-Okay so, I know weāre all wondering, how the hell do you get away with hiding your gender for so damn long?
-Firstly, those ceremonial robes do great at hiding the figure. The only tell would maybe be your hair, but feminine men arenāt unwelcome at Nightraven College, so you mostly get a few questioning stares and thatās it.
-Secondly, Crowley wants to save his own fucking ass. He already has to hide from the press that he has a MAGICLESS student from ANOTHER DIMENSION here, he doesnāt need the fact that you are a woman ALSO on his plate. So, obviously, he helps you hide your gender from others.
-Grim knows, of course, and he keeps his mouth shut for a few yummy cans of tuna (and threats of being expelled from Crowley <3)
-Even when you were just a janitor, he couldnāt have the rumor that he put a āhelplessā young woman to work. (Like it wouldnāt be expected.)
-So how do you two do it?
-Baggy ass uniform. Crowley gave you at least three sizes too big.
-Your figure is completely hidden. Sure, you look completely homeless, but at least youāre hidden.
-For your voice, you simply deepen it. After some point, you blackmail Crowley into giving you a potion to help with it, since it's so taxing on your voice. (Or maybe your voice is naturally deep!)
-Sam provides you (for an unfairly pretty penny (not too different from your original worldā¦)) any feminine hygiene products you might need.
-Honestly, youāre set for being cared for, but itās the adjustment period thatās the hardest part.Ā
-Truly, itās very jarring to suddenly be thrown into both a magical world and be isolated in a man's world with nowhere to hide.
-At least in your world you had other women who could understand your struggles. Here though? Youāre completely alone.
-You notice howā¦ messy some of these guys could be. How some of them smellā¦ really rancid. -How rough they were with you and each other.
-Honestly, itās kinda eye-opening. The way men show affection to each other is oddly refreshing to watch and experience!
-Ace and Deuce specifically are a goodā¦ trial run.
-Thatās not what weāre here to talk about thoughā¦
-For the most part, it's incredibly easy to hide yourself for the first while on campus. Everyone on campus is so self-absorbed that they donāt bother questioning you.
-Your only real risk factor is Savannaclaw, but it's easy to avoid those guys (minus Jack, of course).
-However, you can only hide your gender for so longā¦ Itās mentally draining to keep up this facade all the time around people you care about.
-Soā¦ how do they find out?
Riddle
-Riddle is the last student in Heartslabyul to find out.
-Itās not like he did anything to you for you to hold off on telling him (you know, other than the whole almost killing you that one time thing), itās just that you donāt feel inclined to tell him.Ā
-Simple as that.
-He also really has no reason to question your gender.Ā
-Riddle didnāt have must interaction with people his own age until he came to night raven college, he doesnāt have the same social ideologies as other people do.
-Nightraven college is really his first touch with society outside of his mothers very watchful, conservative eye.
-So, excuse him for not picking up on stupid little gendered norms that the other students do.
-In his eyes, you dress like a man, you act (sort of) like the other male students, and you prefer he/him pronouns.Ā
-Thereās nothing more to it then, right? If you identify as a man, he has no reason not to treat you as such - nor should he suspect you would hide your gender like that.
-Besides, this is an all boys school! Crowley wouldnāt allow you to attend here unless you were also a boyā¦ right?
-He is aware there are exceptions ā and you are already QUITE the exception, but surely Crowley wouldnāt be so cruel as to force a young woman to attend an all boys academy.
-Ah, sweet Riddle, ever in denial.
-He isnāt STUPID though. He notices how brotherly Trey is to you. He knows (and has heard) your many āsecret sleepoversā with Cater.
-He ignores these things and doesnāt comment on them simply because, well, he likes you!
-He helps to tutor you sometimes, and heās gotten to know you through that, and he really does come around on enjoying your presence.
-So, he ignores Trey and Caterās odd behaviors for your sake.
-You keep him and his dorm members in high spirits, why would he want to shoo something like that away?
-He doesnāt really questionthings until heā¦ overhears a conversation between Deuce and Ace. (A rather loud one, for how supposedly secret this topic was meant to be).
-One of them had gotten in trouble with a professor, and he was going to give them a stern scolding when he overheard what they were talking about.
