Diasomnia boys with a reader that's really prone to panic attacks, but hides it really well?

Like, sometimes they get really jittery and stuff, but that's just them being them! It gets better, usually. If not, they go to the bathroom chill, even when they're literally going to die inside.

And they kinda knew cause they went on a boat date, then they just kinda started saying they were uncomfortable and stuff and they ended up having a huge panic attack, like how would they react?

malleus draconia

he is very observant, especially over someone like you. it's his own way of showing care and affection if anything. malleus usually seems to have a watchful eye over you-- your wellbeing is something he finds really important to him. he can quite easily tell how nervous and how much anxiety building up in you. with that being, however, he is a bit... awkward showing how much he does want to help you. he doesn't understand that part well. now, he doesn't express it, but it does he feels a strange and foreign sense of powerlessness because he wants to be able to magically take it all away.

malleus is incredibly gentle; he does go out of his way to still try even though he can't fully solve it for you. when he notices the jitteriness or even as soon as you seem to be unable to focus, if you're alright with the touch- he'll carefully slip his hand to hold yours and trace his thumb over the top of your hand. he will give you reassuring affirmations or looks. though, he tends to just slip you away from whatever you're around and give you the best sense of peace he can.

with that being said, that's what he prompts to- he knows you seemed to feel somewhat better during your times with him outside ramshackle at night, where you may find comfort just trying to ease your breathing outside. he'll be there, quiet but someone for you if you wish to speak. and once again, because this is still new for him- whatever you want practically goes because he just ultimately wants you to feel better. so even if that's space, stay in silence, or talk about something else to get your mind off it. he will gladly give any of it.

lilia vanrouge

lilia already has this caring and doting nature around him- and that always applies to you. he can sense what you're feeling from a mile away. he knows you so well already and only wants nothing more than to help you. lilia genuinely wants to be someone you can lean and rely on. despite the trouble or teasing to others he can bring- he is very careful around you. especially during the aftermath of any of them, he is ready to be there.

he is always seeming to check on you. when you seem to be bouncing your leg, fidgeting, biting your lip or nails- very quick to notice- he'll calmy hush a "do you want my help, dearest?" something of that sorts and give a reassuring smile. he never wants you to feel bad for it and make it any kind. he also wants the approval from you if you want or need him around to ease yourself.

when you've dealt with one, carefully, he'll try to ease and calm you down after the adrenaline high you were just experiencing. he'll always seem to have a caring smile on his face when he asks if you''ll let him hold you for a moment. i have a feeling his hugs, with the addition of soft humming or strokes are the epitome of safe.

silver

at first, he was new to handling these kinds of things- he felt completely unsure how to help when all he wanted to do was do just that. much like malleus, but honestly, probably even more so- his quiet nature can most likely prove to be some help when it comes to your panic nature. anything he says or does, even if he is a bit internally worried about how to handle it himself, is so gentle and soothing. it hurts him seeing how much you have to deal with- so he'll do everything and anything he can for you. in moments especially where you're talking to others and feeling anxious, he'll take over for you.

silver is protective by default; it only heightens around you. he wants nothing more than for you to be and feel safe. he is knight, he really couldn't push that part away from him if he tries. in the midst of the moment his focus is solely onto you. if you'd allow him, he hold your hands and let you squeeze them as tight as you want, trying to help guide you through it the best way he can. even if it's difficult and you feel like a mess, he is right there with a worried look and this aching desire to fix it for you.

after it slowly wears of, he might recommend and try coaxing you to fall asleep. he doesn't leave your side if your comfortable enough to allow yourself to. he'll lightly trace your arm and try to have you match your breathing with his.

sebek zigvolt

sebek would probably have the most confused time trying to help you- not in a bad way- like anyone else he wants to help you, but he has zero clue how to even begin the first few times. he gets so concerned and when he gets worried it comes out as loud unintentionally. or maybe even aggressive to others in a sense of thinking someone was bothering you. and clearly that's the last thing you would need, so he tries his best to be more cautious of himself for you. there are times where he's been kneeled in front of you sitting looking up to you with a "tell me what i can do for you" attitude. he gets so serious,,,

like silver, he's a knight and wants you with a sense of security- he doesn't want to feel like he failed you on that. he would go out of his way after he starts to slowly understand them- to spend his spare time reading about it and even go to lilia for help on comfort. so, at times like this during an instance on a date he would be ready all the more.

him trying to help you does feel rather by-the-book scientific ways of helping you get through it. but he genuinely tries and is solemn about it. he does stumble a bit nervously sometimes, because he still can't quite think straight when you're experiencing anything sorts of bad. but sebek does his absolute best.

be mines, valentine? [2/2]

what gifts do the boys give you during this special day?

not beta read.

a/n: there is lots of bias for silver and sebek, and for that, I'm sorry (not rlly)

epel felmier.

he gives you specially carved apples from his farm. with skilled fingers, he carves them just how he would like, dips them in chocolate and magics them, so they won't loose their flavor. in the morning, he hands them over to you, with confidence bolstering over his natural accent.

"hey, heard it's valentine's day an'- cuz' we're real good to each other, I carved ya' sum apples! I made sure to pick out the best ones for 'ya!"

rook hunt.

dramatic and flamboyant, rook's gift represents him well; a poem straight from his heart about his feelings for you. it's filled to the brim with little quirks he associates with you.

"trickster! for this day filled with love, I give you my love!"

vil schoenheit.

vil, concerned for you hands you a product bundle of his best selling kits. he's worried you aren't taking care of yourself, you see, and what better way to show that you care then pampering them yourself? it's elegant, it's refined, it's vil, and he reminds you that it is.

"potato, relax. yes, just like that. don't open your eyes while I apply this on you. don't you move an inch."

idia shroud.

idia can't deal with most people, but he finds your company enjoyable. so, when valentine's day comes, he gives you a valuable item in-game for whatever you're wanting- skins, equipment, anything! just for this day, he'll break his gamer pride and hand you something he knows you'll enjoy.

"h-here. you've wanted this for a while, right? i- I saw you staring at it in the game shop, so... u-UWAH, d-don't hug me so suddenly...!"

ortho shroud.

the robot searches far and wide in the internet and interwebs for your perfect gift, and with his brother's help, he's got it: a small, more compact digitized version of him! you always said he was helpful, so why not take (another version of) him with you everywhere? that way, he can help you more!

"it's valentine's day! according to my searches, it's a day where you show gratitude to someone by handing them presents! so, here is mines- I hope it proves useful to you!"

malleus draconia.

malleus is quite the lonely person, so when you came into his life and brightened it up, he knew he had to thank you, one way or another. when lilia mentions valentine's day, malleus took his chance.

he gifts you a tamagochi in your colors, and pairs it up with his. that way, wherever the two of you are, you'll always be together.

"child of man, lilia told me of this 'valentine's day'. while it is not a box of chocolates, I hope this brings you as much joy as it does to me."

lilia vanrouge.

this old man has seen and gone through valentine's day like an experienced warrior. he's received valentine gifts, made valentine gifts, had a date of valentine, been rejected on valentine's... he uses this knowledge to give you something wonderful: himself, of course!

"consider yourself lucky. it's not everyday a general hands over his entire being to someone, let alone a human. fufu, little bat, let's enjoy ourselves on this day, shall we?"

silver.

since his 'friend' in briar valley consists of only sebek, silver doesn't have a single clue on where to start with gifting gifts on valentine's day, so he consults with his father. ...unfortunately, giving his entire being to you doesn't seem like a good idea, so he does what he does best; protection.

he gives you his protection for the day, and his company with it. he allows you to toy with him however you please; he trusts you enough that you won't make him do something awful.

but during valentine's, he does come up with something; well, he and his animal friends do- a strong cup of coffee and a garland of flowers, arranged intricately to suit you best.

"it's not much, but I hope you like it, prefect. I normally spend valentine's day with my father, so I'm not too sure for things like this. ...you like it?"

he graces you with a small smile.

"I'm glad."

sebek zigvolt.

he is, CONFLICTED! one on hand, you're just a human, there's no need for him to bother with you unless necessary, but on the other hand you have helped him lots, and he is grateful for your help...

and, you do make for good company...ARGH, but- but---!

as he laments over this dilemma, lilia gives him some much needed advice.

"think of this as a training of some sorts. one has to challenge their view of the world, sooner or later, and i'd rather you face this one sooner, sebek."

"it's not really training, is it?" says silver doubtfully as sebek runs off.

"oh shut it, son."

sebek ends up giving you chocolates, shaped like dragons and lightning bolts and also some books he thinks you'll like in such a roundabout way you can't help but pinch his cheeks affectionately.

"human-! sir lilia told me this is a form of training to dispel me of my bias, so- WHAT WAS THAT FOR?! ...oh, be- BECAUSE I WAS CUTE?! d-don't say that so...! argh, this is why humans are so-!"

grim.

grim is inclined to gift you a tuna, but after some discussions with the ghosts, he's decided to give you some food. he knows what it's like to get yummy food for free, so why not give his henchman the same delight he feels?!

"henchman! this ain't cuz' it's valentine's or anythin', but I'm feelin' real generous, so here, take it! it's the great grim's special- paw buns! be prepared to get blown outta this world, hehehe!"

the 3 ramshackle ghosts.

it's been so long since they've had this much fun, and since valentine's is coming up, why not show their gratitude? after some fiddling, the ghosts decide to give you an upgraded uniform! the patches are now fixed, and that annoying hole on the side is fixed, too!

"you know, you've made this place so much livelier for us... have this as our thanks! do you like it...? you do... lots...? that's great news!"

Hello! Recently I've seen a lot of twst blogs arguing on how twst characters are mischaracterized, especially Malleus. So do you have any ideas on how he is mischaracterized? Also, is it okay to ask for your general opinion on questions like a short character analysis or how a healthy a relationship with each twdt guy might be? Hope it's okay to ask!

For your first question anon, it's a GREAT thing to ask and to be honest I've been waiting for a chance to talk about him! And for your second one, yes, of course! I just love writing character analyis and it's totally okay to ask for character/personality/relationship analysis here! I've got a lot to say about Malleus so this is going to a detailed analysis about his whole personality.

There are commonly two popular opinions on how Malleus is which divides the fandom into two groups:

Group A:

Those who consider him to be an absolutely soft, baby dragon who just wants to be invited and have a friend. They believe that Malleus needs more attention and can be quite affectionate at the time, he can also be sometimes idiotic toward simple stuff like working with a computer or trying to talk with others which makes him even more adorable. "Despite Malleus's harsh and emo appearance and terrifying powers, Malleus is just a small baby inside," is also a common belief of this group.

Group B:

Those who argue that group A is totally shading everything important about Malleus's personality and true self just because he looks cute and plays with a childish tamagotchi. These group also comes up with rather strong points about his personality such as his status as a crown prince, his naturally dark personality as not only a dark fae but also Maleficent's grandchild, his maturity and cold nature and also, the aspect of his hellish powers which can make him look like an absolute monster at the time.

I believe most of you are familiar with these points of view but the question is, which one of them is the real Malleus?

And the answer is: Neither of them; yet both of them do have a point.

The main problem is how the fandom portraits him as either an emotional tamagotchi baby or an absolutely cold and heartless mister of evil, while the true Malleus is far beyond than just being either good, or bad.

Now let's discuss some of the important facts and common mistakes about Malleus's personality:

(1) Malleus isn't a baby, but he isn't a monster either

This is supposedly the main idea here which will be continued to be discussed through the rest of this analysis. This is often how many end up mischaracterizing him because: the way the describe Malleus is either too dark or too childish. What we need here, is a balance. This is the grandson of one of the most important Disney villains that we are talking about, and don't forget that Maleficent herself was confirmed to consume the powers of Hell, as she was indeed the mistress of all evil. So this dragon boy here surely isn't one to underestimate, and he clearly has inherited that hellish power of her grandmother. It's obviously seen through the story as well, from the way he was presented in chapter 2 and beans day event to how terrified other students always are to even talk about him.

But the thing is, there are softer aspects of his personality as well which prove that Malleus isn't just designed to present an undefeatable force of evil, and this is exactly what makes his personality a lot more interesting.

(2) Malleus is actually hard to approach and talk to

Let's be honest, Malleus isn't as soft and easy to befriend as many fans consider him to be. He doesn't get too friendly or chill as he speaks, and even his close allies like Silver and Sebek fail to get close to him as much as they wish to. When we talk about his dark aura, we aren't just talking about his horns and fearsome magic, it's also because of his personality itself. His calm yet cold tone always remains still regardless of who he's talking to. No need to mention that he isn't an ordinary student either, he not only comes from a well-known family but is also the crown-prince of valley of thorns. Out of all twst characters Malleus is the only one who is directly connected to the great seven by being Maleficent's grandson. His family and people on the other hand are overly protective over him, to the point of not letting him to even have a fake proposal in the ghost marriage event which means that Malleus has also got each and every of his actions under watch.

(3) He's slowly getting used to isolating himself

In his ceremonial robes story, he's obviously upset that he never had a chance to wear his ceremonial robes because he never got invited, but when Lilia says he'd one day overcome his ill fate and gets to wear them as he always wanted to, he says that he's fine. Then again when Lilia tried to bring him to the singing test in chapter 5 he avoids showing up. In his voice lines he also said: "Are you as well scared of me?" which is clearly shouting that he's no longer surprised to see people being afraid of him, he's getting used to being feared and at some point, hated. That's probably one of the bitter sides of his personality which he's slowly giving up on trying to change it.

(4) Malleus has got a great confidence and isn't shy at all

There many fanfics in which Malleus is presented as a shy boy who's scared of confessing to his s/o or asking them out, while he's the total opposite in reality. Just like Maleficent herself, he speaks calmly and in a formal tone, is very respectful as he speaks, and isn't one to ever have problem while talking to others.

It's others who always avoid talking to him while Malleus himself isn't the least uncomfortable with presenting his ideas and asking others for help when he needs to.

He isn't ever shy over his lack of ability to work with machines or asking others for help for seemingly childish issues like having his tamagotchi fixed or finding a friend for the GaoGao dragon.

The only thing left is how Lilia described him as "Kind of shy" in chapter five, which is most likely because of another reason discussed in part (3)

(5) He doesn't eat ice cream and play with a tamagotchi for no reason

Malleus explained that everything is ran by magic back in the valley of thorns and no one really uses any machines there, that's how he's pretty new to both technology and complicated tools.

I believe that the tamagotchi part was given to him on purpose, because else than showing the fact that he's bad with tools, it's great contrast to the harsh picture that his power and personality gives him!

Admit it, it's a funny and somehow, adorable contrast to see one of the strongest magicians who can burn the room to ashes in just a matter pf second playing with a children's toy. And I believe that it was given to him on purpose. They meant to give him some soft and cute features as well instead of just presenting him as an evil fae. He is indeed evil and his powers are terrifying, and that's how watching him play with a tamagotchi is rather surprising to many. If you saw Ortho or Cheka playing with one it wouldn't have gone any further than a simple "Awww" or "How cute" because it's something you'd expect to see from a kid, but when you see Malleus of all people playing with it, you can't help but to fascinated and flustered over how cute this fae's habits can be.

Ice cream on the other hand doesn't really have to do with cuteness, it's something Yana Toboso discovered while doing her researches on fae mythology which discuses that Dark faes enjoy cold and sweet foods, especially cream. So it doesn't really have anything to do with him being either a soft or a cruel boy, it's just a normal part of his nature as a fae.

(6) He might be crazily old to humans, but he's still pretty young as a fae

This one has really been getting on my nerves, come on people! It's true that he's probably been living for decades and possibly, centuries but don't forget that it isn't that much compared to a normal fae! Even Sebek calls him 'Young master' which means that he's still a pretty young one, no need to mention that he hasn't yet became the king either so he's not much different from the rest of the students in NRC.

I've seen people saying: "No Malleus won't do that he's -too old-" and I've got to say: What?

Come on even someone like Lilia who's been living for over 5 centuries can act like a nasty 14 year old at the time, so for faes at least, age isn't a limitation.

