Just some Althea arts!

Info dump to get know her a bit.

Story:

Althea is a character who has endured immense emotional and social struggles since her early years. During her elementary school days, she was treated as an outcast by her peers due to her behavior and health, which set her apart from others. Despite reaching out for help from teachers, her attempts to find support only led to further humiliation. Each intervention from the staff seemed to reinforce the bullying, as her classmates saw her struggles as a "joke," escalating the harassment to unbearable levels. The constant bullying eventually forced her to change schools, but the emotional scars of those experiences would follow her into her later years.

As a teenager, Althea’s past experiences deeply affected her, causing her to become emotionally withdrawn and cynical about forming relationships. She began to believe that no one could truly accept her for who she was, leading her to avoid getting close to others. Although Althea despises conflict, she often finds herself in altercations when people make hurtful or dismissive comments toward her. However, she is not a naturally violent person. In one such instance, Althea used a plastic bat to defend herself, a sign of her frustration and a rare moment of aggression fueled by years of bottled-up emotions.

Despite her desire to ignore the judgmental and false assumptions placed upon her, Althea struggles under the pressure of her family’s expectations. The burden of meeting their ideals only adds to her inner turmoil. To cope, she created a "Kind Lady" persona—a façade of politeness and compliance—designed to conceal her true self. However, this mask only serves to deepen her sense of isolation, as she feels unable to be authentic in any environment. This internal conflict between her genuine identity and the persona she presents to the world is a constant source of pain for Althea, who longs for acceptance but fears rejection.

Some other facts:

If you've already read her character introduction, you'll know her hair was cut short because of Azul during his overblot.

Althea’s mom sometimes makes her join clubs that she didn’t ask for during her high school years.

Some of the characters know about her mask but keep it a secret from everyone else. In Book 4, she makes an effort to let it go.

Lilia (the first one to taken notice)

Azul, Jade, and Floyd (Aftermath of Jamil’s overblot)

Kalim and Jamil (Aftermath of Jamil’s overblot)

The turquoise streaks in her hair were artificial, added by Lilia as a symbol of Althea embracing her past and choosing to move forward.

Althea wore those during her early teens.

ABOUT ME

🇵🇭 • INFP 6w5/6w7 • She/Her • Multifandom

Hi, I'm cozyseii! You can call me Cozy or Sei/Seii which you prefer.

Just a socially awkward person with ADHD who doesn’t talk much. Also kinda tired and lazy most of the time, haha. But if you wanna talk about OCs, OCxCC, OCxOC, lores, movies, anime, or games—I’m happy to listen and chat!

So please don’t take it the wrong way if I’m being quiet. I’m just naturally awkward when it comes to talking with people, and it takes me a while to open up or feel comfortable. I’ve never really been much of a talker, so I apologize for that in advance.

Slow artist and busy person.

My arts are just basic and plain, but please don't expect much or judge it. I'm still learning.

Not very much an open person, but it depends.

If I offend or make you all uncomfortable on something I did without noticing please do tell.

Fandoms currently in:

Genshin Impact (taking a break)

Honkai Star Tail

Twisted Wonderland (recently new here)

(Note: I'm still new at the TWST. So if I make a mistake on something, then I apologize in advance.)

OCs AND YUMESHIPS

All of my yumeships are sharings. So please make yourself at ease. I don't own the characters except my OCs.

Don't compare my yumeships with others that I'm not familiar with or my moots. If not followed then I'm blocking you.

Feel free to make an OC interaction with one of my OCs even shipping them with your OCs. Fanfic and fanart I'll allow it, but don't make it to the point where it gets uncomfortable or make them OOC/mischaracterized.

Do not claim my OCs are yours or even trace them. Break this and you'll get a block from me.

Keep in mind that my OCs are not really based on me. They're their own persons existing here.

"I sense no magical power from this one. Soundless. Colorless. Shapeless. Utterly vacant. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate."

Hi, hi! Welcome and meet my yuusona/OC!

Althea Flores!

Facts:

From the Prologue through Book 3, Althea has long hair—until it’s cut during the Overblot. In the aftermath, she’s seen with neatly trimmed short hair, adorned with three white hairpins on the left side and turquoise streaks.

