Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Three | Age-old Conflict

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

"I knew I'd find you here!"

At the sound of that voice -- familiar and friendly -- you look up from your book and form a smile when you recognize the person behind it.

"Are you busy right now?" Jack asks, sitting in the empty chair next to yours. "I'd like you to meet someone, if you're not too busy!"

You bookmark where you're at, glance up to face his eyes, and catch a glimpse of excitement behind them. Him looking so cheerful as he waits for your response makes it almost impossible not to be persuaded into agreeing right off the bat. Still, you give the offer some thought and take your school schedule into account, against letting your responsibilities pile up right from the beginning.

"Sure," you reply, setting the book aside. "I'm just doing some self-study, at the moment." You furrow your gaze and add, "Who am I meeting, by the way?" While having time was one thing, taking into consideration who you would befriend was another. You look around and frown when you see there's no one present nearby, not only from the risk of you being all alone at a school like this one, but at the curiosity over getting to meet another student -- and potential, eventual friend, hopefully.

Jack calls the person over as a response.

The one mentioned doesn't take too long to appear, as he shows up by the door frame in less than it takes for you to organize the pile of books on the table; he even manages a sheepish wave when he catches you staring at him, yet he keeps quiet and still after that, in spite of neither of you knowing each other's names.

It's another wolf, though he's nowhere similar to Juno. The only remotely close aspect you can find between them is his height, but even then, it's not the same. If Jack had to crouch a bit to talk to you, the wolf would no doubt have to do that, too -- if not more than that. Jack introduces him as Legoshi, a name you'd often heard slip from Juno's mouth since the past week spent as her roommate. You reciprocate his wave from earlier and direct a quick smile at him, one he returns with a reserved, almost hesitant nature -- completely different from your expectations, given his species.

At the thought of him being the one Juno often rambled on about, you bite back a grin and introduce yourself in return. The image she'd painted you of the wolf is barely needed when you take notice of just how cautious and awkward he is in greeting you. It's like he's not so sure as to how to approach you, and each movement he makes is just as wary as the next.

When you shake hands with him, you see his gaze wander over to the book and a pile of them left on the table.

His face lights up in recognition, and it doesn't take long before he asks, "Are you the homeschool student from last week?"

You chuckle, let go of his hand, and walk off back to the table to pick up the book, smile growing when you read the title again. "Is it that obvious?" You hold it up in your hands and bite back another laugh. "I'm, well... I'm trying to be less… ignorant -- now that I'm going to be studying at a place like this! Homeschool didn't really teach me stuff beyond math, science, and languages, so I need to make up for that as much as I can." 'Of Wolves and Sheep: A Fundamental Guide to Carnivores, Herbivores, and those in between', reads the book's cover; the sheer irony of your meeting deems you incapable of wiping away your smile. "But, this is probably basic knowledge to everyone here though, huh?"

His eyes glance over the book once more, while his gaze softens as he shakes his head, returning your playful nature. "Not really," he replies, sitting down across from you and Jack when you offer him to. "I'm still learning, too," he adds. "Maybe it looks like everyone here knows about that topic, but... If you know about what happened to one of the students, you'd think differently." A somber expression reaches his face as he huffs and passes a hand against the back of his neck; a more mournful look then glints in his visage -- almost a second after, yet it's shaken off when he continues with, "In the end, it feels more like everyone's just trying their best to understand each other despite everything going on."

You toy with the book in your possession and stay quiet as your mind debates whether or not it would be okay to ask more about the incident. So far, you'd only heard rumours about it, these hard to hold on to with how frail and inconsistent their sources and information were. When you see sadness return to the wolf's gaze, you fight against it. Whatever went on at the drama club with one of its students was clearly still affecting him to this day, so you try not to make him feel worse by adding any unneeded comments to the mix. Whether he knew the person didn't matter; asking anything else would kill the mood entirely.

"I thought you'd wait for me, Legoshi. How rude of you!"

Hearing another voice blend into the calm of the library, you glance back towards the door to see a peafowl standing by it, a smile on his face despite the accusation in his words. He has his arms firmly crossed, faking anger through an equally firm glare. "Were you that desperate to meet the new girl? You disappeared the second we left the drama club!" While part of your questions are fulfilled with the person's entrance, you still don't dare ask Legoshi about the incident. Rather, you keep quiet and greet the peafowl with a wave and a smile -- just like you'd done with the wolf next to you. "You all look so cute together! Should I take a picture?"

You tense up and observe those around you. Embarrassment falls on you when you notice just how popular you seem to be currently, being surrounded by two canines and an avian. Your first few days as a new student appear gone now, and -- to any outsider -- it would come off as if you're the center of attention, with all gazes on you. "It… It's fine!" you reply, words almost stuttered. On instinct, you hide behind your book and try to control the shake of your hands. As kind as the offer is, you're far too jittery to even consider the idea of having your picture taken -- and even less with other people.

Still, you're against being rude, so you add a 'thank you, though' after your words.

"A shy one, aren't you?" he comments, covering a giggle with his hand. "You must be (Y/N), right? Juno wouldn't stop talking about the new girl, and when I heard Legoshi was meeting you today, I just had to join!" He stands by the only empty chair left at your table and extends a hand out to you before sitting down. "My name's Dom. It's nice to meet you!"

Safe to say, his energy is infectious.

You take his hand, palm feeling just as warm as his voice and smile. "Nice to meet you, too."

Then, you let go and move your gaze back to your book. The pile at the center of the table is the next thing to be the source of attention when Dom comments over it, mischief replacing his previous, friendly tone. He reaches out for the pile, drags it over to his side, and picks the odd one out -- one you'd tried to hide by slipping it in the very middle of the rest. "It seems our new girl already has her eyes on someone here, huh? And here I thought Juno was only teasing you about it!"

To be blunt, he's holding a romance book -- its cover risqué. The image features a forbidden love between a carnivore and a herbivore, and while the publishing year dates back to almost a century ago, it retains plenty of relevance today. At a time when tension between the two sides was still fresh and bleeding, books like these existed, though you didn't exactly want to be found out with it currently. "Is it this guy, perhaps?" Dom asks, pointing at Jack, who straightens his posture as fast as the accusation comes. A hint of red shows on his face, but he tries to hide it by looking elsewhere. "You sure act quick, (Y/N)! I'm impressed."

Not wanting for further assumptions to be made, you suspend yourself over the table, focus on your target, and try to reach out for the book. Too easy to be true, you almost fall over when Dom pulls back, hiding it behind him. "It- It's not like that, really!" you exclaim, words coming out about as flustered as your face likely is now. "I'm just curious about the book -- It reminds me of a fairytale I read when I was little!"

At that, Dom stops evading your attempts at grabbing the book back from him. Interest crosses his gaze and a moment of silence takes over the room, one you're not feeling too confident about. "Oh, really?" he asks, cooing. "Hopeless romantic? Or curious about what your parents never told you?"

You sit back down on your seat and look at your lap, face burning. "A... A bit of both, actually."

The peafowl laughs, a sound honest and bright. When you stare back at him, he's holding out the book, waiting for you to take it. "Lend it to me when you're finished, alright?" he says, winking. "I'm a bit curious myself."

You allow yourself a few minutes for your face to cool down some more and huff out a long, deep breath when you're done. Truth be told, it nearly seems as if you've spent all the energy left in you by agreeing to meet new people, yet you don't exactly dislike the experience. Rather, you smile again when you recover and find your cheeks and chest hurt from how happy you are right now.

Nodding, you take the book and place it under your current read.

Your shoulders tense when you feel everyone's eyes on you, though you push through with an "alright".

Summoning Ritual (3/3)

Author: @wordsfromthesol Taglist: @malfoys-demigod @pricetagofficial @zphilophobiaz @queencommonsense @edenspolaroids @bonzhur @silverw19 @sleepingwithsirensfangirl1 @red-for-harleen @officiallydarkgeek Pairing: Tim Drake x Reader Summary: You try a summoning ritual, optimistically hoping to be reunited with your parents, but somehow end up in Gotham. At Wayne Manor. Doesn't this stuff only exist in comic books and television? Word Count: 1.5k

Part One Part Two

The walk downstairs felt like an eternity. The boom tube was supposedly instantaneous, but you swear it took ages to get to the Watchtower. And then there you were, standing outside of a door. A simple door was all that stood between you and your parents. Well, your biological parents anyway. You sucked in a deep breath and stepped through the threshold.

"Y/N." The simple word breathy and full of relief. Zatanna immediately ran up and embraced you.

"You can't be here." All the relief and joy emitted by your supposed mother was destroyed with one short sentence. Constantine stood facing the wall, unable to look at you.

"Not now…" Zatanna seethed, wanting to revel in the moment of seeing her daughter.

"Yes fucking now. That damn bastard could be right outside!" You could tell it was taking all his willpower not to turn around.

"Is there someone after me?" The question left your lips before your brain had time to process it.

"Of course there is. Do you think we would send our daughter to another fucking world --" Constantine stopped himself. "We had no other bloody choice."

"I'm sure the Justice League…" Tim interjected, but his thoughts were quickly dismissed.

"No bird boy. The good ole Justice League can't do shit against bloody Trigon. I've seen it. I've seen her die." you could see his frustration rising, "My own daughter dead before she was born. It was the only way."

"Did…uh…something change? Why am I back here?" Once again, the question seemed to bypass your brain.

Finally, his willpower gave out, as he spun around to face you. "How the bloody hell did you even get here? We gave up everything for you to be safe. And now you're just back."

You saw a look of confusion flash across Zatanna's face just as she chimed in, "Y/N. How did you get back?"

You furrowed your brows, "You're asking me as if I know? I found this stupid summoning spell online and was trying to talk to my parents again." Your eyes fell to the ground, "Who apparently aren't my parents…" you mumbled out.

"What was the spell?" She looked at you, curiosity in her voice.

"I don't know! It didn't make any sense okay!" You didn't know why you were getting so upset, but you couldn't help screaming out in frustration.

"Damn it all. You must remember something. It was a spell. You remember it. Think." Any remaining patience Constantine had vanished as the final word left his lips.

Inhaling sharply, you closed your eyes. A few moments passed before you began to mumble:

Nwoym llacot ecalpa erised straehym emgnirb dnaraf dnaraen hcraes kcali tahwsi emoha.

The words kept tumbling from your mouth, bypassing your thoughts entirely. You were jolted from the trance as you felt someone's arms surround you. With your eyes still tightly shut, you felt their hands travel up your back and briefly caress your shoulders before coming to rest on your cheeks. Only then did you open your eyes to find Tim intently staring down at you.

