tell me you love me! ☆
how they confess to you.
gn!reader, you/your, romantic
characters; floyd leech, leona kingscholar, rook hunt
warnings; no major ones, heavily implied mutual feelings between you both, reader lives in ramshackle for rook’s part but is not stated whether to be yuu or not
notes; slowly trying to expand who i write for… also i want a simple writing format layout and not a billion trillion headers so here we go ig 😿 on the other hand YAY MOTIVATION!! 
Tumblr media
☆ FLOYD makes sure you hear him loud and clear.
ehh? confess? hasn’t he been clear enough already? or are you just dense?
azul tells him that to be officially dating, floyd needs to ACTUALLY (and properly) confess. however, floyd doesn’t see the need. have his little gifts of trinkets, random items and heavy affection not won you over already? still, he’ll make sure to confess properly if that’s what’s needed.
and so, floyd searches for all over until he finds you. resisting the urge to tackle you in a lovingly-death grip, he explains how he likes you, more than friends! and that you should like him back too!
as you accept his confession of love, you find that floyd has impulsively tackled you with a passionate squeeze. 
Tumblr media
☆ LEONA meets you in person.
it’s a bit awkward for him, but it’s the easiest way to convey feelings.
he could have done it over text, but he thinks that it’s too low effort to show how he really likes you. writing letters takes too much time, especially when his mind wanders off while thinking of what he could possibly put on the paper with his pen.
so, meet leona by the botanical gardens at a specific time and he’ll (embarrassingly but) gladly pour his heart out for you to hear.
Tumblr media
☆ ROOK goes all out.
why do you think he’s a self-proclaimed, ‘chasseur d’amour’? ah, my mistake. he’s LE chasseur d’amour. emphasis on THE hunter of love? i think my point has gotten across by now.
absolutely prepares the best confession yet. nothing too heavy so that if he gets rejected it all goes to waste, but he puts enough effort to be able to subtly hook you.
it’s no surprise when a bouquet of flowers with a wax-sealed letter placed neatly within it meets its way to the ramshackle doorstep, now is it? but the letter is anonymous, telling you to meet the person at a specific place.
now here comes the final part. when you arrive at your location, rook let’s his feelings to you spill out his chest. he makes sure to add french midway to his sentences per usual, and spouts out poetic words only he would be able to put together.
rook could never admit it, he says that you’ve put him in a position where he is deeply head over heels. you’ve trapped him. he’s deeply in love with you.
and yet he does admit it, but only for him and yourself to hear.

Cross posted from the R. Rook Studio blog.
Tumblr media
So over the course of July, I’ve gotten material from me (yay!), Noora Rose, and Bendi Barrett, and forwarded all of that over to Jared Sinclair, the official editor of Roseville Beach (and really, all of Rose Island). I don’t brag much about my own skills, but I get to work with some of the most thoughtful and skilled people in tabletop RPGs. Jared wrapped up his developmental comments on this first round of documents late last week, so we’re ready to start making some previews.
Dim All the Lights (Announcement List | Kickstarter Pre-launch) is coming together, and to celebrate, we’re making some early-release zines!
Dim All the Lights 1: New Characters on Roseville Beach
While I call Dim All the Lights a “Mystery Book,” it includes new tools and toys for players as well as GMs. The first of these is a set of origin stories:
The Veteran has spent most of their adult life hunting monsters and studying the occult in the employ of the wealthy and powerful. Now you’ve come here to Roseville Beach to use your skills to keep a community safe. You’ve forgotten more than most people will ever know. Each session, you choose a background and during the session pick three skills you want to use as you need them. You also have a Go Bag from which you can make your own new Supply Checks for equipment others wouldn’t thave access to.
The Changeling was once a normal kid in the terrestrial world but were taken away to another. You’ve since grown up and returned, only to discover someone else has been living your life. Your time among non-humans has give you a deep understanding of what others are thinking and taught you a few supernatural tricks (that are more routine but easier than working magic with sorcery and words of power).
The Rose Island Regular has a job like everyone else, but they’ve had more Rose Island jobs than almost anyone else. Instead of a separate set of skills and backgrounds, the Regular takes a current job and two former jobs. They’ve also got a reputation around town, and know a lot of Roseville Beach gossip.
