Silbek first date thoughts? 👀
The funny thing to me about Silver and Sebek's relationship is how they're that couple who have been together forever but just don't realize it, so I will have to interpret this as "first date once they realize that they have been a couple all along but now there's a new layer to their already complicated relationship."
Silver would not expect anything special. All moments with Sebek are special in their own way, and he has very simple tastes. But he is now on the spot for coming up with an idea that would let Sebek know that Silver takes this new-but-not-new relationship seriously. (Which he had not even considered until his well-meaning friend and classmate Kalim asks where they went for their first date.)
Cue asking said friend and classmate for ideas, only to be inundated with elaborate plans involving parties and food and parades and typically the same sort of over the top ideas Kalim has for everything - and Silver certainly does not expect Kalim (read: Jamil) to do this for him! He appreciates the suggestions, and, as is typical of Silver, he thanks Kalim for the suggestions and offers of assistance. He tells Kalim that he now has an idea of where to start (because he is struck by the realization that Sebek's need for recognition and validation would extend to their newly sorta-relabeled relationship).
Spoiler: he really has no idea.
Meanwhile, Sebek is the romantic of the two of them. He will certainly not ask his fellow first-years for advice on this - he knows Silver! He needs no assistance, least of all from these humans!
But perhaps it comes up because he has zero poker face and he's been pensive all day and frowning and irritable more than usual.
Once they sus out what is troubling Sebek, they give him typical ideas like dinner-and-a-movie, or going to an amusement park, or paint ball (which Sebek perks up a little at once the mechanics are explained, but this is hardly a challenge to either of them after Master Lilia's training!).
Not only that, but Sebek is a romantic. What is romantic about attacking each other with balls of paint? Or dining together, when they do that every day already?
What would Malleus do?
(Sebek decides that if Malleus were to go on a date, he would deservedly be the recipient of all the planning, so this train of thought does not help him, either.)
Naturally, their regular schedule of training and schoolwork and club activities does not change as they both consider what they might do for this first actual date.
The woodland creatures do their best to help, as they know something is bothering Silver. They bestow upon him gifts of flowers, and one afternoon, when he's walking with Sebek, they fashion a couple of tiny crowns for them both. This annoys Sebek because it is messing up his hair, even if it is rather adorable on him.
(Silver apologizes, but he can't stop smiling as he helps Sebek fix his hair, and that smile is a gut punch to Sebek, who vows anew that he WILL come up with the perfect date idea, just you wait!)
Lilia, naturally, notices that they have both been not quite themselves, and he asks Silver if anything is bothering him. When Silver says no, he's just been trying to think of what he and Sebek can do on their first date, Lilia is rather surprised that neither of them have had this "first date" experience (they are always together, and Lilia has provided them with so many opportunities to strengthen their bond!).
But Lilia is in the Pop Music Club, and what better opportunity than attending a concert together! Naturally, Kalim is onboard, and Cater will take care of all the promotion of this concert, and of course Silver and Sebek will attend (as Malleus' guards, of course. Malleus was PERSONALLY INVITED by Cater and even teasingly pretended he might stay still long enough for Cater to snap a photo. Which of course, he did not.)
Since Malleus is happy, Silver and (especially) Sebek are happy. The concert is, of course, a bit all over the place genre-wise (never assume Lilia will resist the opportunity to be a bit screamy).
Malleus is the one to suggest that Sebek and Silver dance together - it is only at his insistence that Sebek is convinced to leave his side - and the concert ends prematurely because Lilia cannot resist livening things up in an effort to push his son and his student together a bit more. (Sorry, speakers, at least Kalim can afford to repair them).
Silver and Sebek are on immediate alert, breaking apart and searching for Malleus, with Sebek lamenting ever having agreed to dance with stupid Silver in the first place. (Malleus, in the meantime, has disappeared as he has mistaken this abrupt ending as the actual end of the concert and has disappeared, as he is wont to do).
It isn't until the next day when Malleus asks them at breakfast how their date went that Silver and Sebek even think of that as having been a date, but since Malleus has defined it as such, it must be!
Sebek loudly proclaims it a success, but is blushing, and Silver agrees with one of those smiles he reserves just for Sebek.
Lilia asks who initiated their first smoocharoo and Malleus looks confused at first but is immediately curious as well.