"I told you, I'm right here."

"AHEM! I'm sorry little birdie, are you dating my daughter?!" The raucous voice echoed throughout the room. Zatanna quickly stepped in Constantine's path.

"So, the spell. A home is what I lack. Search near and far and bring me my heart's desire. A place to call my own." She paused for a minute, letting the words settle in her mind. "It's more of a seeking spell. It returned you to your home and likely near your heart's desire." She eyed the two of you, still entangled in each other. "Now that that mystery is solved, we need to address the elephant in the room. Trigon is still after you and a display of magic powerful enough for you to travel between earths."

"He knows you're here," Constantine mumbled her final thoughts. "Where's Raven?"

"Titans Tower. San Francisco." Tim called out before heading towards the Zeta tube. No one had a plan, but hopefully Raven could help with that. After all, she's managed to keep Trigon at bay up until now.

"I'm sorry." Raven shook her head, surely she misunderstood Tim. "And you think Trigon can use her to get to this world? You're who exactly?" She turned towards you, waiting on a response. Constantine spoke up instead.

"Oi, she's our daughter. We all know the bastard could damn well do it."

"Right…and you guys managed to hide a kid for 20 years how exactly?"

"Well, actually…we only gave her up a year ago. Exactly a year ago. And we sent her to a different universe. One where Trigon was just a myth. One where he held little to no power." Zatanna looked over at you with the same sorrowful look in her eyes from your vision. "And then she showed up here. Lost, confused, and unaware of the power she holds."

"If it's such a big deal, then just send me back." You looked around the room, tired of them talking as if you weren't standing in front of them.

"That won't work. If what they say is true, he already knows of your existence and will be coming." Raven reasoned with you as you watched the gears turn in her mind. "We need to go check his prison.

"Y/N is not going." Tim spoke for you, which inadvertently made you want to go.

"And why not?"

"Y/N, you don't understand. The jail --" Tim began, but Raven cut him off.

"It's in my mind. And we're all going. Because if he is out, it's going to take all of us to stop him."

It was only a matter of hours and a few more arguments between Raven and your parents before you were all standing on some sort of bridge. Looking around, you noticed nothing here obeyed the laws of physics. How were you supposed to fight in a place like this? Did you even know how to fight? Unfortunately, it seemed like you would have your answer sooner rather than later.

Everyone's face grew grim as you approached this red crystal-like structure. You understood why as a black face with too many eyes appeared through the shimmering prison. Your whole body shook as you watched a smile form on its beastly features.

"Oh look. You brought the girl right to me. How kind of you all."

"Don't you dare act like you planned this!" You jumped back as Raven lunged towards him, enraged.

"Didn't I daughter? Why I grew tired of your rejections. Once I learned of this offspring…I knew I had a chance yet again. Such powerful magic courses through her. Easily enough to contain me as I journey to your world."

"Tim, get her out of here…now!" Zatanna screamed out just as a large crack formed in the crystal. You felt a tug at your arm, but your legs were locked in place. You heard a villainous laugh echo through your body.

"I'm afraid it's too late for that." Wait…was that your voice? You watched as your arm jerked, pulling Tim to the ground. "This girl truly has not scratched the surface of her power. Time to test it. Who's first? The newfound mother perhaps?" Your hands sent a surge of energy towards Zatanna, knocking her to the ground. Constantine mumbled something as he ran to her side. A bubble appeared around them. "Oh well, that's no fun. Raven, why don't you come out and play?" Raven's eyes went dark as she began levitating off the ground. Almost as soon as she started to say a spell of her own, a blast from above spiraled down and threw her to the floor. "Too easy. Where's that Tim fellow? You seemed fond of him…" You felt your head turning from side to side, but pressed your eyes shut.

"NO!" You screamed out.

"How did you…don't bother fighting girl." Suddenly the wind left your body as it smacked against the pavement. Still, you refused to open your eyes. "You think the loss of sight can stop ME?!" The voice roared throughout your head. You didn't know what to do or how to stop him and you were slowly losing all the feeling in your body. Christ, you only knew one spell to begin with. But you couldn't hear the outside world anymore. What was left to try?

Fuck it. You thought before saying the incantation in your mind. You had no idea how long you had repeated the statement in your mind before you heard it out loud. Coming from your own mouth. Slowly you began to feel new aches and pains forming all over your body. Then you heard it. Zatanna screaming out an incantation of her own.

"Nomed nosirp rouy ot nruter!"

Following her lead, you belted out the words, "Nomed nosirp rouy ot nruter!" You paused for just a moment before adding your own spell. "Edisni lrig eht eerf dna dniheb ecart on evael!" Suddenly your legs crumpled beneath you. You braced yourself for the hard ground, but instead, you only felt the warmth of someone's arms. Your eyes fluttered open to see Tim's face. You gently caressed his jaw, eyes focused on the bruise already taking form. "I think I may have found my home."

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Four - A Cottontail Friend

[Act One Link | Act Three Link | Act Five Link]

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry!"

You rush off to the rabbit's side and kneel in front of her, both arms outstretched as your hands hesitate over how to approach the situation. The glare she gives you at first vanishes when she gets a good look at who you are, laughter bursting from her not long after she observes you. She then stands up, dusting off her uniform's skirt and facing down at you. She's biting back what you assume is another laugh, judging by how her body shakes and the muffled sound that leaves her mouth.

"Sorry about glaring at you," she says, offering a hand out to you. "I thought you were someone else."

You neither reject nor accept her attempt at helping you back to your feet, still shaken from the experience. Your hand trembles as it reaches out for hers, the stain on her shirt not helping with the situation. "Wh- What are you apologizing for?" you ask, a frown accompanying your question. "I'm the one who spilled juice all over you!"

Remembering what's in your pockets, you pull your hand back and rummage through them, retrieving some wet wipes and a handkerchief. The rabbit lifts a brow at that, though she doesn't comment anything about it. Only when you stand up all by yourself and insist on cleaning her shirt on your own is that you realize just what that implies. When you try to wipe the material clean, your face is too close for comfort, a similar scenario to when Jack met up with you at the cafeteria returning. Not quite courageous enough to back away now nor go through with your original plan, you offer the wipes to her, apologizing once more.

"I didn't see where I was going!" you comment, frowning. "I- I know how to get those stains off if they don't fade, so just... Just let me know, and I'll do it for you!"

"Calm down for a moment, will you?" she replies, again holding back a smile. "I already said I confused you with someone else, so I'm not angry at you. Just surprised." Instead of cleaning her shirt, she sets the wipes aside, using her free hand to offer it over to you again, a smile finally showing through. "You're one of the new students, aren't you? Legoshi told me about you." You take her hand this time, letting go as quickly as the handshake ends. "I'm Haru," she adds, her smile growing. "You must be (Y/N), right?"

You nod, smiling back. "Yes. I, um…" You laugh, facing her eyes before looking down. "That really wasn't a great first impression, huh?"

Surprisingly, she cracks up at that, a snort almost expected to leave her. "I've had worse ones, believe me."

You both start walking without a particular destination in mind, only stopping when you reach a place less overcome by other students. She rests her back against a wall, making you do the same. "You were homeschooled, weren't you?" the rabbit asks, looking towards you. "What was it like?"

"Does everyone here know about that?" you ask back, a joking tone and a smile letting her know over the gravity of your own question. You fold your hands over your lap, facing down at them as you huff and think her question through. "I'm not sure how to explain it, but…" Your shoulders tense, mind not quite sure over how to approach the topic. "It was pretty good. My… my mother was a great teacher, and dad was, too, but…" You breathe out again, thoughts conflicted as you clutch your hands, remembering the day they locked away all books depicting even a trace of rebellion or revolution. "I don't want to sound selfish, but I guess, now that I'm out here… It feels like there's a lot to the world I don't know yet."

From the corner of your eye, you catch the sight of her ears perking up. You face her directly, seeing interest present in her gaze. At that sight, you breathe in deep and prepare yourself to continue, fueled by her expression, "While I can pretty much consider myself independent in terms of housework, studying, and all that… I think if I were to come across a moment of high-tension, I wouldn't know how to deal with it." You break your gaze away, looking down again as you later close your eyes, growing tense once more. "I… I get scared easily, and I'm sure if the moment came to it, I wouldn't know how to defend myself." Finally, and with a second breath in, you open your eyes, being greeted by hers, still facing you. "N- Not only that, but it feels like I'm too, well… stiff around others who…" You trail off and eye her over, gaining the missing word for your thoughts. "...who're different from us. When I saw a wolf would be my roommate, I- I just kind of panicked for a second. But then I remembered what this school was all about, and… And I felt more at ease."

You stop yourself when you realize just how much you've said in one go, barely allowing much space for the rabbit to intervene, if she even wanted to. Nervous, you face her again, welcomed by a gentler stare and a faint smile, both growing more prominent when she notices you're staring at her. "Sorry about that," you say, breathing out. "I got too carried away, didn't I?"

"A little," Haru admits, giggling. "But I get where you're coming from, (Y/N)." She takes a wipe from the packet and begins to clean the stain, one hand keeping the shirt in place while the other rubs the fabric. The marks gradually start to fade, though it's still clear something has been spilled, the uniform's light color contrasting with the subtle pink of the juice. "I think experiences like that apply for many like us." She hands the packet back to you, though you decline, telling her to keep them. "Want to hang out at lunch? We can talk more later." Again, humor returns to her face, augmented when she stares down at her shirt. "A certain someone here spilled juice all over me, so I have to go get changed now."

You make a gesture between a curtsy and a bow, growing flustered despite how blatant Haru's being about her teasing. Knowing you'd made that bad of a first impression and that you'd then proceeded to run your mouth over a single question makes your face burn with embarrassment. Your hands clutch to each other again, seeking support. "Are... Are you sure you still want to?"

She smiles, nodding. "Of course," she replies, patting her shirt free from wrinkles, caused by the wipes. "I'm only teasing you!" She narrows her eyes at you, a more playful smile tugging her lips upwards. "But if these stains really don't fade, you really are going to have to teach me how to remove them. Deal?"

You nod back, a freer grin showing on your face. "Deal!"

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Two | Down to Earth

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

"What are you standing there alone for, (Y/N)? Come sit with me!"

