#Azul Ashengrotto twisted wonderland

[crheativity]

SUMMARY: Someone's picked a fight with Prefect! But he isn't going to let anyone hurt you anymore. Not on his watch. Part 1! Part 2 with Vil and Silver can be found here.

WARNINGS: Uhhh Prefect (you) gets hit in the face & your nose bleeds. also blackmail.

COMMENTS: I actually wanted to write this firstly for some of my moots! I was gonna write more of their favourites but it accidentally got too long to put in one post, so I'm planning on making a part 2 tomorrow. Anyway, @azulashengrottospiano and @i-like-forgs, enjoy!!

It must be raining.

You were just out in a storm. That’s all.

That would explain the crack of thunder that collided with your face and gave you a throbbing headache. The warm liquid blurring your vision and dripping out of your mouth and nose was just the rain, not some unholy mix of blood and tears. The chills that froze you where you stood was just humidity and the cold, not adrenaline and raw fear.

And yet, even with your desperate brain trying to come up with some reasonable explanation, the only thunderstorm you could see in front of you was a student you couldn’t recognise. Not with your head pounding like this. Not with the thunder in your ears.

There was something about the boy that scared you. That wasn’t uncommon - this school was full of terrifyingly promising mages. But the scariest thing wasn’t how he wielded his magical pen with deadly accuracy, or how strong he so evidently was.

It was just how much he seemed to be enjoying the mix of horror and pain, of blood and tears, that must have been so evidently and delicately splashed across your face.

His smile twisted as he raised his pen again, something in those cruel eyes of his setting off alarm signals in your aching head.

“This’ll teach you not to meddle where you don’t belong.”

The pen glowed, pure magic surrounding it as he prepared to shoot. His sadistic eyes were alight with entertainment. He knew what he was about to do. He didn’t care.

You squeeze your eyes shut and braced for the lightning.

A chuckle and an arm wrapping around your waist made your eyes snap back open.

“C’mon babe, gotta run!”

Pulling you by the waist, the boy broke into a run. You stumbled for a minute, but soon followed after. He released your waist but gently took your hand, tugging you along, urging you to be faster.

A stray spell flew between the two of you.

The boy looked back, an uncharacteristic flash of annoyance creasing his brow.

He caught your eye and winked.

“Split card!”

A second boy seemed to appear next to you. He was an exact copy of the first - the same stylishly ruffled orange hair, the same piercing emerald eyes, the same practiced, perfect smile.

The same red diamond under his right eye.

“Hey, keep ‘em busy for me!”

“You got it, king.” The second boy - the product of Cater Diamond’s unique magic - winked at you. He planted his feet, whirled around and started to cast spell after spell at your assailant.

The real Cater Diamond pulled you along, into the school building. Together you ran, through corridor after corridor, passing empty classroom after empty classroom.

Finally, he slowed to a stop in front of a classroom you’d never seen before. Glancing around and putting his finger in front of his mouth in a shushing motion, he grinned at you.

“In here.”

He held open the door for you, shutting it behind the both of you as you looked around. There were all different kinds of instruments and sheet music scattered around, along with an abandoned satchel. You saw at least one set of drums, along with two electric guitars and one acoustic, amps, even some microphones and music stands.

You supposed this was the Light Music Club’s room.

Cater winced, scratching his nape. “My bad, forgot it was so messy here. Whoever that was won’t find us here, though!” He grinned at you, his smile fading when he noticed the condition you were in.

He took both of your hands and, holding you as though you were made of glass, led you over to an amp. He gently pushed you onto it. It was not the most comfortable thing to sit on, but that was not what you were focusing on.

How could it be?

Cater Diamond was standing in front of you. He glowed like the sun wherever he went, commanding your attention and leaving you blinded.

If he ever called you, you would gladly follow.

The light faded a little as he let go of your hands and stepped away. He walked over to the discarded bag on the ground and started rummaging through it.

“There’s gotta be something… aha, #jackpot!” Pulling out a packet of tissues, he made his way back over to you. Pulling out a tissue, he smiled hesitantly. “Do you mind if I…?”

You blinked. You had forgotten about the pounding in your head, which started to come back with a vengeance. Putting one hand to the side of your head, you gestured for him to go ahead.

