ā˜†Staringā˜†: Azul Ashengrotto, Vil Schoenheit and Malleus Draconia.
Synopsis: Their reaction to their s/o wearing their clothes
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto
You poked his cheek again, getting impatient, he sighs and looks at you, you had a visible upset pout on your face that caused him to chuckle slightly ā€œMy little sea angel, can you hold on just a bit longer? Iā€™m almost doneā€ he pleaded whilst turning his attention back to the papers on his desk.
You groaned and sat on the floor, you were bored out of your mind waiting for him, ā€œthis is the third time youā€™ve said thatā€¦ā€ you mumbled, ā€œI knowā€¦I know, Iā€™m sorry, Iā€™ll be done shortly okay?ā€ He cooed kissing your forehead. You looked up at his desk, he still had so much to finishā€¦ ā€œAzul, maybe I should just go homeā€¦you look really busy and I donā€™t want you to rush if because of meā€ you stood up from the floor.
He pulls you closer to him causing you to lightly plop on his lap, ā€œNoooo donā€™t leave. I promise Iā€™ll be done soonā€¦ā€ he whines squeezing your waist with his arms. You yourself really didnā€™t want to leave aswell, so you nodded and promised youā€™ll stay.
ā€œYou can wait for me in my room, itā€™s much comfier thereā€ he says and you lit up with excitement, there were only a few instances where you got to stay in Azulā€™s room, and be all by yourselfā€¦he never really left you there in fear youā€™d find his pictures from when he was younger.
ā€œKay!! Iā€™ll go set the movie!! Iā€™ll wait for you byeee!ā€ You stood up from his lap and ran out, Azul could only laugh in both nervousness and adoration from your excitement. When you got there your eyes sparkled with curiosity, you didnā€™t wanna make a mess of course but you sure did take your time to look and search every corner of his room.
You did find his album and maybbeeee took pictures of his baby photos on your phone, when you had nothing to do and Azul still hasnā€™t arrived, one particular thing caught your interest. His closet
You skimmed through his clothes and found another pair of his dorm uniform, probably from his first year since it was a bit smaller than his new one, an idea popped in your head and you hurriedly changed into it. And yes you even included the fedora and scarf.
You looked at yourself in the mirror and giggled, though it was a smaller version, it was still a little big for you, you took pictures and posed while laughing. Then you start to remember Azulā€™s little habits and started acting like him.
You sat on his desk pretending to do paper work ā€œLater Y/n, Iā€™m busy with boring papersā€ you mimicked his voice as best as you could. Laughing at yourself in between sentences. You started to get in character more and didnā€™t notice the time passing. Soon Azul entered the room to see you standing in front of his bed facing away from him, a hand on your hip and the other holding a doodled contact you made.
ā€œHey youā€¦yeah Iā€™m talking to you octo-plush, make a deal with meā€¦ā€œ you said holding the doodled contract up to the octopus plushy Azul bought youā€¦ he laughs quietly before clearing his throat ā€œIā€™ll make a deal with you instead.ā€ He says suddenly, you turned to face him in panic, so much so that the fedora that was too big for your head slanted, covering your face, you quickly took off the hat and looked at your boyfriend who had the biggest grin on his face.
Unbeknownst to you, your face had already tinted red, he laughs at the sight. He walks up to you and cups your face in his hands peppering you with kisses, ā€œYou look cute in my clothes sea angel, do you wanna keep them?ā€ He asks with the softest tone. You nodded with smile, ā€œOkay, Iā€™ll let you, but only because you make a convincing ā€˜Azulā€™ you might just fool the twins if you wanted toā€ he teased. Earning an eye roll from you,
He kisses your cheek once more and lets your face go ā€œAs much as I love to see you in those, I know they arenā€™t comfy, so why dont we both get changed and start the movie?ā€ he took the scarf off you and hung it up, ā€œYeah okay, I was just going to do that before you came in anywaysā€ you said while walking to the bathroom to change
ā€œAre you sure? You seemed busy trying to persuade octo-plush to sign the contractā€ he teases again while taking his tie off, ā€œShut uuupppā€ you whined in the bathroom, and he laughed, once you both got changed you cuddled up in his bed and watched the movie, and no the teasing did not stop.
Tumblr media
Vil Schoenheit
You accompanied him in one of his photo shoots today, he wanted to see you there as he was posing for the camera, thinking youā€™d be mesmerized by his beauty. It turned to be the other way around, Vil is always professional, not distracted by eyes or mumbles and whispers from around him.
You were a different case though, since you were his ā€˜beloved potatoā€™ā€¦ ā€œOkay I think we should take five everyone!ā€ The photographer announced, Vil wasnā€™t at his best today, mainly because you flash him the prettiest smiles when he glances over to you during his photoshoot. Part of him also wants to blame that heā€™s tired but we all know thatā€™s an excuse to go home early so he can spend time with you.
You meet him half way, jogging over to him with a water bottle, a mirror and and his make up bag in hand. He mouths a small thanks and drinks as you hold up the mirror for him. You stared at him with pure awe in your face ā€œso prettyā€¦ā€ you unknowingly mumble out loud. Vil looks up from the mirror to meet your eyes, the look on your face was enough to make him erupt in a fit of laughter.
You tilt your head to the side, confused at his reaction, suddenly you were pulled closer to your lover and showered with soft feather like kisses leaving lipstick stains on all over your face. ā€œDearest, I love you, I do but sometimes you make me wonder if your really an enchantress whoā€™s got a love spell on meā€ he jested, framing your face with his hands. ā€œHey even if I did you donā€™t mind right?ā€ You joked back, smiling up at him.
He rolled his eyes and huffed, ā€œWell, if youā€™re little spell kept me from focusing on my job then yes I do mindā€¦ā€ you felt him repeatedly pinch your cheeks softly, ā€œWhat do you mean? Iā€™m not doing anythingā€¦ā€ you defended, ā€œYouā€™re being a menace by being so adorable, and you dont even know it!ā€ he declared
You pretended to be offend with a huge dramatic gasp ā€œVil Schoenheit are you saying Iā€™m a distraction??ā€ You squinted your eyes pretending to be mad ā€œIndeed potato, a very eye pleasing, heart wrenching distraction.ā€ He laughs pulling out his phone to snap a picture of your kiss mark covered face.
ā€œSo, I need you to stay in my dressing room for the time beingā€ he says as he posts the picture he took just now on his magicamā€™s story, ā€œWhat?? But I came here to watch you work!ā€ You whined, ā€œYes I know, But Iā€™m never going to finish if I keep looking at you instead of the camera darlingā€¦ā€ you opened your mouth to further protest but Vil cuts you off with a quick peck on your lips, leaving you defeated.
ā€œItā€™s only until I finish potato, and hey you can even play around with the clothes and make up, play dress up while I workā€ he cooed, sighing you agreed with a nod, ā€œOkayā€¦Iā€™ll wait for you in thereā€¦ā€ he smiled and kissed your forehead again, you wanted to kiss him too but in fear of ruining his make up last minute, you just kissed his hand and mouthed a little goodluck before he walked back infront of the camera.
You entered his dressing room, deep down you knew it would be huge and grand, but NOT THIS HUGE AND GRAND, the rotating shoe wrack was something you thought you could only see in movies, not just that, bags, jewelry, fancy tops, clothes, even dresses?? Your boyfriendā€™s closet could put every mall out of businessā€¦ā€heā€™s rightā€¦I can play dress up hereā€¦ā€ and so you did. (Right after you took off the kiss marks ofc)
Hours passed like seconds as you indulged in the variety of options you had in there, a particular piece did caught your eye though, you remembered Vil wearing it on one of his many many events, he looked so beautiful in it, it made you wonder if you could look as pretty in it as he was.
You put it on very carefully not wanting to damage it in anyway, it was a little big on you, but it didnā€™t look bad, you stared at your reflection in the mirror, the outfit looked stunning, it felt so nice but you laughed thinking you didnā€™t suit it. ā€œItā€™s pretty, but I think Vil wore it a lot better, I donā€™t do this outfit any justice at allā€ you said aloud, talking to yourself while you look down at the clothing.
ā€œNow thatā€™s just preposterousā€¦you look amazing in it, it should be honored to be worn by you.ā€ Vilā€™s voice suddenly came from behind you, you shot up and met his gaze in the mirror as he walked behind you. ā€œVil! Y-Youā€™re done? Wow time went by that quick! I didnā€™t hear you come inā€¦ā€ you stammered, face heating up from embarrassment as he hummed in response and hugged you from behind.
ā€œI was just about to..take it offā€¦ā€ you fiddled with your hands, ā€œWhy?ā€ He asked, voice vibrating through you due to how close he is, ā€œWellā€¦itā€™s your clothesā€¦arenā€™t you mad?ā€ You asked him, ā€œWhy would I be mad? Iā€™m the one who told you to play dress upā€¦ā€ he chuckled ā€œPlus I had the privilege to see you look so lovely wearing my clothesā€¦.ā€ He added turning you to face him.
ā€œOh pleaseā€¦ā€ you laughed at his compliments, ā€œNo wait, I am mad about one thingā€¦ā€ the color drained from you as you looked up at him in fear, ā€œthe audacityā€¦ā€ he started, ā€œYou wiped off my kiss marks? How dare you!ā€ He jokingly exclaimed, you looked at him deadpanned. ā€œWell I couldnā€™t look pretty with kiss marks all over my face!ā€ You said
ā€œHmā€¦funny, My magicamā€™s story reactions said otherwiseā€ he showed you, the picture he took earlier posted on his magicamā€™s story, ā€œYou posted it?!ā€ You face once again grew tinted looking at all the views and reactions on his post. ā€œI had to share the object of my affection to the world so they can adore you as muchā€ he proclaimed. You turned your back to him, making a bee line to the small changing room with an upset face.
Once you came out, you were once again smothered in affection, ā€œWill you take my love as an apology gift?ā€ He asked, ā€œTreat me for dinner and I just might take you up on that offerā€¦ā€ you negotiated, ā€œfine, I get to pick the restaurant thoughā€¦ā€ he says ā€œMmkay, lets go Iā€™m starving..ā€ you held his hand as you both walk out of the dressing room.
Donā€™t worry, after that, Vil will surely take you back there to play dress up, this time with him present.
Tumblr media
Malleus Draconia
ā€œI wonder if heā€™s feeling better?ā€ You asked yourself as you were waiting for Lilia outside the dormitory of diasomnia, your fae prince has recently caught a cold, normally Lilia wouldā€™ve been able to take care of Malleus himself like he always does, however since a certain someone (you) came alongā€¦Malleus always looks for you to come take care of him.
ā€œOh thank the 7 from above you cameā€¦ā€ Lilia said his dorm uniform ragged and his hair a mess, ā€œoh god what happened?? Are you okay???ā€ You frantically asked, walking inside the dormitory, there you were met with large thorns engulfing the furniture, crawling up on the walls and some were even fighting the students.
ā€œWhat the hell is going on???ā€ You panicked, ā€œItā€™s simple really, your boyfriend is getting crankier by the minute and if he doesnā€™t see you heā€™ll tear this dormitory apart brick by brickā€ Lilia started pushing you up the staircase to go to Malleusā€™s room in a hurry, Infront of Malleusā€™s door stood Silver and Sebek, you cant tell if theyā€™re relieved to see you or scared for your well beingā€¦
ā€œWelp! in you go, stay safe!ā€ Lilia shoves you inside and locks the door behind you. Everything went by so fast you barely had processed it, suddenly a low grumbling noise interrupted your train of thought. ā€œOh shitā€¦ā€ you whispered, whilst gripping on to the basket filled with stuff you bought for sick tsunotaro.
You gulped before taking another step, when you did though, he seemed to sense it sending you another low growl, his back was turned so he couldnā€™t see who you were. Slowly you crept up closer behind him, you reached out to rub his back for him to know itā€™s you ā€œHey Malā€”ā€œ before you could even begin to, thorns flew out of nowhere grabbing your arm.
Good thing you were quick enough to dodge it, only sacrificing the cloth of your sleeve and a few scratches from the thorns. ā€œAhā€¦ā€ you winced and hissed at the little wounds in your arm. Malleus turned to you angrily, as he didnā€™t know it was his loverā€¦the moment he found out though. His expression changed into an apologetic one.
The truth of it all was that heā€™d been waiting for you the whole day, but since you had classes and other stuff he had to bare being sick without you beside him. He quick but gently embraced you, pulling you into his arms burying himself in your hair and his tail coiling around your leg wanting to have more of your warmth. There you felt how cold he wasā€¦ before you could ask him if he was okay, once again you were interrupted.
ā€œIā€™m sorry my love, I didnā€™t know it was youā€¦usually Iā€™d be able to feel you when youā€™re near but Iā€™m afraid this cold is getting the best of meā€¦ Iā€™m really sorryā€ he apologizes, voice coarse and tired. You managed you wriggle out his arms a little, and you grabbed the basket you accidentally dropped on the floor, you took out the soup you made that was in a small container, thankful it didnā€™t spill.
You gently pulled away from the hug and cupped his face in your warm hands, ā€œItā€™s okayā€¦you donā€™t have to apologize, I understand, I get cranky on my sick days tooā€¦ā€ you smiled up at him taking your hand off his face to open the container. ā€œHere, I made it for you, itā€™ll help you get warmer so youā€™ll feel betterā€¦ā€ you held a spoon up to his mouth and he obediently eats the food youā€™ve prepared for him.
You stopped after he finished half of it as you didnā€™t want him to throw up later, you were packing it away when he saw your torn up clothing, He stood up carefully and rummaged through his drawers for a nightshirt he could lend you, the least thing he wants for you right now is to get cold aswell. ā€œMalleus what are you looking for? Get back in bed, Iā€™ll look for itā€ you stood beside him telling him to rest.
Just then he pulled out one of his nightshirts and gave it to you, ā€œWear it, youā€™ll get coldā€ he said and coughed right after. Your heart softened ā€œHeyā€¦Iā€™m supposed to be the one caring for youā€¦dont do my jobā€ you jokingly scolded as you helped him back to bed. He looked up at you as you put a blanket over him as if begging you to change. Part of him really was concerned that youā€™d get cold but a part of him just wants to see you in his clothes, to have his scent engulfed in yours. You sighed ā€œOkayā€¦Iā€™ll go change and Iā€™ll be right backā€ you gave in, kissing his forehead
His nightshirt was way bigger than your size, given that this man is literally 202cm. You went out expecting Malleus to be asleep but instead he was sitting up and looking right your direction, his face shocked, lovestruck, and at the same time tiredā€¦. ā€œMalleusā€¦I told you to get some restā€ you hands fell your hips as you walked towards him. He pulled you in with his tail, once again wrapping his arms around you, his face buried in your hair and his tail coiling around your leg.
ā€œI cant rest without you beside meā€¦ā€ he mumbled quietly, purring softly, taking in your warmth, you looked up at him smiling, you felt as if you were melting in his arms, you leveled your face with his, inching closer, he closed his eyes expecting a kiss on his lips, but was disappointed when you only kissed his noseā€¦you laughed at his unsatisfied expression.
ā€œMy prince, I canā€™t kiss you there even if I wanted to, I have to take care of you, not get us both sickā€ you said, touching your forehead with his. He understands but he just really craves for your affection right now, grumbling once again, you were forced to lay him on your chest and shower him with kisses, (except for his lips). Now being satisfied he resumes his purring and cuddled closer to you.
ā€œWear my clothes more oftenā€¦ā€ he says, ā€œhm? Why?ā€ You asked, caressing his horns, ā€œYouā€™ll have my scent mixed with yoursā€¦that way theyā€™ll know your my belovedā€¦ā€ he says before drifting on to sleep as you felt you get warmer, not even knowing that the reason why, is because of what he said. You didnā€™t disagree though, you loved wearing his clothes aswell, it makes you feel safe. Slowly your eyelids also grew heavier and the both of you slept in each otherā€™s comfort.

ā”ˆā—¦ā€¢ā—¦ā„ā€¢ā—¦ | In their ways...
SYNOPSIS: Uh oh! It seems you have fallen ill! Not to worry dear prefect, they will look after you, albeit in their own ways.
CHARACTERS: Riddle Rosehearts; Leona Kingscholar; Azul Ashengrotto; Jamil Viper; Vil Schoenheit; Idia Shroud; Malleus Draconia
TAGS: Fluff; Established Relationships; Hurt/Comfort; Sickfic

He couldn't help his smile. You were just too cute. Few would beg to differ, what with your snotty nose and whistling breaths, but they wouldn't dare defy the Queen. Lest they lose their heads. He probably shouldn't allow you to take him as your personal pillow, after all he had so much to do. But... A rest won't hurt him. And even if it weren't for you, Trey would have forced his rest.
Tumblr media
Stupid Ruggie... That soup he gave you should have worked an hour ago. Yet, here he is, still suffering through your little whimpers. The twitching stopped though and so did the tossing and turning. So, small wins for now. He probably should have taken you to the infirmary already, but it's his nap time and he's not going to lose his (favorite) pillow. You were the perfect size for cuddling too, what with your small back fitting perfectly into his chest as his arms cradled you so. Tch... Stupid herbivore, why'd ya have to go and get sick?
Tumblr media
The little coughs from the couch pulled at his heartstrings. A strange thing to feel while also simultaneously hooking a poor unfortunate soul into one of his contracts. But his heart still sang whenever he sees you resting on the couch in the VIP room. You were quite sick and loopy when you first plopped down into the couch, so in his benevolence, he draped his coat over your form. Nothing will come bother you here, he'll ensure it.
Tumblr media
The chicken soup is taking too long, he muttered to himself. Your skin burnt as hot as the desert sands, which was concerning to say the least. Even Kalim's fevers weren't this bad. What made it worse had been the fact that you came into the Scarabian kitchens with the fluffiest blanket Kalim had gifted you and your frame still shivered through all those layers. He silently thanked the Sevens for giving him the time to look after you too, since Kalim had been at the Light Music Club. He'll dedicate his life to you should you let him.
Tumblr media
He couldn't bring himself to scold you. Your bleary eyes and red skin told him all he needed to know. A nasty flu afflicted you and you came to him for help. He's quite flattered. Normally, he'd start applying skin care products while listening to your latest escapades but today he simply tucked you into his bed. After your soft scratchy voice asked him so nicely, how could he refuse? Besides, washers were there for a reason. He left you to rest as he dashed around for flu remedies. At least he would have if it weren't for your whines, begging him to stay for just a little longer.
Tumblr media
His hands kept readjusting themselves on your form, making you groan at him as you tightened your grip on his neck. He was sure you could hear his heart beating out of his chest, after all you did nuzzle yourself into his neck and hair. Speaking of his hair, he was also pretty sure you saw the pink glow from under your closed eyelids. His hair never shined so brightly before. But Ortho left him to get some medicine for you, which is cool. KK, GG. But he's gonna get KO'ed if he hears another contented squeak from you.
Tumblr media
Your weight had been quite a relief upon his chest. He started to worry when he heard your scratchy voice politely asking him to cuddle you. He obliged, of course. Your form curled itself into a ball as he held onto you to trace every dip and divet he could find with his fingers. Your skin burned hot, indicating your fever. A voice very similar to Lilia's scolded him for not taking you to the infirmary, but he couldn't bring himself to move. After all, humans needed to rest when they're sick, yes?
Tumblr media
A/N: Ani not posting Genshin content?! More likely than you think. Anyway, I wrote this when I was sick. So most of what the reader has, I had. Fever, runny nose, the whole works. And can you spot who are my favorites? šŸ‘€ And I redid my formatting, if you couldn't tell. what am i saying it's been so long since i posted a fic

SSR Malleus Draconia - Platinum Jacket Vignette
"Happy 100th Anniversary"
Tumblr media
[Land of Dawning ā€“ National Museum of Art]
Malleus: So, this is the Land of Dawning National Museum of Artā€¦ It's much more impressive than I had imagined. Very fascinating to see their exhibits touch on varied matters of import.
Malleus: Art galleries in Briar Valley generally feature art exhibits revolving around fae lore. This is a refreshing visit.
Malleus: This place does seem to have a few works of art that I can place, however. And I see that paintings that depict the Thorn Fairy seem to still gather a crowd here.
Tumblr media
???: Look at all them surrounding just one person in full forceā€¦ That's just cowardly.
Malleus: No need to chide them, Spade. It's cruel enough to expect those children of man to hold their own against a great and powerful being.
Deuce: Dā€¦ DRACONIA-SENPAI!? HELLO, SIR!
Malleus: Hmph, don't bristle so. We can take this prime opportunity to study this painting together.
Malleus: When the Thorn Fairy visited human lands, she was immediately met with animosityā€¦
Malleus: The number of art pieces that depict this very story is numerous, even in Briar Valley. We even had one displayed in the castle I was raised in.
Malleus: When I was a wee ladā€¦ My tutors would constantly tell me to grow up to "be a mage as great and powerful as her."
Deuce: Yourā€¦ tutors!? There were people that could actually teach you something!?
Malleus: Of course.Ā  I had some of the finest mages in Briar Valley at my disposal.
Malleus: I often found my history and etiquette lessons to be of great interestā€¦ But there was no one who could instruct me in the ways of magic.
Malleus: Of course, that would be because everything from their magical power levels to their actual capabilities were far below me in strength.
Deuce: Wow, that's amazingā€¦ Can't believe you were that strong from a young age.
Malleus: That is nothing too surprising. My grandmother possessed formidable magic, and so did my mother, I hear.
Malleus: However, it took me quite some time to fully understand the difference in strength between myself and those around me.
Malleus: "Why are you teaching me something so ridiculously simple?" I'd angrily wail every class. "Are you underestimating me?"
Malleus: Every time I sent a tutor packing, my guardian wouldn't hesitate to scold me mercilessly.
Deuce: You're saying there was someone who could even scold you!? Briar Valley is way too intenseā€¦
Malleus: Even I would listen to the advice of a trusted person. When I think back on it, I certainly had my more immature moments.
Malleus: Only incidents such as burning the gardens to a desolate crisp, or destroying castle towers by calling down lightning strikes, however.
Deuce: THOSE ARE HUGE INCIDENTS!!
Deuce: Ack! If I make Draconia-senpai angry now, the museum might be in troubleā€¦!?
Malleus: No worries, I am no longer a child. I would not do such a thing as destroy a museum filled with priceless artifacts on a mere whim.
Malleus: It would be more logical for me to punish the offending target than affect my surroundings in my ire, would it not?
Tumblr media
[Land of Dawning ā€“ National Museum of Art]
Tumblr media
Deuce: That's a painting of the Lord of the Underworld being displayed there. And those two guys with him, they'reā€¦
Malleus: They must be his retainers. It is said that they would obediently carry out his commands and go to great lengths to do so for him.
Deuce: Yeahā€¦ I always imagined the Underworld to be dark and scary, but these two look pretty nice.
Malleus: It will come back to bite you if you make assumptions based on appearances, Spade. Apparently, these two were skilled shapeshifters.
Malleus: There are tales of how they would use this skill in order to back any villainous adversaries into a corner.
Malleus: If they did not possess that raw competence, I'm certain that they would not have been depicted in these works of art.
Deuce: I bet the Lord of the Underworld would be proud to hear that tales of his subordinates are still passed down for generations.
Malleus: To have the tales of his subordinates passed down for generationsā€¦ Yes, I could sympathize with that.
Malleus: Within the royal family of Briar Valley, there is a tradition that at a certain age we may select our own attendants and guards.
Malleus: I would also be very proud indeed if someone I personally selected were to be acknowledged by the masses, as well as future generations to come.
Deuce: Right? But man, when you talk about attendants and guardsā€¦ It just feels like we live in two completely different worlds.
Deuce: It's pretty amazing that you always have someone who's looking out for you and your daily needs, though.
Malleus: It also can be a headache. Back in the castle, I would be surrounded by other people day in and day out, simply there to fix my attire or my hair and the like.
Malleus: When my acceptance to Night Raven College was ascertained, my life was unburdened tremendously.
Malleus: My guardian stated to me, "You'll have to learn how to take care of yourself enough that you can survive on your own," and soā€¦
Malleus: I would read books from the outside world that were provided to me, and found the wealth of knowledge fascinating.
Malleus: Those books granted me an abundance of knowledge, such as how to go shopping, or how to work laundry machines and other electrical appliances.
Deuce: He learned how to use electrical appliances from reading a bookā€¦!? He really was raised in a completely different environment.
Deuce: But honestly, I really can't believe that you go shopping on your own, or do your own laundryā€¦ Today is full of surprises.
Malleus: ā€¦Well, Sebek does insist on tending to my needs. And there is much I do leave to him.
Deuce: Ahahaā€¦ Yeah, Sebek has boasted about stuff in the past, saying something like, "I had the honor of hand-washing Malleus-sama's clothing!"
Malleus: ā€¦I can absolutely picture that, despite the fact that I had been perfectly fine doing my own laundry before he started to attend this academy.
Malleus: Although, for some time after I arrived here, there was no end to the number of difficulties I had due to my inexperience.
Malleus: For example, there was this one instance when I knew not the location of the laundry roomā€¦ and chose to hand-wash my garments in the kitchen sink instead.
Deuce: EH!?
Malleus: ā€¦My fellow dormmates who encountered that spectacle in the kitchen had the same reaction as you just now.
Malleus: I inquired as to where the laundry room was, but all froze as if petrification had been cast upon themā€¦
Malleus: When it seemed they finally had returned to their senses, they insisted on allowing them to do my laundry.
Malleus: In that moment, I had been swept up in their persistence, butā€¦ It does me no good to leave it for others to do.
Malleus: Sometimes I do clean my clothes with magic as I oft did back home, but I do try to use the laundry machine when I can as well.
Malleus: There aren't many who use the laundry room in the early morning or late night.
Malleus: After some trial and error, I was able to figure out how to properly use the washer, as well as the dryer.
Deuce: Even though you could totally clean everything with magic in the blink of an eyeā€¦ It's so cool to see how you're always working to improve even when no one's watching!
Malleus: Of course, as it should be. Seeing that I am a student at this school, I must also learn what I can from my peers.
Tumblr media
[Land of Dawning ā€“ National Museum of Art]
Tumblr media
Malleus: Oho, I see this museum also carries a variable assortment of paintings depicting merfolk legends as well.
Deuce: She has a real big smileā€¦ But hey, look at that wave behind her! Was the ocean waters that choppyā€¦?
Malleus: This depicts the moment the mermaid princess made the determination to go to the surface.
Malleus: That large wave behind her represents her courageous decisionā€¦ Or at least, it most likely represents that.
Deuce: Woah, that sounds like it could beā€¦! Draconia-senpai, do you know a lot about paintings?
Malleus: I briefly touched upon it as part of my education.
Malleus: I would not say I do not hold an appreciation for art. Rather than paintings, however, I do prefer three-dimensional objectsā€¦ sculptures, especially.
Deuce: When you say sculptures, you mean the ones made out of stone or bronzeā€¦ right? I'm sorry, I really don't know anything about those stuff.
Malleus: You are more or less on the correct path.
Malleus: Take the statues of the Great Seven at our academy, for instance. Sometimes they are regarded as simply part of the backdrop on campusā€¦
Malleus: But as years pass, both stone and bronze statues will gradually change in appearance.
Malleus: Caretakers will come and go, and the outdoor elements will constantly batter themā€¦ Their similarities to the original mold would change over time to no small extent.
Malleus: Some may perceive this as mere "deterioration," butā€¦
Malleus: As for me, I believe that changes in those statues are in fact a profound thing.
Malleus: Whenever I encounter one that looks entirely different than what it originally should have looked, I cannot help but feel as though it has lived a good, long life.
Deuce: So basically, they're living pieces of artā€¦?
Malleus: Heh. A wonderful interpretation, Spade.
Deuce: I don't really get how that was good, but that was him praising me just now, right? Uh, thank you!
Malleus: If you find yourself interested in sculptures, you should seek me out once more.
Malleus: I can explain to you at length not only about stone sculptures and bronze sculptures, but also gargoyles as well.
Deuce: Gargoylesā€¦?
Malleus: Ah, so you aren't familiar with them. No matter. I'll start with explaining what they areā€¦
Deuce: Uhhhhā€¦ Wait, uh, I was actually thinking about asking Rosehearts-ryōchō about the paintings with the Card Soldiers!
Deuce: Please, I hope you can wait for another opportunity to explain it all to me! I'll be leaving now, Draconia-senpai!
Malleus: He shouldn't run in the museum like soā€¦ I fear it is only a matter of time before the sound of Rosehearts' ireful shouts fill the halls.
Malleus: Really now, humans sure are always in a hurry. I think I'll take my time taking in the exhibits in the museum.
Tumblr media
Malleus: Oh, what do we have hereā€¦? This is a painting of the princess who was blessed by the diurnal faes.
Malleus: What a lively birthday celebration. I wonder if I would have been invited to attend, had I lived in those timesā€¦
Malleus: ā€¦Hmph, they would do well to carefully think about who to invite to their celebrations. For if I were not invited to such a galaā€¦
Malleus: I may have brought down upon them a cloud of destruction, darkening the sky and cursing them to the ends of the earthā€¦

