♡He's My Man♡

Not my original idea, though... I really loved what @lemon-koii thought of and I was like "HE'S MY MAN BY LUVCAT???" When I tell you I screamed on the top of my lungs for this after seeing one of my favorite music playing...

If you're asking if I am still listening to this music while writing, yes. I have it on loop in the settings so I got it memorized.

Gender Neutral reader [<-if some of ya'll don't sing this just pretend, since for me? I'm a bad fucking singer, I love me some delusional readers🙏]

Genre: idk slightly creepy!reader? They sing like they killed their own husband but whateves. Romantic.

Involvement: Main cast [<-I'm going to include NPCs so if you see white texts with no color, that's probably scarabia NPC B or smth]

Tw: OOC because I want some lovesick fools, Mentions of poisoning [Kalim cover your ears], unhealthy obsessions, unmentioned death [<-maybe in the lyrics...], cussy, and yeah tell me if there's more I'm putting warnings first before writing this fic bc why not.

P.S. I'm going to open my asks later. And to add more, I don't know what singers do, but I do know that they pour their heart out for their songs, so I wanna put emotions on the reader, describing the feelings or smth.

The whole school was invited for a performance.

Why you ask? Oh, to secretly record the prefect singing one of the music they've heard in their world.

Does the prefect know? Let's say, kind of? Okay, no, not really. BUT what the prefect doesn't know won't hurt them, soo...

Housewardens and Vice-housewardens were invited as well as a few members in their dorms.

Riddle tried refusing because of his studies.

Ace convinced him because his boring ass needs some fun and needs to learn visually not only through literature.

Riddle agrees since it might be the first to hear prefect singing [<-let's imagine you're not that bad of a singer].

Deuce and Ace celebrates in victory, dragging along Trey [who baked sweets in case they get hungry yk?]

Cater is no where to be seen [no shit]

They all go to the PMC [Pop music club] where they find a stage set up with a spotlight, the room is quite dark, and some random ass person recording the whole thing, Savannaclaw got in here as well, and somehow included Leona who was just sleeping somewhere nearby, Ruggie looking for food [he smelled the sweets Trey made], Jack just chillin' with the rest of the first years [<-the ones he knows], Epel lowkey tweaking out after hearing Vil saying "behave" for the 150th time, Rook is making sonnets of how lovely this performance would be since you are going to be singing for the audience [and you are very scared because what happens if you voice-crack? That shit will make you kill yourself instead for the last performance bro 💯].

Sebek is over here yelling his heart out of this soon-to-be performance that hasn't even started yet, he was even shut down by his other dormmates, even Malleus was invited. Silver is snoring but is woken up by his dormmate that coincidentally has a UM that keeps him awake, Idia came in with his tablet because fucker is scared to step in the function, Ortho takes his place and carrying the tablet with him, Octavinelle is scheming after the performance cuz' they boutta witness a first time in forever.

Azul is patiently waiting, Jade is just smiling and talking to others about something, maybe a mountain fact or tips when hiking, Floyd is slowly getting bored while waiting so he starts to terrorize [tease] Riddle, while Riddle shouts at him, Trey plays peacemaker, Jamil is worried and darting around looking for Kalim out of habit, only to realize that Kalim is a part of the club so he relaxes, just a bit. Leona is secretly listening for something [obviously the performance].

Now in comes the lights turning off and everyone goes silent. Literally silent.

And a spotlight turns on the stage.

Voices.

"C'mon! I promise you, your music taste isn't so bad! First, we'll practice a few times in here, then, we'll show the entire world! I swear, it will go viral, trust me!" Laughed Kalim.

"He's right, [Name]. You should practice singing it in here." In steps Lilia [��🎀].

Cater just grabs his guitar and does a little test with it before confirming it would go nice with the 'practice'.

"Yeah... I don't know if I should, like what happens if, I like, you know, crack my voice on accident?? Like bro, that'll be MAD embarrassing." "Nahh, you'll be fine! This is JUST practice. Trust me." Said Cater, and you side-eyed him.

Honestly, I think it's legal to slap people here... [sorry random thought]

You grab the mic and just stare at it. You're not sure if you're anxious, scared, or just nervous. This shit is giving you pressure.

"Relax!~ breath in and out!" Kalim chimed in.

You did as you were told, it kinda died down but that don't mean you don't STILL feel nervous. The room is literally dark as fuck. How are you supposed to know you are truly alone with them???

"Nobody would judge you here, it's just the three of us with you. Take your time." Lilia reassured, coaxing you into a false sense of comfort which you totally let your guard down.

