not.

Yuu: Yeah..

We finished up paying for the check and wandered out. Once we got outside the cold air had finally hit us. My body immediately reacted and a shiver went down my spine. Jack must've noticed because he started taking off his jacket and handing it to me.

Yuu: But what about you?

Jack chuckled at my thoughtfulness ruffling up my hair.

Jack: The Savana Claw dorm gets really cold at night and with their strict workout schedule, I'm used to it.

Yuu: Well alright, thank you!

You put on his jacket, grabbed his hand, and put his hand in with yours in the pocket, and you guys started walking back.

Malleus Draconia

You were sitting in your room getting ready for bed when you heard a knock on the window. Startled you spin around wide-eyed. Only to find out it is Malleus. You let out a sigh of relief as you open your window stepping back to let him in.

Yuu: Stunataro, what did we talk about?

You look at him with squinted eyes.

Malleus: To use the door?..

Yuu: Yes malleus.

Malleus: But the window was on my way?

Yuu: You can teleport.

Malleus let out a low chuckle.

Malleus: Does it bother you that much?

Yuu: No..

Some blush rose to your cheek. In a quick motion, you saw Malleus take off his jacket.

Malleus: I am sorry child of man, it was inconsiderate of me to come in on such a cold night. I let in all the cold air.

He draped his jacket over your shoulders.

Yuu: Oh no! You misunderstand.-

Malleus: Well I must get going now.. I was hoping for a walk with you but maybe another night not so cold.

He planted a soft kiss on my forehead and instantly I felt warm.

Malleus: That should heat you up, for now, Goodnight, My child of man.

A/N: Welp that's it! I hope you enjoyed it.

Hey :> I'm new on tumblr so idk how to use it properly please forgive me if I do it wrong! I remember really being into twst a long time ago but then I stopped for some reason. Recently, I saw your blog and it inspired me to download it again! So I wanna say thank you so much, your writing's awesome <3 Anyway, I'm just curious - what are your favourite characters in each of the dorms? I know that you like Jade and Rook but what about the other dorms? Sorry if I'm annoying, you don't have to!

Welcome to Tumblr and back to the rabbit hole that is Twisted Wonderland!! 🥳 Hope you have fun with your return and continue to enjoy this blog and my writing~

Here are my favorite characters from each dorm and a quick rundown of why (under the cut because altogether it’s lengthy):

From Heartslabyul: Ace!

My love for Ace is somewhat conditional. He’s my favorite of Heartslabyul largely by technicality because I don’t feel fondness toward any of the others in the dorm unless they’re interacting with specific other characters. For example, I love Trey having to play the straight man in a comedy duo whenever he’s with really “out there” classmates like Rook or Lilia. However, Trey as an individual character isn’t as interesting to me.

Ace can stand strongly on his own. He gets on my nerves at times, but I can appreciate his blunt honesty and I sometimes find myself cheering him on when he’s getting all up in someone’s business. His mischievousness nets him trouble, but I never stay mad at him for too long. Ace has a delicate balance of cheer and cheekiness that wakes me right up and keeps me on my toes!

From Savanaclaw: Leona Ruggie! 😌

I admire Ruggie for his work ethic and how he stays upbeat in spite of his circumstances. He's very street-smart and quick on his feet, which makes him a joy to watch, whether getting up to trouble or throwing quips at his classmates. Moreover, I love how there's a logical explanation as to why he acts the way he does. Having come from an impoverished neighborhood, he values practicality and finding a use for things people would usually disregard or throw away. I really understand where he's coming from. I also find the reason for Ruggie's "greed" to be much more compelling than most other characters with the same vice. For Ruggie, money is a matter of survival and security; he doesn't seek out wealth out of pure gluttony or greed but because he seeks a genuine better future for himself and those he loves. It puts a lot more weight into those "funny haha" moments where Ruggie's talking about how he can't relate to the wealthy.

... *pained groaning* Alright, I’ll cut the bullshit for a second and talk about he-who-shall-not-be-named.