He stood just in front of you, one hand cupping your face, the other gently trying to clean as much of the blood off as possible. He didn’t say anything as he went about his work, but there was a look in his eyes as he worked. One filled with kindness and empathy, soft enough to make your heart skip a beat.

He stepped back and, crossing his arms as though to survey his handiwork, he nodded satisfactorily. “The blood on your shirt will be hard to wash off, but the bleeding from your nose has stopped.” He gave you a strained - albeit gentle - smile.

You nodded and placed your hands in your lap, studying them instead of meeting the gentle emerald eyes you could feel searching you.

“Prefect…” he started, the hesitancy in his voice evident. He cautiously sat next to you and you glanced up at him. “Is- are you okay?”

You closed your eyes and leaned into him. He startled a little at your touch, then wrapped his arm around you. “I am now.”

“My my, what have we here?”

“What… the hell?!”

That voice… wait, it couldn’t be-

Blinking rapidly to rid your eyes of the tears, you registered three things.

First, and most obvious, was that the thunderstorm was being contained.

Easily.

I mean, the new arrival held him as easily as a newborn kitten for goodness’ sake. He looked almost as twisted as your assailant, with pure glee in his yellow and olive-brown eyes, his wide grin revealing sharp, pointed teeth. He was evidently enjoying the student’s squirming.

“Got him! I wanna squeeze him ‘til he pops~”

The second thing you registered was the hand resting on your shoulder.

Looking up, you noticed another boy, practically a mirror image of the first. One hand was resting protectively on your shoulder, his other hiding his smile. He looked a lot calmer than the first, but his eyes - the exact opposite of his brother’s - betrayed him. The air around him was crackling with excited energy.

“Not yet, Floyd. I believe that Azul has something he wishes to say to him first.”

“Boo. Hurry up.” Wait.

Azul?

Looking around, you finally registered the third - and final - new arrival. Azul Ashengrotto, the head of the Mostro Lounge, was strolling towards the boy. There was something about him that was different. His curly hair caught the sun, making the silvery colour feel akin to pure, vivid white, as though it was glowing. From this angle, you couldn’t see the face you’d studied so many times - his enchanting grey eyes, or the beauty mark just below his mouth.

There was nothing physically different. So what was wrong?

Ah, that was it. He was angry.

“Do not fret, Floyd.” He stopped in front of the boy, directly in front of you. “You’ll get your chance soon enough.”

“Wh-… what the hell is wrong with you?!” The student shouted, twisting and scratching at Floyd’s arm in a desperate attempt to free himself.

“Wanna find out?” Floyd squeezed the boy tighter and he yelped.

“No! No thank you!”

“Well, at least you have some manners.” Azul drawled.

“What do you want from me?”

“This won’t take long.” Azul fished out some photos from his pocket and showed him. “Do you know who this is?”

“H-… how did you-?!”

“Unimportant.” He waved off the question as though it was simply one about the weather. “However, I believe that it would be in your best interests to leave the Prefect alone now.” “Hah… you’re trying to blackmail me?”

“Blackmail is such an ugly word. I am simply offering you a way out.”

“A way out?” The boy scoffed.

“Certainly. I believe if your mother saw these photos, you would be in a great deal of trouble, would you not? If I am correct, you promised her you’d be on your best behaviour this year. After all, one more incident could be enough for an expulsion, with a track record such as yours.”

“Hey-!”

“It’d be a shame for the school to lose such a promising mage. How about you meet with me in the VIP room tomorrow around 4 o’ clock tomorrow? We can discuss things in more… detail… then.”

The boy glowered but said nothing.

Azul sighed. “I’m a man of my word. As long as no harm will come to the prefect, no harm will come to you in the meantime.”

“Fine.” The boy spat.

“Very well, we have a deal then.” Azul took a step back. “Let him go, Floyd.”

“But he hurt Shrimpy! I don’t wanna~”

“Floyd. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Floyd complained loudly, but let the boy go. He smoothed his jacket, glaring daggers at you and Azul in turn. Then he whirled around and stormed off.

Three pairs of eyes now turned to you.

You blinked in return.