ā€” I'M GONNA LOVE YOU, RIGHT TILL' YOU HATE ME GENDER NEUTRAL READERĀ 
IMAGINE: Yandere!Twst cast, dreaming of the MC, before they ended up Twst, and even though they searched for them, they couldn't quite find them... now that they've found them.. they can't seem to let you go.. how would they feel when they've learned that there are more competitors for your love.
A/N: I'm gonna call this the dreaming of you au! I have some plans for it.. I had to split this in part, because of tumblr's fucking word limit.
SAVANACLAW / HEARTSLABYUL / DIASOMNIA / OCTAVINELLE / SCARABIA + IGNIHYDE / POMEFIORE
Tumblr media
He couldnā€™t recall when the dreams had first started, it was quite suffocating.. Looking back, he was tired of the same dream over and over again, yet it changed.. Slowly, he watched you growing up along with him, it was as if his dreams mirrored your own life.. And at one point, he believed that these vivid dreams held some meaning, there had to be a reason why heā€™d keep seeing the same person over and over againā€¦ At one point, he even started to believe that you were his.. Someone meant for him.. And as he grew older, he couldnā€™t help but search for you, wanting to validate his thoughts and imagination, which has gotten rather out of hand over the past few years.Ā 
He didnā€™t even consider that others would have taken interest in you as well, ā€˜did they see you in their dreams as well?ā€™.. The thought would have driven him wild, had he not been patient thus far, he might have truly lost himself then and there.. However, if he had waited this long, then it wouldnā€™t have been difficult to wait a bit longer.. After all.. He knew you a lot better than you know yourself.. He just needs you to realize.. That youā€™re his.. and he is yoursā€¦
YANDERE!MALLEUS, The first meeting he had with you, felt like another dream.. He couldnā€™t help but wish that it was a reality, but he quickly came upon the realization that you could see him, and that this was in fact, not an intricate dream.. Whether it was a blessing or a curse that you were here, he couldnā€™t help but let his enthusiasm slip through his composure and create cracks in his behaviorisms. He gazed at you in a soft endearing manor, that was sure to waver oneā€™s heart, he knows you much better than you had expected, you couldnā€™t help but find it odd, that he could just tell how you felt, and conclude what certain mannerisms had meant, how you would fiddle around when you were anxious or growing impatient.. You shouldā€™ve been concerned.. But Tsunotarou was your dearest friend.. And of course a dear friend would know of your feelings.. wouldnā€™t he..?
YANDERE!LILIA, Lilia didnā€™t have something so unexpected happen to him in quite the while, he had seen someone in his dreams, upon his move to NRC, maybe it was the change in climate getting to his head, or his age finally catching up to him.. Well if that was the case, he surely would have realized sooner. His dreams consisted of someone, a human.. And overtime, as year one passed and year two slowly approached, Lilia had started harboring and developing a sort of interest in this little human.. One who was not of this world, but much far away in fact.. He couldnā€™t help but grow more and more intrigued by that revelation.. He didnā€™t plan on doing much, despite being more than capable of doing so, he was captivated by you.. Yet he knew better than acting upon desire towards you.. Until of course he saw you here at NRC.. if you were so near.. Why should he stop himself.. He had no reason too.. and he didnā€™t intend to either.Ā 
YANDERE!SILVER, Silver had always been one to dream of a sweet and caring relationship, when it came to the aspect of love, even during childhood, not having much of a couple that he saw growing up, he didnā€™t quite have a label or definition on how someone should love, and he doubted getting his fathers advice would help, so when he had seen you in his dreams, he paid no mind.. He had given you a charming dream even, ā€œMrs. Fairyā€ it was rather odd calling you a miss, while you were most likely his age or younger at the time.. He never really interacted with you, finding it more or less peaceful watching you from afar, you were majestic.. and amazing.. He analyzed everything you did, with great fervor, he couldnā€™t tell as a child, but as he grew.. He knew that he had fallen for you.. The aspect of love in a foreign sense felt ever so foreign to him, yet he couldnā€™t help himself from falling for someone as charming as you.. So it was to no dismay that he had fallen for you.. Someone as charming as you deserved only the very best.. And when Silver first laid eyes on you in person, he felt as if he had fallen for you all over again, mumbling under his breath about how all the more amazing you were in person, he couldā€™ve sworn he saw an angel, but once he had come to realize, others were hindering in his perfect romance, he had decided to take on a different approach, after all.. This was his fairy tale to tell and create.Ā 
YANDERE!SEBEK, Sebek didnā€™t know how or why he was dreaming of you, to be quite honest it ticked him off more than causing him any sort of pleasure or comfort, yet over time.. He found himself falling for you.. It wasnā€™t explainable, in fact he couldnā€™t recall how he had fallen for such a lowlife such as yourself.. Sebek felt awful for loving you, yet he wanted to keep you his at the very same time.. But you were a fragment of his imagination no less, heā€™d feed himself these useless words of comfort, thinking theyā€™d hinder his thought process and undo the threads of love that so tirelessly binds him to you, he despised you and yet wanted you, this human.. From a dream no less! Too look at him.. Only him.. And yet.. you.. you.. never did. He had hoped and prayed that by entering school, heā€™d busy himself enough to forget about you and your ever so disturbing existence.. If you ever did truly exist.. Yet his hopes were in vain when he saw you.. With another.. well that wouldnā€™t do.. no this wasnā€™t what he wanted.. nor would he tolerate such disrespect from an insolent human such as yourself!Ā

why are you in my apartment? (II)
Warning: Yandere. Gender-neutral reader.
Characters: Jamil Viper, Kalim Al-Asim, Epel Felmier, Rook Hunt, Vil Schoenheit, Ortho Shroud, Idia Shroud, Silver, Sebek Zigvolt, Lilia Vanrouge, Malleus Draconia.
Summary: Everything was supposed to be better when you got your own apartment to call home. So when you got home one day, why was was there some weird guys in your home?
Note:Ā I know I tend to leave the relationships up to interpretation and not divulge into it too much, but know that Orthoā€™s part is NOT romantic. His part is purely platonic, more like heā€™s seeking another sibling relationship/dynamic. Whenever I wrote for Ortho, it will always be platonic, it will NEVER be romantic. [ Added ] FINALLY. Itā€™s finished. I feel like itā€™s way longer than the first part despite there being the same amount of characters and trying to keep the content amount the same. On google docs it says itā€™s about thirty-four pages. Please, I really hope you guys like this one because I worked hard on it and it took a while. Plus I kept getting stuck on parts.Ā 
Previous: why are you in my apartment? (I)
Tumblr media
You worked and saved to be able to live in a spacious apartment in the downtown area. The buildings had decent security, the apartment itself was in a low-crime area, and there were a bunch of stores nearby for the basic necessities, not to mention you worked from home half the time and the other time work was just a few blocks away. Everything was perfect...! Until it wasnā€™t. Your seemingly perfect life was thrown completely off balance when you returned home and found your door unlocked.
Like any reasonable person, you were worried. Were you just forgetful this morning or had someone broken in...? Not wanting to call authorities right away and make a fool of yourself if you had forgotten to lock your door today, you carefully proceeded inside, with your phone gripped in hand and your makeshift key weapon in the other hand. Steadily you crept inside, looking left and right, your heart rate accelerating as you noticed a few things out of place. A remote controller not on the coffee table, a blanket you forgot to fold now folded neatly-- Just then, you heard voices and footsteps, and when the strangers entered your line of vision, you screamed as they jumped in surprise and exclaimed,
ā€œW-Wait!ā€
Tumblr media
SCARABIA
Incense...? Why did your apartment smell like lit incense and expensive perfume? You didnā€™t leave any incense and you didnā€™t have whatever type of perfume made the place smell niceā€“ā€“ The room was cleaned. On the living room table was a golden tray filled with neatly packaged and wrapped snacks and even a small box of golden accessories. It almost looked like a greeting gift someone left... If someone really left this, that would explain the whining and scolding coming from further inside. When you heard the voices and footsteps grow louder, a white-haired young man wearing lots of accessories appeared from the kitchen.
Coming face to face with a stranger in your own home was certainly a shock.
It was more of the negative kind of shock when you saw this white-haired stranger smile brightly and their eyes widen as they ran towards you with their arms wide open as he exclaimed with such pure excitement, ā€œAhā€“ā€“ Itā€™s you! Youā€™re finally here!! Iā€™m so excited to meet you! Iā€™ve wanted to see you foreverā€“ā€“ā€
Of course, any logical person would not be as happy at this guy was. Stepping back, you held up the sharp end of your keys and reached back for the doorā€“ā€“
Thunk!
A hand firmly kept the door shut, and before you could even think of swinging or screaming, there was another firm but gentle hand on your arm to prevent you from using those keys to slash at anyone. This second man mustā€™ve appeared when you were distracted.
He had long dark hair and wore a hoodie. Whoever he was, he seemed to sense you distress, because he sent his companion a look. ā€œWaitā€“ā€“ sorry about him scaring you. Can you lower those keys, please? Iā€™ll explain everything.ā€
One game. You downloaded one game, Twisted Wonderland, on a whim, and now this duo of students claimed to be from the Scarabia dorm from that very mobile game. It was incredibly difficult to believe, almost impossible, if it werenā€™t for their striking resemblance to the characters and the magic they were able to conjure with their pen. What was more of a shock? They claimed to know you as the player. Of course before they knew nothing of your looks or true personality, but now here you were in your divine grace, the real deal right before them! You can be sure that they will take advantage of your kindness as you allowed them to stay until they could find a way to return home. But really, why want to go back when you were here?Ā 
Oh, but you want to know how itā€™s like living with the Scarabia gang, hm?
Jamil ViperĀ 
If he can handle not just the dorm but also duties at home including his normal responsibilities with Kalim, he can take care of you and your apartment.Ā 
Whatā€™s he usually doing in the apartment? Well, to be fair, he is the one mainly keeping the place together. But when he isnā€™t busy, heā€™s taken a great interest in the dances and locations of this new world. Really he seems to enjoy learning about this world firsthand by exploring.Ā 
Itā€™s not rare for him to join you. In fact, you welcome it. Jamil is great company, and heā€™s always there to save you and Kalim from your own mistakes. Anywhere you go, Jamil is there to accompany you to help, he insists, but it might just be because he actually enjoys your company more than heā€™d like to admit.Ā 
Funnily enough, heā€™s been offered various jobs by restaurants but refuses them all. Apparently they had a taste of his cooking and now want him to be a cook for their business. Although it is kind of funny to see Jamil repeatedly turn them down but accept their free dishes only for him to give them to you and Kalim. When asked why he wonā€™t accept one job, he says itā€™s because heā€™s already busy enough as it is. But Kalim guesses its that Jamil doesnā€™t want to give up any free time he could spend with you.Ā 
Thatā€™s right, Jamil does so much. He can do practically everything from cooking, to cleaning, the laundry, the dishes, buying groceriesā€“ā€“ but thereā€™s one thing he canā€™t do. Whatever you do, do not ask him to get rid of a bug. Heā€™s probably more scared of it than you are. A bug got into the kitchen once and a mess was made by him trying to get away from it. Then all hell broke loose when the insect started flying.Ā 
Oh, but donā€™t believe heā€™s all ā€œgood guyā€ playing the role of househusband. Huh, thatā€™s so weird... the apartment owner just informed you that your rent was lowering. Just yesterday when you went shopping with Jamil, the store clerk gave you a huge discount. And last week, that annoying boss of yours suddenly gave you a promotion. But they all had this empty look in their eyes and spoke in monotoned voices... When you confronted Jamil about this, he calmly claimed to know nothing about those instances.Ā 
Of course he missed you, but he isnā€™t as openly desperate as others may be. Did he miss you, you ask? Heā€™ll smile and reply cooly maybe. Yeah, he totally missed you. Why do you think the house is spotless now? He was trying to take his mind off you through chores again.Ā 
Yes, your vessel, Yuu, was a pawn he could use in the beginning. Well, he was right about one thing, about you being a diamond in the rough. There was really no one else like you in Twisted Wonderland.Ā 
Seeing you before him, the true you, was nothing less than a shock. You, whoā€™s vessel he used and tormented and eventually came to treasure, were here. For now matter how much his heart was picking up speed and now many thoughts raced through his head, he had to keep calm for you.Ā 
When he heard rapid footsteps and Kalimā€™s eager exclamation, he warned himself to prepare for what lay ahead. Ignoring the calm feeling this strange space brought him, he immediately appeared in the scene of the commotion. Deep down, he held hope, he had a feeling, an idea of where he may be. All his worries seemingly vanished when you came into his line of vision, and he relaxed. It was you... and you werenā€™t a threat. A tiny bit anxious, really excited, even confused, there was so much going on but he forced himself to remain level-headed and he quickly approached you and held you back from attacking. It was you, really you, so real he could touch you! Hold onā€“ā€“ he had to keep calm and hold up appearances. This way he could be a trustworthy figure in your eyes.Ā 
ā€œDid you need something? You know Iā€™m at your service... Hm? You want me to take a break? Thereā€™s no need. Besides, Iā€™m used to doing this much, but I appreciate the sentiment. Now then, I couldnā€™t help but overhear you complain about a rude neighbor to Kalim. I can divine a solution to this... thorny problem if you just tell me their name.ā€
Kalim Al-AsimĀ 
Woah, what a small place you got! Is this really comfortable? Even his room back home was bigger than the whole apartment! Donā€™t worry, heā€™ll make this place fun and comfy!Ā 
Whatā€™s he up to at the apartment? Well, besides sticking to you 90% of the time, heā€™ll do anything you ask or copy you. Cleaning? Heā€™ll help! Watching TV? Ohh, can he sit next to you? Going out for the day? Cool! Heā€™ll get Jamil and all three of you can go out together!Ā 
Like we just established, Kalim will follow you anywhere! Doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s just stepping out to the vending machine or going several blocks away, heā€™ll gladly keep you company. Plus, here in your world, heā€™s not known as the heir of a fabulously wealthy merchant family, meaning no oneā€™s trying to harm him and Jamil has more free time too!Ā 
While he may not be the best at chores like Jamil, he does really try his best...! Well, he has his other uses. Heā€™s not just the heir to the Asim family name for any old reason. Believe it or not, Kalim is surprisingly good with money. That means he pays the bills, for gifts, for supplies, etc. And not even out of your pocket! He had on so much gold when he got here, he happily sold a piece or two to pay you back for your hospitality and now you donā€™t have to pay a thing for months! How much was that stuff he sold even worth...? Wait a moment, when did you get these expensive portraits on the wall and these brand clothes?Ā 
You know how I said heā€™s beside you almost 24/7? Yeah, when youā€™re not working from home, those are the worst days for him. Jamil has to always keep an eye on him because if not, Kalim will march over to your office for a ā€œsurprise visit!ā€ But when you get home after your shift, youā€™ll be greeted by the warmest smile from him as he practically jumps on you for a hug.Ā 
Local ā€œgood boy,ā€ too. The neighbors adore him because heā€™s just so sweet and kind. Even the kids seem to love playing with him, so heā€™ll be on the playground with them as you and Jamil sit on the benches. Itā€™s because of Kalim that you met nearly every person living in the apartment complex, and somehow you got their favor because of the sunshine guy thatā€™s your roommate. Also heā€™s the ā€œbug handler,ā€ meaning he cheerfully picks up any bugs that snuck in and bids them goodbye at the window or door.Ā 
Kalim misses you way too much when youā€™re not home. Itā€™s why Jamil is in charge of holding the phone, because if it were up to Kalim, heā€™d have you on call nearly your entire shift. But just know that even though he doesnā€™t like you having to go to work, he knows itā€™s important and heā€™s really proud youā€™re working so hard!Ā 
Are you kidding? Your vessel, Yuu, is one of his best friends! Heā€™s taken good care of them! Have you noticed? He loves your vessel, but he loves you way more!Ā 
All logic went out the window as soon as he saw you. Immediately he became overwhelmed by emotion, he felt so much joy and utter excitement come bursting forth! All he could do was express his pure delight!Ā 
Truthfully, Kalim hadnā€™t expected to see you! He was oblivious to where he was, unsure what would happen. But when he saw youā€“ā€“ all uncertainty and confusion disappeared. Immediately he threw his arms open wide as a large beaming smile broke onto his face, his eyes were practically glimmering with such excitement as he eagerly exclaimed any words that came to mind. It was you, it was you, it was you! He was just so so happy, happy didnā€™t even being to describe it. Words couldnā€™t explain the pure amount of glee he was feeling, it was practically oozing out of him in waves as his heart beat rapidly. His heart beat just for you, beating against his ribcage as if it wanted to reach you too, just like how he wished to embrace you!Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re home!!! Ahah, I missed you so much!! How was work? Are you tired? Are you hungry? You must be hungry! Letā€™s eat now! I helped Jamil make dinner today, and your favorite tea! Hold on, I got your coat and bag! Jamil, theyā€™re home!! Tell us everything! Iā€™m so happy youā€™re back, I could just kiss you!ā€
As a whole...
Scarabia always makes sure to spoil you rotten, and theyā€™re only two people so itā€™s not overwhelming. On one hand, you have one more level-headed roommate who would do anything in the world for you, one the other hand you have an easily excitable roommate who will give you anything in the world! Expect gifts and feasts galore from them, even welcome home parties after a simple day at work. The day could be calm and peaceful or it can be fun and activity-filled, just tell them what you want. Whatever you want, whatever you may need, theyā€™ll happily give it to you. For your hospitality theyā€™ll pay you back tenfold with material items, their time, and their affection. You trust them, donā€™t you?
Tumblr media
POMEFIOREĀ 
Perfume...? Why did your entire apartment smell of expensive perfume and scented candles? Was that the smell of lavender and apples...? You didnā€™t even own any candles scented like that. All your coats were hung neatly, the shoes you left by the door were organized, it looked like someone had just cleaned your apartment. On the living room table was a basket of shiny red apples, as if someone left it behind for you. All of this would explain the talk coming from another room. There were light footsteps, you couldnā€™t tell if they were getting closer or walking somewhere else, until a figure appeared from the hallwayā€“ā€“ A short and pretty young man with lavender hair and big blue eyes stopped in his tracks.Ā 
Upon seeing each other, you both froze seemingly in shock. You were horrified that some stranger got in your home, he seemed thunderstruck for some other reason you didnā€™t know.Ā 
Shaking off the shock, the young man lifted his hand towards you, his blue eyes wide with disbelief as he muttered, ā€œIt... I... You... Hahā€“ā€“ They werenā€™t kiddinā€™... Youā€™re actually real? This isnā€™t some cruel little dream or curse? Youā€“ā€“ā€
Leaning back to avoid his touch, you held up the sharp end of your keys as you eyed him warily, ā€œB-Back off pretty boy, Iā€™m armed...! Iā€“ā€“ Oof...!ā€
That... That wasnā€™t the door behind you. Your wrist wielding the keys was gripped firmly but gently, and you shrieked in fright when you looked up to see a blonde man behind you. When did he get there...?!
His green eyes peered down at you but his smile on his expression broke into surprise at your reaction as he used his other hand to make a shushing motion.Ā ā€œShhh, shush, dear one, thereā€™s no need to fear! Please wait, calm yourself. Forgive us for the intrusion!... Ahhh, itā€™s truly an immense honor, itā€™sĀ a blessing from the heavens above, to be in your presence! Forgive me...! Iā€™ve wanted to observe your grace ever since the moment I began to worship you...!ā€Ā 
Worship? Wait... was this guy tearing up?Ā ā€œAre you... crying?ā€
ā€œNone of this will do! The whole wardrobe will need to be replaced, furniture will need to be bought, and groceries will be purchased for the refrigerator and pantry. How could anyone live like this? They deserve better! Especially forā€“ā€“ā€ Another tall beautiful blonde man in heels came from the hallway, but his rambling stopped and his amethyst eyes widened once they landed on you, his breath hitching.Ā ā€œ...You...ā€ He appeared at a loss for words and he slowly stepped closer, afraid of scaring you off. Carefully his touch grazed over your cheek, apprehensive, as if the slightest contact would shatter you and youā€™d be gone. Snapping out of his self-induced trance, he retracted his hand quickly and added,Ā ā€œI apologize sincerely, my dear, you must be terribly confused. Please, allow me to explain.ā€Ā 
One game. You downloaded one game, Twisted Wonderland, on a whim, and now this trio of students claimed to be from the Pomefiore dorm from that very mobile game. It was incredibly difficult to believe, almost impossible, if it werenā€™t for their striking resemblance to the characters and the magic they were able to conjure with their pen. What was more of a shock? They claimed to know you as the player. Of course before they knew nothing of your looks or true personality, but now here you were in your divine grace, the real deal right before them! You can be sure that they will take advantage of your kindness as you allowed them to stay until they could find a way to return home. But really, why want to go back when you were here?
Oh, but you want to know how itā€™s like living with the Pomefiore gang, hm?
Epel FelmierĀ 
Just to even be allowed to stay with you has made him incredibly happy, so heā€™ll do everything in his power to help out! You can rely on him!Ā 
Whatā€™s he up to in the apartment? Actually, heā€™s usually out. After completing chores, heā€™ll go out. He doesnā€™t like staying cooped up inside all the time, so itā€™s normal to find him trying to work out in the nearby park or with the garden he made on the roof of the apartment complex. Also, heā€™s interested by this worldā€™s sports, especially American football. Look at all those strong guys playing a tough sport!!Ā 
Epel is a bit of the jealous type, so he greatly treasures any time alone you spend with him and he tries to keep it to just you and him. His favorite activities with you are working on his garden, making goods from the products he grew by hand and proudly presented to you, and taking you when Vil and Rook are distracted to ride around town on this motorcycle! Yeah, donā€™t ask him where he got a whole motorcycle from.
He knows he doesnā€™t have much to offer to pay you back, so he does what he can. Making deliveries on his motorcycle, selling his gardenā€™s products, maybe even winning bets by secretly racing, plus he begrudgingly joins in on Rook and Vilā€™s... work, whenever he can get paid from it or when Vil pressures him to do it. But, at the end of his day, all hisĀ handworkā€™s earnings go to you. Just take it, heā€™s not going to let you refuse!Ā 
Really, he just wants to appear responsible and reliable in your eyes, thatā€™s why he willingly does a lot of chores too. No task is too big or too small! Leave him a grocery list and heā€™s off to go buy and carry everything back himself! You mentioned how you wanted to clean the rooms, so he took it upon himself to deep clean the apartment! What else do you want him to do?Ā 
Donā€™t let his adorable looks fool you. Heā€™s a bit protective of you. Well, the other two are as well, but Epel is more openly hostile about it. He knows when to keep up appearances though. If he can guilt trip harassers or creeps with his looks alone so they stop bothering you, great. However, if that doesnā€™t do the trick, well... Letā€™s just say that he nearly caused a scene by sucker-punching a rando who cat-called you on the streets once. You two managed to get away but Epel was absolutelyĀ fuming. He wasnā€™t scolded by you or Vil because he defended you, but he was still mad he couldnā€™tĀ ā€œgiveĀ ā€˜em hell.ā€Ā 
Oh, he misses you fairly often. Like mentioned before, he gets jealous. Donā€™t your coworkers realize how lucky they are, getting to work with you all day? Youā€™ll hear him mumble complaints like that often, but he wonā€™t say anything out loud unless you prompt him to do so. Ease him into a good mood again by simply holding his hand, he enjoys holding onto you like this whenever you let him.
Do you know how annoying it was to be your vessel,Ā Yuuā€™s, friend after you already befriended members from four other dorms? It was so frustrating trying to keep your attention when theyā€™re all vying for it!Ā 
Of course the first thing he felt about seeing the true you was pure disbelief. This couldnā€™t be real, could it...? Was this some sorta dream? If it was, he never wanted to wake up again. If this was a dream where he could stay with you, heā€™d be content with staying in an eternal slumber.Ā 
When he walked out of the hallway and saw you standing there, he was starstruck. Pinch him, because this dream was too good to be true! Immediately once he came within a few feet of you, he felt that heavenly grace only the player wielded, he knew it was truly you. It wasnā€™t the puppet you played with and controlled back in his world. You were so... so... amazing? No, that wasnā€™t it, words couldnā€™t even describe it. You looked normal, your home was normal, you seemed average at best, but at the same time.... you were wow. Itā€™s as if your entire being had him spellbound. At first, for a brief moment, he felt stiff before getting worked up, eager but anxious at the same time. When he tried to open his mouth and speak, he could only fumble over his words. Cā€™mon, just talk, damn it! If this was a dream, he never wanted it to end.Ā 
ā€œHey! Over here! Heh, surprised to see me? I got out when Vil was busy on the phone. I figured that maybe youā€™d be tired after workinā€™ all day so what better then to drive you home on my motorcycle? Hop on. What do you say we make some detours and stops along the way? We can stop at some scenic spots if you want?ā€Ā 
Rook HuntĀ 
Ah, what a lovely nest you have! So this was your temple, the very grounds where you lived. As your loyal follower, he will care and defend this sacred place.Ā 
Whatā€™s he up to at the apartment? Well... itā€™s hard to tell sometimes. Although he is extremely fascinated with your world, he wishes to learn andĀ ā€œsee all the beauty in the world that is home to the divine player,ā€Ā whatever that means. Exploring and being generally curious seems to be a big hobby of his.Ā 
The guy is a real enigma. Wherever you are, Rook is sure to follow and even when you donā€™t see him, most of the time you get the feeling youā€™re being watched... He offers his assistance at every turn, he accompanies you everywhere and anywhere. Sometimes itā€™s a little creepy how heā€™s always there, but his smile is nothing but kind and his words of praise are loving. Not to mention heā€™s a very good listener, heā€™ll listen to any rant or simple chat, as he admires you with a lovestruck smile.Ā 
From what youā€™ve gathered, Rook is from a fairly wealthy family. So immediately he offers his assistance. How does he do it? Where does he even get the money from? How? It literally makes no sense, itā€™s a real mystery. For all you know, he couldā€™ve sold some priceless antique or something he had on him, which seemed extremely unlikely but how else did he get that kind of money? When you ask about it, he merely smiles at you and places the money for rent and bills in your palm as he assures you to not worry a single hair on your pretty head.Ā Heā€™s fairly affectionate too, embraces are welcome and if youā€™ll allow it, he enjoys giving you forehead kisses as well.
Rook also does his fair share of chores, but his main responsibility heā€™s placed upon himself appears to be your security. Your safety and comfort are of the utmost importance! He, like the rest of the trio, is protective of you, but he isnā€™t as hostile about it as Epel may be. Usually a warning and his presence with a mere ominous smile is enough to ward off any unwanted guests.Ā 
Speaking of unwanted guests, not only is he your personal security but he also manages to find the time to be the apartment security. No one is going in or out of the apartment complex without him knowing, he even keeps watch of the outside apartment grounds. Ever since Rook arrived, thereā€™s been a lot less break-ins and reported stealing. However, you have caught him cleaning his arrows way more recently, that leave the cleaning cloth a little red... Yeah, you know that he knows that youā€™ve noticed, but youā€™re too nervous to ask about it.Ā 
Yes, he missed you dearly! Itā€™s not very common because heā€™s always lingering whether you know it or not, but he clearly expresses joy whenever he can see you again. If you ask, heā€™ll deliver heartfelt words as he describes the pain of being apart from you for even a second!Ā 
Ah, sweet precious Yuu, your treasured vessel. Believe him when he says that ever since he first laid his sights on your vessel, he sensed you, and was captivated by your presence flowing through Yuu!Ā 
Oh, to meet the true you, was nothing short of a miracle! A miracle he may be undeserving of, but was something he desired deep in his heart. There was so much he wished to know, so much he wanted to say, so much he wanted to doā€“ā€“ all for you!Ā 
His sharp hearing picked up on the sound of the front door with unfamiliar footsteps quickly. Immediately his heart rate began to pick up speed as if he were feeling the adrenaline of a hunt, but now he felt as vulnerable as the quarry, not the hunter. It was this feeling, your grace, that made him feel so... exposed. As if laying all his secrets bare. When he saw youā€“ā€“ he could easily sneak up on you seeing as you were distracted with his underclassman. When you accidentally bumped against him and he had to hold your wrist, he felt such a feeling of euphoria course through his nervous system. He couldnā€™t help but smileā€“ā€“ until you screamed. Swiftly he attempted to calm you, he couldnā€™t bear to be the source of your distress! Itā€™s true, he shed tears because he was just so happy to meet you...!Ā All he wanted to do was bring you joy and worship you.Ā 
ā€œYou summoned me, mon dieu? Say the word, and I shall make your wish a reality... Heh, but of course I heard you! This loyal huntsman is forever at your beck and call! I implore you to tell me what you desire so that I may carry out your every command!ā€“ā€“ Hm? You merely called upon me to see if I were present...? I see! Then if I may, may I be so bold as to offer you my company?ā€Ā 
Vil SchoenheitĀ 
Dearest, thereā€™s no more need for fretting. He, Vil, the fairest one of all, will now handle everything from here on out. So just accept his affections and offer to help.Ā 
What could he possibly be up to? Lots of things actually. He spends time both inside and outside. Of course heā€™s no pig, he does his own share or chores and helps keep the apartment clean, but he also spends a lot of time out.Ā 
Watching movies, going out for lunch or dinner, simply taking a walk, or even going on a shopping trip. These are all things Vil enjoys to do with you and the others. You choose the movie; you buy whatever you wish to eat (heā€™s keeping an eye on your diet); and whatever outfits you choose to buy heā€™ll pay for, and more!Ā 
Wait a moment, how the hell does he have over millions of followers on Instagram already? Itā€™s only been a week! Whatā€“ā€“ what does he mean heā€™s inviting you to come along to a photoshoot and audition for a huge movie role he has? Yeah, somehow Vil becomes popular almost instantly, maybe itā€™s because of his looks?Ā Heā€™s practically doing everything he used to do in his world, now here. Movies, modeling, advertisements, heā€™s got it. Whatā€™s more? Heā€™s getting paid handsomely to do it all, and where does most of that money go? To you of course!Ā 
With the money he earns, he uses it to spoil you like crazy. Since Rook and Epel already covered the rent and bills, he pays for the luxuries. Luxury furniture; brand clothes; expensive jewelry; is that a painted portrait of you with Vil, Rook, and Epel, hanging on the wall inside a golden frame...? Your whole apartment is getting refurbished. Heā€™d love to rent you an entire condo but if you insist, then he has no choice but to stay here in this one with you.Ā 
Because of his elevating status, not only can you live in luxury but you also get to rub elbows with celebrities. However, that and when his fans target you, tend to be when his protectiveness shine through. Itā€™s why he has Rook always watching you. Vil will constantly keep an arm around your waist when encountering fans or stars. Oh, and he isnā€™t afraid of snapping back venomously. You witnessed how on one occasion, his new manager subtly insulted you and in response, Vil both insulted him and fired him on the spot. From what youā€™ve heard, that guy has had miserable luck in the industry ever since then.Ā ā€œAny slight against you, is a slight against me,ā€ Vil claims.Ā 
Of course he misses you! If he wasnā€™t so busy while you were at work and he were left alone with his thoughts, he may have not been able to handle it. He has suggested you quit your job and allow him to take care of you, or if you wanted to work so badly you could just work with him somehow. It was a nice suggestion but you had to politely turn him down. Itā€™s fairly common for him to kiss your cheek when he gets to see you after a long day, which leaves a lipstick stain on your skin.
To be frank, he did not care much, if at all, for your vessel, Yuu, at least in the beginning. However, that changed as time passed and he grew close to Yuu then learned the truth. Eventually he deemed himself responsible for helping your vessel and maintaining their health.Ā 
To see you stand there before him in all your perfect glory... it left him stunned, you literally took his breath away. Here you were, your true self, your perfect self, before his very own eyes. All his work and effort into perfecting himself, caring for your vessel, and improving his underclassmen in Pomefiore into their best selvesā€“ā€“ everything he did was for you.Ā 
Now he understood how his fans felt when they were so starstruck that they couldnā€™t breath, couldnā€™t move, couldnā€™t even speak until their mind registered what was happening. When he ended up here and realized where he was, he got straight to work which meant feverishly cleaning and making immediate plans to improve your living environment. However when he saw you and realized it was truly you, his legs started moving on their own, drawn to your presence. Everything he was focusing on before seemingly vanished, as all he could think about now was you. When his fingers grazed over your flesh, he shivered, relieved that you werenā€™t cold and artificial like your vesselā€“ā€“ you were warm, and you were real. He was in such a state of bliss because you were hereā€“ā€“ until he realized how confused you must be. Scolding himself, he prioritized your perfect self above all, so he would first calm you before proceeding to care for you and love you.Ā 
ā€œI had the manager set a seat for you right beside the director and the snack bar is stocked with your favorites. All I ask is you donā€™t indulge too much in the snacks, I scheduled a dinner for us to meet Rook and Epel after I film this scene... Whatā€™s the matter? Donā€™t you want to watch me work?... What? One of the cast members degraded you?... Alas for her. Who dare insult you? Reveal her name!ā€Ā 
As a whole...
Pomefiore is another dorm that spoils you, proven by your new life of luxury with the company of these three who lovingly adore you and are fiercely protective of you. You have a pretty lavender-haired sometimes brash roommate whoā€™s sweet to you, an eccentric blonde hunter whoā€™s obsessed with you, and a beautiful blonde model who adores you wholly and wants to care for you for eternity. What more could anyone ask for? The trio is one of the more affectionate and direct with their feelings, so there wonā€™t be a moment when you will feel unloved. Whether thatā€™s a good or bad thing with them... who knows? Youā€™ll continue to let them pay you back for your hospitality by caring for you, wonā€™t you?Ā

