I've been looking forward to the White Rabbit event since it came out in JP because I love pastel colors and LOVELOVE SUPER DUPER LOVE bunnies 💗 and because of that I got a bit sad when Epel and Deuce didn't wanna wear their costumes 😔 I was especially expecting Epel to hate wearing his, so I was so happy and surprised that he actually likes it 💗💗💗 Beforehand I had imagined pouting and telling him that its all the things I like, including him, so please don't dislike it too much, but I guess there's no problem there now hee hee 💗 It ~does~ make me think about some Epel Epel 👉👌👉👌 stuff winky wink if you know what I'm saying.
OHHHH I WAS WAITING FOR THE EVENT TOO!!!! (The cards are so damn cute and Deuce's mom is really hot hahah!~!) Epel looks like a big cake topper to me. Or like uhhhhh if you've ever seen Bennycakes ASMR(?) he looks like a cake. If that makes sense? His outfit is probably my favorite. So is Silver's... I won't elaborate on Silver it ain't about him. I'm actually happy that Epel isn't being all miserable in the costume because it really does suit him!! And I love his card a lot!!
I think in that situation, he would grumble a little... Before bending his resolve and wearing it for your sake. Even if he feels a little silly he wants to wear it for you!~!
I think... Epel's freaky ass would want to fuck in the costume. Or in something similar. Maybe? It's a little in the way but imagine with me for a moment. Okay? Take my hand and listen babes;
The costume is sweaty and kinda hard to move in. Right? Epel does his best not to complain, because looking cool and tough in front of you is his top priority. Even if he does look kinda goofy. But after the festival and it's time to wind down for the night... It's time to take the costumes off. The boys allowed you to change first (also trying to look polite in front of Ms. Spade.) The other boys had changed and told you Epel had finally gone into the bathroom to get his costume off.
The moment you have the chance, you decided you wanted to run in and surprise him. It may seem like an assholish prank, but he's walked in on you many times. It didn't bother either of you. So, you entered unannounced with a wide smile. But seeing his hair wild and messy from him struggling to remove the head piece... How his pale skin was lined in a shimmering sheet of sweat, and how he haphazardly tossed the top half of the costume to the floor in a pastel heap. He was starting to take off the gloves and he looked at you with a pout. "... What?" Epel called out to you and you were snapped out of your trance.
It's too bad you would be sleeping in Deuce's apartment and not somewhere private. You would never live down pouncing on him in your friends bathroom. "Nothing! Just seeing if you needed help." Your face felt hot as you shut the door and allowed Epel to finish in private.

The way I would sink to my knees in a dark and secluded hallway for him. You people will never understand my though process seeing Ruggie making an expression like this. We haven't seen faces like this on previous cards and almost every Ruggie card he looks content or he's always smiling. This is different. Y'know?
...
(SHOOT YOU WITH THE RUGGIE BRAINROT BEAM!!!!!!!)

Happy (early) birthday Ruggie babyyyy!~! Everyone needs to love and cherish him NOW. KISS HIM. NOOOOWWWWWW!!! Not this year for this fic haha. This is also just a one shot stand alone and has nothing to do with my Ruggie series so please enjoy!~!
SUMMARY:
You called Ruggie late at night on his birthday. You thought he was sleeping, he was actually wide awake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You laid in bed, smiling to yourself as Ruggie finally answered the phone. “Hello?” His voice was groggy and breathless, most likely from sleep. You gently chirped out a sweet ‘happy birthday’ into the receiver in the darkness of your bedroom, looking up at your ceiling with a wide smile. “Is it already- It’s 1am?! You could’ve told me in the morning.” He groaned and you rolled your eyes. “It is morning. And this is payback for you shoving my face into Jack’s cake last year.” You scoffed jokingly with a hand gingerly rubbing the sleep from your eyes. Ruggie clicked his tongue on the other end in annoyance before starting to snicker. “Hey, hey, that was an accident. It’s not my fault you were so close to the cake. And the birthday boy already got his slice and chewed me out after.” His sly tone made your heart skip as you felt yourself starting to forgive him all over again.
“It ain’t good to hold grudges. When have I ever really wronged you? Some frosting in your hair ain’t that big of a crime is it?” He purred and you shook your head with a grin forming. “I guess not… But honestly, I wanted to be the first person to tell you happy birthday. Since, well, I don’t live in Savanaclaw. And usually it’s Leona who tells you first.” Since Ruggie was the royal alarm clock, Leona always had first place for his birthday wishes and gifts. Which you didn’t appreciate. 
