Vanessa: You look good with my hat.
Nozel: I'm not so sure about it.
Vanessa: Aw, you're so cute 💘
Nozel: Any particular reason why you wanted me to try it?
Vanessa: Except distracting you from guilty thoughts? I just wanted to see you with another color. Burgundy looks good on you, you should wear darker shades more often.
Nozel: ... Alright then. *unlocks his Silver Eagle robe and put it on Vanessa* Now we're even. Silver looks good on you...
Vanessa: See! You are so sweet when you're allowing happiness and affection 💘
@kalolasfantasyworld @vilandel @thoughtfullyrainynightmare @lyranova Third thanks for your kind words 💘

Black Clover Next Generation II ♣️💘
Family Tree of House Silva
Tumblr media
Yes, the Silva were productive... I am biased, obviously^^'
Nymphea and Valentina are twins, with Nymphea being the older one by three minutes. She is more like Nozel personality wise, while Valentina took more after Vanessa. They still got from the other parent, though.
It is a coincidence that they have the same initials as their parents... Nymphea and Valentina were also born on Valentine's Day^^'
Lavinia is the second child of Nozel and Vanessa, also very shy. She doesn't want to be a Magic Knight, finding more happiness in music and songs.
Cassandra was a surprise child, three years after Lavinia, but loved nonetheless. She is the wildest out of her sisters, if there is harshness in the Silva genpool, she got all of it. Cassandra also calls Yami uncle Dumpy.
Diego, Odette, Nebel and Zinnia are quadruplets. Which was a surprised to everyone. Diego and Zinnia are true wild pranksters, mini-versions of their parents, while Odette and Nebel are more calm, almost a miracle given who Nebra and Zora are.
Mathilda came many years later, as a surprise child. Nebra thought that she was done after giving birth to four babies at once, but she was very relieved that it was only one this time. Mathildas birth was also pretty fast, roughly twenty minutes.
The quadruplets are very protective of their baby sister, but baby Mathilda is going to be more a problem child than Diego, Zinnia and her parents together^^'
Eis is the first born of Solid and Rosette. He almost gave his parents and the midwives a scare because he didn't cried immediately when he was born.
Nanthilde is his sister, born four years later. Since she learned how to read, she had a soft spot for riddles and mysteries.
Both Eis and Nanthilde are very kind, like their mother. As much as their father was a brat in his youth, as much they are well-behaved. Solid is actually relieved they don't come too much after him personality wise.
Loreleï is the only daughter of Asta and Noelle. She was born a few days after Eis, which made them best friends since they were babies. Like her cousin Lavinia, she also doesn't want to become a Magic Knight, despite having her mother's amount of magic power.
Her brothers are much younger than her. Airgid is as wild as Asta with Noelles pride, a bit of a brat, but with a heart of of gold.
Nemo is the youngest, wild like his brother but kinder.
Fun fact, both Noelle and Asta were awful at giving names, even for their own children. Nozessa, Zobra and Sosette had to help them on that topic... which wasn't an easy task, but funny.
Nymphea has long silver hair like her father's, wavy like her mother's and Vanessas amethyst purple eyes, she has Silver magic. Valentina has the same eyes as her twin, but long straight hair like her grandmother, in a paler shade of Vanessas rosewood color, her magic is Tapestry. Lavinia has her mother's hair color, but the silky and thick structure of her father's (she wears them in two braids), she also has Nozels metallic lilac eyes, she got Vanessas Thread magic. Cassandra has silver hair, but very wild, a bit of mix of her parents and lavender purple eyes, her magic is Swords... given her wildness, it can be a stress factor for Nozel, one only Vanessa can calm him from.
Diego has his father strong red hair and also his deep blue eyes, looking like a mini-Zora, he has Spark magic. Odette has her mother's silver hair color, very wavy almost curly and like Diego, the eyes of her father, her magic is Cloud. Nebel's hair got a color mixed from his parents, with Nebra's gene a bit stronger, a pale pink, long and straight, his eyes are also a mix of his parents, a strong purple and like his name suggests, he got his mother's Mist magic. Zinnia has also pink hair, but unlike Nebel, her's are a stronger pink and are Wilde like Nebras, she also got her mother's magenta eyes, add to all of this Smoke magic. Mathilda has her father's red hair, pretty wild as well, and her mother's magenta eyes (a heavy contrast) and she got Water magic.
Eis has his mother's straight white blonde hair, which he wears short, his father blue eyes and like his name suggests, his magic is Ice. Nanthilde has curly hair, silver like Solid and Rosettes pale grey eyes (which got her the nickname Most Silver Silva), she got her mother's glass magic.
All of Astelle's children have water-based affinities (personal headcanon that Astas condition is not hereditary). Loreleï has her mother's straight long silver hair (unlike Noelle, she has her hair down most of the time) and her father's bright green eyes, her magic is Snow. Airgid has Astas wild ash blonde hair but wears it shoulder length and Noelles magenta eyes, he has Water magic like his mother. Nemo has silver hair but the same hairstyle like his father and also his mother's magenta eyes, his magic is Mist.

Author's note:
OCs in order belong to @thoughtfullyrainynightmare, @loosesodamarble, @koneko-pi and Helena is mine.
The vibes of this fic were inspired by @f-oighear's one shot: But the cold, dark gaze is your own.
Illustration is at the end.
Ao3
Is he in a dream? He does not know, but the shadows that swirl around him are ominous. He looks away, but it is the same on the other side. Shades of gray. There is a path and he walks on it, because what else can he do?
Each step feels heavy. He feels the burden resting on his shoulders. The burden of responsibility, burden of duty. It is suffocating, but he pushes on. He knows nothing else. Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! He keeps on repeating. My path is mine and mine alone.
So he walks by himself, dragging his feet, tripping. Shadows come closer.
He cannot take a break, but… his composure is shattering. Just a moment, a little bit. 
So he stops, nobody will notice. He turns his head to the side and his lilac eyes widen, surprised. 
The shadows part, just in that one spot, they swirl away and there is light. He needs to squint, because he is not used to it. Dark markings strangled him, kept him away from it, he kept himself from it, for fifteen years of his life. So how is this light apparent now?
He looks closer and he sees a flutter of pink. Pink? He smells wine, but why wine? 
His eyes meet with those of amethyst color and he sees flushed cheeks. 
“Hello handsome,” the woman winks. It is just that she is not talking to him. There is a man next to her. Man that could be his twin, because they both have silver hair, fair skin, lilac eyes. However it is not Nozel, because he knows himself and he is not happy. So how does this Nozel look as if he was? He wants to know the secret, wants to know how?
He takes a step closer… he falls on his knees. 
The light is gone, only shadows remained. 
He struggles to stand up. His legs are wobbly, because the burden is back. Somehow heavier than ever. Alone he pushes on. 
Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! The words are there, repeated like a mantra. 
Yet another step, yet another drag of his feet and they hurt. The soles of his sandals are not enough to shield them from the hard rocks, which suddenly appeared on the path.
He looks at them.
However then suddenly a flash of light appears. His eyes dart to it and he is focused. His legs feel lighter, so he approaches it. 
Silver? No she is not a Silva, he does not know her and yet she feels familiar. As if when he looks at the night sky he sees her. The moon looks down at him. And once again there is a man beside her. She is soft with him and he… he is soft with her. Yet another impossible twin. 
So he wants to gaze longer, but the moment he takes a step closer, light fades again. The burden settles, crushes him. Markings strangle his neck. 
Stronger! Stronger! Stronger!
He walks down the path. The sharp stones seem to break the soles of his sandals, but they are still fine… for now. 
When the light appears again, he is not surprised and he runs to it, once again magically rid of the heaviness. He stops close enough so that he can see, but not too close, worried that it will disappear. 
Why is his rival there? Why are they sitting under a tree? What are they talking about?
Fuegoleon seems to be calmly explaining something and the man beside him… listens. They are younger, teenagers. But he has no memory of that. What does it mean? This Nozel does not look burdened. 
He cannot stop himself from taking a step. It fades… once again it fades…
Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! But he wishes for yet another light.
His shoulders hurt. The burden digs into them. He is struggling not to trip. Not to fall down on the sharp rocks. 
He sees it. He darts towards it. Somehow his prayer was answered. 
Gold? Gold and green. The woman is standing in the water and smiling. She submerged her hands in it only to lift them up and splash them! He flinches, but she did not splash at him. The man beside her gets a little wet. He expects the man to snap. He does not. The man looks… happy?
He needs to take a closer look. He forgets and takes a step. The light fades.
Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Stronger to see another light?
He feels the rocks. The soles of his shoes begin to have holes in them. It hurts! He pushes it down. He does not hurt. He is strong. 
However when the light appears he does not have to pretend anymore… because the pain fades away. 
The woman is not facing him. She has long, light brown hair, so long that it nearly touches the ground. He notices her ears… they are pointy? Then a man comes up from behind her. He puts his hand on her shoulder and she turns around. Her eyes… They are beautiful, peach colored. Her expression is serene as she looks up at the man. That man… he is not nervous… he is happy. 
Maybe if he got a closer look he too..? However when he does the shadows remind him that he cannot. They swallow the peach eyed woman and the man. Once again he is alone. 
Stronger! Stronger! Stronger! Why is it on repeat?
He flinches. Pain. His shoes break down. The soles do not make it and sharp rocks dig into his feet. The burden, the duty lies heavy on his shoulders. He wonders will his spine make it? It has to. He is strong… right?
However he only feels strong, when the light appears again. His wide open eyes look at those with interchanging colors. Colors of pink, blue and purple. Why is that witch there? How is she not asleep? She makes a V-sign with her fingers and giggles, but she does not giggle at him. She giggles at the man whose cheeks are bright pink. He is embarrassed, but not in an uncomfortable way. This is softer. The man smiles tenderly. 
He wonders would this expression look the same on him? So he tries, but the corners of his lips are not used to the movement. The muscles seemed to forget. An ugly grimace forms instead. He covers his mouth. 
This time he is the one to step back. The light fades.
Stronger! Stronger! Stronger!
Something wet.... There is blood on his feet. He feels his back crack, he needs to lean forward, because the burden is too heavy. He wishes for the light no more. It gets worse with each one. Or maybe… just one more time? One more time, before he hurts his feet and they cannot walk anymore. One more time before he gives away to the burden. He walks, but it is hard. It is hard to breathe with the markings suffocating him. 
He trips. His hands bleed. The rocks cut the skin open. White fabric on his knees tears. There are no tears streaming down his cheeks. He is strong. He tries to stand up.
The light shines. He looks up and suddenly he is able to walk, able to run, but he is scared. He worries that if he gets too close it will disappear again. However he cannot see from this far. His feet decide for him. 
He takes a look. The man standing there looks the most like him, from all of those he saw. His expression flat and arms crossed over his chest. 
He furrows his brows. What does it mean?
But before he can wonder, a flash of red appears and a woman comes from behind the man, she excitedly jumps up and wraps her arms around him. The man nearly stumbles… but he is not angry. And the woman laughs. Her dark chocolate hair falls on him and contrasts with the silver. It frames her bright smile and deep brown orbs… almost black. She whispers something to the man and he rolls his eyes affectionately. Affectionately..? How does one do that? 
He wants to ask, so he opens his mouth… but no words come out. He tries again, but he is mute. He puts his hand to his throat. It burns. The markings burn, they suffocate. He tries to scream, but those two surrounded by light do not hear, because there is nothing to be heard. So he reaches out his hand.
The light..? Why is it… wet?
It disappears. Only his outreached palm stays. His eyes widen. It is red, just as that woman’s dress. Blood red and the droplets fall on the sharp rocks. Right… they cut it open.
Stron… He is not strong anymore. He falls on the hard ground. It hurts his body. The burden crushes his lungs. The markings tighten around his neck. The shadows swirl and blood… it spills. He lies there looking up at the dark. Nothing is there.
Nothing… nothing… nothing…
Something wet trails down his cheeks. Tears? His eyes open and he stares at the white ceiling of his room at the Silva estate. What was that dream? He wonders. Heavily he lifts himself up on the bed and looks to the side. 
It is empty…