The Mainland Renegade came out to Roseville Beach for a short getaway. It was supposed to be a few days. And then you stayed. The Renegade is a slightly more mature version of The Fresh Face from the core book, and was inspired by Mary Ann Singleton from Maupin’s Tales of the City.
The book also includes a few more jobs around Roseville Beach (like fire fighter, drag king/queen, and bookstore clerk) and Rose Island (like an admin for the park department), and the option of being self-employed as a band member, writer, swim coach, or repairperson.
Dim All the Lights 2: Entities of Roseville Beach
Inspired by The X Files, SCP, and The Magus Archives, Noora Rose wrote five new “Entities of Roseville Beach.” Moonlight on Roseville Beach doesn’t have opponent, antagonist, creature, NPC, or monster stats: If you can figure out how to hurt something, it has up to 3 hit points. Instead, Noora took things in a new direction and focused instead on the entity’s victims and the evidence they leave behind.
Noora, who wrote the strange events generator of Moonlight on Roseville Beach, where ever die roll is a small, eerie fragment of a horrifying story, tackled this section, and I spoke after reading an early draft of her work back in June, but now Noora’s expanded the section, adding more detail and some GM notes.
Instead of focusing on the entities, Noora focuses on their victims, looking at what witnesses saw and what the victims recorded in their own journals and logs. Her work not only introduces the entities but creates clues and player handouts. I’ve mocked up a couple of layouts here.
Tumblr media
Here, Dr. Jo Norris is logging her observations on a mysterious sea slug that she’ll soon learn can take the form of anything it’s near.
Tumblr media
Here, we take a look at the diary of Nicole Wolf, a young woman who went missing after starting to date a singer named whose waterlogged diary was found at the beach.
Noora also added a bunch of GM notes on using the entities, and I've created a short mystery generator using the entities in Roseville Beach.

— in love with you —
Tumblr media
Synopsis: things they do/ things that happen when they’re crushing on you <3
Warnings: not proofread
Game/ fandom: twisted wonderland
Characters: Sebek, Floyd, silver, rook, and Jack
Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned
A/n: tried out a different sort of layout for this one, hope you enjoy, and have a great rest of your day/ evening! <333333
Tumblr media
— Sebek —
Sebek will lower his voice when speaking to you, only being as gentle as can be with you around. He’ll give you his notes if you missed class, but only if it’s for a good reason! He writes you letters but doesn’t dare send most of them, as he thinks they’re too sappy. Sebek will take care of you when you’re sick, because while he is very very devoted to malleus, a little visit to your dorm won’t hurt… he’s just bringing you some soup after all. Sebek finds many human things to be utterly pointless, but… despite that, he’ll listen to you as you talk about your favorite book, game, movie, show, whatever. Becoming flustered at everything you do. Taking you horseback riding and regretting it instantly, because the way your holding onto him so tightly, yet gently is making his heart to backflips.
— Floyd —
Often times you’ll find a drink waiting for you when you arrive at the mostro lounge, a greeting from Floyd. Whenever Floyd sees something that reminds him of you, he’ll get it, doenst matter if it’s a broken glass bottle, or the finest piece of jewelry he’s ever seen, he’ll get it and give it to you. The way he compares your hand sizes, cause he hears it’s supposed to be super cute, and a thing humans do. Buys matting shoes for you to wear places, he always makes sure your shoes compliment your outfit just right. Squeezing your a little less harshly than he does other people, is a sure way to see if Floyd likes you. Seeing you in the crowd at his basketball games, and smiling so wide, while yelling a hello so loud, that no matter where you were in the crowd you could hear it.
— silver —
Making sure you’re taking care of yourself is something you’ll often find silver doing, he doesn’t want you to be unhealthy, even if he does kind of sound like your dad sometimes. Giving you his half finished notes when you need them, and apologizing saying he fell asleep during class again. Silver is much of a jewelry person, but for you he’ll buy matching bracelets. Walks through the forest together, looking at all the animals that gather around you both, and the beautiful plant life. Reading peacefully with you under a tree, only to fall asleep, because the sun just feels so… perfect shining down on you, it’s so warm, and peaceful.