Silver takes advantage of this to lean over and kiss Sebek on the cheek before smugly announcing "I did."
(That totally does not count as a "smoocharoo," Sebek insists, because their lips did not touch, and he is so invested in arguing his point that he almost misses Lilia and Malleus getting up from the table to go to their first class.
Later that day, after Equestrian Club, when Silver and Sebek are stabling their horses, Sebek makes sure to initiate their first "real" smooch.
But only to prove Silver wrong and not because he actually wanted to or anything.)

Hey Yume, some of your one shots have the boys being really rough on the poor reader. How would they react if they wound up ALMOST killing reader because of their rough treatment? Would their behavior towards Reader change?
*SINFIC CH. 10 FLASHBACKS a-about that, Honey...ヽ(;▽;)
Riddle and Malleus would feel their own hearts skip multiple beats that it actually hurt. They drop everything that their holding, probably their staff, and every action that could bring further danger to you would be ceased immediately. They’ll quickly check you in every angle to see if you’re injured anywhere else and would try to talk to you just to make sure that you’re still breathing, looking closely you could clearly see the look of fear in their eyes. Riddle would probably panic real bad while Malleus would remain quiet, but the beating of his heart is deafening. They’ll stumble over their own words when given the chance to talk to someone (Trey/Lilia) as they try to explain what happened.
This would probably alert their paranoia in the coming future, fearing that something similar might happen again and would one day take your life in an unfair way. They would be a lot more gentle, and in Riddle’s case, would lower down his resitrictions to make sure you won’t suffocate with them too much. They’ll make sure this won’t happen again, but they’ll become more protective, that’s for sure.
Trey, Ruggie, Jamil, and Silver aren’t usually the types to be rough with their Darlings, but for the sake of this ask, let’s just say that you did something that really ticked them off, causing them to act like so. Since these are the characters that has their emotions kept under control most of the time, they’ll most likely won’t recognize how much strength they have used against you. This would result into their own surprise as they realized that their Darlings barely responded and was at the brink of passing out because of it. They’ll immediately have their guard up, quickly running to your side to inspect whatever injury you’re suffering from. All jokes and silliness would be wiped away from their faces as they tend to you in all seriousness, talking to you so you wouldn’t fall completely unconscious and god forbid, never wake up again.
They may sound calm when they’re tending to you, if your injury is something that they can’t handle alone, they’ll have no problem calling someone who’s a lot more professional than they are. Their words are clear and no trace of nervousness can be heard, but that’s just in your and other people’s perspective. Looking deep into their hearts, it’s racing so fast that it can’t even put into words. They know what they did wrong and for the first time since they got you, they felt actual fear that they might’ve lost you right then and there. They’ll apologize to you right after, smiling at you, saying how everything was their fault.
Of course, this will motivate them to do better next time, to keep their emotions calm no matter how intense the situation may be for the both of you. Because you never know, there might never be a next time around.
Ace, Cater, and Floyd are the types that wouldn’t notice their sudden fit of strength at first. Whether they got too excited, angry, or irritated, they won’t notice how much they have hurt you the first time. If you’re not responding, Cater and Ace would probably dismiss it as you being uncooperative, Cater might even fake a sulking personality saying how “teasing him is so mean”. However, someone like Floyd wouldn’t appreciate getting ignored by his Darling so if say, you lost consciousness during this time around, expect that he’ll try shaking you awake, possibly even rougher than before as he expects you to constantly tend to him in his every needs. But everything would change for these three men when you either start to bleed from an injury, your breathing slows down, or your completely unresponsive no matter how much they try to shake you awake.
They’ll all probably have similar reactions, they’ll call out for you gently at first, trying to wake you up and saying that what you’re doing isn’t “funny”. Eventually, they’d come to understand that this was no prank, you’re really losing every bit of your life right in front of them and that immediately place a heavy weight of panic upon their shoulders. They would curse both yourself and themselves as they try to tend for you, clearly unaware of what to do. Floyd would most likely call Jade or Azul, whining how Little Shrimpy’s “not moving” anymore while Ace and Cater might do the most reasonable act and take you to a nearby hospital. After this crisis had been averted, I think that although they may have the similar reactions, they’re behavior right after would vary from each character.