“Well start livin’ here with me. I’ll make space and we can share a bed. It’s a little small but I’m skinny enough.” He suggested playfully, and part of you wondered if he was being serious. You smirked and glanced towards the window, watching the moon vanish behind the dark, cottony clouds. “So you’re inviting Grim too right?” There was silence on the other end and you struggled to hold back your giggle. “You know, couples do best with their own personal space… I see articles of married people sleeping in their own rooms doing better than those who do.” He changed the subject which made the both of you laugh. You leaned in closer to the phone with a soft smile, moving to sit up and lean against the headboard and pillows. “I’m sorry I woke you up.”
“I wasn’t sleeping.”
He wasn’t? But it was already so late. “Really? You sounded tired when you answered.” You raised a brow in confusion as Ruggie began to snicker with amusement. “I was jerkin’ it.” You felt your stomach flutter. “You know when you can’t sleep and you think to yourself; hm. I should jerk off and make myself tired.” He sounded so casual about it. You felt your face start to burn. “O-Oh! I see… Sorry for disturbing you…” You apologized with a sheepish voice as Ruggie hummed on the other end. 
“Who do you think I had on my mind?” The burning traveled from your face and up to the soft tips of your ears. “Wanna try it?” The birthday boy was making a request. One that left you rubbing your thighs together from arousal and curiosity. “It’ll be fun. S’just us. You just gotta stay on the phone with me.” He cooed into the receiver, and you shucked away your blankets. Maybe you could indulge the birthday boy a little. And Grim was asleep in a different room anyway. It wouldn’t hurt. Just this once.
“So what do I do?” You asked nervously while wriggling out of your pajama bottoms while Ruggie was shuffling around on the other end. “Touch yourself. We’re gonna jerk off together.” It was somewhat intimidating. Even though you couldn’t see Ruggie and he couldn’t see you; you could still hear each other. The soft slick sounds of him pumping his cock, moaning softly into the microphone as he did so encouraged you to join. Your hand slipped between your thighs and you toyed with your clit. Rubbing in delicate circles with soft whines passing your lips. “Don’t be so quiet.” Ruggie grumbled on the other end. “I can’t be too loud… The walls are thin and Grim is sleeping.” You whimpered quietly and Ruggie grumbled something inaudible before starting to snicker. “Oh yeah? You don’t have me on speaker do you?” He asked and you shook your head before giving him a soft no, a finger making its way down to slide inside of your hole. 
“Good. I’ll just be louder for the both of us.” His tone was teasing, and almost malicious.
Ruggie’s moans were much louder in your ear, you could feel your hole twitching in excitement as you pumped your finger faster. “Fuuck!~! You make me feel so good. I love thinking of you when I get off. Thinking of you fisting my cock. Riding me, squeezing me so tight with your hole.” He groaned into your ear leaving your heart racing and your face hot and flustered. “I love when you drool and gag on it too. Working so hard to take me all the way. Seeing your eyes get all wet and teary when you can’t breathe. You’re so nasty with it.” He snickered as you slipped another finger inside, pushing deep and curling your fingers against your soft bundle of nerves. Spongy and sensitive, forcing your walls to constrict tightly around your fingers. “I bet you wish I was there, huh? Am I right? You wish I was there fucking you instead?” You nodded silently grumbling out a weak ‘mmhmm’ in response as the coil in your stomach tightened and twisted. Threatening to snap at any given moment. 
“I wish I was there too. Fucking you as much as I wanted. Filling you up with my cum- Fuck watching it leak out of you…” His voice hitched, trembling on the other side as he started to sound strangled. “FFuck mm’ cumming…” He growled into your ear as you let out a weak sob, feeling your body convulse as your juices flooded out of you. The state of euphoria was dizzying as you fell limp against the mattress, your hole squeezing and sucking your fingers deep inside you as Ruggie sighed into your ear with bliss. The two of you panted together, laying in the darkness. “See… Felt good… Right?” Ruggie huffed and you nodded against the phone. “Yeah… But I do wish you were here…” You grumbled with a sense of disappointment, listening to Ruggie snicker weakly. “Well… We got the whole day to see each other. It’s still my birthday for the next twenty-somethin’ hours.”

I love how the anatomical structure suits him, like the hands that are large but thin, respecting the rest of the body. His tail bothers me a little since his "messy" fur should be on the rest of the structure more, as well, would be standing upright? I mean, he looks pretty happy then...BUT IT'S OKAY!!!!! Ruggie may be skinny, shorter in Savanaclaw but to me he has the real special sauce. He's a perfect package of reality and confidence! I'm so happy that he has such a beautiful and happy pose 🥺😔😭💗

I love you Ruggie 😔🥺😭💗

Peel My Orange?: Matenro
(Fem!Reader)
You ask him to peel an orange for you.