If I may request something already... Can I ask for my favorite Black Clover ship? It's a crack ship and there's not much Fanart of it. Nozel x Vanessa (you can see on my profile that I ship them big^^'). So, I can't choose between general request or fan children request as I love both, so it's okay if I let you decide? Thank you <3
Tumblr media

I don't know if I can ask for a ship headcanon and if the last slot is taken, but can I request a vanzel headcanon, please? If I'm to late, please ignore my ask, I don't want to overwhelm you.
Hiya anon! I apologize that these took so long, I’ve been a bit busy with other things and it kind of drained my creative muses for a while…but luckily I was able to get enough energy to finally do these! So…I wasn’t sure what kind of headcanons you wanted (if you wanted random, or general, or a specific prompt) so I just went with their first date. I hope you enjoy 🥰~!
Vanzel First Date Headcanons:
Tumblr media
—————
• Nozel would be pretty nervous for his first date with Vanessa, but he wouldn’t let anyone else see or sense it. Instead he would be the perfect picture of “calmness”.
• Vanessa, on the other hand, would be very calm. But she would also be very excited since she was looking forward to this all week!
• Nozel and Vanessa would both agree to meet at the restaurant so that way they could avoid any awkwardness from the Black Bulls or the Silver Eagles.
• Nozel would either be early or on time, while Vanessa would be on time to maybe 5 minutes late!
• The restaurant they would decide on would be something that would suit both their tastes; it would have a nice wine selection and be cozy for Vanessa, but it would also be high quality and suited for a royal for Nozel.
• The two would be in a private area, and at first Nozel would be a bit awkward since he doesn’t really date or go out much. Meanwhile Vanessa would be relaxed, and would naturally guide the conversation to topics that interested both of them throughout the evening.
• As the night would go on Nozel would gradually become more and more at ease, and would find himself enjoying the night a lot more than he first thought he would. Especially getting to know about Vanessa.
• Vanessa would also find herself enjoying the evening, she would be pleasantly surprised to see Nozel loosening up and showing more of his true and more relaxed side. But she would really enjoy getting to know him, and loved to see that he wasn’t always a “stick in the mud”!
• As the night came to a close and the two would go to part, they would both find that they didn’t want the evening to end. But due to them both having missions the next day, they had no choice but to end it early.
• Nozel would offer to take Vanessa back to the Hideout, but she would politely decline, saying that she was a “big girl” and could watch out for herself. Instead, she would suggest that they meet at this same restaurant again next weekend, and maybe then he could walk her home. Nozel would be surprised that she would want to see him again, but would also agree to her idea.
• When the two finally parted, they would both have small smiles on their faces and excitement in their hearts for their next date

Snippit from Chapter 7
Vanessa x Nozel I just love them <3
Nozel walked through the door of Noelle's bedroom. His eyes fell immediately on Vanessa. She looked tired. Curled up, she sat on the large chair with her feet tucked under her buttocks. The family grimoire book on her lap. Wearily, she looked up, "good afternoon handsome." 
Nozel tried to keep his face straight, so as not to show his concern. "How are things here?" A servant walked in behind Nozel, and Nozel commanded him right away for food from Charmy. When the man disappeared, he cast another glance at Vanessa. "You look tired," he finally remarked. 
Her faint smile made her beam nonetheless, "You sure know how to compliment a girl." She sat up a little straighter and brought her feet back to the ground. 
"Uh," Nozel stammered. "You don't need lies, you need food and maybe some sleep." Then his eyes dropped to the book. "What are you reading?"
"I learned more about the witches, apparently there was a goddess who created the witches. The family grimoires are passed down from mother to first born daughter. The witches began with four witches. The Unsworth, possess dream and oversight magic. The Code branch is maker and create magic. The Aradia family, singing and healing magic and then my family, Enoteca blood and thread magic."
Nozel came up beside her and looked over the book with her. "Why didn't anyone know about the family grimoires? And how did they originate?" 
Vanessa put the book aside and stood up. "What I read is that magic is given. But all magic comes with a price. The greater the gift."
"The higher the price," Nozel complemented her. "That almost makes you think that maybe royals also paid a high price for their magic?"
Carefully Vanessa placed her hand on his lower arm and squeezed gently. She smiled at him with her eyes. "'What I take from the book, for this grimoire contains not only magic spells but also the family history.' But in giving magical powers, books were created, grimoires are later transferred to other people with those same magical powers. But the books were once created. A gift from a goddess, but at a price. People were willing to give up a lot, it made them greedy. However, I don't think the witches were much better."
Together they walked to the window; it was noon and the sun was high in the sky. The garden looked beautiful with colorful flower beds everywhere. "What was their reason for this decision?"
"Apparently they disliked the men in their lives. Rightly so, too, if you read what Madeira Enoteca endured. Kicked, beaten, used as a slave by her own husband. And after her second daughter was born, her husband became furious. He demanded a son. In the end, she and three fellow village friends fled. They sought help, and got it."
Still Vanessa had her hand on Nozel's forearm, he didn't mind. He heard her words and almost felt guilty that a woman had been made so desperate by a man's actions. "That's sad," he remarked somberly. 
Very gently he felt her hand squeeze his arm again and he looked up at her. "Don't be silly, this happened over a thousand years ago. Probably in the beginning period when everyone developed or got their magic. And every time magic arose, so did a grimoire. That goddess must have loved books."
Nozel looked at his own grimoire and took it from the halter. The silver-colored three clover book was thick, old. Vanessa put her other hand on Nozel's grimoire and stroked it. "There's a spell in my family grimoire book that can show who the previous owner of your grimoire was. If you want, and this whole thing is over I can show you. But for now I'm only dealing with Noelle."
When Nozel wanted to say something, he saw Vanessa sink into her thoughts and he grabbed her right away. "You need to eat something fast, you're getting weak. Come to the chair, I'll go see what's keeping that servant."
"He'll be here in a minute, I'd rather you stay with me." Her hand still resting on his upper arm he felt her holding him. "You won't believe it, but I may not be the bravest person. I'm so afraid of failing Noelle, or of letting you down." Nozel was startled by her unexpected emotion. 
"Me?" spat Nozel in surprise. She looked up at him with her purple eyes, which seemed to sparkle. "You will not fail me Vanessa, I only ask you to do your best. No one can do what you are doing right now. And this is going to be alright, Mereleona, that anti magic boy and their team will find a way to a cure." 
Vanessa laid her face against his chest and Nozel stroked his hand over her hair. Her scent of forest fruit prickled his nose. Her hair was as soft as velvet. He wrapped his other hand around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He wished he could carry some of her burden. Even if it was just a little bit. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the crystal from earlier, it glowed slightly. "What is that?" he asked in surprise. 
Vanessa looked up, also at the crystal. "No idea," she broke free of him and also released his arm. At the spot where she had held him, it seemed to get spontaneously cold. Quickly she walked over to the crystal and picked it up by the cord. Nozel joined her, unconsciously placing his hand on her lower back but at that moment the crystal also began to glow brighter. 
"Let go of me," Vanessa spoke hastily. 
Startled, Nozel withdrew his hand, "sorry," he stammered. The crystal became dimmer again. 
"No, no, it's okay, touch me again." 
Confused by what she meant, he very gently placed his hand on her lower back again, the crystal began to glow again. 
"Your mana, I can feel your mana. But how?" Vanessa turned to face him, the crystal pressed against her breasts. "This is kind of weird," she remarked. 
From the bed, Nozel heard the cat meowing. And then he remembered a few days ago after she tried to do the spell to find Charlotte. But why did he give mana to her? He didn't mind, in fact he was very happy about it. But how it worked, he had no idea. "Maybe we'll find something in that family book of yours?"
Vanessa put a hand against Nozel's cheek. "You're right, and until then you have to hug me from time to time to give mana handsome." She winked. 
Heat and embarrassment flew across Nozel's mind. Hugging the black bulls witch? Yes, no, how, the why he knew. He tried to put on his stoic mask, but to no avail. Each time she managed to pierce through him and he lost every time. His hand slid from her lower back to her hip; he wanted to pull her to him for a hug. He wanted to bury his nose in her rosewood color hair. But it wasn't allowed, it wasn't proper. He was royalty and she was a witch. Still her eyes stung his soul. 
A knock at the door startled them and Nozel let go of her, the crystal went dim again and he turned. "Who's there?" 
The servant entered. "Food as you wished Lord Silva."
"Ah yes thank you, just put it here." He gestured to a small table. 
After the clerk disappeared again, Nozel felt Vanessa take his hand. "Come let's eat, and then figure out why you can give me your mana handsome." 
And for the first time, Nozel no longer felt so helpless. For the first time, he would openly assist and help the witch. A strange happy feeling took possession of him.