Malleus on the other hand is still a teenage fae! He needs to discover new things and talk with more people, just like a normal human being does. So if he doesn't enjoy doing anything too silly or stupid, it's because of his 'personality', not because he's too old. Even when tells Lilia that he isn't a child anymore, it's like how an 18 year old says it to his father.

(7) Malleus won't take insult easily

He is polite and respectful in general, but when he's offended, he'd seriously respond to it. Remember that a single swipe of hand from him can set the whole room on fire.

Rook and Leona were probably one step away from being burnt and when Leona really got on Malleus's nerves by humiliating him, Malleus stopped respecting him as a prince of an ally kingdom and humiliated back.

He is calm but to a specific point, and you can make sure that he won't be any soft or forgiving if you offend him, and it'll probably end in no good if he gets mad. So better not think that Malleus is one to just keep it in and later cry in a room because he's sad baby when someone dares insult him.

(8) Angelina Jolie's Maleficent has nothing to do with his story!

Nope, Malleus never had a lover who cut off his wings and sent him to a hell of depression and loneliness, and no you cannot find those two wounds on his back regardless of how romantic it may seem.

I admit it, it's a lovely Au, but it's JUST AN AU! I can still see people saying stuff like "Ohh!! Will we discover if Malleus too had his wings cut off in chapter 7?" and the answer is NO. While Angelina Jolie's Maleficent is surely a great one on its own, it needs be understood that twst's source of main information and characters designs is nothing else than the original Disney villains.

Malleus cannot be associated with any Maleficents else than the version we saw in 1959's sleeping beauty and it's an important fact to look through.

(9) Malleus is NOT Maleficent!

While they are a lot more similar than you can imagine(in both power and personality), let's not forget that Malleus is NOT Maleficent! He's a total new character on his own, and is unique in his own way.

He is twisted from Maleficent which means that no matter how similar they are, Malleus is a new character with a new personality.

Saying that he isn't soft at all and the fandom will see his true face when he overblots ( It's supposed to mean that the real Malleus is an absolutely evil and destructive one, just like Maleficent) is nothing different from denying all of Yana's hard work on designing him and his personality!

Malleus himself said that his grandmother's skills were far greater than his and most importantly: Malleus still has chance to have a better fate than Maleficent did.

Once again: He's still young! He still has a chance to be saved from turning into a heartless and isolated creature like Maleficent. No matter how cold he is, he hasn't yet got to the point of hating the whole world and losing all of his emotions. And that's why it's totally wrong to deny all the good that he might still have inside by saying that he isn't soft at all. He isn't a baby, but he isn't a monster either. Not yet.

(10) Even Lilia agrees that Malleus is still learning and his personality is in development

Can't you see? Malleus isn't attending to this school for no reason. His magic is already top notch, and his knowledge goes far greater than anything they might teach in NRC.

If you take a look at the story, you'll see signs of Lilia indirectly giving us signs of why Malleus still needed to attend to this school. In Malleus's SR robes' story, Lilia told him that he still has a lot to learn and knowledge isn't everything. And what might he find in NRC which has nothing to do with knowledge? People.

Lilia is trying to hold him back from isolating himself like Maleficent did, and is indeed trying to help him make friends and learn to get along with people without thinking that it's useless because they'd fear him anyway.

Also, he clearly wants Malleus to learn and experience new things in NRC by taking part in activities. In Malleus's Halloween SR story Lilia, who was always the one to choose Diasomnia's Halloween costumes, asks Malleus to choose this year's costume instead of him. Lilia first says that he wants Malleus to do it but later tells him that he has other reasons as well, he was trying to put Malleus into trying something new therefore he can have something learn from the experiment! (What a cute papa he really is...)

This is another proof of him not having the cold and unapproachable picture some imagine him to have, he isn't against experiencing and trying new things.

(11) He's still looking for a true friend

Malleus needs a friend, that's a fact. During his chats he mentions how Maleficent always had her loyal pet crow by her side as the only reliable creature she could always trust, and how Malleus wonders if he can ever find such a worthy ally of his own.

Even as he has Lilia, Silver and Sebek by his side he doesn't feel like he has such a friend.

People have been avoiding him through his whole life, and you can see how excited he got when Cater asked him for a selfie as he was one of the very first people who ever tried to approach him.

While he's slowly getting used to being feared by everyone, he'd still appreciate a friend and he needs one. Not even Maleficent herself could've made it all on her own without a friend by her side.

(12) Malleus isn't heartless

While he won't easily fall for anything or anyone, it isn't impossible for him to love.

We haven't yet seen anything that directly gets us to the point of love in the story but it's something you can tell through his actions and words.

When he cares for something or someone, he'd be serious about it.

Two obvious examples would be his tamagotchi and the ramshackle dorm. He'd certainly get out of his way to find someone to fix his dear tamagotchi and as we saw in the Halloween event, he furiously stated that he'd burn anyone who tries to the ramshackle dorm any harm, because he likes that place.

There isn't much he holds dear in life, but when he does, he won't let a single soul to take it away from him.

When he can be this protective over something that just entertains him, just try to imagine how far he might go to protect the one he loves. He falls in love very slowly and it'll probably take him a while to realize it if he actually does. He can begin with small interests and repeated meetings but at some point, it'll turn into a routine, an obsession. He won't easily fall in love, but when he does, he won't be able to easily let go of it either.

(13) His relationship with MC is far more important than you're thinking

Just by going through his voice lines, you can tell how MC is effecting Malleus's personality and life. I'm not saying that it's love or anything but the thing is, MC is changing Malleus nonetheless.

Their relationship has been a totally new thing for Malleus to experience from the very beginning, because MC didn't know him. Malleus is obviously used to being well-known as the infamous prince of the Draconia family by almost everyone, but MC was an exception.

He asked MC to talk to him and tell him stories, it can be clearly see that he enjoys talking to them.

He also mentioned that MC has made him feeling lots of things he hadn't felt before, which can also be connected to part (10) where we discussed how he's still young and needs more of communication and friends because he needs to learn.

Some argue that Malleus couldn't care less about MC and the only reason he shows up around them is because of the ramshackle dorm, which can be easily proven wrong by two hints:

1) Malleus sent a Happy holiday card to MC after the winter holiday.

2)What Malleus told Lilia at the end of the Halloween event stories after all the troubles that was brought upon the ramshackle dorm: "I want that human to enjoy Halloween too"

While it isn't necessarily romance that we're talking about, his relationship with MC is clearly telling us that he's a lot more of emotions and humanity inside him than what we were expecting.

At this point, it's important to see that in spite of his cold nature and mature personality he is slowly beginning to feel more and more emotions as the result of meeting newer people in NRC, especially MC. Saying that he is nothing but a heartless fae who is wrongly thought to be a soft and emotional boy is nothing different from judging him the same way as most of the people in twisted wonderland itself judge Malleus, it's important to see that he's a lot more.

His personality itself is surely amazing and as a Malleus hoe stan myself I can't wait to get more of his background in chapter 7, although it's probably going to be dark as well. They really did give his design a twist and that's how he's a balance of and menacingly powerful magician and a young boy who's just learning to deal with emotions.

For now, that's all I had in mind! Hope that I didn't miss anything. This was a general character analysis which also discussed some of the common mistakes about Malleus's personality but-

In case that you're wondering how he's being mischaracterized in reader insert fics, that'll be a totally different issue to discuss which would also need another post to be discussed through.

Small note: Just saying that there's often a dark lore to twst x reader fics (Especially for Malleus/ Leona x reader) which is usually better to be ignored while reading/writing for them...

Kinda random but what if MC/Yuu was one of Mother Miranda's children?

How would the first years react to MC not wanting to go home because of WTF is going in their world?

(i'm talking about Resident Evil 8 if you don't know who Mother Miranda is!)

Mother Loves You

First and foremost I’m with the first years here- nANI DAFU- second of all, I apologize in advance if I misinterpret the request since I don't watch nor play Resident Evil but the franchise is pretty cool in terms of art! So shall we see what it's like being a child of the catalyst of disaster in your world?

Tw: mentions of rebirth revival and world rune

When you're a child of Mother Miranda:

You've been around for a while so it's both confusing and understandable to him when he saw your initial reaction to Crowley’s ginger confession of finally finding a way back home to your world.

Like hey you and him have been together the longest out of the gang in terms of knowing each other so- wait can you repeat that for him?

you don't want to go back to you world because it's already in a state of severe rune ravaged by mutations deceases and monsters? yeah understandable- YourMotherIsWHaT?!-

Trust me when I say he'll attempt to scoff and shrug it off like hey you two joke around all the time how is this any different- but he admits deep down that the expression on your face when you finally reveal the details is just, proving to ace how much he actually doesn't know about you.

"H-hey! If that's the damned case then don't go! What type of dumbass goes back to a hell hole willingly?"

Suffice it to say, the red head would absentmindedly be more mindful with what he jokes around you, especially relating to concepts of rebirth and revival, he's cruel but not heartless.

It came across as off when you frantically shook your head in rejection of the headmaster's offer to personally escort you to the mirror chamber, he knew you made yourself home here but wouldn't you wanna go back to your true home?-

...Oh, OH- those few spurts of "Ruined" and "life crazed mother" garnered him to rethink his thoughts on your reaction, maybe even instinctively hold your shoulders because the way you trembled a bit was so familiar to him.

He may have been naïve with many things but he's pretty sure those words you said aren't what you'd associate with well- home sweet home.

So when he sat you down on a bench to ease your nervousness he didn't expect hearing the words revival and sacrifice in your sharing of your not exaggeratingly tragic backstory- wait does that mean you're a century old already?-

"Y...you don’t have to tell me anything right now...hey, wanna go grab something with ace and head to Heartslabyul?"

He takes the distraction approach but when the time comes you slowly explain everything? Let's just say he's already helping you with making settlements in Twisted Wonderland.

It happened fast, one minute you and jack were on your merry way to PE class the next thing you knew he was carefully leading you somewhere that isn't near the mirror chambers

Recap, deadbeat bird principal jumped you two looking like a child in a candy store because he finally by the great seven's graces found a way back to your home.

Like Deuce he found it odd how you froze up in numbness rather than jittering in excitement, you've been here in twst long enough why dealing with mishaps and overblots so why-

you gingerly tell him along the way, and hand to the great seven he honestly didn't know whether to believe you at first or get annoyed for telling such level of theatrical like history, but your current state snapped him out of his mental debate deeming it that this was no theatrics but rather your reality which you were damned with.

"I've got you- I've got you here alright? those things won't reach you here..."

The urge to protect you grew ever since, and he'd personally silence those who dare convince you to go home without knowing any better- of course he won't reveal why since its not his place but he'll sure as hell shut them up.

Epel unlike the others, found your refusal to go home as good news, you two can hang out more! He'll never admit it but things would be less lively without you-

Wait... you refused so why..do you look so distant? It took a bit of courage shamelessness from his end to ask because he knows how it feels to be asked about things you don't wanna speak of but he's worried-

...What-. The moment you even as so hint your true situation to him the pomefiore first year's joy relinquishes into horror, probably even have to grip the side of his seat.

But the way you told your lineage your story your world, just how much- no how long have you been keeping all this in?! How...are you sa calm?

"Y-yer not joking eh'...hey but really a-are ye..good?"

The context of the question dawned on him, you literally just explained your century conniving mother and he asks you- t-that's not what he meant! but in the end he'll make sure to give you the greatest friendship he can offer so you can forget that gorey past of yours!

Actually, it was sebek who personally escorted you to the headmaster's office when a staff said Crowley requested your presence.

The half fae decided to tag along under the excuse of keeping the young master's friend safe but really he was kinda curious what the headmaster needed from you in the middle of class.

The moment Crowely announced the news the boy immediately beams a victorious grin, the milestone of a comrade is something to share right- human ..why are you stumbling!...?

You personally ushered yourselves out of the office which to-sebek found it disrespectful but what you tell next had him rethink many things especially regarding you. Heck, what you described was probably equal to the stories Lilia would tell first hand!

"H-...Human we should go, tardiness is not acceptable!"

But really he wanted to seek Lilia's guidance right away, which ultimately ended with him not so subtly changing his behavior with you I.E. how he refers to you since you aren't 100 percent human to his understanding but, he's willing to observe to the best of his abilities.

Dorm Leaders With A Chubby S/o Hcs

This boy wouldn't really care about your looks honestly. Though I will say that it's most likely that his mother has set up standards in his mind about his partners.

That said, he very much would try to not have what his mother drilled in his head to influence him. He may make a mistake or two when on the subject of weight and looks but he tries very hard.

If he does say something, tell him immediately. Help him see the error of his and his mother's views. With time he will unlearn what his mother has taught him. He truly does love you.

If someone does make a comment about your looks or weight, Riddle will immediately go all red in anger. He will not tolerate anyone, not even his mother, saying such comments about you.

If you do want to lose weight or not sure how, this guys will go through many books and websites just for the sake of helping you. He has said he's wanted to be a doctor before, so this research will help him for his future.

You think this guy would care how you look? No, he doesn't. He also wouldn't let anyone "talk shit" either.

But I will say there is a slight difference if your feminine or masculine. If your more feminine or female, he's way more protective. He was taught to respect woman because of how powerful and strong they are in the Afterglow.

If you're more masculine or male, he won't be as protective honestly. But if he sees it's affecting you then he'll be the shoulder for you to cry on.

He may not understand fully on how much flack chubby people get. But he can greatly sympathize because of how he was treated because of his unique magic.

If you want to lose weight, Leona isn't the greatest for advice. He can give support, that's not a problem. But he mostly would want to sleep then work out with you. You have a better chance with Jack for advice on both diets and workouts.

Like Leona, Azul would not care at all how you look. But dare I say, he would have a preference for someone with a bit more meat to them. After all a restaurant owner has to know what food lovers like huh? I jest, he knows how you look doesn't have to be correlated to how you eat.

He's the most supportive one, in rival to Kalim that is, towards you. You don't have to prove anything to him that's related to your weight or looks, he loves you for you.

If you're confident in how you look that gives him more confidence actually, enough to where he might even openly eat his favorite foods if your with him and encourage him.

If he even hears a scoff in your direction, he's already scheming in his head. Even if it has nothing to do with your weight or looks, he already has a plan to doom any negative student. He's very, very, protective of you. Even the tweels actually, since they see how much Azul cares and loves for you, it would be a shame if someone decided to use you as a way to get back at him.

If you wish to lose weight, Azul is very much supportive. He may not be fully happy, but he will try his hardest to help you. He'll make meal plans, have vegan or vegetarian options on Monstro Lounge's menu, even count your calories if you ask. While he may do this, he'll allow you to have a cheat day with him. After all everyone deserves something fatty once in awhile.

Another boy who absolutely does not care about how you look! He only ever sees how you are as a person than how you look. Honestly he wouldn't even notice you're chunkier than most until you point it out. Well actually he would know, it just never registered.

He would most definitely spend so much money on tailored clothing for you, if most clothes didn't fit. Anything you want, he'll get, that doesn't change.

This includes the parties he hold, they're the same in the terms of having your favorite foods and activities. Jamil will practically have known all your favorite foods by heart because of Kalim requests.

He actually does get very defensive, but not in the way you would think. If he hears anything negative about you, he'll immediately but into the conversation and have compliments leave his mouth at a fast pace.

Kalim doesn't fully understand if you want to lose weight. But he'll still be supportive and ask Jamil for advice on what you and him need to do. He'll workout and go on a diet with you as well! Because it's more fun if you're not alone!

I'll be honest, this guy will care. But hear me out, it's not how you think. Yes he'll make a few subtle comments, but he believes it's to make sure you're in your top form and your most beautiful self.

If you're happy the way you are then he'll promptly be quiet, he would never actively hurt someone with words about their appearance. He knows everyone is different, everyone has their own qualities that make them beautiful. And as time goes on, he'll see that your extra weight is what makes you beautiful.

If say, your weight is do to something you can't control. He'll be very supportive and understanding, we all can't control how we look after all. If you feel sad over it he'll be there to be your shoulder to cry on and even give you a comforting spa day.