-āDeuce, dude, youāre gonna want to sit down for this one.ā
āWhat is it, Iām busy trying to finish my potionology homework.ā
āSeriously this one is crazy, youāre not ready for for it.ā
āAce, if youāre just messing with me Iām going to leave.ā
āDude, the prefect is a girl.ā
āā¦What?ā
-Riddle did not bother the two after that. In fact, he just walked back to his room to sit and think about what he just overheard.
-It DID make sense. You didnāt quite fit in with everyone else for reasons outside of your otherworldly origin.
-You acted differently than the typical guy here at NRC, and you seemed to get along with the peers that were more ātraditionally feminineā best.
-It would explain Treyās coddling and Caterās secretiveness.
-Still, he didnāt want to assume. This was Ace and Deuce, and Ace could just be messing around with Deuce.
-So, at your next tutoring session, he broaches the subject as politely as possible.
-āSo, prefect, I haveā¦ overheard something that I wanted to ask you about.ā
āOh no, am I in trouble because of Ace and Deuce again.ā
āNotā¦ technicallyā¦ I did, however, overhear them talking aboutā¦ you being a woman.ā
āā¦Iām gonna kill them.ā
āI could collar them for you, if that would help.ā
-The confirmation was reassuring for Riddle in multiple ways.Ā
-1) Ace isnāt as terrible of a person as the thought he was.
-2) He wasnāt crazy in noticing the slight differences in you and your other peers.
-Now, you and Riddle arenāt exactly super close by any means, so your interactions with each other are limited to when youāre either being tutored or with friends in Heartslabyul.
-However, he is notably more nervous than he usually is.
-He doesnāt have some super secret crush on your all of the sudden, he justā¦ never really had a chance to interact with women before.
-His mom kept him very sheltered from the opposite gender, so he has little to no experience with them.
-On top of that, because of his mother, he does have a slight fear of women. Heās afraid heās going to upset you and youāll blow a fuse on him or something.
-You have to assure him that you donāt bite and you wonāt suddenly start screaming at him for no reason, and then he begins to relax a bit.
-Still, heās very sweet and gentlemanly to you.
-If you need help with anyone around campus, you should come to him and he will have them dealt with accordingly.
Leona
-Leona āRespects Womenā Kingscholar.
-Leona has SLIGHTLY worse smell than Ruggie, but he also knew immediately upon your arrival that you were a girl.
-In fact, he knew you werenāt a trans man, because they smell distinctly different from the typical woman.
-There arenāt many trans people in the Savannah though, so Ruggie not being able to pick up on that doesnāt really shock him.
-Leona, however, has smelled and seen plenty of trans people in his life time ā you arenāt one of them.
-He wonāt lie, heās definitely interested in you. Women where he comes from are big and strong and proud, youāre just kind of plain.
-He keeps his ever curious eye on you though, because heās interested in how you might navigate this whole thing.
-Now donāt get it twisted, he doesnāt care about you, heās curious about you.Ā
-If you were to ask him for help on something, he wouldnāt offer it. (Not that you would, you seem particularly averse to him).
-However, if he were to see some creep trying toā¦ wellā¦ creep on you, heād chase them away without ever having you know he did.
-He was your secret bodyguard who wouldnāt admit it even if you held a knife to his throat.
-Still, he stayed out of your way and you stayed out of his.Ā
-A symbiotic relationship that you werenāt even aware existedā¦ until you got in his way.
-Like Ruggie, when you start getting a little too involved in his ahem business, he gets pretty damn annoyed.
-Youāre not exactly a threat to start, but you are a little trouble maker. If you find out what heās up to, youāll ruin his plans completely, and he canāt have that.
-However, heās not exactly comfortable ātaking care of youā like he is his male peers.
-He respects women, okay, you canāt blame him for not wanting to purposefully hurt you. (If his mom and brother found out, heād never hear the damn end of it)
-He sends out Ruggie to scare you off, explicitly telling him he canāt hurt you on purpose.
-He knows Ruggie already has an idea of whatās going on, so he doesnāt have any qualms with telling him to be careful with you.