Can I request Nozel/Vanessa for your event, with pose five? It might not be something you would draw first, but there aren't that many fanarts about them and I really love this ship. So if it's okay for you and if there are still some slots free...
Tumblr media
Hello!^^ now that you mentined it, there really isn't a lot of content for these two 🤔 so I'm happy to contribute ^^

Little nozessa fan here, I loved the fluffy oneshot you wrote for them a while ago, with their daughters. Can I ask for nozessa as parents with their twins for the ask game, pls? You can ignore my ask if it's a bit too much for you, don't worry^^'
Aww thank you so much, Anon-friend! I'm so glad that you liked my domestic fluff Nozessa one shot. 🥺💖 Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I wrote that for a request, and I actually had a lot of fun with it so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it too.
Your song and headcanon are below the cut. Thank you so much for your ask and for playing my song + headcanon game! Cheers!!💕
So I will confess that as I mentioned in my response to the other Nozessa ask I received for this game, I've done so many musical asks for Nozessa that I am starting to run out of songs about them, (sorry about that😅 I'll have to go digging for some more or start recycling 🙈). That said, I do have a whole list of domestic, family songs I listen to regularly, so since you asked for domestic fluff specifically, I knew just the song to choose: "What I Never Knew I Always Wanted" by Carrie Underwood.
This song definitely has the same kind of vibes of what I imagine a Nozessa family to be like, especially for Nozel since I really think he wasn't expecting to have so many domestic dreams (and not only that but he really wasn't expecting to actually have those dreams realized (perhaps in a way he didn't expect, but realized all the same leaving him happier than he knew he could be). Meanwhile, I think Vanessa did have some dreams of having a family someday but didn't know if that would be possible for her and probably had some fears wrapped up in that given her past and strained family situation. But in the end, they find each other and build this life and this family together that really is everything they "never knew [they] always wanted." That was kind of what I was going for in the one shot you mentioned, at least, and I just love this song for that kind of sentiment especially the verse:
Never pictured myself singing lullabies
Sitting in a rocking chair in the middle of the night
In the quiet, in the dark
You're stealing every bit of my heart with your daddy's eyes
What a sweet surprise
And now I'm holdin' what I never knew I always wanted
Carrie Underwood - What I Never Knew I Always Wanted (Official Audio) - YouTube
And here's your domestic Nozessa headcanon inspired by this song:
When their twin daughters are born, Vanessa and Nozel will each hold one and rock them to sleep together while Vanessa sings soft, gentle lullabies to them. Nozel sometimes chimes in when Vanessa assures him that he actually has a better voice than he gives himself credit for, but he would honestly much rather listen to her sing since he has always found her voice so beautiful. While there are a lot of sleepless nights in the beginning, Vanessa and Nozel both feel they have really never been happier than when they are holding their girls and singing them to sleep.

Hi! Can I request a depressed Noelle? Thank youuuu <3
Thank you for sending this(not proof read) I tried my best
Tumblr media
Walking through the corridors of the black bulls hideout Asta walks through the passage way to the common room. “Have you guys seen Noelle? We’re patrolling the noble realm today”
“Now that you said something I haven’t seen at all in a while” finral says “last time I seen her she said she was going out and left.” Zora said “And when was that.” “Like last week.” “cmon we’ll go search the kingdom” Asta grabbed finrals hand “why do I have to go?” “How else are we supposed to get there?”
Tumblr media
“I have a feeling I know where she could be. Let’s split up” Asta added before finral could protest.
Walking through crowds of people saying excuse me every 10 seconds asta finally arrive at the Silva estate. Luckily he knew by now to take the back way inside. The guards at the estate aren’t prone to let commoners set foot in house Silva. Let alone black bulls. He’d had been here before many times. Noelle always set a latter outside for him to climb up without anyone noticing.
As soon as he stepped foot in the estate he could hear screaming, and sobs calling for help ,and he swore he also heard laughter. “Here we go again.” Asta already knew what was going on. He thought that he had but a stop to it for good. Apparently the two oldest Silva didn’t know when enough was enough. He walks down the stairs of house Silva
Asta was fuming. How dare they? How could he have not noticed. How could he have let this happen again, how could the squad let this happen again. All of the sad looks, the declining of missions which was never like noelle, the refusing to eat. And wave of sadness washes over him. She’d been gone for a whole week! How did no one notice.
The sounds of Noelle’s cries, nebras laughter , and solid casting magic spells all became less that distant. That angry he once had came back at the sight in front of him.
He grabs solids wand, and snaps it in half stopping him from finishing he’s final spell. He lands a punch right dead center on solids nose sending him flying. He turns to the sight of noelle on the ground coved in water to being able to catch her breath. “I’m here it’s ok now he Scoops her up in his arms walking towards the exit
“You’re lucky I don’t but my hands on women.” He turns to nebra. He had almost forgotten she was there. “Well I for one don’t give a damn” Vanessa bust through the doors to the estate immediately pointing her wand at Nebras neck.
The rest of the black bulls behind her “we got it from here kid” yami puts his hand on Asta shoulder. Standing beside him is Noelle’s eldest brother Nozel Silva. “Take good care of her. I got the other two.” Asta can see the pain in his face he Nozel wants to have a relationship with noelle. Asta decided a long time ago that if he want it he’d come around eventually.
Walking through finrals portal Noelle still in arms he’s in Noelle’s room at the black bulls base. He gently sits her in her bed then heads for the door. “You’re just gonna leave me? Please don’t go im scared.” “Then I won’t.”
“ I’m sorry” Asta shakes his head “don’t apologize you did nothing wrong. We should’ve stepped up. We should’ve paid more attention to you, and your needs”
“You don’t look like yourself noelle.”
“I know.” She says before closing her eyes
“Asta my clothes are wet.”
“Do you want me to change them for you?” Asta says in the most cheeky innocent voice ever
“Get out! Of course not” she says pulling the covers over her face.

Nozel: *redoing his braid in a haste* Sorry I'm late. I was... doing things.
Vanessa: *combing her unkempt hair with her fingers* I'm late too, you know, things to do.
Asta: *totally innocent* Captain Nozel was late to, what a coincidence. Must be some exciting things to do.
Noelle: Why? Why are you like that?