IGNIHYDEĀ 
Fireā€¦? Oh god, you didnā€™t leave the stove on, did you? Or was someone here messing with the microwave or oven? There might even be a fire starting in another apartment in this complex! In your rush to see where the source of the smell was coming on, you failed to notice the new tablet and remotes sprawled out over the living room table. Someone had been here and left these devices. Hurriedly you rushed inside the kitchen, but there was no sign of anything having been left on. Checking the apartment group chat that gave notices and news for the complex, there was no news of a fire and the smoke detector hadnā€™t turned on. Waitā€¦ there were noises coming from a room connected to the hallway and that seemed to be where the smell came from too. Just as you were about to exit the kitchen, someone entered the same space. It wasā€¦ the figure of a young robot boy with a mop of flaming blue hairā€¦?Ā 
ā€œAha! My scanner was correct! I did detect a familiar life force entering the complex grounds! Iā€™m so happy to see you! Ah, waitā€“ā€“ā€
He stopped once you backed away, you eyed him warily as you held up the sharp end of your keys to warn him. Although you werenā€™t sure how much damage the keys would do against his metal body if it came down to having to defend yourself. Plus, youā€™re sure his blue fair hair, however that worked, would burn badly. Before you could ask or demand anything, he continued just as cheerfully,Ā 
ā€œYour heart rate is accelerating at a concerning rate, and so is your breathing patternā€“ā€“ These are clear signs of fear. Donā€™t worry! Ah, this is so exciting! I thought Iā€™d never see you like this!ā€ Like a child who just canā€™t sit still, he practically danced, floating around you, seemingly not caring for the keys in your hand and he didnā€™t appear to be a threat. Instead he took your hand in his metallic palm, tugging you along towards your room as he insisted, ā€œCome on, you have to see him! Letā€™s surprise him!ā€
See who? Surprise who? Your unspoken questions were answered when you were pushed into your home-office where you stored files and your laptop from when you were working at the apartment. There, you could smell the source of the fire, a long messy mane of blue fire that acted as lengthy locks of hair.Ā 
Right now he had yet to notice you. He was far too invested in what appeared to beā€¦ building? There were parts and tools all around him as it appeared he had connected your laptop to various PCs and monitors. ā€œWhat a cheap set-up they hadā€¦ How can anyone do anything on one monitor? Tsk. This should make it more efficient. Their wi-fi speed is trash, so I gotta fix that too. Hahā€¦ Ortho, did you find whatever made that noiseā€“ā€“? Uhā€¦ā€ As soon as his eyes landed on you, he froze like a deer in the headlights. His glowing yellow-eyes were wide as he gaped, dropping the piece for the computers in his hands. There was Ortho with the brightest eyes, radiating pure joy, and right next to him wasā€¦ wasā€¦ ā€œY-Youā€“ā€“ T-This isnā€™t what it looks likeā€¦!ā€Ā 
One game. You downloaded one game, Twisted Wonderland, on a whim, and now this duo of students claimed to be from the Ignihyde dorm from that very mobile game. It was incredibly difficult to believe, almost impossible, if it werenā€™t for their striking resemblance to the characters and the magic they were able to conjure with their pen. What was more of a shock? They claimed to know you as the player. Of course before they knew nothing of your looks or true personality, but now here you were in your divine grace, the real deal right before them! You can be sure that they will take advantage of your kindness as you allowed them to stay until they could find a way to return home. But really, why want to go back when you were here?Ā 
Oh, but you want to know how itā€™s like living with the Ignihyde gang, hm?Ā 
Ortho ShroudĀ 
Do not worry! He already helps care for his big brother, he can care for you too! Heā€™ll take good care of your home!Ā 
Whatā€™s he usually doing at the apartment? Actually, heā€™s the one that goes out more often, besides helping keep the place together. In this new world, he finds everything interesting. Please teach him about your world, he wants to know as much as he can!Ā 
Whenever you go out, Ortho is always the one to join you (he goes unnoticed thanks to the custom-made upgrade and hat his brother made him). When you go out for groceries. According to his scanners, these are the ripest and juiciest of fruits! When you go out for clothes. Here is a hologram and program he and his brother created to let you see how outfits would look on you without trying them on! When you want something specific. Heā€™s searched the stock of every store within a 25 mile radius for the item you were looking for, and heā€™s located five stores with the item! Shall he call and have them reserve it as he leads the way for you?Ā 
Heā€™s a very kind and optimistic kid, so heā€™s won over a lot of the neighbors, meaning he gets a lot of little gifts he likes to give you. The elderly folks say heā€™s just the cutest kid, the adults think heā€™s such a well-behaved boy, and the other children seem to think heā€™s cool. If only they knew how down right mischievous, almost to a concerning level, he could be. Heā€™s going to vacuum the apartmentā€“ā€“ with a wind power blaster on max! Haha, just kidding~! If he did that then he might destroy this whole floor of the apartment complex!Ā 
Although he is very responsible. Keeping the apartment clean, vacuuming, doing the laundry, washing the dishes, dusting, organizing everything, handling any mail whether it be digital or written, he even orders takeout and itā€™s actually good healthy food (half of the time)! He does it all despite you telling him he doesnā€™t have to, but he wants to! He would do a lot of this stuff for his older brother, so itā€™s no hassle. Although he would be really happy if you played games with him after!Ā 
The only time he isnā€™t doing something for you or his brother, is when thereā€™s a forecast of heavy storms with lightning. There was a huge crack of thunder followed by his scream down the hall. Heā€™s deathly afraid of the thunder, hiding himself away in your room if youā€™re away. However, if youā€™re there, heā€™s clinging to you like a lifeline and wonā€™t let go until the storm has passed. You and Idia are the only ones he feels safe with during a storm, so comfort him.Ā 
Yeah, uh, Ortho isnā€™t entirely innocent though, he can actually be rather destructive. Itā€™s rare, but he too has his moments. Take for example, when you were scared of the huge spider that ended up in the closet. No, wait, Ortho, donā€™t use that giant blasterā€“ā€“! Or how when your landlord mentioned he was raising the cost of rent and you complained, he later came back to retract that statement all while nervously avoiding innocent little Ortho. Ortho also acts as security, he has motion sensors that detect movement all around the complex grounds. Itā€™s so effective that he was able to confront a would-be thief by the park and stop them from doing anything bad! Hooray! Wait a moment, you wonderā€¦ What happened to that pretty tree in the park? Why is there only a burnt stump leftā€¦?Ā 
Yes, he missed you so much! Everyday while you work, youā€™re getting texts and the occasional call from Ortho. Please donā€™t be mad, he just really misses you! When your shift is done, heā€™s always there waiting at the lobby, swinging his little feet as he sits and waits. He visibly brightens up when he sees you, eagerly running over to hold your hand and take you home so his brother can see you too!Ā 
In the beginning, he just wanted a friendship with you (through your vessel), him, and of course his brother. He just wanted to be your friend, be in your company, just like how everyone else smiled with you and spent time with you. Canā€™t he be your friend tooā€¦?Ā 
He detected your presence far before you detected him. So when his suspicions were confirmed, he was over the moon! It was you, his friend! This was his dream come true: the real and authentic you, him, and his brother, all together in one place and living together like a big happy family! Just like in his favorite movies!Ā 
As soon as he detected your presence, he had to wait and contain his excitement. He wanted this to be a surprise! When Idia asked him to go check the source of the commotion, he nyoomed right over to where he detected your presence on his scanners. He was so so happy to see youā€“ā€“ he didnā€™t care about the keys you were holding and he was certain his own flames were increasing. Oh, if he had a heart, he was sure its heart rate would surpass yours! It wasnā€™t that Ortho was oblivious, itā€™s just that he was so overjoyed that he didnā€™t mind your initial fear. Youā€™d get over it quickly, he knows it. How could you continue to see him as a threat? Youā€™ll recognize him soon, just as he recognizes you, then youā€™ll be happy too! Afterall, didnā€™t humans say joy was supposed to be infectious?Ā 
ā€œHappiness gauge has reached 100%... Yay, youā€™re here! Hi! How are you feeling right now? How was work today? Do you want me to place a take-out order or place a reservation at your favorite restaurant? Iā€™m sure if you ask my brother to join us out to eat, then heā€™ll say yes! Hm?... Howā€™d I know what time you got off of work? Hehe, I know your whole schedule for your convenience!ā€Ā 
Idia Shroud
Ah, this was so nerve-wracking being away from his own room. Wellā€¦ itā€™s not that bad since youā€™re here. Just leave him in your home where he can be comfortable.
Whatā€™s he doing at the apartment? Youā€™re not completely sure but he does stay inside practically all the time. Heā€™s almost always on some type of device, and will not-so-subtly try to linger around you if you let him.Ā 
Itā€™s rare to see Idia go out, especially by himself. However, if you ask him and you seem very eager to go outā€¦ well, heā€™ll impulsively say yes but heā€™s anxious the entire time. Heā€™ll wear caps to hide his flaming hair and jackets or coats to cover himself. If you take him to someplace like an arcade or merch shop, heā€™s lightening up and actually enjoying the trip outside.Ā 
Your work from home office? Yeah, thatā€™s basically his office now too. Donā€™t worry, heā€™s set up a partition of shelves filled with a mix of your office supplies and the merchandise he buys. His side is all dark and lit by the screen light from devices, the room filled with scattered comics, video game cases, and appliances used by Ortho. Apparently he codes things, programs stuff, creates and sells, because every week thereā€™s a transaction notification from your bank account. Itā€™s Idia wiring you more than enough money for rent and bills.Ā 
Itā€™s fairly normal to see Idia shuffling around the apartment, sometimes forgoing the comfort of his bed or office to be in the same room as you. He doesnā€™t do much of choresā€“ā€“ he is a bit messy but at least he keeps it to his area. If you ask him to clean though, heā€™ll tidy up. Butā€¦ donā€™t ask him to cook. He canā€™t manage that. If you do ask him, youā€™re getting served those really expensive fancy instant ramen. Itā€™s the thought that countsā€¦?Ā 
Youā€™ve never actually seen Idia get angry. But you have heard a loud and audibly frustrated Hah? from his room/office once when you texted him about some negative experiences. According to Ortho, Idia has turned red at times after hearing about your negative experiences. And he means literally, like his calm blue hair had flared into an angry red. Whoever caused those negative experiences whether it be harassment, bullying, or anything else, you wonā€™t be hearing from them ever again.Ā 
Even if it doesnā€™t seem like he does much, he does a lot. Creating personal service and wifi so you donā€™t have to pay companies, upgrading all your devices, connecting appliances to your phone like the lights and locks of the apartment and such. He wants to spend time with you, but heā€™s far too nervous to ask youā€¦ Which is why Ortho is always bringing you together. Sometimes if Idia has enough courage, heā€™ll call you instead of text you or purposefully leave something in your space so you can go to him later. Heā€™ll help you out though. Heā€™ll slow down or shut down the computers of your co-workers so it looks like youā€™re doing more work and you get a promotion. H-Huhā€¦? Nā€¦ Noā€¦ He didnā€™t hack into your laptopā€™s camera or the surveillance tapes from your workplace just to watch youā€¦Ā 
Yeah, he missed you, but why would someone as great as you miss someone as miserable as himselfā€¦? Why do you think heā€™s always watching you through screens when youā€™re not around? If you mention missing you to him, he suddenly looks very nervous. Great, heā€™s been found out. Now you must think heā€™s some creepā€¦ as if his constant texts throughout the day donā€™t give away the fact that he longs for your company whether it be with your actual presence or conversation online.Ā 
Ah, right, your vesselā€¦ Honestly, he didnā€™t like Yuu at all at first, but that changed later. They werenā€™tā€¦ that bad. Your vessel was really something special, in some ways it bested his own work on Ortho. Your vessel could be warm or cold, it had a heartbeat, it functioned like a normal human. Perhaps that growing fascination with your vessel was what drew him closer.Ā 
When his gaze landed in you, the flames of his hair grew in heat and size, simmering dangerously high as he attempted to keep his coolā€“ā€“ but he couldnā€™t! You were staring, probably judging, forming negative thoughts already. Any step closer and his hair might flare up, hot enough to activate the sprinkler systems of the apartment.Ā 
When Idia connected the dots, realizing where he was, he very nearly went into shock. How was this possible? Why was this happening to him and Ortho? No, wait, itā€™s not like he was upset. This was like a one in trillionth chance. Something lucky finally happened to him! But at the same time, he was freaking out badly. Breaking into a cold sweat, feeling his nerves spike 100%, he felt sick but at the same time he was so eager he could scream! The two things preventing him from breaking down under the weight of all these emotions, was his little brother and seeing the state of this place. Whatā€™s with these simple appliances? No offense but your wifi sucks. Oh god, what kind of PC was this? How do you even play any games on something this simple? This was real beginner tutorial level stuff. Seriously? Donā€™t you have anything better? Which is how he became so engrossed in improving everything he could get his hands on. He was so focused on improving your things that he didnā€™t even notice you were here, and so when he did finally notice you, he was right back at square one with the flood of emotions rolling back in.Ā 
ā€œSomeone will get hurt? Nahhhh. I mean, you know, it could happen. The probability is there. Stuff happens, thatā€™s life, isnā€™t it? N-No, that doesnā€™t mean Iā€™ll do anything to themā€¦ Anyway! You donā€™t owe anything to those normies. Seriously, why do you even care about your coworkers? Itā€™d be so much better if you just always worked from home. They just try to boss you around, unlike me and Ortho. Tsk. Theyā€™re so annoying. Especially with how that one loser told you to get him a coffee. Huh? H-How do I know thatā€¦? Umā€¦.ā€Ā 
As a whole...Ā 
Ignihyde is probably the most vigilant of all the dorms. Theyā€™re always watching, even when you think they arenā€™t. Youā€™re kept under 24/7 surveillance, but itā€™s not like you know that. Plus, itā€™s for your safety! Donā€™t you know how many creeps are out there? Itā€™s okay though. You have a young and powerful robot boy who looks up at you with nothing but respect and admiration, and an intelligent introverted shut-in whoā€™s obsessed with you but sometimes far too nervous to approach you himself. Not just anyone could get close to this brother duo. Youā€™ll have a lot of fun with them and theyā€™ll be sure to keep you entertained. They consider you family at this point, you know? Youā€™ve offered them your hospitality and company, surely you think of them as family too, donā€™t you?Ā