Terrible at swimming.

She's part of the run and track club back in her world.

Back in her world, she is a 1st year senior high school student in her country.

If someone crossed the line, Althea wouldn’t hesitate to dish out a harsh beating—always owning up to her actions and taking full responsibility.

The turquoise streaks in her hair were artificial, added by Lilia as a symbol of Althea embracing her past and choosing to move forward.

So far, Althea has formed good relationships with several characters. Some have left a subtle, indescribable impression on her—kept quietly in her heart, never spoken aloud.

She sees Lilia and Trey as something like family. Trey gives off the vibe of an older brother, while Lilia feels more like a father figure to her.

Her feelings toward Sebek and Rook are a bit more complicated—especially Rook, thanks to the events of Book 5. She’s torn between seeing him as an upperclassman or just a total weirdo. As for Sebek, she mostly puts up with his loud personality and harsh view on humans, but she never treats him differently and simply tolerates it in silence.

And yes, Althea has a crush on both Riddle and Malleus, though she keeps those feelings hidden for her own reasons. So it’s either a doomed or painfully slow burn yumeship—like most of my other yumeships from different fandoms, haha!

Yumeships: RidThea and MalThea

Note: All my yumeships are sharing, so please feel at ease!

Riddle Rosehearts🌹

🌹Riddle couldn't process what you said. You wanted to make something for him? He was pleased, but then the guilt came, He didn't want to trouble you with something like that. "Y/N!, y-you don't need to do that. I can always grab something from the cafeteria." Shaking your head, you grabbed his hand, pulling him along with you. "Nope~ I'm making you something. Now come on, show me where the kitchen is here in Heartslabyul."He went red, from shyness, not anger, as he gave in to you, telling you exactly where the dorm kitchen was, while giving your hand a soft squeeze.

🌹Having entered the kitchen, you realized it was empty, perfect, as both you and Riddle can be alone together. Pointing to the stool, you told Riddle to take a seat, as you went to get ready. Grabbing the apron and chef hat, you gave a huff of approval as you neared the sink, washing your hands. "So, have you thought of what you wanted?" Smiling up at Riddle, you awaited his answer, as he sat in a daze, until he realized you were talking to him.

🌹"Well I..." He placed his hand on his chin, giving it a thought. Leaning closer on the kitchen island, your hands held your face up, eyes sparkling, making him blush. "What are you craving? Pizza, soup, pasta, salad, cake, cookies? I can make anything you want. Ask away!" His mind was racing, unable to think of anything with you looking at him like that. His mind went to strawberry tarts, but he didn't want you to make something that required a long time to prepare, plus he wanted to eat something that gave him his nutritional needs. "Sandwich?" Riddle asked, wearing a soft smile.

🌹Without a word, you nodded your head and got to work, grabbing the essential ingredients, but adding a twist as you grabbed milk bread in the pantry, strawberries, sugar and whipping cream. Riddle watched you prep up, admiring how at ease you looked, remembering how nervous he was in the Culinary Crucible, when he was attempting to make cabbage rolls. Cooking wasn't at all like alchemy, as he originally thought, seeing how certain measurements and tools to prep were different despite them being almost similar. There was a part of him that wanted to improve his skills in the kitchen, maybe you could teach him?

🌹Riddle thoughts were interrupted as a plate was pushed in front of him. "Here you go, enjoy!" You said, with a smile, waiting for Riddle to try it. Looking at the sandwich, Riddle noticed that it wasn't a regular sandwich, seeing strawberries inside the bread, instead of meat and vegetables. "What is this?" He questioned, not knowing what it was you had prepared. "Oh, you never had a strawberry sando before? It's a fruit sandwich, so the bread is milk bread, adding a soft texture, and there is whipped cream inside along with strawberries. They are very popular in my world, plus I know how much you like strawberries, so I figured this was perfect to make for you."

🌹His mouth was shaped like a "O" as he continued to stare at you and the sandwich. Even when asked to make a sandwich, you made it in a way that suited his taste preferences? His heart couldn't stop thumping like crazy. Gauging Riddle's reaction, you worried, thinking he was upset, "Oh, do you not like it? I can't make another san-" Your words were cut off by him, "NO...no...the sandwich is perfect. Thank you, Y/N." Riddle picked it up, as he whispered "Itadakimasu" and bit into the sandwich. The delicious taste of whipped cream and the sweetness of the strawberries made Riddle hum in delight, eyes shining brightly from how amazing it was.