“Shrimpyyy~!” Floyd bounded over to you and squeezed you in a rib-cracking hug. “Did the bad man hurt you? Don’t worry, you’re with us now, Shrimpy!”

“Give them some air, Floyd.” Jade said and tugged Floyd’s shoulder, attempting to pull him away from you.

“Nooo-“

“Are you alright, Prefect?” Azul asked. He sounded worried.

Floyd and Jade exchanged conspiratorial smirks and Floyd let you go. There was blood on his jacket from where your head had rested against him.

The realness of what just happened began to set in. The pounding sensation in your head came back with a vengeance. “I-…” the world began to spin around you, and Azul grabbed you, panic in his eyes. You felt your legs buckle and he caught you smoothly. “Sorry- I just-“

“It’s quite alright. I will stay with you as long as you need.” Azul reassured you, although you didn’t - couldn’t - miss the quiver in his voice or the pink dusting his face. He pulled out a handkerchief and put it to your face. You took it and applied pressure to your nose, angling your head downwards in order to stop the bleeding, as Azul hesitantly rubbed patterns into your back to help you feel better. The sensation made you feel warm.

With a smile, you realised it wasn’t storming anymore. The sun had finally come out.

♥Thank you for reading!! I hope you enjoyed it!!♥

“ I could follow you to the beginning Just to relive the start And maybe then we'd remember to slow down At all of our favorite parts All I wanted was you. ” — All I wanted, Paramore

⊹ pairing : azul a. x gn!reader ; lilia v. x gn!reader

⊹ genre : angst/scenario

⊹ tw : death, blood and assassination on lilia's part; angst

⊹ a/n : I may got a little carried away on Lilia's part and almost none on Azul's one... sorry.

he doesn't want to accept it, but this is the life as it is.

You two met yourselves on NRC and soon you start to date. You two already have talked about it before, although always denying the reality.

The point is: Azul lives on seabed - being a kind of mermaid - and you can't stay underwater for a long without ending up drowning, being just a little human.

Which was something that probably would disturb your couple life in the future. Azul thought about doing a deal with you to transform you into a mermaid too. Then you would can live with him with no problems about breathe underwater. Since so you would can live with him. But at the same time he doesn't know if his magic was enough, and he didn't want to risk it either.

You don't talk about it a lot, already because of it too. But you two can't ignore the future happening under yours noses.

Soon you will end college and... and after this? What is going to happen..?

Your relationship as partners are almost perfect. You both could understand each other, at least some discussions a bit agressively, but with a 'happy' endind.

Soon you arrive to the last year of NRC. The things was becoming more difficult to reconcile between your relationship and the studies you have to do every day.

But anyway, you two always find some time to pass with each other. Going since to study together to small dates you both make late at night on Mostro Lounge.

Thanking to Jade and Floyd whos always helped you two to find time for you two. Floyd was more relax and Jade more organized. And they were very friends to you and shipps you with Azul.. fufufu.. helping beautifully to get you two together.

In your graduation, you and Azul go to a hang out to celebrate your success. Staying awake the whole night.

Taking small talks and reflexives things about some things more deep about yourselves. And in one of this talks holding hands already seeing the sunrise fillind the sky while the stars were going to sleep with the moon again. You return to the topic of how it's going now.

How you two will be together now...? Well, you don't know. This was the most purest truth.

Azul still wanted to take you with him, but he was more mature now. So he known that he would hear about your feeling until taking decisions like this. He wants to hear about you firstly. Will you likely to made this or you will choose to leave him and stay with your family...? Their still the most important people to you, he understand it, like, he also was being egoist about it wanting to take you with him for the same reason.

And, well...

You didn't choose him.

He tries to be strong about this, accepting your decision as he loves you above all. Knowing that if he loves, he must let go.

He hugs you closiest, kissing you deeply and desperately for the last time. As he supported you and helped you to take your things to leave to back to your family he still sad about it. He doesn't wanted to let you go out like that.

After all;

All he wanted was you. Forever. By his side.

Lilia knew from the beginning that this would happen at some moment, but he didn't thought it would hurt so much...

You and Lilia met each other on Night Raven College in the 3rd year when you was transferred to the same class he was in. Becoming his classmate.