Be it fluff or angst, you really have great stories. If I may, can I ask for some fun and fluffy nozel x vanessa (your os about them made me interest into this ship), when they almost get caught by someone? Your choice on who that someone is. Thanks and good day to you.
Ahhh, thank you for the compliment! I have to admit that first writing for this ship was a little difficult for me, so I am overjoyed to hear that that fic was convincing enough to get someone interested! 😁 I hope you like this and have a good day ❤️
Forest Encounter
Words: 1365
“My friend said it was quite the riot,” Vanessa giggled. 
She was just finishing telling Nozel a little piece of gossip she had heard recently. They were walking together in a forest far removed from any patrol routes. It would be unlikely that anyone would come looking for them here or stumble across them. They had specifically even avoided the forest path to not be seen. 
“You could say so,” Nozel said coldly.
He never was one for gossip, so Vanessa couldn’t blame him for seeming disinterested. The gossip itself had to do with a pair of nobles that had entered in their drunken stupor a tavern inhabited by commoners, and made quite a scene. The Knights had had to intervene. As always, Nozel detested any nobles that made a ruckus like that, and his distaste for the story showed itself very plainly. There was no helping that. She still knew he listened, and he never interrupted her when they were together like this. He was almost always patient with her stories, even if they didn’t interest him. It was very sweet. 
“Come now, sugar. It’s a little bit funny, at least,” Vanessa coaxed him. 
He gave her a wry look, but there was no disapprovement in it. 
“The fact that nobles have sullied their names doesn’t bring me joy,” he simply stated. 
“You say that, but I saw you smile when I told you about the incident at the Bulls–”
“No,” Nozel interrupted, but Vanessa could see the faint signs of embarrassment on his face. 
He was not a very expressive man, but it made it even more fun to decipher the small miniscule expressions he did make. He was so guarded and so vulnerable at the same time.
“Your smile is very handsome, sweetheart,” Vanessa teased him. “I’d like to see it again.”
Nozel’s gaze upon her might have seemed cold, but there was something indescribable in it. It was not a flustered expression, it was not a challenge. Perhaps the best word for it was ‘passion’. It was sweet, just like the faint twitch of the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, a branch cracked somewhere. They both turned around, surprised, trying to figure out where the sound had come from. They were wary about being seen together. It would bring so much trouble. It would be embarrassing for Vanessa to try to explain this to everyone. Especially if it was Noelle…
“It was probably an animal,” she suggested, but she had almost subconsciously lowered her voice to almost a whisper.
Nozel hushed her, his eyes scanning the area. They both fell completely quiet. The birds continued their songs, the wind gently hummed amongst the trees. Then, they could hear it again. Steps. Yes, they both could definitely hear steps from ahead of them. 
“Behind the tree,” Nozel whispered, grasping her wrist.
Vanessa followed as he pulled her gently behind a large tree nearby, pressing her back against the bark. Nozel didn’t let go of her wrist, but leaned closer to hide behind the tree himself. The situation was a little amusing to Vanessa - if someone found them like this, they’d definitely know that the two of them were in a relationship. There was no other reason for a man like Nozel to push her against a tree. Finding the thought hilarious, Vanessa suppressed the giggle and instead wrapped her arms around Nozel, pulling him - if possible - even closer. He seemed to resist it at first, but as the steps became louder, that resistance melted away. She smiled with satisfaction. She could clearly see the slight flush on Nozel’s cheeks as they were closer to each other. Even in this situation, he couldn’t help but try to be ‘proper’. She could smell his perfume, strong and alluring. She winked at Nozel as he looked at her for a moment, but that gaze was quickly redirected at the woods. Buzzkill. Vanessa turned a little to try to peek behind her. She wanted to also know who their mystery visitor was. Nozel pressed his hand gently on her shoulder, trying to keep her still. Still, she got a glimpse of the short figure. Enough to recognize their unfortunate intruder. 
“Oh, it’s–” Vanessa started, but suddenly a rough hand passed over her mouth, muffling her words.
Nozel’s eyes were wide with alarm, and he pressed even closer to her. They both held their breath, as if that would remove the words that Vanessa had begun to say. After a momentary silence, a voice called out from between the trees. 
“Is there someone there?”
Vanessa would have wanted to answer, but the alarm in Nozel’s eyes stopped her. Well, so did his hand on her mouth. She once more smiled a little. The steps started coming closer. This would be the end. Their intruder was Charmy, of all people, and she’d definitely tell everyone at the base. Perhaps she could be persuaded with food to not speak? Still, even one slip-up would mean everyone would know. The Bulls were all good people and wouldn’t make a fuss about it, but she wasn’t ready for them to know. Nozel wasn’t ready for them to know. Well, maybe he’d never be ready for the Bulls to know. 
“Hello?” Charmy’s voice called again, full of doubt.
It was very close now, and Nozel pressed even closer to her. He really could’ve taken that hand from her mouth already. It was a little uncomfortable. The seconds felt like minutes as they waited. Then, the steps moved again. There was a sigh. Perhaps Charmy had given up, but neither Vanessa or Nozel dared to move yet. They waited patiently for the sounds to disappear completely.
After a good while had passed from Charmy’s disappearance, Vanessa dared to breathe a sigh of relief. She looked thoughtfully at Nozel. He was still tense and wary, his gaze fixed to the direction Charmy had disappeared to. He wasn’t still certain she had disappeared, clearly. His hand over her mouth started to be a little too stuffy and uncomfortable.
“Nozel,” Vanessa muttered through the hand.
“Shh,” he only whispered, still jumpy.
Alright, that was too much for her. It was really his fault by now. She could only do what she knew would make Nozel take off his hand: Vanessa stuck out her tongue and licked it. Just like she had thought, Nozel immediately withdrew his hand, going as far as to step away from her. 
“What–?” he whispered angrily. 
Vanessa smiled innocently to him and simply put a finger to her lips.
“Shh.”
She loved how his eyes narrowed at her display, how it was clear that his attention had shifted back to her. His thoughts were no longer fully in Charmy’s appearance.
“She’s gone already,” Vanessa said finally. “It’s just us.”
“You shouldn’t lick people’s–my–you shouldn’t have done that.”
There was a slight tremble in his voice, speaking of the agitation inside him. She loved to agitate him. For a man that had such perfect control of his facial expressions, it was sometimes frightfully easy to make him flustered. She walked closer to him.
“I’m so sorry, milord,” she said with a wicked smile that didn’t have a drop of regret in it. “I couldn’t speak with your hand over my mouth, so it was the only way.”
Nozel sighed and looked away. 
“Don’t call me that in private,” he said silently.
“I’m just teasing you,” Vanessa laughed, taking hold of Nozel’s hands.
He allowed it easily, stepping a bit closer to her as well. 
“Kiss me, and let’s continue our walk,” she suggested, looking up to his handsome eyes.
Nozel, still trying to compose himself, simply grunted. It wasn’t very romantic, but it was adorable to Vanessa. Perhaps it was because he was often so in control, that she loved to see him a little agitated. She leaned in, and he kissed her softly. His hand left hers to cup her cheek ever so slightly.  
“Let’s go,” he whispered against her lips.
She stole one more kiss, before turning back towards the forest.
This time, she didn’t let go of his hand. Not until it came for them to part for the day.