If he hears others talk negatively about you, then they have angered Pomefiore's queen. He won't tolerate anyone harassing nor belittling you. He may have been harsh with you at first, but he learned his own way and so he'll make sure others know better as well.

If you want to lose weight, Vil is the perfect person to ask for help! He may be harsh and tough on you, but it's to help you and motivate you. If you do need someone more comforting and soft Rook will be there to compliment and encourage you as well. It's very...contrasting, but it'll get the job done so you can be you're most beautiful self!

I'd say he doesn't care either, maybe also someone who prefers someone with more meat to cuddle. After all, I can see him actually having a cold body temperature even with the fire hair. Those with larger bodies are warmer actually, so you're perfect for cuddles!

He would want to give you loads of compliments, but his extreme shyness gets the better of him. So instead he plays games with you and even makes mods that let's you have your character be as chubby as you!!

Surprisingly Idia always cuddles you. You're just so warm and plush he can't help himself! Don't point it out though, or his hair will turn red and may cause another fire in his room.

When he or Ortho hears anything negative about you they immediately come to your defense, Ortho more often than Idia. Ortho sees you as another big sibling, so he defends you just like he does for Idia. Idia usually hacks his way into any naysayers phone to mess with them for a day, not usually anything too bad but something to make sure they don't say anything hurtful again.

If you want to lose weight, Idia will scour the internet for any info on how to help. He even would go outside to help you! Ortho will also be there so you have someone to workout with, meanwhile Idia is playing on his switch...he may also make exercise and active games at some point so you two can play together while working out!

This man also wouldn't care how you look. He may say one thing about how "humans have always looked so different from each other" in a way to comfort you.

He wouldn't really treat you differently, but he would give you all the support and compliments you need if you're insecure about your body.

You two do have lots of ice cream together, but if you ask for the sake of any medical reasons he's happy to get you your own sugar free or low calorie frozen treats!

If anyone in Diasomnia hears word of someone making negative comments about you, you have a whole dormitory behind you. The faes of the dormitory just can't understand why humans turn against each other over something as small as having a different body type.

If you wish to lose weight, Malleus won't know exactly what to do to help. He'll ask his dormmates for help, which will lead to Lilia trying to make home cooked diet meals. And for Sebek and Silver to have you join in their duels. Great Seven have mercy on them when Malleus finds out.

This Happens, and I...

Card: Lab Coat - SR Characters: Epel, Crewel, Jack, Cater, Vil (mentioned) Notes: Connected to Lilia Lab Coat

Chapter 1

—ALCHEMY WORKSHOP—

Crewel: The lambent flower, as its name suggests, is a plant that radiates light.

This plant is able to convert various nutrients into magic power and store them.

When it blooms, it releases all of the magic it had saved, making it give off a radiant shine.

Its petals won’t stop giving off that magic after it blooms, so it withers very quickly, and it’s difficult to breed them.

In fact, our own school’s botanical garden has hardly any at all.

For our Magic Potions lab today, we’ll be using nectar from lambent flowers.

Obviously, this nectar is extremely valuable. So be very careful when you take some from the jar with your droppers, puppies...

(Shatter!)

Epel: AHH?!

Crewel: The puppy that barked just now...

You’re Pomefiore’s Epel Felmier, yes? If you have a question, then quietly raise your hand.

Epel: I don’t have a question, I just... um...

I hit the jar of lambent flower nectar with my elbow... and broke it.

Crewel: You what?! ...Y-You spilt more than half of it!

Epel: I-I’m sorry... I-I was careless...

Classmate A: Oh, no... You really screwed up. See you on the other side, Epel.

Epel: Huh?

Jack: I heard from one of my seniors that if you make Professor Crewel mad, your life as a human ends for good.

They said he “disciplines” any student who makes some stupid mistake till they’re bowing on the floor crying their eyes out.

Epel: Th-They’re just exaggerating...

Crewel: Exaggerating. Yes, exactly, only exaggerating. That comment made it very clear what your stance is on this.

First you waste valuable lab ingredients, and then brush it off like that...

You’ve got some nerve, you mutt!!

(Crewel brings out his whip)

Epel: Ahh!!

Jack: Th-That had a lot of force there.

Epel: I-I’m sorry... I really am! It wasn’t on purpose...

Crewel: Be quiet! Bad boys who make excuses must be punished.

You spilt one teacup’s worth of nectar. Collect that much again, and don’t miss a single drop.

I’ll give you... yes, two months to do this. If you don’t have it all collected by then...

You know what’ll become of you, don’t you?

Epel: ...*Gulps*

(W-Well, he gave me a chance to make up for myself. I gotta break my neck tryin’!)

Yes, I understand. I’ll go and get back all the nectar I wasted.

Classmate B: ...No way Epel’s really gonna be able to do it. He looks like seeing a bug would be enough to send him screaming bloody murder.

Classmate C: He should just call it quits and tell him “I can’t do it” while he still can. That pretty boy’s got too much pride.

Classmate A: Oi, cut him some slack!

What are you going to do when that sheltered little boy starts bawling his eyes out? Hahaha!

Epel: ......

—BOTANICAL GARDEN - TEMPERATE ZONE—

Epel: I’m getting that lambent flower nectar no matter what!!

...It’s been a week since I promised myself that. I’ve been coming to the botanical garden to check on the flowers everyday, but...

I only planted five flowers, and they’re still just buds. I can’t get their nectar if they don’t bloom...

But even if they did bloom, I still only have five flowers—I wouldn’t even be able to get a whole spoonful of nectar.

And I have to get an entire teacup full? How am I supposed to do this?

Cater: What’s this~? I see Mr. Cutie from Pomefiore over there!

Epel: That voice... That’s gotta be Cater-san.

How many times do I have to tell you? My name’s not “Cutie,” it’s Epel.

Cater: Yup, yup, you’re as cute as ever today ♪

Have you thought about starting a Magicam yet? I could show you how.

I’ve said this before, but I think someone as cute as you could absolutely be an influencer~

Epel: ....Hah. Right now, I don’t have the time for that.

Cater: What’s the matter? You look glum.

Epel: Well...

Cater: So Professor Crewel told you to bring him one teacup’s worth of lambent flower nectar... I see.

Epel-chan, you poor thing. Wasn’t it obvious this was impossible from the start?

Epel: Huh?

Cater: Lambent flowers take about two to three years to bloom after they bud.

Epel: Whaaat?! T-Two to three years?!

Cater: That’s how long it takes to build up enough of that magic power they need to bloom.

So I don’t think there’s any way you could get a whole teacup in two months.

Epel: S-So then why did Professor Crewel tell me I only had two months to get the nectar?

Cater: Well, he lives by the motto “Discipline your dog till it stops biting the hand that feeds it.”

Epel: Discipline...?

Cater: He’s probably waiting for you to come crying “I can’t do this anymore~!” to him.

Epel: S-So, you mean... He was just being mean from the start?!

Cater: You got it~♪

Well, maybe it’s better to say it’s just his teaching style.

Huh? Epel-chan, are you listening?

Epel: ......

I... I’m not the best at studying... and yeah, I make a lot of mistakes... but... I always try to fix them...

And I... just want to be acknowledged...

So when he gave me a second chance, I thought “I have to put in everything I’ve got”...

But he was just being mean... My classmates were making fun of me too... I can’t believe this...

Cater: Wait, you’re actually really shocked?!

Epel: This happens, and I... I... and everyone got to... ah!

Cater: Hey, don’t cry, Epel-chan...

Epel: ...I want to prove them all wrong!!

Cater: That option?!

E-Epel-chan, you’ve actually pretty competitive, huh?

Epel: I'm not a mutt... or a pretty boy!

Cater: I think it’d be better if you apologized while you’ve still got time. ‘Cause this was an impossible game from the start...

Epel: It... can’t be impossible. I’m going to outsmart all of them!

Chapter 2

—INTERIOR HALLWAY—

Cater: Oh~? Are you heading back now, Epel-chan? Then let’s go to the Mostro Lounge together ♪

What do you say about making your Magicam debut by taking a selfie with me against a super aesthetic café backdrop?

Epel: Cater-san... Sorry, I can’t today, I think. I have to go to the botanical garden.

Cater: Botanical garden... What?

Are you still collecting lambent flower nectar because you want to prove yourself to Professor Crewel?

Epel: Yes, of course I am!

This is compensation for the valuable nectar I spilt. I’m going to pay it back.

Cater: You sure are stubborn. But remember we talked about how this was impossible from the start?

Apologizing ASAP will make everything sting less.

If you’re scared of Professor Crewel, want me to come with you?

Epel: C’mon! I thought I already told you “it can’t be impossible.”

Cater: Huh? What do you mean...?

Epel: Hehe... Here, come with me. I’ll show you something cool.

—BOTANICAL GARDEN - TEMPERATE ZONE—

Cater: Epel-chan, where are we going? We’re already really far into the botanical garden...

Epel: We’re almost there. Oh, here, I can see it.

Cater: Huh? Is something here...? Wait...

Whaaaaaat?

The flower bed is full of blooming lambent flowers!

Huh? You only had like five before, right? How many hundreds is this?

Plus they all look strong, and they’re already blooming flowers... No way...

How’d you do this?!

Epel: Hehe, it was as easy as a can of—er! It was very easy!

Remember what you told me, Cater-san?

About it taking time for lambent flowers to build up enough magic power to bloom?

Cater: Oh yeah, I remember.

Epel: Hearing what you said reminded me of something the teacher told us during class.

Crewel: This plant is able to convert various nutrients into magic power and store them.

When it blooms, it releases all of the magic it had saved, making it give off a radiant shine.

Epel: And in that case, if I just keep giving it nutrients, it’ll collect more and more magic and bloom quicker!

...Maybe? That’s what I thought.

But the store-bought soil you use for growing regular flowers wouldn’t work at all...

So I decided to give it a special fertilizer packed full of lots more nutrients everyday.

Cater: A special fertilizer?

Epel: I made it myself!

Cater: You say that in such a cute tone, like you just baked some sweets... but fertilizer, huh? You made some?

Epel: Yeah! It’s all inside this bag...

Cater: THAT STINKS!!

*Cough*... Wait... It’s making my eyes and nose burn!! What’s that disgusting smell?!

Epel: Ahaha, isn’t it normal for fertilizer to smell?

Cater: This is not normal!! This doesn’t bother you at all, Epel-chan?

Epel: It’s not that it doesn’t bother me, it’s just I’m used to field wor—wait, no, um... I’m used to gardening.

There’s so much fertilizer right at your disposal at this school! You could get as much food scraps as you want in the cafeteria.

Cater: Food scraps?!

Epel: And the most important thing to make this special fertilizer is...

Horse shit!

Cater: Horse... huh, what?

I just heard a word I never thought I’d hear coming out of the mouth of our delicate Epel-chan...

Epel: It’s horse shit. A horse’s dung. I’ve been getting some everyday from the horse-riding club.

The horses at this school eat really well, so they make loads of it everyday. It really helped me out.

Horse shit doesn’t just help grow the plants; it nurtures the soil too. It’s really the best fertilizer you could get!

Cater: D-Do you have to keep saying it so many times? Cay-kun is getting shaken up...

Umm, so, you’ve been collecting food scraps and horse dung everyday for two months...

Then mixed it together to make a suuuper smelly fertilizer, and that made the lambent flowers bloom at a crazy speed...?

Epel: Yeah!

Cater: Epel-chan, I can’t believe you! You’re way bolder than you look!

I’m actually blown away!

Crewel: Just when I thought I heard a ruckus over here... this is an odd pair. What are you doing in the botanical garden?

Hm? Don’t tell me I’m seeing... lambent flowers blooming in that flower bed?!

Epel: Professor Crewel, what do you think? I grew lambent flowers!

I’m really close to being able to get you one teacup’s worth of nectar... Please wait a little while.

If you’d like, I could even get a whole teapot’s worth.

Crewel: Heheh, hahaha! And here I thought you’d surely tuck your tail and come crying miserably to me... I didn’t see this coming.

You must have needed an extraordinary amount of dedication to raise lambent flowers up to this point, since they die so easily.

You’re a much pluckier puppy than I’d taken you for. Good boy, Epel Felmier.

Epel: Thank you...!

Crewel: However, don’t think I’m going to be lenient with your class and exam grades just because of this.

I’m just holding you in the same regard as the other puppies now.

This recognition is simply for making up for your shortcomings.

Epel: Yes, I understand. I’ll continue working as hard as I can from now on.

Crewel: Good answer. ...Keep this up and prove yourself to the other students too.

Epel: Okay!!

Cater: ...There you go! “Good boy” is Professor Crewel’s biggest compliment!

Epel: Ehehe...

Cater: All’s well that ends well, huh? ♪ Man, but anyway...

The sparkly, shiny lambent flowers, and a smiley Epel-chan. You wouldn’t even have to edit this; it’s already super photogenic.

Hey~ Is now the right time to make a Magicam account? I’m sure you’d go viral!

Epel: I’m sorry. I’m going to go to the library now... to study!

I’m going to keep doing my best in Potions... and maybe... I’ll even be able to surpass the Dorm Leader!

See you later, Cater-san. Excuse me!

Cater: Ehh~! Don’t be so cold~ Your super nice senior¹ will help you study~!

1. Your super nice senior

Cater refers to himself as “oniisan” (big brother), but I tried to substitute with something more fluent-sounding that still conveys a similar feeling of familiarity/him being “older”

Among Us with the First Years

Yall guess who’s late to the party! I played a long session with my friends and it jump-started my writing.

Warnings: mentions of blood and violence.

General

First of all, the number one rule of this game is to keep quiet and stay anonymous until the next meeting, but no one follows this. For one thing, y’all are sitting in a circle while playing this so it’s hard not to talk

Ace also finds it extremely funny to mess with Deuce and Sebek

Then there’s Grim who can’t play and is instead back-seat playing on your lap. He is also honest to a fault so it’s obvious when you two are the imposter

Ace, Deuce and Epel are always down to play, but it takes Jack and Sebek some goading for them to join. Luckily Jack never backs down from a competition and Lilia encourages Sebek to ‘enjoy his youth’

You all usually play a quick game during lunch time or do sleepovers at Ramshackle and play all night long

ANGRY RANTS IN THE GHOST CHATS

The emergency button was pushed. “Speed run on Ace let’s go!”

Ace

Ace uses the red character with the cherry hat

He’s the best at this game hands down

This smooth talker is good at persuading people, especially Deuce, to his side

He can also start a harmless conversation while murdering someone in cold blood like a psychopath

Maybe because he loves playing tricks on people that he’s able to use sabotages to his full advantage

Although Ace is the best at the game, because he’s a little shit he’s on everyone’s hit list and will die if he’s not careful

Surprisingly enough, Deuce isn’t Ace’s favorite person to kill. It’s Sebek. Sebek’s reactions just make everything funnier.

Ace looked at the task bar. “It’s been silent for awhile now. Who’s not done with their tasks yet?”

“I’ve finished,” replied Epel, the pouting ghost.

“Same,” you chirped while Grim huffed in your lap.

“I finished too,” Jack, the ghost, responded as he hovered disapprovingly at the imposter in-game.

“I-I still got a few left...” Deuce muttered.

“I have a few left as well,” Sebek declared. You/Grim, Deuce, Sebek and Ace are the only ones alive.

“Well, I’m done,” Ace sighed. “Can you two hurry up? It’s getting kinda boring waiting around like this.”

Oxygen tanks have been sabotaged.

“Funny how this happens right after you said that!” Grim accused Ace. “Y/n! Get the top one, the top one! We’re not gonna lose this game!”

“Alright already! Deuce stop panicking and finish up your tasks. Ace or Sebek should do-”

The moment you reached your destination, you watched helplessly as Ace’s cherry red character slashed your character in pieces. Grim hissed in annoyance as you silently stared up at Ace. He winked at you.

“-the bottom one...”