While you expect Juno would rather have lunch with people she already knows well, you see her stand up from her seat and approach your side when she spots you nearby. She holds the tray firm in one hand and waves with the other. In response, you smile and grab your own tray tight before following her, all while ignoring the ever-growing feeling of everyone's eyes on you, regardless of almost all the students around being too busy eating, talking, and walking to notice your presence. So far, and -- close to what you expected -- you've only talked with the wolf and the dog; the latter you hadn't even come across with since yesterday afternoon. Truth be told, you want to take up his offer and knock at the door of his dorm, but more than one reason restrains you from doing it.

First, you'd only known him for a day, and even if you really did only need to ask him more about the school, you couldn't gather sufficient courage to do it. Second, you didn't want to risk making your parents worry by telling them the very first thing you'd done was run off to the boys' dorm without a care in the world. Third and most important of all right now, you didn't know how to keep up a normal conversation with Juno without worrying about your word choice every few seconds, so merely thinking of doing the same with Jack made you retreat on the idea without thinking it twice. Having to share a room with someone else and the impending need to form small talk and prevent yourself from seeming rude or awkward was already draining enough -- mentally, most of all. You're aware you're far from prepared to tackle any other, larger issues without having an internal meltdown over them, so it's best to set some limits for the moment being; perhaps eventually, you could handle a bigger crowd, but today's not that day.

Being homeschooled weights more as a con the more hours you spend at this school. Not only do you have a hard time being social and getting adjusted to such a large campus, but you barely have any knowledge of the relationship between carnivores, herbivores, and those in-between. If you didn't wish to be classified as ignorant or naïve, you would soon need to ask either Juno or Jack to tell you where the library is. Starting off with some basic research is about the least you can do to break out of that shell -- once and for all.

"...Earth to lamb?"

You flinch and almost topple the juice box on your tray.

It takes you a second to process that you've already made it to a table, and a few more to acknowledge Juno's now sitting down -- and with an empty chair waiting across from her, too.

"Sorry," you say, mouth and ears drooping just as much as your courage. Your head spins as you rush to sit down and shrink away in your seat, avoiding eye contact with her by all means possible. Then, you take your drink, open it, and sip some of it, hoping to ease the tension out of you. "I keep... spacing out lately."

Juno smiles and tilts her head to the side, while her ears perk and her gaze lights up. Her eyes are intent on you, and these carry the same brightness as when she talked with you about love. "Someone on your mind?" She looks behind her -- as if expecting to see your source of interest from close by; her smile remains intact as she goes back to looking at you. "Is it Jack?" she asks, winking. "You looked like you were getting along pretty well with him yesterday."

You smile back, though you still end up shaking your head to let her know otherwise. Having a crush on someone so quick and suddenly was unlikely for you, but the reminder of how passionate she seemed about this particular subject yesterday makes you believe she's the type to fall fast and love lavishly. You fork some of the salad on your tray and toy with it for a moment, mind yet to return from its journey as you consider her words and just how different your view on love is when compared to hers. "I was thinking of him, but not like that." You take in some air and brace yourself for any incoming questions. "I was actually wondering if… if you knew where the library is? I know he offered to help, but-"

"So there is something going on with you!" The wolf interrupts you with her excitement and stands up from her seat. Her gaze is now as wide as the smile on her face, and her energy almost rubs off on you. She places her hands on the table, leans in, and suspends herself over it. "Was it love at first sight? Don't skim on the details, (Y/N)!"

You scratch your throat and prepare yourself with a deep breath, at a dire need to tell her the truth.

"Ah, n- no." You set the fork down and look up to meet with her eyes. The desire to clear things up grows stronger, and you can't ignore it for much longer. "I just want to make friends, but I'm not sure I'll be too successful in that, considering how… who I am."

Juno's excitement falls. Her gaze knits as she sits back down, and a frown replaces her smile, overpowering her previous attitude entirely. "What do you mean?"

You gather wit to be blunt, not wanting to sugarcoat how you feel about yourself and this recent change. "Frankly, I'm…" Your words trail off and you hesitate with a deep breath in, along with one out. "I feel I'm too... ignorant to understand how to get along better with others at this school." Hunger stays absent -- even when you stare down at your plate and breathe in its scent. Your confidence from yesterday proves to be little and outright superficial with how different you feel today, reaching towards a level of self-consciousness you haven't experienced since your early teens. "I only ever went to kindergarten, and the rest of my years were taught at home." You grab the juice box and drink from it in an attempt at finding your appetite again. When you gulp, it feels worse than before. Nausea arrives with how much you dwell over a single topic. "To be honest, It… It surprised me when I noticed I'd be staying in the same dorm as you. Jack heard me say something… rude about it, though I'm not sure if you heard me, too."

"Oh, I heard you," Juno replies, a laugh leaving her mouth. She takes a bite from her food before continuing with, "But I pretended not to."

"Why would you do that?" you ask, now your turn to frown. "You were so close by when I yelled that…" Your face turns hot the longer you think about that memory. "It was rude of me. A terrible first impression, that's for sure!"

A grin forms on her face, though she doesn't say anything yet. Rather, she takes another bite off her meal, almost emptying the plate in the process. How fast she eats prompts you to start eating from your tray, against wasting any food and risking the chances of feeling hungry by your next class. "Maybe it was, but I wanted to see if you would bring it up someday." She sets the cutlery down and glances behind you, grin growing. "And you did," she adds, words as confident as you wish you could be. "Much earlier than I thought you would." Juno gazes behind you again; her tail wags and her eyes spark with what looks to be mischief. "Look behind you!"

You do as suggested and almost end up falling from your seat when you come face-to-face with Jack, his knees currently bent to match with your sitting height. His snout is nearly close enough to brush with yours, and that same excitement and joy from yesterday remains in his stance. "How's your first day going?" he asks, tail wagging at a similar pace to Juno's, although his smile proves to be more genuine rather than teasing. "It's nice to see you making friends already!" His eyes shift towards the wolf and turn back to you once more. Then, a slip of paper is offered out to you, this one folded neat and compact for you to carry. "Here's my number, in case you ever want to hang out."

"Being bold again, aren't you, Jack?"

His hold on the paper stays even as you take it; a hint of embarrassment shows up on his cheeks when he looks at Juno. Her comment -- slowly, but surely -- dawns on him and leads to him staying frozen in that same spot for a while. "It's not like that!" Jack exclaims, snapping out of it. He finally lets go of it to stand up straight and meet the wolf with a flustered gaze.

Juno, on the other hand, laughs it out with just as much glee as the first time "Sure, it's not," she replies, giggling. Her teasing nature returns in an instant, hardly giving him a chance to recover from the previous blow. "First, you invite her to your place, and then you give her your number, too? I'm the person you can least hide these things from."

That's enough for her to shut his mouth.

Jack's forced to find a distraction by facing you again, with a less confident look now present in his eyes. "Think we could talk later? I'm meeting up with some friends today." He stops for a second; fluster falls from his face as a cheery expression makes its return. "And maybe I can introduce you to some of them, too. I'm sure they'd like to meet someone new!" He takes a final glance at the paper before leaving the table, an act done while avoiding Juno's gaze from all angles.

"Y- You can still keep that, by the way."

With that last, stuttered sentence, he runs off -- but not before waving goodbye.

You wave back and watch as he disappears from your sight, leaving you alone with Juno once more, who smiles in response.

"So... Friends, huh?" she jokes, letting out a laugh.

Your tray almost ends up on the floor when she says that, hands shaking to the point where you can't bring much control over them anymore.

While you're aware she's not being serious and that it's all done in good fun, you can't help dwelling too much on whether you're supposed to be here, and if someone like you would only cause more trouble to the school and all its people.

"I'll take your word for it, (Y/N)."

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Summary:

After calling upon the decision to test the waters between carnivores and herbivores, things at Cherryton Academy turn far more tense than they already were. Unsurprisingly, there are those who poke fun at the decision, both with good and bad reasons at hand. Calling the academy out on such high of a risk's understandable, but mocking carnivores for making friends with their opposites isn't.

Having been sheltered through seventeen years of homeschooling and the rigid rule of never going out at night, you far from expect being allowed to attend there after your eighteenth birthday. Regardless, you don't plan on cowering back. Your want to expose yourself to the real world, meet new people, and live through new experiences outweighs that fear, transforming it into strength.

Act One | Man's Best Friend

[Previous] | [Next]

Already messy files almost end up scattered on the floor, yet you manage to salvage them right on time. Your hands and legs shake just as fast as your heart beats; even breathing is a challenge with how stressed your mind is. Being around a large number of people wasn't the norm in your home; you'd been used to being a close family of six since you were born, and nothing more. Spending time with others beyond relatives was a rarity, as was the idea and agreement of having you study your final year in Cherryton -- far outside the safety of your home. Now that you're eighteen and near to graduating, your family's given you three simple rules to follow: never step out of campus at night, never join acting, and never show daintiness. All three of them emphasize the word 'never'; not a single space for protest or bargain is left in those rules. You knew the consequences of going out at night, as well as the risks of calling forth unwanted attention by choosing not to dress how you were told and letting any sort of bubbly nature out. Being forbidden to join acting was by far the only thing they hadn't explained to you by full.

"Your dorm is through here," Jack says, pointing with his eyes and snout over to a busy hallway.

While the person giving you the tour isn't exactly the type you were warned of before being admitted into this school, he isn't exactly of your type either, but more of a happy medium between the two: a dog. Not quite a carnivore and not quite a herbivore, he's what you learned to be an omnivore -- a kind you were taught to be wary of just as much as a wolf or a lion. Even then, his presence is about as warm and welcoming as sun rays on a cold, winter day, and you find it hard not to smile when he continues to show you around the place. He only ever stops when he sees he's left you far behind, a product of you losing yourself in your thoughts and the new world around you.

His excitement is one you wish you could manifest just as much as him, though the reminder of how you had to behave at this school leads you to brush and bury those ideas away and hold yourself back.

"Are you okay?"

Jack's question paired up with his careful tone help pull you out of your daydreaming. How concerned he looks makes you take note of the expression you're carrying. Oftentimes, you scrunched up your snout and furrowed your brow -- whenever you became lost in thought, mostly. To any outsider like him, it would seem as if though you're bothered by something, so you hurry in your reply, words leaving you in a rush, "I'm okay." Your smile returns as you meet his eyes. "I just… I got caught up with something else."

"Nervous about staying here?"

"About everything, honestly."

He lets out a laugh at that, and his gaze brightens as he motions for you to follow him once more.