-Still, despite all this, he doesnāt really broach the topic until heās forced to.
-Heās made it known to you, at this point, that he knows your secret.Ā
-He hasnāt caused you any extra trouble since his overblot, and he keeps his dorm members off your back, so you have no reason to interact with himā¦ until, again, you get yourself into trouble.
-This time itās YOU dragging him into your mess, despite him wanting nothing to do with it.
-You are convincing, though, so he gives and allows you to stay in his dorm room ā rent free! Isnāt he so nice.
-Jack offers himself for protection if you need it, but you can see that Ruggie is quite bemused with the whole situation, so you decide to turn him down.
-Leona hasnāt tried anything yet, and he really could if he wanted to.
-You decide you can trust him. (You have to trust him).
-Then presents the issue of sharing a bed.
-Leona isnāt a weird pervert, okay. He isnāt absolutely leaping at the idea to be in bed with you ā heās so sorry.
-Honestly, it makes him a bitā¦ uncomfortable.
-Sharing a bed is something you do with family or someone youāre involved with, not the weird magic-less kid whoās at least three years too young for you.
-So, Leona, ever the womenās rights activist, approaches you with a proposition.
-āListen, I know youāre a woman and I know you know that. Weāre not sharing a bed, there aināt no way thatās happening.ā
āOh, so would you like the poor helpless homeless woman to sleep on the floor? How cruel can you be Leona.ā
āShut up, Iām not gonna do that to you. Listen, you can have the bed all to yourself and Iāll sleep on the couch, so long as you promise not to tell a single soul about this.ā
āI promise.ā
-You immediately tell Ruggie the next morning, and he is sure to make sure Leona never forgets it.
-Living with Leona for the short period of time that you do is very insightful!
-Heās actually pretty funny, much smarter than he lets on, and almost brotherly to you. Which does not fit the M.O. you built of him in your head.
-Heās gruff and pushy, but he does it out of genuineness.
-You end up getting really close to him because of it.Ā
-His quiet and laid-back demeanor are a break from the chaos of everyone else on campus, and he doesnāt make a big deal out of anything so you can just complain and he nods along unbothered.
-Only thing you notice that upsets him is when you bring up guys who bother you.
-Those guys tend to stop bothering you shortly after. How strangeā¦
Azul
-Azul is hands down the last person on campus you want knowing about this.
-Riddle, Ruggie, Trey, Cater and pretty much everyone with half a brain tell you to stay as far away from him as possible.
-You see him in the halls sometimes, and he doesnāt look to bad. Unapproachable, sure, but heās a rather pretty guy. Well put together and seemingly very smart from what youāve been told.
-He helped to subdue Grim in the opening ceremony, so you know heās magically capable. Heās also a house warden, so that goes unspoken, I suppose.
-He seems interested in you, from what you can tell. He always waves at you when he does see you in a sort of fake friendly kind of way.Ā
-Youāve seen him and his little (large, very large) goonies admiring ramshackle before.
-Youāve also politely asked them to not do that when you moved in, because it freaks you out a lot. To which they all gave you very eerie smiles and walked away.
-They remind you of a very small mafia, and you decided to heed your friends warnings because of that.
-You do so successfully for a long time too. Other than the few previously stated interactions, Azul seems un-inclined to bother you, and you donāt want to catch his leering eyes.
-Little do you know, Azul has a much more watchful eye on you that you initially thought.
-Sure, you donāt have much to offer him magic wise, but you have ramshackle. Oh, how he wants ramshackle.
-You are key to obtaining it, he justā¦ has to find something on you first.
-Youāre so painfully average. Perhaps a little more pretty in the face than his other peers, but you sacrifice that with the atrociousness of your uniform.Ā
-Truly, nothing about you is different.
-He almost gives up until Grim delivers him an opportunity in a pretty little bow.
-You agree to his contract out of the goodness of your heart, just like he knew you would. So sweet and kind are you, to practically hand him the deed to ramshackle on a silver platter.
-He notices, however, that Jade grows a veryā¦ sudden fascination with you.
-Sure, he told both Jade and Floyd to keep and eye on you and keep you in like, but for Jade to be so interestedā¦ very odd.