DIASOMNIAĀ 
Flowersā€¦? The fragrant smell of nature permeated through your apartment. Quickly you found the source of the aroma, which came from some flowers in a vase in the living room. Flowers which you never collected or were gifted. It was a bouquet of mismatched plants, made of some poppies with missing petals, crumpled daisies, red roses so dark in shade they were almost black, and strangely enough there were even thorns in the bunch. Everything was neater than when you left it. No dust, no stray blankets, everything was orderly. The distant sound of chatter filled your ears, coming from somewhere within the kitchen. And with thatā€“ Oh god, what was that stench? Was something from the kitchen burning? Were the people here trying to burn down your apartment with the stove?
ā€œI will be the one responsible to check! If I cannot even do something as simple as ensure the safety of the playerā€™s abode, then I have no right to even serve them! Forā€“ā€“ā€ The man stopped, halting his marching as he exited the kitchen and came face-to-face with you.
You froze in fear, warily eyeing the tall with light-green hair slicked back. Not only were you frightened of this man who was obviously much stronger than you judging by his build, but this guy had also been talking to someone. There were bound to be others. As his yellow-green eyes widened and his mouth opened, you were struggling to swiftly take out something that may help you. In one hand you held your phone, in the other your keys. Just as you decide whether to call someone for help or try to defend yourself with the sharp end of your keys, the man does the unthinkableā€“ā€“
He starts bawling. This grown man who looked so intimidating and stronger than you, just started sobbing for no apparent reason! Too stunned by what was occurring, you failed to act as he got up close immediately. Yet he didnā€™t touch you, but he peered down at you as he furiously wiped away the tears in his eyes. ā€œWait!!! Pleaseā€¦ Please, forgive me!! Nā€“Not only have we barged in on your sacred dwelling unannounced, but Iā€“ā€“ I mustā€™ve alarmed you!! Itā€™s merelyā€“ā€“ Iā€™m honored beyond belief to finally be in the presence of your true self!! How could I be so lucky? What good deed did I do to deserve this opportunity?!ā€
What? It was safe to say that you no longer felt threatened. Justā€¦ bewildered, and definitely still uneasy.
ā€œSebek, why are youā€“ā€“ Ohā€¦ā€ Right then, another figure emerged from the kitchen. A calm sleepy looking man with silver hair ambled into the room, but his eyes widened upon landing on you. Slowly he approached, gaze fixated on you, as if in a trance. Yetā€¦ he wasnā€™t very threatening. He had this peaceful air around him. You were still hesitant, but you had your phone and keys at your disposal. Upon getting closer, he lowered his head as if bowing while he spoke, ā€œI apologize for the fright he mustā€™ve given you. Father said this was the moment we had all been waiting for but I didnā€™t believe he meantā€¦ this.ā€ His tone was monotoned, but he smiled, his expression showing his happiness but his voice didnā€™t match. ā€œIā€™m so surprisedā€¦ but so happy too. Ah, Father must be waiting to see you thenā€¦!ā€
With little to no room for arguments, the two men flanked your sides, and hurriedly escorted you to the kitchen. The closer you got, the heavier the smell became. Oh god, it was so badā€“ā€“ Inside you saw a mess near the oven. There were bowls, cups, spoons, flour, and a tall leaning to the side abomination that couldā€™ve only been a cake only discernible by the recipe page beside it. There wasā€¦ no one here? Waitā€¦ Looking up, you were surprised to see a short guy dangling from the ceiling like a batā€“ā€“ how was he even doing that?
When your gaze landed on him, he gave a grin, revealing tiny fangs. He lowered himself a bit so dangled upside down in front of you, his black hair with magenta highlights shifting with his movement, his large deep red eyes peering down at you. Judging by the oven mitts on his hands, he was likely the culprit for the mess and the cake as well as the smell of smoke most likely from the oven. But he didnā€™t seem to care too much for that right now, instead he was focused intensely on you. ā€œThere you are! You finally came! I was wondering when you were going to return. Iā€™m sure these two youngins gave you an enthusiastic welcome! As you can see Iā€™ve baked you a cake as a welcome gift from myself. Donā€™t worry too much about the mess, Iā€™ll clean that up and you can try my cooking! Ah, donā€™t be so scared~ā€ He floated down from the ceiling until he was standing upright in front of you. The short man was odd, there was something off about him, but he merely patted your head as the over mitt floated off his hand. ā€œSurely you must recognize us by now. So, you know that thereā€™s one more person waiting for you, donā€™t you?ā€
That was how you found yourself trapped in a room with one of them. The three you met were so excited to meet you, but they were just as eager for you to see the final fourth one of them. You found him wandering your study, admiring the objects and furniture but not touching, as if he were appreciating the priceless displays in a museum. That is until you, the most precious treasure of all, appeared in his vision. You get it now, you understood why people were nervous around him. He just had this air of elegance and superiority. The tall and extremely intimidating man with the black hair looked down at you with his green eyes, at first surprised before he smiled such a soft smile that quickly became a more menacing looking one. Although he may have just been excited and he might have not meant it to look menacing. Then, he spoke, ā€œIt feels like Iā€™ve waited an eternity for this moment with youā€¦ Iā€™m uncertain if it was by one of my attempts, mere chance, or by what I hope was your longing to see me as well, that called me forth and brought me and my companions to your world. Iā€™ve dreamt of this moment countless times, ever since you first graced me with your presence through your vessel in my world. Although, I realize I am undeserving, that thereā€™s the possibility I may have arrived here by mistake, but I am determined to make the most out of it. So, please grant my wish, I wish to stay beside you for an eternity. If you accept me, Iā€™ll be forever grateful and remain loyal until the very end of time.ā€
One game. You downloaded one game, Twisted Wonderland, on a whim, and now this group of students claimed to be from the Diasomnia dorm from that very mobile game. It was incredibly difficult to believe, almost impossible, if it werenā€™t for their striking resemblance to the characters and the magic they were able to conjure with their pen. What was more of a shock? They claimed to know you as the player. Of course before they knew nothing of your looks or true personality, but now here you were in your divine grace, the real deal right before them! You can be sure that they will take advantage of your kindness as you allowed them to stay until they could find a way to return home. But really, why want to go back when you were here?Ā 
Oh, but you want to know how itā€™s like living with the Diasomnia gang, hm?Ā 
Sebek ZigvoltĀ 
Worry not, he will serve you just as he serves the young master! He, Sebek, will wholeheartedly dedicate himself not only to being of assistance to you but also to defending your abode!!Ā 
What is he doing at the apartment? Serving you, of course! In everything he does, he does for you. Cleaning, cooking, shopping. You actually have to command him to do something for himself, or else heā€™d be taking care of you non-stop.Ā 
Sebek is one of the clingiest members by far. You going out shopping? Say no more, heā€™ll carry all the bags! You want to take a stroll? He shall accompany you and hold your umbrella to protect you from that wretched sun! The sidewalk is too crowded? Everyone move aside, make room!! Itā€™s terribly embarrassing sometimes, so you have to remind him to try and not attract unnecessary attention. If you ask him why not do something he enjoys for once, he immediately responds with ā€œButā€¦ I enjoy serving youā€¦!ā€Ā 
Yes, Sebek enthusiastically does many of the chores and he takes care of the cooking with Silver. Donā€™t underestimate his dedication to fulfilling your every command. Heā€™s loud so if you ask him to be quiet for a moment, he'll stay absolutely silent until you give him permission to speak again. If you mention having issues with someone at work, heā€™s marching straight over and only you can stop him before he gives that poor person a multiple hour long lecture mixed with scoldings and praises of you. Say youā€™re hungry, and heā€™s immediately in the kitchen starting to cook a whole buffet. Thereā€™s nothing he wouldnā€™t do for you, you know.Ā 
Speaking of food, like mentioned previously, Silver and Sebek handle the food meaning they make your lunch. If it werenā€™t for Silver placing some restrictions, Sebek would be giving you enough food for everyone on the floor you work on. Still, he makes sure you have more than enough. Heā€™s packed a healthy appetizer and a good main dish paired with a side dish! Oh, and hereā€™s a portable mug with freshly brewed tea!Ā 
He says goodbye at the door when youā€™re leaving for work but itā€™s a long goodbye because heā€™s following you through the halls, down the stairs, all the way towards the street. No, no, he cannot follow you this time. Annnnd heā€™s still following. You implemented a rule for all four of them, they are not allowed to enter your workplace when youā€™re busy. Before the rule was implemented, Sebek tried barging in more than once. After the rule, he tried to get a job as a security guard for the building. Thankfully, he was rejected because he just wanted to guard one floor which was the one you worked on. He takes matters concerning your security seriously, you must text him at least once every thirty minutes so he knows you okay! At the very least, you havenā€™t seen him hurt anyone just to keep you safe. And youā€™re sure he hasnā€™t harmed anyoneā€¦ right?Ā 
If itā€™s not obvious by now, Sebek probably has the hardest time when you leave. You havenā€™t seen it, but since the large portrait heā€™s commissioned to have placed in his room is not complete yet (he also asked for one of Malleus), he keeps a locket with your picture around his neck. Every once in a while when you arenā€™t around, others will catch him gazing fondly at your image. The second your shift is done, heā€™s somehow already in the elevator waiting for you. If the others manage to convince him to wait at home, you arrive to see him standing rigidly at the front door like a soldier waiting to be given commands. He has the brightest smile as he greets you loudly and enthusiastically. Give him a head pat for his good work.Ā 
Ah, yes, your vessel Yuu. Heā€™s proud to report that he served your vessel as well!! Although every time he recalls how he used to view your vessel as a mere human of no significance, he scorns himself. If only he wasnā€™t so blind, if only he realized your importance earlier he couldā€™ve spent much more time in your graceful presence!! Thatā€™s the only regret he has concerning your vessel.Ā 
Oh, the pure joy he felt upon seeing youā€“ā€“! The overwhelming feeling of your grace washing over his entire being filled him with such bliss! Why, he was simply so thrilled, so shocked but delighted that he was moved to tears!! Ā 
When Lilia requested that he guard the front door, he immediately did so. How astute of sir Lilia, he was right, the door had to be guarded in the case that someone arrived! Sebek volunteered to do the job, wishing to take the task instead of Silver. That way he would be the first to see who came through the door! What he didnā€™t expect was for the player he practically worshipped to be there! Why, it sent him into such a shock, making his jaw drop! Thatā€™s when he burst into tears, awestruck by your presence that overwhelmed him!! All his time that he devoted to training in combat, learning from various classes, teaching himself useful skills, it was not just for the young master Malleus but also for youā€“ā€“! You were the only other person he could hold in such high regard!!Ā 
ā€œMy liege!!! I welcome you home!! I apologize for not being present today to escort you home! I envy my companions who were able to bask in your wonderful presence while escorting you here safelyā€¦! Tskā€“ā€“ However! Iā€™ve spent my time wisely. Iā€™ve cleaned the entire apartment while everyone was absent! Additionally, Iā€™ve prepared everything necessary for dinner! Thank you for working hard today once again!! I sincerely hope that my measly efforts are able to lift some responsibility off your shoulders!!ā€Ā 
SilverĀ 
Ah, so this is your homeā€¦ Itā€™s very nice. He will do his best to protect it. Please, rest assured, he will defend you and your home until his last breath.Ā 
Whatā€™s he usually doing? Well, when not volunteering to do chores, heā€™s sleeping. Silver being classic Silver. He tries really hard to stay awake but your home is justā€¦ so comforting. And your presence is so relaxing, how can he not justā€¦ be lulled into aā€¦ deep sleepā€¦
Silver is probably the best person to have with you. Heā€™s calm and manages to charm everyone without even trying, not to mention heā€™s the only human in the group. Heā€™s grateful whenever you allow him to go with you. It gives him an opportunity to learn more about you, your homeland, and the humans around. Like the rest of the group, he sometimes has difficulty understanding human customs despite being human. Forgive him, he was raised by fae. Please, teach him?Ā 
Believe it or not, itā€™s Silver whoā€™s the most beloved by the neighbors. Theyā€™re all crazy over him, especially the women. The old ladies love to pinch his cheeks because heā€™s such a gentleman, the mothers wish their sons were like him, the younger women all try to flirt with him all the time, even the children adore him because heā€™s just like the prince in their fairytale books! Whenever they give him gifts, which is often, Silver doesnā€™t mind sharing with you. In fact, he actually prefers it if you had the gift.Ā 
Ah, the animals. Silver really is like a magical prince. For some reason, animals just flock to him. On more than one occasion, youā€™ve caught them helping Silver with chores. Birds moving wet clothes to dry on the balcony, squirrels helping him sweep up dust, etc. How does he do it? You have no idea. While you were at work once, a pair of pigeons delivered you a bouquet of flowers with a note simply reading: To my beloved. From, Silver. Knowing Silver, it probably wasnā€™t even his intention to be romantic. He probably just saw some pretty flowers he wanted to give you.Ā 
Yes, heā€™s very chill and itā€™s difficult to tell how he feels by his expression. In fact, youā€™ve only seen him get angry once. It was at a cafe, seated at a small table as you awaited your orders to collect the food and meet the others elsewhere so you could have a picnic. You had placed your purse on the back of your seat as Silver sat nearby, dozing off a bit. You werenā€™t paying attention as you waited for your order number to be called, when a stranger strolled by and reached for your unattended bagā€“ā€“ Never before had you seen Silver snap fully awake so quickly before. Nor had you ever seen his face contort into anger as he gripped the would-be-thiefā€™s wrist before he could even touch your belongings. The situation ended peacefully from what you remembered. But when you werenā€™t listening, Silver made sure to inform his Father and Master Malleus, which led the two to properly punish the thief without you knowing.Ā 
Yes, he did quite miss youā€¦ but he doesnā€™t want to bother you when he knows you are busy. Heā€™ll only act clingy if you allow it and if you spare time for him. To him, it doesnā€™t matter what youā€™re doing. You could be looking at another person, but as long as heā€™s in your presence, then heā€™s content. Althoughā€¦ he wouldnā€™t deny any attention you do decide to give him.Ā 
Yes, he knew your vessel Yuu. Just as he was training to be a knight worthy to serve and protect Master Malleus, he would also do the same for your vessel. In his eyes, you were like the royalty a knight should devote themselves to.Ā 
Of course seeing the true you for the first time would put a smile on his face. Do you realize how difficult it is to actually get Silver to visibly smile? If this was merely a fantasy formed by his desires in his dreams, he never wanted to wake up again.Ā 
When the sound of Sebekā€™s loud sobs reached his ears and when Lilia gave an amused glance at him, Silver took both of these as a sign to investigate. He and Sebek had no idea where they were or what was going on, but Lilia and Malleus seemed content, even absolutely delighted to be here. Wherever here was. If they were so happy to be here, then perhaps he shouldnā€™t be so worried. Then he saw you in front of his crying companion, and it all made sense. They had sensed your presence and knew you would be here. Right then, it felt like he was having an otherworldly experience, just by seeing you. It felt like this couldnā€™t be real, like this was far too good to be trueā€“ā€“ yet here you were. His legs moving on his own, immediately drawn closer until he found himself bowing and smiling up at you.Ā 
ā€œThank you for allowing me to escort you to work today. Iā€™m very happy right nowā€¦ Hm? I donā€™t look happy? But Iā€™m smiling? Ohā€¦ am I not smiling? Apologies. Please know that being beside you with the privilege of being your protector is everything Iā€™ve dreamed of. If I were to get injured or worse by defending you, I would not mind. I would risk every part of my being just to see you safe and smilingā€¦ Ahā€“ā€“ thatā€™s both sappy and concerning you say? But Iā€™m only speaking how I feelā€¦ā€Ā 
Lilia VanrougeĀ 
Oh, donā€™t fret, little one! Lilia is here now. Not only will he keep all these young ones in line, but heā€™ll be sure to care for you and love you.Ā 
Whatā€™s he up to around the apartment? Honestly, youā€™re not sure. You rarely see him cleaning, but somehow he keeps the apartment spotless. When up to his own devices, he seems greatly intrigued just by the things of his world so he usually explores and shows you his finds or new knowledge. He mentioned something like the unknown making him feel young again.Ā 
Itā€™s like having a dad all over again, but a very fun laid back kind of dad. This includes lovingly teasing you for almost everything, embarrassing you by pridefully showing you off whenever the opportunity presents itself, and the talks that include wisdom from a very ancient fae. Youā€™re still stuck with his horrible cooking though.Ā 
Lilia probably fits in the most, which is strange considering heā€™s a fae with a vast past. People donā€™t seem to look twice at his ears because they assume itā€™s a prop or theyā€™re hidden by his hair. Not to mention the highlights in his hair combined with his attitude and how he takes a liking to grunge/punk clothes. If youā€™d pass him on the street youā€™d have no idea he was from a magic world. Additionally, he seems to get along with most people. Itā€™s very weird to see this short guy wearing edgy fashion and somehow relating to the elderly war veterans in the apartment complex. Although you donā€™t mind, since he has their favor and they give him extra supplies for the apartment.Ā 
He makes sure youā€™re loved. Cheek kisses, head pats, checking in on you after a long day, willing to do whatever it takes to cheer you up. Heā€™s easily the most openly affectionate out of the group. If youā€™re tired, heā€™ll hum or sing you a lullaby if you ask. He can be surprisingly gentle and soft. Once after a full day out with all of them, you promptly passed out upon returning home as your head lay in his lap and he gazed down at you with nothing but eyes filled with adoration. Malleus was nearby, his fingers weaving through your hair as he felt content at seeing you so peaceful. Meanwhile the bickering between Silver and Sebek had stopped, both had fallen asleep on the other couches too. It was a picturesque scene.Ā 
Lilia prefers that you donā€™t see a certain side of him, however, he wonā€™t scramble to hide it. If you find out then you find out, but youā€™ll still have him. Lilia can be ratherā€¦ cruel. Thatā€™s probably something to be expected of a fae whoā€™s seen war and experienced so much. Any threat to you is quickly snuffed out. Heā€™ll give a firm talk to co-workers who treat you badly, heā€™ll hunt down creeps who tried to take pictures of you or touch you in public, and if someone ever dared try to mortally wound you? May whatever higher being there may be have mercy on their soul once Lilia gets his hands on them.Ā 
Oh, Lilia missed you deeply. In fact, itā€™s fairly common for him to try to guilt-trip you into working from home today just so he can be with you. Sometimes itā€™s hard to say no to his cute face and crocodile tearsā€¦ When you do go and return, you immediately are greeted by a warm hug as he asks to hear about your day.Ā 
Ah, your cute little vessel Yuu. Yes, he knew them well. Ever since day one, you had intrigued him greatly. In his several millennia long lifetime, he had never once met someone like you. You were truly one of a kind, and he wanted to know you better.Ā 
As soon as he appeared, he realized almost immediately that he was in a place dear to you. Although it was faint, he could feel your presence, meaning you had been here. Well, what an unexpected turn of events! This was not how he expected his day to go! In the meantime, heā€™d prepare something sweet to welcome you with. Letā€™s see here, what ingredients were in the kitchenā€¦Ā 
Of course he knew it was you at the door! It was why he sent Sebek first then Silver, wanting the two to see you first before he could later keep all your attention and coo over you. Ah, he was patient as it came with age, but he hadnā€™t felt this impatient in a long time. He put a lot of effort into thisā€¦ cake, for you! He truly hoped you liked it. Now to surprise you! And it certainly was a surprise to see him floating from the ceiling, and he relished in your reaction, and your presenceā€“ā€“ oh, your sweet grace! He canā€™t ever remember a time where he felt this happy to see someone before. He just canā€™t wait to take you under his wing, fret over you, and just spoil you silly!Ā 
ā€œGood morning, my little bat! Breakfast is almostā€“ā€“ hm?... Youā€™re already about to leave for work? My, my, is it really that late in the morning already? How time flies. Are you not working from home today? Ohā€¦ but I planned to spend time with you during your break. I even saved so you can spend at any cafe we pass byā€¦ Of course, itā€™s fine, I know youā€™re busy and you work hard. But everytime you go, I get so lonely I can c-cryā€¦ Oh? Last minute change of plans? I see! Heheh, Iā€™ll be sure to spoil you with whatever you want on your break then!ā€Ā 
Malleus DraconiaĀ 
So this building is your residence?ā€“ā€“ No? Only these few rooms and the rest belong to others? Ahā€¦ but you deserve much more. Shall he, Malleus, ward off the rest of the humans and demolish this complex to have a castle built in its place? No? As you wish, heā€™ll leave you to reside in this apartment since you find it satisfactory.Ā 
What could he possibly be doing in your apartment? A majority of the time, you have no idea. Heā€™s just following you endlessly so long as you allow him to. You never really see him do chores, perhaps because his retainers do it for him or he does it when you arenā€™t looking. Really anything you want to do, heā€™ll gladly join you. Although youā€™re not certain what he does when heā€™s not with youā€¦Ā 
As mentioned before, heā€™ll always try to follow you simply because he does not want to be apart from you. At first it was a little unnerving but you quickly got used to it. Heā€™s able to go out with little to no trouble, since most people think his horns and ears are some strange prop, plus you made him and the others promise to not use magic in public. One good thing about his presence is he always scares off unwanted company. Even if people donā€™t know who he is, heā€™s intimidating enough with the way he carries himself.Ā 
Malleus believes you deserve the world and more. So he covers all costs. Will this pile of gold from his treasury do? What is he thinking? You deserve much more than this puny sum! No, you insist, thatā€™s more than enough. As to how he even got his treasures here, you have no clue. All he asks in return is for your company. He truly does care for you possibly more than anyone, so heā€™ll gladly give more gold just to spoil you. If you bring him with you to shop or any simple outing or invite him somewhere, heā€™s over the moon with joy.Ā 
Although itā€™s hard to believe it since he acts so refined and elegant. You think heā€™s an enigmatic being, maybe a little peculiar, and he always keeps his cool but in actualityā€¦ heā€™s weak for you. Even if he seems calm, any moment with you sends his heart fluttering. Every glance, every smile, every touch, every word, every gesture, it fills him with so much unbelievable ecstasy that makes his heart beat wildly. Who would have thought that such a peaceful simple domestic life would satisfy a prince like him?Ā 
Everything you say, everything you do, even what you think matters. He teased you and such, but never to the point of upsetting you, just because he cannot resist seeing your range of emotions and reactions. One day when he nearly exposed magic to a passerby when attempting to impress you with his skills, leading to you becoming worried and upset, he was absolutely devastated. Malleus believed you were cross with him, how could he do such a foolish thing and anger you? Next thing you know, there was suddenly a nasty storm with powerful lightning and thunder despite the sunny weather five minutes ago, unconsciously formed by his immediate regret and immense guilt. Yet as soon as you spoke to him as he apologized profusely and you explained you werenā€™t angry at him, the storm quickly cleared upon comforting him. Needless to say, he was not about to make the same mistake twice.Ā 
You seem to have no worries recently. Of course he and Lilia handle each little matter stressing you. If you stop, you might actually notice the way your rude boss shivers upon seeing the fae waiting to escort you home from work. If you turned around to see Malleus, you mightā€™ve seen the way he glared down at the shop owner that scammed you as said owner nervously gave you much more than you paid for. Oh, youā€™re scared of going out at night because of creeps? Fear not, for he will be beside you the entire time. Besides, he and Lilia already weeded out allā€¦ potential threats in the area. You will be safe as long as he is around.Ā 
You know, heā€™s actually much worse than Sebek when it comes to clinginess. You just never notice Malleus. If you think youā€™re aloneā€¦ youā€™re not. If you feel like youā€™re being watched when you leave all four of them at homeā€¦ youā€™re being watched. The fae prince never truly leaves you alone. He tells himself itā€™s to keep you safe and content always, but itā€™s partly for himself too. Heā€™d feel far too lonely if he actually left you for over five minutes. Maybe his lingering presence, even when you donā€™t know it, explains some little things. The coffee you left cold at your desk is pleasantly warm when you come back, when you turn around the mess of papers is suddenly an organized stack, that coworker you had a fight with suddenly went home sick and didnā€™t return for nearly a week and when they did return they seemedā€¦ scared.Ā 
Malleus likes to believe he knows your vessel, Yuu, better than anyone else. Afterall, he met you early on, he even accidentally helped you. He knew you were a strange one in the beginning, but he had no idea how special you were until later on.Ā 
Like Lilia, he was quick to realize where he was. At first, he was shocked, in pure disbelief. This must be some kind of miracle or a cruel jokeā€“ā€“! Lilia was quick to keep Sebek and Silver busy, while he was left to his own devices. So, he explored, but never daring to touch anything, as if even the trashcan in the corner were sacred since it belonged to you.Ā 
Of course he felt your nearing presence. It felt like time was longer than ever now, like every second was an hour. When he heard Sebek sobbing followed by Silverā€™s voice, he felt his heartbeat quicken. It was happening. You were almost here. Soon, you would come to see him. When he heard the distant voice of Lilia in the kitchen, he felt nervous for the first time in a long while. The moment was coming when he would see you finally, but the moment didnā€™t seem to come fast enough. Part of him was worried you would fear him. After all, this was technically like a first meeting, so if that were the caseā€“ā€“ heā€™d simply do everything in his power so you warm up to him. You meant far too much to him, he would not allow you to leave him alone even if you tried. He wanted this, you, or something with you, far too much, more than anything heā€™s ever desired before. Then he heard the doorā€“ā€“ it was happening! His gaze landed over to you, immediately transfixed on you. This was it. He was finally meeting the person he adored and coveted, the very one he sought out.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re relieved to see me after a long day? Hm, as am I to see youā€¦ Why am I smiling so ominously, you ask? Heh. Well, because Iā€™ve reunited with you, and because I was thinking of the others who were not blessed and have not seen you. Diasomnia was fortunate enough not only to bask in your presence but to live beside you. I merely find it amusing to remember the countless times others within the college had not invited me to see your plaything Yuu, and yet here I am in the company of the true you. I wonder if they realize, if they know, or even see me here alongside you now. Itā€™s a shame I cannot see them writhing as they wallow in their own sorrows and regret.ā€Ā 
As a whole...Ā 
Diasomnia adores you wholly, in their eyes you can do no wrong. They both revere you and adore you. For you, theyā€™ll do anything, theyā€™ve told you as much. If you asked, theyā€™d even tear this world apart and mold it into how you see fit. You assure them that you never want that, that the most you usually want is help with chores and stuff. Still, they do carry out your commands, even if itā€™s not anything major. You have a dedicated green-haired half-fae eager to please you in any way, a sleepy young man that keeps the calm and peace, an ancient fae who dotes over you, and a fae prince willing to bring this society to its knees should you ask. With these four, theyā€™re practically like family at this point. An overpowered, obsessed, and overprotective familyā€¦ They treasure you very much, I hope you realize that. Youā€™ve offered them your hospitality and company, surely you wonā€™t think of ever getting rid of them, right?