☆~~———~~☆

Let's say you let your guard down, you grab the mic, turn it on [if it wasn't already], and of course, you teach them how the music sounded like. Kalim, for once, wanted to actually make it right as to not make it sound something your not familiar with, and tried syncing it to what you believed was how the music went. From the beats, to the chorus at the nearing end.

And so the music starts...

Late September in the city.

Everyone listens closely, wondering if it's a love song or a sad one. A song with meanings? Riddle thought.

The sky is grey, the air is sticky.

Riddle paused. What the fuck does that mean??? Trey paid no mind to it, maybe it's a metaphor, considering how much singers used to do that a lot in their lyrics.

Ace was snickering, so his bitch ass was pinched and a hand clasp onto his mouth before he could yelp [but the mic was loud so you couldn't hear him at all, okay slightly but you assumed something fell].

Deuce watches in amazement. Hearing you sing for the first time.

I keep falling in and out of sleep.

Insomnia? Leona thought, but scratch that, the lyrics said 'in and out' not fully awake, like something bothering the woman from sleeping or something? Must be such a nightmare to live like that.

Ruggie side-eyes someone who wouldn't like to be in a situation like that. (Leona)

Some guitar just playing within silence, it sounds sad, but it sounds a bit eerie not creepy, just eerie. Like the singer has something else in mind.

Letting the sun scorch the grass,

The flies are knocking on the glass.

Jamil cringed at that, why the fuck did you include that... Jade caught a glimpse of Jamil's disgusted face, he grins. But both can tell something is off with this music.

You looked entranced. Like you were detailing even the littlest of things in the moment.

But they're the only other friends I have. You see.

Malleus looks offended, what about him??? Then Lilia eyes him saying "It's the lyrics" Malleus somehow understood.

I need him so much, that it hurts,

I wish, he didn't have to go to work.

Oh? Jade thought, are you saying, you want a husband to stay by your side? Even, if they have to skip out their duties to provide? Hmm, but then again, keeping you happy by providing his attention to you does make you happy... but the problem is these other suitors...

The other boys are listening attentively, wondering if you're talking about someone in here.

I just lie and watch the ceiling fan turn,

He's my man~

We're hand in hand,

To hell and back,

And I'll love him like nobody else can!~

Not gonna lie... Idia thinks that this is some yandere traditional housewife with the way that the lyrics empathize "nobody else can"...

Prefect, is your world okay? Ortho js scanning the lyrics to find the meaning, but he needs to listen to it more to figure it out.

Riddle likes the tone of your voice, the emotion placed in it.

Rook thinks it's marvelous, pouring your heart into the lyrics where it voices out her beloved husband, do you want that type of husband, mon chouchou?

He's my man,

I've been damned,

No, nobody has to understand,

Me and my man~

Okay, so now Jamil side-eyes the lyrics internally, that SEEMS so suspicious. Prefect, you're not going to do what he thinks your going to do, are you?

As the instruments plays in a harmony where it's brooding, almost obsessively brooding, longing for someone that is already theirs, everyone starts to theorize on

What the fuck does this mean.

You literally look a bit eerie talking about 'your man' like, is it him??? He hopes [so] not!

Your voice trails off, like seeing your man whenever he walks into the room, look in a daze, you've memorized this in your heart, you stab it in if you had to.

I stay home and make his dinner,

Even though somehow he keeps getting thinner.

Now you got everyone worried, what the heck... Riddle is not side-eyeing the lyrics, no besides that, he's side-eyeing your expression. Please tell him your okay and that this is just a part of pouring emotions into a music that you totally don't relate in...

Please.

Trey is just concerned for you, WY are you singing this??? Maybe, it's just a song you like, despite the lyrics? Yeah, maybe.

Ace and Deuce looks at you like an escaped lunatic from a psyche ward [even though they should've been in there instead] Deuce doesn't mind but... what does 'keep getting thinner' even mean? Your literally feeding him, is he throwing it away??? Ace is getting justt a bit creeped out.

I wait, watching the washing machine spin round and round again!~

Npc B look at his friend, Octavinalle C whispering, "Maybe it's just in act... you know, the prefect hanging around with Vil?"

But Vil probably didn't remember you taking requests in acting, much more than good at it. Is this genuine? If it is, he'll need medical help to scoop your brain into a normal one...

Rook likes how creepy the vibe is, enjoying the show.

The instruments are taking a slightly intense turn, like madness slowly washing over them.

I NEED him so much that it hurts,

I wish he didn't have to go to work!~

Your voice sounded intense, in a softer way. Obsessively talking about a 'him', eyes fixated on 'him' [even if you're looking at no one], like it's your only thought process on keeping 'him' with you.