-Then, shortly after, Floydās own interest is piqued. Alrightā¦ less odd than Jade, but to have both of their eyes on you must mean heās missing something. (I know I previously said that Floyd found out after Azul, but I was stupid and wrong and you should never listen to me when Iām talking about Floyd).
-He tries to get it out of them by any means, Asking, blackmailing, manipulation. He really does try, but their lips are sealed tight.
-It frustrates him to no end that they know something he doesnāt, and that he canāt figure out this very big secret.
-It stumps him for so long, because heās looking in all the wrong places for the answer.
-Meanwhile, you know that Jade and Floyd know and you are TERRIFIED waiting for Azul to use this against you.
-The suspense starts killing you and making you anxious enough that its affecting sleep, so you decide to bite the bullet and arrange a meeting with him.
-Azul is honestly delighted, because he was just going to outright force the truth from you at this point.
-āIām glad you set up this meeting, Iāve been meaning to talk to you.ā
āI knowā¦ Iāve been pretty nervous about it since Jade and Floyd started pestering me.ā
āBefore I talk about what I want to, Iād like to hear what you have to say. Iām a good listener after all.ā
āToo good, if you ask me. Uhm, anyway, so I know that Jade and Floyd to you that Iām a girl already, but Iām really hoping you would just leave me be. You owe me after all.ā
āā¦Youāre a girl?ā
āDid they not tell youā¦?ā
-what. What? WHAT?!?!?!
-How could he not tell, he feel so incredibly stupid. Its so obvious now that he thinks about it.
-No wonder Jade and Floyd wouldnāt stop teasing him about it.
-He agrees not to let the secret out ā he DOES owe you his life, after all. This is a minor trade.
-However, he does not mentally recover from this revelation for a while.
-He doesnāt treat you very different, I suppose. Heās more gentlemanly with you, and is generally more friendly, but those things come from saving a persons life regardless.
-He is, surprisingly, willing to ensure your whole gender thing doesnāt get out so long as you work a few hours at the monster lounge.
-Probably the best at keeping it to himself and making sure it doesnāt get out. You wouldnāt expect any less with Azul, though.
Kalim
-You and Kalim donāt really have much of a chance to interact.
-He seems sweet enough, and you know heās much kinder than the rest of the dorm leaders, but you donāt really have any reason to interact with him.
-Kalim also doesnāt think too much of you.Ā
-You caused a ruckus at the entrance ceremony, thatās for sure, but you kinda blend into the background.
-Besides heās a party animal ā constantly hosting these huge parties at his dorm just because he can.
-As someone trying to keep out of trouble and hide such a huge secretā¦ yeah, parties arenāt exactly your forte.
-So, when you get roped in to coming to Scarabia over winter break, Kalim is pleasantly surprised!
-Heās always excited to make a new friend, and youāre pretty infamous around school, so heās extra excited to get to know you.
-Kalim has no reason to question anything about you, like most other people would.
-However, he isnāt stupid. He has plenty of younger sisters, and he picks up on social queues better than youād expect.
-He definitely suspects something is off, but he figures you would tell him if something was up.Ā
-You actually find him quite easy to be around. Heās someone who makes it easy to let your walls down and just relax with.
-Despite his sudden mood shifts, he always makes sure that youāre happy and healthy and doing the best you can be in your position.
-However, you run out of the magical potion that deepens your voice pretty quickly, and you have to go back to dramatically straining your voice.
-You sound sick, honestly, and it makes Kalim worry.Ā
-He figures that youāre forcing yourself to deepen your voice so youāre still perceived as a man.
-Instead of asking you directly, as Kalim does, he goes to Jamil.
-āJamilā¦ā
āWhat do you need, Kalim?ā
āDonāt you think somethingsā¦ off with the prefect?ā
āOff? What are you talking about, nothings off with them.ā
āNo, I meanā¦ do you think they might beā¦ a girl?ā
āā¦Kalim, thatās very rude to say. You need to be more respectful.ā
āā¦Youāre right, Iām sorry. Could we get him something to soothe his voice though, it sounds rough.ā
-Kalim is a lot more watchful of you after that. He justā¦ knows something is wrong, but he doesnāt want to be rude.