I have an intense l*ve-hate relationship with L*ona. He used to be a character I didn't really care for (mainly because of how poorly written he was in episode 2 of the main story). As new content has come out (especially around episode 6, but no spoilers), I gained a newfound appreciation for him and his growth. I find that I like him best when he's not squandering his potential (although character-wise, I understand why he does) and utilizes his intelligence, and/or acts like a good leader and upperclassman to others. Sometimes there's content where L*ona doesn't even physically appear and it's just others talking about how they admire him or look up to him (Epel's Union Birthday/Birthday Jacket being one such example), and those kinds of lines really get to me 😭 The grumpy old man side of L*ona, his effortlessly sarcastic edge (like when he claims he's a lost child or a delicate prince that bruises easily), and how petty he gets toward his rivals are also fantastically hilarious. When I really think about it, he can be funny but he is also such a complex character (not that the others aren't, it's just that L*ona's kind of complexity is one I find really interesting). It's just... the way he usually presents himself (arrogant, prideful, and lazy) does him no favors in my eyes. It's a matter of personal taste, I just don't like those traits in a character. Every time he opens his mouth, I don't know whether I want to close it for him again or if I should just let him talk anyway despite how aggravating the results may be. It's similar to how I feel about Ace, except with Ace it feels a lot more juvenile so it hurts slightly less (whereas L*ona, a jaded adult, may bruise my own ego lol).

ANYWAY 🤡 I'm not going to say anything more than that because I don't want to prove my friends right about going from hating to l*king someone I basically swore I would never look up to/find attractive.

From Octavinelle: Jade!!

… Do I need to explain why 😂 J-Just read this post… You’ll see… a sneak peek into my brain wrinklies…

FUNNY (?) STORY: My favorite in Octavinelle (and overall in the cast) used to be Azul!! … But then I dropped him for his right-hand man, which is a joke that persists in my circle of friends to this day.

From Scarabia: Kalim!

(Honorable mention goes to Jamil!)

Whether I lean to Kalim or to Jamil depends on my mood, but most of the time I prefer Kalim. Sometimes I feel very motherly, in which case I’ll want to nurture and cherish Kalim. He has the kind of smile I want to protect from deception and bad things. He’s also naive enough where I worry if he doesn’t have someone with the right intentions teaching him, then he’ll fall prey to something nasty 🥲

Other times my patience is wearing thin and I don’t have the energy to “deal” with Kalim and his extravagant wants/needs. In those moments, I find that I relate more closely to Jamil, who is constantly worked to the bone and exasperated (yet has to hold his frustration in for the sake of maintain a professional veneer). Jamil falls into some bodyguard/butler tropes which I usually love, but part of me feels guilty about it since… well, Jamil doesn’t enjoy his position in life. It feels like some of my feelings toward Jamil comes from a place of pity rather than genuine love for him.

From Pomefiore: Rook!

What I love the most about Rook is his positivity and how he smiles even in the face of danger. He helps me look on the (reasonably) bright side of things even if things are bleak. There’s a rare comfort to be found in that, and it has actually helped me cope with some pretty tough situations.

Rook definitely comes off as too excessive in how he expresses himself, but I find it charming (he’s a one-man show!). This, as well as his aforementioned optimism, creates funny contrasts with the other characters—but as frivolous as he comes off, Rook can still mentor and pull through for others when they need him. There’s still so much left untold about him, and I’m really curious to figure out what he’s hiding 🫣

From Ignihyde: Ortho!!

Ortho’s in a very similar boat as Kalim; he’s the (sort of) innocent son I want to protect. I like how supportive Ortho is with Idia—he’s devoted in a way that’s hard to describe with words. Even if Ortho’s “just a robot”, you can tell how sincere his feelings and motivations are, and just how much he cares for those around him. (nxbdnwbdks though I also find it really funny when Ortho acts devilishly and uses his uniquely robotic traits to cause chaos 😂)

From Diasomnia: Sebek!

(A close second place goes to Lilia!)