Buster Bros!!! - Mad Trigger Crew - Fling Posse - Bad Ass Temple - Doitsutarehompo
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jakurai Jinguji
You had come to the doctors office to bring him lunch.
He was so appreciative of you, looking shocked when you showed him a small orange that you planned to eat.
It didn't look like enough compared to what you brought him.
You told him not to worry, and politely asked him to peel the fruit for you.
Jakurai looked at you in surprise before taking the citrus from your hands and into his own. "Are you having trouble peeling it on your own? It could be your lack of nutrients..." He frowned with a disappointed sigh. He sat on a small black stool beside the trash, pulling at the peel of the fruit to drop it piece by piece into the can. "N-No! I just... I don't like it getting under my nails... And the smell..." You frowned as Jakurai shook his head with a soft laugh. "I am only teasing you." He assured with a gentle hum.
You watched him pick and pull at the rind until it was all gone from the now exposed flesh of the orange. He grabbed a small paper towel for you to eat it on and moved closer with a grin. "There we go. But, really..." He trailed off. "You need more than just an orange my dear."
Hifumi Izanami
It was late at night when Hifumi stopped by your apartment from his shift at Fragrance.
He smelled heavily of alcohol and perfume, masking his usual scent but it was something you were used to.
He swayed around before flopping onto your couch with a tired smile.
You brought him an orange to soak up the alcohol in his stomach.
"Hnn?~?" He purred and took the fruit from your hand, twirling it in his own with a grin. "Okaayyy!~!" Hifumi cooed before sitting up on his arms to peel the fruit. You yawned tiredly watching him neatly unfold the peel from the fruit. It looked akin to a blooming flower as he seperated the thin white mesh as well. His precision was shocking since he was clearly drunk.
When he finished, he handed the fruit back to you. You were confused. "Hifumi-" Before you could ask him why he returned it to you, he had fallen asleep on your coach. You looked at the fruit then at Hifumi with a heat rising in your face. Did he actually peel this for you before he went to sleep? ... It seems to be the case.
Doppo Kannonzaka
Doppo finally had a day off from work which was extremely rare!
He was excited to spend it with you and rushed to your apartment when he was free from work.
He had fainted on your couch, and thankfully you had a change of clothes for him at your place.
When Doppo had finally woken up and showered, you offered him an orange with one of your own.
He sat in front of you looking at the fruit and gave a silent nod before messily picking at the fruit. You were sure it was the exhaustion, but you were stunned by how poorly he peeled the fruit. Almost like he was mutilating it with his short nails. You didn't want to ask him to peel it for you. You almost felt guilty trying to do so. The rind was discarded on the table like leathery confetti. Taking many different shapes and designs before he had finally finished. "Here." You looked at the orange with white skin left behind. Then, Doppo's smiling face. Even with the brownish bags under his eyes, you could see that he was proud of his craftsmanship. "I peeled it for you." He offered and you silently accepted the orange with surprise.
He took the other one from your hand in return and began to peel it. "But-" You were stopped by Doppo. "You brought me clothes and the orange to eat. The least I could do was peel it for you." His response was honest, and even a little bashful as a faint rouge tinted his cheeks. He wanted to peel it for you. You didn't even have to ask.

The Price for Pride
Azul Ashengrotto x Fem!Reader Word Count: 2.9k+ Word Count (Ao3): 24.2k+ Tags: Sexual Coercion/Contracts/Azul is a Boyfail

The full content will be posted on Ao3 and no further updates of this mini series will be available on Tumblr due to the nature of it's content. I hope you all enjoy reading regardless! <3
SUMMARY:
The money you saved for the upcoming winter break has suddenly gone missing... How bizarre! Even worse when Headmage Crowley doesn't answer his phone to send you your allowance to survive, and the final nail in the coffin is you find yourself unable to tell Grim who is starving for fine dining. So... Who's the only person you can seek such generosity from to keep you and Grim warm and fed for the next few weeks until everyone is back? That will all depend on the price for your pride.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OctoTwerp.
CepheloPunk.
Creepy Squid.
These were simple terms to label the student hailing from the Coral Sea: Azul Ashengrotto. 