— rook —
Gazing at you during class, uncaring if he screws up his notes, you just look so perfect concentrating, well, you look perfect no matter what to him. Lending you his coat, even when it’s a beautiful day outside, he’ll always be a gentleman! Doing your makeup for you, even if he may not always be the best depending on what type of style you’re into. Listening, and taking note of your interests, so he can surprise you with a gift a day or so later. Always helping you out with something, he just wants to spend more time with you, and if that means helping you with homework, and a subject he sucks at, then so be it! Teaching you things about hunting, animals, and plant life, is his favorite thing, it always makes him feel special when your attentions all on him. So… so many compliments from him.
— Jack —
His ears always perk up at even the mention of your name, a small wag of his tail can even be seen if you know what to look for. A proud smile always crosses his face whenever you get the grade you were hoping for, he is always proud of you and your accomplishments. Actually letting you touch his tail, and ears, no one else has even gotten enough courage to ask, but you’re the exception of course. Such a good listener, and will remember the things you say for a long, long time. Takes a lot of your words to heart, and will greatly respect your options, and be very very supportive of you (unless it goes against his morals. Can’t be going against jacks morals now (lmao))

To Be Her Shield
A commission for @tri3tri
[Evil AU] Yandere!Rook Hunt x Fem!MC
Trying to survive in NRC isn’t easy, this time you were lucky Rook was there, weren’t you?
Length: 1.8k
Tumblr media
He was used to watching, it was something had done his whole life. Was it really a surprise that he had taken to watching the new innocent student that had stumbled into NRC? Observing her had become one of his favourite pastimes, seeing her plan and manipulate situations so that she could survive was always interesting, he wanted to see how long she could survive, so that’s how he found himself here, watching her being cornered in a silent corridor by a Savanaclaw student who currently had a hand wrapped around her arm with a smile that was enough to send a visible shiver down her spine. She probably thought she was being smart, she’d gotten to know the layout of the school early on, she learned the backways to get to places, the unused passages and which places were good to use at specific times of day for being deserted, she was smart.
But she’d been complacent, she’d likely gotten too used to things going her way from her many escapes from sticky situations. She’d made the mistake of not checking if she was being followed, and the result of that complacency was her current predicament. Her expression was nervous as she glanced from side to side, trying to see if there was any way to slip past the hulking form of the beastman in front of her, but her attempts to create an escape plan were cut short by a fist slamming into the stone of the wall right next to her face. She yelped, flinching away on instinct as her free hand came up to shield her face.
“Thinking you can get away you stupid bitch?”
He couldn’t see the expression on his face from his vantage point further down the corridor in the shadows, but the fear in her eyes was enough for him to imagine the deranged smile he was directing at her. He was Savanaclaw, brutishly strong and faster than her. She was in trouble, being isolated in this place was normally a good thing, but now she was probably cursing her decision, while having other around her would be useful, besides himself of course, there was no guarantee that any other student would help her and they certainly didn’t feel shame in harming someone in front of other people, but at the least they would likely pick a fight with the student pinning her, giving her a chance to slip away.
But she didn’t still didn’t give up, grabbing the hand wrapped around her upper arm, trying to pry it off. His fingers didn’t budge at her tugging, instead tightening to the point he could see the skin whiten and cave under his hand, lifting her off the ground by the limb, leaving her dangling in his grasp for a moment before levering his hand upwards and bringing it down harshly, throwing her upwards before she was suddenly thrown forward with immense strength. Her body went crashing forward, unable to correct herself, her body slamming into the stone of the floor. He could come to her aid no doubt, but he simply didn’t want to, her expressions of pain and desperation too beautiful for him to cut short, no, he would let this play out.
He continued to watch as she lifted her head from the floor with unclear eyes. Dazed, she shook her head, but before she could try and catch the breath that had been forced out of her, but unknown the her, the student behind her lifted his foot into the air before violently smashing it down into her back just below her ribs, knocking the little air she had out of her lung in a pain filled wheeze.