Deuce

Deuce uses the dark blue character with the egg

Ace is the first person he goes after when he’s the imposter

Unironically likes to do the tasks and is the fastest at doing them

He also can’t multi-task. Focusing on his tasks while watching out for corpses and the imposter is impossible for him

Will literally run past a corpse 5 times before finally noticing it

This boy isn’t good under pressure especially when everyone is yelling at him. If the oxygen tanks or reactor is sabotaged, Deuce will bang on every wall before reaching it

Also can’t come up with a good alibi when accused

Epel pushed the emergency button.

“I believe Deuce is the imposter... when I was passing by I saw him standing still in the hallway and when I came back he was still there.”

“W-what? No no no I wasn’t! I was moving around! I’m not the imposter!”

“That sounds exactly like what an imposter would say!” Sebek barked.

“Yep, I definitely think Deuce is the imposter,” Ace chuckled. Ace doesn’t really care if Deuce was the imposter or not. The frustrated look on Deuce’s face as he tries to think of a way to clear his name fueled the ginger’s amusement.

“I don’t know, maybe he was just taking his time looking at his map like the last few games?” You tried to defend Deuce, but only Jack agreed with you.

“Nah let’s kill him.” Ace

“Ya.” Epel

“Ditto.” Grim

“Agreed.” Sebek

“...” Jack

And so Deuce was ejected into space where it was revealed that he in fact was not the imposter. He pouted at his phone, still trying to figure out where to go next. “I told you I’m innocent.”

“Cheer up Deuce! Next time should be better,” you giggled at him. Deuce perked up at your laughter and beamed at you.

“Thanks for believing in me back there. I can count on you next time right?”

“...Deuce did you forget the imposter is chosen at random?”

The imposter was later revealed to be Epel.

Jack

Chose the white character with the ski goggles

The second worst player in the game

Is the person who always enforces others not to group together, but when he sees two people in a room he will hover over the door to make sure one of them won’t kill the other

The boy has a hard time lying and faking doing tasks and everyone exploits this

The quickest games are when he’s the imposter and sometimes it’s over before he can even kill someone

When Jack is innocent: “Jack are you the imposter?” “No”

When Jack isn’t: “Jack are you the imposter?” Ears flat, tail lifeless “...”

This game gives him the worst existential crisis because a part of him wants to play with all his might but the other JUST. CAN’T. LIE.

You found Sebek’s cold body lying in the admin room. All hell breaks loose once you report the body.

“FINALLY SOMEONE FOUND MY BODY! I was getting frustrated when SOMEBODY keeps passing me,” Sebek shouts while looking pointedly at Deuce.

Deuce shamefully looks away.

“Alright let’s start with the usual questions,” you began and turned to Jack. “Jack are you the imposter?”

“...No.”

“Okay Jack’s out-”

“Hold it! We shouldn’t rule out Jack just because he said so!” Ace interrupted you with a scowl on his lips. Jack snarled at the accusation.

“Are you calling me a liar?” he growled out. Unperturbed at the 192cm wall of muscle who was bristling at him, Ace’s face twisted into a mocking smirk.

Well I ain’t calling you a truther. “That’s the whole point of the game! For all we know, you could’ve finally wizened up and are lying to us now!”

“...Ace has a point,” Deuce held his chin in thoughtful agreement. On the other hand, you and Epel were conflicted.

“I’d say we vote Ace out,” Grim said with a sly grin on his face. “I saw his character look at us funny.” The little monster still held a grudge against Ace for saying Grim sucked at the game. (”But it’s true! You’re paws can’t even hit the buttons!” “Shut up Ace!”)

“That is suspicious,” simple, easily swayed Deuce agreed.

“Wait wait wait! How the fuck does that make sense?” Ace retorted. At the same time, Grim began smashing his paws at the screen and managed to vote for Ace. (“Hah! Take that Ace!”)

Deuce cast his vote immediately after, and Jack followed up while sending an amused smirk towards Ace. Epel was red in the face from trying to hold in his laughter from the silliness of it all. Eventually, he managed to vote for Ace.

Ace was ejected into space. Crew mates win.

“Lucky guess,” Ace grumbled under his breath.

Epel

Epel chooses the purple character and uses the straw hat

Has the most wins under his belt and is that one player that never gets killed

Epel usually plays it safe until someone riles him up and now he’s killing like he’s got something to prove

The master of vent assassinations.

Seriously. Usually when the first body gets reported, it’s been discovered that two other people have been killed already.

Tends to go on cams more than do the tasks

You, Ace and Jack were doing tasks in the electrical room. The lights go off and Epel’s purple character jumps out of a vent to stab you with its tongue. When the lights come back on, Epel is gone. Jack discovers your dead body and reports it immediately.

“It was Ace. I was in the same room with him and Y/n when the lights were off. Then he killed Y/n.”

“Hah? No way why would I do something that obvious?”

“So you admit you’re the imposter?”

Everyone votes Ace out. You discreetly squint at Epel for being so devious, but the lavender-haired boy only smiles sweetly at you in return. You were Epel’s first kill in this round, so after you finished your tasks you spent the rest of the game following him around.

You quickly realized that nothing was more frightening than Epel, a 156cm ball of fury.

You watched him hide in the medical room’s vent while Jack was being scanned. The minute Deuce, who stuck around to see Jack start the scan, left the room Epel jumped out and murdered Jack in cold blood. You saw Jack flinch as his character died, but he resumed his tasks without a grumble.

With only two people left alive, Epel stalked the halls to look for his last kill. He found both Sebek and Deuce in the cafeteria. One is at the vending machine, and the other is at the garbage disposal. Deuce finished first and spied Epel heading towards Sebek. “Oh Epel, did you finish your ta-” he watched as Epel’s character slashed into Sebek. The game ends soon after.

Thanks to Epel, the kill cool down was extended... again.

Sebek

Chose the lime green character with the horns (”THEY’LL NEVER BE AS MAJESTIC AS WAKA-SAMA’S”)

Living in the Valley of Thorns has him unfamiliar with technology in general so he’s extremely clumsy with the controls.

He also has a hard time navigating the area and is always hitting the walls and missing the doors

Also the slowest at doing tasks

Speaking of tasks, there was one game where he thought he finished all of them and he ended up giving the imposter enough time to kill everyone (”If the tasks are not all green that means you didn’t finish them!” “WHAT!?”)

Sebek is very mission-oriented and although he considers it beneath him to lie, he will to fulfill his objective

Will go the long way around to try and avoid his shifty friends

Absolutely fun to tease but not the worst at the game to be fair

“Wait so who did you see kill Jack, Deuce? Sebek or Hot Sebek?” you asked the teal-eyed teen.

“For the last time STOP USING MY NAME!”

“Quiet normal Sebek,” you shushed him. “Let Deuce talk.”

“It was the hot one... H-hot Sebek.” Poor Deuce tried so hard to contain his laughter as he spoke. Ace was already rolling on the floor and Epel was stifling a chuckle with his hand.

Sebek was fuming but stayed quiet while everyone else voted. Soon Hot Sebek AKA Ace gets ejected into space and the crew members win.

“We’re starting a new session and this time no one else will use my name. GOT IT?”

“Sounds good,” Jack said as he glowered at Ace. “I don’t understand why you would want to hide your identity. We should all face each other with everything bared - fair and square!”

“That is exactly right, Jack! Cowardly tactics should be frowned upon!”

Ace deadpanned, “Did you guys forget that’s the whole point of the game?”

Note

Hi can I request a Lilia imagine where he and gender neutral s/o are dating and everyone is wondering how he got a beautiful person like s/o?

Hey there! Umh ... I'm not sure I met your request, frankly I didn't have many ideas, it came short! I'm really sorry! If there is any problem, write me!

19- Twisted Wonderland- Lilia Vanrouge x reader

Lilia is certainly an influential person in the Twisted Wonderland scenario, always alongside Malleus. Having said that, his behavior sometimes takes this idea far away from him.

Perhaps it is more his playful and spiteful behavior that makes students turn up their noses.

He certainly has a savoir-faire that gives him a certain charm in the eyes of the people, as well as a reverential respect.

So when s/o appeared at his side for the first time, they seemed so cute in appearance, nobody was surprised. In any case, Lilia also looks nice, if it weren't for his beautiful crimson eyes that convey that slightly demonic side of him.

S/o must have been, according to the people, some psychopathic being under that sweet cover.

Instead, S/o proved to be an extremely pleasant person. Kind, lovable, nice, that’s what are them.

The fact that someone can love them is not a question at all, the question is how they can love Lilia in this way.

The way he smiles at them makes him look almost like a normal boy, and the way they reciprocate with a sweet smile make it seem like he can never do anything wrong.

People sometimes wonder if they know who their boyfriend is, what he can do.

But every time someone tries to warn s/o, they will kindly apologize for Lilia, and then simply go with him.

The two of them are seen walking around the school together. Azul and the twins Leech meet them in the cafeteria, Leona caught a glimpse of them at the greenhouse, every now and then they meet them at the library to read together. Once it happened that s/o went to ask Trey for help to cook a cake for Lilia.

There is no doubt that the two are dating, and there is no doubt that they love each other.

Lilia always treats s/o with extreme attention, he often makes them laugh and affectionately kisses the tender blush that sprinkles their cheeks every time he compliments them.

Lilia seems almost a different person with them in the eyes of others, if it were not for his mischievous smile that never seems to abandon him every time his eyes rest on someone who is not s/o.

Even if the students will never say it out loud, they are convinced that s/o could find a better person, or at least less disturbing. Despite this, the happiness that Lilia seems to be able to give to s/o is something that nobody really thinks they can match.

Many would like to walk like this beside him, but Lilia is certainly an extraordinary person, and when he caresses their cheek so softly it is clear to everyone that s/o belong only to him.

Mari in Twisted Wonderland | Abridged Version | Heartslabyul

Chapter 1

Mari had her first prophetic dream and she’s like owo whats this

It was about Alice seeing the Card soldiers paint the white roses red and shit.

But then, she was awoken by a loud knocking and wonders who it could possibly be at this hour.

Grim and her decided to go down. Though, she tried finding a weapon first, just in case the person turns out to be some murderer or whatever. Manages to find a knife

They went downstairs to the front door and opened it to see who it was. Turns out that it was Ace.

She relaxes and lets her guard down.

Ace: Is that a knife?!

Mari: Yeah, what if you were a murderer?

Grim: Hah! I would’ve taken care of it myself, puny human— Huh?! You got a collar on!

“I ate a tart,” Ace replied, crossing his arms with a scowl on his features.

Mari tilted her head in confusion and curiosity. “A tart?”

He nodded. “I was hungry when I got back to the dorm and I found some tarts inside the fridge. Three whole tarts! So I ate one and it was really good. Then the dorm leader found me eating his tart and was all like “Tart theft is unforgivable! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!” and that’s how I got this collar… The end.” He used a shrill and high-pitched voice to imitate his dorm leader’s words.

She couldn’t help but stand in silence at that story, squinting.

“Both of you are in the wrong,” Grim simply remarked with an unamused look on his face. To which the girl nodded in agreement.

“Isn’t sealing away my magic for stealing a tart a bit too far?!” Ace cried out. “For a wizard, it’s like having your arms and legs chained up. And there were three whole tarts, it’s not like he could eat all of them by himself. There’s got to be a limit to how narrow-minded you could be!”

“Which is why you’re both in the wrong,” Mari retorted, “You should’ve asked permission first, but he also shouldn’t be so harsh.”

All he could do was groan at her reply.

Grim’s eyes widened and he crossed his arms. “What if the tarts were for a party? Someone’s birthday, or something. Heh, I’m a genius.” He grinned, sharp teeth glinted in the moonlight.

“Birthday?” Ace asked, placing his hand on the back of his head.

“That might explain why he was so angry,” Mari said, deciding to clean up a little more since she was awake. The two just watched as she did this, not helping because they were little shits.

He huffed, narrowing his eyes at her. “I thought you were gonna say he was being tyrannical, prefect.”

She shrugged. “He was certainly being unreasonable, but it’s wrong to steal,” she replied as she took a broom and sweeped the dusty floor.

Grim glared at him, placing his paws on his hips. “You’re at fault for stealing his tart in the first place.”

“There’s a chance he’ll forgive you if you apologised tomorrow,” the brunette girl advised him as she threw away the dust that she swept up. The wood under her feet creaked as she returned.

“Grudges over food are the worst,” her partner remarked, an unamused expression on his face. His bright blue eyes widened in realisation. “Wait! I never got those tuna cans from the Headmaster!”

“Fine. Whatever. All I gotta do is apologise, right?” Ace sighed. He looked at her with a glare. “This is your idea, so you better come with me.”

All she did was nod. She was going with him regardless anyway.

“So, where do I sleep tonight?” He asked, an inquisitive look in his eye.

“You’re actually staying the night?” Grim crossed his arms. “Every room aside from ours is still a mess. Clean a room for yourself.”

He made a face. “Bleh, I don’t wanna.” Then, he turned to Mari with a smile. “Prefect~ Let me sleep in your room. I’m slim, so I won’t take a lot of space.”

“Aight.”

Grim’s eyes widened to the size of saucers at her lax response. “Ffgnaa?! You’re just going to say yes?!”

“I’m used to sharing beds with people.” Mari proceeded to have a flashback to every time the Demon brothers invited themselves to her room and stayed there without really giving her a choice in the matter, as well as every time she had to sleep in the same room as them. Honestly, at least Ace had the decency to ask first.

“Sweet! Thanks, Mari.” Ace flashed her a grin.

After that, they all went to their rooms to sleep. The boy was right, he didn’t take up much space. Plus, the bed was big enough for the two of them. Unfortunately, Ace hogged the sheets. The bastard.

When morning came, so did the loud knocking. This time it was Deuce and he scolded Ace for getting collared.

While heading to class, Grim teased Ace about his collar and not being able to use magic.

Ace will remember that.

They went to the Heartslabyul dorm and Mari is like -surprised pikachu-

She loves it a lot. The hearts and roses were gorgeous. If only she had magic, then she would’ve been sorted into a nice dorm. Ugh.

No matter. She’d just have to work hard to make the Ramshackle dorm shine.

Then they met the e-boy-- I mean, Cater and he was painting the white roses red.

Mari proceeds to have flashbacks to her dream earlier. Huh. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

Dude recognises them as the notorious first years that broke the 10,000,000 madol chandelier so he takes a selfie with them.

He has them paint the roses with him. Grim accidentally sets the roses on fire, Deuce accidentally turns them blue. Turns out it’s a bad idea to ask freshmen that are inexperienced with magic to do your chores.

Ace complained and asked why they’re painting them red. He said that they look pretty as white roses. Mari agreed and expressed that she felt that the natural colors of the roses were fine.

Cater explained that it’s tradition for roses to be red for Unbirthday parties. And that they use flamingos in seven different colors for croquet with hedgehogs as the balls.

Mari wondered if that was safe or ethical. Either way, this dorm was proving to be quite strange for her.

Ace remembered that he was supposed to apologise. Cater asked if he had a tart of apology and he said no.

Cater told him that he can’t let him in the dorm then. The first years tried fighting him but lost and got kicked out.

The bell rang and they had to really rush to Potions class.

Crewel appeared and Mari had a “Oh no he’s hot!” moment. She paid extra close attention to him during class.

Then it was History class. Mari mostly looked at Lucius more than Trein but was also fascinated with learning the history of Twisted Wonderland.

Then PE came around. Mari saw Vargas and was like “Damn he got some tiddies lmao” Then she dies.

Jk. But the 20 laps and 100 pushups were exhausting for her.

It was break time. Ace and Deuce talked about the classes not being too different from regular school. Mari agreed that they were somewhat similar to the classes she had at RAD.

Then they noticed Grim was trying to skip class.

Ace made fun of Mari for losing him and told her that if she wanted his help, then she should buy him a chocolate croissant. Deuce wanted an iced latte.

All it really took for Mari was to give Deuce her best puppy eyes until he agreed to help. Then she said she didn’t want Ace’s help since he didn’t have his magic anyway. This aggravated him into helping her. Heh, suckers.

Turns out she didn’t really need their help anyway since she just scolded Grim into going with her, saying he won’t become a great wizard if he didn’t put effort into his studies.