You two ended forming a wonderful duo and each day you both passed together you were going closer and more closer to each other. Until the moment that you realize your relation was turning in something that was more than just friends. You and Lilia became only one.

You wasn't a Diasomnia student, initially, but you ended tranferring yourself to there to be more near him. What also approached you to his family. Silver and Malleus also became very close to you, and I dare say they could see you as a parental figure too.

You started to date just after you two perceive that you weren't just friends. And it already was clearly to everyone else.

And soon you two finished college and you decided to go with Lilia to Briar's Valley. And then was all going pretty well. Your life was calm but prettiest funy too.

Everything was like a fairytale. But... nothing good lasts forever.

When you both least expected it, a war was started between Draconia's kingdom, where you two lived and with an enemy kingdom.

Lilia despite not being a war soldier more, he decided to go to the war to remembering the last times. Assuring that he would back alive and health to you and if anything would happen, he'll doesn't hesitate in asking to absence himself to the battlefield and come back to home yet. And until then, everything was going alright, Lilia still remembered how was the things and how to be the beast he was on the war formerly.

But we can't say that it's everything going so well to you too.

Being Lilia's partner, a great name on Briar's Valley, you was a target very searched for as a form to weaken the army. And because of it you ended being found by a enemy fleet who roamed in the forest.

The war was already happening on low intensity now. "It's near to the end." everyone thought.

Lilia was already leaving the battlefield, left totally the work to the younger ones. Coming back calmly to yours house, going to stay with you again without needing to worry yourselves with anything more.

Oh, well well...

...This wasn't what was coming for you, too,

You heard from Malleus that your boyfriend was coming back to home, being very excited to see him again. Deciding to make something to surprise him, very proud of having him alive yet.

Then you decide to prepare something to the day he will arrive, organizing something in you house only for you both. Nothing too grand. As something more like a "welcome back" to him.

When Lilia's arrive there, putting his feet inside your house, he came across with something horrible. Something that made him wanted to stay and die on the war, just for never seeing it.

Lilia just saw you getting a shot inside your own house in the exact moment he come there. He concluded that it was planned 'cause of him. Barely noticing when he left an agony scream out of his mouth calling your name. But it was already too late.

The shot was accurate. Not leaving one measly chance for you to survive. There was no magic in the world that could fix it.

You stiil conscious by a split of seconds having heard Lilia's voice for the last time on your life. But not his usual voice, a voice that you'd didn't want to hear, you never would like to hear his pain like this.

Lilia ran to you, catching you in his arms as he cries huggin' you. Irrationally. As his love could save you from it. But it couldn't. He cried a child for the rest of the night in the painfully like as he could. Not supporting the pain of losing the thing most precious thing in his life.

Oh, The Great Seven, how he wanted that it isn't being true. What hells him made to deserve this?!

Lilia was missing for a half of a day, appearing just in the end of the afternoon to talk to the King. Asking if he may request for a dignified funeral to you and telling to Malleus what happened. Lilia was still very embittered with the occured and Malleus be very chocked and sad for what happened by losting someone else of his family.

Lilia always known that you will die first than him. He was immortal and you don't. But anyway, that way...?

He visited your grave's everyday after this. But something still wasn't satisfying him. He wanted so bad to revenge you now.

My...😭 revising it i saw how I REALLY wrote really nothing to Azul writing for another characters beyond diasomnia is so hard to me *screams*

[h3apm3ch4n151m]

Imagine PSL!Reader and Rook tho? It’s a legit battle of the blackmail with those two one obsessed with mermen/beastmen and the other with enough info to make someone need to change universes to feel safe and have dignity

Nah bc the Photographic sibling Leech!reader does their research on who is who in the school when they first entered. And one that they noticed is Rook Hunt.

They've heard of him from their siblings, the tweels! So they better watch out for leaking some KIND of info about them, while trying to find information on Rook.

Meanwhile, Rook is so amazed at how someone can memorize everything at a glance.

Rook: [literally gives you a 189k word letter on why he's so amazed, in love, and everything nice because of your abilities] You, who literally is trying to stay away from him:

And when you DO get some info on him, whenever he gets near you, you try to pull it out and he is like: "Ah, so we both have mutual feelings for each other, as a hunter I feel proud of what you're doing!"