🌹"Hehe, judging by your reaction, I'm guessing you like it." Riddle nodded, as he continued to eat the sandwich, giving out a satisfied hum as he finished, using a napkin to clean his face. "Thank you again, my rose." His pure smile was making your heart melt, this boy was way too adorable. Walking over to him, you patted his head, making him stiffen at first, until he finally relaxed. "You're welcome Riddle. Whenever you are craving something or hungry, just ask me, okay?" Riddle leaned into the sensation, until you pulled away, making him a bit sad, but he smiled up at you. "Alright. Just make sure whatever you make me doesn't violate the 810 rules, understand?"

🌹Raising your eyebrow, you smirked at him, "Oh? And if it does, you going to throw what I made you away? How cruel" Stuttering, Riddle shook his head, recalling how he reacted with the Mont Blanc tart incident "N-no I wou-." He got cut off when you kissed his cheek, "Joking~" Calming down, Riddle looked down shyly, mumbling that he will eat whatever you make him, causing you to laugh as you kissed him again, making him flush with a mini smile on his face.

🌹What You Made For Riddle + Recipe🌹

Recipe- Strawberry Sando

Leona Kingscholar🦁

🦁Leona was napping in his room, while you were laying on the bed with him, well with him on top of you, as he nuzzled his head into your stomach, soft snores escaping him. You then hear a loud sound coming from him, recognizing that was a stomach grumble. "Hey Leona, want me to make you something to eat?" You whispered, not too soft though as you wanted him to hear you. Leona motioned his head up, one of his eyes opened, having woken up when you said that to him. "What?" He questioned you, thinking he was still dreaming. Looking down at him, you smiled, "Do you want me to make you something? I heard your stomach." You repeated what you said, making Leona smirk as he closed his eyes again, ready to go back to sleep. "I don't need herbivore food. Ruggie can bring me something anyway"

🦁He got a flick to the forehead, opening his eyes at you with a glare. "I'm not gonna make you a salad, Leona. I know you don't like vegetables. You're not gonna allow your girlfriend to cook for you?" You teased him, as you watched his ears twitch, tail moving when you said that, but he just turned, moving his body off of you, laying on the bed this time, mumbling a whatever as he went back to sleep. Smirking, you bent down to kiss his cheek, as you got up from the bed, heading out to shop for the ingredients. "Oy." You stopped, hearing Leona speak, turning to see a wallet being thrown towards you, as you caught it, looking at him confused. "Use that to buy what you need." He said, as he remained laying down on the bed. Smiling, you put the wallet in your pocket, as you headed out, closing the door behind you softly.

🦁Getting what you needed from the market a few minutes from NRC, you placed the bags on the kitchen counter, letting out a huff. Ruggie was kind enough to leave you alone in the kitchen, but not before telling you to promise him to save him some leftovers with whatever you made. Looking around, you found an apron and chef hat, putting them on as you started to wash your hands. Going to the bags, you pulled out the ground beef, onions, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and potatoes. You chopped and sauteed the onions and then add them to the ground beef, mixing in other ingredients, then forming the meat into patty's. Getting the frying pan, you cooked the meat, covering it, as you began to work on the potatoes, peeling them.

🦁A pair of arms wrapped around your stomach, making you jump, as you felt a head land on your shoulder, nuzzling into your neck. Humming, you leaned your head against him, as you continued to peel the potatoes. "Hi." He said against your shoulder, making you respond back with a "Hi" as well. He continued to hold you, feeling his tail curl against your leg, make you giggle. "Leona, as much as I love you, I can't cook like this." With a grumble, he pulled away, motioning his body to sit against the chair, near the kitchen table, propping his head up with his hand, as he continued to watch you, emerald eyes gazing at you intensely.