“You’ve been a pain in the ass sneaking around like a rat. Think you’re smarter than us? A smug bitch like you needs to be put in your place, you’re nothing!” His foot hooked under her waist, rolling her over with it before smashing his foot down on her again, and then she was struggling to breathe. Panic started to set into her features, her legs kicking out as her hands came up to grasp at his shin, her nails digging into and raking across his jeans, trying to press them into the solid muscle of his leg to get him to get off, but he didn’t budge, just looking down at her with a sadistic smirk as she thrashed under his foot.
“Eh, does the little rat want to get away? Too bad, you’ve pissed me off with all your running around, I’m sick of seeing your pathetic tries to hide. Maybe caving your face in’ll be enough to calm me down.” He grinned, balling his hand into a fist and bringing it up next to his head. “We’ll just have to see, won’t we?”
She sucked in all the breath she could before clamping her eyes shut, and at that point he’d seen enough. He was an observer normally, he enjoyed watching her struggle and thrash and struggle to survive, there was beauty in her desperation to survive, but there was something in the idea of her dying to the brutality of a no name Savanaclaw student that simply didn’t appeal to him. Was it that her body would be mutilated and torn to shreds, that she wouldn’t remain beautiful in such a death? But his reasoning didn’t matter, nocking an arrow, he pulled back the bowstring, feeling the familiar tension before releasing. With her eyes still closed, she wouldn’t see as the arrow flew forwards, cutting through the air with terrifying precision before it sliced through its target, lodging itself through the fist of her perpetrator, the unexpected pain blew his eyes wide as a scream left him. The pain heightening his senses, adrenaline pumping through his veins sending tremors through his muscles as he jumped to the side, scanning the hallway with the fierce eyes of an injured animal that made his blood run warm, his hand grasped around his injured wrist where the arrow locked his palm and some of his fingers together in a fist.
“Who the fuck did that?!” He had to hold in his laugh and the ferocity of his tone, enjoying the moment of watching a scared, cornered animal try to figure out how a situation they had believed to be under their control went so wrong.
“Ah, my apologies monsieur! That would be me.” His footsteps from his side of the hallway rung clear, but his accent would give him away before he stepped into the light.
“Rook Hunt.” The student snarled, his hand circled around the wrist of his damaged hand as he glared at him tighter as the blood began to drop to the floor. But when he began to twitch his hand, he could only laugh.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you monsieur, if you try to tear that arrow out, you’ll rip off at least one of your fingers and damage at least one more beyond repair.” His eyes narrowed. “I would suggest getting yourself to the infirmary, an injured predator becomes prey quickly, non?”
The student snarled again, but after a moment he slunk past the two of them with a harsh glare before walking down the hall.
“Thank you.” He looked towards her, taking in her rare disheveled appearance, her shirt untucked, rumpled, and stained with the debris from the bottom of the student’s boot, hair ruffled and unkempt, skin paler than normal, shaking even as she tried to sit up and support herself, how lovely she looked, even like this.
“There’s no need to thank me, mon chéri, is it not the duty of a gentleman to protect a lady? Speaking of which-“ she looked at him in confused wonder as he nocked another arrow, turning to face the way the student had begun to walk. By the time he had released the arrow and he turned back to face her, her look of wonder turned to one of shock, morphing into fear as a heavy thump sounded from further down the corridor. “Are you alright?”
“Did...Did you kill him?” Her voice was small and weak, her overall appearance more akin to a delicate baby bird than a human, he could only smile as she winced back from the hand he offered her, so he drew it back to his chin.
“Ah, mon chéri, you are still so innocent! Do you think he would’ve let you go? Such a beast would never let his prey escape him, he would’ve hunted you once more as soon as he could. There’s only one way to stop such a brute.”
“I could hide, there must be some other way!” He shook his head with a dramatic sigh.
“Could you truly do so forever my dear? You have experienced it yourself, you know the ugly reality of this place, do you not? Such a delicate maiden is easy prey here, for you it is the most dangerous.”
“But-“
“You do not wish to kill?” He smiled. “You don’t need to fear! I too would prefer for your hands to not be stained with red! If that is the case, why do we not work together?”
“What do you mean?”
“Come to me. I can be your shield, I can protect you so you never feel such fear and brutality again, your hands can remain clean at my side.”
“But what do I give you?” He knelt to her level, taking her hand in his and laying a kiss to the back of it.