It was lunchtime and Grim got into trouble with delinquent upperclassmen over food since he bumped into them and the egg broke. One of them said that breaking the egg is the best part about eating carbonara.

Which confused Mari greatly because she loves eating carbonara and has never ever heard of eating egg on it. Perhaps it was normal in Twisted Wonderland too. Heartslabyul was already strange enough.

They got into a fight but won this time and the delinquents ran off, yelling about pasta again.

The first year group started eating and Grim asked what the other dorms are like. Cater popped up next to them, surprising the four of them. Turns out Trey was with him as well.

Cater basically just tried to get all buddy buddy and exchanged numbers.

Mari told him she didn’t have a phone and he offered to go phone shopping with her and called it a date

She was just like “bro im fucking POOR”

Trey told him to chill and they went back on track. Cater started a conversation about the seven dorms.

Time for Mari’s reactions to the other dorms

Heartslabyul - Ew. She doesn’t like overly strict people or environments.

Savanaclaw - Haha, furry jock dorm. Probably found Jack hot since she’s into the strong silent types.

Octavinelle - Sea Witch’s dorm, huh? Does that mean they’re business guys? Oh look, it’s that weird guy from the entrance ceremony that “wanted Riddle’s collar”

Scarabia - The smart ones, according to Trey. There’s the guy who got his butt set on fire during the entrance ceremony and there’s… a really hot guy that’s exactly her type. His hair looked so long and silky and his eyes were mysterious.

Pomefiore -

Grim: there’s a super cute girl over there!

Deuce: A girl besides Mari in an all-boys’ school?!

Mari: Nah that’s a dude

Ace: Eh? How do you know?

Mari: I can see his adam’s apple

Mari, internally: Shawty had them apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur--

So apparently Pomefiore is the “Beauty” dorm and the dorm leader has like five million followers on Magicam. That’s cool, but she’s more interested in their poisons.

Ignihyde - Cater called the students of that dorm introverts. Trey said that they were good with technology. They seemed real neat.

Diasomnia - Powerful and considered celebrities, as well as having an aura that makes them hard to approach. Though, Mari lowkey thought that about everyone except that one guy that got his butt set on fire. He seemed very friendly. Maybe it was her social anxiety talking, maybe they were actually just intimidating. Anyway, Lilia popped up from above and scared them. He basically just said that he’s not a child and that Diasomnia welcomes students from other dorms. So there’s that, at least. Though, this doesn’t do anything to extinguish the intimidating aura from the rest of their students. Then the strange dude left.

Ace started talking shit about Riddle while Mari blankly stared at Riddle who was right behind him. Boi he ded

Riddle then went on with his spiel about rulebreakers. Honestly, Mari pretty much spaced out during this in order not to roll her eyes at him.

Then he left to get two sugars for his lemon tea that the rules state that he’s supposed to drink after a meal.

Trey tries to explain that Riddle’s intentions aren’t bad and that he’s just trying to make the dorm better.

To which Mari replies: “Sometimes it doesn’t matter what your intentions are. If you’re clearly making the people around you unhappy and uncomfortable without actual regard for how they feel, then that’s that.”

And Grim said: “Someone with good intentions doesn’t randomly collar people!”

They laughed, but one could easily tell that it wasn’t genuine.

Then bam, more exposition comes and Cater explains what unique magics are.

Then they start talking about tarts. Mari offered to help make one with Trey and Ace while Deuce and Grim wanted out. They only wanted to help after Trey said they could eat some tart if they helped out.

They started chestnut picking and met Leona who was a fucking bitch because she accidentally stepped on his tail.

Jk. He drinks his respect women juice so he’s not as mean and leaves her with only a warning for the most part.

She and Grim got back to Ace and Deuce, they picked the chestnuts and got back to the Heartslabyul dorm to make that tart.

Trey made his whole joke with the oyster sauce but Mari just looked at him with pure disbelief in her eyes. Then Trey realized he needed more ingredients since they brought too much chestnuts and Deuce and Mari volunteered to buy them from the shop. Grim also said he wanted to come since he was tired of mixing flour.

So they go to the Mystery Shop and get the shit. Mari wonders for a moment if Sam has got anything that could possibly help her get home but then shakes her head, saying she’ll see about that later. They head back to the Heartslabyul dorm but run into trouble, then came the reveal of Deuce’s “Bad Boy” personality. Mari was like -surprised pikachu- while he beat the shit out of the delinquents, silently cheering him on. After that, he got upset because his “honor student” persona was gone. It’s especially bad since he felt that he scared Mari.

Achievement unlocked: Deuce’s Backstory

Grim asked if being an honor student meant that he should just grin and bear everything. Mari agreed and reassured that being an honor student didn’t necessarily mean that he should be a pushover. Then she broke it to him that the eggs were unfertilised and would never hatch. Now it was his turn on the surprised pikachu face.

They bought another set of eggs and went back to the Heartslabyul dorm safe and sound. The tart was finished. Hooray! Though, Deuce was still shocked about the chicks so Mari had to pat his back. They started eating some tarts after Cater came by to check on them. He then brought up Trey’s unique magic.

Trey revealed his unique magic and explained it to them. They were impressed. But once they were done, he told Ace he can’t sleep in Heartslabyul and gave him and Deuce permission to sleep in the Ramshackle Dorm so they did.

Next day. They got to the Unbirthday Party and Ace gave the tart to Riddle.

Riddle is like “Fuck you. The Law of the Queen of Hearts says one must never bring a mont blanc tart to an Unbirthday Party! REEEEEEE” And then Mari wonders how many rules there are. He answers with 810 and that he memorized them since he’s dorm leader. She’s like “Dude, he’s a freshman, he can’t possibly memorize every rule.” To which Riddle countered with “I memorized them on my first day in NRC! If I can do it, then he should be able to as well.”

“Not everyone has to be like you!” She proceeds to have flashbacks to her narcissistic grandmother who always believed that she was right and demanded that everyone be like her. This causes her to dislike him.

“As the dorm leader of Heartslabyul, out of respect to the strictness of the Queen of Hearts, I can’t ignore this violation. Throw the mont blanc and these rulebreakers out!”

Ace started arguing with him as well and the two third years tried to help. Riddle goes on about how he has the highest grades and is the most powerful, which makes him the most correct. This makes Mari’s stomach churn more because of how much he reminds her of her grandmother. Grim says he’s a selfish tyrant who wastes food and ends up getting himself and Deuce collared as well.

Then they get thrown out by the third years and meet Chenya, who gives them a tip to talk to Trey and unlock Riddle’s tragic backstory.

And they did. Because it’s always a good idea to listen to the advice of a strange guy who pops into conversations head-first, literally.

Achievement Unlocked: Riddle’s Backstory Part 1

Mari’s reaction was that she sympathised with him and understood, considering that her grandmother was somewhat similar. However--

“His past is not an excuse for him to be a tyrant. Perhaps that’s harsh of me to say, but I still stand by it. He believes he’s right all the time and fails to notice how miserable the rest of Heartslabyul is.”

Ace put in his two cents and said it was Trey’s fault that he’s like this, dropping a truth bomb on him. Mari agreed and said “Friends help each other to become better people, not allow them to grow worse and worse.” Then he called Trey lame for being afraid of getting his head chopped off.

Crowley pops up like “STFU THIS IS THE LIBRARY YOU LIL SHITS” and they said he was the loudest so he started whispering “stfu you lil shits”

They explained the situation and he suggested moving dorms but Ace was like “but thats a pussy move” so he suggested fighting Riddle to the death for the position of dorm leader. But without the “to the death” part. Ace and Deuce agreed to challenge Riddle. Grim wanted to go too but Crowley said other people from different dorms can’t so he got sad.

Timeskip to the match and it was over in less than 5 seconds. Mari told Riddle that he was wrong but then he started mocking her and her family for barely being able to use magic and having a bad education and then called her completely inadequate. She just looked at him blankly considering that she didn’t particularly care about him insulting her or her parents.

But then Ace punched him for saying that. And Mari was internally like, “I have decided that I love this guy”. Then he went onto this speech about how kids aren’t their parents’ trophies and that it was Riddle’s fault for not making a friend scold him for being a tyrant. He also calls him a baby. But not like the “uwu baby” kinda way, the kind of immature brat kinda way.

Shit hits the fan and Trey finally had enough and used his unique magic to overwrite Riddle’s to remove the magic-sealing collars. Then Riddle fucking overblots.

Mari is definitely surprised. Then noticed the creature behind him to look similar to the beast she and the shared brain cell trio fought in the Dwarves’ Mines. So, she steeled herself and ordered the trio to attack Riddle, especially once Crowley said that he’d lose his life if this went for too long. The third years came to help as well while their Headmaster evacuated the other students.

And they beat the shit out of Riddle. Then Mari kinda spaces out again and has this vision of Riddle’s past. This wasn’t the first time she has seen a vision of someone else’s past, but it still confused her. She wasn’t in the Devildom anymore, and she didn’t have magic.

Achievement Unlocked: Riddle’s Backstory Part 2

Then she’s shaken back to earth by Ace and he’s like “Oi, don’t space out now, dumbass.” “Did you see that?” “See that Riddle overblotted? How could I not?!” “Nevermind”

Riddle is crying and she feels bad so she rubs his back. Her motherly instincts get the better of her at this point. He’s surprised at how she’s treating him, considering the only female figure he had in his life was his mother who was strict and harsh. When Ace started yelling at him, she scolded him and told him to yell at him later.

“Ace, cut him some slack. You can yell at him when he’s recovered. He almost died ffs” “SO DID WE”

Then he told Riddle to do the Revenge Unbirthday Party. Riddle agreed before Mari and Crowley decided to take him to the infirmary. Since she was gone, Grim got to eat the black rock again.

While Riddle was recovering from blot, Mari took it upon herself to help him out. He appreciated it a lot.

After the Revenge Unbirthday Party, Mari thought about her experience so far. The strange dreams, the overblot, the vision.

Then she remembered something. Before leaving the Devildom, Barbatos pulled her aside and had a talk with her. He held her hand and a faint glow emitted from it before he let her go. “A fragment of my power,” he said. But she didn’t understand what he meant.

When she slept that night, she saw Belphie and nearly cried because she missed him. Then she explained what happened to her and that she was in Twisted Wonderland. He told her that he’ll inform the others so that they can find a way to get her back, and that she should hang on in the meantime.

And so she did, unaware that her adventure just begun.

Other Information/Notes/Fun Facts about Quentin

- Quentin has lied about her Unique Magic to her fellow student and teachers. If you ask Azul, Vil, Riddle, Jamil, Ruggie, Divus, Vargas or Crowley about Quentin's Unique Magic, they will say he has 'I Want To Disappear!' which allows Quentin to hide to his own pocket dimension for as long as he wishes. But as the main story progresses, this group of people fimd that Quentin lied and finds out out her real Unique Magic when she uses her abilities more often in the main story.

- Quentin uses Dark Magic, despite who she is twisted from. She says he's never been able to use Light Magic. But, this is later proved false in a personal story by several people, who says after Quentin Overblotted he changed to Dark Magic and that he could use Light Magic for his first and second year, but somehow was able to switch magic types after Overblotting, which shouldn't be possible but by some twist of fate happened to him.

- Quentin throughout the story is mostly seen with her tied tied up. Which is mentioned a few times throughout the story and multiple times in personal stories, the boys say Quentin's hair was tied up much tighter and was much better kept before Quentin Overblotted, then became loosely tied and combed afterwords and even more so when Grim and MC became a prominent force in Night Raven College. They also say Quentin's hair is now tied up by a school's ribbon which is really werid, which Quentin explains is because his hairties he originally had are somewhere in Pomefiore dorm (later revealed that Vil has them, because he snatched it from Dorji and is currently using them for his own hairstyle), and he doesn't have much money to spare to buy new hairties. But, as the story goes on, she is seen without the hairties and when it is revealed Quentin is actually a girl to the school (which is somewhat late game), she lets her hair down completely.

- When Duo Magic first starts out, Quentin noticeably has as many as a lot more characters to use Duo Magic with. A lot more than most do. As, she starts out with Malleus, Silver, Lilia, Kalim and Jamil. Which seems to increase as she later gets Grim, Trey, Cater, Riddle, Leona and Ruggie [this is because I have a soft spot for Duo Magic, and I think we need more of it. I'll probably give my characters Duo magic with everybody because I'm that big of a werido].

- Quentin also noticeably has more GROOOVY! CGs than other characters do for each of her outfits [because I may or may not secretly be a masochist or I love this character too much, I don't know right now].

- Quentin also will sometimes make unintentional comments that may or may be 4th wall breaking depending on how you interpret it as well as in a club that she says has four regular people besides himself in it called the Literature Club. which is supposed to be a Doki Doki Literature Club reference. [Because I realized I did that a few minutes ago and got a good laugh out of it]

- Quentin also will make unintentional references to books and sometimes musicals and plays, that is often commented by other characters.

- Quentin, like Sebek and Silver, has a different magic pen than her peers. Not too different, but different enough to be noticed as it is a multi- color like stylus pen with her dorm's logo engraved all over the pen and carved around a light brown jewel. But, it doesn't stand out as much as Sebek and Silver's magic pens. In chibi form, the pens look exactly the same just colored differently. Quentin explains early on in the game to Grim and MC that he was involved with something big (when she Overblotted) and his magic pen he got when he was a freshman is now being held by certain countries as evidence, but they agreed to get him a new pen because he had little to no money.

Yuri on Ice Re-Watch and Live Commentary, Episode 12: Final Skate: Gotta Super-Super-Supercharge It!!! Grand Prix Final Free Skate

It. Is. FINISHED.

You know that feeling when a fan-nish project is projected to take only a few weeks, during the Summer, mind you, but ends up spanning, oh, about three months? I do, now.

**Begin rant**

Me, too, Vitya! End what, Yuri??

I mean, it's more than a little crazy that he thought this is something Victor would be relieved to here. It's as if they have been existing on different planes of reality.

Listen. Victor has shed tears a grand total of two times in 12 episodes and both incidents involved Yuri. Yet Yuri still doesn't think he’s important enough to merit more of his Victor’s time away from skating. Just. YURI. AUGH!!!

The actor's decision to read this line as if Yuri's revelation has not stabbed Victor in the heart is masterful. There's only so much pretending the man is capable of.

This is hella relatable as someone who also doesn't want to be touched when I'm upset by THE VERY PERSON WHO UPSET ME. Give him a minute to process this, Yuri.

This is just a horrible, horrible cap. Vitya is thoroughly in kicked-puppy-mode.

Um, did you ignore absolutely everything else that occurred afterwards? Including when he straight-up said to your face that he wishes you'd never retire?

Don't fire him, Yuri!

Yuri was really out there listenin' to friends instead of Victor. How many times did Victor ignore the others' entreaties to return to competition to remain his coach? Don't join that Greek chorus. Yuri.

I beg to differ. He's always concerned about your well-being, which is why you gave him an expensive-ass symbol of devotion and put it on his ring finger. Good God, boy.

This inspiration thing goes both ways, Yuri. LISTEN TO VICTOR. He is telling you what HE wants In This Moment. Not what YOU think is best for HIM.

Like hell! You two hash this out right now!

**End rant**

Look, a skater who was popular back when I used to watch. LOL. Stephane L-l-l-l-lambiel!

So, sports reporter Marooka remarks about how Yuri hasn't been seen practicing in public since the day after the short program, which has worried his fans (see, Yuri, you have FANS.) You mean to tell me Yuri and Victor have been at odds with each other for two whole days now?!?!

Cartoon!Lambiel picks up on Yuri and Victor's uncharacteristically low energy.

You don't say, Stephane.

Also: Victor knows Stephane, personally. What a celeb.

At least flag guy has re-energized himself since JJ's short program.

"Don't eff it up."

He eff'd it up.

Wow, shades of Yuri from episode one.

Deep, bro.

Aww! The parents in this show are the best cheerleaders. If only there was time during the season to meet all of them. I'd def like to see Phichit's parents.