After your friends were indebted to him during exam week and needed your help, you learned how ‘merciful’ Azul truly was. When he took Ramshackle Dorm as his collateral, not only did he leave you to fend for yourself at night, but also Grim. Had Jack not convinced Leona to let you stay, things could’ve gotten much worse for you. Things you most likely aren’t prepared to do just yet. 
It left an extremely foul taste in your mouth, even after you succeeded on your end of the deal.
You still hated Azul, the thought of him, the mere timeline of sharing a class period together made your blood boil. 
But now you’re starting to rethink that. 
You woke up early today since you were going to be staying on campus for winter break with Grim. You needed to see the funds you had to keep you both alive if you needed to leave campus for extra things for the freezing four weeks. Grim was sleeping soundly in the bed you shared as you reached under the bed to pull out a small shoebox you kept hidden away. 
It was empty. 
You had at least 400 Madol after last month's expenses! You tried racking your brain around to think of what could’ve happened with the money stored away in your box. You felt your veins run hot at the idea of a break-in. But no one on campus would ever bother you and Grim, Ace and Deuce maybe, but they would never steal from you! You closed the box and looked up at Grim with a frown and knitted brows. No. Grim wouldn’t have stolen from you either, and why would the ghosts need money?! But… Where did it go? It’s not the best hiding place, but there’s no way Grim took it… Right? 
You let out a soft sigh, listening to the monster turn over in bed. Tears pricked at your eyes and you couldn’t help but sniffle with despair. You have no more money and the Headmage is gone until winter break is over. 
You received your allowance on the 1st of each month from Headmage Crowley. A deposit of 1,000 Madol to survive on for the month and for emergencies between you and Grim. And it seems to be he was so wrapped up in vanishing for his trip that you didn’t get your allowance. The overwhelming sadness you previously felt had finally melted into fury. You got to your feet and snatched your phone from the nightstand. Fingers tapped at your phone, rapidly dialing the Headmage for answers as to why you haven’t gotten any of the money he promised you. 
And you were sent directly to voicemail. 
You continued to dial and dial with no response from the Headmage. He cannot ignore you forever. No one can survive alone without a gem to their name. Especially a magicless girl at an all boys school of magic users. You were entitled to that money. Headmage Crowley was clearly not interested in sending you back to your world to sleep in your own bed in your familiar room. The least he could do is cough up some money to keep you alive on the campus grounds. Your hand squeezed around the phone and you sniffled, tears dripping onto the screen from frustration as the voicemail box finally announced it was full. 
Now what?
Grim needs to eat and getting food from the cafeteria is practically impossible since Ruggie cleared it out before he ran off for the holiday. You should’ve seen if you could’ve stayed with someone for the Holiday. Ace… Deuce… Maybe even Jack… How stupid were you? Why didn’t you think ahead? How will you survive now? How will Grim survive?
“Hey, hey, the Headmage gave us our allowance, right?” You heard a soft yawn coming out of Grim and watched the gray monster roll over onto his belly to look at you from the edge of the bed. His big round eyes were now fully open as he smiled. “I wanna go to Mostro Lounge and eat a big king crab this time! With lots of lemon butter… And rice on the side.” He purred as you felt a stone sink in your stomach. Right. It’s too cold for them to go home.
“I’m… Well, I’m not sure if the trio would like our company during a week of rest.” You hummed as you felt your nerves tighten in your chest. You couldn’t afford that kind of food anyways. “Whaaat?! They won’t care!” Grim barked and moved to stand on the bed. “Money makes their world turn, no matter what!” He crossed his arms over his chest with a frown as you forced a smile onto your face, feeling nothing but defeat. “Let me think about it! I’m not in the mood for shellfish.” You laughed nervously as Grim began to pout. “Well try tuna! It’s delicious! But I want a big king crab.” He pouted as you nodded slowly. “I’ll think about if I want to go tonight, okay? For now, let’s get ready to get wood for the fire fairies.” You smiled and picked Grim up in your arms as you walked around the room to find something warm to wear. 
~=*=~
Grim was given a navy blue scarf to keep him swarm as you dressed in black tights lined with fleece to keep your legs warm, dark brown boots lined with fluff and a dark brown sweater dress that came to right above your knees. Thankfully Cater went shopping with you and gave yes or no’s for the winter fashion trends this year. Fashionable as well as functional As you collected wood with Grim, you could feel your stomach starting to constrict from the lack of nutrients. Right, you haven’t eaten yet. There was enough in the fridge to last you about a week, unless Grim get’s extra hungry. And taking snacks into account... “Let’s go see if they’ll give us something to eat already!” Grim complained as he held onto the few sticks he could carry in his little fuzzy arms. 