“The pleasure of your company is enough of a gift, mon chéri, for you are the only one in this place that is still untainted, simply staying with me is payment enough. I ask for nothing more, I swear upon my honour.”
The two remained in silence for a moment, it seemed that she was thinking over the offer, her frazzled mind likely trying to compare the pros and cons of the deal offered to her. But the two of them knew as well as the other did that she wasn’t strong enough to survive in NRC alone, so looking up at him, she reluctantly nodded.
“Alright.”
“ Ah, magnifique! The two of us shall have a most splendid time, I promise you! But first I believe we should take you to the infirmary, you look quite shaken mon chéri.”
“Oh, no. There’s no need-“
“Nonsense! I promised to protect you, no?” He lifted her into his arms, holding her so that her focus was towards her own embarrassment rather than the body the two would walk past, and as she flushed against his shoulder, he could no longer hold in the satisfied smile where she clung to him. He certainly made the right choice in allowing her to see the truth of NRC, the body they walked past wouldn’t be the last to add to the pile of kills in her name, but he could at least thank his sacrifice for driving her into his arms.

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR | JADE LEECH | ROOK HUNT
— how they would react when you lend their jacket to another person
Tumblr media
notes: Sem finally posted oml 😭🙏 and I’m once again hating my post layout but at this point what’s new
: gender-neutral reader
Tumblr media
They looked like they were about to freeze to death.
Body shuddering, teeth chattering, they held themselves in a shaky embrace as their hands rubbed at their cold arms, head tucked beneath the collar of their shirt as far as they cold.
With this, you cast a worried gaze at them. They should probably get to an infirmary, but before that…
Taking a step forward but eventually halting, you internally debated with yourself before finally making up your mind, peeling your lover’s jacket off of yourself.
“Is it okay to lend your jacket to them? They look like they’re freezing.”
Tumblr media
LEONA KINGSCHOLAR
His eyes widened a little, a bewildered look on his face before questioning you if you really didn’t need it or not. When you shook your head no, saying how they look like they need it more, he gave a shrug and watched you hand it over to them.
His gaze would linger on you for a moment while you advised them to head to the infirmary, a few kind students offering to accompany them in case they collapse in the middle of the hallway.
Huh. You’re usually really possessive when it came to his clothing. Loved it hugging your body and his scent lingering around, just the thought of his clothes on you is enough to make you happy for the entire day. So it was really a surprise when you lent it to other people, a stranger, even.
Oh well…this particular herbivore, his herbivore, can be kinder than most people, and he’s sure you’re unaware of that fact yourself.
“You better get it back.”
“Of course I’m going to. No way I’m letting that fluffy jacket go.”
Was the ‘his herbivore’ necessary? No. But was it wanted by most crowd? Yes. And by most crowd I mean me.
Tumblr media
JADE LEECH
“Are you sure you don’t need it, darling?” Your gaze was cast down for a second, probably still hesitating but once again shook your head, certain that you’re alright with sharing your lover’s jacket to another person, just for a while.
Ah…in truth, Jade would have actually liked you being a little more on the selfish side. His clothes aren’t for just anyone to wear, you know? So far, only you have been able to take them as you wish. To lend it to other people so lightly…
Jade smiled, nodding his head for you to go ahead. As you handed them the much needed warm jacket, Jade gave detailed instructions on what they should do in order to make this sickness go away. After he deemed the person strong enough to walk by themselves to the infirmary, he headed back to you.
Holding your chin with the gentlest way possible, Jade tipped it up for him to have a better view at your features, the smile he wore was the cause of your hot cheeks.
“You’re quite the warm-hearted one, aren’t you?”
Tumblr media
ROOK HUNT
Actually, this man is already fussing over the suffering student before you even noticed their discomfort. Switching sides with you so that he could check up on the sick student and also putting you at a safe distance so that you wouldn’t get infected.
He’d tell them ways to get better quickly like an expert would, speaking and speaking until he felt a tug at his sleeve, you peeped from behind him, giving the student a glance before looking up at Rook, asking if you could lend them his jacket that you were wearing.