Surprises In The Night
Summary Even though it's just another night at the Black Bull's base, some surprises were just too shocking to be just done with it...
A/N Inspired by @f-oighears hilarious and amazing oneshot on Ao3, I loved that one^^ I might work on a sequel for this.
Ao3 link
♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣
If there was something that Yami hated more than being woken up in the middle of the night, it was being woken in the middle of the night while he had a special someone in the bed with him. If he had known better, he would have ignored Magna’s scream and actually spent a peaceful night.
But of course, Yami didn’t known any better. So, he stood up, scratched his chin, groaned, gave the groaning woman next to him a reassuring caress and went to open the door.
“Geez, you know what time it is, Magna? People are trying to sleep here, just so you know.”
“I’m sorry, captain Yami, sir! But I’m so shocked!” Magna yelled, while his captain hold him at the head, almost crushing him.
“Shocked of what, dumbass? To see me awake at night? Being scared would be more appropriate and you should know that.”
“No, that’s not it! I mean, I am scared to see you awake right now and I’m shocked for something else!”
“Oh really? And what did shocked you in our Hideout? Did Gauche stop worshipping his little sis all of a sudden?”
“No, it’s Vanessa, she-“
Magna stopped suddenly, as he got a glance in Yamis bedroom. Yami sweated and tried to hide his squad members eye’s, but it was too late. Magna saw that there was a woman in his captains bed. And since said woman just sat up, he also immediately recognized who it was.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Crap, again?
Instinctively, Yami closed his door while some other Black Bulls suddenly came out of their rooms, though Henry didn’t joined the crowd and stood at his doorframe. The boys, no girls where there yet and he hoped that it stayed that way. He also hoped that the girls rooms were rather away today and with any luck, they haven’t heard Magna screaming his lungs out.
With any luck.
“Can’t you scream in silence, we’re trying to sleep here!” Gauche yelled, but thankfully not as loud as Magna.
“Is there a fight? Are we attacked?” Luck asked with enthusiasm, his night bonnet whipping in every direction as he talked and jumped.
“Well… first… and… then… bed… the hell…” Magna stuttered, pointing at the door to the captains bedroom. Yami hold his head a little stronger.
“There’s nothing to see here, brats. Just a fuss over nothing. Now go back to bed and sleep and shut up or you’re all dead.”
How lucky he was that Nacht wasn’t here. He wouldn’t have heard the end of it.
But how unlucky he was that there was someone who was able to read Ki.
“That’s weird, captain Yami. I read captain Charlottes Ki in your room- OUCH!”
“I never should have teached you to read Ki, cupcake,” Yami groaned in his most menacing voice, while Asta was now also getting his head almost crushed.
But it was too late. His brats were sleepy but the smartest ones would put the dots together in a few seconds. And Yami wasn’t awake enough to quickly get his katana and grimoire to threaten them with a Dimension Slash if they won’t go to bed quickly.
Silence.
Asta and Magna whined.
More silence.
“WHAAAAT!”
“Really, is she here to fight?”
“Does that mean she wants to become our new friend?”
“Oh… I… would… have… make… a… new… guest… room… if… I… knew… that… she… was… coming…”
“Why is the captain of the Blue Roses allowed to sleep here and not Marie?”
“WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP!” Yami screamed. “Finral, breath again, I still need my wheels. No, Luck, the prickly princess is not here to fight you, especially not in the middle of the night. Gordon, if she wants to become your friend, you ask her, not me. Henry, she’s sleeping in my bed, a new guest room isn’t needed. Gauche, if you continue to be angry that my prickly princess is here while your sister isn’t, you will do Astas cleaning duty for a year. And Zora, stop snickering or I’ll kill you!”
In the meantime, Charlotte came out of his bedroom, looking tired, annoyed and somehow resigned.
Damn. She was really hot as a sleepy head, especially when she was wearing one of his large undershirts that were way too long for her.
But right now, with his brats present, the male brats, Yami would have preferred that Charlotte really did bring one of her long nightgowns. He wanted the only one to see that sight of her.
“Good… well, good night, everyone,” the blonde woman mumbled.
She was clearly flustered. Yami couldn’t blame her.
“Good night and, um, nice to see you, captain Charlotte. Welcome at the Black Bulls Hideout,” Finral said, in an unsure tone but still willing to be polite and showing some hospitality towards a squad captain visitor.
There was an awkward silence, only interrupted by Astas and Magnas whining.
Then Finral looked like he understood something.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my-“
“Stop repeating, Finral and just say it out loud!” Gauche yelled, visibly annoyed.
“Captain Yami is shagging the captain of the Blue Roses”, Zora snickered.
Charlotte blushed and Yami could feel his own face burning up as well. Crap, he didn’t wanted his brats to find out about his relationship like that, especially not in the middle of the night. And he had wanted to keep it a secret for longer, just because he knew how his brats could be.
“Oh… Con… gra… tu… la… tions…”
“Thank you, Henry,” Charlotte mumbled, trying to look away.
“What does shagging mean? Is it another word to fight? Can I join?”
“NO!” both Yami and Charlotte yelled.
“And was that the reason Magna screamed two times?” Gauche asked, while he was taking a picture of his sister out of his pyjama pocket. “One time would have been one too much already, I was sleeping and dreaming of my angel-“
“You mean your sister or Grey?” Gordon asked. Of course it wasn’t teasing coming from him, but Gauche still flushed a little. Good. Yami hoped that the attention would go over to Gauche now and his not-so-secret feelings for Grey.
But of course, Magna had to stop his salvation.
“No- ouch! I only screamed for the second – ow – when I saw captain Charlotte in captain Yamis bed- ouchy! The first scream – au, au – was about…”
“Yami darling, would you please stop crush those poor boys heads?” Charlotte asked, half annoyed, half concerned for Asta and Magna. Yami just sighed, dropping his two knights who landed with their butts on the floor.
“Thank you, captain Charlotte.”
“Hold your gratitude, especially you, Magna,” Yami said in a very menacing voice. “If your first scream wasn’t about me and my prickly princess-“
“Did he just said my prickly princess?” Finral asked, still under shock.
“-then why did you scream in the first place?”
“Don’t be so rude on him, Yami. It’s not his fault that he found out about us.”
“Don’t scold me, prickly princess, you’re breaking my delicate little heart of glass here.”
“Delicate little heart of glass?” a few Black Bulls asked, surprised.
“Well,” Magna started. “I wasn’t sleeping well and wanted to ask Vanessa for some potion to help me sleep. But…” at this point, Magna blushed, “she… well… she wasn’t alone in her room.”
“Did the girls have a sleepover?” Asta asked, innocently. “That’s strange, normally they do it in Charmys room, because of the snacks. Vanessas room is way too messy for a sleepover, everyone knows that. But Magna, you could have still asked for that potion, even if the other girls are with her.”
“No, it wasn’t a sleepover with all the girls,” Magna replied, even more blushing. He went silent and some Black Bulls began to put some dots together.
“Oh… she has someone too,” Finral said, clearly trying to process that particular news.
“Who?” Asta asked innocently.
Magna blushed even more – was that even possible? – and kept quiet.
“Magna, no need to be ashamed. It’s good that Vanessa has someone that makes her happy. I wanna know who that person is, so we can be friends.”
“And I wanna fight that person!”
“Did you saw them in her bed?”
“No…”
Gauche sighed deeply, visibly irritated. “Then how can you be sure that Vanessa has someone when you haven’t saw another person with her in her bed?”
“I never said that I saw them, I couldn’t because I didn’t even entered the room!” Magna protested. “But I… heard them.”
Silence.
“They were… apparently… very busy…”
Silence.
“I heard Vanessa mostly, but… he… well…”
“Oh, it’s a man?” Zora asked.
“I wanna fight him!”, Luck added. Those two were currently the only ones who dared to speak up.
“Well… I was petrified at first. But then, Vanessa screamed his name and… you know the rest.”
“And what name was it that it made you scream like that?”
“It’s… Nozel Silva.”
Silence.
An owl was heard outside of the base.
More silence.
“WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!”
That multiple scream filled the whole Hideout. It was probable that the Black Bull girls would come after this. And indeed, Nero was already coming nonchalantly, with Grey hiding behind her.
“Hello, everyone. If you ask where the other girls are, Noelle will follow and I haven’t seen Charmy or Vanessa. Good evening, captain Charlotte.”
Nero was so unfazed that it was almost scary.
“So… you’re not surprised that the captain of the Blue Roses is here?” Finral asked carefully.
“Not really. After all, it was time that captain Yami not only finally realizes those feelings, but also that they finally got together.”
“For fuck’s sake, was I really the last one who realized what my prickly princess was feeling for me?”
“Yes,” Gordon said and Finral even added, “Well, even captain Jack realized it before you and since he’s-“
“Be careful with what you say, Finral!”
Yamis voice was so menacing that everyone present flinched, except Charlotte and Nero.
“B-Being in front of a s-squad captain i-in my nightgown a-and with a s-sleepy h-head, i-it’s so e-embarrassing.”
“Grey, it’s probably embarassing for everyone. Would you like some tea?” Gordon asked in an effort to calm his squadmate a bit.
“Forget about the tea, Gordon! Could anyone please explain why Vanessa is sleeping with Nozel Silva of all people?”
Grey just shrieked again at Gauches question, which meant that she wouldn’t calm herself a bit for a while.
Nero, on the other hand, seemed unfazed as usual.
“Oh. I better go warn them, just in case.”
She transformed into a bird with a plop and flew away immediately, leaving a bunch of stunned people behind her. Grey now went to hide behind Gauche.
“Okay, not being surprised about captain Yami and captain Charlotte is one thing,” Finral finally said, visibly still trying to recover from the shock. “But captain Nozel and Vanessa together is a far bigger surprise, even for Nero!”
“Maybe she already knew,” Gordon suggested, but it was left unheard as Zora, Magna and Asta began to speak up at the same time.
“I honestly haven’t seen it coming, even though Vanessas Ki had been weird, lately.”
“I swear it’s true, I’ve heard her say his name!”
“I could say that it’s maybe another Nozel. But who else would have a dumbass name like that.”
“Shut up, brats!”, Yami yelled, punching a fist in a wall. “I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I will not allow another cap using my hideout as a dating place!”
Charlotte sighed, “Yami, I’m a captain too.”
“You’re an exception, prickly princess and I invited you.”
“Isn’t it fair to assume that Vanessa invited Nozel, then?”
“Without my authorization!”
“Does she need you’re authorization?”
“Only when Braids is involved.”
“You came up with that only now, I can tell.”
“Doesn’t matter, I’m still the captain of this squad of misfits.”
“Woah, captain Yami, you and captain Charlotte already sound like an old- OUCH!”
Yami took Asta again menacingly by the head, while Charlotte held his arm, trying to make him let go of his squad member.
“Geez, where’s Charmy when we need her? I need some popcorn or one of her special drinks,” Zora snickered, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
“Well, honestly, I’m surprised no one noticed a thing before. After all, we all know how difficult it is to have some privacy here,” Finral sighed, running a hand through his hair.
“Well… it’s only my second night in this base,” Charlotte mumbled.
“Well, it’s still an accomplishment, captain Charlotte. One night keeping a secret is already long in here.”
“Yeah, unless you want some excitement, you better met elsewhere when you’re dating outside of your squad,” Zora added, still snickering, but somehow softer.
Which didn’t go unnoticed by Asta, who was still struggling to get free from Yamis grip with Charlottes help.
“Zora, are you talking from experience?”
“Nah, I’m just stating a fact.”
“But…”
Asta couldn’t continue, because Nero came back in this very moment. Followed by Nozel and Vanessa. Hand in hand. Nozel was only wearing some pyjama pants and Vanessa a – unusual for her style – long undershirt, which was too silvery white to not be a Silva piece of clothing.
Well, there was nothing left to doubt anymore.
“Nero warned us,” Vanessa smiled, while blushing. “Um, sorry that we traumatized you, Magna.”
Nozel said nothing, but his cheeks were totally beet red.
“Did you realize what time of the night it is? Couldn’t you just… um… I mean, never mind.”
Magna looked at Nozel Silva with cautious, but even though the captain of the Silver Eagles was obviously not going to scold him, the Black Bulls fire mage kept quiet. He was still embarrassed from his discovery, after all.
Charlotte and the Black Bulls just awkwardly stared at Nozel, who just blushed harder and stared anywhere else but at the pairs of eyes looking upon him. In fact, he stared at Vanessas hand holding his, intervening their fingers.
“Oh, good evening, captain Charlotte. First night captain took you at our base, huh?”
“Hello, Vanessa. No, it’s actually my second- Wait, you knew that we’re together?”
“Yes, I did.”
Silence.
“WHAT?” almost everyone yelled.
“Well, you know, when your boyfriend is a captain, you have an excellent source of gossip about what happens at the meetings of squad captains?”
“WHAT?”
“But… we were… and… Nozel… how did he… of all people…” Charlotte stuttered, slowly losing some bits of the cool she still had left.
“Yeah, no offence to your boyfriend, Vanessa, but captain braids isn’t the most susceptible towards gossip,” Zora snickered, somehow having the time of his life. Or something else, because Asta was looking at him with question mark eyes again and again.
“I… had a good teacher,” Nozel finally said, clearly flustered.
“Oh, this is really lovely of you to say, honey,” Vanessa smiled, clearly touched and giving him a kiss on the cheek, much to the others shock.
“Wait, was that a compliment?” Magna asked.
“Yes, it was,” Asta replied, more than stunned.
“Well, it sounded like it,” Zora snickered, although it was just as surprised as the others.
“And are we just ignore the fact that Vanessa just called Nozel Silva honey of all people?” Finral asked.
“And that she kissed him on the cheek,” Gordon added.
“W-witnessing t-this, i-it’s so em-embarassing…”
“Oh, shut up, you brats!” Yami suddenly yelled, stopping the growing discussions of his squad members.