Sebek has that sweet, sweet duality of looking tough and imposing but actually being a kinda pathetic puppy dog that only wants to be praised also he’s a bodyguard, what’s not to love about that👌 His smile is so cute, absolutely one of the best ones in the game!! I also find Sebek’s personality to be bracing—it's initially very off-putting, but something so familiar about the way he geeks out over his favorite person ever, and how he wants validation from those he admires. Sebek just has a... unique way to communicate (that is to say, he really doesn't), and I think that's pretty endearing.

Another immensely interesting aspect of Sebek is the insecurity surrounding his lineage and his identity fascinates me. This is usually the point that gets him written off by others as being intolerant—and while that’s true, I love the nuance behind it and how that plays into his character. It’s really complex and speaks to similar real-world issues. I’ve actually written a whole analysis on this topic, so I’d encourage you to read if if you’re interested.

I also like Lilia because we exude similar vibes (looking young but acting "old")—but even more than that, he’s the kind of person I want to be. His guardian and mentor role among the students is irreplaceable, and he’s the true “heart” that ties together Diasomnia (I’m a sucker for the found family trope). He’s wise, but he can also kick back and have fun whenever he wants! That’s the ideal retiree life, haha 😂

x jabsjxbskwnw You’ve probably noticed some patterns by now 🫠 I tend to like characters that fall into a few broad categories:

Characters with big brain cells and/or characters that rely on brains before brawn🧠

Characters that are cheerful and/or smile a lot 😊

Characters with strong duality or contrast

“Son” energy characters

Butlers and/or bodyguards in general

【 chapter 6 - something new to lose 】

summary tags: the morning after dun dun dun, liking someone is hard T^T, esp if that person is leona kingscholar, the yearning...the angst... *sobbing*, (ft. a special guest appearance from someone)

word count: 3.6k

author's note: leonayuu is back and angstier than ever ! another chapter that went off the rails but...well, we need some contemplative moments in this fic after all ^^ less cheka shenanigans than usual but ! i hope that you can enjoy it nontheless <3

[ baby it's cold outside series | or read it on ao3 ]

Yuu woke up with a thud. Bleary eyes opened at the sudden pain and they found themselves sprawled up on the ground. A hiss left their lips from the tenderness of their elbow. They sat up slowly so as to not disturb the drowsy fog that still filled their mind.

They glanced onto their bed, finding the two kids still sound asleep— not to mention taking up most of the space on the bed. "No wonder I fell off," They muttered to themselves, wincing as light hit their eyes. That set off a throbbing in their brain. Why was their head hurting so much...?

Yuu gripped onto the railing, a spare blanket thrown over their shoulders as protection against the cold. The room swayed as they walked, yet despite that, they somehow made it to the lounge without falling down the stairs and breaking something.

They spotted a familiar mane of hair curled up on the couch. They blinked, their vision finally steadying.

Oh. Leona. Why was he sleeping here, of all places?

They hesitantly relinquished their blanket, throwing it over the sleeping lion. Maybe it would do them good to get some water...

A warm hand caught their wrist, causing them to jump slightly; turning around to see emerald eyes watching them, "Do you remember anything from last night?"

"Last...night?"

They felt a few memories flashing by. The dinner, the picture, and the fireworks. And then the kitchen, the refreshing taste of cold juice...that definitely wasn't just juice. That damn bird . They could feel the trace of Leona's hand on theirs in the dark. And then what? Their mind completely ground to a halt; the throbbing getting worse the more they tried to think about it.

"Headache?" Leona's voice was closer now, and he had stood up while they were thinking.

"Mm," They hummed as the beastman handed the blanket back to them.

"Who's taking care of who now..." Leona muttered as he walked into the hallway. "You stay there." Yuu nodded though he couldn't see them, opting to poke at the ashes of the fire to make it just a little warmer. They manage to lug over a log, letting the fire rekindle as Leona returned.

"Ugh, I'm going to throw up," Yuu grouched as they took small sips of the water he brought them.