With a Xiao-like reader
{not proof-read}
This one was a dm I got at, like, the beginning of October so this one is well over done for
Also, to the person that requested this, Iā€™m so sorry it took sooo long. You sent it when I was in a slump in my writing and I didnā€™t wanna delete it because then I wouldā€™ve felt bad
I really hope you enjoy this!
==================================

Malleus could tell by looking at you that you were deeper than you let onā€¦metaphorically, of course. He could feel a deep sadness from you but he could also feel a life time from you. How strange
His curiosity of you never left him, even when he saw you up in a tree in the courtyard seemingly admiring the soft breeze that day
He doesnā€™t know why, but his first instinct was to call out to you. He didnā€™t even know your name, and yet you responded to him
You were surprised that someone had actually tried to talk to you, considering he was probably the first ever since you got here. Well, you might at well talk to him, since he went out of his wayā€¦
Malleus ended up enjoying your conversation a lot, even if you only started off with short answers. He learned of what you were; a yaksha. Heā€™s never heard of such a species before. He also learned of your magic, or vision as you call it and how it was given to you and of your ā€œfatherā€
He didnā€™t recognize how late it had gotten when it was time for the next class exchange. You bid your farewells to the fae before disappearing into the wind. As he sat on that tree branch, thinking back to your conversation, he didnā€™t miss the way his heart skipped a beat at the thought of you
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tumblr media
Lilia has been alive for many, many years and has met and seen many thing. And yet you were someone new. You had a sad aura around you but how you held yourself showed pride and strength which he hasnā€™t seen in a while
He tried his best to learn more about you without upsetting you or pushing you away. So imagine his luck when you were just sitting in a tree in the courtyard
He immigrated flew up to the tree and surprised you with his usual antics. Well, even if he didnā€™t know your name yet, you had no choice but to respond to him considering he was right in front of you
Of course you were spooked when someone you barely knew suddenly popped up next to you. How in the world did you not notice him? Well, he made an effort to get your attention so maybe you should just talk to himā€¦
Lilia loved seeing you go from short hand answers to actually conversing to him the longer you both talked. He learned many things about you. That fact that you were a yaksha and have lived a long life, your vision and what it meant to you, and even learned of your father figure whoā€™s cared for you for many years
He hadnā€™t realized how long youā€™ve been talking for until he heard the bell for class changes. As you bid him farewell and disappeared in the wind, Lilia thought back to your conversation and how he couldnā€™t repress his red face or beating heart. Maybe he wasnā€™t too old to have crushes

Riddle Rosehearts
The Unbirthday party went without hitch and itā€™s thanks to you
Heartslaybul was short on hands and Riddle didnā€™t think they could get all the preparations done in time
You had helped Ace and Deuce paint the roses; they wasnā€™t a single white spotĀ 
You had baked many desserts with Trey and man, were they delicious (yum!)
But what Riddle noticed most of all is that you always kept a smile on his face and now, he wants to bring one to your face forever
He had asked you to visit him in private in the rose maze after the Unbirthday party
You have arrived in the rose maze and met with Riddle, who looked nearly as red as the roses with his hands behind his back
Riddle stepped forward and held out what was behind his back: a bouquet of roses
ā€œI grew these and picked them for you, so I would appreciate it if you would have a tea party with me. ā€¦Yes, I want to go on a date with you because I love you!ā€

Leona Kingscholar
Ruggie better not have had lied to him
Leona has no relationship experience and why would he? Theyā€™re just too much effort to maintain and deal withā€¦
Is what he thought before he fell in love with you and you occupied his mind 24/7
Ruggie was the first to find out, not like Leona was subtle, and he offered his expertise (in exchange for a weekā€™s worth of food of course)
A gift, Ruggie had said, everyone likes gifts
Make it expensiveā€¦ or meaningful
Leona held his present as he laid back, waiting for you to arrive- oh there you are
You asked him what he was doing in Ramshackle, laying in your bed
He said nothing and held out his present; a stuffed lion all too adorable and cuddly, just like your Leona
ā€œYeah I bought it for you, so what? You didnā€™t think I could be this considerate? Well I can. If you wanna pay me back, meet me in the Botanical Garden. Iā€™ll take you somewhere if you do.ā€

Azul Ashengrotto
And it's all planned out from start to finish
Of course Azul needed to plan out his potential date with you, what did you take him for?
First, you come to Mostro Lounge because he had already invited you, but he was already waiting by the Octavinelle dormā€™s mirror
Because of some inconvenience, oh no, Mostro Lounge had to close early!
He wouldnā€™t mind taking you out and heā€™d gift you a little something somethingĀ 
But by the stars the day didnā€™t go as planned, as Azul stares at the storm raging outside and the rain violently slapping the outside pavement (damn, who pissed off Malleus for a storm of this size?)
A very disappointed Azul goes back to his Lounge, takes a seat at one of the chairs and buries his head in his hands; you werenā€™t even going to come, were you?
But by some stroke of chance, he hears the door chime open and your muttering, something about heavy rain
The cephalo-merman stands up in shock: could you steal his heart any more than you already have?
And now, he can finally give you his gift, a locket with both your initials engraved together
It wasnā€™t according to the plan, but Azul didnā€™t mind: the look on your face when being gifted the locket made everything worth it
ā€œWait, you actually came? Ah, I suppose that would mean thatā€¦ you like me too? Of course, you coming here also makes you a customer. Order anything you like, for this was a surprise for you. Consider the locket and dinner a buy one get one free! Though I wonā€™t make you pay for anythingā€¦ā€
Tumblr media
Kalim Al-Asim
Parade for two, though Kalim prefers to call it a couple parade!
Kalim wanted to confess and be yours as soon as he could, so he asked Jamil about any confession ideas
To which Jamil replied to confess in his own way and left to do anything else
And so Kalim came up with his own adorable plan: heā€™d host a small parade for you and confess at the end of it
And one more present heā€™d make by hand!
You sat outside, behind the training grounds on a special seat Kalim designed and ordered for you
First came the horses, racing steadily forward; next came the peacocks flocking and spreading their feathers
Finally came the elephants and Kalim, looking somehow even more cheerful than ever
You gasped as you realized the elephants held a sign reading, I love you
One of the elephants pass Kalim a box with their trunk
ā€œIā€™m so happy you came! Here, I made you these chocolates myself! I hope they taste good. And right, like the sign says, I love you! Letā€™s go hit up a party together, okay?ā€
Tumblr media
Vil Schoenheit
Of course Vil was confident, who would reject The Vil Schoenheit?
And yet, Vil worried his feelings would go unrequited and he wouldnā€™t be able to give you his own heart
And so, he pulled all the stops
He could order something expense, after all he was a famous student actor and had the wealth for it, but heā€™d rather make you something by hand
Something meaningful, even more than ā€˜It's a Wonderful Lifeā€™
He couldnā€™t help it, his mind always came back to you whether he was acting, studying or anything!
You were like the Phantom of the Opera (except youā€™re so much more beautiful of course!)
Which is why he invited you to Pomefioreā€™s ballroom, the most romantic room in Pomefiore or even Night Raven College as a whole
Once you walked in the ballroom, the door shut behind you and the room went completely dark
You tried to feel around for a light switch, but a spotlight came into you and another one shined directly in front of you, on Vil
ā€œMy potato, you came into my life, as if you were a chaotic tornado. I have compiled a book filled with our memories to be engraved eternally in time. Would you create more mementos by my side?ā€
Tumblr media
Idia Shroud
Canā€™t he confess through text? No? Fine fineā€¦
He first thought sending you a confession text would be enough embarrassment, but now Ortho is telling him to go to Ramshackle and confess in person
Donā€™t get him wrong, he does want to confess to you romantically, but he doesnā€™t know how toĀ 
But then again, someone else butting in and snatching you away would be the bad ending
So, heā€™ll do it, for the completionist route (nahh heā€™s lying it's definitely 100% for you)
He marched- err, awkward stumbled all the way to Ramshackle dorm with a gift he made for you shoved into his hoodie pocket
He made a 3d projection of a Hell flower just for you!
He wanted to knock on your door, but his hand didnā€™t want to, as if it had a mind of his own
Yeah he just stood at Ramshackleā€™s main door trying to work his hands again
Fortunately, you came out and was met face to face with a red Idia
True ending achieved!Ā 
ā€œEEP- Donā€™t creep up on me like that! Uh what am I doing here? Um well, I came to um- give you this projection I made and um- IwantedtotellyouIoveyouOKBYE-ā€

Malleus Draconia
This is a classic friends to lovers, isnā€™t it?
It was only natural for Malleus to fall in love with his one (and only, but that doesnā€™t make his Child of Man any less special!) best friend wasnā€™t it?
All the romantic strolls youā€™d have at night: walking together as he would talk about gargoyles being far superior than grotesquesĀ 
And now, Malleus wants to keep strolling down life together with you
So, he decided to gift you a gargoyle to confess and celebrate the first step in your lives as one
He finds it the least he can do to the person he considers his rock he can depend on whenever his loneliness gets to be too much
You both meet up behind Ramshackle dorm at your usual time to go on midnight walks when he decides to put his surprise into motion
You meet up with Malleus as fireflies swarm the two of you, almost as if pushing both of you closer
With a snap of your Tsunotaroā€™s fingers, a stone gargoyle magically appears within thin air
You could tell he chiseled it by hand and my, was it beautiful
ā€œWhy, of course Iā€™d give you a gargoyle. You must be aware of the feelings I harbor towards you. This gargoyle and my heart are yours. Should you return my feelings, I shall gift you any wonders of this world.ā€
ā€œWhy, of course Iā€™d give you a gargoyle. You must be aware of the feelings I harbor towards you. This gargoyle and my heart are yours. Should you return my feelings, I shall gift you any wonders of this world.ā€

Can you have the overblot boys to have a scarlet witch s/o? I haven't seen anyone does it yet. They can also defeat their overblot
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Literally three requests for this, so I decided to get three birds with one stone (hehe like the Mind Stone lol). Targeted towards a female reader, but no gender-specific pronouns are used.
Spoilers for Malleusā€™s part.
Tumblr media
Riddle Rosehearts
For the first few days in Twisted Wonderland, he saw how you stuck to yourself and Grim and how you avoided everyone. There really was nothing about you, so he couldnā€™t get to know you. However, one day the ADeuce duo was causing too much trouble and Ace in particular was trying to bother you so Riddle had beheaded them. You went out of your way to thank the Housewarden for saving you, and from then on you were kind of attached.
You, to pay your now-boyfriend back, once removed Aceā€™s mouth once you caught him talking trash about him. Of course, Deuce was freaked out that his peerā€™s mouth was now missing, but you honestly did the entire dorm a favor. IBUProfen finally lasted longer than normal because no one got a headache from Ace.
During his overblot, Riddle stood no chance against you. Your powers were too strong, and he was not expecting it. In class, you had only shown a tiny sliver of the true amount of power that you held, and thus you had the element of surprise. In the infirmary, you told him how you got your powers, and the story was just heartbreaking to hear.
Tumblr media
Leona Kingscholar
When you stepped on his tail in the greenhouse, he was about ready to throw hands. However, he saw how absolutely terrified you looked and he felt bad out of nowhere. He was still pretty annoyed that his nap was disturbed, but he had a different priority: making sure that you were actually alright.
To learn more about you, he actually started going to classes actively. You werenā€™t a part of any club, and you were the Prefect to the Ramshackle Dormitory. Your ā€˜magicā€™ was very different, and he had no memory of ever hearing about a Scarlet Witch in Twisted Wonderland. In his training as a prince, he heard no tale about it.
During his overblot, he noticed how you were able to reconfigure the things he turned to dust, even if it was an actual person. Not only that, but you physically restrained him and entered his mind to make him relive his past. Being overlooked, but seeing how his nephew viewed him as the greatest ā€˜Unkaā€™ ever. You even put in a message that he had done enough to prove himself, and his shoulders visibly relaxed. In the infirmary, he thanked you for helping him.
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto
Upon hearing that Ace, Deuce, and Grim had made a deal with a certain merman, you were understandably furious. However, you went to Azul and formally introduced yourself to him. By now, you were pretty confident with yourself, and so you demanded that the dumbass trio be let out of their contract. The cecaelia laughed as he explained that a deal was a deal.
However, you did not like that answer. So, you looked right into his eyes and entered his mind through your powers. In just a few seconds, he relived all of his childhood trauma, and tears were coming out of his eyes. You decided that you were done being nice, and left him to try and compose himself before the next customer came into the Lounge.
During his overblot, you proved yourself stronger than he could ever dream of being. You basically drained him of all the ink until he was in his ā€˜pitifulā€™ (his words, not mine) mer-form. In the infirmary, you told him that you were sorry for putting him through such immense pain, and together you both came up with a better system for the Mostro Lounge. Thus, you both created the point system that is implemented now.
Tumblr media
Kalim Al-Asim
You didnā€™t want too many people knowing about your power for fear of people taking advantage of your abilities, and thus when you were stuck in the Scarabia dorm during the break, you did not use your magic to break out. Plus, you could see that the students were truly suffering and thus looked into it. From the start, you knew that Kalim was being controlled by Jamil. It wasnā€™t hard to see, considering you were also well-versed in hypnosis. The Mind Stone can do that to a person.
Because you saw this, you tried to get the Housewarden alone to try and convince him that he was being mind-controlled by his Vice Housewarden, but to no avail. There was simply no way that his best friend would betray him like that, he said as he brushed your accusation off like it was a spot of dust on his cardigan.
During Jamilā€™s overblot, Kalim watched as you drained the ink from his friend as well as blocked off each attack put against you. You were the one who had also gotten them out of the desert before that, so yeah. Your magic was definitely surprising to him, as he realized that you could do multiple things at once.
Tumblr media
Jamil Viper
He was aware that his hypnosis did not work on you, and that made him panic a bit. It was his best card in the hand that he was dealt; a King card, if you will. But in the game of War, you had an Ace in your hand and your power easily topped his. You both specialized in mind fuckery, so you both went toe to toe very often during the break.
Again, you were a bit more confident with yourself now that you knew how to use your powers for good things, so you once influenced one of the Vice Housewardenā€™s dreams. You made him picture his younger sister Najma, tearing up as she learned about the evil things that he had been doing during his time at Night Raven College. He woke up in a cold sweat, and a small sense of regret crept up in the back of his mind.
During his overblot, you basically flew everyone out of the desert and proceeded to beat his ass without giving him a chance to get back up. In the infirmary, you apologized for hurting him to that degree, but he understood why you had to do it. He did ask if you gave him the nightmare of his sister, and you admitted to it and as an extra apology, you told him about your twin, Pietro.
Tumblr media
Vil Schoenheit
From what he had heard from Epel, you were incredibly powerful. He had to admit that he thought about employing you to deal with his rival, but itā€™s an urge somewhat akin to wanting to burn your house down after a spider that you just barely looked away from disappeared. Plus, he could get arrested, and he doesnā€™t think that orange would be the best color to go to prison in.
That aside, you had to admit that you were very intimidated by Vil. You may be physically more powerful than him, but he had public influence. However, he did see you and your powers during each of the overblots, and Epel as mentioned before has told him about you, so he was intrigued by you and your abilities.
During his overblot, he got a firsthand taste of the true power you held within you. The feeling of all the ink leaving his body was a weird feeling, but a peaceful one. You used your powers to make him conjure an image of his father reading him bedtime stories to make him relax which made the withdrawal of ink an easier process. When he was in the infirmary, he thanked you deeply for your actions.
Tumblr media
Idia Shroud
He has seen you fight against the overblots, and he has to say that you remind him of a character from his favorite superhero franchise: Maroon Sorceress. He had noticed that your magic seemed to be focused on the mind instead of the body like the character, which he found fascinating.
However, he could never muster up the courage to talk to you. You treated Ortho so tenderly, like a parent, and it made his heart flutter. The one time he did meet you in person, he accidentally bumped into you and you made sure that he was alright. You both were kind of shy, but you could tell that he was flustered because of how pink his hair got.
During his overblot, he tried to modify his gear to withstand your magic, but it didnā€™t work. Your powers were more broad than just mind trickery, and thus he was screwed either way. You did make sure that you extracted the ink from the overblot before you started attacking, but it did take a while because he wouldnā€™t stop going after you over and over and over again.
Tumblr media
Malleus Draconia
Alright, so, you were more powerful than the most powerful mage (and that is not Malleus). He didnā€™t think it was a matter to be concerned about until he saw how scared it made you. He particularly noticed it when you had to deal with Azul. You were scared that the merman would see your abilities and put you under a contract to extort you. He had to comfort you and confirm that if anything were to happen to you, he would be there to help.
Your walks with him in the moonlight did wonders to allow both of you to wind down from the responsibilities you have to face on a day-to-day basis. This was how Malleus had fallen deeply in love with you, and you with him. He was the Vision to your Wanda, so to speak.
During his overblot, you were deeply upset that he would try and put a sleeping curse on everyone. You had trouble trying to drain him of ink because he was a powerful mage himself, but you were the Scarlet Witch and thus you had the advantage. You distracted him with images of his childhood with Lilia tossing him gently into the air and smiling. In the infirmary, he apologized for everything, and you held his hands in yours as you stated that you understood his pain.

gift of immortality (Malleus x Reader)
The potion of immortality has been made and Diasomnia rejoices over its discovery. No one is happier than Malleus, who upon the knowledge of the potion existing, presents it to you immediately. The last thing Malleus expects you to do is gently close his hand around the vial of immortality and shake your head. word count: ~2.4kĀ  notes: malleus x reader, gender neutral reader ā€œyou,ā€ established relationship, angst to fluff; hurt/comfort (it works out in the end), diasomnia dorm
.
For a fae, Malleus is much too aware of his lack of mortality. For as powerful as he may be, he will always be beat when it comes to facing the march of time. He is not affected by it-- not directly, anyways, but recently Malleus finds that he wishes that it did touch him the same way it does others, like it does you.
If it did, perhaps his fear of being left behind would not have such a hold on him when he thinks of you growing old.Ā 
He tries not to think upon it too much. He already has so little time with you to lose any of it to the fear of something that is only inevitable. You have told him this very notion several times as gently as you could, so perhaps his fear is not so easily masked (perhaps just to you). And he is fine with it; accepts that things will be as they are, and that his life must be lived to the fullest with you here with him.Ā 
This goes well for him until the time you get sick. And the fear comes back tenfold.Ā 
(Malleus isn't sure what he would have done if he had lost you then, futilely holding onto your clammy hand as your breaths come out unevenly and labored. He isn't ready to lose you. Not then, not now, and now he isn't sure if he ever will be.)
Which is why when a potion of immortality is given to him on a silver platter, Malleus does not hesitate. With Sebek and Silver trailing after him, their congratulations interrupted by his abrupt exit, Malleus goes to find you sitting in the Diasomnia lounge with Lilia and announces the solution to all his problems.
"This is quite the miracle," Lilia says, blinking, "if it is what we believe. When did you request such a potion to be made, Malleus?"
Malleus avoids your searching look as he answers, "A few months, though I am also surprised by how quickly they have developed it, even with my help."
At this, Lilia perks up. "Well, if it truly is a potion of immortality, that is quite the discovery!" Malleus sees the fae gaze at the vial with a hint of longing, and Malleus hopes that his friend will forgive him for not giving him the first batch of the vial for what he assumes would be for his son. Yes, that would be quite the sight-- Silver, Sebek, and Lilia by his side as he rules over Briar Valley for eons on end like his grandmother.Ā 
He looks to Sebek who is switching his attention between looking up at him and the vial in awe. And certainly, Sebek would be wanting the vial for his father as well, as much as he grouses about having a mortal father-- and if not for himself, then for his beloved mother or his siblings to have a father who will live with them throughout their lives. "This is a fantastic endeavor that you have set out to do, young master!" Sebek exclaims, "To possess the power to grant immortality-"
"Shh, now, now, Sebek," Lilia drawls with an indulgent smile. "Not too loud now, lest unsavory company hears of such a thing."
"A-Ah, yes, of course. My apologies..."
To the side, Silver looks on quietly, though even his gaze follows the vial in Malleus' hand as though entranced.Ā 
Finally, he hears your voice then, but it is to teasingly berate Sebek for his loud voice than to comment on the potion that has captivated everyone else's attention.Ā 
Malleus calls out to you, and he likes the way you turn to him immediately, laughter still in your eyes as you look at him. "What do you think of this?"
ā€œAbout the potion?" You say, "I think it's nice. For those who want a longer life... I would say it's great. You can help a lot of people with it... or get paid a lot of money."
"Perhaps you belong in Octavinelle," Sebek mutters immediately, avoiding the swat you gave him for his comment.Ā 
"It is what it is," you tell him, as you have told Malleus and others countless times before. "Immortality would definitely sell. It's dangerous, even. So I hope we're careful about who we give this to, if anyone."
"Yes, Malleus, that would be correct." Lilia says, looking at him carefully. "What did you intend to do with the first vial?"
The vial itself is not very large, as large as his pinky with a liquid that is deeply magenta. Malleus has yet to open it, but he wonders if you will be able to smell it and tell him what scent it holds. He walks to you and holds the vial out to you. "I want you to take it," he says, watching as your eyes widen.Ā 
Malleus thinks of a life long-lived with you by his side. You who temper his anger and guide him to wisdom, you who know him better than he knows himself, you who he has told of all his hopes, dreams, and fears, you who he knows he wants to spend an eternity with (the road to realizing and accepting this was a long one, but he is here now)-- he gives you this vial of immortality.
The last thing he expects is for you to gently close his hand around the vial and shake your head.
"Please don't look at me like that," you say to him after looking away, and Malleus wonders what he must look like for you to tell him that. He thinks that it is a shame that the worst of his emotions are clear on his face at the worst of times. But he cannot quash the feeling of betrayal that comes up at your refusal.Ā 
Perhaps it was foolish of him, but it did not once occur to him that you would ever deny the offer of immortality when others covet it so. When the sense of betrayal fades, it bleeds into disappointment and even the feeling of hurt, tinged with an indignant anger that consumes him like wildfire.Ā 
Don't you want to live a life with him? Hasn't he told you about the loneliness of it all? Do you not understand the pain of being left behind, or do you simply not care?
You suddenly look up at him and snap with a voice just as brittle as he feels, and he realizes he must have spoken aloud. "Don't you dare say I don't care," you say. "How could you even say that?"
"Then take the potion," he says, and his voice is low when he sees you take a step back as though the vial were poison.
"This is a huge decision, Malleus," you say instead. "This isn't something a person does on a whim."
"Then you will think upon it and take the potion then?" Malleus presses, and when he sees the hesitation on your face, he knows you are only trying to placate him. "You will refuse me again when I offer even then, won't you?"
You stand before him with an unwavering resolve that he has always loved about you-- that he wants nothing more than to crush if it would make you see his way. "I'm not going to drink it, Malleus," you say warningly.
Malleus snaps, taking a step forward. "Then shall I make you drink this then, if you will not take it willingly?"Ā 
"You wouldn't," you say, your voice trembling at the strength it takes to speak. "You wouldn't dare, and you know it."Ā 
He wouldn't. He respects you too much to force something upon you, and it is a weakness he didn't expect to have until this moment. (You would never say it is a weakness, though.) Still, Malleus growls, eyes narrowing.
"If you make me drink it," you say resolutely, "then you will lose me."
"And if I do not," Malleus says, a fluttering sense of panic in his heart that he cannot control, "I will lose you anyway! Please.ā€ You look up at him in surprise as he pleads, "Understand where I am coming from. What I am asking of you."Ā 
"This is not something that I can do for you," you tell him, your voice breaking at the end. "No matter how much I love you."
Malleus swallows, hands gripped at his side, as he struggles to speak without his emotions holding him captive. He knows with certainty he has never experienced this predicament before, but loving you has shown him that his emotions can run deep and loyal. "You have never been afraid of me," he says, closing his eyes. "But I've found myself increasingly more afraid of losing you."
"Malleus-"
He says your name and you snap your mouth shut. Malleus thinks he would beg on his knees if you would like him to. Cut his hair, break his horns, leave him bare-- if only you would tell him 'yes.' A future in which you are not in it is beyond what he can imagine. Though there was once a time he was frightened by the love he felt for you, he can no longer remember how he has been able to live a life without it. Without you. "Please.ā€
He watches you as you step closer to him and take the vial in his hand. Instead of opening it, as you seem to want to lay eyes on it as little as possible, you hide it away in your other hand as you grasp his hand with yours.Ā 
There is a silence, and Malleus watches as you shift where you stand, and it is only then that he vaguely remembers that they are not alone in the room. (Not that it matters to him-- not when he has always considered the three in the room akin to family.)
"Can I talk to Malleus alone for a bit?" You ask them, your eyes never leaving him for a moment.
It is telling in his kingsmen's trust of you that they do not question your request, Lilia quickly ushering the two out with a knowing look at you, and Sebek and Silver filing out with little complaint. (Sebek does mutter a little to himself though, but for him, that means a lot.)Ā 
You take his hand and lead him to the couch, and he follows without a word, quieted by the emotional outburst that has left him wrung out.
"Malleus," you begin to say, rubbing his hand with your thumb comfortingly, "how do you feel about the time you've spent with me so far?"Ā 
"I enjoyed it," he says immediately. "Very much so. Though we have not known each other for very long (in my eyes), it feels as though I have known you forever." Malleus takes your hand in his and squeezes it, liking the way you squeeze it back almost automatically. "My time with you has been worth living through," he says, and you smile; he feels himself lighten with just the sight of it.
"I think," you say, "that I have been very lucky to meet you where we are. At this time, at this age." You look at the wall of the dorm, lost in thought. "We could have not met at all." Malleus flinches at the thought of it. "Isn't that funny?"
"I would not go so far as to call it 'funny,'" Malleus mutters, and you laugh, quick as you are to find amusement in his fits of petulance.Ā 
"Well, what I'm trying to say is getting to know each other is a miracle on its own." You tell him, your eyes meeting his, "You are my chance encounter, Malleus. I feel very lucky to have met you in this lifetime.ā€
"We could have more than a lifetime together," Malleus says. He eyes the vial in your other hand, and when you see his line of sight, you bring it to him, palm up. When he does not take it, you place it in the space between the two of you where it stays.
"I do not want immortality." You raise your free hands to cup his face, thumb brushing against his cheek tenderly, and he feels like falling apart. "I want to make this life of mine count. I know you don't understand that right now but..." You reach up to press a kiss to his forehead. "Maybe you will someday. But regardless, this is my choice, Malleus."
Malleus closes his eyes when he feels you press your lips onto his skin, your hands holding him as though he were a fragile gemstone. He reaches up to hold onto your wrist, your pulse a comforting beat against his fingers, and he thinks that love is oh-so-loathsome at the same time it is wonderous. To have known your love and touch but to also covet it and know what it would feel without it-- it is overwhelming.Ā 
"I hate the knowledge," he says finally, "that you will one day go to a place where I cannot follow."
At this, he feels your hands curl into his face, and before he knows it, your lips are on his, pressing kisses into them as though it were your last chance. Malleus wastes no time in hesitating, returning your affection with as much fervor as you-- tilting his head and pressing forward until you are as close as can be, his hands grasping at your sides.Ā 
"...Is this really okay?" You ask, your voice wavering with the presence of tears, more unsure that you've been in the past hour. You press your forehead to his, squeezing your eyes shut from the world. "If everything works out with us, beyond NRC, beyond... everything else with your royal status, my education... is it really okay that I stay with you?ā€
Malleus breathes out your name, feeling you shudder. He grasps onto your face gently and whispers to you, "A day, a week, a month, a year, a decade, a lifetime-- even if I cannot spend my entire life with you, I am yours for as long as you will have me."
"Till death do us part," he hears you say wetly, and he brushes a stray tear away from your cheek.
"'Till death do us part,'" he says back to you, like a promise, and the two of you hold each other as though protecting the other from the world.
The vial of immortality lay temporarily forgotten in the divot of the couch.