Your next destination is what appears to be the rooms you were informed of at the beginning of your visit -- judging by the rows of doors laid around, along with one of them left open, displaying a bunk bed in the background. There's a student by the dresser, combing her fur without so much as bothering to look at you or Jack. She's far too focused on her brushing to acknowledge she's left the room visible to those wandering outside, though -- with her being a wolf -- you assume she's confident in herself. Or you believe so, at the very least, as based on the rumours your parents and every other family member taught you.

You halt when you notice Jack stops right by that door and see him gesture over with his head for you to step inside.

"Is this allowed?" you blurt out, rushing to cover up not a minute after that question leaves your mouth. "O- Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that."

"It's alright," he says, chuckling. "I know you're homeschooled, so if you have any questions about how things work here, feel free to ask me!" He stops for a moment and seems to recall something along the way. "And you can come over to my place, too, if you need more help with showing you around."

"How bold of you to invite a girl into the boys' dorm, Jack."

A feminine voice comes from behind him, and -- soon after -- the wolf from earlier appears next to the dog. She directs a cheeky grin at him, then a friendlier smile at you. "You're my roommate, aren't you?" she says, nodding her head in the direction of your dorm. "What are you standing there for? I want to get to know you!" She sounds about twice as cheerful as Jack acts. "I was told about your arrival almost three whole months ago, so the wait has been long enough."

"...You're Juno?" you ask, making memory of the list handed over to you just a few hours ago.

She nods, eyes softening. "(Y/N), right? It's... nice to have a herbivore who won't look for a change of dorms the second she sees me."

Already feeling guilty, you can only hope she hadn't heard you earlier ago. It was a known fact you tended to speak without thinking sometimes (if not, most of the time), so you make a mental note out of it and set up a goal to improve on that throughout the rest of the year. You thank Jack and say your goodbyes before following her into the room.

At the sound of the door closing, you breathe a sigh of relief with the knowledge you've made it this far without screwing up too badly. The next thing in mind is to try sparking up some conversation, but only when you make enough mental preparation for it -- aware your thoughts might run haywire and tactless again. "But... Why would they do that? Isn't it normal at this school?"

Juno shows you around the room and stops next to one of the beds, bottom one being the only one out of all the others around to have some of her possessions settled down on it. "It's allowed," she replies and continues with, "And though it's not too uncommon for both carnivores and herbivores to be placed together... Things got a lot more tense after a student's passing." Her ears droop along with her tail, and a hint of gloom clashes with her friendly demeanor. "That's why you're the only other woman in this room, and why I…" Her body shudders as she lets out a breath. "Why I try not to walk alone in the halls anymore." She takes another breath and lets it out with a huff. A hushed swoon then seems to take her over, replacing her sadness about as quickly as her ears go back up. "Although... I guess I wouldn't have met someone wonderful, if some students hadn't cornered me for being a carnivore not long after I arrived here."

The wolf sighs, then faces you with droopy eyelids and a softer smile. "Tell me, (Y/N)... Have you ever fallen in love? It's the most incredible feeling I can describe!" She sits down on the bottom bed, though she scoots aside, leaving you some space next to her. "They say your last year at school's the last chance you have for experiencing an emotion so strong, but I like to believe it will carry on as long as your love is powerful enough for it!"

While you're a bit lost as to what point she's trying to make, you smile and nod along as you wait for her to continue speaking.

After all, having two friends at the beginning of your final school year didn't sound like a bad idea. Hopefully, your lonely days would start to change; your conversation with Jack and your current one with Juno have been -- without much exaggeration -- the most interaction you've had during all your eighteen years of living. Knowing you were finally free to meet as many people as you'd want as well as study over brand-new things and the relationships between both kinds made your worries and doubts more than worthwhile. No matter how often your family and distant acquaintances warned you otherwise, you needed to grow, learn, explore, and see more outside what was taught to you at home.

You hear Juno out until she asks if you have a special someone yourself; the question turns out to be a bit of a difficult one to answer with how little people you knew to this day. So far, the only experience you remember similar to that of having a crush on someone was by reading stories of adventure and challenge when you were younger. All of these were confiscated by your family whenever you gained too many ideas, fell for a character, or whenever a book so much as mentioned the word carnivore between its pages -- in a light aside from that of hostile and negative.

Although it feels like nothing short of wishful thinking, you hope your current circumstances change soon with the new path being offered out to you; in that, you carry a strong and unshakable desire over.

And, who knows?

Maybe one day you'd be able to sneak out and watch the night sky, too -- and with a friend or two by your side, preferably.

"I don't, but…" You trail off to consider her question; overwhelmed by the changes and influenced by her energetic self, you find it hard not to follow along with her. "I wouldn't mind having one -- if that opportunity ever came around!"

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT for:

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

Rewrite in Progress. Will Return on Late July 2021! (UPDATE: It's now out, and you can find it here!)

Hello!

As mentioned, I've chosen to rewrite this story now that my writing style has improved and evolved to one I'm much more happy and proud of.

••• I will be posting a Quotev poll and sharing the link through here (down in the comments) by tomorrow! Answering it can help me decide on some of the details for the rewrite, so stay tuned if you're interested to see WUaNS's return. 😄 •••

The plotline will remain the same, but the chapters will be made longer and more detailed. Also, instead of the usual word count of 1 to 1.5k, the rewritten chapters will be 1.5 to 2.5k words long. Not only that, but I'll be posting some short one-shots and drabbles I made for Pride Month, featuring cute moments between the reader and Juno, plus Haru -- and while following the current plotline, too!

The story will also be divided into 5 arcs. Currently, we're on the 2nd arc (the 1st one ended when Juno was rescued), meaning there are 3 more arcs for all 5 main love interests to develop a relationship with the reader, and then we'd proceed onto the endings for each one.

With all that being said, here are a few reasons as to why I've chosen to rewrite this story:

1. As mentioned previously, I'm much more happy and proud of my current writing style -- those who've read the old version of Fairytale Complex know what I mean with that!

2. I've been battling with my physical health for the past year and a half, so that brought a huge delay in plenty of aspects -- such as college, personal and family matters, mental health, hobbies, and all that. Now that I'm doing better, I've been slowly but surely getting back on track with everything, writing hobby included. :-)

3. In the midst of writing this story and all the others, I've come out (on the internet, not irl) as trans. Accepting that part of myself came with changes in my perspective as well as in my personal tastes, since I'm much more true to myself now.

Those are 3 of the main reasons why this story along with a few others went into a sudden and long break.

With that being said, take care, stay safe, and see you real soon, y'all!

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Ten, Scene Two | They Met

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

Legoshi follows behind while Jack continues to lead the way, serving as a barrier were someone to attack you from behind. A note waits for you the second you step out into the garden, waiting near the bed of flowers you'd helped Haru with the day a heavy rain began to fall. Just like the note at the library, you refrain from touching it at first, though it's hard not to with how messy the handwriting is; it's from the same person though, as it still carries the same style, but with a bit of rush present in its strokes. Whoever the person writing these letters was, they must've had to take an early leave from their plans, a point proven when Legoshi stops guarding you from behind.

"That scent," he says, eyes wandering to the garden shed, "It's familiar." He takes a few steps forward until getting closer to the building, stopping as he continues with, "There's someone hiding in there. Stay back."

Having said that, the wolf takes the lead and stays on guard while Jack helps him out, standing beside him as back up. Haru tugs you close while you wait, but it's not until her hold turns stronger on you that you realize she's trying to grab your attention. You turn to her and see a frown on her face, matching with the concern in Legoshi's voice.

"I… I think I know who it is," she says, letting you go. "But I'm not sure why he'd do this."

Though you don't quite understand who she's referring to, one look at her face and the glossy sheen to her eyes lets you know that person is, or at least used to be someone important to her. You hug her while you wait and let go when you hear some rustling from nearby. A shrub begins to shake and from behind it, a shadow emerges, taking the two canines busy guarding the shed by surprise.

"So the two of you have also come," the voice says, clearly familiar to both the wolf and the bunny based on how their gazes widen. Jack is the only one who stays neutral, and so do those waiting near the garden when you decide to glance back at them, Dom who raises his hand as if to give you encouragement. "You'll be my next target if you continue this way, Jack."

The mentioned canine shows surprise through a faint gasp and his posture straightening up, yet he tries to hold himself back, glaring at the darkness before him.

"Why?" he asks, words as dry as your throat feels.

The stranger chuckles, taking a step back to further blur into the background. "Wolves are usually more straightforward, unlike mutts like you. I wouldn't be surprised if all that friendliness you're showing with (Y/N) results in her being your prey." There's a pause, one where you feel the pace of your heart quicken. "It's a shame I'm trying to do what's best for both ends, yet I still receive nothing but resistance."

You glare at the shadows, shrug Haru back, and stand beside Jack, saying, "So you took Juno away for my own good?" You take a step closer, though you're stopped by Jack holding your wrist. "Did you think she'd hurt me?"

"I don't think; I know."

A tall and slim figure shows up as the person finally takes a step forward, yet that's as much as you're able to see beyond the darkness. The wolf next to you tries to see past it and lets his failure known with a frown. "...I can't even track him by scent anymore," he mutters, droopy ears matching with the defeat in his voice. "If it's really him, he came prepared."

"It was only a matter of time before she lost her temper," the voice continues, making you face back to it. "Or did you forget what she said about your bleat? Did you really think she found it 'cute', or are you going to be realistic and accept she viewed you as inferior then?"

"She's my friend," you persist, taking a step closer when Jack lets go of you. "And I want to know where she is." You take another step and clench your hands into fists. "I don't care if it's a risk. For now, I… I trust her, and I want to keep being in the same dorm as her."

The figure disappears again and silence stays for a long while.

"Alright," the voice says, letting out another laugh. "If you insist, I'll give her back to you. But let this be known, (Y/N): it's not over yet. If you want to continue with this charade, then so be it, but prepare to be the knight and saviour of all your friends in a while."

More rustling sounds as the person disappears completely from your sight. Barely a moment passes before muffled noises and someone's voice can be heard coming from inside the shed, followed up by the door opening with a loud creak.

Bright lights blind you with how dark everything else is, and you're prompted to rub your eyes to recover from it. When you do, you can hear collective gasps and murmurs from everyone around you, the reason behind their reactions being what waits for you by the open door: another note, but far more important: someone familiar with a bag over her head, knelt right next to the note.

You rush to her side and take off the bag before anything else, needing to see her face after so long. Gloomy eyes greet you when you reveal her face, and these don't take long to change for surprise when she looks away from her lap to meet with your gaze. She throws herself on you and attempts to bring you into a hug, though her hands restrict her, these tied back behind her.