"Wanna roast up that old bird when he comes back from his vacation?" Leona asked, his knee brushing against theirs as they sat.

Yuu gave him a side eye, "I'll start the fire, and you capture him?" Leona made a sound of agreement before a peaceful silence lapsed between them.

What exactly was it that Leona was asking about earlier? Did they perhaps throw up all over him? Or did they say something incriminating? They swallowed, hoping that nothing happened. Because if it did, and Leona knew about the feelings they tried to keep locked up inside...

Yuu stood up abruptly, grabbing their jacket and phone from where they left them behind. Maybe a walk would do them good. It would clear their head too. They could feel Leona's gaze on them as they messed around with their sleeves, opting to ignore him.

"And where are you going, servant?" Leona called out, just as they entered the foyer.

"This servant has to attend to their duties," Yuu picked up on the joke naturally. "There's plenty of leftovers in the fridge for all of you to eat, I'll take a walk and be back to Savanaclaw."

"You're leaving me alone with those two brats all morning?" Leona's head popped into the hallway in a way that was almost endearing. "What kind of service is that?"

"You can get the ghosts to help you," A smile toyed at their lips. "It wouldn't be a stretch for the great Leona-sama to order around some mere ghosts, right?"

"You..." Leona rolled his eyes before ambling up to them. "At least take some medicine before you go. I'm not about to go fish you out of the snow if you end up fainting."

They drank the medicine. Then they obediently waited as Leona fussed around them for a bit, complaining about how lightly dressed they were and wrapping a scarf around their neck. Before finally…finally they were deemed fit enough to leave.

Leona was being surprisingly...gentle. And that was weird, considering that they weren't hurt or injured, nor did they do something particularly nice for him. Rather, it was the opposite, with how he had to watch the two kids. A gentle Leona Kingscholar was fairly rare after all.

Not that Yuu disliked it. They buried their nose into the scarf as they walked, hiding their wide smile. It was nice. Suspicious, but nice all the same. They couldn't help the way the euphoria tumbled into the crevices of their lungs as they walked. There was just...something really enjoyable about spending time with the person they liked.

As Yuu finished up their morning tasks, they popped into the kitchen, grabbing a few ingredients to cook lunch with. They walked back to Savanaclaw with a skip in their step.

They knock on the door, traipsing into the room, "Your humble servant returns from their treacherous journey through snowy lands!"

"Yuu-tan! I thought you disappeared!" Cheka was already clinging onto their legs with genuine happiness. "Even though Grim-tan and Ojitan said you'd come back, I didn't know where you went..."

"Of course not," Yuu reached down, lifting the cub into the air. "I had a few little things to take care of. And I had to prep stuff for lunch."

"And?" Leona's voice sounded fatigued. "Did you make sure to bring enough meat, servant?"

"Of course!" They proclaimed, turning toward Leona with a smile. "I would never forget the mo—"

Leona's back was to his window, casting him in shadow. There was something oddly familiar in the languid way he sat, his eyes watching over them, just like...

Last night.

"You don't even like me," Leona's expression shifted into one of panic as they leaned into his space just a little bit more.

"I do like you," The feelings in their chest positively bursting as they held his hand tight. "'S why we're here together, right?"

….No way.

Yuu abruptly turned away, Cheka squealing at the sudden movement. The embarrassment made them burst into flames, heat singing their cheeks. No way did they actually do that last ni—

"Oi, are you ignoring me?" A sound of something being set down, and they had to stop him from coming up to them and seeing.

"N-no, I...I got a big cut of steak for you today," Yuu rushed out, pressing a finger against their lips towards Cheka.

Cheka, who was staring at them confused, "Yuu-tan's red. Is Yuu-tan sick?"

"No, no, I'm...fine," Yuu turned slightly. Seeing that Leona was focused again, they made their way to the couch right behind him. "What have you been doing while I was away?"