So, JJ's dad is reminiscing on some of his son's past coaches. Celestino, then played by Peg Bundy, was one of them.

Also…. I'm really curious as to what JJ needed to say yes to.

Damn you, Mickey Lannister Crispino! Hands off!

Seung Gil! What an awesome cameo.

I don't know much about scoring in figure skating but this seems a mite high for a program that was mostly jumps.

Yay! No other comment needed.

Phichit's ice-show dreams are as adorable as he is. Christophe with a hamster cap is utterly, utterly charming. I would fork over cold, hard blood plasma donation cash to see this in person.

It shouldn't be like this between them; especially not when Yuri plans to end his competitive career, here.

And really, why is Yuri so upset with Victor? I suspect Yuri's selfishness runs deeper than either of them realize. IMO, he's afraid Victor might come to resent him if he retires from skating to coach him, then regrets it.

But honestly, Yuri should know Victor better than that by now.

Despite everything, Victor is still trying to be the coach Yuri needs.

But… Yuri doesn't want Victor to play coach right now.

So tickle his fancy, Victor.

Um…

Victor has an interesting sense of humor.

Also, he did win the one against the teenagers at the local comp. Though I have no idea if a qualifier is considered part of the Senior circuit.

Yeah, katsudon's not the only way to celebrate, Yuri. Victor wants to really give you something worth winning for.

This is just an R&B song waiting to happen.

Hmm… whatever could you mean, Yuri?

I really love how they've cut Yuri's long program with clips of Victor from Yuri's memory. It's a visual culmination of a journey.

Ahh, that's what he meant about making up his mind about his goal. And that's why he wanted Victor to stop playing at being coach. Because he wasn't going to listen to him, anyway. You know, the usual.

Yuri's internal dialogue during his routine reveals his desire to stay in figure skating with Victor forever and his fear of killing Victor's career if he remains Yuri's coach. Victor… have you not shared with the man how competition was already slowly killing you? Might wanna do that sometime in the very, very near future.

Yuri… just loves Victor. He can't always articulate how much, but he can show it. His program is one big tribute to Victor and Yuri's desire to prove everyone how much Victor means to him as a coach and an inspiration.

And Victor gets the message loud and clear.

Mari+Minako are, yet again, Me.

Something I should've wondered by now is how half-blind Yuri can tell where Victor is standing.

The monkey-on-his-back that is Anxiety.

Seriously, you performed to the absolute best of your ability, Yuri. Relax. Relate. Release.

Wowsa, dude.

Sooooo, Victor has just congratulated Yuri on his record-breaking performance and implies that he might come back to competition in the same breath he confesses his pride in both his pupils. The possibility of Victor's return delights Yuri to no-end but gives me pause. A lot of pause.

Victor. My dude. Are you just trying not to ruin the mood? Because quite honestly, one of the very valuable lessons you should've learned on this journey is that a little selfishness can be a good thing. I know you want to make a grand gesture after Yuri's grand gesture but YOU CAN'T BOTH KEEP MAKING GRAND GESTURES. You'll hurt yourselves trying to show the world your love.

Moving on... Chris is on the ice, having serious thoughts about how Yuri, who was rumored to retire after the GPF, beat his personal best. He laments that it won't be as easy for him to win gold as he first thought.

Then he witnesses the happy couple doing their thing.

And gets distracted.

This is in regards to Victor. Chris is rethinking his initial calculation of GPF - Victor = gold for him.

Aww, Chris is Phichit's buddy. Why am I not surprised?

This scene is after Chris decides to change an earlier jump composition to the second half of his program. Can't say he's not a fighter.

Dawww, Minako.

Really? That's it?! By my estimation, that program was better than JJ's. What am I missing?

Boo, this is the last time I'll see my babe, Leo.

But I concur. Go, Otabek! I'm fond of his music choices, skating, and his costumes.

So, Victor finds Yakov to tell him he wants to return to competition. I mean, it couldn’t have waited until after Yurio’s skate, V?

Once upon a time, news of Victor's return may have pleased Yurio. Now, his first concern is Yuri.

And Victor is Not. Happy. About this. He’s about to cry here, tbqh.

Annnnd he requires immediate comfort. This is sad. More than sad, when I consider Victor is letting Yuri call the shots, here. Competing again should be Victor's own decision, as well.

Yeah, that's good advice to pass along, Victor.

I've been debating as to whether or not I should parse out the intricacies of Victor's isolation. Honestly, I think the writers did a well-enough job of it. I suppose I still wonder, as many others have, about his family.

I'll go out on a limb and assume he has or had people in his life that taught him to love like he does and to treat other people kindly. One doesn't learn those sorts of things in a vacuum. However, I headcanon Victor as having been scouted and, once recruited, moved closer to a training facility, a la these athletes.

So, isolated? Yes. Friend-less and family-less? I doubt it, or at least it wasn't always that way.

Meanwhile, Yuri's looking for his man. Perhaps to tell him that he's already changed his mind about retiring? In that case, please, look harder Yuri!

Just needed to slide in this cap of Mila getting sprung by Otabek's skating. Good taste, Mila.

I don't know who JJ has in his pocket on the judging panel, but Otabek just completed a perfect program AND he was ahead of JJ after the short program. Logic would dictate he'd be ahead of JJ now. But, do as you will, YOI.

This is in regards to Yuri. In flashbacks during Yurio's routine, we discover that he was actually impressed with Yuri's prior GPF free skate, despite the errors. It was only after he found Yuri crying in the bathroom stall that he lost respect for him. Must be Yurio's special brand of encouragement: "Stop crying, get better, or get out of the game!" Yeah. That must be it.

Anyway, now Yurio has changed his tune and doesn't want Yuri to retire, at all. Cute.

Lilia is so proud of her angry, pseudo- son.

Yurio completes his most difficult program ever with only one fall. During his skate, it's revealed that part of his motivation was to become a new goal for Yuri to surpass. That's nice and all, but not at the expense of your own health, Yurio.

I don't think Yuri would want that for him, either.

Yurio defeats Yuri by a sliver of a margin. I will admit to initially being surprised by the result before considering (and re-considering, after this re-watch) a few things:

Yurio won because it's entirely possible he may not win again for at least a little while.

His lack of stamina is well-documented, he's in the Senior circuit with grown men who can, and have, beat him already, and he's yet to hit a growth spurt. If the series continues into a second season, then I foresee the writers exploring these very realistic scenarios for Yurio.

This is partially why I don't predict Yurio achieving what Victor has, at least not right away. There's not enough drama in that narrative to fill up an entire season, IMO.

Or, at the very least, they'll use Yurio to address the conflict over becoming as isolated as Victor has during his struggle to maintain dominance in the sport.

Yurio won because the name of the show is 'Yuri on Ice’.

Also, if the writers decide to have Yuri eventually retire (because he is of that age), then they don't even have to change the show’s title. How convenient.

Last, and what I think is obviously implied in this episode: Yurio won so that Yuri would change his mind about retiring.

However… Yuri had already changed his mind. And his biggest motivator in that decision was still Victor, so… kinda wish they hadn't made Yurio go out and suffer like that for no good reason. Honestly, there's little chance of him repeating this performance.

Anyway….

Awww! Yay!

So, Victor's in a teasing mood after Yuri presents him with his well-earned silver medal. Victor insists that he only wants to kiss gold. So, what do you have that would be a suitable substitute, Yuri?

Eff that medal Yuri just unceremoniously dropped to the ground in preference to hopping in Victor's lap. Coach me for another year, Victor!

What a lovely step forward for our boy, Yuri. He didn't win gold but, all joking aside, Victor doesn't care. Yuri’s next gold medal will be a token to Victor, instead of unnecessary proof that he was worth Victor’s time, all along.

Besides, I think he’s already given Victor the only golden item he truly wants.

But, I mean, only if you WANT to, Victor. Are you afraid Yuri will change his mind if you change yours? I hope that's not the case.

Apparently, this is the only payment Victor will accept for coaching Yuri. Ok, so you're going to compete and hopefully earn some sponsorship money to pay your own bills all while coaching someone else for free? Do we need to have a 'Victor on Ice,' a show about Victor re-learning the value of doing one thing at a time?

Roll credits!

How sweet!

The serendipity that is cartoon-world. "I want to coach a skater from another country while also competing for my own country and you can't stop me because I'm animated!"

"I want to do a pair skate with my coach for my exhibition. Know why? Because the writers say I can!! Ha!"

Anyway, this is romantic AF.

Cut to this adorbs face...

Running towards this one, here.

And yeah. WE'D BETTER. Because their story isn’t over!

The End!

If you managed to get through my all streams of consciousness, full of bad screencaps and even worse grammar, then I humbly and sincerely thank you! I enjoyed doing it and hope you enjoyed reading it.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Hanamaki Takahiro/Matsukawa Issei, Kindaichi Yuutarou/Kunimi Akira, Kyoutani Kentarou - Relationship Additional Tags: Kyoutani Kentarou/Yahaba Shigeru - Freeform, they dont officially get together by the end so they dont go in the ship tags, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, War, Blood Series: Part 4 of Royalty AU

Shigeru was going to lose his mind. It wasn’t going to be the nightmares, or losing his home, or even having to share space with a socially maladjusted alpha who had resting bitch face from hell.

No, Shigeru was going to lose his mind from waiting.

It should have been an easy job. Hell, he could have tried sleeping some more if he’d wanted, that’s how unnecessary he was. If anyone came after the camp, Makki and Maiya would protect them, and he would just be stuck minding the children like the good omega his father had raised him to be.

Shigeru grimaced at memories of lessons upon lessons, commands of “sit up straight” and “don’t stare at anyone for too long” and “don’t let your thoughts show on your face” and, most importantly, “make sure you only show your best self” following him everywhere.

His father had meant well. Probably. It was what he’d always said. “I just want you to find someone to take care of you. I won’t be around to protect you forever.”

The thing was, Shigeru didn’t want to be taken care of, and he certainly didn’t want to be protected. He could take care of himself, if his father would ever let him learn how to. Sharp raps on his hands and losing food had convinced him to stop insisting that, though.

And now, because of a life spent sitting still and looking pretty, being taught to care about his clothes and appearance more than his own mind, the only intellectual stimulation available to him the art of conversation, because apparently that was useful in attracting a wealthy and powerful mate, Shigeru was completely useless. He couldn’t fight, no matter how hard he worked at the drills Mattsun gave him. He couldn’t plan out attacks like Kunimi, because he’d never been taught battle strategy. He’d been hobbled by his father’s grand plans of marrying him off to the highest bidder.

Shigeru had no doubt that his father had meant well. He even thought his father might have loved him. But his father had loved a version of Shigeru that only existed in his own head, and Shigeru had started thinking in his teens that maybe that wasn’t love at all.

His mother loved him, the real him, the boy she’d found hacking off all his long hair because his father had called him beautiful one too many times. She’d intervened on his behalf, and now he was allowed to cut his hair however he liked it, preferring it just at his shoulders, long enough to tie back, but short enough to not make him look too feminine. She was the one that had taught him history and told him jokes and let him sit however he pleased, with no care to how unattractive spreading his legs made him.

But his mother was far to the north, on the family estate nearly at the border of Seijoh’s lands. Lake Lilia was the only place where Shigeru had good childhood memories. He hoped his mother was still alive. Complicated feelings for his father aside, Shigeru was still a little messed up from seeing him die – even if he wouldn’t admit it – but losing his mother would destroy him.

He shook himself, trying not to think so much about his family. It was hard to remember growing up with his father without getting angry, and considering he would probably just worry Maiya and Makki and their children if he got up to punch something.

But it wasn’t making all this waiting any less terrible. He was stuck, Takeru in his lap because apparently he’d gotten tired of his mother’s, watching the two older ones fret over the people who had gone. Makki especially was fretting over his mate, worried about him fighting with the odds stacked against him, his son held close to comfort him as much to keep the baby quiet.

Shigeru looked down at the child in his lap. With the life his father had been planning for him he would’ve had lots of children to look forward to. It was the life of an omega raised for an arranged marriage.

Children weren’t so bad, he supposed. Takeru was a sweet enough child, babbling and talking at Shigeru when he wasn’t occupied with whatever game he was playing by clapping his hands together, and watching him was soothing in the way he took Shigeru’s mind off the waiting. Shigeru could even see wanting children someday. He could see being happy to sense the change in his own scent, ecstatically watching his belly grow, being happy with his mate…

But of course, there was never a face with the mate in his own fantasies. There never had been. Shigeru had long since accepted that any happiness he had in his future would be centered on himself, and maybe the children he would inevitably bear.

A mate wouldn’t make him happy. He was sure of that. The kind of mating his father had planned for him would never make him happy.

“I hate this,” Makki sighed. “I hate this waiting.”

Shigeru looked up at him. He didn’t really have an emotional bond with anyone in the group but Shinji, but he did have a lot of respect for Makki and Mattsun. The way Mattsun had turned their ragtag group into a real kind of team, the way Makki had made his choice that differed from his mate’s, but that hadn’t torn them apart. They were leaders in their own rights, and Shigeru had to respect that.

“Why didn’t you go with him?” Shigeru asked. “I know you know how to fight. Why didn’t you go with him instead of waiting? Wouldn’t that be easier?”

“Someone had to take care of Jun,” Makki said. “Part of being a parent is recognizing that your child comes first, no matter what else you might want. Besides, I’m not that good at fighting. Give me a dagger, and I can defend myself and maybe someone else, but I can’t really use a sword or anything else, not like the ones who went can. If anyone comes after us while it’s just us, Maiya is the one who’s going to have to defend us.”

Shigeru looked at Maiya. She’d softened somehow since Kunimi had given his big speech. He’d noticed Shinji saying something to her. Maybe that had helped.

“Obviously, I’m not going to part with Takeru right now,” she said.

“How do you know how to fight so well?” Shigeru asked, because maybe it would distract him, and maybe it would distract her too. “I know omegas and women can fight just like men in Seijoh, but I didn’t think it was common.”

“It’s more common than it is in other kingdoms,” Maiya told him. “Even Shiratorizawa doesn’t allow it as much as we do. The only thing that matters is whether or not you have the skill. We don’t care what you have in your pants.

“My mother is a warrior,” she went on. “She’s…it’s kind of like the castle guard? But they don’t stay within the castle walls. They’re posted outside, to be a buffer in case of a big attack. I’m actually pretty sure she died in the Karasuno attack. No one would’ve gotten past her if she was still alive.”

“I’m sorry,” Shigeru said. Maiya waved her hand, though her eyes looked glassier.

“She would’ve wanted to go down fighting for what she believed in,” Maiya said. “I can be happy knowing she went down swinging. And I think there’s a good chance that my father survived, if he could get out of the castle. I just want to know if my little brother is alive. He’s mated to the crown prince, and he wouldn’t have let them do anything to Tooru.”

She looked wistfully into the distance.

“Anyway, I know how to fight because my mother taught me,” she continued. “I had a toy sword in my hand almost as soon as I could walk. I know how to shoot an arrow, too. I think my mother must have seen the wanderlust in me even then, and she wanted to make sure I could take care of myself on the road.”

The concept of a parent wanting their child to fight for themselves was foreign to Shigeru, but he listened intently as Maiya kept talking.

“I’ve been wandering all over Seijoh and beyond since I was eighteen,” Maiya said. “I’ve learned so many things, and I’ve been able to bring back knowledge for the kingdom. They usually pay me if I can bring back scrolls and books they don’t have in the library, and if I can find treasure, all the better for me. Shinji started joining me a few years back, which you probably know.”

Shigeru nodded. He’d been friends with Shinji since they were children, and Shinji had taken off a few years ago to travel all over. He’d always come back to tell Shigeru stories, and those were some of the best memories Shigeru had. They gave him something to imagine when he fantasized about running away from his life.

“My mate mostly cared for Takeru between my adventures, if they didn’t both come with me,” Maiya said, her voice softer. “I’m…a bit out of practice at being a mother. Once he wasn’t a baby anymore, I didn’t really need to be there to make sure he survived, and sometimes adventuring is a lot easier than parenting.”

She sighed, looking at Takeru, oblivious in Shigeru’s lap.