“Please, language, Yami,” Charlotte mumbled. But she knew that it was unnecessary anyway.
“Alright, Bird Braid, I don’t think I gave you my authorization to-“
“Yami, leave Nozel alone, I invited him!”
“You’re not of the hook, Vanessa.”
“Fore- um, Yami. Do not scold Vanessa, she was just being hospitable!”
“Oh, come on, Braids, Vanessa. Would you stop defending each other, I’m trying to-“
“No!”
It was not only Nozel and Vanessa who yelled, but also Charlotte and that alone made Yami go quiet again. There was a silence again, only disturbed by Greys soft whimpering and Finrals polite mumble to welcome Nozel in their base.
“Honestly, how did that even happen?” Gauche finally groaned, pointing at both couples.
“You want the long version or the short version?” Vanessa asked, finding some of her joyful attitude again.
“Keep it short, wino.”
“Okay. We fell in love.”
“Wait, that’s way too short!”
“But you asked me to keep it short.”
“What Gauche probably should have meant,” Yami said, as calm as possible since Charlotte was holding his arm, “why would you go with Braids of all people. Seriously, you can do better than a royal who has three sticks up his ass.”
“Excuse me?”
Nozel made a step towards Yami, visibly insulted.
“Yami, please, was that really necessary?” Charlotte asked, deadpanned.
“Oh, we’ll have a night fight! Yeah! Comme Magna, fight me!”
“Please… don’t… fight… It’s… still… the… middle… of… the… night… and… I’m… way… too… tired… to… fix… all… the… damages…”
“No way! I’m still too shocked, find someone else to fight!”
“Okay, can someone fetch Charmy,” Zora grinned. “I really need popcorn.”
“I… would… only… be… able… to… fix… them… later… tomorrow… and… captain… Yami… doesn’t… like… parts… of… our… base… stay… broken… for… too… long.”
“For Heaven’s sake,” Vanessa said loud, stopping the discussions. “Who I love is my business and Nozel doesn’t have one or three sticks up his ass. I would know if there were some, trust me.”
A bunch of the present people blushed.
“And even if he had, I wouldn’t give a damn at all. I love Nozel, he makes me happy.”
She gave her boyfriend the most gorgeous smile the Black Bulls ever saw on her face. Nozel blushed, but smiled softly back, holding her hand tighter.
“You… um, you make me happy too.”
“Oh, this is adorable,” Gordon smiled, already planning to add two new dolls for his collection.
Finral only nodded, a bit unease. On one hand, it was a bit embarassing and honestly weird to witness Vanessa making eyes with Nozel Silva of all people. But on the other hand, they were adorable and Finral was not too embarrassed to admit that he was happy for his best friend.
One day soon, it would be us, lady Finesse…
“Nope, this is weird,” Gauche groaned.
“Go date Grey first, Gauche,” Vanessa replied. “Then you can talk.”
Both Grey and Gauche blushed.
“Besides, captain Yami, do I make such a drama about you and captain Charlotte?”
Yami was about to reply when a new person joined the hallway.
“Can someone please tell me what all the fuss is about? Do you realize what time-“
Noelle stopped, both with her words and her feet, as she saw that her older brother was here. Both Nozel and Vanessa blushed, unable to say anything.
“Nozel… um…”
“Good evening, Noelle.”
It was only then when the water mage discovered her older brother’s hand in Vanessas.
Silence.
“Wait… Vanessa, why is Nozel… and… OH MY GOD!”
Noelle immediately covered her face with her hands as realization hit her.
“Alright, sweetie, don’t forget do take deep breaths.”
“I’m doing it, Vanessa!”
She clearly wasn’t.
“I mean… it’s just… weird… No, it’s not! I mean it is, but… I don’t mean it as an insult, I swear! Did anyone even know?”
A bunch of Black Bulls replied with a “No”. But it didn’t had much an impact, because another Bull had an answer who was the complete opposite.
“Yes, I did know.”
“NERO?”
“But… why didn’t you say anything?” Noelle asked with cautious.
“First, they wanted to keep it a secret for a while and I respected that. It was their secret and not mine, after all,” Nero answered in the calmest way. “And second, they’re cute together.”
“Cute?”
While some Black Bulls, including Yami, looked at Nero in disbelief, Noelle stared back at her brother and her squadmate, still holding hands like there was no tomorrow and obviously standing nearer to each other than needed.
“Well… I can’t disagree with that. But... it’s still weird. But cute, yes, I can’t deny. But weird, argh, sorry!”
“You still under shock, it’s normal, sweetie,” Vanessa smiled, visibly relieved that Noelle didn’t took it badly.
“We wanted to tell you,” Nozel sighed. “We just… postponed. And well… it was also new… for both of us.”
“New and beautiful, honey,” Vanessa added, stroking some silver hair behind his ear.
“Honey?” Noelle repeated, still under shock.
“Sweetie, please, I give nicknames to everyone, it’s normal that your dear brother would also have his own. And you can ask captain Charlotte if she has some nicknames for captain Yami as well.”
“VANESSA!!”
It was only then that Noelle realized that her older brother wasn’t the only captain from another squad present tonight.
“Captain Charlotte… with… captain Yami… wait! You’re finally together?”
“Would she wear one of my undershirts if that weren’t the case?” Yami asked, annoyed. But since his secret was out, there was sadly no reason anymore to try to hide it.
“I should tell Puli about this great news,” Gordon said, happily.
“Puli? Like Puli Angel? A member of my squad?”
“Yes, we became good friends since that mixer. You were there too, captain Yami, remember?”
“A mixer? I don’t remember being on a mixer ever in my life, especially with some Blue Roses.”
“But it was a mixer, I was there too!” Charlotte complained. “It was during those six months of training before the raid of Spade. I had that pretty dress on and you told me that I looked like I was going to freeze and when we touched hands to take the pepper and I… jumped… out of a window.”
Charlotte went beet red.
“You… did what?” Nozel asked, clearly confused.
“Wait, that was a mixer?” Yami asked, also clearly confused. “But you told me that your girls made this a dinner party for you to relax a bit.”
“They… well… they mostly did it so that you and I could get together…”
Silence.
“Charlotte, how long have you been in love with me?”
The captain of the Blue Roses just yelped, hiding her face behind her hands. She had hoped to be over this, but it was now in the middle of the night and a bunch of people found out about their secret, not to mention that she was still tired and just learned another secret as well. It was a bit too much for her to handle.
“Look at us, so many couples. Captain is finally together with Charlotte, I’m happy with my Little Eagle, Noelle and-“
“Vanessa!” Noelle yelped, beet red. Asta looked at her with confusion and a frown.
“Okay, sorry. Finral is going to marry his beloved Finesse, I bet it’s only a matter of time before Grey and Gauche get together-“
“Shut up, Wino!”
“Would you please talk to my girlfriend with more respect, delinquent?”
“Magna and Luck are so, so close like never before, Gordon is friends with Puli and maybe it could become more-“
“We’re just friends, though.”
“And I know that Zora is seeing someone very special too.”
Zora’s smug snickering found an end in an awkward cough.
“You… know?”
“Don’t worry, Zor, I still have no idea who it is. But we can all take bets. I put my two scents on Kirsch.”
“Poor Zora,” the Silva siblings mumbled.
“Wait, you have someone? Is that why your Ki was so weird right now? But who?” Asta asked and his confusion visibly irritated Zora.
“But who would have the patience to deal with Zora?” Gauche asked, still grumpy.
“Well, Grey has patience with you, so you’re not one to talk,” Zora snarked back.
Gauche was about to reply, when the door to Zoras room was brutally opened.
“WHAT ARE YOU MAKING ME WAITING FOR SO LONG, PEASANT!”
Except Zora, everyone present was shocked to see Nebra Silva of all people run out of Zoras room, wearing only a black nightgown, very unusual for a Silva.
Nebra stopped short as she realized that Zora wasn’t alone. In fact, two persons in particular got her attention and put her in a very Silva state of embarrassment.
“Nozel, Noelle, hi.”
“Nebra, hi.”
Nozel didn’t say anything. It wasn’t clear if he was shocked like the others or just done.
Probably both.
“Okay, this is way more surprising than Vanessa being with captain Nozel,” Finral finally said, sounding surprised and done at the same time.
Zora looked like he wanted to retreat.
“Nozel is with… Oh my gosh!” Nebra exclaimed, pointing at Nozel and Vanessa. “So she’s the one you’re canoodling with!”
“Wait, you knew about them?” Noelle asked.
“Well, I only knew that Nozel was dating someone and… um, due to circumstances, I suspected that it probably wasn’t a noble.”
“What kind of circumstances?” Nozel asked, frowning.
“Um, you know, circumstances,” Nebra mumbled, flicking her hand, before she turned to Zora and took him by the shoulders. “Why haven’t you told me that my older brother is dating your squadmate?”
“Hey, don’t accuse me, I only learned about it like two minutes ago! It’s not my fault that they were caught by Magna over there.”
“I couldn’t sleep and I haven’t expected Vanessa to scream the name of the Silver Eagles captain in the middle of the night!”
“Sorry, but I couldn’t help it, Nozel is such a god in bed!”
“Vanessa!”
Nozel, even more beet red than before, put a hand on his girlfriend’s mouth, but it was unnecessary. As good as everyone understood what Vanessa was implying. Especially his sisters, who were now as flustered as he was. The three Silva siblings just looked at each other, too embarrassed to even look away.
“Wait,” Gordon said suddenly, “Asta is with Noelle, Vanessa with captain Nozel and Zora with lady Nebra. Does that mean that three Silvas are in love with someone out of their circles?”
“Three?” Charlotte asked innocently, but it was covered by Noelles squealed “GORDON!!!”, while Astas cheek turned into a soft pink.
But to almost everyone’s surprise, Nozel and Nebra weren’t that shocked about their little sister being with a peasant. Vanessa giggled and Zora leaned against the wall with resigned sigh.
“You… knew…” Noelle stuttered. Asta went to her and took her hand.
“Yes, I do and apparently, Nozel is aware as well. About you and Asta,” Nebra sighed, flicking her hand. A clear indicator that she was flustered. And that she probably doesn’t have the energy to say something insulting, even if she wanted to. But she didn’t.
“And… you’re not against it?”
“Noelle, look at us. I’m with a peasant just like you and Nozel is with a witch. We both would be hypocrites if we were against your relationship.” Nebra sighed deeply, before mumbling, “I don’t wanna be a hypocrite ever again.”
“Well, we can say you made some progress,” Zora mumbled, taking her hand. It was clear as crystal how flustered he and Nebra were right now.
The Bulls were still too stunned to make comments right now, not to mention to tease Zora.
“Wait!” Noelle suddenly yelled, angrily pointing at Vanessa and Zora. “I wanted to announce this to my siblings myself and all of you promised to keep the secret until then! You promised!”
“Noelle, I already knew before Vanessa had to make this promise to you,” Nozel replied, sounding somehow tired.
“That’s true,” Vanessa added with a not-so-sorry smile. “I actually told him that you were head over heels for Asta long before you both even got together.”
“And I saw you both kissing at that award ceremony a few weeks ago. Due to circumstances” Nebra said, flicking her hand, trying and failing to sound sure of herself.
“Oh, that was our first kiss,” Asta said innocently.
“That explains why you looked so… Nevermind. Well, I was together with Zora for a week already back then, so…”
“Yeah, Little Miss Royal here told me then, so the promise came a bit too late for me to take.”
“Oh.”
That was all Noelle could say.
“No way, seriously?” Yami groaned. “My squad is not the right place for your fricking triple royal romance drama!”
“Um, we didn’t choose to be all together at the same place and at the same time, we had no idea,” Nebra mumbled, discreetly trying to get behind Zora.
“Why are you even here, braids and Noelles sister?”
“Captain, be polite, her name is Nebra,” Noelle protested.
“You’re also not off the hook, Noelle.”
“What did I do now?”
“Just so you know, I didn’t choose to be here in the first place!” Nebra immediately replied, offended. “I just happened to lose a bet to my peasant and now, I have to spent the night here. Usually, we met up in my room-“
Zora swiftly put both of his hands on Nebras mouth, but of course, it was a bit too late.
“Wait, lady Nebra… you brought Zora… in your room… at the Silva palace?” Finral asked, while Noelle looked like she was about to faint. Everyone turned towards Nozel, waiting for the scolding.
Which didn’t came.
Instead, the captain of the Silver Eagles just let his free hand slowly glide down his face.
“Nebra, it would be highly wrong of me to scold you for… well, this. After all, I invited Vanessa at the palace a lot of times as well.”
Silence.
“WHAT?”
Vanessa just smiled.
“Okay, it seems to me that the both of you don’t appreciate our hideout as you should,” Yami said menacingly at Zora and Vanessa. “Tomorrow, you will-“
“No, they won’t,” Charlotte interrupted him firmly.
“Prickly Princess, I know how to handle my dumbasses.”
“They won’t do your punishment, because in that case, you’ll have to do it too, by your logic. Shall I remember you that I invited you at my place plenty of times and that you enjoyed it?”
“Dang it… why do you have such a grip on me, Prickly Princess? You hurt my delicate little heart here.”
“Delicate?” Nozel asked, stunned.
“Oy, Braids, don’t you dare say anything insulting about what I just said! And this applies to the rest of you as well!”
“I won’t… Given the grip Vanessa has on me…”
The two captains just looked at each other blankly. With maybe a glint of understanding.
“A lot is happening tonight,” Nero said, sounding like she was stating a fact.
“Too much. All those, well, surprises are giving me a headache,” Finral whimpered, rubbing his temples. “At this point, I will be not that surprise if another captain would appear all of a sudden as well. Or Solid Silva, while we’re at it.”
“Solid is not interested in romance in general and I highly doubt that he’s here too,” Nebra just shrugged, flicking her hand.
“That would be too much,” Noelle mumbled, only slowly recovering from the shock that two of her siblings not only know about her and Asta, but are also dating two of her squadmates.
“So, Zora, how do you find the Silva palace?” Vanessa asked with a smirk. It was difficult to say if she was cheery like usual or if she just tried to hide how flustered she maybe was. “I know mostly Nozels room and private bathroom, but I love it nonetheless. Oh, and the flower garden is amazing too. No wonder Silvas are so good at flower language.”
“Wait, he showed you the Silva flower garden?” Noelle asked in pure disbelief. After all, this flower garden had been the sanctuary of their mother and knowing Nozel, he would never invite some random person to visit that particular place of their castle.