-Itās actually you who comes to him when no one is around for help.
-āKalim, uhm, I need your help.ā
āSure, whatās up?ā
āSo, Iām pretty sure you know, but Iām not a guyā¦ Iām a girl, and I really need help hiding it. The longer Iāve been here, the harder itās been on me.ā
-Sweetheart he is, he promises to both help you and keep your secret to himself ā and he does both surprisingly well!
-He offers his private bathroom to you so you can shower in peace.Ā
-Itās honestly the best bath youāve ever had with all his sweet smelling oils. Your skin feels so smooth and renewed.
-Still, even with this, you still donāt feel safe with anyone else ā plus the fact that Kalim has random and horrifying mood shifts. You have to flee.
-And yet you still get dragged into more trouble with the octatrio. You still get exposed to the whole dorm by a crazed Jamil, and now have to deal with the horror that theyāll tell everyone.
-Kalim feels awful, and thus shows his forgiveness in the best way he can: giving gifts.
-You get tons of apology gifts from him in the coming months. Baskets of the best shower stuff youāve ever had; a new, better fitted but still innocuous uniform; enough tuna to keep grim satisfied for years (and sweets that you happily keep to yourself).
-Itās so nice, but you start to feel bad. It feels like youāre taking advantage of his guilt, when youāre not really upset at anyone involved anymore.
-Youāre welcome at Scarabia any time. None of his dorm members will ever cause you any trouble, and you can dress and act and sound however you want within Scarabiaās walls.Ā
Vil
-Miss beauty queen himself. We love Vil, we Stan Vil, we adore Vilā¦Ā
-Oh my god heās a pain in the ass though, especially for you.
-He sees through you in an instant.
-Truly, Vil finds you to be more of a little pest than anything.
-You are constantly in trouble, you are magic less, and you decided to needlessly hide your gender.
-The last one is the worst offense in his eyes.
-Vil is someone who does not value gender, but expression. Your gender does not matter as much as your expression, therefore you hiding your expression irks him.
-Heās understanding enough in the fact that he knows you might be doing this to protect yourself, but he finds it stupid and useless, because youāre easy to see through.
-He avoids you, and you avoid him. Simple as that.
-Unfortunately for Vil, youāve caught Rookās eye, which means he must sit through many hours of Rook rambling on about his āfindingsā about you.
-When you tried out for the VDC, he was simply going to turn you and Grim away, but Rook convinced him to give you a chance.
-Rook wanted him to help your reveal your āinner beautyā, though Vil wasnāt sure if you had any of that.
-You wore baggy, horrifically ugly clothing up until winter break. Your hair was constantly a mess. Your skin was poorly taken care of, and the bags under your eyes were as dark as night.
-It almost made him feel bad for youā¦ so despite his better judgement, he decided to invest time in you.
-Vil makes it very clear that he knows what your whole secret is.
-āI am aware of the fact that you are a woman, however, I will continue to use your preferred pronouns since it seems to bring you comfort.ā
-Heās very insistent that you allow him to do your skincare AND your makeup whenever you give him the chance.
-Especially when he moves into ramshackle temporarily, heās very insistent on maintaining your skincare routine.
-He essentially makes your entire nightly routine himself, and is right there over your shoulder making sure you do it right.
-Despite how overbearing it is, you actually make good friends with him through this.
-Being stuck alone in a room with no one but him to talk to forces you two to talk.
-You get to learn why he cares so much about appearances, and he gets to know why you hide to protect yourself.
-āItās justā¦ easier to pretend, because guys will bother me less that way.ā
āI canāt understand why they would bother you. Youāve done nothing to them, so why would they want to do anything to you.ā
āThatās the thing, I donāt know either. I just know itās scary, and I donāt want to deal with it.ā
-You move him, honestly. Youāre strong even though youāre scared, and thatās beautiful. Thats what true beauty is.
-He helps you embrace your inner self and express that, while still helping you to hide your gender in a way that feels safe.
-You are always welcome at Pomefiore, and you can come to either him or Rook if you have any issues at all.
-Itās like having a big sister, almost.
Idia
-Idia has eyes everywhere.