“I don’t know how I’m going to do this alone,” she said. “I was barely doing it before. I don’t think I’m fit to be a mother.”

“You want the best for your son, and you’re trying your best, and you’re not forcing him to be something he’s not,” Shigeru said. “I think you’re fit to be a mother, and I think the fact that you’re worried you’re not proves you are.”

“Yahaba’s right,” Makki broke in. “You stopped running off for far flung places when Takeru was born. Even though you left, you always came back sooner, and you were always running for your son as soon as you could. So what if you’re scared of not being a good parent? I’m scared I’m not doing enough to protect my son. I’m scared that we should have run north when we had a chance, because now we definitely wouldn’t be able to beat the winter, but maybe that worry means I’m doing something right.”

“Your children are going to be alright,” Shigeru said, because it felt like he should say something. “You both know how to protect them.”

They both seemed pleased at his words, but before they could respond, Shinji came running back into camp.

“We did it,” he said, fire in his eyes and his grin. “They have supplies there, so we decided it would be easier for the five of you to come to us instead of carrying it all to you. And we found something.”

“What?” Shigeru asked, standing and picking Takeru up. The toddler was awake, but clinging to his neck. He probably wouldn’t be able to walk so far in the forest at night. He and Jun had had the hardest time adjusting to being nocturnal.

“Some girls from Seijoh,” Shinji said. “The soldiers in the company we killed took them for…well, I’m sure you can imagine.”

Shigeru grimaced.

“Yeah, that’s the general consensus,” Shinji said. “Anyway, they said they were in a refugee camp of Seijoh citizens, and based on some rumors they heard, Kunimi thinks Karasuno is trying to build an empire, and he had an idea of how to fight them.”

“That’s good news,” Shigeru said. “What’s the plan?”

“The thing is, we can’t really throw in on a plan yet,” Shinji said, scratching his head. “We’re not sure the rumors are true, and we could be wrong, and if we play this wrong, we could get seriously reamed. So Kunimi wants to send the two of us to the refugee camp.”

“Me?” Shigeru asked. “I get you, but why me? I still can’t do any of this fighting stuff right.”

“We’re not going to fight,” Shinji said. “Hopefully. And it’ll just be us, so in theory I can protect you if we need it. Ideally, though, all we’ll be doing is talking. We have to see if the rumors are true. We need all the information we can get about the state of Seijoh.”

Shigeru nodded, gears turning in his head. They were walking into the light of a few huge bonfires, and Shigeru wrinkled his nose at the acrid burning smell coming from them. At Shinji’s look, he decided not to ask.

His eyes landed on three girls, the ones Shinji had said came from the refugee camp. Setting Takeru down with his mother, he approached the girls.

“I need to know what you know about the refugee camp,” he said. “Not the layout, or the kind of guard you’re under. I need to know what kind of people are there. I need to know who the leaders are, and who has influence. Who can I talk to who might know something? That kind of thing.”

The girls look at each other, and back to him.

And they started to talk.

Birds of Paradise

Georgi catches wind that Yuri might be in love and offers some rather unsolicited and off-the-wall advice.

Pairing: Platonic Georgi & Yuri, pining Yuri x Yuuri.

Read on AO3

“Oooooh my little Yuri! Why didn't you tell me you were in love!”

Yuri nearly chokes on his juice box as Georgi slams his way into the common area, leaving chaos in his wake. “Excuse me?!”

“Now that I’ve been enlightened to the truth, it’s clear as day! Oh Yuri, you are growing up. And here I thought you were moody because Yakov cut down your carb intake again, but you are moody because you are in love!”

Juice squirts up from the straw and drips onto the table from Yuri’s sudden death grip on the poor juice box. “You shithead! What are you even talking about?! Did you hit your head fucking up your jumps today or what?” Love?! Him in love? Oh no, Yuri Plisetsky does not waste his time on trivial affairs such as love. What a load of bullshit.

“Oh but it's obvious, my little Yuri. I commented to Mila earlier during break that you’ve been staring at your phone with such a shy, little smile on ever since you got back to Russia. I asked her what it was about and all she said was you’ve been texting someone special from Japan. I pressed her for details and all she did was giggle. Said I would have to talk to you.”

Whatever juice was left in the box is now splattered all over the table and dripping down Yuri’s hand. “Did she now,” he growls.

Oh, he was definitely going to share a few oh so kind words with her later, especially for encouraging Georgi to talk to him about such insufferable topics with his insufferable personality.

Though he would have to give her credit for not spilling the beans about him being in semi-regular contact with the Japanese skater who Viktor had all but abandoned them for. Not that he liked Yuuri Katsuki, of course. That would be nonsense and Mila is full of shit when she claims he might have a crush on Yuuri. All the nights he went to her to rant and rave about him don’t mean a single goddamn thing. And plus, unlike Mila or Georgi, he was actually smart and had no time in his busy training schedule to waste on the frivolity of love. This was his senior debut after all, and absolutely nothing will get in the way of him dominating it.

Yuuri just happened to be a nice bit of encouragement at the end of the day when Lilia works him raggard. When Yuri opens up his text messages and sees unread messages from Yuuri with kind words of encouragement, he can't help but feel all the aches and pains he suffers through are worth it.

Because boy he can't wait to see Yuuri and kick his ass and prove his worth.

Seriously. That's all it was.

Georgi sits down next to Yuri and wraps his arm around his shoulder, pulling him closer in an awkward one armed hug all while nearly dragging poor Yuri off the chair. “You’re thinking about them now, aren’t you! Your face just got all soft and full of love! Please, you must tell me all about her! Or…” He pauses for a second and lets out a small gasp, “...or him! There’s nothing wrong with that, you know.”

Yuri’s face turns red as he pulls away from Georgi’s attempt at camaraderie. Absolutely not. His face did not just go soft and look full of love at the thought of Yuuri Katsuki. “What the fuck are you even talking about? It’s none of your business!”

The shit-eating grin on Georgi’s face is the last thing Yuri wants to see right now. “But you don’t deny that you’ve been talking to someone who makes you feel giddy, like you’re walking on a sea of clouds. So go on, tell me about them. I want to hear everything. Or are you going to make me guess who it is?”

“You don’t have to guess anything because I’m leaving. This conversation is over,” Yuri bites out while throwing the empty juice box across the room with a bit too much force. He misses the trash by a long shot and swears under his breath.

“Wait!” Georgi calls out just as Yuri is about to stomp away out of the room, “I know who it is! It’s Viktor’s newest project, isn’t it? The Japanese Yuuri.”

That alone is enough to stop Yuri in his tracks. He turns his head to glare at Georgi, but he knows his eyes betray him.

Georgi immediately catches glimpse of his curious ‘how the fuck do you know’ look and quickly answers, “When I put two and two together, it’s obvious. Whenever there’s news involving him, you are always the first to know, and you always make time to watch his programs. Yet when it’s me or Mila or even Viktor...you don’t give a shit. Yakov has to practically bully you into watching other people’s programs. Plus...”

Yuri raises an eyebrow. “Plus…?”

“Plus the look on your face when Viktor ran onto the ice after Yuuri’s program and kissed him right then and there. Ooooh I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look so sad. If I didn’t witness it myself, I’d say it was impossible for you to be anything but angry about things. But don’t get me wrong, you were angry for weeks afterward. Absolutely livid. Positively fuming. And don’t worry, you really only looked sad about it for five seconds before you got pissed and stormed out, so up until now, I thought I imagined it.”

Before Yuri has a chance to reply or even respond in any manner, the look on Georgi’s face melts into something which can only be described as pure sympathy, the look of sympathy one can only give when they understand your woes on a personal, intimate level.

“Oooh my poor little Yuri!” Georgi wails as he walks over to Yuri and wraps his arms around him in a tight, sympathetic hug, “This means your love is one-sided! It’s unrequited! Oh my poor child! No one deserves that kind of agonizing agony! Don’t worry! I’ll help you! I’ll help you through your plight!”

“Get off of me!” Yuri says, shoving Georgi away from him, “And stop pitying me, I don’t need your pity. Plus, you’re not exactly my ideal candidate to get love advice from anyway, you creep.”

Ever the master of dramatics, Georgi clutches his chest like Yuri just shot a bullet through his heart in a single fatal blow. “You wound me, Yuri.”

Yuri can’t help but smirk at that. “Good, maybe now you’ll leave me alone,” he says turning on his heel to walk out of the common room and away from Georgi. God, he doesn’t even wanna imagine what his advice would be like. What would he even suggest? Put a curse on Viktor to doom his relationship? Make a blood sacrifice to a witch in order to get Yuuri to love him back? Please, what a load of fairytale bullshit. He’s not that desperate.

“Wait! Don’t worry! I’m going to help you! I have the perfect advice!” Georgi desperately yells out in attempt to get Yuri to stop walking away.

“Holy shit, do you even listen? I just said I don’t want your creepy advice!” Right now, Yuri’s glare could even kill the most war hardened man.

“In order to win over your man from Viktor, you have to perform a mating dance,” he blurts out.

In Yuri’s fifteen years of life on this planet, that is the most absurd thing he has ever heard. “What the fuck? Are you...are you high or something?” He had to be. That was the only reasonable explanation for such a ridiculous suggestion.

Georgi shakes his head and puts his hands up, waving them around in defense. “No, no! Hear me out! Birds of Paradise perform mating dances to court their mates. The males have beautiful, extravagant feathers, so colorful and bright. They seek out female birds, and they puff out their beautiful feathers and they dance their hearts out for her. The female birds see so many of these dances, and the bird with the most captivating feathers and the most enticing dance is the only bird worthy of the female’s adoration and love.”

“What are you getting at? Are you suggesting I do one of your creepy moves and dedicate an entire season’s program to my shitty love life? Not happening. I refuse.”

“What I’m saying is, you need to get out there and woo Yuuri. You have to be a better dancer than Viktor, you have to show Yuuri just how beautiful your feathers are, that your feathers are even more beautiful than Viktor’s feathers so he has no choice but to choose you over him.”

Yuri stares at Georgi, deadpan. “Right. That worked out real well when you did that for Anya, now did it? And maybe you aren’t aware or maybe you’ve forgotten, but Viktor isn’t exactly competing this year.”

“My, my, throwing in the towel already?” Georgi’s smirk makes Yuri want to punch him in the face. “You can still prove to Yuuri you’re a better dancer than Viktor is. The solution is quite obvious, really.”

“And how do you suggest I beat someone who isn’t even competing?” Yuri huffs, crossing his arms in annoyance.

“Easy,” Georgi says before lowering his voice to a smug whisper, “you beat his record.”

Beat Viktor’s record...huh. Easier said than done, that’s for sure.

“I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry, my little Yuri, I have complete faith that you’ll be able to do it, and you’ll look absolutely beautiful when you do. You’ll look so beautiful and powerful, that Yuuri will have no choice but to ditch Viktor for you. Just think of him while you skate, really express your desire toward him and you’ll have him won over in no time.” He clasps his hand in satisfaction on Yuri’s shoulder as if he didn’t just spout the most nonsensical bit of advice Yuri has ever heard, and will ever hear as long as he lives.

Yuri simply huffs in reply. “We don’t exactly live in a nature documentary, Georgi, but yeah, sure, whatever you say.”

“And well if that doesn’t work? Then together we drink and cry about the woes of unrequited love! I’ll have my vodka and you can have your apple juice!” Georgi yells out as he smacks Yuri’s back in playful banter.

If looks could kill, Georgi would be a dead man, and he suspects Yuri will actually kill him if he continues on. “And now I must take my leave, because you look like you’re about to sneak into my room tonight and murder me in my sleep. Just remember, I’m rooting for you!” As he walks out, he gives Yuri a little wink and adds, “Win over your man.” And with that said, he leaves.

‘Good riddance, at least he’s gone,’ is the only thing Yuri can think.

But later that night, as he lie awake in bed checking his phone, he sees that Yuuri left a comment on his latest instagram selfie.

‘So cute!’ Yuuri had commented.

Cute, huh? Well then, maybe he would just have to show Yuuri just how beautiful he can be. Maybe tomorrow he’ll do his eyeliner all nice and put on a nice, sultry expression, take a bunch of selfies like that and post them to instagram for Yuuri to see. And maybe tomorrow, he’ll ask Lilia to push him even harder so he can skate even more beautifully, to make his dance even more beautiful. Damnit, he’ll show Yuuri that he’s the most beautiful person he’ll ever lay eyes on!

And as he catches himself thinking that, Yuri smothers himself with his pillow and groans because he did not just take Georgi’s advice seriously...

Title: Burning Eyes Day 3 OtaYuri Week : Memories/Future (I kind of did both?) Pairing: OtaYuri Rating: T Word Count: 3,892 AO3 Summary: Otabek has always been captivated by Yuri Plisetsky’s eyes.

Full Fic Under Cut, thank you to @its-love-u-asshole for reading ahead of time for me.

14 years old

Yuri Plisetsky is the exact opposite of everything Otabek Altin is. He’s dainty, graceful, blond, and he’s damn good at ballet. It’s not fair, Otabek thinks, that one kid could be so good at everything.

Sweat trickles down his own brow, as he tries to hold the stance, his eyebrow twitching. His muscles are so tight — he’s not as flexible as some of the other boys. Really ballet warm ups have never been Otabek’s thing. His face quivers, and the teacher yells at him, telling him that’s not the face a dancer should wear, and Otabek is just about ready to slam his foot back to the ground and leave. He knows it’s a bad idea, and he doesn’t want to get on the Russian’s bad side. This training camp is a big deal, and he should feel honored, even if it is shameful to have been dropped down to the novice class.

He sucks in a large breath of air, keeping his foot in place, though his chest puffs out awkwardly, and his nostrils flare. This is definitely not the proper stance a dancer should have. But dammit, he’s not a dancer, he’s a skater, Otabek should’ve quit trying to make ballet work ages ago.

His gaze falls on Yuri Plisetsky from across the room. He’s so damn beautiful, and from what Otabek can tell, he hasn’t dropped his pose at all, not once since they started. His arms and legs move with such precision, yet he doesn’t look robotic. Each movement flows into the next, his spine bending backwards as he gracefully moves back. It’s impossible not to admire his technique, and Otabek can’t help the small amount of jealousy he feels inside as well. This blond is good enough to be in the junior class, so why the hell is he showing everyone up in novice?

His face is currently stoic, almost creepily serene, as just a few hours earlier the young boy had been yelling at the teacher about something, Otabek hadn’t been close enough to hear even though Yuri had been rather loud.

The teacher moves to Yuri and tilts his chin up a bit, adjusting where his gaze falls, and Otabek is almost insulted for him. The blond’s eyebrows twitch a few times, and Otabek can tell he’s annoyed. His green eyes tremble with rage, but Otabek notices it’s not just anger hidden in his emerald pools. No, there seems to be a passion and strong determination. He keeps his head adjusted, not moving from his new position.

“Altin! Eyes forward!” The teacher barks out, and Otabek pulls his head around, keeping his gaze towards the mirror at the front of the classroom. Gosh he looks awkward, he looks nothing like Yuri Plisetsky and some of the other Russian classmates.

Yuri Plisetsky is a fighter, that’s for sure. Otabek respects that, relates to it, though he can’t say he’s about to fight to be better at ballet. He wants to skate, he wants to skate his way, and while dance works for some like, Yuri Plisetsky, Otabek is not one of those people.

Otabek quits ballet upon returning home to Kazakhstan.

18 years old

Otabek hears Yuri Plisetsky’s name in passing. Apparently he’s doing amazing in the junior divisions which Otabek is really not surprised to hear at all. Besides his raw talent, Yuri has an unmatched drive. Otabek saw it in his eyes that day in ballet, and he sees it again when he decides to sneak a peek at the junior division on T.V.

He should be focusing on the Senior division, Viktor Nikiforov, Christophe Giacometti, these are the sorts of people he will eventually have to face if he plans to make it to the Grand Prix Final. But he mentally argues Yuri Plisetsky is about to be old enough for the Senior division, so it’s highly possible he’ll have to face him too. Actually, if he’s anything like Otabek remembers, he will definitely have to skate against him.