“Oh my god, brother! You really are serious about her!” Nebra exclaimed, while pointing at Vanessa.
“Just because he showed her a flower garden?” Gauche asked.
“I never saw it with my own eyes, but I heard that it is the most beautiful flower garden in the kingdom of Clover,” Charlotte said.
“What is so special about flowers, anyways?” Magna groaned, only to be threaten again by Yami.
“Listen well, kiddo, I don’t care that braids showed Vanessa his fricking bloomy garden, but my prickly princess here has a high respect for flowers, so don’t insult her, got it?”
“Sir, yes, sir.”
“Yami, please, let him go!”
“Well, I haven’t seen much but Nebras room and her bathroom,” Zora answered, rubbing the back of his head. “I don’t complain about it most of the time, but,” he started snickering, finding again some smugness, “my Little Miss Royal here is not the soundest sleeper. I lost count about how many times I woke up on her carpet because she kicked me out of bed while she was asleep. Or how many times I woke up because she was hugging me like a plushie.”
“Hey, why are you blurting my darkest secrets to everyone? You don’t have my permission!”
“I don’t need your permission and you have darker secrets than your fucked up sleeping habits. Consider this a punishment for jumping out of my room like, revealing your true darkest secret – you being with a pestering peasant – to my whole squad and your siblings, plus another squad captain.”
“It was taking too long and I needed my plushie!”
“Come on, I gifted you a titanic plushie at your birthday, you could have took that one!”
“It’s in my bedroom at the palace, so I couldn’t! And even if I had, you know that you’re always my first plushie choice!”
“Wonder why, you always complain that I’m too bony to hug and that I talk way too much for a plushie!”
“Still my first choice! And don’t you say that you don’t love it to be hugged!”
“I prefer being hold like a fricking boyfriend, not like a fricking plushie!”
“Um, are they flirting or arguing? I can’t tell,” Magna mumbled, unsure.
“When are they going to fight?” Luck asked with enthusiasm.
“So… Zora gifted her that giant white tiger plushie I saw in her room during my last visit?” Noelle asked, looking at Nozel, who just looked so done at this point. Vanessa hugged him with compassion.
“Oh, don’t be so surprised,” Nebra told them with a flick of her hand. “Zora and I realized that insults seems to be our love language.”
“Is that even possible?” Asta asked, frowning.
“Well, as my girlfriend just said, it is possible, little bro-in-law.”
“Little… But Zora, neither of us are married with Noelle and Nebra, how can we already be brothers-in-law? And don’t call me little!”
“Sorry, but at this point, it’s like we’re already in-laws. And you’re smaller and younger than me, so you’re a lil’ bro-in-law.”
Zora didn’t say that given how most nobles and royals were, how classes were still important, how rumours could hurt more than they should, marrying their beloved won’t be an easy task. People would be against them, refusing to understand and trying to get them apart. And he knew that every Silva sibling present and the three who were dating one of said Silva siblings knew that, even an idiot like Asta.
But that wasn’t a discussion for now, in the middle of the night and of other Black Bulls. It was a discussion the three Silva couples would better have in small circle, with only the six of them.
And it probably wouldn’t be so funny and embarassing as that very scene right there.
“Geez,” Yami groaned, clearly so done with all of this. “Listen, before you plan some triple royal wedding-“
“It’s too early for that!” six voices yelled.
“-let me remind you that it’s the middle of the night and that you’re all lucky that my prickly princess is here, otherwise I would ground everyone present and make all of you sleep in their own room! But since Charlotte is here, I can’t do that, otherwise we both would have a fight right here and now, which would be impossible to make it future Yami’s problem. And yes, I would have asked Henry to make two separate bedrooms for the royal guests here.”
“That won’t have been necessary,” Vanessa pouted, hugging Nozel tightly. “I don’t like sleeping alone now that I have my Little Eagle.”
“And I still need my favourite plushie to sleep!”
Nozel and Zora both just sighed.
“What would captain have done if captain Charlotte weren’t present?” Asta asked quietly.
“Maybe he would have not be so flustered like he is now and he would have fun embarrass my brother,” Noelle whispered back.
“What was that, you brats?”
“Nothing, sir, sorry!”
“Can’t we change the subject, please?” Finral asked, flustered and done at the same time. “Or even better, going back to sleep? There’s a squad captains meeting tomorrow at noon and now I will have to escort three captains to that, not to mention-“
“Don’t worry, Finral,” Yami replied, suddenly all smug. “At least, my prickly princess will use an escort, Braids and I will-“
SMACK!
“Ouch! What was that for, prickly princess?”
“Whatever you were going to say… Don’t. Do. It.”
Yami groaned, but actually kept quiet.
“Woah, she really has a grip on him,” Asta said.
“Before you start teasing, dumbass, remember that the same applies for Noelle and you.”
“But, captain Yami sir, I never wanted to tease you, I swear!”
“Don’t lie.”
“I don’t!”
“La, what is all the fuss about? Don’t tell me you have all a midnight meal without me?”
Everyone present turned to see to Charmy coming towards them, the only Black Bull who wasn’t present until now. Except Nacht, but he wasn’t even in the Hideout tonight. Like usual, of course.
Two things were unusual with Charmy, though. Firstly, she was in her big form. Oh, she had learned to switch between her two forms, but she still stay mostly in the little version.
And secondly, she wasn’t alone…
“What is the captain of the Aqua Deer doing here?” Magna asked, totally dumbfounded.
“Great, now I have to escort four captains tomorrow,” Finral sighed, resigned with his Fate.
Charmy looked at Rill who came behind her, flustered and smiling awkwardly, before she turned towards the rest, announcing, “Oh, he’s my boyfriend, la. Did I forgot to tell you?”
“BOYFRIEND?”
“I thought Charmy told you already,” Rill said with an awkward smile.
“Wait, Glowing Hair,” Yami replied, stunned and menacingly at the same time, “you date Charmy, is that why you acted with sick familiarity with me lately?”
“Why, yes? You’re basically her dad and I hoped you’ll approve of me for Charmy. She already met my mother, who loved her immediately, as well as Walter, and she became so popular within my squad. My squad members even asked me if when we’ll have a party with the Black Bulls to celebrate our relationship. Um… that was to bold to ask, wasn’t it?”
“Celebrate?” Yami repeated, now completely dumbfounded. Charlotte hugged him with compassion.
“Then we should invite the Blue Roses and Silver Eagles as well, we can now have even more friends,” Gordon said, looking thrilled by this perspective.
“Oh, why that?” Rill and Charmy asked.
“Because captain Yami is dating captain Charlotte, Vanessa is obviously happy with captain Nozel and Zora is with Noelle’s sister.”
Rill and Charmy only realized that there weren’t only Black Bulls present in this corridor.
“Oh, really? Yami Charlotte, congratulations!” Rill said with excitement. “It was really about time that you get together. Oh, this means that I won my bet! William suggested me to bet on you two already be together.”
“Well, he was the only one who knew about Yami and me…”
“Nozel, you too, congratulations! It’s a surprise, really, you with Vanessa, but I’m really happy for you both!”
“Thank you, captain Rill! And congratulations for you and Charmy,” Vanessa said cheerfully, while Nozel only nodded.
“Thank you very much! Oh, you both look so beautiful together, I may paint a picture of you one day!”
Nozel and Vanessa just looked at each other, unsure how to react to that compliment, if it was one.
“Honeybun, I prefer when you paint food, you know, la.”
“Don’t worry, Cutie Pie, I will still paint all kind of delicious food for you. You’re my biggest inspiration.”
“I know that, la!”
“Of course those two would have food as their love language,” Gauche groaned.
“Oh, I shall congratulate Zora and lady Nebra as well.”
“Thanks, but no painting of us!”
“Captain Rill,” Nero said, “Asta and Noelle are also a couple.”
“Oh, really?” Rill exclaimed, immediately shaking Astas hands. “Congratulations, you two! Ah, this is really amazing, Asta! Maybe we should have a double date one day.”
“Yeah, that would be nice,” Asta replied, smiling widely. Noelle just hide her face behind her hands, complaining that it was so impossible to have some privacy at the Black Bulls hideout. Nebra awkwardly put a hand on her little sisters head, in a rare attempt to comfort her.
“For fuck’s sake!” Yami finally yelled, making almost everyone flinch. Charlotte still hold him firmly, though.
“Seriously, what’s with all the sleepovers all in one night at my base? I accept my prickly queen, of course, but the rest? Don’t tell me this was all really a coincidence and not some kind of conspiracy!”
“Alright captain Yami, we won’t tell you,” Vanessa replied, holding her boyfriend firmly.
Charlotte went on her tiptoes and whispered something in Yamis ear, which made him sigh with resignation.
“Fine… You’re all really lucky that Charlotte is here, fellas, or else. Well, while we’re at it, does anyone else hiding someone for a sleepover? We better get all cats out of the bag at this point.”
“Um,” Finral interjected, “does it have to be of romantic nature?”
“Nope, would be a nice change with all those stupid night surprises.”
“Okay, then. Langris, you can come out!”
Finrals brother came now out of his room, wearing one of Finrals pyjamas and his hair not styled at all. Given the uncertain and half-amused glance he gave everyone, Langris must have heard everything.
“Oh, hello there, Finrals little brother!” Vanessa said with a giggle, waving at Langris.
“Um, good evening, Black Bulls… and Silver Eagles and Aqua Deer. And congratulations to the present couples, I guess.”
“Why, thank you, that’s so nice to say!”
“Vanessa, he said I guess, which means that he’s not sure,” Gauche groaned, putting a hand on Greys head, before he turned to Langris, “What the hell are you doing here?”
“Finral gave me sanctuary for the night,” Langris just replied.
“You have to know, my stepmother organized a tea party today, that is basically… a matchmaking ball. Since Finesse is going to marry me and not my brother in the end, she wanted to give him a much bigger wedding ceremony than the one planned for me. But for that he needs a betrothed… and Langris isn’t clearly on board for this project.”
“Not at all, to be precise.”
“Right. So, I invited him to stay with me for the night. This is, um, okay, I hope. Right captain Yami?”
“Finral, you’re lucky that I always need my wheels and that I have I very good reason to not argue, this night,” Yami groaned, pointing at Charlotte who just sighed.
“Captain Yami, can we please inviting Rills butler for breakfast, tomorrow morning?” Charmy asked out of the blue.
“What, another one, really? This base is not an inn, for fucks sake!”
“But Walter makes such divine waffles and they would be perfect for breakfast!”
“Of course there’s a food reason. Fine then. But don’t make a habit out of it!”
“Yes!” Charmy squealed in happiness, before happily taking Rills hand and going back to her bedroom.
The rest just stood silent and awkwardly in the hallway in front of Yamis room.
A few seconds past like that, maybe one minute, before the captain of the Black Bulls was once and for all fed up.
“Okay, everyone just go back to their rooms and they can take their sweethearts if they want, I don’t care!”
“You only say that because you don’t want captain Charlotte to sleep in another room, captain Yami?” Asta asked innocently.
“Watch out what you’re saying, dumbass.”
There was some more awkward silence, until Nozel sighed deeply and to everyone surprises, pulled Vanessa up to carry her bridal style.
“Well, good night, everyone,” Vanessa said with glee, obviously enjoying that Nozel was carrying her. “We’ll see each other at breakfast.”
Nozel only nodded, before turning around and leaving the hallway. The rest heard Vanessa sigh and saw her snuggling her head against his neck.
Nebra and Noelle especially looked surprised but fondly at their brother carrying his girlfriend away until he disappeared, before turning towards Zora and Asta respectively.
“Don’t even think about it, Little Miss Royal.”
“Well, you’re lucky that I’m tired right now and that I’m not a romantic in general.”
With that, Nebra took Zoras and dragged him back into his room. Noelle was still looking at Asta.
“You’re not that tired, right Noelle? You can walk on your own?”
“Argh, why are still so oblivious even after we got together, stupid Dorksta!”
Noelle walked away, semi-offended, while it suddenly made click in Astas head as he ran after her.
“Wait, Noelle! Why didn’t you say you wanted that in a romantic way? Is it really okay for you? I can still do it, wait for me! No, no water ball!”
“Alright, prickly princess, time to go to bed,” Yami finally said while taking Charlotte over his shoulder, as she was a bag of potatoes.
“Yami, why are you only openly caring and romantic when we’re all alone?” the captain of the Blue Roses asked, pouting and crossing her arms.
“Because you’re the only one who has the privilege to see that side of me, prickly princess.”
Charlotte blushed as Yami laughed loudly, before they both disappeared in his bedroom, knocking the door shut.
The rest of the Bulls and Langris still stand awkwardly before one by one finally went back in their own rooms. To be noted, Gauche took Grey with him.
“Well, I didn’t except that for our, well, first brother sleepover,” Finral said with an apologetic smile, as he and Langris were back in his room.
“This is the Black Bulls hideout, it was to be expected,” Langris replied, sitting on the mattress which was on the floor. “Thank for giving me sanctuary, brother. I don’t think I could have handled my mother’s matchmaking tea party. One day, I’ll invite you over at the Golden Dawn’s base, as a repay.”
“You don’t need to repay me, but I would love to spent the night at a more calmer squad one day,” Finral replied. “So, about the Silvas… you actually stood calm. I’m really proud of you, Langris.”
“I was in shock, honestly. That helped to give a calm impression. But honestly, the fact that lord Nozel, lady Nebra and lady Noelle are with people out of their circles would be a relief for the both of us. I just don’t know how he would react, about them with Black Bulls. He is still pretty difficult, you know.”
“He’s with you, so he’ll come around, I’m sure of it. But maybe it’s time that both of you finally tell them about your relationship.”
“After tonight, it’s only a matter of time before he learns. I need to get him more or less ready for the news of his siblings. But you know Solid and the Silvas, it’s going to be an awkward disaster for everyone, no matter what we’ll do. At least, maybe I’ll have a good laugh.”
Langris snickered and Finral just sighed. With that state of mind, it would come back to bite his brother.