Oh, request are open! Ok, so, long ago in one of the letters Malleus said he wouldn't mind if we ruled the Queensdom of Roses so how about in the self-aware AU the player goes and becomes the ruler there and maybe reforms the rules(laws?) so they make a little more sense and erase some unnecessary ones. Player decided to go there since Malleus is well capable of ruling Briar Valley without their help. How would Malleus, Riddle and Leona react to this event? Im sure Leona won't be happy...
Thankyou and I hope you have a nice day! šŸ’• ā˜ŗļø
Self-aware au
I do not take any responsebility for you reading this no matter which age group you are from!
WARNINGS: Yandere themes, obsession, religion, imprisonment, manipulation, murder
Riddle Rosehearts/Leona Kingscholar/Malleus Draconia-Player becomes a ruling power
Tumblr media
I think he is happy... no, aggressive... happy? Agressive? I don't know...
When he heard that you had finally reclaimed your throne he was elated... although he did let out his anger out on some poor student under his care by colaring him
But why is he behaving like that?
Well imagine you have admired, no, loved a person for such a long time and suddenly they are disappearing from right under your nose
Mhm he might have also made a hedgehog hit a student in the face during their regualr cricket sessions
But at the same time, he is so happy he might start to scream out of happiness (not that he didā€¦ he totally did)
Finally he could laugh at all those that simply saw you as someone of the past
And why should he be against the changes in the rule? Times change and if you mean they were becoming too old then so be it
He will get to you though
What he will do is simply say that he is an old friend from NRC and with his mothers status this is rather easy
So no, this is no way to escape him
And he is also so helpfull
The fact that he is overworking himself so that you donā€™t make any more public apperances is of course unknown to you
Do not worry about less and less people coming to visit you, after all Riddle is here to make things less lonely
And if someone still dares to visit you they might have to flee the Queendom
Everything for your attention and eternal ruleā€¦ under his guidance
Tumblr media
A new day, a new headache for Leona
He is not amused and when I mean ā€œnot amusedā€ I donā€™t mean ā€œOh he is just annoyedā€ but rather ā€œhad to use his royal status to hide a poor pile of sandā€ not amused
You may place your bet who the unfortunate NPC was
Leonas home is a bit different than most places when itā€™s about you
Whilst you are a ruling figure, the wisest being that exists or in some cases even a god in some places you are more approachabe in Sunset Savanna
After all, who wouldnā€™t want to drink a cup of tea with the symbol of equality?
Now, you being so approachable isnā€™t exactly helping him in being happy enough to be approachable himself
There are just so many people around youā€¦ god, he just wants to rip them toā€¦ (walk it out Leona, walk it out)
How dare those pests take you away from him!
Leona doesnā€™t care that you are happy helping everyone out, all he wants is for you to stay by his side forever
So donā€™t be surprised when one day you wake up in a cage, remembering faintly how you felt something hit the back of your head before the world turned black
Canā€™t you see? This is all your fault! If only you had stay put in your place besides him he wouldnā€™t have to use such methods
But alas, you are a determined hebivore so there is no other way
What you donā€™t know though are the masses of people protestig in front of the palace, tellig their king he sould find him
But of curse Faranea knows what is going on andā€¦ Leona is his brotherā€¦his only, younger sibling that had already lost so much in lifeā€¦
Safe to say you arenā€™t leaving
Tumblr media
Well uhā€¦ this isā€¦ a interesting situation
Usually it takes a bit longer to establish new ruling systems that are actually stable butā€¦ you just turned the Valley of Thorns into a theocracy within an hour
Now, the Draconia family will of course not loose all itā€™s power, they are just now ruling in your name
Oh, you wish to know what happened to you? Wellā€¦
When Malleus found out that his dearest Overseer had disappeared from NRC and reappeared in his home he might not have almost lit his dorm out of excitement into a huge bonfire
But here we are, you as their all knowing perfect God who just wanted to make sure everything was alright over there now seated on a throne
Other people outside of Lilia, Malleus, Silver, Sebek, our favorite oldest ruler currently living and the servants visiting you? Oh dear, you are making good jokes
You are aware that someone in your position needs to be protected, right?
And this has totally othing to do with dragons hoarding what they like. Mhm totally
Malleus will drown you in luxuriesā€¦ even the plates you eat from are golden!
You would think that an old kind like the Fae would be a bit more against such a sudden swith in power but no, they are totally for your era
They have waited for so long! All those years of praying and being faithfull have finally payed off!
So if you hoped that some kind soul would have helped you escape after you realized how sick their affection for you is then Iā€™m sorry but no. No one will help you
Back to Malleus, our dear Fae is happier than ever
Finally his greatest wish became reality! He always had dreamt about ruling under your guidance!
Now he just needs to make sure those pesky thoughts about wishing to leave finally leave your headā€¦ this is surely just a test, right?

ā€œ Oh? Can i get a recording of you saying that? I want to rub it in riddles face- would help me win a bet too. Haha.. did you actually mean it? You did? Well of course you did!ā€
Deuce
flustered
he is spouting gibberish at 100 miles a minute
his brain no longer works, it is mush that is only fueled by love for you
he honestly thinks this is a dream
he dreams about you so itā€™s not too far off
will stand there for a solid 30 minutes processing the whole conversation
ā€œthe- huh- whaaaa- i donā€™t?? sorry? i think- youā€™re- huhh??ā€
Jack
wag wag wag
heā€™s trying not to be obvious about how happy he is to hear you say that
but his tail gives him away
his face is bright red too

My human (TWST NSFW)
Pairing: Malleus Draconia x M!reader
Warnings: Breeding Kink
Word count: 1,292
šŸ‰šŸ‰šŸ‰šŸ‰šŸ‰
Y/N was heading back to Ramshackle when he saw Malleus standing outside. He walked up to the dragon fae, confused but happy that his boyfriend had decided to come over.Ā 
"Hey, Mal," he greeted his partner with a hug and a smile, "What are you doing all the way out here? I thought you should be in your own dorm by now."
Malleus gazed down on the human and smiled, "I just missed you, darling. So I decided to come spend more time with you. Is that a problem?"
"No, no." Y/N said with a smile as he led his boyfriend to the dorm. "Of course it's no problem. I love spending time with you."
He opened the door and Malleus entered, looking around, "I see you've been fixing it up. It seems to be going well."
"As well as it can go with only me working on it," Y/N said as he put on water for their tea. But his hand was caught in a much larger hand before he could start heating up the water.
"If you need help, you could have asked me, darling," Malleus said softly, practically a whisper beside the human's ear. "I would absolutely love to help my beloved. Maybe even bring a few of my dorm members to come help too. Though, there is one thing right now that you can help me with right now~"Ā 
Malleus started kissing down Y/N's neck, his hands slipping under his partner's shirt. The feeling of Malleus's gloves against his skin made the human shiver. He leaned into Malleus's touch, a deep laugh coming from the fae.
"Did you come for something specific, Mal?" Y/N shivering as Malleus teased his nipples.
"Mmm, nothing really." Malleus's tongue teased the shell of Y/N's ear. Though deciding to tease his beloved boyfriend more, Malleus soon pulled away.Ā 
Y/N whined and turned to face the older male, "Why'd you stop?"
The fae smiled at him before beckoning Y/N to come closer before walking into the living room, "Because the kitchen is hardly the place to be doing what we're both thinking of doing, love." His smile widened into a grin before taking his lover's hand and leading him upstairs.
Y/N huffed and kicked his bedroom door open when they got there before pulling his lover in behind him. Inside, he locked his and Malleus's lips into a passionate kiss.Ā 
"Is the bedroom a suitable place to do the deed, my prince?" He said, just above a whisper, pushing his body against Mal's.Ā 
"More than suitable, my dear," was the Fae's response.
This wasn't the first time that they had done this so they were both very familiar with each other's bodies. It didn't take them long to remove each other's clothes and move their activities to the bed. Y/N lay on his back, one hand absentmindedly stroking Malleus's horns as the fae prepared him for what was to come. Malleus was very good with both his tongue and his fingers so it wasn't much longer until he felt Y/N was prepared enough. He was leaning over to snag a condom out of the nightstand drawer, but a hand gripped his wrist loosely.
He turned to his human lover, "Do you not want to use one tonight?" He asked, making sure.Ā 
Y/N shook his head, "I'm not too worried about the mess tonight. I just want to feel you and only you." He leaned up onto his elbowsĀ  and pulled Malleus into a short, sweet kiss. "Well, as long as it's okay with you, darling. If it makes you uncomfortable, then I won't mind you using a condom."
Malleus smiled at his beloved, happy that he was being so considerate, "I think we'll be alright without one for tonight. That way I can fill my beloved human up and breed you just right~" He wasn't thinking about whether or not that was even possible but the mere thought had him shivering, and caused his cock to twitch.Ā 
Y/N grinned deviously, seeing Malleus's reaction to his own words, "Is that what you want, darling~?" He asked, pouring some lube into his hand and stroking Malleus's cock, teasing his beloved. "You want to breed me~?"
Malleus had no idea why but it sounded so hot coming from Y/N that he bucked into his hand, whining when the human let go of his cock, "Can I? Can I please breed you, love?"
Y/N grinned and nodded, spreading and holding his legs for Malleus, letting out a soft gasp as he felt the tip of Malleus's cock press against him, "Come on, baby~"
With the little bit of urging, Malleus slowly started to push into his lover. He did it slowly since he was quite big and he didn't want to hurt his partner, despite them having done this multiple times already. Once he was all the way in, he stilled and pressed soft kisses onto his lover's face before meeting his lips in a passionate kiss, trying to distract his lover from the discomfort.Ā 
After a few minutes, Y/N started gently rocking his hips, soft gasps leaving his lips which were already kiss swollen. Malleus gently gripped his lover's hips, slowly pulling out until only his tip was inside before slowly pushing back in. He kept up the slow, gentle pace for a bit before sweeter sounds started coming from his human.
No longer feeling much discomfort, Y/N wrapped his legs around Malleus's waist, using the leverage to rock back on his cock, "F-faster please~" he begged, dragging Malleus down to him, kissing him roughly and biting his bottom lip. Malleus chuckled into the needy kiss and obliged, his grip tightening on Y/N as he started snapping his hips, driving his cock into him harder and faster each time.
"Do you like this, darling~?" He moaned, fighting the urge to close his eyes due to the pleasure he felt to gaze down at his lover.
Y/N's eyes were glassy and half-lidded, gazing back up at the fae. His lips were parted and pants and moans were willing out with each hard thrust. Then, he threw his head back, and a particularly loud moan escaped him as his back arched. Malleus grinned and started hitting Y/N's sweet spot with each thrust. He moved one of his hands to Y/N's lower stomach, gently kneading the soft flesh.
"Tell me how much you want me to fill you up, darling~" he purred, his hips still rocking into his lover harshly.
Y/N stuttered and gasped, "I want you to fill me up so badly, baby please~" He was damn near babbling now. "Please fill me up and breed me~" From how tight he was, Malleus knew that his human wouldn't last much longer so he lowered his hand to stimulate his partner more. With a cry, Y/N came with a cry, his body shuddering and clenching around Malleus. The fae could only last for a little bit longer before he pushed in deep and came inside his lover. He rocked his hips a little to ride them both through their orgasms before stilling. He gently maneuvered them so that they were both laying on their sides cuddling before pulling out.Ā 
"Wow, I had no idea that that was one of your kinks," Y/N giggled a little once he had caught his breath. "Though honestly I don't mind. It was kind of hot."
Malleus grinned, kissing his lover on the forehead, "Honestly, I did not know either. The words just slipped out of my mouth. "But I'm very glad you liked it." He smiled and kissed him again.

How You Met/Enemies to Lovers, Crowley Edition
Summary: Dire Crowley x gn!reader. At first you were a thorn in his side. Now he can't do without you. Part of mini series for @stygianoir
A/N: It's in my pinned post, and I've mentioned this in a couple posts, but if this is the first of my stuff you've read, I view NRC as an actual college, so reader here is 18+. If it makes you more comfy, imagine it as grad school age.
Other Versions: Idia. Crewel. Rook. Vil. Malleus. Lilia. Leona.
Tumblr media
Dire had been headmage of NRC for nigh over a century, and he'd never had a year like this. First some magicless student had warped space and time to cross dimensions and invade his school. Then a fire monster had bonded with said student, and now they were inseparable. And if things couldn't get more aggravating for him, after he'd generously offered you both a place in his school, and trying to find a way home for you, everywhere you seemed to go, his most powerful students would overblot in your wake.
Now here you were again, sitting with your other first year friends, all of you looking like you'd been through hell. And maybe you had.Ā 
"Grim overblotted," you said simply, your voice raspy and choked. "He's fine now."
Dire could feel a headache coming on. "How, may I ask, did this happen?"
"Dunno." You said, clearly as done with this as he was.
He let his eyes wander to your cat monster, who was clinging to you like a scared child.Ā 
"Grim, out of my ever flowing generosity, I will ignore the expenses of the damage caused, should you immediately begin cleaning the mess."
Grim whimpered and clung to you tighter. You whispered something into his ear, and you and your friends all stood up.
"Wait." Dire held up a hand to stop you all from leaving.Ā  "Y/N, please stay for a moment longer, I'd like to discuss something with you."
You looked nervously at your cat monster, and whispered something to him, before trying to hand him to Jack. This led to Grim crying and clutching you tighter. Jack gently but firmly extricated him from you then left with the group, you calling assurances after Grim.
You sat back down looking twice as tired as before. He almost felt sorry for you. Almost.
"Y/N, in all my years as headmage, I have never seen one overblot amongst my students, nevermind eight. Yet you come along, and suddenly," he gestured around at nothing.
You muttered something inaudible.
"Speak up, I couldn't quite make that out."
You scowled and made eye contact with a new found confidence. "I said, all your students clearly have deep seated trauma, and you have no therapy or counseling here, so that pent up trauma has nowhere to go."
"An excellent idea! In exchange for me overlooking the correlation between you and this 'trauma going somewhere' you will be our school therapist!"
You looked shocked. And intimidated. "B-butā€¦.Iā€¦I'm not qualified toā€¦"
"Not to worry! I will not just throw you to the wolves. I will prepare an in depth course to make you qualified to handle these cases. Aren't I so generous?"
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā€¦.
That had been five years ago. Despite his misgivings about you, you had thrown yourself thoroughly into the extra course work, as well as overblot research, and all this on top of your "catch up courses" (he'd assigned these so that the normal NRC course work would make sense to you) and your degree work.Ā 
You now had a degree in magical history, a secondary degree in psychology, several published research papers in overblot and it's lasting effects, and a full time job as NRC's therapist.Ā 
Dire couldn't quite help but be impressed. You'd more than exceeded his expectations, and the emotional health of his students was better than ever.Ā 
Most of your research wasn't even his idea, it had been yours. These days, you were researching various potions and sewing if any could mitigate the amount of blot a mage put out. This meant you were working frequently with Divus Crewel.
Was Dire jealous? Hell no!Ā  You were a good employee but still a thorn in his side from how much trouble seemed to follow, and how frequently you asked if he had found a way home for you.
He really had been trying, but at this point he hoped he would never find a way home for you. Not because he cared about you! You were just a valuable asset to the university!
Here you were, sitting in his office again, looking tired. It was reminiscent of your school days. Except the difference being you really hadn't done anything wrong this time.
"Do you know why you're here?"
"Am I getting a raise?" You laughed dryly.
He only laughed back in response, opting not to answer that. "You are here, because I heard from Divus that you collapsed in the lab."
"Am I in trouble?" You asked.
Dire couldn't help the sigh that escaped him. He wished you would just open up to him already. After all this time you still had your guard up around him.
"I have generously decided you need some time off. I am sending you to spend some time in the Scalding Sands. The Asim family has volunteered to host you, and Kalim has agreed to prevent you from working the entire holiday."
You suddenly looked very awake. "I can't go on break now! Divus and I are so close to figuring out the potion!"
Divus. Dire wasn't jealous of your closeness. Totally not.
"To quote your own research back to you, 'an overworked, and overwhelmed mage will have no choice but release the built up strain and anxiety in a way that will be detrimental to their very soul'"Ā 
"I'm not a mage," you pointed out.
"But you are only human." He retorted. "You have spent the last five years pushing yourself to the limits of your being. Humans are not built to take that much strain."
"Might I remind you who asked me to take on as much as I did?"
He smiled in spite of himself. You'd grown used to him enough to push back at least. Progress is progress.
"It's already decided. You are going on break, and I will be coming with you to ensure you actually rest."
You gaped at him. When you found your words you stuttered, "but my researchā€¦"
"Will be here when we get back. Besides, a relaxed mind may lead you to a breakthrough." He showed you out of his office. "Now go pack your bags. Anything not packed in an hour will be left for when you come back."
You practically sprinted from his office.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā€¦.
The Asim family had provided their second estate for your vacation. Crowley couldn't help but wonder how large their main estate was, if this was their second home, but he knew he'd for sure be coming to them for moreā€¦donations.Ā  After assuring Kalim that he was taking over your care, the two of you had the estate to yourselves, minus a couple servants here and there.
He had researched ways to help humans relax before the trip. He spent so much time surrounded by them, but he was still fae, so he had to remind himself. One way listed in the article "How to Perk up Your Human" was to get sun exposure. So he had told you to meet him outside once you were settled so you could both lounge. Of course he would be participating out of the goodness of his heart.
You came out in a casual outfit, and just stared at him. That's when he realized. He wasn't wearing his mask. And you'd never seen him without it.Ā 
He'd started wearing it once he realized that humans were quite drawn to his features; high cheekbones, piercing golden eyes, black hair with a slight wave, otherworldly fae glow. It distracted them. But right now, he felt a burst of pride as you couldn't draw your eyes away from him.
"Y/N." He called, trying not to sound as smug as he felt. "I have prepared some chairs for us to lay down on and get sun exposure."
You startled back to reality, and quickly looked away from him, moving to a lounge chair. You looked tense. Far tenser even than when you had faced all those overblots those many years ago. Luckily, another point in that article could help.
He strode over to your chair, and knelt next to you.Ā 
"Is it alright if I touch your shoulders?" He asked (consent is sexy, kids)
You nodded, clearly confused, until he began to massage the tension from your shoulders. They were so tight, he should have done this sooner. Pretty quickly, you were melting into a puddle at his touch, and he once again felt a beam of pride.
"If you decline your chair flat, and lay on your stomach, I can do your back as well."
You were too lulled to do anything but nod, as he reclined your chair for you, and you flipped to your stomach. You had so many knots, it was insane.Ā 
After a little while, you had dozed off, and he sat in his own chair and napped with you.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā€¦.
The rest of the trip, he had done his best to keep you relaxed and stress free. He had gone through all the points in the article, had confiscated the books you had tried to hide from him, and had made sure that the servants had prepared both high nutrient meals, but also comfort foods.
Meanwhile, he noticed how quickly you not only got used to him, but loosened up around him as well; responding to his jokes with your own, volunteering more of that beautiful personality, even offering him massages to thank him for the ones he had given you. Truly, it was paradise. (He'd like to see Divus get to know you so well. Also, he's not jealous.)
Your last evening of the trip, Kalim had sent over an excellent feast, and some musicians to live the mood. The two of you had a joyful dinner, reminiscing on the trip, discussing the future, just enjoying each other in general.Ā 
A slow song had started to play, and Dire stood up from his chair, and stretches his hand out to you.
"I would be remiss if I didn't offer you a dance."
"I don't really dance," you stammered.
"Then I'll lead. Trust me," at that you took his hand, and he lead you in the moves. The two of you fit together so smoothly, and moved like water.Ā  As the song came to and end, he freed one of his hands to gently cup your face, looking at you with all the sincerity he could muster. He realized he felt a pull to keep you close and never let go (and also, he was indeed jealous of your closeness to Divus). He gravitated towards your lips, and you seemed to feel the same pull, until something flashed across your eyes and you stepped out of his embrace.
"I'm really tired. I'm gonna head to bed. Is there anything you need before I go?"
'you.' he thought. But instead,
"I am well for the evening. Get some good rest."
Then you left him, taking his heart with you.
The next morning the two of you went back to NRC without a word. He hadn't slept the whole night, thinking about you, and what it meant when you pulled away. Both of you went your separate ways, and things continued like that for a week.
He had been reading an article titled "How Humans Process Romantic Feelings" when you had walked into his office. He hastily closed the article, and turned his full attention to you.
"Y/N. How can I help you?" He truly hoped he sounded composed.
"Iā€¦uhā€¦" you looked away for a minute, then with renewed resolve looked back at him. "I wanted to thank you for the vacation. You were right, I had been completely overdoing it."
"It was no problem. As a truly magnanimous employer I care about your well being."
You nodded, seeming unsure how to proceed. But you always managed to surprise him.
"Truth be told, I wouldn't mind doing a vacation like that with you again sometime."
He was practically preening at your statement. He would mooore than not mind another vacation with you, but this time where he'd hold you close, run his hands through your hair, moving his lips against yours, grazing his teeth along your unmarked neckā€¦.
"So yeah, thanks again headmageā€¦"
"Dire, please," he interrupted. "I'd rather you call me by my name."
"Oh, well since we were at work Iā€¦okay, nevermind. Dire. Thanks." You stood up to go.
"Wait," he said, and you looked back at him, eyes full of hope. "My lunch hour is free today, and I was hoping you would share it with me."
"I'd like that," you said with a soft smile, one thousand words carrying across those three.
For just this once in his life, Dire Crowley was going to be selfish.

whoops im the person who requested the dorm leaders with an s/o with portal magic and just saw the char limit of 3šŸ˜­ anyway can u do it with Malleus, Leona and Azul? thankss
will do, anon!
Tumblr media
The magic of portals. The magic to bend reality, to compress space into the shortest length possible. And to cross through that path from one place to another like it was nothing. Truly, a coveted power.
But do not be hasty with its usage. For usurpers and swindlers alike would like their hands laced around such a treasure, a priceless gem...
Tumblr media
Leona always wondered how you could appear anywhere, anytime. One moment he'd see you picking flowers in the botanical garden, then after literally a minute, he hears from Ruggie that you got into trouble at the dormsā€” again.
It took him a hot minute to understand how you were moving from place to place at essentially the speed of light.
"Portal magic, huh?"
"I see you've managed to piece it all together."
You expected him to use it for his own good, as a convenient treat for himself. But you've misjudged Leona yet again.
He was respectful and knew your boundaries. He didn't ask for you to open a few for his own benefit. Why would he do that if he could just walk by himself?
It's not too big of a hassle to walk. And he was sure that a magic like that would mean that you'd accumulate blot much faster than most.
He was caring, although it wasn't blatantly obvious. Occasionally, he'd send a few of his dormmates or Ruggie to come check up on you.
And ever so often, he'd tell you to watch your use of that power. Lest you fall into blot. Unlikely at first glance, Leona didn't want to wish that same experience on anyone. And he most certainly didn't want you ā€” his darling ā€” to suffer that same fate.
Tumblr media
A magic that could open portals? Fascinating indeed, moreso that it was his dear darling that beared this wonderful boon.
How cruel of you to keep it a secret. And from your beloved too, out of all people. He couldn't help but feel offended. But of course, his forgiveness was quite easy to avail.
"You magic would make transportation a lot more...sustainable. So if you don't mindā€”"
"Noā€”"
"ā€”But! I only require your services on Sundays! A good deal, no?"
You swiftly declined.
But Azul Ashengrotto wasn't one to give up so easily. From tiny gestures, to sweet dates and honeyed promises. He courted his way once again into you, like your first encounter with him.
From deliveries, to transportation. He could even charge a fare for it.
"Azul, see, this is why I didn't want you to know in the first place."
Oh. Oh.
He might've been a tad lost in his thoughts of business for a second. But, if that is what you desire you need not worry any further. He wasn't one to give up easily, but he was also a man who knew when to end a pursuit.
Tumblr media
As an heir to the Draconia throne, Malleus had seen many magics far and wide. Exotic and strange some, and a few that could rival his own.
But yours was strange, even for him.
Naturally, he wanted to explore more to this power. For this sort was rare, even for someone like himā€” who can exist longer than a nation's rise and fall.
Questions formed in his mind, and his curiosity grew. He wanted to experience your magic himself, maybe he can properly measure your power if he did so.
And you were eager to share it with him. Truth be told, Malleus was one of the people you trusted the most ā€” next to Grim, of course.
He's never found something he could properly use this word for, mostly because grand magical feats were almost elementary to him and his people. But now he knew. This experience, with you, was so magical, enchanting, wondrous.
He felt a surge and rush as he passed through the portal, he crossed through bended reality. What a feat.
The thirst to know doesn't end there. His actions were indeed worthy of berating, but he was a glutton for wisdom. Anything that could potentially help his future rule of Briar Valley was welcome, and he would endlessly pursue that knowledge with all his might.
After a daybreak to sundown's worth of time had elapsed, Malleus' hunger was sated ā€” for now ā€” he would stop with the queries and constant poking. Again, for now.
In the meantime, why not stop by Diasomnia? Lilia plans an exotic dish that hails from the Scalding Sands.