Everyone is recording silently, their streams blowing up by the second.

He keeps complaining that his visions blurred~

Okay. What the fuck, prefect. Leona is wide-eyed, deadass staring at the stage you were standing in, obviously not paying attention to the hidden crowd [which is, not that much crowded, if it was then you would've noticed right away. It's just a few NPCs], anyway this isn't about the audience. It's literally what your expressing in the lyrics, Leona is probs getting an eerie feeling from this.

Jamil looks with recognition, 'visions blurred' and 'keeps getting thinner' that couldn't be...

Kalim just ignores it, he knows it's a part of the music, you've explained it to him. It's a form of expression, he quite likely understood it. Just not the reason why it was expressed that way. Not like he wanted to know it anyway.

But he's my man!~

We're hand in hand,

To hell and back,

And I'll love him like nobody else can!~

Sis, that ain't your man, that's a test subject... thought Ruggie and Idia.

Trey looked shocked, if he's not wrong, it could've meant something about the wife being obsessed with her husband, yes? So if she is, and she's giving him food despite his lack of nutrition everyday... Oms.

Ace and Deuce was just catching up with the lyrics, the music sounds good.

Savannaclaw looked slightly intimidated with the way you're expressing this along with the lyrics about a wife.

Azul was paying attention to the possible meaning behind it, with an uneasy feeling writhing in his guts, Jade looked amused as if the music wasn't subtly hinting at a husband's death caused by a wife, Floyd was dead silent, paying attention to his shrimpy [whom he'd call [Name] from now on] and the lyrics. They don't seem to match [Name], that music is about obsession, blah, blah, blah, and [Name] doesn't do any of that! Unless they do...?

Malleus was paying attention to the lyrics mentioning the 'man', he seemed frail despite being fed, his eyes blurred with no reason, the wife's doing? Sebek was going to yell, Silver had a fast reflex into shutting him the fuck up before you performance is disturbed, solemnly attentive.

Idia is just wary of you bro what in the underworld are you even listening in your world ???? Ortho looks a bit concerned for your health, your emotions in his scanner seems a bit off...

Every NPC that was honorably invited was slightly hoisting up their phones to get a better look, until Vil slapped their hands down before you can spot it.

Rook was wondering what type of woman would do that to him if he were ever in your world instead. Would it be you?

He's my man~

I've been damned,

No, nobody has to understand,

Me and my man~

Yeah, this kinda adds up as to why you act so weird around your crush [or when you talk about your crush].

A violin plays for the 'romance' that blooms under delusions, it's like a message of sorts, a twisted perception of love. It's beautiful and fiercely loyal, but deadly and can backfire onto 'your man'.

He keeps having feverish dreams,

That he never ever leave.~

Oh, what a nightmare, Jade muses. But if it's you? That's different. What does he mean by that? No worries. Floyd is grinning, it's tempting to just sweep you off the stage and actually make you one.

Jamil is just concerned on why, out of all the music you could've picked in your world, it had to be this one.

Leona thinks the man did something wrong, but there were no mentions of what he exactly did wrong. Either the man was truly bad or the woman simply had lost her mind.

Ruggie thinks the woman doesn't actually have a husband and has perceived herself as one to her object of affection.

Jack doesn't know what to make out of this, it's so creepy and loving in a twisted way.

Azul probably thinks you know how to hide bodies.

Vil thinks you are acting, if you are he'll maybe invite you for practice, but if you aren't. Well...

Rook thinks this is amazing with how much it tells about how bordering obsessive the singer sounds, all while studying your expressions.

He wakes head aches, funny taste to his tea~

I want him to stay here forever.

He's happiest with me!~

Cause' he~

The instruments go slower, more intense than the last, the violin doesn't sound dramatic, it sounds frantic.

It bursts like an overwhelming sense of emotions. Sudden eruption of a chorus with Kalim, Cater, Lilia, and others who prior to joining in.

He's My Man!~

And I'll Love Him Like Nobody Else Can!~

He's MY Man!~

He's gone quite mad!~

Poor guy. Everyone thought, but some didn't even care, not when they weren't in his place :(...

No, Nobody Has To Understand!~

The instruments grew louder until the drums were heard, the last verse went solo, only them. No one else.

Me And My Man!~

The show went silent after the music stops.

Now, you were thirsty.

"Hey what the- you can't just leave without explaining what the fuck was that!"

Said a purple short boy.

Now you got A LOT to explain. [Even with some freaks].

The End♡~

The ending is ambiguous so you can imagine yourself either running away, or facing whatever they're going to throw at you, whether questions or objects, idk.

I hope you enjoy!~