"Hold still," you murmur, moving behind her to begin with the process.

You start by untying her hands first and move on over to her legs next. It's even more tedious to work with than you originally anticipated it to be, anxiety making your hands shake as you try to undo the knots one by one.

Jack goes to read the note while Haru searches for gardening tools to help you with untying. Meanwhile, Legoshi stays back with those who'd accompanied you in case backup was deemed necessary. He escorts a few to their dorms along the way, and some team up with others to make the process go by faster.

The more you begin to deal with the knots and ropes keeping Juno restricted, the further you begin to worry over your choice and if you'd made the right one. Making friends with her had resulted in her being held captive, tied up, and thrown into a garden shed. What had at first been vague warnings and threats are now full-fledged worries, these turning worse when you finish untying both her arms and legs to reveal harsh rope burns. Only her snout's left, though you can already feel yourself tensing at the thought of it being just as damaged as the rest of her body.

"...I'm sorry, Juno."

Mouth still restricted, you can only hear some muffled sentences from her part, these given meaning when she pulls herself off the floor, winces, and pulls you against her, hugging you tight.

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Summary:

Act One - Man's Best Friend

[Act Two Link]

While it makes sense your first encounter would be with anyone but a beast, the person giving you a tour isn't prey either, but more of a happy medium between the two: a dog. Not quite a carnivore and not quite a herbivore, he's what you learned to be an omnivore, a kind you were often taught to be wary of just as much as a wolf or a tiger. Even so, his presence is about as warm and welcoming as sunrays on a cold, winter day, and you find it hard not to smile when he continues to show you around the place, stopping when he sees he's left you far behind. His excitement is one you wish you could manifest just as much as him, though reminders of how you had to behave at this school make you hold yourself back.

Now that you were eighteen and close to graduating, your parents had given you three simple rules to follow: never step out of campus at night, never join acting, and never show daintiness. All of them were nevers, not single space for protest left in those rules. You already knew the consequences of going out at night and letting any sort of bubbly nature out. Being forbidden to join acting was by far the only thing they hadn't explained to you.

"(Y/N)? Are you okay?"

Jack's call brings you out of your line of thought, how concerned he looks making you take note of the face you're making. Often, you scrunched up your snout and furrowed your brow whenever you got lost in thought. To any outsider, it would seem as if you're perturbed by something, so you hurry, words leaving you in a rush, "I'm fine," you reply, smile returning. "...Just got caught up with something else."

"Nervous about staying here?"

"About everything, honestly."

He manages to laugh at that, eyes brightening as he motions for you to follow him again, your next destination appearing to be the rooms, judging by the rows of doors, along with one left open and a bed in the background. There's a student by a dresser, combing her fur without so much as bothering to look at you, too focused on her brushing to notice the door's been left open. With her being a wolf though, you assume she's confident in herself, at the very least based on the rumors your parents and every other family member taught to you.

You freeze when you realize Jack's made a stop right at that door, gesturing with his head for you to walk in.

"Is this allowed?" you blurt out, rushing to cover up not a moment after that question leaves your mouth. "I-"

"It's okay," he intervenes, laughing again. "The principal told me you were homeschooled, so if you have any questions about how things work here, you're free to ask me! And you can come over to my place if you need more help with showing you around."

"Bold of you to invite a girl into the boys' dorm." A feminine voice comes from behind Jack, the wolf from before appearing behind him. "You're my roommate, aren't you?" She smiles, nodding with her head over to the room. "What are you standing there for? I want to get to know you! I was told about your arrival almost three whole months ago, so the wait has been long enough."

"...You're Juno?" you ask, making memory of the list handed over to you just a few hours ago.

She nods, eyes softening. "(Y/N), right? It's nice to have a herbivore who won't ask for a change the second she sees me."

Guilty, you can only hope she hadn't heard you earlier ago. You thank Jack before following her into the room, speaking up when you make sufficient mental preparation for it, thoughts running wild again. "...Why would they do that? Isn't it normal at this school?"

"It's allowed, and though it's not too uncommon for carnivores and herbivores to be placed together, things got a lot more tense after a student's passing." Her ears droop, a hint of gloom clashing with her friendly demeanor. "It's why you're the only other person in this room, and why I try not to walk alone in the halls anymore." She breathes in deep and lets it go afterwards, a swoon seeming to take her over, replacing her sadness. "Although... I guess I wouldn't have met someone wonderful if some students hadn't cornered me for being a carnivore not long after I arrived here."

Juno sighs, facing you with droopy eyelids and a softer smile. "Tell me, (Y/N)... Have you ever fallen in love? It's the most wonderful feeling I can describe!"

She sits down on the bottom bed, though she scoots aside, leaving you space next to her. "They say your last year at school's the last chance you have for experiencing a feeling so strong, but I like to believe it will carry on as long as your love's strong enough for it!"

While you're a bit lost as to what point she's trying to make, you smile, nodding as you wait for her to continue speaking. After all, having two friends at the start of your final school year didn't sound like a bad idea. Hopefully, your lonely days would start to change, your conversation with Jack and your current one with Juno the most interaction you'd had during all your eighteen years of life. Knowing you were finally free to meet as many people as you'd want as well as learn over brand new things and the relationships between beast and prey made your worries and doubts more than worthwhile.

You hear Juno out until she asks if you have a special someone yourself, the question an awkward one based on how little people you knew. So far, the only experience you remember similar to that of having a crush on someone was by reading stories of adventure and challenge when you were younger, these confiscated by your parents whenever you got too many ideas, fell for a character, or whenever a book so much as mentioned the word carnivore between its pages in a light beyond that of hostile and negative.

Wishfully, circumstances would change soon with this new path being offered out to you; in that you carried strong and unshakable hopes over.

And, who knows? Maybe one day you'd sneak out to watch the night sky, too.

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Nine, Scene Two | Goes Around

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

You can feel something’s wrong the moment that sentence clicks in your mind. Scarily on point, you hear commotion near the drama club’s exit, the chatter of those outside turned to murmurs with how far you are from them. From the distance where you stand, you see a bunch of students weary with practice, some stretching and others in groups, all of them talking. The wolf and the bunny follow you when you set off to the group gathered outside, attempting to stop you; he tries to hold you back by calling out for you while she grabs at your arm.

“You look pale,” Haru mentions, stopping you. A frown and a furrow make up most of her face and her ears match with the worry in her voice. “And if that note's not a prank or anything meant to scare you off, it's just a warning. Don’t rush yourself yet, (Y/N).”

Despite her well-meaning words, you can’t help feeling as if there's something wrong and you find it necessary to continue, explaining your doubts to her in the process. “Something feels off,” you say, frowning. The bunny keeps her grip on you even as you continue walking; the wolf, contrarily, stays back, only following the two of you when he sees you don’t plan on giving up on your hunch anytime soon. “From the very moment the drama club got held up, I felt something was wrong. I have to go check and see if I'm right."

Haru lets go when you say that and stands next to Legoshi while you make it to the group of students standing closest to you, these who stop talking to face you.

“Did… Did something happen?” you ask, breaking the ice.

Luckily enough, one of the four people present's familiar to you. The other three present have seen you around sufficient times for their gazes to acknowledge you and soothe their built-up tension away with smiles. Said expressions vanish quickly though, and it’s concern's turn to appear next.

“The lights went out for a moment,” Dom says, wringing his hands together as he shifts on his feet. “Then a student went missing, so now we're hoping to get some sort of closure before we leave this place for today.” Before you can say anything, he continues with, “And even though it’s, well... strange it’s not the usual type we hear bad news about, I’m…” He hesitates, the wait worsening your concern. “I’m not sure you’ll be able to handle this, (Y/N).”

The world surrounding you becomes a blur to focus instead on the peafowl in front of you. With a breath in and another out, you straighten your posture and clench your hands; a rapid pulse controls your heart, fueling anxiety. “Please tell me who it is,” you say, feeling your voice waver just as much as your hands begin to shake. “Did... Did you guys find a note or something like that? I-”

“Yes!” A sheep intervenes, her height just a bit higher than yours and wool a lighter colour compared to your own. She pockets something out of her bag and turns it in, elaborating what that means with, “...We found it next to Juno’s bag.”

You don’t need to read the note to know who the peafowl’d refused to name out loud for you; the paper you’re holding almost ends up on the floor, just like last time. Dom steps in right on time, fanning you with a hand as he tries to calm you down. “Read the note first,” he suggests, voice far more calmer than normal, but with a shaky edge to it nonetheless, “And please, breathe. You… You look fainter than when you got here!" You can feel the sheep hold you still while Dom carries on fanning you.

Feeling (somewhat) better now, you take the note again and read through it quick, holding your breath all the while.

“Remember who you are. Don’t forget your place,” it reads, “If you want her back, then I’d suggest leaving the hybrid dorms and asking to be moved back to where you belong.”

Against yourself, the note ends up crushed in your hand, yet you calm yourself down, those surrounding you aiding with the process. “She’s safe, but… But only for so long.”

The sheep takes the paper back from your hold and nods for you to move along. Dom does the same, pointing with his eyes over to Haru and Legoshi, both who’re still waiting for you nearby. It’s apparent they’ve made some progress, too, based on the looks on their faces and another group of students waving goodbye at them. They walk away, leaving the pair alone again.

“Go ahead,” Dom urges, ushering for you to join their side. “And I know this might seem difficult to do, but… Keep your cool, (Y/N). I’ll try to look for more clues while you guys do your own thing.”

You frown and clench your hands again, anger and distress conflicting with your calm. “Ca... Can’t I just do as the note says?” The words feel sillier being said out loud, yet you convince yourself there’s no shame in trying.

“We could give it a shot, but I'm afraid it won’t be a quick procedure, even for an emergency like this one,” he replies, almost imitating your frown. “Our safest bet is to look for clues while we get a response.” He gives your shoulder a soft squeeze and a smile returns to his face, about as warm as the sun beginning to set. “Chin up, alright?"

In spite of the situation, Dom's encouragement helps greatly with managing your stress. You do as he says and hold your head up high, calming your pulse and the shakiness of your body. "Alright." You sigh and face him with a smile. "Thank you."

Silence befalls as he nods, giving space for you to focus on the matter at hand. It's impossible not to worry, as he so mentioned himself, though you feel more confident, a feeling that increases when you make it to Haru and Legoshi's side. They smile at you when you meet with their eyes, and the wolf takes initiative by stepping forward, awkwardness kept back through the subtle hunch in his posture and his hands hidden in his front pockets.