"Mm! I've been a good lion!" Cheka puffed out his chest. "Look! I drew lotsa drawings of what we did for Mama and Papa! And I drew some drawings for you and Ojitan too, ehe~"

"That's...so cute," Their hands grazed over the painstakingly crayoned drawings of their activities. "And Leona-sama? What has he been doing, young master Cheka."

"Hehe~ Are we playing again? Ahem!" Cheka cleared his throat before he continued talking in a mock serious manner. "Ojitan told me not to bother him, since he's doing his work. Before that we finished all the good food that was in the fridge with Grim-tan."

"Uwah, all of it?" Yuu would've said that it was impossible but...this was Leona Kingscholar. They also had to give Grim’s bottomless stomach some credit too. And Cheka did have his voracious appetites after playing a lot.

"Mmhm! We're lions, so we're very good at eating!" They patted him on the head, pulling out a few fresh sheets of paper for them to draw on. Yuu spun a pencil in their hands, drawing a few small doodles before taking another glance at Leona.

Was that why he was being so nice? That... incident? Yuu pressed a hand to their forehead for their absolute stupidity. It was yet another reminder not to drink or eat anything without inspecting it clearly here in Twisted Wonderland. Yuu never said anything incriminating, per se, but asking to kiss the Leona Kingscholar... Wasn't that just being really obvious?

"-ore. Oi, herbivore. Ignoring your master again?"

Their shoulders jumped, their pencil scattering away from them as they turned to Leona, "H-huh? Sorry, I was...distracted."

Leona doesn't say another word. Instead he pushed back his chair, picking up a handful of papers. He flopped into the empty space next to them, long legs crossing over theirs.

"You're heavy," Yuu blurted, frowning as Leona settled closer to them. "Is this payback for ignoring you?"

"Let's say it is," Leona waved the papers in front of their face. "Just check this."

"This is...?" Their eyes widened as they saw the papers. Each and every question was filled in with Leona's annoyingly impeccable writing. From the calculations for all the Applied Alchemy packets to the rest of the Magic History packets...

Their gaze shifted to Leona in amazement, “Okay, this is just plain impressive, how did you…?” The beastman was already staring at them, preening in their praise.

There was a dangerously familiar smirk on his face, "I finished everything early, right? I want a prize."

"A... prize? " Yuu's mind traitorously brought up last night's memory once more before they beat it back with a metaphorical stick. They swallowed as Leona's hand drifted to the back of their neck, idly toying at their hair. He didn't say anything as if deep in thought.

"Hey," Leona's voice was low when he finally spoke to them. "I'm sleeping for the rest of the afternoon. And you're coming with me." A sigh of relief stuttered out of them, and they pressed a hand to their chest.

"What're you getting nervous over?" Leona's ears twitched as he yawned. He swung his legs off theirs. "Just hurry up and get to bed."

"Ooh! Can I join the nap?" Cheka chimed in, and Yuu fought not to flinch. They had almost forgotten that there was a child in the room.

"Of course you can," They gave Cheka a wobbly smile as they made their way to the side of the bed. Leona was already monopolizing half of it as his tail lifted in the air lazily.

He grunted as Cheka bounced on the bed excitedly and they awkwardly shuffled onto the bed. They didn’t know how to conduct themself now after everything. "Yuu-tan? You're not coming in the blankie?"

And now there were two lions staring at them. Great. They slipped under Leona's blanket, feeling Cheka's warm hands tugging them closer and closer to where Leona had himself propped up.

"Stop squirming, both of you," The beastman grumbled, using his hands to tuck the blanket around Cheka's shoulders. "We're napping, not rolling around in bed."

Cheka calmed down soon after that, rambling about how comfortable and soft the bed was. He fell asleep with his little fingers fisted in Leona's shirt. They patted the kid's head, smiling lightly at the sight.

"Herbivore," Leona's voice was awfully loud in the silence of the room, even if he was speaking barely above a whisper. "So you remember?" Those emerald greens held a demand in their depth, and Yuu felt like they were getting caught in that stare.

"I...don't know what you're talking about." It was dumb, really, since obviously, Leona remembered everything. And Leona was smart. He could put two and two together if he really wanted to. But there wasn't any harm in denying it a bit longer, was there? If only to shield themself from a broken heart.