Floyd and Ace will most likely bring that blame on yourself, Ace especially saying how things happened the way it is because you’re so stubborn and that you’re not following his orders at all. You just won’t expect an apology from Ace at all, but deep down inside he knows that he’s the one who’s guilty but just can’t admit it himself. Floyd, on the other hand, will also put the blame on you but not in the way you think he would. He’ll most likely blame you because of how you made him feel throughout that whole ordeal, that it’s Little Shrimpy’s fault that he’s this worried and anxious now. He doesn’t blame you for what happened to you, in fact, I think he does realize that he’s the one at fault and would even apologize, although he sounds like a child saying sorry to another child he stole a crayon from.
And now, we have Cater, who would definitely recognize his own faults but covers it up with a smile as he apologizes in such a half-assed manner. You, as his Darling, would have a hard time believing him even though the guilt is practically eating Cater on the inside. He’s just not really that honest with himself, plus such a dark atmosphere is not something he’s good at handling, you know? But he made extra sure that you can see how serious he is when he said that he can change his ways, that he’ll control himself from now on so that was at least something. As for Ace and Floyd, they wouldn’t really change all that much after everything is all said and done, except for a few hesitance here and there, not wanting for the same situation to strike again.
At least they’re doing their best, yeah?
Deuce, Jack, Epel, and Sebek are characters that are generally rough when they get too ahead of their emotions, even if they try to control themselves. But sometimes, things happens and they get a bit too far in line and almost immediately, once they hear an unusually loud gasp of pain from you, that’s when they know that they did something very wrong. Just seeing your weakened form would automatically shift their realization to their own strength and how rough they had been, however before they could even apologize, what they did had unfortunately already happened. Deuce especially would try to tend to you with whatever he can, panicking the most out of the four as he tries to remember what he could do at this dire moment. Obviously, he can’t treat your wounds like how he recklessly does his in the past after a brutal fight so he would probably result into calling a senior or a nearby hospital if the injury looks too risky.
Epel would panic, but a little less than Deuce at least as he would remember all the herbalism lessons he received from Vil, and what kind of treatment he should do with such injury. Despite everything, he’s still a Pomefiore student who prides himself with potions along with everyone else, right? He’s determined about which potions to give you, all those hellish training he received must’ve prepared him just for this moment. Of course, when things goes to down south and he isn’t able to act up fast enough, he’ll suck up his pride and go to either his Vice Dorm or Dorm Leader themselves for some help. Jack and Sebek would have similar reactions though, but of course, Sebek would be the one to panic first.
Sebek will check if your situation is something he can handle first, calling out to you with his usual loud voice, slowly getting frightened that his tone was doing nothing or even lifting your consciousness back up. Sebek doesn’t trust any other humans to take care of you so he’ll probably go to Lilia during times of desperation, explaining loud and clear what happened and humbly asks for his help. Meanwhile, Jack is the type to be calm on the outside but that single strand of sweat down his forehead shows how nervous he really is on the inside. He’ll do everything he can to save your situation, trying to ignore the overwhelming guilt in his heart for now as he takes you to a nearby hospital. Yes, he’s calm but he still might end up blowing a fuse and growls aggressively when a staff member asks too many questions since he’s so anxious that they you might not make it if they don’t take care of you right away.
Overall, I think all of them but Sebek would have similar reactions and outcome right after. They’ll apologize and would promise to you that something like this won’t ever happen ever again and that they’ll take care of you better. Sebek however, would be quite stubborn about it, shifting the blame on you for being too “weak” to handle something like that. Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s not guilty himself, he won’t openly show it but along with all the other three, they’ll become a lot more protective than they used to be, shielding you from anything that’s harmful. They’ll be a little less overbearing and could even give you a bit more freedom despite their own paranoia if you really want to.
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can take advantage of that, okay?
Leona is aware how rough he is with you, that’s just his overall nature as a beast after all. Though, you might not notice this time around, but he actually tries to hold back whenever he can to accomodate to your needs, so that you wouldn’t break so easily within his hands. But today does not seem to be the day, control was not added to his list this time around. Clicking his tongue as soon as he noticed the alarming difference in your breathing and heartbeat, he’ll most likely throw his phone at Ruggie or Jack to call the nearby hospital along with his wallet too, though he doesn’t like the thought of handing you over to someone, even if it were medical professionals. If there’s a healing potion nearby, he’ll quickly snatch it up, read the first label, before shoving it down your throat without even reading the rest of the potion description.