Rook is moved by your kind-hearted gesture! Nodding his head enthusiastically, he let you hand the warm clothing to them, giving them a pat on the back as he bid them goodbye and wishes a speedy recovery for them.
After that, he’d go on and on about his admiration for your thoughtfulness. How generous! But what’s amusing to him is, if it weren’t for the student’s intense shivering and looked as if they were a literal ice block, he knew you’d be snarling at any other people who try to take his clothing away from you. You’ve done that before.

I don't remember if i already requested something so ignore if i did!!
If that's okay could i request Rook and Vil reacting to Epel dating the reader, but the thing is, the reader is VERY loud and chaotic but Vil can't say shit cause they helped him during his overblot and they won't hesitate remind him. Also because of he did they would go "i aM ANGRY AND I WANT TO PUNCH" mode on him hskzgsksb
rook and vil reacting to epel dating mc
pairings (more like characters lol): epel felmier x gn! reader, rook hunt, vil schoenheit
warnings: grammatical errors
notes: this is in bulleted form so yEa thank you for waiting and enjoy <3 (also didn’t have a proper layout for this so im not gonna place a pic :/ )
ROOK HUNT & VIL SCHOENHEIT
well… they both turn into parenting mode when they find out about epel’s relationship with you
vil mostly- is really judgemental abt it since he knew you were a chaotic one
you were completely different from pomefiore students making this a little different
at times- when the pomefiore trio is alone, rook speaks gently about the relationship like
“are you sure you really like them?” smth like that while vil is “they’re completely a mess! how could you like someone like that?”
but then again you guys have to remind vil that you basically helped him through his overblot so yEa
anywho- while meeting them over tea you were pretty much loud. i mean- at this point rook doesn’t mind.
“well, you’re not too bad, y/n.” rook says while vil is just sO YK?
later on vil and rook had to deal with this and live on with epel dating you
this took a while for vil to adjust at the sight but sure yk he apparently adjusted
they both remind you to take care of epel (esp. vil lols)
later on, they’re used to you being in the dorm
boom every thing is okay now JSBDBWJD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Hello! I stumbled upon your blog, and your works are absolutely divine! I was wondering if you're up for an Idia or Rook fic, where the reader is the daughter of one of the teachers/staff; she basically gets spied on by her dad during her date- (I'm not good at conceptualizing so I hope you got the gist of it- Thank you so much and Stay well love! <3)
Ooh this sounds fun! And thank you so much, I'm glad you like my work :) and just for you, I'll write for Idia and Rook! Remember to drink water and stay healthy🌱
☆~Notes: second person POV, fluff ♡~Characters: Idia, Rook ◇~Warnings: none :)
Idia Shroud
"We don't have to go anywhere today, y'know, we could hang out at the dorms tonight?" Idia was currently having a bit of trouble out in the daylight, surrounded by people. It was your duty as Idia's partner to make sure he was comfortable, and so seeing him freeze up like this instantly sent you into parent mode. His hands were clutched close to his chest and he was hiding under the shade of a tree. You could tell that he really didn't want to be out and about when there were so many people, and you were about to reach out for him when he suddenly took a deep breath.
"No, I can, I can deal with this. We always have our, our dates in the dorms so, y'know, we should have one outside too." Idia put on a brave smile, albeit a bit wobbly, before grabbing your hand gently. A large grin grew on your face and heat rose on your cheeks. "Okay, but we can always go back home if you need us to." He nodded at your statement, face burning red from nerves, and slight embarrassment. With his hand in yours, you (gently) pulled Idia around the town. You were quite familiar with the layout of the streets, luckily for the both of you.
"Sooo~, where do you wanna head to first? I think there's a few different hot spots here that we could visit. That street has an arcade, there's an ice cream parlour down that way.." You trailed off, turning to Idia for his input. You were startled to see that he was already looking at you, and when he caught your eyes looking back at his, he turned away quickly, his grip on your hand tightening ever so slightly. "Uhh, the-yea we could go get something to eat first if uh, if you feel up to it?" He stammered, looking everywhere but you while trying, and failing, to conceal the bright red hue on his cheekbones. You'd both agreed to hit up the frozen dessert shop first, seeing as it was hotter than usual and neither of you were too hungry at the moment.