"I think I know where we can start looking," he says, finally breaking into a smile, however faint. "Where was the last time you hung out with her?"

While the question's odd and could use a bit more elaboration, another thought pops into your mind, revealing itself through the sudden burst of your voice.

"The- The library!" you shout, the rest of your body preparing itself for a run.

Legoshi joins you when you take off and Haru follows right after him.

Just the sight alone of having two other people to help you out makes your worries lessen, exchanging them for strength and willpower.

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Seven | Lamb vs. Sheep

[Act One Link] | [Act Six, Scene Three Link] | [Act Eight, Scene One Link]

"Want me to wait for you?" Jack asks, standing by the door frame. "Juno told me what happened."

You look up from your bag, putting a halt to organizing it to face him. "She did?" Your words come off more surprised than you wish them to, curiosity remaining as to what she could've possibly said to him. Nonetheless, you wait and continue packing up, faster now that the offer of being waited for's surged up. "Want me to wait for you?" Jack asks, standing by the door frame. "Juno told me what happened."

"She was worried about you," he adds after a nod, concern replacing his smile with a frown. "But she didn't say much about it, just that you were attacked last time." He approaches you, crouching next to you as he helps you with your books. "Are you sure you're okay? You were really quiet today, and I think even Dom noticed the difference today."

"I was naive," you blurt out, sighing as you set a book down and clutch onto the skirt of your uniform, letting out your stress through it. "I forgot about the dangers around me, and I... I got too comfortable too quickly."

There's a hint of gloom present in the canine's eyes, one he covers up by managing another smile. "I'm not gonna pressure you into telling me anything," he says, offering you a hand as soon as he gets back on his feet. You accept it, the weight of your bag being a little more heavier today. While you'd managed to come out scar free from the incident, fear still remained in your thoughts, resulting in your subconscious wanting to lessen your trips to the library. "But," he speaks up again, smile growing. "I'm sure Legoshi could help with that better." A chuckle bursts through, a hint of nervousness heard from it. "Maybe it's not the wisest advice to keep telling you to make friends with people like us, but I'm sure you can open up to him better for this kind of thing."

"Does he…" You consider your words, against making them sound too intrusive. "So you're saying he has more experience on the subject?"

Jack nods, waiting for you to exit the library for him to close the door. You follow him, walking right beside him, steps quick despite you reassuring yourself you were safe. "A lot more than me, that's for sure." You wait for him when you realize you're going faster than he is. He notices and covers up a laugh, continuing the conversation when you make it back. "I can tag along tomorrow with you two, if you don't feel safe."

You stop walking, making him be the next one to dial back on his steps. A furrow shows on your gaze as you face him, unsure how to voice out what's on your mind. "It- It's fine! I like being around you guys, so it's no big deal, but..." You stop yourself, already regretting your words. "Juno, she…" You hesitate, biting on your bottom lip to keep your voice from shaking. "She…" Her confession after rescuing you feels too personal for you to say it out loud. You bite back your tongue, sighing your defeat.

"She likes you, doesn't she?"

"What?"

You almost sputter that question out with how sudden of a blow his words are. You can feel your face grow warm, reminding you of yesterday night. His words had been about as much of a surprise as having Juno flirt with you back then. Composure returns with the help of him elaborating his question better, adding more context to it. "It's nice to see you two got along well so quickly. It's only been a month, hasn't it?" He faces your side, a hint of melancholy present in his eyes. "I still remember the day you found out you'd be rooming in with her." He laughs, beaming afterwards. "Your face back then was really something, (Y/N)."

You're almost at your dorm, though you stop for a moment, not quite ready to end the conversation yet. More questions than answers fill up your mind, and curiosity and confusion have only managed to heighten. You want to hold him back for a minute more, yet the bell rings, signaling it's about time to wrap things up and be making way to your dorm. "Jack," you call out, halting him with the tug of his arm. "Could we talk more later?" He looks down at you, agreement already showing on his face. "Even if you say you don't have much experience on what happened... You're still my friend, and talking with you still helped a lot."

You let his arm go when you see him tense up, a bit of embarrassment showing on his face. "Sure," he mutters; a harrumph covers him up, allowing him to ease out more. "I-"

Before Jack can say anything, you give him a quick hug, letting go as quickly as it happens. "Thank you!" You smile at the canine and fix your hold on your bag to wave at him, confident. "See you tomorrow."

Slowly, he nods, bringing a hand to the back of his neck and using his free one to wave back at you. "See you tomorrow."

You glance a look back to him one final time before knocking on the door of your dorm, opening it when you receive no response. The inside reveals your bunk beds and belongings, though Juno's nowhere to be seen. Being the only two girls so far in the hybrid dorms made it easier for you to notice when something was wrong or different, yet everything seems intact; right where you left it.

"Juno?" you call out. It's odd for her not to be around at this hour, though judging it's only been a month since you've known her and everyone around, you don't discard the possibility of her having other plans. Worry over her being in trouble rises, but the reminder of her being a wolf makes you ponder as to what kind of trouble she could be in.

Was it the person from yesterday?

Or was it bullying by other students, as she'd once mentioned?

When you hear a knock on the door, all worries are set aside, and you peek outside to see her waiting, calm and collected. You're the opposite of her, bursting the door open to receive her with a hug, much more stronger and longer-lasting than the one you'd given Jack. Fear and worry over things going wrong make you break and show the weaknesses your family had warned you about showing.

You don't care about that now though, the relationships you've formed and the experiences you've lived with them deeming these necessary of gratitude. Acting too soft for who you were didn't matter at the moment. For now, you were just glad the wolf was alright and that you could still have her safe by your side.

She hugs you back, surprise taking her a while to bring strength over the embrace. "Is this our new way of greeting each other?" she teases, giggling.

Letting go, you look down and shake your head, replying with, "No." You face her and smile, relieved to see her in good shape. "...I was just worried something happened to you."

Juno returns your smile with a grin, and her hand reaches out for you. "Shouldn't that be my line?" she asks, ruffling the top of your head. "Either way, I'm happy you're safe, (Y/N). I felt the same yesterday... But I didn't expect you'd act that way with me, too."

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Six, Scene Three | Blooming Butterflies

[Act One Link] | [Act Six, Scene Two Link] | [Act Seven]

You gather all your courage and prepare yourself for a retreat. "What can you prove with that, if you don't even dare to show your face?" you shout, narrowing your eyes and frowning at the person, still hidden. "Maybe I am an easy prey, but at least she's being honest about her feelings!"

At the sight of the person staying in place, you do the same and wait, bracing yourself for whatever followed. You see them smile again, and they take a while to respond. Tension sticks to the air, making breathing difficult to do. "Suit yourself," they say, backing away. "In the end, this was simply a warning; a way to be nice with you and give you a chance to survive. But if you refuse to take my advice, I'll leave." You can see the person wave right before they disappear completely from your sight. "You won't be shown mercy next time."

Their footsteps fade as so does the heavy atmosphere. A sense of uneasiness remains, though you're able to brush it off when Juno tugs at your arm, bringing your attention to her. "Just to be sure," she says, her voice a whisper, "Let's make a run for it." She grabs you tight and pulls you with her in a direction opposite to where your persecutor once stood by. Her steps are quick but tense, as if disturbed by the experience.

You make an effort to catch up with the wolf, brushing her hand away to jog right by her side. At first, she looks concerned over the separation, though she eases in when she sees you catching up with her. "Thank you," you manage to say, in between breaths. Notwithstanding how much exercise you'd done at home, you're slower than Juno, having to use most of your stamina in keeping up with her. The entrance of your dorm can be seen from afar, the open door and the lights revealing she'd left in a rush.

"What… What made you go look for me?"

By the time you ask that question, you're already at the foot of your dorm. The wolf takes extra caution by looking around and sniffing the room before entering. You expect an answer when she turns to you, though what you get is another grab at your arm, gentle enough not to scare you back into letting out another cry. You're pulled into the room, sat on your bed, and cornered into place, hands on your shoulders keeping you from doing anything or getting anywhere. "You have a routine, don't you?" she asks, serious. "When I checked the time and saw you weren't around, I grew worried."

Her voice breaks subtly by those last words, though she covers it up by letting you go and turning around. She crosses her arms and looks elsewhere, concentrating more on the floor than anything else. "Rumors about you being my friend eventually distorted so that now people think you're vulnerable, simply because of our friendship." She uncrosses them and approaches your side again, taking a seat down next you. "And while you do have a lot to learn, I wouldn't believe for a minute our relationship makes you weak." The wolf takes a pause, ears drooping as she frowns. "Maybe it sounds selfish of me to say this, but…" She grabs your hands, tugging at them for you to face her. "I believe what we have means something good, and I would like to help you grow stronger through it."

Her approach, while bringing closeness and a flip to your stomach, is responded to by squeezing her hands back. You smile and nod, not wanting to pull away just yet. A brighter look returns to her face, ears going back to their normal state as she grins, letting go to ruffle up the top of your head. "Now that we're through with that," she says, a grimmer tone returning to her voice, contrasting with her smile. "Are you okay?" Her eyes inspect you from head to toe, jolting from one place to the other. "Hurt anywhere?"

You let out a laugh and shake your head. "Just my voice from what happened back at the library." For emphasis, you reach a hand for your neck and trace your fingers across it. "Might just have a sore throat by tomorrow morning."

At the feeling of a hand being placed under your chin, right over your own, you feel your heart stop. Your stomach twists again and your eyes meet with hers to see a foreign expression in them, one you're not quite sure what to label it as. "Be more careful next time," she says, maintaining eye contact with you. "Your voice is too lovely to let it strain like that."

Silence follows after her words.

You begin to panic, though you try not to let it show on your face. Regardless of your efforts, Juno notices and lets go, hurrying to correct herself. "Sorry about that." A faint red stains her cheeks and her eyes turn wide, both she tries to contain, only to fail when she continues with her words. "That was too sudden, wasn't it?" she asks, still shocked. "With what you went through, I bet you forgot all about our plans this evening, didn't you?"

It takes you some time to process her questions, mind having gone through a full shutdown the second she placed her hand under your chin. Your throat feels tight, complicating your breaths as you try to seek composure. Her words were true: you'd completely forgotten about the whole flirting plans you had today, and you'd been stricken by her closeness. Despite it all, you manage to snap back to the present and give Juno an answer. "It's fine," you blurt out, bringing forth a smile. "Y- You just, well... surprised me."