"You remembered everything that happened last night just after you came back," There was a conviction in the way he said it; as if he was sure it was fact. "You've been avoiding my eyes every time you catch me staring."

Insistent fingers cradled their chin, tilting their face towards Leona's own, "Where's that smart mouth of yours now?"

Yuu pushed a hand against Leona's face, "Ugh. You...just leave me alone for a second..." They hid their face in their hands, their heartbeat getting faster and faster. They really did get caught.

"I'm a very patient hunter, but," Leona sounded like he was leaning in now. "It sure was fun to have to take care of my servant all night. Against my own will."

They directed a withering gaze at him then, "I'm sorry about that part okay! It wasn't like I planned for it to happen."

"And for the other part?" Leona urged; a touch of desperation in his question. "Are you going to apologize for that part too?"

Yuu bit their lip. They knew exactly what would happen. If they did apologize, Leona would think that they were lying. If they didn't apologize, then they would be admitting that they liked Leona in that way.

But Sevens, it was deeper than that wasn't it? Yuu felt it burrowing into them from the start of this whole upside-down contract. It just wasn't possible for them not to love Leona Kingscholar a little by now. They had fallen, a little too quickly and slowly; all at once. Like honey dripping down the side of the jar, the feelings made a sticky mess out of Yuu's heart in a way they couldn't erase.

And faced with him— that very object of their tortured affections— Yuu didn't know what to say. It would be easy to admit it. No, admitting it was never the problem. The problem was what came after they admitted it. The problem was how it was going to change how Leona saw them, and how they acted around each other. The problem was...they were just a little too sure that their affections wouldn't be returned.

Not by someone like Leona, who deserved someone better than a normal human like them. The Leona who was destined for greatness, if only the world would shine its merciful spotlight on him just one more time. The Leona whose embrace was a little too warm for someone like them that couldn't give him anything in return.

So they did the only thing that they could do.

Yuu averted their gaze, "Aren't we here to sleep...?"

They tried not to notice the way Leona's expression shifted, a frown marring his face, "So you'll avoid the question." Instead of sounding mad, Leona sounded...resigned. As if somewhere in that brilliant mind of his, he already thought of this possibility happening. Guilt clawed at Yuu's throat as they left the silence be.

"...Alright," Leona's hand landed on their head and the gesture made them feel like crying. "Just promise me this. Answer me truthfully next time I ask."

"As long as you aren't about to ask me the question again right after this," They willed an awkward smile on their face, and Leona's hand lifted from their head; followed by a huff.

"I wouldn't waste my chance," There was this expression on Leona's face; one that they haven't ever seen before, like his face didn't know what kind of expression to make either. And Yuu was sure it was mirrored on their face too.

It would be nice if they could continue this twisted dance of theirs, two steps forward and one step back; barely holding on to each other as they spun. Yuu thought that they would be the one tempted to take just one step closer, but it seemed that Leona was the one that had the courage. And if they never get their rhythm back again...?

"Sleep well," They managed to say before they turned around. "You've worked hard." Leona gave no answer. It was hard to fall asleep, and they thought they wouldn't have. But maybe it was the steadiness of the two sleeping right behind them that lulled them into slumber. And in sleep, they finally unfurled the hand that had been clenched right over the heart they were trying to protect.

[ omake : keeping secrets and treasures ]

Leona woke up with a frown. He could hear the annoying and incessant vibration of his phone; abandoned somewhere on his desk. He groaned, stretching out a hand to grab it. The sun looked like it would be setting soon as lidded eyes fixed themselves on his phone screen. Falena's name repeatedly flashed at him and Leona half-wanted to throw the phone out of his window.

A small noise of complaint drew his attention. The herbivore. Right. They were asleep right there, facing him this time. He poked their cheek lightly and, yup, with that frown that was definitely them. They were...sleeping on his arm. He couldn't feel it at all, but Leona didn't care. Cheka was also nuzzled into his chest, and Leona had to wonder: was he really that comfortable to sleep on?