🦁Once the meat was done, you prepared the sauce for them, while you finished boiling the potatoes, pureeing them to mash as you set them aside. Once everything was all set, you plated it well, turning around to Leona, who was surprisingly awake. Setting the plate down, you gave Leona a soft smile, "Its hamburg steak with mashed potatoes! I hope you like it." Leona look disinterested in it, but his tail and ears gave him away as they continued to move. Grabbing the fork, he took a piece of the meat off and raised it to his lips, taking a bite. You watched him intently, gauging his reaction. He remained the same, not even a crack of a smile, but he continued to eat, finishing the whole plate as well as the mashed potatoes, not expecting him to like them since they were part of the vegetables family. He licked his lips, before smirking at you, "Not bad, herbivore. I might hire you as my personal chef."

🦁Happy that he enjoyed it, you smiled, grabbing the plate as you began to wash up. "Glad you liked it. I was worried for a second since I'm not the best at making fancy dishes." Leona scrunched his eyebrows at that, "What you mean by fancy?" Moving your hands in the sink, you explained that he was a prince, especially growing up in a kingdom, he had a more variety to expensive delicious dishes, so you worried that what you made wouldn't fare well with what he's probably had before in his hometown.

🦁You felt your body being lifted up, turned around as he set you on the counter, using his body and arms to cage you, a predator corning his prey. He smirked down at you, as he leaned closer into your face, "Prince. Not a prince. It shouldn't matter. I'll eat whatever you make me, Herbivore, as long as you make it for me and me alone." Heart beating in your chest, your cheeks flushed as you gazed at Leona, as he leaned closer, enjoying your reaction. "Even a salad?" Teasing him back, you watch his expression drop, giving you a semi-glare. "Don't push it." Laughing, you grabbed his face, pulling him into a kiss, which he reciprocated back, pulling you closer.

🦁The two of you continued the kissing session, until you realized that you were still in the kitchen and that you needed to clean up. "Leona, hold on, we can't do this here." You said between kisses, out of breath from how passionate he was. Leona let out a deep chuckle, as he pulled away slightly, "Why not? It's my dorm anyway." Pushing him back, you got off the counter, trying to steady yourself. "I know that, but still. Besides, I have to clean up plus I promised Ruggie I leave him something." Leona let out a soft growl, as he grabbed your chin, lifting it up to look at him. "Bringing up another man's name in front of me huh? Didn't I say for me and me only?"

🦁Unamused, you removed his hand from your chin. "Hey! He was nice enough to let me use the kitchen and he made sure no one else came in, knowing that the other students in this dorm would have grabbed what I was cooking and run away with it. The hyena boy deserves it." You went back to cleaning, as Leona let out a hmph and sat back down on his chair. "When I'm done, we can continue in your room." Tiling your head back to look at him, you gave a sultry look, which he responded with a smirk of his own.

🦁Having finished, setting a covered plate inside for Ruggie. Your body was then lifted up, swung over Leona's shoulders like a sack of potatoes as he headed towards his room. Grabbing your phone, you sent Ruggie a text that there was a plate for him in the kitchen and also not to disturb Leona and you.

Recipe- Japanese Hamburg Steak

Azul Ashengrotto🐙

🐙 In his office, Azul was writing away at his desk, finalizing some paperwork, while you were sitting on the chair across his desk, finishing your school work. He knew he was busy, so he arranged it that after class, the both of you would stay in his office in Mostro Lounge, enjoying each others company. He said it was just him being benevolent, but you knew that was a lie, since he absolutely adore you. A stomach growl was heard a few feet away from you, prompting you to look up from your work. Azul was still writing away, but his cheeks were slightly pink, embarrassed that you heard that.

🐙"Hungry? Want me to make you something?" You asked with a smile, putting your school work to the side. Azul dropped his pen, looking at you with shock, before he regained his composure, pushing his glasses up. "Angelfish, there is no need for you to cook for me. Besides, I'm not that hu-" Another growl came from his stomach, making his face go red, hiding it with his hands in embarrassment. "Well your stomach is telling me directly that your lying." Giggling, you got up from the chair, heading towards the door. You looked back at him, "What would you like?" Azul remained in the same position, before removing his hands, looking at you with a soft expression. "Something healthy please. I'm on a strict diet." Your heart ached at that, remembering the glimpses of his past that you saw during his Overblot, how bad his insecurity was. Giving him a kind smile, you nodded, as you headed out.