-Every inch of that campus is (illegally) being monitored by his watchful eyes.Ā
-When heās bored in class, he flicks through the cameras to amuse himself ā maybe heāll see someone slip and fall on their ass. That would be funny.
-Heās not really interested in you in particular.
-In fact, heād like to keep a very far distance between the two of you.
-Youāreā¦ intimidating. Youāve fought some of the most powerful mages on campus and won.
-Total final boss energy, not something Idia is interested in being around.
-What he IS interested in is that wittle kitty youāve got following you around.
-When heās bored in class, he goes searching for Grim, and where Grim is you are sure to be.
-So, despite his aversion to you, he ends up spending a lot of time watching you.
-He starts to noticeā¦ things about you.
-He notices that you seem to put on a tough guy persona aroundā¦ wellā¦ other guys in your class.
-When itās just you and Grim though? Youāre the softest softie heās ever seen.
-Itās top tier cringe watching you try to being all macho, so he much prefers your more quiet and relaxed self you show in private.
-Seriously though, youāre a TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON when youāre alone with certain people.
-EVEN YOUR VOICE CHANGES!!!
-Itās so uber creepy, itās like a jumpscare every time you drop that fake deep voice.
-If heās being real, youāve got a pretty voice. Honestly, youāre really pretty period. Too pretty to be a guy honestly.
-ā¦
-ā¦.
-ā¦..HOLY SHIT!!!
-He has to check your medical files to be sure ā which he obviously has access to, thanks to having access to everything Ortho has access to.
-Blah blah blah allergies, blah blah blah horrific injuries from overblots, blah blah blah- AH HAH!
-Next to gender you are listed asā¦ transgender man.
-He doesnāt wanna be that weird transphobic incel, but from what heās seen? He highly doubts that.
-From what heās seen in his (invasive) watching, youāre definitely doing the troupe of hiding your gender to better fit in.
-He feels like heās in an anime or something.
-He doesnāt really want to bother you about it ā but from watching you, you seem like someone heād really enjoy being around.
-Ortho also insists that heād get along with you very well!
-ā¦Itās worth a shot right.
-He tries several times to ābumpā into you, which always ends in him skittering away in fear.
-He psyches himself out every time. āThey wouldnāt even wanna hang out with a loser like me.ā āTheyāre way too cool for someone as lame as me.āĀ
-Itās not until you invite yourself to one of tabletop clubās meetings that heās forced to interact with you.
-Heās really banking on the fact that youāll be too busy talking with Azul to notice him, but then Azul leaves and its just you and him.
-Him and youā¦
-Both of youā¦ in total and complete silence.
-ā¦yepā¦Ā
-āUhm, Idiaā¦?ā
āyES!?ā
āI came here cause I wanted to talk to you, sorry for being so underhanded about it, I just couldnāt get you alone without you running off.ā
āAHā I mean, ahem, okay. My bad.ā
-You totally cornered him like an evil villain.
-All because you wanted toā¦ be his friend?
-Is he dreaming, going insane perhaps, did HE get isekaied into an alternate universe where he was likable???
-Nope, Ortho just talks him up a lot, and you think his hair is cool. Huh. Kinda lame compared to what he was thinking.
-You guys talk a LOT after that. You exchange numbers and you text him about all sorts of stuff ā and heās actually interested in it!
-You learn that heās been watching you and Grim for a long time, and while you scold him.
-You think itās pretty funny that heās embarrassed about his love for cute things.
-āIf youāve been keeping your eye on me for so long, you mustāve figured out that Iām a girl, right?ā
āYeah, youāre not great at hiding it. That macho guy act is suuuuper lame, you look like a noob lol.ā
āHey! Iām just copying what Deuce told me to do!ā
-You guys donāt really see each other face to face very often, but like I said you text a lot.
-Sometimes heāll text you shit like āI saw that, saved it for blackmail.ā After you biffed your shit on the pavement or something.
-When Idia gets more comfortable, you two spend hours on call whenever you get the chance.
-He lends you some of his precious manga, and even gives you an older TV he had laying around so you can watch stuff at ramshackle.