...Now, you might see him as reckless and even more aggressive than before when you were fine, but you have to understand. This was desperation he’s feeling, there was no way in hell he’ll admit it but the moment he felt your heartbeat slow down, his emotions dropped down in an alarming rate too, you know? So, of course he’ll be this aggressive when trying to save you from a life or death situation. There was just no way that he’s going to let you go out like this, death doesn’t even have the right to take you away from him. Of course, despite everything, this doesn’t really change his ways after everything’s all said and done, you know?
An apology just doesn’t seem like something that would come out of Leona’s mouth anytime soon so, I don’t recommend expecting anything. In fact, he might even get angry at you, saying things like how you took way too long to recover and won’t even give you time to protest back. But he’s aware that he’s at fault at least, he accepted it actually, but frankly, he just doesn’t care if you see him as a villain or anything lik that. He’ll still treat you with the same roughness and aggresiveness as before, but somehow you began to notice how his bites doesn’t seem to dig as far beyond your flesh that it bleeds anymore, it was just enough to cause a mark now. You don’t even dare to mention how cuddling time seems to last longer than it should’ve had.
Situations like these might bring Azul and Kalim to tears, realizing that their actions had gone too far for your body to handle. They’re quick to use all the healing elixirs they had and Kalim would immediately call for Jamil’s assistance while Azul calls for the twins. Some potions takes a while to take in effect, it’s a fact that they knew however just can’t tolerate the thought of sitting there and not doing anything, Azul most especially. They’ll call for multiple doctors that they had personal connection with, Kalim would even call for doctors that works for the royal families and doesn’t care how much he’ll have to pay them even if it means saving his Darling. Azul would be the type to yell at each doctor to hurry the hell up before it’s all too late due to panic, so different from his usual calm self.
Their behavior changes quite similarly with each other as they would both apologize to you over and over again, their arms wrapped around you as if you’ll disappear once they loosened their hold. This is probably going to traumatize both of them and will become even more protective than they ever did with you, watching everything you do in anticipation of another dangeous situation. Kalim has a better grasp over his emotions since he listens to you better and promises to never become rough with you ever again, but he’ll stay with you for the majority of the time, granting everything you could wish for and to make sure that you’re being taken good care of. But good luck trying to talk you way out with Azul though, this man is a bit more unhinged when it comes to his emotions. He won’t listen to your suggestions because he only believes in the things that he thinks is right for you.
Although Azul promised you that he won’t be as rough next time, you have a feeling that this uncontrollable paranoid feelings of his would be the exact thing that would ultimately lead him to break his own promise.
Jade, Rook, and Lilia would be surprised but not at all panicked, these are the characters that knows fairly well how nimble human life could be and had already prepared for situations like this. They’ll carefully tend to you and fix what they did wrong, soothing your pained expression in a matter of minutes, since they’re so used to this by now. They’ll apologize right after, feeling genuinely saddened by what happened to you as an outcome of their own selfishness, but I don’t think they’ll change their ways anytime soon. It’s disturbing to think that they might even do it again for all we know, just to observe what will happen and to know how far they can really go. But they’ll have to make sure to be very careful the next time they try though, they won’t like you broken after all. A terrifying thought, isn’t it?
It might capture Vil off-guard at first, the way his Darling suddenly weakened for receiving too much punishments, but it was nothing to worry about when he’s this talented when it comes to elixirs. With just a single drop, he’s confident that he can clear you all off your pain and injuries would go away just like that, if you’re a good girl that is, but of course, he’ll use it when it’s a life or death situation...Unless the potion doesn’t work, then that would be a different story which would lead Vil to immediately contacting the nearest hospital. I think Vil would definitely realize his own faults here and apologize to you right after, but expects you to learn your lesson as well. It doesn’t really change the way he acts towards you but he’ll certainly become a lot more careful in the future.