The Big Black Clover Fanfic Recommendation Post
I've been talking about making that post since forever and I think I've finally finished compiling them!
So. Grab a notepad. Take out your TBR list. Get ready to bookmark or mark for later. And let's go.
Tumblr media
I guess I should start with a few disclaimers 🫡
I haven't read every fic out there and there are notably a few fics I know I'm going to love but haven't started yet. I think I'll update the post regularly.
The fics on this post are fics I enjoyed and remember having read. considering how many things I forget on a daily basis, it means a lot.
I have my favorite characters, tropes, and themes and this will definitely show.
I'm attempting to organize the fics in categories but ofc some shippy fics also have feels or are angsty or are fluffy, same for the AUs... An attempt is made to organize them based on the vibes I remember (I’ve read some of those literal years ago).
If you're in this post and you think I've put your fic in the wrong category: don't hesitate to reach out!
For the shippy fics, I have my favorite ships but I'm a multishipper sooooo there's that.
I'm recommending oneshots, multichaptered fics, entire AUs, series and fics that are unfinished and probably never will be. Do keep that in mind if you don't like reading abandoned works (you'll be missing out but I can understand).
Let's start! It'll be a long one.

In Noelle's defense, it was all Kahono's fault.

💚 Teenagers, Kaitouahiru
Yami was going to talk to Julius about the recruitable age of Magic Knights. Make no mistake, Yami did not care that fifteen year olds were being put in dangerous or life threatening situations. He didn’t care that they could be drafted to go to war if the situation called for it. He cared that almost none of these brats knew how to do basic home skills.

Yami knew three things. First, that being a squad captain was shaping up to be a lot like fatherhood, and second, he was definitely not cut out for that shit. Third. Well. Julius had a lot to answer for, that was for sure. The least he could do was help a bit.