-Sometimes he invites you over to play video games with him and Ortho, and he gets all cocky and proud when you gush about how cool all his tech is.
-And, yeah, Idia definitely forms a little crush on you ā but he would do that regardless of your gender.Ā
-He just likes you a lot, and you can feel safe on campus knowing heās watching over you when you need it. (Mostly watching Grim, tbh.)
Malleus
-We know that Malleus enjoysā¦ creeping outside of Ramshackle.
-He spends quite a lot of time on your front lawn, therefore, heās usually in proximity of you.
-However, he is very intimidating!
-As a young woman in a magical world that you are not from, a very tall man with horns is the exact opposite of what you want to be around.
-Besides, youāve heard the rumors about him ā how powerful he is, and how scary he is.
-Malleus, on the other hand, is admittedly curious about you.
-He finds humans in their own right incredibly interesting, but you are not just a regular human.
-You are a human who has no magic and is from another world entirely.Ā
-You are something he has never once seen in his whole life, so excuse his childish curiosity.
-Still, youāre sort of cleverly avoiding him at every chance you get, and he just canāt quite find the time to talk to you.
-Until one night, you come back rather late and you find him in your yardā¦ again.
-You send Grim in by himself and decide to confront him by yourself, because you are tired of being afraid to fall asleep at night.
-āHey, you, could you maybe not stare at my house in the middle of the night!ā
-Oh. You are quite feisty, and very bold to approach Malleus Draconia with such an aggressive tone.
-āIām unsure what you mean, Iām simply admiring the architecture.ā
āI donāt care WHAT youāre doing, youāre freaking me out! I know youāre supposedly some big scary monster guy, but I need you to STOP being weird outside my house.ā
āā¦My apologiesā¦ā
-Malleus is pleasantly surprised at your spunk ā heās never been spoken to like that, heās excited by it.
-After you yell at him, you let him explain himself, and you realize he is justā¦ really, really bad at socializing.
-He wasnāt watching you, he just really enjoys silence and ramshackle is the quietest place on campus ā even with you living in it.
-So, you give him the benefit of the doubt, because he really does just seem like heās lost on everything around him 90% of the time.
-You donāt hang out with him during the day, but if you happen to see him on your lawn (as he usually is), you go out and hang out with him for a while.
-It makes Malleus happy, because you treat him like a friend. You give him cute nicknames, and you invite him inside for snacks, and you go out of your way to say hello to him when you pass him in the halls.
-He also gets to know more about you, and his curiosities about you and your world get quelled.
-He doesnāt really question anything about you, especially not your gender.
-Gender is hardly important for fae, and you seem confident in your expression, so he has no reason to wonder. Besides, there are far more thrilling things about you than your sex.
-So, you and Malleus start to grow close. So close, in fact, that you can confidently say that heās one of your closest friends.
-At this point, almost everyone who you want to know about your gender knows. Everyone but Malleus.
-Initially you kept it a secret because you didnāt know how good he was at not talking, but nowā¦
-Now, well, you donāt really have a reason.
-People usually question you at this point, or at least seem suspicious, but Malleus?
-Malleus shows not a hint that he thinks something is up. Itās odd to you, isnāt he supposed to be super smart or something. Maybe heās just too respectful.
-Regardless, you decided to talk to him about it the next time you see him staring at the gargoyles around campus.
-āHey Tsunotaro, whatāre you up to?ā
āJust admiring these gargoyles here, arenāt they fascinating? They were the first few installed in the school, if my memory serves me correctly.ā
āThey are very cool, but could I ask you something not gargoyle related?ā
āWhat is it, child of man?ā
āYou know that Iām, uhm, a girl right?ā
āOh. I did not know that, how interesting.ā
-He doesnāt understand why you would hide that, but it doesnāt really perturb him that much.
-The most you got was an eyebrow raise, and then he was back to his gargoyles.
-You were pretty satisfied with that, so you figured he wouldnāt tell anyoneā¦ and then you hear him loudly talking about it with his friends in Diasomania.
-Sighā¦ he means well, but he just doesnāt get the social stuff.
-Youāre not mad, because pretty much everyone knows at this point, but it still sucks that heās such a loudmouth.