🐙Heading into the kitchen in the lounge, you saw that both Jade and Floyd were in there, Jade polishing some dishes while Floyd was sitting on the ground, criss-crossed, bored out of his mind. "Hey Leech bros." You waved at them, making them turn to look at you. "Heyyyyy Shrimp-channnnn~" Floyd tackled you into a hug, making you laugh. "Greetings, Prefect. What brings you into the kitchen?" You made your way over to the hanging apron, with Floyd dragging behind you, still holding on to you. "Azul was hungry so I'm making him something to eat." Jade smiled at your reasoning, as he continued to polish the dishes. "Oy Shrimpy. You making something for Azul and not for me? Meanie" Floyd whined in your ear, as he continued to squeeze you, as you made your way over to the sink, washing your hands.

🐙 "If you let me borrow the kitchen and make something for Azul, I'll cook something for the both of you after, okay?" You said, turning your head to look at Floyd while looking back at Jade. Floyd smiled, exposing all his teeth as he squeezed you again, making you go a bit blue. "Floyd. The prefect can't cook if you suffocate them" Floyd whined, but let you go, allowing you to breathe. "Thanks Jade." You thanked him as he gave you a closed eyed smile. Getting the ingredients, you got rice, pickled radish, chicken tenders, seaweed wrap and seasonings. Cooking the rice, you coated the tenders in breadcrumbs, deciding it be better to pan-fry it. Once that was done, you cooled the rice down as you began to cut the radish into thin strips. Jade and Floyd continued to watch you, finding your cooking very entertaining to them, while also admiring your skills.

🐙Once that was all set, you layered the rice, chicken, and radish on the seaweed wrap and rolled it, as you then grabbed a knife and slice them, making gimpap rolls. "Perfect!" Excited, you began to clean up, making sure to wipe the counters, and clean the tools you used. "Sugoi~ They look yummy." You heard Floyd say, as he held the plate in his hand, widening his jaw. "AHH! NO!" Yelling out, you jumped up, grabbing the plate from him. "These are Azul's. You'll get your food later." Floyd pouted, making grabby hands at the food, earning a chuckle from Jade. "Floyd. I will add mushrooms to your dish if you don't behave." Threatening him with a glare, Floyd immediately dropped his hands, yet he still pouted as he sat down on the ground.

🐙Holding the plate, you walked past the both up them, reaching one hand down to rub Floyd's head, earning a chuckle from him, his mood improving. Knocking on Azul's door, you heard an enter, as you opened the door, holding the plate up with a smile. "Your food is ready~" Singing out, you made your way over to him, placing the plate down gently on his desk. Azul observed the dish, with precision, wondering exactly what you made him, "What have you made me, Angelfish?" Azul looked at you then back at the dish. "Oh its chicken gimbap. There are many ways to make it, but I decided to do it with chicken this time. I pan-fried it instead, so it's healthier and the inside has rice and pickled radish inside, and the wrapping is seaweed paper."

🐙Azul's looked at you like you were the most amazing treasure in the world. He knew you knew about his love for fried chicken, but he didn't indulge in it often, wanting to maintain his figure. Yet, here comes you, making him a simple dish that was both healthy and included his favorite food, he could almost cry. "Are you okay, Azul?" He shook out of his trance, your question bringing him back to reality. "Y-yes. I'm fine. Itadakimasu." His fork stabbed one of the rolls as he held it to his mouth, putting the whole thing his mouth with elegance. His eyes widen, the juiciness of the chicken and the tanginess of the radish was irresistible. He was grabbing another one, and another and another, having finished the dish quickly, letting out a satisfied sigh.

🐙"Subarashii." was the only word he let out, turning to you with a kind smile. "Your cooking is astounding. I would love to try other dishes from you in the future." Reaching his arm out, he pulled you so you were sitting on his lap, his head nuzzling against your shoulder. His sweet gesture made your heart skip a beat, as you nuzzled your head against him. "I could make some new dishes for your business too, if you want. I know how passionate you are about it." Azul chuckled, moving his head to place a soft kiss on your cheek, then turning back to nuzzle your shoulder.