Idia wouldn’t know what to do and panic with tears prickling around his eyes as the blue flames that is his hair roared in anxiety. His flexible fingers would do a quick search in the net in mere seconds, but none of the solution seems to align with what he did, plus you were running out of time so he needed to actually move for real. He’ll use Ortho to initiate medical mode on you in which the young robot will be more than willing to do while he remains by your side, apologizing constantly, saying how much of a screw-up he is that he wasn’t even able to take care of you properly. This will definitely scare him in the future, especially now that he realized how fragile you really are. He got a good glimpse of what will happen if he ends getting too comfortable with your body, the mere thought of it happening again will traumatize him enough that he might not even touch you for a while.
...He will get lonely though so, little by little, he might try to talk to you, always asking if you’re okay.
This took me way too much time but it’s worth it~ (΄◉◞౪◟◉`) I love it when these boys suffer because of their own yandere consequences lol

I’d like to request Sebek x female Mc ficlet with the random word as quiet. Btw I love your blog and all your writings! 🥰
Oh my, anon. It seems I have written so much. I must say that this prompt was extremely fun to write. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. And thank you so much for the kind words, please enjoy this lovely piece.
This is a sort of AU. Sebek and his darling MC are explorers (loosely based on urban explorers) looking to solve the mystery of an abandoned villa. But Sebel knows more that he lets on.
I'm currently experimenting with writing styles and wish to extend the length of my word count. Some feedback would be highly appreciated.
CW for potential OOC from Sebek and angst towards the end.
The Possibilities are Endless
"Through the entrance covered in thorns, through the river separating worlds, up the cliff of the dragon’s demise..."
Tumblr media
Deep inside a forest covered with black thorns lies a villa once belonging to the late reigning monarch of the Kingdom of the Fae. Though belonging to the King himself, he lived in it with three of his closest companions: His advisor and his loyal guards. There they stayed until the king suddenly vanished off the face of the earth and soon his companions followed suit, disappearing from existence and leaving their belongings inside the once warm and lively villa.
The story has since sparked many explorers to find the villa of the king but none so far had the pleasure of finding it.
But article after article, guide after guide, discussion after discussion; a path was laid from the failed attempts and a single sentence formed guiding those who were curious enough to go look for it.
Through the entrance covered in thorns, through the river separating worlds, up the cliff of the dragon’s demise.
Soon, multiple exploration groups took the challenge and it became a race to see who finds the villa first and find answers to why the king disappeared, where his companions went. It was a challenge that was accepted almost immediately by Sebek Zigvolt and his partner, his confidant; a woman who was just as eager and as curious to explore the unexplored.
“The forest we’re entering is actually part of a valley.” Sebek explained as his companion manoeuvred past the black thorns. “So the thorns actually stretch that far?” She asked, the cold air of dawn dusted her cheeks a bright red and her thick, warm clothes warming her body. Behind her was a large camping back, a style Sebek mirrored. “Yes. One of the guides said that once you reach the river, the thorns should look bigger. That’s the indicator that we’re going the right way.”
She took his hand in hers, smiling at him. “I’m excited. Let’s go.”
The hours walk was silent between them but they knew better than to let go of each other’s hand. The forest was quiet and sun covered by the clouds overhead, the trees were silent and the chirping of birds that one should hear when in a forest never came. All there was to hear was the heavy, deafening silence. “You noticed it too?” Sebek  asked, his voice soft and whispery. “The grandmother of the king was responsible for this growth of thorns, you know? After she cursed the humans who tried to drive her people away.”
“She was alive during the war?”
“She saw it begin and end.” Sebek shook his head at this. “At the time, magic...had odd standards.” A pat on his back and the two of them shared a soft smile. “But those days are over. The history books tell of its end.” He blinked his eyes and stopped in his tracks, looking over to her in concern. “A tinge of her magic still exists here even after her passing millennia ago. It was designed to keep humans out but...If we stay close and if we stay quiet, I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
She leaned a little closer to whisper into his ear, their fingers intertwining. “Sounds like a plan.”
The walk continued, reaching a stream of water. The two exchanged looks. “Through the river that separates worlds...Does that mean the magic is different here?” she wondered and took a tentative step forward. Next to the water were clumps and groups of zinnia blossoms amongst the black thorns.  Sebek’s hand tightened for a moment before letting out a breath, a puff of hot air against the cold air.
“There’s only one way to find out.” The two of them hopped over the stream and welcoming warmth washed over them, providing them with a moment of comfort. “It seems the influence of the king’s grandmother ends here.” Sebek says and lets go of her hand. “This magic feels more different, it’s more welcoming.”