You are so done.

When you do something unexpected, like the Neige fan thing and use it against him and show it to Vil:

When the two of you just cross paths and all, you guys do eye contact as if you didn't cross each other 3 hours ago, trying to stalk one another. This is you guys in one picture:

And the fact that Photographic sibling LEECH!reader is a merman as well... Let's just say, you're never showing him your form, nor trying to get a reaction out of you. You're stubborn, that's why. The tweets and Azul are probably going to use you as the sacrifice to be given to him if they're so done with him LMFAO

Imagine if he tries to stalk you to see your mannerisms only to see you playing games and reading fanfictions lmfao

Anyways, in conclusion, the both of you have SO MUCH BLACKMAIL MATERIAL that the whole school prays that the both of you never work together. And if you do, only the sevens know what would happen.

The sevens made the two of you half-enemies because you two would be unstoppable.

[miawyuu]

it'll cost you 500 DABLOONS.

[kitsunegdx]

Mothers and fuckers of the jury, I would like to say Azul Ashengrotto should be fat, send post, let him heal and let weight be a sign of healing

[lyrical-fanfics]

Let's trade (Azul AshengrottoxReader)

What do you all think of the pink? I noticed Venus uses purple, so might as well use a color too right? (Love you venu!!)

This is part of a series of one-shots that will later tie into a longer series on my AO3. They're meant to be read like the vignettes in Twisted Wonderland, so if you want a sequel please let me know. Also, let me know if you think you know what the dorm the reader is based on!

The reader is not Yuu. The reader is a student at the OC sister school Fantasia College for girls

3rd person POV

Genre: Fluff

Fem!Reader

    Making deals was his bread and butter. Making relationships with people of high social capital was important in supplying his end of deals. Those with higher levels of power also had more to offer. Any sort of connection was necessary and welcome. When he heard of The Great Antler Shedding of the Housewarden of Crowndain, he became obsessed with coming up with a way to get those sheds. Supposedly those of the Arawn line grew great antlers, used for a number of medicines, remedies, and sold like rare ivory on the market. It only made sense to get in good with the Housewarden of Crowndain now that the campuses were merged. 

    The only problem was that the Housewarden of Crowndain didn’t leave her dorm very often. She sent her favorite two dorm members to run her errands and do her bidding. A pair of siblings. The younger of the two despised anyone that approached her, so she wasn’t an option as an in. the elder, however, was rather welcoming and willing to talk. 

    Azul had been cultivating this relationship for a few weeks now. He did his best to measure out time to come visit (Name) of the Crowndain dorm. He looked for any opening in her defense, find something to blackmail her with, or even find something he could provide her that would leave her in his debt, but ever since he started looking, he found nothing. 

    Morning had inched across campus, and breakfast was the first thing on many students’ minds. Depending on the selections, students would visit one campus or the other to acquire whatever tickled their fancy in the morning. Azul found himself not wanting anything from Fantasia’s cafeteria but wanting to incite a meeting between him and (Name). 

    “Azul, hello. How are you today?” (Name) easily walked up to him as if he wasn’t an underwater mob boss. There she was, as fearful as ever. Her smile was mischievous, and every day it made him more anxious. 

    “I’m rather well. It’s good to see you in high spirits this morning.” Azul smiled at her, gesturing her to a seat in the dining hall. “What are you in the mood for this morning? I’ll go and fetch it for my darling friend--” 

    “That’s alright, Azul, we can chat while we’re in line together.” Smoothly averted. Not even letting him get a favor in edgewise. Either she was hyper-independent, or she knew Azul’s angle. 

    “Right, we can do that too…” Azul pouted slightly before accepting (Name)’s company in line for breakfast. She happily chatted about anything with him, from his time in the Board game club to her own time in the science club. It wasn’t that her company wasn’t enjoyable, it was just frustrating that he couldn’t get the upper hand. 

    “Oh look, it’s my favorite today,” (Name) quickly snatched up her favorite breakfast item. Azul didn’t even get a chance to comment anything on the food before (Name) retrieved it for herself. He let out a sigh before moving on with his food. 