"Here's a question, are you a smoothie kind of guy, or do you prefer ice cream?" You'd had plenty of conversations such as this one with Idia. Innocent little conversations that didn't really go anywhere, but were easy to engage in, and it left room to segue into other conversations. "I don't know... I think I'd go for uhm... frozen yoghurt actually." He lifted his free hand to his chin while he thought, smiling back at you sheepishly. You nodded as you walked through the glass door of the Dessert shop, causing a little bell above the door to ring. The man at the counter smiled, waving the two of you over. There were only a few customers present, and not a lot of noise, and you felt the way Idia relaxed a bit. The air was a bit chilly too, but it was a great relief after being out under the beating sun.
"What can I get for you two?" You ordered fairly quickly, already knowing what you wanted, and waited patiently for Idia. You gave him a few suggestions, seeing as he had never visited this shop before. After a few minutes, both of you now had your frozen desserts in hand and were on your way out of the shop. You were quick to dig into your order, hoping for the cool to spread through your body quickly. As Idia was complimenting the taste of his treat, a shiver ran up your spine, and you were pretty sure it wasn't from your ice cream. You didn't want to scare Idia, so you looked around the street as if you were taking in the sights, looking for the pair of eyes you felt boring into your back.
You almost gasped out loud when your eyes locked on your a pair of glowing yellow eyes hidden beneath a crow's face mask.
Your dad, Dire Crowley, was sitting at a table across the street, staring right at you. Your eyes narrowed and you pursed your lips.
Idia had since then noticed a change in your mood and had followed your line of sight until he spotted Crowley as well. He let out a strangled gasp, his face growing ten shades darker than they were moments ago.
"Y/N, is, is that, your dad is, he, why is Crowley here?" He stumbled over his words, his hand releasing yours in his slight panic.
You huffed, poking your tongue out at Crowley before turning your back to him and grabbing Idia's hand.
"Yea, but it's fine, he'll leave once he realizes he isn't welcome on our date."
Rook Hunt
It was the weekend and due to both you and Rook being busy so often with your dorms and other school-related affairs, you hadn't had any time to meet up for dates. This weekend was the exception, though.
You had met up with Rook the day before, making your plans early so that you would have time to prepare and outfit the night before. You'd also suggested a few different places the two of you would be visiting so you had an idea of where you'd be going, and how long you would be expected to be out. Rook had suggested a few things, like visiting a few different book stores around town, or even just walking around the park for a few hours. The weather was the perfect temperature, a bit on the warmer side but with a light breeze that would keep you from sweating. "I'm sure the book store would have a few new additions, wouldn't you think so, mon amour?" Rook's gloved hand was wrapped tightly around your own, spreading his warmth to you. His arm swung back and forth, taking your arm along with his as you walked down the street. "How long has it been since your last visit? You visit the shop on the plaza often." He nodded, taking in the sights around him. "There are plenty of books in that shop that I've already read, but there are plenty I haven't. That's one of the joys of being young, I have plenty of time to read." You smiled as Rook began droning on about whatever he felt he wanted to speak about. You liked listening to Rook speak. Even if you didn't understand a few of the things he spoke about, it was nice that he could fill the silence whenever he needed to. On top of that, it was cute to see him speak with such passion about the things he liked. He finished his monologue, looking down at you with a smile.
"Aside from your love of poetry, we could also pick up a new roll of film for your camera." Your suggestion caused Rook's eyes to light up.
"Now that is a great idea, mon amour!" He exclaimed, leaning over to place a quick kiss to the top of your hair.
His lips lingered for a moment before he straightened again, a sly smile on his face as he stared past you for a moment before meeting your gaze.
Your eyebrows furrowed, opening your mouth before closing it again and turning towards the area Rook was looking at.
You cringed outwardly when you realized that Rook was looking straight at your dad, Divus Crewel. Your lips curled into a crumbly frown before you took the lead and began pulling Rook away from the area you just stood at.
Rook laughed from his chest, smiling at you in adoration as you weaved your way through a crowd to escape the scrutinizing gaze of your father.
"Afraid of showing me off to your father?" Rook chirped.
"No, but I really don't want to deal with his complaining at home later on."