🐙The both of you remained in the position for a while, till a loud knock was heard. "OYYYYY SHRIMPY~ ME AND JADE ARE HUNGRY." Realizing you forgot about the twins, you slowly got up Azul's lap, letting him know that you promised the twins. He was already missing your warmth, but he knew that Floyd was quite insufferable when he was hungry, so he allowed you to go. His eyes watched you as you left, as he tilted his head back with a sigh. This man was so in love with you.

You two really have to like my old cringey arts huh? Welp I'm archiving them for good 🫠

Slave!Aventurine x Reader

A/N : Reen is having another manic episode and she came up with this. 

WARNING : Slavery, may contain minor leaks regarding Aventurine's past, NOT CANON COMPLIANT, obviously, written before 2.1 release, some graphic description of dehumanizing behavior, but there's nothing weird happening between reader and Aventurine, mostly fluff, READER IS SPOILING HIM, psychological trauma, mentions of PTSD (Aventurine)

Word Count : 2,5K

It was the one time you lost yourself on the shady part of the city, and that one time is somehow enough to lead you into this current predicament. 

.・゜゜・

You had just agreed to meet someone. The marketplace’s community group has the set of a certain relic you've been wanting to have and the seller has sent you their coordinate to seal the deal. You swear you had followed the map correctly, but due to the poor signal around the place you are now lost. 

This part of the city is unfamiliar and it gives you the creeps. Following the poorly working navigator seems to only make you even more lost. Just when you were about to give up, an unknown crowd stole your attention and you can't help but to have a peek on what the fuss is all about. 

What a gruesome sight. 

You certainly did not expect to see a young man, his limbs chained to the ground while the resident screams and shouts to him, some even spitting in his direction. They curse at him, something along why he and his kind should've gone extinct long ago. The sight horrifies you greatly and you cannot stand to just sit back and watch this thing happening in front of your eyes. You noticed a mark tattooed to the left part of his neck with the world ‘slave’ and that might just be the cause. But still, none of this treatment is necessary. You don't even know him and what certain ‘race’ they are talking about yet the sight shakes you deeply. You can't possibly go home in peace without doing anything, right? 

With no further calculations, you marched his front while you declared ever so loudly, 

“I'M BUYING HIM!”

.・゜゜・

Everything else happened after that has turned into hazy memories inside your head because you currently have a bigger problem at hand. There goes the relic set you've been wanting to buy. Although you felt grateful that the man is no longer abused, the deed to buy this certain slave comes with rules due to his race. Slave owners are bound to do anything to their possession, that includes them being able to set the slave free. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to him. Not that you have the heart to free him too, it seems that his kind is despised by any person possible and it'll be rough for him. Sigonian, was it? He might end up being caught and tortured again. You shook your head at the thought, nope, not gonna happen. 

Never in your wildest dream you have ever once thought that you'll have a slave inside your house. Let alone yours. This whole situation overwhelms you but then again, you're the one who started it. The man didn't say anything on your way back home. You don't know what to say either. Atmosphere so awkward you can feel yourself getting crushed by it with every second passed. 

“Thank you…” the blonde man mutters just enough for you to hear. His voice hoarse and strained you fear that he might snap his vocal chords if he speaks another word. It caught you by surprise but you quick to answer him, 

“You're welcome!... Please have a seat, I'll fetch you some water!” You scurried to the kitchen to get him a glass of water you've promised. By the time you come back to the living room. He's sitting, kneeling on the floor instead of the couch and your heart stings at the sight. You didn't comment on his actions further and opted to release his cuffed hands before handing him the glass. He shakily grabs the glass before drinking the water in a single gulp. Did they even give him any water back there? 

“I'll get you some more…” you grab his empty glass back to the kitchen. 

He didn't get why you insisted on bringing you more drinks. The man tracked back on when you suddenly came out of nowhere to announce that you're taking him with you. He has his suspicions. Maybe you're an evil scientist that will try to use his body in a way or another, or maybe you're taking him home just to feed him to your dogs. But seeing how you may not fit any of those lists, he keeps himself wondering on what's your purpose in buying him. 

You came back with more water which he savored thoroughly. After he finishes the second glass, you introduce yourself and ask for his name. The man shakes his head in confusion. 