Each day was often like the last. He would do anything for her, but each gift or action was rebuffed. It wasn’t malicious, but just independent. Everything was even except for his time. She provided him with hers, however, and she did well to keep it even. 

    Was she on to him? 

    “You aren’t eating much, Azul, you should take care to fuel yourself for today.” (Name) smiled as she watched Azul think. He jumped slightly before shifting his gaze to her. There it was, that mischievous gaze. It made him think that she must be aware of his goals, but the only people that truly know are himself, Jade, and maybe Floyd if he listened. What was she thinking about? 

    “I’m quite alright, I’m just going over today’s schedule in my head.” Azul lied like the air he breathed. “Many people come to me for issues they have, I am of course kind enough to listen to every word, but it takes up so much of my time.” He pivoted easily as he poked around at the food on his plate. 

    “Oh? Sounds like your kindness has filled your schedule then,” (Name) tilted her head before taking a bite of her breakfast. She did well to listen to Azul without revealing too much of her hand. 

    Some have tried to expose Azul to (Name) many times, telling her of his abuse of power, his opportunistic tendencies, and his past history with blackmail. They tell personal anecdotes where he inconvenienced another’s life because they made a bad deal. She wasn’t stupid. If anything she was all too aware of his idiosyncrasies. 

She fell in love with them, after all. 

    She wasn’t a fool when he first came to her. The land of Prytaran had many magical items, strange legends, and mystical resources that were sought after by many. To protect itself, it developed a system of lords and ladies to rule over it. Being an attendant of the great Lady of Arawn, (Name) had a duty to scope out potential problems. Much like the legendary white sow, her job was to look into the future. 

    Her only problem was that she got attached to the persistent Azul. As she found out more and more about him, she became somewhat infatuated. So long as she kept the balance of favors equal, she had an easy way to keep him coming back for more. 

    After breakfast, Azul and (Name) part and head toward their individual classes. Azul tried to hide a sour look from her as he left, but (Name) caught it. It pained her to be the reason behind his mood, but she knew he would come back to her. 

    She entered her classroom with a wide smile, catching the attention of her fellow classmates. 

    “Ugh. disgusting. What is that on your face?” Mayra Luz, Housewarden of Sapainca and Science club lead, was often stuck next to (Name).

    “That’s obvs a smile, May. You just hate joy, huh?” Lulu replied, a member of Jungbahee. She wasn’t in any position of power, but she loved to stick her nose into anything juicy. 

    “I hate her joy. She’s thinking of something awful, knowing her.” Mayra propped her head up with her hand before Lulu slid in next to her. The grumpy Mayra was stuck between both (Name) and Lulu. 

    “That’s sad that you hate my joy considering how much time we spend around one another,” (Name) giggled slightly, but Mayra scoffed. 

    “You just happened to be in the same class and extracurricular as me. Don’t get it twisted.” Mayra frowned as Lulu leaned on her, but made no attempt to push her off. “So what’s got you smiling like that?” 

    “Azul.” (Name) said it without a care in the world. She didn’t care if they knew he made her happy, but the two girls soon looked at (Name) with maw agape. (Name) couldn’t help but laugh as she saw how Azul’s mask successfully fooled the both of them into thinking he was dangerous. 

    “Of all the--” Mayra pinched the bridge of her nose before taking in a deep breath. “You were talking to that guy again!? He probably wants something from you, you know!” Mayra finally had enough of Lulu hanging off of her and quickly shrugged the clingy girl off. Lulu slid off her like a heavy backpack and hit the desk with a heavy ‘thunk.’ 

    “I know. You really don’t think much of me if you think I can’t see that.” (Name) placed a hand to her chin. Lulu only snorted. 

    “Then why spend the time with him if you know that? Do you know what he wants?” The girl was getting more interested in the conversation. 

    “I haven’t the slightest idea yet. There’s plenty that he could want.” (Name) admitted, and Mayra scoffed twice. This caught (Name)’s attention, as Mayra was one to scoff twice when she thought the answer was obvious. “Care to give some input?” 

    The professor walked in and began preparing for class, so Mayra knew she didn’t have much time. If she told her now, (Name) wouldn’t bother her after class. (Name)’s gaze was intense, and both Lulu and Mayra scooted away slightly. 