“The king was a far cry from what his grandmother was since he was born after  the war ended.” He kneeled, taking a Zinnia blossom from the ground. “He focused on peace between worlds and wanted nothing more than for the world to feel peace.” The flower slipped on to her ear and her hair tucked behind it. The two stared at each other, his eyes crinkling into an emotion that was hard to read.
One of nostalgia and sadness; of happiness and bitterness.
“He sounds like a nice person.” She took his gloved hand when it held her cheek and somehow, that smile he had became even more broken. “...That’s what the books say.”
More and more flowers began appearing down the path, fireflies and butterflies floating about them, life poked through the large thorns that spread through the ground. A different world was in front of them, one that was kind, a world that was striving to break through the pain of the past.
“I read somewhere that the king fell in love with a human.” Sebek turned to her, eyes wide in surprise. “They met during his studies and they were inseparable. That is, until the human was cursed with an eternal slumber.” There was silence between them for a moment, a heavy silence. “It’s just speculation but...I think that was what drove the king to disappear, he couldn’t wake his lover up.”
A sigh then a chuckle, the green haired explorer bumped shoulders with her. “Despite the sombre tone, the sleeping spell reminds me of one of the king’s loyal guards. A swordsman so sleepy that he would sleep in the most darn places you could ever imagine.”
“Oh, he was the one who was raised to be the king’s guard since birth right?” Sebek nodded his head and looked on ahead. “No one could really explain why he would suddenly fall asleep but he was an expert with the sword. He even became the second swordsman’s mentor for a time.”
“I never heard much about the second guard.”
“He was the last to live in the villa before his majesty’s disappearance. Information about him is small as far as the books and articles say.”
“Sebek—”
They reached the cliff, the thorns large enough to step on. “Up the cliff of the dragon’s demise. We should be close to the castle. We can probably set up camp when we reach the top.” His partner looked up the cliff. The exhaustion she once felt suddenly disappeared. “It doesn’t look so bad. I think we can climb this in an hour!”
“Shhh!!!”
“Sorry.”
The climb to the top was indeed short, only taking a good hour to get to the top. The tent was set and fire was soon made as night began to creep in. Sebek poked the flame, adding more wood to keep the fire alive. “We should get some rest here...I know that you’re excited to find the villa but we should have enough energy to—”
Behind him, the woman was asleep and cuddled into her sleeping bag. The trek had taken a lot of her it seemed. Shaking his head, Sebek stood up and moved the sleeping back into the tent and for a moment, leaned down to nuzzle his nose to her forehead, making her stir. “Goodnight.”
Exiting the tent, he walked in the silence of the night to a place he knew he would find. A weathered tombstone came up in sight and wrapped around were the calcified remains of a sleeping dragon, the remains of his family, his master and his beloved bathed in the light of the moon.
“Master Malleus, I’m back.” He said, kneeling down in front of the stone, his eyes downcast at the silence that greeted him. “I have lost track of the centuries that have passed after you joined your beloved, my classmate, my very first friend in their eternal slumber.”
A sniffle and a sob left his quivering lips. “I remembered the day I yelled at you in anger. The day you said you wanted to do it out of love for them. Love. You felt such a fickle emotion, Master.”
The tears came, wetting the grass under him; flowers blooming in his state of mourning. “Master Lilia and Silver followed in your steps soon after. Both of them leaving for the world ahead never to be found again...And now,” He sniffled, rubbing his cheek “I’m the only one left.”
He closed his eyes. “You said that it was a wonderful feeling. Love. I never understood why a noble such as yourself would dwell on such things…But I understand now.” He remembers his partner, her laugh, the smile he always loved to see, the many adventures he’s spent with her.
He loved her. Very much.
“I understand what it means to feel love.” His swallowed another oncoming sob. “But alas, I was too late to tell you that you were right all this time.”
The stone did not move. Sebek sobbed, hunching over. It was only now that he felt the feeling of loneliness weigh down on his heart. “Please forgive me for my ignorance, Master Malleus.”
In the quiet castle, the second swordsman remained, his cries swallowed by the night and covered by looming clouds. There he mourned the passing of his companions, his family in the silence of the ruins he once called home.