You started to knit your brows with a soft hum. “Well, Grim, it's pretty early. I doubt they will.” You rolled your eyes at the thought of taking a stroll all the way to the Mostro Lounge. “The Look-Alike Brothers will let us in! I know they will! I feel it in my gut!” Grim wailed as you couldn’t help but shudder at the thought. The Leech twins were the least likely to be kind to you unless they found you interesting, they’ll be quick to ask for immediate payment just for opening the door for you. It was a terrible idea, not to mention Azul is still on campus as well…
Wait.
“Actually,” you paused and gazed out at the snow covered path to the Hall of Mirrors. Azul was still on campus. That four-eyed bastard was practically sitting on top of money. Money that he could spare. “Maybe…” You trailed off, feeling a tight twist in your stomach at the sudden thought you had. You were Madolless and you needed fast cash… Not just for you, but for Grim as well. And Azul isn’t one to turn away a potential deal where he wins in the end. “Maybe we could pay them a visit.” You spoke slowly as your frigid fingers wrapped tightly around the wood you carried. The phrase sealed your doom, you could feel it.  Grim looked up at you with a smile and began flicking his tail with excitement. “Really! I guess my dream of king crab for breakfast will come true!” You laughed awkwardly feeling a hole open up in your gut. You cannot afford anything right now, but explaining that to Grim was already too difficult to even attempt, since you yourself had no idea where your money went. You’re so passive… And you knew it would be the death of you.
~=*=~
After giving wood to the fire fairies you and Grim trekked to Octavinelle. You arrived in front of the Mostro Lounge adjusting your sweater to cover much more of your thighs as you knocked on the door. It was freezing, even inside the new world, you couldn’t escape the winter chill. Grim seemed unbothered and was bouncing excitedly, mumbling at the thought of cracking open crab legs. The door cracked open and a pair of similar faces appeared. “Oh? You came to visit us so soon?” Jade asked, seeming puzzled since it had only been a few days since they saw you last. Floyd began to smile, flashing two rows of razor sharp teeth in your direction. “Ahh, I think Shrimpy and Baby Seal got lonely. Am I right? I am aren’t I?” He asked with a high pitched laugh. 
You already want to turn back and go home. 
“As if! We got our allowance for the month! Tell Azul I want a big King Crab! And lemon butter! Oh, and rice on the side!” He commanded and puffed up his chest as your face had gone white as a sheet. Jade picked up on it immediately and smiled gently as the twins eased away from the door. “Oh of course… We’ll let Azul know of your arrival now.” Jade smiled as Floyd continued to giggle as the eel twins dispersed, leaving you to find your own seat in the eerily empty lounge. You felt sick, wishing you hadn’t brought Grim along as you both slid into an empty booth. You placed your shaking hands against the table as your stomach continued to twist into painful pretzels. You wanted to vomit from the anxiety wrapping its tendrils around your empty stomach as you slumped back into the leather of the seat. You came here knowing you cannot afford anything on their menu. And yet, here you are with Grim. Floyd came back with a notepad and a small yawn, clearly unhappy with you both putting him to work already. “So early, you guys suck.” He complained as Grim started to pout. “Hey! I came here with good money y’know!” He snapped and you almost jumped out of your seat. You started to become lost in a daydream, having a hard time imagining what will become of you after attempting to work out a deal with Azul Ashengrotto. He won’t be making it pleasant to work with him, that’s for damn sure. You just need to be firm with him. Unlike the last deal where you had virtually no say in the contract. Lay down the law and if he doesn’t like it, you and Grim will find some way else to make it.  
“Yo, Shrimpy.”
You’ll show Azul you won’t take his shit like other students he’s managed to manipulate and tool with.
“Shrimpy.”
And if he does something you don’t like, rub it in his face that you don’t need his-
“Oi. Prefect.”