Wanting to break the silence and awkwardness left over, you gather wit and speak up again, "...Though it makes sense someone as beautiful as you would leave me speechless."

Roles reversed, it's now her turn to react. Embarrassment returns to her face, yet she deals with it quicker and more efficiently than you. Soon, giggles burst from her mouth as they later turn to full-on laughter, joy present in that sound. "That was great," she howls, composing herself. "That was… That was even more adorable than your bleat!"

You can only smile as you wait for her to recover, the genuine notes to her laughter helping break the ice and make things go back to normal. "Should we leave it for tomorrow?" you ask, holding back the urge to let your smile grow. "I don't want to trouble you anymore than I have already."

She recovers, sobering up completely with a deep breath in and another out. "Y- Yes," she replies, breaking down into giggles again. "I'm honestly going to have to prepare myself if you're going to be such a dork, (Y/N)."

Feigning hurt, you hold a hand to your chest and gasp. "Hey!" Then, you take your pillow and swat her with it, making her laughter burst and worsen again. "I'm not a dork, Juno!"

"Then I'm afraid you'll have to prove that to me next time," she retorts, words a challenge.

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Six, Scene Two | Fight or Flight

[Act One Link] | [Act Six, Scene One Link] | [Act Six Scene Three Link]

Your hopes over maintaining a routine are put to the test the moment after you're done studying for the day.

The library's locked, door refusing to so much as budge with your attempts at using force. With the others having parted ways from you more than an hour ago, you're left on your own, with no other choice but to look outside the window to see the hallways, these scarce of illumination and with not a person around as far as your line of sight goes.

Fearing you've been locked in, you try to open the door again, though you stop yourself at the sound of laughter, heard from outside. "A month," the voice says, chuckling. "That's all it took for you to become the 'next one'." You back away from the door, remaining cautious regardless of not seeing the person anywhere around. "I'm positive the next paper's headline will be enough to make everyone remember this isn't over yet. You've grown far too comfortable already, (Y/N)."

Fear pushes you to rummage through your bag, mind desperate to find any source of safety from its contents. From it, you retrieve a pocket knife and make sure everything's set in place to avoid being delayed, if the event of defending yourself really came to it. Wherever the person was, they were still outside, and whoever they were, they clearly intended to toy around with you before lashing out any sort of attack.

"First a wolf and a rabbit, and now a wolf and a lamb?" Another laugh's let out, this one louder than the last. "I can understand why many still refer to you as a lamb rather than a sheep." A pause follows, sending a shiver down your body. "Sheep are supposed to be more grown and experienced, something you're not, little lamb."

Thunk.

Your gaze snaps to the noise, sounding near the voice, though there's nothing or nobody around by the time you look towards it.

Swallowing your tension, you hold onto the strap of your bag tighter than before and clutch the knife closer to you. The rule of never going out at night seems useless with your current situation, it still being five in the evening and your location the library. What makes the halls dark and brings your life to peril is having no lights turned on and being left alone to fend off whoever the owner behind the voice is. Had you known something like this would've been so close to happening, you would've followed Jack and the others not a second after they all gathered to leave.

Never go out at night.

What sense did that warning make now?

You're inside a library, and it's still evening!

That question stays on your mind as the thumps grow louder, these sending your thoughts into a scramble as you try to make sense of what could be producing them. While you weren't outside, you were alone and were still getting accustomed to how big the school was. If anything, the rule you'd been taught could use a little more wording now. Perhaps, 'have common sense; don't be dumb or negligent or both, and remember not to walk alone in unknown places', sounded better than simply isolating yourself from the world as soon as the sun fell and the clock struck seven.

Thunk!

As a figure emerges into the library, your instincts kick in and you bleat out your fear, a sound you try to cover with a hand over your mouth while the rest of your body looks for a place to hide in. You go under the nearest table and blink away through blurry vision, tears unknowingly making their way out. Your breathing's shallow, yet you try to compose yourself to see who the person is.

Rather than figuring out their identity, something near impossible to do with you tearing up and having fear eat up your vision, you hear laughter; muffled giggles, specifically.

"I- I'm sorry," you hear Juno say, sounding genuinely apologetic despite her laughter. When you blink a few more times, you can see her clutching onto her stomach and her tail wagging. She has tears in her eyes, too, though for an entirely different reason compared to you. "I thought I'd go look for you since it was so late already, but I didn't exactly consider our situation here." She wipes her tears away and looks across the room, snout twitching as she sniffs around for you. "And I'm sorry to say this at a time like this, but that bleat was the cutest thing I've heard all day!" You tense and brace yourself when she nears your hiding place, involuntarily. "Hiding was good thinking, though, (Y/N)."

A few more sniffs, and she finally crouches down to your hiding level. Her eyes soften the second she sees you, a hand offered to you. "Can you stand?" she asks, still waiting. "I didn't mean to scare you."

Still shaken, you stare at her hand for a moment and bring your breaths back to a calmer level. You wipe yours against your skirt, leftover fear still making you perspire. She waits all the while, even after you take her hand and nod in response. "I'm... I'm okay," you reply, breathing out. "It was my fault." Your voice is stern, the plain risk you'd set yourself to one you remind yourself could've been easily avoided, had you been more conscious of the dangers that were still around. Common sense would've implied you not being alone for longer than necessary and having chosen to follow Jack back to your dorm. "I… I should've known it would be risky to be all alone like this." You can't bring yourself to tell her about the voice, wanting nothing more than to be out of this place and explain things to her after you regained some sense of clarity back into your thoughts. "I should've been more careful."

You let her hand go and fix your clothes, skirt having stained itself in the process of your hiding. Your throat hurts, though it's to be expected, given how long it's been since you last strained your vocal chords. Last time, you were only eight, and it was for you having snuck out and chosen to meet up with the neighbouring tiger family a few blocks across. Back then, you were more fearless, and the only reason for your fright had been due to you being caught in the way of making it back home unsuspecting.

"Still," Juno speaks up, bringing you out of those thoughts. "I forgot how careful we have to be now." She frowns, her entire body drooping as she meets with your eyes. "I almost forgot what we are. I… I almost forgot we were wolf and sheep, until I heard your cry and noticed it was let out of fear, not just surprise."

You gather your belongings again and follow her out of the library, steps slowed down to keep up with her pace. She's looking away from you now, gaze meeting with the little lighting left around the halls. Quiet falls as you wait for her to carry on, feeling as if she still has a lot more left to say. "Before I realized what I'd done, that sound was the most endearing thing I'd heard. But then I saw you weren't around, sniffed the air for you, and the gravity over what I'd done finally came to me."

Seeing she's lost herself in her thoughts, you tug at the sleeve of her shirt and try to voice out what's on your mind, "It's... It's really okay, Juno. Like I said, it was-"

Your questions over where the voice had come from are answered when you both stumble upon a new face, identity hidden by the poor lighting in where they stand. The wolf beside you snaps back to the present almost instantly, fur spiking as she bares her teeth at the figure. She takes a few steps back and pulls you along for you to do the same. Then, she holds your hand again, tighter as a growl leaves her mouth.

When you see she's not intending to ask over the person's identity, it's then that you realize her reason for looking for you had been more than just to pick you up at the library.

"So you thought you were 'one of them', huh?" the person asks, toothy smile glinting into view with the scarce lighting that shines over the person. "That's the most naive thing I've heard any carnivore say." Though it's too dark to see most of their face, you can tell when their eyes fall on you, making you grow more wary than you already are. "And you," they add, a laugh following after it. "What made you think you were ready for this school, if you let out a noise like that barely a month into you moving in? With that attitude, you're the easiest prey around, (Y/N)!"

Juno's hand loosens and moves up to your arm, grabbing it just as strongly. "Let's go," she whispers, teeth still clenched.

You hesitate, mind conflicted on whether to follow her along or confront the person over their words. The ones about you being negligent were noted and accepted, but calling out Juno for simply seeing you as her friend makes anger rise and cling onto your thoughts. Fear balances itself with a sudden need to defend, and you can only face at the person with a glare, the hand on your arm reminding you over the growing danger of your situation.

Whoever the person before you was, it didn't exactly erase the fact you were pissed off at those words, Juno's good intentions resonating with you.

Apologies for the author's note on the last update! I got my IRL schedule mixed up and thought it was Wednesday instead of Monday when I posted the chapter, so that conflicted with this story’s update schedule mentioned previously. (AKA: The holidays left me unaware of the concept of time, lol.)

As a result, I've fixed the author's note on the last chapter to avoid any future readers' confusion, and I’ve now fixed up and re-established the update schedule as such:

Twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays until reaching Act Twelve, then once a week on Wednesdays after that chapter!

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Six, Scene One | Making Plans

[Act One Link] | [Act Five Link] | [Act Six, Scene Two Link]

You're sitting with Juno again at a lunch table. Your tray's almost entirely empty by now, while the wolf's is barely halfway there. You don't want to be rude, so you try your best to slow down, however difficult it proves to be. Routines were your thing, meaning it's not much of a surprise for you to be looking forward to meeting up with Jack and his friends at the library a second time. It had been one full week since that day, and he'd brought up the suggestion to make it something regular through a phone call. Add in your daily, nightly chats with Juno in your dorm and the fact that Haru seemed okay with your company made you anticipate over finally having a regular routine to hold onto for your last year of school.

"Is there something on your mind?" the wolf asks, grinning at you when you meet with her eyes. "You're spacing out again."

You try not to grow too flustered when she gives you a knowing look, clearly still misinterpreting your actual intentions with the friends you've made so far. Dom and Jack were pretty welcoming and comfortable to be around with, and even the male wolf, while more reserved, didn't seem to mind getting along with you. Haru was a different story, mainly due to your awful first impression, but also for how spunky she was.

"I'm just going to the library later today," you reply, managing a faint smile. "I, um… I'm meeting with Jack, Dom, and Legoshi there after I'm done studying."

At the mention of that last name, Juno's eyes brighten and her tail shakes. It's clear she tries to hide her affection for the owner of that name, yet she fails the second she opens her mouth, her excitement almost overflowing from it, "You didn't tell me you've met that many people already!" She takes a bite from her meal, continuing when she's done, "When did you meet those other two? Did Jack introduce you to them?"

You nod and continue with your meal, still reminding yourself to eat slower when you bring the next bite to your mouth. "I was just studying, but then Jack came around and introduced me to them." Embarrassment makes its return when you look back on that day and how Dom had called you out on one of your choices. While a good seventy percent of the books you were working with were academic, the other thirty had been simply for entertainment. It was unfortunate the peafowl had discovered one of the more steamier reads amongst the bunch. "Everything went pretty well, but... but Dom, he... He found me out with something."