“All the names I have were the names my previous owner gave me…” You shot him a sad look and he has zero idea on what's your problem with him. 

“So… you'd rather have me giving you a new one, or…” 

“It all depends on you, ma’am. I'm just a mere slave.” His words caught you thinking and you decided to give him a new one. His old names may bring bad memories to him too you deduce, so might as well change it. You took your time to look for a name. This is a hard one. Your eyes wander around the living room to see a green colored ornament. It was your favorite, but it'll be weird to call him with the name green. No shit sherlock. Maybe name him after one of your relic sets? That doesn't sit right for a reason. 

Is there any substitute name for the color green? Myrtle… Olive… Teal… Jade… Viridian… Emerald… come on, you need to be more creative! After a few minutes of pondering, you came up with a unique one. At least you think that it's unique. 

“What about Aventurine?”

He seems to light up at the suggestion. 

“Is that… A precious stone?” You didn't think that he'll get that far but you won't want to let him know that your initial idea was from a literal color green. 

“Yeah! I think it suits you!” he seems to warm up to you a tad bit, but the thought is pleasant to you nonetheless. He agreed to the name and you let out a relieved sigh. 

“That settles then! Also would you like some baths? I'll show you to your room,” Thank the aeons you had a spare room in your house. You bought it with your savings in cash. It's a pretty decent and spacious one. The previous owner sold it for a quite low price since they needed instant money. There are some untouched spaces inside the house and you're grateful now that it had a spare room for your new yet unexpected companion. 

You motioned him to follow you and he obeys. You show him around his new room. A single bed, a small study, and a small indoor bathroom. He gaped at the sight. What were the chances of him having a pleasant space for himself to occupy? 

“So… yeah, you can use the bathroom over there. The room is a bit dusty since I never really use it. I'll bring you some clothes and a duster! Please have yourself,” You patted his shoulder lightly before leaving him alone inside the room. By the time he's done cleaning himself, he sure does take his time to leave his body spotless from filth, the blond spotted a pair of clothes, towels, and a duster as you promised. 

Changing to the new set of clothes, he grabs the duster and takes another look around the room. Why are you being so generous towards him? He stares down at the mark adorning his wrists, caused by cuffs he is always forced to wear. Aren't you scared if he's going to kill you? He's sure that by this second, everyone knows how bad and dangerous he is, or are you just plain stupid? 

Aventurine takes the duster to clean the empty room. Your behavior towards him really confuses him. Evenso he still needs to let his guard up because who knows what you are capable of. No normal person will even set a glance at him out of nowhere. 

A knock interrupted his train of thoughts. He immediately went to the door to open it. 

“I've made some dinner, come join me!” You dragged him towards the dining room and the gears on his head started to spin faster. Maybe you really are stupid. 

With that in mind, he started to think that maybe he can use you to achieve greater things in life. Regaining his honor, to help his people that went through the same as him. But the thought stopped when you nudged him to sit on one of the chairs. You sit not too far from him, eating your own share of meal. Aventurine looks at the dish in front of him. He can feel his mouth waters but he can't help but to squint at your oblivious form. What's your deal with him? 

Deciding that thinking with an empty stomach tends to be harder than not, he chooses to help himself. Tasty. Even some of the food he had stolen some time back then didn't rival this dish in front of him. While he savors his meal, he takes in your form once again. It seems that you've changed your attire to a more fancy one. Are you planning to go out? 

As if you can read his mind, you started to speak. 

“I'm going out tonight. Don't know when I'll get back, but just to let you know I'll lock the door for your safety.” Maybe he'll play along with you for a while. 

“Understood.”

“If you're bored there's a small library right next to your room, you can indulge yourself there,”

“I see. Thank you for the kind offer, ma'am” You cringed at the way he calls you that but maybe forcing him to call you by name on his first day around will be weird too. Aeons, everything about these circumstances is so out of place. 

You finished your meal and put it out on the sink. 

“I'll be leaving then. Have a good night rest,” And with that you left him alone inside your humble abode. Why are you out so late at night? Was it your job? What could you be possibly working for? Those questions runs around Aventurine's head. Maybe he'll find out eventually. 