You bounced in your seat as your eyes snapped up to Floyd who had slammed his hand onto the table. He was now looking down at you confused, and again, unhappy. “Pay attention to me. What did you want to drink?” He asked and inched closer, grabbing your face to squeeze in the palm of his velvet gloved hand that still held tightly to the pen. His grip was rough as Grim began to growl, hopping onto the table with his small fists balled up. “Hand’s off! Or you’ll be eel kebab!” Your dormmate threatened Floyd who was electing not to hear Grim’s words. His grip on your face now was painful as his slender fingers dug into the very bones shaping your face. “I’ll squeeze ya real good Shrimpy since you weren’t listening… Hey,” He leaned in closer and you could see the blue flames already pouring from Grim’s throat as the eel began to pin you against the booth, his knee now was resting between your legs. “What’s swimmin’ in your thoughts that’s so important you won’t listen to me?” He asked in a whisper, his frown now deepening into a scowl. Before the situation could escalate, a familiar voice rang through the lobby. One you wish you wouldn’t have to hear just yet. “Floyd, please unhand our custom- I mean. Friend.” There was the soft click of glasses being adjusted as Jade reappeared behind Azul. “Please pardon our service, I was unaware you planned to come so soon.” Azul smiled gently as Floyd pulled away from you with a pout. “Too bad Shrimpy, we’ll have to play later.” He grumbled as you locked eyes with Azul, suddenly frozen in place.  
The fire you had inside while preparing to speak with him has been doused by the simple click of his wire frame glasses. “I’m ecstatic you chose to spend your morning here at the Mostro Lounge! Unfortunately, there are no discounts, we are actually charging an after-hours fee since you’re coming at a time when the Mostro Lounge is not usually hosting clientele. But,” Azul waved a hand dismissively with that same sickening smile. “I’m happy to make an exception to someone who has helped me in the past.” Such as saving his life from an Overblot. Maybe you can use those brownie points to your advantage. 
“Um…”
You had lost your train of thought as you eased yourself to your feet, the only thing grounding you in reality were your fingertips still touching the cool surface of the table. “Azul… Can I talk with you?” You asked, hating how timid you sounded as his sky blue eyes widened with surprise. You caught him off guard. That’s a point to you, zero for Azul Ashengrotto. He was quick to recover and crossed his arms over his chest, a long, curled piece of silver colored hair bounced with a light tilt of his head. “I certainly don’t see why not.” He hummed in response as you straightened out, taking a step towards Azul as Grim frowned. “Well I’ll come too! Going alone with-”
“I’m… I have to talk to him alone Grim.” You quickly interjected before Grim could dig the hole you were in any deeper. Grim couldn’t find out about this deal you planned to make with Azul. Ever. Azul seemed even more confused by the decree but still took your side in the situation. “A young lady has her reasons Grim, being too overbearing will drive her away.” He gently scolded with a soft laugh and you bit back the need to scoff. This man had taken the only semblance of a home you had left and cared not for what would happen to you because of it.
As if he would care about something so minor as your reasonings for speaking with him privately.
Your hand’s tightened into fists as Azul stretched a hand out towards you. “Shall we?” He asked and you couldn’t help but feel your blood boil. Sickeningly chivalrous. You hated it. “I’ll pass thanks,” You walked passed him with your nose turned up in disgust. “I’m sure there’s a guidance fee. I know the way so don’t worry.” You assured with a sarcastic tone as you made your way down the hall towards Azul’s office.
You walked past him and made your way towards the office. A scowl had painted your features as you began to rehearse a script in your head on just how you would demand money from Azul Ashengrotto. Compensation for your suffering. Because you think you deserve it? Because his glasses framed his face nicely, and you charged for compliments. Extra for those you couldn’t stand to share the same oxygen with. 
You stood in front of the office door rehearsing once again as you reached for the doorknob, only to freeze at the reflection against the rounded gold surface. The force from Azul’s hands slamming against the door startled you. You couldn’t help but shake with fear at this point. You didn’t hear him behind you at all. Was he always that quiet? His gloved hands caged you against the door’s wooden surface as you craned your head back to look him in the eye. And he did not look too happy with you. His eyes were narrowed at you and you could hear your heart pounding in your ears. “I see you found your way just fine.” He growled, the warmth from his breath against your chest made your heart rate pick up with anxiety. 
Why was he so damn close?!
“Of course, I don’t need your help.” You attempted to hold your ground but you felt so meek with him keeping you trapped against his body and the hard surface of the door. And you swore he was getting closer. “I mean… Walking here. My legs are just fine.” You cleared up as you gripped the doorknob, turning it and forcing it open the moment you felt Azul press his chest against your back. The two of you stumbled into the small office and you darted away from him, keeping a healthy distance as you rested a hand on one of the chairs across from his desk. Using it as a lifeline or a form of shield to defend you from what evil things Azul might have planned. The student in question adjusted his glasses once more as his eyes narrowed at you. “Now,” He began as he walked around the opposite side of the room from you, his eyes never leaving your form as if he was looking for a weak point to pounce on.
“What is it that you wanted to talk about?”
Maybe you should’ve just told Grim…