He dragged his fingers across the screen, turning down the volume before answering. Falena's voice still made his ears flatten, "Younger brother! Is that you Leona? Or— Could it be? My dear mtoto was the one that answered?"

"Put away that tone," Leona hissed lowly. "What do you want? The brat's sleeping."

"Oh! Oh, sorry....can we do a video call? I want to see my mtoto." Leona could picture the way Falena's ears would probably droop slightly as he said those words.

Leona glanced at the herbivore again before sighing, "Fine. Give me a sec." He placed the phone down, grabbing the far end of the blanket and flinging it over the herbivore's figure; just enough so they weren't too visible.

He couldn't help but yawn as he opened the front camera, shoving it close to Cheka's face, "There. You satisfied? You're gonna see him tomorrow anyway."

"He looks so cute when he's sleeping," Falena cooed. "Malkia wangu! Look! I've got Leona on video call."

Leona watched as his Oneesama walked into frame, clearly in the middle of some sort of discussion with her attendants, "You're taking care of my child?"

"Of course. He's getting fed and he plays a lot," Leona said, though it was mostly the herbivore that was taking care of Cheka. But that was on his behalf, and he indulged in the both of them too often anyway...

Oneesama nodded, "I'll pick him up myself tomorrow."

"There's no need for tha—" A head rammed right into his jaw, causing him to growl.

"Papa! Mama!" Cheka's shrill voice made Leona's ears flatten for the second time that day. "Ohhh, I've missed you!" The cub waved enthusiastically, shifting so that he was sitting by Leona's head. He handed him the phone and the boy chattered happily to his parents.

Leona let his focus wander, his eyes drifting to the slightest peek of their head from under the blanket. He let out a sigh, the troublesome fondness filling his chest once more. He really needed them to tell him if they felt the same or not. Even if they were too good for him, couldn't Leona let himself be selfish for once?

He tugged them a little closer. Leona was so very close to being sure that they liked him too. Yet the shadow of doubt still lingered. Watching the conflict play out on their face earlier was almost painful. If only he knew what was going on in that mind of theirs. If only he could hold them like this when they were awake, and stop them from drifting away.

"Leona? Who are you looking at?" He dragged his eyes back to the screen, seeing that Cheka was looking at him too. "Don't tell me...is there someone else there?" His brother's eyes sparkled and his Oneesama looked far from disinterested. Shit.

Cheka beamed, "Ah, that's—"

"None of your business," Leona grabbed his phone, tilting it so that his pesky older brother couldn't see the herbivore. "Make sure to come on time tomorrow. And don't. Come. Here." He turned off the call and tossed his phone onto the bed somewhere, closing his eyes.

"How come you didn't tell Papa about Yuu-tan?" Right, the brat was still there. He wracked his brain for a suitable explanation before opening his eyes.

He held up a finger, "The herbivore's a secret between you and me, okay? Don't mention it to Fale— your Papa. Or else he wouldn't stop bothering me about it."

"Ooh, a secret!" Cheka nodded, an oddly serious expression on his face. "Since Yuu-tan's your best friend, you want to keep them a secret from Papa. I get it, it's like hiding your treasures."

Leona paused before conceding, "Yeah. They're my treasure, so I get to tell your Papa about them. Your job is to keep it a secret until then, alright?"

"Okay, hehe~" Cheka mimed zipping his lips. "I promise, I won't tell anyone." And with that, the chatterbox buried himself back between himself and the herbivore. He clicked his tongue, but he couldn't get mad. After all, the brat cared for the herbivore almost as much as he did. (Almost. Leona wouldn't lose in terms of affection for his herbivore.)

Cheka let out a giggle when Leona turned on his side. Leona shushed him before turning his contemplative stare onto the herbivore. Tomorrow marked the end of Cheka’s visit. With Cheka gone, they wouldn’t have any excuses to avoid him. Leona would be getting an answer out of them, one way or another.