    “Alright, sheesh. I overheard something a few weeks ago. Something about how the sheds from the Arawn family are useful.” 

    (Name) blinked a few times in shock. The sheds of her lady? That was it? A measly trifle in comparison to everything that was available to Crowndain. (Name) couldn’t help but laugh at how simple it was, causing confused and irritated looks to sprout from Lulu and Mayra respectfully. 

    After class, (Name) sought Azul out after stopping at her dorm. She found him in Monstro lounge, stashed away in his office. She was immediately ushered in by Jade, whose pleased face beamed a beacon of hope at Azul. Whatever (Name) was there for, it was worth impeding upon Azul’s work. 

    The door closed behind (Name) with a secure click, ensuring peace of mind and privacy in their discussion. 

    “Oh, (Name), what praytell are you doing here at this time? Is there something you need?” Azul looked with hopeful eyes at (Name) before being surprised by a bag being dropped on his desk. (Name) looked on with a devious smile. 

    “I heard from someone that you have been looking for a rare ingredient, so I’m doing you a favor.” (Name) crossed her arms before placing a hand on her cheek in devious innocence. Azul looked on in stunned silence. He was terrified, yet excited. What was she up to? This was way out of line for (Name), as she wouldn’t do anything for him unless he had done something for her. Most of it was instantaneous too. 

    “A favor?” Azul leaned forward with intrigue. He didn’t do favors, so he needed to find something to satisfy (Name) now and take control of the situation. 

    (Name) only nodded as she opened the bag that was on Azul’s desk, pulling out the prize he had been vying for months. 

    “Are- Are those sheds from Housewarden Arawn?!” His glasses slid off his nose as he looked on with shock. (Name) nodded as she leaned forward, happy that Mayra’s information was correct. 

    “Those are indeed. Although, if you are uncomfortable with a favor, I am willing to make a deal with you, Azul.” 

    Azul felt his heart race. He was encapsulated by the confidence (Name) had at that moment, how effortless she was. He had to admit, she was attractive. 

    “A deal? Such as a contract?” Azul fixed his glasses to help hide his excitement. His hand covered his mouth, but his eyes said everything to (Name). 

    “If you’d like, but I don’t think something as small as this needs one.” Small?! Did she just call it small?! These sheds were highly valuable, if not priceless. 

    “Really it’s a small thing. Unless you want some more in the future, then maybe we can negotiate something, but you have everything I want in exchange right now.” (Name) traced the grain of Azul’s desk with her finger, subtly following it to the edge. Azul was interested in a simple trade, as writing out a full contract takes time. (Name) came in rather unexpectedly, meaning he had no time to prepare. If needed, he can make a contract for further deals later. This deal needed to happen now, as he didn’t know the conditions that caused this. He needed to seize the moment. 

    “Very well, I accept the trade, what is it that you want--” 

    (Name) swiftly grabs Azul’s lapels, pulling him up with mischievous eyes before pressing her lips to his. He froze instantly, his mind blank from shock. Just as he was finally realizing what was happening, (Name) pulled away and backed up. 

    “That was a little too selfish of me,” (Name) smiled as she loosened her grip on Azul’s lapels. “I hope you can forgive me.” 

    Azul was in shock and couldn’t say a word, letting (Name) giggle a bit before slipping out of Azul’s office. She begins to worry a bit about how Azul had acted, but she believed the deal was done. Even if he never wanted to see her again, she could be satisfied. 

    Azul sat in his office, staring up at the ceiling with wonder and disbelief. His face was red, and his heart was pounding. That was the exchange. She made it seem like she got what she wanted. 

    It seemed so unfair though. He clearly benefited far more than she did, at least he thought so. He could feel his face burning so brightly that he thought of the idea of getting fresh air, but that would require passing both Jade and Floyd on the way out. 

    Wait, what did she mean by talking about future negotiations?! What was she going to ask for next!? 

    “Azul, how did the deal go-” Jade stops dead when he sees Azul crumpled in his chair and a red face. Azul looks up with pressed lips and wide eyes, causing Jade to spread a wicked grin. “That well huh?” 

    “Shut up!”