Aventurine feels fatigue coursing through his body. He puts his dishes on the sink. He should do you some favor to show gratitude. With that, he washes the dishes present in front of him. Just a small token of goodwill. He retires back to his room after. The sheet below him feels so heavenly. He never actually gets to sleep on one, so might as well let himself indulge in these newfound luxuries. 

—

Aventurine jolts awake by nightmare the next day. He cautiously looks around the room. Hah. That reminds him, a mysterious lady bought him yesterday and he's now resting in his own personal room. He steps out of bed, feeling bold. A little tour inside the house won't hurt, right? 

The blonde makes a small trip to the living room, only to find your wasted form laying on the cold floor. He squints at the sight as he kneels down to check on your pulse. Thankfully you're still alive. Aventurine couldn't help but to cringe at your so vulnerable state. He can kill you right now if he wants to, and he'll get away with it. He can have your current possession and challenge himself further to test his fortune. He shooks his head at the intrusive thoughts and holds your body up to put you on the couch. Why is he doing this? Even he himself doesn't understand. 

You stirred at his grasp, eyes slowly opening. 

“Aventurine?”

He suddenly stutters, not knowing how to respond or to explain himself. He puts you back down on the couch. 

“I'm sorry ma'am, I thought you passed out on the floor so I moved you up to a warmer place-” 

“Ah- thank you! It happened quite a lot,” Now he's interested. Where were you last night? What could you be doing to the point you exhausted yourself like that? He stays silent though, he has no right to ask you all that. 

“I see. Sorry for the trouble…”

“Aaaanyway, you up for breakfast? I'll go prepare some,” you sat up from the couch. He follows your steps to the kitchen. 

“Do you have any preference? Sweet? Savory?” Why are you treating him like this? Aventurine couldn't help to blurt out of confusion. 

“Are you testing me, ma'am?” He queries and you lifted your eyebrows. 

“Test? What test?”

“If I choose a certain answer that is not to your liking, you'll punish me for it. Or then you'll just let me rot inside my room after-” You frowned at his accusations. Right. He had never experienced such a thing as a normal breakfast like you do. 

“No- no, this is not a test,” You waved your hand in front of him. 

“I was just asking… which one do you want more?” He takes in your genuine gesture. He ponders for a while and now he feels guilty for accusing you like that. You're not like those filthy, money grubbing bastards with a superiority complex. 

“Anything you prefer more, ma'am”

“Come on, I know you wanted something more specific!” 

“Sweet it is,”

“Cool! Do you want to help?”

“.... With pleasure, ma'am”

Aventurine ends up helping you make waffles and cream. This feels so wrong on so many levels, he thought. But in a good way. The two of you spend the morning eating breakfast and Aventurine is at loss. What do you gain from treating him like this? 

“Hmm.. I don't have any more clothes for you. You should go out with me for some shopping!” The thought of meeting other people dreads him. He expected the worst. 

“I'm not sure that's a good idea given my current circumstances, ma'am”

“Ah- your eyes! Hmm… I hate to say this, but what about sunglasses? They should hide your eye color just fine!” he's stunned at the thought. Why do you insist? Isn't this just wasting your time and money? Why are you so fond of him?

“That's… fine by me, ma'am. Although I'm not quite sure why you would go through that much trouble just to give me clothes.”

“Nonsense! With your companion here I just found out that having someone to talk to at home is quite pleasant! I think you deserve something nice,” And with that you left the dining table. Maybe looking for the said sunglasses, he assumes. 

He cannot lie, he dared to think that he could live like this for as long as you want. He owes you so much he can't even start to count. 

Aventurine thinks that he might just enjoy this treatment while it lasts. All of this feels so foreign to him. He could just easily use you and your resources as he wanted, but deep down he doesn't want to do any harm to you for what you've done to him. Until then, he'll take his time to plan his escape or how he will try to repay your deeds. He'll let his future self decide. 

For those who actually read this far, do you have any thoughts about this one or is this concept just plain weird, if it is too weird please let me know 😭 and thank you for reading!

I like to headcanon that they are besties. (Not shipping)

4.2 spoilers but it's interesting how Scaramouche and Furina were both made as replacements. But while Ei saw Scara's humanity as a flaw, Focalors thought that's what made Furina perfect.

I need the two of them to interact