A/N: I wrote this in an hour, like right when I woke up? Anyways, I had this scenario in mind for a while already and the smut actually fits in sooo, here we are yeah
ā€¢F!Reader; Malleus;
ā€¢ć€”怀ļ¼ 怕 Smut; Grammatical errors
Tumblr media
"Ah my dear, was I too rough?" His apologetic tone made her glance at him.
There was a vast difference between you two. He was, but it was not surprising knowing his physical condition, in an almost perfect state. He was blushing, sure, as he was indulging into the most intimate moment he had ever experienced. But other than that and his tangled and messy hair, he was beyond perfect. Again, there were still other marks that showed how rough he had been, as in the beautiful red marks along his collar bone, the one she had placed in her delirious state, and the long blood filled lines on his back from when she had raked her nails against him. But he was still perfect.
As for herā€¦ She was trembling, enough that it was hard for her to cling over Malleus when he had asked about her condition worriedly and propped her up. God, how did he want her to answer when his dick was still so deep inside her? Her hair was the same state as him, and her eyes were unfocused as she tried to come back on earth and answer his question. He was rough. And it would be a lie to claim the opposite. Her skin was scratched due to his long nails, and her hips must've taken a purplish hue with how hard he had been gripping her, forgetting about his force due to the joy and pleasure he was experiencing. Unlike his marks, hers were vastly different. The size of it, of his mouth, he hadn't kissed her skin. Far from it. He had tried to devour her.
"Naā€” Hnn, nah-" Dear Seven knew how hard it was to answer! Her mouth was still soggy, pasty, and hard to control. He smiled at her answer. Of course he did. He kissed her, tongue entering without asking anymore and impossibly taking so much space in her mouth. He took her back with his hand, which she twitched at. Even her back had been ruined from when he had bitten her. He pushed her onto the soft silk of his bed and she tried to leave her arms closed around the back of his neck.
"Good." He hummed as he took in her appearance. He was lucky wasn't he? What were the chances of him meeting her? Of him becoming her friend? Of him having his first love reciprocating his feelings? Of him having a mate ready to take him whenever he was blessed with the sudden impulse to pump her full of his child? To think that he had ended up with someone soā€¦ "You're perfect my dear." A whine left her as he replaced himself correctly between her legs.
"Let me go one last time okay? I don't think I can manage it any longer." Her legs were brought to her head, or as far as they could, before he pumped inside abruptly. Oh. He could see how surprised she was. Her mouth hung open before she tried to block any noise coming out from her. Sadly, she was still too bashful about it allā€¦ But he knew how to help her with that.
His cock, hitting as deep as her cervix allowed him to, bullying her inside and making her full enough that she didn't want him to leave her ever again, the stretch at her entrance made her feelings tenfold. And when his pace suddenly spiked, she couldn't possibly try to keep those noises away from him any longer. Gasps, whines, heavy breathing, and sometimes a moan of his name, all were like a blessed melody to his ears. But why was he trying to push even deeper? He could hardly fit in! His sacks were barely grazing her with each of his thrusts.
His tongue went back to her breasts, toying with the buds that had taken a reddish hue with how hard he was pulling on them. "Malā€“ aah- Malleu- eusā€¦" She moved her hands to his horns, the one that so proudly stood on his head. A deep rumble was taken out of him and reverberated against her, making goosebumps on her skin and rippling her body with unbearable shudders. Even his pace stuttered and his manhood twitched against her flesh. But he quickly went back to aggressively pursuing those sounds of hers. Moreover with more conviction and force.
"I- I'm close my loveā€¦" He whispered kindly, which contrasted with his wild thrusts that were sure to bruise her inside with how rough he was being. She only let out a choked ā€™ā€™Malleusā€˜ā€˜ that made him mushy on the inside. He didn't deserve someone like herā€¦
And not before long, his pace stuttered again, and she felt the ropes and ropes of cum painting her inside. She was more than full. Even felt an ache in her stomach with how much he was filling her.
She opened her eyes to see him gazing where they were connected with childish stars in his eyes, seemingly fascinated by what he was seeing. And he was. How could he not when he saw the light distort of her stomach from both his cock and cum. He wasā€¦ beyond grateful to have met someone like her. He could pray to the stars night and day to make up for the effort they had taken for him to come close to her.
But he sadly pulled away not much time after. She whined as she felt him move. She was beyond exhausted. Had her climax so many times that she couldn't bear another one and was more than overstimulated. But when she felt him completely leaving her and the cum dripping down her hole, the tremblings were twice as hard but quickly stopped due to her exhaustion.
"I love you so muchā€¦" And before she could answer back, express through her daze how much he meant to her in this confusing world. The lighthouse he had become for her in this place, he peppered her lips with kisses. It effectively cut her off and made her forget about his words, yet the buzzing in her heart was still here. "I hope that we'll see each other soon enoughā€¦ Don't wait too long my Will-o'-wisp." His confusing words, the one that she couldn't properly think about as she was still trying to deal with the throbbing feelings at her folds, were punctuated by a kiss on her forehead.
A sudden tiredness came to her, but not the one she had felt after he had released inside her, no, this one was desperately coaxing her into a deep slumber. She tried to fight it back, but Malleus' hand caressed her cheeks while whispering sweet nothing into her ear. His other hand worked to make her look proper, softly lying her straight to allow her to be more comfortable.
"Know that you are the prettiest soul I've ever met." He kissed her one last time before moving her body around, dressing her with a deep black nightgown while she was trying to stay awake. As he saw her half-sleeping state, he smiled, a bittersweet one that made her nauseous. "Don't fight it back my dear Child of Man."
His words soothed her despite the peculiar situation she was going through. But if he said for her not to worry, then she would do so. Because he would never hurt her. And so, she closed her eyes, embracing Morpheus's arms, but not before seeing the thorns slowly growing and imprisoning her bedroom. Still, she was not panicking. Malleus was still with her, holding her hand and gently pressing on it with his own.
"Please. Do not wake up anytime soon and sleep well."