Hearing your stutter, Juno's grin grows and she emphasizes her curiosity by leaning closer over the table. "Care to tell me what is that 'something'?" Mischief glints in her gaze, intensified when she winks. "Did he tease you like I've been doing?" she taunts, giggling. "Your face right now looks just like the one you make when I start joking around with you!"

It's near impossible for you not to smile with how warm her words sound. She's enjoying herself, no doubt, though based on how she treats you, it's noticeable she means well. "He, w- well…" You breathe in and face down at your tray, needing a moment of distraction. "He found this book hidden with the other ones I had. You excuse yourself for a moment to pick up the books left aside by the floor, a bag holding them all in one place. Meekness overcomes you as you consider the risk of taking the book out in front of so many people, yet one look of encouragement from the wolf and another at how many people are watching allows you to find the needed courage for taking it out.

You act swiftly, handing it to Juno as quickly as you retrieve it.

""Old Friend, Old Soul'," she reads, analyzing the cover. It doesn't take long for her to bare her teeth into another grin, a laugh leaving her when her eyes lower. "'A thrilling romance?'" she asks, in between giggles. "You're so silly, (Y/N)! From what you were telling me, I was expecting a steamy romance, not an adventurous one!"

"Th- There's a difference?" you blurt out, face burning.

That only makes it worse, seeing her gaze light up more than before. "Did you really pick this one out, expecting it to be that instead?" Juno suspends herself over the table, using her free hand to give your shoulder a nudge. "You sneaky lamb! And yet here I was, thinking you were all oblivious to this kind of stuff!"

"Juno," you whisper, shushing her. "Y- You... People will notice!"

Worries over having attention brought upon you fade away when you see her dissolve into uncontrollable laughter. How honest she's being right now makes you smile back and let your tension go. You fold your hands over your lap and wait, smile tensing when she asks another question, "Be honest with me, (Y/N)," she says, composing herself to stare back at you. "Were you expecting this book to be more… risky?"

You nod once, quickly and hoping it to be enough for her not to notice. Regardless, she does, covering up another laugh. "Even though I've never been in a relationship before, I… I still know some of the basics, but not enough with how much my parents censored everything that had to do with romance or anything similar to it."

"Homeschool troubles rise yet again, huh?" the wolf questions, eyes half-lidded as she rests her chin over her hands. "Want to practice with me, then?"

Your eyes turn round, the bluntness of her question making you take it literally. Though by the time you think over her offer twice and see how she's looking at you, you're able to brush that off as her simply wanting to help you out. "Could you?" you ask, feeling your voice close to shaking. "How... How would we, though?"

"Easily enough!" With that exclamation, she stands up from her seat. A feat similar to when you first had lunch with her presents itself for a second time. "Later tonight, we'll practice flirting at our dorm." She's serious now, eyes narrowed as her lips turn firm. She means business, her apparent expertise over the topic manifesting itself over her body. "I'll be acting as whatever person you're interested in, and you'll be trying to flirt with me." The wolf takes a pause, her tail's fervent shaking lessening when she breathes in and later out. "Then, when that part's out of the way, I'll be flirting with you, to see how you respond!"

Suddenly, a hand's offered out to you, in wait for yours. "What do you say, (Y/N)? Sounds like a plan?" She finally breaks into a smile again, stoicism vanishing from her visage. "You have to promise me you'll put those skills to good use, though. I'm not training you for nothing!"

You stare at her hand, analyzing your options. Nervous, you gulp away your worries and make space for valiance in your mind. Then, you nod once, a more confident smile showing through. "Sounds… Sounds good," you exclaim, shaking her hand. "I'll do it!"

"Good answer!" she says, returning your smile.

Updates will be twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdays from here on until Act Twelve, so expect another update soon to make up for last Wednesday’s missed update!

Wish Upon a Night Sky - [Beastars | Various x Reader]

[Female, Sheep Reader | Slow Burn]

Act Twelve, Scene One | The Calm Before

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

It's a cold night.

The view of the darkening sky paired with Haru's garden create an image that makes all those nights spent cooped up inside the dorm seem like long-lost opportunities. Though it's a bit difficult to distinguish the stars from the strong lights of nearby buildings and lampposts, the ones that are visible make you center all your attention on them for a long, long while. Some of the more brightly coloured flowers almost shine under the darkness, and the wind makes your eyes close on their own, lulled by how gentle the sensation is. It's still early, yet it already feels strikingly different from mornings or afternoons. Even evenings hold a different feeling compared to the night's ambience.

"Are you interested in those?" Haru asks, pulling you back to reality.

You look down to see her face, carrying a smile and a raised brow. You then shake your head when you notice she's pointing with her eyes at one of the flower beds you'd been staring at, however vacant your attention was. The offer makes you smile back at her, though it soon falls when you see dirt on her uniform. Her face also has a bit smeared on it, thoughts it's mostly centered on her nose. "Did something happen?" you ask, holding back a frown. You're aware she isn't one to tolerate pity, so you try to remain neutral in your tone in an attempt at not appearing as worried as you feel. "You, um... You have some dirt on your face, by the way."

"Where?" she asks, taking a step closer. She then stands on her tiptoes and leans in. "Could you get it for me? My hands are all dirty."

Her tone is already a dead giveaway of what she's trying to do here.

Similar to how your relationship was like after your bad first impression, there's a teasing factor to her voice and the glint in her eyes -- as if she's waiting to strike at any moment. Regardless, you don't back away and excuse yourself to find a napkin from your belongings. She waits in that same spot until you come back with it and returns to standing tall when you aim at her face, first going to her nose, and then her cheeks. It's easy to clean and it doesn't take you long to wrap up, though you can't deny how she seems to be getting closer and closer with each passing second.

"That should be all of-"

She lands a kiss on top of your snout and her hand goes to your cheek, almost close enough to brush with your mouth. Her ears perk up when she pulls away and takes a step back; the same energy applies to her smile and gaze, both holding an emotion difficult to decipher beyond that of simple mischief or amusement. It's noticeable she means nothing big by her calm and composed body language, though there's something about it that makes this feel like an honest action on her part despite all the teasing.

"Did you get those stains on purpose?" you ask, getting straight to the point.

That drives out a laugh from her, one she tries to suppress as her smile grows and her cheeks turn red from holding back her want to let it go. She then shows her hands, revealing no dirt on them, as she'd otherwise claimed earlier ago. "You caught me," she says, letting out a chuckle. "I just took a bit of dirt on one finger and spread it all over. The one on my uniform's real, though."

You frown at her confession, though you still sit next to her by one of the flowerbeds when she makes that offer. It's a much better spot to continue your conversation, and the scent of the flowers made more prominent by the wind only adds to the experience. Drowsiness arrives once more, and it drives out a deep, long-lasting yawn.

"Have you slept at all today?" she asks, expression changing for sterner eyes and a straight mouth. "Did..." It's rare to see her hesitate or demonstrate any blatant worry, though you don't bring that up now nor tease her back with it. Letting her finish the question feels more important right now. "...Did everything go alright with Juno?" she asks, voice coming off gentler than you anticipated it to. "I saw she was doing better this morning, but you look a bit worn out."

"Do I?" you ask, furrowing your gaze at the thought. Even if you did manage to find some closure with Juno, you hadn't woken up too fresh this morning. And even if that had something to do with how little rest you got, there's also a persistent, lingering feeling at the back of your head telling you to watch out and be careful. Being out here with Haru feels like a risk regardless of how there's plenty more lighting and security measures around as a result of what happened with Juno. And regardless of how many students are still wandering around -- some finishing with club duties and others keeping each other company -- you can't avoid replaying the scene of her being taken captive and held out as a bargain. "I ended up talking with her at midnight," you say, smiling again. "So that might have to do with that, but... But things turned out pretty good between us, so I'm okay."

"Are you sure?" She places a hand over yours to grab your attention some more. Her eyes scrutinize yours, and her frown manages to show just how plain unconvinced she still is. "There's... something else bothering you, isn't there?"

She squeezes your hand tighter; a 'please' can be felt through that action, prompting you to be a bit more honest with her. "Y- Yes," you blurt out, sighing. "But it's just a suspicion -- nothing really serious yet."

Her hand lets go, cold now felt sharper with how warm her touch is. "Suspicion or not, that's a big enough worry for you to just brush it off and ignore it." Her gaze narrows subtly, almost forming a glare weren't her frown and tone softer. "And don't belittle your worries like that. It won't do you any good, in the long run." There's a strong sense of finality in the way she says that: stern and firm, but caring nonetheless. She wanders her attention onto the flowers you'd gotten lost in while taking in your surroundings and goes back to you afterwards. "Want one?" she asks, pointing with her eyes to them.

You smile and stand up when she does, already growing too anxious to stay in one place without fidgeting. "...Yes," you mutter, voice a whisper as you look away, reminded of how bold she'd been with you a few minutes ago. While you're still thinking about it, Haru looks like she's moved on from it completely. Not a trace of the fluster you showed can be seen on her face.

Rather than handing over one, she gives you four: one of each colour available, with the exception of the pink ones, these two instead of one. In the spare moment you've been vexing about her kiss, she's managed to take them all out cleanly, without damaging any of the roots, leaves, or petals whatsoever. Haru nods over to a stray flower pot laying on the ground, and -- finally -- places them there when you take it and bring it over. "Give one of the pink ones to Juno," she says, winking. "And tell her it's from you." She finishes her work by scooping some soil into the pot, pouring a bit of water in, and even going as far as to wrap a red ribbon around it. "Alright?"

At a loss for words, you can only look down at the flowers and nod -- albeit, absentmindedly. "Y- Yeah."

Your face turns cold as you realize what particular flowers they are -- ones you'd stared at for far too long.

Lilies.

"Thank you," you add, not wanting to dwell too much on that thought. "I left my wallet at the dorm, but-"

"What are you talking about, (Y/N)?" Haru intervenes, swatting your arm and pushing you to move off to the exit. "It's a gift! Now let's get going -- It's getting dark already."

Unable to adjust to both the flower situation and her kiss, you fall short on your words and decide to only nod again.

You follow her without a word out of the garden once she wraps up and closes the shed, far too caught up with both events for you to say anything else even as you walk off to the dorms; a quick and hushed 'see you later' more than midway through is the only thing you're capable of.