Yuri’s got the eyes of a champion, and as he steps out onto the ice, Otabek feels jealousy bubble inside of him once again. The confidence Yuri exudes, even now at such a young age, is incredible. The energy in his pose is overwhelming, and Otabek can tell the blond has something to prove.

And prove it he does. Otabek can’t take his eyes off the screen, and he almost wishes he were there in person to witness it in real time, not through a screen. Yuri’s movements are perfect, absolutely stunning. He falls one time, but it doesn’t take away from anything. Otabek can see his eyebrow twitch, Yuri’s probably pissed at himself for making such a silly error. Otabek knows it won’t matter though, his performance is so on point, and his limbs move with grace, as though he’s a storm, winds whipping across the cold surface as he cuts across the ice. His chest heaving as he holds his final pose.

The imagine burns into Otabek’s memory, like a flame scorching his mind, a scar he won’t ever forget. Yuri Plisetsky isn’t a force to be reckoned with, Otabek can see it in his movements, and his eyes.

Yuri Plisetsky wins the gold for the Junior division of the Grand Prix Final.

19 Years Old

“What’s with you, asshole?” Yuri spits in Otabek’s direction, and Otabek grunts, pulling his sunglasses over his eyes.

It’s the first time he’s actually seen Yuri since being in Barcelona, and he had been considering asking him to hang out, but in all this time, he forgot the most important thing about Yuri Plisetsky — he’s got the harshest mouth, and plenty of rage to back that up.

He wants to talk to Yuri, somehow, though he’s not quite sure how to do it. He doesn’t care to spend time with a large group of people, and girls are always following him around, which is something Otabek really doesn’t want to deal with it. Yuri doesn’t seem like he enjoys it much either, but there’s never been a good opening to try and drag him away, and after the way Yuri snapped at Otabek, he’s not sure Yuri would want to be saved by him anyway.

Otabek’s about to leave everything behind, setting up his motorcycle, when he sees Yuri peeking around a corner, clearly desperate to hide from the strange women with cat ears on their heads. Otabek isn’t sure what that’s all about, but he is sure this is the perfect moment to try and help Yuri out for once.

“Yuri, get on,” he says, handing him the other helmet. Yuri looks confused at first, but the moment he realizes Otabek is here to help, he joins him, and they ride off, ready to do some sightseeing.

Otabek confesses his jealousy, though the words are far more eloquent than that and none of his words are a lie. Otabek tells Yuri he has the eyes of a soldier, and how he’s always thought so. He thought so when he watched him practicing ballet, and when he watched him skate in the Junior division. Truthfully, he’s looking forward to watching him skate now. Of all the people in the competition, Otabek is scared most of Yuri.

Shit, he loves the way Yuri looks now too. His blond hair is sweeping across his face, a hint of a red on his cheeks, though Otabek can’t tell if it’s because he’s blushing or if the breeze is hitting his cheeks just right.

“Otabek, why did you talk to me? I’m a rival aren’t I?” Yuri asks, a puzzled look on his face. A rival indeed. Yuri’s not wrong. They are rivals; more than anything Otabek wants to win the championship for Kazakhstan. But if anyone else is going to win, he wants it to be Yuri.

After a handshake and some tea, it seems Yuri Plisetsky is his friend, and Otabek certainly isn’t complaining.

The day of the competition arrives, and though Otabek wants to defeat all the other skaters, he’s happy to have found a friend among them. Most of all, he’s pleased to finally have the chance to see Yuri skate in person. He’s been so curious to see it after all the times he’s seen him skate on T.V. Finally, he can see him skate in person.

Yuri takes to the ice in a huff, something to do with the Yuuri from Japan, and Otabek snorts. Yuri’s temper is oddly endearing — it shouldn’t be, but it makes Otabek chuckle to himself. In a moment, the blond switches, as though something snaps inside of him. One moment, he’s boiling with rage, like a volcano about to erupt, and the next his face is serene, calm and ready to perform a beautiful skating piece about love. It’s wonderful, and slightly hilarious.

His green eyes glimmer against the beautiful ice, his blond hair swirling around his face as his lithe arms sway around his body, his movements flowing across the ice. It seems surreal, as though Yuri is floating, with absolutely no gravity holding him down.

Immediately, Otabek can’t help but remember their younger days, watching Yuri in the class. Back then, Otabek had thought Yuri was perfect, and then here is now, one-upping himself once again.

Otabek can’t take his eyes off of Yuri, his facial expression soft and clear, emotion pouring from his skates and limbs and face.

It’s absolutely no surprise Yuri places first for the day.

The second day of the competition it seems Yuri and Otabek have created their own secret language, giving each other a thumbs-up to silently cheer one another on.

Yuri looks like the flame Otabek has always imagined him to be, wisps of pink trailing off of his skates. From the look on his face now, the way his green eyes tremble before the beginning of his music, Otabek can tell he’s worked hard on this piece too, maybe harder. Yuri told him he had spent hours upon hours studying with Lilia, so it’s no surprise he seems more than prepared. Yuri’s always been fantastic at ballet, so Otabek isn’t concerned for him.

Yuri’s breathing seems heavy at first, but the moment the music begins, Yuri’s gone, somewhere inside of his head he’s locked into his concentration. He��s intense, the eyes Otabek has come to adore so much burning brightly with his costume, as though they’ve changed colors. He seems angry, intense, and Otabek can swear Yuri yells out at one point. The routine is masterful, something only someone like Yuri could truly handle. Yuri’s chest heaves and he falls to his knees covering his face, though Otabek thinks he should stand proudly. It’s a routine Yuri should be proud of, honored to have performed. Hell, Otabek feels honored just to have witnessed it.

Otabek knows he’s lost by now. Yuri takes the gold in his first ever Senior Grand Prix.

They’ve only got one more night in Barcelona, the banquet to celebrate how hard they’ve all worked. Some people say everyone’s a winner, even though Otabek, (and everyone else) knows Yuri is the only one who gets the full glory of taking his gold medal home to Russia.

It certainly doesn’t stop everyone from celebrating. Chris is already beyond drunk, trying to convince Viktor and Yuuri to drink more, but the two seem far too fixated on each other to really notice anyone else. Phichit is filming anyone who moves. But Otabek isn’t really paying attention to all that.

Yuri’s being crowded by everyone congratulating him. He’s getting pats on the back, saying he’s so young, it’s so amazing he won. Otabek thinks it’s amazing, but he’s really not all that surprised by it. Yuri’s always been talented, always been above and beyond everyone else. Of course, he won. And though Otabek is once again feeling a bit jealous, he knows Yuri deserves it.

“Beka!” Yuri calls out, finally breaking free from the crowd surrounding him. “People wouldn’t stop crowding me,” he groans.

“You won. It’s to be expected,” Otabek says.

“Yeah but I wanna enjoy the banquet too!” he snaps, folding his arms.

“Well you can now, you’ve got plenty of time.” It hits Otabek then that they don’t have plenty of time left together. In the morning he’ll be flying back to Kazakhstan, and Yuri will be heading back to Russia. It almost seems unfair, after all these years, they’re finally friends, and now it’s about to be over. Otabek isn’t sure he’s ready to leave Yuri quite yet.

Yuuri’s a little drunk now, and he challenges Yuri to another dance off, repeating something that happened at the banquet a year ago. Yuri looks pissed, but the moment they all start dancing, Otabek can tell Yuri’s having a good time with Yuuri.

They’re moving, and Yuuri’s tie is around his head and he’s flailing about, grabbing Viktor to dance with him.

“Beka!” Yuri waves at him wildly, “be my partner!”

“Eh?” Otabek turns, seeing Yuri directly in front of him now. He blushes, seeing Yuri’s eyes so close.

“That idiot Katsudon got Viktor involved, so be my partner.” He doesn’t give Otabek a chance to answer, and he drags him out onto the dance floor. They’re all moving now, Chris is drunkenly hollering, and Phichit is still filming them, and for a moment Otabek loses himself.

He doesn’t care about the dance off, but he does care about Yuri twirling around in front of him. He spins him, and pulls him in close, their bodies rubbing together as they move about the floor. Of course, Yuuri dips Viktor and pulls him into a kiss, which makes Phichit dub them the winners of the dance off.

Otabek’s dark eyes meet Yuri’s and he wonders what it would be like to kiss Yuri. Inappropriate probably, but his stomach flip flops at the idea. The two pull away abruptly, both blushing.

“I…uh…had fun Beka,” Yuri mutters awkwardly, heading back to the hotel elevators.

“Me too,” he nods, not wanting to elaborate too much. The more he speaks on it, the harder it will be to say goodbye.

“You have my Instagram, and my phone number, and my Facebook, so you have no excuse not to keep in touch!” Yuri blurts out.

“I know,” Otabek replies, a small smile on his face.

“You better!” he growls, folding his arms.

“Don’t worry,” Otabek replies. “I will.” He awkwardly holds out his hand, giving Yuri’s a shake. They linger for a moment, as though they want to hug, but neither makes the proper move to close the space between them.

“I better see you here again next year, Beka.”

23 years old

It takes Otabek 3 years to make the Grand Prix Final again, though it isn’t for lack of trying. Every year he was close, so close. One year he fell during his last program, costing him just enough points to bump him way beneath the qualifying spot. The next year, he came in 7th overall, missing the cut off for the top 6 in the Grand Prix Final.

Every year, he cursed himself for not being strong enough to make it, and he trained harder, and longer, desperate to make it the next year. He promises he won’t quit until he competes against Yuri once more, and gets to witness his beautiful eyes.

Yuri Plisetsky makes it every year Otabek doesn’t, placing 2nd the first year, and 1st again the next. Otabek isn’t at all surprised. Yuri is a beast on the ice, a beast no one can tame. It hurts to, but Otabek watches him every year. He watches the way Yuri moves on the ice, and he knows Yuri deserves every medal he earns. Behind his passionate green eyes is diligence and hard work.

Every year, Otabek remembers Yuri’s words:

“I better see you here again next year, Beka.”

And finally, after 3 years, he’s here again at the Grand Prix Final. (And Yuri was one of the first to know. After sending a text that read, ‘Are you in this year or not?’ Otabek replied with a simple thumbs up.)

Seeing Yuri walk in is strange. He’s older now, and it’s apparent. He’s taller, and his blond hair is a bit longer now. His arms and legs are more muscular, and his jawline has filled out. Otabek’s so busy staring at his mature friend, he doesn’t notice how close Yuri has gotten.

“Took you long enough, Beka,” Yuri smirks, and Otabek grins right back.

“I’ve been practicing,” he snorts, not wanting Yuri to get the best of him. The blond smiles wider, however, and immediately pulls Otabek into a hug.

“I missed you,” he whispers, and Otabek feels a shiver run down his spine, as though the cold from the ice has penetrated his skin already.

“Yeah…same,” he mutters, squeezing him tightly. When he pulls away, he sees a blush on Yuri’s face. His face is older, yes, but the blush is innocent, the same one he saw three years ago when they danced together.

It’s not as though they haven’t talked. They did keep in touch, mostly talking over various social media outlets and texting. Otabek did go to Russia for a few weeks for extra training, but both of them were so busy they were only able to get tea a few times during his stay. Seeing him now, here, ready to compete again, Otabek knows it’ll be different.

“Good luck,” Yuri smiles. “You’re going to need it!” he yells, looking rather pleased with himself. Otabek’s glad to see Yuri’s appearance is the only thing that’s different about his friend.

And it really is like nothing has changed between them. Otabek offers a thumbs up to Yuri before he’s about to start his short program, and Yuri does the same for him. Their costumes are different, and the music has changed. Their programs are harder, since they’ve both improved, but they are not different people. Otabek doesn’t need to ask Yuri to know they both want to win as much as the other. Otabek knows he’ll have to retire soon, even if he wants to bring a medal home to his country, even if he wants to skate with Yuri forever. Yuri’s eyes still burn with his passion, he has a podium to defend after all.

And defend it he does. After their free programs, it’s clear to Otabek Yuri will place once again. He beats his own damn record, and there’s a tiny part of Otabek that hates Yuri for being so damn talented. But oh does he adore him too, can’t take his eyes off of him.

Yuri places first, for the second year in a row, and this time Otabek comes in third, happy to at least take a Grand Prix medal home to Kazakhstan after all these years of training. He wishes it were gold, but he can’t fault himself for losing to someone like Yuri Plisetsky.

“Congratulations,” Otabek whispers to Yuri, hugging him as they step down off the podium. “It’s seems you’ve won another.”

“'Course! I’ll never give up this spot!” he laughs.

“I don’t doubt it,” Otabek sighs, lingering in their hug. He would’ve stayed that close to him forever if he could’ve.

“Uh, congrats to you too,” Yuri compliments. “Hell, I kind of think you deserved to be second,” Yuri grumbles, glaring at the young Korean boy who took second place.

“I’m happy to bring any medal home to my country,” Otabek smiles, patting Yuri’s shoulders. “No need to make such a face.” Though Otabek thinks Yuri is cute when he’s angry. Actually he enjoys all of Yuri’s faces, even when he looks like a disgruntled teenager.

The scene at the banquet is almost exactly the same as Otabek remembers it from three years ago. Drinking, lots of drinking, and Yuri’s being crowded by a large group of people. This time Otabek has to deal with a few people himself. Talking about his success is nice, but he’d much rather be dancing with Yuri on the dance floor again. But he wonders if anything like that will start, since there’s no drunken Yuuri Katsuki to kick things off.

And as nice as dancing sounds, Otabek would much rather whisk Yuri out onto the terrace, and talk to him alone, away from all these people. As though he’s psychic, from across the room, Yuri looks at Otabek desperately. Otabek is used to seeing Yuri’s green eyes look desperate but this is something completely different.

Stepping away from the crowd, Otabek makes his way towards the table and grabs two glasses of champagne. He stands by the crowd around Yuri, and holds up one of the glasses. “Ah Yuri, you gonna come drink this or not?” he asks, waving his hand.

“Yeah! Okay!” he yells loudly and steps away from the large group of people, following Otabek out onto the main patio.

It’s warm enough in Italy that a summer breeze blows around Yuri’s hair, and he tucks it back behind his ear. There isn’t a cloud in the sky, and his sparkling green eyes match the stars in the twinkling moonlight, as they reflect off the liquid in the champagne glass. His hand trembles, holding the small glass and Otabek notices Yuri bite on his lip.

“Come train in Russia with me!” he bursts out, turning to face Otabek.

“…Eh? What?” Otabek blinks, completely taken off guard. Train? In Russia? He’s not even sure if he will continue skating competitively after this year. “You want me to train in Russia?”

Yuri’s nose wrinkles up, and he leans up towards Otabek. “You better not be considering retiring! You have at least three more years of competing in you, and if you come to Russia we can train together!”

Otabek is stunned, and he can’t find the words to speak. Yuri wants to train with him? He’s so damn cute right now, looking all angry. His green eyes flare up with the determination Otabek has come to love. There’s no way he can say no to that. Of course Almaty is his home, but there’s a part of him that’s wanted to chase this for years. He wants to be with Yuri, and be friends, be rinkmates, be close to him.

“Look I know you love Kazakhstan, but you’d do awesome training with me, and then I wouldn’t have to miss you for three freaking years-”

Before Yuri can continue his speech, Otabek leans forward, and cups Yuri’s cheeks pulling their lips together. Yuri is as frozen as ice at first, his body seizing up a bit, but the moment he starts to kiss back, it’s like the Yuri Otabek has known all along. His lips press hard against Otabek’s and his arms wrap around his neck, keeping him close. Otabek nibbles on Yuri’s lower lip, their noses pulling in harsh breaths.

“I’ll do it,” Otabek whispers. “I’ll train with you.”

Yuri’s face is completely flushed, but as he takes a deep breath, he smiles, giving Otabek a thumbs up. “Good.”

Otabek returns the gesture. He’s not sure what the future holds, but if he’s with Yuri, he’s sure it’ll be an adventure, one Otabek is more than happy to embark on.