The Suitor to Suit Her
We didnā€™t get to see all of the boys attempt a proposal šŸ˜‚ so hereā€™s some quick dialogues I came up with, written in the style of a play script for the sake of simplicity; itā€™s sort of a ā€œwhat ifā€Ā each of the remaining guys, including the four in the final rescue squad, had a chance to woo the Ghost Bride.
I was able to make each proposal a little longer than the proposals shown to us in-game! It was really fun to write these, especially the side banter.
Please note: I do include Ortho in this, but he is NOT proposing. In Orthoā€™s scenario, he is volunteering to be the ring bearer or a flower boy so he can at sneak over and inform Idia of the plan and/or so Ortho can swap the ring out for the magical one to banish ghosts.
Another exception to the proposal prompt is Malleus. Since he canā€™t propose to some random ghost due to his own status as crown prince, his scenario is framed as something different.
Operation Propose, START!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Riddle: HOLD IT!!
Eliza, the Ghosts, and the ā€œguestsā€: !!
Eliza: Whatā€™s this?! A fresh new squadron of suitors?
Ace: Youā€™ve got that right!! If you think youā€™re gettinā€™ hitched, youā€™ve got another thing coming!
Ortho: Thatā€™s right! Hands off of Nii-san!
Idia: O-Ortho! You brought all the other normies...!
Eliza: Oh, there seems to be no end to you!
Ghost: Of course! Youā€™re the most desirable bachelorette there is, princess!!
Eliza: Tee hee! Oh, youā€™re flattering me!
Eliza, to the group: Very well. Letā€™s start with you, the one in the smart crimson suit that matches your hair.
Riddle, with a polite smile: Ah-HEM! Good evening, princess. I do hope Iā€™m not intruding on your time. Iā€™m thankful that Iā€™ve been granted this audience with you.
(Cater: Look, there it is! Riddle-kunā€™s surprisingly suave side!
Leona: Well, what do you know? It looks like the red young masterā€™s able to hold his own.
Deuce: E-Eh, Rosehearts-senpai is doing so much better than I didā€¦ How cool!
Ace: HAH? Whoā€™s a ā€˜refined gentlemanā€™, ā€˜surprisingly suaveā€™, and ā€˜coolā€™?! I donā€™t remember Riddle-ryocho ever being this nice to us! Definitely not to me!
Trey: Ahahahahā€¦ Well, Riddle did have manners drilled into him from a young age. Itā€™s not surprising that heā€™s caught the ghostā€™s attention.
Ace: You have GOT to be kidding me!)
Riddle, bowing to the Ghost Bride: I am Riddle Rosehearts, dorm leader of Heartslabyulā€“and I would be honored if you would permit me to court you.
Eliza: Refined as you are, the prince that I seek is at least 180 cm tall! Iā€™m afraid that you are a far cry from that.
Riddle, face tensing: Grrkā€¦!
(Everyone: !!
Idia: Y-Yikes, Riddle-shi looks like heā€™s about to go berserk mode!!)
Riddle, sighing and relaxing: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦Ā 
(Cater: Nice save! He came in clutch and managed to calm himself down!)
Riddle: I assure you that what I lack in height, I make up for with my talents and abilities. You may test me however you like. I am certain that I can provide the perfect response to any question.
(Ace: ā€¦ Huh? Is it just me, or is he treating this like itā€™s a written exam with a short answer section?
Trey: Er, I think thatā€™s exactly what heā€™s doing.)
Eliza: Very well, then tell me this: how do you plan to sweep me off my feet without that princely height I long for?
Riddle, smirking as he crosses his arms: Simple.
Riddle, a hand on his hip: Weā€™ll have afternoon tea beginning at 3 oā€™clock on the dot and concluding at 4. No sooner and no later than that. After that light luncheon, weā€™ll take a 30 minute stroll in a rose garden to let the tea and finger foods digest.
Riddle, waving a hand: From 4:30 pm to 7 pm, we will exchange colloquial conversation so we are able to learn of one another. Dinner will be at 7, and I will return you safely to your place of residence at 9 pm.
Eliza: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.
Riddle: ... Well? Have you reached your decision? Iā€™m in a hurry here. There is an important deadline that I must meetā€”
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Riddle: ?!
Eliza: You donā€™t have any sense for romance! Plans? Schedules? Routines? Love isnā€™t something so rigidly defined!!
Riddle: What?! Just how do you intend to get anything done if you don't...
Eliza: Surprise candlelit dinners! Spontaneous serenades by the moonlight! Getting so lost in my princeā€™s eyes that I lose track of time! These are the hallmarks of the ideal romance, and theyā€™re all lost on you!!
Riddle, face turning red: YEEEARGH!!! You seriously expect to marry a man youā€™ve just met to go along with all of that nonsense?! Have you lost your mind?!
Eliza: Iā€™ll not hear another word from you! Bring me the next suitor!
Tumblr media
Eliza: Next up is you with the heart.
Ace: You called?
Ace, smiling: Heh, I see you looking at me from across the way. I know Iā€™m hot stuff! You donā€™t need to be modest!
Eliza: Eh?!Ā 
Ace, winking: Hey. Donā€™t even bother looking at any other guys, cuz Iā€™m your manā€”and thatā€™s that!
(Jack, Floyd, Vil: ā€¦
Vil, offended: ā€¦ And just who does Potato #1 think he is, waltzing in with such swagger?
Riddle: That overwhelming cocksureness of his is rubbing me the wrong way.
Cater: Eeeh, it seems to be working though, doesnā€™t it? Ghostieā€™s got her eyes glued on Ace-chan!
Deuce: This somehow feelsā€¦ wrong to watch.
Trey: I donā€™t know whether that says more about the groom or more about the bride.
Idia: H-How can you people watch this without cringing so hard you reincarnate into another world?!)Ā 
Ace, smirking: How about it? Have I captured your heart with my wicked charm yet?
Eliza: Youā€™re so bold! So forward! Tell me, how did you temper that confidence?
Ace: Oh, you know! Iā€™ve got tricks up my sleeves.
Ace, looking smug: Unlike those guys, Iā€™m not forever alone. This isnā€™t my first rodeo, either! I actually know how to talk to girls AND Iā€™ve got mad game!
Ace: Youā€™d be crazy NOT to choose me!
(Everyone: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
Riddle, looking disappointed but not surprised: Fool.)
Ace: Huh? Whyā€™s everyone glaring at me? Donā€™t get mad just cuz Iā€™m spitting cold, hard facts!
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Ace: OW OW OW OW OWWWW!!
Ace: What was THAT for?!
Eliza: Shame on you! How dare you talk about other women in front of me!! The last I want to hear about is your EX!
Eliza: If youā€™re still lingering on her, then how can I expect you to be faithful to me?!
Ace: HAH?! I didnā€™t even SAY anything about my ex!!
Eliza: THERE! You just did!
Ace, wincing: Gackā€¦!
(Deuce, sighing: ā€¦ Shouldā€™ve known something like this would happen. When Ace runs his mouth for too long, troubleā€™s gonna brew.
Riddle, looking smug: Hmph. It serves him right!
Trey: Riddle, youā€™re looking a little too pleased there...)
Tumblr media
Eliza: Next! You, with the big ears and the lopsided smile.
Ruggie, mumbling to himself, ears flattened: Sheesh, I canā€™t believe I got called away from making bacon to make goo-goo eyes at a ghostā€¦ Oh well, whateverā€™s gonna net me that bonus for saving Leona-sanā€™s keister.
Ruggie: Hey, Iā€™m Ruggie! Ruggie Bucchi.
Eliza: Hmm? Did you say something before that?
Ruggie, grinning with his hands behind his head: Nah, donā€™t sweat it! ā€˜S nothing.
Eliza: What a winsome smile you have! Itā€™s a little rough around the edges, but it conveys a lot of heart.
Ruggie: Nishishishishi! Thanks. Youā€™ve got a good smile on yourself too!
Eliza, blushing as she cradles her cheeks: Oh my! Such a flatterer!
Ruggie: And your voice makes me want to break out into laughter! It just puts me in the mood to sing, like the sun lighting up the whole savanna.
Eliza: Oh, youā€¦!!
(Jack: Hoo, boyā€¦ Ruggie-senpaiā€™s really laying it on thick.
Leona: Hmph. Heā€™s just got a real knack for kissing up to people. Reminds me of a certain octopunk, actually.
Azul, with a passive-aggressive smile: Ah-hem, I can hear you loud and clear, Leona-san.
Leona, smirking: Oh, donā€™t worry. I know you can.
Idia: My lifeā€™s on the line here and youā€™re just going to sit around and make sarcastic quips?! This isnā€™t a high school anime romcom!!
Floyd and Jade: Hehehe/Fufufuā€¦)
Eliza: Wait, whatā€™s that sticking out of your pockets?
Ruggie: Huh? Oh, you mean these?
Ruggie, pulling out a bunch of dandelions: Thereā€™s tons of these things all over campus.
Eliza: To think that youā€™d go out of your way to prepare such a thoughtful gift for meā€¦ Yes, yes! Iā€™ll happily accept this bouquet!
Ruggie, looking mildly annoyed: Huh? Bouquet?
(Leona: Argh, here we go againā€¦
Jack: ?
Rook: Ah, could it be?!)
Ruggie, getting defensive: Youā€™ve got it all wrong. This ainā€™t a bouquet, and this ainā€™t yours. This is MY dinner.
Eliza: Itā€™sā€¦your dinner?
Ruggie: Yeah. Dandelions are basically free food, so I pickā€™m and cookā€™m tons of different ways.
Ruggie: I was working my tail off all afternoon hunting these down. If you want your own, thatā€™s on you. No way am I sharing MY food.
Ruggie: *MUNCHMUNCH*
(Jack: Ruggie-senpai just chowed down on all those dandelions!
Leona: *Sigh* His appetite knows no bounds.
Rook: Ahhh, Monsieur Dent-de-Lion consumes his meals with such fervor and gusto! Why, it looks as though he is savoring every last morsel of his supper!)
Ruggie, rubbing his belly: Phew! That sure hit the spoā€“
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Ruggie: BLEGH?!
Eliza: Unbelievable! Iā€™ve never seen such selfishness!! What kind of prince not only denies his princess of a present, but then proceeds to take that present for himself!? Reflect on your overindulgence!
Ruggie: Aw, manā€¦ I was doing so well, too.
Ruggie: I shouldā€™ve stuck withĀ ā€˜every hyena for himselfā€™!
Tumblr media
Eliza: Nextā€”
Kalim, bursting into the venue on a massive elephant (plus all the bells and whistles, a la Prince Ali style): SORRY Iā€™M LATE!!
(Everyone: ?!
Idia: Kalim-shi?!
Jamil, off to the side and looking disappointed but not surprised: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦)
Kalim, descending on the magic carpet and hopping off: I didnā€™t miss anything important, did I?
Eliza: Whoā€™s this sunny fellow in the gold earrings?
Kalim, smiling: Iā€™m Kalim! Nice to meetā€™cha!
Eliza: YOUā€™RE LATE! Itā€™s simply unacceptable to be running late for a meeting with your one true love! If you cannot be on time, how can I be certain that our love is true? Do you realize how many misunderstandings have occurred because of tardiness?!
Eliza: YOUā€™RE Oā€“
Kalim: Iā€™m sorry! Youā€™re upset with me. Itā€™s totally my bad.
(Everyone: !!)
Eliza: !!
Kalim, smiling: Meeting your special someoneā€™s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So I spent a long time getting readyā€¦ and I got so busy with that that I didnā€™t realize I was going to be late!!
Kalim: But I wanted to see you. I wanted to see you with all my heart, so I came as fast as I could!
Eliza: Oh my!
*Step, step*
Kalim, circling Eliza: I havenā€™t seen many ghosts before! Itā€™s so cool that you can fly all on your own! Iā€™m pretty much grounded without my magic carpet!
(Jade: Fufufu. Kalim-sanā€™s sincerity shines through each and every one of his words.
Jamil: ā€¦ Weā€™re doomed. Absolutely, positively doomed.)
Eliza, following Kalim with her eyes as he circles her: ā€¦
Eliza, looking serious: *Spin, spin* Kalim, smiling: *Spin, spin* Eliza, starting to smile too: *Spin, spin*
(Jamil and Idia: ?!
Jamil: I donā€™t believe it, Kalimā€™s redeemed himselfā€“and heā€™sā€¦
Epel: ā€¦ dancing with the ghost bride?!
Lilia: Kufufu, thatā€™s Kalim for you: charming in the most unpredictable of ways.
Cater: Go, Kalim, go! Slay that dance floor!
Ruggie: He couldā€™ve gotten her attention WAY after if he just showed off his fat wallet instead of his dance moves!!)
Kalim: Youā€™re a great dancer! So light on your feet, itā€™s like weā€™re floating!
Kalim: We donā€™t have to worry about stepping on each otherā€™s toes! Come to think of it, do ghosts even have feet to begin with?Ā 
Kalim, smiling: Gahahah! You could have two left feet and Iā€™d never know!
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Kalim: EEEEEH?!
Eliza: How rude!! My prince would never make such inconsiderate comments! He should be always cordial and sensitive to his princessā€™s feelings!! You sit there and repent for your careless words!
Kalim, surprised: Huh, did I say something wrong just now?!
{Jamil: The fact that you have no clue you said something wrong says it all!)
Tumblr media
Jamil, stepping up: Please excuse Kalim.
Jamil, under his breath: ... Heā€™s an idiot.
(Kalim, eyes sparkling: Jamil!! Youā€™re coming to save everyone?)
Eliza: And just who are you with the intricate hair?
Jamil, with a small smile: I believe youā€™re referring to me? Jamil Viper, your majesty. Iā€™m pleased to meet your acquaintance.
Jamil: I do not claim to possess nearly the same level of charm and talent that my peers doā€“but if you will have me, I would be happy to call you my own.
Jamil: If it appeals to you, I am quite skilled in matters of domestic work. Cooking, cleaning, and any kind of housework.
Jamil: Iā€™m also a professionally trained bodyguard and I have extensive knowledge of first aid. I will be able to look after you and protect you well into yourā€¦ golden years.
(Azul: My, itā€™s rare to see Jamil-san ā€˜let his hair downā€™ and be himself, as it were.
Idia: I-Is that really a good thing, I wonder...
Leona, scoffing: Real humble servant you got there, Kalim.
Kalim: Gahahah! Jamilā€™s just a modest kind of guy!
Floyd: Eeeeh, Sea Lion-senpai was totally just being sarcastic there.)
Eliza: What will you do to prove your love for me?
Jamil: Pardon?
Eliza: I said, ā€˜What will you do to prove your love for me?ā€™ Would you scale a tower? Slay a mighty dragon? How far does your drive go?
Jamil: I will do whatever is asked of me.
Jamil, to himself: ... even if I donā€™t particularly care to.
Jamil, crossing his arms: If you request for me to scale a tower, then I will. If you say to slay a dragon, then I have no choice but to do so. My drive only ends where yours does.
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Jamil, wide-eyed and annoyed-looking: What did I do wrong?! I was certain that Iā€™d gain the ghostā€™s favor if I went along with everything she asked of me!!
Eliza: Your devotion is extremely shallow!! Where is the emotion in your voice?! The enthusiasm?! Your eyes are deader than a ghostā€™s!! If youā€™re going to profess your love, DO IT WITH MORE CONVICTION!!
Eliza: How can you expect to win a princessā€™s heart with a deadpan expression like that and little meaning behind your words?! I can see right through your deception!!
(Kalim: Aww, you were really close, Jamil! If it makes you feel any better, I thought you looked really cool saying all that stuff!
Azul, smirking: Indeed! I very much enjoyed your heartfelt performance, Jamil-san.)
Jamil: Youā€™re the LAST people I want to hear from!!
Tumblr media
Rook: Bonjour, des fantƓmes!
Eliza and Ghosts: ?!
Eliza: Dear me, the one in the bob cut speaks in a tongue I have never heard before. What language might that be?
Rook, smiling: But of course, it is the language ofā€¦
Rook: LOVE!Ā 
*insert explosion of sparkles here*
Rook: I, le Chasseur dā€™Amour, have been searching far and wide for the one to call my own, my beloved. I have chanced a perilous journey through blistering cold and scorching deserts, risking life and limb to find my other other half.
Rook: And now! Now, I have discovered you at long last! Oh, be still, my pounding heart!!
(Leona: Tch. You Pomefiore lot are all shine and no substance.
Vil: Ex-CUSE you? Take that back this instant, Leona. I wonā€™t have you insulting me or my dorm when yours could use a good polish.
Leona: Fat chance.
Jack: ā€¦ Is now really the time to be arguing about this?)
Rook, dropping to one knee and looking at Eliza tenderly: Mon amour, mon trĆ©sor. From the time I first laid my eyes on youā€¦ youā€™ve captured this huntsmanā€™s heart!
Rook: Skin and lips the color of sapphire, supple lips pleading for a kiss, eyes that light up the night skyā€¦ Youā€™re truly a vision in your white gown, a beauty to all that behold you!
Rook: For this life, and for every lifetime and every afterlifetime that comes, you shall always hold a ghostly grip over my heart! I will be eternally devoted to you, were you to embrace me as your groom.
Eliza: Ahā€¦!! How romantic!
(Deuce: HUNT-SENPAI IS HAMMING IT UP!!?
Trey: Yup, Iā€™m not surprised. Thatā€™s pretty much how he always is.
Deuce: H-Hunt-senpaiā€™s power level is seriously amazingā€¦
Idia: ITā€™S SERIOUSLY GONNA MAKE ME HURL FROM HOW AMAZINGLY CRINGE IT IS.)
Rook, to Deuce: Ohlala~ Monsieur Spade, your compliment has set my heart aflutter! Such surprise, delivered with such earnestā€¦ Oui, your naivete carries your unique brand of charm!
Rook, to Idia: Roi de Ta Chambre. Your intense emotion moves me! Quiet as you typically are, when you call out... oui, the mountains tremble! The world shifts in accordance with your cries. The fear that coats your melancholy voice... it is as though a God of Death has appeared before me, eager to stake a claim upon my soul.
(Deuce: Uh, thanksā€¦? I think.
Idia: A-Are you NUTS?! Youā€™ve seriously gotta be!!)
Eliza: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.
Rook: Mon amour, what is distressing you?
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Rook: !!
Eliza: How cruel can you be?! Letting your eyes wander, and when Iā€™m RIGHT in front of you?! And even flirting with my own groom... Iā€™ll bet that you spout those sweet words to everyone you meet!
Eliza: Youā€™re not a prince! Youā€™re nothing more than a cad, a conman, a playboy!! Get out of my sight! I wonā€™t have you playing with my feelings!!
Rook: Fufu. It appears that Iā€™ve been dealt a swift and harsh rejection!
(Vil, looking annoyed: And yet youā€™re still smiling without a care in the world...)
Tumblr media
Eliza: You with the cute face and large doe eyes! Youā€™re next.
Epel: ā€¦ Nngh!
Epel, to himself: Calm, Epel. CALM. Donā€™t lose yer cool oā€™er the first thing! Ya gotta woo this chick and show Vil just how cool ā€˜n strong ya really are!!
Epel, smiling and with a hand to his mouth: Eheh. Itā€™s nice to meet you. Iā€™m Epel Felmier. I hope I canā€¦ have the chance to be your prince.
Eliza: Appled cheeks, with a blush like apple blossoms and a sweet complexionā€¦ You are befitting of your name!
Epel, looking disgusted: *Cringes*
(Deuce: Epelā€™s soul looks like its left his bodyā€¦
Ruggie: Whereā€™d he even learn this kinda stuff from?
Vil, glaring: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.
Rook, looking proud: Fufu. Monsieur Crab Apple has come a long way.)
Epel, forcing a smile: Thank you, princess. Your kind words humble me.
Epel, to himself: So far, so goodā€¦
Eliza: Winsome looks and a polite demeanorā€¦ I shall be gracious and overlook your petite stature.
Epel, awkwardly smiling but obviously mad deep down: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.
Eliza: But how would you protect me if some dastardly villain were to kidnap me? You appear to be smaller and more fragile than even I.
Epel: !!
Epel: HOLD UP, DID YA JUSā€™ CALL ME WEAK?!
(Idia, groaning: Aaaaaand there goes any shot at victory.)
Epel, angry: Heh. Yaā€™d all be eassy pickins!! Ahā€™ll beat the crap outta ya ā€˜n show ya what for!! Ainā€™t no way yaā€™d stand a chance against ME!!
Epel: Iā€™ll take ya AND yer whole ghost army on!!Ā 
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Epel: CONSARN ITTTT!!
Eliza: A prince would never speak in such an unrefined tone!! Your words blend together, and I canā€™t understand a lick of what youā€™re saying!!
Eliza: My prince must be able to clearly communicate his undying love and passion to me!
Eliza: And not only that! No prince would lose his temper at his princess! A prince is cool and mild-mannered at all times!!
Epel: Yer off yee rocker if ya think fancy talk ā€˜n temper got anythinā€™ ta do with it!!!Ā 
Eliza: Silence! You are no more than a petulant child playing pretend.
Epel: NOT LIKE AH WANNA BE YER APPLE PICKINā€™ PRINCE ANYWAYS!
(Vil: Goodness. I held my tongue knowing that chatter from the peanut gallery would throw Epelā€™s concentration offā€”but here you are, having lost your composure all on your own.
Vil, glaring: What were you thinking, challenging the bride and the entire army behind her?
Rook: Ohoh! It was an honest effort from Epel-kun! BeautƩ! 100 points!!)
Epel: DANGNABBIT!!! So close and yet so farā€¦
Tumblr media
Ortho: Excuse me, Ghost Bride-san!!
(Idia, shocked: ORTHO?!)
Eliza:Ā  What is it now? Havenā€™t I already seen enough fake princes for 5 lifetimes over?
Eliza: Hmm? Oh, youā€¦ You look like my dear Idia-sama!
Ortho: Hehe. Itā€™s only natural, since Iā€™m Nii-sanā€™s little brother!
Eliza: Little brother?! Idia-sama mentioned nothing of the sort to me!
(Trey: Er, that would probably be because he was too busy cowering in fear to bring it up.
Idia: Bingo...)
Eliza: Butā€¦ you share too many features with my prince for it to just be mere coincidence. The luminous skin, the lustrous hair, the charming smile. Yes, I suppose you must be Idia-samaā€™s relative after all!
Ortho: Affirmative.
Eliza: So? What is it that you need?
Ortho: Requesting to participate in the wedding festivities!
(Idia: HUUUUUUH?!
Idia: O-Ortho, whatā€™s with this insubordination, going to aid the enemy?! Th-This moment would for sure make its way up into a top 10 anime betrayals list!!
Ace: Ah, shuddap! Weā€™ll explain everything to you later!!)
Eliza, giggling: You wish to join in the ceremony? As Idia-samaā€™s bride-to-be, I will allow it. It wouldnā€™t do to leave my dearest bridegroomā€™s little brother out of our matrimonial celebration.
(Everyone: She accepted it so easily?!
Vil: Iā€™mā€¦ feeling faint.
Sebek: IMPOSSIBLE! HOW COULD A CHILD SUCCEED WHERE LILIA-SAMAā€™S CUTENESS COULD NOT?! THIS IS A TRAVESTY! A TRAVESTY, I TELL YOU!!
Lilia: Kufufu. Perhaps we should have sent in young Ortho from the getgo.)
Eliza: I think youā€™ll make for a very cute flower boy.
Ortho: !!
Ortho, with a sly, smug expression: Iā€™d actually like to be the ringbearer. That way, I can hand off a very important item to my big brother.
Eliza: You already know what you want to be when you grow up! Youā€™re a proactive little one.
Ortho: All I want is for Nii-san to be safe and happy.
Eliza: Awww! Iā€™ll see to it that you have a proper place in the wedding.
Ghost: Princess, it might be a tight squeeze to make a last minute alterationā€¦
Ortho: I can immediately run the necessary calculations to determine the most efficient way to incorporate an unanticipated guest into the logistics of this event. All I need to do is scan the venue and account for the wedding elements in my algorithms.
Eliza: What? I donā€™t understand anything that youā€™re saying.
Ortho: Hehe. You donā€™t need to! Nii-san says itā€™s a kind of ā€˜magicā€™ only Iā€™m capable of. Heā€™s amazing, right? He built this cool body of mine all by himself!
(Idia: Ortho...)
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Ortho: Uwah!!
(Everyone: ?!
Cater: Bride-chanā€™s not holding back!?
Trey: Such a quick change of heart too?!
Jade, sighing: Oya, how terribly cruel.
Floyd: Ehhhhh, Ghostie herselfā€™s recoiling from hitting metal.
Idia: Ortho!! A-Are you okay?!)
Ortho: !!
Ortho: My circuits are locking up!! My commands to execute movement arenā€™t going through!
(Epel: So robots are affected by her touch?
Idia: Whyā€™s this ghost so OP?)
Eliza: After 500 years of waiting... Today is meant to be MY special day! Mine and Idia-samaā€™sā€¦!!
Eliza: I donā€™t want to compete with a relative for the spotlight, nor for Idia-samaā€™s love and attention!
(Idia: YOU NEVER HAD IT TO BEGIN WITH.)
Eliza, to Ortho: Youā€™ll sit with the rest of them as our guests! I wonā€™t have you anywhere near the altar!!
Ortho: No wayā€¦ Mission failed?!
(Idia: N-Not even Ortho could stop this crazy woman... I-Iā€™m doomed!! DOOMED, I TELL YOU!!)
Tumblr media
*BAM!* (Doors to the wedding venue fly open on their own, and all the lights are snuffed out, then reignited with green flames.)
(Lilia and Sebek: !!
Idia: What? Whatā€™s this feeling? Why do I feel like there should be final boss music here?
Lilia: This magic isā€¦
Sebek: OOOOOH! HEā€™S COME!
Sebek, to the others: DROP TO YOUR KNEES AND PROSTRATE YOURSELF BEFORE HIS GREATNESS!!
Leona, angrily: In your dreams and over MY dead body.
Ace, to Sebek: We couldnā€™t kneel even if we wanted to!)
Malleus, appearing in a flash of yellow-green lights (Silver is close behind): Well now, quite a glittering assemblage we have here.
Malleus, looking at the other failed grooms: Royalty, nobility, the gentryā€¦ how quaint. Even the rabble.
(Everyone except Lilia and Sebek: Grrrā€¦
Lilia: Malleus, whatever are you doing here?)
Malleus: You could say I was ā€˜in the neighborhoodā€™. Passing by, as it were. It occurred to me that I should make a stop to grant Shroud and his bride-to-be my blessing as his peer.
Silver: My apologies, Faā€¦ Lilia-sama. I tried to stop him, butā€¦
(Lilia: Kufufu. No apologies needed. This is shaping up to be quite the spectacle.)
Eliza: I donā€™t believe this! Yet another wave of intruders seeking my hand?
Malleus: What strange ideas you have. I had no such intentions.
Silver, putting out an arm to stop his prince from stepping up: Please leave this to me, Malleus-sama.
(Lilia: Ohoh, so it all comes down to this.
Sebek: GO GET THAT GHOST, SILVER! YOU MUST AVENGE LILIA-SAMA!!
Kalim: Oooh, are we cheering Silver on? Lemme help out!
Jamil: By the Seven, PLEASE donā€™t.
Azul, smiling: Kalim-sanā€™s enthusiasm is something to behold!)
Malleus: ā€¦ Very well. I entrust you to act on my behalf, Silver.
Silver, sighing: ā€¦
Eliza: I donā€™t have time to keep entertaining any more of these preposterous proposals! Please vacate the premises at once, or I will have no choice but toā€¦
Silver: Please wait. I donā€™t want to fight you any more than you do. All I ask is that you remain open to peaceful negotiations.
Eliza: !!
Eliza: You have mesmerizing eyes. Theyā€™re like an aurora borealis!
Silver: My eyesā€¦?Ā 
Bird on his shoulder: *Chirp, chirp*
Silver, to the bird: Iā€™m sorry, not now. This is important.
Eliza: ā€¦ Speak, then. What makes you think you have anything worth offering when all the others before you have failed? Theyā€™ve only proved that Idia-sama is the only one in this world for me!
Silver, to Eliza: If it is a groom you seek, then I volunteer as tribute.
Silver: Truthfully, I donā€™t know whether I meet your standards, or how I compare to Idia-senpai, butā€¦ I know in my heart of hearts that I must do whatever it takes to defend to protect those who are not able to protect themselves.
Eliza: !!
Silver: If you must fight, I will be your sword. If you are in danger, I will run to you and be your shield.
Silver: If you were to choose me, I would ensure that you remain safe. I swear it on my life, and on my honor as a knight.
Silver: You have my word.
(Jade: My, Silver-san is honest to a fault.
Sebek, smugly: Of course he is!! Silver can charm the pants off of a snake!!
Lilia: Thatā€™s my boy~
Epel: Th-The ghost bride looks entrancedā€¦ Is she seriously rethinking her decision?!)
Silver: ā€¦
Eliza: ā€¦
Silver: ā€¦ Zzzā€¦
(Lilia: Oh dear. What inopportune timing.
Jack: Oi, oiā€¦ This isnā€™t the time to be falling asleep!!
Floyd: Iā€™m way more surprised that heā€™s able to sleep so soundly standing.
Idia: Iā€™M ABOUT TO DIE, AND YOUā€™RE JUST GONNA SNOOZE?! Do any of you people have your priorities straight?!)
Eliza: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Silver, snapping wide awake: ?!
His bird: *Nervous tweet as it flies away*
(Everyone: ?!)
Eliza: Never in my lifeā€¦ have I seen someone more princess-like than me!!
Eliza: Beauty, grace, and a noble heartā€¦ and even cute animal companions to boot!! Youā€™re the dictionary definition of a fairy tale princess!! So much so that it hurts!!
Eliza: It hurts even more to watch you sleep!! You SLEEP prettier than me!!
(Everyone: HUUUUUH?!
Ace: What kind of a reason is THAT?!
Trey: She was so close to getting the pointā€¦ before veering off to the completely wrong conclusion.)
Eliza: A sleeping prince and an alert princessā€¦ Itā€™s all wrong!!
Eliza: It should be the prince that kisses the princess awake from her cursed slumber, not the other way around!! I wonā€™t accept this kind of a role reversal!
(Riddle: In other words, sheā€™s jealous.
Vil, sighing: Set to a certain script, it seems.)
Silver, to Diasomnia: I apologize for failing you, Malleus-sama. Lilia-sama. Sebek.
(Sebek: HOW?! How could a single ghost have bested us?! Weā€™ve failed the young master...!!
Lilia: Itā€™s quite alright. You tried your best, Silver, Sebek. We all did.)
Eliza: ENOUGH!! Iā€™ve had enough of this charade. This nonsense of entertaining proposals ends here.
Eliza, giggling: Tonight, Iā€™m going to be married to my one true love with you, my captive audience, as our witnesses!!
Ghosts: Idia-sama is almost ready to walk down the aisle with you, princess! Just a little longer until your fated happily ever after.
Eliza: Ooh, this is so exciting!!
Malleus: That is enough.
Tumblr media
Ghost Bride: !!
Ghost Bride: This daunting, overwhelming presenceā€¦ Just who are you, horned one?
Malleus, laughing a little: Oh dear, what an awkward situation. You must forgive me. Iā€™m still feeling quite distressed at having not received an invitation to this momentous occasion.
Malleus: And quite miffed that you would so swiftly take out my retainers.
Malleus, raising a hand: Malleus Draconia. Crown prince to the Briar Valley. Charmed, Iā€™m sure.
(Leona, annoyed: Oh, great. JUST what we needed, the lizard.
Sebek: QUIET, YOU CUR! You have no right to speak to Malleus-sama that way! Youā€™re nothing more than a kitten paralyzed in fear before his magnanimous aura!!)
Malleus, to Sebek: Sebek.
(Sebek: YESSIR!)
Malleus: I believe Iā€™ve already had this discussion with you on multiple occasions.
Malleus, smirking: See to it that you treat theā€¦ dignitaries of other countries with proper respect. Do not make me repeat myself again.
(Leona: Grrrrā€¦
Sebek, looking crestfallen and conflicted, to Malleus: A-As you wish, young masterā€¦!!
Ace: Whoa, your lameness is so off the charts nowā€¦)
Eliza: !!
Eliza: My!! This is how a real prince SHOULD be!
(Everyone, including Malleus: ?!)
Eliza: Over 180 cm! An air of nonchalance! Luminous skin! Lidded eyes! A charming smile! Long lustrous hair! Lips that long for a kiss! Grace and poise beyond compare! Mindful and diplomatic, with a mysterious air about him!
Eliza: A real, genuine blue blood!
(Ace: Is it just me, or did she tack on MORE items to her list just now?!
Jade: It seems our Ghost Brideā€™s feelings may be just as fickle as yours, Floyd.
Floyd: Ehhhh, donā€™t compare me to her. It feels gross.)
Eliza, dramatically, with a hand to her head: A tall, dark, and handsome stranger disrupting the holy matrimony of my fated prince and I...
(Idia: D-Did that do it? Did Malleus-shi manage to win her over with the power ofĀ ā€˜the mysterious princeā€™ archetype?!)
Eliza: Oh, the sorrow of being ensnared by love on both sides! My beloved Idia-sama, faced with a sudden love rival! This isā€¦ THE FABLED ā€œLOVE TRIANGLEā€!!
Eliza: Oooh, having two suitors engage in combat for the right to a princessā€™s hand in marriage...!! Itā€™s so romantic!
*Swoons*
(Everyone: WHAAAAAAT?!
Idia: S-Somehow the situation got even WORSE?!
Ortho: This is a scene straight out of one of Nii-sanā€™s shoujo manga!!
Ortho: ā€¦ But!! I have no doubt that he can overpower Malleus Draconia-san and claim victory!
Idia: P-Please! Iā€™ve already been through enough today, I donā€™t need to be getting involved in any fights on top of that!!
Sebek: YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU SPEAK OF!! THE YOUNG MASTER COULD EASILY FLATTEN ANY FOE LIKE THE INSIGNIFICANT WORM THAT THEY ARE!
Jack: I donā€™t think the identity of the winner is the issue...)
Malleus, confused: ā€¦ I beg your pardon?
Malleus: You are mistaken. I never came with the intention of proposing to a phantom.
Malleus, sarcastically: I would appreciate it if you did not assign arbitrary labels to me. I have only come to witness what I am sure will be the happiest of unions. Iā€™m no home wrecker.
Malleus: In any case, did I hear correctly that you are a princess?
Eliza: ā€¦
(Deuce, wincing: Here it comesā€¦! Please watch out, Draconia-senpai!
Idia: Itā€™s the blue screen of death for me...)
Eliza: ā€¦ Yes. I am a princess.
(Everyone: ?!)
Eliza: 500 years ago, my nation was attacked by a hostile neighbor. In my attempt to flee, I wasā€¦
Malleus: ā€¦ I see. Yours is a story that ends in tragedy.
Eliza: I was never able to meet my one true love before passing. You understand as fellow nobility, donā€™t you? Isnā€™t that sad? Donā€™t Iā€¦ Donā€™t I deserve happiness?
Malleus: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ No, I disagree.
Eliza: !!
Malleus: The world does not owe anyone a happily ever after. Not you, nor I.
Malleus: Cruel as it is, it is the way of the world.
Malleus: And moreoverā€¦ you are the sovereign of your country. It goes without saying that nobility must place the needs of the many over the wants and the feelings of one.
Malleus: Your duty is to your people and to your country, not to your heart.
Malleus, glancing around at the ghosts: A number of your attendants are with you. Have you given a thought as to how they may feel? What they may think?
Ghosts: Th-Thatā€™s not true! We... We just want our princess to be happy.
Ghosts: All this time, she smiled at us and told usĀ ā€œitā€™s fineā€, when she was suffering deep down. Our lonely, tragic princess...
(Ace: AH GEEZ, HOW ENTITLED CAN YOU GET?!
Everyone: !!
Deuce: Oi, Ace! Are you looking for more trouble?!
Ace: What, youā€™re just gonna sit around and do nothing? Your mouths still work, donā€™t they? How about you actually DO something with them?
Ace: Listen up, lady! The perfect prince?Ā He doesnā€™t exist!! And if you think he is, youā€™re only deluding yourself!!)
Eliza: !!
Malleus, to himself: Ohoh. That Trappola... Fufufu, quite the mouth on him.
Malleus, laughing: I came seeking a happy ceremony. Instead, I find shadows of the past, clinging on to desperate hopes and unfulfilled dreams.
Malleus, smirking: And a princess so vain as to put her own desires above those of her people, her guests, and even her bridegroom.
Malleus: Galivanting about, so blindly in pursuit of love that they cannot stop to think of how they are inconveniencing those around her.
Malleus: A sham wedding such as this is not worthy of receiving my blessing.
Eliza, looking sad: ā€¦
(Silver: Malleus-samaā€¦
Sebek: Young masterā€¦!!
Lilia: Malleusā€¦
Lilia, to himself: ā€¦ Youā€™re speaking from your own heart, hmm?)
Puffy Ghost: Thatā€™s enough!! Youā€¦ How dare you barge in and begin lecturing the princess like this!
Puffy Ghost: You could never understand a maidenā€™s heart! You could never understand her!
*SMACK*
Puffy Ghost: !!
(Everyone: !!
Sebek: Sheā€¦ She justā€¦ slapped the young masterā€¦
Sebek: REJECTING LILIA-SAMA, SILVER, AND THEN MALLEUS-SAMA?! THIS ILL-TEMPERED BRIDE HAS TRASH TASTE IN MEN!
Leona: Oi, quit your shouting!! Youā€™re going to blow out my ears!!
Vil: I hate to say this, but I agree with Leona.
Lilia, to himself: Malleus could have easily avoided that blow, but...)
*BOOM!* (Outside, lightning strikes.)
Malleus: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
Malleus, calm but cold: ā€¦ Did that do anything to fill the hole in your heart?
Eliza: ā€¦
Eliza, to her attendants: Please take him away and seat him among the other guests--Idia-sama and I will proceed with the ceremony as planned!
Ghosts: Yes, princess!! (The Ghosts rush off for final preparations)
Malleus: To think that this is how I would be invited to an event... Hmph. How rude.
Eliza: Iā€™ll show youā€¦! Iā€™ll show you the happiest of endings!!
Puffy Ghost, looking sad: ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..
Eliza, to Idia: Idia-sama! Please donā€™t be shy! Thereā€™s no need for you to keep dodging my kisses. Letā€™s prove our love to all of these fake princes!
Eliza: Midnight and our happily ever after... theyā€™re just a single peck away!
(Idia, looking defeated: ... Womp womp womp. Looks like itā€™s game over for me, no resets or extra lives or save scumming. Good-bye, cruel world. I leave my anime merch and manga collection to Ortho.
Ortho, distressed: Nooo, Nii-san!!
Ace, to the Ghosts: Hey, are you guys seriously gonna just move forward with this? Youā€™re...
Ace: ...
Ace: ...?
Ace: Huh? I can move again? When did that happen...?
Malleus, quietly, as the ghosts cart him past Ace: ... Iā€™ll entrust the course of this story to you, Trappola. Show me the truest of happy endings.
Ace: !!
Lilia, off to the side and to himself: ... My, so a youngster from Heartslabyul has beenĀ ā€œblessedā€.
Ace, grabbing his bouquet from the ground and smirking: Heh, looks like youā€™ve made a good choice~ I wonā€™t let you down.
[From here, just picture Ace confronting Eliza again, Puffy buffing up, and basically the rest of the event playing out the same as it did in canon (maybe with some extra dialogue from the additional students, and Riddle/Epel/Rook still being frozen instead of mobile).]
Ā ***BONUS***
Tumblr media
Grim: Step aside, ya chumps! The great Grim-samaā€™s here to woo the lady ghost!
(Everyone: ?!
Idia: Grim-shi?!)
Eliza: Whoā€™s thisā€¦ sassy lost tanuki?
Grim: Iā€™M NOT A TANUKI!
Grim: Iā€™m the great Grim-sama! Remember that name, cuz Iā€™m gonna be the strongest magician in the world someday!! Iā€™m gonna go down in the annals of magic history!
Grim: Check THIS out! *FWOOSH* (Grim breathes a plume of fire, just narrowly missing Ace and Deuceā€™s heads)
(Ace, angry: OI, WATCH IT!! I almost got roasted!
Deuce, sighing: I saw my life flash before my eyes for a secondā€¦)
Grim, crossing his arms: Howā€™s that? Pretty impressive, huh?
Eliza: Be that as it may, I canā€™t marry a tanuki! My prince must be a humanā€“or at the very least, something resembling a human!
Grim: What?! Iā€™m WAY better than those saps! And how do ya know that I wonā€™t turn into a handsome human when ya kiss me at the altar, huh?!
(Idia: E-Eh? But cats are just objectively better creatures overall than humans of any kind...)
Eliza: No chance, no way! Iā€™d rather kiss a mucus-covered frog than a furry beast!
Grim, angry: Lady, you donā€™t know what youā€™re missing out on! The great Grim has more charisma in ONE paw than these sorry excuses forĀ ā€˜princesā€™ have in their entire bodies!
Eliza: YOUā€™RE OUT.
*SMACK*
Grim: FNGHNYA!? THAT SLAP SMARTS!!
Eliza: A tanuki that talks back to its princess has no place being a prince! At best, you can be a cute talking animal companion or sidekick! I would invite you to come back when Idia-sama and I are seeking a pet, but weā€™re more of dog people than cat people!
(Idia: Th-Thatā€™s a lie!! Cats are obviously superior!!
Idia: ... Though she hasnā€™t been listening to a thing Iā€™ve been saying all night anyway...)
Grim: YOUā€™VE GOTTA BE JOKING!!
(Ace: BAHAHAHAH! She got you good, Grim! Serves you right for almost boiling us alive.
Deuce: Oof, I guess the more, the merrierā€¦)
